THAT'S what former Senate president Jovito Salonga fears.
Here's an excerpt from the Philippine Daily
Inquirer story:
MANILA, Philippines--President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyoâs decision t o call out the military to help police disband private armies, man 24-hour chec kpoints and stop political killings has prompted ex-Senate President Jovito Sal onga to warn that the May 14 elections could turn out to be as âviolent and fra udulentâ as the Marcos-era polls.
In an open letter sent Tuesday to the President through Executive S ecretary Eduardo Ermita, Salonga called on Ms Arroyo to ensure the peace and th e credibility of the midterm elections so as not to worsen current problems, in cluding the continuing killings. Salonga said Ms Arroyoâs order for more checkpoints nationwide was âwhat [the d ictator Ferdinand] Marcos also ordered in the 1969 elections, described by News week (Nov. 24, 1969) and Time (Feb. 16, 1970) as the dirtiest, most violent and most corrupt in modern Filipino history.â

The fact that former Senate President Jovito Salonga has expressed his thoughts
of equating GMA to FM is itself a proof that his opinion is not right.
During Marcos time, one cannot simply express his thoughts which are adversaria
l to the dictator without fear. Now, anybody can just speak anything without f
ear however the opinions are unfounded or basically lies.
I think that the President, who also has in mind the national security and who
is privy to intelligence data, should not let her guard down in these times whe
n the election fever is heating up, and in this world situation where terrorist
ic activities exist. If we always prevent the military from doing their jobs by
throwing raw charges at them or cast doubts on their motives, then, whom can w
e turn to?
Salonga is right. It's so obvious! Ever since that Hello Garci scandal, GMA has
done nothing but to curtail the rights of the ordinary people in order for her
to be able to stay in power. Rights which are guaranteed by the constitution.
GMA continues to trample these rights!
What is happening today is uncomparable to the Marcos's dictatorship...it is wo
rst.
We have to forgive Jovita Salonga for his comment about GMA.Due to his age fru
stration about his political ambitions, he thought his words are full wisdom bu
t in reality , it is not. His comment shows that this orientation of the curren
t situation in th Philippine is absolutely wrong. If i were you , i won;t liste
n to him. He is the same league of Nene Pimentel who knows the law and the fr
eedom of speech very well BUT IGNORANT about the daily struggle of the Filipino
s not becaue of GMA but because of their criticism that SCARE away investor th
at could have help our kababayan .
We have enough talking and younger Filipinos like real action that are genine
to help our country.
JOVITO SALONGA and NENE PIMENTEL are brilliant lawyers but their knowledge are
NO LONGER RELEVANT. There are now full of nonsense.
I concur, these people are very pessimistic. Their comments also are based on t
he popular GO mind conditioning. No has even discounted the possibility that al
l the bad things that are happennig with the opposition could be planned by the
y themselves to condition the 'masa' of how bad our the administration is? Ask
Lacson for that..he knows how tactics are done...plus the Estradas who knows ho
w to act and play with the media.
NO! Not really. Gloria Arroyo, Is worse then Marcos!!! You're comparing orange
& Lemon.
Gloria Arroyo, Bugos regime is running under martial law. Atleast Marcos, Marti
al law people knows that there is martial law. Under Gloria Arroyo, Bugos regim
e. She didn't declare martial law but as we all can see it. There is underclare
martial law. How can not be. when we all can see whats going on. Only a blind
person can't see it. Duh.....
If Gloria Arroyo, Suceeded on cheating this election she'll be in power forever
.
God forbid.
There was a man name "Duke" Cunningham an American Hero during Vietnam war know
n as the "MIG-killer". A decorated combat pilot who flew countless sorties und
er heavy fire.
Years had past, he became a U.S a congressman and unfortunetely involved in un
fair practices like "hooking up" private companies to work for the dept. of def
ense. Without searching for the lowest bit while quality remain the same. He
also received gifts. This cost him his career, he cried and apologize and out
of the congress. He's past heroic actions is not an immunity.
In the philippines even a suspect can run in the politics. Gloria or let me sa
y "Pandora" is married to you know who. Heides the god of underworld.
Hello, Monday Lesson. How can you even call her President. when she don't have
a mandate from filipino people because she only stole her title from the duly e
lected President Joseph Estrada, And she stole it again in May 10, 2004. Presid
ential election from FPJ. And you can't deny it because there is solid evidence
against her that she cheated in order to win. Hello Garci. Among other things!
Not atleast you're blind that you can't see whats going on. wake-up! so you ca
n see the truth.
In line with commander Robot's post I would like to add that we are soooooo faa
aaarrrrr away from becoming like Americans.
A highway patrol officer pulls up an obviously drunk driver. driver turns out
to be a state supreme court judge. the cop calls for his supervisor, the super
visor makes the arrest.
can we do that in the Philippines ? do we do that in the Philippines ? Very r
arely if ever.
A Miami police lieutenant is pulled over by a small Florida town traffic cop.
The lieutenant resists. He gets handcuffed and thrown into jail. Does that ha
ppen in our country ? Not on your life !
Layo pa natin, mga kabayan.
Your article on the Inquirer internet (Just saw it today) entitled âGloria anot
her Marcos?â dated 02May2007 is simply an overkill, to say the least. First, w
e are not under Martial Law, and that in itself is a huge difference. We are f
ree to air opposing views against the government.
Sadly, corruption is a given in this country so we are left to choose the lesse
r of two evils. Iâm glad to know of Fr. Panlilio running as an Independent aga
inst the quarry king and the jueteng queen. May he win.
Below is a copy of my e-mail to the Black and White movement
info@BlackNWhite-Movement.com
Your news ad today is unfair for it makes comparisons among Asian neighbors. Y
our comparison should be on the different Philippine regimes i.e. end of Marcos
regime, end of Aquino regime, end of Ramos regime, end of Estrada regime (defi
nitely a no-brainer). Thatâs why rallies to remove GMA from power donât prospe
r because GMA appears to be the best choice because sheâs the only one with the
economic mind. If ever FPJ won, then our country could be doomed. With his d
eath, then Noli de Castro will take over (who I think is limited to media knowl
edge). If GMA did cheat, generally people are ready to forgive for that reason
. She made unpopular decisions like the E-Vat but in the long run it would be
good for our country. Thatâs how discipline works, it would be difficult at fi
rst, but it becomes easier when you get used to it. The poor who join rallies
are generally paid, the rich do not join, so when the middle class join rallies
they usually amount to success.
Itâs good that opposing views are allowed for that can only mean press freedom.
Our country is rated the 2nd most dangerous for journalists after Iraq becaus
e of press freedom. So that ranking is another form of misperception.
Corruption would be difficult to address for now because of tradition. But at
least we have checks and balance to deal with them.
If fear grips because this administration intends to stay due to Charter Change
initiatives, then that can wait when a new administration takes over. The peo
ple in general are sick and tired of another impeachment complaint which appear
s to be the only purpose of the opposition.
Iâm making these comments independently to share my views.
excuse me!!! anong just like MARCOS....MASAHOL pa sya ke marcos.....my tongue i
s too sharp rt now..might as well....shes leech, shes arrogant, shes hard heade
, shes brat...SHE IS MAGNANAKAW!!!!
I don't know... I also don't like that lady in Malacañang Palace, but I respec
t her as the presidet... Kahit na ganyan siya, tumataas naman kahit kaunti econ
omy natin... Look at the peo dollar rate exchange...
Reading other people's posts kinda reminds me how the pessimism continues to gr
ow no matter how little the country improves, politically or economically. Is i
t just me or are we filipinos become so negative towards the future of the coun
try?
Plus the fact that the candidates also have relations to past politicans kinda
reminds me of something called a "monarchy." We need to infuse new people in ou
r political system, hence, a new way of thinking. Voting for them would be a wa
ste since were pretty much voting for them to continue with their family's self
interests, which some could include corruption...
None of these current politicians would get my vote, TU or go otherwise. They'r
e all talk but no action. Do I sound pessimistic yet? Hardly. Just giving my 2
cents...
We need a president that have balls!!!! Walang balls si Gloria so kailangan nya
ng manghiram sa asawa nya.... She have all the credentials to become one of the
greatest leader of all time but sinayang nya. Tumigil kana sa pandadaya and sa
na tapusin mo nalang ang term mo at huwag kanang maghangad ng parliamentary sys
tem kasi marami kananamang nakurakot diba? Mag retire kana sa Pampanga kasama n
i Lito kasi baka di nyo na malaman kung saan itatago yung mga ninakaw nyo sa ba
yan.
No, Emmauel. Tama ka! I can't agree with you more.
Pian:
Yes, You're absulotely right, We're not under martial law; But, Worse then
Martial laws; Open your eyes so that you can see exactly whats going on.
Tim:
Just be greatful you're not living in the Philippines. Because if that hap
pen in the Philippines probably the arresting officer the one going to jail.
The law in america is too far from the law in the Philippines. Here in america
people follow the rules of law; But, In the Philippines they do not follow the
law; Because we have a corrupt justice system.
As we all can see it. For example this election the police officer the one burn
ing the school house. These idiots suppose to protect the filipino people but y
et they're the one killing the people. If this is not a corrupt justice system,
I don't know what is.....
Russel De Vera:
Yes, you can say anything you want but watch out because when you turn
your back you'll be the next to be kill. By Gloria Arroyo, Corrupt AFP/PNP.
Pian,
You said "If GMA did cheat, generally people are ready to forgive for that reas
on"
My answer: Speak for yourself. The reason why there are people who marches on
the street is becasue they are forgiving her. Yeah rright, figure that out.
You said "The poor who join rallies are generally paid, the rich do not join, s
o when the middle class join rallies "
My answer: Really?!! Have you been on any of this events? Maybe you don't hav
e any television access, Is Cory Aquino poor? Ex vice pres Guingona? What abo
ut the people who created Black and White Movement?
You said: "Our country is rated the 2nd most dangerous for journalists after Ir
aq because of press freedom. So that ranking is another form of misperception."
May answer: If I may barrow and phrase popularize by public affair show in the
past HOY!!!! GISING!!!!
You said "But at least we have checks and balance to deal with them."
My answer: And where do you think this so called "check and balance" came from?
May you please name one of these personalities?
Reading the comments here, nothing tops what this Salina is writing. Oh well, t
he country is what it is right now not because of GMA but because of people lik
e Salina. Come on gal. What have you done for your country other than gripe?
Hello Lanz,
I am an ordinary Filipino and I don't feel that my rights are being curtailed b
y GMA. I enjoy free speech, earn my living decently, go to places I want to vis
it, travel anywhere I want, easily obtain my passport, buy anything legal witho
ut hassles, exercise my faith without interference, throw parties without fear,
even talk freely about GMA in the most pejorative way and still I am alive, en
joying my life. What rights of ordinary Filipinos are curtailed?
Only those who want to grab power illegally or have sinister motives deserved t
o be worried. They are using democracy to do their undemocratic plans. Come on
man, use just an iota of your common sense. Don't be jarred by your visceral ha
tred for GMA.
gloria another marcos???
no,noâ¦
GLORIA IS WORSE THAN MARCOS,
even the worst of all the Philippine presidents.
with all her âeffortsâ to maintain her position (that she claimed with all her
heart without shame),the âhello garciâ scandal, the divertion of the peopleâs a
ttention away from the burning issue of the illegitimacy of her regime through
her âCha-cha campaignâ, etc..sheâs making history, d difference: sheâs making a
history of a totally rotten administration
"Pian: Yes, Youâre absulotely right, Weâre not under martial law; But, Worse th
en Martial laws; Open your eyes so that you can see exactly whats going on. Sal

*******************************
Salina - Grossly false and inaccurate comments! I don't think you'd even be giv
en a chance to write like this, much more call a president names during the Mar
tial Law.
Gloria will never be like Marcos because she is making Marcos look like a saint
. Atleast Marcos was duly elected on his first and second term as a President u
nlike Arroyo... Marcos accomplished alot on his first term as a President i.e.
building highways and infrastracture, economic growth and atracted alot of fore
ign investment and that is why he was reelected again. I dont know if you can s
ay the same thing for Gloria. GMA's major accomplishment as a President is as f
ollows......
1. Placed the Philippines as the number 1 corrupt country in Asia.
2. Placed the Philippines number 2 in the WORLD for the killing of journalist a
nd political activist.
3. And finally, foreign poll observers said that Afganistan and Iraq conducts a
more peaceful election than the Philippines.
If Gloria will not get impeached rest assure that she will use all her powers f
or a parliamentary system. And guess who will be the Prime Minister????
Well, people who compared GMA to FM are of sick mind and ignorant of history..Y
ou are bunch of hypocrites who are distorting the truth out of political reason
s..
Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos ransacked the country to be poor than beggar after
the Philippines is second to Japan during Macapagal's term. There'sno freedom a
t all, with only 2 newspaper and TV puppet station s serving the Marcos regime.
If GMA has failures, it is because Filipinos are abusive and oppurtunists, not
disciplined and destructive..Good examples are those GO's Genuine Oppurtunists.
.
If GMA had failed, its is plainly for the reason that Filipinos eat POLITICS fo
r breakfast,lunch and dinner..Look at the japanese and chinese, look at the Ame
ricans how they build their countries??
And to all Marcos and ERAP supporters, whatever you will say and do ..HISTORY a
lready marked MARCOS as the biggest Thief and ERAP as the worst Immoral womaniz
er, gambler and Dumb president the Philippines ever had. and yOU CANNOT CHANGED
THAT forever!
To ESR,
Either you are blind or stupid. Marcos did ransack the Philippines but it took
many years in the making. Arroyo already accomplished half of that in her 6 yea
rs in office. She still has 3 years and itâs just going to get worst. Marcos wa
s duly elected 2 times before he started cheating. Estrada won by a land slide.
Arroyo did not even get elected as a President. Why do you think she is pushin
g for a Parliamentary system? Because she have more plans on corrupting the Phi
lippines and making her husband fat and happy. You said Erap is a gambler? Well
do you know why Arroyo's husband goes to Las Vegas all the time? It's not just
to watch Manny fight (which he also bets money on) but to play in the Casino's
as well. And finally, the Philippines will never have peace and a stable econo
my so as long as you got an illegitimate President sitting in Malacanang....
TO ERIC
Your comment against the administration is proof enough that weâre not under a
Marcos dictatorship for you couldnât have possibly posted that without an eleme
nt of fear during Marcosâ time.
The checks and balances Iâm referring to are: the media is free to oppose the g
overnment; whereas Senators/Congressmen seem to oppose for its own sake to gain
media mileage and free publicity.
I belong to the middle class and participated in EDSAI and II.
If Cory Aquino and Guingona rallied, well they didnât get our support. So rall
ies to remove GMA from power donât succeed.
Weâve become so divisive which I feel hampers the economic growth we all need.
Corruption has been in existence way past this administration, so you cannot er
adicate it overnight, same with poverty.
Just allow me to share with you the summary of the damages brought by the Marco
s regime in our country of which I discussed extensively in my previous post in
âMake Your Voice Heardâ
1. Disunity because now we are free to voice our opinions unlike during th
e Marcos era. In spite of our divisiveness, the economy continues to grow.
2. Constitutional amendments done during the Aquino regime which gave rise
to incompetent leaders. Otherwise, FPJ wouldnât be qualified to run and there
wouldnât be this âHello Garciâ controversy that the opposition keeps on riding
on to gain media mileage and free publicity.
These hamper the economic growth of the country. Just allow the President to c
ontinue her term and let our economy improve for I believe she is capable of ha
ndling it. If we can rise out of poverty, then we can be well educated.
You may consider this post too late but my sole purpose is for the maturity of
our voters so that come election time these points are considered in truly maki
ng wise judgments in the next election.
If you want GMA to step down because she cheated, then all politicians (except
for a few good men of course) should step down because all cheated the country
in one way or another with their empty promises.

Arroyo. I'm I right?
If you're comparing Erap to Gloria. Erap is a better person. Atleast he got the
mandate from the filipino people he didn't steal he's title. Not like Gloria A
rroyo, She stole her title from the duly elected President Joseph Estrada. And
she stole it again in May 10, 2004. Presidential election from Fernando Poe, Jr

Lets face it, Gloria Arroyo, Nothing but a bugos president of cebu. She's a thi

Arroyo defends rights record during New Zealand visit (1:30 p.m.)
WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- President Gloria Macapaga-Arroyo defended her record
on human rights during a visit Monday to New Zealand, as a lone activist in a
steel cage outside Parliament called her the "worst dictator" in the troubled n
ation's history.
Arroyo, speaking after talks with Prime Minister Helen Clark, said her country
was in "a fight to turn around a history of political violence and retribution.
"
She said recent convictions and arrests of people accused of extra-judicial kil
lings and upcoming courts-martial for military officers were signs of progress.

TO SALINA
She didnât lie. Of course you would have to defend yourself, she representing t
he country. Weâre not under a dictatorship. If we weâre, then I donât think you
can oppose the government as freely as you could now.

proven this election. So, The marjority of people SPEAK. Its time to get rid of

To ESR,
Either you are blind or stupid. Marcos did ransack the Philippines but it took
many years in the making. Arroyo already accomplished half of that in her 6 yea
rs in office. She still has 3 years and itâs just going to get worst. Marcos wa
s duly elected 2 times before he started cheating. Estrada won by a land slide.
Arroyo did not even get elected as a President. Why do you think she is pushin
g for a Parliamentary system? Because she have more plans on corrupting the Phi
lippines and making her husband fat and happy. You said Erap is a gambler? Well
do you know why Arroyoâs husband goes to Las Vegas all the time? Itâs not just
to watch Manny fight (which he also bets money on) but to play in the Casinoâs
as well. And finally, the Philippines will never have peace and a stable econo
my so as long as you got an illegitimate President sitting in Malacanangâ¦.

Ely: Atleast alam ko mayroon akong kakampi. Thank you!
The elites kick Erap, Because they were saying that his womanizer, gambler, hig
h school drop out. But my question is, What his love life got to do with anythi
ng else.? Nothing. Whatever Erap, Does, Its nobody business but his own. And wh
at his love life got to do with anything else for as long as his doing his job
he suppose too.
The reason they kick him out so that they're the one can rob the country coffer
. As the record show. They accuse him of plunder that up to date they still don
't have any evidence against him. In fact the record show that he is not guilty
of any wrong doing. Why is it he is still in jail. Gloria Arroyo, The one shou
ld be in jail for what she did. But, Because we have a corrupt justice system t
he innocent the one rotten in jail. While the guilty the one running the countr
y.
I'll say, Its time to overhaul the entire corrupt justice system. Its time to o
verhaul the entire corrupt governmen office's. Put all the guilty one in jail i
f we want a better Philippines. This is the only way.

Hello Lanz,
I am an ordinary Filipino and I donât feel that my rights are being curtailed b
y GMA. I enjoy free speech, earn my living decently, go to places I want to vis
it, travel anywhere I want, easily obtain my passport, buy anything legal witho
ut hassles, exercise my faith without interference, throw parties without fear,
even talk freely about GMA in the most pejorative way and still I am alive, en
joying my life. What rights of ordinary Filipinos are curtailed?
Only those who want to grab power illegally or have sinister motives deserved t
o be worried. They are using democracy to do their undemocratic plans. Come on
man, use just an iota of your common sense. Donât be jarred by your visceral ha
tred for GMA.

Fr; Salina
You must be one of her supporter's.
Because only the people who speak against her bugos regime the one goes to jail
if not getting kill.
TO SALINA
You're using your emotions again.
What you posted earlier that she's doing something to end the political killing
s is certainly not a lie, for indeed she is. Alangan namang sabihin niya na hi
ndi gumagana yung pagpipigil nato, edi bakit pa siya nag-State-visit?

t Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo urged ov
erseas Filipino workers (OFWs) on Tuesday to mark the country's 109th Independe
nce Day by joining the government in fighting poverty and corruption.
In Independence Day messages posted on the foreign affairs department website (
www.dfa.gov.ph), Arroyo said the new war being waged now is a campaign against
poverty and corruption.
"We are now waging another war, a campaign against poverty and corruption in ou
r country. Although you may be far from home, I know that you join our governme
nt and those you have left behind in these twin battles. And in our victory, ou
r heroes will not have died in vain," she said.
She added the country is now at the threshold of an economic miracle, with the
economy having grown by 6.9% in the first quarter of 2007, the highest in 17 ye
ars.
Arroyo said that the government will put in place the infrastructures needed to
attract more investments, create more jobs, and beat poverty, but it will need
OFWs' support.
"With your support, we will achieve a 7- to 8-percent growth rate in the next t
hree years," she said.
However, she did not outline to the OFWs how the government plans to fight corr
uption.
For his part, Romulo recalled the "historic thread" linking our forebears to ou
r country's modern-day heroes, the global overseas Filipino workers.
Romulo hailed OFWs for continuing to contribute significantly to our great task
of nation-building and development.
"And indeed at 109, the Philippines has grown deeper and deeper roots, firmly a
nchoring itself with the values of freedom, democracy, the rule of law and glob
al partnership for peace and prosperity," he said.
He also said that as an independent nation, Filipinos have shown resilience and
remained unwavering in efforts to advance the welfare of the people.
Romulo reiterated the DFA's pledge to uphold the three pillars of Philippine fo
reign policy, which include national security, economic diplomacy and assistanc
e to nationals.
"As we renew this pledge today, we also call on all Filipinos throughout the wo
rld to renew their commitment to work together in order to achieve our collecti
ve aspirations for peace, prosperity and progress," he said. - GMANews.TV
