False claims

Published by Ellen on July 10, 2007

Don’t believe those TV ads about your child becoming an Einstein or a Mozart by drinking formula milk.

“They are false and malicious,” said Dr. Nicholas Alipui, country representative for the Philippines of the United Nations Children Fund (Unicef), adding that no artificial product could be better than mother’s milk.

Alipui, Health Secretary Francisco Duque and breast milk advocate Innes Fernandez were at the Bulong-Pulungan at Sofitel Philippine Plaza yesterday to help us unlearn the many falsehoods that we learned from too much TV watching.

The death — and rebirth — of GO

by Adel Tamano
Spokesman of the Genuine Opposition

The following article appeared in today’s issue of the The Daily Tribune. Tamano holds Master of Laws from Harvard, Juris Doctor at the Ateneo de Manila and a Master of Public Administration, UP

Last Saturday, while in conference with Sen. Serge Osmeña and RC Constantino, the Genuine Opposition campaign managers, at the former headquarters of the GO at Manilabank in Makati City, I had a bittersweet realization: GO was now officially dead. No, this has nothing to do with the fight for the Senate presidency that has been thoroughly discussed in the media as the sign of the demise of the GO. It had everything to do with the completion of the GO’s objective as a political organization and a coalition.

Ang garantiya ni Lim kay GMA

Desperada talaga itong si Gloria Arroyo.

Sinabihan lang siya ni Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim na hindi niya papayagan na magkagulo sa Manila na siyang magiging daan sa pagpatumba sa kanya bago ang 2010 ay tuwang-tuwa na siya.

Nangyari itong pag-uusap ni Lim at Arroyo noong isang araw sa inawgurasyon ng Sentro ng karunungan sa Tondo.

Mongrel majority

Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano takes pains in explaining to friends and supporters that his support for Sen. Manny Villar for Senate president does not mean that he has abandoned his being a responsible opposition to the Arroyo administration.

“My core values (on truth and justice) remain solid,” he said.

I believe Alan and I do not regret having voted for him. But I feel sad.

Comedian itong si Apostol

Nagpapatawa naman itong si “Madame Wetness” Presidential Legal Counsel Sergio Apostol.

Sinabi ni Apostol na maari raw mapalaya si Sen. Antonio Trillanes at hindi masyadong maparusahan kung siya ay maghingi ng tawad kay Gloria Arroyo.

Ito talagang si Madame Wetness, mahilig magpapatawa.

Malacañang seeks way out of Trillanes problem

Published by Ellen on July 5, 2007

Malacañang knows there’s no way they can prevent Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV from assuming his seat in the Senate. They want to save face by asking Trillanes to apologize to the bogus president. I can’t wait to hear Trillanes’ answer.

Trillanes may get off with slap on the wrist

Senator Antonio Trillanes IV might end up with just a slap on the wrist for leading hundreds of soldiers in the 2003 Oakwood mutiny — if he agrees to plead guilty to the charges and apologize to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Protecting personal honor and dignity (2)

Published by Ellen on July 5, 2007

Last Wednesday, we ran the first part of the letter of then Lt. S/G Antonio Trillanes IV

Philippine Navy dated Aug. 8, 2003 in answer to the lies being spread by the Arroyo administration about him.

A lot of things happened in the past four years. Trillanes is now a senator although Malacañang is trying to prevent him from performing his duties to the Filipino people.

Of late, the same lies have resurfaced. Following is the other half of the letter:

According to DZMM sources, Mrs. Arroyo talked to Velarde before the May 14 elections and told him that she wanted the Estrada trial to end in a conviction.

Naghubaran na ng maskara

Published by Ellen on July 4, 2007

Ang panalo ng pito (walo kung hindi magtatagumpay ang operasyon ng Comelec laban kay Koko Pimentel) na kandidato ng Genuine Opposition para Senado ay mataginting na protesta laban kay Gloria Arroyo at ng kanyang mga kampon.

Ang gusto ng taumbayan ay ang Senado na naninindigan laban sa pagyurak ni Arroyo ng Saligang batas at mga institusyon ng bayan. Ayaw ng taumbayan na patuloy na paghari-harian ng mga kampon ni Arroyo.

Dahil may pito o walong bagong oposisyon sa Senado, akala natin maitutulak na ng mataas na kapulungan ang mga imbestigasyion tungkol sa pang-aabuso ni Arroyo at ng kanyang pamilya na hinarang o inupuuan noon ng kanyang mga alagad katulad ni Joker Arroyo.
