The race to Malacañang has become very tight with the top two “presidentiables” locked in a statistical tie, a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey commissioned by BusinessWorld showed.
The poll, the third conducted by the survey research institution for this newspaper, found the front-runners — senators Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” C. Aquino III and Manuel “Manny” B. Villar, Jr. — both losing ground among voters with little over two months to go before the May 10 national elections.
The cost, however, was more substantial for the Liberal Party’s Mr. Aquino, who saw his overall score cut by a substantial six points to 36%, compared to just a one percentage-point drop to 34% for the Nacionalista Party’s Mr. Villar.
Mula nang inilabas naming ang balita tungkol sa bahay ng magkapatid na Mikey at Dato Arroyo sa San Francisco, marami ang nagtatanong sa amin kung ano ang nangyari.
Marami ang naiinis na parang hanggang diyaryo lang. Wala naming nangyayari. Tuloy naman ang ligaya ng mga nagsasamantala ng kanilang posisyun sa gobyerno para sa kanilang sarili.
Kahapon, nilabas namin ang bagong impormasyun na nakuha mula sa San Francisco. Nilipat nang mga abogado ni Mikey ang bahay sa Foster City na nagkakahalaga ng $1.32 million na nasa pangalan ng kanyang asawa na si Angela Montenegro sa pangalan ng Beachway LLC noong Septyembre 18, 2009.
Bangit, the current Philippine Army chief, is a known Arroyo loyalist having been been head of the Presidential Security Group under GMA. He also had a stint as chief of the Intelligence Service.
He belongs to Class ’78 of the Philippine Military Academy, which adopted Arroyo. Class ’78 is considered the “favored” PMA class under Arroyo with a number of them in strategic positions.
Earlier, there were calls to extend until after the May 2010 elections the term of Ibrado, who is highly regarded for his professionalism unlike former AFP chief Hermogenes Esperon whose name was mentioned in the “Hello Garci” tapes which revealed the participation of the military in tampering the results of the 2004 elections in favor of Arroyo.
In a statement, Bangit said, “”I am very thankful with the decision of the commander-in-chief. More than it is an honor for me, I would like to assure the people that I will do my very best to serve the interest of this nation and the Filipino people.”

As always, “The Professional Heckler” is hilarious.
I consider this young guy the genius wit of this generation.
This horoscope for presidentiables has been going around the world through internet.In the passing frenzy, the author’s by line got deleted. He related that a relative sent this to him with a note, “Basahin mo ‘to ‘insan, nakakatawa!”
He replied, “’Insan, are u insane? Mas patawa ka! Sa aking blog nanggaling ‘yan! Tanga!”
Anyway, rather than be angered and frustrated by the lies and propaganda being spread around by candidates, enjoy with “The Professional Heckler” what he saw in the stars for the presidential candidates.

Hindi nasama sa report ng Al Jazeera ang parte ng sinabi ni “Jesse” , ang hitman ng mga Ampatuan na ngayon ay gustong mag- state witness, ang parte kung saan sinabi niya kung gaano kadikit ang mga Ampatuan kay Gloria Arroyo.
Humihingi si Jesse ng proteksyun dahil sabi niya kapag makalaya sina Ampatuan, patay siya. Sabi niya, “Hindi lang siya mapera. Malapit kay Gloria. Kapag pumunta si GMA sa Maguindanao sa bahay ng mga Ampatuan, ang tawag ni Andal Ampatuan Jr, mayor ng bayan ng Datu Unsay sa kanya ay, “Ina”. Ang tawag naman ni Arroyo kay Andal Senior ay, “Ama”.
Close talaga sila, ano.
Itong si Jesse ay bodyguard ni Datu Kanor, pinsan at best matalik na kaibigan ni mayor Andal Jr na ang palayaw ay “Unsay”, pangalan ng bayan kung saan siya ang mayor. Kasama siya doon sa masaker at sinabi niyang nambaril din siya. Hindi niya alam kung ilan ang napatay niya.

Often regarded as the greatest piano composer to ever live, Chopin was one of the greatest pianists in Paris during the Romantic Era. Frederick Chopin was born in Poland and early in his young life exhibited his gift at the piano, playing for some of the aristocratic families of Warsaw the age of six. At the age of nineteen, Chopin moved away from Poland forever, first to Vienna and then to Paris.
Chopin was readily accepted by the Parisian elite, but his demeanor and melancholic temperament was often at odds with the expectation of this circle. During his entire lifetime, Chopin gave only 30 public performances. Of his nearly 170 compositions, almost all of them are exclusively for the piano. Chopin performed most of these compositions for small private audiences. The intimate setting of these performances is significant because it is emblematic of Chopin’s music. Chopin loved soaring melodies, particularly the singing-like playing of his right hand. These melodies were not overwhelmingly ornamental, however, but minimalist and traditional. Chopin was lauded for his ability to infuse traditional forms like the sonata and the prelude (a short self contained piano piece) with intimacy and emotional intensity.
