Kung ano-ano na ang ginagawa ng Malacañang para matakpan ang baho ng NBN/ZTE na unang ibinulgar ni Joey de Venecia, anak ni House Speaker Jose de Venecia ngunit patuloy pa rin itong umaalingasaw.
Sinasabi ng mga may simpatiya kay Arroyo na naniniwala pa rin sila na matatapos ni Arroyo ang kanyang termino hanggang 2010 at itong kontrobersiya. Hindi nila sinasabi na hindi totoo ang mga ibinulgar na kurakutan. Ang mahalga sa kanila ay makaabot si Arroyo ng 2010.
Noong Enero, nang magsimula ang bagong taon, kahit naniniwala ako na hindi dapat tumigil kahit isang minuto pa si Arroyo sa pwesto na kanyang ninakaw, parang tanggap ko na malabong mapaalis siya sa Malacañang. Hindi lang hanggang 2010. Kahit lampas pa.
Sa hirap kasi ng buhay, parang pagod na ang lahat. Para bang pagod na sa kakakunsumisyon.
Ngunit di ba, “God works in mysterious ways.” May mga ginagawa ang Panginoon na hindi kayang maintindihan ngunit lahat tungo sa kaliwanagan.
Katulad na lamang noong Nov. 29 sa Manila Peninsula. Nasupil ng mga alagad ni Arroyo ang protesta nina Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV at Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim. Alam mo naman ang Pilipino, kung sino ang nanalo, doon sila papalakpak.
Ngunit nasira ang kanilang panalo ng hinuli at pinusasan nila ang mga miyembro ng media na ang cover hanggang matapos ang krisis sa Manila Pen. ‘Yun ang naging isyu.
Ito naman kay Rodolfo Noel “Jun” Lozada, dating presidente ng Philippine Forest Corporation na kaibigan ni CHED Chairman Romulo Neri na siyang maraming alam sa ma-anomalyang kontrata ng NBN/ZTE.
Kung pinabayaan nila si Lozada noon na tumestigo, hindi lumaki itong isyu dahil ang kwento ni Lozada ay dagdag lamang sa mga na-ikwento na ni Joey de Venecia at Neri. Siyempre dahil may tinatago, pinpunta pa nila sa Hongkong para hindi makapunta sa Senado. May sinabi pa silang conference sa London na wala naman.
Noong umuwi dito, pinakidnap pa sa airport. Di lalong lumaki ang krisis. Kidnapping na ngayon ang kaso.
Kung ano-ano na ngayon ang ginagawa ng Malacañang para matabunan ang Senate hearing kung saan si Lozada ang nakasalang. Bumili sila ng espasyo sa mga diyaryo. Wala namang naniniwala. Pinasalita na nila si Luli Arroyo, ang anak ni Gloria at Mike, na nagsabing wala raw ninakaw ang kanyang magulang sa taumbayan. Wala ring epekto.
Ngayon nagsimula na nag-mbestiga ang Ombudsman pagkatapos ialng buwan nitong inupuan ang kaso. Paniwala ng marami, diversionary tactic lang itong Ombudsman dahil hawak naman ni Arroyo ang mga tao doon.
Sa ngayon, marami na ang naniniwala na baka hindi na makaabot si Arroyo sa 2010. Ang sigaw ng taumbayan ngayon ay “Tama na! Sobra na! Alis Na! Now!”
Only the Supreme One knows when to strike hard and put an end to evil!
Nasa tao ang gawa, nasa Diyos ang awa!
Tuloy-tuloy ang kilos laban kay Guriang Korap at sa kanyang mga alagad na demonyo sa EK!
I second the motion! Ako, naniniwala na hindi na magtatagal ang rehimeng ito. Kung hinang na lang siguro at puputok na ang galit ng Panginoon.
Sa totoo lang, hindi naman kailangang marami ang kumilos kung may sapat na pananampalataya ang mga pilipino talaga sa Dios, and a prayer of few is more potent in fact than a prayer by a million especially when the prayer said by people who do so with their lips only not their hearts.
“Vengeance is mine: I will repay.” (Rom. 12: 19) “For the day of vengeance is in mine heart.” (Isa. 63: 4)
God must have heard Lozada’s prayer—more than enough to destroy his tormentors!!! Tulog muna ako.
… konting hinang na lang siguro…
I believe Lozada when he quoted Neri saying Gloria was evil.
Neri should really muster some courage now and spill it all.
When I saw that people raising clenched fists inside the church and singing “Bayan Ko” nakakakilabot pala. I agree President Gloria is in big trouble. Sen. Biazon said he has witness for “Hello Garci” and another ZTE witness to surface according to Sen. Cayetano..nagkaroon na yata ng lakas ng loob ang mga ito.
I 3rd the motion! The table is now WIDELY open for nationwide cruzade and mass action, JOIN NA para sunduin si GMA sa Malacanang at bigyan ng parangal bilang natataning Pangulo ng bansa, sa kanyang macro accomplishment sa Pidalismo gov’t. Final grade -64% plus!
Patience, what we need now,no need to rush everything,everything are on the track the biggies are in the cages,only what need now the real support of the majorities.ENGINEERS are to designed bidges,structure etc for safeties,economical values,but there is anothere type of engineering w/c barely known,DEMOLITION ENGINEERS means knocking down eyesore structures,unnecessary and no more valued objects.The executions of the task went along with the blue prints,The final showdown are after the agonies of JUN after cracking the strong foundatio of the fortress.
Remember Gusa77, ang Masang Pilipino eh 2001 pa nakikipag tag-of-war sa Pidalismo regime till now, kaya sa wakas ang civil society and some EDSA DOS supporters eh nagkaisip na to reform their stand and support kay GMA gov’t.
Ang pagkakamali eh lawaran ito upang talikuran ang wrong doings at harapin ang katotohanan, di pa huli ang lahat kaya welcome to the family of nagmamahal sa Inang Bayan upang sunduin si GMA sa EK at buhating palabas dito kung di makuha sa masinsinang pakiusap.
ENOUGH is enough 8-years na niya tayong pinaikot-ikot like Hon. Lozada till makarating sa Laguna instead sa kanilang haus.
Nakakita ka na ba ng tuta na nauulol bro? Kung di pa eh ang dami niyan sa EK kaya puro pahirap sa bayan at akala mo ang gagaling nila eh wala namang naniniwala na Masang Pinoy sa kanila.
mas palpak ang mga tauhan ni erap at marcos(during his later years)….
napatalsik kasi ang mga boss nila he he he
Marcos thought that he was going to be our leader for life. He failed! Hanggang ngayon ang pobre has not been buried yet. Erap thought that the love of the “masa” will perpetuate his rule kahit na he was missing more elements of a leader na gusto ng mga Pilipino. He too had to go, in shame!
What makes the DOROBO and her ilks think that she will even last up to 2010? When all her sins to the people are now fast unravelling? In denial si DOROBO, BIG TIME! Kahit na ang buong kabinete niya na sagana sa suhulan ay mag-chorus na magsabing silang lahat ay hindi aalis sa tabi niya, they are just but a few! Almost 50000 people (over 10000 in the rally, almost 3000 sa mass ni Cory and 30000 respondents to the “Harapan” -as Lozada indicated “when he faced the MOB” is not a number to ignore!
Her absence in the PMA alumni homecoming spoke volumes of the AFP’s disgust in her activities! The 300 million given to the AFP may not even find its way to even a completion of a single “bird house” for the officers. Ika nga si Lozada, ang pinaka-corrupt daw na sangay ng gobierno ay ang AFP at PNP according to Neri. Obvious ba?
Sawang sawa na ang mga tao kay DOROBO. I can smell her “bloody” end!
Hindi lang palpak ang mga aso ni Gloriang Dorobo. Puro kasinungalingan ang laman ang kanilang utak. Gina-gago nila ang taumbayan.
If the DOROBO did not mess around with Lozada, we probably do not have this “ripe” advantage to oust her. But, God works in mysterious ways, he gave us Lozada, that we may uncover the truth of her rotten governance!
I hope that the next witness to this NBN deal will be as forthright as Lozada. I pray too that the upcoming witness for the “Hello Garci” will be just as credible. But my utmost prayer is for Neri to step up to the plate and reveal “ALL” that he knows.
Neri is so afraid to lose his position, power and compensation. Wala naman siyang anak, “alaga” lang, maybe. Lozada has five younger children but he has to risk the future of his children for the TRUTH! He resigned to bare all. Sana ganyan din si Neri. I am anxiously waiting for the Supreme Court to allow Neri to testify in the Senate. Dito natin makikita kung ang Supreme Court nga ay para sa tao o para sa nakaupong si DOROBO!
LET US ALL PRAY for ALL THE TRUTH TO FINALLY ALL COME OUT!
Continue laughing Appy, jertz or whoever you because your days are numbered!
Close allies of GMA quote her as saying she will not step down punctuated by an “over my dead body” declaration.- E.Maceda (Tribune)
‘Yun naman pala e, tingnan nga natin kung hindi takot mamatay ang babaeng Pidal…sandali na lang!
Hanggang tawa na lang yata si Happy sa mga araw na i-toh!
It could be bloody end if Gloria Dororbo and her loyal generals will fight to the last man standing. Let’s hope that patriotic junior officers and men will neutralize them for good. It reminds me the December 1989 Romanian bloody revolution that overthrown Nicolae Ceausescu. He and wife Elena were executed by firing squad.
BTW maiba ako ng usapan. Anong nangyari doon sa mga mamahaling kotseng na huli sa subic? Specially yong Lamborghini, sinira din ba? I bet meron ng nag mamay-ari kasi di pinakita sa TV na sinira ang mga sinira lang yong mga mumurahin. bakit di pinadaanan sa pison? instead crane ang ginamit.
It seems that Guriang Korap is so sure that her military will defend her kareynahan to the end.
I doubt if her militar will physically confront and hurt the population when the time calls for a decisive unified action against Kwin Korap. Baka magtakbuhan lang ‘yan sa ibang bansa.
happy and jerz: keep going..bigyan ninyo ng masigabong palakpak ang kapalpakan ni GMA. be happy today for tomorrow is another day..and baka mag Gone with the Wind si GMA..and just think Tomorrow, Tomorrow is just a day away.
God works in mysterious ways..join us and be united with us in our prayers for a change..a change of heart for your idol.
Ito ang hirap sa ating bansa, walang takot ang mga kurakot. Tinanggal nila ang death penalty mababa pa ang bayad sa bail. Just imagine mangungurakot ng milyon miliyon pag nahuli ang gagawin pag mumultahin lang ng nasa libo kaya mas dehado parin ang nakurakot nila. pag katapos bibigyan ng leave without pay, ililipat lang ng ibang dept. Ang EK nga talaga parang naglalaro ng baraha babalasahin lang konti ang rehime ayos na ang gusot nakalimutan na ng ibang pilipino lalo na ang kawawa nating mga kapwa mahihirap. Na ang iniintindi lang ay kung pano makahanap ng pambili ng pagkain sa araw araw. wala ng oras makinig or makibalita tungkol sa mga nangyayari sa ating gobyeno. bat pa nila iisipin yon? kumakalam na ang sikmura nya pati na ang mga anak nya at asawa. Kaya yong mga iniisip ng mga nasa EK wala ng paki sa politics ang mga pilipino. ginugutom nila ang ating mga kapatid, kung libre ang pamasahe at merong pagkain sa susunod na rally madaming pupunta sigurado. PERO TAMA NA SOBRA NA!!!
nabasa ko na sa homecoming sa Baguio nagiisa na nag martsa si Sen. Biazon na class ’61..bakit hindi nakadalo ang mga classmates niya..are they afraid to face the truth o ayaw lang nila makita ang mukha ng Corrupt Commander in Chief..sayang kasi hinanap ko ang mukha ng kaibigan ko kasi sa taon na iyon nag graduate..
Natalo sa baskitbol ang mga player ni pandak.Parang laro ng harlem globtrotters against washington general.Iyong dating 3 pointer shooter ni Pandak na si amboy na ka vibes ko sa gapo ay isiniyot iyong bola sa goal ni Lozada,sinupalpal siya ni Jingoy pero counted daw iyong 3 pointer ni Gordon.Si Sisa ay hindi pinaglaro dahil nasingkol ang utak.Iyung abugado ng mga mandurukot na ayaw maglaro ay nagpasikat kay Madrigal ng dribble pero na flagrant foul siya,isa pang foul ay graduate na ang dating player ni Mosqueda,pumalakpak naman si Sandra Cam.Humingi ng time out si Lozada kasi todo bantay si Enrile at minan to man siya at tinanong ni Jun ang coach kung ipapasa ba niya o isiyut ang bola,nasyut ni Jun pagdating ng early second half nasyut ang 3pointer at may foul si tandang dyuni kaya may extra free throw..scorer si Mar Roxas 92-8 ang dinikalara niyang final score.Bagong gupit si Bianzon at blue ang barong ni Pimentel,may butas ang sapatos ni Jamby at may ribbon naman na berde si Zubiri,palakpakan ang mga madre,hinirang si Jun na buhay na martir at bayani.Iyung mga patola ay ayaw tumangap ng commendation awards galing kay Razon.Sumakit ang ulo ng manager ng team na si fatsu at nilabatiba siya ng doctor.
We all know that Gloria and her minions are in panic mood. Of course, they will do their dumbest to try to condition the minds of the people that they are helpless to move because they are not united, etc. etc.
Look at how her brigaders try to infiltrate blogs such as this and harp on he disunity of the Filipinos as she tries hard to rule and divide, even just to insure that the Filipinos will remain divided and not unify against her.
It is the very same system that the Spaniards adopted in the islands during their rule, and the idiot seems to emulate to the extent of imagining herself as queen. The crazy part is she and her husband, who must be crazy like her to act like a queen escort ala Reina Isabella, “spokening Espanol,” and worse, fantasizing that they are descended from saints, rulers and kings! If that is not being mentally ill, what is?
Now, Gloria and her company are shouting disunity, disunity, disunity! Filipinos can never be united? Oh yeah? Just because she has managed to break even the Catholic heirarchy in the Philippines into two, one favoring her and the other not? The one for her getting more money from the Philippine charity and game center in a vain attempt to make the other envious and quit going against her. And she has done it even in the powerful MBC with the Spaniard and American mestisos feted now against the biggies in the Philippine business of Chinese descent.
Ang galing! You bet, sa kahayupan! But now that her fiefdom has been exposed, what should we, concerned Filipinos, ex-Filipinos and simply sympathizers do about this? Sabi nga, nasa kamay na ng lahat ang pagkakataon? Maghihintay pa ba ang pilipino ng mamumuno?
Tama pong isipin na ang ginawa ng Ombudsman ay isang moro-moro, at kasangkapan lamang ito upang magkaroon ng alibi ang sangkot upang hindi na muna magsalita dahil bawal na magsalita kung ang isang kaso ay nasa korte na o sub judice.
Napansin kasi ng mga Spin Doctors ng Malacanang, mas mahirap magsinungaling sa Senado, kaya tatahimik muna silang lahat.
Indeed, God moves in a mysterious way. Funny that another Tsinoy is emerging as another reluctant hero of the still to be seen real Filipino people’s power revolution sans US and foreign intervention. If that happens, Eureka! Mabuhay ang mga pilipino!
PSB,
Is that true? Hindi pa nalibing si Marcos? I read that Imelda and the Marcos children want him buried at the Libingan ng Mga Bayani since he was a former soldier and a war veteran, huwag nang ex-president. I did not know they had not put him to rest in some graveyard yet, temporarily and otherwise.
Masama iyon as a matter of fact. I have read somewhere that when one is not buried properly, his ghost does not leave his body and cannot rest in peace. If so, hindi ba naaawa si Imelda sa asawa na nagdurusa? Somebody should tell her this.
I think the Tsinoys have more respect for the Filipino, than the White Apes, who still think they are far superior than Blacks.
History indicated that they only engaged with the Filipinos thru barter trade and never resorted to invasion or colonization as was done by these Apes.
Rose: ..a change of heart for your idol.

Hindi iyan tinatalaban, Rose, unfortunately! You should listen to anecdotes told by friends and relatives of the Macapagal of how this creep treats the children of his father by his first wife. Hindi nababagbag iyan. May toyo kasi!
Palpak ang mga tauhan ni gloria. Dagdag ko pa mga gunggong at mga tanga.
The gloria boys begin with lies and have to lie to defend their original lies and to the next lies and succeeding lies until lies are all over until mag kabuhol buhol na at magmukha na silang mga gunggong at mga tanga sa kadedepensa sa kanilang mga kapalpakan at mga kasinunglingan.
What a bunch of liars. Ang kakapal ng mga pagmumukha. Akala nila pinapaniwalaan pa sila ng mga tao sa mga sinasabi nila. But if there’s one thing that you can appreciate among these people is their concerted effort to defend the indefensible, covering up crimes of their masters even to the extent of losing their self-respect and looks like stupid and idiots. They thought they have perfected the art of lying and deceptions, yes maybe, but in the end, truth will always find its way out and win over lies just as good over evil.
kaya palpak ang mga tauhan ni gloria kasi puro kasinunglingan ang sinasabi nila, si razon ng pnp habang tumatagal sa kasasalita ng kasinungalingan ay nagiging kamukha ni pinochio!!i do belive that GMA is evil and
FG and GMA are both conjugal evil.. it is now due that this GMA regime must be topple.. it is now time for us to unite.mr lozada opens the gate for us to throw out in the pit this evil GMA and her evil minions!! mabuhay po kayo mr noel lozada!! mabuhay po ang mamamayang pilipino!! God bless!!
Dasal lang talaga, ha Rose? My favorite in the Bible that I always give as an example to encourage people to have more faith in God when they try to do the impossible for the ungrateful is God’s challenge to Abraham when he asked God to spare Sodom and Gomorrah where his favorite nephew resided. God asked Abraham to produce even just 10 residents there to pray to Him and He would spare them. Wala! And so God destroyed them, but if there were ten or even one, He would not.
In other words, number is not the question. It is the faith in God, and the determination to do what is right.
Good thing that Lozada is taking God’s challenge right and good! The Senators questioning him may just as well stop tempting him. Instead, they should follow his examples. Sila rin, baka gabaan sila!
Mas lalong sasakit ang kanilang ulo:
talgang palpak na. yan ang sinasabi, hilong-talilong na ngayon mga alipores ni gloria.
ilang boteng alak kaya ang iniinom na niyan bago makatulog. hahhaha
Gloria and her boys are just criminally unsophisticated! Nagkakalat ng kanilang krimen sa Senado, radio at TV.
Chi,
Spot on!!!!!!
Everytime the Dorobo and her husband get scrutinized and exposed for their illegal, illicit and questionable activities, they always prop up their daughter Luli to try to whitewash their dirty linens in public. Noong una, with all the publicity that the daughter was this and that exemplary, nakakalusot.
The gullible Filipinos for instance believed the publicity stunt that the daughter was shocked to know about the philanderings of her father, etc. etc. and they poured their sympathy on her and her mother. Tumahimik ang mga pilipino sa pagbatikos kay Fatso because “it was hurting the daughter” although the joke about Vicky Toh did not die down.
Nawili naman ang mga ungas. Kaya everytime may issue si Fatso at nanay niya, si Luli, the enfant innocent, ng binabalandra. Matino kuno, hindi abusive, pumipila sa airport. Pinuna ang isang immigration officer na hindi siya binigyan ng VIP treatment. Natanggal ba iyon for not treating her like a princess that he should daw? O loko, imbes na doon sa immigration officer magalit ang mga tao, nakita ngayon di lang kapalpakan ni Luli pati kapangitan niya. Nabistong ipokrita pala!
Pero trying hard pa rin ang mga ungas na through her, masisira ang credibility ni Lozada at maipapalabas niyang na-malign ang tatay at nanay niya.
Nice try, Luli! Laos ka na! Hindi na puede ang trick ninyo. Wala nang naniniwala pati sa iyo!
Scram! Give up na kayo, mga dorobo! Alis D’yan!
Golly naman itong si Cayetano, hindi pa niya sinabi ang pangalan binisto na rin lang naman niya ang dating position ng bagong witness niya! He should provide him with a witness protection something if the said witness cannot afford to have his own private army gaya ni Chavit, who is untouchable.
Taragis ha, parang roaring 20’s USA ang Pilipinas ngayon with the mobs and untouchables!
Re: “Cayetano also said the new witness occupied a government position on the same level as Committee on Higher Education Chair Romulo Neri, who was the socioeconomic planning secretary when the NBN-ZTE deal was approved.”
Was it necessary for Cayetano to announce the next witness? What if this fellow gets kidnapped as well?
Here’s some of that “unmoderated greed”:

That’s the whole idea.
The more this supposed witness felt threatened, the better our chances of getting this witness out.
And to add more pressure to this witness, why don’t we start a “Guessing Game”:
Is this one clue?
same link as above.
Remember, it was his father who complained about “payola” for every Commission on Appointments approval.
Iyong sumulat kay Ellen previously, hindi ba iyon ang witness ni Cayetano?
A prayer for the Filipino People,
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
“Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
May we all become children of light just like Lozada, Joey etc. and expose the shameful, secret deeds of the children of darkness.
YES WE CAN WITH JESUS!!!
NEW PHILIPPINES ’08
Personally, I would like the identity of the next witness concealed until the Senate has secured that person. The DOROBOs have shown that they can silence anyone and everyone. Lozada outsmarted them but the next witness may not. Look at Neri. Hindi mo malaman kung natatae, may pigsa sa puwit o nakakita ng multo. Because everything he does is under surveillance. I bet you even his bedroom is bugged by now! Baka pati yung kanyang toilet ay may surveillance camera baka nga naman mai-flush yung microchip containing all his exposes.
Maganda yung mag-resign muna tapos mag-expose. This way wala ng saklaw ang EO 464 o ano pa mang che che bureche para hindi magapagsalita ang witness. All these witnesses should keep records of all the questionable dealings of the DOROBOs including recorded conversations, memos,names and dates of occurences of the illegal transactions. Everything that can be put in one tiny dvd. Make as many copies as possible to be distributed to a lawyer, a priest, a trusted member of the family and keep the original in a safe place possible. Kahit na hanapin ng mga “aso” ni dorobo lahat ng pwedeng pagtaguan, walang makakaalam nito kundi yung witness lang. Lozada and Neri apparently had this kind of insurance because they documented their expose before the senate summoned them. It is just an insurance but it may well be the life saver of any witness whose life may be threatened.
“The more this supposed witness felt threatened, the better our chances of getting this witness out.” Sumpit
Is that what Cayetano has in mind? To force the witness out? If so, it indicates that the witness is not prepared to go public at all.
I don’t know if that’s the right thing to do — to virtually divulge info on the supposed witness publicly. It’s really just short of identifying the witness by name.
What worries me is that Gloria, Ermita and a couple of other people around Gloria gets to identify the supposed cabinet member through sheer process of elimination and then order his kidnapping, abduction, or whatever.
Parasabayan — I agree with you entirely.
I wonder why Cayetano felt the need to sort of “tip” the public about this surprise witness? I’m not imputing something sinister in Cayetano’s act, merely wondering if he has not in fact made a tactical mistake…
Is that what Cayetano has in mind? To force the witness out? If so, it indicates that the witness is not prepared to go public at all.- adebrux
Actually, prior to this, Arch. Cruz indicated that this witness is confiding with him for some time now, on what to do.
He added that this witness is willing to come out “in due time”.
On Neri — based on my latest readings, I don’t think he is redeemable.
Neri has dug himself a hole so deep, I don’t believe he’ll be able to do a volte face anymore or get out of it anymore. He’s in that hole forever, it’s his graveyard and his tombstone should read:
“Here lies half a man so coward and who is best left forgotten!”
The man is a goner. He’s a coward of the really ignoble variety. In my book, as things stand, he is unredeemable. What an absolutely, incredibly, utterly disgusting persona!
Good to know that Sumpit. I hope he’s getting protection because if the Malacanang Mafiosi get to him, he will be a cold turkey.
DOROBOs cabinet men (78 of them) must already have all their phones bugged, cars followed and spy cameras installed in all likely places to catch the middleman who is arranging the senate expose.
Anna,
I think so, too. The way he sounded yesterday isn’t that of someone who was willing to sacrifice personal comforts for patriotic duty. But something he said yesterday made me realize he is still in the pre-enlightenment stage similar to what Lozada experienced before that presscon in La Salle. Neri said he has several death threats and he thanks his personal security aides as well as those provided by PNP.
The “brainless scholar” believes the threats are actually coming from outside. He knows for sure this was Lozada’s experience prior to testifying in the Senate. It’s either he has been brainwashed into thinking Arroyo’s enemies are out to get him when it is Arroyo’s camp that will gain most should he be liquidated. I also think that yesterday’s presscon was synchronized with Madrigal’s questioning to prevent Neri from hearing the discussions on his personal life. Neri was purposely shielded from making a deep introspection that might lead to his turning around.
I hope he experiences the same realization that occured to Lozada in La Salle and decide to end his predicament once and for all and liberate himself from the forces of “EVIL”. The problem with Neri is that his sexuality and preferences in that regard are prohibited by his religion, the irredeemability of his morality sinks him further into the dark abyss.
I like what Lacson said, “If you turn your back towards the shadows of darkness, you will truly see the light”. Something like that.
The cabinet-rank witness is not a surprise at all. It’s easy to read that this guy is also a politician who knows that there is still his political-life to look after, after Gloria is dead and gone.
Down the last stretch before the finish line, expect the likes of Atienza, Andaya, Ermita, Bunye and the others who need congress and their congressmen friends to save them from the slammers, will all dump Gloria like fresh dung.
Tongue,
Let’s hope hsi guardina angel jolts him. If Neri can spill all and tell all, then Gloria is a goner.
Whether we like it or not, will be so much easier to indict Gloria Macapagal-Pidal if Neri testifies against her.
However, I’m doubtful he’ll be able to muster enough courage to get out of the hole he’s dug himself. He’s in it too deeply. It will take a hero’s courage to extricate the potentially “brave Neri” from the “dastardly coward Neri”.
Really? Then my bet is Rolly Andaya!
Anna,
The administration is starting to make their move, you’ll notice the demands for “paper trail” and the deluge of affidavits. If we listen to these a-holes, no one can speak the truth unless it is defined in affidavits, thats why these people can get away with anything nowadays – they use legality to create the illusion of truth.
I really pray that these cabinet members look beyond “political life” and at life itself. They should know that politics is not their whole life, they are also fathers, brothers, mentors, and neighbors.
If the Supreme Court will allow Neri to testify anew in the Senate, he can not do what he is doing now with the media. He will be under oath then. I am looking forward to the Supreme Court oral hearing. I believe it will be on the 5th of March. We need to pray for the justices who will make the big decision to allow Neri to bare it all!
Anna, if it is Andaya, I won’t be surprised! Baka nagkaroon na ng rift sila ni Villafuerte.
It just amuses me, not that I am being regionalistic coz that’s beside the point (kahit kakahiya na ang mga nangyayari.) Lozada, Joker, Salceda, Villafuerte, Andaya, Atutubo — they’re all Bicolanos!!! hahahha. Buti naman may checks and balances…..
As a Bicolana myself….and was just talking to my brother in Bicol this morning: most, if not all Bicolanos are mad as hell at Joker!!!. They are on the side of Lozada, who was willing to take the lie detector test, compared to the grumbling Abalos. Funny thing is: Panelo is also a Bicolano!
Nakupo!!! hahahha. I remember, as an aside, Panelo’s late father was a perpetual presidential candidate sa Naga City nun!
Anyway, that’s from me… 🙂
Jug, that is their edge. The DOROBOS can ante-date, post date or generate any form of documentation to make the semblance of legality. I can see where the witnesses may get the shorter end of the stick.
Naku Myrna, di ba si Andaya is with Budget and also a former congressman? After reading Tongue’s post, I can’t help but be convinced that it could only be Andaya. (Budget Management Office has literally both hands in the nation’s kitty.)
Sinabi mo pa, PSB, Gloria is so power-hungry that you bet your bottom dollar she must be ordering her erstwhile assistants, Ermita, Bunye, Esperon, et al (parang nagtawag ng mga santo), even her berdugo, like Palparan, now to liquidate the next witness and silence him/her forever, or they suffer the same faith. Parang woman scorned nga, or better still ‘yong evil queen in those enchanted tales that wants to be the fairest and most powerful of them all.
Tignan ninyo nga ang ambition, trying to make the Philippines one of the G-countries, economically powerful (kuno) with nothing but laway and utang, and yes, manpower to pimp overseas!!!
Tongue na (excuse the expression), papaanong nakakalusot iyan sa mga economic analyst overseas? Kahapon nga some idiot in New York was praising her economic policy, dinaig pa si Dubya. Paying off iyong binayad sa publicity agent, no doubt!
Golly naman, kahit sinong idiot cannot live on nothing! Kaya nga umaalis na lang ang mga pilipino para may makain! Ang nakakapagtaka bakit yumayaman ang mga dayuhan gaya ni Vivien Yuchengco sa Pilipinas pero ang mga pilipino? Unbelievable. Dapat Filipino first—iyong tsarat ang ilong!
Jug,
This country is so steep in legalism that any 2-bit lawyer will grow rich just making affidavits!
….ang mga pilipino HINDI?….
parasabayan,
I’m expecting that scenario anytime soon. Unless more people within the circle come out and more outrage is generated. This may not be won within the context of legal procedures but in the political arena.
Adebrux: This country is so steep in legalism that any 2-bit lawyer will grow rich just making affidavits!
*****
Sinabi mo pa, Anna. I had a cousin who never defended anybody in court, etc. But he got rich merely doing notary and producing affidavits, supposedly statements said under oath, but affiants lying nevertheless! 😛
‘Neri said Arroyo is evil!’
However, Neri who seems to be suddenly afflicted with temporary amnesia alleges that he doesn’t recall describing Macapagal evil but he remembers telling Lozada to “moderate the greed” of some persons involved in the ZTE deal, but he said what he meant was to “look for ways to bring down the project cost.”
What an absolute do-lally! (And that’s in no way a compliment!)
(Yuko, sorry to ask again but I keep forgetting, what does PALPAK mean again? – Thanks.)
Jug,
You bet. Ang daming lawyer pero walang magawa….until now maybe! I cannot help feeling hopeful and imbibed with the likes of Harry Roque, et al, coming out and offering free services and pursuing cases like those of Jocjoc Bolante for national honor and even conscience.
I was happy in fact when I heard of the IBP joining the “kalogs” last Friday and swinging to the Queens’ “We oust, we oust you, Gloria!
Yehey! I also heard, human right lawyer and former ICJ Judge Romy Capulong, too, on radio last week in connection with the Lozada hearing. Bilib nga ako sa tapang ng mga iyan, for I tell you, the threat on their lives are true. Atty. Capulong for instance has had his house zoned. Some men in uniform came to their house one day and they were believed to be there on order to “salvage” him. Buti na lang, he was in Manila dahil kadadating lang niya from Japan after attending a conference on Iraq.
I bet you, may mga ganyan threat din si Atty. Roque, et al. Pero sabi nga, kung hindi pa nila oras, they are here to stay, fighting the devil woman and her evil regime!
Malapit na, Just you wayt!
Anna,
Palpak is “inutile” (lacking in utility or serviceability; not useful). It can also be “kaput, failure” soon to be incapacitated or destroyed.
Palpak talaga ang mag aliporess ni Gloria dahil Utak Langgam sila sa pag gawa ng mabuti. Pero utak elepante naman sa pag gawa ng kasamahan.
Kita ninyo ang sagot ni Neri na hindi niya matandaan kung nasabi niya na si Gloria ay isang “EVIL”. Ibig sabihin ay totoong nag sasabi si Lozada sa mga kuwento niya. Dahil kung hindi mo talaga sinabi iyun ay unang sasabihin mo ay wala akong binanggit na ganoon or hindi ko sinabi iyun. KAso ang sagot ni Miss Neri ay hindi ko matangdaan kung nasabi ko iyun????. Ano kaya ang alas na pinag hahawakan ng Malancanyang kay Neri at hindi makapag salita.
Anna,
We all know that when Evie, as in evil woman, faced the camera then re the Garci tapes, and said, “lapse of judgment, she was reading a written script. Nerissa, no doubt, was made to memorize the same script, but for want of originality, he said, “I can’t remember!” Kaso hindi kasing quotable ng “lapse of judgment!” 😛
Vonjovi2: Ano kaya ang alas na pinag hahawakan ng Malancanyang kay Neri at hindi makapag salita.
*****
Sabi ng staff ko, baka may kinalaman kay IpDye. Pero sabi ko, “Ano? Don’t tell kaya hindi siya makaalis kasi gusto rin niyang maging kabit ni IpDye?” Susmaryosep!
Grizzy,
Ako na lang kaya ang mag sakripisyo at kung puwede ay ipakilala ako ni Ellen kay Ms. Neri. Medyo mas may itsura naman ako kahit papaano at malaki ang ?? at baka magustuhan ako ni Ms. Neri pero sasabihin ko sa kanya na tinaya ko ang pagkalalaki ko kaya kailangan ay mag salita na siya. Puwede kaya iyun para kahit papaano ay makakatulong ako sa bayan natin. Nakakasuka na ang ginagawa nila at wala na tayong maaasahan sa AFP at PNP natin. 🙂
Re: “Neri admits telling Lozada to “moderate greed” but saying what he meant was “look for ways to bring down the project cost.”
He’s shitting himself all over. He defines “moderate the greed” as ““look for ways to bring down the project cost.”
Buhol buhol na ang dila nitong lukaret na Neri!
Buhol buhol na ang dila nitong lukaret na Neri sa pagsisinungaling!
Baka maputol and dila niya!
“Boncodin resigns as Petron exec amid ZTE mess” – GMA News report
Sana sumunod na yong iba.
The way this Pidal family has been operating is really really really very mafia like.
I am just so amazed at how they partitioned territories to all their capo di tuti!
Mga walanghiya! Maski ang aso may sense of honou but these mafiosi family is just too much.
Dapat diyan na St Valentine’s (remember the Mafia massacre of the same tag?)
ace, good news!!!!
Anna,
Right now the name of the game is “PSYWAR”.
To reinforce his hollow rhetoric (“moderate the greed”), Neri announces the most incredible statement:
“To me, the President will have to lead in this whole reform process and I have hope the President will be able to do it.”
He can’t be serious! Did he really believe that a woman steep in immorality and who is dung-deep in corruption could lead the “reform process?”
Neri is barking mad!
Anna,
Sorry about the report, GMA News corrected itself…
“In an interview with GMANews.TV, Boncodin said she remains an executive of Petron, contrary to an earlier report by dzBB that she resigned after urging former socioeconomic secretary Romulo Neri to “tell all” about the controversial $329.48-million national broadband network project with ZTE Corp.”
Ayyyye! Bad news!
(Heheheh!)
Neri said, ““I feel comfortable enough … my movements are free but of course I also have to consider safety. I can’t be too open all the time,” and added, “I’m happy with my guards.”
Siguro guwapo iyong mga guard niya!
Heh,heh,heh…Anna siempre si DOROBO has to make Neri happy, di ba? She probably picked the handsomest guards for Neri para at least kahit na papaano, masaya siya kahit panandalian man lang!
Anna: Neri is barking mad!
*****
Ang sabihin mo tarantado na talaga. O naloko na sa takot!!! Golly, iyong bantay na doon sa interview, dalawa! Ang lilisik pa ng mga mata kasi may damocles sword rin siguro sa mga ulo.
Pag-asa na lang siguro ng mga pilipino, magdasal na iligtas na sila ng Panginoon, na bumagsak na iyong evil woman gaya noon sa pelikulang Enchanted from her high tower!
Si St. Jun Lozada bihisan ng shining armor! OK?
Yuko,
Nahilo na talaga ang duwag! Siguro pag kinurot iyan sa singit, baka himatayin!
Golly, iyong litrato ni Neri sa Inquirer mukhang takot na takot! Mukhang dumaan ng water treatment. Namumula ang mga mata, di ba? Pinagsisigawan siguro ni Evie Dorovobitch, et al. Parang katulad noong ginagawa ng mga kano doon sa mga nakakulonog sa Guantanamo. Kung napanood niya iyong Rendition, talagang matatakot siya! Reign of Terror, literal na!
Know why Yuko? He knows he’s the next victim of the Malacanng vampires! Sucking every drop of his blood and when Gloria vampire is through with him, he would be Neri no more.
OK, gotta hit the sack — see you folks.
Imagine a naked Neri na pinapainom ng tubig tapos sinisigawan ni Gloria Dorobo, “Sinabi mo bang “Evil Woman” si Ma’m? Sinabi mo ba? Magtapat ka?”
Sagot naman ni Neri, “Ma’m di ko sinasadya. Huwag po kayong magalit. Give me one more chance. Di na po ako uulit. Peks man po!”
“OK, ngayon lang pagbibigyan kita, pero next time ulitin mo, tepok ka na. Meanwhile, magpapa-press con ako. Pag hindi mo nakumbinsi ang mga tanga na hindi mo sinabing evil ako, ipapatepok na talaga kita!”
O di another photo-op! Parang “The Rest of the Story”!
Kapag may baho kang itinatago lahat ay gagawin mo para pagtakpan. Ang kaso iyong mga napag-utosan ay over-acting naman. Gustong magpasikat kay E-P para ma-good pero pumapalpak naman. Ipinapakita ng karansang ito na hindi natutulog ang Diyos. Unti-unti nang nabubulgar ang lahat ng baho at evil ways ng mga dorobos. Dahil sa ipinamalas ng mga kababayan natin na galit at pagtutol sa pagnanakaw, pangungurakot, at panlalamang ng mga dorobos sa bayan, may mga matitino pang opisyales ng bayan natatauhan na at gustong lumantad upang isiwalat ang lahat na kanilang nalalaman for justice to take its course. Kailangan lang ang pagkakaisa ng bayan para sila suportahan at lalo pang pag-ibayuhin ang mga panawagan para sa pagbaba ng lahat nang mga nasa puwesto na sangkot sa kontrobersiyang ito. Iyon nga lamang, ang mga “evil ones” ay may nakita na namang paraan para makalusot, ang Korte mismo para hindi na sila humarap pa sa Senado. Pero kung ito man ang iniisip nila, hindi pa rin sila lusot. Ang taong bayan ay sawa na, enough is enough. Kagaya rin ng isang bulkan, sasabog at sasabog din ang ngitngit ng bayan para lipulin ang mga masasamang elemento ng bayan. Sa tulong ng Diyos, darating din tayo diyan; ang pagkakaisa ng lahat ng mga sektor ng lipunan upang igupo ang mapang-api at dorobong sestimang ito. Kumilos at manindigan!
You bet, traydor iyan. This evil woman does not forget, just takes time when she can strike. I don’t even believe that she trusts even herself! Bwahahaha!
Takot nga pati mga magulang niya sa kaniya, I am told. Sunod na sunod ang layaw. Iyon ngang mga sariling kapatid tinakot. Hindi na tuloy tumakbo!

Maganda ang sinabi ni Lozada sa pagkakaisa, not exactly this but something like “papaanong magkakaisa, hindi dahil sa ayaw nila kundi walang magandang pamumuno na magbubuklod sa kanila!” —dahil ginawa silang mangmang, dukha at sadlak sa dusa!!!
Can’t help shedding a tear or two hearing him and the people a the mass at Ateneo sing “Bayan Ko.”
Mr. Lozada, thank you! You have just shown leadership there a a matter of fact!
Napansin din ba ninyo na kung anu-anong isyu ang inilalabas para mapagtakpan itong si Lozada? Tignan ninyo:
1. Biglaang nagdesisyon ang Supreme Court tungkol sa Hello Garci, e tatlong taon nang natulog yung kaso. Mabuti naman at hanggang ngayon walang kumagat na patugtugin ngayon dahil baka matabunan si Lozada.
2. Bigla na naman sanang nabuhay ang Charter Change, buti na lang hindi rin pinatulan kundi mawawala na naman ang focus sa ZTE.
3. Pagkatapos mahimbing ang mga kaso ng Hello Garci at ZTE sa Ombudsman, eto’t nagkukumahog na makisawsaw sa kasikatan ni Lozada. Sigurado akong walang mangyayaring tama diyan kay Gutierrez dahil ang gusto lang naman nila ay inisin si Lozada at patahimikin. As usual, diversionary tactic lang naman ito. Parang yung Comelec Computerization yan – merong krimen pero walang kriminal
Nung September, matapos lumabas si JDV3 tungkol sa eskandalo ng ZTE eto naman ang mga nangyari:
1. Biglang ipinagbawal nang mag-hearing sa selda ni Trillanes. Ginagalit nila ang mga tao noon para mapunta kay Trillanes ang atensiyon.
2. Nagresign si Abalos – pero indefinite leave lang talaga. Panloloko lang.
3. Nagfile ng TRO laban sa muling pagbubukas ng Hello Garci probe sa Senado. Ibinalibag ito ng Supreme Court papuntang Pasig River.
4. Naglabas na naman ng intelligence report si Esperon na may coup d’etat na namumuo. Gaya ng dati, si Esperon lang ang naniwala sa sariling imbensiyon. Maging si Yano, duda. Palipad lang pala para humingi ng extension sa retirement ang Tuta Mayorsa AFP.
5. Sinakyan ng husto ang insidente ng Desperate Housewives upang mabaon na sa limot ang ZTE. Nagwagi na naman ang mga hunghang dahil marami ang pumatol.
6. Sinampahan ni Atty. Pulido si Gloria ng 3-pahinang “sham” impeachment kung saan mas maraming pahina ang binanatan si Joe De Venecia kesa kay Gloria, sinampahan din niya ng kaso si JDV, jr. sa Ethics Committee ng Batasan. Madrama pa kuno ang pagpasa ni JDV nito sa Committee on rules na kinagat naman ng media.
7. Pupusan din ang komite ni Miriam sa pagtuligsa sa JPEPA, nakakuha naman ng magandang coverage sa media nung nagdramahan pa nga sila ni Carague.
8. Nagkaabutan ng kwartang nasa paper bags at dito naagaw nila ang atensiyon ng taumbayan ng iskandalong nilikha nun lalo na nang aminin ni Fr. Panlilio na nagkabigayan nga. Mainit ang isyu, mukhang nakalimutan na ang ZTE. Civil war na nga raw sabi ni Gen. Dolorfino.
9. Hindi pa nagkasya, ibinulong pa kay Biazon na may 40 sundalo ang nakakulong ng walang kaso sa Aguinaldo. Siyempre ginagatungan talaga para maextend si Esperon.
10. Lalong uminit ang isyu ng lagayan sa Malacañang, pero hindi pa nakakahinga ang taumbayan, pinasabog ang Glorietta. Alam naman kung sino ang may pakana nun, kung anuano pang panlilinlang ang ginawa.
11. Nanawagan ng snap elections ang mamamayan. Idinaan ito sa mga blogs.
12. Pati painting ng National Press Club, hindi pinatawad. Na-sensor!
13. Pinalaki ang isyu ng Manila Pen kung saan siniguro nilang matatali ang media sa isyung malaki ang nakataya sa kanilang propesyon. Nakalimutan na bang tuluyan ang NBN-ZTE?
14. Nung mukhang maiipit na ang gobyerna sa isyu laban sa press, pinasabugan ng motorsiklong may nakakabit na rehistro ang isang motor sa Batasan. Malaking isyu na naman. Tapos nun, sa kawalan ng mga isyung masasakyan, patuloy na laman ng headlines ang laban ng press kontra sa PNP.
15. Buong Disyembre, nakalimutan yata ang politika. Maliban sa atras abanteng pagpalaya kay Jalosjos at parinig ni Esperon ng extension.
16. Pagpasok ng bagong taon, tsismis naman ang ipinakalat ng PNP at ni Gonzales na namimingwitlang naman para pag-awayin ang mga taga-media, muntik pang masabit si Ellen, Ces Drilon, at Dana Batnag.
17. Sinipa si Speaker De Venecia sa pag-uudyok ng mga anak ni Pandak at pinalitan ni Nograles.
Tuluyan na talagang nalimutan ang ZTE-NBN broadband deal ng parang hulog ng langit na dumating si Jun Lozada at “ipinasyal” ng mga di kilalang lalaki.
Grabe ang propaganda ng Malacañang. Tignan ninyo ang isyu, halos linggo-linggo merong bago!
Simula yan nung September nung ibinulgar ni JDV3 yung tungkol sa “Mystery Man”.
tongue,
Thank you very much for recording these things. I cut and paste it for future reference, one thing thats missing is a list of names of tongressmen, governors, and mayors who have been supporting Gloria, add priests and bishops too. There is always a day of reckoning…
Kaya nga sabi ko, Tongue, huwag tigilan. Sabi ko may hihirit, may humirit nga. Ginamit na naman si Yuko para iyong usapan masira dahil umiinit na! This time, mukhang tuloy-tuloy na! Ano bang title doon sa nangyari kay JLo? Accidental Hero!
Golly, marami pala talagang mga matitino sa DFA ang lumalayas na, sadyang napapa-assign sa ibang bansa, tapos biglang magre-resign. Hindi na raw makatiis sa mga kawalanghiyaan.
Mas lalo daw nakakangitngit iyong mga bagong appointees ni dorobo sa mga departments na nagsisiga-sigaan. Kabago-bago daw, naglalakihan ang mga binibiling bahay. Wow! Iyong ayaw mahawa ng corruption, no choice daw but to quit. Iyong matapang ang apog, OK na lang. Makisawsaw na sa nakaw!!!
Padagundungin ang daluyong ng Masa harangan man ng pader itoy sasambulat.
Magorganisa..magtipon…bumuo…MARTSA…MARTSA…MARTSA.
Enjoy..enjoy.. sarap mag rally.
OO nga Yuko, panay ang bili ng mga cabinet members ni DOROBO ng mga multi million pesos (over 50 million) para sa mga kulasisi nila. Easy money kasi eh. Kaya nga ayaw sumama sa moral revolution. Malaki ang mawawala sa kanila. Sayang yung power, money at siyempre yung SEX!
When this Jlo movement succeeds on unseating the Dorobo, you can bet your bottom dollar, balimbingan na naman.
I can’t help being puzzled in fact by Enrile’s insistence to find out if JLo has contacts in the military. Ano bang gusto niyang ipalabas?
PSB,
Over in the Land of the Rising Sun, despite the notoriety of Japanese sex tours overseas, over here, when an official, elected or bureaucrat, of the government is caught with a “kabit,” he/she is charged with immorality and immeidately terminated. Iyong karamihan just tender resignation para hindi na lumaki pa ang gulo at ma-scandalized.
Sa Pilipinas, my golly, ipinaglalandakan pa. Iyong babae, papungay-pungay pa ng mata. I wonder kung sinasakluban niya ng panty ang ulo sabay takip sa mga mata nila ng pera iyong mga kalaguyo niya para hindi na lang mapansin ang kapangitan niya. Yikes!
Gago talaga itong mga tuta ni Dorobo. Half a million ang binigay kay JLo, hindi daw suhol. E ano? Tulong lang daw sa isang in distress? Oh yeah?
Sinong niloloko ng mga gunggong na ito? Iyong ngang mga umuuwing terminal cases na mga OFW hindi makakuha ng tulong benefit sa ibinayad nilang OWWA fund, iyong pang si JLo na kahit papaano may pera naman na nauubos na nga lang nang sabihan siyang magtago muna.
Ulol! Neknek nila! Bistado na sila. Sabi nga, lumang script na. Wala nang bumibili! Running out of gimmicks na si Gaga! Quit! Baba na, puede ba?
grizzy,
Sino ba naman ang hindi magdududa? May pattern, 500K yata ang SOP pag may bigayan?
Hindi ako nagsasawa sa kapapanood sa video (via GMA News) tungkol kay Lozada..and mas lalo kung nakikita ang tunay niyang pagmamahal sa bayan at sa kanyang kaibigan Neri..Just to share these (from a Decalogue of Spirituality
for Non Violent Peacemaking)
5. To face fear and to deal with it not mainly with courage but with love.
8. To be ready to suffer, perhaps even with joy, if we believe this will help liberate the Divine in others.
Ito ang nakikita ko sa katauhan ni Lozada at sa mga detained officers and soldiers..and lalo ako na pahanga ng nabasa ko ang sabi ni Lozada na nangamba at nag alala siya sa buhay ni Neri..kasi under the custody ngadm..pambihirang tao talaga..
From a poem pf a South African artist and activist..
..Now is the time
To commence the litany of hope
Now is the time.
Common sense lang naman. Bakit naman magbibigay ng kusa si Gaite ng half a million pesos kay JLo para lang panggastos lang at tulong lang daw. Piso, piso baka may maniwala pa, pero half a million pesos, Wow! Super pilantropo na iyan! How magnanimous! ‘Lol! Sabi nga ng kapatid ko, “Lokohin mo ang lelong mong panot, Gaite!”
Jug,
Tama ka. Iyan ang standard. I heard it from one of the Dorobo’s horses’ (actually, tao) mouth. Sabi noong kasama ni Manny Pacquiao na promoter, maliit daw ang 500K na hinihingi ni IpDye for every game that they run or play. Sabi nga niya, sobra daw talaga ang ganid, but alang magagawa kailangan makisama. “Siyimpri, Ma’m, ayaw mu namang mawala ang nigusyu mu! May prutiksyun man gid! Imbes na magbayad ng tax, kikil na lang,” he said.
From the Brother Visitor Br. Edmundo L. Fernandez FSC, on the Lozada Case
Chronology of Events
LSGH Brothers’ Community as Sanctuary for the Lozada Family
13 February 2008
We wish to offer you this narration of facts concerning the De La Salle Brothers’ role in providing
sanctuary to the family of Mr. Rodolfo Noel (“Jun”) Lozada in order to dispel any questions
that may remain unanswered as a result of inadequate media reporting and/or half-truths being
propagated by officials who purport to know the facts. These, then are the facts:
06 January 2008, Sunday
The Lozada couple asked if they could seek sanctuary in the school for the safety of their children if the need should arise.
30 January 2008, Wednesday
Mrs. Violet Lozada called Br. Felipe in his office around 11 AM and temporarily entrusted the four Lozada boys who are students of La Salle Green Hills to the care of the Brothers. She picked them up in the afternoon of the same day.
04 February 2008, Monday
Mrs. Lozada called Br. Felipe requesting the Brothers to take care of the family. She came late in the afternoon after fetching her daughter from her school. The family spent the night in the Brothers’ House. Carmen, Jun’s eldest sister, arrived in the Brothers’ House around 9:30 pm
05 February 2008, Tuesday
Around 5:00 pm
Mrs. Violet Lozada reported that Jun Lozada was “missing”. She was distraught the whole time while calling relatives and the media to help in the search for her husband. Two trusted Religious Sisters came early evening to comfort her and her children
Around 9:00 pm
Br. Felipe contacted Mr. Mike Enriquez, an alumnus of La Salle Green Hills and newscaster of GMA 7, to inform him that the Brothers were providing sanctuary to the family of Jun Lozada. The call to Mike Enriquez was made in confidence.
Around
10:15 pm
Carmen called up Br. Felipe and told him Jun Lozada will arrive in La Salle Green Hills with the police.
Around
10:30 pm
Jun Lozada arrived in a police vehicle with the markings Police Security Protection Office accompanied by Col. Mascarinas and about six (6) other policemen. Only the driver was in police uniform. Carmen and Br. Felipe met Jun Lozada at the entrance of the Central House of the Brothers. Immediately Jun, Carmen and Br. Felipe went up to the Brothers’ House. Col. Mascarinas went up the Brothers’ House and left shortly after. Jun Lozada embraced Br. Felipe and said, “Brother, it was a close call. I’m just so glad I’m alive.” Carmen called Violet and Jun embraced her in the corridor of the cloister in the Brothers’ House. The children also kissed and embraced their father.
Around
10:45 pm
Col. Mascarinas talked with Br. Felipe and told him that he does not want media to know that Jun Lozada is in LSGH. Br. Felipe walked towards Gate 7 followed by a policeman and called the guard stationed at Gate 2. Br. Felipe gave instructions not to allow anyone to enter the campus, especially media, without his knowledge

Felipe in the elevator lobby of the Brothers’ Community. Jun Lozada and the Senator talked in the herbal garden of the community in the 3rd floor.
Br. Felipe requested Col Mascarinas to move to the Lanai in the 2nd floor of the Central House

Around 2:00 am
A press conference was held at the National Shrine of the Divine Child of LSGH.
We remain committed to supporting Mr. Lozada in his desire to speak out the truth. We uphold his right
to speak the truth as he sees it or as he has experienced it. We are not in a position to judge the veracity
of what he has presented or will continue to present as his testimony. That is for the proper investigating
bodies to determine. Our only concern, as Christians and as religious, is to make it possible for this Filipino
citizen to speak his truth without intimidation or any form of harassment.
As we would for any persons who perceive that their lives are in imminent danger, we are committed to
providing sanctuary and a safe abode for Mr. Lozada’s family. We believe this to be our duty as Christians
and as religious.
Br. Edmundo L. Fernandez FSC
Brother Visitor
Rose,
The truth is I have a testimony that the antidote for evil is love that is why Christ could say that when someone slaps us in the cheek, we give the other cheek during one of His sermons. He knew we would find it difficult to follow this admonition of His, but it does work but not to one possessed of the devil I guess!
Kindness and love are not the kind of things that should be poured upon the Dorobo. No effect iyan because as Neri now denies he said it, Gloria Makapal-gal Dorobo is EVIL!
Love works in JLo in fact. This miracle that we have seen lately was in fact the result of JLo’s love for his family, and vice-versa. The kind of unity, affection, etc. he has with his siblings is really amazing. God has surely blessed them because they have love for one another. God is love, sabi nga!
Thanks for the chronology, rr. We’d all better cut and paste and keep such information in our file. Mahirap na, baka pa kasi maretoke noong mahilig magparetoke.
I also think Neri is fast becoming irrelevant.
Tanong nga ni Boncodin, “Why are you doing this to yourself? ‘di ka ba naawa sa sarili mo?”
Ang ganda ng production si DOROBO! Lahat ng kanyang cabinet members ay may photo ops! Magkano kaya ang talent fee ng bawat isa? One million o tig fifty million pambili ng mansion ng mga querida ng iba sa mga “actors”. Sige lang. Show of force daw kuno o show of “suhol” power is more like it!
PSB:
Bulok na ang gimmick nila. Siguro in desperation pag nagpadala pa ng feeders sa mga dyaryo sinasamahan pa ngayong ng 5 to 500K, may kasama pang note, “Pangkape!”
Don’t be surprised if one day you hear the Fatso telling his dorobo wife and partner to give the media a party at Malacanang complete with the pabaon—free food packs and money envelopes. Iyong matitino huwag kakain kasi baka lagyan ng cantaridas para umamo sila!
Kunyari pa iyong morally retarded na mataba na hidi siya bothered na hindi siya puedeng magsampa ng libel suit laban kay JLo kundi halata siya. Si Abaloslos nga looking like the big loser that he is kasi. No effect iyong panakot niya kay JLo. Huhuhuhuhu! ;-(
…na HINDI siya bothered…
parasabayan,
malamang 500,000 ang talent fee ng mga yan. habit na kase nila ang pamumumudmod ng kalahating milyon.
May lalabas na bagog witness daw sa hello Garci, yung pulis na kasama sa nag-switch ng election returns sa congress.
The guessing game is on as to who the next witness is going to be. Were Cayetano and Archbishop Cruz talking about the same person?
Though, Neri appears to have lost every bit of credibility he has, I’m having this gut feeling that both are talking about Neri himself.
Looking at Neri from Jun Lozada’s perspective, I would still give him the benefit of the doubt. Neri’s answers to yesterday’s questions are worth pondering on:
Asked if he called Arroyo evil, he said he can’t remember calling her that. If he gave a categorical denial, I’d say, he’s beyond redemption.
Pressed to come up with a description of Arroyo, he merely said, he believed there’s still hope- completely evading the question.
Neri would indeed pale in comparison to Lozada in terms of courage. But, who knows? Pressure comes in many forms, visible or otherwise. There may be a gun pressed against Neri’s temple and we don’t even see it.
Ka ENchong:
I’m intrigue what kind of gun is it?
“Asked if he called Arroyo evil, he said he can’t remember calling her that. If he gave a categorical denial, I’d say, he’s beyond redemption.” – Ka Enchong
Maybe, just maybe, one of this days Neri will testify in the Senate and utter these words : “Yeah, now I remember calling her evil”.
sumpit,
You’re naughty query reminds me of what my misguided senior makes me recite a long time ago when he’d say number 1 – I’d blurt out “this is my bolo and this is my gun, this is for killing and this is for fun!”
ace,
I think so too. Lacson and Madrigal will surely help him remember.
jugg,
or maybe he will utter these words: ” I never called her evil, I said devil”.
jugg:
I think i have my answer.
I wonder if you were into juggling too, then, with those stuffs.
ace:
Suddenly “remembering” is probably the only way out for Neri. If and when he eventually admits to calling Aling Gloria “evil”, he can always say “I did not lie, I simply forgot”.
SumpPit:
The kind of gun that must be kept away from public view – pang “private” lang, hehehe.
ka enchong,
Agree. Pang private view lang. I wonder why Filipinos have this penchant for green humor. Just two weeks ago, one colonel was caught watching porno on his laptop during a speech (or was it lecture) by a general (Esperon or someone else) in Mindanao. We had a good laugh when we found out who that was, all except the general of course.
[ZTE] GMA7 tuta ng Malacañang? MikeDefensor nagsinungaling!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MhUoOpAtBs
Lumalalim na ang mga wrinkles at bumibilis ang lagok ng syoktong ni Lola Basyang. Parang trumpo ang puwit ng mga alipores, anong gagawin natin baka may biglang bumaligtad sa mga guwardiya sibil tagilid tayo.!
Ang lahat ng kabuktutan ay may hangganan! iyan ang batas ng Diyos..!
You, guys, puro kayo pusong mamon. Ako? I’m not going to waste time speculating on what Neri is willing or not willing to do now. Magsalita man iyan and verify what Lozada said, gaya nga ng sinabi ni SumpPit, it is irrelevant. Kahit na wala ang testimony niya, alam naman nila at maski tayo for that matter na Gloria Dorobobitch spells “EVIL.”
For me, he has in fact become redundant, this bayagless Neri, and so are the crooks surrounding the criminal and paying obeisance to her. Nakakasuka is more like it. Isa pang probable wannabe balimbing ang ungas!
grizzy,
You’re probably right but we need more people from within the cabinet to spill the beans, hopefully with some paper trail this time but not the “planted ones” like Esperon and Razon are very good at.
Watching the video clip of Mike Defensor VS JLo, I can’t help wondering what kind of hold Gloria Dorobobitch on him.
Wow! This guy seems even willing to destroy his own name and reputation for the sake of the bitch who is only concerned about glorifying herself.
Come to think of it, the idiot is a rectification of her name. This idiot like the Prince of Darkness wants glory for herself as when the devil challenged God to give him His glory.
By his humble appearance, speech, and demeanor – Lozada may not look like much. He could be the janitor if no one ever knew him. Thats why self-declared legal luminaries or self-pronounced legal heavy weights or legends in their own minds like Mirriam Santiago and Enrile jumped to the fray expecting minced meat. Unfortunately, their superb and brilliant attempts at destroying his credibility (by descrediting him and showing volumes of documents for effect) and succeeding attacks at looking for inconsistencies or by clever use of wit, entrapping him to be inconsistent failed miserably.
By all intents and purposes Lozada is every lawyers’ nightmare, his is an indefensable position, one of obvious vulnerability and apparently no paper trail.
All the supposedly “brilliant” lawyers will avoid this type like the plague, but it will be something to watch how anyone will try to defend him – that would be brilliant, not many can do it but its not impossible.
Even in the Harapan incident, I never would have believed it if I didn’t see it, how vulnerability can win over intimidation.
I don’t know, Jug, but who among the bitch’s secretaries can the people trust? Mukhang lahat mandarambong especially the Batangueno Ermita and this Bunye na sa mukhang-mukha na lang mukhang walang yagbols talaga. Golly, iyong sisigawan ka ng isang kutong lupa na alam mo namang nagnakaw lang ng puwesto not just once but twice, ewwwwww! Ako iyan sisipain ko ang animal and then quit!
Maybe, it’s a matter of upbringing and the influence of religion and the environment so that I cannot be flexible. I have stuck to my father’s words that I found out that he learned from his father before him that black is black and white is white and no gray, or better still, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Matt. 6: 24)
Mammon is an Aramaic word meaning riches, personified in Matt. 6: 24; Luke 16: 9, 11, 13.
Besides, there is the old saying, “Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are,” or “Birds of the same feather flock together.” In short, pare-pareho lang silang magnanakaw! And you don’t easily trust one unless he has fully repented, and willing to right the wrong!
grizzy,
Believe it or not, I voted for Defensor. I liked his being consistent and steadfastness to what he believed in. But there is such a thing as loyalty and another thing as integrity and then asking yourself “to whom do you owe your loyalty?” to the people of course, and if we’re really serious about it – to God.
I have the same impression of JLo, Jug. I can’t help admiring the guy, and I kind of identify with him, except that I have nothing like those things he says he feel sorry for and feels he should make up for even by risking his life now to tell the truth, and show his love for his country, people, family and himself. I love this guy really, for showing his potentials of being like you and me, a son of God.
I thank my religion for what I am first and foremost. I was converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS (Mormons) when I was 17 going on 18. That indeed changed my life. And with the teachings and love I received from my parents and siblings, I have in my own way found my place under the sun.
Now, I am on a journey to find my way back to Our Heavenly Father. Lots of narrow paths but I’ve made the point of treading on the straight ones, and on the way, try to help even those who have stumbled down, and with God protecting me, why should I be afraid.
It is why I guess I can understand and sympathize with JLo, and really feel ballistic when I hear anyone tries to even cast a doubt on the character/personality of this brave man.
Gratitude, my dear friend, is also one of the things I have been thought to develop. I thought Filipinos should be grateful to God and this man whom God must have prodded and inspired.
Kinilabutan ako doon sa sinabi ni JLo how his conscience bothered him, and with the assurance of his loved ones, his siblings and wife who supported him, he had gained the courage to face his demons. Kaya siya umuwi even against the instruction of the crooks in Malacanang.
Kunyari pa si Dorovobitch kuno na wala siyang alam! I bet you, she cannot escape from the wrath of God pag may nangyaring masama kay JLo or to the witness that Cayetano says is now willing to talk. Till Monday ba?
Jug,
Diyan tayo nagkaiba. I never liked this guy from day one I saw his face and talk. More so when I learned about his deep involvement with the bitch. Can’t admire a person who is willing to sell his soul to the highest bidder, even the devil! Magdildil ng asin is the philosophy I go by. Amazingly, however, I have never in my life found myself wanting. There is always food on the table, more like. I guess, it is because I have always believed that God will provide.
My mother in fact had told my siblings and me of those times during the war when a lot many people did not have anything, but she said, never did they experience getting hungry because they never wavered in their faith that God would provide.
One of my favorite in the Scriptures is this:“Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?”(Luke 12:24)
For me, Mike Defensor is nothing but an opportunist. I bet iyan ang trabaho niya—sipsip—kaya siya naging student leader sa UP. Ikinahihiya ko siyang maging fellow UP alumni!
Wow, iyong mga kurakot! Nagmartsa pa kasama si Dorovobitch! Parang nakakaloko ha!
Pero comes reckoning time, isa-isang magbabalimbingan! Ano kayang pangsipsip ang sinabi sa unano ng mga nakasayad ang mga palad? Yuck!
Inquirer banner: PNP files perjury raps vs Lozada wife!
Wow, ang tindi din ha! Akala siguro nila kung iyong asawa na ni Lozada ang gagalawin nila, mapapatahimik na nila si JLo. All the more reason that JLo, and his supporters should now demand strongly and emphatically for the witness protection program for JLo and his family.
Over here, the police cannot file any case against a witness who is telling the truth. Halatang pananakot ang ginagawa ng mga mokong na pulis-pulisan na mga graduate ng PMA. Dapat iyong mga mismong alumni at students ng PMA, i-condemn nila ito. Nakakahiya sila! For the love of money, indeed they have lost their soul.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8: 36 )
Off topic but now that they have filed the rebellion case against Faeldon, when are they going to parade him to the media and the public? Nice try, mga gago! May araw din kayo! Malapit na!
Heaven does not sleep, sabi da!
Bobo talaga itong mga tuta ni Dorovobitch, but then they have to be, I guess, para madali silang ma-mind control niya. Doesn’t Mascarinas know anything about permissible lie especially when one is under stress, duress and otherwise like what the Lozada family was made to go through. I doubt if he will act the way he does if he has performed his duty as a policeman as he should—protector of ordinary citizens, peace and order not protector of the interests, etc. of a criminal.
Hoy, bugoy, magkano ka? Gosh, can’t help comparing these idiots with our more efficient law officers especially of the more prestigious, efficient, and competent Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department! At least, here, we know we are secured. Over in the Philippines, alam mo nang palpak ang pulis when one tells you to hug your backpack than hang it at your back! Malalaslas daw! Susmaryopes!
I have already said in my previous posts that Romy Neri have already rendered himself irrelevant when he let his ‘should-have-been shining’ moments gone!
Anna,
Romy Neri will not be shaken up by the truths exposed by Lozada to tell more than what he already told the Senate.
He will continue to support and defend Guriang Korap not only because of an unknown burial plot in Cavite ready for him anytime, but also because of fear of kumakalam na sikmura and pansustento kay Tom, his real fears!
Hindi ‘yan magbabago ng stand kaylanman, unless maunang mamatay si Gloria sa kanya!
Oopps. ..Neri had already…
Chi,
Bakit nakatikim na ba iyan na maging mahirap kaya takot? Kung sabagay, sabi nila, “madaling magsalita” except that kung may faith ka sa Panginoon, wala kang katatakutan! Pero gaya nga ng sabi mo, this guy has been living in sin. Fornication iyong makipag-sex ka sa hindi mo asawa, lalo pa ito na hindi naman normal ang relasyon! Iyong bibig talaga, parang puwit ng manok na nilalabasan ng iput!
No, Yuko.
Dictate of unfounded FEARS lang ‘yan kay Neri. In short, super duwag…supot na supot! He’s not the one to take risks and chances. Magkapatid sila ni Asspweron sa kasuputan! Iyong isa ay extrovert, the other one is introvert! hahahaha!
I heard the son of Arroyo defend her at Congress. Wow! mabait daw ang nanay niya. Iyon namang anak na babae iyon ama naman ang pinagtatanggol.
Come to think of it, baka iyon namang ama ang talagang nagpapalakad, iyong ina lang ang nagpipirma. Hindi lang halata kasi mayabang naman si babae. Ibig magpasikat na daig niya si Thatcher at Gandhi or even Bhutto! Pasalamat lang siya not many Filipinos are crazy to risk going t jail for life to try to assassinate her. Kaya iyong balak nilang kumuha ng sympathy for her, pumalpak. Dasal na lang nila, “Tamaan sana si Gloria Makapal-gal Dorobo ng kidlat!” 😛
We can’t do much but we can show we care for and support Jun Lozada by wearing a green ribbon and placing green ribbons in our car antennas.
Green is the color of HOPE.
Green is for the environment.Jun Lozada cared for the environment in his job in Philippine Forest.
Green is also the color of the sanctuary of the Lozada family.
Note:I am not a La Sallian.
Backgrounder:
The green ribbon has been used as a symbol for many campaigns, including environmental justice, caring through prayer,and HOPE.
Environmental initiatives, such as Environment Week in the UK and in Canada, often use green ribbons to represent support for sustainable development and environmental initiatives.
In the US in 1998, Margaret Bruce sought a way to support farm families and came up with the idea of a green ribbon and a card that read “We care through prayer.” Around the same time, the National Catholic Rural Life Conference (NCRLC) began receiving emergency calls from farm families in stress and saw that the situation was getting worse across the country. In November 1998, NCRLC launched the Green Ribbon Campaign at their 75th anniversary meeting. They developed and began to disseminate rural crisis packets to help parishes deal with the growing rural crisis.
When Margaret Bruce began wearing a green ribbon for farm families, she said at the time: “I can’t do much, but I can wear a green ribbon to let families know that I care through prayer.” Her “can’t do much” example has turned into an international campaign that brings support and hope to thousands. Her life is an example of how ordinary people doing ordinary things have extraordinary results. Margaret was the Pastoral Associate at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Grafton, North Dakota. She died of an aneurysm in Grand Forks, ND, on Jan. 27, 2001.
Following the July 2005 London bombings, British police in Nottinghamshire distributed green ribbons as part of a Good Faith campaign .
The green ribbon is used to show support for finding missing persons particularly children in Canada.
Green is my favorite color. So green it is. Thanks for suggesting!
” … (Lozada’s) his is an indefensable position, one of obvious vulnerability and apparently no paper trail.” — Jug
I suppose his only viable line of defence is a sustained ‘attack’ in public.
Thanks again Yuko for the definition of palpak.
Lagdameo is calling for people power to ourst Gloria.
People who have been appointed ambassadors by Gloria should resign now — how can they represent a persona who i a qualified evil?
AdeBrux,
pansinin mo mata ni neri, di parang talaba na? ilang araw at gabi na kayang di nakaktulog yan? I feel na nagiisip na yan.Alam niya minsan lang mabuhay ang tao at maaalala ka ng mga tao kapag wala ka na sa mundong ito. Tama kau, konting hinang na lang.
ztan,
Heheheh! Know what I think? If there’s one person who might be able to convince him to turn around and denounce EVIL, i.e. Gloria, could very well be his boyfriend. Of course, the boyfriend has got to have the force of character to be able to influence coward Neri to turn around and waltz to the Senate.
Even God is confused with them. God has a way to send a calamitous message. He sent the seeded cloud past Friday’s rally away and dropped its deluge at Gov. Evardone country.
We can’t do much but we can show we care for and support Jun Lozada by wearing a green ribbon and placing green ribbons in our car antennas. — Tongue
I agree. And for those of us abroad, we can post a green ribbon in our blog.
Mga Katoto,
Now is the time to convert reasons to actions. Nandito na ako at nasa front na. Saan kayo? Itigil na muna ninyo ang petty disagreements at alaskahan. Pag nagtagumpay tayo, ibalato lang ninyo sa akin itong dalawang agurang, Sergio Apostol at Siraulo Gonzales. Pa e-esquat-in ko na lang si Avelino Razon at si berdugo Paul Mascarinas.
Sorry attribute the above quote to Tongue… should read — The Equalizer
Eddfajardo,
Sige, sa ‘yo na lang ang 2 agurang. Idagdag mo lang sa gagawin mo ang 2 malalakas na mag-asawang sampal from me.
Sige, mag-Green Revolution tayo!
Huwag iyong version ni Meldy… magastos ‘yon!
Folks,
Co-related to this thread, and taken from Malaya issued Feb. 20, 2008, by Mr. Lito Banayo: “From Patty of Cebu: “Please don’t believe that all Cebuanos love Gloria! Hindi oy, padalhan ninyo kami dito ng survey at lalabas ang katotohanan – lalo na sa lower middle class!
Nais kong bigyan diin to all Pinoys who voted GMA para manatili sa poder last 2004 election.
The total voters got by GMA from Cebu = 965,630 against FPJ = 94,380 only! Cebu City, GMA got 220,060 against FPJ = 58,591 only!
Total votes gained by GMA = 1,185,690 against FPJ = 181,690 ONLY!
1 million votes ang ipinanalo ni GMA sa Cebu province.
Not a soul representing the Catholic Church was present in the ‘consultation’ meeting with various sectors called by Gloria in her stinking EK palace.
Konti na lang!
Gloria must be on her knees, shedding crocodile tears while pleading for Velarde and INK not to join the ‘new brand of people power’.
Balweg:
Iyong sinasabing panalo ni Dorovobitch sa Cebu tiyak mo talagang boto? Magkano?
Done!
Green ribbon of hope
Chi,
Was INK represented in that meeting? Kaya pala confident iyong nanggugulo dito na hindi mapapaalis si Dorobo kasi kakampi pa niya ang INK.
Ilan kaya ang in-employ ni Luli doon sa communications center nila na INK and El Shaddai na nanggugulo sa mga blogs? Pag may pumalag tama ang suspicion ko doon sa usual suspect!
Re: Sige, mag-Green Revolution tayo!
Buti pa SumpPit magandang plano yan para magkaisa na ang taong-Bayan. Tutal sinimulan na nila ng maglagay ng green na laso sa kanilang mga damit eh ituloy na yan para matapos na ang Pidalismo standoff na ito.
Kgg. Grizzy,
Data based on the Certificates of Canvass (COCs) used by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in proclaiming the official winners of the Senatorial elections.
This data was published at PDI on June 10, 2004 thru the complement of SGD. Atty. Hilario U. Delos Santos and SDG. Atty. Dencio B. Bargas – Legal Counsel of Sen. Rodolfo Biazon.
balweg,
the figures you cited, forgot to mention that Cebu Province delivered a voters turnout rate of 98%, a figure that defies logic and all rules of statistics.
pity those who do not understand the implication.
Dapat kgg. Grizzy para magtagumpay tayong lahat eh dapat di na People Power, isulong natin ang God’s POWER para forever na ang tunay na pagbabago sa ating lipunan.
Mahirap kasi pag ang isang tao ay mayroong reservation sa kanyang puso at makikijoin lang sa people power after all maghihiwalay uli ang mga iyan so walang solid foundation to keep our gov’t intact and maka-Bansa.
Let’s use the proper word, that is GOD’s POWER para lahat tayo eh under His own umbrella at wala na yong leftist, rightist, centrist, silent majority at balimbing di ba!
Kgg. Zenzen, I was in Cebu last 2004 election and nasaksihan ko ang botohan doon, i’m not Cebuano but i love them very much.
Ang Cebu province ay oppositionist during Erap presidency at nagshift sila to admistration upang suportahan si GMA. Pro-GMA ang Cebu provice, but still they have some percentage of them na anti-GMA.
Zen2,
The 2nd Province na nagluluklok kay GMA sa Malacang eh Iloilo Province & Iloilo City with combined votes 512,812 + 105,597 = 618,409, AGAINST FPJ 82,244 + 35,251 = 117,495
Ang total votes ni GMA na ipinanalo from Iloilo eh 501,102!
Correction Zen2 bali pang 3rd pala ang Iloilo at ang 2nd placer eh Pampanga with total votes of 642,712 (GMA) against 84,720 (FPJ), with difference of 557,992 votes for GMA.
E kung ganyan pala ang computation na panalo si Gloria, bakit pa siya nag-Hello Garci?!
For refreshment Kgg. Chi,
Total votes for GMA = 12,868,316
against FPJ = 11,770,379
leading candidates = 1,097,937 for GMA!
Winning candidates by numbers of Provices & Cities:
GMA = 47
FPJ = 53
Re: Cebu Province delivered a voters turnout rate of 98%, a figure that defies logic and all rules of statistics.

Kanina si Lagdameo. Sino na naman kaya ang babanat bukas?
kailan ba uli dapat magdaos ng malaking rally para lahat ng mga tao ay sama sama ng patalsikin si gma kaya mga kapatid kilos na!!!
Naku, e gobyerno pala ang source mo, Balweg.
Re: Source: http://www.nscb.gov.ph
Wala akong tiwala sa source mo. Di ba sila ang nagsasabing umunlad ang ating bansa. Umunlad ba talaga??????
Very exasperating. What will it take this bring this MAFIA govenment down? The longer it holds on to power, the more the people of the philippines has to pay for their greed and corruption. Ilang bilyong piso na naman before 2010 ang kanilang ma “uutang” sa china to go into their pockets and is left for the philippine gov’t to pay off. Hirap nito eh, nag bubulag bulagan ang karamihan sa ating mga kababayan about sa nangyayari sa bayan. Sarap isigaw. Jun Lozada pare, don’t be ashamed to cry. You are crying for all of us.
Ellen, Bisdak din ako and proud to be one.
hindi mapapatalsik si GMA hanggat walang blessing ng mga kano…thats the truth…
Just wondering how many millions malacanang has offered Neri now. I remember somebody during the senate hearing that somebody tolm him, if before they offered him 200M even though there’s no crisis yet how much more this time with this crisis. no wonder he keep hiding at the palace. sa mga anak at apo ng mga kurap opisyals!!! mahiya naman kayo sa mga mamayan!! nagppakasasa kayo sa kayamanan na ang mamamayan ang maghihirap!!!!
Totoong na ang nakaarang dalawang rebolusyon ay pakana ng mga Kano. Kung panawagan ng mga nakakaintindi ay isang kakaibang karakter ng People Power.
This brand new uprising must take into consideration the existence of an EcoSystem of Corruption that all started from Greed emanating from the whole spectrum of our society – government, church, schools, media, business, and public at large.
Lahat po tayo ay may contribution kung bakit nagiging ganito kasama ang ating Lipunan.
‘di po ako sang-ayon na porke ganito kalaki ang ating problema ay pabayaan na lang natin. Porke may impluwensya ang mga kano sa mga big-shots sa ating bansa, ay hayaan na lang natin ang ganito. Kaya nga tayo binigyan ng talino ay upang gamitin ito.
Ang lahat ng problema sa ating bansa ay parang kasing tigas ng bato lang ‘yan na palaging napapatakan ng ulan, nabubutas din pagdating ng panahon. Kailangan lang gawin ay ang patuloy na “pagpatak” o pakikialam sa galaw ng Lipunan, ‘di para sa ating sarili lamang, kundi’y para na rin sa susunod pang henerasyon kasama na po ang mga apo natin.
Papayag ka ba na pagdating ng panahon, lahat ng naiiwan sa lupang ito ay Arroyo ang apelyido?
should be…
Totoo na ang nakaarang dalawang rebolusyon ay pakana ng mga Kano. Kaya ang panawagan ng mga nakakaintindi ay isang kakaibang karakter ng People Power.
Balweg:
I read in the newspapers (Philippine) that JdV is now going to question those tallied votes, plus investigate on the missing ones. Ellen in fact has archived the revelations on how the ballots were miscounted/miscalculated and the tally sheets, etc. tampered with. It is therefore a fact that there cheatings, etc. perpetrated. In 2007, voters were even frightened and intimidated to vote due to the presence of wannabe hoodlums from the AFP detailed in polling places on order of EsPweron, the sipsip and asslicker of the dorobos.
Apparently, the day of reckoning is coming soon. Kailangang paspasan na.
SumpPit,
Huwag nang hintayin ang mga kano. Mas marami silang problema. What we can ask them to do is stop meddling in the problems of other people anymore. Tapusin muna nila angmga problema nila. Golly, ang daming nagugutom na mga kano sa totoo lang, and yet, iyong mayabang na Dubya, nagbigay ng malaking pondo sa Africa na hindi naman alam ng mga Afrikano na utang. I bet you, mawa-waisan ang mga kano diyan.
Walang pinag-iba doon kay Dadong Macapagal na nagyabang na ipalimos iyong inutang nang magpunta siya sa Madagascar sa Africa habang nagugutom noon ang mga pilipino. Puro yabang lang at manakot na hindi sila puedeng ibagsak. Not kung salot na sila sa iba at sa mundo!!!
Iyong EDSA 2, I doubt na talagang may kinalaman diyan ang mga kano kahit na sabihin pang kasama si Erap doon sa campaign against the US bases noong early 90’s. Bagamat payag ang mga kano na mawala si Erap kung hindi siya susunod sa kanila, I doubt that they have a direct hand sa pagbabagsak kay Erap.
t was more an inside job ng mga Dorobos with the help noong mayabang panggalatok, et al. Kasama din si Enteng diyan, pati na iyong kaaway ng PLDT, iyong mga PCIJ na kasama ni Abueva, who was listed as a director there then, etc.
Hindi ko sinuport ang movemen na iyan even when I was not wholly sold out to Erap, who was the duly elected by the people. Kung nagkamali sila, kasalanan nila, but between an ambitious lawbreaker, Makapal-Gal, I would prefer to work with Erap whom I thought would not be able to steal and would have to make do with what he could muster to collect, because I knew for a fact that big lenders like Japan did not want and were reluctant to lend him money. In fact, may project nga kami sa kaniya that he promised to overlook personally, pero hindi na natuloy dahil nga kay Tarantadang Magnanakaw!
This time, I am for a real, honest to goodness people’s power revolution that does not in fact have to be bloody. Tiyakin lang na sundin ang batas, kaya namang sipain si Gloria Dorovobitch, and with more people like Lozada coming out, sinong may sabing hindi puedeng ipakulong iyan at ang asawa niya. In fact, iyong pag-amin niya kay Nick Joaquin should be reviewed by the prosecutor and investigated by the police and see his culpability for breaking the laws and Constitution of the land. Kasalanan iyong ginawa nila as a matter of fact. Ano ba iyong tinawag ng foreign media, vis-a-vis Washington Post, etc. sa EDSA 2?
O ano ang klaseng democracy meron ang Pilipinas ngayon? A government for, of and by the few!
“A government for, of and by the few!”—Frankly, I picked this up from one Barak-can (Republicans supporting Obama) who is critical of Dubya. It is how he describes the kind of democracy they have now in the USA.
Those who are following this ZTE investigation from the neutral corner can’t help but ask if this expose was as a result of thieves fighting among one another? Nagalit lang daw si Joey De Venecia kasi hindi niya nakuha ang deal. What if Joey got the deal? Lilitaw ba si Jun Lozada? No matter how and what we look at it, our hero Jun Lozada was part of it. Some are not impressed and happy with his handlers no other than the priests and nuns whose credibility is also questionable given their past behavior. Sa Pilipinas kasi sobra ang pakikialam ang simbahan. If this happens in the US and when the church enters politics, their tax privilege would be taken away. Kaya sa US kung napapansin niyo maingat ang mga taga-simbahan.
Correction, please. Mukhang hindi ka nakikinig sa hearing sa hearing sa Senatem, ka blog. Lozada was not part of the deal. He was asked to act as consultant at siya mismo ang nagsabing baka hindi lulusot ang gusto nina Abalos. Hindi siya pumayag na makasama sa kalokohan as a matter of fact kaya hindi natuloy. Alam ni Joey iyon. Isa siya sa bidder. Hindi niya nakuha ang deal kaya nagalit siya. Binulgar niya na walang bidding na binigay ang contract sa ZTE. May katwiran siya.
I can understand the situation of Lozada. Marami din kasing nag-a-approach sa akin ng ganyan pero hindi ko pinapasukan kung mali at labag sa batas. Hindi ko nga ginagamit ang PNB, Metrobank o Landbank pag nagpapadala ako ng pera sa Pilipinas kasi wala silang lisensiya to engage in foreign exchange/remittance.
Hindi pumiyak si Lozada hindi dahil hindi siya nakinabang kundi hindi naman natuloy ang deal, at ayaw niyang masangkot pa dahil hindi naman siya ang principal sa transakyon na iyon. Pumiyak siya hindi dahil hindi siya nagkapera kundi napundi na siya at siya at ang kaniyang pamilya ay nagulo. May katwiran naman matakot dahil nangyari na sa kapatid niya ang kabuktutan ng pulis under this regime. Tapos siyempre wala pa siyang napakinabang as a matter of a fact. Sinabi naman niyang hindi siya bayani. Ginagawa lang niya kung ano ang dinikta ng konsensiya niya. Mahirap bang maintindihan iyon?
Hindi ako Katoliko kaya iyong pakikialam ng simbahan nila sa politika para sa akin ay hindi tama, pero ang magbigay ng sanctuary at tulong sa nangangailan ay tungkulin ng simbahan, membro man o hindi. Humingi ng tulong sa simbahan nila ang mga Lozada, tama lang kupkupin sila. OK naman kasi at nakakatulong na maging tapat si Lozada at magkaroon ng takot sa Diyos. Maski sa America ginagawa iyan.
As for paying taxes, exempted pa rin ang simbahan maski nga sa Japan sa totoo lang. Dito nga ang requirement lang ay magsubmit ang simbahan ng full accounting ng mga collection nila. Kaya nga kami doon sa bank account ng simbahan namin sa Postal Savings Bank na semi-government namin binabayad ang tithing namin. Diyan nahihirapan ang mga katoliko kasi hindi nagbabayad ng tithing ang mga membro nila.
Thanks for the correction. Of course I do follow the Senate hearing. Wala po among miss kahit minsan. Allow me to clarify why I said Mr. Jun Lozada was part of it. Ang ibig kong sabihin may inaasahan din siyang balato mula kay ex-Chairman Abalos o si Sec. Neri. I remember very well Mr. Lozada admitted in the hearing that he mentioned “balato” to Abalos when Abalos told him “Meroon kayo P200M ni Neri”. Kaya naman umayaw sa huli si Lozada kasi hindi niya masikmura at nakonsensiya siya. If the kickback was not that big at tama lang…”Permissible” sa lenguahe ni Lozada, siguro hindi humantong sa ganyan ang issue at tumanggap din kahit kaunti si Lozada…balato nga lang. Sobra lang kasi malaki ang gusto ng barkada ni Abalos. Too much greed kasi.
As for the church’s meddling in politics, any religious group could use sanctuary as an excuse. That only shows how powerful church is. Kung paanong kayang ibaluktot ang mga aral ng Diyos to suit their doctrines, puwede din nilang gamitin ang mga privilege na bigay sa kanila ng estado. Unfortunately, the church often abuses these rights and privileges. This is not to say that protecting Lozada is wrong. I’m just stating a fact.
Anong walang kinalaman ang mga kano sa pagbagsak ni erap…sila ang nagpabagsak si erap…si clinton mismo…kundi ba naman ginantihan ni erap ang pinaka “powerful man in the world” na si president clinton nuon, remember na pinatulog o pinag antay din nya si clinton kasama ang vice president nuon na si gma kagaya ng ginawa ni clinton sa kanya duon sa washington, remember that? kung hindi nya ginawa yun, baka hindi sya natanggal sa pag ka presidente…
kung kapit ka sa kano, kagaya ni gma kay bush, mahihirapan kang tanggalin sa pwesto…
oo, madaming problema ang mga kano, pero its still true na hanggat walang blessing ng mga kano, gma will remain in power…
so ano ang dapat gawin? kung gusto nyong matanggal si gma, appeal to the americans…
