Triallanes if he wins will send the wrong signal to people: Rebel against the government and destroy it (economically) and be elected Senator. Like Gringo who has almost brought down our country singlehandedly, we are sending the wrong message. I voted for all opposition senators except Gringo and Trillanes for the reasons stated above.

An inconvenient truth, indeed! He’s young and his idealism will do him good. But, granting that he wins, will he ever be given the chance to serve the people while incarcerated?

Trillanes is winning but the Arroyo administration is moving heaven and hell to oust him. Being a former Malacanang Press Staff in the past, I got it from insiders that Arroyo is pushing for his conviction for coup de etat even before he sits in the Senate. Of course, the first option was to kill him but the elite force asked to do it backed out, for what kind of soldier could stomach killing someone who fights for soldiers’ grievances. They should let Ebdane or Esperon do the job but they’re so yellow as their teeth they can;t skin their own cats.

i want trillanes to win because he got the characteristics to be a good leader he possesed the principles to shape the wrong doing into right. He sacrificed a lot just to folow his belief and my belief to oust the unofficial president and corrupt military leaders young people and officers care about future of our country.but our current leader doesn’t.

I agree with gerrky…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.

While I respect the opinion of the people who voted for trillanes, i beg to disagree with the reasons they gave about trillanes. for one, i am not so sure if he really had principles. better ask his mistah and the people who know him well if he is a well-principled soldier. if he has principles why then did he try to dupe other officers into joining him in the mutiny. most of the soldiers did not know that they were already staging the mutiny. maybe at the least he is a con artist par excellance.
second i am not so sure if he has courage, he maybe bullheaded but that doesnt equate to courage. if he was really courageous he should have fought within the system and tried to create the changes within it. now he is using his popularity to fulfill his ambition, to be with people like him. lastly, i did not see any of his leadership qualities during and after the oakwood mutiny, he was vociferous and nothing more. he offered no alternative at all to the present structure.
maybe our government needs drastic changes. maybe we need a revolution of the heart. but i am certain, it should not be led by opportunistic people like trillanes. should he get elected, one thing is for sure, crime does pay in our homeland.

Yes, me and my family voted for Trillanes. In fact, I even campaign for him in my own little way. You are correct in saying that 1. he has principles 2. courage 3. leadership qualities. 4. he had shown a clear determination to change the political scene in the Philippines

Trillanes is not Honasan.. They may both came from the military.. but they are different.. I do not know both of them
personally but people could see the difference between him and Honasan. Trillanes is likewise different from other candidates.

I am not anti-GMA nor pro-GMA.. I am simply a taxpayer who personally choose to vote for Trillanes.

No, I did not vote for Cayetano, he’s too talkative. Nor did I vote the so-called kamag-anak in the senate. There are others who may be a good senator and may legislate good laws other than the
kamag-anakan..

Finally, let us not crucify and judge Trillanes for the Oakwood mutiny.. we must remember that the military men were constrained to do so because of the lack of political will and because of the corruption in the government.

I am truly hoping that Trillanes will make it to the 12 senators not because i am a rebel myself but because I believe in Trillanes conviction and political will… Let us safeguard his votes.. Let him not be a victim of dagdag-bawas…

How does one qualify as senator?
What is a senator’s major task?
Is Trillanes ready for that task?
These are questions that should be answered satisfactorily by one voting sometime to the senate. . . otherwise, we shall just be putting another deadweight in what is supposed to be a hallowed place - for that is where our future is being decided.

one thing you’re forgetting is that Trillanes is a well-educated senatoriable. he is a master’s degree holder from UP’s National College for Public Administration and Governance.

and to those who said he lead a coup, he DID NOT lead a coup/ he lead a mutiny. review your Oakwood mutiny news. did he ask for the government to be overturned in that incident? no. he asked for the relief of the corrupt military brass, whose crimes he came to witness when he was researching for his thesis.

The votes for Trillanes and Honasan are peoples’ cries for change. Both have tried the bloody way but failed, and now they are threading the peaceful path by getting elected. I’m proud that I voted for these two courageous gentlemen.

Why crucify Trillanes? Crucify the 1.2m people who voted for him!! Okay, you did not vote for Trillanes, fine, but that doesn’t mean you are better than the 1.2m! Come on…away with that holier, better than you attitude.

corruption, is that the reason of trillianes. kaya siya tumakbong ng pagka senador, superiority lang ang gusto nila. walang pagbabago pag naupo siya, masisislaw parin sa pera ang mga yan at lalo pang magiging sakim sa kapangyarihan tulad ni lacson.

I’m not anti nor pro GMA. The point there is there is something wrong with the current administration that’s why there will be people (whom do you called rebels) that want it to be corrected. These people wants to have the so-called freedom, justice and equality. But they know they can’t do it in a legitimate way because as mentioned, there’s really wrong with our government (GREED is one of them for sure). To make it short, just make an anatomy with your family - your son/daughters will become a rebels in your family if you’re not doing what is supposed to be.

P.S. Any candidates that have a look on ONLINE(Internet) INDUSTRY. For example, if we have a full-featured PayPal accounts here in the Philippines, it could be a great contribution to our economy. There’s none? No worry, we can still receive $ directly even in complicated way and we won’t pay taxes. I know it’s our duty to pay taxes but it’s not worth if the govt. will have no time for it.

Zeny:

First of all I want to thank you, For voting to Capt. Trillanes, And to those who voted for him, And believe for what he is fighting for:

I’m one of these people who really work hard to help him win this election because I know he’s the only person who have the guts to stand up to this powerful bugos President of cebu. He got a good chance of winning that if Gloria Arroyo, Cheating operation will not succeed.

When Capt. Trillanes, Went to Malacanyang Palace and talk to Gloria Arroyo, About the corruption in AFP. He was hoping that she would take care the problem. Like she promies she would. But she didn’t. If she take care the problem oakwood munity will never happen.

The reason oakwood munity happen because this bugos President of cebu can’t throw these corrupt AFP.PNP. In jail where they belong because she’s one of them. Remember they’re the one protecting her ass from her stolen power. In fact instead of throwing them in jail, Gloria Arroyo promote them to higher position.

I hope and pray that Capt. Trillanes, Win this election.

Santiago Andres:

You have every right to vote whoever you think can run this country better. But you’re wrong when you said that Capt. Trillanes, Dump his own comrad to help him coup against this bugos President Gloria Arroyo. Nobody in their right mind going to help somebody wihtout knowing what they’re going to do. Not alteast they’re stupid.

If you don’t believe that Capt. Trillanes, Don’t have the guts, Then thats your opinion. Everybody have different opionion. But as you can see there is lots of filipino people voted for him because they believe on capt. Trillanes, For what he’s fighting for:

Open your eyes, So that you can see whats going on. The reason you can’t see whats going on because you choice not too. All the corruption, Killing, Under the bugos regime of Gloria Arroyo, Right under your nose.

You were saying about rosy economy, My goodness! Where have you been. What rosey, economy are you talking about. I guess you believe what Gloria Arroyo, Were saying! How can you even believe her when she already proven herself to be the nunber one liar.

When Gloria Arroyo, Said that under her bugos regime the enonomy is booming, If its true why is it most of filipino people are starving. The reason for that is because she pad her so call booming economy to make her look good. Just like she pad her votes in May 10, 2004. Presidential election. If this is not a lie I don’t know what is.

Just look what happen before election she order all her business partner to lower their prices. But now that the election is over everything going back up!
sino ang linoloko niya if is not the filipino people. I guess its okay with you, Kong habang buhay tayong lolokohin ni Gloria Arroyo, Ako hindi papayag.

Duren:

What do you think Gloria Arroyo, Did to the duly elected President Joseph Estrada, Its a coup! She succeeded her coup de’tat. Against the duly elected president of the philippines.

But you’re not saying anything about it. Why? Gloria Arroyo, Broke the law when she kick the duly elected President Joseph Estrada, From malacanyang palace. There is something wrong with you. Wake-up! Baka natutulog ka pa! You better wake-up! so that you can see the truth.

I am to hear comments from gerrky, duren and santiago andres. I don’t need to say more.

I am just happy to see Trillanes drop to 13th as we already see the true mandate of the people! Seeing Zubiri and Pimentel moving to top 12 just reminds us that the Philippines is not Luzon country. Both candidates hails from the south, thus as most south votes are counted we will see them there. The dark horse could be Recto who is an incumbent and has national visibility. Cayetano may be having sleepless nights by now, as fighting with the Administration could be costly for him in the South.

I am just sick and tired of Luzonians/ Manilans saying that the South (Vis/Min) votes are rigged if things do not go their own way. The South has the power to change the order in the elections, just as how the South propelled Gloria for the presidency.

Dr. Rico Mandy:

Of course that is not your real name.
Because I don’t know anybody by that name in Malacanyang Palace as you say you’re an insider.

Either you’re Capt. Trillanes, Supporter or not and you know that they’re going to do something bad, Are you just going to set and let them do it. If so, Din talagang wala ng pagasa pa ang atin bayan.

I believe what you say that if Capt. Trillanes, Going to win they’re going to have him kill. If they won’t succeed on their cheating operation. Thats their last option. When that happen, Do you think the filipino people going to take it sitting down? Gloria Arroyo, Might just find herself to the cabbage patch field. If I were her, She better think again.

Ernie:

Answer to your question. Yes, If Capt. Trillanes, Win this election he can serve the filipino people from his jail cell.

Gerrky:

You’re wrong! When you said that if he wins it will give a wrong signal. Capt. Trillanes, Didn’t destroy the philippines economy. Gloria Arroyo, Did. And thats the truth. And just to let you know my entire faily voted straight opposition, Capt. Trillanes, is number one! Thank you, For voting opposition.

Courage???? Again and again I read about courage. Courage???? He holed himselfup in a hotel full of civilians including newborns and infants. Remember the shot on ABS-CBN when the hostages came out? Very small kids taken hostage by a not so brave big man. What is the courage in taking unarmed civilians and use them as human shields? Why did he not attempt to take over some barracks or Camp Crame? Ah, of course, the people there would have shot back. This shows how much courage this candidate has.

trillanes led a mutiny because he cant take anymore the likes of general carlos garcia in which he amassed millions of the funds in afp. period.

I voted for Trillanes because of the reasons stated above. Also, I believe that the only one who can meet a bully head-on is one who knows how to handle one. Or at least, someone who tried.

And no, reforms in the military cannot be started from within. We have high-ranked generals who will make sure that no amount of reforms will ever circumvent their money-source.

If you want constitutional thing you end up to nothing. If you are in the position or the in the power you have all the rights, if you are rich you all the rights to do, if you are poor like us you end up into jail and waiting for justice which is the justice in Philippines is only for the rich.
God Bless Filipinos

How can we expect the Philippines to move forward if many educated, supposed to be principled Filipinos can vote for a person like Trillanes. I have nothing personal against the guy. He has charisma, his gripes were and still are legitimate. But what would happen to our country if every officer in the military who has legitimate reasons to complain stages a coup and run for public office?

If Trillanes were man enough and really has principles as most of his voters insist, then, why did he not resign from the military and pursue his crusade for good government within the legal means? His case is similar to Honasan who used his charisma to hoodwink comrades in arms to rise up against Cory. We know that after the 1989 coup, the Philippines never recovered again under Cory when prior to that the economy was doing well.

I would give my firm handshakes to the NPAs who fight the government without salary. This Trillanes is a traitor to his oath and the principles of the military because he wants to enjoy the perks that his uniform brings but destroy the same institution from which side his bread is buttered.

If a good man like our blogger finds principles radiating from the aura of Trillanes, then, I would say, our country is indeed going to the dogs. Must every man with legitimate causes just can take up arms and rise up against the government?

Oh well, and we still expect the country to progress huh? Please Mr. Blogger, stop telling that GMA cheated. During the 2004 elections both sides cheated not in their personal capacities but their minions in the field. Pray tell me, how come, almost everyone is convinced that the GO won based on the exit polls and the running polls of SWS & Pulse Asia? Didn’t these two entities also proclaimed in 2004 during their running surveys and exit polls that GMA was way ahead of FPJ going to the election day and was 10% ahead of FPJ in the exit polls?

Let us not becloud our thinking by our hatred and aversion to GMA and her government.

Trillanes is one of the guys who I want to become a senator. I admire his courage, and his leadership. The Philipines now need a leader like him who has the guts and principle. Discard all those trapo they are menace to the society. I remember when I was one an activist who really wanted change and we did the same thing … stand out and declare our disagreement with the government. Please guard his votes.

Principles sometimes doesnt give good results…. Just like “Rebelion” and stuff.. trillanes and Honasan keeps on Organizing…. It has bad implication to our economy…. Filipino’s are risk takers… Ohh Well!

[...] Eleksyon 2007 Blog: An ‘Inconvenient Truth’ (or, Why Trillanes could win) [...]

I think its sad that many Filipinos still believe in such gimmicks. When will we ever learn? Most of the GO candidates have been in the senate for a long time now, and what did they do? nothing, now they promise to help the poor, again? How could they help? Another coup perhaps…. People power….. sad isnt it?

Trillanes, whatever good you think he has done is a mutineer. His insubordination cannot and should not be overlooked. He is a soldier/seaman who has led other to mutiny. If that is the leadership skills you seek then you get what you vote for. He never even had the guts to see the mutiny through instead used the lack of peoples support for his cause. Well if the voting count is done and he wins, then it will have proved him a liar that he said he never had the support of the people. That he never saw the mutiny through is cowardice. That deals with the courage part. No soldier in his right mind or ethics will ever follow an officer like him. Not me. Principle is an easy thing to say that you have. When he mutineed, broke his oath. There goes his principle to be justified by a new one. That takes care of your leadership qualities. The left has been critical of all administration after Marcos including the supposedly mandated Erap. Which is so confusing since the same leftist nutcases that ousted him can now be seen together with his supporters to oust GMA. Trillanes is another Gringo. Remember how you felt for Gringo Honassan when he first ran for the Senate? Same thing with Trillanes. Once Trillanes steps into power, more power than a LT-SG could ever have, he’ll go the same way and fall in love with the money. Because he’ll have to compromise between his benefactors and his principles and the money that comes in between.

its wrong to say that trillanes may not be included in the magic 12 because the adminstration will “move heaven and hell to oust him”, let the count end.

I hope he wins, and survive any assasinations that may come. Poverty is the root of all crimes. Pag may corruptions ang gobyerno nawawalan ng pera to promote livelihood, agrarian reforms, etc. so hindi umaasenso ang buhay ng pilipino. I hope a true Leader like him wins. Sorry andres santiago you are out of line, you don’t make any sense at all, ! what bullheaded doesn’t equate to courage? hey help me hear. his fellow soldier doesn’t know about it??? What are you talking about.???

A lot of people wanted to leave our homeland merely because of poverty, but there is a clear rationale why people like me decided to migrate. We are tired of Philippine politics, the way politician manipulates the system. There are no longer a political lobby- just personal interest and the interest of people around them. We are tired of people coming from the military like Ramos, Lim, Honasan and now Trillanes? I tell you the truth, for us no longer live in our country have the same sentiments in regards to politics. You will see more Filipinos filling their application to different embassies, a clear indication that people like us had enough.
Our homeland is a lot better without military people entering politics.

Trillanes winning a Senate seat is within the realm of possibility but that could not be considered a feat. Why, even Honasan, who staged several failed coups, with some of them killing several innocent bystanders, won when he first run for senator during Ramos’ presidency. Most Filipino voters do not think critically when they vote. Those who voted for Trillanes are the same voters who voted for Erap overwhelminghly as President. Salonga did not even merit their consideration that was why he placed fifth, tailing even Imelda Marcos. Those who voted for Trillanes watched too much ABS-CBN programs where Trillanes and other opposition candidates were given much prominence (sort of free campaign ads from the network) and read much tabloids like the ABANTE. They thought they were voting for a ROUNIN character whose exploits were romanticized.

You said: “Let’s face facts. GMA cheated. GMA lied.” You’re wrong. While you’re rejoicing that Trillanes seems to be winning based on quick counts and surveys, you choose to ignore the fact that the quick counts and all the surveys just prior to the 2004 election, as well as the exit polls conducted by a firm headed by a cousin of FPJ, indicated that GMA won the election fair and square. Millions of Filipinos voted for her, and their votes should not be stolen by saying that GMA rigged the election. Whenever some people say that GMA cheated, they are the ones cheating or robbing her of her much deserved victory.

how could you fight “within” the system if it is already corrupted? Since the beginning of that mutiny, Trillanes himself, explained and insisted that what they are doing is just to air their grievances to the government who’s continually acting blind, deaf and mute to the grievances of the soldiers. What this government is projecting is a strong-willed military organization. True, but only for the senior high-ranking officials who are very well pampered by the Arroyo Administration. I personally know this because Arroyo gave the stars that my father carry on now in his shoulders. This government doesn’t know what the soldiers in the field really feels.

I could personally say that Trillanes has a lot of courage and guts to turn down his very promising military career in exchange of principles. Only a few knows this but an officer in the military, especially if someone retires as a general could get retirement benefits that sums up to a hundred million pesos or more.

When you’re really close to the president, you could end up appointed into a key government department.

For the past years,we have been longing to have an honest change in the political environment of our country in order for us to have economic and social changes as well.This means saying good bye to traditional politicians who had managed to stay in the senate not in consideration of common Filipino good but yes,in their vested interest.Trillanes’ oakwood was idealism in action.And this senatorial seat is a doable and a workable aspiration.Trillanes once said that change in his country may not happen in his lifetime.But after his capture, improsonment and trial,now he could have a chance continue his abrupted conviction and pursue the changes he,I and perhaps the so-far-one-million-two-hundred-thousand-and-counting Filipinos would want in our country.

TO ALL (YOUNG AND OLD)
Well, I know Trillanes has good intentions but he’s going above the law shows he has no respect for the system he finds corrupt but he singled out this administration. The reason for Escudero’s popularity is, apart from his looks and being articulate, is riding on the current unpopularity of the president.
Indeed we are not ready for a genuine democracy because majority of our voters are poor who rely mostly on personalities instead of issues. That’s why there’s rampant vote-buying on both camps. So it becomes a choice of the lesser of two evils. You have to prioritize the economy first which I felt GMA is most capable of doing. It is for that reason why I support her. I’ve experienced different regimes starting from Marcos. Let me just share with all of you the extent of the damage the Marcos regime inflicted on our country that will hopefully enlighten all readers. During the Marcos era our country was at some point placed under Martial Law. So that all who oppose him turned out to be heroes, injured (like Jovito Salonga), tortured, exiled or killed. So the environment then was gripped with fear. Although Martial Law was eventually lifted, Marcos remained in power so fear was still there. I remember the time when we had to watch the Aquino assassination on tape and in secret even while at home because of fear. The middle class (where I belong) participated in Edsa I. With his ouster, the media and congress became free to oppose the government. Too free in fact, that Senators/Congressmen seem to oppose for the sake of opposing to gain media mileage and free publicity. We became so divisive that would scare potential investors away. The constitution was then amended to avoid a repeat of the Marcos regime so that qualifications to run for public office were lowered that even a high school graduate can run. But this has been exploited by some who, knowing their popularity with the masses as actors/actresses, ran for public office even if they have little or no background at all on public service. Because most of our people are poor, then all forms of enticements catering to the masses were employed, like endorsements by famous celebrities and rampant vote-buying.
Our nation is respected now because we have a capable president. It is not enough to say you have a heart for the poor, for it takes more than heart to run a country.
Definitely a change in the system is required because the current system does not address our needs anymore, in fact it hampers further growth in our economy. Our democracy is unlike other countries because our country constitutes mostly poor people.
I am wary of the young new breed of oppositionists who are deemed to make it to the senate like Chiz Escudero and Alan Cayetano. I think their only agenda is impeachment and nothing else. What disturbed me is why they chose to run under the GO banner which is obviously headed by the Estrada clan with no less than the former president advocating on national television for the people to revolt against corruption he himself is facing, and its former campaign manager in the person of San Juan mayor JV Ejercito, instead of running as Independents as what Francis Pangilinan did. That in itself should have made their voters think twice about their real intents. I’ve also read that Chiz Escudero CO-AUTHORED only about 2 bills I think while Alan Peter Cayetano had none while they were in Congress. I have a feeling that young as they are, they’re already skilled at manipulating the voters for their selfish ends. Hope I’m proven wrong.
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 on the next election.. I am pleading to everyone to PLEASE let the president do her job and yours as well. Leave the investigations to the media.
If the impeachment complaint will again be about cheating, then all politicians should step down (except for a few good men of course) because they all cheated the country in one way or another with their empty promises.

To everyone, I feel it imperative to share this with all of you because I feel that not all voters are aware of the extent of the damage during the Marcos regime. It becomes easier now to share my views due to the Internet. You may amend some points but please retain the essentials and forward this to as many voters as possible. If you don’t agree with some of my points, do tell me and I will of course defend myself. For those abroad, kindly exercise your right of suffrage noting the points I raised. I feel that GMA is our best chance to turn our economy around that’s why I’m doing this now as a concerned citizen.

I also voted for Trillanes and campaigned for him, though not officially. I asked my friends and family to vote for him for the reasons stated above plus my own reason, intelligence. I respect a man with intelligence, much more with principles. I wish that he could really win, but with only 5 watchers, I’d expect his votes massively shaved and him being dropped in the top 12. I pray that he would win which shows that the people (and the youth vote) shows what the vote of the people is all about.

About the courage of trillanes, if he knows on what he believes is right he should pursue on that oakwood mutiny even if it would cost his life, and not the other way around of surrendering to the present government that I think has lost its credebility, the moral to govern, and the support of our countrymen. Sad to say, it seems like hopeless our government runs by the very same person that only thinking of themselves and not for the country or the people that they fooled by giving promises during election like this. We need change and in order to have that we must have a leader that is willing to take the risk even if it would cost his life but trillanes and company lost that opportunity. Changes cannot be achieved on the senate.

Look at all the idealist, the nationalist back in the day. Where are they now? I hope he rots in jail for we won’t need him to make our lives better. He is nothing but a paranoid imbecile who thinks that people are there to get him. You people should hear him speak. His statistics paper should have gotten an F for effort.

much as i agree with what has been positively said about Trillanes, i would have to concede to the idea that a vote for him sends all the wrong singnals.

it might be that he’s courageous, it might be that he’s principled and that his battle against corruption in the military serves us all for the better, it might be that the layers upon layers of corruption has to bear a percentage of blame on why he’s in jail, but there’s no denying the fact that he’s in hot water, to say the least, for something that he did.

but for all it’s worth, with all that is right and wrong in Philippine politics, i just hope that WHEN he wins, he’ll make a dent for the better.

I dont know what goes in to the head of filipinos? why vote a person who doest reconize our laws? who doesnt know anything (just to oust GMA). Do you think that mutiny helps? Thousand of Filipinos didint went to work becuase of those unwanted incident. Thousand of filipinos lost their income becuase of that mutiny even a fishball vendor in Makati where broke that time becuase of that mutiny. Please tell us how he can help this dying country.

This administration is already destroying the economy because she cheated her way to become the president of our beloved country. Trillanes is only rebelling against an illegal government and the generals who staged their own coup through cheating the people. So what is the wrong signal being sent by electing Trillanes?

We are sending the correct and rightful signal that this administration should be ousted and prosecuted for their crimes against the people.

no one is perfect, but at least trillanes is more credible and honest than pichay & defensor.

Trillanes is my guy! Actually I voted for entire GO slate. GMA doesn’t deserve to stay further in Malacanang, she didn’t win any elections anyways. Ang kapal talaga!!!!

Am not a voter but even if i am I will never place a position for either Trillanes or Gringo on my voters slip.There are so many candidates I could make a choice from and deserve to be in an office to run for the country but not this two who can’t think better, not even a slightest bit, for the country that this two says they loved “kono”. They almost have destroyed the Philippine’s credibility and nearly brought it to the brink just when it is coming out above water for the world to see. Everybody wanted to run and become the president of the Philippines but really unable to run efficiently for the world to see and take note.Do you think this two can bring the economy to a “B” ?

I voted for Trillanes because I hate this government. I am not a rebel, and I do not consider Trillanes a rebel. But if somebody will call him a rebel, well, consider me one as well as the millions of Filipinos who voted for him. He is just a courageous man longing for change - a change that will hardly be achieved through the current election process. I really hope that he wins in this election. May God bless him.

I hope Trillanes wins. The current political system is so corrupt that we need a young idealistic revolutionary to shake things up. So what if he participated in a mutiny? I will also be a mutineer if my leaders are thieves and human rights abusers. I will be a mutineer if my commander-in-chief is a fake, someone who cheated to become a fake President. Why be a doormat like most of our kababayans. Inaapi, Inaabuso at isaapakan na ang mukha tatawa-tawa pa.

what trillanes did in oakwood, he did it for us. in a country where diplomacy is a thing of the past, drastic measures should be taken. for the love of country he risked his life and everything that goes with it in doing what we should do fight for our rights and fight for our freedom against the tyranny of the so called arroyo administration. people like trillanes are needed in the government to initiate changes that will steer our country right on track. no matter what kind of measures are taken to initiate changes in our country my heart goes to people like trillanes! at least he had the balls to speak out when we the majority of the “masa” just stand and watch in the sidelines watching these people risk everything just to have the proper changes needed for our country because up until now we never learn from history, we still swallow the bitter pill, when will we ever change?

People are sick and tired of this administration that they have resorted in voting for the opposition. Hes winning but look closely, in a matter of minute, senators from TU will dominate the canvassing. The same corruption exists not only in the military but also in the electorate. Dont let him a victim of two evils at the same time. We need someone who will fight corruption and graft through violence or non-violence means. Its time for the country to move on.

More like an opportunista. When he was still in military ang sabi niya nilabanan daw niya ang maling sistema sa procurement ng Navy. And at the same time, kumana rin siya sa labas ng mga gawain na hindi masasabing galaw ng isang officer and a gentleman.

Ang pananalita niya habang siya ay iniinterbu ay puno ng poot at sama ng loob. And he want to be elected to oust somebody - hello but thats not the job of a senator.

You elect someone in the senate to make laws na marami ang makikinabang.

But i dont know if laws can be enacted to oust a sitting president - at kung ito ang plataforma dapat sa congresso yata siya dapat tumakbo.

So are we telling our children that it’s okay to hold people hostage and threaten to blow up a residential facility in the heart of the business district just because you have grievances to the sitting government?

People, can we JUST set aside our dislike for Gloria for once and THINK clearly? He took over Oakwood and threatened to blow it up! Are we telling our children that THAT is okay? Is there something PRINCIPLED about that?

Courage? He hid behind expats, his colleagues and the glass, steel and concerte of Oakwood. At least Honasan and his men had the gall to engage loyalist troops in combat.

If Trillianes HAD courage, then he would have resigned his commission from a military he believed was corrupt, and told a Commander in Chief he believed was even MORE corrupt his mind as a civilian exercising his Right to Free Speech. How much courage is there in hiding behind lots of guns and explosives while hurling dirt at your own Commander in Chief?

I hope those 1.2 million who voted for Trillianes are prepared for the consequences of their choice. You just effectively told our children that its okay to take EXTREME and even violent extra-constitutional means to effect change, that those who perpetrate such modes of change can be handsomely rewarded.

A vote against Gloria? Sheesh, people. So the ends justify the means now? Its okay to break the law and threaten democracy just to get rid of the little girl in the Palace?

The guy broke our laws and threatened our democracy. He should pay for it, not be rewarded for it.

How does one qualify as senator?
Big brain and a soft heart and in love talaga sa pag-usad ng Pinas.

What is a senator’s major task?
Pag gawa ng batas na makakabuti sa lahat at siguruhin na ang buwis ay nagagamit ng maayos at basbasan ng wasto ang uupo sa pwesto.

Is Trillanes ready for that task?
Heck no. Puno ng poot at galit.

i love this blog. i’ve never voted ever. i always feel like there’s no point. but if i had, i’d vote trillanes as well. oakwook “mutiny” happened on my birthday. kind of a wake up call for complacent and resilient zombies like myself. you think there is still hope? by the way, i have a theory, the yuppies born in the 70’s and 80’s don’t vote anymore. it’s the transition from developing philippines to what we are now.

i hope Trillanes is stripped from his colors when he wins. the armed forces should be nonpartisan.

Salina,

Our discussion only involves Trillanes so do not include GMA or ERAP because they are different stories. Kung tinanong mo ako kung gusto ko ba ang nangyari kay Erap at hindi ba cnungaling c GMA that would have been a different comment. And let me correct you with that, it was not coup that ousted ERAP but People power if my memory served me correct. It seems that your anger at GMA guided your voting preferences, I guess if many more people would be like you…lahat tayo pupulutin sa kangkungan. It seems that kahit sino pala basta sasalungat kay Arroyo bobotuhin mo…eh kung tanga yun katulad mo?. ano? paano na?

HONASAN AND TRILLANES HAVE A PERFECT RECORD OF (COUP) FAILURES, UNBLEMISHED WITH SUCCESS!!! HAHAHA

Those bloggers who wanted trillanes crucified are people who are already contented with what the current government is doing for the Filipinos… Glaring naman ang nangyayari sa Pilipinas ngayon at sa dinadanas ng mga Filipinos, di ba? C’mon, maawa naman kayo sa mga majority na Filipinos na hanggang ngayon tuwing may eleksyon ay naghahanap pa rin ng isang lider tulad ni Trillanes. Kasi alam ninyo NAGHAHANAP NA NGAYON NG PAGBABAGO ANG MAS NAKARARAMING MGA PILIPINO…. Bigyan ninyo ng tsansa ang mga lider na katulad ni Trillanes gaya ng pagbibigay ninyo ng tsansa sa binoto o niluklok ninyong lider na nangako NUON pero ang pangakong yun ay NAKAPAKO PA RIN NGAYON…

Kayo naman madali ninyong kalimutan ang mga kakurakutan, Fertilizer Scam, si Garci, Gen. Garcia, Espi et al sa dayaan.

As I posted earlier, Trillanes singled out this administration for corruption. You may admire his guts, but he went above the law, how can you trust him for that? I believe our disunity resulted from the Marcos regime. Let me just summarize the damages brought by the Marcos regime in our country of which I discussed extensively in my previous post:
1. Disunity because now we are free to voice our opinions unlike during the Marcos era
2. Constitutional amendments done during the Aquino regime which gave rise to incompetent leaders
These hamper the economic growth of the country. Just allow the President to continue her term and let our economy improve for I believe she is capable of handling 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 making wise judgments in the next election.

I think it was never right to stage a coup to change our constitution. I will cause more starvation and more poor people because our economy will go down with it.

And I also beg to disagree with SALINAS.
I think you are from Luzon who thinks of US people from Visayas and Mindanao are stupid enough to vote for people who are popular and never had any track record on his political job. If we had felt that Arroyo has cheated us then we would have joined the people from Luzon in you EDSA, we know who we voted for. And it Arroyo has manipulated the results of the economic figure then think of the Peso-Dollar exchange rate, peso is in its six year high, while when we were in Estrada’s time peso went down from 25-55 against the dollar.
And for all the accusations against the present government, please open up your mind that the opposition also has the capability to create these issues so that people will get more angry with the president so that he can be ousted.Wag naman kayong magpaka-bobo…and againts the human rights violations, it is clear that some party-list are fronts of the NPA and NPA is doing its job…distabilizing the government.

Proud Welfarevillian
I am to hear comments from gerrky, duren and santiago andres. I don’t need to say more.

I am just happy to see Trillanes drop to 13th as we already see the true mandate of the people! Seeing Zubiri and Pimentel moving to top 12 just reminds us that the Philippines is not Luzon country. Both candidates hails from the south, thus as most south votes are counted we will see them there. The dark horse could be Recto who is an incumbent and has national visibility. Cayetano may be having sleepless nights by now, as fighting with the Administration could be costly for him in the South.

I am just sick and tired of Luzonians/ Manilans saying that the South (Vis/Min) votes are rigged if things do not go their own way. The South has the power to change the order in the elections, just as how the South propelled Gloria for the presidency.

Proud Welfarellian:

The only way TUTA ni Gloria, Going to win is for them to cheat. Cheat big just like they did in May 10, 2004. Presidential election. And you can’t deny it because there is solid evidence against her for being the biggest crooks! Adios Mrs. Pidal.

Capt. Trillanes, For senator!

archie santos
much as i agree with what has been positively said about Trillanes, i would have to concede to the idea that a vote for him sends all the wrong singnals.

it might be that he’s courageous, it might be that he’s principled and that his battle against corruption in the military serves us all for the better, it might be that the layers upon layers of corruption has to bear a percentage of blame on why he’s in jail, but there’s no denying the fact that he’s in hot water, to say the least, for something that he did.

but for all it’s worth, with all that is right and wrong in Philippine politics, i just hope that WHEN he wins, he’ll make a dent for the better.

******

Archie Santos:

I believe on Capt. Trillanes, I believe what he’s fighting for. This is one of the reason why there is lots of filipino people voted for him. Because they believe on his fight. Lets pray for his victory! Because his fight is our fight. AGainst this bugos regime of Gloria Arroyo.

karl cadorna
what trillanes did in oakwood, he did it for us. in a country where diplomacy is a thing of the past, drastic measures should be taken. for the love of country he risked his life and everything that goes with it in doing what we should do fight for our rights and fight for our freedom against the tyranny of the so called arroyo administration. people like trillanes are needed in the government to initiate changes that will steer our country right on track. no matter what kind of measures are taken to initiate changes in our country my heart goes to people like trillanes! at least he had the balls to speak out when we the majority of the “masa” just stand and watch in the sidelines watching these people risk everything just to have the proper changes needed for our country because up until now we never learn from history, we still swallow the bitter pill, when will we ever change?

****
Karl Cordova:

What Capt. Trillanes, Did is not right but he did it because he want change, change for a better Philippines! I hope when he win this election he can make a different.

GoTrillanes
This administration is already destroying the economy because she cheated her way to become the president of our beloved country. Trillanes is only rebelling against an illegal government and the generals who staged their own coup through cheating the people. So what is the wrong signal being sent by electing Trillanes?

We are sending the correct and rightful signal that this administration should be ousted and prosecuted for their crimes against the people.

******
Yep! the only signal Capt. Trillanes, sending to all of us is its time to unite and kick the bugos President of cebu. She don’t deserve to stay in Malacanyang Palace a min. longer!

After all she don’t have a mandate from the filipino people because 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. She’s nothing but a liar and a thief.

I voted for Trillanes because I can still recall that He fought against corruption in the Military which the Executive branch of the present administration used as its Kamay na Bakal… He was level headed as he didn’t bring his 300 soldiers into a suicide mission of do or die but he surrendered but not after getting his message across the nation… the votes of the Filipino people show that he reached them… I hope that he will not end up like the 300 Spartans against the Persians who all died, but the Gideon 300 against the Midianites who all conquered and deliver the people in Judges Chapter 6-7 of the Bible.

i hope and pary trillanes wins. Now lets put that way, he is a mutiner, so what, it was in a very good purpose, i knew he must have it on the proper way but had he been heard? none had taken for sake of the dying military personnels on the battle field.. i had my uncle died at the attack done by mnlf, he is a military with agreat vision.. to bring peace to this nation. i dont see philippine is dying.. i dont see philippine is poor.. i neither see we are all good.

i love my country, i choose trillanes to fight for the right of those family of military personnels whom the government always neglect.. san ba yung modernization nila, none, to those of you good thinkers, had you ever seen just the boots of this military mens at field, pilit pinag kakasya ang paa sa maliit at di sukat na sapatos.. ano pa kay yung modernization nila..

i hope this man i voted for will give them sanity and a little progress. maraming pulitikong manggagamit, at marami talaga ang nagpapagamit but to show to publicthat goverment had done wrong… coup plotters sila… maninira ng magandang ekonomiya… hey.. it was only on Marcos time that we had 1peso to a dollar.. ngayon maunlad ba ang tawag nyo sa current value.. mayaman kasi. they dont eat the grass we mahihirap had eaten.. there is no equal oppurtunity provided so far.. bakit.. try to read the books of public schools, was the details of economic stated in there, the most recent???? haha.. we have doctors of education and lots of you who think na kayo ang magaling cannot even see that simple illustration…

C’mon people dont ignore the call if trillanes wins, he deserves it just watch him and react to him if you dont like..

ok/..love the Philippines, wag kayong parng banyaga, commenting when you alone cannot even clean your room or practice 5S on your areas..

win or loose i voted trillanes because he too had feel what i simply had feel and he had guts to come out and fight for that little demand.. do not make my man kill by our own hand guns….
mabuhay

alam nu simply lng nMn kung bkt hanggang ngaun mga tanga parin pilipino kung bkt pati trillanes binoboto nila kc galit cla sa admin…but they didnt realize na mas alang nai2long ang estrada admin nung panahon nya …imagine no.1 corrupt president ….heheeh ONLY in the Phils….

I would like to respond to the numerous posts here by referring to statements made by some people, including Navy Lt. SG Trillanes.

A Professor from UP said [regarding the oakwood incident] “Young general officers get disillusioned with the system because they see military leaders working closely with some civilian political leaders who do not have a very good agenda in mind.”

Some may question his credibility and even taunt the method they did. I agree with a Church Leader’s (i think it was a bishop) point of view that what Lt./SG Trillanes’ group intention for the mutiny was for their grievance to be heard by the public. Like what the Church Leader said, the oakwood mutiny definitely made more impact than when one is speaking calmly and plainly declaring “the govt and the military’s top brass is corrupt”.

Around 4 M-strong Filipinos voted for him because he epitomizes the idealist in most of us. Unlike some people who let the evil of inaction consume them, this man stood against the [AFP’s} norm. We can see that 4 years of detention did not diminish this man’s bravery and conviction.

This is worth quoting…
“I could have simply given in and joined the system, enjoying the fruits of corruption. Or I could have chosen the easier path of just resigning from the service and leave the problems to be solved by the next generation. I did none of these. Instead, I chose the most difficult path of standing up for what I believed was right, moral and just. In the process, I also risked losing everything I had” –Navy Lt. SG Antonio Trillanes IV

i got myself hooked into reading these exchange of ideas until somewhere in the middle it started to numb me… filipinos, politics… everybody wants salvation for our dear old philippines and yet we can’t even stay civil with our discussions. whether or not trillanes wins is not the point of the article. neither is his principles, idealisms or whatever… the question was why the possibility came? what does it mean to the filipino? we have come to learn that elections isn’t only about the figures in the COCs (fabricated or not), but an expression of the peoples collective psyche. the reasons for our choices (or the lack thereof) characterizes our political soul and state of maturity.

i didn’t campaign for trillanes because his gripes aren’t backed by concrete political platform. but i hope he wins if only to shake the system up and put somebody with a new mind up in our legislature. yes, i am not a legalist nor a constitutionalist. and so do are majority of our fellow filipinos who have become tired of legalities which only serve to perpetuate the predicament they are in for as long as they can remember.

If you think that the oakwood mutiny is wrong.. then would you consider Edsa 2 is right? How come? Would everyone of you would also consider cheating in the election as a right thing to do so that we could have a president who is capable of raising our country’s economy to ‘B’ ?

Trillanes will win, because he has the courage, principles and most of all he was voted by silent Majority. If we take a look on the previous survey of SWS before election he was statistically below 12(from 21 to 15) but on the result of NAMFREL he was always in the 11th slot.

Latest tally shows 3.8million votes for Trillanes! It shows that millions of our countrymen believes in what he is fighting for. Let the data speak the fact. What wrong signal is being sent if he wins? Is it wrong for our people to show that they are tired of the bruhaha of the current government at its team of unity?

I wanted to share my viewpoint regarding the question. Honestly, I did not vote because I hate our government system anymore. Just think about it, our existing law is still The 1987 Constitution, and what year are we now? 2007! What my professors taught me in school about COnstitution reminds me that there are obsolete provisions or any part of the Constitution that are no longer applicable to the modern Philippines. Things happened in our beloved nation did not help for our progress. We have many lawmakers and yet what is happening now? Some of them are lawbreakers! Others are selfish and they don’t think the welfare of the people living in this democratic Philippines. I heard and knew about the Oakwood mutiny before, but does it mean that it would be a valid reason why we need to vote for Trillanes? Can he rule the country with such indecent action before the public? Do you think he can manage to make laws to make our country progressive? Why is it a big deal to vote either a candidate from GO or TU? Did our government system change when leaders were voted previously?Did we hear something good from our leaders either from the administration or the oppsoition? Do we need to have a peaceful and progressive nation? If so, why things are happening in these ways?
*****In our place, vote buying existed. Did the COMELEC do something to quit this bad action? *********
If Trillanes would win,can he lead the whole Philippines with 7,107 islands? Are you sure that people in other provinces aware of his identity? We had able eladers before but what happened to them? Philippines is still Philippines. No changes at all and it’s really disgusting that I love my country. Since I was born way back in 1980, I never felt that Philippines is a nation who had been led faithfully by our government leaders? Yet, they are paid during their terms but what has been done-projects?donations?programs? Are all these things we need? They say about for the welfare and benefit of the FILIPINO PEOPLE, but look at the Filipino people? They fluently to say WELFARE but they don’t know how to apply it.
************I’m not the only one who did not vote last may 14th election. I know there are still many others arounf this nation. If Trillanes would win, what will happen next? Think about it!

It is a fact that the people sympathize with Trillanes. Qualifying the votes is another story because there is no survey based on the Trillanes vote.

Even these blogs cannot be used by Pepe Miranda as random sampling because we all share a common characteristic apart form the labeled politically apathetic society.

So my side of the story is that a vote for Trillanes is a vote against GMA. All it tells me is that a lot of people do not like GMA.

While I agree that our criteria for selection is to choose the lesser evil, I certainly do not like the fact that public office is used for vindication of crimes. Of course I would much prefer Trillanes in to a known gambling lord in Chavit Singson. There is a long list of criminals in public office - from the Marcos era thieves to Kuratong Baleleng killers to Erap thieves to Hello Garci power-grabbers. Now how do you stop this system of having people reward these criminals with membership in their elite club!

Trillanes stood for his principles, but his way of expressing it was dangerous, illegal and expensive. My question is this - when will we have our next Trillanes and to what extent will he bring detriment to our stability?

why Trillanes will win:

1. he got strategic tv campaign commercials at the tailend of the campaign. Jamby Madrigal endorsed him (and most likely funded his campaign materials). The “highway robbery” commercial was quite effective.

2. GO dinner at his cell at the last day of the campaign, covered by media! whoever thought of that made a brilliant election move for Trillanes.

3. exit polls confirmed he will likely be in the winning list.

why he will lose:

1. Maguindanao and Lanao magic…

i am disappointed with people who voted for trillanes because he is “principled”. he is a soldier and should know grievance should be addressed to the chain of command. otherwise he should resign as a soldier. i dont know how much our country has lost because of what he did at Oakwood - the loss of faith of investors, the embarrasment in the international community, etc.. and now he wants to be part of the system that he wanted to bring down just recently. and this early he is hinting that if he loses, will he cry foul (and perhaps do yet another oakwood?) and you call that “principled”?!!!

I can’t wait for the rest of the Mindanao votes to come in so Trillanes would be out of the top 12. The guy does not have a platform, except for ousting GMA! I mean, for chrissakes! When you run for the Senate, you have to have a comprehensive platform. He doesn’t know anything about health issues, the ennvironment, and development. All he does is talk.

it’s good to have blogs like this where we can express our support not only to our country but to the people who is not afraid to risk everything just for the good of our beloved country. First of all, I am very proud to say that I am one of those more than a million who voted for Trillanes. This is because he is not like any other senatorial candidates who is willing to risk everything just to show his love and care to our country. He traded the comforts of his home for a tightly guarded jail just to show that everyone can make a change for the betterment of this country. He didn’t spent millions just to be voted as senator (like prospero pichay with more than P120M just to land a seat in the senate or mike defensor who is one hell of a liar). Who among us is willing to do our share for our country: e.g. not giving to fixers of the LTO for the speedy issuance of our licenses or exposing anomalies in the government especially if it is our job that is at stake)?? I think one of those whom I voted for can answer this with a very big YES. People who exposed anomalies in government gets jailed while those who kept mum and goes with the flow of corruption gets benefited (oscar calderon is one good example of them). My office mate even tells me that Trillanes should not win because it would encourage rebellions against the government but I guess she was wrong. It would encourage every single citizen to be responsible enough, even putting our career or even life at stake, to stand up against corrupt officials and divulge all anomalies that we see. So, for Antonio Trillanes, we are one in saying “THANK YOU” for standing up. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU…

The people have spoken, many are against the winning streak of Trillanes, yet mammoth are still counting to embed the historic victory of a young, energetic, intelligent and principled young man like him. May the present despensation of power realize and be wary of soaring dissatisfaction of the poor Filipinos. Even her kababayans in Pampanga spoke against her anointed candidates and opted for a priest to deliver from further moral and political turmoil. Why can’t she realize these manifestations of truth and clamor for change in government? Likewise, why the government use people’s money in deliberately hampering the will of the people to effect change in government in electing candidates like Trillanes et al? This may serve a call to peace loving Filipinos to rally behind the WILL of the people. The MAJORITY has spoken, let us heed the call for CHANGE! Godbless us all.

Desperate situations calls for desperate moves. If you were Trillanes what would you have done upon seeing the rampant corruption in the AFP? Make a complaint to the Chief of Staff? To the commander in chief? Hey look, Garcia was caught with this hand in the cookie jar. It took a while before they did something. That just goes to show that the system never works if the corruption is so pervasive that it makes you want to vomit.

We can never vote for someone even if his convictions are correct and strong on one hand but whose path towards this conviction is wrong. I respect those who voted for trillanes. For me however, i can never reconcile the fact that he rebelled against the government. Did it destroy GMA? No! But it did cause problems for us in the provinces. I will cite you one example without mentioning the city or place. There were 2 foreign investors ready to invest in our province. The investments would have run to about 200M. But after oakwood, they backed out. Why? One of the investors was staying in Intercon when the oakwood incident happened. He left and withdrew his plan to invest. Did GMA lose? A BIG, BIG NO! We lost not less than 1,500 jobs because of the withdrawal.

Kung ibinoto niyo si Trillanes, naisip mo ba ang mangyayari?
Concerned Citizen, huwag kang mag alala, hindi lang ikaw ang HINDI bumoto nung eleksyon,ako din!Kung talagang may magandang plano si Trillanes sa bansa, sana naisip niya bago ang mutiny na yon ang kapakanan ng mga Pilipino. My matino bang lider na hangad ang kaguluhan sa bansa? Kung babasahin niyo ang kasaysayan ng Pilipinas, mapapansin natin na marami ang mga nangyari na sinabi nilang nakapag pagising sa isipan ng sambayanang Pilipino, pero ano ang kinahinatnan? naging maunald ba ang Pilipinas sa mga pangyayari na yon?
imbis na MAGKAISA para umunlad pero ano ang ginagawa ng bawat isa lalo na ang mga lider natin na lagi lang nagkakasagutan para sa mga ilang kapakanan.
Hindi ang mga proyekto ang inaasahan natin sa mga lider, kundi and mabigyan ng magandang paraan para kumita at hindi magkandahirap sa lipunan.

Kung mananalo si Trillanes, kaya ba niyang paunlarin ang bansa? Sana yong bumoto sa kanya nakapag isip muna ng mabuti bago isulat ang pangalan niya sa balota.
Kaya ba niyang gumawa ng batas na talagang makakatulong sa bansa? Ang pagkakaalam ko, NAPAKARAMI na ng batas natin na ewan ko ba wala namang pagbabago. Tama ka COncerned citizen, hindi umuunlad ang bansa natin.

A friend send this to me. If this is how our government works, then…

There are only a few thousand soldiers, a few thousand police force, 24 senators, two hundred plus congresspeople. What are you all doing people? Take back your country, or forever be doomed! All your neighboring countries are moving upward, and yours is spiraling downward. Your system of government can not be fixed anytime soon until you people do something about it- not for your generation, but maybe for the generation to come.

Religion will not heal your political situation, because there is also an anomaly within the structure. Praying to the dead saints and prayer vigils will not take you out of your present hell. Politicians are using religion (don’t know yet Pampanga’s governor elect) to mask reality. For all I care, these folks can recite the novenas, on their knees from sunrise to sunset and wear rosary beads as necklaces, but their hearts are rotten with vested interest- their interests!

Go ahead wait til the next election and Philippines will be behind Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand. Been to these places, so I know what I’m talking about. Hundred thousands more Filipinos will die from hunger, sickness and starvation from now until the next election. PEOPLE, TAKE BACK YOUR COUNTRY…

ANG SARAP MAGING SENADOR!

Maganda rin naman ang naidudulot ng pagiging prangka ni Senador Miriam Defensor-Santiago. Ayon kay Santiago, marami ang tumatakbong Senador dahil sa laki ng budget na ibinibigay sa kanila kada buwan.

Lumalabas na P35,000 suweldo nila kada buwan ay pakitang-tao lang sa milyun-milyong budget ng bawat senador. Kada buwan ay may Fixed Monthly Budget ang bawat Senador ng humigit-kumulang P2 Milyon.

Sa opisina pa lang nila ay humigit-kumulang P500,000 ang budget nila sa Maintenance and Operating Expenses (Rental, Utilities, Supplies at Domestic Travels) at P500,000 para sa Staff at Personal expenses. Kaya para makatipid ang ibang Senador, kaunti lang ang staff na kinukuha nila. Nagtataka ka pa kung bakit mayroong mga Ghost Employee?

Bukod diyan, may P760,000 allowance pa sila kada buwan para naman sa Foreign Travel. At ang masakit pa nito, hindi na kailangan i-liquidate ang mga resibo ng mga gastusin ‘yan kundi Certification lang ang Requirement.

Heto pa, lahat sila ay Chairman ng mg Komite sa Senado. Ang Committee Chairman ay tumatanggap din ng budget na sinlaki ng tinatanggap ng mga Senador na humigit-kumulang P1 Milyon din! Hindi sila mawawalan ng Komite dahil 24 lang ang ating mga Senador at 37 naman ang Committee sa Senado. There’s food for everybody ‘ika nga! Lumalabas na doble ang kanilang benepesiyo at kita kapag sila ay nabiyayaan ng Committee Chairmanship.

Sa P200 milyon na Budget para sa Pork Barrel ng mga Senador bawat taon, awtomatikong may 10% na S.O.P. o kita ng Senador na P20 milyon. Ito ang porsiyento na ibinibigay ng mga kontratista sa mga Senador na nagbibigay sa kanila ng mga Infrastructure at Livelihood Project.

Bago matapos ang termino ng isang Senador, kumita na siya ng P100 milyon sa Pork Barrel pa lang. Yung ibang Senador mas gahaman, hindi lang 10% kundi 20 - 30% ang komisyon hinihingi sa mga kontratista.

Pansinin niyo na lang ang pagbabago ng buhay ng ilan sa ating mga Senador simula nang manungkulan sa puwesto. Kung dati ay simple lang ang kanilang pamumuhay ngayon ay nakatira na sila sa mga eksklusibong subdivision, maraming bahay sa Pilipinas at abroad at mahigit lima ang sasakyan.

Ngayon nagtataka ka pa ba kung bakit gumagastos ng daan-daang milyong piso ang mga Senador sa kampanya para sa isang posisyon na P35,000 lang ang suweldo kada buwan? Bawing-bawi pala ang gastos kapag naupo na!

ANG SARAP MAGING SENADOR ! ! !

LET THE WHOLE COUNTRY KNOW THAT ELECTION IS MORE OF PUTTING AMBITIOUS PEOPLE IN POSITION WHO ARE GREEDY IN POWER, WEALTH & PRESTIGE THAN OF PUBLIC SERVICE… ANG MASAKIT PA PERA NG BAYAN PARIN GAGAMITIN SA ELEKSYON MALUKLOK LANG ANG MGA BUWAYA SA PWESTO!!!

I voted for Escudero, noting his wit and articulence, and Trillanes because for me he projected courage and idealism. I was saddened to learn that Escudero wasn’t that active in the Congress in comparison to his being active in blasting the administration on TV. However, we cannot deny that people has been too disillusioned with the government that they will buy anyone who is vicious in opposing it. This disillussionment became so strong that it overrides better judgement (with Escudero barely authoring laws and Trillanes in prison). Let’s just see how they deliver if they actually win.

An ‘Inconvenient Truth’ (or, Why Trillanes could win)…

I don’t know whether Trillanes is a principled man. All I know is he and his group broke the law by staging a mutiny for nothing else but to get attention. He doesn’t deserve to be a Senator. Siyempre, our standards as voting citizens — as we can se…

Those who voted for Administration candidates need to re-think & evaluate
Pres Arroyo’s anomalies, she is practically a bad example to all filipinos..she lied so
many times that people are getting used to it, its a shame to have her as our President….”Every Filipinos needs to know everything about “Hello Garci Scandal”….This president is a professional cheater…….

Please dont compare former Pres. F.Marcos with Gloria Arroyo, they are miles apart….F.Marcos was a man with principle & she has none …..

To spokesman Mr Bunye……You are a master liar too…Remember Garci Tape?…you showed a fake & original CD & few days later your beloved Fake president admitted that she was the one on the other line of then comelec comissioner Garci……i can see from your face that you were lying then….you are shameless Mr. Bunye…

More power to Noynoy Aquino….

thanks for the opportunity to express my thoughts……

what trillanes did in oakwood, he did it for us. in a country where diplomacy is a thing of the past, drastic measures should be taken. for the love of country he risked his life and everything that goes with it in doing what we should do fight for our rights and fight for our freedom against the tyranny of the so called arroyo administration. people like trillanes are needed in the government to initiate changes that will steer our country right on track. no matter what kind of measures are taken to initiate changes in our country my heart goes to people like trillanes! at least he had the balls to speak out when we the majority of the “masa” just stand and watch in the sidelines watching these people risk everything just to have the proper changes needed for our country because up until now we never learn from history, we still swallow the bitter pill, when will we ever change?

Karl Cardova:

Yep! Capt. Trillanes, Stand-up! to this bugos President. Because he want change for better Philippines. Nobody going to try to do whats is right because most of filipino people are afraid to speak-up!

Because if they do they’ve in jail, Just like Capt. Trillanes. If not you’ve kill, Just because they’re speaking up for what is right and just.

If Gloria Arroyo, Et al. Succeed on cheating lets join together and fight for our right. Because if we don’t tayo rin ang mahihirapan.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
JOHN BRADSHAW

everything has been said… so i say, i voted for him & my family voted for him because he deserves it more than others. he made a positive difference to 3 million & counting less TV adds & posters & less millions of campain funds.

the millions of vote came from the hearts of true filipinos.. no conditions asked.. just senserity …no strings attached.. just genuine service.

i hope & pray he wins…let’s guard his votes…let’s guard our vote… let’s guard our country.

magdaragat
I voted for Trillanes because I hate this government. I am not a rebel, and I do not consider Trillanes a rebel. But if somebody will call him a rebel, well, consider me one as well as the millions of Filipinos who voted for him. He is just a courageous man longing for change - a change that will hardly be achieved through the current election process. I really hope that he wins in this election. May God bless him.

Madaragat:

I hear you, Loud and clear!
So is everybody else. Most filipino people hate this bugos regime of Mrs. Pidal’s. Because base on lying, cheating, corruption, Killing’s, Among other things!

If they succeed on their cheating operation, Lets join together and protect our right as a citizen. Don’t be afraid because if we do we’re doom as a nation.

Lets join Capt. Trillanes, For his fight. Because his fight is our fight for a better Philippines. Salamat po!

roger
Trillanes is my guy! Actually I voted for entire GO slate. GMA doesn’t deserve to stay further in Malacanang, she didn’t win any elections anyways. Ang kapal talaga!!!!

Naku, Roger:

Tama ka gid. Ang kapal talaga ng mukha nitong si Mrs. Pidals. And Yes! she don’t deserve to set in Malacanyang Palace a minute longer. Sige, Lets unite and kick this bugos President of cebu.

Mabuhay tayong lahat who voted for the opposition, Especially for capt. Trillanes, Vote for Capt. Trillanes, Is a SLAP FOR GLORIA ARROYO, THE BUGOS PRESIDENT OF CEBU.

linda
Am not a voter but even if i am I will never place a position for either Trillanes or Gringo on my voters slip.There are so many candidates I could make a choice from and deserve to be in an office to run for the country but not this two who can’t think better, not even a slightest bit, for the country that this two says they loved “kono”. They almost have destroyed the Philippine’s credibility and nearly brought it to the brink just when it is coming out above water for the world to see. Everybody wanted to run and become the president of the Philippines but really unable to run efficiently for the world to see and take note.Do you think this two can bring the economy to a “B” ?

***
Linda:

It is your right to vote to anybody who you think can run this country better. Most of us vote for Capt. Trillanes, Because we believe on his fight for a better Philippines!

You were saying that if these two win in the senate can they make a den on our economy? The question is, Did Gloria Arroyo, Really Make a den in our economy? The answer to that is, No!

She claim to be under her bugos regime the Philippines economy is rosy, If this is true why is it most of filipino people are starving.

In fact ever since she squatt in Malacanyang Palace there is more filipino people can hardly eat. They’re lucky if they can eat atleast one meal a day. Do you really call that improvment? I think not.

We need a leader who is not anti-poor! we need a leader who will not lie to the filipino people just to save her ass….In my book Gloria Arroyo, Don’t deserve to be a leader. She don’t deserve to set in Malacanyang Palace, A minute longer. Kick her ass out and throw her ass in jail where she belong.

TheJM
I also voted for Trillanes and campaigned for him, though not officially. I asked my friends and family to vote for him for the reasons stated above plus my own reason, intelligence. I respect a man with intelligence, much more with principles. I wish that he could really win, but with only 5 watchers, I’d expect his votes massively shaved and him being dropped in the top 12. I pray that he would win which shows that the people (and the youth vote) shows what the vote of the people is all about.

***
The JM:

Don’t despair if Capt. Trillanes, Has only 5 watchers because there is lots of filipino people are watching the counting of ballots. The only problem we’ve witness is that they don’t let these poll watcher enter to the polling center where they’re counting the votes.

That is because they don’t want to get catch of their cheating operation. As we already see it, They got catch a few times doing their cheating operation. And there is proof no lie about it. But, each time they got catch they claim that its clerical error. Clerical error my ass!

And so they’ve corrected their mistake, Mistake that if they get away with it our votes would go to the candidates which is we never vote to begin with. May 10, 2004. All over again!!! IF GLORIA ARROYO, ET AL. CHEATING OPERATION SUCCEEDED LETS UNITE AND FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS!!!

What you see in Trillanes is what Gringo was in the ’90’s. Gringo has a bigger house than I do. Is that a red Lacoste polo shirt Trillanes? You do have a taste for the good things. Hey Trillanes, how will you improve the economy? Trillanes responds; unseat Arroyo because she is a fake President. There is nothing these morons can do for us. If one is incapable of improving their lives, one should seek a better life elsewhere or just stay home in the Philippines and participate in breaking world record for the biggest puto. ASK NOT WHAT HE CAN DO FOR YOU; ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOU….jfk

Pian
TO ALL (YOUNG AND OLD)
Well, I know Trillanes has good intentions but he’s going above the law shows he has no respect for the system he finds corrupt but he singled out this administration. The reason for Escudero’s popularity is, apart from his looks and being articulate, is riding on the current unpopularity of the president.
Indeed we are not ready for a genuine democracy because majority of our voters are poor who rely mostly on personalities instead of issues. That’s why there’s rampant vote-buying on both camps. So it becomes a choice of the lesser of two evils. You have to prioritize the economy first which I felt GMA is most capable of doing. It is for that reason why I support her. I’ve experienced different regimes starting from Marcos. Let me just share with all of you the extent of the damage the Marcos regime inflicted on our country that will hopefully enlighten all readers. During the Marcos era our country was at some point placed under Martial Law. So that all who oppose him turned out to be heroes, injured (like Jovito Salonga), tortured, exiled or killed. So the environment then was gripped with fear. Although Martial Law was eventually lifted, Marcos remained in power so fear was still there. I remember the time when we had to watch the Aquino assassination on tape and in secret even while at home because of fear. The middle class (where I belong) participated in Edsa I. With his ouster, the media and congress became free to oppose the government. Too free in fact, that Senators/Congressmen seem to oppose for the sake of opposing to gain media mileage and free publicity. We became so divisive that would scare potential investors away. The constitution was then amended to avoid a repeat of the Marcos regime so that qualifications to run for public office were lowered that even a high school graduate can run. But this has been exploited by some who, knowing their popularity with the masses as actors/actresses, ran for public office even if they have little or no background at all on public service. Because most of our people are poor, then all forms of enticements catering to the masses were employed, like endorsements by famous celebrities and rampant vote-buying.
Our nation is respected now because we have a capable president. It is not enough to say you have a heart for the poor, for it takes more than heart to run a country.
Definitely a change in the system is required because the current system does not address our needs anymore, in fact it hampers further growth in our economy. Our democracy is unlike other countries because our country constitutes mostly poor people.
I am wary of the young new breed of oppositionists who are deemed to make it to the senate like Chiz Escudero and Alan Cayetano. I think their only agenda is impeachment and nothing else. What disturbed me is why they chose to run under the GO banner which is obviously headed by the Estrada clan with no less than the former president advocating on national television for the people to revolt against corruption he himself is facing, and its former campaign manager in the person of San Juan mayor JV Ejercito, instead of running as Independents as what Francis Pangilinan did. That in itself should have made their voters think twice about their real intents. I’ve also read that Chiz Escudero CO-AUTHORED only about 2 bills I think while Alan Peter Cayetano had none while they were in Congress. I have a feeling that young as they are, they’re already skilled at manipulating the voters for their selfish ends. Hope I’m proven wrong.
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 on the next election.. I am pleading to everyone to PLEASE let the president do her job and yours as well. Leave the investigations to the media.
If the impeachment complaint will again be about cheating, then all politicians should step down (except for a few good men of course) because they all cheated the country in one way or another with their empty promises.

To everyone, I feel it imperative to share this with all of you because I feel that not all voters are aware of the extent of the damage during the Marcos regime. It becomes easier now to share my views due to the Internet. You may amend some points but please retain the essentials and forward this to as many voters as possible. If you don’t agree with some of my points, do tell me and I will of course defend myself. For those abroad, kindly exercise your right of suffrage noting the points I raised. I feel that GMA is our best chance to turn our economy around that’s why I’m doing this now as a concerned citizen.

Pian:

Thank you, For pointing this young and old. Remember one thing old is a history, Which is young people should learn what our elder mistake not to repeated.

You’re comparing Marcos to Gloria, Atleast Marcos declare martial law;
Gloria Arroyo, underclare martial law. Not atleast you’re blind to see exactly whats going on. People are getting kill if they speak up against this bugos President.

You were also saying that only Gloria Arroyo, Can run this country better because of booming economy. If this is true, Why is it there is more filipino people are starving ever since she squatt in Malacanyang Palace. The answer to that is because she’s to her teeth. She say anything to make her look good.

If you don’t believe me, There is nothing I can do about it. The truth is staring at your face. At atleast you’re blind to see it. Wake-up! so that you can see whats going on. Only blind can’t see exactly whats happening in our belove country.

while Trillanes is risking his life in the mutiny, he is risking so many people’s lives in oakwood also. It is not love of country that triggers Trillanes to revolt, it is greed of power and burst of extremist idealism that has been transmitted from one generation of leftist to another.

I have spoke with Gringo when I was 18 years old at echo tech cebu. my group of 6 I suppose, even eat together with him. I had a first hand experience of how Gringo pollute the mind of the idealistic youth. I’m so lucky that my mind was corrupted with the idea of revolution that he has been planting to the mind of the youth. Trillanes is perfect clone of Gringo.

With this people in the senate, only arguments will eat up the time of the 24 senators who are spending 1.6 million pesos per month. That’s true! 1.6 million pesos that senator santiago has been fighting to be shown to the public but is blocked by majority of the senators.

Do you want to add Trillanes to the senate? wake up! you are adding expenses which will be taken from our tax!

Trillanes or not…our country needs CHANGE!!! The main reason why our country hasn’t seen any positive change after the Marcos regime is because we keep electing people who don’t have clues on leadership and governance. Instead, corruption has become the supreme law of our land. It is very sad to see how our country and everything it used to stand for die slowly before our very eyes. What’s even sadder is we, as a country full of intelligent, very capable people are looking on as if we cannot do anything to stop it~to change the course of our history. I am sick and tired of all these celebrities, actors/actresses, atheletes, even mediocre nepotists who think they can run our country just because they have the right looks, the right family name, or the right amount of shallow popularity. When do these people realize that just because they can act a scene out, they can act as a senator or as a president as well. First of all, to be given the opportunity to serve the country is a privilege, not a claim to fame. Secondly, to serve is to give off your self, to give back to the country that gave you life. So for Treasure hunters and the like, there is no pot of gold at the end of your term. When do we start realizing that the greatest asset that our country has is its people? We have long stripped our country of the material and financial wealth with our own selfishness and corruption. What we have left is us, nevertheless the most valuable. Thirdly and most importantly, running a country is hard work and requires a great, intelligent mind (one which can more than just read and write…one that can actually THINK!), an honest heart for the people (and not just for the chosen few), a courageous and principled will (think George Washington, Winston Churchill, Andres Bonifacio, William Wallace… Leadership is definitely not for the faint of heart), most of all, running a country is not a one-man show but a collective process that lets every citizen actively take part on. A lot of these politician wannabes run for office to be above the people when in fact, such positions exist because it is made by the people, of the people, and for the people.
I know all of these sounded too much for our imperfect and limited abilities, but so did the noble and lofty idea that we can be a free country almost two centuries ago. Who would have ever thought that when the revolutionary minds of Bonifacio, Rizal, and the countless brave Filipinos hatched the idea of reclaiming our country from the hands of the once mighty Spaniards, it would really work?
It sounded impossible way back then but we did it anyway and look at how far along we’ve come…except of course, that we took an unnecessary detour so now here we are back in square one…and even in a deeper pothole because today, we are not just facing an empire~we are facing our own corruption and decay.
Maybe, Trillanes will be a breath of fresh air…maybe he’s gonna live up to the heroic hype we’d like to believe he is, or maybe, just maybe, he’d be another one of them who’d leave us with empty promises once he’s gotten to where he wants to be. I honestly don’t know that to expect or believe at this point when it comes to what has become of our country. I just hope that eventually, and I hope very soon before we will crumble to just an archipelago of no-man’s land, we will bring back the Philippines that the revolutionaries of 1896 fought so hard to set free.

I am getting tired of people saying that a vote for trillanes is a vote against GMA. Why do you hate GMA? because you concluded that she cheated and that she is corrupt? Who is Trillanes standing by now? Erap? Much as i want to believe all the good things that was said about him, I can’t help but shake my head. How can a principled, courageous man point a disapproving finger to the current president while standing beside a man who has done the very same things he is rebelling against. Actually, what kind of selfless, idealistic and patriotic man or woman, for that matter, would do that? Enlighten me on what kind of selflessness, idealism, courage, principle and leadership are we talking about here. Because in the dictionary, the right term is hypocrisy. Or is he that determined that he blindly clings to anything that could catapult him to power? But wait, i think that is still called something else.

I am scared for Trillanes. I know in my heart he has good intentions, but it seems that opportunists and the quest for power has taken the best of him. I do hope he proves me wrong one day.

And for the entire GO, isang boto lang laban sa nakaupo? When you successfully remove her from power, then what? You will take over? Then what? Can you solve the problem of poverty overnight? Can you sustain the economy? Can you stabilize the peso to USD 1 = Php 44? Can you attract investors? Will the cheating in the elections stop? Can you eradicate entirely graft and corruption?? Will there be no crimes? Are we going to be at par with SIN? Will the price of basic commodities go down? Can you do that in 3 years time? Can you do any better? Can you confidently say that within 6 years, my life, among with millions of Filipinos, will be so much better that none of us would even think of leaving this country for greener pastures? If you can’t answer accurately to any of these questions, then you have no right to forcibly take the chance of those in the government right now who are working hard and trying to make a difference despite all the noise and the hindrance that you are making. Because it is you who have no concept of unity, you who doesn’t know when to hold hands and when to argue, you who grabs every opportunity to get to where you want to be; it is you who is greedy of power, it is you who manipulates and lies, it is you who robs this country of its chance to be a great nation. Stop pointing fingers because IT IS YOU who gives this nation a great disservice.

Plan Co Revolt against graft and corruption? Come on, i thought you said that we (voters) are wise? How come it seems to me that you have just tried to manipulate and undermine our intellect? You want me to revolt behind Erap against GMA? Why, where were you when people were revolting against Erap? Were you against him or behind him? Perhaps you were at your house watching comfortably through your TV. BY the way, what happened to his case? Were you able to disprove it behind reasonable doubt? Has he not done a single sin that he could throw a stone to someone who is nevertheless innocent until proven guilty?

It seems we, Filipinos, are so bad at history we forget even the most recent ones.

A very inconvenient truth indeed.

(For the sake of this country, i pray that i am wrong because if I am, i would be glad to stand corrected–and this will be the happiest mistake i make)

Trillanes is a coward. Do you people know what mutiny and insubordination means to a soldier. It means he lost his leadership credibility once he suckered those enlisted soldiers to join him in his half-baked dramatic Oakwood mutiny. The man who dared the government, in the end could not cough up the courage to actually lead his men in combat. The qualities you think that he posses are no more than that of a dog at this point. There are many others that pull Trillanes strings. That will become evident ones he steps into power. He suckered those soldiers like he suckered those who voted now. And thanks to the media who made him a darling underdog, you will get what you vote for. What ABS-CBN never explored was the side of the lowly private in that mutiny. That he never even knew why they were there in the first place. They followed orders from their officers. Trillanes used the military for his own little misguided adventure. If only he did fight it out with the government instead of surrendering and issuing statements that borders on apologies for his actions, he might still have saved some dignity for himself. He is nothing but a coward.

actually zeny, we almost voted exactly for the same candidates except for Trillanes. you may have a point in saying that Trillanes is really a good candidate with all these excellent qualities you mentioned but if he is really that kind of a person why then is he running under the leadership of Joseph Estrada, a known plunderer, gambler and womanizer! that alone makes me question his real character and his real intention. he could have opted to run independent like pangilinan, that could have been admirable and would speak highly of his principles…

Ilalabas ang mga testigo - TU

(Eralyn Prado/Rose Miranda)

Ilabas ang whistleblowers!

Ito ang hamon ng Team Unity (TU) sa grupong Legal Network for Truthful Elections (Lente) upang patunayan ang kanilang alegasyon ng pandaraya.

Ayon kay TU Media Director Ben Evardone, sa halip na idaan sa media ang alegasyon maglabas ng ebidensiya at ilantad ang sinasabi nitong whisteblowers.

Partikular na tinukoy ni Evardone ay sinasabing mga guro ng Maguidanao na miyembro umano ng board of elections inspector (BEI) na siya umanong nagsulat ng mga pangalan ng ng mga kandidato ng TU sa mga balota na kung saa’y ginamit ng mga ito ang pirma at thumbmarks ng mga estudyante.

Sinabi ni Evardone na kung totoo ang sinasabi ng mga gruo ay dapat lamang na lumantad ang mga ito dahil ito’y napakaseryosong alegasyon.

Maging ang ilang administraiton congressman ay kumondena sa alegasyong pandaraya na ginawa ng administrasyon at Team Unity.

Binigyan-diin ni administration Rep. Douglas Cagas na hindi nagpalabas nang kautusan ang administrasyon upang mandaya para sa mga kandidato ng TU o gipitin ang Commission on Elections (Comelec) para ipanalo ang TU.

Ayon kay Cagas, dapat ilabas ng poll watchdog na Lente ang sinasabing saksi nito.

Sinabi naman ni Rep. Mauricio Domogan na dapat makipagtulungan ang sinasabing saksi ng Lente sa isasagawang imbestigasyon sa umano’y dayaan sa Maguindanao dahil seryosong alegasyon ito.

“Those who claim they had knowledge of or participation in the alleged fraud should help in the resolution of the issue,” ayon kay Domogan.

Bilang reaksyon sa pagbubunyag ng Lenten a may hawak itong testigong guro sa iregularidad ng halalan sa Maguindanao kung saan nakapagposte ng 12-0 victory ang TU, boluntaryong nag-alok ang Malacañang sa pamamagitan ni National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales na magkaloob ng security sa naturang mga testigo.

“Trabaho naman ng gobyerno ito. Walang kulay-pulitika. Ako naman ay nag-o-offer lang kung sakaling mag-ask sila ng tulong, bakit hindi?,” ani Gonzales.

Matatandaang natatakot para sa kanilang buhay ang mga testigo.

Fr: Salina.

After reading this, I agree na ilabas ang mga testigo. So that the truth will come out. They keep saying show your proof, In May 10, 2004. Presidential election we have proof that Gloria Arroyo, Et al. Cheated. What happen tinaihan lang nila yon proof namin. Hangang ngayon. The only reason they want yon mga testigo to come out so that its easy for them to kill them. Ika nga yon patay hindi na maka pagsalita!

If they don’t have anything to hide they should just hold another election in that town, Because they witness say that they’re the one filling out the ballots day before election day.

Ang ibig sabihin walang election na nangyari sa town na yon!

TU inilampaso rin sa Nueva Ecija

(Rey Marfil/Aries Cano)

——————————————————————————–

Hindi rin umubra ang ipinagmamalaking command votes at makinarya ng Malacañang sa lalawigan ng Nueva Ecija kahit nanalo ang local candidates ng administrasyon matapos kumain ng alikabok ang mga kandidato sa pagka-senador ni Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Bagama’t dalawang partido ang bumitbit sa Team Unity (TU) sa Nueva Ecija, talunan pa rin ang senatorial bets ni Mrs. Arroyo matapos mauwi sa 8-2-2 ang final tally ng Commission on Elections (Comelec), pabor sa Genuine Opposition (GO) candidates.

Pawang kandidato ng GO ang umokupa mula sa No. 1 spot hanggang No. 10 at mistulang sinalamin lamang ang senatorial ranking ng canvassing sa PICC compound ng National Board of Canvassers (NBC), partikular ang mga kandidatong pumasok sa Top 3.

Halos hindi nagkakalayo ang botong nakuha nina Loren Legarda (No. 1), Chiz Escudero (No. 2) at Panfilo “Ping” Lacson (No. 3) sa Nueva Ecija kung saan hindi bababa sa kalahating milyong boto ang naitala ng bawat isa.

Itinuturing na balwarte ni Mrs. Arroyo ang Nueva Ecija at isa ito sa maraming lugar na deklaradong vote-rich provinces na maaaring pagkunan ng command votes ng TU.

Kabuntot ng tatlong GO senatorial bets sina Manuel Villar Jr. (GO), Noynoy Aquino (GO), Gringo Honasan (Ind), Alan Cayetano (GO), Antonio Trillanes (GO), Francis Pangilinan (Ind) at Koko Pimentel (GO). Habang tanging sina Edgardo Angara (No. 11) at Tito Sotto III (No. 12) ang nakapasok sa TU kabuntot sa No. 13 at No. 14 slot sina Sonia Roco (GO) at Ralph Recto ng TU.

FR: Salina.

Patunay lang ito na sinosuka ng taong bayan si Gloria Arroyo, To those who voted for the OPPOSTION, THANK YOU!

Ex-Navy Lt. Antonio Trillanes deserves a seat in the Senate. I firmly believe that it’s not just a protest vote against bogus President Gloria Arroyo; it is a protest vote against Philippines’ bankrupt political system. The Arroyo government has a Mafia-like structure in place. Shameless elections chief Benjamin Abalos is responsible for 2004 presidential election’s massive electoral fraud and planned 2007 midterm elections’ junking of Antonio Trillanes, Alan Cayetano, Nonoy Aquino and Koko Pimentel in favor of Gloria’s tutas. COMELEC STINKS!

Mutineer ! coup d ‘ etat ! are these words good? how about grievances? hmmn sounds good. You can’t actually use this words to present a negative effects on this guys, coz you know what, mutiny and coup are the words that freed us from Marcos regime, Indonesia did the same thing, and some other countries who copied from us. Anybody can tagged Trillanes as Mutineer, but people who knows better, calls it grievances. It wasn’t a failed coup, from them we found out about the GMA administrations plans of staging a terrorist act (bombings in a busy areas) in several areas in the country and blame them to the Muslim brothers, so GMA can ask millions of dollars from the US to fight terrorism in the country. That plan was obviously thwarted by the “Mutineers”. If they (trillanes & co.) don’t have the balls to stake it out in the open, can you imagine how many innocent lives (infant, 2yrs old kid, etc.)could suffer, or lost with out a cause, and for how long they could have been doing these. The sad thing about it, some people is going to get richer in US dollars, I guess they already have billions in pesos, they want US bills now. I think Trillanes and his fellow soldiers are heroes in some extent. Who knows? maybe my auntie, cousins, brothers, nephews could be one of the victims. I’m asking everybody to be vigilant to these kind of evilness, we should be one, especially that Trillanes is in Jail.
I’m not against GMA, somebody in her administration advised them how to make millions, before your term is over, I can undestand that, it was actually smart, very smart in the wrong way. Hey teachers, police, clerks everybody if you know anything like this bring them out don’t just stand out there and do nothing, ika nga ni Ninoy “every life of a Filipino is worth dying for”. May god bless the Philippines.

Makati court grants bail to Leviste

By DJ Yap, Leila Salaverria
Inquirer
Last updated 03:30am (Mla time) 05/22/2007

MANILA, Philippines – Former Batangas Gov. Jose Antonio Leviste, who stands accused of killing his longtime aide, Rafael de las Alas, will be getting out of jail soon after a Makati court granted him bail yesterday.

Judge Elmo Alameda of Makati Regional Trial Court Branch 150 allowed Leviste to post a P300,000 bail for his provisional liberty after finding that the prosecution failed to prove strong evidence of guilt.

Fr: Salina.

Mga igan hito na naman, Si Levisti na naka patay ng tao naka labas, Samatalan si Capt. Trillanes, Hindi. Ang tanong ko ay kong bakit. What kind of justice system we have in the Philippines, If is not a corrupt justice system.

Katulad kay Gloria Arroyo, There is solid evidence against her, But yet she’s still the one running the country. With this rate the philippines will never get out under. And we’re all going down with it. Either you like it or not.

Its time for change, Change for better Philippines! Guards the oppostion votes, We need them to our fight for a better Philippines!

Proklamasyon ni Darlene di naawat ni Pacquiao

(Bernard Taguinod)

——————————————————————————–

Wala nang nagawa ang kampo ni People’s Champ Manny Pacquiao nang iproklama ng Commission on Elections (Comelec) ang kalaban nitong si South Cotabato Rep. Darlene Antonino-Custodio bilang panalo sa congressional race ng unang distrito ng lalawigan.

Umabot sa botong 139,061 ang nakuha ni Antonino-Custodio kumpara sa 75,908 boto para sa pambansang kamao sa pinal na bilangan.

Nabatid na sa tatlong municipal at isang siyudad na sakop ng unang distrito ng South Cotabato, hindi man lamang nakalamang si Pacquiao kay Antonino-Custodio.

Kabilang sa mga sakop ng distrito ay ang bayan ng Tupi, Polomolok at Tampacan at ang General Santos City kung saan kapwa nakatira ang dalawang nabanggit na kandidato.

Base sa impormasyong nakalap ng TONITE, inilampaso ni Antonino-Custodio si Pacquiao sa General Santos City at Polomolok at bagama’t dumikit ang laban sa Tupi at Tampacan ay lumamang pa rin ang lady solon.

Tinangkang pigilan ng kampo ni Pacquiao ang proklamasyon ni Antonino-Custodio dahil hindi pa umano nareresolbahan ang reklamo ng boksingero ukol sa mga election returns na walang watermarks, subalit nabigo ito.

Walang nang nagawa ang kampo ni Pacquiao nang itaas ang kamay ni Antonino-Custodio kasama ang halos buong team habang sa buong team ni Pacquiao sa General Santos City ay isang kandidato sa pagka-konsehal lamang ang lumusot.

Samantala, hindi umano nalungkot ang mga tagahanga ni Pacquiao sa pagkakatalo nito bagkus ay ikinatuwa pa ang kabiguan ng boksingero dahil hindi na mahahati ang atensyon ng Pambansang Kamao sa pulitika at pagboboksing.

Fr: Salina.

Congrad to Darlene. Sorry ka nalang Pacman. The only reason Pacman, Run this election because Gloria Arroyo, Ask him to run because he’s very pupolar he’s a sure winner. Just to be honest I think so too. But I was wrong and I’m glad he loss. Iyan ang napala niya ng dahil ng pagamit siya. But Pacman, Said that the only reason he’s running so that he can help the poor people. If you really want to help the poor you don’t have to be a politician. I’m the living proof of that.

Salina,

Please bear in mind that GMA was the duly elected vice president to Erap during the time that He was outed of the presidency. She also received an overwhelming votes from the people more than what Erap have received (votes). She did not steal the presidency then … it is her contitutional mandate to take over the presidency as a vice president when the president is ousted or incapacitated to govern.

Why is Gloria always the blame. Hey folks, time to move on and can we keep moving. For an election, there is always a winner and someone needs to be proclaimed. Please look at the principle of the former US vice president Al Gore. he wrote the real bool An Inconvenient Truth” about the environment. He did not challenge and instead worked on something her believed is worthy for all mankind and not only Americans. It is very inconvenient to say that a vote for Trillanes is a hate vote for Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. I had never voter for GMA myself. Please stop preaching hatred against any individual. It is a setback towards national reconciliation and progress. That is the reason why there are so many serious killings in the Philippines. it is because there are so many people perceived by evil, thus causing so much death and destruction. The election is an expression of rights and freedom but sad to say there is always a violation. Anyhow, lets keep on moving. If one candidate loses, support the winning one and work out together. One does not really have to sit as the elected candidate to conduct public service. Doing public service comes from the heart and mind. That is to aid and help the people more than your own. I am hoping that Trillanes will be able to read this piece of mine. He will become an example to everyone and if he continue to aid whoever will be seated in power, next time around he will have their votes. Now is the time to work together after the election, there should be no more partisanship in the senate and in congress. Everyone needs to support the president, sometimes her decision might be wrong but it is how the Philippines will move on. Thank you very much.

Conducting a mutiny is an act of treason that could be punishable by treason. While it is true that there is rampant corruption in the country and the politicians are corrupt as well. One does not need to take justice on his/her own hands. In doing so, it only complicate things and nothing will be accomplished. It was very lucky that the mutiny headed by Trillanes did not cause death and destruction. Every single life is so precious. In a democracy there is always a respect of law. Did Trillanes used his chain of command, although I also question if our chain of command in the Philippine military hierarchy is working. For him to address his grievance, he should had seek the services of his representative, that is why we have congressmen and senators. People, face it, Trillanes did something wrong and he deserve to be incarcerated. I would question the mentality of Filipinos including a person who is currently serving jail sentence for a crime/violation committed. how could Trillanes nor Honasan serve the people while they are in jail, it does make a little sense but it is really odd. The bottom line with those two (Trillanes and Honasan) are female voting impact, because they are good looking, most females voted for them. I would not trust both of them in the future since they could be capable of disrupting the economy. Being former and military personnel, they could always upstage a coup and or military junta.
Manny Pacquiao is himself to be blamed, he think he is a “god” now that he has won his fights. That is only temporary my friend. I think GMA had none to do with his running for a congressional posession. It is wrong, sick and unethical to blame GMA for everything that is happening in the country. Believe me, it is really us who need to be blamed because we are not doing well our part as citizens. Only in working and bonding together shall we attain a common goal. So like our archipelago scattered everwhere, we will never ever unite and forever be indifferent. Unfortunately, we are like our Indonesain brothers.

Ooopsss sorry… mutiny is ana ct of treason that could be punishable by death. Sorry about that folks, peace…

Mutineer ! coup d ‘ etat ! are these words good? how about grievances? hmmn sounds good. You can’t actually use this words to present a negative effects on this guys, coz you know what, mutiny and coup are the words that freed us from Marcos regime, Indonesia did the same thing, and some other countries who copied from us. Anybody can tagged Trillanes as Mutineer, but people who knows better, calls it grievances. It wasn’t a failed coup, from them we found out about the GMA administrations plans of staging a terrorist act (bombings in a busy areas) in several areas in the country and blame them to the Muslim brothers, so GMA can ask millions of dollars from the US to fight terrorism in the country. That plan was obviously thwarted by the “Mutineers”. If they (trillanes & co.) don’t have the balls to stake it out in the open, can you imagine how many innocent lives (infant, 2yrs old kid, etc.)could suffer, or lost with out a cause, and for how long they could have been doing these. The sad thing about it, some people is going to get richer in US dollars, I guess they already have billions in pesos, they want US bills now. I think Trillanes and his fellow soldiers are heroes in some extent. Who knows? maybe my auntie, cousins, brothers, nephews could be one of the victims. I’m asking everybody to be vigilant to these kind of evilness, we should be one, especially that Trillanes is in Jail.
I’m not against GMA, somebody in her administration advised them how to make millions, before your term is over, I can undestand that, it was actually smart, very smart in the wrong way. Hey teachers, police, clerks everybody if you know anything like this bring them out don’t just stand out there and do nothing, ika nga ni Ninoy “every life of a Filipino is worth dying for”. May god bless the Philippines.

Pinoy! I’m glad you post on what you know about what Gloria Arroyo, Et al. Did so that they can receive lots of money from the U.S. GOV’T. I also know this for the fact. But, That is the U.S.GOV’T fault for believing Gloria Arroyo, Because they already know that she’s the number one liar.

For as long as Gloria Arroyo, Et al. Knows that the U.S. GOV’T Keep given them money they will keep on lying. And for as long as the filipino people just close their eyes kahit na nakikita nila ang mga ginagawang masama ng bugos regime na ito there is no place for us to go but down. So, Whatever we’re getting we all deserve it. This is one of the reason why they’re doing everything in their power for Capt. Trillanes, To rot in jail because he knows to much….

Velarde tells Arroyo: Heed signs

HONG KONG — The spiritual adviser of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo says she should read the message of the people in the senatorial elections and restore credibility to her government.

El Shaddai leader Bro. Mariano “Mike” Velarde has a second piece of advice for Ms Arroyo: Abandon Cha-cha (Charter change) for good
*********************
Fr: Salina.

Father Mike, Good advice! But I don’t understand you’re Gloria Arroyo, Personal advicer why is it that lahat ng ginagawa niya is anti-poor? Why didn’t you advice her before to abandon the CHA, CHA, When they keep shubing it to the filipino people throat. Baka ang akala inyo maka lusot kayo? Ganoon ba?

Let her try again, Lets see if the filipino people going to take it setting down. Is that why you’re advicing her now, Because you know somebody will pick her up in a cabbage patch field. No lie about it. If you’ve given her a good advice before perhaps all these bad things well never happen. Amen:

Diego K. Guerrero
Ex-Navy Lt. Antonio Trillanes deserves a seat in the Senate. I firmly believe that it’s not just a protest vote against bogus President Gloria Arroyo; it is a protest vote against Philippines’ bankrupt political system. The Arroyo government has a Mafia-like structure in place. Shameless elections chief Benjamin Abalos is responsible for 2004 presidential election’s massive electoral fraud and planned 2007 midterm elections’ junking of Antonio Trillanes, Alan Cayetano, Nonoy Aquino and Koko Pimentel in favor of Gloria’s tutas. COMELEC STINKS!

Sampal kay Gloria

MR. EXPOSE

Amb. Ernesto Maceda

05/22/2007

The common reaction on the miraculous victory of Fr. Ed Panlilio as governor of Pampanga, the President’s home province, over GMA candidates Gov. Mark Lapid (Lakas) and board member Lilia Pineda (Kampi) is “sampal kay GMA.” And so is the knock-out of Manny Pacquiao by tiny Darlene Antonino-Custodio who won with a margin of 67,000. Malacañang went all-out to defeat Darlene but to no avail.

The 190 thousand to 22 thousand thrashing of GMA-FG-Genuino-anointed candidate Lito Lapid by Jojo Binay in the mayoral race in Makati City was a definite public disapproval of several Malacañang moves to dismiss, suspend or cripple Binay.

Yep! I agree just like Gloria Arroyo, Did, She set a small Macalanyang palace in cebu because the cebueno succeeded on their cheating operation. Thats why I keep calling her the bugos President of cebu. Its true! I’m not a liar like her.

Trillanes is a coward. Do you people know what mutiny and insubordination means to a soldier. It means he lost his leadership credibility once he suckered those enlisted soldiers to join him in his half-baked dramatic Oakwood mutiny. The man who dared the government, in the end could not cough up the courage to actually lead his men in combat. The qualities you think that he posses are no more than that of a dog at this point. There are many others that pull Trillanes strings. That will become evident ones he steps into power. He suckered those soldiers like he suckered those who voted now. And thanks to the media who made him a darling underdog, you will get what you vote for. What ABS-CBN never explored was the side of the lowly private in that mutiny. That he never even knew why they were there in the first place. They followed orders from their officers. Trillanes used the military for his own little misguided adventure. If only he did fight it out with the government instead of surrendering and issuing statements that borders on apologies for his actions, he might still have saved some dignity for himself. He is nothing but a coward.

Do you have any idea what Gloria Arroyo, Did? If not you better do your homework first before you open your big mounth. I don’t have anything against the people who’s speaking against Capt. Trillanes, But first find out the truth why he did what he did. Not atleast you don’t know if the magdalo soldier’s didn’t do anything all the corruption in AFP. well be swipe under the rug! If you don’t believe me, Go ahead and check it out.

I am getting tired of people saying that a vote for trillanes is a vote against GMA. Why do you hate GMA? because you concluded that she cheated and that she is corrupt? Who is Trillanes standing by now? Erap? Much as i want to believe all the good things that was said about him, I can’t help but shake my head. How can a principled, courageous man point a disapproving finger to the current president while standing beside a man who has done the very same things he is rebelling against. Actually, what kind of selfless, idealistic and patriotic man or woman, for that matter, would do that? Enlighten me on what kind of selflessness, idealism, courage, principle and leadership are we talking about here. Because in the dictionary, the right term is hypocrisy. Or is he that determined that he blindly clings to anything that could catapult him to power? But wait, i think that is still called something else.

I am scared for Trillanes. I know in my heart he has good intentions, but it seems that opportunists and the quest for power has taken the best of him. I do hope he proves me wrong one day.

And for the entire GO, isang boto lang laban sa nakaupo? When you successfully remove her from power, then what? You will take over? Then what? Can you solve the problem of poverty overnight? Can you sustain the economy? Can you stabilize the peso to USD 1 = Php 44? Can you attract investors? Will the cheating in the elections stop? Can you eradicate entirely graft and corruption?? Will there be no crimes? Are we going to be at par with SIN? Will the price of basic commodities go down? Can you do that in 3 years time? Can you do any better? Can you confidently say that within 6 years, my life, among with millions of Filipinos, will be so much better that none of us would even think of leaving this country for greener pastures? If you can’t answer accurately to any of these questions, then you have no right to forcibly take the chance of those in the government right now who are working hard and trying to make a difference despite all the noise and the hindrance that you are making. Because it is you who have no concept of unity, you who doesn’t know when to hold hands and when to argue, you who grabs every opportunity to get to where you want to be; it is you who is greedy of power, it is you who manipulates and lies, it is you who robs this country of its chance to be a great nation. Stop pointing fingers because IT IS YOU who gives this nation a great disservice.

Plan Co Revolt against graft and corruption? Come on, i thought you said that we (voters) are wise? How come it seems to me that you have just tried to manipulate and undermine our intellect? You want me to revolt behind Erap against GMA? Why, where were you when people were revolting against Erap? Were you against him or behind him? Perhaps you were at your house watching comfortably through your TV. BY the way, what happened to his case? Were you able to disprove it behind reasonable doubt? Has he not done a single sin that he could throw a stone to someone who is nevertheless innocent until proven guilty?

It seems we, Filipinos, are so bad at history we forget even the most recent ones.

A very inconvenient truth indeed.

(For the sake of this country, i pray that i am wrong because if I am, i would be glad to stand corrected–and this will be the happiest mistake i make)

Fr: Salina.

Do you really believe that Gloria Arroyo, Is the best thing happen to the philippines? If so, Why it there is more filipino people are starving ever since she squatt in Malacanyang Palace.

You were saying that the economy is rosy, The peso is high. Yes, Absulotely right but the only reason the peso is high against the dollars not because of Gloria Arroyo, Good governance.

Not atleast you don’t know it. The reason the Peso went up against the dollar’s because of the money remmitance from OFW. Like myself. No need for name calling. Just speak the truth. And the reason why there is lots of people vote for Capt. Trillanes, Because the filipino people believe what he’s fighting for:

Like he said “This is our last chance for peaceful way to remove the undersirables Gov’t. So that we can progress!”

What thats tell you? And also Capt. Trillanes, Were saying that if he loss he’s not going to run in office again. I believe him because he got a word of honor.

Not like Gloria Arroyo, She’s a liar! She say one thing and do other things! Gloria Arroyo, Has proven herself to be the number one liar!

I’ve never known a people sow so much intrigue among themselves. Intrigue breeds hatred and we’ve come to this because we can never let go of the temptation to talk cheap against one another. I hope people would just keep their negative sentiments aka “crab mentality” and the propensity to “tsismis” all to their good selves. Let us help the government govern the nation instead of pulling it down. We will have to give our leaders the authority to govern and hold them accountable for it. History will jusdge a leader whether he/she has done the country good or otherwise.

shykulasa
actually zeny, we almost voted exactly for the same candidates except for Trillanes. you may have a point in saying that Trillanes is really a good candidate with all these excellent qualities you mentioned but if he is really that kind of a person why then is he running under the leadership of Joseph Estrada, a known plunderer, gambler and womanizer! that alone makes me question his real character and his real intention. he could have opted to run independent like pangilinan, that could have been admirable and would speak highly of his principles…
****
Fr: Salina.

Shykulasa.

You were saying that you didn’t vote for Capt. Trillanes, Because the person endorse him is Plunderer, Gambler, womanizer among other thing! I have heard this word before so many times from Anti-Erap! But compare Erap to Gloria Arroyo, Erap is a better person.

Its true that he’s gambler, Womanerizer, But what he love life got to do with anything else for as long as he’s doing he’s job he suppose too. You were saying that Erap, Is plunderer. If its true that he plunder the country coffer why is it they didn’t let the impeachment trial to be finish so that the whole truth will come out.

The reason they kick the duly Elected President Joseph Estrada, So that they’re the one can rob the country coffer as the record show. In fact there is solid evidence against Gloria Arroyo, Et el. But she’s still the one running the country while Erap getting rotten in jail for the accusation that up to date they still don’t have any solid evidence against him.

Ang galing ng mga buwaya sa Malakanyang.Ilang araw na lang wala na si Tita Glue sa poder, pupulutin na lang sa kangkungan.Beware of this, d PIDAL FAMILY WIL NOT ALLOW tRILLANES AND CAYETANO to win as senators kc ibubulatlat nila ang kanilang mga kababuyan sa gobyerno.SHE HAS NO MANDATE, SHES A CONGENITAL LIAR, super KAPALMUKS, mandaraya, magnanakaw at gusto pang i-extend ang power beyond 2010 as Premier.Subokan mo at sasabog na ang Pinas.Sabagay, not all d time your corrupt generals will protect u, anytime..who knows may traydor na lalabas at ibubuking ka.Mabuhay Trillanes at Cayetano.Mabuhay Marcos,Erap at FPJ, GO…GO…GO, KICK OUT TITA GLUE.

OutspokenPinoy
Trillanes or not…our country needs CHANGE!!! The main reason why our country hasn’t seen any positive change after the Marcos regime is because we keep electing people who don’t have clues on leadership and governance. Instead, corruption has become the supreme law of our land. It is very sad to see how our country and everything it used to stand for die slowly before our very eyes. What’s even sadder is we, as a country full of intelligent, very capable people are looking on as if we cannot do anything to stop it~to change the course of our history. I am sick and tired of all these celebrities, actors/actresses, atheletes, even mediocre nepotists who think they can run our country just because they have the right looks, the right family name, or the right amount of shallow popularity. When do these people realize that just because they can act a scene out, they can act as a senator or as a president as well. First of all, to be given the opportunity to serve the country is a privilege, not a claim to fame. Secondly, to serve is to give off your self, to give back to the country that gave you life. So for Treasure hunters and the like, there is no pot of gold at the end of your term. When do we start realizing that the greatest asset that our country has is its people? We have long stripped our country of the material and financial wealth with our own selfishness and corruption. What we have left is us, nevertheless the most valuable. Thirdly and most importantly, running a country is hard work and requires a great, intelligent mind (one which can more than just read and write…one that can actually THINK!), an honest heart for the people (and not just for the chosen few), a courageous and principled will (think George Washington, Winston Churchill, Andres Bonifacio, William Wallace… Leadership is definitely not for the faint of heart), most of all, running a country is not a one-man show but a collective process that lets every citizen actively take part on. A lot of these politician wannabes run for office to be above the people when in fact, such positions exist because it is made by the people, of the people, and for the people.
I know all of these sounded too much for our imperfect and limited abilities, but so did the noble and lofty idea that we can be a free country almost two centuries ago. Who would have ever thought that when the revolutionary minds of Bonifacio, Rizal, and the countless brave Filipinos hatched the idea of reclaiming our country from the hands of the once mighty Spaniards, it would really work?
It sounded impossible way back then but we did it anyway and look at how far along we’ve come…except of course, that we took an unnecessary detour so now here we are back in square one…and even in a deeper pothole because today, we are not just facing an empire~we are facing our own corruption and decay.
Maybe, Trillanes will be a breath of fresh air…maybe he’s gonna live up to the heroic hype we’d like to believe he is, or maybe, just maybe, he’d be another one of them who’d leave us with empty promises once he’s gotten to where he wants to be. I honestly don’t know that to expect or believe at this point when it comes to what has become of our country. I just hope that eventually, and I hope very soon before we will crumble to just an archipelago of no-man’s land, we will bring back the Philippines that the revolutionaries of 1896 fought so hard to set free.

Out spoken Pinoy.

Everything you said is true! I can’t agree with you more,.

Capt. Trillanes, Say. “This is our last chance for peaceful way to remove the undersirables gov’t. so that we can Progress!”

What he was saying is also true! This is one of the reason why my entire family voted for him and the rest of filipino people because who believe on whats he’s fighting for.

As we all can see it already the Philippines is scrambling to the ground its just a matter of time before the Philippines economy will collapse. The rate our economy is going the economy will collapse before our very eyes!

Its ashame because the filipino people are very smart but most of us are working in other country, And without money remmitance from OFW. The philippines already went bankrupt.

anti-trillanes
while Trillanes is risking his life in the mutiny, he is risking so many people’s lives in oakwood also. It is not love of country that triggers Trillanes to revolt, it is greed of power and burst of extremist idealism that has been transmitted from one generation of leftist to another.

I have spoke with Gringo when I was 18 years old at echo tech cebu. my group of 6 I suppose, even eat together with him. I had a first hand experience of how Gringo pollute the mind of the idealistic youth. I’m so lucky that my mind was corrupted with the idea of revolution that he has been planting to the mind of the youth. Trillanes is perfect clone of Gringo.

With this people in the senate, only arguments will eat up the time of the 24 senators who are spending 1.6 million pesos per month. That’s true! 1.6 million pesos that senator santiago has been fighting to be shown to the public but is blocked by majority of the senators.

Do you want to add Trillanes to the senate? wake up! you are adding expenses which will be taken from our tax!
********
Fr: Salina.

Hello, Anti-Trillanes. I guess you’re old enough to know better. And you have every right to say that you’re anti-Trillanes. I’m not going to hold it against you, After all we can’t expect anybody to like Capt. Trillanes.

I’m so amaze how you can hate Capt. Trillanes, To become senator because you were saying that he could be plundering the country coffer just like some of the senator’s that already plundering it.

How about Gloria Arroyo, Et al. There is solid evidnce against them for plundering the gov’t coffer but you’re not saying anything about it.

I guess its okay with you, Why’s that? I don’t get it. You can’t even give Capt. Trillanes, A chance to probe himself what he can do to the country! I hope and pray that Capt. Trillanes, Win this election so that he can probe himself to the filipino people what he can do for our country. Amen:

I’m so proud to belong in a group of inteligent people who really speak with a true sense and meaning. Palagay ko taga UP yung mga bumoto kay Trillanes, filipino na merong utak. I went to UST masarap mag aral sa pinas mas lalo na sa university, ang tatalino ng mga pilipino. Pero dati ang mga pinoys binoboto yung mga artista kasi marami sa atin ang hindi nakapag aral sa University. Ngayon talo sila, medyo nagkakaroon na tayo ng balance. Napaka informative ng comment na, milyon ang kinikita ng senador. That’s true, kahit dito sa US, isang ex President Bill Clinton kapag nag speech sya, he get paid a lot, I dont know exactly how much but its pretty good. Sana palayain na si Trillanes at walang dayaan.

The results of the recent election manifest the sentiments of the people. It may not necessarily questioning the legitimacy of Mrs. Arroyo’s presidency, rather the way the government is being run. Yes, we may have achieve some improvement in the economy, but this would not mean that we have to close our eyes and ears on the way they run the government. This country, will never achieve the peace and unity it has been longing for, for the past years as long as the likes of Gonzalez, Puno, Abalos and Ermita are in the government. Look what they have been doing right now! Ermita stopped the proclamation of Leviste, Abalos stopped the counting of votes at Binan for mayoralty candidate and Puno now pushing the cases against Trinidad…People are no longer taking these sitting down…the administration with all of these actions are becoming more and more UNPOPULAR. They need not wait for people to raise their arms.

‘With a tidal wave of more shutouts, Pichay could even dislodge Loren Legarda from No. 1.’

Yesterday morning, election officials were daring LENTE, an election watch-dog group made up of lawyers, to file an official complaint on the allegation that no voting was held in Maguindanao on May 14. By afternoon, Comelec officials were singing a different tune. Commissioner Rene Sarmiento, who was in charge of Mindanao, said he would be forming a task force to investigate the alleged wholesale fraud. Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos said the alleged massive cheating was alarming and that the elections body was taking the charges very seriously.

Well, at least the Comelec has finally gained notice of an anomaly that everybody has been taking about since Maguindanao reported a 12-0 shutout of the opposition. It’s an improvement from its previous “show-us-the evidence” pro-forma response to any and all allegations of cheating.

Anyway, let’s see how the task force will proceed with its investigation.

The Comelec provincial director for Maguindanao claimed residents indeed went to the polling places on election day to cast their votes. Proper canvassing was held. And the certificate of canvass truly reflects the choice of the Maguindanao electorate.

On the other hand, a teacher has surfaced to claim they filled up the ballots on the night before the elections. They then prepared election returns based on the ballots they had manufactured. The truth between the provincial election director’s claim and the teacher’s allegations should not be that difficult to determine.

The investigators, for starters, can open the ballot boxes and examine their contents. With the help of handwriting experts from the police, they can check whether the ballots were filled by one person or by the 300 or so individuals who were listed per precinct.

There was another allegation that schoolchildren were rounded up to place their thumb marks after the names of the “ghost” voters on the list of those who turned up and secured pieces of blank ballots. It would be easy enough to compare the thumb marks with those contained in the individual registration cards which are presumably on Comelec file. Or if the cards could not be found, for the investigators to locate every voter and compare his thumb marks with those on the board of election inspector’s list of people who voted.

The investigators need not even go over each and every ballot box. For starters, they can randomly select ballot boxes from 100 precincts. If no systematic cheating could be found, then that’s the end of it. The national board of canvassers in Manila can start adding the Mindanao results to their running totals.

If the Maguindanao votes are enough to pole vault Prospero Pichay to No. 12, our congratulations. With a tidal wave of more shutouts, he could even dislodge Loren Legarda from No. 1.

It would be easy enough to compare the thumb marks with those contained in the individual registration cards which are presumably on Comelec file. Or if the cards could not be found, for the investigators to locate every voter and compare his thumb marks with those on the board of election inspector’s list of people who voted.

The investigators need not even go over each and every ballot box. For starters, they can randomly select ballot boxes from 100 precincts. If no systematic cheating could be found, then that’s the end of it. The national board of canvassers in Manila can start adding the Mindanao results to their running totals.

If the Maguindanao votes are enough to pole vault Prospero Pichay to No. 12, our congratulations. With a tidal wave of more shutouts, he could even dislodge Loren Legarda from No. 1.

Why crucify Trillanes? Crucify the 1.2m people who voted for him!! Okay, you did not vote for Trillanes, fine, but that doesn’t mean you are better than the 1.2m! Come on…away with that holier, better than you attitude.

Manny Pacquiao has no respect to the people of Gensan and South Cotabato. Wanted to help the people…his main reason to join politics…has no truth because he could do that in many ways by not joining politics. He is from rug to riches but could not spare any single cent to the welfare of his provincemate..Have you heard of any hospital, church, gym, or kiosk he built from his winnings…none none none none…but you can only see his mansions…his jewelries in his neck…his wife now turning to be a woman…his mother who can who can beat Nora Aunor in the FAMAS. HELP…HELP…he call help the 100 or 500 pesos balato he gives to the people after his successful fight matches….People in South Cotabato are not as stupid as him….that allows to be manipulated by GMA…they are wise voters…What help he is talking about…if ever he will win..he will use his pork barrel share to build roads etc…but nothing will come out from his pocket…is that what he is talking as help..Pacquiao still the money of the people….Do you give respect to a person who idolized Chavit…come on…wake up…Pacquiao…and TUTA of GMA..come on….Pacquiao we love you as a boxer and please remain to be a boxer…be humble and be true to yourself..now that you lost…do you still want to HELP them…PROVE IT TO US….baka naman nakapila pa rin ang mga may sakit sa harapan ng bahay mo at dinadaanan mo lang….Pacquiao…please use your connections in Malacanang (kung meron ah) to create jobs jobs jobs jobs in GENSAN…please build a boxing gym in Gensan for your kababayan who wishes to follow your footsteps…Donate a school building for the children…build a world class Pier for the fishermens…finance a cooperative for the farmers…Manny, many things you can do but makasarili ka kasi at sakim sa pera..share your blessings…and lumingon ka sa pinanggalingan mo

Trillanes staged a coup to express his grievances against the corrupt government an now what? He is now a part of the corrupt people, he is on the side of Joseph Ejercito Estrada, who as we all know was the most corrupt president we had known, and is a good actor too. He has been doing a good acting to get the sentiment of the people that he is innocent when during his time the evidence was so overwhelming. What the opposition did was to turn the tables against the government. Here is what they did.
1. CHIZ ESCUDERO filed a disqualification case against the Judge Hilario Davide and tainted hes name branding him corrupt.
2. They gathered crowds to participate in their EDSA 3 which clearly we can see that the Estrada’s were behind, there was in fact a link that they funded the rally but was wiped out by the noise the opposition was maded.
3.Since the opposition cannot see something wrong with what Gloria Arroyo is doing, they went for his husband which is of course is most probably to be corrupt given that male who does wrong things are more believable that woman commiting corruption. This is where ALLAN PETER CAYETANO went into action, where he did nothing but accuse but never had proven all his accusation, so the Congress suspended him, but instead he fought back with allegations that the government is pressuring him.
4. They blamed the government for the political killings, and not participate in the investigation to get the sympathy of the people.
5. Since the midterm election was coming, they started conditioning the minds of the people that TU will cheat in the Visayas the Mindanao, the place where Gloria Arroyo won. They pointed out that there will be a massive cheating in Central Visayas,stupid enough(Cebuanoas are just too intelligent to give in to their sympathetic acts).

As we can all see the stage is now set for another impeachment. Since their leader(Erap)was removed into power by an impeachment,then they are removing the president through the same process.
But inspite all of these are economy is doing well, if they should have cooperated, there could have been another 50% positive change.
The opposition never gave a chance for Gloria Arroyo to concentrate in her economic programs. If they will push through and be successful in this impeachment, then all the economic gains this country has will be gone in vain…That is how selfless these politicians are…These are the OPPOSITION. The more poor people suffering, the better, because they can condition their minds to fight against the government.. they don’t love thier country.. they hate it.

leslie, in my view, the sentiments manifested by the people in this recent election both questions the legitimacy of Mrs. Arroyo’s presidency AND the way the government is being run.

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?

How about corruption? Whatever happened to the administration’s cohorts responsible for the Fertilizer scam? How about the Garci-scandal cover-up?

Participate with government in the investigation of political killings? Would you participate in an investigation with an involved suspect?

Economy going well? For whom? For which section of society?

When one opposes Gloria it doesn’t mean that one opposes the country.

Never equate Gloria for our Beloved Country, because the country are its people; and the people are highly displeased with Gloria.

ano ba yan parang inerase yata ung comment ko kanina… di ko na makita…

pano ba aasenso ang pilipinas kung ang uupo sa senado ay puros na lang mga rebelde tulad ni trillanes, na puro lamang salita…

pareha lang sila ni cayetano and escudero… bakit may mga bill ba silang na pass sa congress? puro lang paninira sa administrasyon ang ginagawa nila…

He who thinks that Erap is rotting in jail is ignorant. Anybody who thinks that Gloria is to blame for peoples misery does not have a clue on what they are talking about. The reason why Gloria can’t be ousted is because, she feeds her soldiers. Anyone who responds to every message who claims to work abroad is lying. Trillanes is a nut job who needs to see a psychiatrist, or maybe write a song with Lito Camo about “Oplan Dis” Oplan Dat”. I’m tired of his Oplan rants. Arroyo may not be the best choice, but she will do for now. Erap is the worst.

Its time for me to speak in behalf of those who knew what happened during the 2004 election in several parts of Mindanao because its happening this year’s 2007 election again and it will happen once again and all over again. I voted for Trillanes because his accusations against the administration of GMA is true. I work in a banana plantation in Datu Paglas, Maguindanao and even the apointed barangay captain & his councilors even voted twice or thrice. Even several of our field workers voted five times upto maximum of seven times!!!! What a mess!!! This is happening in that place because simply the people can be easily manipulated and even to the extent of killing fellow human beings can be easily done. Its a shame because they are so proud telling us their stories, how they voted for a couple of times and how the inspectors convincing them to vote for GMA and her party mates. Now, its happening again even to the extent of pointing a gun to a teacher just to fill up Team Unity. Worst, the Armed Forces of the Pinas is doing nothing!!! Because they are manipulated also (tsk tsk tsk). Its time for us to vote for someone who seek for truth, who doesn’t afraid to face the corrupt government and that’s why Trillanes is winning simply because he stood firm on his principles. Even here in Davao City where our Mayor’s supporting Team Unity, they failed to get our votes. It favors GO 8-2-2!!! Trillanes is in 9th place. Its time for a major revamp of COMELEC or our whole electoral system so that there will be a fair election this coming 2010.

Currently the will of the people are not focused in the academics of snazzy lawyers or how many bills a Congressman submit.

The people are seeking fiscalizers and leaders who courageously face abusive and corrupt people in power. And that is what is reflected in the National Elections.

People doesn’t want bureaucrats who twist the spirit of the law for their selfish ends, they are seeking leaders who would face up to those who abuse, manipulate and profit form the ill use of power.

[...] A vigorous debate in the comments section of An ‘Inconvenient Truth’ (or, Why Trillanes could win). [...]

salina,

erap is a better person than gma? do you both know them personally? you ask why, if erap is indeed a plunderer, it is not proven? do you remember that envelope that was supposed to contain evidence, do you remember that it was not opened and why it was not opened??? doesn’t anyone remember what happened during erap’s term? you say erap is a better person and president, can you please make an impartial list of everything that he has done as against everything gma has done throughout their lifetime, most especially during their political career, to prove this?

You say that it is because of the OFWs remittances that helped the economy. Why, were there no OFW remittances during Erap’s time? there are, right? how come they did not achieve what the gov’t has achieved now? How many investments and jobs have been created during eraps term vs. gma’s?

While i do not dispute your perception of trillanes’ character, i beg to differ on a lot of the things you said. it seems your vote is not only cast upon trillanes’ character, it is also about your dislike of gma and your love for erap. it is not about what this country deserves, it is about removing gma from her seat.

tell me one thing, what have YOU done to help this country progress?

i am not saying that we kiss gma’s a**. what i’m saying is that while we can voice out and try and correct the wrongs things she may be doing with her administration, we can also work with her on the good things that she is doing for this country. let us learn when to criticize and when to come together to help this country.

Gloria already knows the wrong she and her allies are doing. It’s a matter of digging into her conscience, that is if it hasn’t frozen in complete stasis yet.

She simply have to review recent history of her shenanigans for her to start changing her style ASAP, one of which is to stop abusing Executive Orders to implement a de facto dictatorship. This reminds me of how Marcos wielded his Presidential Decrees to do the same.

hirap kasi makisama at magtiwala sa mga mandaraya at mga taong plastic. kaw na lang youngpatriot mag isa makisama baka sakaling gawan ka rin nya ng monumento o malay mo yun macapagal boulevard gawin nyang youngpatriot boulevard di ba?

I usually do not wish to spell out what a person ought to do for we are all blessed by God with a conscience. But just in case the point is missed, I would spell it out anyway…

Gloria have first to remove her dictatorial manipulations via Executive Orders, stop pampering and hiding corrupt allies, stop stifling investigations regarding corruption by absolute transparency, stop stifling democratic rights especially of freedom of right of speech and assembly, stop Charter Change initiative, stop supporting dishonest elections, stop associating herself from shady characters including illegal gamblers, be true to her word that her term would invariably end by 2010, and institute a transparent, accountable, and honest governance.

This is simply the first step in her long way to redeem herself from her manifold errors. If she does these for starters, there might still be hope for her after all.

I really don’t know why you’re asking me that. The entire world knows that there is no solid evidence against Erap. But there is solid evidence against Gloria Arroyo. Not atleast you’re only playing stupid. My god! wake-up so that you’ll see the truth right in front of your eyes.

I don’t need to explain to you anything, Go ahead and check all the record that its been throw at Erap. If you don’t understand asked the Lawyer who can explain to you what its means. Because all the evidence is there for everyone to see. You’re not blind arent you? Then I advice you to check on all the record.

Even me, I thought that Darlene, Going to lose for sure. I’m glad I was wrong! Gloria Arroyo, Endorsement is a kiss of death. You’re abusotely right, If Pacman really want to help the poor people he don’t have to be a politician.

The results of the recent election manifest the sentiments of the people. It may not necessarily questioning the legitimacy of Mrs. Arroyo’s presidency, rather the way the government is being run. Yes, we may have achieve some improvement in the economy, but this would not mean that we have to close our eyes and ears on the way they run the government. This country, will never achieve the peace and unity it has been longing for, for the past years as long as the likes of Gonzalez, Puno, Abalos and Ermita are in the government. Look what they have been doing right now! Ermita stopped the proclamation of Leviste, Abalos stopped the counting of votes at Binan for mayoralty candidate and Puno now pushing the cases against Trinidad…People are no longer taking these sitting down…the administration with all of these actions are becoming more and more UNPOPULAR. They need not wait for people to raise their arms.

I’ve never known a people sow so much intrigue among themselves. Intrigue breeds hatred and we’ve come to this because we can never let go of the temptation to talk cheap against one another. I hope people would just keep their negative sentiments aka “crab mentality” and the propensity to “tsismis” all to their good selves. Let us help the government govern the nation instead of pulling it down. We will have to give our leaders the authority to govern and hold them accountable for it. History will jusdge a leader whether he/she has done the country good or otherwise.

Fr: Salina.

Brice887. Gloria Arroyo, Has been squatting in malacanyang palace for over six years. How much longer are you willing to take of her bullshit. Not me! I had enough. Tama na, Sobra na!

Napakahaba naman ng inyong sinulat. Halos di ko na nabasa lahat, nakakasakit sa mats. Lalo na kapag may mabasa ako na pabor kay GMA (never-been-Philippine-president-in-reality!), ‘kupo, nakakasawa!

Ang masabi ko lang ay kung mapapatunayan ni Trillanes na siya ay isang mabuting senador,eh ba’t itatanggi natin sa kanya ang Senado. Maraming mga nakaupo na rin diyan na madaldal at ang tanong ay nakatulong ba sila sa naghihirap na bayan?

Kesa naman sa ibigay mo ang Senado sa mga Senatoriables na may kinalaman sa makinarya ng pandaraya ngayong halalan 2007. Kitang-kita mga mare at kumare, hindi pa nakaupo ang mga iyan, ay gumagawa na ng milagro…’ka nga, kung nakatakip ng kumot ang mgs iyan ay kung anong milagro ang gagawin - iyan ba ang ating gustong iluklok sa Senado.

Tama ang iba diyan, panahon na ng pagkakaisa, pero para saan? Magkaisa para manatili sa pwesto si Gloria. Bakit ano ba ang napala ng Pilipino ng si Gloria ay naupo? Kung may makakasagot, eh di mas maganda..Pero mas maganda kung nagkakaisa tayong baguhin ang sistema ng pamamahala. Ayaw natin ng labag sa batas, e kahit batas ng lokal ay di natin sinusunod. Sino ba dito ang hindi nakakakita ng taong naninigarilyo sa loob ng sasakyang pampubliko? Sino dito ang minsan ay nakipagsuntukan sa kabarkada o kaaway, ang naglasing at naglikha ng gulo sa isang matahimik na lugar. Kasi ayaw natin ng LABAG SA BATAS di ba?

Tulungan natin ang bayan. Pero bago ‘yan, tanungin mo muna ang ating sarili. Bayan, ano ba ang aking naggawa at dapat gawin?

Andy of SK.
Salina,

Please bear in mind that GMA was the duly elected vice president to Erap during the time that He was outed of the presidency. She also received an overwhelming votes from the people more than what Erap have received (votes). She did not steal the presidency then … it is her contitutional mandate to take over the presidency as a vice president when the president is ousted or incapacitated to govern.
********************
Fr: Salina.

Andy. Thank you, But I know exactly whats going on. I’m not blind or stupid. You don’t have to explain to me on how Gloria Arroyo, Kick the duly elected President Joseph Estrada. I know exactly what happen. In fact I saw it with my own two eye! convice somebody else who know nothing.

My heart breaks when I was reading the comments here. There is so much hatred. But if we summarize all the messages, we can see that we have a common ground: eliminate poverty in our beloved Philippines. We may be pro or against the administration but based on our messages, we only want Filipinos to have a better life. Now why dont we use that as our common objective to work together? If we really trully want to have a better life in Philippines, can we afford to set our differences aside? Can we afford to work with the opposition if we are pro-administration or work with the administration if we are pro-opposition? If we can sincerely say yes to this question, then Philippines really has some hope.

Politics affects the Philippines’ way of life so much. Its not the fault of the politicians, I believe. It is the people’s fault for letting them drag us into this mess and divide the people. If we really want to change the Philippines, we have to have an open mind. Please, I beg of you. Let’s stop this partisanship. Let’s not be naive. We can gain nothing out of it except more hatred, more chaos, more killings.

We all want to change the Philippines. That is the common truth. Philippines is a big country with more than 80M people with 7,100 (or more) islands. We can’t change it overnight. We can’t even change it for 5 or ten years. How fast we change the Philippines will depend on us, her people. Patience, my dear fellow Filipino.

You may hate Arroyo and love Trillianes or vice versa. But lets keep in mind its not them that we are fighting against. We are fighting against poverty and injustice. We are saying that we are siding with one politician because we believe in what they are fighting for. Can’t we fight for it by ourselves? Do we have to vote for them and die for them just to realize what they believed in? I think the reason why we are siding with politicians is because we are either lazy or does not believe in ourselves enough to do what we believed in. We need to elect someone we agree so they can do it by themselves so we can only watch it happen. I think this is our biggest problem. We elect people and we let them do it all by themselves and if they fail, we will just change them.

Although our politicians will play an important role in this change we want, it doesn’t mean that its them that will do the change. The change has to start within ourselves. Let’s start small. Let’s ask ourselves, what can I do? Be a good example to you siblings or to you kids or even to your parents. Abide the law even if others don’t care. Affect one person positively at a time. Let’s gather the people in our barangay and think of any positive ways that we can contribute to our community like improving our drainage systems to avoid floods and find ways to beautify our surroundings. Small things can go a long way. Let’s start from within us, then in our family, our community, and then let’s aim for national improvement.

I know we want to have a change as soon as possible. But this is impossible. Whoever is the president, instant change is not possible. Our people needs healing and unity. These cannot be achieved by having a single election. Unity needs learning and practice. Its a long road towards change. We have to understand that we need time to change. We have to be patient. I know this is not easy. Nothing is easy. But if we really want change, we have to face a huge wall and climb it one good deed at a time.

God bless the Philippines!

ANG SARAP MAGING SENADOR ! ! !

LET THE WHOLE COUNTRY KNOW THAT ELECTION IS MORE OF PUTTING AMBITIOUS PEOPLE IN POSITION WHO ARE GREEDY IN POWER, WEALTH & PRESTIGE THAN OF PUBLIC SERVICE… ANG MASAKIT PA PERA NG BAYAN PARIN GAGAMITIN SA ELEKSYON MALUKLOK LANG ANG MGA BUWAYA SA PWESTO!!!

GOLDILOCKS: Celebrating 40 Thoughtful Years.

Fr: Salina.

Haay, Naku! ginutom tuloy ako, Imagine “GOLDILOCKS” Aba, Pari! sige mag coffee muna tayo. At bigyan mo ako ng pandesal para maisawsaw ko sa coffee.

Base on the result of the national election we have an analysis:
1. The filipinos no longer want the present government.
2. The filipinos learned already from the past ” Erap case” , Richard Gomez, Cesar Montano didn’t make on the top. If you are a candidate without capability do not attempt to have a seat in the senate.
Our kababayans are now becoming high level individuals.
3. The filipinos don’t consider so much for the anomaly cases made by some candidates like Lacson, Honasan and Trillanes.
Lacson—- Many rumors of anomaly but has strong leadership. I hope he will be straight from now on
if he will attempt for presidency on 2010.
Honasan—-You can judge by yourself.
Trillanes—I did not vote this guy, but after a brief kuwentuhan to my friend who was working before at Purchasing of Airforce. Talamak talaga ang corruption sa AFP. I think AFP has the 2nd budgeted by the government. May mga voucher daw na pilit pinapipirmahan ng mga opisyal sa kanila example 3M, 2M, 5M amount pero actual walang delivery .(Ghost Delivery). These are spare parts of helicopter, plane etc. Kaya ang ginagawa puro daw remedyo ang nag susuffer yung mga gumagamit.
But now nagkahigpitan na because of the Oakwood Mutiny.

Who do you think the best person to lead our country?? Sorry wala ako marerecommend.

Criteria:
VERY STRONG LEADERSHIP.
LOVE FOR GOD AND TO OUR COUNTRY
WITH INTEGRITY and CREDIBILITY
INDUSTRIALIST and ECONOMIST ( I prefer he should have an engineering degree)
Why engineering degree? not a lawyer? A lawyer makes a law which is litterally a law.
An engineer makes a procedures and systems (Like an ISO) which is flexible, accurate and well defined. Ex. the RA 9184 (Government procurement Act) maraming loop holes for corruption dito.

Willing to implement.
—Firing Squad to convicted corrupt officials/government employees.
—Free education upto college level (State Universities)
—Help industrial companies to succeed (Like the case of Hyundai, etc.) Hire expats for every industrial companies.
—Must have priority in entrepreneurship for all Filipinos
If every family has a business from simple candle making upto sophisticated products(Car parts, Plane parts, etc) manufacturing. Exporting these products. I believe walang mahirap sa Pinas.
In China, every province has each own specialization of industrial products. Example Zhejiang, Wenzhou for Valves, Yingkou for pipes and fittings. Please take note that management level and professionalism we are far better than China but why few companies lang meron tayo. In China all
businessman usually starts at the age of 23. They venture in different trading and manufacturing.
Almost all products meron sila. Sa Pinas , ultimo gate valve lang walang gumagawa dito puro imported pa. Wala din tayong steel manufacturing plant (but we have natural resources).Now the China government is hiring many retired Japanese expat to help companies in China. Sooner gaganda din ang quality ng China. Same method din ang ginamit ng Skorea, they invite many Japanese expat kaya meron Samsung, LG, Hyundai etc.
Because of corruption also maraming government owned companies ang nagsasara. Bakit ang
PNR same ito ng JR (Japan Railways) which developed bullet train now they are exporting to other asian countries or Pantranco, bakit ang JAM, TRITRAN nagprosper.
I think 2 priorities dapat ng government for our country para makahabol sa other ASEAN countries.
1. Stop graft and corruption.
2. Entreprenurship, establish many exporting companies.Of course not only handicraft products but
also industrial products, sophisticated products and technical products.

Industrialization pa rin ang secret to have a progressive country. Kung may trabaho lahat
baba ang poverty, mawawala ang crime at tataas ang level ng pagkatao ng bawat pilipino.

I ‘m sure you wouldn’t be able to oppose the government as freely as you can now even under the secrecy of the Internet without an element of fear during the Marcos regime.
There is rampant poverty alright, but you cannot eradicate it overnight for sure. But I believe we’re on the right track. Economic indicators would show. And our peso exchange rate reached the 46 level after 6 years!
As I posted earlier, the constitution was amended during the Aquino regime to prevent a repeat of the Marcos dictatorship so that even high school graduates can run. Otherwise, FPJ wouldn’t be able to run.
Kaya hindi pa talaga handa ang tao natin sa tunay na demokrasya kasi karamihan ng populasyon natin mahihirap. Siyempre basic needs ang iisipin nila.
TO ALL WHO VOTED FOR TRILLANES
If he was truly against corruption, then why run under the GO banner instead of as an Independent as what Kiko Pangilinan did? And what are his platforms/agenda if any?
Yung vote niyo should be based on ISSUES at hindi parang statement against the President. Tayo din naman ang magdurusa kung yung mga hindi karapatdapat ang niluluklok natin sa puwesto. Malamang pag nakapasok si Trillanes ang gagawin lang niya laklak lang to impeach the President. Tapos wala na.
The anti-Trillanes are not showing themselves to be better. LAHAT naman tayo may mga dapat matutunan. Iba-ibang levels lang nga yung kailangan nating matutunan kasi iba-iba ang kaalaman ng tao. Kasi kung pare-pareho di dapat walang valedictorian, salutatorian etc. Gusto ko lang ipahiwatig sa mga botante natin kung ano ang nalalaman ko ngayon na nararapat isipin, kasi sinong magsasabi? Tayo din naman ang mahihirapan kung mali ang choice natin like I said earlier.
Kaya nabanggit ko nga sa earlier post ko yung pagiging divisive natin ngayong libreng-libre na tayong magsalita. Kaya nga yung mga tulad ni Salina naga-abroad. Although matatawag siya ngayong isa sa mga bayani dahil nakakatulong ng malaki sa bansa natin yung remittance niya ng pera sa bayan, nahihiwalay naman siya sa pamilya niya and that’s a big trade-off and sacrifice for her. If she’s able to find work here that pays well, I don’t think she will opt to go abroad for her family would come first.
Hindi ako nagpopost para makipag-away lang kundi dahil ang tingin ko kailangan kong ipahiwatig yung nalalaman ko para sa kapakanan ng LAHAT.
You have to give priority to the economy which I believe GMA is most capable of doing being a knowledgeable economist. This is why I’m calling on unity to all for disunity hampers the progress we all want. Then if we’re better off economically, we can deal with other issues.
Hindi ko na makita kung sinong nag-email nito – ito yung masasabi kong clarification
The reason why our exchange rate during the Marcos Era was high is because our rate was FIXED then by the government (supported then by the Central Bank). So it didn’t reflect the true picture of the economy but was deceptive, and this was funded by foreign currency borrowings. When he was ousted, the exchange rate was allowed to FLOAT, and this showed the true value of the peso so walang deception at hindi lolobo ng lbusan yung utang natin sa ibang bansa.

Before Unity there must be genuine change from within. If one of good character unites with somebody who is bad, chances are that the good will be corrupted.

Put a rotten tomato in a basketful of good tomatoes, we all know the result - everything inside will be rotten.

So to those who serve in government yet remain abusive and corrupt either change from within or get out from public office.

The good will not unite with the bad if the bad continues on his or her own merry evil ways.

No matter who wins- triallanes, escudero, legarda, etc, etc, etc., it will still be the same because the system itself is rotten. Those who are shouting “corruption” to high heavens will be the SAME people who will be the biggest thieves when they take over. It will be the same - from one BARANGAY OF THIEVES to another set of BARANGAY OF THIEVES. It will never end for so long as we do NO make examples of the crooks. The people who shouted MARCOS was corrupt: Binay, Maceda, etc., are the same people who are themselves corrupt! From a lowly human rights lawyer, Binay is now a BILLIONAIRE with landholdings as far as the Visayas (cock farms) and Mindanao (lumber). The cronies of Marcos: Enrile, De Venecia, etc., are back. The children are even in power: Bong-Bong, Imee, etc. IF WE HAD executed in PUBLIC all the marcos children and grandchildren until they GAVE back the wealth they stole, i doubt if anyone would dare steal. We could have started with the cronies or cousins- Imelda’s family who were left behind. Shot each one of them until the loot stolen were given back. What did we do? We voted them to OFFICE! hahahahahahahahahhahaa. It will be the same, sorry to say. Same people, same cronies, same corruption (even worse) and thousands of Jose Velarde and Jose Pidal.

Kawawa ang Filipino!

Ian the banana boy doesn’t have a clue on what Trillanes was complaining about. To refresh your mind; he wrote, and ranted about corruption in the military. I believe the accusation of her being a fake president came later. (2003) Oakwood, (2004) Presidential election. Dumbass

It’s not what your country can do for you , but its what you can do for your country…..

But ALL public officials have lied (except for a few good men of course) with their empty promises. ALL sorry to say engage in votebuying iba-iba nga lang ang levels depende sa popularity nila. Kaya yung pagkakapanalo ni Fr. Panlilio sa Pampanga is a step in the right direction kasi guarded ang actions niya because everyone knows he’ s a priest at yung makikipagdeal sa kanya hindi mago-offer ng bribe.
Pero right now unfortunately we are left to choose the lesser of two evils and I believe that GMA is most capable of doing this. Anyway, I’ve said my piece so we’re left to scrutinize their performance in the Senate. Kung puro ngawa lang ng impeachment ang gawin nila instead na magtrabaho, di tama nga ang theory ko na they’re merely riding on the current unpopularity of the president. Kung ganito nga ang mangyari, sana naman makita ng mga botante natin.

To those who think that GMA is all the reason for the economic comeback think again. Another month or so everything would slide back down to nothingness again… sheeeeshhh you people who support the government don’t know sh*t what’s happening inside the palace. No need to babble about it here. If we want change its got to be a drastic change. We’d be better of with a dictator than a mole with a face.

Fr: Salina.

Brice887. Gloria Arroyo, Has been squatting in malacanyang palace for over six years. How much longer are you willing to take of her bullshit. Not me! I had enough. Tama na, Sobra na!
*****

Salina. I hope there is not a lot of Salinas out there. Otherwise, there won’t be anyone capable of thinking rationally to put everything into its proper perspective and look for solutions to problems, without bursting into emotional atrophy!

Even in the light of a stunning rejection of the administration Senatorial cohorts (of course not yet counting the scandalous vote rigging in Lanao and Maguindanao [I wonder why they do not include a few parts of North Cotabato where cheating mechanism is also essentially the same]); Gloria’s mouthpiece, the ever inconsistent Bunye said that the administration rejects Velarde’s call for the President to abandon Charter change “for good.”

The intent to change the Constitution is there and so is the potential for opening the Pandora box of an unlimited Presidential or Prime Ministerial term.

Thus her sin remains.

i am the supporters of antonio trillanes who fought corruption of our country i believe in him sabi nga nila “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing” kaya kung walang trillanes walang lalaban sa katiwalian ni gloria arroyo at ang mga afp

tulad nitong si ralph recto gumawa siya ng batas na evat bakit siya gumawa ng evat para sa economiya daw pero kung true siya sa paglilingkod nya ang corruption talaga ang tinutukan niya lahat bawat pilipino apectado sa evat nya lahat ng bilihin tumaas ng 12 percent hindi naman talaga napupunta sa economiya yung vat na yun binubulsa lang ng mga corrupt na politiko at mga generals kaya dapat na natin baguhin ang sistema ng gobyerno vote trillanes is a vote for change

My point in this all is: Lets make examples by starting with the teachers and comelec officials who cheated. Lets have them beheaded in luneta. one or two lang. And then convict and behead one public official. Believe me, CORRUPTION in government will stop. Now as for corruption in the private sectore, thats another story. But we have to be firm and make examples of the guilty. Lets send a strong message and not just express our opinions to high heavens while the corruptors laugh their way to the banks!

By doing that (beheading in public) we dont damage the economy like what a coup de ta would do. And we would be sending a strong message. Steal and you’d have your head separated from the rest of your body.

It is brutal and very unchristian. But if THAT is the only way we can send a message, so be it! Whats the use of being christian (and catholic) but being labeled the most corrupt in ASIA? Let HEADS roll, so to speak.

Fr: Salina.

Pian: You can call on the filipino people and asked them to unite, But the filipino people is not about to listen. Ng dahil nakikita nila whats going on under the bugos regime of Gloria Arroyo. How can you support a Leader who keep lying to her teeth. Kahit huli na sa acto, Hindi pa aaminin. Her, cronies just cover everything up. Kaya most of us sinusuka na siya.

You were saying that the economy is look good for six years, And we’re hidden in the right direction. Is that so! I guess you really believe all her lies. If the economy is really booming why is it there is more filipino people ang nagugutom. Ever since she squatt in Malacanyang Palace. If is not the OFW money remittance the Philippines already went bankrupt. And you knew it too.

When Gloria Arroyo, Said she’s going to create job’s, She didn’t say where. The job creation she’s talking about is selling the filipino people to the highest bidder. working abroad. Although I’m glad atleast we can work and be able to sent money back home so that our family can survive.

What a shame, Filipino people are very smart its a shame that our brain well be waste working in another country. The only way the philippines can prosfer if there is more jobs available in the philippines. And get rid all the corruption that eaten our economy.

fmejia
My heart breaks when I was reading the comments here. There is so much hatred. But if we summarize all the messages, we can see that we have a common ground: eliminate poverty in our beloved Philippines. We may be pro or against the administration but based on our messages, we only want Filipinos to have a better life. Now why dont we use that as our common objective to work together? If we really trully want to have a better life in Philippines, can we afford to set our differences aside? Can we afford to work with the opposition if we are pro-administration or work with the administration if we are pro-opposition? If we can sincerely say yes to this question, then Philippines really has some hope.

Politics affects the Philippines’ way of life so much. Its not the fault of the politicians, I believe. It is the people’s fault for letting them drag us into this mess and divide the people. If we really want to change the Philippines, we have to have an open mind. Please, I beg of you. Let’s stop this partisanship. Let’s not be naive. We can gain nothing out of it except more hatred, more chaos, more killings.

We all want to change the Philippines. That is the common truth. Philippines is a big country with more than 80M people with 7,100 (or more) islands. We can’t change it overnight. We can’t even change it for 5 or ten years. How fast we change the Philippines will depend on us, her people. Patience, my dear fellow Filipino.

You may hate Arroyo and love Trillianes or vice versa. But lets keep in mind its not them that we are fighting against. We are fighting against poverty and injustice. We are saying that we are siding with one politician because we believe in what they are fighting for. Can’t we fight for it by ourselves? Do we have to vote for them and die for them just to realize what they believed in? I think the reason why we are siding with politicians is because we are either lazy or does not believe in ourselves enough to do what we believed in. We need to elect someone we agree so they can do it by themselves so we can only watch it happen. I think this is our biggest problem. We elect people and we let them do it all by themselves and if they fail, we will just change them.

Although our politicians will play an important role in this change we want, it doesn’t mean that its them that will do the change. The change has to start within ourselves. Let’s start small. Let’s ask ourselves, what can I do? Be a good example to you siblings or to you kids or even to your parents. Abide the law even if others don’t care. Affect one person positively at a time. Let’s gather the people in our barangay and think of any positive ways that we can contribute to our community like improving our drainage systems to avoid floods and find ways to beautify our surroundings. Small things can go a long way. Let’s start from within us, then in our family, our community, and then let’s aim for national improvement.

I know we want to have a change as soon as possible. But this is impossible. Whoever is the president, instant change is not possible. Our people needs healing and unity. These cannot be achieved by having a single election. Unity needs learning and practice. Its a long road towards change. We have to understand that we need time to change. We have to be patient. I know this is not easy. Nothing is easy. But if we really want change, we have to face a huge wall and climb it one good deed at a time.

God bless the Philippines!

*********
Yes, Just about everything I know want change, Change for a better Philippines. and Yes! We can work as a team for better Philippines if we really want it too. Ang mahirap lang, How can we work together as a team for a better Philippines when the people setting in Malacanyang Palace the one doing the Plunder.

You were saying that we can do something in our barrio to make a different. Yes, You’re absulotely right. I’m not rich’s I work very hard for my money but I’m trying my very best to help my family and my ka barrio. If we can help other’s even just a little bet its really make a different.

TO SALINA
Yun nga ang sinabi ko sa previous be-mail ko na yung vote niyo should be based on ISSUES/PLATFORMS ng candidates, kung ano ang gagawin niya para mapaunlad ang bayan, hindi dahil sa ayaw niyo kay GMA.
Gaya din nabangggit ko sa previous post ko, kung ayaw niyo kay GMA dahil nagsinungaling siya, di dapat lahat ng public officials tanggalin din (or most) dahil nagsinungaling din sila kasi puro pangako lang wala namang natupad.
Malaya na naman ang media ngayon, sila ang nagreport at hindi Malacanang. 45 na nga daw. Hunger is prevalent pero hindi mo maiaalis yon ng 6 na taon kung waatak-watak tayo.
So ine-expect mo si Trillanes makapagbibigay ng trabaho? Anti-corruption daw siya pero tumakbo under GO? How consistent is that?

I never voted Trillanes because of it really send a wrong signal to the people. Remember the saying “The end does not justify the means.”

For your info, it is not a fact that GMA cheated and it is not a fact that GMA lied. Even Winnie Monsod in her article in Inquirer, she believed that GMA really win in the 2004 election and the opposition cannot accept that FACT and I guest you are one of them.

What can you expect from people supporting Trillanes? They all like illegal things…Trillanes is a leader of a coup d’etat and that is illegal…the wiretapping of “Hello Garci” is illegal whether it is true or not.

Why vote for criminals? Is it enough that they have principle? Is it really principle or self-serving thing.

GET REAL…TRUTH IS ARROYO WON THE ELECTION
Solita “Winnie” Collas- Monsod
Inquirer News Service

IT HAS been said that if you repeat a lie often enough, people
will start thinking it is true. And this has obviously been taken to Heart by
various groups and individuals, who peddle their lies as
“truth.” Unfortunately for them, there is another saying:
“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and you can fool
all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the
people all of the time.”

Let us try to “unfool” the gullible and/or expose the weak
underbelly of one of the “truths” being peddled.

Item: “Gloria Arroyo is an illegitimate president [because she
cheated to win].” This has been repeated most often, probably
because the further claims of her detractors are based on this
assertion, claims such as “she does not have to be impeached to kick
her out,” “her illegitimacy makes it impossible for her to
govern effectively” (so she must be made to resign or be kicked
out), “she is not credible,” etc.

Let’s jog our memories a bit:

1. Voter preferences in the run-up to the 2004 elections, as
recorded by the Social Weather Stations (SWS), which conducted polls every
two weeks since the start of the campaign period, showed that while at
the beginning (Jan. 16-28) the lead of Fernando Poe Jr. over Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo was almost 10 percentage points (36.3 percent vs.
26.5 percent), this was whittled down so that a month later, they were
running neck-and-neck, and this continued into March. By the second
week of April, the polls showed Ms Arroyo ahead by almost five percentage
points (35.3 percent vs. 30.8 percent), although this was not
statistically significant (i.e., it still could go either way). But
by the week before the elections (May 1-4), Ms Arroyo’s lead over Poe
was significant (37 percent vs. 30 percent).

The other major polling organization, Pulse Asia, also noted the
same trend, although its polls were taken at slightly different time
periods:
an increasing trend for Ms Arroyo and decreasing trend for Poe. Its
last poll, conducted from April 26-29, showed Ms Arroyo leading, 37
percent vs. 31 percent.

Note that a six-point lead in voter preferences, if translated
into actual votes, would imply a difference of 2.0-2.5 million votes
between the two candidates, depending on whether we use total votes cast or
total registered voters as base.

2. Exit polls conducted on election day itself by at least three
media organizations (although only one of them may have used acceptable
polling methods) validated the run-up polls. All of them showed Ms
Arroyo as the winner.

3. The final official congressional canvass showed Ms Arroyo
getting 40 percent of the votes cast, while Poe got 36.5 percent (a
difference of 1.1 million votes), while the Namfrel Quick Count, based on 83 percent of total precincts (the election watchdog group Namfrel was
not present in all precincts), showed Ms Arroyo with 39.4 percent and
Poe with 36.8 percent (a difference of 700,000 votes).

well….convince somebody else who know nothing. Doon sa maguindanao marami kayong maloloko.

Like I’ve posted earlier, ALL politicians (except for some) cheat but on different levels. ALL lied with their empty promises. We are left to choose the lesser of 2 evils.

to abe,

hindi kaya kayo ang niloloko ng mga oposisyon? Kapag natatalo sila, sisigaw sila ng dayaan, only shows how pathetic these people are, and shows how greed for power blinds you from truth.

Wag kayong masyadong maniwala agad sa sinasabi ng oposisyon, hindi sila Santo, at lalung lalo na malayo sa karakater nila, isama mo pa ang ng leftist group (Bayan Muna) and pagiging matapat sa Bayan.

The way I see it, magaling ang oposisyon sa propaganda kasi alam nila kinakagat ng mga katulad ninyo.

Steps in Making Propaganda (Oposition Style):

1. Planning (usual target: Administration)
2. Execution of the Plan(Costs over a million for the production cost)
3. Give Information to the Media (Parang mga oto-oto ng Oposisyon)
4. Point a finger to the Palace
5. Recieve more Media Exposure
6. Acquire the Sympathy of the ignorant Masa
7. Be popular and pretend to be the defender of the truth
8. Be very popular
9. Run for Senator or public office
10. Win

This is the very same method applied in Oakwood Mutiny, in the Exposure of baseless anomalies by Cayetano, The usual method used by Lacson, and currently the Maguindanao 12-0 votes. Akala nila lahat ng tao naloloko nila, well they better recalculate thier methods kasi pag parati mong ginagamit, nasisira, nabubulok.

Poor Solita Monsod, haven’t been to election hotspots in Mindanao personally yet had the gall to do armchair analysis. Go there Solita that you may know.

Steps of the corrupt in administration to get out of incriminating situations and exposes.

Step 1 - Deny

Step 2 - Deny

Step 3 - Deny

If the third step still does not work, go to back to Step 1.

“Poor Solita Monsod, haven’t been to election hotspots in Mindanao personally yet had the gall to do armchair analysis. Go there Solita that you may know.” Kabayan
*******************************
Kabayan,
I give Solita Monsod explaination more weight anytime versus your baseless insinuations.

Mindanao, specifically Maguindanao, Sultan Kudarat, Lanao del Sur, North Cotabato (i know better) are always electoral hotspots due to intense competition among political families, whoever sits in Malacanang. I don’t see your point in linking the presidency to just about any misdemeanor in your country.

GET REAL…TRUTH IS ARROYO WON THE ELECTION
Solita “Winnie” Collas- Monsod
Inquirer News Service

IT HAS been said that if you repeat a lie often enough, people
will start thinking it is true. And this has obviously been taken to Heart by
various groups and individuals, who peddle their lies as
“truth.” Unfortunately for them, there is another saying:
“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and you can fool
all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the
people all of the time.”

Let us try to “unfool” the gullible and/or expose the weak
underbelly of one of the “truths” being peddled.

Item: “Gloria Arroyo is an illegitimate president [because she
cheated to win].” This has been repeated most often, probably
because the further claims of her detractors are based on this
assertion, claims such as “she does not have to be impeached to kick
her out,” “her illegitimacy makes it impossible for her to
govern effectively” (so she must be made to resign or be kicked
out), “she is not credible,” etc.

Let’s jog our memories a bit:

1. Voter preferences in the run-up to the 2004 elections, as
recorded by the Social Weather Stations (SWS), which conducted polls every
two weeks since the start of the campaign period, showed that while at
the beginning (Jan. 16-28) the lead of Fernando Poe Jr. over Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo was almost 10 percentage points (36.3 percent vs.
26.5 percent), this was whittled down so that a month later, they were
running neck-and-neck, and this continued into March. By the second
week of April, the polls showed Ms Arroyo ahead by almost five percentage
points (35.3 percent vs. 30.8 percent), although this was not
statistically significant (i.e., it still could go either way). But
by the week before the elections (May 1-4), Ms Arroyo’s lead over Poe
was significant (37 percent vs. 30 percent).

The other major polling organization, Pulse Asia, also noted the
same trend, although its polls were taken at slightly different time
periods:
an increasing trend for Ms Arroyo and decreasing trend for Poe. Its
last poll, conducted from April 26-29, showed Ms Arroyo leading, 37
percent vs. 31 percent.

Note that a six-point lead in voter preferences, if translated
into actual votes, would imply a difference of 2.0-2.5 million votes
between the two candidates, depending on whether we use total votes cast or
total registered voters as base.

2. Exit polls conducted on election day itself by at least three
media organizations (although only one of them may have used acceptable
polling methods) validated the run-up polls. All of them showed Ms
Arroyo as the winner.

3. The final official congressional canvass showed Ms Arroyo
getting 40 percent of the votes cast, while Poe got 36.5 percent (a
difference of 1.1 million votes), while the Namfrel Quick Count, based on 83 percent of total precincts (the election watchdog group Namfrel was
not present in all precincts), showed Ms Arroyo with 39.4 percent and
Poe with 36.8 percent (a difference of 700,000 votes).

Fr: Salina.

Yeah, Right. Gloria Arroyo, Won alright. She won for cheating. And there is solid evidence. She’s nothing but a liar, cheater, murderer.

If she really win in May 10, 2004. Presidential election why is it they don’t want to open the ballot’s boxes, coc, sov. So that the whole truth will come out.

Is not only that they swear her in, In the wee hours of the night while the filipino people are sleeping. If they didn’t cheat then they should let those ballots boxes to open and check against all coc/sov.
But, NOOOOOOOOOO! they all cover-up! because they knows if they’re going to check the ballots boxes against coc/sov all their cheating operation will come out.
HELLO, GARCI….AMONG OTHER’S…..!

Just to let you know the filipino people had enough with this bugos regime of Gloria Arroyo. Its time to unite and kick her ass out from her stolen power.

TO SALINA
Yun nga ang sinabi ko sa previous be-mail ko na yung vote niyo should be based on ISSUES/PLATFORMS ng candidates, kung ano ang gagawin niya para mapaunlad ang bayan, hindi dahil sa ayaw niyo kay GMA.
Gaya din nabangggit ko sa previous post ko, kung ayaw niyo kay GMA dahil nagsinungaling siya, di dapat lahat ng public officials tanggalin din (or most) dahil nagsinungaling din sila kasi puro pangako lang wala namang natupad.
Malaya na naman ang media ngayon, sila ang nagreport at hindi Malacanang. 45 na nga daw. Hunger is prevalent pero hindi mo maiaalis yon ng 6 na taon kung waatak-watak tayo.
So ine-expect mo si Trillanes makapagbibigay ng trabaho? Anti-corruption daw siya pero tumakbo under GO? How consistent is that?
*************
Fr: Salina.

Pian: You’re absulotely right, We as the people should vote to those who can run this country better. So that we have a better Philippines. Like you said vote to candidates who have plata forma. Yes! Again. And what make you think GO candidate don’t have plata forma?

In order for our country to succeed we must get rid of corruption. If we don’t the Philippines economy will never prosfer.

Gloria Arroyo, Has been squatting in malacanyang palace for over six years. I heard nothing but promise, promise,…Nothing but lies, lies, to the filipino people.

As for Capt. Trillanes, Running under the opposition. If you remember he’s running as dependent but Erap, The one Adopt him on opposition. There is nothing wrong with that. As we all can see it. There is lots of filipino people who voted for him because they believe what he is fighting for. Amen: Mabuhay, To those to votes for Capt. Trillanes, And the opposition candidates. Thank You! and more power to you.

Mindanao has always been a rich source of fraud since time in memorial. We shouldnt be HYPROCITES to say fraud is just happening now in GMA’s term. It has been there since the time of Magsaysay. The operators dont care if its admin or opposition for so long as they are PAID. Its open season during elections.

meron dito nag comment about Cayetano, Trillanes & Escudero na puro daw sila dak dak walang batas na nagawa at walang plataporma.
si Trillanes me nagawa na kahit nakakulong, dahil sa dak dak nya hindi natuloy yung fake bombings na ibi-bintang sana sa mga Muslim, sa airforce daw ngayon wala na masyadong corruption kasi mahigpit na raw after ng Oakwood, yung dayaan sa eleksyon medyo nagbabantay na ng husto ang mga tao, actualy meron tayong bagong Trillanes sa Maguindanao si Bai yung teacher ( ang tapang nito nakataya buhay ng pamilya niya) Dak dak na rin, sana lahat ng me alam na kalokohan huwag matakot at dak dak po natin sa madla.
ang nakakatakot ay yung tahimik kasi pag tahimik me nag papatahimik sa kanila.
Kung si trillanes Tumahimik patay tayo. Meron dyan sa senado dating dak dak din ngayon tahimik na, mayaman na. Yun ba gusto nyong gawin ni Trillanes, Cayetano at Escudero?

For me win or lose, Trillanes have come all along the way to prove that this government is indeed corrupt. the people have learned everything and anything from Trillanes. our country now need a brave, fearless & honest person who can speak for the truth. and our people got it from this young fearless soldier. Its true that a vote for Trillanes is a vote against GMA and to this present government. And the people had spoken about it. the millions Filipinos who voted for Trillanes truly speak that our country is now feed-up with the lies, cheat, dishonest & a corrupt GMA.

Steps of the corrupt in administration to get out of incriminating situations and exposes.

Step 1 - Deny

Step 2 - Deny

Step 3 - Deny

If the third step still does not work, go to back to Step 1

—————————

To Kabayan,

If the third step still does not work, Post an error message “This problem is not caused by the current administration, the message will be sent back to the sender(Oposition)” Goto Step 4;

Step 4 - Check Oposition side
Step 5 - Prompt Result: “Bad sector found in the Opposition”

Step 6 - Remedy: “Delete Oposition, Remind Me Later, Do not Aks Me again, Quarantine Bad Sector”:

Actually Step 6 depend on the User (tayo po yun..wat you think?)

Kung kulang pa rin at hindi pa rin tayo kontento kasi hindi pa tayo sikat sa pag dak dak…cge pa dak dak pa Oposisyon, dak dak pa

I feel like SALINA is Allan Peter Cayetano himself of either one of the opposition… he strongly believes on what he thinks….pero bobo pa rin…opposition talaga…halos lahat nang mga comments na kumokontra sa oposisyon inaaway nya…OPPOSITION talaga..walang ginagaw kundi mang away..

Baka si SALINA ay crony ni Estrada…o di kaya isa sa mga mistress nya…hahahaha…..nakaka-awa naman siya…one of the masses talaga…nadadala sa sinasabi nang mga taong wlang prinsipyo..

Kung may prinsipyo si Trillanes, hindi sana siya tumakbo under Estrada..he is fighting against corruption when hes running under a corrupt person.

Where is the leadership and principle with Allan Peter Cayetano and Chiz Escudero? E, puro lang naman pang aaway ang kanilang ina atupag..if they really are they should set as an example like Loren Legarda and Manny Villar.

Tingnan nalang natin kung anong magagawa nila sa senado. For sure, they will only create inquiries and spend long hours of speeches against the administration.

The “walang plataporma” myth is just that, a myth. It was simply designed to veer away the discussion from the important unsuitably addressed issues like:

The administration attempts toward dictatorial rule, the attempts to abridge the democratic freedoms including the freedom of the press, right to free speech and freedom of assembly to name a few, the modification of the Constitution to suit their needs, the effort to resurrect the leftist bogeyman in order to persecute all even those in the political center, the cover-ups of corruption by administration allies, , the grave issue of modifying election results in the past and up to the present especially in election hotspots like Maguindanao and Lanao; this could go on… Please just research recent history…

Walang mali sa pag dak dak bai, ang mali pag parati yun nalang ginagawa mo at wala ka nang nagagawang iba. Alam mo ba nag pag da dak dak excessively leads to irritating noise..hindi lang dito sa atin kundi nakakarinig mga investors galing sa ibang bansa. Our economic competitiveness is jeopardized at sa huli tayong mga bomoto sa kanila ang kawawa. Ngayun, kung gusto nilang magdakdak, wag sila lumapit agad sa media kahit wala silang evidence, kasi nangangamoy baho nila. Yun lang po.

Not all GO candidates are pro erap.For Triallanes I beleived that if he will win as senator He can be the key for military improvement in our country (I hope)

SALINA is everything you said in this blog is true..Please prove that Estrada is not corrupt..And stop saying that GMA is a bugos president of Cebu, Cebu did not vote alone…I reminding you of your words…choose it well. The Cebuanos chosed the right decision,if there is a way that Cebu would have wanted out is for it not to be a part of this country. Ruled by people who considers themself are right when everything they say is wrong and not credible like YOU.

There are a lot of “rebels” nowadays because the government force them to do so…Same scenario on how Andres Bonifacio fought the law.Triallanes is the reincarnation of Bonifacio…Any question?? hmmmmmmmmmm…..

Looks like Trillanes will become a senator! Its no use griping.. I did not vore for him because I still believe that since he is an officer of the Philippine Armed Forces, he is bound to respect and take the regular course of actions for soldiers like him… no matter how hard and futile.. he is supposed to be a soldier! And should he win and it looks invevitable, I can still see the anger of revenge in his face now especially he may win convincingly. But sir Trillanes, please put this in your mind… that the large section of the voters voted for you not because they liked you but as a signed of “rebellion” against the administration? against the Armed Forces? against those dissatisfied with the whats-goings on in our Armed Forces? So, I strongly suggest you take this opportunity to removed that “ugly” face of revenge and study the hows of being a true senator and surprise us more by being a worthy and a true senator! and the next time around I may really and truly find you worth the while and deserving. Do not fail your new “constituents” at ang “masa” na - one time or another - nabanggit mo rin na pagsisilbihan mo ng totoo. Alisin na ang galit sa dibdib mo para ikatuwa ka ng bumoto sayo at ng mga magulang mo.. pati na rin kaming hindi nagbigay ng boto sayo.

The filipino people are aware what she’s doing the only problem is some of them they’re closing their eyes, They’re pretending not to see anything. But don’t despair because the filipino people starting to wake-up and they’re doing something about it. Just look what happen in Pangpanga thats her father home town. Her tuta loss sa pari. Mabuti nga. That well teach her a lesson she never forget. They reason they vote for a priest because they want change for a better pangpanga. Amen to that.

Nakakaawa ang mga pinoy. Di na natututo. Binoto si Trillanes. He doesn’t deserve to win. He doesn’t believe in the rule of law. The Military should NEVER get into politics. People like trillanes are dangerous. We should make an example of soldiers like him. He should be jailed for life. That’s what he deserves.

Hoy….Salina gising!!!

Cebuano support Aroyo kasi hindi sila gago kagaya ninyo.

At saka sa medya lalo na ang PDI, kung ang Pinas magaya sa Thailand nga magwagi ang coup d etat at umupo ang junta, tingnan natin kung makakapagsalita pa kayo freely kagaya ngayon. Sana hindi mangyari ang pingambahan ko nga may coup before Aroyo’s term is over. Kung mangyari to tapos na tayo…

Excuse me but I don’t agree with you saying the trillanes is a principled man. He failed to convince me why he has 12 vans registered on his name during the senate inquiry.

Second, that he has courage. Salina, Oakwood adventure is a calculated risk. Meaning, these mutineers know that they will not risk their lives because it is all for propagandas sake. You see, no single bullets was fired. Mind you, Trillanes is an ordinary navyman who haven’t experienced being in the line of fire.

I pity you for being one of the million filipinos blinded by his so-called ‘charisma’. maybe its the anti-gma sentiments that made him reached this far. Like cayatano, escudero, etc..

Salina,

Do you know the process? Why the opposition did not go to the Presidential Electoral Tribunal if they thought that GMA did not really won? Why Lacson did not go to Presidential Electoral Tribunal? Instead, they attacked PGMA with the Hello Garci so the people will think that it is real. Why do they want to open the ballot boxes in Congress? Because the administration will not allow it to open unless it will be brought up to Presidential Electoral Tribunal, which for your information, is in charge for all presidential protest. Now, they reaped the fruit of their attacks…many people believed the lies they have hurled against PGMA. Wake up Salinas…oppositions are using you…they made you believe that PGMA is corrupt, cheater and liar when in fact they are the one corrupt, cheaters and liars. (Go to Hell)

Trillanes will go the way of Gringo and company who were full of ideals but were swayed later by greed and monetary benefits. Triallanes has to “walk his talk” then maybe he would be different. But the temptations are just great and with our “rotten” system it will be the same. Only the personalities and names will change. And their will be more Pidal’s, Velarde’s…

When will it end?

The administration has miscalculated the stupidity of the masa. They wouldn’t even let Trillanes register as a candidate if they knew the possibility of him winning. Trillanes himself would never ever in his wildest dream think that he could win. Much to his surprise dumb voters elected him. Now can you see how dangerous the masa is? Jalosjos, Gringo, Trillanes. Before, they love to vote for actors; now they like jailbirds. stupid voters.

Yes, I’ve answering just about every posting here in this blog. What wrong with that? I only write what I think, And I’m not attacking anybody. I’m not like you, Nor Mrs. Pidal’s. Everything I wrote in this blog are true! If you can’t handle the truth its just too bad. Then magsama kayo ni Mrs. Pidal’s sa kangkunga. Got it….

ur not attacking anybody?

eh lagi mo yang minumura si gma…
di mo na sya nirespeto bilang president natin…

QUESTION has been plaguing me ever since the different tallies of the results of the 2007 elections became public.

Why is Antonio Trillanes so popular?

The truth is that I didn’t really believe he would make it to the final 12. I thought he was just filler for the Genuine Opposition (GO), a candidate they included in their slate just to fill the role of Rebel Leader. Yet here he is, No. 9 in the latest Comelec count, with 1, 260, 295 votes. Over 1.2 million people want Trillanes to become a senator!
***********************
Fr: Salina.

Hi, There! You make the right decision for voting to the person who you think can serve the filipino people better. Either he win or loss.

My entire family voted for him because we all believe what he represent. I always believe that he’s going to win this election. The only way he’s going to loss if the cheating operation of Gloria Arroyo, Well succeed.

AT nakikita natin they’re moving heaven and earth. And even if he loss just look how many people who voted for him, It just show that the filipino people fed up with the way this bugos regime run the country. The filipino people deserve better.

I voted for him, for the following reasons.

1. He has principles. (The reason for the Oakwood mutiny was the corruption in the upper echelon of the military. Most of us like to deny that this corruption exists, for who wants to believe that the nation’s defenders are the paid goons of politicians who cheated their way into power? But it does exist. And Trillanes fought against it.)
2. He has courage. (Seriously — he didn’t just risk his career, he risked his life and freedom to do what he did. That took guts. Some would call it stupidity, since he ended up in jail, but hey, he’s running for senator anyway.)
3. He has leadership qualities.

4. He has made his antipathy towards an increasingly dictatorial government clear

FR: Salina.

Yes, I agree! If is not for the magdalo soldier’s the corruption in AFP. Will never come out because this gov’t. Keep covering all the corruption because they’re one of them.

Capt. Trillanes, Speak for the filipino people who can’t speak for themselves. I hope he wins because we need somebody who can fight for us. Thank you, For voting for him and the rest who vote for Capt. Trillanes, Godbless and more power to you.

I think Trillanes is winning because he reminds people of everything that’s wrong with the GMA administration — while serving as a reminder that such wrongs can be corrected. Let’s face facts. GMA cheated. GMA lied. GMA either orders or tacitly condones the murderous activities of her generals. GMA takes credit for an improving economy, holding up as proof the stock exchange and the peso-dollar rate. All that shows is that the rich are getting richer, while the poor — well, you know how the rest of the saying goes.
*************
Fr: Salina.

Yep! So, Gloria Arroyo, Bragg about her so call rosy economy, Stock market went up, Peso went up! That is because they can manapulate the stock market/peso. And the only reason Peso went up not because of her good governance. Its because the money remmittance the OFW send back home. And I’m one of these people who keep sending money to our love one in order for them to survive.

If you remember before election Gloria Arroyo, Alone with business people lower everything down. But, After the election everything went up. If that is not manapulation I don’t know what is….

The only good thing about the peso went up is if the they’re going to pay the gov’t. Debtor’s! And its means the Philippines gov’t. Can borrow more money also. But, What so good about it. The philippines gov’t. Already drowning sa utang. Kaya back to drawing board. Napunta lang sa wala. Useless!!!

salina,

erap is a better person than gma? do you both know them personally? you ask why, if erap is indeed a plunderer, it is not proven? do you remember that envelope that was supposed to contain evidence, do you remember that it was not opened and why it was not opened??? doesn’t anyone remember what happened during erap’s term? you say erap is a better person and president, can you please make an impartial list of everything that he has done as against everything gma has done throughout their lifetime, most especially during their political career, to prove this?

You say that it is because of the OFWs remittances that helped the economy. Why, were there no OFW remittances during Erap’s time? there are, right? how come they did not achieve what the gov’t has achieved now? How many investments and jobs have been created during eraps term vs. gma’s?

While i do not dispute your perception of trillanes’ character, i beg to differ on a lot of the things you said. it seems your vote is not only cast upon trillanes’ character, it is also about your dislike of gma and your love for erap. it is not about what this country deserves, it is about removing gma from her seat.

tell me one thing, what have YOU done to help this country progress?

Fr: Salina.

YoungPatriot: Yes, There is OFW in Erap time but not thats much. Compare now,. Today OFW leave Philippines by Million’s, Not by hunder’s….And Yes, I remember the envelope of Jose Verlarde. Who can forget that.
If we all remember the Envelope wasn’t open until later on. After they open the envelope Erap, Is not the owner of that envelope and you knew it too.

The word is out: Jamby supported Trillanes. Jamby also supports Joma Sison. A vote for Trillanes is a vote for Sison.

FR: Salina.

How can we be sure Trillanes will not end up like Gringo who is involved in all sorts of rackets (smuggling, etc) when he is elected?

How can we be sure he will not lobby for his mistahs for positions in the military?

Let vote HUNDREDS of Trillanes if need be, but lets PUNISH those who steal and are corrupt.

Imagine, we havent even put those in comelec who cheated? We havent even placed Garcia in jail for all the corruption?

How can we send the message to those who will begin to loot from scratch- especially those who are hungry for power?

Lets begin by making an example.

Lets, have 2 or 3 cheaters or crooks “beheaded” in public with all the world to see, with full coverage in say, the Luneta.

Elections after elections, Politicians after politicans, Gringo, Binay, etc., etc., it will still be the same!

If you think Military is not supposed to interfere with politics, here’s my own opinion. Si Clinton, Dole, and Cheney just to name a few. These Politicians fought in WWII then came back to the mainland went to school and served/ serving the people very good. Si Prince Harry na assigned sa (Iraq or Afghanistan) he went to a Military training parang PMA sa England. Ang daming WWI veteran ang naka upo ngayon sa senate or house of the Representatives dito sa US. Why?
Nobody can judged Trillanes what he will do. That’s just plain ignorance, I understand some of you said he will do this, he will do that, Trillanes voters are stupid, maybe. Respect everyone’s views or opinions.

SALINA:
I am one of the Cebuanos who voted for GMA, I believe that she can make a change,however the people from Luzon does not seem to respect the votes from Visayas and Mindanao, apparently most but not all from Luzon thinks they are the greater majority and what they want should be done.
And please if you have some respect left, respect our votes, if she really cheated her way into office then all indicators and surveys should have pointed her to loose the elections,in fact the margins stated is exactly the million votes that made her win. And if the GO is really sincere and truthful on their allegations, they should have filed that in the right tribunal, not in the media. It is obvious that what GO wants is for the people to see her as a liar and cheater. Since GO cannot accept that they lost and I think all politicians do not accept defeat, what they usually do is create allegations to stain the winner’s name.

As we can see in the current situation, the GO is quite bullish in their idea of cheating, if they loose in an area, they immediately call it a cheat made if possible.

Apparently you are what the GO needs, people who immediately believes in unverified information.
There will never be unity amongst us if there are people LIKE YOU. Sana naman, mahiwalay na ang Visayas and Mindanao from Luzon. There will never be progress unless GO will continue their investigations and inquiries. Puro show lang naman yan. To get the sentiment of the people and make them think that GO is bearer of the truth. Puro naman hangin.

I am one of those against GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO. as a Filipino, not being from Luzon, Visayas or in Mindanao, We should enjoy the wealth of our country, especially the majority 98% Filipino, But few individuls maybe up to 2% rich and buisseness”chinese-filipino” rich men enjoying our wealth. I saw myself fighting against the ARROVO administration like that of Trillanes, my salute is on this fellow”anti-Arroyo”men. due to graft and corruptions, we suffered most while few individuals enjoying and feasting of the Filipino wealth. If we fight against Grafters like what will Trillanes can do, Maybe someday we will get back what the thefts have taken from us. GO Trillanes, I saw myself with you, Let’s keep on fighting for the majority Poor Filipinos, My God is on our Side. Amen.

Trillanes should get a chance to get in the senate, because he will fight for a lot of things, like the political killings, it is somebody’s life, they are human beings for christ’s sake have mercy on their family, their kids will grow up with no father or mother, its just freaking money. The corruptions in the Government, by far the worst. The economy, we’re getting next to Bangladesh. They’re saying the economy is good, peso is strong, do you really believe that ? they make it look strong for the upcoming elections.The un-employment rate is so high, so with the crime rate, no investment coming in from another country, no peace and order in any part of the country. Somebody has to stand up and fight, there will be a lot of pressure on Trillanes but I’m willing to put my money on this guy. This guy will and i’m sure he will, be our true leader to guide us to the next level. His late father was also a collonell(not too sure) PMA graduate also, and he was straight. If you think about it, most of the corrupt Military officers send their children to the most exclusive schools, not the Trillaneses. He got his chances to steal from the military depot if he wants to, like his father,but they never did it, he fought them instead, he can easily ask for some. Then he went to GMA palace he told them what he knew, but GMA disagreed and told him that maybe he was one of them?, No investigations was offered. Trillanes was pissed, so the Oakwood happened. If he would steal, Military is the best department to rake it, beacause it is mostly off limit to the public and the media. Trillanes simply wont do it, when he was in college at UP his Thesis was “anti corruptions in the Government and in the Military”. that was 15 to 20 years ago, meaning, he never changed, and do you think he will change?. . he wants to shuffle the COA (comission on audit) , do you know why?
I would say he wants them to help him.
To all Filipinos be creative, find a way to make a living, without offending another people. Do not wait for the jobs to come to you, get them.

What was it again with the 7 cars he owned unexplained? Maybe an explanation for being an expert on corruption….

To Amazed
Bagay yung pangalan mo sa yo kasi mukha ka talagang tangang taka eh. Amazed, si Trillanes ay the IV (the fourth)
meaning merong sr, II, III, IV, V kasi five siblings. 7 cars under one name Antonio Trillanes. Ibig sabihin 7 cars sa buong angkan ni Trillanes isa sa kanya at yung iba sa mga kapatid nya. Sorry akala ko walang maniniwala dun, kasi diba nga sinisira nila pangalan ni Trillanes. Yung pamangkin ko ngang 5 yrs old hindi nagpa gago ikaw pala naniwala, hehehe, try another one bro. Think of something that will amazed me, okey..

You know, youngsters are very idealistic nowadays that’s why figures like Trillanes are well favored. And they wouldn’t buy our ideas. We’re in a balance of idealism and realism. These youngsters are looking for a standard leader that will fit for a bleeding nation like Philippines but nowhere in this globe could they find one.
Trillanes would appear like “ideal” but his mutiny act is not absolved by his principles. The fact that he enticed media mileage to voice out his complaints and concerns wouldn’t also make him “ideal” as he used this for popularity. He didn’t have to incite “people power” to make reforms in the military. He should resign and go to other arena, like now, politics, as what simple pinoy believes.
He would likely win one seat in the Senate and let’s see what he will do. Then there everyone who voted for him will know if they were right.

Hi, There! I’ll guarantee you not all visaya voted for Gloria Arroyo, In May 10, 2004. Presidential election. I’m one of them. And I’m not going to hold it against you, Just because you vote to the candidates who you think can run this country better.

That is your right, As a citizen just like everybody else. But, At the same time we all know in fact that Gloria Arroyo, Cheated on May 10, 2004. Presidential election. Hello, Garci. Among other things!

The reason she cheated because she knows that is the only way she can stay into her stolen power. Correct me if I’m wrong! I know damn well I’m right.

This election the reason her candidates are losing because the filipino people is not blind not to see exactly whats going on. They can see whats happening! Therefore WE JUST HAVE A PEOPLE POWER VOTES. Because we know if we are only going to the street, Or take our complaint to court. Nothing good well happen because her corrupt judges just going to swipe it under the rugs! And we all knew that. There should be a lesseon to be learn here.

Whatever you were saying about the opposition, Most of it is not true! and you knew it. Galit ka lang ng dahil your candidates are loser! Its means cebu is not going to get all that money Gloria Arroyo, Has promise! As we can see, Cebu already getting plenty of money from the gov’t. Because she won in cebu in May 10, 2004. Election. Even though all the ballots are questionable. Yeah, You guess it right. NOT ALL VISAYA VOTED FOR HER. REMEMBER SALINA, ET AL……

AND BY THE WAY, YOU’RE TELLING ME TO GO TO HELL. WELL, YOU’RE COMING WITH ME. HA HA HA HA……

JJJ,

Actually what Gloria means by “rule of law” is “Gloria and Her Adviser’s Rule of Law”, i.e. “Dictatorial Rule by Executive Orders.”

The idealistic are often motivated by action rather than mere words, that is Trillianes’ strength. Trillanes way of protest is far from the ideal way, however desperation because of the inability of government to remove corruption and abuse especially in the highest rungs of power led many of our countrymen to decide this choice. The ossification of in the AFP heirarchy in rooting our corruption in their institution exacerbated it even more.

Thus a choice by many Filipinos for a Trillianes in Senate was made. Not exactly the legal way but the adage “kapit sa patalim” has gained greater meaning in this situation.

For example in http://magdaloparasapagbabago.blogspot.com/

There is an Oath of the New Katipuneros which states as such:

1.I am willing to lay down my life in the pursuit of the Vision
2.I will be loyal always to the National Interest
3.I am willing to be a catalyst of change of an oppressive and unjust society into one that advocates equality and social justice
4.I will respect human rights
5.I will not commit any acts of corruption
6.I will live a modest life commensurate to my legal means
7.I am willing to be punished should I betray any decree of this oath
8.I am doing this supreme act of sacrifice for God, Country and People with no promise of reward, compensation or recognition

How can one not be drawn with such principles; and principles that had been translated into action. This has been lacking for so long in this country and now many Filipinos are now looking for this principles in our leaders, “Sa Isip, Sa Salita at Sa Gawa.”

From lala30
I agree with Trillanes in his view that there should be no communication between the anti graft and corruption agency and the official in question to avoid tampering of evidence and bribery which i think is a common occurrence in Philippine politics. I, however, disagree in his promise to join the bandwagon in impeaching the president if he gets elected in the senate. Why start your service by focusing on chaos and negativity. I understand the president’s credibility is in question but shouldn’t he start his term by focusing more on what needs to be done to help the people? Let the proper agency deal with the other officials crime and he should be looking into programs that are already in place and find out why they do not work in alleviating our day to day issues. The first agenda that the newly elected officials should delve into is to look up the systems in place and find out why we are still categorized as one of the “third world countries”. They should be proactive and focus on finding out the solution instead of spending their energy finding fault from each other.
——————–
To Lala30
You’re right honey. But I think Trillanes wont pursue impeachment. He was even asked about it like, ” How could you not, she was the one who throw you in jail?”, and he even praised her for what she is doing with the economy. So I guessed we chose the right man. He understand the aftermath, the chain reactions, the undealable process of the law, in short all the bullshit. This man has a vision.
Now to all the supporters of Trillanes don’t feel bad, I think he’s doing the right thing. He’s thinking about the country and the people above all. God bless the Philippines, I will go home if they set him free. I missed my chance with Ninoy I dont wanna miss the next one. God bless, peace out!!!

They use the media to tell the pople on lies which they cannot even prove?
Tell people to blame GMA for all the misgivings of the country? Instill anger to the people so that the sympathy will be an advantage of them? I am not a pro- administration guy, but what the opposition is doing in this country is wrong.They are destabilizing the government. Plus that they kissed the hands of a corrupt man(Erap) so that they can have funds for the election. Anyway you opposition is winning, I just hope that they will stop their ‘papogi’ sa media and create more laws than accusations to create more hatred. Cebu did not get any money from the government, Cebu is booming because of the investors,kung ganyan ka-bobo to know about progress then go on, anyway what you think is always right.

Do you speak with open mind? Do you really know what the media reports or telecasts? I doubt it!

They fight for the TRUTH and these aren’t allegations without substance. Their “protest” speaks of “WHO REALLY WON IN THE ELECTION..WHO DID THE FILIPINOS VOTE!!! Do you not want the TRUTH to win over evil and injustice??? Something’s wrong with your PRINCIPLE if you say YES! Many reports can back-up the “SOUTHERN CHEATINGS”..if you do not believe our local media then perhaps you should listen to foreign reports..they too keep reports on mismanagements, cheatings, dishonesty and the like..

Now this is a true example of a “naive ALLEGATION”, “plus that they kissed the hands of a corrupt man(Erap) so that they can have funds for the election”. GROW UP!!! Did you not know that during the campaign, the government of your beloved Madam President Arroyo used funds of some government agencies?

My allegations are not NAIVE, I just don’t jump to conclusions when politicians exposes evidences to the media, they are in office, and we have the proper courts for their allegations to be proven.The media is just a tool to present the current issues, it is neither factual unless proven by the court, it is injustice for the cheating to be blamed solely on TU as you are implying. Don’t think that GO is not capable of cheating,because every politician does.

“PLAN CO REVOLT” isn’t that destabililization? They are in the system and yet they speak like rebels.

Compare the media here and in other country and see which media is bias. You have bias judgement, just because the media presented evidences does not mean it is true or all of it is true. Don’t jump to conclusions with the evidence at hand.

It is not a naive allegation,you have the naive allegation. Where did the GO got their fundings? They are also in office, almost all politicians uses government funds for their election campaign. You should probably WAKE-UP!

If Cebu did not progress because of the increasing foreign investors, where did it came from? Can’t you see the Classified Ads? You must be blind if you can’t read the rising number of companies investing it Cebu.If it is not PROGRESS, what do you suggest?

And since you are a government employee, I guess you salary does not really need to increase because of the poor service you have been giving to the peope. You start your job late and go home early. You do not have the quality service, except for the garbage collectors and the street cleaners.

TO XXXXX,
There can only be truth if the voting populace is not manipulable i.e. who vote with their minds, not with their hearts.

Some tend to view the decisions of voters are highly “manipulable”. However I believe that more people voted with good sense than many in the administration are willing to admit.

Gloria administration’s blatant attempts to derail democracy, twist the laws, protect corrupt allies and block investigations on anomalies are far too obvious for the people to forget each especially come election time.

That is why when election was still far off, they tried to derail the holding of this sacred right (knowing that they are likely to lose because of their past actions) by attempting to change the Constitution. Now election came and they lost, Gloria’s allies claim that the decisions of the voting populace was not well thought out.

The intent here is simple, Gloria administration simply wants to create a dictatorial style of government and if the people don’t want it, they blame the people that they are “dumb and emotional”. But before, they tried to get away with a Charter Change attempt claiming it is the “will of the people”, something which the people themselves reject as reflected in the last Senatorial race. This style of reasoning doesn’t fly and illogical at best.

The people see and understand more than what the administration think.

This is a very good warning to those in power that you can not fool the people all the times because there are more Senator Trillanes who will come out to correct your wrong!!!
Filipinos at this time are more VIGILANT to the abuses of those in power.
The likes of Senator Trillanes, Major Jason Aquino, and others will come out to PROTECT the FILIPINOS. They are our NEW HEROES!!!

Dear Marius,

You speak of “destabilization, GO using the media to tell the pople on lies which they cannot even prove, GO telling people to blame GMA for all the misgivings of the country, GO instilling anger to the people so that the sympathy will be an advantage of them, etc…”

Do you speak with open mind? Do you really know what the media reports or telecasts? I doubt it! I believe there is this current “AD” which speaks against the Genuine Opposition..that they should stop their protests or allegations about cheating..creating a bad impression on the GOs…etc. Oh come on!!! They fight for the TRUTH and these aren’t allegations without substance. Their “protest” speaks of “WHO REALLY WON IN THE ELECTION..WHO DID THE FILIPINOS VOTE!!! Do you not want the TRUTH to win over evil and injustice??? Something’s wrong with your PRINCIPLE if you say YES! Many reports can back-up the “SOUTHERN CHEATINGS”..if you do not believe our local media then perhaps you should listen to foreign reports..they too keep reports on mismanagements, cheatings, dishonesty and the like..

Now this is a true example of a “naive ALLEGATION”, “plus that they kissed the hands of a corrupt man(Erap) so that they can have funds for the election”. GROW UP!!! Did you not know that during the campaign, the government of your beloved Madam President Arroyo used funds of some government agencies? I know it coz I am a government employee…why can’t they increase ou salary when in fact they can easily disburse illegally for their sake??

“Cebu is booming because of the investors,kung ganyan ka-bobo to know about progress then go on, anyway what you think is always right”…NO COMMENT!!!! God Bless Cebu!!

Fr: Salina

Cebu is booming because Gloria Arroyo, Give plenty of money to cebueno because she won in cebu by a million votes. If she’s really a good leader she spread the money all over the philippines where needed infrastructure. But she only give money to the place where the people vote for her. Even if these votes is by their cheating operation.

I’m glad this election most of the opposition wins. I hope they make a different. And start kicken the bugos President of cebu. I had enough with her bullshit. DITCH HER OUT. ITS OVERDUE!

Tell people to blame GMA for all the misgivings of the country? Instill anger to the people so that the sympathy will be an advantage of them? I am not a pro- administration guy, but what the opposition is doing in this country is wrong.They are destabilizing the government. Plus that they kissed the hands of a corrupt man(Erap) so that they can have funds for the election. Anyway you opposition is winning, I just hope that they will stop their ‘papogi’ sa media and create more laws than accusations to create more hatred. Cebu did not get any money from the government, Cebu is booming because of the investors,kung ganyan ka-bobo to know about progress then go on, anyway what you think is always right.

Sorry, Mister: But I didn’t see anything wrong with that. Because they’re only telling the truth. Its even worse what Gloria Arroyo, To the filipino people. And the people can see it with their own eyes!

This is one of the reason why the opposition won this election because the filipino people had enough. They can’t take it anymore under this bugos regime of Gloria Arroyo.

From lala30
I agree with Trillanes in his view that there should be no communication between the anti graft and corruption agency and the official in question to avoid tampering of evidence and bribery which i think is a common occurrence in Philippine politics. I, however, disagree in his promise to join the bandwagon in impeaching the president if he gets elected in the senate. Why start your service by focusing on chaos and negativity. I understand the president’s credibility is in question but shouldn’t he start his term by focusing more on what needs to be done to help the people? Let the proper agency deal with the other officials crime and he should be looking into programs that are already in place and find out why they do not work in alleviating our day to day issues. The first agenda that the newly elected officials should delve into is to look up the systems in place and find out why we are still categorized as one of the “third world countries”. They should be proactive and focus on finding out the solution instead of spending their energy finding fault from each other.
******************************
Fr: Salina

Capt. Trillanes, Is right! when he said that.

This is our last chance for peaceful way to remove the undersirables government so that we can progress!

He’s right. Absulotely right!!! How can the philippines move forward if the corrupt the one setting in malacanyang palace. Aber,. Tell me.

Kabayan
The idealistic are often motivated by action rather than mere words, that is Trillianes’ strength. Trillanes way of protest is far from the ideal way, however desperation because of the inability of government to remove corruption and abuse especially in the highest rungs of power led many of our countrymen to decide this choice. The ossification of in the AFP heirarchy in rooting our corruption in their institution exacerbated it even more.

Thus a choice by many Filipinos for a Trillianes in Senate was made. Not exactly the legal way but the adage “kapit sa patalim” has gained greater meaning in this situation.

For example in http://magdaloparasapagbabago.blogspot.com/

There is an Oath of the New Katipuneros which states as such:

1.I am willing to lay down my life in the pursuit of the Vision
2.I will be loyal always to the National Interest
3.I am willing to be a catalyst of change of an oppressive and unjust society into one that advocates equality and social justice
4.I will respect human rights
5.I will not commit any acts of corruption
6.I will live a modest life commensurate to my legal means
7.I am willing to be punished should I betray any decree of this oath
8.I am doing this supreme act of sacrifice for God, Country and People with no promise of reward, compensation or recognition

How can one not be drawn with such principles; and principles that had been translated into action. This has been lacking for so long in this country and now many Filipinos are now looking for this principles in our leaders, “Sa Isip, Sa Salita at Sa Gawa.”

Kabayan: This is one of the reason why the filipino people vote for him because they have faith on him. Don’t let us down Capt. Trillanes. He is the voice of the filipino people who can’t speak for themselves.

Thank You! Capt. Trillanes, And thank you, To the people who give their time and effort and help for his victory. And to those who make this thing possible for all of us. Thank you, God.

10,922,692 votes for Trillanes so far. Two thumbs up to all the Filipinos who made the right choice.

Trillanes needs 300,000 vote lead to be proclaimed
*****************************
Fr: Salina

I’ve saying it all alone that Gloria Arroyo, Et al. Are cooking the votes in Mindadanao because they don’t want Capt. Trillanes, Proclaim a winner. Even though he already garner a highest votes among these two candidates. They’re moving heaven and earth for him to loss!
BANTAYAN!!!
*******************************
Genuine Opposition candidate Antonio Trillanes IV needs to maintain a lead of over 300,000 votes after Monday’s canvassing before he can be proclaimed as senator, Commission on Elections Chairman Benjamin Abalos Sr. said Monday.

Abalos said Trillanes, who is in 11th place, is currently enjoying a 600,000 vote lead against his teammate Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III and Team Unity candidate Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri.

The chairman said at least 1.4 million votes from Basilan and Surigao del Norte were waiting to be canvassed by the COMELEC en banc who are sitting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBC).

He said if Trillanes maintains a 300,000 lead during Monday’s canvassing at the COMELEC office in Intramuros, Manila City, he may be proclaimed as senator this week.

COMELEC Commissioner Rene Sarmiento, meanwhile, said that based on the en banc’s assessment, Trillanes is in a safe spot and may be proclaimed “within a few days time.”

As of 4:30 p.m. Friday, Trillanes has garnered 11,056,717 votes in the COMELEC tally. He was followed by Pimentel (10,783,696), Zubiri (10,660,489) and TU candidate Ralph Recto (10,384,584).

Abalos said canvassing will resume Monday afternoon. He said certificates of canvass from the two provinces are expected to arrive at the COMELEC main office in Intramuros, Manila in the afternoon.

Abalos, meanwhile, said it will proclaim the 12th senator only after all the votes had been canvassed by the NBC.

COMELEC had said that based on the numbers of the last tally, there are still no sure winners of the 12th spot since Pimentel’s margin over Zubiri is only over 100,000.

He said his winning … was a statement from the people that they want change.’

Trillanes keeps the
fire burning

——————————————————————————–

Senator-to-be Antonio Trillanes IV of the Genuine Opposition does not disappoint those who trace the mess that this country is in to the illegitimacy of the Arroyo presidency.

Foremost, he never refers to Arroyo as “president”. Just plain Gloria Arroyo.

In his interview last Monday with ABS-CBN’s Ces Drilon, the first after he was granted post-election media access, he said he would work for the impeachment of Gloria Arroyo.

This categorical declaration, at this time when some of the opposition senators-elect are taking a magnanimous attitude towards the Arroyo, has elicited strong reactions.

It’s perfectly okay with me because I believe that no one who was ever elected by the people should hold the presidency. Given the many crimes against the Filipino people that Arroyo has committed, I believe such an undertaking is long overdue.

But I know of others who want a respite from wearying political hostilities. There is also the aspect that he was elected senator (I’m presuming that he will soon be proclaimed senator because he won) who would only be able to participate in an impeachment process if the Senate is convened as an impeachment court. An impeachment complaint is initiated in the House of Representatives.

Ces asked, given that the numbers in the Lower House do not favor of the opposition, would he still pursue his advocacy of Gloria Arroyo’s impeachment?

Trillanes’ reply: “The impeachment advocacy has been my campaign line because I believe that’s the only way for this country to move forward. We have lined up several legislative proposals which require primarily executive action. We can’t possibly expect these policies to be implemented by such a corrupt president. So I’m being straightforward to the people that we can’t do much as long as we have GMA as president.”

He said his winning the senate race despite all the odds – in detention, lack of funds, very few TV ads – was a statement from the people that they want change.

He sees the lack of numbers among the congressmen now as surmountable. He said his senatorial win broke several conventions in Philippine politics. “We have done practically the impossible. It shows it can be done.”

He elaborated how he is going to go about it. “If I can convince people to vote for me, I believe I can also convince congressmen to support impeachment. Or I can convince sectors of society to convince congressmen to support impeachment.”

In a separate interview with DZMM’s Anthony Taberna and Gerry Baja yesterday, he expressed the desire to be part of the Blue Ribbon and the Defense committees. I can imagine that through investigation in aid of legislation, he would be able to uncover more impeachable crimes committed by Arroyo.

Trillanes told Ces Drilon that impeaching Arroyo “is the only way to go. And I will keep on delivering that message. We can have change now, outside Gloria and move forward to progress. Or we can tolerate three years of what we have now with Gloria at the helm.”

He pursued the same line in his answer to ANC’s Ricky Carandang, who joined the interview from the studio. Asked about his legislative agenda, Trillanes replied that the legislative agenda he presented to the people necessitates the removal of Arroyo. He cited his anti-corruption position: “You cannot possibly expect and anti-corruption legislation to be implemented by a corrupt president. We have to be real about the situation.”

He said it’s the same thing in the areas of peace and order. He disclosed that he is in the process of conceptualizing a comprehensive Mindanao peace plan that will include conflict resolution, infrastructure development, enhanced economy and social services. “We can’t have this under GMA because GMA is the one responsible for the endless war in Mindanao. She had her chance. For six years, she mismanaged the country and right now, she can’t possibly say anything as regards the Mindanao war because she’s the one who perpetuated it.”

It will be recalled that when Trillanes and some 300 soldiers belonging to the Magdalo staged what is now referred to as the Oakwood mutiny on July 27, 2003, they disclosed the Greenbase documents which exposed the plan of Arroyo and her national security officials to control Mindanao for business interests.

To those who are concerned that he would not be a fair and impartial judge in case of an impeachment trial against Arroyo, he explained that impeachment is a political trial whose end is not criminal conviction but a change in political leadership.

“So the ultimate judgment is based not only on the overall political assessment (but also) of whether it is in the best interest of the country for the accused public official to continue serving in government.”

Four years of detention has not doused the fire of idealism that we saw in Oakwood. I like what I’m seeing.

Fr: Salina

I pity you! I can see that you’re hurting really bad. Because of your candidates is the biggest losser this election. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Wa wa naman.

And just to let you know hindi nasayang ang mga boto namin. Kahit na hindi siya ma proclaim senator elect. Just look how many of us voted for him, More than eleven million and counting.

If Gloria Arroyo, Succeeded on their cheating operation that Capt. Trillanes, Is not going to proclaim senator elect. Our votes is not going to waste because there is still something we can do. That I promise you!

A QUESTION has been plaguing me ever since the different tallies of the results of the 2007 elections became public.

Why is Antonio Trillanes so popular?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Fr: Salina

Capt. Trillanes, Is so popular because of what he said.

“THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE FOR PEACEFUL WAY TO REMOVE THE UNDERSIRABLES GOV’T. SO THAT WE CAN PROGRESS.!”

Thats really stick to people minds on what he said. Or meanly the filipino people had enough with this FAKE PRESIDENT OF CEBU. Let me share some of the people I talk too. I ask them why the vote for Capt. Trillanes, And why! Some were saying that the only reason they vote for Capt. Trillanes, Because he was saying that if he get elected as senator, He is going to IMPEACH GLORIA ARROYO. Its means the majority of filipino people want her out in malacanyang palace. But I don’t think Gloria Arroyo, Et al. Get the message! My entire family vote straight opposition and so is most of the people in my barrio. I’D KNOW HIS GOING TO MAKE IT. IN FACT I POST THIS MESSAGE IN THE BLOG. I’M GLAD HE DID.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The truth is that I didn’t really believe he would make it to the final 12. I thought he was just filler for the Genuine Opposition (GO), a candidate they included in their slate just to fill the role of Rebel Leader. Yet here he is, No. 9 in the latest Comelec count, with 1, 260, 295 votes. Over 1.2 million people want Trillanes to become a senator!

I voted for him, for the following reasons.

1. He has principles. (The reason for the Oakwood mutiny was the corruption in the upper echelon of the military. Most of us like to deny that this corruption exists, for who wants to believe that the nation’s defenders are the paid goons of politicians who cheated their way into power? But it does exist. And Trillanes fought against it.)
2. He has courage. (Seriously — he didn’t just risk his career, he risked his life and freedom to do what he did. That took guts. Some would call it stupidity, since he ended up in jail, but hey, he’s running for senator anyway.)
3. He has leadership qualities.

4. He has made his antipathy towards an increasingly dictatorial government clear.

But I’m not one of those people who only vote for the candidates they think have a shot at winning. The rest of my votes went to Ang Kapatiran candidates, Kiko Pangilinan, and Joker Arroyo. I knew when I voted that only Pangilinan and Arroyo would win — or at least, that’s what I thought then. Now I’m really hoping that Trillanes wins too.

After all, since when has having principles or being courageous proven to be a formula for success in politics? Legarda ditched her principles, and she’s doing just fine. Escudero’s never had the guts to pass a single law while in Congress, and he’s doing great, too.

I think Trillanes is winning because he reminds people of everything that’s wrong with the GMA administration — while serving as a reminder that such wrongs can be corrected. Let’s face facts. GMA cheated. GMA lied. GMA either orders or tacitly condones the murderous activities of her generals. GMA takes credit for an improving economy, holding up as proof the stock exchange and the peso-dollar rate. All that shows is that the rich are getting richer, while the poor — well, you know how the rest of the saying goes.

Trillanes may lose once the votes in Visayas and Mindanao are counted. After all, Visayas is a much-vaunted bailiwick of the administration, while Mindanao is where large-scale cheating occurs without anyone in Luzon batting an eye.

But here is the truth which GMA will not be able to deny. Even if Trillanes loses, the very fact that he came so close to winning shows that far too many people hate her. A vote for Trillanes is a vote against GMA. That’s what he has represented, all along — rebellion. It doesn’t have to be bloody. That’s the difference between a revolution and a rebellion. All Trillanes wants, what he has come to symbolize for the 1.2 million who voted for him, is change.

While there is a chance for a renewable choice of our leaders there is hope.

That is the essence of democracy, people in elected positions are a renewable resource. If they fail to satisfy the people’s expectation, then they would be changed; on the other hand if they performed satisfactorily as judged by the people then they would stay or get a better position.

That is why the current administration and its allies want to circumvent this check and balance; that is by tampering with our Constitution.

2. Nabasa ko ang “Oath of the New Katipuneros” - dito http://magdaloparasapagbabago.blogspot.com/
3. Naniniwala ako na isa siyang Katipunero

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the website:

The Vision:

1. Lasting Peace and Prosperity for the country

Oath of the New Katipuneros:
I am willing to lay down my life in the pursuit of the Vision

tanong ko sa iyo:

WILL A COUP BRING PEACE AND PROSPERITY FOR THE COUNTRY?

i expect your answer in this thread….

ito na yung sagot ko sa sagot mo, kung meron……

assuming na loyal si trillanes sa vision at oath of the new katipuneros.

Dapat wala siya sa oakwood o kaya eh 6 feet under d ground na siya.

a coup will never bring peace, puro di baril at bomba sila don di ba? Peace ba yon eh giyera at patayan ang hanap nila.

Prosperity ba ang coup, ang dami nga natakot at nagsiaalis na mga negosyo noong mga panahon na iyon.

number 1 pa lang yan, marami pa silang visions at oaths……

Umpisa na ang paggigipit kay Trillanes para di niya magampanan ang kanyang tungkuling bilang Senador:

Trillanes petition to attend Senate sessions opposed

By Mike Frialde
Tuesday, July 3, 2007

Government prosecutors vowed yesterday to stop Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV from attending Senate sessions and from holding office in his cell at the Marine stockade in Fort Bonifacio.

Assistant Chief State Prosecutor Richard Anthony Fadullon and his panel of prosecutors urged Judge Oscar Pimentel of the Makati Regional Trial Court to reject the request of Trillanes to set up a satellite office with a personal computer and a telephone inside the military jail.

Trillanes asked the court to be allowed to attend Senate sessions and to admit visitors inside his working place, and to attend all official functions of the Senate.

He also requested to be allowed to conduct meetings with his staff at the stockade and to give media interviews on Tuesdays and Fridays when the Senate is not in session.

Prosecutors said such requests “smack of special privilege and preferential treatment” for one accused of coup d’etat, a capital offense.

“The People oppose all these requests as they partake of special privilege and preferential treatment for accused Trillanes,” said Fadullon. “He needlessly stresses his electoral victory during the May 14, 2007 elections and implies that this should give him preferential treatment in detention and in these proceedings.

“The DOJ, as the prosecuting arm of the government, its shield and sword of law and order, represents not only the 11,138,067 voters who voted for him, but the People of the Philippines, with all its 85-million citizens, and counting.”

If you think Military is not supposed to interfere with politics, here’s my own opinion. Si Clinton, Dole, and Cheney just to name a few. These Politicians fought in WWII then came back to the mainland went to school and served/ serving the people very good. Si Prince Harry na assigned sa (Iraq or Afghanistan) he went to a Military training parang PMA sa England. Ang daming WWI veteran ang naka upo ngayon sa senate or house of the Representatives dito sa US. Why?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

puro imported na naman ang example ng mama, to answer your question, there are all law abiding citizens, may nag stage ba sa kanila ng coup………

FYI: hindi na pinadala si prince harry sa ibang bansa……

Fr: Salina.

YoungPatriot: Yes, There is OFW in Erap time but not thats much. Compare now,. Today OFW leave Philippines by Million’s, Not by hunder’s….And Yes, I remember the envelope of Jose Verlarde. Who can forget that.
If we all remember the Envelope wasn’t open until later on. After they open the envelope Erap, Is not the owner of that envelope and you knew it too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

natatandaan ko rin, kawawa si erap no, isang envelope lang ang katapat, hindi pa nabuksan……..

dali, dali, palagay ko maraming envelope sa 7 kahon evidencia ni cayetano, hingi ka ng 10 para siguradong talsik si gloria……..

Fr: Salina.

Kim: You’re on target. Amen, Amen, Amen. To that….Godbless us all to those who voted for the oppostion. Mabuhay!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

yung tatlong bugok namely villar, cayetano, escudero, nadenggoy na tayo, ayon nakipag alyansa na sa administration……….

sayang ang boto ko kay villar at escudero, wala palang principyo, hindi pa nagbubukas ang 14 congress eh bumaliktad na……….

si cayetano, ah hindi ko binoto yan, ala talagang principyo yan……..

na 2 out of 3 ako ah, kayo ano score, kudos sa mga 0 out of 3………

Yanyan
10,922,692 votes for Trillanes so far. Two thumbs up to all the Filipinos who made the right choice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ganyan lang yan sa umpisa, savor the sweet taste of victory while it lasts, congratulations……….

hehep, horay……

hehep, horay……

hehep, horay……

o yan, dito natin masisilayan ang galing ni trillanes pati na ang mga abogado niya’t sympathazers, kung kaya niyang ilusot sa mga prosecutors at hukom ang kanyang mga kahilingan……

good luck, deals are not allowed…….

antonio trillanes iv needs your support to never tire of the truth about systemic corruption in government. his tenacity should be fired up, not doubted. his fight is not a singular fight, we should be fighting corruption as a nation. don’t ask him to win over this one, because his passion already tells us that he has won.he cannot win it alone in the bulwarks of trapos (big bucks, plus control of law to protect their own businesses) and vested interests (big business profit)–we must deny the trapo government the tyrannical ease with which they pocket tax money. Corruption and greed by the powerful are the architects of our poverty. antonio trillanes iv made his move, when do we make ours?
