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…….
eh tumalon na nga ang idol mo sa kabilang panig, sama sama na sila nila villar, escudero, jinggoy at admin senators, yan ba ang may balls, gusto lagi doon sa may pakinabang, ginamit lang kayo……….
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
