LIKE every patriotic citizen, am awaiting every update on the national and local canvassing of votes. Am interested not only in those who will barge into the Magic 12; equally important is the “attitude” of the early leaders, tailenders and their supporters.
These news articles from INQUIRER.net caught my attention:
- GO spokesman in early celebration over looming win for bets
- GO spokesman loses cool in run-in with reporters
I listened with admiration to this guy as he debated with his counterparts during the campaign trail. I would willingly vote for him if he ran for senator.
However, with these reports, I don’t know if this is reflective of the group he represents.
Is this plain arrogance, a childish reaction or the guy is just tired and has been experiencing a lot of stress lately?
The events that will unfold in the next few days may give us the answer.

PLease dont trash the Philippines just because you didnt get the outcomes you had hoped for. The US and Australia have their own Baho that they should not be proud of- the way they trat non-whites. I am proud to have refused migration to the US because its te country that has kept the rest of the world poor, ignorant and wanting.

i don’t think arrogance is the issue here. it is more on what is true.

“Daig mo pa ang mabahong isda,ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika!!!We must love our country regardless…Losing hope is worse than death!Im sorry that our country brought so much shame in you,so much so to such extent that you are denying your roots.My friend go out and see the world and you will discover that there is more to us filipinos other than what you see in CNN,FOX,ABC etc.I have lived in 5 different countries including US.I have seen the best and the worse in those “progressive countries” and a learning experience for me as a person,and in the end it made me proud that I am a Filipino and I came from the Philippines!!!

When recovery of the once a great nation, Philippines, was close to impossibility, I am one of those who prefer to be called Asian rather than Pinoy, in a country I call my home in America. But, in all honesty it hurts to deny your roots, but, how can I be proud of a nation filled with corruption and unruly election….like this one on 2007. Its a shame! I can’t blame our countrymen fleeing our country….same goes to my parents who decided once and for all to leave.

don’t be bothered at all! that’s how democracy works! if you would open your eyes then you can see that the people have their own mind set that may be different from yours and yet they are still a part of the democratic society.
why hate these people? what’s the use? hatred begets hatred. try to understand why?
i suggest (i just hope i’m right) that what really happened is that they got the sympathy votes from the oppressed filipino people.
know what? if you’re just an ordinary citizen without anybody to cling to then you’re nothing. you can be easily tricked or be accused of something that you didn’t do.
for these people who had committed rebellion, they simply got sympathy votes whose hearts were merciful enough to see their plight! they have exposed this form of graft and corruption and they lead a revolt which failed and were jailed.
God had His ways done sometimes mysteriously.
if you’re a rich citizen with strong backers then no one can arrest you in our present system of government even if you have committed a crime.
it is always the poor, the innocent who got the blame. prove to me that i’m wrong!

Where are we heading as a nation???? The partial result of the election is a big disappointment!!!!!! It boggles my mind that a lot of people opted to vote for Trillanes and Gringo Honasan rather than Zubiri, Magsaysay and Defensor!!! Granting that they are allied with the administration but hey!!! they have better credentials than Honasan and Trillanes!!!
What in heavens could this blasted individuals offer our country??????? Another coup… if they won’t be able to get what they want…..!!!
What the heck is going on with us? Should Trillanes become senator, I’m out of this country!!!

The TU 12-0 election results in maguindanao reflects where we are as a nation. To the current administration, there is no such thing as integrity and honesty, staring from the top, that ‘Garci scam’ says it all. Wala ng delicadeza!

Here’s another one from him:TU sweep in Maguindanao ‘stinks to high heavens’–GO exec

I admire Adel Tamano, I honestly do. But I don’t know what he can do. I hope the guy will be given his break.

Sonnie:
Just to let you know that I’m GO supporter, And I can’t hardly wait for the result. As we all can see,… Gloria Arroyo, And her cronies doing everything in their power to succeed on their cheating.
Don’t tell me, There is none! Cheating this election is worse compare in 2004. I just hope that they’re not going to succeed. Otherwise she gonna have more problem.

You observation is as good as mine. You can’t really expect something good anymore either from our political leaders and their chihua-huas. All of them stinks! Just wait and observe what will happen in the senate and congress again once all those winners are proclaimed. The main reason why most of our coutrymen are leaving abroad because they sick and tired of our leaders. The Philippines is becoming hopeless…….
