An insult to womanhood

| 15 Comments | No TrackBacks
I WAS shocked and aghast at Batangas Governor Armand Sanchez's comment that it would take Vilma Santos-Recto three hours to apply makeup before being able to face people. I am a married man, and I think such a comment before his loyalists and constit uents was an insult to womanhood. I couldn't believe I was hearing a politician say that in this 21st century, when there are successful women politicians all over the world. How politically incorrect! Obviously, Sanchez needs better education, and obviously he needs to apologize to Ms Santos-Recto and to everybody. Such a blow below the belt, against a woma n at that, has no place in our civilized society. -- STANLEY OLIVAR, 1511 Maxwell Lane, Vista, California, (via e-mail)

I agree. Such statement of Sanchez should never be tolerated.

I'm no Vilmanian nor a Batangas resident but this should be enough to prove tha
t at times it is even better to vote for someone who have had background in the
entertainment industry and had the initiative to get herself educated to aid h
er legislative or administrative functions than someone who makes the whole ent
ertainment revolves around himself.Enough for those elected officials who are b
etter of (or worse) than real actors.

I'm not prejudiced against actor and actresses.You just need to ask a very simp
le question to know whether she is effective or not.

What action has she done during her term as local government officials that cre
ated positive impact to her constituents. What i mean is not changing of street
names or beauty contest.But HARD evidence that under her leadership something
great had happened. I guess NONE . PLEASE tayong mga PINOY, matatlino tayo but
we don't use it. GONE are those days that we live alone in this world. GLobal
ization is not POPULARITY, it s about COMPETENCE, INTEGRITY and MAN/WOMAN OF AC
TION. If you want your livelihood to remain at its dismall condition, GO ahead
and vote without your brains.

SANCHEZ was really wrong from all angles. I was born in Cebu, I grew up in Pa
ngasinan, and I worked in Bohol. I have been to places in the Philippines, and
nbow in the world. Just try to see Lipa city and you will know what Vilma San
tos Recto did. If you are not contented, then you are free, establish a reside
ncy there and run for public office and we will see your worth!

Ms. Vilma Santos is the only actress who has been very successful in the politi
cal arena because she is diligent and her desire to learn has never halted. Sh
e is really star for all seasons not only in the film industry but also in the
new era of Philippine politics. You'll never know, someday She will be preside
nt, and why not?

The loser cried loud! No wonder Vilma Santos-Recto won the election as Governo
r of Batangas. Mr. Sanchez needs to apologize and concede to his consituents r
egarding his comments to Vilma. Batanguenos are smart people to let Sanchez g
o...Congrats to Vilma, and looking forward for President of the Philippines in
the near future!

Congratulations to you Vilma Santos. You deserve to win. But what's with the co
nstant wearing of dark sunglasses? it's rather not becoming of you. It's reall
y irritating to see a public figure ALWAYS wearing sunglasses. You have such a
beautiful and refreshing face, and your eyes always showed your inner beauty, s
how them! Or are you hiding something? Good luck!

i am no vilmanian but i like vilma for being an honest woman. Maybe she can run
for public office as a governor but not as a president. To be a president need
s a lot of knowledge and i think vilma is not knowledgeable enough to be a pres
ident. Sorry vilma but am just honest to myself. we love you as an actress and
infact, you and Miss Alma Moreno have the most beautiful face in philippine cin
emas...thank you and more power ....

hi Stanley did you happen to live at Golden City Taytay?

Corruption is now rampant in the Batangas Capitol. I work there. They use ver
y classic modus in corruption. Php 60M for medical supplies and equipment, proc
urement of which was approved without actual bidding. Recently, they purchased
tables and chairs which are not really necessary, and dumped it in the offices
, unused. Vilma Santos also asked for a blanket authority to enter into contrac
ts from the provincial board. She's asking also for a tax compromise authority!
And they want to sell the lot where Lyceum of Batangas stands at a pittance! A
pparently for a commission above the cash which will go to the provincial coffe
rs, allegedly equivalent to what will be agent's fees to Vilma. And she rarely
goes to work, max of 2x a week. She's ineffective and does not really have "ma
lasakit". what you see on TV is far from the "real" Vilma Santos. I will NEVE
R vote for her again. I pity out Province...

Bros and sisses, please don't even think of having vilma as VP or Prex!!! She'
s a trapo and nothing more! Corruption personified sya! And she's playing goo
d cop, bad cop together with her cordon sanitaire. Some of her staff are there
to take the blame for her corruption and incompetence. Paging media advocates!
!! Where are you? Why don't you expose her for the ignoramus that she is. Lah
at ng speeches nya are scripted and she's the consummate actress. Her Chief of
Staff Jun Dijan is the most hated official in the Capitol. Gun toting, obnoxio
us and corrupt casino addict. Command responsibility, the term is alien to her
.

Bros and sisses, as for Vilma Santos Recto, ask your media friends to dig deepe
r please:
1. Php60M worth of medical supplies and equipment that didnât undergo bidding,
manipulated. (some qualified bidders are now taking the case to the Ombudsman)
2. Excessive/unnecessary purchase of tables and chairs
3. Selling Lyceum at 6t/sqm when the market price is around 15t/sqm (and allege
dly getting also 6t/sqm as commission)
4. Asking the Provincial Board for a âblanket authorityâ to enter into contract
s (huh!!!)
5. Ghost deliveries of supplies at the GSO
6. releasing Php100t to a mayor from her social find but Php60t went to her âre
lativeâ as âmedical assistanceâ
7. Asking for a Tax Compromise Authority so she can âdealâ (make deals) with in
dividual delinquent taxpayers, some cash for the province and more for her pock
et.
Vilma Santos has only been there for 4 months. I dread to think what else sheâl
l do in 3 years. I will personally campaign to drop her like a hot potato for a
ny government office next elections!!! TRUE: VILMA SANTOS RECTO RECEIVED PHP500
,000 AT THE PALACE, ASK LEANDA AND CARLOS BOLILIA!!!

Vilma Santos Recto deserves her rightful position in the politics. As a Batang
ueno who has lived in there fo 40 years, I know for sure Batanguenos are straig
htforward people who do not want to beat around the bush. When they decided to
put Vilma in the office, that would only mean she possesses the right characte
r for the right people as a leader. I know Vilma has struggled in private life
before, the lessons she learned from these are enough to arm her the character
the Batanguenos have, no dilly dallying. Gov Vi, just keep up the good work..
