Ang garantiya ni Lim kay GMA

Desperada talaga itong si Gloria Arroyo.

Sinabihan lang siya ni Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim na hindi niya papayagan na magkagulo sa Manila na siyang magiging daan sa pagpatumba sa kanya bago ang 2010 ay tuwang-tuwa na siya.

Nangyari itong pag-uusap ni Lim at Arroyo noong isang araw sa inawgurasyon ng Sentro ng karunungan sa Tondo.

Bago kasi nito, nagpahayag ang Malacañang ng pagkabahala dahil papayagan na ni Lim ang rally sa Mendiola kapag Sabado at Linggo. Dati kasi hindi makalapit ang mga rallyista sa Mendiola sa takot ni Arroyo na lusubin siya.

Malapit ang Mendiola sa Malacañang at nangyari noong panahon ni Marcos at mga ilang buwan pa lamang nakaupo si Arroyo (May 1, 2001) na nakarating ang mga galit na estudyante at mamamayan sa gate ng Malacañang.

Tuwing red alert, ang Malacañang ngayon ay mukhang pier. Ang daming cargo trucks na nakabalandra sa paligid para pangharang sa kung sino man ang lulusob. Makikita mo diyan kung gaano ka-insecure itong nang-agaw ng pagka presidente.

Ayon sa report, sinabi raw ni Lim na siguraduhin niyang makakaabot ng 2010 si Arroyo. Siyempre tuwang-tuwa naman si trapolita.

Takot kasi siya na kapag lumabas ang Sandiganbayan ng desisyon na guilty si dating Pangulong Estrada ng plunder at dalhin sa kulungan ay mauulit ang nangyari noong May 1, 2001.

Duda ako na magkaroon ng People Power ulit kung guilty ang hatol kay Erap.

Hindi na uso ang people power ngayon. Kung hindi man bumebenta ang rally ngayon, hindi ibig sabihin noon gusto ng taumbayan si Arroyo. Ang resulta ng nakaraang eleksyon ay nagpapahiwatig na ayaw nila ang kung sino man na kadikit ni Arroyo. Kaya hindi makakasiguro si Arroyo kahit na sinabi ni Lim na hindi niya papayagfan sa Manila.

Hindi naman kailangan sa Manila mangyari ang pagpatalsik sa kanya. At hindi lang naman people power ang paraan.

Kiliti si Arroyo sa sinabi ni Lim na siguraduhin niyang makakaabot siya ng 2010.Ngunit makakasiguro ba tayo na bababa si Arroyo sa 2010?

Wala kong tiwala diyan. Sa dami ng kasalanan na ginawa ni Arroyo sa taumbayan (Hello Garci, Fertilizer scam, North Rail scam, ZTE scam, PCGG scam, Marcos wealth scam, pagkulong sa mga matitinong sundalo, etc.etc.) takot yan makasuhan at makulong kapag wala na siya sa kapangyarihan.

Kung papayagan natin siya manatili sa kapangyarihan ng tatlo pang taon, magpapatuloy ang kanilang kurakutan at pambabastos ng Saligang Batas. Hindi naman niyang maaring pahintuin ang kanyang mga ganid na mga kampon dahil yun ang nandaya at nangurakot para sa kanya.

Naghahanap lang yun ng oportunidad na maisahan na naman ang taumbayan.

  1. Ellen,

    I never believed these people’s power lalo na iyong US-backed 1986 “coup kuno.” Kundi pa inalis ng mga kano si Marcos, I doubt na nag-succeed sila. O di palpak!

    Ngayon ay baka natin makita ang tunay na “rebolusyon.” Huwag kasisiguro iyong pygmy kasi sabi nga kapag napupuno kinakalos.

    Kaya takot silang palabasin iyong mga kinulong nilang mga sundalo kasi baka matuluyan na ang coup. Galit na ang mga taumbayan sa totoo lang. Hinihintay na lang ng karamihan ang talagang mamumuno. Kaya takot silang pakawalan si Erap kasi pihadong makakahakot siya ng mga taong susugod kung sakali.

    Kaya ang panakot ni pygmy sa mga pilipino iyong mga kano. Pero busy ang mga kano ngayon dahil sa iba pa nilang mga guerra. Kaya sa totoo lang, chance na ng mga taumbayan na patalsikin na si pygmy ngayon din. Sana magkalakas sila ng loob. Kaya takot din silang palabasin si Trillanes para magsilbi sa bayan bilang isang senador na binoto ng 11M and more na pilipino.

    Trapolita.

    Iyan ang tunay na diskripsyon kay maligna(nt) gloria!

    Sang-ayon ako sa sinabi mo Ellen na hindi kapani-paniwala na basta bababa sa inagaw na trono ang maldita sa dami at laki ng kanyang mga kasalanan.

    Kaya ang tingin ko rin ay nakahanda na siya na kung sakaling maramdaman niya na kakalbuhin na siya talaga ng mga pinoy ay yari na ang deal kay Pimp Money Daddy Villar, who like her will do everything in his power to become president of the kawawang bansa.

    Ang kailangan natin ay patuloy na vigilance, huwag tayong magbigay ng kahit konting butas na masasamantala ng maligna(nt) gloria!

    Para sa akin, sipain na ngayon kahit sa anumang paraan ang bruhang ito sa Malacanang!

    Kilitingkiliti in her hallucination. How many islands are there in the Phil? 7,100 right? At sa Manila siya hindi ba?
    Our prayers can be answered in many ways- puede naman sa takot niya at sa despertion niya- ay mabangogot..Dapat ang dasal natin ay mapaalis siya.. Let us be united in our prayers and a miracle will happen…Sabi nga- “more things are wrought by prayers than this world dreams of..

  4. chi chi

    At totoo na hindi na uso ang people power. Pero huwag pakasisiguro ang trapolita na mananatili siya ng 3 taon pa kahit sinabi pa ni Fred Lim.

    Iba ang aksyon ng mga galit na pinoy kesa sa political rhetorics ni Lim!

  5. chi chi

    Rose,

    Di ba mga kelots lang ang binabangungot? Sana ay hindi na magising sa nightmare na siya ay walang tigil na kinikiliti ng 80M pinoy. Ang landi talaga ng bruha. Sinabi lang ni Fred na tinitiyak ang kanyang kaligtasan sa nalalabi pa niyang taon (kung siya ay aabot pa doon), ay todo kaalembongan na ang spin!

    Merong mga bumabalimbing na taga oposisyon, meron din naman na tapat na GO, as in Genuine talaga. Yong mga bumalimbing ang sabi oposisyon pa rin daw sila. Ang sagot ng mga tao ay ganiot: ibinoto namin kayo bilang tunay na GO, Genuine talaga kaya dapat ang pananagutan nila ay sa tao at hindi sa kung kanino or sa kung saang partido.Bukod doon nagpakilala sila ng kulay at ito ang mga tao na hindi na namin kailanman iboboto kasi ang gusto lang nila manalo sla—-pansariling interest! Sino ito? Escudero, Cayetano at Villar na rin. Isama mo na si pareng jinggoy.
    Ang tanging pagasa sa ngayon ng maraming mamamayan ay bagsakan si Gloria ng langit, gunawin ang malakanyang kasama si Gloria, bagsakan ng airplane ang bubong ng tinutulugan nya, malason, atakihin sa puso etc. etc.
    Wala tayo talagang maaasahan sa mga taong sariling interest lang ang pakay.
    Ito lang ang mga taong maaasahan ng pinoy: Lacson, Pimentel, Legarda, Aquino at Biazon siempre pa po isama na natin ang bagong halal na senador na si Trillanes. sila lamang sa palagay ko ang mga taong magliligtas sa bayan sa kamay ng demonyo sa malakanyang.
    Kala naming mga pinoy majority na ang oposisyon yon pala minority pa rin. Mga bwisit!!!

  7. Re: Ayon sa report, sinabi raw ni Lim na siguraduhin niyang makakaabot ng 2010 si Arroyo. Siyempre tuwang-tuwa naman si trapolita.

    If true, Lim should have simply shut his mouth.

  8. Huwag kasisiguro si pygmy. Puede siyang ma-stroke. Kaya ayokong si Villar ang maging Senate President kasi pihado iyan pag namatay si Gloria, ipapatanggal niyan si Kabayan.

    Hindi OK na presidente si Villar. Maski nga si Drillon ayoko sa totoo lang. Tignan mo naman ang Las Pinas, puro kamag-anak nilang mag-asawa ang nakaupo. Grabe din iyan, walang iniwan kay pygmy iyan.

    Reminds me of someone I know na na-stroke na ngayon ay 50-50 ang lagay. Kaya mahirap ang maging salbahe sa totoo lang. Itong ungas akala mo wala siyang kasalanan sa ginawa niyang kababuyan sa bansa niya.

  9. chi chi

    “Kala naming mga pinoy majority na ang oposisyon yon pala minority pa rin. Mga bwisit!!!”

    Sabi ni Adel Tamano ay wala na ang GO dahil ito ay vehicle lang noong eleksyon. Yes, vehicle ni Villar, Alan at Chiz para ihalal ng pinoy. Talagang bwisit!

    Akalain ba nating minority pa rin tayo dahil lang sa 3 itlog na ito!

  10. Yuko, Naman – huwag mo naman i-compare ang ating mga pygmy dito kay moral tiyanak dahil maski hubad hubad at walang sapatos ang ating mga pygmy (aetas), they are decent people something that Gloria the tiyanak can never, ever hope to replicate …

  11. chi chi

    With the kabalimbingan ng 3 itlog plus Jinggoy, I did fully realize that there’s really nothing much we can do to eliminate trapolita with the help of these political quatro cantos. Inaasahan natin na kasama natin sila pero nag-unahan na tayo ay takasan sa dusa!

    We should find another more aggressive avenue that will finally end the wanton rule of malignant gloria!

  12. chi chi

    Sa susunod, pwede bang tumahimik muna si Fred Lim!

  13. Chi,

    Ano ba naman iyang mga opposition kuno, walang prinsipyo! I accept that Gloria and her administration candidates are unprincipled and crass but why do the likes of Lim, Villar, Cayetano, Escudero and Jinggoy (!!!) can’t see beyond the tip of their noses, i.e., that if they want to survive and win the war against Gloria, they must stick to certain principles!

    So far, only Lacson and Trillanes seem not to be budging from time-honoured principles that what is wrong must be set right!

  14. Elvira Sahara Elvira Sahara

    You’re right Anna!
    “So far, only Lacson and Trillanes seem not to be budging from time-honoured principles that what is wrong must be set right”
    Only Lacson and Trillanes aren’t afraid to shout the true cleansing of this country by removing the animal PEST in Malakanyang first before we can talk of moving on!
    Yung tatlong itlog (Villar, Cayetano, Escudero), pisain na ‘yan habang maaga! Nakakalason ang mga ‘yan!

  15. acer acer

    Pag na prove na ni Trillanes ang pagka makabayan, pagmamahal at paninindigan niya. Tingin ko, walang pipigil sa pagiging popular niya. Lalo siyang mapapamahal sa mga pinoy. At kung mangyari yun. Better go for the presidency sa 2010. Trillanes for President. Pag nagkataon silat silang lahat. Mga gahaman na traditional politician. At pag naging President na siya, magtago na sila, its judgement time.
    Nothing is impossible kay Jesus, Trillanes for President!!!

  16. chi chi

    Anna,

    With these balimbingan and them opposition kuno playing footsie-footsie with gloria, I promise you that if ever Ping will give another try for the presidency, I’ll do my best to campaign for him. If I have to do it personally, I’ll do it this time! Galit na ako talaga e.

    But I still wish that we can get rid of that tianak in the soonest time possible!

  17. chi chi

    Acer,

    Hindi pwede ang age ni Trillanes for 2010 presidency. Pero kung pwede siya for VP, OK sa akin at least ay isahan na ang aking kampanya sa kanila ni Ping! E ano ba kung sabihin nila kung parehong military. Sila lang namang dalawa ang mukhang hindi aatras sa laban!

    Iyong 3 itlog at mga penoy ay walang yagbols. Isang tianak lang ay bugok kaagad ang labas nila! Kakahinayang si Alan at Chiz, ang babata pa ay wala nang paninindigan!

  18. chi chi

    Sibakin si Abalos sabi ng CBCP!

    Sus, si Gloria Pidal ang unahin! Ano ba naman itong CBCP? Hindi ba ninyo alam na kaya ganyan si Abalos ay dahil sa utos ng pinakamamahal ninyong si Gloria Pidal?!!!

    Maliit lang na isda iyang si Abalos. Si Gloria ang inyong tuluyan dahil alam naman ninyo na siya ang puno’t- dulo ng lahat ng DAYAAN! Hmmmmppp!!!

  19. Sa totoo lang, si Trillanes lang naman ang Opposition as in United Opposition. Si Senator Pimentel PDP-Laban na ang mga members are watak-watak din as in the case of Locsin who is identified with the pygmy’s (as in President Yuck Gloria Macapal Yuck!) group. Trillanes ran under United Opposition under the GO. Buti na lang! Pero kahit mag-isa siya, matapang!

    Nauso ang balimbingan ha. Nakakasuka! Galing talaga ng demonyo!

  20. chi chi

    Off topic.

    Ellen,

    Kakatuwa. Iyong blogsite address mo ay nasa front page (below Abante-tonite site address) sa Abante online.

    Matagal na siguro pero ngayon ko lang yata napansin. OK a, meaning Ellenville rules!

    It’s no big deal in Mayor Lim’s assurances. The City government and the Manila police are mandated to serve and protect residents from harm’s way whoever in power. Presidential Palace is located in San Miguel district. No big deal. Malacanang spin masters have manipulated Mayor Lim’s statement. It does not necessarily mean the residents of Manila support bogus President Gloria Arroyo. Manila electorate has totally trashed GMA surrogate boy Ali Atienza. Ay naku, estilo ninyo ay bulok!

    The current Presidential bug for 2010 election at the Senate is disgusting. Maneuvering, horse trading and greed in the fight for Senate presidency caused the disintegration of the opposition. Gloria Arroyo wants a safe haven and tamed Senate after stolen term expires. She desperately needs Villar at helm. Senate President Manny Villar is not a shoo-in in a crowed presidential derby. I think Sen. Lacson is the man to beat. He placed number 3 in the last fraudulent presidential election and garnered more votes than Villar in the senate race.

    Baog na itlog para kay Alan Cayetano. Bakit baog? Ang baog ay hindi puwedeng maging sisiw o penoy balut. Palagay ko pati yagballs niya ay naging baog dahil sa Villar virus-greed. Inutel inside.

  22. chi chi

    Baog pala, hindi bugok! Read ya, Ka Diego.

  23. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Noon nakarang eleksyon, ‘balut diplomacy’ ang political gimmick ni Alan Cayetano. Pero ngayon baog na betlog. Inutel inside.

  24. martina martina

    Akala ko ang mga bata bata pang sina Chiz at Cayetano ay mayroong mga idealismo, wala rin pala, makakapal din pala ang mga mukha nila. Matitikman nila ang natikman ni sotto sa susunod na election.

  25. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Naniniwala naman kayo kay Lim? Diba sabi niya na hindi niya mahindian ang pakiusap ni Erap para umupong sekretaryo dahil si Erap ay mabuting kaibigan, tapus ng ilang buwan nagmamadaling tumakbo papuntang EDSA para sumanib sa grupo ni Arroyo.

    Kung ganyan ang kaibigan, sa inyo na lang! Kung sabagay, mahilig sa aso si Lim…

  26. Martina,

    That was also my thought but it seems the malady, i.e., unprincipled thick faced politicking, balimbingan disease, traydoran, etc. is inherent in Pinoy politicos with only a few (but very few, so few it’s unbelievable) being spared from the contagious disgusting disease.

    I suggest we don’t wait for the next election – these people have to be dumped into the toilette and flushed into the sewers along with the no. 1 traydors, Gloria, Esperon, Villar, etc.

    Can’t tell you how utterly disgusted I am.

  27. chi chi

    Oo nga, Tongue. Merong history of abandonment iyang si Fred. Pawerde-werde rin!

  28. Ellen,

    I can only shake my head in utter disbelief.

    Is there any way of listing the names of those balimbings or of completing the list:

    Lim
    Villar
    Escudero
    Cayetano

    Sino pa?

  29. chi chi

    Si Jinggoy, isa pa.

  30. jojovelas2005 jojovelas2005

    Wrong statement from Lim. He should at least say We will keep peace and order in Manila…yun lang tapos!

    Did he said the same words to Erap when he was then the Sec. of DILG?Was he able to protect the President — NO..
    Not LIM can protect the Arroyos but only the Military or ESPERON. I think with his statement, naniniwala na siya na talagang si Arroyo ang nanalong presidente last 2004…baka naman natatakot si Lim na matulad kay Binay na ma-harass.

    Sayang may campaign pa naman siya na “bawal ang drug-pusher dito..ALIS DIYAN”…magawa kaya niya ito sa Malacanang ( he he he).

    We are just talking of 3 years before 2010. Kung sakaling si Villar ang Sen. Pres. at narining ang ating panalangin at mamayang gabi hindi na nagising ang reyna at permanente na siya natulog- tatlong taon lang si Villar at 2010 na. Interim lang siya..Si Estero (Escudero pala), Cayetano, at mga kasamahan ay mag away away (dog eats dog)manood na lang tayo ang mag antay ng 2010..the devils will be working with them at busy si Satanas sa kanila.. kaya lang bantayan natin ang dog fight..Kaunting pagtitis na lang- let us just be patient but vigilant. Antus anay. And we will be victorious- hindi Vic Toh Rious.

    Tongue,

    Yes, Don’t be under any illusion that Dirty Harry is a great man. His macho muchacho look fixed on his interlocutor ,have you seen that picture? Although it was depicted for censorship, the right hand of Trapolita is holding the third middle short leg of Lim, she gripped her fist so tight, portraying herself a hardcore malefactor, but Trapolita’s feeling seems her hands is in the shark tank. Dirty Harry just shook his head and literary rustle to Maldita’s ear, that she’s a bitch and a bastard.

    Harry might succumb to the most corrupt person alive whose stitch in disrespecting the will of the people is clearer than daylight, more whiter sa ikinula ni Inday.A damn foolish thing to do if Harry will surrender his gun. it is a pointless things and entirely hopeless, but definitely the kind of errand man would he undertake if he see no other way. Look at Gloria’s hand? Slowmo on dvd 3D.Di ba mahigpit ang pagkahawak sa dalawang sisiw na inakay sa pagitan ng hita.hehehehehe!

  35. Sino pa Chi? Gosh mga puta talaga! Pati ba naman itong si Lim, ngayon pang matanda na, ngayon pa naging puta pareho ni Gloria?

  36. chi chi

    Anna,

    Just read somewhere that Loren is ready to jump ship anyday kuno. I don’t believe it until it happens. Maraming tsismis kaya hintay lang ako sa balita ni Ellen.

    How many times will Fred Lim sell Erap kaya? Grabe ‘no? Palit-palit parang P$%@!

  37. I don’t think Lim sold out to GMA. I think he was just humoring Arroyo. Tsina-tsapter lang.

  38. Ellen, sana! But if ever, he should speak less because what comes out of his mouth might be construed as balimbingan. He should know how the spin masters of Gloria can be utterly smart when it comes to sinungalingan!

  39. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Hindi ko kelanman iginalang iyang si Lim. Natutuwa pa rin akong nasipa niya si Atienza sa pwesto pero kung ang sukatan ng pagiging tunay na Pilipino ay ang pagiging tapat mo sa iyong kaibigan, lalo sa mga taong nagtitiwala sa iyo, Intsik-na-Intsik siya! (Pasintabi po, Aling Arsenia)

    Hindi ko sinasabing ginagatasan nila noon ni Ruther Batuigas ang pinsan kong dating pinakamalaking “Bookie” ng karera sa Manila. Milyon pa ang toka tuwing eleksiyon.

    Hindi ko na rin sinasabing ang dating kabit niyang bold starlet ay pusher at gumagamit ng mga kotseng nakumpiska nila sa WPD at NBI.

    Lalong hindi ko sinasabing maraming malaking kriminal ang natepok nang tamaan ng bala sa gitna ng noo sa mga “shootout” dahil alam na ninyo iyon.

    Hindi ko rin sinasabing kunwa’y disente at ayaw kuno sa mga hostess kaya ginawa niyang isang malaking ice cream parlor ang buong Ermita samantalang maraming kasa ang hayagang nagbebenta ng babae sa Avenida, Ongpin, Quiapo, Remedios, Dewey, Leon Guinto, Paco, Tondo, U-belt, Sampaloc, etc. kung saan ang mga pulis niya mismo ang mga “patong” at ang mga “kliyente” at puros Intsik.

    Hindi ako magtataka kung tinalikuran na naman ni Lim ang mga nagtiwalang ibinoto siya para lamang mapalapit sa Reyna na umisnab sa kanya nung umakyat siya sa entablado nung EDSA Dos.

    Siyempre pa, umaagos yata ang kwarta ng taumbayan galing sa tumbong ng unano.

    Meron na akong template na nakalagay: “Gago ako, sipa na!” Pwede mo nang idikit sa likod mo at pipintahan ko ng pula.

  40. Valdemar Valdemar

    War doctrines have this to say, tell your enemies a little white lie.

  41. Tongue, what revelations you’ve got there! Goodness gracious… And because I ain’t that naive, I can very well believe that Lim ain’t really a saint. I’ve heard that he was somehow linked to some gambling and prostitution dens before (rumours courtesy of a good journalist friend of mine whom I happen to “trust” when it came to this sort of “rumours”.)

  42. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Anna, let me hold your hand and walk you back in time (naks!). When Lim was named NBI chief, he immediately made waves by calling to his office the known gambling lords: Pineda, Viceo, Maranan, Doña Amparing, one more Doña and about 7 others. This was prompted by unrelenting (daily) writeups by Batuigas in Tempo.

    What did he tell these guys? Since everyone denied their activities, he told them to cooperate with him so that they can help him stop “illegal” gambling. It wasn’t difficult for the financiers to understand what he meant, “cooperating” will make them legal.

    This is what Manolo Quezon is now saying, he IS the law.

  43. Tongue, sige, hold my hand and walk me back in time some more… (hihihi!) marami ka pa bang storya involving Lim?

  44. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    On second thought, these guarantees for Gloria to stay on until 2010 may actually be shared by some other hardhitting oppositionists. I dismissed it as a monkey wrench when Pablo Garcia first said it: that the opposition will prefer Gloria to stay on instead of kicking her out and having her replaced by De Castro who then becomes an incumbent candidate in 2010. It may be difficult, judging by their experience with Gloria, to defeat Kabayad Noli if he’s already a sitting president during elections.

    But any way I look at it, my conscience still dictates that whether today or even just one day before her term ends, she has to go.

  45. And know what? Speaking of walking back in time, am at this very minute watching The Sting on BBC1 starring the famous Redford and Newman duo.

    Villar may be recognized as a star for operating a despicable sting in the Senate – he may be considered as good as Newman or Redford in his own sting operation but nowhere, boy, nowhere could he physically be near – not remotely near – the beauty of those two actors!

  46. Re: “But any way I look at it, my conscience still dictates that whether today or even just one day before her term ends, she has to go.”

    I agree with you totally Tongue! She’s got to be dragged by the hair if need be.

  47. chi chi

    Hahah! Ang daming storya niyan na first hand. Wa ako alam niyan a!

    Anna, huwag kang bibitiw sa kamay ni Tongue para marami pa akong malaman tungkol kay Fred, heheh!

  48. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Re: ‘She’s got to be dragged by the hair if need be.”
    Those are the words, more or less, I actually first thought I should have ended my post: drag her out of her pit.

    Parang bumubunot ng bayawak sa lungga!
    ——
    BTW, The Sting is an all-time personal favorite. Must’ve seen it a hundred times, from betamax to DVD! Both movie and the theme, “The Entertainer” are classics!

    Villar’s stunt at the Senate is a classic as well. It will be remembered by all our future Senators, I’m sure.

  49. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    O, eto Chi, tanong ko, nakita mo na ba ang asawa ni Lim maging sa diyaryo o TV? Yung anak na babae, nakita mo na ba?

  50. Tongue, widower di ba si Lim?

  51. Anna, yes. Lim is a widower.

  52. Re the movie The Sting – the current scene re is that Ryan (I think that’s the name of the actor of the Jaws fame), the baddie, is queing up and about to bet Redford’s 2 grand… hehehe!

  53. Ellen,

    That’s what I thought. I recall that his wife died of cancer many years ago that’s why he can afford to keep a keen eye on the ‘ladies.’

  54. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Oh, you were talking about the wife. Heheh.

  55. chi chi

    Hindi pa, Tongue. Siya lang ang kita ko sa media. Meron bang anak si Fred? Nasaan?

    The only thing I know of Lim was that he won a sweepstakes!

  56. Kilala ng father ko si Lim as matter of fact because of his closeness with the former mayor of Manila, the incomparable Arsenio Lacson, na walang makakagayang mayor ng Manila.

    Nevertheless, I was hoping against hope that Lim has changed for the better in time even when I have heard likewise a lot of condemnable things about him.

    You bet, dapat tumahimik na lang siya kesa nagmumukha siyang isa pang balimbing! Nakakawalang-gana!

    Kaya talaga, ang pag-asa ng lang ng mga pilipino si Trillanes! Kung sino ang sasama sa kaniya sans personal ambition for 2010, iyon ang bigyan ng credit. The goal is to remove the criminal before 2010, this year if possible!!!

    Martina: batang bata pa nga si Escudero at Cayetano..at nakipaglaro na doon sa dwende sa palasyo oh ano ang nangyari madungis, marumi at mabaho na. They are now swimming in that murky river kasama ng mga baboy at aso. Just you wait chiz at Allan…there is before and beyond 2010. Si Trillanes kinukulong kasi ayaw makipaglaro..ang gusto niyang laro ay sipa.. and together with Biazon, Lacson, and the genuine opposition they will form a soccer team..they will not only kick but butt their head with gloria as the ball..btw do you know how to get a perfect score in bowling? Make GMA the queen pin..at lahat ng tapon mo ay strike..

    Anna, thank you, siya iyon, si Mang Juan. Alam ko hindi na siya senador. Ang ibig kong lamang sabihin, katulad ni Lim, wala akong narinig tungkol sa kanila nuon.

  65. Ellen,

    I’ve just read Quezon’s Inquirer article about Lim’s “sweet nothings” in http://www.Uniffors.com and I’m prepared to give Lim the benefit of the doubt.

    1) a man of that age (75 or something is it?), who’s been a devoted public servant as far as we know, logically doesn’t change political stripes at whim

    2) i can very well believe that Lim simply played to the Gloria da pootha gallery because da poootha invited herself to a manila occassion and because Lim is supposed to be of the old school, i.e., gallant and knightly (ahem), was forced to be gallant towards da poootha dwende

    Just the same, I do wish that Lim would curve or choose his words more wisely because he must remember that his reputation for being a crimebuster carries weight so that if he says, Gloria can stay till kingdom come or until 2010 that is, the public could very well interpret his words to mean that he’s jumped over the dwende’s fence.

    He should be more circumspect in his pronouncements where da poootha dwende is concerned.

  66. Anna,

    Hopefully, a deputy of Lim is reading this blog. He can learn from the bloggers here about what he or should not say so as not to be used for evil by the great poohtah at the palace by the murky river.

    martina says: “…….wala akong narinig tungkol sa kanila nuon.”

    ibig bang sabihin kahit sandaling panahon ay lihim na NAGING SILANG DALAWA?

    inakupo!

    he he heh!

    mali yata ang tsismis na nasagap ko sa may ermita ,ah.

  68. Mrivera Mrivera

    tsismis yata kay lim ‘yang pinag-uusapan ninyo.

    kusabagay, wala din akong alam diyan.

    pero meron akong nakakasama dito na dating sikyo sa piyer at naikukwento (palagi) ang tungkol sa kanyang dating trabaho ganu’n din ang mga karanasan niya tungkol dito sa malalaking tae sa PNP. hindi ko ito gaanong pinapansin at pinaniniwalaan sapagkat ang tingin at panilawa ko ay mararangal silang mga tao. pero para makasiguro at malaman ang totoo, magtanong kayo sa mga brokers sa piyer at itanong ang tungkol kina lim, maganto at iba pang naging heneral ng pulis kung saan sila nagsasagawa ng “deal” kapag meron silang “operasyon”, doon mismo sa loob ng piyer.

    wala silang gaanong alam na HINDI SILA PUMATONG at gumagawa ng katiwalian. isama na ‘yang sugal, droga at iba pang “malakas na pagkakitaan”!

  69. Mrivera Mrivera

    “…..sapagkat ang tingin at paniwala ko ay mararangal silang mga tao. ‘

    bulol na rin ako!

  70. chi chi

    Juan Flavier, buhay pa ba ‘yan? What is he doing right now?!

  71. chi chi

    Anna,

    I perfectly understand Lim’s action when with the poootha maligna, and I agree with you completely that he should make himself aware that today’s pinoys are sensitive to every word that political figures like himself, who claim to be with the opposition, utter in public.

    Mag-ingat sa susunod na salita sa publiko Fred, hindi kami natutulog!

  72. chi chi

    Whoa! Ang dami palang baho ng mga “mararangal” na ito!

    Sige AT4, pilitin nating baguhin ang negatibong kalakarang iyan sa ikasusulong ng pinoy!

  73. rose rose

    Hindi ba si Lim ang Unofficial Escort ni Cory noon? Pero hindi nadungisan ang pangalan ni Ninoy. Ito namang si reyna buhay pa ang esposo niya nagflirt na. Ninoy was not linked to anyone. Crush ko si Ninoy noong Grade 4 ako..I followed his stories..when he volunteered to go to Korea, and then when he interviewed Luis Taruc. Kahit na malayo ang Antique nakaabot ang balita–Manila Times, Chronicle
    (an uncle used to write Behind Page), Free Press, etc. sa gabi nga lang ang dating…Pero nakalimutan ko siya noong dumating si Raul Manglapus sa scenario..

  74. Rose,

    Nakikipaghalikan pa in public na akala mo talagang patay na patay sa kaniya ang balitang kabit! Remember iyong beso-beso daw? Gumigiri pa!

  75. rose rose

    yuko: hindi ba may kantang with words- “gumigiring parang tandang” old story na pala.

  76. Lim may be just ‘kidding the kid-in-gloria’…
    Knowing Lim and his role in the real EDSA people power revolution, let’s wait and see….

    kilig-to-da-bones ba? Nahihiya ako sa reaksyon ng gah-gah
    when I saw those photos! She’s cuddling like a love-struck schoolgirl! Goodness gracious! glue was practically swooning to the hilt! Tinalo pa si juday sa bungisngis! what a witch!

  77. Rose,

    “Gumigiring parang tandang!” You bet! In short, malandi! Iyan lang ang alam na gawin. Kawawang Pilipinas! Patalsikin Na, Now Na! Puede ba?

    Although I said that Ate Glue is the bond that keeps Gloria-phobes cohesive, even this characteristic is perfidious and unreliable. The opposition is breaking up and Ellenville-philes are irately sniping at the infidelity of their former idols. My math tells me that at the rate these icons are converted into bastards, there will be little left in the list to admire. On my part, I have run out of Gloria qualities to admire.

  79. Neonate,

    Nothing surprising… the fact that the ellenville citizens here are sniping at their “former idols” because they have shown they are not worthy of trust shows that Ellenville citizens are politically mature, sensible and are nowhere near brain stagnancy. It also shows that the citizens here are pro-active democrats, the only way to go if ever we aspire for change. One cannot sit idly to wait and follow where the wind blows; one must be alert no matter the circumstances to revolt and to punish the crooks.

    Admiration should only be cast to those who are deserving of the admiration. We must never stagnate, that would be tedious and boring in the extreme and I believe that is not the case here at Ellenville!

    Neonate:
    Where you’ve been hiding for a long time? About time you come out from your foxhole and change your pajama to a combat gear. Ellenville needed reinforcement, you might be the answer, we can all take turn firing salvo to the subject trying intently to sink the ship.

    Be the Captain on board , show the crew that they can experience the thrills of combat on the high seas with your resume on Naval Battle. I am glad that you positioned the ship horizontally and started the excitement of naval encounter. You maximize the effectiveness of your shot, one of the best strategies to go after the opponent. Captain, the line on communication function normally.

    I once attended a talk of NVM Gonzales author of the Bamboo Dancers. Ang Filipino daw ay gaya ng kawayan..they easily sway with the wind…sa isang lugar they cluster..a bamboo is used as “katig” sa bangka to balance the boat..it is also used as a post sa isang bahay..as flooring, etc. maraming uses ang kawayan… we here in Ellenville can do a lot…tulong-tulong tayo..bayanihan..
    Neonate: hindi ba mabilis ang kumpit na ginagamit ng smugglers kaysa sa navy boats? mostly made of bamboo ang kumpit..

  82. Me,I have never admired the unano. I saw her as a lunatic out to ruin her country, and I thought she should stop. When nobody would listen, I thought they would somehow someday know. That is why I feel at home here where I see a lot sharing my feelings and sentiments.

  83. Rose:

    That ‘pliant as a bamboo’ was first quoted from Osias, who won a writing contest before WWII. I first heard about it in grade school when we were talking of his composition on the Filipinos being pliant as the bamboo. What he did not say that the bamboo could break no matter how pliant by a strong and powerful wind, even uprooted if it is a tornado!

    Ah, NVM Gonzales. He was my instructor in English 101 when I was in first year at UP. He migrated to the US and lived near my sister’s.

  84. Sinong may sabing idol namin sina Escudero at Cayetano. Nope, on the contrary. We just thought we needed to support then when they tried to show that they were going to lick the unano out. Kind of “OK, subukan pa mo para mabalu” thing. Kaya madali naming sabihing, burado na sila sa listahan. Idolo namin si Trillanes and we’re glad he’s living up to it. Iyan ang karapatdapat na maging idolo.

  85. neonate neonate

    To preclude any further doubts on my position regarding Senator Trillanes, I now disclose the reason I did not vote for him – the Oakwood incident harmed the economy. Some friends planned to visit Cagayan de Oro together with prospective investors who were persuaded to assess potentials for investment in the city, The Oakwood incident spooked that plan, completely, as the foreigners stayed away. A single instance that was typical.

    So, why am I turning around and supporting this rascal as labeled by Arroyo and cohorts? In my opinion, there is a difference between Trillanes the Magdalo idealist and Trillanes the elected senator. The method used makes a world of difference. One is an attempt to make a change sans overt people support; the other resulted in an expression of the people’s sovereign will and power – the difference between revolution and election. I concede to the decision of the eleven million, and will oppose moves to frustrate their will. Roger?

    Rose, ‘roger’ is WWII jargon in voice radio comms using ‘walkie-talkie’ phones (20 times bulkier than cellphones). It is the phonetic equivalent of “R” meaning received. The phonetic alphabet was designed to counter the interference of static inherent in those early transponders. It is still used in today’s radio broadcasts but so severely corrupted that the meanings are anybody’s guess. You are partly correct about the moro kumpit which are made of wood and as fast as a lumbering Navy LST (WWII landing ship, tank ) but not the PC (patrol craft).

    Anna, preserve those photos of PN ships (Manila Bay Watch) that the public rarely sees published. Last I heard, the pride of the PN fleet was a frigate (poor man’s version of the Destroyer class) but I’ve lost track since Max Soliven passed away and so Jane’s Warcraft magazine is no longer published. Perhaps you can obtain a copy at your Euro perch.
    Cocoy, revisit the tailend of EllenBlog Malacanang slaps Trillanes wrist.

  86. Yuck, so nakikipagtigasan si Alan Cayetano ha! O sige nga ipakita nga niya ang tigas niya.

    Kung may pinanghahawakan siyang ebidensiya puede ba ilabas na niya. Kung kailangan niyan humingi ng assistance ng Intepol siguro naman makiki-cooperate sila. Tama na ang yabang! Ilabas na kung may ilalabas!

    Administration pala siya bakit doon siya sumiksik sa GO. Nangdenggoy pa! Pwe!

  87. Sinong may sabing kailangang marami ang mag-lead? Kahit isang tao, puedeng mag-lead basta marunong sumunod ang mga kasama. I have seen that in movements here. Kaunti ang magugulong nagdudunung-dunongan. Mas marami ang gustong sasabihan ng lang ng gagawin. Ang bilis ng trabaho. Sa Pilipinas, ang daming leader, walang follower—labas stagnant!!!

    E ano ngayon kung si Trillanes lang ang matira sa Opposition? Anong ginagawa ng 11M na bumoto sa kaniya? Puede ba tigilan na ang attempt to make them chicken out with all this BS na wala kayong magagawa! Voters have proven the unano and her spinmasters wrong. Tuloy-tuloy nang ipahiya silang lahat!

    ang paramihan ng bilang na sasama ay nauso lamang sa kurakot na pamamahala ni gloria. sumasama lamang sa kanya kapalit ng “grasya” ang mga kaalyado niyang mga timawa.

    pupusta ako, kapag wala na sa poder ang reynang anay na ‘yan, isa isang magbabaliktaran ang mga nabayaran niya at isa isang dudura sa kanyang mukha. subalit ang mga hunghang na ito ay hindi na dapat pang muling tanggapin at pagkatiwalaan sapagkat masahol pa sila sa mga parasitikong kapag nabundat na sa pagsipsip sa kinapitan ay maghahanap muli ng panibagong pakikinabangan!

  89. Pag hindi pa na-improve ang buhay ng mga sundalong pinoy, Magno, e dapat lang na mag-coup na sila, and this time, totohanan na, wala nang parang mga hoodlum at for publicity lang. Dapat silang tulungan ng mga taumbayan laban sa isang kriminal na akala mo tunay. Pwe!

  90. Re: “Pag hindi pa na-improve ang buhay ng mga sundalong pinoy, Magno, e dapat lang na mag-coup na sila, and this time, totohanan na, wala nang parang mga hoodlum at for publicity lang. ”

    Beware of what you wish for, it may come true.

    I dare say, a military solution, i.e., coup d’état, to the problems facing the leadership dilemma in the Philippines is not constructive today because most members of our military institution are themselves the first and the most serious cause of the problems in the country’s chain of command link; they are seriously tribal, are inept, incompetent, greedy, corrupt, dishonourable, cowardly and weak in the moral sense, are guided by a warped sense of idealism, etc.

    Those who don’t fall under those descriptions and so could lead a successful coup d’état are inside incarceration camps. Sadly, a soldier without the officer’s rank even if he may possess the attributes of an honest and ideal citizen/military leader does not have the material clout to effect a coup d’état.

    Given those considerations, I would not want, militaristic as I may be, for our military to attempt a coup d’etat after which they would find themselves in power. Military men, in theory, are martial elements who easily fall prey to fascism and are the least democratic when they are in power. There is no guarantee that once this current government is toppled, the military would give that power back to the civilian citizens of the nation.

    Neonate: Thanks. Before I left the PI my friends and I were invited to Jolo and we met Princess Tarhata. She was admirable. That was where I learned that the kumpit was fast. May I ask a question..Hindi ba may mga sundalo na ititrain noon (parang private army) when Sabah was a big issue. I had been to Corregidor before Sounds and Lights and we rode in a barge..walang upuan.the kind that you see with McArthur statue.. Corregidor is one island I love to visit.. and I do..brings back memories of long ago..not WWII though. I have been to Capas as well..and Olongapo base.. a PMAer friend took us. Ah yes..Fort Magsaysay..

    ellen,

    natatandaan mo pa ba ‘yung kinakalkal ni lim sa PCSO noong NBI director pa siya at biglang biglang tumama ng solo first prize sa sweepstake gayung hindi naman bumibili ng tiket kahit kailan?

    pagkatapos na maibigay ang premyo ay bigla ring tahimik ang taong ‘yan?
