‘Non-trapo’ campaign to be reviewed
by Wendell Vigilia
Malaya
What went wrong?
The amalgamation of ideas from various civil society, politicians and volunteers has caused an internal “struggle of perspective” in Sen. Noynoy Aquino’s presidential campaign, according to Liberal Party campaign manager Florencio “Butch” Abad.
A discussion on how Aquino’s presidential campaign is being run by his political strategists and handlers came in the wake of a drop in his approval rating and a sudden rise in that of Sen. Manuel Villar of the Nacionalista Party.
The latest Pulse Asia survey showed Aquino with 37 percent against the 35 percent of Villar who has bombarded the television industry with “his millions, or probably billions, worth of advertisements.”
“I’m sure there was a struggle of perspective on how to run the campaign,” he said in an interview in ANC’s “Strictly Politics.” “That’s the nature of the animal (the new LP).”
Abad, former Batanes representative and education secretary, said that during one of their brainstorming meetings a few months ago, one of the “purists” in the group even went as far as starting a debate on whether Aquino should place political advertisements in media.
“We should understand that there are purists who come from the ranks of non-conventional NGO groups (in the LP),” he said. “Many people who want to help are non-traditionalists and un-conventional who are entering a conventional arena (election).”
One of the known LP members from civil society is former social welfare secretary Corazon “Dinky” Soliman who, along with Abad and other key officials, defected from the Arroyo administration in 2005.
Abad said the conservatives thought there was no need for Aquino to engage in a traditional political campaign because it was a “people’s campaign and they will go out of their way (for Noynoy).”
He said the idea did not sit well with pragmatic politicians and when Villar “revved up” his campaign through a storm of advertisements and the use of TV personalities, they knew there was something wrong with the direction they were bringing the campaign to.
The former congressman said the sudden surge in Villar’s rating prompted them to review their objectives, Last Sunday, they spent the day focusing on how Aquino’s anti-graft and corruption message will be better sent across.
“We are in the process of focusing and sharpening our message in terms of translation, visuals and language,” he said.
Abad also disclosed that a new TV campaign ad will soon come out, focusing on what the Filipino people should expect to get if they vote for Aquino.
“We’ll clarify the message like when we vote for Noynoy, this is what it means…that’s the kind of emotional connection we want (to achieve),” he said.
Abad also dismissed Villar’s anti-poverty campaign, saying it is only an offshoot of a societal disease which is graft and corruption.
While Aquino does not micromanage his campaign, Abad said, his sisters led by Kris are regularly being consulted by party leaders on matters concerning fund disbursements and image packaging.
Abad said since they need someone to run their communications division fully time, Yolly Ong was replaced by Maria Montelibano who, at first, was just helping the LP in the field.
He said they have also agreed to zero in on the grassroots level by rallying their local government counterparts to help them in the provinces and far-flung towns which are being capitalized on by both Villar and Gilbert Teodoro, the administration standard-bearer.
Abad, however, said that while the “euphoria” caused by former President Corazon Aquino’s death may have already settled down, he does not believe that the “Cory magic” has waned.
The former Arroyo ally said they trust in the wisdom of the Filipino people in choosing Noynoy for not being a corrupt politician. “That (message) resonates so strongly,” he said.
“We’ll not lose. I don’t think so. We’ve been leading from the start and we still are despite everything that has been thrown at us, including the kitchen sink,” he said.
Sen. Francis Pangilinan, campaign manager of the LP senatorial slate, said they have divided the 12 into two groups – the “anti-corruption” and the “anti-poverty” team.
Former Senate President Franklin Drilon leads the anti-corruption team along with Bukidnon Rep. Teofisto Guingona III, Akbayan party-list Rep. Risa Hontiveros, detained former Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim, lawyer Alexander “Pinoy” Lacson, and women and Muslim rights advocate Jasmin Busra-Lao.
The anti-poverty team is led by former senator and socio-economic secretary Ralph Recto who is joined by former Bukidnon congressman Neric Acosta, Muntinlupa Rep. Ruffy Biazon, Sonia Roco, Dr. Martin Bautista, and former senator Sergio Osmeña III.
The LP camp criticized Villar, saying his “dismal attendance record” at the Senate showed his “priority of ambition above service.”
Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said Villar “should be the last person to speak on the issue of competence and service toward country.”
“His Senate record clearly shows that of all the senators, he has the worst attendance record. What kind of competence does Villar boast about when he was only present in 15 Senate sessions? And of those sessions, he was late 12 times, while his colleagues burned the midnight oil over important matters of state,” Lacierda said.
That’s the problem of expecting from the people too much. The spirit of Ninoy and Cory have no direct effect to the real spirit of Noynoy. Not sure if he can lead the country. With Noynoy’s personality and still single at 50? that will tell me that Noynoy really did not want to run for the presidency and don’t like to take a bigger responsibilities. Noynoy was told to run. The decision was not coming from him but by the many people who are still willing to sell their votes.
It’s going to be an interesting wowowee election!!!!
Hindi pala umubra ang “good versus evil”.
Trapo campaign lang naman pala ang bagsak. At least klaro.
Habang naghihilahan pababa itong kampo ni Villar at Noynoy,malamang niyan si Erap ang aakyat.Pabor kay Erap iyang nagbabangayan ang dalawa.
Villar has spent 3B+ already, willing to go as high as 6B…at the back of my mind I fear Villar will win, most Filipinos are easily swayed by commercials, movies, celebrity endorsers, and money…too bad…really…
…Bong Revillas leading in the senate race? what do we expect, we’re a country that worships actors/actresses, some people even question the church mnore than these “pretend” people (thats why they’re called actors)…Villar is just capitalizing on these weaknesses…
Their fault is primarily in not recruiting New Faces and New Names, however obscure, to join the party.
It would have been a very strong message for Real Change.
The name Aquino would have negated the unpopularity of the New Recruits.
Good for them, though. The Aquinos, like the Estradas, etc. don’t deserve to be in any office.
But who’s your choice Sumpit?
Any idea?

The problem with the campaign team of the Nonoy-Mar tandem is that, it’s mostly comprised of elite group. Who would believe this elitist group, they are the same group who removed the duly elected president in 2001 and are now crying “Wolf”!
Next, they rely too much of the so called “cory magic” (no disrespect to the president) sad to say it only works when the late president passed away, after that what happened? The other candidates are spending money for their campaign ads, but the Nonoy-Mar tandem is not.
I read in one of the news prints today, that they are riding on the “People Power” to propel the tandem to win the election, but not spending. My question to this elitist, where are the money contributions going?
I suggest to the people around the tandem to read the column of Lito Banayo for them to find out how deep the camp of money villarroyo is and learn from that.
The most important thing is the LP should removed the “elitist tag” and the elitist people around them or they will surely lose this game.
Enough of these elitists who only think of themselves!

Sinunod lang naman ni Noynoy ang mandate ng mga tao..kung hindi siya suportahan ng mga ito ay wala namang mawawala sa kanya…si Sen Trillanes at si Gen. Lim ay nagakala na suportahan sila ng mga naghahangad ng pagbabago…nangyari ba? Money talks!..pasalamat pa siya kung hindi siya manalo..sasakit pa ang kanyang ulo sa mga problema na iiwan ni putot..ipagdasal na lang natin “let God’s will be done!” at tanggapin ang kanyang kagustuhan..
kung hindi si Noynoy at Mar ang manalo sa halalan na ito-ay kay Erap at Manzano na ako…mayroon tayong Showtime..
“Sinunod lang naman ni Noynoy ang mandate ng mga tao..” = Rose
What mandate?
If you are talking of those people encouraging him run as “mandate”, then the other candidates will also claim that the people who encourage them to run are also their mandate.
Coy:
Elections are held to:
1. project the notion that you have a voice and share the power to chart the nation’s future, aka democracy;
2. periodically pacify growing dissent with renewed promises of a better tomorrow.
When elections are over, we’re back to the same old reality.
_______________
IF we can rid ourselves of politics or religion (both are the same), that’s the time when we can be truly civilized.
I’ve been studying about the root cause of all these. What i’ve found are the ff:
1. Vatican is responsible for all the ills of our society. It is in fact, the most evil of all.
It’s responsible for the installation of dictators and the removal of good ones. All genocides (Germany, Ireland, Vietnam, etc.) and depopulation mechanisms (SARS, AIDS, FLU, etc.) are all done for the glory of Rome.
Remove the Vatican from the equation, and you will see Heaven. Tall order, of course, because…
2. The people are so dumb, they just don’t love what it is doing, they even worship it.
There’s none of these politicians that’s brave enough to stand up against the Vatican. None.
But if you want to be entertained, go ahead and vote. But don’t expect any change coming, ’cause you’ll be extremely frustrated.
Hope i answered your question.
Marami sa atin ang gusto lang ang namumuno ay gumawa ng tama na magtataguyod ng tunay na pagbabago sa ating bansa. Tunay na pagbabago ang hiling nila at madalas nababangit kung mananalo si Noynoy ay pwedeng mangyari ito.
Noynoy don’t need complicated strategies to redirect the course of his campaign for real CHANGE nor get intimidated by his adversaries with billions for TV and radio ads, and paid hack and propagandist twisting facts about the real condition of our country, himself and his family’s legacy.
Being true to his words to fight for “Good Governance”, all he needs to do is send the word and call on the people to rally with him hand in hand for real change, tunay na LABAN sa abusadong systema at pamunuan, and many will come!
11 February 2010
A lot of good comments.
But the problem is/are the handlers of both Noynoy and Mar, I believe in them (Noynoy-Mar), there’s no problem about that. But those so called handlers belonging to the so called civil society? geeeezzzz….. they are the ones who remove a duly elected president, then they are also the one who wanted to removed their installed president and threathen to the vice president for not supporting hteir call for the removal of gloria. And now projecting themeselves as conscience of the people???
By the way Rose, it is wrong to assume that Noynoy has a mandate from the people as president (not yet). You mentioned Trillanes, he was, as a matter of fact was mandated by the people to serve in the senate. with gen lim, it is still too early to say, because like trillanes, he is also detained.
Mike is correct to say that all candidates are mandated by those people who want them to run.
Finally, my point here is/are the hypocrites behind the Noynoy-Mar tandem.
You also mentioned, if that is God’s will, let it be done, yes you are correct, but not to the point of abusing their authority like this administration, the very same group who installed her as (illegal) president are the same ones who called for her to resign.
Geeezzzz… the height of hypocrisy!!!!!!
Let’s give the government back to the people not only to the elitist.
prans
I truly agree with you Sumpit.
However, whether we like it or not we need to elect these people to control our lives for better or worst. Without them we are like a lost platoon wandering in the jungle with no leader to command.Laws and rules will not be enforced,we become uncivilized in a chaotic society, only the strong survive.We might go back in the Stone Age of Barok and Gundina and that’s scary.
i like the 2 latest political ads of Noynoy, the anti-graft and corruption message is clear… i think it will work!
i think nagsisisi ngayon si Villar… hindi nya mapipigilan ang pagalingasaw ng masangsang na bagahe na dala-dala nya… ang salot ni Gloria… yan ang unti-unting magpapabagsak sa kaniya…
Yan ang isa sa dapat gawin ng LP, kung pano epektibong bubuksan ang bulok na bagahe sa likod ni Villar…
Dati Idol ko iyang si Manny Villar dahil sa kanyang SIPAG at TIYAGA. Pero ng naging Senador TINAMAD na yata kay C-5 at TAGA ang ginawa.
Ang problema ang mga nakapaligid kay Noynoy. Ngayon pa lamang ang balita ay nag-aaway away na sila sa Liberal Party dahil pinaghahatian na nila ang mga posisyon sa gobyerno. Hindi pa man panalo ay naghahati na. Hindi ba ito ay tanda ng kasakiman? Diba’t dapat din tignan ang mga taong nasa likuran?

RE: But who’s your choice Sumpit?
Any idea?
Well, Igan Cocoy…kaya nga tayo kandakuba sa 10-years ng rehime e ng dahil sa mga KSP/SSP nating mga bystanders na kababayang Pinoy eh.
Di ba sila ang katulong ni Gloria upang agawin ang Malacanang…SEE, ano ang nangyari ngayon at yan dapat sagutin ng buong linaw ng Kgg. nating SumpPit or else saan tayo patutongo ngayon kundi matututong gumalang sa karapatan ng bawat isa.
Demokraysa…di ba Igan! But itong Demonkrasya na dulot ng EDSA 2 con Hello Garci e siyang salot at peste sa ating paghihirap ngayon at kaguluhan.
Puro sila yabang…ONLY citizen Erap ang bumawi ng 46MILF camps sa mga rebelde na ilang dekada nang sakit ng ulo. Ngayon, ang dami nilang kwento e puro sila bahag ang buntot…at pinaglalaruan lang ang sambayanang Pinoy sa kanilang kinakalyong mga palad sa paglilingkod-bulsa.
Puro pahirap at kayabangan…ipinagyayabang ang kanilang bilyones e WALA tayong PAKI diyan…ang kailangan natin e ang tunay lingkod-bayan na maka-Masa at di maka-elitista na naghaharing-uri sa ating lipunan na puro pahirap.
Pwese bang tungkol naman kay Erap ang gawing thread? Kakasawa na si Noynoy. Wala namang bagong puna. Yellow fever wannabe(ewww!). Nakukulili na tenga ko. . .Sana si Erap naman pag-usapan. Sikat din naman si Pareng Erap mo Tedanz di ba? Bakit ayaw siyang pag usapan dito? lol
baka naman nagsawa nagsawa na sa c-5 at taga itong si money at bumalik na uli sa sipat at tiaga. di man natakot si erap sa milf ay natakot naman siya kay gma kaya nagmano na rin siya para makalaya.kita naman natin ang nangyari dito kay lacson na hanggang sa huli ay hindi humahalik ng kamay ng mga arroyo hanggang sa mag alsa balutan.
sorry, nadoble pala ang nagsawa.
Villar has everything it takes to win, vast resources, well entrenched connections, the support of Gloria, he has the best campaign strategists money can buy, the best celebrity endorsers, the primetine slots, the best researchers, writers, and we have an aging ex president who swallowed his pride accepted a bribe (pardon) as he is in the habit of doing, allowed himself to be used as a pawn to split the opposition votes, and allowed himself to be made a pitiful laughing stock in public forums (lost his pride altogether).
There are indications that Erap has already struck a deal with Villar, they already arrived at the right numbers (Php), what is interesting will be the timing…
Agree, henry….si Erap naman ang gawing thread.
Norpil, tagal mong nawala. Ganyan din ang obserbasyon ko sa previous thread, ayaw makipaglaro ni Ping kay Pidal kaya umiskierda.
thanks chi at natatandaan mo pa rin pala ako. nauwi kasi ako ng pinas at dumalaw sa mga kamag anak, pero tuloy din ang basa ko ng ellenville na para bang “truth mirror”.
That Erap should allow himself to be used by the administration is beyond me. He swallowed his pride by accepting a pardon (admitting guilt), allowed himself to be used to splinter the opposition (fomenting class war poor masa vs rich elite bullshit), lately he’s been happy to made a spectacle, a laughing stock in public forums (I felt pity mostly when I saw his face in agony), is he really that desperate for money that he embraced Villar’s money enough to strike a deal with him? Its not funny anymore, the Erap jokes have lost their luster, its pitiful…so pitiful…
1. Vatican is responsible for all the ills of our society. It is in fact, the most evil of all….SumpPit
Tama ka SumpPit, comment #12.
Noong nagkaroon ng Protestant Reformation ay umunlad ang mga bansang Protestante katulad ng Germany at iba pa pero ang mga bansang Katoliko Romano ay mahihirap. Gusto ng mga Katoliko Romano na magulo at mahirap ang bansa para ma kontrol nila ang bansa. Kahit noong panahon ni Rizal ay gusto ng mga pari na mangmang at slave ang mga Pilipino para ma kontrol nila ang bansa.
Bakit ba hindi nailalagay sa mainstream media ang mga katotohanan na binanggit mo? Sino ba ang may ari ng Time, Newsweek, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, BBC, at iba pang major worldwide media? Walang iba kundi ang House of Rothschild na miyembro ng Freemason na kontrolado ng Jesuit General. Rothschild was used by Vatican to fund the World War I and II, Bolshevik revolution, civil wars in Europe, etc…..
Ano ba ang sabi ng mga top executives ng media tungkol sa NEWS:
Former NBC news president Rubin Frank, who should know about these things said: “News is what someone wants to suppress. Everything else is advertising.” Senior vice president and Washington bureau chief for CNN, Frank Sesno confirms the arrogance of these self-appointed arbiters of the Truth “We tell the people what they need to know, not what they want to know.” Richard Salent, the former President CBS News was also part of this agenda tells us unabashedly that: “Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have.”
Alfred Harmsworth, later Lord Northcliffe, was the British newspaper tycoon who invented modern tabloid journalism. In 1896 he launched the Daily Mail, which was the first British mass daily aimed at the new mass literate readership appearing in Britain….Northcliffe obviously knew a thing or two about journalism and the “group mind.” A knowledge summed up by this: “News is what someone, somewhere is trying to suppress, the rest is just advertising.”
norpil, senior kita sa eskwelahang ito, how can I ever forget you. :). Nakabisita ka na sa Pinas, ganun pa rin ang laban dito sa Ellenville. Nadagdagan nga lang si Arroyo…naging Villarroyo.
There’s none of these politicians that’s brave enough to stand up against the Vatican. None….SumpPit
xxxxx
Only Erap and Marcos stood up against Vatican. It cost them their presidency. Marcos became a nationalist president on the later part of his presidency. Erap is a nationalist president ever since he became mayor of San Juan.
Erap, I think learned his lesson already on how not to fall on coup d’etat again which was instigated and approved by Pope Paul II.
xman, are you sure the coup against Erap has PPII’s blessing? Baka you mean Pope Sin, este… Cardinal sin pala. 😛
As far as I know, according sa mga tsismoso sa tabi-tabi, Sin was sent a letter from the Vatican advising him to refrain from engaging or involving himself in politics during Erap’s time. Di daw sinunod ni Sin. 🙁
Correction: It may not be instigated by the Pope but it was approved by him, the coup d’etat against nationalist President Estrada.
Mike, tingnan mo noong nag swear in na pagka presidente si pandak. Nasa harapan mismo ng entablado yong papal nuncio ng Vatican, halos katabi ni pandak. Ano ang ibig sabihin non?
At saka ang teknik ng Vatican ay sasabihin noon sa media ay ayaw nila na ma coup d’etat ang presidente ng Pinas o ano mang bansa pero sa likod ay yon ang gusto nilang mangyari. Expert double talker ang mga yan.
pran: I did not say Noynoy was mandated by the people to be president…you are absolute right..wala pa ang election..at dito natin malaman kung totoo ang mga taong ito..it remains to be seen…for all we know putot may have a hand in this too..kasi alam na walang alam si Noynoy..if I am not mistaken Gloria claimed that God mandated her..maybe at that time she was indeed…but somewhere along the way she met her taning pag-ibig..at inalok sa kanya na malaki ang opportunity niyang yumaman..who knows..God gives us the freedom to choose that his will..kung hindi tayo sumunod..that is our choice..it is not God’s will na mangdaya ka, magnakaw ka, maging corrupt ka..magsinugaling ka..hindi yon ang sampung utos niya..somewhere along the way nag iba ang pagkaintindi ni putot! nasa mga botante na particularly the youth ang kinabukasan ng Filipinas..Money or a bright future?
“..if I am not mistaken Gloria claimed that God mandated her..” – rose
Gloria thought it was God who’s talking to her, and telling her she is the “chosen” one. Actually, lashing sha nuon dahil inubos niya yung isang boteng cognac, at ang bumubulong sa kanya nuon para agawin ang gobyerno kay Erap at mandaya sa 2004 ay si FG. Not God but The (Mafia) Godfather. :p
Feb. 12–Birthday ni Honest Abe! sa Feb. 22 naman ang birthday ni George Washington (Who cut the cherry tree) also known for his honesty.. kaya holiday sa US..sa atin naman sa April dalawang presidents (Erap, past) (Gloria future past) ang may birthday..can we honestly say they are honest?…Ano sa inyo?
Mike, ito ang isa sa maraming halimbawa kung bakit sinabi ko na expert double talker o double crosser ang Vatican.
Of crimes against humanity (1955) That Pope Pius XII and Jesuit Superior General Jean-Baptiste Janssens did financial support and lobby for the election of staunch Catholic President Ngo Dinh Diem as President of South Vietnam in 1955. That upon being elected, the Catholic Church promoted Diem as a Catholic dictator in persecuting Buddhism and all non-catholic interests. That in 1958, the Catholic Church did then arrange an agreement
With Ho Chi Minh(of North Vietnam) that the Catholic Church would not oppose him if he invaded the South and that all money earnt from the drug trade would be split more equitably on the condition of protecting French Catholic families and their land holdings managing the opium farms of the Jesuits. That these deliberate actions did ferment the conditions Vietnam War. Furthermore, upon the commencement of guerilla actions against the South, the Catholic Church through the CIA did convince the American government to support the Catholic South. That upon the election of John F. Kennedy as President, Cardinal Spellman did convince him to escalate the military support of the United States. That as a result of these deliberate actions of the Catholic Church, over 2,000,000 were killed, including over 50,000 US casualties.
http://one-evil.org/people/people_20c_Janssens.htm
rose, ang masasabi ko lang sa birthday ni Erap at ni Gloria na parehong tumapat sa April ay…. HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!!! :b
Come to think of it..sino ba sa ating naging presidente ang isang example sa mga kabataan na dapat nilang tularan mayroon ba?
Mike: I am not familiar about the life story of Erap..though I have read a bit about his love story ..Ellen’s book (Warm Bodies, Hot Money) and the Eraption jokes.. let us hear about Erap naman…
Ito ang link para maintindihan ninyo kung sino si Rothschild o House of Rothschild. Ano ang connection ng Rothschild sa Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, Schiff, etc….Paano nagkaroon ng State of Israel? Ano ang deal ng Vatican at Rothschild tungkols sa Israel? At marami pang iba na matututunan nating lahat.

henry90,
ewww! Yellow Fever wannabe!!!
Bakit binalik kay Erap, eh Noynoy itong article? Pareho lang kayo ni Perl na kapag binabatikos kandidato niyo wala na kayong hilig ituro kundi si Erap.
Nalimutan niyo na ba ang Kamag-anak Inc., Mendiola Massacre, brownouts, and the latest, the Luisita fiasco?
Lahat ng naging Presidente, mayroong controversy. Bakit si Tabako na napakaraming kinorakot probably more or less like Gloria di niyo matira? Takot kayo kay Talakitok?
Pano magkakaroon ng pagtingin sa mahirap ang kadidato ninyo kung siya ay nanggaling sa elitistang pamilya na ayaw ipamahagi ang lupain sa mahihirap na magsasaka na kanilang inalipin ng ilang taon?
It’s the “yabang” of the yellow crowd personified by Henry90 and MB that turns off people. That’s the reason for the declining numbers of Noynoy.
Former top Jesuit of Vatican, Alberto Rivera, together with Chick publications produced a summary through comics on how the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church was created. How Islam was invented by Catholic Church.
http://www.chick.com/reading/comics/0117/0117_allinone.asp
The Godfathers
Part III of Alberto Rivera’s testimony. Here’s how the Roman Catholic Institution, as the “Mother of Abominations” (Rev. 17), caused many wars. This is the book the Catholic press is afraid to mention.
http://www.chick.com/reading/comics/0114/0114_allinone.asp
Noynoy’s character is so weak; he is no decision-maker, he doesn’t know when to get tough, firm and strong that he can’t even decide what to do with his opportunist relatives who are all speaking on both sides of their mouths as pro-Gloria and pro-Noynoy.
Noynoy has no answer when Hacienda Luisita was described as the Palestine in the Philippines where for so many years the (Palestinians) poor farm workers were denied (their own independent state) the agreed ownership, abused and even massacred.
Noynoy is afraid to face the issues against him, the gratis construction of SCTEX for the exclusive use his family, his accomplishments as congressman and senator.
He’s so naïve or even stupid if he believes that by saying that he is “honest”,” hindi siya magnanakaw”, “hindi siya corrupt”, people will just take his words as gospel truth and believe him. Maybe some like his blind supporters but people are not that naïve and stupid as he and his elitist and snobbish handlers presumed. They only show their lack of respect for people especially the poor. All politicians say anything to win votes and he is no exception. The thing that matters is show proofs of what you claimed to be. And so far in any terms he failed.
It’s not surprising that his numbers are going down. All he has shown so far are the remnants of Gloria’s boys and girls, pictures of his parents, his rapping and the reminiscent of people power, which has nothing to do with governing 90 million people.

Mas mayabang siguro kayo kaya mas bulusok numero ni idol nyo. . .di naniniwala sa survey kuno pero sumasang-ayon sa mga survey na bumababa rating ni Aquino. . . at ano ang pinagbasehan? E di ang survey din. . .lokohin nyo yung Cafgu. . .lol
bakit ba natin pag initan si Noynoy..hindi naman siya mananalo! si Money Bill ang mananalo, hindi ba? kaya siya ang dapat manmanan…alam ng marami kung sino si Erap. si Gibo ok sana kaya lang ang pabango niya amoy gloria…
mabantot! sayang siya!

Ayos lang yan. Free for all naman dito eh. .

Just sharing Millennium Development Goals-Philippines
these are goals currently on the making and must be achieved by the new administration regardless of who will sit as president. Noynoy’s anticorruption policy is not new. There are 8 goals with a total of 18 key areas that we must demand from our leader to govern and deliver result.
xman: matindi talaga ang galit mo sa vatican at sa mga Jesuits..pero ingat ka lang…ang balae ni gloria ay isang Jesuit! Fr. Bernas’ nephew is married to Gloria’s only daughter..baka magalit sa iyo si gloria! hayaan na ang natin kay Benedicto ang vatican..total far far away naman..
henry,
hindi sila pwdeng hindi maniwala sa survey, Same survey company din ngayon ang nagsasabing #1 si Unggoy Estrada at si Bong Gorilla (dahil nga dito gusto ko din pilitin sarili ko na hwag maniwala eh, hehe)…
at isa pa, higit sa lahat… si Erap mismo naniniwala eh… sabi pa nga nya… dati daw si Noli #1 sa survey, bakit bumagsak? Dahil simula na ng campaign, babagsak din daw ang rating nung mga nasa taas at tataas yung rating nya. Yan ang sagot ni Erap sa interview ni Kapuso Mike Enriquez sa interview sa kanya sa bente-kwatro Oras! (ehem, excuse me po!)
He’s so naïve or even stupid if he believes that by saying that he is “honest”,” hindi siya magnanakaw”, “hindi siya corrupt”, people will just take his words as gospel truth and believe him.

Sino kaya ang tunay na walang respeto sa tao? kesa naman sa mga proven na dilehensyador at lingkod bulsa na inimumungkahi ninyo, si Bigote ba na nagmano kay goyang o si Money C5 taga ba na pambato ni goyang? Kailangan ba gumastos ng bilyon-bilyon para lang makumbinsi ang bayan? Kailangan ba tumawag sa mga bayarang propagandist para manira at sila ay paniwalaan? Di bale nalang.
Manalo o matalo dito na ko kay Noynoy kahit ano pa sabihin ninyo!
Noynoy’s outright declaration that “he will not steal” is historical. Its the best move any leader can make, or anyone for that matter. whats wrong with that? only those who cannot honestly say it are afraid of it, or say something negative about it…
Come to think of it, why not a challenge? Why don’t all the presidentiables say the same words in front of the people, on TV, while strapped to a lie detector test? Why not?
RE: Manalo o matalo dito na ko kay Noynoy kahit ano pa sabihin ninyo!
Demokrasya Ka Olan…enjoy your company to Yellow Fever, mahirap naman kung mag-EDSA 4 kami upang agawin ka namin kay Noynoy.
Di ba ito ang punto ng tagisan-pingkian ng kukote nating lahat…nagsimula lang ito sa EDSA DOS con Hello Garci, alam mo…kung mayroong paggalang at respeto ang evil society (a.k.a. Santita Cory, Kardinal Makasalanan, Tabako, mapyosi Generals, civil socialites, leftist/rightist, tradpols/trapo and KSP/SSP bystanders) di tayo aabot sa isang damakmak na sakit ng ulo.
Well, konting research Igan…kasi nga, never nating pairalin ang pusong-mamon coz’di natin mauunawaan ang katotohanan about Yellow Fever legacy.
Isa rin siyang traydor at sinungaling…na dumusta sa ating Constitution at dumusta sa 11 milyong registered Pinoy voters + their families?
Mahirap bang intindihin ito…or kailangan natin ng economist like Gloria upang maresolba ang paghihirap sa buhay ng Pinoy at matigil ang extra-judicial killings at warrantless arrest na ginawa nila sa 46 ba yong medical workers na inaresto sa Rizal kamakailan.
Noynoy on ” he will not steal” and ” he will distribute HL in 2014″
Both promises can be interpreted as stealing. LYING ADVERTISEMENTS breaks 8th commandment. A person becomes a thief when a promise of paying dividends to the farmers is returning zero. It does not excuse him regardless of his minority ownership. A man who promise to transfer his property to the farmers just before he becomes president is a thief in the sight of God.
distribute HL? why not distribute now or yesterday? does he need to be president first before he can do it, or at least, initiate it?
How do you guys define stealing?
RE: Noynoy’s outright declaration that “he will not steal” is historical. Its the best move any leader can make, or anyone for that matter. whats wrong with that?
NOTHING wrong Igan Jaggernaut, ang punto ng tagisan ng kukote ngayon e ang pagtatraydor at pagiging sinungaling ng Pinoy?
In short, crabs mentality…remember, ang 1998 Presidential election ang pinakatahimik na halalan sa Philippine history at landslide na ipinalo ng Ama ng Masang Pilipino ang pagkapangulo.
Iginalang ba ito ng mga elitista sa pangunguna ni Santita Cory…at ngayon e itong si Noynoy e ipinagyayabang ang nagawa ng kanyang mga magulang na ANO, “Demonkrasya”?
Kung magpapakatalino ang Pinoy…at maalam sa aritmitik, ang 20-years ni Apo Macoy against sa 6-years nina Santita Cory at Tabako + 10-years ni NoGloria = ANO ng buhay ng Pinoy ngayon?
Paki isplika Igan…alam mo halos lahat ng foreigners e nakahalobilo ko na at dito ako namulat sa buhay at natutong mag-isip kung ano ba ang katotohanan ng buhay.
Mapalad ang Pinoy except, kung magpapakatino lamang ang mga lingkod-bulsa at mga elitista.
Ang laki ng ating pag-asa sa buhay…imagine, marami ang humahanga sa ating Pinoy even the American, European, Middle Eastian and other nationalities…ang kaso nababahiran ng negative impression ang Pinoy dahil sa mga peste nating pulitiko.
RE: How do you guys define stealing?
Well, nice question Igan Asiandelight…in gloria’s dictionary, e ang explanation nito ay EDSA DOS coup d’etat, Hello Garci, ZTE and many more scams etc. etc. e suportado ka ng elitista, Obessepo, Generals problem, elitist/rightist, tradpols/trapo and ksp/ssp bystanders.
But, like citizen Erap, Makati PEN, Oakwood, at ipa ba e NO BAIL na kaso at diretso sa rehas na bakal, except ni Pingpong Lacson hayon sa takot di mo na makita ang anino at nagtatago na.
balweg – February 12, 2010 12:12 pm
Maraming nag traydor sa tunay na mithiin ng 1986 revolution. Laking hirap ng mga tao para makamit ito nuon..Yellow army ang tawag ninyo sa kanila walang ipinagkaiba sa 11 milyon bumoto kay Erap!
Yan ang hirap sayo igan balweg, di mo matanggap ang pagkakaiba ng mga personalidad na nanindigan at nagtaguyod ng tunay na mithiin ng 1986 revolution sa mga mapag panggap na uri na nakisakay at bagkus ang pagsabit sa pangalan Cory na itinutulad sa mga masamang uri. Ilang beses si Cory mismo ay nanindigan para sa maayos na pangangasiwa ng pamahalaan sa mga mali sa pamunuan ni pandak na hindi naman pinakingan at bagkus ay ipinahiya at pinahirapan.
Naalala mo ba nung mga huling sandali mga pakitang gilas ni bigote sa panunuyo para sa basbas ni Cory na hinihiling nito na ibinigay naman ng walang pagdaramot bago bawian at kunin ng maykapal na ngayon ay walang habas ninyung minamaliit matapos makisakay sa yellow fever.
Walang ibang dapat sisihin sa EDSA 2 kundi si Bigote mismo. Di magkakaroon ng bansag na I, Me, and My Self or I want to be King again kung totoong para sa bayan ang layunin nito nuon habang ang inaatupag ay dilehensya sa jueteng na ikinagalit at pinagsamantalahan ng iba. Sina tabako at De Ventong ang nagtaguyod kay pandak na gumawa ng sampung taon na paghirap ng bayan, hindi si Cory, na dahilan na rin ng tuluyang pagkakakulong kay bigote sa sariling resthouse nito. Bakit di sila sisihin at kantiin ninyo? Takot kayo kay tabako at pandak! Tapos binisita pa si pandak wow! Transaction nga naman!
Demokrasya Ka Olan…enjoy your company to Yellow Fever, mahirap naman kung mag-EDSA 4 kami upang agawin ka namin kay Noynoy – Balweg
Di na kailangan igan balweg masarap ang tulog ko kahit alam kong hinahati ninyo boto ng oposisyon pabor kay C5 taga!
Kung magpapakatalino ang Pinoy…at maalam sa aritmitik, ang 20-years ni Apo Macoy against sa 6-years nina Santita Cory at Tabako + 10-years ni NoGloria = ANO ng buhay ng Pinoy ngayon? – balweg
Masyado mo naman minamaliit mga pinoy. Kung walang yellow army at santita cory, na totoong naman mga ordinaryong tao lamang, malamang diktadurang rehimen pa rin nakalukluk sa pamunuan ngayon. At kung di mapipigilan paninira sa kapwa oposisyon malamang madadagdagan pa 6 na taon sa pamunuan ni C5 taga at speaker pandak matapos ang 10 taon ng mga ito. ANO na nga kaya buhay ng mga Pinoy pagnagkatotoo ito?
naalaala mo kaya ang kanta ni Imelda? “Proud to be a Pilipino”? sa TFC lagi kong naririnig ang kantang “Pinoy Ako, ang galing galing ko” is this not true? Totoo naman ah, hindi ba?.. ang kanta ko? Pinay ako at hindi lang magaling at mabait, maganda pa! putot nga lang! ako ito, hindi si gloriang putot..
rose, natuloy ba yung 2 feet snow? Ingat ka baka hindi ka na makita pag bumuhos ng yelo. Hihihi.
Okey lang magbangayan ang mga Erap fans at Noynoy followers dito sa blog ni Ellen. Ang mahalaga, HINDI MAKAPASOK DITO ang mga pakawala ni Villar. O ni Gibo.
Tuloy ang debate!
famoso ang mga Pinoy sa pagiging maigsi ang memorya (short memory), pero kilala ito sa pagiging sensitibo kapag siya’y tahasang niloloko (brazen lied upon).
at dito may problema si Noynoy.
halimbawa, nasapol sa komento ni florry (# 47), ang dahan-dahang realisasyon ng taong-bayan na imbis ibigay at ipakita ng kandidato (Noynoy) na marunong itong sumagot sa batikos at puna, walang naririnig mula sa kanyang kampo kundi ang walang galang sagot na “…wala bang bagong isyu?”.
may problema din sa pagsusuri ang kampanya ni Noynoy: ang basehan ng melodiyang “am no thief”. nahihirapan makakuha ng simpatiya ang ganitong linya sa matagalang kampanya kapag nakikita ng mga botante na mga taong nakapaligid sa kandidato ang pawang mga isa’t- kalahating tulisanes.
at maraming bilang ng kamag-anak ay hindi lamang malapit sa kusina ni Gloria, isang kakila-kilabot na magnanakaw, bagkus kaalinsabay sa pagluluto ng mga putaheng nagdudulot ng kahirapan sa ordinaryong mamamayan–sa napakahabang panahon.
sa panghuli, ang worldview ng kampanyang Noynoy na ang kahirapan ng bansa at ng mamamayan ay dulot lamang ng graft and corruption, ay masyadong mababaw at taliwas sa mga pangyayari.
halimbawa, ang unang exempted habang kinukumpuni ang batas na magbibigay ng lupa sa mismong taga-bungkal nito (land to the tiller concept) ay ang Hacienda Luisita.
na siyang nagbigay hudyat na ang politika-ekonomiya kalakaran sa kanayunan ay hindi magbabago. ito ba ay graft and corruption, o isang problema ng kasalukuyang sistemang poli-ekonomiya?
bagama’t ang pinakamalapit na katunggali, si Villar, ay hindi nangakong baguhin ang sistema, positibo ang tema nito, at siyang inaasam-asam at pangarap ng mayorya– ang maging isang rags to riches na ehemplo.
sa pagsusuma, ang problema ng kampanya ni Noynoy ay nag-uugat sa pagkukunwari ng kanyang mga handlers at kagila-gilalas na kawalan ng respeto sa kanilang estimasyon sa kakayahang magsuri ng taong-bayan.
Panahon na ba upang bumaba si Mar sa pedicab ni Noynoy at sabihing, “Itabi mo, Noy. Ako na.”?
sana nga kung posible lang magpalit na lang sila ng posisyon.
Personally I don’t subscribe to this “take land from the rich and give it to the poor” bit. It sounds more “commie” to me than anything else, these farmers won’t even know how to manage these farms properly if they had them and will just be a waste of good land…why are so hung up on being beggars? or worst, behaving as if the world owes us a living? Why not manage the hacienda properly, give due compensation to these farmers, access to education, healthcare, etc. Is this piece of land even productive?
If noynoy’s numbers went down (survey lang yun), then so be it, those who faltered (and changed their minds) were never truly for him anyway, there’s a long way to go before May.
Villar, even with his billions only managed to catch up with Noynoy? billions?
The Filipinos must once and for all be just that – Filipinos, one nation, one people, one direction, united in a common aspiration, and not split in A, B, C, D, E to Z. Why are there people still so caught up in fomenting class war, conflict between rich and poor, masa and elista, wake up people we’re being “divided and conquered” here and we embrace it with self pity and burning hatred/envy/despise in our hearts for who? – fellow Filipinos?
…there will always be rich people and poor people for as long as our intensities of motivation vary, there will always be greater and lesser persons than ourselves, why allow ourselves to be emotionally-led-by-the-noses (like cattle) by people with dark motives, I will never understand…why we listen to those who pretend to be masa, who talk endlessly of “pagpag” when they themselves haven’t even touched the stuff let alone eat it?
Why be turned off by so called “elitista?” they speak the same language, eat rice, drink water, bleed red blood, sleep, laugh, etc…why some people would hate it when they see others doing better off when they have the option to feel otherwise? and some are encouraging this…enough already!
Tongue: kaya nga ako sulat ng sulat dito..hindi ako makalis ng bahay..since I broke my arm last August and was in a cast takot ako madulas..sa bahay nga lang nadulas na..salamat na lang hindi gaano ka taas ang snow dito sa JC pero doon kay kumpare mong barack grabe..kasi pag 4 ft na ang snow ulo ko na lang ang makikita pag lumakad ako sa snow..putot din ako gaya ni gloria..ok lang ang snow it is when it melts and we have this frezzing temp..and it turns icy..sayang hindi ako natuto mag ice skate…
Jug: I do agree with you..instead of distributing the land hindi ba magagawa “kibutz” style like in Israel?..everyone in the hacienda working together for a community working together for the good of all..lahat ng kita ay sa isang fund…and all provided with everything..hanga ako kasi sa nakita ko sa Israel…seguro naman hindi maghihirap ang familia Aquino kung ibahagi nila ang kanilang shares..
come to think of it was it not Ninoy who talked Luis Taruc into surrendering? during Manuel Roxas time? nakakabasa na ako noon at kahit sa gabi na tumarating ang Manila Chronicle sa Antique current events pa din sa akin..
Jug: sorry for asking you the questions re above post..hindi ka pa ipinanganak noon, I am sure..pati nga seguro ang mga parents mo…but are there books on Luis Taruc, on the history of Taruc..pero kung mayroon man I am pretty sure nabasa mo..idol ko kasi noon si Ninoy..hamag mo at the age of 17 nagpunta na siya sa Korea as a newspaper correspondent..alam ko din ang historia ng Lolo ni Mar Roxas..idol ko din yon…at kamukha siya ni Mar pero mas mataas si Mar..
TonGuE-tWisTeD – February 12, 2010 10:08 pm
Ang mahalaga, HINDI MAKAPASOK DITO ang mga pakawala ni Villar. O ni Gibo.
—————————————————–
yan talga problema, baka may nagpapanggap lang na maka-erap o noynoy pero taga C5-villarroyo pala para magbangayan ang Erap-Noynoy supporters at matakpan ang Villarroyo issues!
nakita ko ang Lolo ni Mar ng personal..kasi ang kapatid ng Lola ko ay Press Secretary ng Lolo niya..and though sa Antique kami nakatira lagi akong sinasama ng tatay ko pagpumunta niya sa Manila..at nakapunta ang Lolo niya sa Antique..malapit lang kasi sa Capiz, and Aklan was still part of Capiz..sa dalang ng mga babasahin noon..ang time ko ay magbasa ng Manila Times, Manila Chronicle, Manila Bulletin, Evening News at Free Press..pag punta ko sa Manila added to my reding materials are Kislap and Liwayway. para matuto ng Tagalog.
oorr: reading materials at hindi reding (Visaya nga si ako)
Mabuti na lang at hindi kami lumalangoy sa basura tulad ni Villar. Lumalangoy lang kami sa snow, at siyempre sobra ang lamig.
florry: sinabi mo! nasa Filinas ako noong nag Ondoy..mabuti lang hindi ako umalis noong araw na yon otherwise I would not have known how to go home..hindi ako marunong ng LRT..hamak mo ang sister in law naglakad neck high ang tubig from Cubao to Proj.4 marunong akong lumangoy ng kaunti- langoy aso..but just to think of how filthy the waters were..mama mia!
Issues against Noynoy are not only HL or mga kamaganak and don’t wish for more baka lalong bumaba ang rating niya.
What we are looking for and most important are leadership ability and administrative skills. He has not proven anything yet in his years in congress and senate. He doesn’t even know his ground and where he stands.
The presidency is not a joking matter and it’s not a place for on-the-job training. Its importance is paramount for the future and if we have to put somebody up there, he must do the job and not to learn. The future can be best secured with the reins in the most capable hands, strong decisive leadership and proven experience. With the country drowning with problems we can not afford to engage on a hit or miss approach. The approach should be a result-oriented solution and this could only be done by the strong and never by a weakling mama’s boy.
It’s not being mean and to prove it, if ANYONE among Noynoy’s supporters here in this blog or anywhere else can cite ANY outstanding achievement that shines a light for the Filipinos in his entire LIFETIME, I will praise him to high heavens and humbly submit my support for his candidacy.
just a thought…by a stretch of imagination or sa isang milagro manalo si Noynoy, I don’t think he will run for another term..just like his mother transition lang siya..total ang sabi ng karamihan wala siyang alam on how to run the country..inahanda na niya si Mar..at kung tatakbo si Mar then for President and wins, he still will have another six years to continue..and by that time ok na seguro ang bayan natin.. who knows..ito ang tunay na milagro o himala para sa bukas ng Pilipinas may bukas pa ang bayan ko…makatulog na ako ng mahimbing! kasi kung si putot pa..mumultohin ko siya..that is no threat but a promise!
totoo ba na si Money Bill supported for having rice lands in Iloilo for subdivisions..construction of homes? kaya pala may rice shortage..wala ng matatamnan ng palay ang puro na lang bahay..seguro ang gusto niya magtanim ng lang sa paso..mas malaki ang tubo sa construction..matalinong business man talaga..kaya sa wari ko pagnanalo siya malaki ang tutubuin niya at tama hindi na siya magnanakaw..
Florry:
Nice dare. Now tell me any scandal, not the manufactured sort that just came out when he declared his intention to run, that can be directly attributed to him personally, wag yung mga trying hard na ikinakabit sa kanya ng NP. . .sa kanya mismo ha at siya ang pasimuno. . then compare that with Erap, Villaroyo and Gibo. Thanks.
Henry,
My subject is about Noynoy, so don’t try to divert to any topic, that’s not my concern for the moment. My challenge, cite any significant or outstanding performance of Noynoy to convince me that he is the right man. Hindi yong mga scandal ng mga kung sinu-sinong Herodes. Yon lang naman ang akin.
cite any significant or outstanding performance of Noynoy to convince me that he is the right man
Henry, Florry,
Allow me to butt in… he didn’t grandstand nor made a fool himself in the Senate. That’s one outstading performance in my book.
I’d rather vote for someone who didn’t insert billions of pesos in the budget to pay for his personal business project — one who is diametrically opposed to Villar. I think in a sense, that’s an outstanding performance. The senate in Pinas is after all a joke, joke, joke.
What we are looking for and most important are leadership ability and administrative skills. – florry
——————————————————-
Agree if we are in a “normal” condition. Unfortunately, we’re not! Gloria has those skill. But have those skills been effectively used for the good of our country? The answer is a big NO, of course! Why? coz she lost or don’t have the most important “skill”, the good character.
How can you become a good leader if you don;t have a good character?
Pano mo mapapasunod ang mga nasasakupan mo na huwag magnakaw kung ang namumuno mismo nagnanakaw?
Pano nyo ba natin tinuturuan ng magandang asal ang mga ating mga anak? sa pangaral lang ba? Kailngan nating maging good example or good model hindi ba?
Good Character! That is a very basic skill! Let’s go to basic!
Now look at these presidentiable: Erap, Villar, Gibo. Do they have the basic skill?
Ganito lang naman kasimple yan mga igan:
“Hindi ako magnanakaw – Noynoy”
My challenge, cite any significant or outstanding performance of Noynoy to convince me that he is the right man. – florry
———————————–
And who is the right man for you?
Florry:
Ah, don’t get the drift? The fact that u can’t cite any particualr scandal that is personally linked to Aquino is the biggest achievement of all! You see, this is precisely the problem when we put the frontrunners under the microscope. Aquino, who has no dirt whatsoever clinging to him is dismissed as boring, inconsequential and tagged as a wimp, indecisive. Alas, the likes of Erap and Villar, with all sorts of ‘libag’ on their personalities are idolized as macho, masipag, matiyaga, leaders. Yeah, but for the wrong reasons. You see, we have always complained about the culture of corruption as that festering malady that has long devoured the nation’s soul. Children who started early in their lives in petty thievery soon would find themselves involved in serious crimes like murder. That’s how it is, kaibigang Florry. Still looking for that BIG achievement? Marami nyan yung ibang kandidato. Pero let them say to our faces na di sila magnanakaw pag nakaupo na. Yun lang.
exactly… as I wrote here earlier to ellen:
On Manny Villar’s campaign AD on TV. Children are used and it’s manipulative to the feelings of the voting public. Portraits of a candidate with his children or grandchildren will help to establish him as a “family man.” But the representation of anonymous or “real” but unrelated children can also play on a number of powerful emotions, including fear, anxiety, and hope for the future. Money Villar oversimplify concerns by stimulating emotions with extreme predictions about the future of our children that are based on short-lived or misleading information. Manny is most likely trying to indicate that children will not be safe in a country controlled by his opponent?
Is it legal? Not to me, I can interpret it as exploitation of children’s privacy especially if there’s no formal written parental consent. The abuse of lawlessness and the lack of legislation to protect the children’s privacy is not only of legal debate but of moral and ethical values. The use of children’s impressions is a violation of their right to privacy.
I have never understood the point of using children as trained symbols in political ads. Traditionally, children’s ad is more appropriate for school-related issues or initiatives. It appears to me that this is fundamentally de facto juvenile abuse. Looking at it differently also , it is primarily uncompensated child labor where paid child labor would be illegal. How can the adult voters by any means translate this in a positive way? In what manner the use of small children in political advertising says that the people behind or is being advertised either could not find a compelling adult to be in their ad, which is something you would think they would prefer to keep under wraps. Money Villar may have thought that voters are truly so pathetic that they would base their choices on misleading ad thru exploitation of children.
The children are the hope of our Nation. They should not be subject nor should be allowed to participate thru the BS of politics. They are too young. They should stay home, go to school and play…
Between Noynoy and Villar? no way jose. Noynoy is not the one for this country, either. Filipinos in general are honest and good people. Noynoy is just too common without the expertise of managing the country. 9 bills passed as a senator and yet none became law? that to me is not an accomplishment.

I don’t disagree with you on child exploitation. What do you expect to the kinds of people who do this! Reality is, we have to elect a president this May and choices are but limited to the ones running for this office. In the end of the day, it will be a choice between the two leading contenders, either Noynoy or Villar. Maybe three, if Estrada can make it to 30% plus standing. Problem in Philippines, unlike in US where you are, most US politicians adhere to the rule of law and more likely police themselves. In our country, it is the opposite, if I can sum it up this way. So given the choices and understanding that there is no ideal candidate, I’ll rather support the one who can lead by example. One who will depend and adhere to our laws to include the promotion of good governance so that programs related to jobs, infrastructure, food security, etc. can be successfully implemented and for other to follow! I’ve seen what other candidates had accomplish without naming names and in my opinion does things for the wrong reasons using the public office. No need for further clarification as the results can be seen wide in the open. So knowing what I know now and given the limited choices, it must be Noynoy and I’m thankful he took the challenge!
(You should go home and visit see for yourself!)
talking of achievements. ano ba ang outstanding achievement or statement that we cannot or should not forget ng mga naging presidente natin:
..Quezon..”I would rather have a gov’t run like hell by Filipinos than by American” ..we have it now.
..Osmena: ??
..Roxas: ??
..Quirino: yong 5,000 pesos na arinola?
..Garcia: ??
..Macapagal: ??????
..MaR
cont:
..Marcos: martial law??? dictatorship???
..Cory: a simple housewife who restored democracy?
..FVR: umangat ng kaunti ang economy natin..
..Erap: drinking and sleeping while on the job?
..Gloria: corruption? pagnakaw, mang daya, magsinungaling?
..ano kaya ang sa susunod!
Contrary to many people’s beliefs, it’s not that hard running this country. Armed with even the most basic of college education, any person. given the proper motivation, can run the affairs of the state. The problem is, we are trying to impose so many unnecessary qualifications on those running for public office when actually, there should be only one: Integrity. We tend to equate competence with eloquence in public speaking and the numerous titles after the family names yet, here we are, still in the dark ages even with those so-called technocrats, economists, Harvard-trained lawyers who only succeeded in burying us in deep shit. Look at the Japs. Their Prime Minister doesn’t speak fluent english when he speaks in UN, APEC, etc but look at Japan. They dont tolerate stealing, lying or cheating.
Erap could have been a good president even if he was a college drop-out. His long years in local government could have been enough to make him understand running the affairs of the state instead of his extra-marital affairs. He didnt have to be bright, that’s why he had a Diokno at Budget and a coterie of top rate advisers and cabinet secretaries to help him in the first place. But no, he instead splurge on expensive wine and fine dining and stayed up late playing mahjong while starlets are waiting for him to get laid in the BRP Ang Pangulo, the presidential yacht. He could have made us proud of him. Instead, he made us boot him out of office. Are we sorry that we booted him out? No. But we are sorry that Gloria replaced him. Do we had a choice then? No. She was next in the line of succession. Let that be very clear. Sayang si Erap. He had his chance and he blew it.
If Noynoy wins, for sure we are going to lose Mindanao, maybe Spratly too.
If Erap wins, magtago na sila sa Malaysia yong mga separatist soldiers kuno.
Maybe all of us here have different interpretation or understanding of the word “Achievement”. Maybe we should all look up a dictionary to get the real meaning of the word.
I can’t see how a silent Noynoy just sitting down and warming his chair achieve something significant just by warming his ass. Ibang klaseng achievement ito, bagong definition of the word, should go into the dictionary.
I can’t see how not finding a scandal attached to a Noynoy is said to be considered an achievement just because he is not involved in any anomaly.(which I doubt) Another new kind of achievement should go to the book of records.
Based on the above “achievements” what contributions or effect did it impact into the general public and into the country? Nananamnam ba ng mga tao kung anong lasa nito? May naitulong ba ito sa peace and order, sa economy, sa mga victims ng injustices and pag-control sa graft and corruption?
We are talking of Noynoy’s achievement as a public official or as a private citizen and that’s what I am asking for. Did he author or file any bill that was signed into law in congress or senate to help alleviate the poor conditions of the people or something to that effect? As of now there’s nothing that I know of.
Maybe Noynoy’s supporters can’t accept the fact that his performance as a public official is less than desirable, at best is mediocre. Oh yeah only the blind can’t see.
Now the burden of proof on his leadership qualities solely depends on him. He has to prove to one and all that he is not just the ACCIDENTAL candidate brought about by the passing away of his mother, that reminds me of the crying dumbo jumbo Drilon who said and I quote: “Noynoy is not yet ready for the presidency” Coming from his most ardent supporter defender and senatorial candidate, it’s hard not to believe.
And most of all he has to prove that he got what it takes to lead a country with 90 million people and on the brink of bankruptcy financially and morally.
The onus is on him to prove beyond reasonable doubt.
I’m pretty sure florry has been away from the country far too long…
The way this country works, you have to be one of the boys, you have to dance with wolves, otherwise how can you get support for your projects, most have bent over offering their behinds for the sake of their constituents. If you’re a newbie in a government department somewhere, especially where business licenses are concerned, first day you get an envelop of crisp 1000Php bills, if you don’t accept it, say goodbye to your career as you’ll be the odd one out.
DOn’t you get it? Bot to dance with these wolves is a gargantuan achievement in itself, not even VIllar, Gibo, or other wanabes could ever do…
Which great achievement are you referring to? the C5 issue or the seemingly inept SND who tolerated (and armed) the Ampatuans? wow, I’m amazed, you have very high standards! You must come from another planet, U-RANUS?
The problem with you is that you put to much stock in THE PRESIDENT will singlehandedly solve all our ills, become the miracle worker that will elevate the Philippines from its current situation – NO! It will take a COLLECTIVE effort, we all have to pitch in to make some changes around here…but we can’t do that if we don’t clean up first, starting with the presidency!
Have you tried authoring bills? Are you familiar with how you need to have them passed, if you have administration people with virtual monopoly, do you think any bill that will endanger their interests will pass? Come on florry, get real here…I thought you were intelligent? what are you, 5 years old?
Oopsm I meant “not” to dance with these wolves…
It’s really hard to believe that people supposed to be in their right frame of minds, with intelligence can be so naive,dumb and stupid to believe everything and every word that comes from the mouth of politicians.
Why? What do you think, Noynoy is not a politician? He is as trapo as the others. Why? Because those who take their pork barrel spend it or keep it are trapos. Those who engage in compromises, wheeling and dealing are trapos and he is no different.
When he said he is honest, you people said check; and when he said he will not steal, check and that’s it.
Ang mga taong madali at basta na lang naniniwala sa sinasabi ng iba lalo na sa mga politico, ang tawag doon ay mga uto-uto.
The way this country works, you have to be one of the boys, you have to dance with wolves,etc… – Jug
Maybe I agree with you but the thing is how can a country succeed if we always do it the old and usual way. That’s a defeatist attitude. Giving up without even trying. That’s why we need to elect a president with strong leadership qualities with a vision to discard the old and usual ways and change to a better way. If we always do the usual old way, then the country will always be the same old way – No progress, no future and always be the basket case of Asia and maybe the world.
That’s why we need to elect a president with strong leadership qualities with a vision to discard the old and usual ways and change to a better way. – florry
You seems to know better than everyone here. Who do you have in mind if I may ask?
My goodness, Jug, what is my business in authoring bills. Ask Noynoy, not me.
And yes, the recipe for success is collective effort. I have no quarrel with that. When you say collective effort that means we need a leader, a strong leader that can command respect, know how to delegate authority and of course knows what he is doing and that leader is the President.
So what qualities of a leader you have in mind to be voted as president? The qualities of Noynoy? Do you think so? It’s YOU who said that when he gets excited he is like a child affected with “downs syndrome”. And if I may add, when he gets excited, awed and shocked, time will stand still, eyes staring blank and mouth wide open. That description is something to describe what you call a child’s affected with “downs syndrome”. I just want to make it CLEAR that it’s not from me. Isn’t that embarrassing? Do you want a child-like that to be your president?
Then think again, who in this situation is the 5-year child?
florry,
I apololize to Noynoy for that remark. I admit it, I was one of those very critical of him before. I was also looking for a strong, visionary, statesman before (even now). I was really inclined in voting for Villar, not only was his credentials picture perfect on paper, personally, his demeanor is also presidentiable, I see him having lunch or coffee sometimes just right across our table in the hotel…and one of his pr people, a friend of mine is the type you will have a hard time saying no to, pretty, smart, eloquent, and a figure to die for – good thing I’m married already so I have this invisible amulet…
…but I was wrong, I was focused more on appearance and not on the real issues, on pettiness mostly. Lets face it, Noynoy is not really a poster boy for presidency…but thats just it, what do we really need? what do we really want? coupled with talks from fellow businessmen, bankers, etc., Villar’s reputation is quite colorful in these circles…
Believe me, if by an act of God, Lacson will be back in the running again, I’d shift without batting an eyelash but for now, Noynoy is the one who would do the least damage, more inclined to respect our institutions, less inclined to hide behind technical legalities, and allow our institutions and businesses to repair and strengthen themselves without undue selfish intervention on his part…
Noynoy is the boy-next-door, nerd looking, quiet, classmate you don’t tend to notice much type, but normally these guys usually grow up to be the more reliable employees, no flash, someone you can trust to look after things trustworthily while you fix things…
…and we need to do a lot of fixing…
I’d rather vote for someone who didn’t insert billions of pesos in the budget to pay for his personal business project — one who is diametrically opposed to Villar. I think in a sense, that’s an outstanding performance. – Anna
Approve! Good one, Anna.
Sa dahilan walang false advertising act sa PINAS ang lahat sige sige lang ang pagwawalanghiya ng mga negosyante sa kaawang mamayan.Katulad din ng ating mga pulitiko,kahit pa may INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM,walang epecto sa mamayan,ano man ipalabas ng media sa publiko ay POLITICAL MOTIVES ng kalaban,at may kaso pa ng libel ang kasama,at kung ang nakahawak ng kaso ay isang hoodloom in robe ay malas mo,bayad ka libre pa media mileage ng pulitiko.Kaya pati ang mga inosenteng paslit at mga kilalang personalidad saan sector ng lipunan ay ginagamit upang ipahayag ang mapanligaw sa kaalam ng mamayan.Sabi nga NO WARRANTY G,TAKE IT AS IS,iyan ang pulitika sa bayan ko,next election ka na lang bumawi,kung mababawi mo pa ang ninakaw niya.
Olan,
I am always home every once a year. I was just there december til 3 weeks ago. How can a boy next door type like Noynoy manage the problem of this country. You have senators and the house who are corrupt. Noynoy is not an expert of the law even experience in business , or leading a group of people or even basic finance.
Corruption is the consequence of countless non -transparent transactions. It can also be the result of the lack of know-how in public money management. Noynoy passing a bill without single approval from the House? How can he lead this country?
The national budget is after all funded by the people, 1. through TAXATION which enacts people’s existing resources for the undertakings of its government, or through 2. BORROWINGS which entrusts tomorrow generation’s resources for the government’s strategic development needs.
Noynoy’s policy on taxation is too basic and it’s only a component in public money management. Maybe this government must put emphasis on expenditures for human and social development over and above debt servicing for example. Decreasing taxation is just another LIE and it’s not even the solution.
Voter’s education is one key. And going back…if Cory, in whose honor we should be voting for Noynoy, was a great President, then she should have made her people more intelligent , educated voters and critical so that they wouldn’t have voted for Erap and GMA but look where we are now, and once again, where we’re heading.
Voting for Noynoy will set this country even backward.
The problem with civil society and Noynoy’s supporters is arrogance. If Cory publicly apologized to Erap for Edsa Dos, most are just too proud to admit their mistake. How can we learn from a mistake and a disaster when there is no admission?
Not until these people swallow their pride can we have realization.
If they did not overthrow a legitimately elected president, we wouldn’t have the karma we have now, that is GMA!
Wrong assumption. We are not sorry for Erap’s banishment from the presidency. Yes, we are sorry na buwisit yung pumalit. What u dont realize or perhaps refuse to realize is that way back then, Glue is the VP and she was next in the line of succession. Now unless na sabihin mo na iba sana ang ipinalit kay Erap at di si Putot ay papayag pa ako.Even Madame Auring did not foretell na mas impakta pa pala tong Gloria na to kaysa sa laksitibong si Erap. So, klaro. Patulog-tulog kasi tong idol nyo. Kung magaling lang kasi, sana nalaman nya na matagal na pala syang pinagpaplanuhan ng mag aswang Pidal na pabagsakin. O di sana nalaman pa ng taong bayan na mas impakta pala ang papalit sa kanya at baka napagtiyagaan pa si Erap. So tama na ang paninisi. E kung idol nyo nga e walang kamalay-malay na kino coup de etat na sya at sya pa ang presidente noon ha? Bakit nyo sinisisi ang iba na di alam ang pagkatao ni Putot?
Sisihin nyo si Erap. Di nya nga alam e. Si Juan pa. Nuff said. Nakakakulele na sa tenga. Yellow fever wannabe, elitista, Obesseppo. etc. Corny na masyadado pre.
henry90,
Mas corny ka pre, kasi sarado ang isip mo. Kung sinasabi niyong kasalanan ni Erap lahat, bakit kahit isang miyembro ng kabinete niya walang nasangkot sa anomalya? Maayos naman ang takbo noon, pati MILF at kaguluhan sa Mindanao tapos na sana.
Masyado lang pinulitika dahil di matanggap ng mga middle class at mga inggiterong tulad mo na nalamangan kayo ng isang college dropoutm, di ba pre???
Ang problema sa mga tulad ninyo masyado kayong mayabang. Tignan ninyo muna ang nakapaligid sa kandidato ninyo. May mga dungis din sila, hindi lahat ng na kay Noynoy ay malinis gaya ng sinasabi ninyo.
Ang tawag sa mga trying hard na tulad mo ay “social climber”.
Relax pre, wag mapikon ha?
Di mo sinasagot tanong ko kasi ikaw ang mayabang. Kung si Erap na Presidente na mismo ay di alam ang nangyayari sa paligid nya, bakit pa sya iboboto uli? Bakit napunta sa gabinete ang usapan? Kamo. kahit kalahati lang tapang sana ni Cory ang nakuha ni Erap, di sya napatalsik. Iyan ang problema sa walang alam pre. Sunod lang sa sasabihin ni Angara o ni Zamora noon. Tingnan mo ayaw na nilang umulit uli kay Erap. Bopol kasi. Presidente ka. Nasa iyo ang lahat ng kapangyarihan, di mo man lang naamoy na may niluluto mga kalaban mo? Wala pang sumusugod sa Malacanang mo, tumakbo ka na agad? Kasi, madali lang umutos pre na pulbusin nyo ang MILF pre. Sundin lang ng sundalo yan. Pero kung ikaw na mismo amg gigyerahin, ay ibang usapan na yan kay Pareng Erap. Pusang alaws, di pa nga nilulusob ang malacanang ay tumakbo na agad. Sana ang ginawa nya ay, “Hindi! Di ako aalis dito! PSG, bigyan nyo ko ng baril! Lalaban tayo ng patayan! Kaso lang sa pelikula lang pala yun. Naduwag si Erap pre. Talo pa ng mga babaeng presidente. Di umaatras sa laban. Tapos gusto pa bumalik? Naman tayo o! Baka tumakbo na nman pag kinudeta uli? Tama ka pre! College drop-out nga siya at pinatunayan nya lang ang pagka bopol nya! hehehe
Hindi duwag si Erap pre. Mahalaga sa kanya ang bawat buhay, at siya mismo nagpaalis sa mga supporters niya na gustong lumaban ng patayan.
Kung walang hiya siya gaya ni GMA at Chavit, eh di sana ang mayayabang na gaya mo na nasa Edsa Dos eh inupakan na sana ng militar.
Dapat matuto kang rumispeto sa pananaw ng iba. Hindi yang ganyang para kang ungas>
Palagay ko mas bopol ka pre kasi makitid ang pag-iisip mo at di ka marunong rumispeto sa opinyon ng iba.
Bakit kaming makamasa, mas marunong rumispeto kaysa sa mga tulad mong supposed to be learned?
Di namin binabastos ang inyong kandidato. May narinig ka ba na panlalait namin kay Noynoy?
Baka di tayo matapos dito kapag nilabas ko ang panlalait namin sa mga kandidato ninyo.
Palibhasa marunong kami at hindi bastos.
Kahit ano pa sabihin mo pre. Bopol pa rin yang manok mo na kapareho mo. . .may parespeto-respeto ka pa sa buhjay na nalalaman. Sabihin mo yan sa pamilya ni Bentain na nawawala pa hanggang ngayon. . .lol
