Sorry for the late posting. I have been very busy shuttling between coverage and my medical check up.
Scenes from the May 23, 2007 rally in front of the Philippine International Convention Center where the Comelec is holding the canvassing of votes for the senatorial contest.
The rains fell as we started the rally but no one left. Some 3,000 made their voices heard condemning election cheating and demanding the resignation of Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos.
I went to the rally with Soleil. I met Skip there.
There were a lot of prominent personalities who joined the rally. Aside form those in the picture were Armida Siquion-Reyna and her movie director son, Carlitos with wife, Bibeth Orteza, Satur Ocampo, Teddy Casiño, Rene Saguisag, eye doctor Minguita Padilla, Sonia Roco, Nikki Coseteng, Jess Paredes of Kapatiran.

Ellen, can I use some of these pictures over at Tingog.com?
Thank you Ellen for keeping this blog active inspite your medical needs. We are encouraged and inspired to counter the shenanigans brought by these cheaters, liars, and thieves. Your blog is the rallying point to support the real heroes and the fervent wish we all have to get rid of these evil elements. Your blog isn’t just mere talk but we can also see your active involvement as a journalist.
Down with Abaloslos and the despicable couple!!!
Nick, by all means.
Abaloslos, Korek ang MAGDALO. Bilangin mo ng tama ang mga boto, otherwise ay lumayas ka, tsupi!
Matuto kang magbilang ha! Hindi iyong kung ano ang gustong bilang ni Blinkly Tianak ay iyon din ang bilang mo! Sagad na kami sa inyong mga kabulastugan, ALIS D’YAN!

Ang gaganda ng pictures, Ellen. Thanks.
Ellen,
I’m happy and liked what I saw in these pictures, the Nemenzos (basta nandiyan si Prof ay panalo pa tayo),Bien Lumbera (isa ko pang hinahangaan), Vergel Santos, Gil Portes, at sa lahat ng nakilahok sa rally against KOMOLEK cheating…MABUHAY KAYONG LAHAT!
Let’s do it everyday so that the dying regime of Gloria Pidal will finally see END. Kaya natin, kapit-bisig mga kapatid tungo sa isang bagong umaga na wala si Gloria!
Hoy, Abalos! Huwag kang magtarantado kung ayaw mong lusubin ka ng maraming Andres Bonifacio!

Trillanes warns of backlash if cheats don’t stop
BY ASHZEL HACHERO
GENUINE Opposition candidate Antonio Trillanes IV yesterday warned of a backlash against the Arroyo administration if it does nothing to stop cheating in the election.
“They can try to cheat. They can misunderstand the people’s will as they have done in the past but this time they are proven wrong and if they insist, they risk losing their power altogether,” he said.
He said he is confident of winning a slot in the Senate despite his precarious standing in the canvass.
Latest results of the National Movement for Free Election’s quick count showed Trillanes in 11th place with 7,367,629 votes. In the latest Comelec tally he is also in 11th place with 8,036,988.
He said their own survey showed him still winning even if the results in Maguindanao and Lanao del Norte, where there were reports of massive fraud, would be counted.

O, ayan at bistado si Abalolos na talagang nandadaya! Sige Ping, tuluyan na ninyo ang mga gagong ‘yan at isama ang supreme cheat Gloria!

Proof of ARMM fraud bared in video footage
2007/05/26
The Genuine Opposition yesterday put its money where its mouth is, as GO winning senatorial candidate Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson yesterday bared before the media incontrovertible proof of cheating actively engaged in by police and military elements, as well as the Commission on Elections (Comelec) officers through a dated and timed video footage taken from a cellphone, along with witnesses and affidavits all attesting to the poll fraud that occured in Lanao del Sur. http://www.tribune.net.ph
Thanks for sharing the pictures and all the information shown. Do take care of yourself. Incidentally, papaano nila mailaglag si Trillanes, ang laki ng difference niya to the 13th. Zero ba siya sa lahat ng bibilangin na votes? hindi naman mangyayari yon- kung totoo ang bilang at ang tunay na votes ang binabasa.
Ellen:
We’re planning a press conference and a rally in Japan to coincide with what people back home will plan to do in case Abalos insist on counting those fake CoCs, etc. that should have been considered null and void with all those teachers willing to stand witness against those abusers in areas where the Pandak has ordered votes to be tampered with.
Baka mapahiya si Pandak like when concerned Japanese citizens protested against her when she arrived in Tokyo, especially when the Japanese government is now willing to hear complaints re extrajudicial killings and squandering of public funds including ODA grants from Japan. Galit na galit si Pandak, but unlike in the Philippines, officials here do not and cannot ignore public outcry against these atrocities being committed against Filipinos with hired killers even paid with grants from Japan. That is why all that Pandak actually got are smiles and “Ah, so?” from people she talked with during her private visit here. this week.
Araw-arawin ang protests against the dirty elections being propagated by the Pandak through her appointees at the Comelec. Kailangan sa mga ungas na iyan, batuhin ng tae sa mga kababuyan nila. Ang kakapal ng mga mukha! Pwe! Bistadung-bistado na ang pandaraya, ang kapal pa rin ng mukha. Hindi ba nahihiya ang mga pamilya ng mga ungas na iyan?
Dito iyan, marami nang nakulong, at nag-suicide. PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Rose,
Bukod sa sinabi mo na ang layo ng boto niya sa 13th, mahirap na nilang mailaglag si Trillanes kasi ay gising na gising ang mga supporters nito at ng GO. And I think as Yuko said in a previous thread the eyes of foreign media are quite focused on him, too. Ang tingin ko, kung meron silang iniingatan na masita ay ang garapal na ilaglag nila si Trillanes dahil halatang masyado na kung ngayon nila pa ito isasagawa.
The latest proof of election fraud as gathered by the GO-Party List Task Force are sworn statements by no less than members of the Board of Inspectors detailing what happened in their precincts in Maguindanao. Let’s see kung sasabihin pa ni Abalos na pure “tsismis” lang yon. Panawagan lang sa GO leadership to look after the welfare of these courageous people who risked their lives on line in coming out with their testimonies.
In another development, Sen. Trillanes was asked to comment on Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez’s remarks describing him as too “immature” to be a senator and he said: “Look who’s talking. He should undergo psychological evaluation. Our justice secretary is psychologically unstable”. Abangan natin ang tapang nitong siRaulO laban sa tapang ni Sen. Trillanes.
Nabasa ko ang kolum ni Ms. Armida Siguion-Reyna sa Tribune at sinasabi nyang meron pang 4-5 milyong boto na hindi pa nabibilang (kabilang ang Manila, Davao at Cebu) at maari pang doktorin ng COMELEC.
Habang may eleksyon sa Lanao del Sur at ang mga mata natin ay nasa Sulu at Maguindanao, huwag nating alisin ang pagbabantay sa canvassing sa Maynila. Baka sa mga COC na hindi pa nabibilang tayo tirahin!
Re “Nabasa ko ang kolum ni Ms. Armida Siguion-Reyna sa Tribune at sinasabi nyang meron pang 4-5 milyong boto na hindi pa nabibilang (kabilang ang Manila, Davao at Cebu) at maari pang doktorin ng COMELEC.”
Nakupo! Labas si Trillanes at si Koko Pimentel kapang nagkataon…Pati si Honasan, labas iyan.
Pasok ang tangnang Mike Defensor, Zubiri at itong gago na si Ralph Recto.
I definitely am anti-Honasan but if he truly won those votes 8 million plus of them, then I shall respect the voice of the Filipino people. He must serve as member of the Senate.
Ellen, you say RAGE against Abalaos and his incompetent Comelec election cheating team (unity)? I say they should be burned alive for STEALING, abetting and aiding the current Malacanang leadership TO STEAL THE DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS of the Filipinos, the one and only right where they are in total equality with the rest of Filipino mankind.
What Ms. Siguion-Reyna wrote is this;
“Backtracking from his promised proclamation of “at least nine senators” today, Benjamin Abalos late Thursday night reasoned certificates of canvass that could yet possibly yield four to five million votes hadn’t been tabulated, specifically mentioning CoCs from Manila, the whole of Davao and Cebu.
The magic begins; witchcraft takes over.
Our heads still reeling from the blatant Comelec manipulation for the disqualified and unqualified Joselito Cayetano’s name on the official list of candidates, it’s all systems go for the eventual dislodging of the three lowest-scoring Genuine Opposition senators from the winning column, namely, (the qualified) Cayetano, Trillanes and Pimentel.
As of this writing, special elections are being held in 13 towns in Lanao del Sur, where 100,000 votes are at stake. The counting there will be honest for the Comelec and the administration to be able to stick tongues out at us, and say, belat. But it’s while all eyes are glued on that hotspot that the Comelec coven of warlocks and witches will weave wonders and use the much, much bigger uncounted four to five million votes and make kalabit, here and there, to push any three of Zubiri, Recto, Defensor and Pichay in.
In hindsight, we may realize the evildoers set up the 12-0 TU victory in Maguindanao for us suckers to discover and make pivot of our protest, the veritable wool over our eyes, to give them great room for large-scale babuyan never before seen by the civilized world, a template they’ll most likely use in the count of 2010.
It’s no joke, guys. You might still end up calling the vegetable senator: Itatanim siya ng Comelec sa Senado — kung papayag tayo”
Talaga nga naman!
“Sen. Trillanes was asked to comment on Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez’s remarks describing him as too “immature” to be a senator and he said: “Look who’s talking. He should undergo psychological evaluation. Our justice secretary is psychologically unstable”.
Hahahah! Kawawang Gunggong G kapag nakaupo na si Trillanes. Tama ka Xanadu. Kapag hindi umurong ang bayag niyang si SiraUlo kapag sinagupa siya ni Trillanes. Patikim pa lang ‘yan!
E ano naman si Gunggong kung “immature” si Trillanes? E di “demented” na sa tanda!
Kung na-zero ang GO sa Maguindanao, na-zero rin ang TUTA sa Navotas. The difference, according to reports, was that “reelected Mayor of Navotas, Tobias “Toby” Tiangco, said: “Navotas delivered. The opposition candidates won without resorting to cheating.”
Except of John Osmena, pasok lahat ang GO, the 2 others are the independent candidates.
Sangayon sa Manila Standard, dalawang congressman pa ang naging spokesman ng COMELEC justifying the deferment of the proclamation of the 9 leading senatorial candidates as earlier announced.
Votes from Mindanao provinces and other thickly populated areas could spell the big difference in the canvassing of poll results, and could possibly enable three other Team Unity candidates to enter the winners’ circle. Congressmen Antonio Cerilles and Douglas Cagas cited this as reason for the Commission on Elections to defer the proclamation of the winning senatorial bets. Comelec Commissioner Benjamin Abalos had good reason to defer the proclamation since the votes from these areas could alter the standings in the senatorial race. Kitam? May niluluto talaga. Magkakakutsaba talaga ang mga hinayupak!
Ellen,
Talagang Comelec people will try its best , its very best to insert other TU candidates! Tingnan mo, yung dalawang asong experto sa pagmamaneho ng mga kahibangan ni tianak ang piniling ipadala sa Lanao! Talagang garapalan na ang ginagawa ng pekeng administrasyong ito! Dapat na talagang maghanda ang mga tao dahil nakikinikinita kong may delubyong darating! Suicide na ang TU team spearheaded by Tianak with Abalos at her side! Sana GISING na ang ang mga mamamayang gustong lumabas ang katotohanan sa pagkakataong ito!
I’m still offering special prayers for all of you!
Obvious naman talaga na ginagago na nila ang mga tao. Ipinagtataka ko lang ay kung bakit puro hinagpis na lang ang naririnig at nababasa sa mga taga-oposisyon. Wala bang gustong tumayo at labanan ang mga buwakanginang nagdunong dunungan lalo na yang Abalos na yan. AbogaGO ba siya o AboTUTA? Siyempre AboTUTA siya.
Kayong mga TUTA kung ayaw sa inyo ang mga tao huwag niyo ng ipagpilit pa ang sarili niyo. Mag-evaporate na lang kayo. O kay GLORYA na lang kayo baka gawin pa kayong Secretary sa EK niya.
Buti na lang walang lumabas na RECTO … mayayabang kasi sila. Tira-tira lang naman ang asawa lalo na yang EX-Senator na yan. Puweeee walang yagbols …..
The upcoming especial election in Lanao will ensure the victory of 3 TU candidates Recto,Zubiri,Defensor or Pichay.That’s about 300,000 more thousand votes.Kaunti lang ang lamang nina Pimentel,Trillanes at Cayetano sa mga TU na dumidikit.Malamang laglag sila at pasok ang TU dahil bibigyan lang silang ng tig-100 votes,posible kasi bantay sarado ng mga military na loyal sa administration under kay Esperon,pinili ang mga sundalo na idinistinong magbantay,sila pa mismo ang gagawa ng gapangan sa gabi ng di nalalaman ng GO dahil hindi na sila papapasukin liban lang sa bilangan ng boto.Paninindigan na nila na Zero talaga ang GO para hindi sila mapagbintangan na dindaya nila ang botohan sa lugar na iyan.Ibabangon na nila ang reputation nila na dikta ng pinuno.99-100% ang buboto dyan dahil pipilitin na silang lahat na buboto.Ano ang gagawin ng GO? Iyan ang tanong na mahirap sagutin.Matatalo sila sa harapang legal na dayaan.Kaya mas maganda sana kung hindi nalang isama ang mga boto nila bilang parusa sa kanila na pandadaya,kaso ay hindi puede dahil may karapatan din silang bumoto.
Nakakalungkot ang mga pandarayang ginagawa ng administrasyon sa Mindanao. Masyado nilang pinagsasamantalahan at binababoy ang mga karapatan ng ating mga kapatid duon lalo na ang mga Muslim sa Mindano. Malimit din na ang mga local officials pa na mga Muslim din ang nagsasantala sa kanila. Nakakalungkot din sabihin na mga ‘Kristiyano’ na nakabase dito sa Maynila ang nag-e-exploit sa kanila. Sinasamantala ang kanilang abang kalagayan. Tama si Trillanes nang sabihin niya na hindi uunlad ang Mindanao habang si Gloria Demonyita ang nakaluklok sa ninakaw niyang pwesto. Oras na para bumangon at ipakita ng mga taga-MIndanao na may sarili silang mga pag-iisip at hindi nabibili at nadidiktahan!
TRILLANES APPEAL
Pinagkaguluhan ng mismong mga empleyado ng Makati RTC, karamihan ay mga babae, si detained Navy officer Lt. Sr. Gr. Antonio Trillanes IV sa pagdalo sa hearing kahapon. Patuloy na nakapaloob sa ‘magic 12’ ng senatorial canvassing ng Comelec si Trillanes na kandidato ng oposisyon. (AFP)
***
Natutuwa ako sa photo caption na ito ng Abante. GO Trillanes!
Cocoy: Sa 300,000 or more votes na sinsabi mo wala bang kahit isa ay boboto kay Trillanes, Pimentel or Cayetano? Wala bang magagawa ang Namfrel at tatangapin nila ang results na ganyan? Papayag ba ang mga Muslim ng ganyan? Wala ba silang panindigan sa kanilang sarili? Ang pag-akala ko sa kanila ay may moralidad sila based on the Koran? Ganoon ba ang leadership ng mga leaders sa kanilang lugar? Mga tanong na walang kasagutan sa Pilipinas.
ystakei: According to Malacanang- the trip to Japan was a success! At bilyon daw ang pasalubong ni GMA? The rage on Election cheating and all the rallies seems “inutil” pero kung mayroong rally dito sa East coast- sasali ako.
It’s true that there’s no peace in Mindanao Island as long as Gloria Arroyo is in power. Philippine bogus President Gloria Arroyo and her military generals want all-out war in Mindanao just to please U.S. George W. Bush and his global war on terrorism. U.S. continuous support is at stake. US Special Forces are hunting down Islamic radicals Abu Sayyaff and JI-Al Qaeda in Sulu archipelago. The military tag Zamboanga and Basilan are two of the southern areas that face the most terrorist threats from local and regional extremist groups. The U.S. military will send 1,400 troops and three warships to participate in an annual joint training exercise in the southern Philippines next week.

Are U.S. Special Operations Forces engaged in an ‘offensive war’ in the Philippines?
http://www.pcij.org/i-report/2007/us-troops.html
The whole world knows that US Special Ops Forces are engaged in offensive warfare in the Philippines.
Seems only Gloria and her cabinet are the only government people who are not in the know.
The US Special Ops Forces started building up plans concretely for deployment in Southern Philippines sometime between 1998 and 1999. By September of 2000, it was well known in Western defence circles that the 2 Boeings which landed one after the other in Cebu were carrying intel elements as well as hardware for the setting up of base operations work. More specifically, a tarmac was built in Cotbato precisely for small aircraft landing purposes. The tarmac was built by the CIA.
In June 2001, a US asst secretary of defence boasted to a group of colleagues in Europe during lunch that the US would be back in the Philippines WHEN Estrada is impeached.
One of the people at lunch asked, “You mean, IF he is impeached…”, said US DoD asst secretary smirked and said ” He WILL be impeached!”
By December of the same year, a few top European conglomerates that had initially set up joint ventures in the country started to pull out. By May of 2001, one of the world’s largest conglomerates that had invested in the country, closed down its office. Reason, when the Americans come in, there’s no real business possible for them in the country.
In other words, the US is still fiddling with the Philippines. Away from the prying eyes in the South, they engage in combat work.
As an example, in 2002, when one of the top honchos of Abu Sayyaff was captured (alive) by the Navy SWAG/Seals, the Philippine military was not alone in the endeavour. While a young Naval lieutenant (can’t remember his name) led the pack that captured the Abu Sayyaff leader, back up support, was provided by the American troops who were stationed there. American night vision goggles were loaned on the spot to the Navy attacking team while US troops were on stand by with heavy weaponry.
The Abu leader was finally brought in for questioning but died the next day apparently of heart attack.
None of these things reached the press.
The Abu leader was finally brought in for questioning but died the next day DIED (apparently) of heart attack.

This idiotic criminal calling herself as President of the Philippines should be embarrassed everywhere she goes. Talagang makapal ang mukha.
Mindanao is being sacrificed by this idiot for her ambitions. I actually never had witnessed so many Moslems in Manila when we were there, and you wonder why they are now scattered around the country, even little children being sold to slavery in northern Luzon.
A year or two ago, I translated interviews of these displaced Moslems because of what seems to be more an enforced insurgency to give credence to these foreign military operations there being tagged as exercise, something that even in Japan where the US has kept big military installations but are being reduced now and exercises limited to uninhabited islands, and no Japanese being made as guinea pigs for this kind of operation.
I thought it was inhuman and unfair to these Moslems to be driven out of their lands because of the ambition of one stupid, idiotic criminal. Yes, these Moslems are literally being driven out of their lands. Filipinos should drive out these Americans, and soon, even Australians from these rich lands in Mindanao, which when lost to these “invaders” will mean more famine and poverty that the idiot tries to burden other countries with by sending Filipino workers in countries where they are now even being refused entry.
Over here, the Americans are very careful not to offend any Japanese as a matter of rule. In fact, they have made videos for use of people being newly assigned here to make sure that they do not get hitched with the law, written and unwritten for we do have unwritten laws based on ancient customs, rules and regulations.
In the Philippines, you have an idiotic criminal for president, who would give up a convicted foreign criminal to his embassy for custody, which is a blatant disregard for the rule of law of her country in exchange for US patronage of her ambition and continuous reign even when in fact she should have been disqualified, arrested, prosecuted and convicted for breaking too many laws of the land.
Filipinos in fact should be told of these abuses. They should not wait a minute to bring these cases to court even when we know that majority of the judges there are corrupt and in cahoot with this criminal who gets bolder and bolder to ignore the rule of law each day she remains occupying the palace by the murky river illegally and illegitimately!
Please, mahabag kayo sa mga kapwa ninyo pilipino!
In Manila, the TUs cannot win, “for Manila has always proved to be for the opposition” according to a Barangay Captain that I have talked to. Everywhere, at home and abroad, the trend has been 9-1-2, 8-1-3 or 8-2-2 in favor of GO, and no matter what Abaloslos and his fellow vote-riggers do, the Filipinos have decided—YES TO GO, NO TO TU, and this means NO TO GLORIA MACAPAL ARROYO!
Indeed this election is a referendum on Gloria Macapal Arroyo a.k.a. Mrs. Pidal. I never actually call this idiotic criminal “president” because, for me, she isn’t.
She actually should have been sent to jail for grabbing the presidency in 2001 that she actually bragged about she got with the help of those military guys she called “her boyfriends,” and even by people who now join the rallies demanding for her removal, people who have actually helped her remove a duly elected president but she now persecutes and have eliminated.
In 2004, she made her appointees at the Comelec steal 1M votes from her rivals, particularly FPJ and Roco. In Japan, in fact, they succeeded in adding 300 votes unnnoticed that was the difference of the combined votes for FPJ and Roco in 2004. It was a case of simple arithmetic as a matter of fact that was never justified or explained to our satisfaction.
This time, we discovered that there was an attempt to slip in more or less 700 votes in favor of the TUtas, but we just had enough pollwatchers to make sure that no cheating would be done, causing even one embassy official to develop ulcers for something that he has been told to do against his will, good heart and sense of decency and morality. GO won with Filipino voters giving 8-1-3 and 9-1-2 votes in favor of GO in Tokyo and Osaka respectively.
We encourage everyone to conduct these democratic exercise of organizing protest rallies especially against these present activities of Comelec that should be abolished for proving to be a useless agency to keep elections in the Philippines clean. Mabuhay kayo!
Ang Laki namang KATANGAHAN ng KUMOLEK kung hindi nila alam na may malaking dayaan na nangyayari sa ating May 2007 eleksiyon. At ang nangyayari ay kumpirmasyon rin ng dayaan nuong 2004 Election orchestrated by ‘Garci’ kung saan ang tunay na nanalo ay si FPJ. The Abalos’ KUMOLEK (siguradong malaki pera ang nakolek)ay buking-na- buking. Hindi nila nagawa ang kanilang ‘MALINIS NA DAYAAN’. They have lost credibility and therefore should all be replaced. Sabi nga ni Mr. Rod Kapunan of The Daily Tribune: “an office that now stands as a WRECKER of our Democratic Institution.”
And all these happening proves that Gloria Macapal-(Pidal) Arroyo is NOT THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES!!!
Malinaw na dayaan talaga.According to Abalos they could not proclaim the 9 senatorial winners yet ‘coz there are still more than 2 million votes to be counted.Hindi talaga nila ipoproklama pa kasi si Cayetano ay nasa number 8.kung si Cayetano ay nalaglag sa number 10 ay ora mismo ay proclamation na.May balak pa atang ilalaglag sina Escudero,Legarda at Lacson dahil iyong more than 2 million votes ay ginagawan nila ng paraan na Zero talaga ang lahat ng GO.
Rose;
Pareho tayo ng tanong sa sarili: ano ang gagawin sa mga command vote ng Moslem?
Mahirap hanapan ng kasagutan iyan dahil ang history ng Mindanao ay nakatatak na sa kanila.Una nasa ilalim sila ng pamumuno ng Sultan,prinsesa at Datu kung ano ang dikta sa kanila ay iyon ang kanilang sinusunod.Ang halimbawa ay si Bin Laden at Saddam Hussien at mahirap baguhin ang kasaysayan.Noong panahon ni Marcos si Ali Dimaporo ang Apo-Apo nila at iyan ang ginaya ni Gloria dahil binasa nila ang librong sinulat ni Marcos.Natural ibigay ni Gloria ang hinihiling ng Sultan nila.Kaya delikado iyong tatlong GO na nasa hulihan kung mag-declare si Abalos ng failure of election at magkaroon ng panibagong especial election,lutong makaw na ang labas,dehado ang GO at llamado ang TU dahil malaking advantages ang mga boto ng Moslem.katulad na rin iyan ng Iglesia ni Kristo at El Shaddai na kung sino ang gusto ni Mike Villarde at Manalo iyon ang sinusunod ng mga followers nila kaya hindi ako pumasok sa mga religion na iyan dahil gusto kung magkaroon ng sarili kung gusto na iboboto.
Ako ay hindi naniniwala na may talagang ‘command vote’ diyan sa Mindanao o saan man. Maari pa ay ‘TAKUTAN VOTE’ or ‘PWERSAHAN VOTE’. Lalo na at may mga private army ang mga local officials. Hindi naman mangmang ang mga tao sa Mindanao eh. I believe they are helpless dahil nga sa mga local officials na ito na produkto rin ng dayaan tuwing eleksyon. Kailangan tulungan natin ang ating mga kababayan sa Mindanao na makakawala sa mga kuko ng mga Halimaw.
Sinabi mo pa, Luz. Sa Hong Kong, Trillanes won because of the El Shaddai, sabi ng isang kaibigan ko doon. But we all know that Mike Velarde did not even endorse Trillanes as he allegedly made a deal to promote the TU with the Pandak as bullied by a Pandak intruder in this blog. Kaya sinong may sabing may “Command Vote”? I don’t even believe that the INC can influence its members in exercising their right to vote. I have relatives in fact who are INC but they have voted for GO in this election.
When they do not want to follow their leader’s endorsement, they just don’t vote as what happened in 2004. Hindi sila bumoto! Alam naman nila ang rule on the separation of church and state. Malakas lang talaga ang guni-guni ng mga corrupt.
You bet, takutan lang talga. Doon lang nga sa probinsiya ni Pidal ang nagtataka ako sa mga tao. Nababayaran! Talo na naman si Jun Lozada kasi hindi corrupt ang mamang ito. Ang masaklap nga lang, ayaw din niyang manghingi sa mga OFW na tinulungan niyang magkaroon ng karapatan na bumoto kasi nga hindi siya kurakot. At saka, ayaw din niyang magsayang ng pera para suhulan ang mga taga Negros na iboto siya. Sayang kasi ang ipinaglalaban niyang karapatan nila. Bakit hindi iyan makita ng mga kababayan nilang ibinoboto pa iyong kapatid ni Pidal na walang alam kundi magmura ng tangina! Takot ba silang mabaril ng mga militar na bayaran ni Pidal? Iyan ang tanong!
Jun Lozada is not an operator, not a warrior; he’s an analyst and a diplomat. Pity… In a setting where you face the Pidals, you have no option but sometimes, to adopt the Rambo techniques, otherwise you get overrun.
Medyo “mahinhin” kasi si Jun Lozada.
Sinabi mo pa, Anna. Sayang talaga ang taong iyan who has served his country and countrymen well. Lamentably, ang daming corrupt na tao sa probinsiya nila! Nababayaran!
Blinky Tianak definitely knows where to get fake votes for her fave TUTAS! Sigurado na ng mag-usap sila ni Korekto ay pinangako niya sa asawa ni Vi na sa Lanao sila kukuha ng boto. Pwede rin namang magbitbit (kung hindi pa) uli ng bayong ng pera si Mr Vi para kay Abaloslos (o baka this time ay mismong kay Tianak na) para “ihabol” siya!
Hahaha! Si Vilma ang governor ng Batangas! What happened to the once proud and intelligent Batangenos?! (Oopps, na offtopic)
Chi, Ralph Recto was down to number 10, I think (I’m not sure of the exact ranking but down in the Magic 12)
in Batangas. Trillanes got more votes in Batangas than recto.
Batanguenos are still proud and intelligent.
Statement of Laban ng Masa headed by former UP President Francisco “Dodong” Nemenzo:
Sinungaling talaga si Pandak. Nang umalis siya papuntang Japan, sabi niya pasalubong daw niya sa mga pilipino 4B dollars in grants. Pero nang bumalik puro pangako lang ng mga private sectors dito in investments daw amounting to only 1B yen!!!
Japan is not ready to commit new ODA grants with complaints even coming from Japanese citizens alarmed by the extrajudicial killings in the Philippines. Kahit na anong pagtatakip ng butas ni Pandak, taas kilay lang ang mga opisyal na hapon sa mga kabulastugan niya kasi mas matimbang ang reports ng mga mismong opisyal namin who have gone to the Philippines to do their own research.
Ang daming fact-finding missions done by private and government officials on these killings as a matter of fact. Hindi lang nga napa-publish in full ang kanilang mga reports, complete with pictures and other evidences that they were all done by the AFP on order of the criminals running the Philippines like hell!
Akala niya naka-score siya ha? Manigas siya.
Tomorrow she’s off to go to Australia and New Zealand. Tignan natin kung anong kabulastugan na naman ang sasabihin niya. On the other hand, may naniniwala pa ba sa sinungaling na iyan?
Guess what? I got an unsolicited mail that I suspect is the new alias of the daughter. Sus ang papuri sa nanay niya! Tangi na, ang kapal din!
Anna and Mrivera,
Hindi kayo kasali sa mga Vilmanians ha. You 2 are brilliant guys. 🙂
Ellen,
Kung natalo ang anak ni tandang Ermita, at si Recto ay tinalo pa ni Trillanes sa Batangas, tunay ka na nandiyan pa rin ang mga hinahangaan kong Batangenos.
Hindi ko lang talagang maisip kung bakit si Vi ang nabotong governor diyan. Paging BOB, paki sagot nga dahil kilala mo si Vi.
chi,
kung sa pelikula, hanga ako kay vilma, pero sa prinsipyo bilang pulitiko, para sa akin ay basura rin siya tulad ng asawa niyang almoranas na siyang dahilan ng ating paghihirap bunga ng bill niyang e-bak!
anna,
i’ve been telling here the US badly needs the philippines because why they want to establish an OP in the southern part where it will be easy for them to monitor movements of their supposed aggressors planning to attack their installations. our country’s strategic position provides america its much needed boost in intercepting their enemies’ plans and they will do everything to win the nod of anyone who is heading any administration.
Magno,
Spot on analysis! The SOC (Sea Lanes of Communications) are down there. America needs a subservient territory/friend from which to operate. The Philippines serves the purpose hugely because all the other nations are not as subservient.
They need to access the Gulf with relative ease and speed and can be done only through the straits south of the Philippines.
Besides the monitoring aspects of the Islamic nations in that part of the region – essential, nay, vital for America to have a stronghold there.
Chi,
Whhhhhaaaat? Si Vilma na ang governor? Oh frigging shit! I will sell my property and immigrate. I will go to Lagawe.
Ellen,
This news item says it all, i.e., there will be changes in the Senatorial slots:
http://www.philstar.com/index.php?p=49&type=2&sec=24&aid=4758
There are more than 96,000 registered voters in Lanao del Sur but Abalos claimed he could not readily ascertain how it would affect the fate of the candidates tailing in the senatorial race.
According to Abalos, the certificates of canvass from the province would no longer be brought to Manila for the national canvassing but to Marawi City, in the presence of poll watchdogs and representatives of various political parties.
The National Movement for Free Elections (Namfrel), meanwhile, claimed their volunteers were prevented by armed men from entering the polling precincts in Lanao yesterday.
According to Namfrel secretary general Eric Alvia, several of their volunteers were prevented by armed men in fatigue uniforms from witnessing the special elections.
“We are still not sure whether the heavily armed men were government forces or members of private armies, but many of them were in fatigue uniforms,” Alvia said.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
Abalos is paving the way, softening the blow already… Damn pillock!
Oh yeah, Anna.
Si Ate Vi na ang Batangas governor! Sabi ng aking mga kaibigan doon ay bakkkkkkeeeeetttt?!
Sa inis, a friend of mine actually sold her pwesto sa palengke and bought a house in Pasay City for good. Babalik daw siya kung laos na si Kuya at Ate Vi!
Cocoy: Thanks for the info. Now I understand what “command votes” mean. Akala ko maraming na rin Moslems ang nakapag aral and with open mind on how to live in a society of peace and order. How to live in a civilized world. Hindi pala. Nakakalungkot.
anna:
sell off your property in Batangas, what’s gonna happen to your tiller-friends ? i hope you are not serious, but in case you are, maybe i can take those farmlots from you with the agreement that you can always have them back when Ate Vi finally makes her political exit. 🙂
but seriously now, am i mistaken, as many others do, in believing that Vilma Santos is the lesser-evil/better alternative to that of Armand Sanchez (believed by many as the operator behind the Batangas’ multi-million peso daily take on illegal jueteng)?
Rose—-I asked my Moslem friend named Nur ,whom every moslem called “Hajji” about the process of voting practice of muslim based on their religious ideologies and he gave me this answer;
In Moslem doctrine—voting in a way in giving a testimony in favor of the person or a party whom one is voting. To vote for a person that one know is not worthy will be unlawful and a major sin because it is a way of a false testimony. When the muslim is voting for a candidate, they are actually giving testimony on the fact that the person or a party is trustworthy in their beliefs. But, in the situation where there is no worthy candidates, the vote should be given to the one who is better and more trustworthy than the other person.If that’s the case why Chavit Singson who’s not trustworthy garnered the highest vote in Muslim command votes?
Muslims in Maguindanao are being herded by their leaders under the false pretext of benefits, a block muslim or a command votes is essential for their interest and that their survival is dependent how they vote. They vote for a person like Moses who promise to bring them in Promise Land. Only those who are in power are promoting these promises, convince and coax to cast their votes under the guise of benefit, The voting matter to them confused their understandings in a political matters, they vote disregarding the outcome as long as price tag is laying in front. But, when pork is consumed or when zina is committed, the muslims are quick to respond. However, when democracy is at stake or when are told to vote there approval is no confusion upon the order of Datu Kiram. These is the Malacanang stooges are boasting about,the command votes of Muslims in Mindanao.
Anna, I saw Lu Antonino and Darlene at the GO headquarters last Wednesday. But I didn’t have time to talk with them because I was rushing to meet with Soleil on our way to the PICC rally.
Nakakatuwa yung mga security guards talking while looking at Darlene (Lu arrived ahead) waiting for the elevator. One said, “Yan si darlene, ang nag-knockout kay pacquiao.””
Another said, “Ang liit lang pala, ano? 90 lbs lang yata. Samantalang si pacquiao, natumba si Solis.”
Nakakatuwa. Darlene was just smiling and smiling to everybody.
Hi Ellen,
Thanks for the news. Am I sooooo very glad that Darlene knocked out Pacquiao! That’s a double slap for the Pidals.
When things have settled down, i.e., election brou ha ha, I will ask my sis to send Darlene flowers on my behalf to Lu’s home in New Manila.
Zen2,
You’re right! I can’t do that because my bantay derives income from there and besides where will Cimmaron live (my carabao?)
I happened to talk to my bantay’s wife by phone a couple of weeks ago because her husband texted me saying that a couple had been eager to know if the owner (me) would like to sell and they’ve been pestering them for my contact numbers. The couple apparently is a Pinay with a Syrian husband and are planning to retire in Pinas. I told my bantays that I wasn’t selling and all enquiries had to be coursed to my sis and mom.
Tuwa ng mga bantay ko, kaya tama ka, I mustn’t sell. If the couple persists, to give the number of Camp Crame or Camp Aguinaldo – heheheh!
Chi,
Ano ba naman iyan? Bakit di na lang si Vilma mag-artista ng mag-artista sa pelikula. Bakit pinkikialaman pa niya ang pulitika?
Wala na bang ibang matinong tao sa bayan namin na kailangan ipamilit si Vilma, si Sanchez, si Leviste? Pati ba naman iyang tabatsoy na anak ni Ermita akala niya poke and tatay niyang si Edong ay iksikyutib sikritari, puwede na siyang mag tongressman?
Magno, balik ka na lang sa bayan….
