7 of 10 believe GMA is corrupt

by Ashzel Hachero

Despite the much-touted anti-corruption campaign of government, 71 percent of Filipinos believe President Arroyo is enriching herself through corrupt practices, a survey of the Social Weather Stations showed.

Twenty-four percent said they do not think Arroyo was corrupt while 5 percent had no opinion, the survey conducted from July 18-20 with about 600 respondents from the Mega Manila area (National Capital Region and the nearby provinces of Bulacan, Cavite, Rizal and Laguna) also showed.

The survey, commissioned y the United Opposition, asked the respondents on their belief in the “involvement” of officials in corrupt practices.

Malacañang dismissed the survey results. Chief presidential legal counsel Sergio Apostol said these were expected.

“Hindi totoo iyan. Wala namang corruption nangyari sa gobyerno na naging kontrobersyal. Hindi kami naniniwala diyan. Sino ba ang nag-komisyon ? UNO? Kaya ganyan ang resulta. Negative talaga at hindi kapani-paniwala,” Apostol said.

The poll was part of the UNO’s continuing program to gauge public opinion. Last week, UNO also released results of the same survey which showed that former President Joseph Estrada continues to be a public figure trusted by the people.

Estrada got a trust rating of 64 percent and Mrs. Arroyo, 18 percent.

Of those who linked Arroyo to corrupt activities, 73 percent came from the socio-economic class ABC, the “upper and middle class” which forms the President’s base of support, 69 percent from Class D and 73 percent from Class E.

Presidential spouse Jose Miguel Arroyo fared worse as 77 percent of the respondents said they believed he was involved in corrupt practices while only 19 percent believed otherwise. Four percent said they had no opinion.

Mr. Arroyo has been linked to numerous scandals including the controversial “Jose Pidal” account and the “jueteng” payola issue.

Estrada got better results on the corruption perception category despite the plunder and perjury charges the Arroyo government filed against him for allegedly receiving kickbacks from excise tobacco taxes. The Sandiganbayan is expected to issue a verdict before Sept. 15.

According to the survey, 66 percent of those polled do not believe Estrada enriched himself through corrupt practices while he was president.

Thirty one percent believed he was corrupt while 3 percent had no opinion.

Of those who said Estrada was not corrupt, 65 percent came from the National Capital Region while 68 percent came from the four provinces.

The respondents were also asked about their opinion on the person’s “degree of corruption.”

Seventy-eight 78 percent said they consider the President “very” or “somewhat corrupt” while 18 percent said she was “probably” or definitely not” corrupt.

On Mr. Arroyo, 81 percent rated him “very” or “somewhat corrupt” with only 13 percent saying he was either “probably” or definitely not corrupt.”

A bulk of the respondents, or 76 percent, in the upper and middle classes agreed that corruption increased under the Arroyo administration, 71 percent in Class D and 73 percent in Class E.

Eleven percent of the classes ABC disagreed with the statement while a similar number were undecided.

United Opposition (UNO) and Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay said the survey results only show that despite the cases Estrada is facing and the administration’s efforts to link him to “destabilization” attempts, the people trust the former president.

He added that even Mrs. Arroyo’s traditional base of support, the upper and middle classes, have the same sentiment as that of the masses in the corruption perception category.

Binay said no amount of propaganda and “praise releases” by the Arroyo administration would erase the string of scandals such as the P728 million fertilizer scam, the “Hello Garci” recordings, the NAIA Terminal 3 contract, the multi-billion peso botched computerization project of the Commission on Election, and the $329-million broadband controversy entered into by the Department of Transportation and Communication with a Chinese firm.

Apostol said it was a pity that Mr. Arroyo continues to be dragged into the corruption issue when he has not been involved in any government transaction.

“Hindi naman siya nakikialam, wala rin naman siyang kinasangkutan na anomalya ngayon. Walang transaksyon,” he said.

Apostol asked why Estrada got a 31 percent rating on perceived corrupt practices. He said Estrada should have gotten a lower rating because he been in detention for the past six years.

Cabinet secretary Ricardo Saludo said “the survey question speaks volumes about the one-track platform of the government.” – With Jocelyn Montemayor

  1. What can one expect from a cheater, liar, and thief? This woman with perverse values is the epitome of a BAD model. It’s past time to remove her!

  2. we-will-never-learn we-will-never-learn

    Schizoglo is past her sell-by-date and one of her advisers need to have the balls to tell her so. If she wont stand down, and she’s so hard headed that she wont, then its time to throw her into the trash can where she belongs.
    The latest survey indicates that all sections of society have had enough of her Lies, Cheating, Corruption and Extra – Judicial Killings and it could be that society are so frustrated that they could well eject her ass bodily from her throne – and not before time!

    Kaya nga siya nagmamaka-awa doon sa 1 million na boto niya para siya manalo. Kahit anong gawin niya kulelat talaga siya. Corrupt talaga ang mga Arroyo … kita niyo na lang ilang taon pa lang Milyon-milyon na ang pera ng anak niya yong bayaw niya. Bakit magkano ba ang suweldo ng isang Congressman? Bakit hindi sila ang i-audit bakit yong mga maliliit lang na isda ang hinuhuli. Kapal talaga ang mukha nila. Ikinulong nila yong totoong Presidente at inakusahan na kung ano-ano tapos sila naman ang gumagawa. Bakit hindi nila i-audit si Chavit ano ba ang natapos niya at magkano din ba ang suweldo ng isang Gobernador? Si Erap maliit pa ako sikat na at alam kung malaki ang kinita niya sa pag-aartista …. pero tong mga taong ito ano ba ang mga natapos at naging trabaho nila … para magiging isang milyonaryo o bilyonaryo na agad.

  4. Talagang gunggong itong putragis na Apostol na ito!

    “Chief presidential legal counsel Sergio Apostol said these were expected.

    “Hindi totoo iyan. Wala namang corruption nangyari sa gobyerno na naging kontrobersyal.”

    Where was this Apostol worm holed up when all those scandals, Joc-Joc, bridges to nowhere, Jose Pidal, German bank accounts, jueteng payola, etc., etc., were happening?

    In the anus of his mistress Gloria? Gago!

  5. goldenlion goldenlion

    Siyempre guilty, e di iisnabin kunwari ang resulta. Kasi kung magre-react, lalong mahahalata. Kahit pa gaanong pagtatahimik ang gawin ni gloria ganun naman kalakas ang pakiramdam ng bayan…..she is a corrupt, a liar, a cheater…and a thief!!!

  6. we-will-never-learn we-will-never-learn

    Anna:
    Your last comment “Where was this Apostol worm holed up, the anus of his mistress Gloria?” gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘wetness’ – smile.

  7. rose rose

    7 out of 10 said that she is not corrupt?..yong unang tinanong seguro na sampo ay doon sa Aviles..at kasama doon ang tatlong anak..kaya 7 out of 10.

  8. WWNL,

    And this Apostol says he is a lawyer? Listen to this reasoning of his:

    “Wala namang corruption nangyari sa gobyerno na naging kontrobersyal.”

    He’s virtually admitted that there are corruptions in govt but they are unheard of because they are not controversial!!!!

    This guy is the lowest life form there is in Gloria’s anus!

  9. Bakit may tatlo pang naniniwalang hindi corrupt si unano? Unbelievable!

  10. chi chi

    “Hindi naman siya nakikialam, wala rin naman siyang kinasangkutan na anomalya ngayon. Walang transaksyon,” sabi ni Apostol.

    ***

    Bobo! Nahuli ang isda sa sariling bibig.

    So, kung may mga on-going transaksyones ay kasama si Gloria! Nandiyan pa ang ZTE although I believe Gloria already got hers!

    Darating pa ang US military aid, baka naka-advance na rin ang parte ni Gloria!

  11. chi chi

    Yuko,

    Baka may nagsumbong sa EK na merong survey at 3 tao ang kanilang nabili.

  12. chi chi

    With an adviser like Apostol, Gloria doesn’t need destabilizers!

  13. Apostol: “Hindi naman siya nakikialam, wala rin naman siyang kinasangkutan na anomalya ngayon. Walang transaksyon.”

    *****

    Note iyong sinabi niyang “wala ngayon,” implying meron dati!!! Huling-huli.

    Apostol is forgetting that the Maguindanao cheating that can be traced back to Malacanang is still pending investigation.

    Apparently, his main function as Chief presidential legal counsel is to try to clear the name of the unano and her husband, et al of anomalies they are involved in. Inutil!

    Ms.ellen,

    Good morning po sa lahat! Nakasingit lang po ako..as in nakiraan..salamat nga po pala, nabasa ko yung mga “posts” nyo..di ko na iisa-isahin pa basta salamat na lang po!

    Off topic po pasensiya na…nahacked po pala ang site nyo, di tuloy ko maipasok yung pictures..ms.ellen pinuntahan ko yung place nung 2 unang kumuha, wala na dun, ayaw na magsalita mga tao kasi natatakot sila ayaw masama sa pag-iinitan ng gobyerno, gustuhin man magsalita. Pero yung kay kumander kiddie eh may link yung si Omar Opik Lasal , kung natatandaan mo siya yung kasama nakatakas ni Fathur Rahman Al Ghozi.Di ba pinatay din si Al Ghozi at yung si Edris.Nung pinatakas sila dun sila nagpunta kay Kumander Kiddie. Pero sinasabi ni Omar Opik na pumasok siya sa Witness protection program at isa na siyang military intelligence asset pagkatapos niyang mahuli noong 2003 at tumatanggap ng 6,000. mula sa doj. Pero nung March this year hinuli siya ng mga pulis sa Isabela City at turnover sa Marines at binigay naman kina Col.Bacerna Zamboanga City ng Marines dahil may warrant of arrest na naka-issue sa kanya. Si Omar Opik ay nang pagkakataon na yun ay isa sa “bodyguard” ni Wahab at nagalit siya sa mga pulis at marine dahil ibinigay si Omar sa zamboanga at di pinakinggan ni Bacerna ang pakikialam niya kahit pa pinaboran ni Fiscal Cabaron na di dapat hulihin ulit si Omar dahil nga sa ito ay “asset” na ng militar.Noong ni recaptured siya sa Zamboanga del Sur, may patong siyang reward na 4M pesos/$72,700 kanino napunta yung kung “asset” siya bakit may reward siya? O ginawa lang nilang pera yun at pinawalan din siya, dahil kelan lang naman siya ulit pinag-isipang hulihin nung Marso lang kasalukuyan at alam kung saan siya kukunin? dahil after nung nirecaptured siya sa Zamboanga del Sur ay dun na siya ulit kay Wahab bilang isa sa mga “bodyguard”.

    Tanong lang namin bakit halos lahat ng nakakatakas o pinapatakas na nakakulong na mga “abu” ay tauhan ni Wahab Akbar. Patunay ba ‘yun na pag may gustong ipagawa ang “gobyerno” ay si “Wahab” ang tinatatawagan para siya ang kumuha ng “tao” para mag-execute ng ipinapagawa ng gobyerno?

    Isa pa Ms. Ellen, kung ang mga tao dun ang tatanungin mo pero takot lang silang magsalita, totoong tao niya ang kasama sa mga “namugot” ng ulo..Tanong lang namin papano makukumbinsi ang buong mundo na kung may “terorista” sa amin ay siya ang nangunguna?

    Alam mo ba kung gaano kadami ang gamit nilang M203? At papano siya makakakuha ng ganung kalalakas na sandata kung wala siyang pera? Saan niya kinuha? Nawawalan ng loob ang mga tao dun dahil alam nila na walang patutunguhan anumang investigation dahil nakita nila kung papano pinaboran ni GMA ang mga “akbar” nung pumunta siya dun. Si Mayor Karam ay isa sa lehitimong malapit kay Akbar at siya ang tumulong sa MILF at mga ibang tauhan nilang abu?

    Magulo Ms Ellen di ba? Papano si Omar naging tauhan niya kung si Omar ay nandun kay Kumander Kiddie sa Lanao del Norte? Isa lang ang punto na karamihan ng lumalabas na gumagawa ng “panggugulo” ay tauhan ni Wahab Akbar!
    Iniiba na naman nila ang takbo at sinasabi kasama ang Basilan, Sulu at Tawi-Tawi sa mabibiyayaan sa IMT na laging kinukunsulta ng Malaysia, ano ba ang “hidden agenda” ng government at MILF? Malaki ang pananagutan ng MILF sa pangyayari sa Basilan, di lang ang “abu” MILF ang ginamit ng gobyerno..si Wahab naman ay ang “Abu”! Puro sarili nilang interest! Dapat sila managot sa taong bayan!

    Balik na po ako, akala ko makapaglagay ako ng pictures di pala. Ms. Ellen, wala pong signal dun sa amin…may binili lang ako dito sa Jolo kaya nakisingit ako! Ngayon asan yung nakatakas nung pinawalan si Father Bossi..maghintay na lang tayo at abangan kung saan naman sila gagamitin ng gobyerno at ka-alyado ng gobyerno.

    Sige po..alis na ako…gang sa muli kong pagdaan dito! Ms. Ellen walang signal sa amin…! Email na lang po kayo pag may tanong kayo para pagdaan ko ulit masagot ko!

    Sa dami ng anomalous na transaksiones ng tiyanak at ang maga alipores niya, magsama sama na ang Ombudsman, house of representathieves at senatong, hindi pa rin matatapos ang mga kasong kinasasangkutan nila. Mabuti na lang nabubuking kaagad ang mga ito at may panahon pa para magawan ng remedyo. Huwag lang mabibili ang karamihan ng senadores at mga miembro ng house of the representatives, may pagasa pang maisiwalat ang mga pandaraya, pagsisinungaling, pagnanakaw at pagpapatay ng mga gustong ipaligpit ng gobiernong ito!

    Panahon na para gumising yung tatlo sa isang daang Pilipino na bulag pa rin hanggang ngayon. Panahon na para alisin itong tiyanak na ito na sanhi ng lahat ng klase ng katiwalian!

    Anniversary nga pala ng MNLF peaceagreement nung Sept.2, 2007, kahit ginugulo ng MIT/govt/MILF, at di po ang Malaysia ang dapat makialam na alam naman naming lahat na gusto kunin ang Sabah na part ng pag-aari ng Sultanate of Sulu at isa rin sa nagpapagulo sa situation dun kaiba sa mga inilalathala! Sabi ng gobyerno natin sa Indonesia hulihin ang mga TNT pinoy na nandun..at ganun din daw ang gagawin ng gobyerno dito sa mga Indonesian na di legal dito, gustong diktahan ang Indonesia para sumunod sa gusto…dapat pauwiin na rin si Col. Undog at isa siya sa nagpapagulo ng situation sa Sulu, Basilan at Tawi-tawi ang harapan niyang pakikialam sa paghuli ng mga Indonesian terrorist para sa malaking reward! utak namin iisa pa rin ang pinapaniwalaan dun OIC post ko lang yung greetings ng OIC-Secretary General…
    Press Release

    OIC Secretary General calls for more efforts to enhance peace and stability on the Occasion of the 11th anniversary of peace agreement in Philippines

    On the Occasion of the 11th anniversary of signing peace agreement between the Government of the Philippines and Moro National Liberation Front, the OIC Secretary General Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu praised the vision of the leadership who signed the peace agreement on September 2, 1996 towards a lasting peace and security in the region and called for revitalizing the efforts for peace, democracy and prosperous future in the Mindanao region. He said that, it has been eleven years that both parties signed the final agreement on the implementation of the 1976 TripoIi Agreement but, progress has not met the high expectations.

    He added that, OIC General Secretariat, Government of the Philippines, Moro National Liberation Front and Indonesia of the current chair of the Ministerial Committee of the 8 of the OIC should work together to find a way to remove the impediments that hinders the full implementation of the agreement, towards achieving peace, and stability in Mindanao and to extend more assistance to address the underdevelopment and humanitarian issues in the region. The Secretary General also urged all parties to exert their outmost effort to convene the Tripartite meeting and preserve the gains achieved since the signing of that agreement.

    I just read Maceda:

    If GMA keeps quiet despite all the blazing headlines, then it would not be unfair to conclude that she was in on it from the beginning. Seventy-million dollars or roughly P3.5 billion is a lot of money to be shared!

    Abalos was quoted as saying, “Pagbigyan niyo na ako. This is my last hurrah.” In the AFP, that’s called pabaon.

    Overpricing. Former Parañaque City Mayor Joey Marquez was convicted by the Sandiganbayan for overpricing 100,000 pieces of walis tingting.

    How about the overpricing of school bags by 300 percent in Caloocan City? The overpricing of decorative street lamps and street signs in Manila by 100 percent? The overpricing of decorative street lamps in Cebu by 3,000 percent? Overpricing of handcuffs and uniforms in the PNP? Overpricing of T-shirts and mortar shells by the AFP? The overpricing of rice and corn imports? Overpricing in the construction of municipal buildings and city halls all over the country? Even urinals in Metro Manila.

    We are an overpricing society. We are an overpadding government. Voters’ list are padded, election results are padded, even growth figures are overstated. What a mess!

    Manong Ernie, I suggest you say it directly to Apostol’s ears. I’ll lend you my megaphone.

    Bakit hindi nagyayabang si Gloria ngayon sa kanyang achievement na pang-50?! Ah, bisi palang mangurakot at pakikipag-away sa phantom enemies niya. At saka pang-50, wala siyang binatbat talaga!

    Ang akala ko dahil sa Ramadan may cease fire. Wala pala.. I understand the Catholic church through the bishops asked for the gov’t to respect this period of prayer..but they won’t. Anong claseng catholic leader. Kung si Cardinal Rosales o si Bishop Villegas ang magsabi..pakingan kaya sila ni GMA and she will order for a cease fire. I wonder..

    Sa kabila ng bagsak sa rating at survey ni Gloria, alam niyo ba ang iisang sagot niya? “Eh ano, pangulo pa rin ako…hindi lang hanggang 2010 at baka mas matagal pa. Belat!” That’s the sad part of it. We can call her all the names and hate her to the bone; but the reality is she’s still in power. Kaya iisa lang ang paraan: Patalsikan na ngayon…hindi bukas o sa isang taon. Ngayon na!

  34. Magno,

    Dapat inglisin na lang niya kung hindi siya fluent sa tagalog after all, it’s understandable that speaking mishaps arise when a person is not fluent in a dialect. But because this man is all that is intellectually corrupt (and I’m being charitable here), there is no way he can straighten out his thoughts not even if he speaks and make the pronouncements he’s just made in his own dialect.

    Pero sa palagay ko, hindi ang absence ng language skills ang problema nitong bulol na Apostol na ito kung hindi ang utak niya: convoluted lang talaga ang pag-iisip.

    Sabi nga ni Voltaire ay “What comes out of a man’s mouth depicts the structure of his brain”, meaning kung tuliro siya sa spoken language (cannot articulate even the simplest of lines), tuliro kasi ang utak.

    Imagine, ang chief presidential legal adviser saying:

    “Wala namang corruption nangyari sa gobyerno na naging kontrobersyal.” (Implying that the corruptions that occurred are not controversial)

    “… wala rin naman siyang kinasangkutan na anomalya ngayon. Walang transaksyon,”? (And what about before? And if there are transactions…will he be involved?)

  35. Corruption is like a tapeworm and all sorts of intestinal worms that eat up everything and anything in the host and Apostol’s brain is already in a state of intellectual gangrene because he is intellectually corrupt!

    Opposition leader Sen. Panfilo Lacson on Tuesday revealed that three people in the government asked for millions of dollars in kickbacks for the P329-million national broadband network (NBN) deal with China’s ZTE Corp.

    Lacson referred to the three people as “a Commission on Elections official” the “big one and little one.” The senator said the COMELEC official was supposed to get $55 million in kickbacks and $75 million for the “big one” and the “little one.” http://www.abs-cbnnews.com

    Kapag nagkataon, hindi lang sina Cardinal Rosales at Bishop Villegas ang ipatatawag ng Senado para bigyan linaw ang Garci tape scandal kundi pati na itong Bro. Mike Velarde. Narito ang statement ni Velarde:

    El Shaddai’s Bro. Mike Velarde shared the opinion of Rosales that Filipinos must learn to move on from past controversies.

    He said there is no more need for the re-opening of the “Hello Garci” case as there has already been a closure to the controversy.

    “What, after all, are we going to get with re-opening of the Garci scandal? The point here is na-resolve na yan during the last elections. The people have spoken and I believe that the sentiments of the people that were delivered or expressed last elections will be carried over to the 2010 elections. The presidential elections are just a little over two years away… so siguro naman dapat na lang siguro ngayon yung kailangan natin ngayon para umusad tayo,” Velarde said.

    Makakahintay si Velarde hanggang 2010 dahil mayaman na s’ya., courtesy of Gloria pa rin! Sabi nga ni Senador Trillanes, ang mahihirap ang hindi makakahintay.

    Ano ang kailangan natin ngayon para umunsad kundi mawala si Gloria na siyang hadlang para tayo ay umusad.

    Tama, ipatawag din si Velarde at tanungin kung ano ang “closure’ sa ‘Hilo’ Garci na kanyang tinutukoy.

    To answer nelbar’s OT:
    Ellenville’s Nick, who also runs his own blog Tingog.com, has renewed his call for a boycott of Manila Standard Today for reinstating Malu Fernandez and her column. After being tagged by MLQ3, his blog has become quite popular. His boycott call is even featured in today’s PDI issue: http://www.technology.inquirer.net/infotech/infotech/view_article.php?article_id=86618

    In fact I saw Anna’s comment there (Chi’s, too?).

    If 7 of 10 believe Gloria Arroyo is corrupt, who are these three who disagree? I know who: Mike, Mikey and Luli Arroyo.

    Maarte;
    If 7 0ut of 10 believe Gloria is corrupt,we are number 1 in literacy among Asian countries.Only 3 are illiterates,and their jobs are snatcher,holdaper and drug pusher.

    Puwede din naman na ang mga jobs ng tatlo ay: Kidnapper, rapist at preacher. Sinama ko ang preacher kasi may mga nagpri-preach ng aral ng Diyos na di tutoo…nililigaw lang ang mga kaluluwa.

    mideast,

    welkam dine sa aming munti at magulo subalit nakakatuwang “palaruan”.

    “Only 3 are illiterates,and their jobs are snatcher,holdaper and drug pusher.”

    pareng cocoy, mali ka!

    ang tatlong isnatser, holdaper at drug pusher ay mga merong matataas na pinag-aralan. sila ‘yung merong masters at doctorate degrees.

    tingnan mo nga ang mga nakaupo sa gobyerno ni gloria?

    di ba’t sila ‘yung mahilig mang-agaw ng dapat sa mamamayan?

    hindi ba’t sila ‘yung kinukulimbat ang laman ng kaban ng bayan?

    hindi ba’t sila ‘yung mas masahol pa sa mga pusher dahil sila ang nagbibigay proteksiyon sa mga pusakal na drug lords?

    Really, only the kapalmuks at kapit-tuko would still stick to power if we are to believe on these surveys. Kapalmuks, dahil araw-arawin man ng survey hindi na si Tapeworm (thanks, Anna) tinatablan ng kahit anong surveys pa diyan. What she really needs from the people is ACTION!!! Sipain, tadyakan, walisin etc!
    For one, PINOYS from overseas, have to come to terms. If it’s only possible not to send money to dependents for a month or two, she would feel it. I know this proposal is imposible for the majority for reasons known to you!
    Ah, basta…the events unfolding now are slowly but surely leading to her final O U S T E R ! Wanna bet?

  60. Yep, Tongue. I posted a comment in Nick’s blog yesterday.

    Matter of fact, I first got acquainted with his blog here at Ellenville where he used to post comments during the election period and since then, have made a habit of posting strong comments in his blog, although have not been doing it lately as I used to regularly.

    He should be congratulated for his very strong and passionate crusade. I believe he’s one of the most courageous bloggers in cyberspace second only to our very own Ellen Tordesillas!

    Ang tatlong natitira sa bawat sampung Pilipino na naniniwala na si Blinky Tiyanak ay corrupt ay sinungaling, magnanakaw at mandaraya!

    Mga kaalyado niya kasi, eh…

  62. chi chi

    Emil,

    Tama, ang 3 naniniwala kay Gloria ay isang sinungaling, isang magnanakaw at isang mandaraya!

  63. Emilio_OFW Emilio_OFW

    Korek ka dyan, Chi – ang pitong naniniwala na corrupt si Blinky Tiyanak ay mulat na mulat sa kaganapan sa kapaligiran.

    Sana naman ay hindi na matutunan at manahin ng mga kabataan ang napakaruming sistema ng pamamalakad ng kasalukuyang namamahala. Huwag ng hayaan pang lumaganap ang kanser na ito!

  64. Mrivera Mrivera

    kaya nga pito sa bawat sampung pilipino ay walang mataas na pinag-aralan dahil hindi nila alam ang hokus pokus ng mga katiwalian.

    ‘yung tatlo ay merong ninaster na pinag-aralan at doktorado mula sa mga pinakasikat na mga dalubhasaan sa iba’t ibang panig ng mundo.

    sila ‘yung mga topnotcher sa bar, sa board at sa PRC licensure!

  65. Mrivera Mrivera

    ‘yung tatlo ay merong MINASTER na pinag-aralan at …..

    haaayyy! pasensiya na’t tanga!

  66. Let’s do with 7 out of 10, that’s more than the majority count. If that were the result of an official referendum, Gloria would already be in the kangkungan.

    Makapal ang mukha talaga nitong magnanakaw na ito.
