Rectifying travesty of justice

The battle cry of Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, Jr. during the election campaign was “Kung walang korap, walang mahirap.”

He promised to wage a campaign against corruption, which he said deprives the people of thousands and million of pesos a year which should have gone to education, health, and other social services

Gloria Arroyo is the epitome of corruption and deceit. Fertilizer scam, NBN ZTE, Road Users tax, the list is too long for this space.

Now that Aquino is the next president, courtesy of more than 14 million Filipinos who voted for him – the biggest mandate bestowed on presidential candidate since the restoration of democracy in 1986, everybody would be watching him how he would make good his promise to end poverty by curbing corruption.

Aquino’s initial moves indicate that he remains focused in fulfilling that pledge.

Aquino knows that the judiciary is crucial in his anti-corruption campaign. Senate investigations have given the public a picture of massive corruption emanating from the highest level of government and yet what happened to cases?. As the anti-graft crusading lawyer Frank Chavez lamented about the record of the Ombudsman, they are just given the Mona Lisa treatment: “They just lie there and they die there.”

In his talk with reporters last Thursday, Aquino said, “I am really committed to number one, setting up a mechanism where we have closure of everything. That’s why you find the question of Ombudsman so important. And then, judicial reform also will be the stick we will wield on everybody past and present and hopefully in the future.”

July 27, 2003 in Oakwood Hotel
July 27, 2003 in Oakwood Hotel
Related to his fight against corruption is what happened in Oakwood on July 27, 2003. A group of military officers, young enough not to have been eaten up yet by the culture of corruption in the military, discovered startling proofs of anomalies long-talked-about in the establishment such as arms and ammunitions being sold to the enemy and used against them.

One of the core leaders, Lt (sg) Antonio Trillanes IV made a study of corruption in the Philippine Navy and tried to bring it to the attention of Malacañang.

Arroyo’s reaction was to order him arrested and paraded to the media. Pushed to the wall, the officers and soldiers, some 300 of them, made a stand at the Oakwood Premier Hotel starting the wee hours of July 27 demanding reforms in the military. No blood was shed in the 19-hour siege that ended with a supposedly gentleman’s agreement that only the core leaders would be charged in the military court and the rest, most especially the enlisted men, would simply return to barracks.

Not surprisingly, Gloria Arroyo reneged on the agreement and charged everybody. For many of the officers, they were charged with several violations of the Articles of War in the military court and coup d’etat in the civilian court.

So many things have happened since 2003. Some have succumbed to the intense pressure employed by the government, some have remained steadfast. There have been betrayals. While some friendships were strained, there were also some that were strengthened.

In 2007, Trillanes brought his case to the people and was elected senator. It was a slap in the face of Arroyo which she didn’t take lightly. Up to this day, Trillanes remains in detention.

In last Thursday’s talk with reporters, Aquino blurted out his desire to have the case of Trillanes reviewed because it is his understanding that what happened in Oakwood on July 27, 2003 does not constitute coup d’etat as defined in the Revised Penal Code.

Article 134-A of the Revised Penal Code states: “The crime of coup d’etat is a swift attack accompanied by violence, intimidation, threat, strategy or stealth, directed against duly constituted authorities of the Republic of the Philippines, or any military camp or installation, communications network, public utilities or other facilities needed for the exercise and continued possession of power, singly or simultaneously carried out anywhere in the Philippines by any person or persons, belonging to the military or police or holding any public office of employment with or without civilian support or participation for the purpose of seizing or diminishing state power.”

Aquino noted that a hotel is not among the places enumerated in the law as target for the act to be considered a coup. “ Ang issue po .Oakwood. So di dapat lumampas sa fiscal na mali ang kaso. Pero lumabas sa piskal umabot sa korte nakakulong ng pitong taon ang dalawa sa kasong yan.”

(Note: Aquino included Brig. Gen. Danny Lim, who was included in his senatorial ticket, in his concern. Lim was not part of Oakwood. Lim was charged with mutiny in 2006 as he was suspected of planning, with 27 other military officers, to withdraw support from Arroyo after the “Hello Garci” expose.

(On Nov. 29, 2007, together with Trillanes and other Magdalo officers, Lim walked out of the hearing on Oakwood at the Makati Regional Trial Court, where he was to be a witness, and marched to Manila Peninsula where they made another stand against Arroyo.)

Aquino said he is concerned about wrong interpretation of the law and believes the “travesty of justice” must be rectified.

A non-lawyer, Aquino is showing a high respect of the law. That’s a good start.

    Amen, Ms. Ellen.

    Excited na nga ako na mag July 1, 2010 dahil unang una, wala na si GMA sa Malacanang at pangalawa, para malaman kung ano diskarte ni Aquino sa paghabol kay GMA.

    Sana nga magawaan ng paraan na mapa alis na yung kampon ni GMA sa Ombudsman para may mangyari sa paghahabol sa mga corrupt na officials.

    Please do not forget all political prisoners (your father was one) – the Morong 43, and the Lieutenant imprisoned for distributing Erap CDs.

    It may also be in order to reinstate those who lost their soldier/officer status for crimes committed against the Salamander-in-Chief (kapit-tuko). Bigyan na rin ng backpay – barya lang yan, compared to the sums na pinalampas, courtesy of Abalos’ unused machines, and the bolantic fertilizer. Kunin sa intelligence fund mo, para walang question. That would be an intelligent way of using the intelligence fund.

    Sana nga tuloy-tuloy ni Noynoy ang medyo magandang simula at huwag padala sa mga sulsol ng kahit sinuman.

  4. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Dapat huwag siyang padala sa bulong brigade galing sa Hyatt 10 at Kamag-Anak Inc. Pa-iralin ang rule of law at transparency.

  5. Amen. Like all of us here, we wanted each and every corrupt government officials have their day in court or, give them space in the slammers. I’m hopeful that Noynoy will do what he promised to do. After all, his father paid the ultimate price. But I am also expecting that – day 1 – he releases every single political prisoners. I can’t wait to see Trillanes and the rest out and be free.

  6. Hindi na ako naniniwala diyan sa Electronic Garci.Kung talagang may matibay silang ebednsia ay ilantad na nila hindi iyung nagtatakip pa ng mukha si Koala Bear.Palabas lang iyan para iderail ang resulta ng election.Mas maniwala pa ako kung si Gibo ang nanalo.

    Sa aking palagay kaya ibinoto ng tao si Noynoy kundi dahil siya ay anak ni Ninoy o Cory. Kaya siya ibinoto ng tao dahil sa pangako niyang kakasuhan ang mga kurap from presidenti hangang sa barangay kapten. Ganun din si Binay kaya siya ang ibinoto ng tao dahil prangkahan niya inilatag na kakasuhan niya si Gloria at ang mga alipores niya.Iyan ang kinagat ng masa. Kung sana si Gibo nanindigan nung una pa man na kakasuhan niya si Gloria di sana siya ang ibinoto ng tao.

  7. SnV: Please do not forget all political prisoners (your father was one) – the Morong 43, and the Lieutenant imprisoned for distributing Erap CDs.

    Lt. Artemio Raymundo, the officer who was imprisoned for almost four years for sharing with other military personnel CDs on the life of Erap he got at the LRT distributed for free, has already been restored to active duty and is assigned at the Philippine Marines headquarters at Fort Bonifacio.

    The military court dismissed charges of violations of Articles of War 96 (Conduct Unbecoming an Officer and Gentleman) ; 97 (Conduct Prejudicial to Good Order and Military Discipline).

    He was found guilty of violations of Articles of War #64 (Disrespect Towards Superior Officer).Since the punishment for this offense is detention for a few months, the court said “time served”. Sobra-sobra pa nga.

    Lt. Raymundo at first tried to contest the court’s decision but last month, he decided to drop the opposition so he can move on with his career without any pending case.

    Palagay mo lang yan pero ala ka namang ebidensya.

  9. Puro epeculation lang yang lumalabas na Kaoal Bear ngayon.Malay natin baka si Gloria Arroyo mismo o si FG iyung nagtakip ng mukha. Lumabas siya at lumantad para maging kapanipaniwala.Tapos na ang election nanalo na si Noynoy.Tangapin na lang natin ang resulta at iproklama na si Noynoy saka busisiin iyang electronic garci kung talagang may dayaan di kasuhan ang mga involve at tangalin sa pwesto ang mga nanalo na nandaya para umusad na tayo at makapagsimula. uubusin pa natin ang konting panahon sa Koala bear na iyan di tuwang-tuwa iyung nakaupo ngayon sa Malacanang dahil ma eextend pa uli siya para gagawa ng kababalaghan.

    I, for one, would like to see how Noynoy would make his campaign promises go into fruition. He has (for me) the most viable way to get at the rogues that we would want to see justice served. I have gritted my teeth for so long at the shenanigans of the Arroyo regime and now find hope one Aquino is proclaimed president. I am quite realistic about the many hurdles (to put it in an understatement) he will encounter to make these push forward. But better than all what had been whitewashed before. This Koala bear issue was forthcoming…blame it on the stubborn-ness of COMELEC to refuse counter-checks…nun pa sinasabihan kasi! I’m just smirking now—mukhang may conspiracy na naman nga to sabotage. At first, I thought No-El yata ito but then mabuti ring nag-concede na karamihan ng presidentiables.

    The Commander-in-Chief can nullify that decision, so that Lt. Raymundo’s record is restored to its pristine clear whiteness. That would also be a break from the past; a repudiation of the injustice of putting a man in prison and blemishing his career record for the petulant wish of a Salamander-in-Chief.

    You want to right wrongs? Do it first where the President has unquestioned jurisdiction and authority – in the military.

  12. florry florry

    Talk is cheap. Most of the time politicians say something and do otherwise. The best thing is not raise the bar of too much expectation; it hurts more if it doesn’t meet even halfway of what was expected.

    Although Noynoy is considered just as trapo as the others,let’s just hope that he will be different kind of trapo if ever there is one.

  13. “Mga delusional na talaga itong mga kampon ni autistic Noynoy.”

    Xman, ansaket naman sa feelings ko na delusional na ako when I have got nothing to do with what they’re talking about, let alone mandaya. nakaka-hurt hu hu hu!

    Anybody can make statements like what they’re talking about in the video. How many days na ba ang hearing nang committee? In fact, even Teddy Locsin is not independent to be manning that committee given na asawa nya lost in the election.

    What these three need to do (Jamby, Perlas, JC) is to present convincing evidence as to how the voted were rigged. Siguro naman me mga lawyers here who can discuss better than me kung pano ang rightful way to present evidence instead of chit-chat like what they’re doing in the video. I guess that’s called hearsay? Dunno.

    For me? I’d be very interested to know the reasons for the differences in count. But I thought that was already resolved by Comelec based on their random manual audit na some votes that were not counted were the results of those ovals not “appreciated” very well. term nila yong word na yan, meaning hindi nabilugan ang hugis na itlog.

    When the elections started, I thought Villar was a sure win, he had all the advantages one could ever want, a massive war chest, an impressive resume, a very strong campaign strategy almost bordering on behaviour modification, and all the connections…I was thinking only an act of God can change it…and people doing a leap of faith, betting on someone with nothing much but his parents’ legacy…
    We’ve seen good things come to pass, lets pray that the release, dropping of all charges, and reinstatement of the incarcerated officers and soldiers will follow soon.
    …as it is, someone was right when he/she said not to lose hope…

  16. I trust Teddy Locsin more than this xman, who due to his being anonymous, I suspect is the man wearing the koala mask… 🙂

    Yung slogan nya “Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap” should also be asked of the farmers in Hacienda Luisita na sa tagal nila dun ay mahirap pa rin. I know that coruption is not the reason why alll of them in the hacienda are still mahirap up to this day.

    Anyway, gusto rin naming makita kung kaya nyang gawin yung mga pangako nya to go after the corrupt officials in government. Sa totoo lang, si Noynoy lang ang ganyan ang slogan yung ibang mga presidentiables do not make that their campaign slogan. On the other hand,ang problema nyan eh kung di nya magawa yan tapos sisihan nya ang ibang mga bagay kung kaya di nya nagawa yun. Syempre baka tabangan ang tao sa kanya. Remember Cory who after forming the PCGG eh ni isang Marcos or his crony e wala namang nakulong. Baka ganyan din yan. The best thing is not to make that a priority but on how to uplift the economic status of each Filipino. they say that only a few families holds the entire wealth of the nation. Kung paano ma-didistribute yan wealth to the majority of the people especially dun sa mga rural areas sa probinsya e yan dapat ang maging priority ng presidency ni Noynoy.

    One columnist wrote na kung ganyan ang priority ni Noynoy e baka araw-araw mabubuog tayo sa mga balita na mga corrupt officials na naexexpose sa media pero yung problema ng bansa sa unemployment e napapabayaan. Well, this is just a suggestion.

  18. Hindi maresolve iyang problema ng uemployement kung walang employer. Kailangan natin mag attract ng investor para sila ang magiging employer then we can generate job.Ang mga investor ay hindi mamumuhunan sa bansa natin kung di matatag ang gobyerno at walang fixed na exchange rate.Karamihan in dollar ang dadalhin ng puhunan nila diyan,kaya takot sila dahil sa pabago bago ng exchange rate.45 ngayon bukas 44 then sa makalawa 43 then biglang tumaas ng 49 saan sila susugal dahil ang pisong deperensya sa dollar na puhunan nila ay malaking halaga lalo na kung milyon milyon ang investment nila. Kung magkaroon tayo ng fixed exchange rate may mahihikayat dahil alam nila kung ano ang trending ng currency nila at makapag plano sila with accuracy. Iyan ang problema sa atin kaya matamlay ang mga investor na mag invest sa atin. No Investment,No Employer= No job.

    KOREK Igan Orson…tayo pa ang uutuin ni Noynoy na, “Kung wala daw CORRUPT, walang MAHIRAP.”?

    In the first place, bakit ba umabot ng 10-years ang gloria regime? Ngayon, ang tapang ng apog magsalita di ba sila ang nag-upo kay gloria sa enchanted kingdom…NOT ONCE, but TWICE?

    Akala mo korek at ang tino e isa siya at kasama niya ang kanyang Momi Santita Cory na partners-in-crime, and until now…ang problema sa Hacienda Luisita e di pa maresobla at ilang pobreng Noypi ang biktima ng massacre doon.

    Ang dami niyang tsetse-buretse…gawin nýa ito ng magkaalam-alam kung ano ba talaga ang laman ng kanyang kukote. Ang hirap di pa siya proklamado e ang dami niyang pasakalye…harapin muna nila yaong Hocus-PCOS dahil sa maraming naglalabasang speculations tungkol dito.

    Mahirap nang ipagsapalaran ang kapalaran ng bansa sa electronic Garci, dapat tuldukan ang isyung ito kung may katotohanan ba o wala!

    What’s this I’m hearing about the BWM, according to one of their convenor, leah navarro, their group (BWM) could be unforgiving in criticizing noynoy’s administration (not yet even sworn in), if one or any of their members are not given a cabinet appointment.

    GEeezzzz….. this BWM is really stupid, remember these group, most of their members belongs to the elitist group, who happens to be on the side of gloria, until that fateful, “I am sorry” chapter of the the 2004 presidential election.

    Most of the members of this BWM used to support gloria.

    Now this, noynoy has not yet even sworn to uphold his election as the next president, comes the threat of being “unforgiving critics”. Stupid is as stupid does, but this means only one thing, they want payback from noynoy after supporting his candidacy.

    Kung ngayon pa lang e, BWM is holding noynoy a hostage.

    Why not let noynoy choose his own cabinet members without pressure, and if the cabinet members fails then that’s the time to criticize, hindi yung hindi pa nga nakakapanumpa e tinatakot na agad.

    What does leah navarro think she is? all knowing?stupid is as stupid does, bakit hindi ka na lang bumalik sa pagkanta mo.

    The height of hypocrisy!

    Inang nating Folks, ang lakas namang mangalaska nitong si Horrorable Noynoy about sa winika niya na concerned daw siya tungkol sa palapak na interpretasyon ng ating batas at juicenaman natin e siya ang isa sa mga hudas at naghudas sa ating Saligang Batas last 2001 kaya nga nagkaroon ng EDSA DOS?

    Sino ba ginagago ng taong ito…sa aking pakiwari e wala sa katinuan ang pag-iisip nito, kasi nga ang bilis makalimot sa ginawa nila noong EDSA DOS? Naiintindihan ba niya ang words na “Coup d’etat at Conspiracy…na kanilang ginawa noong 2001?

    Paanong titino ang Noypi at uunlad ang bansa kung ang mga tulad ni Horrorable Noynoy e isang sinungaling, mapagpaimbabaw at ipokrito…at ang feeling kong ito e base sa kanyang patutsada from the above thread.

    Kung ganito ng ganito ang takbo at kalakaran ng pangangatwiran ng Noypi e huwag na tayong aasa pa na magkakaroon ng tunay na pagbabago sa ating bansa.

    Ang tatapang ng apog e sila ang numero unong violators ng ating Saligang Batas at the rule of the elitista ang pinairal nila sa lansangan kaya heto kandakuba tayong lahat sa hirap at dusa…imagine, 10-years at ngayon ibubuntong lahat kay gloria ang sisi e kundi nila sinulsulan si madam magkakalakas ba yan ng loob na agawin ang enchanted kingdom sa lehitimong Pangulo ng Bansa.

    Aquino has shown a lot of gumption and character, so far.

    Refusing to take his oath of office before Corona, he has served notice to the man that the whole country will be watching his (Corona’s) every move as a Gloria-stamping pad.

    And now he has thumbed down a proposal by his kamaganak uncle Peping Cojuangco to legalize jueteng.

    So far, so good. I can’t wait to see him sit as President so we can get rolling on the anti-corruption and justice for all mission.

    Pader, si Erap na “victim” ng EDSA 2 ay nakipagbati na kina Cory at Noynoy na sinasabing mong mga nag conspire laban sa kanya. Hindi mo ba pwedeng gayahin si Erap? Imagine mo chika chika na sila ni Noynoy at Kris pero yung mga Eraptians, galit pa rin sa mga Aquino.

    Kung na etsapwera si Erap sa EDSA 2,nabigyan na sya ng chance ngayong election. Kayo na nagsasabi na impressive ang performance nya. Kung maproclaim man si Noynoy at okay na kay Erap, ayon sa kanyang unang declaration na hindi sya mag protest, okay na rin ba yun sa inyo?

    Re: #19 Reyna Elena

    Your Royal Highness, I am sorry for the hurt that it caused you and to anyone else. I just drank to much molotov cocktail this morning instead of my regular shots of sioktong.

    You have to look at different angles. Do not rely on what Comelec is telling you, only candidates who benefited from this massive fraud will believe them. Comelec never followed the prescribed rules and procedures to minimize cheating. It was not supposed to do the audit themselves, it should be an independent entity or corraborated by independent entity. So, the problems were just the ovals?

    The wife of Congressman Locsin is trying to replace him in the district of Makati and allegedly lost. He is investigating not only the Congressional district of Makati but from the presidential race down to wherever it goes. He is doing a fine job, so far. Now, they can assign an independent audit for the district of Makati to make sure that Congressman Locsin did not file a false findings in that particular district.

    i totally disagree with your comments

  26. Tapos na ang election nanalo na si Noynoy.Now we have elected our leader and we must all accept it. It is time we stopped speculating. We love Politics and will discuss at every street corner. I believe we will vote every day if we are given the chance! That’s because we are a manageable size and everyone feels important enough to choose the leader.

    Today is a new day. It’s a new era. Regardless of who you voted for or why, it’s time to switch gears,It’s time to pray for Noynoy as he transitions to become our President. So, if your candidate lost. I’m sorry. If you’re worried your issues aren’t going to be being addressed. I’m sorry.

  27. There is something to be said about those who do not want any resolution to our problems. Why some people insist on making a mess of everything when we have started on a solution already…
    …I have never heard/read Erap himself say anything negative about Noynoy, nor Noynoy about Erap…
    why some people refuse to see closure is beyond me, and make me suspect that they are not true pro-erap either but pro-something-that-doesn’t-want-a-smooth-transition-from-Gloria…baka gusto lang nilang manggulo kasi ayaw nilang mapalitan si Gloria? hmmmmm…

    I heard from the Eraptians that Erap ranked third in his country of San Juan. Kahit sinong hindi Eraptians mahihirapan paniwalaan ito dahil balwarte ni Erap ang San Juan. So yung ingay dyan sa automated garci, ang daming loopholes talaga nyan. Una, yung flash cards. basta na lamang ininstall dun sa mga PCOS machines ni di man laang na-check isa-isa ng mga representatives ng mga political parties. Pangalawa, yung PCOS machine mismo na di transparent yung lalagyan ng mga election ballots. Paano kung may mga laman na yun bago nagsimula yung botohan. so, the best dyan usisain yung Voters Record bawat presinto, tingnan kung ilan ang mga bumoto nung May 10 at i-compare sa election returns ng bawat presinto. May nabasa ako isang presinto 100% ang bumoto. Mahirap paniwalaan ito dahil clustered precint na ngayon, meaning, mas lumaki ang voting population bawat clustered precint. which is good news dahil nabawasan ng 2/3 ang mga required teachers para maging Board of Election Inspectors. Pero yung sabihin mong 100 percent yung bumuto sa isang mas malaking clustered precint, mahirap mangyari yun. Ano yun perfect attendance.

    So sa canvassing dapat ma-identify yung mga presinto at mga lugar na medyo kaduda-duda yung outcome. Ako kahit sino maging presidente ok lang, pero dapat convincing yung pagka-panalo para respetuhin sya. ke malaki o maliit yung panalo dun sa pangalawa ok lang yan, dapat kapani-paniwala.

    I am not a computer expert. Pero malaking bagay talaga yung mga flash cards na dineliver sa mga presinto sa buong pilipinas na hindi na na-examine bawat isa. Pero di ako sigurado kung papayag yung camp ni Noynoy dito dahil maabala ang proclamation ni Noynoy.

  29. I heard from the Eraptians that Erap ranked third in his country of San Juan. Kahit sinong hindi Eraptians mahihirapan paniwalaan ito dahil balwarte ni Erap ang San Juan.
    —————————————-

    This is simple, no rocket science – just check how many Iglesia ni Christo voters are in San Juan? The machines have security features, the supplier needs to protect their name because they have a business to run (hindi lang sa Pilipinas). There are some irregularities, but are minor, isolated ones (precinct level), bottomline negligible…

  30. We must accept the fact that most people have moved on, that some Eraptians although they adore him, voted for Noynoy because of other reasons that maybe personal to them.

    RE: Noynoy topnotcher even in San Juan.

    It is the opinion of many that the primary reason Erap “lost” in his own turf is the INC’s endorsement of Noynoy. Ang SAn Juan bilang dating sentro ng INC ay isa sa bayan sa Metro Manila na may pinakamaraming INC members.

  32. orson orson

    Ano ang reaction ng mga Eraptians dito?

    Anyway, ako lumaki ako sa QC. May mga kaibigan ako sa San Juan. At based sa mga kwento nila, San juan is really Erap’s country from the time na mayor pa lang si Erap hanggang naging Presidente sya nung 1998. Kasi nga talagang makamasa si Erap, nakikihalubilo ssa mga ordinaryong tao. Tapos bukas palagi yung bahay kahit kanino. Maski mga artista alam na ganyan si Erap. With Erap’s loss in his hometown, maaring nagbago na nga ang panahon.

    Sabi ko nga, kahit sino manalo okay sa kin. Pero dapat mapaliwanag talaga ng maayos yang automated garci na yan. Kasi nga unfair naman kay Noynoy kung talagang siya na ang maging presidente na pagdudahan yung pagkapanalo nya. I know Noynoy by himself will not allow these things.

    Basta sa araw ng canvasssing sa congress, sabi ko nga dapat di lang Certifites of Canvass (CoCs)ang basahin. Dapat lahat ng mga partido pumayag na i-examine din yung Election Returns at i-kumpara dun sa Voter turnout bawat presinto at yung actual number ng bumoto sa presintong yun based dun sa Voter’s Records.

  33. Phil Cruz Phil Cruz

    While many are excited to see Noynoy launching his offensives against corruption and injustice, the road won’t be easy. Gloria has seen to that by filling up the judiciary and the Ombudsman with her rubber stamps.

    This is where Citizen Power is needed. It continues to be necessary because Noynoy can’t do it by himself. He still needs the citizens behind him continuously putting pressure on those who will try to thwart his moves.

    By this I mean citizens watching their respective Congressmen, Senators, the Judiciary and the Ombudsman… and raising hell when these people act against the public good.

    I prefer to call this Citizens Power rather than People Power.

    The latter is such an over-used word. Citizen Power rings more of involvement in many various ways… subtle and non-subtle. It is not just for those who march in the streets, it is also for those who watch, monitor, report and display their sentiments is various new media such as emails, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, town council meetings, etc.

    Actually, napakadali lang malaman kung totoo pinagsasabi ng tatlong itlog na yan. Isama na si Koala Boy whatever. Kumuha ng isang gumaganang PCOS machine. Dalhin sa Kongreso. Ipatest run at suriin na talagang gumagana at nakakapag transmit ng data. Bigyan si Koala ng CF card at tingnan kung kaya nyan imanipulate yung data na pinadala. Bigyan din siya ng PCOS machine nya at ipatransmit yung mga hawak nya na balota kuno at tingnan natin kung totoo nga mga pinagsasabi ng kolokoy na yan. Pag hindi, ipakain sa kanya yung mga CF cards na yan. . .Dami pang satsat. Kasimple lang naman malaman yan kung gugustohin nila. Ilang araw nang iniimbestigahan puro Youtube lang ni Jamby ipinapakita. I say, let them demonstrate kung paano nila ginawa kuno. Give them the PCOS machine. Tingnan mo, mabilis pa yan sa alas kuatro na sasabihin ni Koala Boy, ” Actually po, di ako ang nag operate nyan. Ako po, taga alok lang. Taga hanap ng kliyente kumbaga. May iba po kaming kasamahan na yun talaga ang nagtatransmit.” Sanamagan! 😛

    Ka Henry, kadami na ring nagsulputan na mga talunan na sinasabing “inalok” sila ng programmed card. Si Barber, yung sa Laguna at madami pa. Sila yung mga incumbent, supposedly tasked to uphold the law, bakit hindi nila sinuplong sa pulis o Comelec yung nag aalok. Pag tinanong sila kung ano pangalan, hindi nila alam. Susmio, magbibigay ng milyon, kung sakali, sa hindi kakilala.

    finally, ang pinagtataka ko, wala bang nag alok kay Villar? Kung ako ay operator, si Villar ang uunahin ko at maiaalok ko ang programmed card (kung mayron nga) kahit 2 bilyon.

    Opppsss…Igan Oblak, si Santita Cory ang nag “I am Sorry”…NOT President Erap!

    Si Santita Cory ang humingi ng sori sa ginawa nilang kamalian noong EDSA 2 at nakita n’yo na kinupkop na ng pobre itong si Noynoy upang mapabilang at tulungan na naipanalo bilang Senador. Nangyari di ba!

    Ang punto ng mga Eraptians eh mag-antay kayo sa finale ng ballot counting ng Kongreso…yon lang at kung sino ang magwagi sa halalan e PANALO, di ba kasimple lang.

    Ang problema sa mga Yellow wannabes at symphatizers nito e di marunong mag-intay ng proklamasyon ng Kongreso at idinadaan sa media ang isyu.

    Hindi po ang Comelec or PPCRV or any groups ang may jurisdiction sa usaping ito kundi ang Kongreso…ang linaw at bakit nagmamadali ang Yellow armies, atat na ba silang maupo sa enchanted kingdom.

    Nakatiis kayo ng 10-years e ngayon pa na ilang araw na lang ang aantayin n’yo?

    May narinig ba kayong negative comments sa Pangulong Erap…di ba wala, kundi ang sabi niya e antayin natin ang finale ng Kongreso.

    Yan ang boses Masang Noypi…!

    Pader, sige na, bati na sina Aquino at Erap. Tinulungan ni Erap si Noynoy (although hindi ko alam kung paano nangyari yun). Kaya nga buddy buddy na sila. Dapat siguro hindi ka na “galit” kay Noynoy lalo na kung ma proclaim si Noynoy (specially IF Noynoy will be proclaimed)

    Re: Hacienda Luisita…Noynoy is just one of the stockholders…and I suppose not the the biggest or is he? He does not control the votes..he can not decide for all of them..bakit idamay ang ibang stockholders na may kanyang kanya namang decision…lahat na lang ba si Noy Noy ang may kasalanan? kasalanan ba niya na the only anak na lalaki ni
    Ninoy at ni Cory? is this democracy? free enterprise? si putot nga yumaman..dahil sa she married an Arroyo? si Cory ay tinatawag na Santa santita pero ano? maldita? Cory was an exasmple of how a true Christian or for that matter a Catholic…remember the beatitudes? ano ba ito..for Noynoy? damn if you do damn if you don’t…mahirap espellingin? mahirap ang bagong pananalita..short cut…text na lang..maraming binabago…marami ang babaguhin…iba na ang takbo ng mundo…

    Well, alam mo Igan Oblak…i’m NOT against kung sino ang iproklama ng Kongreso, but my only concern e kailangan ang lahat ng hakbangin na may kinalaman sa kinabukasan ng ating bansa e dapat legal hahat.

    May lesson na tayo sa EDSA DOS con Hello Garci…at alam nating lahat kung sinu-sino ang accountable dito, ngayon, ang punto ko at mga Eraptians e dapat idaan sa legal na proseso ang lahat.

    Bakit nagmamadali ang mga Yellow wannabees at lalo na ang mga bystanders na Noypi…ang liwanag ng isyu, WAIT sa finale ng proklamasyon ng Kongreso…so, tapos ang usapan.

    Demokrasya mga Igan, di natin masisisi kung mayroong magsihirit about Hocus-PCOS kasi nga Demokrasya di ba…sa madaling salita, walang pang proklamado kung sino ang panalong Pangulo.

    Ok, granted…base at ayon sa Comelec at PPCRV e si Noynoy ang leading, WALA KAMING PROBLEMA diyan…ang sa amin e antayin ang final counting ng Kongreso, yon lang!

    E, bakit nagmamadali ang mga Yellow wannabees…natatakot ba sila na baka magkaroon ng electronic Garci, ngayon…kung naniniwala sila sa demokrasyong umiiral sa Pinas, dapat magtiwala sila sa mga Kinauukulan.

    Kasi nga, takot sila sa multo na kanilang pinaggagawa…di ba si gloria ang multong buhay na kanilang pinagsikapang bigyang buhay at ngayon…inis-talo sila?

    Hocus-PCOS udpate:

    Source: http://www.tribune.net.ph/

    The latest report from Maasin, Sarangani when the PCOS transmitted CoCs reported only nine votes with ER showing 616 actually voted. The PPCRV chairman of Basilan, Fr. Santiago Agoo, also reported that 20 PCOS machines that were not used because of a brownout showed receipts of transmission. These instances are proof of electronic fraud.

    Ito seryosong usapan na ito…baka sabihin na namn ng Comelec e isolated isyu ito? At hihirit na naman ang Yellow media brigades na propaganda ito ng mga talunan?

    Si Pader ang nag-ulat nito…kasi di ba kasalanan sa isang pari ang magsinungaling? Bakit po…kasi ganito yon, nitong nakaraang Holy Week e napaunlakan ang inyong abang lingkod na maging isa sa 12 apostoles na gumanap sa buong semana santa at ang isa sa di ko makakalimutang tagpo ang pangungumpisal namin sa kura-paroko na siyang gumanap na Panginoong Hesukristo.

    Heto…sa tinagal nang panahon na di ako nakapangumpisal sa Pari e talagang napatingala ako sa langit at nabulong ko sa aking sarili e ano ba ang aking ikukumpisal na nagawang kasalanan…heto nangumpisal na ako ka Pader, opppsss…secret!

    Ngayon, i do believe na ang divine authority ng Lord sa kanila e nagpapatunay na sila ang mga tapat ng lingkod ng Dios. Ibig sabihin nito upang tumugma ang aking balik-tanaw sa Semana Santa…si Pader Agoo e tapat siya sa kanyang sarili na e-report ang hocus-PCOS na ito?

    Dapat imbistigahan ito ng Kongreso or concerned authorities para mabigyan ng linaw ang isyung ito.

    Pader, isang tanong na lang. Napanood mo naman siguro ang imbestigasyon ng Kamara sa TV. Ano ang common denominator ng mga nagrereklamo na sila daw ay dinaya? Caramba! Puro mga kandidato ng administrasyon! Tinamaan ng magaling! Parang nabaligtad ata ang mundo sa isang iglap ah! Ang mga kandidato ni Gloria, dinaya? Wow! Si Erap di pa naman nagrereklamo officially di ba? Naghihintay pa ng canvassing pero yung diyaryo nya, nanunulsol lang. HIndi lang siguro napansin ni Inis na lahat pala ng nagrereklamo ay mga bata ni Gloria,maliban lang sa tatlong itlog na di naman masabi kung paano sila dinaya o kung sino ang dumaya sa kanila. Basta dinaya daw sila! Teka. . bakit di ireklamo ni Inis yung maling paliwanag ni Koala Boy na si Binay ang namili ng boto? Bakit di nila tinitira si Binay? Sang-ayon ba sila sa sinabi ni Koala Boy na si Gibo ang nanalo? A basta imbestigahan lang lahat para walang madeklarang nanalo? Sang ayon ka ba na si Goyang pa rin ang presidente sa July 1 kung wala pa ring naiproklamang nanalong presidente?Hehehehe. . . ang saya! 😛

    Ang sabi ni Erap ay tutulong sya sa bagong administrayon kung sakali at sya ay matalo (ng malinis). Pabilisin na sanang parang kidlat ang canvassing at ng mapatunayan kung tutulong nga si Erap, este kung sino ang nanalo sa kanilang dalawa ni Noynoy. 🙂

    RE: Sang ayon ka ba na si Goyang pa rin ang presidente sa July 1 kung wala pa ring naiproklamang nanalong presidente?Hehehehe. . . ang saya!

    No, no, no, nooooo…Igan Henry90, excited na ang Noypi kung sino ang panalo sa halalang ito, but we need to wait sa finale ng Kongreso kasi sila ang may kapangyarihang magdeklara who is the real winner?

    About doon sa Hocus-PCOS e aware lang ang Noypi kasi nga, may lesson na tayong lahat about Hello Garci. Dapat di na muling maulit ang bangungot ng 2004 eleksyon…till now still isyu pa ito ng legalidad ni gloria sa enchanted kingdom.

    Wait at huwag tayong magmadali…darating tayo sa proclamation ng nananalong Pangulo at VP. But, if incase na magkaroon ng isyu about sa legalidad ng botohan e karapatan ng Noypi na busisiin ito para magkaalam-alam kung mayroon ngang nangyaring Hocus-PCOS or electronic Garci?

    Ok, granted na si Noynoy ang leading sa Comelec/PPCRV na bilangan…but only Congress ang may authority to declare who’s the real winner di ba.

    Mag-antay tayo sa finale ng Kongreso…tapos ang isyu!
