A FORMER congressman, a bar topnotcher and a public official, Secretary Sergio Apostol was one of the prominent politicians respected during his term as a congressman, championing the cause even of OFWs when he was one of the first congressmen to use their CDF to finance OFWs
overseas.
But as a Filipino with Chinese origin (from the Lim family clan), I find it hard to believe the good man Apostol as I used to see him become tactless in his words against Lozada, being emotionally driven as to spark the ire of the Chinese community. I can only imagine how much of a bad influence the Palace could give good politicians like Apostol. I have not met him personally, but I only heard good things about him in the past. Now this, such an outrage.
Regardless of who they are, or their origin, Palace should amply react to such an outrage, quickly salvaging its image by getting rid of such people who would tactlessly make such remarks against cultural or religious minorities in the country. Malacañang is looked upon as the epitome of public administration, regardless of how its image is being questioned these days, and should do its best to protect or maintain its integrity, for whatever is left of it.

wag na tayong mabibigla kung itong si jun lozada ay isa sa mga kandidato sa 2010 national election,marami na akong nakita ganito mga publicity ,mga whistle blower, pagdating ng election ay kumakandidato rin,ito ay isa lang sa mga drama ng pulitika na sinasakyan ng mga oportunista at may personal na ambisyon para sa 2010 national election,lalonglalo na sa mga nasa oposisyon na uhaw na uhaw na rin sa kapangyarihan at sa pangungurakot sa kaban ng bayan,,wala na tayong maasahan sa mga pulitiko na ito,mas mabuti pa siguro,ipunin ang mga ito at ipakain sa mga buwaya na katulad din nila,,

You mean to say, Its okay with you if the squatter’s in Malacanyang Palace keep robbing the government coffer? If so lahat kayo lalong magugutom. I guess you still eat 3xa=day thats why you don’t care. Walanghiya ka rin pala! WAKE-UP!!!
********************************
Ang hirap sa iyo, bintang ka ng bintang wala ka namang prueba kundi, sabi nito, sabi ni lozada.
noong una si marcos pinagbintangan na magnanakaw ng bilyon, bilyon hanggang ngayon hindi pa makita ang bilyon.
si cory pinagbintangan ng kamaganak, nangungurakot, wala naman.
si fidel, inakusahan ng amari deal, si erap mike velarde at boracay mansion, sabi ni erap hindi totoo.
so, ang diperensiya ay ang masama ninyong pagiisip sa mga taong nasa gobyerno, laging duda, paranoid.
unang una bago ka magbintang, malinis ka ba, nagbabayad ka ba ng tax para masabi mo na I pay my tax, I have a right to question where my tax go.
baka simula noon ay hindi ka pa nagpafile ng income tax.
ang pagiging pilipino ay hindi yong bumabatikos sa gobyerno, tumutulong kahit man lang sa salita. ipinanganak ka lang sa pinas, akala mo iyo na.
at sa klase ng salita mo, baka ikaw ang squatter at sa pangalan mo stinky pasig river, ikaw ang isa sa mga dumudumi sa pasig river.
if you know what i mean. tunggak.

I am not pro-Arroyo neither an activist, but the recent events especially the ZTE hearing at the Senate, I can say is not worth paying attention to. I admire Lozada for telling what he knows but please, Senators and mediamen, dont compare him to Clarisse Ocampo because she was so cool and tells only of what she knew during the hearing for Pres Erap. Lozada could be telling the truth but he also injects some information to add flavor to the issue. We, Filipinos, should think wiser and learn to weigh things by ourselves. Huwag naman tayong patanga sa mga taong may way para tangahin tayo. Gagawin nila lahat para mauto tayo so please matuto tayong manimbang sa mga nangyayari. Sana ilabas ang lahat ng ebidensiya at hatulan sa tamang lugar ang dapat hatulan. Please lang huwag nyo ng idamay ang mga taong nagpapakahirap sa pagtatrabaho para may makain.
**********************
I know Clarissa Ocampo, She lie! nabaran din siya. I hope she can read this. Remember you even visit us during Erap trials.

jun lozada is brave man..saludo ako sayo pare!……………to the critics..his submission to the senate inquiry is aready a huge justification of his true intention to divulge every maggots and crocs this goverment have..i think risking his life on this matter is more than the documentation that the critics were looking for, guessed not every body have the courage like this guy have, his life is hanging in the balance, so lets support him allout.

Honestly, I don’t believed in Mr. Lozada. In the first place he admitted his own corrupt practices and all he says are mere allegations without documentary evidence and cannot stand in any court of law. My advised to him please don’t destabilize this country. Nakakagulo yong testimony mo at hindi nakakatulong sa ating ekonomiya. And to the Senators please stop this nonsense, waste of time investigations. Sayang ang billions of pesos na budget n’yo. Ang main function ninyo ay ang gumawa ng batas para sa kabutihan ng mga Filipino hindi mag conduct ng useless investigations paulit-ulit wala namang nangyayari. Talagang in aid of grandstanding lang and early politicking.
