AMONG the members of Arroyo’s Cabinet Raul Gonzales Sr. stands out as the most hated, reviled and made fun of, head of a national department in the Republic of the Philippines.
It is to her credit that Arroyo keeps Gonzalez because he is an asset to her administration as he is a very loyal lapdog, notwithstanding his antics. Arroyo lets him loose once in a while so he could intimidate the opposition, and deliver not-so-subtle warnings to anyone who opposes Arroyo. She could keep him at arm’s length, or say that he acted on his own. What Raul Gonzalez Sr. is doing to the office he is occupying now is to smear it with the blood of the innocent citizens of the republic; he is also prostituting the justice system for his own ends, and bringing ridicule to the most venerable and respectable department of the country, while members of the national bar listen to him play his harp.

Mr. Gonzales will surely be gone in 2010, along with his master (unless she declares martial law or cause her P500k paper bagged minions in congress to amend the constitution while we are all asleep, for her to stay in power longer in order for her and her whole family to avoid prosecution for all their thievery).
When he’s gone, he will leave a legacy of shame, a comedy of errors, fallacies and half truths, a cabinet member who clung to his post despite the fact that his appointment was never confirmed by his peers in the Senate. Our children and our children’s children will read about him in history books as a shallow, arrogant, obnoxious, full of himself official, who used to be a brilliant member of the opposition, until he got a taste of the power drug. Shame..shame..shame.

to all my beloved country men/women…..
a thought to ponder,
presidential election here in the USA is just around the corner. if i am a betting man, which i am not, the dems will beat the reps. there will be a new administration at the white house that is probably not kosher with the palace tenant.
the US envoys in the phil. are already distancing them selves from the palace,- you guys must have read the news, -because they were also all appointee by the present white house administration. and their term will also expired and must get on to their new career back in state.
now, by this time next year, we will all see and witness a mass immigration of phil. trapos, palace connected people, high ranking cabinets whom many of them have already set up residency here in the US by way of their connection and relatives.
my dear friends, i have seen this scenario many times before, i could go back as far as the late 60’s. remember yehey villegas? aka mayor of manila, so forth and so on…we have many of this trapos and former lap dogs here in USA.
pinoy’s problems- socio-economic or political are all self-inflected wounds. we played to many russian roulette and lost.
we must find a better solution or we are going to have a lost generation and history akin to spaniard,s colonization and usarpation of power.
juana and juan dela cruz is already the maid and servants of the world. do we need more proof than that?
quo vadis pinoy?

No,. Well knew it already. But, What can you do when you have a biggest LEMON as FAKE PRESIDENT SQUATTING IN MALACANYANG PALACE. Who is the beggar in order to get money from the U.S. GOV’T.
she keep bragging about her so call booming economy which is another lie. If is not for the OFW’S money remittance sending back home her so call booming economy already collapse.
The job creation she promise to the filipino people is to sell them to the highest bidder. Doctor’s become Nurse’s, School teacher become super maid. Because there not enough work available to everyone. And if the filipino people didn’t work in other country they’re all going to starve to death just like what is happening right now, 75% of filipino people go to sleep with empty stomack and she have the nerve to bragg about her so call booming economy.
I dear her to tell all the OFW’S to come home. If her so call booming economy is true! Once a liar is always a liar. Once a thief is always a thief. And thats all she’s good at it. Stealing the government coffer as we all can see it.

There must be wisdom in Raul Gonzales. Everything he does, he finds it good. Glory be to the highest. If its not good for us, what can we did?

You meant to say, What can we do? Don’t send big amount of the money to your loves one. Yon tama tama lang! Save the money and when the Peso exchange rates go up then send some money. As simple as that. Kasi itong Sentral bank gina manupolate nila ang Pera para sila kikita ng malaki sa palitan. Used your brain ika nga utakan lang. Iyan ang ginagawa ko, Binabantayan ko ang palitan kasi tataas kapag kailagan nila ang dollar’s. Lalo na sa the end of the month ang palitan ng Peso tumataas. Bantayan lang!
