Pikon sa katotohanan

Bakit kaya galit ang kampo ni Mike Arroyo sa political ad ni Alan Cayetano, kandidato para senador ng Genuine Opposition, na pinapakita ang kanyang ginawa noong hearing sa kongreso sa kasong kanyang isinampa laban kay Alan?

Hindi naman niretoke ang kanyang mukha at kanyang sinabi. Talagang makatotohanan.

Ang galing nitong ad ni Alan. Pinapakita ang video clip ni Arroyo na buong yabang na nagsabi, “It’s none of your business” (Wala kang paki-alam).

Ito ay sinabi niya noong hearing sa House Ethics committee laban kay Cayetano. Sinabi kasi ni Alan na kung talagang sinsero siyang ipakita sa bayan na walang siyang ill-gotten wealth o kayamanang maaring nakuha sa illegal na paraan, dapat magbigay siya ng authorization na buksan sa publiko ang kanyang bank accounts dito sa Pilipinas bago pumunta sa Germany.

Pinagpipilit kasi ni Arroyo na wala siyang milyon-milyon na nakatago sa Germany . Hindi raw totoo ang sinabi ni Alan na may milyones siya sa German bank. Kumuha pa ng certification si Arroyo sa Germany na wala raw account na sa kanyang pangalan o kay Gloria Arroyo.

Akala naman ni Arroyo tanga ang sambayanang Pilipino na maniwala sa kanyang certification. Alam naman ng lahat na pwedeng ilagay sa ibang pangalan ang tinatagong pera.

Balik tayo sa political ad ni Alan.

Pinakita rin doon sa political ad ang sagot ni Alan, “No, it is the business of the Filipino people.” (Hindi, may paki-alam ang sambayanang Filipino.)

Talaga naman. May paki-alam ang Filipino, tayo lahat, sa nangyayari sa pamahalaan dahil pera natin ang ginagamit.

Sa mga survey na ginawa ng Pulse Asia at SWS, si Mike Arroyo ang isa sa pinaka-iinisan ng taumbayan. Kaya habang inaaway niya si Alan, lalo namang maraming may gusto sa batang kandidato para senador.

Kaya dirty tricks ang ginagawa naman nina Arroyo. Nandiyan ang hindi raw Filipino citizen si Alan, sabi ni Justice Secretary Raul Gonzales. Nandiyan rin na pinatakbo nila itong kargador sa pier sa Davao na si Joselito Cayetano at nagpalista sa Comelec ng pangagalng “Peter”.

Klarong “nuisance candidate” o pampagulo na kandidato itong si Joselito Cayetano ngunit ayaw i-disqualify ni Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos.

Itong kaso ni Joselito Cayetano ay isang nakakabahalang signal na si Abalos at ang Comelec ay hindi para sa malinis at patas na eleksyon. Ito ay nagpapahiwatig na galamay si Abalos nina Gloria at Mike Arroyo.

Gahibla na lang ang tiwala ng taumbayan sa Comelec. Sana hindi na hintayin ni Abalos na mapigtal pa.

  1. Bakit pikon?

    I think because Alan Peter’s ad shows the ugliness of Pike Piggy Arroyo, his being uncouth and more, his stupidity.

  2. Truth hurts and Alan pushed the right buttons to unmask the arrogance of the boor. I’m glad Alan exposed the abominable fat man and allow the people to see for themselves how the first (un)gentleman conducts himself. The boor is just full of hot air and the best that he can do is fart from his mouth.

    If Fartso is not arrogant and can hold his temper and yabang, he’s nothing to complain about. Akala kasi niya ay kayang-kaya niya ang lahat ng tao. Puto porma lang naman ang masibang tao! Giri ang giri, wala namang ikasa! Buti at nakakita siya ng katapat kay Alan Peter na hindi natinag sa pananakot ng Pidals. “yan ang gusto ko sa kandidato, may yagbols opposite kay Fartso!

    Sige, awayin pa nila si Alan, libreng advertisement. Ngayon pati ang mga mamamayan sa kanayunan ay kilala na si Alan. Sa susunod na survey ay number one na ‘yan.

  4. Chabeli Chabeli

    I agree w/ Schumey that the “Truth hurts”.

    Like Gloria, FARTSO seems to have have difficulty handling the truth. They both had this thing about rejecting the truth, in most cases, they would fight the truth. That is probably why they are stuck in the mud. After all, the truth does set one free. They still don’t get it, do they ?

    However one looks at it, the old adage still holds true: Ang pikon, talo !

  5. chi chi

    Pikon si Fartso kasi walang binatbat! Hahah, balik sa kanyang katabaan ang lahat ng sinabi niyang katarantaduhan, hindi niya akalain na gagamitin siya ni Alan sa political ad. Tuso man daw ang matsing, naisahan din! Wala kasing isip si Fartso, dinadaan lang sa laki at baho ng belly, bulsa at bibig!

    Ang ibang mga pikon sa gobyerno:

    Ebdane – ”is that your problem?” – when confronted by a reporter
    Esperon – ”then sue me!”;”it’s my prerogative” -when caught lying about the PTI recommendation
    R. Gonzales – ”…muchacho.” – refering to Alston who implicated the military in extraducial killings and gma’s inaction about it.
    Abalos – ”sya lang ba ang pwedeng tumakbo?” – refering to the real Cayetano when the latter complained about the inclusion of a fake cayetano in the senatorial race.

    hindi ko na isama ang super pikon-si gloria.

    Ang pikon na tao ay walang paninindigan sa sarili,astang intelihente “KUNO” pero ampaw ang ulo.Mahirap pagkatiwalaan ang ganyang tao na hindi marunong tumangap ng pagkakamali at di marunong magpakumbaba.Sa lugar namin,tinitirador namin ang ulo pati lapayag nila pinipitik pa ng lastiko.
    Sa oras ng election natural iyan na maglabasan ng baho,may atake di golpe pa iyan pag may miting sa plaza at palakpakan ang mga tao pati na ang mga tuso at ungol ng ASO.Kaya itong si Fatsu na pikon sa tuwing secondo-secondo ay ibasyo na lang sa ibang mundo.

    It really is a well-made video, opening with the arrogant flash of the Pig and ending with the same animal’s soprano voice-over. The brother did a fine job painting a fair picture of his fighter of a brother in stark contrast to the dark image portrayed by the villainous pachyderm.

    If director Lino Cayetano is reading this, I would suggest the next clip show the now famous “putang ina” blurts of father, sons and lawyer in one synchronized screen.

    That should remind the people that this is the family that claims lineage to St. Teresa de Avila.

    FYI Cocoy, after the reaction from the ASO triumvirate on the “How much is that doggie” satire jingle, the oppo creative team has included Pangilinan in a new jingle. After ASO comes POSA, maybe Ellen can supply the lyrics.

  13. Pikon? I think it is not the right word for this guy, who just thinks he is now so powerful no one can challenge him nor afford to stop him. Kayang-kaya niyang ipapatay kahit sino sa totoo lang with the price of life in the Philippines so cheap although compared to the price of hired killers 10 or more years ago, the price actually has increased with the cheapest offer set now at 100,000, which is also the lowest price of one kidney in the Philippines!!!

    Many years ago, I was able to interpret for a hired killer from the Philippines, and he bragged that his asking price was about a hundred dollars for foreigners. “Mas mura po kung parehong pilipino!”

    And they call themselves Christians! Susmaryosep!

  14. Tongue T,

    Iyong claim re the Catholic saint, hindi naman totoo! Just trying hard ang mga ungas to claim that sainthood runs in their blood for the sake of the two aunts daw who are apt for sainthood dahil nagmimilagro daw, and to refute the fact that the Fatso is acting more like the evil Rasputin in that folk tale on Anastacia!

    Baka naman mga aswang as many believe they originate in Panay, the place of origin of these Pidals. Kayang-kaya iyong mga ginagawa ng mga suckers ala-princess of Count Dracula. No offense intended to the inhabitants of Panay. I’m just stating a popular belief and folklore!!!

  15. artsee artsee

    Many years ago (naks), may lumapit sa akin isang hired killer at inamin na may nag-utos sa kanya na patayin ako. Ang dahilan ay inggit sa negosyo at kayamanan ko. Asar sa kayabangan ko. Nakonsiyensia itong killer at hindi tinuloy dahil napakabait ko daw. Tanong ko sa kanya kung magkano ang alok sa kanyang patayin ako, sagot niya P2 Billion (two billion pesos). Nainsulto ako sa sinabi niya. Di ko akalain na ang halaga ng buhay ko ay Two Billion Pesos lang. Hindi pa ginawang dollars. Bilang pasasalamat ay inabutan ko na lang ng P5 Million (five million pesos). Sa laki ng tuwa niya ay payag siyang patayin iyong nag-utos sa kanya pero pinigilan ko. Ayaw ko kasi ng patayan at pumatay ng tao. Kasama iyan sa sampung utos ng Diyos.

    Pasensya na Ma’m Ellen, pero sa palagay ko ni gahiblang tiwala ay wala na ang matitinong taumbayan ng Pilipinas para kay benjamin abalos at kaniyang mga alipores sa cemelec. Kaya siya at sampu ng mga taong iyon sa puwesto nila ay una, dahil nga kay gloria at sa asawa nitong si tabang lamig, pangalawa ay dahil ubod talaga ng kapal ang apog at walang kahihiyan itong dating meyor ng Mandaluyong na ngayon ay isa sa mga dagis ni aleng gloria sa kaniyang dog pound. At ikatlo, tayong mga Pilipino na rin ang may kasalanan, dahil bakit hindi nating magawang ipetisyon at puwersahing ipatanggal si abalos sa kaniyang kinaluluklukang puwesto? Manhid na siguro tayong lahat sa mga kawalanghiyaang nakikita natin, na siya namang sinasamantala ng mga makakapal ang mukha na tulad nitong sina abalos. Alam na nga nating lahat na tiyak nang lulutuin nitong sina abalos ang eleksyon, pero ano pa’t nakikilahok pa rin nga tayong lahat sa halalang ito? Kapag natapos ang eleksyon sa Mayo, at nagkaroon ng paborableng resulta sa grupo ni gloria, duon pa lamang ba ulit mag-iingay at uusigin sina abalos? Patawad sa mga kababayan kong umaasa na totoong magkakaroon ng patas at malinis na halalan, this is just an exercise in futility for all of us who are longing for a real change in our present political leaderships. As long as the same cast of characters are the main players on this official election body called the Comelec, that hope would still and will always be just a dream.

  17. Be careful who you laugh at.

    Pikon sa katotohanan is a trait that can be attributed to Pinoys in general. That is why objective and critical debate never quite gets the toehold it should get in our political life — because our politicians our pikon and they reflect society at large — averse to The Truth.

    That is also why our society is slow to change. We as a people notoriously lack self-examination faculties. We seem to be afraid about what we will discover about ourselves if we look closely enough.

    The sad fact is that to be able to change, one has to understand fundamental issues. And the truth is, the things that hobble our efforts to progress lie in the very fabric of our society — our lack of self-reflection, jocular attitude towards serious issues, lack of ability to critically evaluate options, and an inability to approach problem solving from a systemic perspective.

    Dahil sa kontrol nina gloria at tabang lamig sa Comelec, nakapamamayagpag ang mga nilalang na tulad ni lozano, na iniisip na ang lahat ng Pilipino ay kaya niyang linlangin. Ang lakas pa ng hiya at apog ng matandang ito na pilit pang ginagaya ang itsura ng namayapa nang dating Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, na magpa-interbyu on national tv at iboka ang pulos taliwas sa katotohanang sitwasyon tungkol sa tunay na misyon na kaniyang ginagampanan. Malinaw na itong si lozano ay pakawala ng grupo ni gloria at tabang lamig, siya ay isa nang aso ng mga pidal, kung kaya’t kahit si Gov. Bongbong Marcos na anak mismo ng kaniyang dating panginoong nagtatag ng Kilusang Bagong Lipunan ay kaniya nang kinakagat.Pero ang papel nitong si lozano ay wala sang saysay at matiwasay tayong makakatulog na hindi naiinis sa kaniya kung si abalos lamang ay totoong malinis at patas. Dahil ang panggulong pakawala nitong si lozano na si joselito “pepito” cayetano ay matagal nang balik piyer duon sa Kabisayaan, at hindi na nasisilayan pa ng camera ng telebisyon na pakamay-kamay at pakaway-kaway sa mga stupidong miyembro ng KBL ni lozano.

    Obvious na ang Comelec ay maka-administrasyon. Kung hinihingi ni Abalos(los) ang nagastos ng GO Opposition nuong Plaza Miranda rally ay dapat na hingin niya rin ang detalye ng nagastos at ginagastos ng TU-Team Arroyo. Inamin ni Ace Durano na hindi malayong baka(?) nagagastos daw ay pera ng local government sa kanilang mga kampanya. Ito ay malaking paglabag sa election rules at isang krimen sa taong bayan. At bakit di pa i-disqualify ni Abalos(los) si Joselito “Juju” Cayetano eh puro kasinungalingan naman ang pinaglalagay sa kanyang Certificate of Candidacy (which is perjury). Ito ba ang papayagan ng Comelec na maging mambubutas, este mambabatas? Aba Abalos(los), MAGBAGO KA NA AT HUWAG MAGING KASANGKAPAN SA PANDARAYA! MINAMATYAGAN KA NI LORD!

    Teka, at napapansin ko na naglilipatan ang ibang Lakas Party members sa Kampi Party. Marahil ay hindi patas ang hatian ng gastos sa coalition ng administrasyon. Siyempre mas lamang ang nabibigay sa mga ka-party (kaparte) ni Gloria Engkantada.

    Artsee,
    Baka kamo maging Aklas Party pag nabuwisit kay Gloria Engkantada dahil hindi yata nabibigay ang mga pondong pinapangako niya. Medyo nahihirapan kasi silang maglabas ng pera galing sa kaban ng bayan dahil maraming makamatyag at yung iba ay takot dahil baka magaya kay Bulate este, Bolante. Kaya pakonti-konti pa lang ang pagpuslit ng pondo. At tsaka mas pinaghahandaan ni Engkantada ang local elections. Takot siyang duon siya matodas!

  23. luzviminda luzviminda

    Duon niya ibubuhos ang pondo sa mga babayaran niya sa local government. Dahil duon magkakaroon ng pinaghahandaan nilang SWITCHING of ballots and lection returns. Sa City Hall o sa Provincial capitol kasi dinadala yung mga ballot boxes pagkatapos bilangin sa mga voting precints. Kaya naman napakaraming sinususpinding mga local officials na nasa oposisyon para hawak nila ang SUSI ng dayaan. BANTAYAN ANG BOTO NINYO!

    Tsk tsk. Kung ito lang pala ang mga isyu hanay sa pagpa-lipat-lipat nga ating mga pulitiko e talagang walang ibang hinaharap ang lipunan natin kundi ang tuluyang maulit ang kagaguhan ng nakaraan.

    If we haven’t yet picked up the shallowness of what is transpiring in the political arena and instead play in and delight in all this in the form of all this petty gossiping about which politician is allied with what political “party”, then we indeed haven’t matured beyond what is nothing more than a perverted application of that otherwise noble concept called democracy.

Kahit nga siguro tunay na aso ang isalang ng oposisyon, oposisyon pa rin ang ihahalal ko, maipakita lamang ang aking tahasang pagkasuklam sa lantaran at patagong paglapastangan ng pamunuang ito sa ating mga karapatan.

    My vote is primarily a protest vote. Secondarily, a vote for bright legislators. This is, as of now, the only means within the bounds obligatory adherence to the Constitution and respect for democratic institutions, the only move I can make to hold the government, particularly GMA, accountable for its actions/inactions.

    Much as I abhor Benigno’s (and any other posters’) insults heaped on Filipinos in general, I, personally, find it challenging to think about the thoughts he posts.

    He is laying out our collective weaknesses in his thoughts. A lot of them hurt to the bones- because they are true.

    If his intention is to malign the Filipino (and I believe, it is not), I’d dismiss his thoughts as nothing but crap and concentrate on attacking his person elsewhere, not in this blog.

    If his intention is to wake the Filipino up (and I believe it is) so the Filipino can take an honest look at himself and move forward from where he is, I will engage him in exchanges here in this blog. He came up with stirring questions we did not have any collective answers to. I find it disturbing that we are fighting and we do not know exactly what we are fighting for. Though, I am sure, we know who exactly we are fighting against.

    Looking at the posts here, it looked like he is our Pidal and we are his Cayetano. Wouldn’t it be better if we start looking at him from a different perspective?

    We hate Pidal so much because of his arrogance and and being “Pikon”. Let us not be like the Pidal we so much love to hate…

  39. Why don’t they just scrap the Comelec? It is a useless agency, and a great burden on the Filipino taxpayers considering the amount of money paid to the greedy Commissioners who are in fact useless especially when their main function is only to cheat for the incumbent.

    Unfortunately, there is no such thing as honest agency in the Philippines that can take over the function of keeping the elections there orderly as the kind of national bureau that is similar to the local government department in the Philippines that takes care of our elections here that do not in fact happen all the time.

    Likewise, over here, the bureaucrats do not kowtow to the politicians or elected officials even when the departments are headed by ministers from the ranks of the politicians, because they know who their breadwinners are, the people who pay taxes from whence their salaries come!

    It’s a good feeling to know clearly in fact the Prime Minister, for instance, is my public servant, and that he should know how to take my criticisms with some grain of salt. Otherwise, it would be best for him to just step down and give the job to someone more accommodating and willing to do the impossible for the people he is supposed to serve, not slave!!!

    Likewise, over here, the military is not allowed to meddle in police work, even in the catching of Japanese or even foreign terrorists. It is the duty of the local police agencies under the supervision of the National Police Agency, which is more a policy-making body. The Japanese military is only for protecting Japan from foreign invasion, and amazingly, not even with a Nokor or Chinese nuclear threat.

    In the Philippines, the military is now even functioning as the police and there is no more distinction in the function of the local police and the military that has become abusive, and has the prerogative to no longer just arrest and send criminals for prosecution to court, but to try and execute them without trial by directly shooting at them, thus, the present state of terror propagated by the bogus regime.

    Why can Filipinos not see this now before the Philippines turn into another killing field like Cambodia, etc. where the “tulisans” and ordinary criminals are lumped up into lefftists and communists only because of sheer prejudice? If that is not stupidity, what is, especially considering the fact that the maldita bogus president connived in fact with the Commies when she grabbed power from the legitimate president of the Philippines, corrupt though he might be himself because of a culture of graft and corruption prevalent and much worse than before 1986!!!

    My sympathy to all the idiots out there!!!

  40. ystakei:
    “the military is now even functioning as the police and there is no more distinction in the function of the local police and the military that has become abusive”
    I agree with you 100%. “Why can Filipinos not see this now before the Philippines turn into another killing field like Cambodia” Enough is Enough.

    I share your views about Benigno, Ka Enchong. I seldom read his posts in full bec he comes accross to me as condescending and that’s a turn off. I read one in full where he mentioned about ‘institutional reforms’ and i realized he has valid points. I think people here will appreciate him better if he would be more practical and specific. I find his comments too generalized and bookish. What, for instance, needs to be reformed, where to start, and maybe from there we can dwell on it.

  42. Ka Enchong:
    “He is laying out our collective weaknesses in his thoughts” thats okey but where’s his bloody solutions ZILCH!
    We don’t need to be told the problems or are we so stupid that we dont know the problems and need someone sat in Australia to repeat the mantra until we are bored out of our minds and stop listening. He has so far come up with one suggestion to stop paying our taxes, and everyone laughed!

  43. kitamokitako:
    You got it as far as he’s bookish, maybe thats because he has already has all his arguments on his word processor from writing his online book, and lifts a passage from his book according to the bloggers comment. Thats why its so boring and generalised.

  44. I find it disturbing that we are fighting and we do not know exactly what we are fighting for. Though, I am sure, we know who exactly we are fighting against

    .

    I think there is actually nothing to fight for. Those here who are all palaban are probably indoctrinated from this tired old “LABAN” rhetoric of the Trapos.

    It’s ironic, isn’t it? The most virulent and noisiest proponents of “laban” here — those morons who raise their fists in anger against this and that politician are probably those who are the most blind dancers to the tune of the very politicians they brandish their fists against.

    There is no fight. The only thing left to do is build. Most hollow-heads here are led to believe there is something to fight for by the politicians. But if we step back for a minute and take stock of our country, we will find that ours is actually a relatively stable democracy. Sure there may be little cheating scandals here and there, but as a whole, our form of government is not under any serious threat from either the extreme right or the extreme left. And our society is not in any imminent danger of descent to anarchy.

    The only threats to stability are those moron politicians we pay to sit behind their desk and legislate and instead spend their time in the streets inciting this and that mass action. To be fair, equally moronic people follow suit.

    As Obi Wan Kenobi asked rhetorically:

    Who is more foolish, the fool, or the one who follows him?

    Lets not dance to the tune — that tiled old “laban” rhetoric — of trapos. There is no fight. There is only build.

    Salamat at hindi kayo nagalit sa akin. Kung paano itutuwid ni Benigno ang kanyang mga paglalahad sa paraang magiging katanggap-tanggap sa lahat ng naririto, siya lang ang makapagpapasiya nito. Kung hindi niya isasaalang-alang ang ating mga nabanggit, nasa kanya na rin ang pagpapasya.

    Hinggil sa kanyang mga nakapanlalait na puna, kaayon ninyo ako. Gayunpaman, hindi rin natin dapat palampasin ang ibang manunulat kapag nilalait nila ang Pinoy. Kung kinasuklaman natin ang ginawa ni Benigno, kasuklaman din natin ito kung gawin ito ni Juan, ni Pedro o ni Johnny. Kasuklaman natin ang gawain, hindi ang gumawa.

    Hindi rin ako sang-ayon sa hindi pagbabayad ng buwis. Higit na makatutulong marahil kung ipagpatuloy na lamang natin ang mahigpit na pagbabantay sa paggamit nito.

    I have two suggestions (which, may also be funny to some) to, at least, start the fervor of this fight for a better Philippines:

    – Require all Filipinos (7-year-olds and older) to memorize, understand and live up to the lyrics of “Lupang Hinirang” and the words of Preamble of the Philippine Constitution. (If I were Korina, I would ask my candidate guests to recite/sing a portion of “Lupang Hinirang”… no, itatanong ko na lang kung ano ang pamagat ng Pambansang Awit. Kapag “Bayang Magiliw” ang isinagot, hindi dapat iboto)

    – Modify the educational system to give more emphasis on Philippine History and Culture from the Filipino perspective (not from Uncle Sam’s)

    “There is no fight. The only thing left to do is build. Most hollow-heads here are led to believe there is something to fight for by the politicians. But if we step back for a minute and take stock of our country, we will find that ours is actually a relatively stable democracy. Sure there may be little cheating scandals here and there, but as a whole, our form of government is not under any serious threat from either the extreme right or the extreme left. And our society is not in any imminent danger of descent to anarchy.”

    Ah, but there are fights:

    -The fight for better governance; holding the leaders, opposition and administration alike, accountble for their actions. Unfortunately, issues get a bit blurred by the election season. Tell the people what their problems are and tell them who caused their problems- this is the way elections are won in general. If we can only see through this tried and tested formula, maybe we can also see that we deserve more from our leaders.

    -The fight for a common Philippine vision extending as far back as 1896 when we first commited ourselves to freedom from foreign domination, and as far ahead as achieving our collective pride as a nation and sustaining this achievement.

    I am very pleased with your use of the pronoun “our”. I’ll take it as your way of confirming that you are also a Filipino, as “most” of us here are.

  49. “Comelec ba kamo?…
    Hindi kaya…Come-collect na naman ang mangyari sa Mayo?

  51. The fight for good governance should be a good fight unless of course to some, believing that to build on the current CORRUPT governance is the way forward in order to become a “twin” to Australia, i.e., “the nation of petty criminals that has become rich and powerful.”

    Nabasa ko ang iyong pitak sa isang tabloid na Pilipino at labis akong nagulat sa mga sinulat mo. Dati kitang hinahangaan sa iyong paninindigan at patuloy pa rin kitang hinahangaan sa iyong husay sa panunulat. Subali’t gaya ng marami mong tagahanga ay nagbabago na din ang aking panlasa sa iyo. Kung may tinatawag na balimbing na pulitiko ay may mga balimbing ding manunulat at isa ka na doon. Hindi namin maisip at maintindihan kung bakit biglang nagbago ang iyong paninindigan. Napakalaki yata ang nagagawa ng larong golf ano? Sayang ka. Kung kailan ka na tumanda at malapit nang magpahinga saka mo ipinagpalit ang iyong paninindigan sa kaunting pakinabang.

    I agree: Matuto na sana ang mga pinoy voters this time at ng maputol na ang mga kabulastugan ni Ipdye Fartso!

    Their (the voters) biggest problem other than making an educated vote is Ipdye’s election cheating mechanism and I’m pretty sure that Ipdye Fartso and his equally disgusting wife have already installed the election cheating machineries in various parts of the archipelago.

    What is astounding is Ipdye Fartso and his equally disgusting wife are so creative, so tactically up to speed when it comes to cheating, lying and thieving.

    I have no qualms believing that these are the only REAL & TRUE qualifications they possess!

    If this disgusting husband-wife team will continue manning the country after the May elections, I’ll recommend to all “Harveys” to get out of Pinas quick!

    Ka Enchong,

    I agree with We-wiil-never-learn, that we as Filipinos know our problems and need not be “lectured” on. And have applied different solutions are still trying to find out the best solutions. Individually the Filipinos has exerted all efforts to better their lives. Sino ba naman ang ayaw umasenso. Kaya lang kahit anong kayod mo dito sa Pinas mukhang suntok sa buwan ang inasahang pag-asenso. Kaya halos lahat ng tao ay gustong lumabas ng bansa kahit mga ina na dapat ay nangangalaga ng mga anak at tahanan makatawid lang sa mga pangangailangan. The problem with Benign(o) is that he has not come up with valid and practical solutions to the problems. Di naman niya tunay na nararamdaman ang pinagdadaanan ng mga Pinoy dito sa Pinas. He is a fencesitter in Australia which is known for racial descrimination. Nahawa na siguro!

    Off topic…the Chief of the National Printing Office, Director Felipe Evardone, was recommended by the Anti-Graft Commission to vacate his position. However, he remains at his position.

    Interestingly, Director Evardone’s brother is Eastern Samar Governor Ben Evardone – the one who is currently the campaign manager of Team Arroyo & who has taken “over the media and logistics aspect of the campaign.”

    According to an informant, who came out on an exclusive interview w/ ABS-CBN, the recommendation by the Anti-Graft commission has been given to Malacañan for EDUARDO ERMITA to sign. It has been awhile already.

    Rep. Ben Evardone & his brother Dir. Felipe Evardone are in crucial positions. I guess they are ready to CHEAT !

    Benigno says: “But if we step back for a minute and take stock of our country, we will find that ours is actually a relatively stable democracy. Sure there may be little cheating scandals here and there,..”

    As you said there is cheating here and there. Is cheating in the election a DEMOCRATIC WAY?. The most basic of democracy is that a person can vote freely according to his conscience and that his vote will be accurately counted. And what stable democracy you are talking about? Almost all our institutions are not functioning the way they should be. And this is because of Gloria’s bulok governance! And legitimate and good governance is what Filipinos are fighting for!

  67. What democracy is this aborigin talking about in the Philippines daw? He hasn’t seen real democracy yet apparently! Magsuot ka nga lang ng T-shirt na may mukha na kandidato mo, huhulihin ka daw?

    We will never learn,

    I agree that Glue has to be ousted, but we have to look beyond that I think that was Benigno what was saying as well. From experience, we did the same thing to Erap before. He was demonized, ousted and there came the beneficiary of it all -Glueria. We are doing the same to her now, so it goes in circle, with no end in sight. The country needs lasting solutions and not a band-aid one which is that of ousting Glue.

    In my opinion, these politicians should tell the people what they intend to do to make a better Phil. I only know Trillanes has from his website. It is good to know, for instance, that he will look into ways by which the Commission On Audit can be more effective as a watchdog of the government. Other politicians should have specific objectives too, of what do they intend to achieve, not for themselves but for the country. If they do not have yet, i think they might need some advice from any of us here.

    It’s ironic, isn’t it? The most virulent and noisiest proponents of “laban” here — those morons who raise their fists in anger against this and that politician are probably those who are the most blind dancers to the tune of the very politicians they brandish their fists against.

    There is no fight. The only thing left to do is build. Most hollow-heads here are led to believe there is something to fight for by the politicians.

    benign 0, you think “there is nothing to fight for”? Are you joking or just plain stupid. You call our kababayans who are doing the struggle on the streets of Metro Manila, sacrificing their limbs, heads, sweat, blood and even their lives to show how disdainful this present regime of gloria macapagal-arroyo as MORONS?

    Hindi tayo dapat mapikon sa katotohanan! Kung susuriing mabuti, maraming katotohanan din ang sinasabi ni Benigno, dangan laman at mayabang ang dating niya at wala naman siyang practical na solusyon. Iniisip ko sa bawat problema, dapat ay may solusyon at duon sana ang focus ng mga gustong umunlad ang Pinas.

    Isang problema, halimbawa, ay nagagawang pangungurakot ng pera ng bayan ang mga nasa poder, katulad halimbawa ni Jocjoc Bolante na nakapagnakaw ng pera ng DA. Bakit nagawa niya iyon. For sure may mga regulasyon tungkol sa paghawak ng pera, bakit hindi iyon nasunod? Sino ang nagkamali at bakit nagkamali, at bakit walang nakabatid ng maaga, iyan dapat ang tingnan at palakasin ang sistema para hindi maulit, maalis man si Glueria. Tingnan natin ang puno, katawan at dulo ng problema, and along the way tapalan ang mga loopholes na yan. Hindi ako titser, pero hindi bat praktikal lang. Sa kahit anong sistema, dapat ay built in na ang check and balance, as much as possible.

    Hindi nga bat may mga imbestigasyon ang senado, in aid of legislation. In the case of Jocjoc, nagkaroon ng imbestigasyon, but what legislation was put in place as deterrent for a repeat of same. Ipaliwanag dapat iyan ng mga reelectionists.

    Actually, I think a politician who would subject himself to a water cannon in the streets of Manila is the biggest moron of all.

    Such a politician would, if he really wanted to, deliver greater value to our society doing what he does best behind his desk instead of “gasping for air” in front of a water cannon in the streets.

    D’Original Mr. “LABAN” himself, Ninoy Aquino, ended up dead on a NAIA tarmac. What good is he to us today? What do we have to show for after that sacrifice? What we find is a widow who led one street revolution to many and a bunso daughter who speaks with an annoying voice.

I hope this would now answer the other bloggers that have mocked and ridiculed the name I have chosen to blog in this forum, actually the only forum I really blog on. To those that connect my log-in name to the long-lasting footwear popular in our country, I hope you have watched that movie with the title of 300 which is now showing over there in Manila. And I am sure I am not the only spartan among us, cause I know when the right time comes that our lives are needed for the survival of the place we all came from that we call Homeland, Motherland, or simply the Philippines, many of us would be willing to sacrifice it without any compromise or hesitations.

    Yuko,
    Grabe iyan! Sino man iyang Celia o Virginia Suarez na iyan siguradong nasa hukay na ang isang paa niyan kung totoo ang laman ng blog.

    Spartan is a nice nick and it is a fitting one at that. It hints at bravery, steadfast, and unrelenting. Actually, the slipper connection may even be a positive one. Sabi nga sa flipflop commercial, “Sa Spartan, may tibay na maaasahan”.

    Keep it up.

    Mas gusto ko si Spartacus keysa kay Spartan.

  105. Grabe talaga, at nag-honeymoon pa yata sa Japan kundi sa Japanese Garden doon sa malapit sa amin sa Alameda, CA, USA.

    The place looks familiar. Parang sa Meiji Shrine sa Tokyo!!!

    spartan, i just imagined since i came across with his log-in name. the 0 coming after benign.

    matagal kong sinuri. matagal kong pinag-aralan pati ang kanyang mga posts. how he used “intelligent invectives” criticizing the common pinoys’ intellect. how he “forcefully” feed us with solutions that i think he hasn’t even experimented if applicable to our situation.

    alam ko matalino siya. sobra. nababasa naman. pero MANHID sa pagdurusa ng kapwa niya at mas pinapaboran ang mga sinungaling na nagmamaniobra sa ating gobyerno.

    Mang Rivera, hindi ba may tawag na “benign” tulad ng benign tumor. Kaya tawag niya sa sarili niya “benignO” kasi benign ang organ niya. Supot na may tulo pa.

  108. I would like to share this that I posted in a private exchange with my barkada:

    Over in Japan, despite the reputation of Japanese male tourists overseas, immorality is enough ground for disbarment and termination of jobs especially in public works and services as the officials and workers there are expected to be models of morality. Both men and women now are free to make choices as a matter of fact, but they have to abide by the rules and code of morality.

    When one wants to have an affair, he or she should be ready to take the risk of facing angry spouses who actually have two options, kill the husband or wife and take the risk of being sent to jail, or commit suicide with fellow adulterer. In less worse scenario, there is the divorce option, but it can be very expensive because the fellow adulterer can now be sued, too, and be held responsible for breaking up marriage.

    In short, if Fatso were Japanese, he could automatically be disbarred. He will be good subject for the morning, afternoon and evening talk shows to force him to step down together with the wife, who would be forced to take responsibility, too.

    It’s actually called “the burden of conscience” that the Tiyanak and IpDye do not possess!!! Kasi mga kapalmuks!

    TT, salamat, and Mrivera you’re a good analyst.

    artsee, actually the 0 in benign0 name is not the capital letter O, but it,s the numerical 0 as in zero, nil, nadah, or in our street lingo, bokya. Nuong una, akala ko din letra iyon, but after typing the letter O and number zero using the same font, it became obvious that it is indeed benign Zero, which was the character of Ben Kingsley in one suspense thriller movie of the same title.

  110. artsee artsee

    Para sa akin, letrang O pa rin. O as in organ. Ang organ niyang supot at may tulo.

  111. Sabi ng headline ng Tribune: “TU bets vow: No libel decriminalization” para daw iyong mga idemanda ni IpDye makaparusahan bilang mga kriminal. Wow, criminal act na pala ang sabihin mong baboy siya! How primitive!!!

  112. Meron pang isa from Ren:

    Interesting e-mail going around on Pidal’s financial scandal with a new twist… it now comes with sexual scandal too.

    They would have this drinking sessions with Respondent’s partners and cousins. Respondent would broadcast to them that petitioner was her “favorita” and would call GMA an “igorota”.
