Tuloy ang ligaya

Nang nagdesisyon sina Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV at Brig. Gen. Danny Lim na bumaba sa Manila Peninsula noong Huwebes, malungkot nilang sinabi na ginawa nila ang kanilang katungkulan para sa pagbabago at kaunlaran ng bayan.

Kung hindi man sila sinuporta ng karamihan, wala na silang magawa doon. Ang talo sa insidenteng ito, sabi ni Trillanes, ay ang mamamayang Pilipino dahil nanatili pa rin sila sa kapangyarihan si Gloria Arroyo.

Kaya habang nasa kapangyarihan si Arroyo, patuloy ang kurakutan sa kaban ng bayan para pambayad niya sa mga taong sumusuporta sa kanya para rin magpapatuloy ang kanilang karangyaan sa gitna ng kahirapan ng taumbayan.

Si Arroyo ngayon ay sa Europe kasama ang sangkaterbang mga pulitiko. Siyempre libre lahat. Gastos ng taumbayan.

Nakuha namin ang listahan ng mga congressman na kasama niya. Hindi namin nakuha ang mga senador at mga local officials.

Ayon sa information na aming nakuha, bawat pulitiko na kasama ni Arroyo ngayon ay binigyan ng round-trip ticket business class na nagkakahalagang $5,000, hotel expenses na $500 bawat gabi, food allowance na $500 bawat araw and allowance na $3,000 bawat araw din. Dolyar ito, ha.

Ito ang listahan ng mga congressman na nag-eenjoy ngayon sa Europe sa pera natin:

Roger Mercado, Albert Garcia, Monico Fuentebella,Nanet Castelo daza and boy friend Noel Orate, Erico Basilio Fabian,

Arnulfo Go, Datu Pax Mangudadatu, Ana York Bondoc, Aurelio Gonzales;

Martin Romualdez,Zenaida Angpin, Danilo Suarez, Mikey Arroyo; Ma. Isabel Climaco;

Carisa Coscoluela, Girlie Villarosa, Neneng Nicolas, Mitos Magsaysay, Annie Susano with friend Evangeline Evangelista;

Vicky Reyes, Lina Lanete with son Mayor Judd Lanete, Hermie Ramiro, Tony Alvarez, Ebbie Apostol;

Rachel Arenas, Baham Mitra with mother Cecil Mitra, Rudy Antonino, Tony Ceriles, Rey Uy;

Dodong Mandanas, Boyet Gonzales, Bingbong Crisologo, Mark Mendoza, Del de Guzman;

Carmen Cari, Mark Enverga, Miniang Roman, Nikki Teodoro.

May text joke tungko sa mga natutuhan natin doon sa nangyari noong Huwebes. Ang ilan ay:

1. Pwede pala maglakad mula Makati City Hall hanggang Manila Peninsula.

2. Mas powerful ang tear gas kaysa baril.

3. Kasya pala ang tangke sa hotel lobby.

4. Kapag naposasan pala ang media,nakakalimutan ang nag-aaklas. Sila na muna ang pinag-uusapan.

5. Kulot pala si Ces Drilon kapag hindi nakablower.

    thanks sa dasal na ito para kay GMA at sana ay makarating ito kay GLORIA. (G-aling M-angurakot A-men)

  3. Roger Mercado ang dahilan kung bakit hanggang ngayon naghihirap pa rin ang mga taga Southern Leyte.

  4. rose rose

    Bati pa yong anak, boyfriend, o isang kaibigan ay bayad ng gobyerno? At $500 a night for a hotel..seguro share na rin ang boyfriend (hindi naman seguro papayag na hiwalay ang kuarto..sayang malaki naman ang double bed) $500 ang food allowance a day…hindi naman seguro nagbabaon at hindi naman seguro nagbabalot sa breakfast..may kita pa na pang shopping…ang sarap seguro magshopping pag libre ano? Puno seguro ang Harods sa London…Ang sarap ng buhay ni Gloria at ang mga kasama..Tuloy ang ligaya..never mind the people! who are they anyway? ang sabi seguro…And that is my wild imagination..imagination is funny sabi nga.

    40 Solons Off to Europe With GMA

    Forty administration solons will join President Arroyo in her trip to Europe this weekend. And why not? They’ve been given the pocket money last October; time now to go shopping.

  6. Sabi ni JdV, hindi daw galing sa budget ng Congress ang pangguratsa, etc. ng mga Tongressmen na sumama. Sino ang benefactor ngayon nila? Si White Lady ba? Saan galing ang pera? Sa inutang ba?

  7. Report from the Tribune:

    JdV: Solons trip to Europe unauthorized; GMA in a fix

    Amid the controversial issue of bribery in Malacañang, another controversial issue, considered.. more»

  8. Bawat pulitiko na kasama ni Arroyo ngayon ay binigyan ng round-trip ticket business class na nagkakahalagang $5,000, hotel expenses na $500 bawat gabi, food allowance na $500 bawat araw and allowance na $3,000 bawat araw din. Dolyar ito, ha.

    WOW! That’s a lot of money from the Philippine treasury..

    If you accept that an impoverished family, the poorest of the poor in the Philippines survives on ONE BLOODY DOLLAR a day, can you imagine how many Filipinos could live on the expenses of these tongressmen — money no doubt taken from Philippine treasury which is by right money that should go to improve the lives of the most impoverished Filipinos…

  9. They’ve been given the pocket money last October; time now to go shopping.

    Iba pa iyon according to my source. Bagong padulas iyong 5,000 dollars each for plane fare, 500 dollars each for hotel/day kahit puede naman sila sa B&B, 500 dollars each for food/day kahit naman puede na sila sa mga fast food at saka 3,000 dollars per diem each.

    Kung may hihirit daw, sabihin lang daw na “Inggit lang kayo!” Susmaryosep!

  10. Only name I recognize (in addition to Jr Corleone Mikey Piggy Arroyo) is Rachel Arenas, daugher of Baby… Conresswoman na pala siya, geez, how time flies!

  11. Anna,

    The trip will take 9 days. So it will be $5,000 x 40 for airfare=$200,000, plus $1,000 x9days x40=$360,000, plus $3,000 x9days x40=$1,080,000. Total $1,640,000 only for the sabit tongressmen. Plus receptions, personal trips of the Pidal family, etc. Dios mahabagin, lalong gutom ang aabutin ng mga mahihirap! Kayod kabayo ang mga OFW niyan!

  12. Rose: Puno seguro ang Harods sa London…

    *****
    I bet you, ipapasara ang Harrods for their personal shopping courtesy of management, but wait, baka hindi pumayag iyong tatay ng Doding si Mohamed al Fayed kasi galit siya sa royal family. Dito kasi sa Tokyo, pinapasara ang department store pag nag-request ang Philippine Embassy na mamimili sila. Usually, before the store opens between 8 am to 10 am ang special shopping nila. Ganiyan sila noong panahon ni Imelda. Ganyan pa rin sila ngayon!

  13. …Harrods…

  14. Kasama iyong mga anak, mga asawa nila at mga apo sabit pa ang mga yaya! Repeat performance ha like the trip to China before! And the Filipinos can tolerate all this? Ayayayay!

  15. vonjovi2 vonjovi2

    Sabi ko sa inyo ay “Only in the Philippines” lang ito na katatapos lang ng nakawan at gulo ay eto na naman ay kurakot agad. Kaya ang mga kotongress na kasama ay kahit anong sabihin ni Madam Magnanakaw ay gagawin kahit siguro sabihin niya na kumain kayo ng TAE ko ay gagawin nitong mga hinayupak na Kotongress. Pera kasi ang nakikita nilang sign sa pag mumukha ng nga Arrovo eh. Kapag kausap nila si Kumander Thief ay pera ang nasa isip agad.

    MANHID na talaga ang mga ito at ika nga kahit sino pa ang humangal ay wala naman magagawa. Hawak nila ang lahat ng sangay ng Gobyerno.

    Kailan kaya tayo makaka raos sa mga ito. Nandiyan naman ang NPA&CPP isang hagis lang ng ATIS ay tepok na ang mga iyan.

    Ka Rosal ay puro lang dada ang alam kulang sa gawa. May MAN POWER kayo para gumawa nito at kailangan namin kayo ngayon.

  16. ipaglaban_mo ipaglaban_mo

    Kung tuloy ang ligaya nila, tuloy naman ang paguusbong natin… Sobra naman mga ito, ginawang victory celebration tour, porket nakatsamba lang sila sa overkill na Manila penn incident eh.

  17. cocoy cocoy

    Sabihin na nating overkill ang PEN incidents at hindi tayo sang ayon sa patola procedures pero wala tayong magagawa.Sila ang may hawak ng baril at tsapa at sila ang nasa puwesto.Kung kinakailangan nilang sunugin ang boung bahay para lang hulihin ang daga ay gagawin nila iyon.
    Dito sa amin madalas ang palabas sa TV na sampu mahigit ang humahabol sa camaro na hindi huminto sa stop light at hindi nag-pull over ng sinita ng pulis.Mayroon pang mga helicopter na nag-iilaw ng spot light.Paghinto ng sasakyan ay matanda pala ang driver at alzhiemer patient na tumakas sa nursing home,padadapain sa pavement poposasan at isasakay sa mobil.Pag-uwi niya ng nursing home,ipinagbili na ng mga pulis ang mga ari-arian niya dahil sisingilin siya sa mga gasolina ng mobil car at helicopter at ang overtime fee ng mga pulis na humabol sa kanya.Kung huminto sana siya ay mga 35 dolyar lang ,dahil inataki siya ng uba-uba ay naging 35 thousand.

  18. chi chi

    Enjoy while it lasts, Gloria. One day, you’ll be KAPUT forever and ever….

  19. “Ganiyan sila noong panahon ni Imelda. Ganyan pa rin sila ngayon!”

    These tongressmen may think they have the trappings of wealth and officialdom because they are members of lil tidly house of representatives of the Republic of Bribery but they are all in fact, mga magnanakaw and PATAY GUTOM (pahiram Yuko!)

  20. Ooops, posted this one under the wrong thread, so re-posting:

    Yuko, Chi, friends,

    Iyang mga Tongressmen na yan who are wasting Philippine treasury money ang tinatawag dito na “pique-assiette” and believe me that is NOT a compliment!

  21. hawaiianguy hawaiianguy

    Junket? Yup, but the better term is “pabuya” or “bayad utang”. After Gloria’s lapdogs have disposed of the fake impeachment complaint, it’s time to give rewards for their dogged loyalty.

    This is another way how our depraved leaders show their corrupt morals. Wonder how long the Filipinos will tolerate this. Gloria’s and the 40 thieves’ trip abroad inflicts more damage to the Filipinos than the 6-hour Makati standoff.

  22. J. Cruz J. Cruz

    The tent is not big enough to accommodate every Tom, Dick and Harry who will come calling….

    Patience! Instant gratifications do not work in most instances! Implosion will come from within if not vigilante justice!

  23. Toney Cuevas Toney Cuevas

    No one going to tell shameless whore Gloria Arroyo how to spend the people’s money. Whore Gloria treats the taxpayers money as her private Pidal Account, she just dip into it without a care in the world, and sadly she’s not even accountable. Who in the hell are those people and what’re their capacity in the gov’t that may at least benefit the welfare of the Philippines populace. Such an arrogant, disgusting displayed of whore Gloria’s behavior an animal living in the whore house. A boy friend in the entourage? Son of a Mayor? Mother of someone? et al and the taxpayers are paying for those shameless people. What the gall!

  24. KasangGa KasangGa

    wow, hinayupak talaga naman sa kurapsyon…kailan pa kaya mawawala sa dugo ng lahing pilipino ang walang pakundangang paglustay sa kaban na dapat ay para sa mamamayang gumagapang sa kahirapan? kailan?…ang yayaman na ng mga hayup na ito gusto pa libre ang xmas trip nila.

  25. Anna:

    Come to think of it. The expenses must be much higher since they are not using dollars in Europe but EUs, which higher than the dollar, and/or British pounds which is double the dollar in value.

    Kawawang Pilipinas! Lalong nabaon sa utang!

    Dapat ang sisihin nina Trillanes kaya hindi nagtagumpay ang ipinaglalaban nila at walang dumating na suporta ay ang mga OFW at si Akon.

    Kasalanan ng OFW dahil lagi nilang ibinibilin sa mga naiwan nilang pamilya na mag-aral mabuti at huwag gagala-gala sa lansangan.Of Course! Hindi sasama sa rally ang mga iyan dahil ang iniisip nila ay papano kung ma black listed sila sa NBI.Hindi na sila makakakuha ng clearance at hindi sila mabibigyan ng passport.Hindi ba alam nina Trillanes na sila ang magmamana ng pagka OFW ng mga magulang nila.Ngayon ito namang mga dependent ng mga citizen ng mga tiga Europa,kanada,hapon,merica at sa iba pa ay hindi rin sasama sa rally ang mga iyan dahil naka-petition sila at tumatangap sila ng dollar.Iyon namang nag-aaral ng nursing ay hindi sasama sa rally ang mga iyan dahil masasayang ang pangarap nilang magpunta ng Texas at Florida kung mablack listed din sila.

    Kasalanan din ni Akon dahil ang lahat ng mga mayayaman ay nanood ng concert niya,iyon naman mahihirap ay nandoon din at namumulot ng basura ng water bottle na itinatapon nila para mayroon silang irecycle at pambili ng noodles.iyon naman tiga probinsya ay wala silang pamasahe dahil katatapos lang ng bagyo at hindi sila nakapagbilad ng palay para ipakiskis at ipagbili.Iyun namang mga trabahador sa call center lalong hindi sila makaalis dahil maraming tawag galing sa abroad at tinatanong sa kanila ang happenings blow-by-blow.

    Para magkaroon ng tunay na revolution,pauwiin lahat ng mga OFW at nakakasigurado ako na sila na ang manguna sa revolution pag wala silang mga trabaho at maubos na nilang isangla ang mga naipon nila.Magrerebulosyon na sila talaga!

  29. Elvira Sahara Elvira Sahara

    O, di ba inggit kayo, ano? Pati ako na rin! Iba na talaga ang ang marunong mangurakot! Sana mabasa ito ng mga Pinoy na hindi nakasama sa Europe trip! Tawa lang siguro ni Sen. Trillanes at Gen. Lim!
    At nasaan na ‘yung mga defenders ni Madam Kurakot sa blog na ito? Nakasama ba sila? Beeeeeeeee!

    Gusto ko ang Prayer for GMA ni Black Diamond!

    Ellen,
    Sa 5 jokes (lessons) na binanggit mo, yung No. 3 naman caught my imagination. Pwede pala!

  30. balweg balweg

    I’m very thankful and I Praise the Lord for the inspiration and guidance that our Almighty God bestowed upon you Maám Ellen.

    Your blog is really fantastic and an inspiration to all loving Filipinos who are fighting for the TRUTH and welfare of our Kababayan.

    I’m disappointed about the recent event in our Country. Hons. Senator Trillanes and Gen. Lim and the rest of Pinoys who supported and symphatised their action are the real Katipunero in our generation.

    We need to stand up side by side with Sen. Trillanes and Gen. Lim and all loving Filipino to fight for the Truth and the welfare of our people. NOW!

    Ang mga MAKAPILI eh walang puwang sa lipunan, at gayundin ang mga TRAPO at Balingbing. Dapat ang Inang Bayan eh para lamang sa mga tunay na lingkod at di huwad gaya ng mga magnanakaw sa kabang-yaman ng Bayan.

    Wag tayong magpakabobo sa kanilang matatamis na pangako, wag ngakngak ng ngakngak, dapat tulungan nating yong mga kinauukulan na inilalaan ang buhay para lamang sa pagbabago ng Bayan.

    7-years on the making eh ano tayo ngayon, puro kahihiyan ang dulot sa ating Bayan, pinagtatawanan na tayo ng mga Banyaga kasi nga eh puro yabang lang ang ating alam, kundi pa sa mga OFWs eh bangkarote na ang gobyerno.

    Kaya dapat yong lahat ng pamilya ng mga OFWs eh matuto na at wag lang yong padalang pera ang inaasahan. Kasi nga pag eleksyon eh di na natutong pumili ng tapat at karapatdapat ng pinuno ng Bayan eh.

    Tuloy napakarami na ang buryong upang baguhin ang Pamahalaan pero heto nagkakaonsehan pa. Uso talaga ang laglagan, di na natuto puro pa press lang ang alam.

    Kaya ang panawagan ng inyong lingkod eh magkapit-bisig tayo upang makamit nating ang tunay na tagumpay. Ang pagbabago ng kalakaran ng ang mga Lingkod ng Bayan. Maging tapat sa kanilang sinumpaang tungkulin hindi ang kanilang bulsa ang kanilang pinapanginoon.

    Ang sinungaling at magnanakaw sa pera ng Bayan eh may KARMA yan.

    Mabuhay ang Bagong Katipunero!Ikulong lahat ang mga MAKAPILI.

    Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

  31. J. Cruz J. Cruz

    Timing is everything! When Romulo Neri invoked executive privilege during the closed-door Senate caucus, by then, GMA was off the hook! She is now on an unstoppable rampage!

    It’s ironic that Clarissa has more guts while RN has more glory! Isn’t it sad? Isn’t it pathetic?

    Just wondering…. What’s “really” in it for RN away from public outcry/scrutiny? I just can’t fathom how a technocrat of supposedly “known” impeccable reputation would succumb to humiliation and demotion?

    I just couldn’t stop entertaining certain thoughts either. In the final analysis, is it possible there was a boiler room offer made the accepted far greater than the 200M offered by the disgraced broker? A behind-the-scene trade-off probably?

    Hope is all we have. Let’s hope there are more duty-bound whistleblowers in the loop who will soon emerge and prepared to make a world of difference!

  32. Brownberry Brownberry

    Sabi ni Erap, next time plan better. Yes indeed. Kulang sa plano kaya laging palpak. But most of all, the US through her local Embassy immediately issued a statement of support for GMA. That’s a big factor.

  33. Etnad Etnad

    Sabi ni Glorya “Inggit lang kayo, hayaan niyo darating din ang suwerte niyo” o di kaya “lumuha kayo sa inis at inggit basta panahon ko ngayon ito”.
    Binigyan na ni Senator Trillanes at Gen. Lim ang mga tao ang tsansang sipain ang Gagang ito pero ano ang ginawa … WALAAAAA!!!! SAbihin naman ang iba e ikaw nasan ka … pasensiya na po at nasa ibayong dagat ako.
    Sabi ng mga oposisyon kaysa ganito kasi o ganoon kasi. Wala ng kasi-kasi … iisa lang naman ang gusto natin di ba …. yong sipain ang Glorya na yan. Pansarili lang kasi ang nasa isip wala rin pala kayong (mga Oposisyon) pinag-iba kay Glorya.

  34. Etnad Etnad

    Eto may Cha-Cha na naman daw …. heheheeheh totoo ang sabi ng Hero (Trillanes) ko noong ininterbiyo siya sa Pen … wala talagang balak umalis sa puwesto. Kaya tiis na lang. Makapal talaga ang mukha wala na kayong magagawa pa.
    Pinakawalan niyo ang pagkakataon.

  35. chi chi

    Yes, wala talagang balak umalis sa nakaw na trono si Gloria. Kaya iyang mga oposisyon kuno na may pigsa na sa pwet dahil sa kahihintay sa unano na lumayas sa 2010, mangingisay kayong lahat sa kahihintay dahil dumistansya kayo kaagad o hindi sumuporta sa aksyon ni Sen. Trillanes, Gen. Lim at Magdalos.

    Ang mga ordinaryong masa ay hindi ko inaasahang umaksyon o sumuporta sa ganitong mga galaw ng walang basbas o hikayat ng mga gagong politicians, kaya mamuti na lang lahat ang mata ng Pinoy at sige…hintaying mamatay sa nakaw na pwesto si Gloria.

    Gumalaw si Gen. Lim at grupo ni Trillanes, pinabayaan ng mamamayan in general…talo na naman ang kapinuyan, maliban sa mga tunay na lumalaban sa kalayaan!

  36. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Tuloy ang ligaya at pandarambong. Kasama pala sila Maguindanao Senator Miguel Zubiri, Miriam Brenda Santiago at Edgardo Angara sa Europe junket. Sige mag-sipsip puwet kayo kay Gloriang Payola. Ayos na ang pork barrel ninyo. Hindi tapos ang laban para sa pagbabago. Masmatindi ang retun bout.

  37. Brownberry, I had to delete your last comment. Foul yun.

    Please understand.

  38. rose rose

    Yuko: Thanks for the correction…Harrods..wayback when, I missed going to Harrods..kasi pinili ko ang magpunta sa Windsor Castle..crush ko kasi si Prince Phillip..brings back memories of youth..
    Ang akala natin mahirap ang buhay sa Pilipinas..P500M daw and ginastos..yong lataran..but I think it is more than that..You are right mas mataas ang Euro…Siempre hindi magpaiwan si Brenda..at baka maglupasay…at hindi niya alam ang “ay ay kalisud..kalisud sining binayaan..”

  39. Brownberry Brownberry

    Sorry, Ellen. I hope you won’t have a wrong impression about me. Baka isipin ng iba ke bago-bago ko dito medyo berde ang dating. Thanks for correcting me.

    Who is footing the bill in this trip kung hindi daw kinuha sa gobierno and trip na ito? Of course naka-pad in na sa contracts na pipirmahan ng tiyanak! Parte ito ng suhulan. Bukod ito sa tinanggap ng mga hinayupak na ito na brown bags! When the session resumes in January, they will vote out JDV( tengang daga-he deserves to be booted out though). These tongressmen will put in their own Speaker and they will push through with the CHA CHA train. Now, if the train gets derailed again, the move will be brought to the Supreme Court. With a new lapdog(De Castro-remember her? she was in the Sandigan Bayan which convicted Erap-we all know that the Supreme Court position is the prize para idiin si Erap!), chances are baka nga naman maging Parliamentary System na tayo before the 2010 elections! The Supreme Court will vote 8-7 this time in favor of the tiyanak! Luto na lahat ito ni tiyanak! I can almost see the RAT smiling because she got away from the TRAP(the Manila Pen incident). Tiyanak has outsmarted everyone! From the Tongressmen to the Senatongs to the Supreme Court! Kaya siguro niya dinala ang buong tropa niya dahil she wants them to learn how to run a government Parliamentary style! Magiging ROYAL na ang Pilipinas!
    Yung biliones na ginastos nila sa trip na ito kung ibinili na lang nila ng pagkain ng mag dukha nitong Pasko at ipinatayo ng mga iskwelahan para sa mga bata, baka mabibiyayaan pa sila. But, the tiyanak got away with the 2001 coup, got away with the 2004 cheating, got away with the ZTE deal and all the other crimes she had done. So, she has mastered the ART OF BEING A CRIMINAL without being caught! She will have plenty of time to write her memoirs when she will be in jail, that is if she will even be in one. She may suffer the fate of the European families who were killed because of their excesses. Ang buhay parang gulong, umiikot lang yan. Nasa taas si tiyanak ngayon, bukas nasa ilalim naman siya. Kaso mo ang gulong sa Pilipinas ay palaging flat kaya natatagalan ang pagikot! Kailangan mavulcanize muna ang gulong para tuloy tuloy ang ikot!

  41. parasabayan parasabayan

    A dollar now is just almost half of a euro. I just got back from that part of the world a few weeks ago. Yes, I paid for my own trip.

  42. parasabayan parasabayan

    Ten thousand dollars for a ten day stay is not enough particularly if they stay in a $ 500 a day hotel room! A small water bottle(the smallest) is already $ 3! To go to the public toilet is 50 euro cents! Mahal na mahal lahat ng bilihin and you know what? Most of products for sale are made in China, linagyan lang ng European tatak!

  43. Parasabayan,

    And they’re lucky because cost of living in Spain is not as expensive as France or the UK… So you can imagine the expense in the two other countries.

  44. 43 responses and I noticed that not one is from the usual visitors to this blog to defend this evil woman’s junket, where are you the defenders of this evil woman, maybe its too much to defend!

  45. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Malacanang bought two new Bell helicopters at P634 million each. Is she planning an exit plan?

  46. What? 100 million Euros for ONE Bell helicopter?

    What kind of helicopter was that Bell helicopter that it cost so much?

  47. Oooops, should be 10 million Euros not 100(?) … or 17 million dollars.

    Anyway, I wonder what kind of Bell they bought for 10 million Euros.

    What about the weapons systems?

  48. parasabayan parasabayan

    Anna, there goes the money her entourage needs for the trip! It is all padded in these two helicopters! There will be more gadgets to be sold to us. I hope they are in tip top condition, not the junk ones! Everytime this evil woman makes a trip abroad, she puts in a bind. I hope that tongress and the senatongs will catch up will her deeds. The way I see it though, the tiyanak is comitting the crimes faster than these senatongs and tongressmen can catch her! These senatongs can not even succeed in summoning any of the witnesses. Mga inutil talaga. This rat sized tiyanak is outsmarting them all! What a shame!

  49. PSB: You can buy an ordinary 2nd hand Bell helicopter (used commercially) for as low as 1 million dollars.

  50. That’s why I want to know which Bell helicopter they bought for 17 million dollars…

    WEATHER WEATHER LANG YAN! Now, nagpapasasa sila sa kaban ng yaman habang maraming PINOY ang naghihikahos.. Kapag napuno na ang maraming PINOY, sa kangkungan pupulutin c PANDAK at ANG KANYANG MGA ALIPORES. When we say PRESIDENT.. You will think of your nation first before your ally.. but ibang klase kasi ang PEKE nating PRESIDENTE.. Think of MIKE and HIS ALLIES before the NATION. She will never sacrifice herself for the good of this country unlike TRILLANES,LIM, ET AL.. Andming nagsasabi na those who were involved in MAKATI STANDOFF had vilated the LAW.. How about ung PANDAK na nsa EUROPE ngaun at ang knyang KAPRENG asawa, they violated the law and slam a SHIT sa contitution natin, why not apply the RULE OF LAW sa kanila?

  52. piping dilat piping dilat

    parasabayan,

    psst… on the contrary, i was hoping that the two helicopters, which i assumed are to be used by GMA, would be defective ones… at least in this case, corruption might bring something nice to the Filipinos for a change…

  53. Parasabayan,

    There is a 2nd phase of a defence upgrade project with UK’s Qinetic on the way — I believe it must have been signed reason for the junket and the audience witht the Queen.

    That contract is billions of pesos.

    Of course, there’s also the MaybeJohnson bridges (to nowhere) for which an NGO in UK is desperately trying to obtain docs alleging that the Arroyo family received real estate properties as “presents” in London for having signed the supply contract.

    The NGO in London thought that the properties were in the name of Mike, Gloria or any of their children. However, recently, a news item detailing the marital problems of Iggy Arroyo (brother in law of Gloria) with his wife showed that the couple was fighting about a PROPERTY IN THE NAME OF IGGY IN LONDON.

    The question is, could this be the property that was supposed to represent the payoff by the MaybeJohnson bridges company?

    Akala ko mas gago ang pangulo ng Venezuela yon pala mas na mas na mas gaga yang Pekeng Glorya na yan. Biruin mo nga namang matalo yong gusto niya sanang mangyari. Hindi pa pala niya hawak ng Komisyon ng Eleksiyon sa kanila. E sa atin ano???? KUWALTA lang talaga ang KATAPAT ….. Hindi talaga titino ang ating Gobyerno hanggat hindi nawawalis ang mga tiwaling mga politician na yan. Pagkakataon na sanang malinis lahat kung nagwagi ang aking Hero (Trillanes) at ang mga kasama niya sa kanilang adhikain.
    Nakakatakot na talaga tong si Glorya. Parang wala ng kinabukasan sa kanya. Puro pasarap lang ang alam. Nagsasama pa siya para bang kung siya’y kukunin na ni Satanas, hindi lang siya, kasama na rin lahat ang mga tinapatan niya ng KUWALTA. At kung mangyari man yan lahat na Politician ma-administrasyon man o Oposisyon, Nasyonal man o lokal e kasama niya sa Impiyerno. Kasi natapalan niya lahat sila ng KUWALTA.

  56. parasabayan parasabayan

    Anna, I hope Ellen is taking notes on these hidden assets of the tiyanak and family! Senate should also be more aggressive in pursuing the issues of lavish spending and illegal wealth building. It just dawned on me too that maybe some of the people who went wth her may be the dummies(or at least may know some dummies living there now) to score more loot! if each of those with her can open up a Swiss bank account, they really can salt out more loot!

    Yup! Thanks to all the participants in the Penn, those on the frontline and the bloggers (for and against alike). Lalong gumanda ang economy. May we have more of you.

    Si Cayetano … hahahaahahahaaha … mahal ang bayad ng Put… na .. mo tinanggap niya kay Boyba. KUWALTA na galing sa mga Taxes niyo. Meron pa yong VAT, EVAT at ebak. Dagdagan pa ng mga kickback. Yong mga aid pa … kaya tuwang tuwa ang mga Arroyo.
    Kinakayan-kayanan kayo ng bubwit na yan. Wala na bang matinong magsabi kay Glorya na tama na. Si Trillanes at Lim lang ba ang may mga yagbols na sumalungat sa kanya? Sabagay mga Pari nga nalalagyan na rin.
    Pati nga yata ang paborito kung si Lacson e yagbols yata sinliit ng monggo din. Di bale na si Honasan nagladlad na. Natapalan na siya ng KUWALTA.

    can’t help but read bloggers’ comments (pro and anti Manila Pen siege):-). You can really “go” for it (the invectives, that is) behind aliases—just an observation.

  61. Rose,

    Hindi lang 500M pesos iyan kasi iyong free wheeling ng 40 kasama kulang kulang nang 2M dollars, iyong gastos pa ng Pidal family plus-plus receptions for the OFWs, dignitaries, etc. kasi may mga reciprocal receptions pag state visit at saka iyong mga regalo pa sa mga binisita—lahat iyan bayad ng taumbayan when in fact all negotiations for infrastructural projects for example can be delegated na lang to the ambassadors or special envoys para hindi magastos pero itong si Talandi kasi gusto lang mamasyal kasama ang pamilya at mga alipores niya. Atribida talaga kamote naman.

    I’ve been to Harrods twice, but I was not impressed even when they told me that the rich of UK shopped there. Mas maganda kasi ang mga department stores namin. I actually enjoyed shopping more at Mark & Spencer or Woolworth at Oxford. Ang gusto ko lang naman kasi iyong mga wool T-shirts and sweaters nila kasi tunay. I got a Burberry coat there, too, for a bargain at Aquascutum.

    I have a muffler, too, like similar to the ones used by Harry Potter and his classmates. I got one of my college as a matter of fact even when I was not keen about its color. Mas type ko kasi iyong muffler sa ibang colleges.

    Ah, those were the days!…

  62. Pagbalik ni unano, for sure, baka naka-trenchcoat na iyan from Burberry’s. Puro brand ang gamit pati noong mga amuyong. Golly, pupunta pa nga pala sa Paris! Wow, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, etc. na ang mga bags, pabango, etc. ang mga iyan pagbalik dala regalo sa mga naghihintay sa Pilipinas na pati iyon libre ang gastos since it is supposed to be an all-expenses paid trip!!!

    Diyan in fact nakumbinsi ni Marcos na palayasin ang ama ni Dorobo sa totoo lang! Problema ginaya naman ni Imelda!

  63. Dahil sa mayabang iyang dugong-asong iyan, mamahalin ang hotel niyan. Sa Tokyo nga, Imperial Hotel ang ungas together with her sabit. It is the most expensive hotel here, and she demands to stay in an expensive suite I am told kahit na puede naman siyang mag-stay doon sa bahay ng ambassador gawa nang maganda naman iyon. Pero pa-class pa ang taratitat na hindi marunong umupo at palagi nagpapakita ng panty! (Got two pictures of her with her exposed panties!) kaya nga 500 dollars/night ang hotel allowance! Pera ba nila ang ginamit? If so, papaano nila na-acquire ang ganoong kalaking pera when they did not have much before she grabbed the presidency kaya parang bum pa nga iyong kapatid na Tongressman na ngayon. Alam ng mga taga-Negros iyan as a matter of fact. Pero walang maglakas ng loob na humirit?

    Diego,

    Baka naman refurbished Huey helicopters iyan na ginastusan ng PAF, tapos palalabasin na bagong bili,P1.268 bilyon straight sa bulsa, kaya di malayong mangyari ang comment ni piping dilat. Kaya pagkatapos ng “impeach-me”, “buy-me” two helicopters naman.

  65. Yuko,

    Until 2002, Gloria dressed up real baduy (talagang baduy). Even Butch Tuason, first degree cousin of Mike Arroyo used to make fun of her because she really had no dress sense. Then as we all know, she got herself a makeover artist, a wardrobe mistress who taught her how to dress up a bit.

    After my last meeting with her here, a journalist friend very much allied to Gloria called me for a critique, he wanted to knwo what I thought of the “new” Gloria in terms of appearance, dressing, etc. and expected me to say something positive because he wanted to write about it but I had to tell him the truth.

    I said, “The choice of fabric for her suit gives her the appearance of wearing a mat (the one you sleep on) it was not pretty at all besides the material was hard, carboard hard like; the cut of the suit was tupsy turvy because you could see that the sleeves were too long and the neckline which was a small V made her look as if she was a hunchback; the choice of color, mustard made her look like she was sick with jaundice, her make up is really not well done because her face had a wax-like appearance or that it was covered with cement while her neck was brown, her haircut makes her look like Snoopy but the worst thing is her teeth are incredibly yellow…”

    Nagulat iyong friend ko so I sent him the pics that were taken in her hotel suite (one of the pics was one I sent to you and the group earlier) close up and full size… Tapos the background color of the curtains in her suite was gold pa so the effect of her overall appearance in the picture was not good at all…

  66. Iyan din ang sabi ni Lesli as a matter of fact, Anna. Pero even with the personal wardrobe mistress, baduy pa rin ang dating kasi trying hard lang kasi. She should actually have gone to a finishing school, but then, I doubt if they had that money to spare kasi trying hard to keep up with the Joneses lang naman ang mga magulang after being kicked out of Malacanang. Hanggang yabang lang kasi!

    Golly, kung lumakad iyan, daig pa iyong mga sakang na hapon sa totoo lang! Wala bang nagtuturo diyan na lumakad na hindi pabukaka, at umuupong hindi tinitiyak kung nakita na ang ngalangala ng pundilyo niya? Oh dear!

  67. Yuko,

    Re: “Golly, kung lumakad iyan, daig pa iyong mga sakang na hapon sa totoo lang!”

    Siguro dahil 1 or 2 sizes bigger kasi ang sapatos niya (I noticed that she likes to wear big sized shoes, siguro to avoid sore feet) and of course, the effect when she wears stiletto heeled shoes that’s 1 or 2 sizes bigger than her real size, is they give her the appearance of a wearing flippers and also forces her to walk like a duck to prevent the shoes from escaping her feet.

    I’m sure mahirap mag 4-inch stilleto heeled shoes that are not your size and keep a beautiful gait.

  68. Hindi ba there were comments that she walks like a penguin?

    Am about to hit the sack so good of you to drop in and take over, heheh!

    See you all again folks!

  71. The two choppers are now the subject of intense exchanges between Lacson and Enrile. One of the choppers are for Gloria’s exclusive use. The other is for the Pig.

    Hindi palalampasin iyan ni Lacson.

  72. Hey, chi, sorry po di kita na-welkambak. Magulo kasi. Akala ko lumipat ka na kay Bong Austero o Sassy Lawyer, heheh.

    tongue,
    bakit kaya pinalampas ni lacson ang kagaguhan ni trillanes?

  74. Anna, it’s here : newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view_article.php?article_id=104710

    The choppers were bought by Offc of the Pres. Lacson says it’s unconscionable that she will spend P1.268 BILLION for an island-hopping vehicle when the Philippine Airforce is begging for Vietnam war-vintage hand-me-downs from the Yankees. The amount is 15% of the PAF budget for 2008.

    I sure hope they haven’t found that missing PAF jet yet. It will come in handy for the Magdalos, don’t you think so? They haven’t seen any wreckage in the Palawan seas. Is it possible that it was hijacked by the two Captains? Do they belong to Trillanes’ batch? Is that the real reason Esperon is in Malaysia?

    I’m sure you can help us get the real score on the missing plane, Anna.

  75. Dina, Itatanong ko sana kay Senator Ping kaso baka itanong kung kaninong kagaguhan yung tanong di ko masagot, wag na lang.

  76. Anong walang defenders, Chi? Naka-incognito lang iyong lesser ranks who are told to sstay and try to switch public sentiments now against Trillanes by blaming him for the coup that did not even gain first base last Thursday while the Piglet and her amuyong enjoy their Rainbow Tour.

    Ang bilis ng pangyayari. In fact, nagtatawag pa lang kami ng mga sasama sa protesta at the Philippine Embassy dito sana, natapos na.

    Come to think of it, parang may inside job pa ang nangyari. Ini-stir sila Trillanes tapos binalak na tapusin sila like what they did with Capt. Villaruel. But God in His Infinite Wisdom must have pushed the journalists, who were there, to stay put even at the peril of their lives. In fact, they continued to do their jobs even when they were stinged by the tear gas bombs.

    That saved Trillanes, Lim, et al no doubt!

    Those jet planes are considered widow makers. Pinagkakitaan yan ni Angelo Reyes… katas daw nang PAF modernization program dati… kita mo ngayon, 4 na lang ang natira… grounded na at wala pa yatang spare parts…

    Kung yun ang aasahan ng mga Magdalo, e, baka ipahamak pa sila nang jet na ito…

    Hala! Ibalik sa service ang Tora-Tora…. mas matibay yata ito kesa dyan sa trainer jet ng Italiano….

  78. FYI, walang tigil ang kurapsyon dito sa pinas habang ang Chief Sheriffs office sa SANDIGANBAYAN ang sIyang opisina ng mga defense counsel. Ano na ang nangyari sa AFP RSBS case, sa Gasoline Scandal sa Camp Crame. sa nawalang pondo ng PNP Na 181 Million Pesos .. namatay na Si General Cesar Nazareno pero natapos ba ang kaso?

  79. Hahahahaha! PD, just finished watching “Tora! Tora! Tora!” Ibig sabihin ng “tora” sa Japanese ay “tiger.” Alam ko wala na ring natira doon sa mga eroplanong iyon kasi ginamit ng mga Kamikaze. Meron isa alam ko na naka-display sa Smithsonian.

    Regarding this planned new acquisition for the personal use of the pigs, dapat talagang imbestigahan iyan kasi most likely padded ang bills nyan. Dating ugali na iyan sa totoo lang panahon pa ng tatay ni Piglet Dorobo. Kunyari mahal ang binili pero tinawaran ng husto doon sa nagbenta may commission pa through some dummy. Alam na alam namin ang modus operandi ng mga ungas kaya nga nang mabulgar doon na lang nagpunta sa mga intsik na nakikikutsaba sa kanila especially when the piglet emphasized that the Fatso has roots in Fuki-en!

    Sabi nga ng source ko, puro investments daw na non-traceable sa kanila para pag nabuking wala silang sabit. Tapos, nginig sa tumbong iyong puedeng gilingin sana. Tinatakot yata na gagawan ng scandal kung pipiyak, tanggal pa sa trabaho, ipapatepok pa! Ganyan ang modus operandi daw ngayon. Kaya iyong Neri, et al invoking privacy na ngayon! Ginaya iyong Iggy noon na hindi dapat na pinalusot sa totoo lang.

    Lakwatsera talaga ang gobyernong GMA copycat kay TABAKO, trip kung saan saan eh, walang inisip kundi gumastos hayon ang mga pobre nating Kababayan nagdidildil ng asin sana nga eh meron pa.

    Grabe ang daming alipores na kasama ni Madam GMA sa Europa, bongga talaga maraming palang pera ang gobyerno eh bakit walang lubay ang pangungutang sa mga Banyaga.

    Kailan pa magigising ang mga taong-Bayan? Pinabayan ang mga APING Katipunero, sayang nga dapat tapos na ang lahat ng paghihirap ng Bayan. Atleast mayroon tayong magigiting na Pinoy like Senador Trillanes, Gen. Lim, at iba pa na pati buhay ay ilalaan para sa Baya.

    Kaya lang inilaglag at inonse ng mga MAKAPILI at tropang naghudas kay Dr. Jose Rizal, Bonifacio, B. Aquino, Erap at Trillanes and Co.

    Pasasaan ba tayo nito kung pati tayong mamamayang Pinoy, eh niloloko ng mga trapo at balingbing na Pulitiko, sila lang ang yumayaman at enjoy sa pagwaldas ng pera ng Bayan.

    Hayon E-Vat ang isa sa nagpapahirap sa ating lahat, eh sino utak nito Pulitoko di ba.

    Magising na tayong mga Kabayan, buhayin nating ang sinimulan ni Gat. Andress Bonifacio, kaya lang ingat kay Aguinaldo?

    Mabuhay tayong lahat!

  81. Bakit magagalit ang mga kunyaring dating supporters ni Sonny Trillanes for the failure of the coup last Thursday?

    Sa totoo lang, wala namang pinagkaiba iyan sa mga ginagawang expose ni Lacson na walang nangyayari kasi wala siyang back-up tapos pag tinakot ang witness niya, wala na kasi hindi siya makautos doon sa court at pulis under the appointees of the Piglet Dorobo na mag-imbestiga dahil sa totoo lang trabaho nila iyon. Kaya bakit kay Trillanes magagalit ang mga tao? Gago din ano?

    3 oras na naghintay ng back-up ang mga pobre, pero may mole pa yata silang kasama na inudyukan na lang silang huminto kahit noong una do or die na sila. Walang pumunta maliban yata doon sa mga Bayan Muna na nahalang at hindi nakapasok to show support to them. Mahinang katwiran iyong hinarang daw pero kita naman natin na talagang dadanak ng dugo ang ginawa, pero kung talagang nagpursigi ang mga taumbayan, siguro naman hindi babaril ang mga inutusan ni Piglet kundi baka sumama na rin sila kina Trillanes kasi sa tingin ko parang naninimbang din iyong mga gumulung-gulong kuno na akala mo talagang guerra patani na! Parang malaking “Lights, Camera, Action!” ang nangyari!!!

    Por diyes, por singko!

    Kagaguhan ba iyang nakuha ng grupo ni Gen. Lim and Trillanes ang live coverage ng CNN at BBC? Sabi ko nga dun sa unang tirada ko na ang purpose nila ay makakuha ng attention. Media mileage yan para kina Trillanes at di nga ba naipahiya nila si Unano sa madlang pipol at international audience? O, di ba tagumpay sina Trillanes sa pakay nilang ito?

    Kung meron mang nagagalit na dating supporters dahil sa akala nilang failure ni Trillanes, ang mga iyon ay ‘weak’ support lang ni Trillanes. Bakit nila iaasa lahat kay Trillanes ang pagsipa sa unano samantalang ang iba sa kanila ay iyong ding mga naglagay sa trono sa bruha na ngayon ay nagmamaktol na dahil napalpak sila ni Gloria.

    Ako, all-out kay Trillanes at Gen. Lim at Magdalos. Ilan sa mga nagrereklamo ang makakagawa ng aksyon nina Trillanes ngayon sa panahon ni unano na walang sinasanto para manatili sa nakaw na power, meron ba?

    so in short, KSP sila. ang saklap naman kung media mileage lang ang habol nila. and here i thought, all along ang gusto nila e patalsikin si Gloria…

    media mileage lang pala di na lang nagpatawag presscon, kelangan pang mang takeover ng hotel…

    bakit?

    1. senador na siya ng bansa. hindi na siya sundalo. ano ba ang gusto niya? ayaw niya sa gobyerno ni gloria, pero sumali pa rin siya sa institusyon, tapos siya rin ang lumabag sa batas.

    2. hotel na naman. ano ba yan? siguro masarap ang pagkain sa hotel? bakit hindi sa city hall ng makati? at least kung masira man, hindi private building.

    sa kabatirang ito ang sa kanya ay humubog.

    gayundin ang dahong umusbong sa duklay
    natatapos din ang silbi’t pakikilaro sa araw
    isinusuko ang sarili’t napipigtas sa tangkay

    isang eksampol ng epekto sa pag papa-pogi ni trillanes sa CNN……….
    ===========================================

    To my horror, CNN showed Trillanes’ latest megalomaniacal caper while we were on our meeting break. Footage of him mouthing off incoherent rhetoric in halting, broken English and of an armoured personnel carrier ramming the Manila Peninsula’s main entrance almost made me cower in shame. My colleagues from Australia, the U.S., the United Kingdom and South Africa started asking questions:

    * “Why is the Philippines so unstable?”
    * “Why is the media covering the rebels? Shouldn’t the government impose a news blackout in cases like these?”
    * “Why is the government allowing the siege to continue for hours? Why not storm the hotel and arrest the rebels?”
    * “Why are people milling around watching the events as they unfolded? Shouldn’t the entire area be cordoned off completely?”
    * “Why can’t you get your act together?”
    * “Why do you have short-term memory loss? Why are you so easy to forgive and forget?”

    I had to hide my face in shame…I was so mad with the events back home that I couldn’t even think of defending my people and my country. Come to think of it, what we have is an indefensible and untenable position.

    IF ONLY…

    …a person guilty of a such a blatant crime as trying to overthrow the government (what other evidence is required except for the media footages of the Oakwood mutiny) was not elected into the Senate. Have we forgotten the bombs planted in and around the Oakwood building by Trillanes, Faeldon and their good-for-nothing ilk?

    IF ONLY…

    …individuals guilty of rebellion or sedition were thankful that they were even given the right to a trial. If these idiots tried their stunt in some other country, they would have been immediately hanged or shot to death by musketry. Ang lakas pa ng loob na sabihin na ginawa nila ang lahat sa loob ng sistema pero hindi sila pinakinggan! Eh sino ba ang nag-delay ng proceedings ng trial nila? Di ba sila?

    IF ONLY…

    …Filipinos were smart and mature enough to discern the real heroes from those suffering from megalomania and severe messiah-complexes. I had to humbly admit this sad fact to my foreign colleagues: “Tanga tayong mga Pilipino!”

  97. I hope you guys will be able to distinguish between truth and propaganda now being posted in all blogs and egroups for Filipinos.

    The way I see it, foreign media are more balanced in analyzing what Trillanes, et al did especially when they consider the fact that these “rebels” were once upon a time bemedaled heroes while the Piglet Dorobo will forever be remembered someday as nothing but a hated criminal!

    But then, of course, foreigners lose nothing while the puppies of the dugong aso may not even get paid when the time comes that Filipinos can get courage to get fast those containers and phalanx leading to the palace by the murky river and dragged the criminal, her husband and stooges out.

    The tiyanak does not use the AFP personnel as her personal bodyguards and her cheating dogs, losing the professionalism of its officers and soldiers.
    The tiyanak does not prostitute the tongressmen to throw out all impeachment complaints.
    The tiyanak does not appoint justices and cabinet members who did the dirty work for her(de Castro who convicted Erap for plunder, Anggie Reyes, the AFP chief who staged a coup to install the tiyanak and the like) as a pay back for a “job” well done.
    The tiyanak does not create decrees to prohibit transparency-EO 464, 108 and executive priviledge.
    The tiyanak stops to plunder the money of the people through kickbacks from contracts, going straight to her and her dogs’ pockets.
    The tiyanak would create employment for everyone by industrializing or improving the agri business and small businesses so our people do not need to work out of the country. An alarming number of these workers are abused.

    This is a quote that might help some:

    Do not regard loyalty as a personal matter. A greater loyalty is one to the Navy or to the Country. When you know you are absolutely right, and when you are unable to do anything about it, complete military subordination to rules becomes a form of cowardice.- Admiral Hyman G.

Malamang kasi hindi naintindihan for sure ang implication!

    At si Piglet, as usual, nandaya pa rin regardless of whether or not Garcillano would have been appointed as a Commissioner of COMELEC. Baka pa nga dating ginagawa na hindi lang nahalata noon!

    Pero for sure, hindi makukulong si Trillanes at fellow Magdalo niya for the 2003 coup attempt would unlikely happen!

    But let’s face it, ito ang ginusto ng mga pilipino sa palagay ko kaya iyan ang ibinibigay sa kanila, or most likely, baka ipinauubaya muna ng Panginoon doon sa amo ni Gloria na si Satanas ang mga pilipino para matoto.

    Sana nga matoto na! Graft and corruption in the Philippines in fact have existed since 1946. Mas lalong nga lang lumala ngayon. Walang pinag-iba sa totoo lang nang umalis kami sa Pilipinas at iyong tatay ni Dorobo ang presidente.

    You bet, Chi. Mission accomplished. Foreign TV viewers are now asking what’s really wrong with the Arroyo government now for the likes of these few good men to keep on trying to unseat her.

    Kung sunud-sunurin na ang oust Gloria rallies and protests, you can bet your bottom dollar mapo-focus na ang mga camera ng mga foreign media sa mga kurakot niya lalo na kung may mga pilipinong alam iyong mga shady deals na i-tie up doon sa mga shady deals sa mga bansang kinakausap nila na magandang i-sensationalize.

    Take it from me, iyan ang gusto ng media overseas gaya ng pag-salivate ng mga media dito for example for such shady connections kaya nga iyong lobby group ni Fatso inalis na dito dahil nakitang ibang klase pala ang mga tao dito. Hindi puede ang kurakot nila!

    Kaya guys, talasan ninyo ang mga radar ninyo tungkol sa mga nilulutong investment deals ng mag-asawa baboy sa Europe ngayon and ipasa ninyo sa media doon. You may try even to write letters to the editors of newspapers like The Independent or Guardian in UK. Kahit Tabloid doon binibili sa totoo lang. Puede namang gumamit kayo ng pseudonyms o magrequest na a name withheld ang mga sulat ninyo.

    That’s how you can try to put money where one’s mouth is, ‘ika nga.

    sa biyahe ni gloria apatnapung tolongges ang bitbit niya at milyon milyon ang pakimkim. kaya sino’ng maysabing hindi malakas ang piso?

    malakas naman talaga ang piso natin. subalit ang mas naKIKInabang ay ang mga maTITIbay ang sikmurang negosyanteng umaangkat ng kanilang mga produkto partikular ang mga oil companies. ang karamihan din sa piso natin ay nasa bank accounts ng mga pulitikong mas pinipili ang pagpipikit ng mga mata at pagtatangatangahan sa mga kawalanghiyaan ni gloria kapalit ng paldong sobreng dagdag sa kurakot nila!

    malakas ang piso, subalit locally ay walang purchasing power dahil ang halaga ng mga pangunahing bilihin ay SUKO hanggang langit.

    kaya marami ang magnanakaw, holdaper, kidnaper, pusher isnatser. lalo’t higit ang mga kurakot na pulis, kotongresmen, senatong, gobernatong, meyor, kotongsehal at maging mga barangay kabayad. kulang ang kanilang sinusuweldo lalo’t kabit kabit ang alagang kulatsitsi.

    sa ginagawang paglilimayon ng mga kotongresmen kasama ang reynang anay, hindi ba’t iyan ay maliwanag na paglulustay ng salap ng bayan?

    ‘daming mga nagugutom, walang hanapbuhay, walang tirahan at walang maipanlunas sa karamdaman, HINDI mang nila matapunan ng kahit konting limos lamang!

    I am in search of the TRUE FILIPINO, whose intelligence and character capture the whole essence of what makes the Philippines No. 1 in many fields of greatness. EUREKA, I found it. This piece below is a must read for all decent and law-loving people. With a Filipino mental frame like hers, even God’s mercy can’t give any hope for the bad Pinoys. Why does God need the law to save and rule mankind? Read on, it’s on the last part.

    Opinion (as of 12/3/2007 11:16 AM)

    The laws Trillanes et al violated by Katrina Legarda.

    Check out ABS-CBN online.

  118. Katrine Legarda’s piece is perhaps good in a court room but a forum where public opinion is visibly divided, it smacks of hystrionics.

  119. martina martina

    Bakit nagagawa iyan ni Glueria? Wala bang batas na nagbabawal sa mga unnecessary travel overseas. Dapat humingi ang media at mga taga opposition ng accomplishment report ng mga nagtravel. Wala kasing transparency, eh bakit hindi gumawa ng batas itong mga nasa congreso para mabawasan o maihinto ang ganitong paglulustay.

    Maraming nanghihinayang at hindi natuloy and ‘coup d’etat’ nina Trillanes. Abah, kung natuloy, eh baka patay na sila. Magiging hero nga, eh kung patay bale wala rin. Sa ngayon bale wala ang mging hero. Ilan na ang mga nagpakamatay para sa bayang Pilipinas, may nabago ba? Di ba wala? Namatay si Ninoy, may improvement ba nag Pinas? wala! Nakasadlak pa rin sa dusa. Sabi nga ni Yuko, “kawawang bansa”.

  120. Tongue,

    Ah — so the 2 Bell helicopters were purchased by OP.

    It wouldn’t make a difference if the purchase was done through either bidding or through “negotiated deal” when OP does it.

    There is no doubt that the price of 1.2 billion pesos was fixed to accomodate kickbacks, etc. (after all money is from Philippine treasury, hence, there’s money to be made for every single contract!)

    I would need only 1 element to make an estimate or approximate market selling price: MODEL OF BELL HELICOPTER to determine if it’s second hand or not. (If I don’t know the model, I can make a quick phone call and ask friends at NATO for the info…)

  121. martina martina

    Iniisip ko na kung maalis si Glueria, bubuti kaya ang pinas? Pwedeng oo o hindi. Ano ba ang maitutulong natin sa ating bansa? Ang pagsama lamang ba sa rally, o sa kung sino mang mag coup d’etat and pwedeng magawa natin? Ang pwede nating gawin ay mag- suggest kung ano ang dapat ma-improve sa sistema at batas sa atin. Katulad halimbawa ng pag-aalis ng pork barrel ng mga politikos. Dapat ikalampag natin na alisin iyan, o kaya ay mabawasan. O kaya ay i-shame natin ang mga politikos o ang mga nasa gobyerno na may mga kabit o may mga anak sa labas. Hindi ba immoralidad iyan at bawal? Kung maraming pamilya ang nasa pwesto, hindi ba mas kailangan niyang kumita, either sa pagnanakaw sa gobyerno o pakikipag deal o kotong.

    $5,000 + 500 + 500 + 3,000 = $9,000 bawat tongreman/kotongreswoman. x 40 silang lahat = $360,000.00. x 42.70 per dollar = PhP 15,372,000.00.

    Jay Cynikho,

    Let’s tally up the laws violated by Trillanes et. al. versus the ones violated by GMA and her cohorts…

    Kanino ka dapat mas galit? Sa taong sumampal sa iyo ng 2 beses o sa taong halos bugbugin ka nang magdamag?

  124. Usually the standard (LEGAL that is) broker’s fee for commercial aircraft is something in the order of 5 to 15% but in my experience brokers tend to take a drastic cut in commission particularly when there is a sure sale.

    However, in the Philippines, that is impossible. The offer by the foreign supplier submitted to the local company or individual broker would remain the same (one reason is question of insurance, foreign company cannot jack up the price or insurance goes up too and drives up the price unnecessarily).

    The local company or broker would submit their own offer to say, OP and depending on the number of people he’s got to pay off, DBM, Executive Secretary’s office, etc., etc., could easily submit a formal definitive offer on its stationery with a jakcked up price of almost double citing reasons among others, cost of money, bolts and rivets that are not necessary, maintenance contract that’s doubled, spare parts that are doubled in number, manuals whose cost would be doubled easily, etc., etc. blah blah blah..

  125. Etnad Etnad

    Saludo ako sa iyo Ms. Legarda, tama siya. Ang galing galing mo Maam.
    Puwede bang mag-request Maam Legarda, puwede ba gamitin mo ang galing mo kay Glorya at sa mga Kabinete at mga General niya. Para naman mapakinabangan ang galing mo at madadagdagan pa ang paghanga ko sa iyo.
    Palagay ko naman nagawa nila Trillanes at Lim na mag-tago sa Pen dahil sa kanilang plano. Hindi para ma-feel ang atmosphere sa loob ng isang five star hotel at lalong hindi takutin ang mga guest. Strategy yan Ms. Legarda. BOBO!!!!!!

  126. Typical example: Re missiles sold to Malacanang, foreign supplier submitted formal offer cost ex-works. The transport was presidential plane Fokker F1 so at no cost to supplier but the formal offer made to Malacanang by local agents on their company stationery, price had been marked up radically to almost twice cost ex-works…

  127. Mrivera Mrivera

  130. Ay, hindi nga pala madadala dahil bakal na ang mukha sa hiya. Wala nang hiya nga pala! 😛

  131. Characteristics of Dictatorships :

    For the purpose of this perspective, I will consider the following regimes: Hitler’s Nazi Germany, Suharto’s “New Order” and our very own , Marcos’ ” New Society”. To be sure, they constitute a mixed bag of national identities, cultures, developmental levels, and history. But they all followed the fascist model in obtaining, expanding, and maintaining dictatorial power.

    Further, all these regimes have been overthrown, so a more or less complete picture of their basic characteristics and abuses is possible.

    These basic characteristics were prevalent and intense in these three regimes:

    1. Disdain for the importance of human rights.

    2. Identification of the opposition as the enemies/scapegoats to serve as a unifying cause.

    3. Too much reliance on the military to stay in power.

    4. Attempts to control mass media.

    5. Obsession with national security.

    6. Deliberate weakening of political institutions to eliminate check and balance with the Executive.

    7. Promoting the idea that there is no better alternative to the Leader .The Leader is the “lesser evil” compared to other leadership options.

    8. Obsession with punishment on political “destabilizers”.

    9. Rampant corruption.

    10 Fraudulent elections.

    Should we ring the alram bells? Maybe,maybe not.

  132. Etnad Etnad

    Hindi niyo ba naiintindihan ang ginawa nila Trillanes at Lim? Para isalba pa ang natitirang yaman ng ating Bansa. Sa nakikita nila wala na talagang pag-asa sa mga politiko. Kahit sino pa ang papalit sa tangnang bubwit na yan sa mga roster ng mga Presidentiable natin ngayon, katakot takot na kurakutan pa din ang mangyayari. Di ba sa bunganga nila galing “Weather Weather lang”. Sayang pinalagpas natin ang pagkakataon.

  133. Magno,

    I think I have an idea who sold the Bell helicopter to Malacanang. And if I am right, this broker would have jacked up the price to at least 90% of initial selling price.

    I also wouldn’t be surprised to know that General Benjie Defensor, was part of the “RP evaluating team…”

  134. chi chi

    Katrina Legarda didn’t include Gloria Arroyo in her list of common criminals. The unano, being the most notorious criminal, should not be allowed to walk the streets of Europe, baka magkalat ng krimen! She should be put to jail surrounded with barbed wires para hindi makatakas!

    Sabi nga ni Ping Lacson, mani lang ang kasalanan (kung maituturing na kasalanan) ni Trillanes kumpara sa bultu-bultong kasalanan ni Gloria Pidal.

  135. I mean “OP evaluating team”.

  136. Chi,

    Legarda’s piece really smacks of hystrionics no more no less. She should reserve such bombastic arguments in a court room. Unfortunately, in Pinas, there are many people who believe that the more hysterical a declamer is (Legarda in this case), the more credible he/she is.

    Re Gloria and the way she dresses:

    Pics of her with King Juan Carlos in http://www.uniffors.com — you will see what I mean by a neckline cut that doesn’t suit her. She’s wearing a tapered V necline but high with a thick collar and it makes her look hunchback.

    One thing I notice is that she’s learned to hold a champagne glass; a couple of years ago in a vin d’honneur in Malacanang she was photographed by Philstar holding her wine glass as if it was a flute of lambanog. I commented on it to Boy Montelibano who said that Gloria is tyring hard to keep up with the Joneses (like you said…) and that had she not married into the Arroyo family, she would have been considered a staunch social climber at best.

Karamihan ng mga advisers niya ay tao dati ni Marcos at alam nila kung saan nagkamali ang dating pangulo kaya ayan pinag-igi nila para hindi mangyayari kay Glorya ang nangyari kay Marcos. Pero ang hindi nila alam, ang DIYOS ay hindi natutulog. Siya’y laging gising at sinusubaybayan niya ang bawat galaw nila. Mamamatay din sila.

  149. By the way, I left a message in Sen Ping Lacson’s blog a few days ago http://www.pinglacson.blogspot.com

    A reply has been posted to my comment:

    AdB said…
    Senator,

    In my opinion, while it is the practice to deploy the police to put down a suspected uprising in the metropolis, based on first hand accounts I’ve read, I do find that PNP Chief Razon’s stormtroopers went for overkill.

    There were reports that Gen Barias personally went overboard too when he jabbed Sen Trillanes in the chest with his elbow. There are also unconfirmed reports that the young senator also was beaten up by elements of the CIDG.

    This sort of police tactics will not go down very well among the elements of the military, rightly or wrongly. I dare say that this could cause more divisiveness within the rank and file in the AFP worse than Gen Esperon and Mrs Arroyo may imagine.

    It would be good indeed if you could raise the issue of highhanded methods used not only on Gen Lim and Sen Trillanes but also on the members of media.

    You are right, adb. When I interpellated Sen. Enrile on the budget of the DILG Monday, I found the response of the PNP commendable, but only to a point. The best thing that happened was that not one life was lost and damage was minimal so it was highly commendable. But after the smoke cleared and it seemed the situation was well under control subsequent actions was no longer commendable, the arrest of media personalities, imposition of curfew which has no constitutional basis. I was tempted to ask Interior Secretary Puno under whose authority he implemented the curfew that Thursday night.

  163. Tribune reports that Trillanes, et al are going to be transferred to Muntinlupa. This should be protested by the bar associations in the Philippines because Muntinlupa is not a detention house. With the number of people the Mafiosa is likely to have arrested just to be able to keep her position, they should think of building more detention houses that should be under the supervision of the court, not necessarily the Department of Justice because it is more dangerous I believe to have them entrusted to the custody of the lunatic there who should have died during his kidney operation!

    What an injustice! Sa amin iyan riot ang labas kapag ginawa nila ang ganiyan. Golly, walang magandang detention house! Dito nga marami na ang tatlong tao sa isang selda na may sariling dumihan at ugasan ng kamay.

  164. Yuko,

    Re: “Tribune reports that Trillanes, et al are going to be transferred to Muntinlupa. ”

    But Muntinlupa is a prison or landing house for those who have been judged guilty and sentenced … Have Trillanes and co been convicted, judged and sentenced?

Danilo Lim and 34 others charged with the non-bailable crime of rebellion for their participation in the Manila Peninsula hotel siege to the New Bilibid Prisons in Muntinlupa due to security considerations. ”

I’m pretty sure most of these “Jobert Sucaldito clones” or pansies haven’t even held a gun their whole lives, much less get fired upon. I’m pretty sure these people will even tremble while holding a firearm, and they have have the audacity for brave talk. Fools! Even Mon Tulfo had the nerve to come up with some dirt on Trillanes, there are so many tough talking idiots but never had the nerve to enlist. I suggest to these people to check their own “balls” if they ever had any before daring to make any comments about these men. Those who even question his intelligence I dare him to challenge Trillanes on solving
    Differential Equation problems or Thermodynamics and they’ll see who is the moron.
    The formula for successful coups would be to “compromise,” link up with the leftists, some rich ambitious senators (politicians), some US interest groups, the Erap supporters, the church, civil society, of course ambitious generals (or ex generals) and all manner of groups/individuals that has anything to gain from it. Add bombing specific targets to scare away investors, create a economic emergency, no, sabotage the economy. Any experienced activist, reminiscing my days in LFS, we cannot mount a strong rally for “no to tuition fee hike” without “outside help” maybe from other chapters, some I don’t even know from where. Labor union strikes cannot make any dent if they don’t call in the “muscle.”
    Yes, Trillanes may have not planned things through, or gathered strong allies that would really scare the thongs off GMA – because he’s too decent to do so. Hell, nobody even knew he would do it, because he didn’t ask for help from other officers. It was spontaneous, it was pure, it was true!
    All throughout the event, I was talking to friends from both in the active service and private sector. I was so pissed off that I tried to convince some officers to resign, or prepare for another career, get out of the service, stop punishing themselves. There are detachment commanders in Mindanao that sleep on a sheet of plywood covered with a straw mat, (and they were “deans’ listers” in the academy), while some officers here in Manila enjoy airconditioned desk jobs, extra income, and get promoted faster to boot. Because I was so emotional at the time, I paid for everybody, even made a big deal about my credit limit, as it turned out most of them haven’t even seen an international credit card. I told them “I don’t have half the brains as you guys, if you take the plunge, you’ll do a lot better than I did!” Look at —-, he’s always taking remedials before, but he’s Vice President now. I wanted them to know that they had so much potential and are wasting them by serving this government. For a moment, I thought I was getting through to them as they were silent. Thats when our VP mistah pulled me aside and straightened me out. If these intelligent, decent, officers who are still willing to sacrifice and avoid corruption leave the service, who will be left? The corrupt, desk job, glamorized security guards – they will get to be generals for sure, as there will be no one else left and he was right. Foolishness is not the monopoly of the idiots I was talking about earlier, I am a fool at times myself.
    There are still some decent officers left, one even limping because he was just recently shot in the leg, but still manages to crack jokes over beer and sisig. One day, God willing, and I pray the corrupt politicians in the commission on appointments will die of old age or gag with so much rich food – will not be able to stop the rise of these men to positions of responsibility, and change will eventually come. One day…

  177. Juggernaut,

    We missed you here.

    As I said in Manolo’s blog, the hysterical commenters there who have been jabbing Sen Trillanes and Gen Lim with such virulence could accuse the two of whatever they want under the sub but these two men can hardly be accused of cowardice…

  178. Those who accuse the Lim and Trillanes of cowardice had better feel their own shorts — for all we know these armchair soldiers and blog troopers could already be pissing water just writing about Lim and Trillanes.

  179. Re: ” Thats when our VP mistah pulled me aside and straightened me out. If these intelligent, decent, officers who are still willing to sacrifice and avoid corruption leave the service, who will be left?”

    He’s absolutely right!

    At the time of the Miranda-Lim-Querubin Edsa stand off, that was my main argument too for objecting to some bloggers who wrote that the officers should resign first before he makes his grievances known.

    I object for many reasons but one among them was that these mand have a duty to their men — that to resign would leave their men without qualified leaders and expose them to those who are corrupt and when that happens the AFP would simply go to the dogs.

  180. This was what I wrote in Philippine Commentary last year at the height of the EDSA 2 celebration stand off:
    http://www.philippinecommentary.blogspot.com/2006/03/citizen-soldiers-moral-dilemma.html

    Great piece, DJB!

    I go the way of M Buencamino:

    As I have said in an earlier posting when you asked me about the same dilemma. I had said that if I were Lim, I wouldn’t resign. I wouldn’t turn my back on my men by resigning my command in the face of the enemy. I wouldn’t surrender my men, my uniform, my rank and my command to the enemy. I also gave a couple of reasons why resigning would not be the recourse of the moral and the brave.

    You must consider, DJB the one underlying reason for all this restiveness: the military is in a state of alert for obvious reason, that like it or not, the nation has been facing the prospect of a civil war for the last 2 years. The prevailing conditions therefore are extremely abnormal. And in such conditions, a military officer must call upon his moral reserve to help him solve a moral dilemmma.

    Under these extraordinary circumstances, Lim drew on the moral tenet of the military oath: it is the guardian, protector and armed guarantor of the Republic against internal and external threats of agression. If Lim resigned, he would be turning his back against his oath of duty. We call that COWARDICE!

    We must also consider how Lim resolved the huge dilemma that was facing him – it was not a spur of the moment (unlike Angie Reyes’ mutiny). As a soldier, a decorated fighter, an officer, a PMAer and a West Pointer to boot, he weighed the dilemma options – the moral duty of his rank and command to his country, to the Republic and to the Constitution, outweighed the “follow chain of command” tenet of the military.

    Lim had identified the enemy of the State. To Lim, Gloria and her government are the enemies of the State; he accuses her first and foremost of having tampered with the elections and does not believe that she is the legitimate commander in chief; furthermore, and most importantly, he must have put on balance an equally and perhaps, even more damming criminal act – her having committed a far more serious crime when she willfully, wrongly, morally breached the chain of command in 2001; he accuses her of breaking that principle that you hold dearly, DJB and which you now defend: the military chain of command; he accuses her of continuing to breach cohesion in the military by willfully destroying the last remaining moral fibers that bind the military to its oath of duty by continuing to corrupt the military.

    When a military officer with his record is forced to grapple with a dilemma of such proportions, he has no recourse but to call on his moral oath to be his guide and which he did.

    By resigning and becoming a mere private citizen, he would no longer be duty bound to honor the same oath of duty a military officer has been sworn into (although why not but this is not the question). We must understand that following the chain of command is NOT the only principle that underlines a military oath and duty; it is not the overriding principle that guides a military officer with a superb career as his to do what he has to do. If George Washington and several other officers and soliders who were in the service of the Royal Armed Forces under of King George at the time had placed the military chain of command above and beyond their sworn duty, America would not exist today.

    Angie Reyes’ mutiny did not have the same basis. As a military officer, Reyes does not have the same military record, never had, never will! Moreover, the circumstances were not at all the same: there was no election fraud, the impeachment was ongoing! The Constitution was WORKING!

    Our Constitution is not working DJB. There are enemies, armed and not that are prepared to bring it down and with it the Republic and it’s people. The enemies are at the doorstep. Therefore Lim did the right thing in order to uphold his oath as guardian, guarantor, protector of the Republic and its people.

    His error is that he failed in performing that duty!

  183. Why should soldiers who refuse to follow the dictates of a criminal get out of the force first before they criticize the criminal? Isn’t it more proper to arrest and send the criminal to jail with all these soldiers refusing to be under her command? Why shouldn’t they do that rather than spoil the bratlike idiot and allow themselves to be subjected to a crazy loyalty check? Ang hina naman!

    This is an interesting question about Lim and Trillanes siege on the PEN because there are a lot of different facets to the issue, and it is made more complicated by our feelings about the situation and the fact that some of us believe we were misled about there reasons. Here is a look at what I see are the primary possible rationales for walking out from judge Pimentel and how they hold up under scrutiny.
    I am not a Trillanes-hater, but I do have a couple of criticisms of his judgment regarding the move and his threat. What would the motive be? Trillanes was a rebel soldier concerned with his own arrogant and ego, not a righteous zealot. He may have used charisma references from time to time, but the fact is, he was no friend to some traditional politicians,churches and elite society because his cause threatened there interest and power. So what else might have motivated Trillanes? He was elected senator. Revenge, maybe for Gloria and Esperon. Again it does not fit because of Trillanes character.He was not a stupid man, so he had to know that any link between himself and trespassing the Pen, would bring the gravest possible consequences. He also had to know his military experience had no hope of defeating the army of Esperon and the only result of any attack would be his own demise.

    He think,he can change the government by fighting for the rights of Filipino for freedom and other economic reasons. Yes, many Filipinos suffered from Gloria’s rule either directly, through his continual, brutal suppression of human rights and disregarding the constitution, or indirectly, from the poverty brought on in part by years of corruptions and general economic disarray. Her effective governance plan never worked the way it was supposed to and for the most part, the ruling class of society remained unaffected while the lower classes suffered. I think this makes a pretty compelling argument for Trillanes in removing Gloria from power although his rhetoric move did not mention it much, if at all. Filipinos place a high value on there own freedom and in general wish for prosperity in life. Thus the Gloria administration emphasis on danger for their hope has declined somewhat while corruption arguments have become more visible. The people certainly were suffering from Gloria’s rule and it appears that they are suffering even more from the lack of a strong, stable government. Was this justify the move of Trillanes? Maybe, but we may never know for certain. At the very least we should have recognized that violence was not a very possible answer. Moreover, we know that historically, the differences of past EDSA’s have resulted positive with less bloodshed. Trillanes have failed because his calling didn’t reach the masses deaf ears and they are all tired and don’t care and there is no trophies for non-winners.Now,Who is willing to accompany Trillanes in jail? I hope someone in here can volunteer.I won’t!

    Easy, pare! Those who hate Trillanes and Lim, I’m sure, are very courageous FPJ-cum-McGyver-types who WERE in the Pen themselves. Given the chance, they would have annihilated the hundreds of SAF troops with barely a rifle and a full round in each hand.

    I’d like them to show us how brave and intelligent they are.

Yes, he made the mistake to do it but siguro naman time na sana un, kong meron man sila kanya-kanyang agenda, at least napabagsak natin si Pandak. Si pandak na hindi ko maisip kong papano siya nakakatulog sa mga madidilim at kahayupan na mga ginagawa nya sa pilipinas. She is really the most cruel and evil person on earth. Come to think of it, may HIYA ba sya??? wala – wala???? katatapos lang ng suhulan sa malacanang, here she is again with her back up congressmen, nagmodmod ulit ng pera ng bayan – pumunta ng Europa para mag liwaliw ?!?

    “Those who even question his intelligence I dare him to challenge Trillanes on solving Differential Equation problems or Thermodynamics and they’ll see who is the moron.”

    my friend, intelligence is not measured simply by how many equations you can solve correctly, or how many facts and figures you can memorize.

    Trilanes is being questioned for his judgement. decision-making falls squarely on a person’s intelligence, hence why people question Trillanes’ intelligence. what he did wasn’t the smartest move he could’ve done. and i doubt thermodynamics could’ve helped him in that situation.

    or perhaps that was why he made such error? his intelligence only involving the ability to calculate thermodynamics and differential equations. pag dating sa praktikal na buhay, na bokya na.

    “In journalism, we call it ‘naiwanan tulog sa pansitan’. It pricked their ego to be unmasked for what they really are, hanggang porma lang pala.”

    there are those who, even before this incident have made their stand re such actions like these. no violence, no juntas, no attempt to takeover extra-constitutionally. in which case, the things they said now, re Trillanes and co is just being true to form, to what they believed in.

    now you know who were unmasked that day. alam mo kung sino ang mga hanggang porma lang. they are the same people who cried, nay, shouted support for Trillanes and his cause, in this blog and elsewhere. the very same people na “natulog sa pansitan.”

    baka di nga natulog, “nagtago lang sa pansitan.” lumabas nung ubos na yung pansit.

    how can you unmask someone who never declared support for such means as Trillanes employed? how can you call someone hanggang porma lang kung di naman yun ang pinoporma nya?

    pero alam mo ang dami dito, yun ang porma, yun ang sigaw, yun ang adhikain – tingin mo sila ang lumabas na huwad? uyy! wag magbulag-bulagan.

    Ms. Ellen Tordesillas, Isn’t it a trait of a good and responsible journalist to verify information before you even think of writing or in this case, printing or posting it in a blog where possibly millions of people or more can view it. I am a proud 1st District Marikeno and was very disappointed with the way you misinformed us through your article and thi blog. Our congressman, Hon. Marcelino Teodoro is not part of the European tour of the PGMA. Cong. Marcy was stunned when he heard my brother asked him what he was doing in our area, when according to an article, which YOU wrote, he was part of the tour of GMA. Nakakahiya at nakakaawa naman kaming mambabasa sa ginawa ninyo. Ang totoo, si Cong. Marcy, he just shrugged off like a gentleman, laughed at sinabing baka nagkamali lang dahil may ka-apelyido siyang congresswoman. That’s why i verified through the internet the article that my brother read. Yung tao sobrang sipag mag-ikot, para magbigay ng tulong sa constituents niya, at eto pa ang balitang paninira sa kanya. Is this what you call responsible journalism? He was even in the news a day or two ago defending the rights of media people in the recent Manila Pen incident. Paanong kasama siya sa Europe? Lapses like this is undeniably unreasonable especially for a journalist like you.

    Game Ka Na Ba! Parang showbiz….

    Grabe ang laro ng pulitika sa ating Bayang Pinas? Kung mahina-hina ang iyong dibdib at sikmura eh surrender ka kaagad.

    Hay naku ayon sa TV Patrol news now (06/12/07), ang Pinas daw ang pinakatalamak at corrupt na bansa quote and quote?
    Patunay lang ito sa husay at galing ni GMA na maniobrahin ang Bansa pabagsak sa kangkungan.

    Sa totoo lang, ito ang naglalarawan sa kabobohan ng marami nating Kababayan na patuloy na sumusuporta kay Tita Gloria. Kapit-tuko eh ka nga. Tahasan na tayong lahat eh ginagago ng gobyernong ito at patuloy na naglulubid ng kasinungalingan eh dedma lang tayo.

    Hayon di na natiis ng Kgg. na Senador Trillanes/Gen. Lim ang panglolokong ito, nagmartsa hanggang PEN ang kaso walang tulong na dumating, si Esperon ang nagkusa pinadalhan sila ng TANGKE at ang siste tinirgas silang lahat at tinakot pa ng putok ng bala.

    Tinapos dali-dali ng gobyerno ang siege para nga naman di na makahingi ng suporta sa taong-Bayan. Well, naisahan na naman tayo ni Tita Glo and co.

    Pabuya sa mga balimbing na tagasuporta, trip to Europa, naks nga naman enjoy pa.

    Eh papayag ba tayo na mukhaang pangloloko na ito sa ating lahat na Makabayang Pinoy. Kayo kung sino ang may kapamilyang Militar at Kapulisan eh try to convince them to withdraw their support to GMA regime.

    Kasi ang problema natin ang Militar at Kapulisan dahil sila ang pawn ni Tita Glo para supilin ang ating laban.

    di ba PMA grads have a degree in engineering when they graduate from PMA? – ASIII (arm struggle part 111)

    Iyon po ang problema? hindi nagamit ni Ka Sonny (III) ang aplikasyon ng teorya ng Thermodynamics sa lipunan, dapat mag-aral muna siya ng “political engineering”, onli in d pinas. Na ang pagbabago’t pag-unlad ng isang bansa’y hindi nakasalalay sa iisang tao, ang lahat ay sangkot at kabahagi, maging ikaw man ay nasa antas ng mahirap o mayaman, masa o elitista, inteliktwal man o ordinaryong tao. Sa teorya ng Thermodynamics, ay walang latak… at ang latak ay maaring i-konbert sa panibagong enerhiya.

    Tama, “tuloy ang ligaya” ng mga iilang ganid at nakakarimarin na Pilipino, ang rehimeng GMA, pero darating rin ang takdang-panahon, mayroong apat na senaryo lamang ang dapat na pagpilian ng sambayanan sa yugto ng pagbabago o manatiling nasa kapangyarihan ng iilang ganid at nakakatimarim na pilipinong gumagahasa sa kaban-yaman ng bayan:

    1. Military Junta cum revolution
    2. Coup cum revolution
    3. Civil War
    4. Manatiling piping-dilat, magkunwaring leon na walang matatalas na kuko’t ngipin, at magpati-anod sa ketongin sistema ng bansang Pilipinas. (walang katapatan at nakakarimarim na eleksyon)

    Katulad ng aking nabanggit, ang kaganapan sa Makati ay sukatan ng budhi at lakas. Sinukat ni Ka Sonny “Boy” III hindi lamang ang kampon ni GMA, maging ang taumbayan, ang mga anak ng bayan… nagkamali ng kalkulasyon si Ka Sonny Boy sa pagkaka-iba ng lakas at uri (Differential Equation) at ito’y hindi natumbasan ng mga taong bumoto’t nagbigay sa kanya ng simpatiya, ang 11 milyong boto ay hindi nai-konbert para sa kanyang panawagan na samahan siya para sa pagsusulong at pagtatatag ng isang bagong pamahalaan.

    Sinukat nina Ka Danny at Ka Sonny Boy, sampu ng mga kilalang personalidad ang budhi ni GMA, at iyon ay kanilang kinilala na kahit paano’y may pusong-mamon dahil bilang isang INA at babae, ‘eh kaso ang pusong-mamon pala ay napapalibutan ng mga bakal na mula mismo sa mga taong produktong mag-aaral ng institusyong PMA, kaya’t ang resulta ay maling kalkulasyon sa pagkilos ng tao, ‘eh ka nga, wala sa “timing”, marahil mali ang pormulang ginamit sa pagtatasa ng Differential Equation. Kung kaya’t sa susunod na bakbakan, tunay na iyan! wala nang melo-drama, wala ka nang makikitang SAF na pagulong-gulong sa malamig na semento, kung mayroon pang pagkilos!!!!? mabuti na iyong sila-sila na lang, kapwa Pilipinong-militar ang magpapatayan… sabagay mas mainan na sila-sila na lang ang magrambulan, kaysa sa madugong civil war.

    Kung ikaw, siya o ako ang nasa kalagayan ni Ka Sonny Boy, nang sila’y nag-deklarang lalabas na sa hotel, walang sinumang normal na tao ang hindi papatak ang luha! ito ba’y sa dahilang hindi sila nagtagumpay! hindi po, kundi sa epekto ng katangunan sa kanyang sarili! ITO BA ANG SAMBAYANAN NA IPINAGLALABAN KO? Ito ba ang mga anak ng bayan, na pinaglilikuran ko?

    PERO, sa punto ng pagbabago at sa linggwaheng militar, ang digmaan ay maraming bahagdan ng katagumpayan na tulad ng karanasan ng Dakilang Rebolusyong 1896, halos o mahigit sa isang daang digmaan bago ito ganap na napagtagumpayan. Katanungan na kailan kaya magaganap ang tunay na pagbabago’t pag-unlad ng bansang Pilipinas? para sa kapakinabangan ng sambayanan. Kailan kaya makakatiis ang sambayanan sa rehimeng GMA…? hay naku…!!! Ganunpaman, saludo po ako sa inyo Ka Dodong, at maging sa ating mga patriotikong kasundaluhan at sa mga rebolusyonaryong indibidwal na lumahok sa kaganapan sa Makati.

    Ito’y isang panukala, at ako’y humihingi ng paumanhin sa ating mga ninuno, at sa kasalukuyang henerasyong Pilipino… nawa’y paunlakan ninyong “susugan natin ang huling kataga ng ating Pambansang awit- ang Lupang Hinirang, imbes na katagang “ANG MAMAMATAY NG DAHIL SA IYO” ay palitan na lamang natin nang “ANG MABUHAY NG DAHIL SA IYO”

    ‘Oh, Dakilang Lumikha, kaawaan mo ang aming Inang Bayang Pilipinas!

    Ka Petite,

    Sa mundo ng pulitika, ang labanan eh pera pera lang. Di ba si Tita Glo eh grads ng economic yan at klasmayts pa ni Bill Clinton di ba.

    Umunlad ba ang Pinas, puro drawing lang! Kasi nga ang mga Pulitiko eh master nila ang music at drawing kaya pwedeng ang OO eh maging HINDI vice versa.

    Eh ka mo Differential Equation problems or Thermodynamics dapat ang ginamit na strategy ni Senador Trillanes, posibleng na missed lang niya ito. Kasi nga, napapanahon ngayon ang ONSEHAN at LAGLAGAN, yan ang tunay na issue.

    Takot sila na maging Junta leader itong bagitong Senador, kasi nga magaling sa logic at shortcut way ng computation.
    Kung nagkataong nagtagumpay sila for sure solve ang problema.

    Kaya lang nasilat kasi ba naman eh nandoon yong civil society na pakawala ni GMA. Isinumbong ang plano ng mga kawawang pobre, tuloy back to kulungan uli.
