Tamang-tama talaga ang pagka-describe kay Gloria ng isang Malacañang in-house writer nang pumunta siya sa Boao, China noong 2004 para sa pirmahan ng ma-anomalyang kontrata ng NBN/ZTE: “Like a thief in the night”. Magnanakaw na nag-ooperasyun sa gabi.
Ngayon hatinggabi ang operasyun.
Lumalabas ngayon ang maraming “midnight” appointment na ginawa ni Gloria Arroyo. “Midnight appointment” ang tawag sa mga tinatalaga ng isang paalis na na presidente.
Does the controversial appointment of businessman Alfonso Yuchengco as ambassador to Germany have to do with the expose’ of Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano in 2006, when he was still a member of the House of Representatives , about a secret bank account of the Arroyos in HypoVereins Bank ?
Or does it have to do with Fraport AG, a German company that partnered with Philippine International Air Terminals Co. Inc. (Piatco) in building the $350 million Terminal 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport? It must be recalled that the Supreme Court under Gloria Arroyo nullified the Piatco-Fraport contract because of anomalies.
These are just some of the questions that came up as we tried to find rhyme and reason for Arroyo’s appointment of 87-year old Yuchengco to Germany with only three months left in her administration.
From a very reliable source:
Heard that the German ambassador has recommended that German government deny the request for agrément on the basis of age if such a request is ever sent.
Foreign Service officers were shocked and disgusted to learn about the letter of Gloria Arroyo to the Commission on Appointments coursed through the Office of Foreign Secretary Alberto Romulo asking for the confirmation of her nomination to Yuchengco as ambassador.
The letter, which was received by the office of Romulo, only last week, was dated March 9, 2010, two days before the 60-day ban on presidential appointments before Election Day. Many suspect that the nomination was ante-dated.

Kung sino pa ang nakakulong , yung pa ang sumipot. Ang malaya na nasa kapangyarihan ay hindi sumipot.
Ito ang nangyari sa pirmahan ng Peace Covenant para sa mapayapang eleksyon sa Sipalay, Negros Occidental noong Miyerkoles na inurganisa ng “Project HOPE (Honest, Orderly, Peaceful, Election)” na itinataguyod ng mga lider ng simbahan, Katoliko at Aglipayan at sa komunidad kasama ang Philippine National Police at ang military. Ginawa ito sa Sipalay gymnasium.
Si dating Marine Capt. Gary Alejano, miyembro ng grupong Magdalo, ay tumatakbong mayor (Independent) ng Sipalay laban kay Acting Mayor Oscar Montilla ng United Negros Alliance na naka-alyansa sa National People’s Coalition.
Si Alejano ay nakakulong ngayon sa ISAFP (Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines) sa Camp Aguinaldo habang hinaharap niya ang kaso konektado sa tinatawag na “Oakwood mutiny” noong Hulyo 2003 at Manila Peninsula siege noong Nobyembre 2008. Sa dalawang insidente nayun, nanindigan sila laban sa kurakutan at pambabastos ni Gloria Arroyo ng batas.

As calls for vigilance over possible attempts to sabotage the May 2010 elections intensify, we miss Josie Lichauco, activist for good governance.
The Concerned Citizens Movement, which Josie started with a few friends in 2005, is formulating a “People’s Contingency Plan to Counter Gloria Forever”.
Marily Orosa, CCM co-convenor said, “The issue now is not whether there will be failure of elections. That’s already a foregone conclusion. The issue is what will the people do in response to the failure?”
It was CCM that petitioned the Supreme Court to stop the Comelec – Smartmatic –Total Information Management consortium from carrying out the nationwide automation of the 2010 elections because it was never tested in a smaller scale as required by the law.
Update: Mike Arroyo’s doctor said his condition is improving. A pitcure was shown of him with Gloria Arroyo and their granddaughter and he was smiling.…
Ang balita kung sino-sino na raw ang kumaka-usap kay Philippine National Police Chief Jesus Versoza na mag-resign para mailagay na ni Gloria Arroyo bilang PNP Chief si NCR Chief Roberto Rosales.
Sana hindi magpa-pressure si Versoza dahil Disyembre 2010 pa siya dapat mag-retire.
Si Rosales ay kasama sa Class ’78 ng Philippine Military Academy na honorary member si Arroyo.
Galit kasi si Arroyo kay Versoza. Hindi dumalo si Arroyo sa graduation ceremonies ng Philippine National Police Academy noong Marso 18 sa Camp Castañeda, Silang Cavite. Sa anibersaryo naman ng Philippine Army noong Lunes,binati niya ang lahat na mga matataas na opisyal maliban kay Versoza.
