Times are changing. The people are a bit discriminating now especially in Metro Manila. They will go for the honorable and principled type who will make himself accountable to his constituents. The heavy bayong are for those who will carve holes for the eyes and mouth and sell the people to the highest bidder. It is the height of naivete to think that you can fool all the people all the time. Those who abused their privileges while in power will be held to account themselves to the people. They will pay it to the last penny of the fine.

yup, at the annual ayala heights village trick or treat, the defensor village supporters (in their respective houses, i counted 2 households, must be relatives) were handing out goodies wearing what obviously were mike defensor campaign shirts– “kay mike defensor ako” or something like that. maybe that’s their version of scaring the people this halloween?

OMG! This is a scary Halloween story.

mike defensor? hahaha. that guy will never win. the people in QC don’t have any iota of respect anymore. bistek waited for so long, and i believe it’s time for him to shine. unfortunately, it looks like SB will not be supporting bistek. syempre nagamit na nya si bistek hindi sya kinalaban since he started to assume as mayor in QC.

mike defensor, back-off.

bad news to QC residents. Mike Defensor is a very unreliable person. He has committed so many blunders while protecting the current malacanang occupant

I think Ara Mina should run for the QC mayorship…

Too bad he squandered his intelligence in exchange for material wealth. If he runs for QC mayorship, the ghost of the past will haunt him.

Bistek has waited long enough in his mayoral bid. He deserves to win. QC voters vote for him

HUWAG E BOTO SI SUSSANO AND DEFENSOR! MASYADO PLASTIK ITONG SI SUSSANO, CODDLER NG MGA SQUATTERS, PERO HIDNI SA MGA SQUATTERS NA NAG SQUAT SA LUPA NILA SA NOVALICHES!!! PWE!!! DOUBLE EDGED, ISANG HUSTISYA PARA SA IBA AND SELF INTERESTS PARA SA KANILA!!! SI DEFENSOR SIPSIP SA CORRUPT NA GOBYERNO!

are you out of your mind? ara mina? what does she knows about politics and running a city. what the heck!

si bistek ang tamang mayor para sa quezon city sigurado hinog na sya sa tagal ng serbisyo nya bilang bise. kay bistek tayo!

Ang galing na marami nang nakakakila kung gaano ka doble cara sina Susano at Defensor. Tama si Tony Ako, pag tinatamaan personal wealth ni Ms. “Bilin ko yung eroplano” Susano, walang batas-batas, basta-basta lang siya. As for Defensor, well, pati Quezon Memorial, ibebebnta niya kung may magdala ng bayong sa kanya.

I think Boy is an idiot for thinking Ara Mina should run for QC mayor!

Ganyan naman talaga sa Pinas.
Ang mga laos na artista,pumapasok sa pulitika. Ang laos na pulitiko, nag-aartista!

Ilan taon hindi mabuksan ang Terminal 3, pero nuong umupo si Defensor, nabuksan kaagad. Pati ang PNR, napa-ayos niya. Bilib ako sa kay Mike Defensor. Nuong natalo sa pagtakbo sa Senado, mabilis nag concede at umalis ng bansa para walang anomalya ang mangyari at ipapanalo siya ng boss niya. Ms. Veronica, paki linaw naman kung ano ang ibig sabihin mo sa may dala siyang malaking bayong?
Si Bistek naman ay matagal nang naka-upo sa City Hall bilang Vice Mayor. Ano ba ang nagawa niya upang mapatunayan na siya ang pinaka qualified magdala sa QC? Baka kasi hindi ko lang alam dahil mas pinapakita sa TV ang mga of national interest, at hindi masyado sa mga lokal.
Si Cong. Susano naman, hindi ko alam kung kaya talaga bumili ng eroplano. Pero ganyan naman ang mga pinoy diba? Mahihilig sa ma-drama na pananalita.

let’s vote the next president who has a poitical to lead the country and not based on the popularity & surrounded with a lot of actors & actresses.
in fairness of noynoy, if he wins the country will be involved in the showbiz (Game ka na Ba, Ruffa & AI, SNN & the BUSZ). i prefered to vote GIBO… he has the political will to lead the country.

@Paulo

I beg to disagree w/ you. First, Terminal 3 was opened because the Courts said so. It was held closed because of some anomalies in the contracts. It got many problems during its opening because of some “new” corruption issues. Does “Bayong” rings a bell?

Second, PNR has already been rebuilt before Defensor was there. He was put there because he lost his senatorial bid.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_National_Railways

” According to PNR general manager Jose Maria Sarasota II, the start of rehabilitation efforts on Northrail and Southrail is set to begin in September 2007.Current efforts will involve the total reconstruction of rail bridges, as well as the replacement of rail track, replacing the current 35-kilogram track with newer 50-kilogram ones. Stations are also set to be remodeled as part of the rehabilitation process.The first phase, convering the entire Metro Manila portion of Northrail and Southrail, is set for completion in 2009″

So please Stop claiming something that isn’t his.

what’s wrong with you NPA? Siguro NPA ka nga kasi yung comments mo pang bundok eh.

It is good to see that the people of Quezon City are given the opportunity to select among a number of candidates for the Chief Executive. The entry of Cong. Susano and former Sec. Defensor should make the City voters more conscious on the tract records, competence, and character of the candidates instead of just relying on the popularity and name recall for the would be aspirants. It is hope that more well meaning and public service oriented residents will offer themselves to the people for a better Quezon City.

for Paulo the concerned QC resident:

bilib ako kay bistek. admittedly hindi naka-plastar ang pangalan niya sa kung anuanong mga basketball court at waiting shed (o baka wala lang sa amin), pero balita ko sa very reliable firsthand sources na totoong mabait siya, may integridad/paninindigan at may utak din. nag-Master’s din siya ng Urban Planning (or was it Public Administration?) sa UP recently so siguro naman may nalalaman siya sa pagsasaayos ng syudad bukod pa sa experience niya.

anyway, sino pa ba kaboto-botong kalaban niya? mike defensor?? please. wala akong pruweba (sino bang meron?) pero hindi ako magugulat kung lahat ng mga “napaayos” at “napatuloy” niya ay dahil lang merong nagpadulas sa mga kamay niya. dati pa niya pinakita ang tunay niyang kulay bilang tuta ni gloriana.

JV, if you’re writting is any indication of how ‘Gibo’ is on the intellect department, then lord almighty help us all.

hey Gibo, stop using scabs to try and flood site comments and forums with endorsements for you. Hindi na gumagana yan

Its better for Mike Defensor to run again for the senate and Gloria too so they will feel the real sentiments of the Filipino and not hide behind the back of their local supporters then boast later that they still have the support of the people. For Noel can’t you take jokes? Lighten up Bro!

Michael Defensor? Who, he?

I thought Inton is also running?

I’ve also seen some Mel Mathay posters in QC, I think he’s also running for mayor…taena….laos na to eh! If I were to choose the best among the worst, I’ll go for bistek.

@ Monsi Serrano

It will depend on how much money Mike will give just to win the CE. We all know that money is powerful….Peace Bro!

WALA NA BANG IBANG TUNAY NA MATINO PARA SA QUEZON CITY, ILANNG ARAW NFA LANG ANG FILINF SANA NAMAN MAY BIGLANG MABUTING TAO NA MAKAISIP TUMAKBO SA QUEZON CITY. NAKAKAWAW NAMAN KAMI NGAYONG TAPOS NA TERM NI BELMONTE. DAPAT BAGUHIN ANG BATAS, KUNG MAKA 80% NG BOTO SI BELMONTE DAPAT TULOY PA RIN! YUN ANG MAGANDA SA LAHAT

We should stick to whoever Belmonte endorses.
When Belmonte took over the QC govenrment, it was in a state of deep debt and was (in the red) losing money.
Belmonte’s leadership was able to turn it around.
Just take a look at the City’s annual top taxpayers awards. He really knows where to place his focus.

Sa mga taga QC wag nyo na iboto yong defensor na yun.. alam nyo naman kung ano ang papel nyan sa gobyerno ni gloria..

sa mga botante at tunay na residente ng Q.C. dapat mag isip isip tayo, isipin ninyo dumaan si mathay, rodriguez at belmonte ano ang kanilang ginawa, nuong nakaraang mga balita di ba naging tambakan tayo ng mga squatters na ginagamit ng mga pulitikong iyan sa eleksiyon lang, ang peace and order sa mga barangay natin, nakakatulog pa ba kayo ng mahimbing sa gabi na walang alalahanin kung may akyat bahay para mag nakaw o di kaya yun mga holdapan sa banko, ano na ba ang nangyari sa 5 billion surplus budget na ipinag kalandakan ni belmonte, maraming mga posters at streamers ang nakalagay na ito ay pinagawa niya tulad ng pagpapasemento ng kalsada at iba pa eh hindi naman niya pera iyon, belmonte pera iyon ng taong bayan sa nakolekta buwis ang kapal ng mukha mo putang ………. mo, yun mga hinakot mong mga squatters na lalong nag pabigat sa mga krimen sa kalsada ng Q.C. ano ang masasabi mo, yan ba nagbabayad ng mga amilyar, nakita mo ba ang buong commonwealth pag gabi, kung anu anong mga sasakyan meron yang mga sinasabing squatters na naka parada sa tabing bahay nila, ano ang ginawa mo? mga kababayan sa Q.C. dapat pumili tayo ng bagong alkalde na limitahin ang pag bugso ng squatters sa ating lugar, yun kayang dumisiplina at gumalang sa batas, may plano para sa ating mga kababayan tulad ng libreng pa ospital, pag papalawig ng nga iskuwelahan pang publiko para lahat ng bata ay makapag aral, libreng pakain sa mga bata sa iskuwelahan para mag kalaman ang kanilang kaisipan, pantay na pangongolekta ng buwis, magandang pasueldo sa ating mga guro para mag turo ng maayos at gayun din sa atin kapulisan para mapatupad ng maayos at wasto ang batas, yun mga tiwaling empleyado sa munisipyo dapat matangal, mag karoon ng proper planning at zoning, ang mga squatters ay dapat nang ibalik sa kanilang mga pinang galingang mga probinsiya, ayunsin ang ating mga estero at ilog upang maiwasan ang pag baha, ang pangongolekta ng basura na kung bakit humihingi pa ng pera itong mga kontratista sa basura tuwing kakatok at kukuha ng basura sa mga bahay bahay.
marami pa sana akong babangitin ngunit alam kong hindi bulag ang mga tunay na taga Q.C., sana magising na tayo at pumili ng tunay at handang mag lingkod para sa kapakanan ng nakararami at ng hindi para lang sa mga mangilanngilang mayaman at sariling interes.

maraming salamat po

perry miranda

@ SAM of BSB: sana naman wag mangyari. we need to educate the people now although it’s a tall order considering that there are so many “informal settlers” (pinagandang term sa iskwater) sa QC. but definitely, i will launch a campaign against Mike Defensor. we all succeeded in doing that kaya hindi sya nanalo sa senate. people seem to be tired & what? natatauhan na ng unti for the corruption that they experienced. sana nga sam matuto na din ang COMELEC sa “hello garci scandal”, “lintang bedol” etc.

i agree to the majority’s sentiment, QC let’s be wise. anybody except defensor & susano.

by the way, please visit my blog about TEAM UNITY SADSAD SA G.O. (Genuine Opposition). Unfortunately, hindi talaga Genuine ang nangyari, may mga fake na opposition din like villar, santiago, enrile etc.

http://pinoy-politics.blogspot.com

mabuhay ang pilipino!

@ JV, we’re talking of QC’s possible mayor, why bring in your gibo? you’re out of topic.

@ PAUL, i wonder where did you get your info? apparently you’re misinformed. don’t you know that during the height of may 1 chaos when GMA declared the Presidential 1017 popularly known as Calibrated preemptive response (CPR), mike defensor was suggesting to GMA to declare martial law because of the situation then? but then presidential adviser, Eduardo Antonio Nachura (now associate justice of supreme court) objected because it would be illegal? why do i know? hmmmm i won’t tell you but i have “first hand info”. the point is simple, mike is greedy — power, money, women etc… maybe to compensate his “mimiyak” or harelip. lastly, i will vote for mike defensor, provided that he marries our neighbor & family friend need i say more? visit my blog:

http://pinoy-politics.blogspot.com

@Real Deal, i like your info. very scholarly done. basta, DEFENSOR & SUSANO, NO WAY!!!

mind you, Tito Mat (mike defensor’s dad) is far humble than his son. kung anong kinababaan ng loob ni Tito Mat, syang ubod ng yabang ng anak nyang si mike. mike isn’t even a lawyer. he is an activist kuno who wanted a change. when he tasted power, he become greedy. Tito Mat is a close family friend.

lastly, let’s not forget mike defensor’s misdemeanor about the alleged pick-up girls at Padi’s Point in Cubao (plural!)

Mike Defensor prides himself as an activist way back our time in UP. He was really good, although that’s an understatement.

When he sought for my help to run in congress against Dennis Roldan a.k.a. Mitchell Gumabao, our family, relatives & friends from UP supported him because in all fairness to Mike, he has a very good potential then to hold public office. Quite frankly, in never dawned on all of us who supported him that he will be one of the most arrogant, corrupt and ambitious politicians in the Philippine history.

His true color came out in the process. He felt that he has infinite power, because he has the money. Getting girls from all walks of life, students, bar girls, beautiful sales ladies, food attendants or waitresses, name them and Mike has tasted them.

We supported him not because we wanted him to return the favor,we accorded to him, but simple because we want change in leadership in QC Congress. Period. But Mike became amusingly arrogant and conceited. Some of our female friends even said, “feeling pogi daw si Mike”.

We’re all disappointed with his performance, attitude and distorted values. Truly power can make you drunk, and they say, you’ll know one’s true character when he is drunk — both literal and figurative context.

Mike is a big embarrassment to UP. Actually now, I am inclined to believe what my other friend said before which I resented but then gave it a second thought and approved of it. He said that a lot of graduates of UP have the tendency to be arrogant. They feel that they are the best school in the world like Harvard and Yale. Maybe yes. Maybe no. But the school doesn’t make a person. Only here in the Philippines that makes it so.

I have seen a lot of my previous bosses whose values and intellectual faculties are far superior from some graduates students of UP even the ones with honor. They did not graduate from prestigious schools like La Salle, Ateneo, UST, UP etc. and yet, they have strong values, superior IQ , decent business ethic and good spirituality which I admire dearly.

In the end, we will not be remembered where the school we come from but by the kind of performance we did.

Another friend said, the students of UP are taught to be corrupt. Very insulting, and yet another good point to ponder on. Where is she coming from? I guess, because most of the politicians are products of UP and again, like Mike Defensor, they take pride from being UPians. The downside is, when they got into power, they’re worst than Marcos or even a famished crocodiles. They steal, rape women and commit immorality, peddle drugs, agent of corruptions and injustice etc. This makes me realized that it seems that UP isn’t good school after all as what some of my friends say.

Well, the challenge is for us UPians to censure our fellow alumni who are in power to give justice to UP is one of the venerable academic institutions (not the best objectively speaking) in the country where statesmen and civic leaders are bred and educated.

Mike, have mercy on Quezon City. GTF out of it now.

I agree with the majority of the comments posted here. However, are we so desperate that we settle for Bistek instead? How I wish we can also have a real alternative to those who had their chances, but failed miserably. Digressing to another related topic, I wish Mat Defensor is not re-elected as congressman of the 3rd district. He has brought so much shame to the residents of the 3rd district by always railroading the impeachment complaint against Gloria and just like his son, has continuously bombarded the district with his slogans and pictures as if the money he is spending of these are his own. Its high time Quezon City voters, especially those in the 3rd district get rid of these kinds of politicians. Lets be done with Arroyos and lets get rid with the Defensors.

Poor Bistek!

I wonder what Bistek’s platform will be. He’s been the vice mayor forever. He has a degree or a post-grad on public administration. But what plans does he have for QC? I wish he’d be less shy and come out more often to engage the public with his plans.

I am not really a resident of QC but this is where I am base. As far as I have seen in my 10 years of stay, SB did quite a very decent job in governing Q.C. This being said, people of Q.C should support whoever SB endorses as this will provide continuity of growth and development of the city which he started. Remember that progress and development need follow thru efforts. Hindi nagagawa ng isang tao yan. Kailangan tuloy tuloy at hind pabago-bago ng ng execution sa projects and development. Lahat naman tayo may mga kanya-kanya tayong preference on who we will support but lets support sana on our leaders on who we believe can give us better lives for the greater good.

In the Philippines,POLITICS = GREED and POWER,Serving the people NEVER!!!

I will vote for Ariel Inton. He is not popular but a hard worker. He may not be the one SB will endorse but it is a fact that SB depends on him as captain of a solid and strong QC Council. Inton is Majority Floor Leader for the past 9 years. He is hand-in-hand with SB during planning and strategizing that brought QC to where it is now. He is known in the grassroots, simple and very approachable. He is a lawyer. And, most importantly, he has the vision for and on how QC should move forward. He believes QC’s wealth and resources should be used, up to the last centavo, to the upgrade of individual circumstances. A beautiful and successful city can only be truly beautiful and successful if all its citizens have beautiful and successful lives, at least each has the opportunity for it to be so.

sino ba talaga ang dapat?mike maka gma si bistek nakaupong vice mayor ano bang nagawa nya for 9 yrs?ngayon na lang sumulpot.iverify nyo sa city hall mga head sa office nya puro kamaganak mga contractor nya mga kamaganak at sino ang magiging first lady nya ng qc?madami ata parang si erap!!or baka toto ung tsismis sa magiging running mate nya.magising kayo iboto nyo yung dapat.

Delikado po talaga ang kasikatan lang na gagamiting basehan. Kami sa QC kahit ano pa ang PR ng mga nakaupo sa lokal na gobyerno, alam namin ang totoong nangyayari dito, alam namin na isip ang paiiralin pag bumoto at ang kapakanan ng mas marami at hindi ng iilan lang dapat isaalang-alang at lalo ang kinabukasan ng lahat ng residente. Ang tinitingnan at sinusubaybayan naming kandidato pagka-mayor ay si Atty. Ariel-Enrile Inton, tahimik lang, masipag at hindi handang ibalik sa bayan ang buwis ng syudad. Matalinong abogado, kasama ng kasalukuyang mayor namin na nagplano at nagtulak na ma-implement ang lahat ng meron ang QC ngayon. Naniniwala ako, sampu ng pamilya ko, na pag si Ariel ang naging mayor, mas malaki ang babalik sa bayan, mas maraming ordinaryong tao sa QC ang makakaramdam ng pera ni Juan dela Cruz

May typo error sa naunang entry ko, paumanhin po! Si Ariel Inton ay simpleng tao, makikita nyo sa kanyang pananamit at sa gamit na luma nang adventure na pagamit ng gobyerno, nalalaglag na halos ang upuan sa likod sa sobrang luma na. Bakit ganito? Dahil po alam namin na ang budget na nakukuha ni Konsi Ariel bilang Konsehal ay dagling bumabalik sa bayan. Ang ibig ko pong sabihin ay HANDANG IBALIK ni Ariel Inton ang buwis ng bayan sa mismong nagma-may-ari ng perang ito, at iyon ay ikaw at ako sa QC. Handang ibalik ang buwis ng bayan, yan ang mahalagang katangian ng isang public servant. Salamat.

…Si Atty.Ariel Inton ay isa sa mag taong hinahangaan ko dahil sa pag tulong niya sa mga kabataang mahilig sa pag kanta, pag sayaw at pag arte..napakaganda ng kanyang naisip na ideya na pag yamanin ang talento ng mga kabataang katulad ko…sir Inton maraming maraming salamat po sa inyo….saludo po ako sa inyo….dahil sa proyektong ito lumabas maraming tao ang natulungan nya hindi lang mga kabataang katulad ko kundi maging may kapansanan at mga taong may edad na…..salamat po…!!!!!!!!!!

si atty. ariel inton ay ngayon ko lang narinig ngunit marami nagsasabi na siya ay mabuting
tao dahil sa kabutihang naipapakita nya sa mga tao at may narinig ako na may project sya na tinatawag na himig ariel na tumutulong sa kabataang mahilig sa pagkanta,pagsayaw,at pagarte…
ngunit, sa proyekto ni bistek sana naman po mapansin ang hindi kanais nais na dapat mapansin at nakikita…

para akin ariel inton ang dapat ipalit na mamuno sa qc abogado at napakadaling lapitan.hindi batayan na iboto ang isang tao na kilala may pera ngunit sa oras na lapitan mo laging wala at wala kang maasahan tulong.sinung konsehal ang makikita mo araw araw saqc itoy walang iba kundi ang majority flr leader na si atty ariel inton.maraming beses na kaming huminge ng tulong sa taong ito sa awa at tulong nd diyos hindi ito nag sawa na tumulong sa amin.at kamiy naniniwala na oras na itoy mahalal na maging mayor ng qc ang lahat ng pinag hirapan na ating butihing mayor belmonte ay maipagpatuloy pa ng isang ariel inton dahil sa dami ng mga batas na kanyang ipinasa tyak na itoy kanyang ma ipagpapa tuloy at hindi ito masasayang.sino nga ba ang hindi makakakilala kay atty ariel inton pagdating sa pagtulong sa tao.konsehal palang napakarami ng tulong ang ginwa hindi lamang sa kanyang distrito kundi sa buong qc.

ariel inton wala ng iba pa..wag natin gawin batayan ang pera dapat ang isipin natin ay kung ano ang pinag aralan ng tao,ano ang ginawa nuong itoy naka upo bato bato sa langit ang tamaan wag magagalit.ipagdasal natin na sana isang ATTY. ARIEL INTON JR.ang syang papalit at maging AMA ng qc.mabuhay ang quezon city mabuhay ang isang abogado ARIEL INTON JR.

Si Bistek matagal lang sa puwesto pero wlang ginawa ang QC council ay dinala Ariel Inton ang majority floor leader marami ang hindi nakaka alam na si Inton ang dahilan kung bakit walang problema si belmonte sa konseho. Ang problema kahit si Belmonte takot na rin kay Inton dahil kapag si Inton ang nanalo bilang mayor baka mahigitan pa siya! Kaya si Bistek ang pinili nya ay dahil madaling utuin at walang sariling isip. Susano at Defensor puro dada at pera ang panlaban nila! Sana tumakbo si Inton ng mayor dahil sya ang pag asa ng QC!

si atty. ariel inton hindi ako masyadong pamilyar sa pangalan nya narinig ko lang ang
pangalan nya sa aking mga kapitbahay narinig ko ang pinaguusapan nila na tunay siyang tao at matulunging tao dahil sa pinakita nyang katalinuhan na hindi matutumbasan ng isang ordinaryong tao.,bakit? , dahil wala raw siyang sariling sasakyan, magandang tirahan, at mga pansariling kapakanan., ibig sabihin wala siyang nakukurakot dahil agad daw na bumabalik ang mga pera ng bayan sa kanila… hiram pa ang kanyang service, hnd katulad ng ibang politician, wala pang 1 taon, may house and lot na, milyones pa…malupetiks nakakatuwa

To The Writer,

It seems your not from QC because you donot know Coun. Ariel Inton find time searching his credentials and achievements and you will be surprise he is afar better cadidate for mayor than Defensor, Susano and Bautista. From Jessica Teachers village east.

BASTA ARIEL INTON MAYOR NAMIN!!

atty. ariel inton iboboto ko si ariel inton hindi dahil sa tumulong sya sa amin na nasalanta ng bagyo.. kundi dahil sa kanya, wala sanang tutulong sa mga kabataang nalululong sa bisyo… dahil sa project nya hindi nya ito ginawa para lang makilala sya , ginawa nya ito para matupad ang pangarap ng mga kabataan na nasira dahil sa bisyo.. nakakatuwang pakinggan na nagagawa nya ang mga bagay na ng ganitong proyekto sana lahat ng tao ay ganito hindi katulad ng iba na tutulong para lang makilala sila, nangungurakot pa para lang mabili nila ang kasiyahan ng ibang tao…

.,’what ever you say guys, dun ako sa totoo at tapat na nag lilingkod sa bayan…
kung sino man ang kumakain ng bubog para lng sumikat, wag naman sana ganun!!! wag ka mangurakot para lng may panggastos sa mga sariling kagustuhan…
.,’let the people around you judge yourself of what they’re seeing from your duty and work..
…we have care to criticize what you are doing for the sake of our beloved city!!!

**Can we be wise ?**

Hindi lahat sikat, magaling

Hindi lahat magaling sikat ..

Hindi po kasi natin alam na may mga taong hindi sikat pero gusto nilang mapasikat ang araw para sa mga taong walang kinabukasan . Gusto niyang mapaunlad ang ating lungsod sa isang magandang paraan , ang pagsagip sa mga kabataan na kalimutan ang kanilang mga bisyo at dalin nalang ito sa Pagkanta,Pagsayaw at Pagarte ,.

Siya po si Atty. Ariel Enrile Inton ..
Ang may pakana ng lahat ng concert na nagaganap sa ibat-ibang baranggay ng quezon city , gusto niyang ikalat ang kanyang pangalan? hindi , bagkus ay gusto niya pang mapalawak at mapadami ang mga kabataan na maging bihasa sa pagawit , pagsayaw at pagarte .
Hindi ba pagtulong ang matatawag natin dito ?

Kaya ikaw , ikaw na nagbabasa komento kong ito ,

anu desisyon mo ?

ang isang sikat na artista sa ating city hall?

o

isang direktor na magpapaunlad ng ating bayan ?

yunn lang po ..
sana po maging aral na sa atin yung mga nangyari noong nakaraang eleksyon ..

Isa akong Quezon City employee at marami sa aming mga empleyado ng City Hall ay tahimik na sumisimpatiya sa isang magaling na mayoralty candidate ng Quezon City na si Majority Floor Leader Ariel Inton. We are just wondering why his name was not mentioned in your blog considering that he is one of a very strong contender of HMB. Marahil ang nagsulat ay hindi equipped ng enough information kung sino sino talaga ang mga naglalaban sa pagka Mayor. Councilor Ariel Inton is a very dedicated public official at siya lang ang nakikita namin na as early as 7:45 a.m. ay nasa kanyang tanggapan at humaharap na sa kaniyang mga constituents. For the last nine years, hindi siya nagpayaman at and concentrated in addressing to the needs of the community. Isang napakagaling na lawyer, equipped with knowledge at kayang kaya na ihandle ang city government upang ituloy ang kaunlaran nito, subalit salat sa salapi upang makipagsabayan sa yaman ng mga katunggali. Huwag sana tayong masilaw sa pera na kanilang ipamamahagi bagkus ay magluklok tayo ng isang karapat dapat na katulad ni Councilor Ariel Inton. To prove the foregoing statements why don’t you try to visit his website para magkaroon ng idea kung sino ang aming iniindorso na maging Mayor ng ating lungsod.

Councilor Ariel Inton is the next mayor of Quezon City.
Inton deserves the highest post more than anybody else.
His is a solid achievements and accomplishments. Not surveys and popularity ratings. He will be elected by voters of QC not voters of other cities.
He could be trusted to manage the P7-billion cash and bank savings of QC after the term of Belmonte expires in 2010. Why? His name is not damaged and his image is untarnished.
Belmonte and Inton along with other lieutenants of SB were the builders of QC. Nobody could claim credit for the swift passage of economic ordinances in the city council except him. The economic aordinances provided the backbone for local executives to introduce reforms and restructuring.
Inton is the dynamo and the Kobe Bryant of the city council.
He prefers to work than talk.
He is a consensus builder.
QC needs Inton.

yes, mr. frank, councilor inton is running for mayor.

fyi lang po, hindi kailangang mahinog ang isang pulitiko para matutong magsilbi sa tao. being one of qc voters mas gusto po ng pamilya ko at mga kaibigan na si konsehal Ariel Inton ang mamuno ng QC kasunod ni SB…una sa dahilang siya ang pinakamagaling na Majority Floor Ldr, pinakamagaling sapagkat magmula ng manungkulan siya naging napakabilis na ng pagpasa ng mga Ordinance at Resolution na alam nyang kailangang kailangan ng ating kalunsuran….pangalawa, siya’y sadyang mabuti, napakadali nyang lapitan at marami ang pwedeng makapagpatunay nyan, at higit sa lahat hindi kurakot at may nakahandang vision sa mas maunlad na QC. Mabuhay ka Konsehal Inton, hinihintay ka ng Lungsod Quezon……

well..may ginawa ba si bistek sa qc..samantalang lagi nalang syang sabit sa proyekto ni sb..kaya sa tingin koh mas magaling sa kanya si coun. ariel inton..lagi maaasahan sa lahat..Ariel Inton hindi artista pero pwedeng artista.Pero mas pwedeng MAYOR NG QC..

Now You Know ..
Inton will bethe next ..

Atty. Ariel Inton is my bet…..baket? cya lang ang nakita kong konsehal na everyday ay nasa ofc at inaaccommodate ang lahat ng taong humihingi ng tulong niya. Napaka hands on nya sa mga tao…tulad lang ng nababalitaan kong proyekto nyang HIMIG Ariel marami cyang kabataan na nailayo sa masamang bisyo, cya ang karapat dapat na maging mayor ng q.c…Bistek? wala akong nabalitaan na may nagawa cya…. ang alam ko kaya lang naman cya kumilos ngayon dahil alam nyang wala cyang laban kay Atty. Inton…kaya….Atty Inton guoodluck po sa inyo………..nasa likod mo kaming naniniwala sa inyong talino….

On the issue of popularity of QC mayoralty aspirants.
Vice Mayor Bistek Bautista is popular because he is from showbiz. He has been in QC politics for quite a long time.
Cong. Ann Susano is popular because she is a congresswoman and because of of her wealth. But she is not an awardee of the prestigious Most Outstanding QC Councilor during her brief stay in the QC Council.
Mike Defensor is popular because he has occupied various posts in government. But like Cong. Susano he is not a recipient of the prestigious Most Outstanding QC Councilor while in the QC city council.
Councilor Ariel Inton is not that popular, admitted. But he is a recipient of the prestigious Most Outstanding QC Councilor.
Inton is not popular like Bistek, Cong. Susano and Mike because unlike the three he prefers to work silently behind TV cameras and the media.
His record is quite impressive.
Inton is credited for the swift passage of economic ordinances in the city council that propelled the phenomenal success of QC in terms of economic development. He is the trusted ally of Mayor Sonny Belmonte in the city council for nine years.
Inton delivers what is expected of him by Belmonte. In short, what Belmonte wants from the council Belmonte gets because of Inton.
There can be no P7-billion cash and bank savings owned by QC if the city council is uncooperative. It was Inton who acted like a team captain to maintain unity among the 26-member city council.
He is seeking the highest elected post in QC armed with experience and training that he earned from his closeness with SB and other city officials responsible for building QC, the richest local government unit (LGU) in the Philippines today.

WTF, si Bistek? Ipagtanung nyo sa Q.C. Hall kung gano kasahol yan. Wala na bang matino na tatakbo sa Q.C? Defensor,Susano, Bistek… pano na ang Q.C.? Tsk tsk…

Atty. INTON is a lawyer. As a LAw student i think it is better to have a chief executive who is a lawyer.

Ang pinakamalaking pagkakamali ni mayor SB ay yun si Bistek ang kanyang tinaas. Sana talunin sila ni INTON.

sino po ba ang nararapat? marapat po ba na maging basehan ang popularidad? it is not the question of who’s known or not? ang mas kailangan ay taong integridad at mas malawak na kaalaman sa pagpapatakbo ng lungsod….isang abogado na alam kung ano ang dapat mangyari para sa ikabubuti ng nakararaming nasasakupan, maraming nakalaang proyekto sa lahat na sektor…wala pong ibang taong nararapat sa ating minamahal na Lungsod Quezon kundi c Konsehal Ariel Inton…Comes 2010, Mayor Inton!!!!!!!!

si herbert…joskonaman….taga QC kb?kahit kami taga squatters sukang suka sa pangalan niyan, kung kelan election saka mo lang makikitang nagpupunta mga tauhan nyan sa mga bara-barangay at kung mamigay man ng tulong laging may piktyuran, pero in pernes panalo ang pamigay nyan sa mga bgy official, at lalo na ngayong malapit na ang pasko…katulad nung Ondoy, hala dumating kasama pa ni mayor, saka ni pareng senator revilla, nakiamot pa sa pictyuran…ala di na nahiya ang damulag! ano ga, wala ga syang nakuhang sponsor, kasi kaawa awa naman ang ois nila baka wala budget…..

dito sa amin sa bgy bagong silangan, Coun Inton, extends his hands and offer some help to us nung Ondoy, katulad ng pamimigay ng relief diretso sa amin na lubos na nangangailangan, actually i don’t even know him but when i saw him, i know in my heart that he will be a very good leader and servant to the people of QC….Kudos, Mayor Inton and thank you for being with us in our time of need…God Bless!!!!!!

Ako kay Inton! dahil sila bistek, susano at defensor puro trapo. Kaya lang masyadong mabait si Inton na baka mag give way sa sawapangan ng mga belmonte sa QC. Fearless forecast ko tatAKbo si Joy Belmonte na mayor. Ano ba yan akala ng mga belmonte sila lang ang magaLING si SB takbo congressman, RJ at Vincent Belmonte sa konsehal Kit Belmontecongressman. Sobra na yata sila!

Who is this Ariel Inton? If he is that good why not you write about him and let us decide whether to vote him or not as mayor…

Para sakin ang dapat maging mnayor ng Quezon City ay may kapasidad na mamuno at may katangian maging leader, at nakita ko iyon kay Coun. Ariel Ington dahil sa tagal nyang naging leader ng Konseho ng Lungsod Quezon ibig sabihin nun siya ang nararapat mamuno sa aming mga taga QC

pasensya na po typo error lang po lang po pasensya na po kay Konsehal Ariel Inton.

Hello………..and dapt na mamuno sa q.c. ay si atty. ariel inton…baket? dahil karapat dapat siyang manuno ng lungsod hindi basehan ang kilala siya o my pera man siya ang mahalaga ang puso niya sa mga taong nangangailangan ng tulong at handa niyang ibigay ito sa ABOT NG KANYANG MAKAKAYA…sa pagkakakilala ko sa kanya may puso siyang makatao…people oriented ika nga gusto nya personal niyang kinakausap ang kanyang mga constituents…ikaw bistek ganyan ka ba sa mga taga q.c.? kaya atty. ariel wag ka sanang bibitiw nasa likod mo kami, naniniwala kami na hindi dahilan ang pera para hindi ka manalo sa labang ito………..LABAN INTON LABAN!!!!!!!! Hindi ka namin pababayaan

pagisipan nyong mabuti ang pagpili ng magiging pinuno ng ating lungsod!

para sa akin, si ariel inton lang ang (highly) qualified na maging mayor ng qc base sa nalalaman ko tungkol sa kanya at sa ibang kakandidato

Am certain the people of Quezon City (and the whole country) hasn’t forgotten how that clown named Mike Defensor tried to amuse (did he?) us with the way he doggedly (and rabidly) defended GMA with his “boses ni presidente yan pero hindi siya yan” argument. Who was he fooling? He must have thought all the people are so dumb not to understand logic - not his distorted version. Now he is out to court for their votes and become their king. What a shame?

ANU B ANG DPAT ANG KATANGIAN NG ISANG PINUNO?
-laging nandian at handang 2mulong s abot ng kanyang mkkaya.
-uunahin ang ikbubuti ng nkkrami khit cnu p man ang mklaban nia.
-anu mang oras puntahan s kanyang tanggapan laging nandian at di mhirap hnapin.
-wlang k-ere2, mbaho/dukha q man or may kaya/mabango abot kamay q nian 22lungan.
-marunong mkisama at makihalubilo s kanyang mga empleyado at ksama s trabaho.
-marunong dumamay s ating panga2ilangan (emotional/financial, etc)

1 lng ang kilala q at nmumukod tanging ganitong-ganito at s tingin q dpat mmuno s lungsod quezon, 6yrs n majority floor leader (ibig svhin magaling tlgang mmuno dhil khit may election di sia pinapalitan at gus2 ang kanyang pmumuno) at mahal ng bawat mmmayan. walng iba kundi c ATTY. ANTONIO “ARIEL” ENRILE-INTON, JR. (abogado ng masa/khit anung klaseng ksao handang ipaglaban maliban s droga/rape) di q iiwan hanggang ikaw ay maipglaban.

we all know that Bistek is an Artist’s,

and an artist’s is too far for being a politics right?

what’s the chemistry for that?

an artist’s is an artist’s

he doesn’t know about politics..

i know that Bistek is our Vice Mayor but,

he still not deserving to be our Next

Mayor here in Quezon City..

I’d rather pick Councilor Ariel Inton

because i know a lot about him

he’s a well educated councilor

our Majority floor Leader in Many years..

he is a hard worker, and you can always

see him at the city hall at his office..

than to other poltician who serves for

nothing..

they serve for money and for fame..

they are not deserving for me..

so, to all of you guys..

pick the best candidates who is really

deserving to be our next Mayor..

Think for it many times..

Godbless everyone..

^_^

Para sa kin si ariel inton kasi base sa kanyang reputation wala pa akong nababalitaang katiwalian na sangkot sya. At marami siyang natutulungan kahit na di pa siya nagiging mayor . Kung pipili kayo ng magiging mayor dun kana sa edukado at malinis ang pangalan kaya sya ang pipiliin ko.

abay wala naman ako alam tungkol sa Bistek na yaan,

Nagpapakita lang naman yaan kapag Halalan..

halos hindi pa kumikilos mga taohan nyaan..

abay parang pakainin lang na baboy mga tauhan nyaan..

si defensor naman, abay bugbog na ang pangalan nyaan sa T.V..

abay napakarami nang nasangkutan nyaang tao na yaan..

abay tanga-tanga na lamang ang mga tao na maniniwala pa sa tao na yaan..

abay dami nang kinasangkutan at iboboto nyo pa..

kay Inton naman, wala pa ako nababalitaan na kinasasangkutan..

ang alam ko laang ay tumutulong yan sa mga nangangailangan..

at mayroon syan itinayo na isang organisasyon..

Himig Ariel ang tawag sa mga kabataan na yoon..

tuwang-tuwa nga ang barangay namin ng pinaunlakan nila na magkaroon ng show dito sa barangay namin..

abay ang saya-saya..

yoon laan..

sana sa kanyang pag takbo ay manalo siya sa kanyang laban,
nagpapasalamat ako dahil nakapasok ang anak ko dito.
sana hindi siya magsawang tumulong sa mga kabataan ang mga mahihirap na katulad namin..
at sa kanyang pagtakbo bilang Mayor hindi sana siya makalimot sa ating panginoon..
Pagpalain ka nawa sa iyong mga kabutihang nagawa at gagawin pa at magagawa pa sa mga taong mahihirap..
salamat po!
Councilor Ariel Inton Jr.

nagmamahal,
Family Givera

hi sir!believe po ako sa inyong paglilingkod!
naglilingkod po kayo ng walang hinihinging kapalit at hindi nagbabalandra ng napakaraming tarpulin di tulad ng mga ibang politician’s na halos lahat ng lugar ay nakikita ang mukha nila di tulad mo na naglilikod ng hindi na kailangan ng mga marami pang tarpulin para ipamukha sa mga tao na naglilingkod ka talaga!
dahil ang tunay na naglilingkod ay hindi nasusukat sa dami ng tarpulin na ipapaskil sa mga kalye na halos lahat ng lugar ay mukha ng taong politician na ito ang laging nakikita sana magpatuloy ang inyong magandang hangarin sa bayan.

salamat po!

Been a QC resident for 10 years now. In the past, i never cared who the mayor will be although when i looked at my rpt (real property taxes) going up almost every year, i thought about the services being delivered by the city. ok naman but it could be better. sb’s successor should be as effective as he is, if not better. bistek? parang walang balls and no mind of his own. mike? he is corrupted na. susano? don’t know her. inton? dunno him too but maybe based on the posts, baka puede siay?

defensor, bistek and susano - good
daza - very good
inton - the best

Wala bang bibili ng boto over 20 years na akong bumoboto ni singkong duling wala pang nag aabot sa akin.

Kahit sino mananalo diyan wala pa rin mga naka pwesto lang ang nakikinabang

hahahah

I haven’t decided on which top executive to vote for and may more likely do so only after the official Comelec list is published.

But based on my end of the public perception, and I have talked to a lot of people about this, people having been fed up with the “corruption” scandals are looking for something fresh. Someone who might not interfere with the Ombudsman’s job of investigation all the filth and will allow the courts to judge.

I take it that Gibo will not fit that bill because he is anointed by GMA.

True, Gibo is intelligent. But after several years of Marcos and GMA, people might prefer someone not as bright. To their minds, bright leaders are capable of putting their own interests above the country’s and cover up their deeds effectively, to say the least.

The only reason bright presidents’ misdeeds were found out is when they became too greedy and did not share or gave only a pittance to their supporters like in the case of Joey de Venecia. Joey wouldn’t blow the whistle if he was given the contract because he believed that GMA had already cornered most of the juicy contracts or he may be thinking, “pabalato naman ang ZTE sa akin, si daddy naman supporter mo!”

As to Gibo’s claim that we need a leader “that can hit the ground running”, the perception or interpretation is “hit the ground running straight to the bank!” meaning start looting at the starting gate.

People now realize that voting for an intelligent executive again might damage the country beyond repair. In the sixties, the Philippines was one of the most prosperous country in southeast Asia. Today, we are among the poorest. While others are on their way or striving to become powers, we are deteriorating.

What we need is a leader who will set us back on the right track and start catching up with our neighbors. Someone who will start to recover for the country some respect by putting in place incorruptible officials to oversee the different government departments and agencies. Someone who, the minds of the voters will give marching orders to “shape up or ship out”. Someone who not afraid direct the Justice Department to start investigating and if warranted prosecute those involved in lawlessness starting with the claims of human rights victims during Marcos’ years to the present, non exempted.

If the voters, I for one, perceive one such candidate, then he or she has my vote.

Mike defensor was a third termer congressman in our district.. Magaling itong taong ito. Marunong bumaba sa mga tao. magtanong kayo lalo na sa old balara, , bistek is from 3rd district also of qc. matagal na yan nasa puwesto pero wala parin naitulong sa mga kadistrito nya. walang pruweba. to be fair never heard ko pa si susano, di ko alam kung magaling siya.. pero si cong. mike , ibang klase.. di naman siguro bobo ang mga botante ng 3rd district kaya sya naging 3rd termer.

Guess what. I too will run against all odds as Mayor Candidate of Quezon City. I do not dream of winning, but, still I will take the bet.

I have no money, hardly can support my family, but I have a message to deliver to the voters of Quezon City.

I have been critical as a whole regarding what I have observed during Mayor Belmonte’s time. There are things that I have realized which will never prosper if I do not stand up and be counted.

I once filed a complaint affidavit against a Kagawad in my Barangay for profiting 120% from the sale of his one door apartment. I do not blame him for the profit, but when he runs away without paying the capital gain tax, that is another question. I filed my complaint affidavit against him in Quezon City office, against nonpayment of Capital gain tax, and usurpation of Authority.

After 4 and half years of seeking justice, he was finally suspended for one month and a day on an administrative offense. But unfortunately, he just ignored the suspension and keep on with his duty as Barangay Kagawad.

Another one, sometime in April 2005, after reading the Daily Inquirer’s column with a title of “Greedy Q.C. Councilors planning to hike Real Estate tax” (you can retrieve it in the internet just by typing the title), I personally delivered a letter to about 20 Q.C. Councilors and copy furnished Mayor Belmonte regarding the untimely increase, considering that even before 2005, we already were experiencing the effect of currency devaluation, wherein all prices went up.

Guess what? No one, not even one Q.C. Councilor ever wrote back or reply to my letter. Neither is Mayor Belmonte.

Sounds like dereliction of duty on their part, because they were duty bound under the law, to reply to enquiry from their constituent within 15 days upon receipt. Needless to say, my letter was snubbed.

My third encounter. I confer with Mayor Belmonte regarding the sudden and untimely increase on the Business Gross Income of 2008 and effectively to be collected starting January 2, 2009.

He said, if I can not pay my Barbershop Mayor’s permit wherein the Business Tax is incorporated, I may just closed my business. He never gave me a straight answer regarding the justification of the increase on Business Tax, considering that business is not so good for year 2008.

I made a Complaint Affidavit against Chief City Treasurer Victor Endriga of Q. C. because I discover that no city ordinance or any enabling law exist to support such increase on 2008 Business Gross Income Tax, except a mere memorandum from Mr. Endriga in his capacity as City Treasurer. This is unlawful because to justify increase on any form of local tax, a City Ordinance is needed, a mere memorandum cannot supersede the function which is strictly belongs to the City Councilors.

I filed a Complaint Affidavit to the Office of the Ombudsman for an offense of Usurpation of Authority against Victor Endriga, Chief City Treasurer of Q. C.

There are also many violations committed in the Accounting and Audit committed by the Local Government of Quezon City which runs into hundreds of millions of hard earned people’s tax. You can open the Website of Commission on Audit to know what I am talking about and to verify the truth of what I am declaring.

For these, I believe that, to change the manner how people’s taxes are spent, I have to run as Mayor Candidate. You can easily be override if you are just a mere City Councilor. It is next to impossible to fight corruption when you are from the outside. No amount of writing or shouting will move these corrupt government officials.

The only way is to participate and nothing else.

I can not divulge my real identity least my opponent may accuse me of electioneering.

I will fight even if I have nothing except determination. It is time to take control our local government from the Oligarch and syndicated politics.

Now is the time.
