I THOUGHT I’d support Alan Peter Cayetano’s senatorial bid. But, after hearing that he would vote for abolishing the Senate), I’d say the people should not waste their votes on him.
We need an even stronger Senate, and the least we could have are senators who believe in having two houses of Congress. It is bad enough that the House of Representatives sold us for the price of their pork barrel. Now, the last thing we need is a Senate with members who do not believe in the importance of its role in the checks and balances that Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has weakened.
Let’s have senators who will serve our people and our Constitution well, not senators who see only the political title and power that come with an elected position.
As Cayetano has shown his real political color, I am hoping that the Genuine Opposition (GO) will drop him from its senatorial slate.
The senatorial race is beyond fighting Arroyo and the First Gentleman, although that is a collateral benefit and a necessary and almost inevitable result of going for GO.

Sayang! I could have voted for President and vice President, the two most promising new Senators, Alan Peter Cayatano and Chis Escodero, cames 2010.
I had a sleepless nite, watching with admiration, the debate on the 2nd attempt, ergo, futile, to impeach PGMA.
What a daring young men! They, together with the other minorities in the Lower house, was fighting a heroic battle from well entrench majority under the leadership of JDV.
I know, the impeachment will fail, but, just the same, they became the victor ‘overnite’.
But what a disappointment! Like a firework, ALAN PETER CAYATANO, CHIZ ESCUDERO, and JINGOY ESTRADA; their fame eclipes overnight when they associated themselves with Senator Villar, who in the first place, was merely invited guess to the GO.
Sayang, sayang, sayang.

ALAN PETER CAYETANO is so happy these days..
he got what he want.. he is now a senator. simply because of his popularity in attacking the government and no less than the president.
everybody knows that he is nothing but a glib talker. parang bakla kung magsalita. too much talking for nothing.
and now he is with the administration senators.. he is not a principled man and will never be.
the irony is, ang mga kababayan natin ay hindi marunong bomoto.
the good thing: walang nanalong artista ngayon.

We need in the government people with balls like Alan Peter Cayetano. He’s not that stupid on witch hunting - don’t you think so?. It was a physicological question thrown to the Arroyos on their foreign bank deposits. If the bank deposit is not true, it was very very easy for the Arroyos to issue a full blanket authority document for investigation purposes. Why it was not issued ??? Meron o Wala?
Unlike Ping Lacson, when he was requested for the same document for his alleged foreign bank account, without hesitation, he issued a full blanket authority for investigation purposes. If Ping Lacson can do it, why not the Arroyos.
This is one of the reasons why I voted A. Cayetano and Ping Lacson. I voted for GO.
Kung wala si Companero, paano na?

hindi ka ba nagtataka, na sa 7 kahong evidencya nila against gloria eh wala sila ipinakita sa ating mamayan maski isang pirasong toilet paper na magpapatunay ng walang kadududa sa mga kasalanan ni gloria…….

sumalangit nawa ang kanyang kaluluwa, nag iisang lang si companero at siya ay wala na………
God bless his soul…….

hello senator alan peter cayetano. sana po magkaroon ng batas na lilinis sa mga tiwaling empleyado ng pamahalaan lalo na sa mga LGUs kasi grabe talaga ang mga corrupt sa mga tanggapang ito. kahit magpalit tayo nang magpalit ng presidente, senador, congressman, governor, etc. kung hindi papalitan, aalisin o i-reshuffle ang mga empleyado na mas batikano sa pangungurakot ay hindi rin masusugpo ang corruption kasi may security of tenure sila meaning for life silang pwedeng mangurakot

dapat kasi baguhin ang electoral process dito sa Pinas para hindi nakakasawa manood ng mga ads nila. sana bawal ang mga tv ads kasi hindi naman lahat can afford. tama sina paredes dapat hindi gagastos ng malaki ang mga kandidato kung tatakbo sila sa election. sobrang mahal talaga ng election dito sa pinas kaya lang TUBO pa rin sila, di ba?

si alllan cayetano may prinsipyo. kalabanin man ang mag arroyo, nananitiling may paninindigan at malasakit sa bayan.hindi sya ang tipo na panonoorin na lang ang patuloy na pagbagsak ng pilipinas.gusto nyang tulungan ang bansang patuloy na pinagnanakawan ng mga buwayang nakaupo sa gobyerno. kahit sabihin pang 2 ang cayetano sa senado o tatlo, wala akong nakikitang mali dyan kung ang isinusulong nilang adhikain ay para sa bayan at hindi para lang sa malacanang o mayayaman.sa kasaysayan ng pilipinas, lumaki ng ubod ng laki ang utang ng pilipinas, at naging pinakakurakot na bansa ang pilipinas sa asya, palagay ko sa buong mundo na at at iyan ay sa ilalim ng panunungkulan ni gloria. maging ang pagpatay sa mga union leaders, pari, aktibista, sikat dito sa europa;sikat ang pilipinas, sikat si arroyo!kaso sa negatibong paningin.

Puro porma lang at speculation itong si peter cayetano.Walang basehan ang pinagsasabi sa senado.Yabang lang ang alam nito.Puro papel sa senado na walang katuturan.
May 12th, 2007 at 2:38 am
I hate to disagree with you guys but amongst the platform of government of all the senatorial candidates, only alan peter cayetano’s which I found very concrete. The way he planned to fight corruption and how to uplift the living conditions of the filipino people is very concrete and precise and very “doable”. Unlike (chavit) singson’s, very general. Just by listening to him (singson), you would easily know that he is one of those traditional politician that keep on promising things just for the sake of promising. With regards to cayetano, there are really a particular procedures on how to attack the problems.
I believe cayetano is serious on whatever he is saying. I just hope that people will give him a chance to serve on the national level.

Your right, Estrada and GO are fooling the ‘masa’. The ‘masa’ should know that these are the people who should be blamed for the country’s misgivings, instead of cooperating for the economy’s sake, they do more media stunt to discredit the government more and worse, some of their allegations are not true.
May 9th, 2007 at 8:22 am
you just take a look at the composition of the “GO”… maceda, john osmena, binay, and the young guns like cayetano. wow! and they talk about “tanggalin ang nakaupo!” para sila naman ang mabalik sa kapangyarihan at gumawa ng corruption? para lalong maghirap ang bayan? wala na silang tiwala sa justice, army at ano mang sangay ng gobyernong ito na hindi nag-oopose. ang gusto nila yung umaatake sa gobyerno… na nagiging dahilan ng lalong pagkasadlak nating masa sa hirap… para tumakbo ang natitira pang investors na nagbibigay sa masa ng trabaho… gusto nila mabaon tayo sa utang para maeron silang mapag usapan.. gusto nila ng gulo dahil sa kidnapping, election killings, ang mga ofws na naiipit sa ibang bansa… para may maisisi sila sa gobyerno… sabay-sabay silang natutuwa at nagagalak kung ang ibang bansa ay nababahala sa mga pangyayaring masama sa ating bansa.. doon sila nabubuhay at sumisigla.. tignan mo nang matagal ang grupong “GO” at ang kanilang among si erap at isipin… ito ba ang papalit para tayo ay makabangon? wag naman po sana!
God bless us!

Alan Peter Cayetano petitioned the Comelec to disqualify Joselito ‘Peter’ Cayetano as candidate for the Senate so that there will be no two Cayetanos running at the same time. Hypocrisy! Before doing so, he should inhibit himself from running for the Senate so that there will be no two Cayetanos in the Senate, the other being Senator Pia Cayetano.
May 2nd, 2007 at 11:05 pm
Amen. Well said. Precisely. Absolutely, you are exactly correct. Let me repeat it again for the second time once more.
Redundant? Exactly. Annoying isn’t it? Of course. It is like having two Cayetanos, two Pimentels, two Estradas, two similar corrupt senatorial slates.
May 2nd, 2007 at 8:43 pm
Since all other comments are true.. no need for further comments..
All I can say is plain and simple, the cayetanos have no monopoly of whatever intellect they are boasting…
Can he not wait for his sister to finish her term..
The Honorable Ex-Senator Tatad is absolutely right about political dynasty… the intent and spirit of it…

Alan Cayetano, a bright lawyer? My foot. He cannot even write a single bill in Congress….
April 30th, 2007 at 9:33 pm
GO!!!!!!…….where? sorry not with you guys.
April 27th, 2007 at 10:59 am
alan cayetano is another example of a bright lawyer who is slowly being engulfed by traits of “genuine” opposition. Opposing for the sake of opposing. He does not really care how his grim views of whatever the opposite side takes affects whatever positive gains we have, since they never see anything positive but only the negative. how his actions have deprived the “poor masses” of the chance to feel the upliftment, however, small effect this will be. he feels great being exposed to the media - knowing that such grandiose acts is news worthy in this country.
why can’t he be like chiz? he maybe opposing but not grandstanding. sino pa sa young politicians ang pwede nating maasahan? wala na yatang claro recto, tanada, salonga, laurel na aasahan ang Pilipino?

Have you seen the latest political ad of Genuine Opposition.It is so ridiculous. I think it was a very bad idea to have the former president Joseph Estrada on it. Genuine Opposition is pushing voters to vote against the administration… against corruption… against poverty… I almost believed it… I almost bought it. Then here comes Mr. Estrada backing them all up. It suddenly lost its momentum. (Halur!) How could you believe such ad or such persuasion, that they are against corruption when someone with a case of plunder talks about anti-corruption. Isn’t it so ridiculous… how could someone believe it… believe them, in the first place…
