Who did you vote for and why???

>> Can’t they wait for their relatives to
>> step down before running for the senate?

So what happened to voting for people based on their merit and track record in public service?

The Filipino voters have come of age. Intelligent,discerning.Here’s proof:

1)Unlike in previous elections,comedians, celebrities,actors did not do well in the senatorial race.

2)They did not elect Garci, Pacquiao, Pineda, and the Lapids. Thank God!

3)They voted young,idealistic candidates to the Senate.

MAbuhay and Pilipinas.

Very true of all what you’ve said. What can they do if they will win? Only vengeance and creates conflict to the steady economy. If They will win I’m sure that they will create havoc to the administration coz of there personal interest and of course they will do what it takes to take down PGMA’s administration. For the record its not true that GO candidate Cayetano, Legarda, Trillianes and other GO candidates are leading in in VISAYAS coz they are not. Specially Legarda whom she called Cebuanos are CHEATER in the last Election. No way GO wins in VISAYAS. No no no way……

On Loren:Whenever I see her, I see ambition written all over her face.

I totally agree!!!!

Then who did you vote for?? Buboy & Goma??? open your eyes people…dont be blinded by negative publicity, but instead FOCUS on their strengths and HELP them to help YOU.

although i voted for pichay and legarda, i could not help but agree with the observations!

Pichay is not a man of words.We both came from an educational instistution were he was conferred the doctor of humanities in our place in 2004.He promised to help finished the construction of the halfly finished halfly constructed college gymnasium.Three years have past and the gym is still unfinished.Pangarap niya talaga matupad ang mga pangarap niya.

1. Adrian Sison - Ang Kapatiran

2. Martin Bautista - Ang Kapatiran

3. Zosimo Paredes - Ang Kapatiran

4. Soniya Roco - because she advocates education

5. Chiz Escudero - maprinsipyo

6. Kiko Pangilinan - Liberal party, diyan ako sasali in the future

7. Noynoy Aquino - same as Kiko

8. Alan Peter Cayetano - anti-administration, maprinsipyo

9. Koko Pimentel - matalino, very able

I did not vote for Chavit because he is a known jueteng lord. The fact that he promotes himself as “boses ng probinsya” makes me worried that he may just monopolize jueteng operations in the provinces for his selfish interest.

Great blog bro, I am with you all the way on you comments; Pichay, Cayetano, et al”…..

kaw na lang sana tumakbo. problema sa pinoy daming magagaling kaya walang asenso, pagalingan. tsk tsk!

We should all celebrate with the loss of Manny Pacquiao in the election. This means our boxing hero will continue to give 100% of time for his future fights!

I totally agree with you.. I didn’t vote for any of them either for reasons same as yours..I hope many Filipinos shared the same perception

And what about Chavit Singson?

hi. I agree with you regarding the dynasty issues, that’s also my reason not to vote Pimentel, Magsaysay and the ever talkative Cayetano (putak ng putak..grrr).
Your right, I think Legarda is so ambitious, I don’t like her, too.
Trillanes is arrogant. Not a good influence. Why? others may think that leading a mutiny will make them popular and can gain votes if they will run for position in our government. And I think he runs because if he wins, he will have this what so called “Immunity” in his case. And thus he will be relieved of rebellion issued upon him.

Just my 2 cents.

There’s a couple of people amongst the GO that were good but turncoats when they realized that GMAs popularity was plunging down. They are disgusting and downright ugly people. anyways below are the people that i should never vote.

Cayetano - is just witch hunting no real achievement but bringing up issues and charges which can’t be supported. Real waste of taxpayers money.

Defensor - is young and ambitious. Has talent but your mouth is working faster than your mind. Sayang ka Dong.

Sotto, Oreta - Bumalik na lang kayo kung saan kayo galing. Waste of time thinking what to write about you guys.

Escudero - I dont see the reason why you become popular baka may gayuma. But truth is everything you said is Blah blah blah blah blah. I hope the senate will not be renamed a blah blah blah senate when youre sitting there. Circus ang mangyayari. Blah.

re legarda, i didn’t vote for her because even during college days, she was such a go-getter - ambisyosa talaga! she’d do everything to get what she wants. and, i can’t believe that someone with integrity would do a switch-to-erap stance. she should just have run as an independent instead.

i didn’t vote for chavit - he is scary! another gets-what-he-wants-at-all-costs guy. plus, it’s jueteng that has enriched him!

no comment about the rest.

i just voted for joker arroyo and kiko pangilinan and the kapatiran candidates. rest of ballot was blank. i hope cheaters didn’t use those blanks to fill in names.

This Cayetano, what will he do in the Senate? If he cannot even craft a bill to be made into law for 6 years he was in the House of Representatives, what do we expect he’ll do in the 6 years when he becomes senator?

I am meeting persons from all economic strata and all of them save for one, were saying as regards Loren Legarda that they will not vote for her. The reasons were the same. The perception that she is an oppurtunist and too ambitious for comfort.

That’s why I wonder why she topped the surveys and now the election results seem to verify the survey. Where are those or where could I find those who voted for Loren? I’m amused.

I wasn’t able to vote because I covered the elections and did not apply for local absentee voting. But there are only three people who I wanted to vote for: Zubiri, Pangilinan, and Arroyo.

Chiz Escudero is good — he is so good, he makes rubbish sound eloquent. Ugh.

My advice to Manny Pacquiao is not to distribute anymore the balato which he planned to give his district just after the Solis fight for reason that it will be an election offense, now that the election is over.

Magaling lang pala silang mamalato.

Nakakalungkot ang katotohanan na ang pulitika sa Pilipinas ay Pulitika ng Personalidad. Ano kaya kung sa susunod na eleksyon ng mga senador ang iboboto ng mga tao ay hindi ang mga personalidad kundi mga batas na gugustunin nilang maipatupad sa Pilipinas.

Ang ibig kong sabihin, Sa halip na ikampaya ng bawat Senador ang kaniyang sarili ang kanyang ikakampaya ay ang buong detalye ng mga batas na isususog niya sa Senado. Maaring magkaroon ng batas na magtatakda sa mga sa mga pahayagan na maglaan ng ilang isyu upang ilathala lahat ng panukala ng mga gustong maging Senador.

Sa araw ng eleksyon ang isusulat ng taumbayan ay ang mga pangalan ng batas na gugustuhin nilang maipatupad. Kung sino ngayon ay may-akda ng batas na may pinakmaraming tumangkilik ang dapat na umupong Senador.

Ngayon kapag sa panahon ng kanilang panunungkulan ay hindi natupad ang kahit isa sa mga batas na pinili ng taumbayan. Silang lahat ay dapat hatulan ng pinakamabigat na parusa (habambuhay na pagkakulong, pagkumpiska sa lahat ng kanilang ari-arian at ibalik sa taumbayan)

I voted for senators who can stand on what they believe. not those who would just go with the flow of the current leaders. They are there to represent us, to object and reject bad ideas and accept good ones. not just those ass licking lap dogs…
though I didnt vote for loren,but being ambitious is good. basta lang hindi tayo nakaka-apak sa iba.
dream big… coz at least even in fantasy we could do it…

Ummm. Why I didn’t vote for Pichay, Masarap yan sa linagang baboy! well pichay, can afford to spend that kind of money his rich. But, Of course after the election if he wins he just going to recover from his pork barrell. But if he lose its means that he just going to get the money somewhere else.

Cayetano, Et al. I think cayetano is good fiscalizer. I like to see him wins! I don’t have anything against DYNASTY ISSUE. For as long as they can do their job they suppose too.

Sonia Roco: You suppose to vote for a candidates because of what they can do for the country not because you like them.

Loren: She cry when the envelope was’nt open during Erap, Impeachment trial. They should let the envelope to open so the whole truth will come out. Poor Erap, His still rotten in jail for the accusation that up to date they still don’t have solid evidence against him for being corrupted.
As the record show he’s not guilty of any wrong doing.

Capt. Trillanes: You didn’t vote for him because you don’t like him. Not because you believe what his fighting for: Yes, I agree with him when he said that if he wins it would be a SLAP FOR GLORIA PIDAL.

Yes, of course its your votes, its your choice. I agree! After all only in election time that rich’s/poor’s are aqual. Every votes are important.

Si Cayetano mukhang iyakin, pareho sila ni Escudero. Walang gagawin iyan sa Senado kundi magpuputak! Tama na ang isang babaeng Cayetano sa Senado.

Then who did you vote for yesyeso? We don’t have any other choice. Not all of those you mentioned are bad.

I don’t like Pichay either. The Magdalo mutiny is not enough act for Trillanes to aim a seat in the Senate. He needs to do more. Escudero, well we need a new face in the Senate. One whose mind is still uncorrupt or “less” corrupt. Legarda, not 100% ok but better than the other candidates of course.

Singson is never an alternative. Mike Defensor is all talk. Goma and Cesar, not again. No more actors in congress please! Zubiri? Have we forgotten the Fertilizer Fund? And what has he done for Mindanao. Lozano, he is for sale! Kiram, where did he come from? Oreta, I still can’t forget the dance. A conduct unbecoming of a Senator.

In situations like these, the strategy is to vote for the lesser evils.

i’m so glad that people are finally seeing things differently! when i first found out that richard gomez and manny pacman are running for this year’s election i had a feeling that people would vote for them mainly because they are popular not because they have a good back ground of the politics. but hey, now im seeing things differently, im glad that people are voting for those who can give out their best to make Philippines a better place!

you are right on.

I think Cayetano made that screeching FG “noise” - albeit with no evidence whatsoever - to keep his name on TV long enough for people to remember because of his plans to ran for the Senate. You’re busted. I’s choose Joselito Cayetano over you ANYTIME.

The same goes to Chiz E. I think Chiz’ ambitions were well in place long before he started to become a mouthpiece for some pieces of sh** in Philippine politics. Sayang ka, Chiz. It is not that we are on different sides, but you could have had more credibility to the thinking segment of the populace had you just did what Kiko Pangilinan did - stand on his own when the two sides stink.

Loren. Loren. Loren. How do you solve a problem like Loren? She was once called a political prostitute - all in the name of the ambitions that is, yes ur right, written all over her.

Trillanes? go away. we do not want arrogant troublemakers in the Senate. we want people who think.

EPS, i agree with you, pero sana Filipinos should be wise enough to vote for those candidates whose main intention is to help us Pinoys to move on.

indeed the filipinos are now discerning voters. but we are not done yet. the lead of the GO in the NCR is very frustrating i hope the visayans and the mindanaons can turn the table. the GO will be just an obstruction to the country’s growth. they promote disunity, “PLAN Co REVOLT” …..what kind of slogan is that! isn’t that insighting rebellion! ….im sorry to say that everybody is corrupt or have the tendency to be. so no matter who we vote, corruption will always be there.

TU will support our leader GMA with her projects. im TU all the way especially KIRAM, at least this will bring our muslim bros closer and more responsive to our government. except for sotto, oreta, and montano.

“The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose” - Khalil Gibran

Unconsciously we became too comfortable sitting in the laps hopelessness that we feel better thinking of worst case scenarios yet to come when we don’t even know what a day brings forth. I say let’s give the 12 winners a chance to prove our pessimisms wrong and work together for our beloved country to rise from the ashes.

How i wish all the winners of this election 2007 will served their country with honesty and integrity.. We want to be a new country with so much hope and peace.. Good luck for the candidates.. God knows who’s the best persons to represent our nation and make our country a much better one.. Godbless

Voting is just a waste of time… politician wasted a lot of chances already.

a new political revolution will be the solution in this vicious cycle.

Amen

I don’t think we should go for straight TU or straight GO. It should be a mix.

If it’s 12-0 in favor of TU, that’s bad for the country. There will be no check-and-balance and GMA will be all-powerful. It’s true she cheated in the 2004 national election. And we shouldn’t let that go. I already cannot stomach having a cheat as President, how much more having 12 more who would connive with her anytime.

If it’s 12-0 in favor of GO, that’s also bad. There will be no unity and we will see political mudslinging all our life with the Senate always opposing the president.

I hope for a mix win.

It would be good for Pichay if he will not win in this election so that he will have no chance of getting back his “investments” from the government at the expense of the Filipinos.

I just hope the lesser evil wins

hahaha… i voted for young and aggressive candidates.. for sure they can make a lot of difference in crafting laws for the betterment of our country.

i voted for kiko, joker, villar….

i voted for cayetano because he has the guts to face the wall… the Jose Pidal…

i voted for chiz because he is the one whom spearheading in opposing the railroading of the basic law of the land… against Pichay and Villafuerte…et al… a well know administration supporter… just to accomodate their self vested interest…. hahahaha

i voted for mike defensor… because he is from the visayas.. he was only force to defend GMA because he was in the cabinet.. but he is a good man.

i voted for trillanes… he is a soldier who fight enemy of the state….. at dahil sa mga corrupt na mga senior officers in uniform… kaya nagkaroon ng mutiny…..mga ordinaryong sundalo ang kawawa sa field… of which trillanes as a junior officer knows a lot… dahil na-assign sya sa giyera… naliligo sa umuulang bala… mas mabuti nga ang sumusunod sa chain of command kung may ginagawa ang nasa itaas… pero mas palagi kasing binubusalan ang katotohanan…and all of us are sad about it….

all in all i voted with my conscience….sino yung nararapat.

but i also regret to note na ilan pa rin sa ating kababayan ay ipinagbibili ang kanilang boto….ng 100, 150, to 1000 pesos per vote………. kailan kaya tayo matuto..

Sa taga Comelec…. magtrabaho naman kayo pagkatapos ng election… sana sa 2010 ma-materialized na yung computerization ng election…

marami tayong mga young and talented IT’s here in our country. for sure pwede silang i-tap… pwera na lang kung yung mga commissioner ay gusto pang magka kickbacks or magka-pera……..kaya sorry tayo mga pinoy…. else palitan na lahat ng mga bad eggs sa comelec… siguro si chairman abalos….. oras na para magretiro…. kasi typical example… yung ginawa ni house speaker (devilnicia)…. issuing issurance card sa mga tao…. (supporter kuno) …. tell it to the marines…. palusot lang yun… at nakalusot or pinalusot naman sa comelec…. hahhahhahahahahahaha…. so walang vote buying….. ano say nyo dito….. people talaga……..

moreover i salute those teachers who sacrifice for the election……..

see you on 2010 national election…… sana computerized na on that day ang election

TU, naku nakakasulasasok

I agree with what you have observed and written. I am one of those who have not voted, not because i don’t care, but because i am making a statement. I was enraged at GO’s propaganda blaming corruption and poverty in the current government or administration when they are also a part of it… aren’t most of them currently occupying position in the government? aren’t most of them reelectionist? and i am not equally satisfied at TU’s choices of people to entrust governance of our country. Unless politician put respect in the office and position they are running, i will refuse to cast my vote. Meanwhile, i will stay in the mainstream of society, working with and for the poorest people…

to the winning senatorial candidates, please just keep in mind that you are there for the country and not for your own personal agenda.

Please, please, please…the filipinos are pleading. please do take your responsibilities seriously and honestly…for our beloved country. I hope you consider this country your beloved, too.

May God bless those who promotes the common good!

Cheers to our leaders!

i agree with you..voters are more intelligent now compared before. PPCRV needs help this coming 2010 election para turuan lalo ang ating mga botante kung sino ang kanilang iboboto lalo na dito sa mindanao. Iilang pamilya lang ang me hawak sa iisang lugar at kontrolado nila lahat mula sa ekonomiya, pulis, edukasyon at kalusugan ng taong bayan. Me gustong magtangka pero kinabukasan nawawala o kaya umaalis na lang para di madsgrasya…To PPCRC, we salute you…you are the real heroes during election….

Monday Lesson: Good question, When Gloria Arroyo, Kick Erap because she said she can do better to run the country. But look where we’re today! The philippines is going under and you’re all going with it.

Amen!
As a friend had written “Cayetano is a trapo in the making”. But it looks like his “tactic” is working … people remember his antics in front of the tv camera that’s why he’s winning.
I also believe Honasan & Trillanes are winning in Metro Manila only. I don’t know why the Metro Manilans, esp. those in the media, idolize these kind of people.

Accept or Reject?

This election proved once again that when something is not favoring someone, a natural reaction would be to REJECT. And when something is on the aid of someone, he/she would instantly ACCEPT it.

Look at how those from Administration and Opposition react to the results of Pre-Election Surveys, Media Count, and Exit Polls. Obviously, Opposition candidates are leading the Senatorial race based on the initial unofficial election results. The Administration reacts by saying that counting is not done yet. COMELEC seems to be to the rescue of Team Unity because it threatened the TV Networks which will be cited for contempt if they continue with their quick counts. From the time the partial unofficial results were shown by the media, in which majority of Genuine Opposition candidates are in the “Magic 12″, the opposition are more than glad to know of such result.

Why don’t both camps exchange position and let us see if they’ll be singing the same tune?

I believe and strongly suggest para mabago ang lahat we should ammend our government systems lalo na ang mga batas, I will agree on a parliamentary system para mabawasan ang mga naka upo or else mas maganda na siguro kung lulubog ang buong pilipinas sa dagat at aangat na lang ulit para mahugasan, “Total Reset” ang kailangan.
Peace

I think we need to have a public site wherein voting records of the SENATORS are published. This way we would be able to gauge how the new senators will fare. This has been the advocacy of Joker Arroyo, and I think this should made to reality. Not only for the Senators but also Congressmen. Look at Loren Legarda, she was against the opening of the Jose Velarde account, was against Erap, look at her now. We people need to know where the Senators stand in issues important. Senators should have integrity, with the voting records made public I bet we will see how the senators or congresmen flip-flop on issues. And then on 2010 we intelligently decide whether to vote for them again or not.

sana wala ng halalan. sayang ang pera ng bayan, perang ginagastos sa mga political ads, etc. wala namang kwenta ang mga nananalo.

Go, TU, hell.. wish ko lang…

I find Alllan Cayetano so vindictive. para siyang manok na malapit ng mangitlog. “Putak ng Putak”. kahit saan, kahit kailan!!!!grrrr! Sabagay “POLITIKO” nga pala cya!

i voted for alan cayetano. the brave, the few and a no nonesense leader. the reason why philippines now has lost its glory because unrighteousness had now gripped the present system. our country badly needs leaders who are morally upright to eradicate corruption and poverty and i know alan fits into it. God Bless the Philippines!

elections over! winners will be in power and struggles for survival/profit. the end game, still the people loses! why? the governance is still for the elite it is not pro people in reality. projects as offerings to the people they always have their secret (open secret) share of the public money spent for that projects. so, whatever that be, there is no real committment of these so called public servants to help the poor.
to recall of a senator who came from a labor party, he maneuvered things so as a result the people in work force have no more security of tenure because they will all be causals/contractors/temporary workers and can be laid off at any time.
what is wrong with our politics is that it lacks the very moral fiber, it has no word of honor, to lie and mislead is glorifying! that’s how terrible politicians nowadays! but of course with very few exceptions as there are those who are really sincere, committed and God fearing who are easily overpowered by the vast majority of evil doer public servants.
if you lack money, you can never win. if you do not boast some lies/deception no one will believe you, so many things were promised only to be broken. that’s how philippine politics goes!
it seems there is no real long lasting solution to our problem. can the peoples will surface or is it maneuvered. that’s how philippine democracy is all about! i just hope i can be wrong! am i?

General elections are really a waste of time. Seriously, why not use surveys instead? They are supposedly scientific, balanced, and accurate, aren’t they? There’s no need to go through a pointless exercise where everyone has to vote, where a mere percentage from the public is representative of the entire people’s will? Let’s have 3 independent survey entities then collate the results. I don’t think this will make the country less of a democracy.

While looking at the poster slogans prior to the election like “Ipaglalaban ka!”, “Kasangga mo!”, “Kunsyensya Mo!” are all words that has been played before. But then again those “kunsyensya” are the ones that are lacking of when they have been seated in power.

I always assume that people are running for office because of “service “and that is where I base my decision for voting.

Truth of the matter is, all of this guys are running not because they want to serve but for a lot of reason which the least is genuinely serving.

All of them are corrupt in their own ways.

Question is “How much money, power and status is enough?” to focus on genuinely serving?

I believe if all people in power just reserve around 30% of their efforts to “genuine service” that could mean a lot to our future.

It’s really appalling the election count is showing Honasan and Trillanes in the Magic 12. This only means that Filipinos are short - short in memory and short-sighted. Honasan has been a senator for a long time yet he could not come up with bills to support whatever ideals and moral standards he wants happening in this country. Instead, we have to put up with his obsessive compulsion to overthrow the government over and over again. Trillanes is Honasan’s “Mini-Me” and a hypocrite as well. While he was sympathizing with the soldiers being underpaid, under-supplied and under-everything, in the Oakwood mutiny, he was also receiving income from a car business he was running full-time which he did not disclose. If that’s not hypocritical, I don’t know what is. So here we are again, voting sinister and ego-maniacal individuals into our government when their violent tendencies are already a given. What happens when they don’t get their way in the senate? Chaos, bloodshed, military rule? Have we become so short-sighted to not see these possibly happening? I take those people who voted for Honasan and Trillanes as not taking our country and future seriously. Shame on you!

Hello, Visaya:

Just to let you know visaya din ako.
I guess you like what Gloria Arroyo, Doing to this country. If so you deserve whatever you’re getting. But huwag mo naman idamay ang iba lalo ng there is plenty of filipino people nagugutom. Ever since this bugos President of cebu come to power. Aside from that there is lots of filipino people getting kill. And the only reason they can’t solve the killing because most of the killing is done by the AFP/PNP. Just hope and pray you won’t be the next to get kill.

Gloria Arroyo, Keep saying that under her bugos regime the economic is rosy, If it is true why is it most of filipino people are hungry? That is because Gloria Arroyo, say anything to make her look good. How can you even believe what she say when she already been proven to be the number one liar. If you believe what she’s saying then you’re stupid then she is….

>> I did not vote for Alan Peter Cayetano. >> Every time I hear him, he always attacks.
–
attacks are acceptable if there is something to attack. “Check and balance”.

louise 107 says:
>>This only means that Filipinos are short - >>short in memory and short-sighted.
–
please do remember, we are still pinoys.

—

think of this, if we will just say “yes master” or “opo panginoon”, what will happen to us? i think its fine to have someone sitting there at the senate who will not just say “opo panginoon” but also think before saying “opo panginoon”.

Lahat ng paghihirap na nararanasan natin ngayon ay dahil sa dalawang bagay. Una, kayabangan! Kayabangan ni Manuel L. Quezon nung humingi siya ng kayabangan sa kamay ng mga amerikano. Pangalawa, kabobohan! Kabobohan sa pagpili ng mga inihahalal na opisyal ng gobyerno. Juan Dela Cruz kailan ka magigising? Hay! Hangga’t may mga nananalong Jinggoy Estrada, Lito Lapid, Honasan, at Trillanes ‘di na tayo dapat pang umasa na may nasisilip pa tayong progreso sa ating Inang Bayan.

i voted for

alan cayetano, chiz escudero, koko pimentel and antonio trillanes - may paninindigan, may idealism at higit sa lahat kalaban ng mapanikil na administrasyon

I agree with your point about Cayetano building a political dynasty. However, its not that he ran for the Senate while his sister was already a Senator that I find disgusting. Its that while he was defending himself in the press against the dynasty issue, his wife was running for Congress for the position that Alan Peter previously occupied. The Cayetanos are clearly a “TRAPO family” in the making.

To pinoyako: Sorry, I do not see anything unpatriotic about what I said about Filipinos having a short memory and being short-sighted. By the way, I’m a Pinoy just talking to other Pinoys so let’s not get sensitive about it. Honasan and Trillanes are on the Magic 12 list. The number of votes they got makes for generalization. How many people, including civilians, died in the Honasan-led coups between 1987 and 1989? Yes, hardly anyone remembers even while we’re constantly reminded in school and that’s what I’m saying - we have a very short memory. Dozens were killed in one coup attempt and almost a hundred in another. To me, they’re not just bloody coups but mass murders. Those deaths would have been enough to make Honasan feel remorseful for the rest of his life but no, that is not the case. He did it again when he master-minded the Oakwood mutiny not too long ago though bloodless and it’s therefore safe to conclude that his mental state is a little screwed up and he’s most certainly not to be trusted. And that’s what I’m saying that we’re short-sighted because despite history and his rabid thirst for power, we still voted for him. We’re not even worried that he’ll pull off another coup that could be bloodier than 1989 while we are in a war on terror.

I agree with you that there should be no yes-men to Gloria and Erap in the senate but rebellion which is the thing of Honasan and Trillanes is a cowardly way to say no. It’s bad for our economy and anyone who even thinks of it as heroic has little regard for our way of life. We should let the people decide for our country and not self-absorbed politicians.

Peace and God help us all.

—————————

I’m quite happy with the outcome of the count so far except for Honasan, Trillanes and Legarda. I hope Recto catches up soon. Also, I hope in 2010, our elections will be automated already.

[...] The Estradas had set a bad precedent when mother and son won simultaneous seats in the Senate. In the recent election, we saw senatoriables with kin already sitting in the Senate. That’s one the reasons why I did not vote for Alan Cayetano, Vic Magsaysay and Koko Pimentel (See my previous blog entry: http://inquirerbloggers.net/eleksyon2007/2007/05/16/why-i-did-not-vote-for-pichay-cayetano-et-al/). [...]

I guess it just shows that the people you voted for are on the other side of the fence. I think you need to pray a lot for miracles because early counting show that none of those whom you voted for are in the top 12. The only two or three that made it are re-electionist and chances are their loyalty is not within their “party” either.

I hope that Ralph Recto will make it in the final 12. He’s one big loss if ever the trend goes on until the end. The current top 12 senatoriables are quite okay for me, minus HONASAN.

i think it is not really a shame if we vote for Trillanes and Honasan for the senate…you’re a bit exaggerated for saying that or maybe you’re a pro-administration or whatever…

For me, I voted this two senatoriables because i see them as “maprinsipyo” and willing to make personal sacrifices for our country.Trillanes was right for saying that PGMA don’t have the right to remain as president because all of us knew that she won because she cheated the election…WHAT A BIG LIAR…shame on us for having such president.

I’m so happy for the partial result of the election for the senate because Trillanes and Honasan make it to the magic 12..

you’ve made your point well! To add up, chiz is the son of a former marcos loyalist and a co-executioner of corruption during that time… if he is a true fighter against corruption, he should let his parents be brought to justice… and to all Genuine Opposition senatoriables: IF ALL OF YOU ARE FIGHTING AGAINST CORRUPTION, WHY LET THE DIRTY HANDS OF ERAP RAISE YAH ALL?!!!

I think Trillanes should not be elected in the senate. Why should we elect someone who wanted to push changes through unconstitutional mean such as coup? It is such a terrible thought that now he is running to be the draftman of the system that he strongly oppose and violated. What can he possibly do to help the poor and move this country forward?…stage another media blitz and say “I hate GMA!” for the rest of his term? I believe we all have conviction, we all have principles, we all have courage, and we all want change….All we have to do is find the right method to convey our grievances that is within the bounds of law…that would be a good example of respect for democracy, and I think Trillanes has no respect for it other than his own pride/principle and what he think as right.

It really disgusts me to hear that Cayetano is winning. Ano ba ang nagawa nya sa bayan natin upang magkaroon ng karapatan para mahalal sa Senado? Mag ingay sa gitna ng micropono at mag bintang? Until now he has not proven any of those allegations. Sana naman po ang mga tao marunong kumilatis kung kelan tayo niloloko. I also thought that his timing for exposing those unproven lies against the first family has been planned to augment his popularity for his positional avarice in this election. Sana hindi sya manalo kasi we Filipinos deserve much much more better than him.

To Louise 107, I disagree with your comment regarding Honasan & Trillanes. If you remember that so many Filipinos gave their lives like Ninoy,Bonifacio, Rizal and hundreds more who fight for our freedom, dying is a part of fighting for freedom, Honasan & Trillanes are both willing to sacrifice thier lives just to obtain it. The problem in our society are the corrupt politicians and corrupt military officials. If you ask an ordinary person why he wants to be a politician or a policeman, I’ts a very simple answer, I want to get rich. I know that there are still good politicians and military personnel in our country but lets face the truth, our country is not going forward……..

Complaining against Trillanes’ unconstitutional moves? Then take a long hard look on GMAs unconstitutional methods via her abusive use of Executive Orders. E.O. 464 anyone?

Kabayan:

What unconstitutional moves are they talking about. just because capt. Trillanes, Didn’t succeed on ousting Gloria Arroyo, From her stolen power thats don’t means is uncontitutional. What the different between Capt. Trillanes, And Gloria Arroyo, Did. Gloria Arroyo, Succeeded on ther coup d’tat against the elected President Joseph Estrada. She should be in jail where she belong. Not in Malacanyang Palace.

And why is it Capt. Trillanes, is in jail for the fail coup against her. What Capt. Trillanes, Did is no different on what Gloria Arroyo, Did. And the only reason Capt. Trillanes, Getting rotten in jail because Gloria Arroyo, Knows that Capt. Trillanes, will do anything to kick her ass out from her stolen power.

gracia
i think it is not really a shame if we vote for Trillanes and Honasan for the senate…you’re a bit exaggerated for saying that or maybe you’re a pro-administration or whatever…

For me, I voted this two senatoriables because i see them as “maprinsipyo” and willing to make personal sacrifices for our country.Trillanes was right for saying that PGMA don’t have the right to remain as president because all of us knew that she won because she cheated the election…WHAT A BIG LIAR…shame on us for having such president.

******
Gracia:

Yep! Capt. Trillanes, Is right when he say that Gloria Arroyo, Don’t deserve to be in Malacanyang Palace. Because she don’t have a mandate from filipino people.

alan peter cayetano’s got a big mouth and no brains..people vote for him not because of his lawmaking skills or his capabilities as a senator but because he openly bashes the administration. Look at all his bickering about the FG. im not pro-FG but just look at what cayetano did in his stay as a public servant..nothing but a loud mouth

KC, if one gets popular because of bashing the administration; then it means that the administration is doing something seriously wrong that upsets the people.

Excerpt from Inquirer “Alan Peter Cayetano”:

http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/editorial/view_article.php?article_id=66960

… Why is the young and sometimes too voluble Cayetano in the crosshairs of the Arroyo administration? Why is his candidacy receiving intense attention from the Palace and its allies? It must be because he has angered the President’s husband, after he accused Jose Miguel Arroyo of maintaining a secret, multimillion-dollar bank account in Germany. Arroyo has even tried to have Cayetano expelled from the House, on ethics charges. To be sure, Cayetano has failed to substantiate his accusation, until, that is, election day. On May 14, the full power of his enemies was unleashed on him—indirect but compelling proof, in our view, that Cayetano, the real Cayetano, had hit close to home.

That is why Alan Peter Cayetano is the target of election fraud on a scale unseen since Ninoy Aquino and his Laban running mates were shut out in the 1978 elections. Whether he wins or loses in the official count, in reality he was elected, resoundingly, a senator of the republic…

—Amen to that—

We Filipinos should generally change our values. We have to be honest again to ourselves. This is the only way we can progress. Maski computerized of manual balloting count kung ang namamahala ay hindi trustworthy, laging ganito ang resulta ng botohan. Hindi talaga malalaman ang tutoong nanalo. Sabi nga ng mga matatanda, kapatid ng sinungaling ang magnanakaw. Kaya kapwa Pilipino, magbago na tayo at hayaang ang mga bagong bayani ang magpatakbo.
Mabuhay!!

To Nebur: It is sacrilegious and an insult to Ninoy, Rizal and Bonifacio to be compared with Honasan and Trillanes. Ninoy, Rizal and Bonifacio “fought and died fighting” for their country. It was Honasan’s men that died while he ran away and escaped from the 80s coup attempts he himself initiated that also killed innocent civilians. He also ran away and became a fugitive when he was found out the master-mind of Oakwood. Unlike Trillanes, Ninoy never asked for bail nor tried to make compromises with the government. Rizal used his pen and Ninoy himself when they took on the government. Bonifacio was at war against an occupation. We were not at war when Honasan and Trillanes took hostage of Oakwood using sophisticated guns financed by Erap. They elicited fear among the citizens and sabotaged our economy. To me, that is terroristic and not heroic. There’s just no two ways about it. The two-way is their objective - to bring down Gloria on the one hand and free Erap on the other, using the corruption in the military as an excuse. Otherwise, what was the point of Erap’s money in Oakwood? I respect your opinion, but leave our national heroes out of this. Thank you. Peace!

The corruption in the military especially before the Oakwood mutiny was not an excuse, it was a fact.

Whatever happened to Gen. Garcia who plundered tens of millions of pesos. Several years incarceration? A slap on the wrist. What is the message here?

“Oh you General Garcia you want a lot of money? Just go ahead and steal, you’ll just get several years imprisonment anyway, just don’t forget my percentage and I’ll make it as comfortable as possible. Just think of it as a two year work for a pension fund worth tens or even hundreds of millions of pesos”

Yeah right, meanwhile they’re trying to design a kangaroo court for Trillanes where the Chief of Staff would be the judge, jury and executioner.

Oh BTW, the guns used in Oakwood are what you would find in the AFP arsenal. I’m surprised they scrounged something there knowing the state of affairs of the Logcom.

I did not vote for those senatorial candidates who, in the past congress, just wanted to criticize the government. These primarily are Escudero, Trillanes and Cayetano. As lawmakers, I do not think these people will make any decent laws because they are too pre-occupied to topple our government (case in point - Escudero - virtually zero bills passed in congress except for that one that declared cityhood to some municipality).
In short these people are called anarchists. They can debate intelligently but they are not teamplayers. How can our nation move forward if our senators just bicker with the administration?

How come people consider Chiz Escudero and Alan Peter Cayetano as Maprinsipyo?

1. Cayetano - what he did to Mike Arroyo regarding the Germany accounts is called black propaganda.

2. Chiz Escudero - Zero useful bills in congress. Basically, did not delivery anything as a lawmaker. He’s just a good talker but as a doer in congress, ziltch.

How is this maprinsipyo? If their priniciple is to hate gloria, I guess that would be true. But do not try to put them in a pedestal because they are equally as hypocritical as our president as much as every popular politician in TV.

TO KABAYAN
You’re right that the people have been so upset that she cheated in the presidential election.

You have every right to vote whoever you want to vote as a citizen. Thats your right. Just like everybody else.

If Gloria Arroyo, Run the country better nobody going to trying to kick her out even though the filipino people knows that she only stole her title from the duly elected President Joseph Estrada, And she stole it again from Fernando Poe, Jr. In May 10, 2004. Presidential election.

But the filipino people see exactly whats going on. Therefore they’re not take it setting down. I thank god, for that!

Now, Maybe the Philippines can move forward. I hope! I hope and pray when the 14 congress open that these candidates going to do their job they suppose too. All of us well be in cabbage patch field pupulotin.

Kabayan: I’m glad you still remember about Carlos Garcia, The crooks in AFP this is one of the reason why OAKWOOD MUNITY happen because Capt. Trillaness, And Magdalo soldier’s can’t stomach all the corruption in AFP. Now, he’s being crucify by this crooks! But, Before the Magdalo soldier’s did the coup d’tat. They all went to Malacanyang Palace and talk to Gloria Arroyo, Hoping that she’ll solve the problem. In fact she told them she’s going to look into it. But, She didn’t.

I’m glad Capt. Trillaness, Is winning! I hope he can make a different when the 14 congress open. Sa mga kawatan. Don’t steal the votes that is belong to him. Kong hindi kayo rin ang karmahin.

Hi Pian,

I’m no FPJ fan nor a fan of actors or actresses in power UNLESS they are truly qualified to do so and if they leave showbusiness while they manage public affairs. In any case election cheating as an artform and science has attained its peak in the Philippines. The electoral system must be totally overhauled and NGOs and Watchdogs must be brought in to ensure it be free from anomalies.

There may be a hundred different reasons why some candidates must not win but among the ways to do this must NOT include the destruction of the foundation of Democracy which is our electoral system.

If indeed we do not want a masa vote for an individual, we must then help the masa understand why this is so. We must also pull out the masa from the miasma of poverty, lack of education and opportunities so that they may be brought into an environment that allows them to see the Philippine situation in a better light.

Short cuts like undermining our election system and using guns, goons, cheating and gold so that a sector of society could overpower the masa vote is not the right thing to do. If need be it should go in the right way by proper education even if it be “slower” compared to outright cheating.

I am also NOT a fan of Machiavelli. Definitely; The ends DOESN’T justify the means.

TO HILOM_OI
You just confirmed the suspicion that he will use the Senate post to cry for impeachment and nothing else. Fact is, the Senate job is purely for legislation he himself couldn’t do. So his popularity then is because, aside from his looks and articulation, his cry for impeachment. What do you recommend instead of the E-Vat?

TO KABAYAN
As you said ‘The end does not justify the means’. But the system itself is unjustified for our needs. Some greedy politicians exploit the masses.
And like what I said before, all politicians lied/cheated in one way or another with their empty promises. The thing with the GO members is they keep emphasizing on this ‘Hello Garci’ scandal while they themselves also lied/cheated. Mas masahol pa nga sila kung tutuusin. Si Loren paiyak-iyak tapos ngayon naagswitch siya sa GO. Si Chiz and Alan P all talk pero wala namang ginawa sa Kongreso. Ano ngayon ang balak nilang gawin sa Senado, e legislative ang gagawin nila don? Si Lacson naman, may very dark past. Yung 2 pumapasok, mga coup plotters.
To do:

For now the Filipino needs fiscalizers, those who go after the corrupt. Party switching is a non-issue. If the party fails to practice its ideals in truly helping the Filipino people, then the party is immaterial. What are needed are people who are principled and are willing to sacrifice all for a good overriding principle; the service of the Filipino people.

If Mr. Escudero and Cayetano in their own positions in Senate simply serves as good Blue Ribbon Committee members and hits hard against the corrupt, then that in itself is far worth than the multitude of laws being passed yet are not even properly implemented in the first place; or worse laws which are being twisted for selfish ends.

Even the Supreme Court is now very aware and even got some balls (finally) to indicate that the Department of Justice had been twisting the laws to prosecute political enemies.

TO KABAYAN
And you consider the likes of Loren, Chiz E. and Alan P. as principled? I look at them as mere opportunists, hungry for attention so they hit the First Family. I wouldn’t see them as hitting hard against the corrupt for they themselves are corrupt, like I read about Alan P.’s father (may he RIP) was involved in the BW scam.

This is funny… How come na maganda silang malagay sa blue ribbon committee if they dont know their facts.

Cayetano -> wala naman syang nagawa na law or bill na usefull sa economy natin. I remember yung isang law/amendment na napasa nya ay palitan ng name yung public schools sa Taguig (I’m 26yrs old and grew up in Taguig).

Esucder - Pity for those who voted him… nung dinudurog ng bagyo ang Bicol region nasana yung kinikilalang anak ng Bicol? nasa batasan at nag tatalak where the people of bicol need help.

NOTE:

The cover-ups of Gloria and her allies in the past starting with the midnight E.O. 464 to gag and a give a reason to arrest the two Marine officers who witness election anomalies in Lanao (now they are vindicated by what is happening in Lanao and MORE), the warrantless arrests, the suppression of freedom of speech and assembly and a whole lot more; these are the reasons which gave the Filipino people decision to vote for people who would be fiscalizers and having the courage to face up corruption. That is why the Filipino voted in such a matter for its choice in the Senate.

That is the long and short of it. This is the pulse of the people and if the Gloria administration and her allies fail to see this then they will continue to do things which will further downgrade (if that is still possible) their support from the people even more.

So those who fail to see the victory of Chiz and Cayetano in the proper light, they’ll probably never connect with the consciousness of the Filipino people.

jfreeman:

Here are my views on your opinion.

Cayetano was just waiting for the right time to jump to senate. There is opportunity with the unpopularity for GMA and there is a great number of people that he sees can catapult him in the senate. So, he started with the first gentleman’s rumored accounts. What did he get? Sympathy…that how he fooled the people. Let’s see how he will perform in Senate. I guess he will start it with allegations…I hope he proves it. If you know how to salestalk, people need not look into your achievments.

For Chiz, Bicol is such a small voting population compared to the numbers of the anti-GMA public…Why help them? He was with the batasan 5 because these are leaders of party-list groups, he can muster a lot of sure votes with it.

People cannot see that because they decision is more fanatical. What is popular is a fact.

Pretty strange phenomena, those who are pro-Gloria thinks that opposition supporters are fanatics while on the flipside pro-opposition supporters thinks those who are pro-Gloria are the fanatics.

I guess it depends on one’s point of view.

Thank, goodness YesYesYo that You did not vote for Pichay!! I hope you also did not vote for Chavit Singson.

Your perceptions of the other candidates made some sense to me. Although, in some instances, I thought that they were small things that led to big conclusions. For example, you said that Trillanes claimed that it would be a slap for PGMA if he wins while campaigning behind bars, but he applied for bail. Therefore, Trillanes is arrogant! Wow! I think I was lost somewhere with some of your logic and I think this is where most of us have a problem. We see one tiny action and proceed to a great leap of conclusion. As Filipinos, I think we can do better.

Honestly, I like this space. It gives us the chance to challenge each others’ thoughts. Very useful process in defining and redefining our truths!

Fr: Salina: Its hard to believe that this idiots in Malacanyang Palace pursue on crucifying Capt. Trillanes, When we all know in fact that Gloria Arroyo, Is guilty as hell. If they keep insisting that Capt. Trillanes, Is guilty of fail coup. Then they should throw Gloria Arroyo, Ass in jail because she succeeded on her coup d’tat against the duly elected President Joseph Estrada.

Gov’t lawyers vow to pursue coup raps vs Trillanes

06/08/2007

State prosecutors yesterday said they will proceed with the coup d’etat charges against “winning” former Navy Capt. Antonio Trillanes IV even if the Commission on Elections proclaims him senator.

Assistant Chief State Richard Anthony Fadullon maintained the position of the prosecution “has always been one, we are here not to prosecute him for his political ambitions, but because of what happened on July 27, 2003.”

“The people have spoken in the electoral process and they have elected him, but I don’t think it will be correct to say it has anything to do or that it is an affirmation that what happened last July 2003 was a correct solution or a correct methodology of how to air one’s grievances,” he said.

Trillanes and other junior officers of the so-called Magdalo group were charged with coup d’etat for the July 27, 2003 mutiny in a bid to oust the Arroyo administration.

While the government lawyer said they will not oppose the will of the people who voted for Trillanes, they will not give him preferential treatment despite his “change in stature.”

Before you open your big mounth, Check your fact.

Gloria Arroyo, Give plenty of money to cebu because cebueno give her one million votes over FPJ. The one million votes that they stole! Right now, She’s doing the same thing. Before election time she told all the people in province whoever give the TU 12 to zero. They all receive lots of money from government coffer. If that is not buying, I don’t know what is.

this is one of the reason why in MAGUINDANAO the TU won 12 to 0 because they cheated. So that they all can receive the money Gloria Arroyo, Promise them. Now, They’re cooking all the votes in mindanao because they want Capt. Trillanes, To loss!
It doesn’t matter if Capt. Trillanes, Loss Just look how many people who voted for him because they believe on what he is fighting for: That to get rid of Gloria Arroyo,. As we speak! Gloria Arroyo, Et al. Moving heaven & earth to make him loss!

MANILA, Philippines — The rift in the opposition in the Senate has broken wide open.

Sen. Panfilo Lacson on Tuesday demanded that fellow opposition Senators Manuel Villar, Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada, Alan Peter Cayetano and Francis Escudero explain why they decided to hook up with the Senate coalition dominated by administration senators.
