Nago-organisa na ang mga gustong kumandidato para sa 2010 na eleksyon. Hindi lang sa pagka-presidente. Pati na rin ang mga gustong kumandidato sa mga lokal na pwesto.
Sa Pilipinas kasi ang eleksyon ay parang piyesta. Ang tingin ng marami sa atin sa eleksyon ay isang masayang okasyon kung saan umuuwi tayo na busog ang tiyan at kung swertehin ay may pabaon pa.
At yun lang ang panahon na nilalapitan tayo ng mga pulitiko. Kapag hindi eleksyon, pinatataguan tayo.
Maliban sa mababaw na paningin natin sa eleksyon, talaga namang mahalaga yun para sa isang demokrasya na sinasabi ni Abraham Lincoln na “government of the people, by the people, and for the people.”
Sa pamamaraan ng eleksyon, ang sambayanan ang pumipili ng kanilang lider. Kaya mahalaga na malinis at maayos ang eleksyon ay ang talagang lalabas ay ang kagustuhan ng taumbayan. Hindi katulad ng nangyari noong 2004 na eleksyon na nang malaman nina Gloria Arroyo na natatalo sila ni Fernando Poe, Jr. ay nandaya ng garapalan sa Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao. Narinig natin lahat yan sa “Hello Garci” tapes.
Abala na rin ang Commission on Elections sa paghahanda sa 2010 na magiging automated o eletronic ang ibang proseso. Hindi lahat magiging automated ngunit sa bilangan mukhang electronic na yan sa maraming parte ng Pilipinas.
Malaking tulong yan kasi sa bilangan talaga ang dayaan. Di ba may kasabihan tayo na nanalo sa botohan, natalo sa bilangan.
Kasalukuyan ay nagkakaroon ng bidding kung sinong kumpanya ang hahawak ng electronic na parte ng eleksyon sa 2010. Noong isang linggo, sinabi ni Comelec Chair Jose Melo na nababangungot siya sa pag-iisip na kung ang hindi mananalo sa bidding ay makakuha ng temporary restraining order sa Supreme Court at hindi nila maisagawa ang pagpatupad ne eleksyon. Ang kinatatakot niya ay ang “No-Election”.
Nakakatakot talaga yun dahil magwawala ang mga gustong kumandidato at ang kanilang taga-suporta. Kung hindi man nag-people power kahit na katakot-takot na ng eskandalo ang nabulgar katulad ng fertilizer scam at NBN/ZTE, baka dito na lalabas sa kalsada ang mga tao. Baka ang preparasyon para sa 2010 eleksyon ay gagamitin na para patalsikin ang nasa Malacañang ngayon. Maganda yun.
Ngunit may panloloko na ginagawa ang mga galamay ni Arroyo. Tinutulak nila ang pagpalit ng Constitution at sinasabi nila na, huwag mag-alala ang mga tao dahil matutuloy naman ang eleksyon. Ang hindi nila pinapaliwanag, eleksyon sa ilalim ng bagong Constitution at kasama na naman doon si Arroyo.
Di ba sinabi mismo ng spokesperson ni Arroyo na si Lorelei Fajardo na hindi imposible na mgpapatuloy si GMA bilang prime minister? Sabi niya, “She has been a good president”.
Diyos na mahabagin!
Ellen, this will be the igniting point of a real revolution and the putot will not be able to stop it no matter who it is that she put in the AFP to keep PEACE! There will be no peace. Kakaladkarin siya ng patiwarik mula sa pinaglulunggaan niya. If Filipinos are taking all the blows now, it is because they see the light at the end of the tunnel, the 2010 elections. Take that away from them and there will be chaos!
Gloria placed her four AFP super nannies in place to sow fear amongst the pinoy. But takutan is already an old tactic that won’t wash away Pinas election fever. Come hell or high water, Gloria will be out by 2010 as permanent acting president. As for her coming out as Pampanga tongresswoman, malamang!
“She (gloria) has been a good president”. – Lie-lie Fajardo
GWAAAAARRRRKKK!!!!
Gloria cannot be too sure about the loyalty of the people she appoints nor her allies in congress. Case in point, it was reported that one of her plans if in case Cha-cha doesn’t push through before the 2010 elections, they will make it happen after the 2010 elections. She was hoping that if she wins as Congressman in Pampanga, her allies will elect her as Prime Minister. But she should be reminded that all politician’s (including her so-called allies) natural instinct is to seek higher positions whenever there is a chance or opportunity. Who would, for example stop Speaker Nograles or even Villafuerte in seeking the top post too? The better option for her, I think is to leave the country as soon as her term’s end if she wants to avoid being sued and jailed for all her misdeeds while in power. Better chose a country that has no extradition treaty with the Philippines for good measure.
As for her generals, their loyalty is only up to how much is being offered. sooner or later, the Arroyo couple will be scrimping for funds already when they are already out of power. Wala na silang mahuthot kaya mauubos din ang mga ninakaw nila. Mahal yata ang mga talent fee ng mga genrals niya. I wouldn’t be surprise that the very generals that she bought for their loyalty will dumped her like an excrement into the toilet bowl.
It happened to Marcos and it happened to Erap. Their so called loyalist turned out to be balimbings.
When Gloria is no more permanent acting president, she’d be powerless and even if she’s elected Pampanga tongresswoman, she will have to compete with other tongressmen for speakership. Ano s’ya, sinuswirti?!
Yes, Mike. I agree that her dogs now in Congress will not stay loyal to her when she’s out of power. Ano sila, tanga?!
Nograles and allies are just dancing the cha-cha with her, giving her hopes only for the bayongs of kwarta that they will also use in their own reelection bids. Nagmamatsingan na but at the end, Gloria and family have to go and spend their kurakots somewhere safe for them.
Pero mas mabuti na alerto tayo palagi dahil sobra ang kaswapangan ng unana. Mas OK sana if the Pampangenos will fail her and cut her kababuyan…that’s wishing upon the star.
Si Nunalisa kakandidato ng Tongresswoman sa Pampanga? Talo.
Mas maganda nga kung kakandidato siya dahil ito na ang pagkakataon ng mga kapangpangan na ipakita nila sa buong Pilipins na hindi nila kinukunsinti ang mga magnanakaw.Dadami ang kakampi ng Padir Among Panlilio.
Cocoy, nagwi-wish ka rin na tulad ko as to the Pampangenos :).
Dadanak ang dugo kung hindi matutuloy ang election.Sawang-sawa na ang mga tambay na magbilang ng butiki sa kisami,kailangan nilang bumili ng bagong kamisita at salawal.Kawawa naman ang nag-iisang pirasong maong at si Liwayway gawgaw na lang ang nagpapatigas.
Chi,
Nananakot lang iyang si Nunalisa.Kung hindi siya mag evacuate ng maaga sa ibang bansa ay lilitsunin ng taongbayan si (Bulog) Big Pig.
Cocoy,
Baka makipag-unahan pa na mag-rally against Nunalisa ang kanyang mga tongressmen kapag nag-NOEL s’ya. Kung sasama pa ang lahat ng tambay sa Pinas, katapusan na ng pamilya unana at buti pa ay mag-exit na sila ngayon pa para hindi sila ma-firing squad.
Ano ba ang bulog na baboy?
Oo nga e, kahit lahat ng GARCI Generals ay iparada pa niya ay wala nang takot sa kanyang bulok na taktika. Tuloy ang eleksyon 2010!
Wa-is na ang mga botante ngayon.Kukunin nila ang pera at iboboto nila ang gusto nila.Ang magpapanalo sa mga opposition ay itong mga kabataan na bagong botante.Na-indoctrinate na sila ni Jun Lozada.96% sa mga ito ay boboto sa contra nunlisa.
Tulad dito sa YU-IS na nilibot ng nanay dionisia ni pakman,nagparegistered ang mga kabataan dahil gusto nila ng “Change” kaya nanalo si Pareng Barak.
Kaya lang sa nangyayari sa opposition ay isang dosena yata ang kakandidato na papalit kay nunalisa.Sa nakikita ko ay personal interest lang talaga ang pulitika na parang “Cafe Puro”.
Chi,
Ang bulog na baboy ay iyung multiplier.Walang pinipili at pasak lang ng pasak sa butas.Kaya karamihang nagbababuyan sa probinsya ay kinakapon nila para hindi na titigasan at magiging obsessed.Nag-iiwan lang sila ng isang bulog para may macho dancer na kikiliti sa mga matronang baboy.
E bulog talaga si Ipdyi, kasi pasok ng pasok sa lahat ng anomalya ke maliit o malaki.
Baka gusto nilang magkagulo ang Pilipinas kung walang eleksyon na mangyayari?Hirap talaga kay Gloria gagawin at ang lahat manatili lamang sa posisyon nya.For sure mula ngayon aarangkada na mga bata nI Glo, para makalikom ng igagastos sa eleksyon yang ang mangurakot ng husto, pagawa ng kalye na hindi naman sira at kung anu-ano pa.. hay balak ko tuloy di na lang bumuto, nakakabanas kasi..alang pagbabago : (
Ellen,
here is the latest salvo from Miss Dhalla Lawyer (re: caregivers’ case) and the unmoderated comments from the Readers, including mine…there is a lull to the “war” for now, since we are celebrating Queen Victoria Birthday, but the hearing is still going on, and the committte might summon the MP family member to testify…next in line is the head of Interced, the Domestic and Caregivers Union that will prove that she has the record (telephone) of her Conversation with the MP which she vehemently denied…
http://www.torontosun.com/news/torontoandgta/2009/05/15/9464726-sun.html
No el? No el? litsunin ang leche!
Tapatan na lang ni Among kung saan tatakbo si Nunal, baka sakaling matalo din.
Election or no election, we are now actually listing up the candidates that we will support for next year’s election although we do not intend to campaign for them until the day prescribed by law as the start of the campaign.
Yup, we are not campaigning for any so-called “Official Opposition Party” especially with the same trapos running the show, and especially not one endorsed by the Evil Bitch or even Erap, who, as far as we are concerned, should have retired from politics by now and devote his last days in doing what really can benefit his country and people like making documentaries exposing the anomalies in the Philippine government, etc. ala-Michael Moore. No more hoodwinkers for us!!! 😛
So far, we have only two in our list for Senator (Col. Ariel Querubin and Satur Ocampo) since we have no intention of endorsing anyone for Congress since the OFWs cannot vote for them and none for President and/or Vice-President as yet. This time we are making sure we will not waste even papers and ink for our campaign.
We invite everyone to join the Satur for Senator campaign at http://satur4senator.ning.com/ As for the Querubin campaign, please see previous loop.
Sana naman talagang mawala na si Gloria sa buhay natin next year. Sobra na ang panloloko at pagsasamantala nila sa bayan! Sana ay wag palagpasin ang kaniyang kasalanan gayun din ng pamilya at mga alipores na mga heneral!
Please visit goodbyegloria.com, maganda mga articles nila doon. This was the one written by Ellen a month ago. Ok siya mukhang gawa ng kabataan!
No-El is Malacanang’s last option. The Evil Bitch is prepared for any eventuality.
With the opposition divided and in disarray, the best option is for Erap to run again. Some would disagree; but it’s the best option to prevent any Malacanang candidate from taking over. Erap’s predicament is the legal issue. First, we need to determine if his release was a conditional or absolute pardon. The Constitution states there’s no reelection…but it’s for the incumbent. Nowhere does it say that former President before the incumber cannot run again. Erap is not running for reelection. Remember that he did not finish his term but was unconstitutionally removed. The agreement has a portion that states “restoring his civil and political rights”. In fact, Erap was able to vote last election. If he could vote, why can’t he be voted. The will of the people prevails over any other law.
may eleksiyon ba sa 2010?
hmmmm, tinatantiya pa rin nila ang reaksiyon at pulso ng sambayanan…pero sa mga sandaling ito maaring ipilit nila ang masamang mithiin nila sapagkat walang anumang maliwanag na kilos o pagsalungat ang masamang pilipino sa mga nangyayaring kaganapan.
ang pagposisyon sa mga nasabing loyal and yes-mam generals ay isang maliwanag na kilos nila upang mapaghandaan ang anumang posibilidad kung sakaling igiit nila ang kanilang masamang balakin.
huwag tayong maniwala sa kuwentong barbero ni cong. laos villafuerte at cong. nognograles sapagkat gumagawa lamang sila ng panliligaw at panglilito sa masa sa usaping charter change.
huwag rin tayong maniwala sa mga statement at palabas ng comelec dahil sa huli ang manual voting at selective automationpa rin ang kanilang paiiralin.
huwag rin tayong maniwala sa mga pahayag ng malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration na maayos ang pagpapalit ng pamunuan sa 2010 dahil sa ngayon pa lamang ay masusi nilang pinag-aaralan ang lahat ng posibilidad upng maituloy ang isang eleksiyon na kung saan ay mas organisado pa sa “hello garci scandal” at isang pagpapalit ng sistema ng gobyerno sa paraang federal/ parliamentary system thru election or selection of constitutional delegates.
ang lahat ng mga nasabing kilos, palabas at pahayag ng malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration ay bahagi ng isa na namang malaking panlilinlang sa masang pilipino upang manatili sa puwesto sa 2010.
habang abala sa pag-aaway ang oposisyon, di pagkakasundo ng civil society at concerned citizens group, di pagkilos ng simbahan at kaparian, di pagkibo ng mga matitinong junior at senior officers ng afp at pnp, habang patuloy na di pakikialam ng mga kawani ng gobyerno sa mga katiwalian ng mga appointees at department heads at habang di nagkakaisa ang mga pilipino at hindi nagpapakita ng iisang boses at sigaw at hayagang pagtutol sa mga pangyayari ang masang pilipino ay maisasakatuparan ng malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration ang kanilang mithiin.
at magiging huli na ang lahat kapag kumibo at kumilos man si juan dela cruz sa mga mangyayaring kaganapan sa ating mahal na bansa sapagkat ang malaking trahedya ay hindi na maiiwasan.
gloria and her loyal yes-mam generals and with full support of malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration ay patuloy na maghahari sa ating bansa sa 2010 and beyond hanggang sa kasaysayan na lamang ang pipigil sa mga kaganapan.
may eleksiyon sa 2010? meron pero pinaghandaan na nila ang isang malaking laban na kung saan ang talino at aktibong pakikiisa ng masang pilipino na pumili ng tunay na lider ng bansa ay tatapatan nila ng isang malaking pandaraya at panlilinlang…upang ipilit ang masama nilang balakin na manatili sa puwesto kahit sa anong pamamaraan.
kikilos ba tayo o maghihintay na lamang sa malakling trahedya?
siguro nga pag di tayo kumibo at kumilos….magiging tama si usec. lorelie fajardo – “why not? she’s been a good president” sa usaping what if gloria arroyo assume the prime minister post.
Kung meron man, huwag iboto ang mga mandarambong, madaraya, berdugo ng masa at animal na tuta ng mga mapuputing puwit.
May eleksiyon man o wala o kung ano ang plano ni gloria o wala, hindi na mahalaga. Ang importante ay umalis na siya sa poder. Sobra na, tama na.
Lugmok na sa kahirapan ang mamamayan sa patuloy na pag-asa sa mga pangako ni gloriang malayo sa katuparan sapagkat bahagi ng kanyang istratehiya ang pangakuan, paasahin habang ginugutom at limusan upang palabasing nagmamalasakit siya (gloria) sa mga mamamayan sa sandali ng kanilang paghihikahos. Kasabay ‘yun ng kabi-kabilang pangungutang, pagpasok sa mga kontratang ilegal at paghahanap ng mga bansang pagtatapunan ng mga Pinoy na hindi mabigyan ng hanapbuhay sapagkat sa halip na paglikha ng trabaho ang atupagin ay pagbubulsa ng laman ng kaban.
Kapag pumalag ang taong bayan o merong nagtatangkang magbunyag ng mga katiwalian, bring to the proper forum ang hamon, subalit sino at kanino nakakiling ang mga hukom? Ang mga pulis? Ang mga kawal?
Lahat sa burukrasya ay nabayaran na ni gloria at lahat sila’y umiikot sa loob ng kanyang bulsa.
Pag umangal ka, bad ka. Pag sumama kang tikom ang bibig at nakapikit ang mga mata, busog at buhay ka. Bumubuhos pa ang grasya!
‘Yung mga natitirang matitinong kawal at pulis, mga kababayan kong matagal nang nagtitiis, hanggang kailan kayo magtitimpi’t magpipigil? Kapag hindi na ninyo maihakbang ang mga paa dahil wala ng lakas bunga ng kagutuman? Kapag hindi na maimulat ang mga mata o kaya’y pawang karimlan na ang nakikita?
Hindi bukas ang tamang pagkilos. Lalong hindi sa isang linggo. Hindi sa isang buwan. At lalong hindi sa isang taon. Kundi NGAYON!
Walang kandidato na lantarang nakadikit kay gloria ang may karapatan sa ating mga boto.
Sila ‘yung sagisag ng pagmamalabis at kawalang malasakit sa ating kapakanan. Wala silang habol kundi ang magpayaman habang nasa poder. Lalapit lamang sila kapag panahon ng eleksiyon. Maamong tupa ang kawangis kapag iniaabot ang kamay upang makipagdaop palad ngunit katakot takot na PWE kapag nakatalikod sapagkat nandidiri sa nanlilimahid nating kaanyuan na sila rin ang dahilan.
Ang sino mang botante na padadalang muli sa gasgas ng pangako ay hindi lamang TANGA kundi tunay na wala ng tinatanaw na PAG-ASA.
Bilangin natin ang ating sarili. Ilan tayong narito sa Ellenville? I presume that we all agree na dapat malaman ng mga kapwa nating Pilipino ang mga nangyayari sa kapaligiran. Papano natin maikakalat ang mga mensaheng ito sa Sambayanang Pilipino? We must do something concrete.
How many Filipinos have access to this and similar like-minded sites? How shall we propagate this?
The common tao is busy trying to survive on a day-to-day basis? He/she has no time for intellectual ejaculations. It’s not that they are calloused. This is just not their priority at the moment.
Papano natin sila magigising sa katotohanang mahalaga ang nalalapit na eleksyon (kung mayroon man)?
Any suggestions?
“Ang tingin ng marami sa atin sa eleksyon ay isang masayang okasyon kung saan umuuwi tayo na busog ang tiyan at kung swertehin ay may pabaon pa.”
Hahahahaha!
I hate to be the doomsayer, but really, what i can see is that gloria would do anythimg to stop the elections. she would take the chance of the people’s wrath and hope that the Filipinos have totally been apathetic that they would not do anything at all to drag her out of Malacanang. I just hope the we, as a people would learn to take action where action and how drastic it may be, is necessary.
gloria and fatso would place all their hopes to the generals they have put in place to shield them from the people’s wrath.
On lorelei’s promouncemnt that she has been a good president, WTF! pardon that, but i really mean that!
In my honest opinion, they should all be castigated publicly and hanged for all the peoplde to witness, domestic and international, as this could send a chilling signal to each and everyone that the Filipinos has had enough of hoodwinkers that we would not hesitate to punish those who have trampled upon our person.
“Kaya Natin”… “Moral Force”… “Education Nation”… plus many, many more well-meaning groups…
All these could tie up into one umbrella group to be a strong force against the corrupt regime.
Ang problema, may grupo bang papayag magpa-“under” sa ibang grupo dito para lamang magkaisa?
Pinoy, eh…
kaibigang enciong….iisa ang takot at pangamba pero kaniya-kaniyang kilos, walang pagkakaisa ang mamamayang pilipino.
masyadong malalim na ang sugat dahil sa pulitika kaya mahirap mapagkaisa ang juan dela cruz…siguro magsimula sa atin ang pagkilos marami tayong magagawang paraan upang salungatin at di umayon sa mga pangyayari…at baka sakali ang mga organisadong grupo ang makiisa sa ating layunin na magkaisa para sa pagbabago.
yang election 2010 ay marami pang posibleng mangyari, pero ang pagtutol sa mga appointees nila, o pag-iingay sa di nila pagkilos sa mga usapin, ang paghingi natin ng agarang kasagutan sa mga katiwalian…maraming paran na dapat lang na tayo mismong mamamayan ang magbigay ng ultimatum sa kanila at huwag mistulang umaayon at sunod-sunuran na lamang…at pag may malaking usapin ay konting ingay lang tapos maglalaho din ang momentum ng pagsigaw at pag-iingay ni juan dela cruz…
kaya malakas ang loob nila sapagkat routine ang kilos ng masa, pag may isyu ay todo ingay tapos ilang linggo lamang wala na ulit tapos hindi tayo marunong magbigay na ultimatum na bigyan ng agarang kasagutan at kalutasan ang lahat ng isyu at usaping kinasasangkutan ng rehimeng ito.
kumilos ngayon na at siguro tayo muna sa umpisa baka sakali lumago ang pagkilos at makarating sa higit na nakakarami ang ating tunay na layunin na magbigay kaalaman sa mga usapin ng bansa, maging isang aktibong kabahagi upang hadlangan ang mga pagmamalabis ng rehimen ito at hadlangan ang kanilang masamang balakin na siguradong magdadala sa ating bansa sa isang malaking trahedya sa malapit na hinaharap.
tama na muna ang opinion at palitan ng kuro-kuro, siguro ang sama-samang pagkilos natin ang ating pag-usapan…malinaw pa sa sikat ng araw ang mga signos at babala na hangad nila ang malacanang hambambuhay.
ganun sila kaganid at kagarapal na handang isakripisyo ang demokrasya ng ating bansa para sa kanilang sariling interes.
gising na mga kaibigan…gising na
Sabi ni Lorelei“She has been a good president”.
ito naman ang sabi ng bible:
Mat 6:22 The light of the body is the eye; if then your eye is true, all your body will be full of light.
Mat 6:23 But if your eye is evil, all your body will be dark. If then the light which is in you is dark, how dark it will be!
Unawa nýo?
Bawat isa ay may kalayaang sabihing siya ay mabuti. Walang makakahadlang sa kanya ano man ang sabihin ng iba. Pero tandaan natin, ang nagtataas sa sarili ay ibabagsak ng Dios.
Ka Enciong: Amen sa sinabi ninyo..we have to be united and we can be united..if we want our country to be united..We can do it..we can start with out family..the smallest unit..and spread out like a ripple in a still water..barangay..municipal..etc. we have to be committed though..and we have to be alert..and watchful..ang bayan muna..
Sabi ni Lorelei“She has been a good president”.
Sa mga Bible character, lahat ng pangalan na ibinigay sa mga great man of God ay hango sa kung ano sila. Meaning, manifestation ng ugali o character ng tao. Nagkamali kaya ang magulang ni miss Lerelei sa pagbigay sa kanya ng pangalan? Parang hindi!
Ang alam ko matagal ng gising ang bayan ka enciong; siguro ang dapat na panawagan ay “bangon na bayan”. kasi gising nga nakahiga pa rin. Panawagan sa mga professor ng mga eskwelahan: kung ako sa inyo, i will require your student na magprehistro sa comelec, bilang tanda ng pagbangon mula sa pagkakahiga sa banig ng katamarang makiisa sa botohan.
I do agree the law should prevail..but para kay Gloria..ang ibig niyang sabihin ay Ako ang masusunod.. ako! ang lo-ko..
Incidentally, iisa na lang pala ang naiwan sa bidding..bakit hindi ba ibibigay sa kanila kung talagang gusto ni Milo ang automated..why not go back sa manual..isn’t it a bit too late to go automated..paano ang mga lugar na walang electricity? ay gawawa ang probinsiya ko..maraming lugar ang hindi naabot ng koriente..
hindi ba ang pangalan ni Fajardo ay Lore lie! she is just being true to her name..
There is a silent group moving inside malakanyang under the sickritari up dyastis. They are called the Mental Force and established their headquarters at the National Mental Institute.
With ingkong Raul as set of officers ay sina Lore-lie Fajardo, Anthony Gales, Cerge Repunde, and many others acting as mouthpieces of the pidals. Their adviser is no other than Anna’s kababayan, Eduardo Ermita-e.
How did this Cerge Repunde pass the Senate confirmation so easily is a big question!
Bakit magka-kaiba ang interpretasyon kung puwede pang tumakbo sa pagka-Pangulo si Erap. Hindi ba maliwanag sa ating Batas kung sino lang ang puwedeng tumakbo sa pagka-Pangulo? Bakit itong ating mambabatas magkaka-iba din ang alam? Di ganun din sa SC iba-iba din? Ang maliwanag lang bang sinabi ay yong 40 yrs. old lang ang puwede? Ginawa ba yang ating Batas para pag-debatehan na magiging away? Ginawa ba ang ating Batas para mag-away-away tayo? Kaya ba itong nandayang Pangulo na ito ay gustong baguhin ang ating Batas na ganun na lang.
Ang pagka-alam ko ang Batas ay ginawa para may susundin tayo at hindi pag-aawayan.
Tama nga naman si Danarica.
Ang ating mga propesor ang isa sa dapat na manguna upang himukin ang kanilang mga estudyante na magparehistro at gamitin ang kanilang karapatang pumili ng tamang mamumuno.
Daan daang libo ang mga mag-aaral na maaari nang bumoto at sa kalipunan ng mga mag-aaral na iyan ay namamayani ang pag-asam ng isang may kabuluhang bukas sa ilalim ng kanilang pipiliing kandidato. Kabataan ang sinandigan ni Gat Jose Rizal na pag-asa ng ating bayan kaya marapat lamang na ang mga kinauukulan ay gisingin ang kanilang kamalayan at turuang gamitin ang samasama nilang tinig at paninindigan.
British parliamentary Speaker to quit in scandal
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/world/05/19/09/
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
Buti pa sila, may kahihiyan at konsensiya.
Sina gloria? ‘Alaaaang kawentawenta!
The final arbiter is the Supreme Court. There’s gray area in Erap’s case. Legal experts have different legal opinions. But one thing is certain: The presidentiables especially the Malacanang camp are worried about Erap’s running again.
Sa tingin ko, lahat ng senyales para di matuloy ang halalan sa 2010 ay nakalantad na. Madaling sabihin na aalsa ang mga tao kung mangyari ito pero kung hindi kakampi sa atin ang mga sundalo ano sa palagay ninyo ang mangyayari?
Gloria was not even qualified to run in the 2004 elections in the first place..
Ang militar ang SUSI ng katatagan ng Pinas Ka Boyner, kaya todo suhol sa mga General problems natin upang protektahan nila yaong mga naghaharing-uri sa ating lipunan.
Walang magagawa ang sinuman kung ang Sandatahang Lakas ng Pinas + Kapulisan e magiging protektor ng Bayan…ang kaso e sila ang kunsintidor sa kagaguhan ng mga pulitiko eh.
Tuloy sandamakmak na problema ang kinakaharap ng Pinas at kuba na ang Pinoy sa ka ek-ekan ng rehimeng Arroyo.
Ngayon e kinukundisyon nila ang ISIP ng mga Pinoy upang manatili sila sa kawalang-hiyaan…ABA e iba na yang usapan.
Makikita natin kung saan talaga ang loyalty ng AFP/PNP? Sa pagtatanggol ba sa Constitution or mga Power grabbers. Kaya dapat tuloy ang 2010…or else dapat may CONTIGENCY PLAN na ang taong-bayan for any eventuality sa 2010?
Gloria was not even qualified to run in the 2004 elections in the first place..?
Kazuki, poor Philippines…our beloved country na puspos ng dusa at kahihiyan.
Aba naman e ang mga botateng Pinoy na nagluklok kay GMA e row four ang takbo ng mga utak, suportahan ba naman yong numero unong sinungaling…bakit ka mo kasi remember ko pa na di raw siya tatakbo sa 2004.
Hay naku, ang ibig pala niyang sabihin e di siya tatakbo upang atrasan ang 2004. Kaya heto ginawa ang lahat ng hokus-pokus upang manalo sa daya.
Ang tsismis, e noEL daw…double meaning pala kaya ginugulo ang pag-iisip ang taong-bayan upang wasakin ang hanay ng Masang Pilipino/Civil society/Walang Paki party/Elitista.
Wise move upang maka-lipat bakod ang mga TUTA ni GMA upang mapasama sila sa hanay ng mga tatakbong kandidato, so sure panalo uli ang mga iyan at back to tronggreso at senado.
Simple arithmitic di ba! Mga switik….
BE, personally, I would like Erap to just be a “king maker” instead. He was given a chance to be the president but he blew it! He would not have been dethroned by the pandak if he was doing his job. His choices of men around him at that time were the likes of sabit swingson, Ang and the like. The same people are now seving the bitch! If he had his heart in really helping all sectors of the government, he would probably even be reelected. A Philippine president can not just work for the “masa”. He has to be able to balance the governance between the rich and the poor. Even Obama when he won realized that immediately and had to correct himself. Obama wanted to increase taxes on those making $ 250,000 or more. Now he is rethinking if he should tax them.
Unfortunately, it is just an illusion of the poor that if Erap will be elected they will have a good life. Our country has an economy that is no better than Bangladesh. Our country had been and continue to be looted by those in power including their cronies. It is a very vicious cycle. Unless we have an iron hand to make sure that these LOOTERS will be punished, we will remain a PIGGY BANK of these leaders who are really ROBBERS!
I beg to disagree with you, my friend. Even during the campaign, Erap’s enemies were already destroying him. If you recall, even the late Cardinal Sin kept attacking Erap during the campaign. Fortunately, Erap won by a large margin even if attempts were made to cheat him. The Dagdag-Bawas scheme of FVR did not work. From day one in office, Erap’s enemies did not stop. A grand conspiracy was hatched involving the church, military officials mostly led by FVR camp, the Makati Business Club, then Cory’s Yellow group and of course GMA’s behind the scene maneuver through her husband. Add to this was the gang-up on him by the giant media networks. ABS-CBN and the Lopezes then were still unfriendly to Erap. The communists did not also want Erap. The rest is history.
BE, you are entitled to your own opinion and I am entitled to mine. He had a lot of things that he did wrong too.
BE, also, it is our culture that a leader has to be able to at least be fluent in English somehow as the elite tend to look up to the President for some guidance in that language. Erap was the topnotch “PINOY JOKES KING”. I hate to bring this up becasue I am one of those who believe that this should not be the case, that education is secondary to someone’s passion to govern but unfortunately, our country has a different expectation. The Filipinos even accept a CORRUPT illegal president but has a DOCTORATE degree and they are willing to watch her destroy the country. But she is LEARNED, they say. It defies all logic but this is very true!
OK lang maging KRIMINAL basta may pinagaralan. What a hypocricy indeed!
PSB,
Erap actually speaks good English, better in fact than the Assumptionista, with good diction and all as a matter of fact, but that does not make him a good president.
For me and my friends, he should retire from politics and return to the movies maybe if he wants something to while away his time, and be comatose before he leaves this life.
He can make documentaries like his “Live for the Masses” that has frightened the Malacanang squatters to their wits that they had people watching it go to jail, etc.
Truth is I have a feeling that putting up Erap as the leader of the Opposition is part of the fraudulent schemes of the dorobos to confuse the Filipino voters, for from our point of view, we do not see any advantage of having Erap at the helm of the opposition as a matter of fact. Parang decoration lang para kunyari democratic process meron daw!
Ulol di ba?
…and not be comatose before he leaves this life…..
I beg to disagree with you again, parasabayan. A Filipino leader doesn’t have to be fluent in English. If this should be the criteria, Noli de Castro and even Manny Villar are out of the race. Lito Lapid should be kicked out from the Senate.
Those congressmen with thick Ilocano and Bisayan accent shouldn’t be in Congree.
But I agree that Erap was with the wrong group of people during his short presidency. Not with his cabinet members most of whom are decent and competent.
Kaya nga kasalanan nila kung bakit bulok ang gobyerno nila. You hit the nail by calling them kind of people “hypocrites.” Golly, lumabag ng batas—nagnakaw ng boto, tinapakan ang saligang batas, etc.—best president pa raw!? Wow!
Sa amin iyan, kinukulong kung hindi kayang magpakamatay for honor and dignity. Taragis, ang kapal pa ng mukha, pakurap-kurap pa pag kaharap iyong mga kalalakihan niya. Walang isang salita (word of honor) wala pang puri at dangal. Burikak nga e.
Kawawang Pilipinas talaga!
At least Money Villar graduated from UP. Kung hindi siya marunong mag-English eh di kicked out na yan. Noli was a newscaster, he should be fluent as well. Lito, eh litong lito pa rin. Kung hindi niya type and hearing, hindi na lang siya darating…heh,heh,heh. I just do not know the criteria of choosing leaders. It seems like yung maka “masa” eh makamandag talaga!
Yuko, when I saw the senatorial line up of Erap which included Enrile(on top of his list), Miriam Defensor(2nd on his list) and Gina de Venecia (wife of the ever corrupt tengang daga who enjoyed the perks while he had it and turned opposition kuno when his son Joey lost the ZTE-NBN deal), I said, WHAT? Is he the TROJAN HORSE NOW?
I have never heard Villar speak in English. Noli? Did you hear him speak in English as Senator and Vice President?
The point is, one doesn’t have to be FLUENT in English as you said. If a Filipino doesn’t speak or is weak in speaking the national language which is Tagalog, then that’s wrong. Just go around the Congress and you shall find many of the solons from the south who don’t speak a bit of Tagalog.
BTW, registration of OFWs for the OAV is going slow because of lack of funds and manpower, and worse, lack of interest among the majority of Filipinos, especially those who have no time to spare to think about the welfare of their country and people. Iyong pamilya lang daw nila, ubos na ang panahon nila.
The usual excuse is “Bakit pa boboto? Ganoon din naman, magnanakaw din ang uupo!” Kung sabagay, totoo. Amenado silang lahat na magnanakaw iyong nakaupo sa Malacanang. Hindi ko nga lang maintindihan kung bakit may gusto pang um-attend ng reception ni Gloria Dorobo na ginastusan ng revenues na kinolekta sa kanila. Unbelievable talaga!
BE, it is not just the fluency I am talking about but someone has to understand correspondences and respond accordingly without having to pass it on to someone to do that.
Erap’s senatorial line up is only temporary and I would like it to be revised. Yes, Enrile and Santiago should not be in the list. As for Gina de Venecia, she’s okay. She’s not JDV anyway. What I like about Erap is that he’s considering Gen. Danny Lim and even Col. Querubin in his ticket.
But parasabayan, there are secretaries and assistants to do that for the guy. I don’t think the late Pres. Ramon Magsaysay was fluent in English.
Erap, I am sorry to say, to me is becoming more like a nuisance candidate. Tumigil na sana siya. He is sowing more intrigues more than anything. He should just enjoy all his wives, his children, his achievements and watch the sunset. TAMA NA!
Really, PSB, kasama din si Brenda sa line-up ng senatorial bets ni Erap? Aba, sira pala ang ulo ng taong iyan!
I can understand his feeling for Enrile, pero iyong endorsement kay Brenda, unbelievable! Unbelievable katangahan sa totoo lang!
Trojan horse, sabi mo. I feel the same. Whether he knows it or not, he is being used by the dorobos to perpetrate their evil schemes to undermine the intelligence of Filipinos, majority of whom are lamentably as gullible as they seem to be even now. The words in fact is walang kadala-dala ang mga pilipinong nagpapaguyo kay Erap, et al.
BE, I like him to be the “father” of the opposition. His senatorial like up in 2007 was so good. I know that he will again have a good line up now for the 2010 elections. Huwag na lang siyang tumakbo. Just give the presidency to someone with fresh ideas. Yng wala ng excess baggage na dinadala. Erap’s reputation is already so bruised. The elite will never respect him. Let us elect someone who can be a conduit to both- the elite and the masa.
Si Manong Erning Maceda pa nga ang nagsulat ng mga senatoriables niya a few months ago.
BE, noong panahon ni Magsaysay, the expectations were not as high as now.
I can understand Erap why he wants to run again. He wants to vindicate himself. He has everything in life and tasted everything the world could give. At his age, all he wants is to clear his name and see if majority of the people still love him. Between a divided opposition with so many candidates some of whom are fake opposition and Erap, I would pick Erap.
Sa totoo lang, maraming grassroot movement leaders who are more qualified to sit in the Senate and Congress of the Philippines because they know the problems and can share better than the personalities being picked up by Erap who are even well-known crooks. Sila ang dapat na ini-scout to help clean up the Philippine government. Ang kailangan lang naman nila tamang incentive, and maybe, right orientation.
Kaya kami dito, we are having our own Opposition line-up. Di na namin dadalhin ang opposition having connection with Erap.
Problema iyong mga unggoy natakot sa lakas ng OFW political power kaya ginagawa ng mga unggoy na supilin sila with new amendments such as disqualification of dual citizens from seeking national position for instance. Iyan ang ulol sa totoo lang!
Yun nga ang problema BE, the secretaries are not substitutes. A president should understand everything he touches, sees, hears. He almost have to have a 6th sense as well.
While we’re discussing about Erap and his ticket, the Senate has now shifted to investigate the Dr. Hayden Koh and Katrina Halili scandal. If this happens, the ongoing hearing on C-5 Road scandal and all other past scandals would be overtaken again. The recent “Noodle” scandal has not even been looked into yet.
Parasabayan, the Evil Bitch has all the senses not only 6th sense; yet, what has she done to our country?
Nope, PSB, the expectations were as high as now. The only difference was there still was some code of morality people then were holding on although it was starting to erode with the usual graft and corruption.
I was a little girl still then, but I remember my parents discussing politics and the anomalies/scandals on the breakfast table and my mother getting hooked to Rafael Yabut or Arsenio Lacson bombast the issues of the day.
At least, then, freedom of the press was held sacred, and as long as they tell the truth, no one got sued in court for libel!!!
Ooops, grammatical error. This should read, “…and as long as they told the truth,…”
BE, would it be vindication or vengeance? Again, do not get me wrong here, I like Erap as a person. I met him several times and I know that he is a very sincere person. But so much has happened to him already. Kung baga sa itlog, basag na ang pula. That is all.
Magsaysay was in a way fortunate that he died at the height of his fame, for I doubt if people would have the same awe and respect for him now if he did not with all the graft and corruption, anomalies and scandals being exposed at the time of his death.
One of Magsaysay’s critics in fact was the former mayor of Manila, the fiery and fearless Arsenio Lacson.
Parasabayan, thanks for respecting my opinion. I have a solution for Erap if he wants to run again assuming there’s no legal impediment. He should pick a good Vice President. Then, he should turn over to his vice the presidency after three years meaning they split the 6-year term.
Grizzy, I do remember Paeng Yabut. He was even shot in the mouth and survived. I also remember Damian Soto.
I should add, “Now you tell the truth, but if it can hurt the dorobos in Malacanang, you go to jail!” Yuck! Ang saklap!
Yabut was shot during the Martial Law years right?…cuz I don’t remember hearing about him being the target of assassination when we were still in the Philippines. Ah, those were the days!
PSB,
Give me five! I feel the same about Erap.
Dismaya ako sa kaniya when he agreed to swallow his pride and whatever honor and dignity left in him accepting his guilt even when there was no reason for him to admit he committed plunder for accepting bribed from the jueteng lord, Chavit Singson, just to be free (daw), and now, tell his fans and supporters to elect the very same crooks conniving with the criminal in Malacanang just because they are his personal friends.
Nakakasuka talaga. Pwe!
I think Yabut was shot before Martial Law. Btw, Yabut was a Kapampangan. I don’t know if he was related to the former Makati Mayor Nemesio Yabut.
BE, in fairness, I can settle for the shared presidency. I want to see him prosecute the pandak though. Unless he does not SAY THIS IN HIS CAMPAIGNS, he will not get my vote. He has to openly promise that he will clean up this CORUUPT government. Then I may look the other way.
Among the presidentiables, who do you think will really prosecute the Evil Bitch? I think only Erap will do it.
When he initially published the list of his senatoriables, I was dismayed, I also wished that the upright senatoriables will not join his slate. Nawalan ako ng gana. I hope he will revise his list. Faeldon was also on his list. With the questionable death of his wife, I do not know if he should run. That is life that was lost and we do not know what really happened behind the scenes. So many questions unanswered.
June 7 ang celebration ng Phil. Indeendence Day sa New York City…ang guest of honor daw ay si VP Noli de Castro..ang akala ko na sa show biz siya..bakit sinasabi na hindi siya marunong mag Ingles?
Gee, I just read the Inquirer. Pareho pala kami ng posisyon ng CBCP. Sabi nila kay Erap, maging “adviser” na lang siya ng susunod na presidente. I was first though to suggest that. I do not cater to the CBCP. To me they are just as evil as the bitch. Makatanggap lang sila ng white envelope, okay lang sa kanila ang CRIMINAL activities ni pandak. I lost respect for this religious group in the Philippines. I am NOT missing Cardinal Sin either.
psb,
Failon yata, hindi Faeldon.
Sabi na kasing bawasan ang sobrang kape, eh!
Kulang sa asukal at krimir. Dagdagan mo din ng konting tubig.
Magagalit sa iyo si Habib kapag matigas ang iyong kuwan, ulo, dahil nag-aalala siya sa iyong kalusugan.
Ano na nga pala ang balita kay Capt Faeldon?
Kay ex-Capt Atty Rivas?
Thanks Starch. Heh,heh,heh…nag red wine kasi ako. Medyo tipsi siguro.
O, tipsi naman ngayon.
Sobrang asukal ‘yan eh,
Ulser at dayabetis ang bagsak mo n’yan.
Erap, isang pakiusap. Mag-retiro ka na.
Sikat man wala ng nagtitiwala sa iyong kakayahan. Maawa ka naman. Dahil din sa iyo kaya kami naghihirap ng ganito.
Ikaw ang ugat ng punong namumunga ng kawalanghiyaan nina gloria arroyo!
‘Yung anak mo, si Jinggoy, isa rin sa mga bumababoy sa ating batas. Sukat bang pumayag na ma-promote ‘yung daga ng sunodsunod na ilang beses?
Hindi mo alam? Sus! Walang take two dito. Totohanan ito.
Buhay namin at kinabukasan ang matagal nang sira. Hindi sa inyo!
Tama na! Sobra na!
Starch, ha?
Hindi kaya banggit n’yo kunyari na Stars, pero may lumalabas na hangin at sumasabog ang laway kapag binibigkas?
Joke only.
Anyway, thanks. At least, sosyal.
Opinyon ko lang, not even Erap will prosecute Gloria. Sasabihin lang niya, “pinatawad ko na siya, matagal na”.
Trillanes for president! Ay, wala pa pala sa edad!
Chi,
Alam mo’y hindi ako kumporme diyan sa pagbibigay diin nila kung ano’ng tamang edad upang maging kuwalipikado sa pagka-presidente, eh.
Puwede na naman ‘yung trenta y singko dahil kahinugan ng isipan at malinaw pa ang katwiran bukod pa sa hindi pa nakukulapulan ng kalawang ang matinong paninindigan.
Dapat, ang limitahan nila ay kung hanggang anong tamang edad maaaring kumandidato dahil kapag sumobra na sa sisenta y singko aba’y inuuod na utak at wala ng mabungang pamamalakad.
Gayundin ang miyembro ng gabinete kung saan kita naman natin kung sino sino sa kanila ang balik na sa pampers dahil wala ng pakinabang na matino ang bayan sa kanilang mga katwiran.
Alalahanin natin, UMIIGSI ang life span ng tao, gayundin ang productive reasoning lalo’t matagal nang bihasa sa sayaw na rigodon.
A simple solution! Get The NPA run the government, purge all and from thereon we strive to get a better administration.
Valdemar,
We are not that frustrated to seek leadership from another oppressor (knowing you have Joma in your mind) as there is no guarantee the CPP/NPA can be an effective tool for change.
Try suggest another alternative. Please.
Who is this Liway-Gaw to ask Erap to retire? Yes, what’s your alternative? Noli de Castro? Bayani Fernando? Teodoro?
kaibigang BE,
nasubukan na si erap…at sana naman may iba pang pagpipilian
noli de castro????
bayani fernando????
gibo teodoro????
baka sakali meron pa pero sana naman maging daan na lang si erap ng pagkakasundo ng oposisyon at tumayong simbolo ng oposisyon.
mahabang usapin ang isyu ni pangulong erap…pero sana naman may iba pa…
What I mean another alternative is a would be leader who will serve the people with all his heart and not exploit and abuse the people’s trust.
A leader who will not acquaint with and distance himself from known undesirable personalities and appoint less qualified to cabinet.
Erap for president? NO!
Erap to symbolize the opposition and bring them all together to crush the present delusioned leadership and act as an adviser to the coalition? Yessss!
Aren’t we free here to express our opinion and suggestion?
Just asking.
If the 2010 election was only between Erap and Unana, I’d vote for the babaero anytime. But the coming election, if there would be, is not about Erap nor Gloria, it’s about Pinas’ new beginning (kung sakali).
Sa totoo lang, kung ang mga pangalan lang na palaging nababanggit sa news ang maglalaban, dalawa lang sa kanila ang aking pinag-aaralan…si Ping at si Dick. Kung si Ping ay magbi-bise kay Mar ay kay Dick ang boto ko.
Liway,
Type na type ko talagang maging Pinas pangulo ang taong may attitude na gaya ni Trillanes, sayang lang at takot nilang baguhin ang Konstitusyon para pababain ang edad ng pampanguluhan. Kung anu-anong kabulastugan ang gustong i-amienda para ipasok si Nunalisa e ang daming mahahalagang isyu na dapat nilang isingit dun. Oh well, mga tongressmen nga pala sila.
What about you, sino ang iyong napipisil kung ang mga naglilitawang pangalan lang ang choices? Walang dagdag ha? We agree to disagree on our choices, walang singhalan. 🙂

Aren’t we free here to express our opinion and suggestion?
Just asking.
….You wouldn’t be here if we’re not free.
Fake President Arroyo has more than doubled her wealth since she replaced deposed President Joseph Estrada in 2001.
Mrs. Arroyo’s latest sworn statement of assets and liabilities and net worth (SALN) filed with the Office of the Ombudsman on April 30 showed her P44.9 million richer than in the previous year.
Her total declared assets in 2008 stood at P177.179 million but her liabilities in the form of net payables amounted to P33 million, leaving her with P144.539 million.
In 2007, the President’s SALN showed her total assets at P99.616 million, or P11 million higher than in 2006.
When she assumed the presidency in 2001, her declared net worth was only P66.747 million. As president, her annual salary is P693,000.
Her shares of stocks, declared under the category of personal and other properties, stood at P110.437 million last year.
BE, huwag kang pikon tungkol kay Erap. Really, with all the BAD press, it would be best for everyone if he will just be in an advisory capacity now.
Trillianes will have his time to be a leader. He has the right elements to be one. He has to still be tempered. Masyadong mapusok ang masyadong batang leader. Let us leave the age limit specified now in our constitution. Our elders must have known better.
BE, yang SAL ni pandak eh hindi kasama yung billions na ninakaw at ninanakaw pa niya na naka-deposito sa ibang bansa. Kaya nga panay ang layas ng bruha, para mag-withdraw tuwing may impreachment. Ngayon naman kailangan niyang mag-withdraw para sa CHA-CHA. In a few months, aalis na naman siya para sa election campaign expenses ng mga alipores niya. Itong dagang ito ay nagtago ng “cheese” habang may pera ang kaban ng bayan para magamit niya sa pansariling pangangailangan. Almost every contract eh may “cut” si Fatso. Go figure how many contracts our country entered into so far in almost 9 years. MARAMI!
Alam ba ninyo na ang mga pinuno ng mga mayayamang bansa tulad ng Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, China ay hindi nagsasalita ng Inglis (English) sa kanilang mga talumpati? Kung nasa White House sila may dalang interpreter. Kaya hindi dapat gawing batayan ang pagiging dalubhasa sa salitang banyaga tulad ng Inglis. Naaalala pa ba niyo ang sinabi ng ating mahal na bayani na si Dr. Jose Rizal tungkol sa hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika? Pero tama si BE at hindi lang mas magaling mag-Inglis si Erap sa ibang taga Assumption kundi sa ibang mga Atenista rin. Kita niyo si Pacman, dati walang alam na Inglis ngayon sa mga interview niya kahit tigas pa rin and diction at medyo limitado ang vocabulary, ay nakakasagot na ng English. Kasi may pera kayang magbayad ng personal tutor. Iyong mga biro at tukso sa English ni Erap ay ginawa niyang ginto sa libro niyang Eraption.
Lahat tayo dito sa blog ni Ellen ay iisa ang hangarin maliban doon sa mga espiya ni evil bitch, at ito ay ang katapusan ng pamahalaan ni Gloria Arroyo. Itong darating na halalan, marami ang tatakbo sa pagka Pangulo ngunit iisa lang ang kandidato ng mga Arroyo. Kung mahahati ang mga boto ng mga galit kay gloria at gagamitan pa ng dagdag bawas uli sa Mindanao, sino sa palagay ninyo ang mananalo?
Si Erap ay may malaking balwarte sa mga masa at ito ay napatunayan noong 2004 ngunit kung hindi nakumbinsi ni Sen. Lacson ang pinuno ng militar sa buong Mindanao na si Hen. Joselin Nazareno na huwag pagamit kay FVR malamang si Jose De Venecia ang nanalo. Kaya kung gusto nating maka seguro na ang mga Arroyo ay pananagutin sa kanilang mga kasalanan sa taong bayan at hindi pagtakpan at tulungan ng bagong pangulo, palagay ko si Joseph Estrada ang dapat nating tulungan at suportahan.
Totoo na ng siya ay tumakbo at mahalal bantog siya sa pagiging isang babaero, sugarol at mangiginom. SA Amerika ang mga naging mahusay na pangulo ay hindi perpekto. Si John Kennedy ay babaero. Si Ulysses Grant ay lasenggo.
Nang makulog si Erap, nabalitaan natin na siya ay nagbabasa ng Bibliya at tumigil na sa pag-inom at pag-sugal. Wala na rin tayong nabalitaan tungkol sa pangba-babae.
Alam ba niyo na kahit laging puyat sa sugal at inuman si Erap noon sa Malakanyang, mas maganda ang takbo ng ekonomiya ng Pilipinas kung e-kumpara sa unang taon ni Gloria Arroyo? Bakit? Dahil magaling ang hinirang niyang mamuno sa Dept of Finance, na si UP professor Benjamin Diokno. Maganda rin ang takbo ng PNP dahil kay Ping Lacson.
Ang Mindanao ay tahimik dahil hindi siya nagpakita ng takot sa MNLF at inutusan niya si Nazareno sa sakupin ang Camp Abubakar kaya nagsi likas ang mga pinuno ng MNLF at nagtago sa ibang bansa. Nagkaloko-loko ang ekonomiya dahil sa Makati Business Club at mga business oligarchs kasama na ang mga elitistang mayayaman at simbahang Katoliko sa pamumuno ni Sin dahil hindi nila matanggap ang katulad ni Estrada na maka masa. Sa tingin ko, dahil nagising na si Erap sa mga kamaliang nagawa noong siya ay nasa lukluk ng kapangyarihan, siya ay magiging isang mabuting pangulo na ang layunin ay makaiwan ng magandang ala-ala kung siya ay pumawi na.
By the way, I just came across the editorial of Ms Ninez Cacho-Olivares, editor-in-chief and publisher of Daily Tribune which I would like to share with the group:
Why be afraid of Joseph Estrada?
EDITORIAL
Click to enlarge
05/21/2009
Evidently, Malacañang, its allies and too many civil society types, including the Catholic bishops, are scared to death of a return of deposed President Joseph Estrada to the presidency, which is why they argue against his eligibility to run again, or tell him not to run again.
There went Malacañang, saying that the Constitution is iron-clad banning any former President from running again. And there went the airhead spokesman, Lorelei Fajardo, saying that Estrada should run as “Jose Velarde.”
They all fear his running for the top post because they all know that if he runs, there is little chance for their anointed to win the presidential polls.
As things stand, if Estrada is out of the running, the presidential polls would be a race among the weak candidates, which would then give these weak presidential aspirants, especially the Gloria candidate, a good chance of bagging the plum prize, on a minority vote, which would be no different from the 1992 elections, that incidentally was marked with fraud of the dagdag-bawas type, but was not too noticeable since there were too many candidates from whom to shave the votes.
With Estrada running in the race and knowing his popular base, the masses, the weaker presidential aspirants stand no chance of winning the presidency — and they know it.
While the arguments, legal or otherwise, continue to rage, what is not being factored in is the fact that none of those who oppose the second presidential run of Estrada, have the moral ascendancy to prevent his running.
Do the Catholic bishops have even the moral or political clout to tell Estrada not to run again, especially after they actively participated in a highly unconstitutional act in ousting Estrada? And haven’t they said that they would not engage in politics again? Who are these bishops to say who should or should not run, when it is the Filipino people who decide who they want to sit in Malacañang?
Do these civil society types, who come up with their so-called ChangePolitics have that moral or even political clout? Just who are they trying to fool? It was these types that, in 2004 stated that it would be better for Gloria Arroyo to cheat as long as the then opposition standard bearer, Fernando Poe Jr., doesn’t get to sit in Malacañang.
Will they change if Estrada runs? Hardly. They would rather their anointed cheat, as long as Estrada doesn’t get the presidency again.
As for the airhead Fajardo who advises Estrada to run as Jose Velarde, perhaps she can also advise the First Gentleman to run for the presidency as “Jose Pidal.”
What is amusing is the fact that those who say Estrada cannot run again, citing the Constitution, are the very ones who have an eye on the presidency, along with the allies of Gloria.
What is also not being factored in is the fact that this becomes a test case for the Supreme Court, because unlike the other former Presidents, Estrada, serving less than three years, was ousted through a coup d’ etat, as admitted by Gloria herself. And everyone knows that while the Davide Court ruled that Estrada had “constructively resigned,” there is no such mode of resignation in the 1987 Constitution and that the high court came up with that preposterous ruling to justify that which Davide and his justices unjustifably did at Edsa in 2001.
There is always that risk of the high court disqualifying Estrada, since the court is now filled with Arroyo justices who take their cue from her.
But this would be a second injustice dealt by the high court on Estrada.
Still, an interesting question to ask is this: If it was Gloria Arroyo, instead of Estrada, who was in Malacañang in 2000, and was ousted, would these aides and allies of Gloria argue against her eligibility? Wouldn’t they have the same arguments proffered by Estrada?
And, even more important, would a high court rule independently and fairly on Estrada’s case, or would it be ruling along political lines again?
Boyner, please provide the link instead of posting the entire article. I presume Ellen, the owner/moderator would advise you the same.
kaibigang BE…pag pinag-usapan natin ang yaman ng arroyo ay di tayo matatapos ng diskusyon, magmula kay dato, kay mikey kay daddy kingpin pidal kay tiyo iggy at kay mama gloria ay bilyones na ang declared assets nila di pa kasama yung tago at tinatagong kayamanan.
re issue of erap candidacy (again) ay pupuede at posibleng lumusot pa rin but the problem is not erap kung hindi yung adviser at malalapit na kaibigan niya na walang pinagkaiba sa malacananag mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration…gagamitin din nila ang malacanang for their vested interest.
off-topic…daming issue ng pinas pero si sen. alyas pogi at ang malacanang sumasakay sa showbiz issue, ganun kababaw ang mga trapos at lider natin ngayon…noodles overpricing, election automation, campaign infomercials ng mga admin senatoriables using govt funds, infra projects na overpricing at daming iba pa
si sen. alyas pogi talaga magpapapansin lang di pa bagay isyu…respect the rights of women daw at pambababae at pagiging maniac (looks whos talking?), tapos pangarap pang maging vp of the republic….utang na loob, maawa ka naman kay juan dela cruz!
bitchevil,
Ano ba ang masama kung magpahayag ng opinyon at suhestiyon?
Bakit iritado ka kapag hindi naaayon sa iyong kagustuhan ang komento? Kung hindi mo gusto, sa maayos na pahayag ay maipaparating mo ang iyong punto. Hindi ‘yung sisinuhin mo ang ibang tao. Masyadong personal, eh.
Sa ganyan nag-uumpisa ang hindi pagkakaunawaan. Kailangang maging mature ang reasoning natin. Palitan lang ng kuro. Walang away.
Alam nyo kaya ayaw umalis ng SALOT at CANCER na MANDARAYA at SINUNGALING dyan sa ating Palasyo ay dahil walang ibang bansa na tatanggap sa kanya, takot lang ng mga yon baka nakawin din yan ang kanilang puri at kayamanan. Yon lang ang last and final option nya which is to remain in power.
After all, karamihan naman ng mga kongressmen at mga alepores nya ay mga BAYARAN. Ang problema kaban ng bayan ang ginagamit nya. Kaya ako payag sa mungkahi ng taxi driver na ibitin ng patiwarik sa PLAZA MIRANDA si gloria kasama mga alepores nya at batuhin natin isa-isa, sa gayon wala nang pinuno na magwawalanghiya at magnanakaw. Sounds un-civilized, but what’s the option? We are pushed against the wall!!!!!!!! NAKU PAGNABASA ITO NI Lorelie Fajardo baka lalo nyang buyuhin amo nya na kumapit sa puesto. Pero sana MATAKOT na lang at lumayas na, TAKBO, LAYAS GLORIA LAYAS DALI !!!!!!!!!!!
Ex-soldiers, cops make for good mayors, too

Alam ba ninyo na ang mga pinuno ng mga mayayamang bansa tulad ng Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, China ay hindi nagsasalita ng Inglis (English) sa kanilang mga talumpati?
Boyner, sa totoo lang maraming hambog sa ating bayan… trying hard na mag-Ingles e kinakain naman ang diction. Look, si Brenda kung mag-Ingles ang sakit sa tengang pakinggan…ok tama yong grammar pero yong diction e nakakakulili ng tenga.
Nasabi mo pa…ang G-8 industrialize nations like Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Russia, and Canada (mix) e ang uunlad na mga bansa at heto ang China progressive din naman.
Kaya dapat pagyamanin natin kung ano ang mayroon tayo at dapat ito ang pag-ukulan ng gobyerno de bobo ni Gloria ang science & technology ang paunladin para maka-create tayo ng heavy industries na pang export.
Ang kaso e OFW ang pang export at pagnasarapan sa abroad hay naku tatalikuran na ang pagiging Pinoy. Wag mamamasamain ng marami…ang pera e nasa middle east not in USA or Europe, bakit po kasi ganito yon ang malaking market ng small to heavy industries na kayang bumili e ang mga Arabo kasi may pera sila.
Kaya ang laking competition ng mga rich countries na magbenta ng kanilang paninda sa Middle East. Kita nýo halos lahat ng brand ngayon e made in China pero ang may-ari e multinational companies.
Dapat ang ituro sa mga Pinoy e Arabic kasi around 2milyong Pinoy e nagtatrabaho dito sa middle east.
Pasintabi folks, kung mananalo ba si citizen ERAP this coming 2010 e ano sa palagay nýo? Ako e di mapalagay kasi nga kung nagawa ng EDSA 2 na agawan siya ng poder ng kapangyarihan e posible uling mangyari ito sapagka’t ang takot lang nila sa pobre.
Bakit po kasi kung mapatino ni ERAP ang Pinas e laking sampal sa mga West Pointer/Harvard at kung anu-ano pang graduates na sa isang dropped out e umunlad ang Pinas.
Montik nang mangyari ito sapagka’t He was the only sitting president ang bumawi sa halos lahat ng kampo ng mga rebeldeng MILF sa mindanao. But after na traydoring siya e walang isang kurap-mata e ibinalik lahat yong rebel camps sa mga rebelde.
During Tabako’s watch…di ba ang siste nga e yong Narciso Highway e ginawang foxhole ng mga rebelde, isang west pointer e bakit di niya nabawi ang mga kampo sa rebelde, sige nga?
Kaya igalang natin kung sino ang iboboto ng Masang Pilipino at kung ayaw ninuman doon sa nanalo e mag-antay after 6-years ng termino para legal at mapayapa ang paglilipat ng poder ng kapangyarihan. Di gaya ng ginawa nila last EDSA 2, yon lang.
Right, Erap succeeded in reclaiming the camps of the rebels despite strong opposition from the church. His enemies could not accept that he won the presidency by a landslide. The late Cardinal Sin and shrewd big businessmen wanted him ousted from day one. Add to this were the ambitious police and military officials mostly identified with Ramos.
Those who are asking what and who’s a better alternative to the current evil administration could read this:

BE, The Tribune had always been a pro-Erap paper. Siyempre, he is always favored.
What’s your point, parasabayan? If it is an opposition paper, does it necessarily mean it’s always pro-Erap?
I read Malaya and Tribune all the time because I like these two papers. So I know that Tribune always write good things about Erap. I do not have a problem with that otherwise I would not read these papers at all.
These days, the media appears to be friendly to Erap. With the exception of a few anti-Erap writers, many newspapers write favorably of Erap these days.
BE, Erap is not the topic here.
Erap is a good copy but it doesn’t mean most media people will vote for his return to Malacanang. I’m against his running for the presidency.
Please, please stop[ inserting Erap’s return of the come back angle. It’s irritating.
nice one ms. ellen…
kaibigang BE may ibang pagkakataon para pag-usapan ang isyu ni erap pero sabi nga ni ms. ellen…tama na
Excuse me, I’m not the only one who starts talking about Erap.
In today’s politics, his name will always be mentioned. Please check all the threads and you shall find Erap’s name inserted one way or another. He has become part and parcel of all these political talks.
And whether you guys are for or against Erap…agree or disagree with his running again, his name will always be there.
Erap’s name had been part of political history of the Philippines and it will be always there but insisting his comeback bid does not mean doing good to the country.
He’s been brought to Malacanan but did’nt really proved his worth as an effective president. Hate to say this, but what he did primarily was to prove his detractors wrong doing otherwise. Instead of bringing all the pro and against Eraps together on one table, he spent most of his time with his rumored midnight cabinet with dubious backgrounds, and we knew most of them including those who thought would be trusted but betrayed him in the end.
What made him lost most of would-be-won to his side was his “weather weather” lang and “mag-presidente ka muna” sarcastic challenges to whoever criticised him.
Remember one reporter whom Erap said them?
Whatever shortcoming Erap had in the past, I think he has learned his lesson. Erap is typical of most Filipinos following the padrino system. More than his taking advantage of others, he was taken advantage of. If he’s running again, the reason is to vindicate himself and prove that many people still love him. And hopefully, he would make the Malacanang criminals pay for their crimes.
Hi ms. ellen…
kung iyong mararapatin ay magkaroon sana ng topic sa pagtakbo muli ni dating pangulong erap upang mabigyan kasagutan lahat ng punto ni kaibigang bitchevil at ng sa ganun ay matapos na ang lahat ng pag-aalinlangan, opinyong pabor o laban man sa kaniya at mga posibilidad kung sakaling siya ay tumakbo, payagang tumakbo at makabalik sa malacanang.
kung iisipin ay makabuluhan din ang nasabing paksa, pero sana naman ang bigyan natin ng diin kung paano di na makakapandaya si gloria etal, kung paanong hindi na niya magamit ang afp at pnp sa masama nilang balakin at upang mapagbayaran niya lahat ng kasalanan at katiwalian sa kaniyang rehimen.
kung pahihintulutan ni ellen, ay maaring masagot na natin lahat ng punto ni kaibigang bitchevil…pero para sa akin at personal kung opinyon, siguro tama na at isulong naman ni dating pangulong erap ang liderato ng ibang lider ng bansa at maging simbolo ng oposisyon.
iwatcher,
Been suggesting that ever since.
Erap can vindicate himself by picking up and endorsing the right opposition standard bearer who would fulfill whatever he was not able to do during his short lived presidency.
More than his clout to the masses, his withdrawal from the race but picking up the best bet will give the opposition a better chance of winning in the coming national election, should there’ll be one than joining a free for all rumble. All he has to do is bring them all together, unite them and arrive to a common consensus.
Sacrificing each personal/political ambition is the main step that can crush the ruling insensitive administration.
kaibigang starch…
tama ang iyong mungkahi at suhestiyon ngunit kailangan natin pag-usapan kung bibigyan ng pagkakataon ni ms. ellen upang masagot ang mga punto ni kaibigang bitchevil, hangad natin na mabigyang linaw ang lahat ng usapin.
sa maraming pagkakataon ay sumasang-ayon ako sa mga pananaw at kuro-kuro ni kaibigang bitchevil, pero sa usaping erap muli sa pagkapangulo ay hindi ako umaayon…
parang simpleng pagpapaliwanag lamang….pinaalis nila si erap sapagkat kurakot (bagamat ang nakapaligid sa kanya ang kurakot, ay marami pa rin siyang pagkukulang bilang pinuno ng bansa)at ang ipinalit ay mas matinding kurakot…pareho lang pasakit sa bayan kaya siguro panahon naman para pumili ng ibang pinuno na matapat at pagkakatiwalaan ng masang pilipino…kung sino ay hindi natin alam pero malaki ang papel ni dating pangulong erap upang mapagkaisa ang oposisyon at maging tunay na simbolo ng oposisyon.
magkaisa para sa pagbabago at hindi para sa pagbabalik ng isa na namang trapo.
NO to trapos sa 2010!
As of now, I think the possible return of Erap has been discussed lengthily. later probably, I’ll do an article on that.
Okey ‘yan.
Basta walang pikunan. Diskusyon, kurokuro at mga pananaw lamang ang usapan. Walang personalan.
Alam nating karamihan dito ay humanga din noon kay Erap (kabilang ako)dahil sa kabila ng kakulangan niya ng pinag-aralan ay pinagkatiwalaan siya ng taong bayan upang sila ay pamunuan and the rest is bitter part of history.
iwatcher, Malacanang fears Erap the most not only because GMA knows she’s guilty of grabbing the power from him but she knows Erap is very hard to cheat. In 1998, despite attempts to cheat him and apply the Dagdag-Bawas scheme, Erap still won by a large margin.
Liwayway, as I earlier said, if the opposition remains divided and has many candidates, the logical thing to do is for Erap to run in order to neutralize the administration’s tremendous financial resources and political machinery.
Ellen, thanks for your patience and bearing with us in mentioning Erap. Yes, please come up with an article about him even if you don’t agree with his running again. We would appreciate if you could share with us your reasons for not supporting him.
Just FYI…
