Sa Muntinlupa, may mobile clinic na umiikot sa mga barangay para magbigay ng serbisyo pangkalusugan. Ito ay proyekto ni Congressman Ruffy Biazon na pinasinayan sa Asian Hospital noong Sabado.

Ang Mobile Clinic ay may facilities para sa dental services. Pwedeng magpalinis at magpabunot ng ngipin. Mayroon din X-ray at Ultrasound equipment. Kaya maraming klaseng medical services ang magagawa nitong mobile clinic ni Rep. Biazon. Kasama na rin dito ang information campaign.

The case of Emy Boncodin

Published by Ellen on August 7, 2006

The acceptance of former Budget Secretary Emy Boncodin of a seat in Petron has been exploited to the hilt by Malacañang spinning it as a return to their fold. It will be recalled that Boncodin was one of the Hyatt 10, Arroyo’s cabinet members who resigned and called for her resignation last year following the expose of the Hello Garci tapes.

We know Emy is not in the best of health. She has her reasons to accept the Petron seat.

We are reproducing here her statement issued on the article that appeared in the Philippine Star. We are also reproducing the twin statements from Malacañang on her.

Supermaid factory

Published by Ellen on August 6, 2006

Gloria Arroyo’s vision for the Philippines is to turn it into one big factory of supermaids.

She unveiled this vision last Thursday in a televised roundtable discussion on the evacuation of more than 30,000 Filipinos in Lebanon, almost all of them working as domestic helpers. This was after it was reported that two Filipina maids jumped to their death from a high-story building fleeing their Lebanese masters.

A number of the returning Filipino maids had related to media their harrowing experiences with their Lebanese employers. Many of them were raped and were not paid their salaries, which were low: $200 (P10,000) a month. There was even one who was getting only $150 (P7,650) a month. They were prevented from leaving even as Israeli bombing of Lebanon intensified.

Ang zero casualty ni Gloria

Published by Ellen on August 5, 2006

Kinakarma na talaga itong si Gloria Arroyo. Ang nakakalungkot lang, taumbayan naman ang nasasakrispisyo.

Noong Huwebes, inu-utos niya na pauwiin raw ang lahat-lahat na natirang sobra 30,000 na Pilipino sa Lebanon. Kailan raw kasi “zero casualty” . Ibig sabihin, dapat walang Pilipinong mamatay doon sa Lebanon.

Habang pinaglandakan niya ang zero casualty, pumasok ang balita na dalawang Pilipina ang namatay dahil tumalon sa building para makatakas dahil ayaw sila payagan ng kanilang mga among Lebanese na umuwi kahit nagkaka-giyera na doon.

An Open Invitation to All in Commemorating and Giving Tribute to Ninoy Aquino and to All Victims of Political Killings under Arroyo Regime

“Filipinos are worth dying for” is the most famous quotation from Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino who was shot dead last August 21, 1983. Ninoy is the most prominent anti-dictatorship victim of political killings and three years after his death the first people power dismantled the Marcos dictatorship that provides a democratic space in the Philippines.

Today more than twenty years have passed and almost all what Filipinos have gained in building a democratic society has been taken away by a new tyrant government under the current Arroyo regime. As of this day 717 Filipino journalists, lawyers, church people, activists and others who works for human rights were killed.

Let’s be entertained

While Juris Soliman, chief of staff of Mike- Arroyo, was telling media that her boss and wife, Gloria, are lovey-dovey celebrating their 38th wedding anniversary last Wednesday, the combative Tulfo brothers – Ramon, Raffy, and Erwin – said in press conference that the woman Mike was romantically linked to is engaged in smuggling activities.

Mon , the eldest of the three who writes a column in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, said that his exposés on the alleged smuggling activities of Vicky Toh and her brother, Tom, had the blessings of Gloria Arroyo.

This is fun.

May tinatagong kababalaghan

Published by Ellen on August 2, 2006

Malaki sigurong anomalya ang nakatago diyan sa pera sa OWWA (Overseas Workers Welfare Agency) kaya ayaw humarap ng mga opisyal sa imbestigasyon na ginagawa ng Senado sa committee na pinamumunuan ni Sen. Jinggoy Estrada at Sen. Richard Gordon tungkol sa paglikas ng ma namimiligro na Overseas Filipino Workers.

Ang alam natin, ilang milyon niyan ay ginamit para pambayad ng Philhealth cards na pinamudmud ni Gloria Arroyo noong 2004 elections. Mukhang may iba pang milagro kaya takot silang sumipot sa Senado. Baka nga naman mabuking.

Kasi kung wala silang kasalanan ay ginamit nila ng maayos ang pera, bakit takot humarap sa mga senador. Kung mayroon dyan mga senador na gusto lang mag-grandstanding, di supalpalin nila ng katotohanan. Ang problem lang ay kung marami ngang kababalaghan na nangyari sa P8 bilyon na pera ng mga OFW.

Harassing Josie

Published by Ellen on August 1, 2006

A case against former Transportation and Communications secretary Josie Lichauco dismissed by the Ombudsman eight years ago has been resurrected by the Supreme Court.

It’s strange. Could it have something to do with the fact that Josie Lichauco is in the forefront in the search for truth in the 2004 elections and justice for the Filipino people?

Lichauco, who has an unblemished record as a public servant, is one of the complainants in the second impeachment complaint against Arroyo.

Bawal magsabi ng totoo

Published by Ellen on July 31, 2006

Pinaggalitan si Ambassador Francis Al Bichara ng Department of Foreign Affairs dahil sinabi niya na kaya mabagal ang evacuation ng mga OFW mula Lebanon dahil kinukulang sila ng pera.

Siyempre magagalit talaga ang DFA at Malacañang dahil sinabi ito ni Bichara, isang araw matapos magyabang si Gloria Arroyo sa kanyang state-of-the nation address na “May pera na… may pera tayo”.

Itong pagmamayagpag ni Arroyo na “May pera tayo” ay kasama sa kanyang propaganda na magaling siyang pangulo kaya raw “may pera na tayo.”

Philippine idol

I like ABC-5’s Philippine Idol. I like it that the judges -Ryan Cayabyab, Pilita Corrales, and Francis Magalona are natural. None of them try to…
