Wangwang

Published by Ellen on July 3, 2010

Malaman ang simpleng inaugural speech ni Pangulong Noynoy Aquino ngunit ang isang nakahagip ng interest ng taumbayan ay tungkol sa wang-wang .

Ang wang-wang ay isang instrument na nilalagay sa mga sasakyan na nagbibigyan ng kakaibang busina para hawiin ang ibang sasakyan sa kalsada para makadaan ang isang sasakyan. Ito ay para sa mga sasakyan na ang sakay ay VIP (Very Important Person) o emergency ang pangangaiilangan katulad ng ambulansya at firetrucks.

Ito ang sinabi ni P Noy: “Kayo ba ay minsan ring nalimutan ng pamahalaang inyong iniluklok sa puwesto? Ako rin. Kayo ba ay nagtiis na sa trapiko para lamang masingitan ng isang naghahari-hariang de-wangwang sa kalsada? Ako rin. Kayo ba ay sawang-sawa na sa pamahalaang sa halip na magsilbi sa taumbayan ay kailangan pa nila itong pagpasensiyahan at tiisin? Ako rin.”

At President Cory's funeral

Statement issued by James Yap:

“Kilala niyo po naman ako. Tahimik at simple lang akong tao. Tingin ko din itong lahat na issues na naglalabasan siguro dapat kami na lang mag-asawa ang mag-aayos in private. Ever since naman, never niyo akong naringgan ng kung-anu-ano tungkol sa relasyon namin ni Kris.

“Kaya konting lang ang gusto kong sabihin.

“Naniniwala ako sa kahalagahan ng pagkakaroon ng buo ang pamilya. Kaya ipaglalaban ko na mapanatiling buo ang pamilya namin ni Kris anuman ang mangyari. Alam ko walang pamilyang hindi dumaan sa ganitong pagsubok. Marami na kaming dinaanang pagsubok ni Kris before and I don’t think na ngayon pa kami susuko. Gusto ko talagang i-save ang pagsasama namin dahil syempre, may anak kami at hindi biro ang halos anim na taon naming pagsasama. Umaasa pa rin ako na darating ang tamang panahon na maaayos ang lahat.

“Marami nang lumabas na mga balita at mas pinili ko na manahimik muna bilang paggalang sa ating bagong Presidente Noynoy Aquino.

Confusion marked the implementation of the first official issuance of President Benigno Aquino III, he had to hold it for review on the first day of its implementation.

Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said Malacañang is reviewing Memorandum Circular No. 1 that declared all non-career executive service positions vacant as of June 30, 2010 June 2010, and extended the services of contractual employees whose contracts expire on 30 June 2010.

Lacierda said, there was no mistake. They just “finetuned” the language. He said it should answer the question, “Bababa na ba ako?”. He also said there are non-career officials who are not political appointees.

At the department of Foreign Affairs,where all the undersecretaries were political appointees, Undersecretaries did not report to work because they would have no official personality and they would not be authorized to sign anything.
