Fe Zamora’s story “Inside story: Hyatt 10 vs Kamag-anak Inc.” has elicited two columns from Conrad de Quiros. Conrad’s columns also elicited reaction from John Nery, which elicited another reaction from Conrad.
I’m wondering, where is Noynoy Aquino in all these conflicting operations within his campaign?
I’m providing the links to all the articles. Have a glimpse of the Aquino presidency.
Remember the incident related by JJ Domingo, a student of international relations in Japan last month when his mother, also based in Japan, came home to attend his sister’s graduation and to seek second opinion of Filipino doctors on her cancer?
To recall, Mrs. Domingo went a friend named Janet who lives in a slum area in Tandang Sora, Quezon City to collect money owed her because she needs money for her medication. She was accompanied by a friend, Maximo Gabriel.
JJ related, “Just when my mother and Gabriel were about to leave Janet’s place, two plain-clothed policemen- one called Allan and another named Mar Palic- approached them, accusing them of drug possession. My mother and her friends aghastly denied this, and before the two cops could search them they showed their bags to the police officers and emptied their pockets to show that there was nothing incriminating inside. Still, the cops ‘invited’ them for questioning.”

Is The Firm making a comeback?
Former Solicitor General Francisco Chavez Monday assailed what he said were attempts by members of The Firm, a law office formerly associated with the First Couple, to return to the corridors of power with the impending inauguration of the Aquino presidency.
Chavez said that former Defense Secretary Avelino “Nonong” Cruz Jr. was eyeing the post of justice secretary while former Ombudsman Simeon Marcelo wanted to become a member of the Judicial and Bar Council.
Ngayon na sila na ang mga nasa-kapangyarihan ang isang dapat pag-ingatan ng mga nagsuporta kay Noynoy Aquino ay ang makitid na paningin . Na ang tingin sa mundo ay puti lang at itim.
Na kapag kasama ka nila, ikaw ay puti, walang kasalanan at pupunta ka sa langit. Kung ikaw naman ay hindi sa kanila, sumuporta ka kay Manny Villar, Joseph Estrada, Gilbert Teodoro at iba pang kandidato ikaw ay alagad ng kadiliman at pupunta ka sa impyerno.
Sana hindi nila uulitin ang ginawa ni Cory Aquino noong 1986 na lahat na nasilayan nina Marcos ay masama at pinagtatangal sa trabaho kahit ang magagaling. Nasa Department of Foreign Affairs ako na-assign noon at nakita ko ang mga magagaling na katulad nina Amb. Rodolfo Severino ay tinuligsa nina Heherzon Alvarez dahil yun daw ang nagdedepensa kay Marcos sa embassy ng nagpu-portesta sila sa Washingon D.C.
It looks like there would be no boring moments in the Noynoy Aquino presidency.
This early, fireworks are starting to be lighted in the controversy of Gloria Arroyo’s appointment of Renato Corona as Supreme Court chief justice succeeding Reynato Puno who retired today.
Aquino’s adviser, Avelino “Nonong” Cruz, who was also Arroyo’s chief legal adviser until he fell out of grace when he disagreed with her attempts to change the Constitution for her to stay in power forever, told the president-in-waiting to void the Corona’s appointment just what Arroyo’s father , President Diosdado Macapagal, did to the midnight appointments of his predecessor, Carlos Garcia.

Hindi ako nababahala sa away ng iba’t-ibang grupo na sumuporta kay Noynoy Aquino, ang susunod na pangulo ng Pilipinas.
Maganda yan para sa demokrasya. Sila mismo magbabantayan at taumbayan ang makikinabang.
Nabulgar itong iringan dahil sa mahigpit na laban sa pagka bise-presidente nina Mar Roxas ng Liberal party at Jejomar Binay ng Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino.
Lumabas na meron palang mga grupo sa loob ng organisasyun ni Noynoy na ang kanilang kinakampanya ay Noy-Bi (Noynoy Aquino para president at Binay para bise-presidente).

LINGAYEN, PANGASINAN, Philippines—Look who’s talking now.
A former Army general, who figured prominently in the controversial “Hello Garci” scandal in the 2004 elections, is now complaining of being cheated after losing in the congressional race in Pangasinan’s sixth district.
In a statement e-mailed to reporters, Hermogenes Esperon Jr., former chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, denounced vote-buying and the “bullying” of village voters that, he said, “altered the decision of the electorate.”
Vice Gov. Marlyn Primicias-Agabas clobbered Esperon, also former head of the Presidential Management Staff, who got 85,069 votes as against her 114,523 votes.
The Supreme Court has junked a petition filed by Jose Miguel Arroyo,husband of Gloria Arroyo, which sought to dismiss the damage suit filed against him by a group of journalists whom he hauled to court for libel.
In a minute resolution, the Supreme Court ruled that the Court of Appeals did not commit a reversible error in sustaining the ruling of Judge Zenaida Galapate Laguilles of the Regional Trial Court of Makati City, Branch 143.
Judge Galapate-Laguilles had previously denied the presidential spouse’s motion to dismiss the P12.5-million class suit. The First Gentleman cited the failure of the journalists to immediately answer the written interrogatory within the prescribed extended period.
