The truth is Alan Cayetano has not achieved anything during his 9-year tenure as congressman. Probably, he has sponsored bills for his district like change of name of a streeet or construction of a waiting shed. But bills for national application, his performance is zero, nil, nada. If this is so, what can he do in the senate when the job there is more complex. If Meriam has not done well when she has all the golden qualifications, what with Alan Cayetano who speciliciation is only grandstanding, character assassination, fabricating stories and engaging in libelous statements. On the other hand, if not for Mike Arroyo, Alan would not be senator now. Mike Arroyo got sick with his lies in aired in congress and in media. He made the former as his object of vicious attack so that he will become popular and attain the image of a senatoriable. This is not the right way how to make oneself known and worthy to be elected as a senator. I am deeply sorry for the country with the new breed of senators we have today who still cannot bring hope for the poor. Look at her sister Pia. She had been crying during her campaign in order to get the sympathy of the voters. Until today, she has not done anything for the country. And now, another Cayetano is added to the senate. What a tragedy!

The difference between Ninoy and Allan is very far. Ninoy attacked the government in peaceful means. Allan did nothing but create allegations that he cannot prove. Now he is whining about being oppressed, and it worked, people voted for him as a sentiment. Dak dak lang nang dak dak, wla namang kahit ni isang batas na naipasa.

Excerpt from Inquirer “Alan Peter Cayetano�:
http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/editorial/view_article.php?article_id=66960
… Why is the young and sometimes too voluble Cayetano in the crosshairs of the Arroyo administration? Why is his candidacy receiving intense attention from the Palace and its allies? It must be because he has angered the President’s husband, after he accused Jose Miguel Arroyo of maintaining a secret, multimillion-dollar bank account in Germany. Arroyo has even tried to have Cayetano expelled from the House, on ethics charges. To be sure, Cayetano has failed to substantiate his accusation, until, that is, election day. On May 14, the full power of his enemies was unleashed on him�indirect but compelling proof, in our view, that Cayetano, the real Cayetano, had hit close to home.
That is why Alan Peter Cayetano is the target of election fraud on a scale unseen since Ninoy Aquino and his Laban running mates were shut out in the 1978 elections. Whether he wins or loses in the official count, in reality he was elected, resoundingly, a senator of the republic…

Back in UP, Alan Peter Cayetano represented the kind of student leadership we werer taught NOT to emulate. He is a legend in that regard- leaving behind fellow anti-US bases activists to rot in jail while he drops a powerful name to obtain his release from the police. That’s disgusting. That was 20 or so years ago.I thought he has changed somewhat- He hasn’t changed. He shows the same skill at stepping over people, even to the extent of fabricating his accusations just to fuel his ambition. He is, in a word, A weasel, and AMPAW- the kind of public servant we ought to write off our books and move away from. He is a bad influence to many of our youth- teaching them that you can create innuendo and ride the coattails of false accusations just to gain media mileage and reap public attention. And he has the gall and arrogance to claim the moral high ground on that. I voted for those with a stronger legislative record that can really move legislation.

sino ba nagsisinungaling? i believe in alan cayetano million times more credible than fg or mikey. walang ebidensya? waiver lang hinihintay nya kay fg pero ano nabahag ang buntot? sana alamin natin buong istorya wag lang post ng post dito kung yang nasasagap nyong tsismis dyan nyo lang sa kanto napakinggan. if isa lang ang pagpipilihan sa pagiging senador, i’ll rather pick alan cayetano above all the senatoriables na tumatakbo ngayon.

OFW kami, ayaw namin sa mga SINUNGALING mapag-embento ng istorya na wala namang basehan. Kung sa akala mo sikat kana dahil palagi kang napapakinggan na umaatake at puno ng daldal. Para sabihin ko sayo…sa dami ng nakarinig sa daldal mo 77 times ang hindi bubuto sa’yo.

it’s as simple as this: ” I WON’T VOTE 4U.”
yOUR tv ADS make me want to PUKE!
May 11th, 2007 at 9:42 am
Alan Peter Cayetano is full of mouth and mouth and mouth! What’s he expecting of the senate? Full of talk?! ang mahal naman ng bayad sa kanya para lang magpatalsik siya ng laway dyan sa senado!

if this guy lost the election…
he will open again his mouth and cry foul… dinaya ako. dinaya ako.
Well sir, the position you are vying for is not your congressional district.. with only a thousand or whatever the size it may be… remember too, that when you run for congress. not all your constituents voted for you it means… ayaw sa iyo..
and here, you are courting the vote of the whole nation.. with million of votes at stake..
to compare.. you routed your district with your promises… but this time… not the whole philippines..
your district is different from the national scene, so therefore dont cry again and tell to someone that you have hidden account of making ballots in foreign land..
remember that surveys fooled us… conditioning the minds of the electorate.. luzon is different from visyas and visayas is different from mindanao..
if i will count or say surveyed 5 comments here, including me, we will not vote for you… papaano yun..
May 5th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
pati yata asawa nito eh canditato yata sa pagka congresista….pati in-laws nahawa na sa pagkadupang sa kapangyarihan….DELICADAZA NAMAN… family business ba ang politico….. puro bunganga naman…..kung mahusay ka isang envelope lang tanggal na si gloria…. tignan mo amo nila…. isang evenlope lang, walang pang kwenta ang laman, talilis na ng alis sa palasyo… bakit hindi niya tirahin amo niyang naka house arrest dahil sa plunder kung tunay siyang representante ng taong bayan… baka malaki pakinabang niya rito!!!!! he..he…he.. aray
April 30th, 2007 at 9:08 pm
This guy is full of crap……i’ll pick Victor Wood anytime over this incompetent nincompoop.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:05 pm
Alan Peter Cayetano’s a constant blabbermouth. He’s only good at throwing accusations without evidence…maybe thinking that Filipinos — pro or anti- GMA — are that stupid to believe him. He talks without substance, very arrogant …. an empty can, indeed. And, look at congressional records….he’s a total non-performer. So, why should i vote this guy?
April 29th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
I too am disappointed with this guy. He devoted his youth to useless mudslinging, grandstanding and old politics. Nowhere close to the progressive, developmental and positive people we hope to lead this nation to prosperity.
April 27th, 2007 at 1:32 pm
Allan Peter Cayetano has a BIG mouth! He only talks talks and expects media mileage. What has he done when he was a congressman? He likes to hit anyone just for the sake of media coverage. He has been doing that before this elections because he dreamt to become a senator. What a waste of my vote and time. He is arrogant and I always change channel every time I saw his face on TV.
April 27th, 2007 at 9:02 am
Why i would waste my time on this guy? He’s there for the show and nothing else. As a Filipino living overseas, I think this kind of people are a waste of taxpayers money especially that OFW’s are making the economy afloat through dollar remittances. If they’re elected the same thing happens… they will sit their ass in there and take money left and right.
