THE [REASON behind Benjamin] Abalos wanting to debate [Rodolfo] Lozada [Jr.] on the NBN [national broadband network] overpriced deal is never dabatable.
He has his day in court. That’s the proper forum for him to defend himself. If the court finds him innocent then sue back Lozada.

Maybe not debatable… but nevertheless let it be open to everyone of us… its great to see once in for all who is lying and what are the proofs of the claims… Give them the airtime… Lozada seems very happy of his popularity while Abalos is very much into cleansing his name via discrediting claims of Lozada…
Let them show off their practices…. Magnanakaw/mangagantso (kuno) V.S. the same. Masaya ito…

wow.. LOZADA really needs to explain this to us ( http://www.patriots4truth.blogspot.com/ )… I hope the Patriot for Truth keep on posting more conversation….. what a corrupt people brought us into this…
LOZADA was really a Saint and JOEY DV is moral… VERY much…
KAWAWAKNG PINOY… nadali na naman.
truth for the Hero LOZADA Supporters
My goodness… indeed he is holy and he will be saved from hell…. I am asking for a favor from INQUIRER.NET and other media organization…… please make an article about this blog (http://www.patriots4truth.blogspot.com/)… I feel the people should know about the other side of the coin…
The site has been active Feb 23, I am just wondering why this has not recieved great attention like Lozada’s expose… BIAS I see in here…
This should be part of the LOZADA-ABALOS debate.

abalos is crook- he got nothing to prove
mang godo
Debate? Common.
A lawyer, a former judge and a former election commissioner against probinsyanong intsik.
Lozada is not a debate person.
He is a whistle blower.
He only tells what he heard and he repeats what he heard.
Meaning, he has no reason.
So, debate is not the answer.
The answer is to stop Lozada from corrupting the minds of young people particulary schoolers/students.
I don’t understand why a concubine like Lozada can roam around school campuses and delivering speeches denouncing the government and GMA about corruption.
Our students have young, fresh, clean,wholesome, untainted,and innocent minds.
The reason why we put them to schools is to shield them away from harsh world of reality until such time that they are ready to face life.
Yet, comes the philanderer,the immoral, asking forgiveness about being a two timer and having children out of wedlock at the same time talking about corruption.
This is not right. We are sending wrong message to our children.
Our young childrens’ mind is being polluted
ang being taught to be disrespectful to our elders particularly to our president.
Why our teachers are letting this to happen, much more our principals and depheads.
They should act on this campus tour of Lozada before our children go the wrong way and illegal turn.
Debate, they should go to court and not on schools.

Ok lang na mag-debate sila. Dun malalaman kung sino ang nagsasabi ng totoo at kung sino ang nagkakatha ng istorya. Kung dadalhin sa husgado, magpapagalingan lang mga abogado. Dalhin nila direkta sa publiko para para matapos na ang lahat ng kalokohan na ito na isa o parehong sila ang may kagagawan. Panay ang ikot ni Lozada sa mga eskwelahan, si Abalos ayaw naman nilang imbitahin. Hindi patas ang laban. Matagal pa naman ang 2010. Sige, magdebate sila para lahat ng tao ay makapagtimbang kung sino ang totoo at sino ang sinungaling.

Halos lahat ng media organizations BIAS towards Lozada. Lahat na lang ng maliit na bagay na gawin ni Lozada minamagnify ng media para dagdag pogi points. On the other hand lahat ng gawin ng gov’t minamagnify din lalo na yung makakasama sa image ni GMA. Napapansin ko nga sa mga wordings na ginagamit ng mga new reporters eh sobrang convictive against the gov’t.
By the way, kung hindi ba tinanggal as speaker si JDV, ganyan din kaya ang iaasal nilang mag-asawa against the gov’t??? Walang hiyang Gina de Venecia yan kung makaasta at mag-rally eh kala mo walang bahid ng kalokohan ang pamilya…

Mang Gado: what do you mean stop Lozada going around all over the place,…This is a free country is it not? why stop Lozada when it is his right to speak to any public place’s just like anybody else,…what he is only telling the filipino people what he knows its up to the filipino people if they believe him or not. To me I believe him because I know he don’t have anything to gain by doing this. If he is not telling the truth why is it that Gloria Arroyo, Order to kidnap him just to stop him for telling what he knows in all the corruption that is hounding the bogus regime of Gloria Arroyo. Lahat naman ang sinasabi niya tugma sa mga sinasabi ng ibang witness. Beside as we all can see it Gloria Arroyo, Et al. Doing everything in their power to cover-up-all-their stinky shit. If they don’t have anything to hide why suppress the truth. Truth of the matter is Gloria Arroyo/cronies are guilty to the core!

Malaki ang suspetsa sa sususnod na eleksiyon tatakbong senador si Lozada at mananalo. parang Trillanes nag mutiny ayun senador na. kawawa naman tayong tahimik na mamamayan na ang gusto ay tahimik na buhay.
From (Fr.) Kulot
For sure this is another venue we would love to watch this game.. If Lozada cant talk much kasi he is probensyanong intsik, Im sure he can be represented by his dear friend Joey D.V. or his lawyer or anyone from Lasalle.
But I’m sure Lozada would be very very happy if it would be him to be seen and defend himself.. He is really capable of defending himself I am sure of this.. Besides he seem very happy whenever he is interviewed now adays.. Seems he is already unafraid and pretty much enjoying his popularity… I bit if he is an actor he would have higher popularity than the likes of Piolo, Angel, and other stars in TV.
Let the debate begin very soon when the hotcake is still very hot.. This would be the greatest event Manila people would like to happen.

i was once a govt employee in the pi w/ the same salary as lozada, but, i wonder why i was not able to afford to play golf, and buy golf shares. i wasn’t able to send my kids to la salle(jun has 5 kids) w/ that kind of salary…why? because i DID NOT engage in his so-called “permissible zones of corruption” like he did…
if that you tube converstion w/ joey is authentic, then, he is really part of the evil gang. that explains his lifestyle and why he can afford it. he was the technocrat who moderates their greed. of course the evil gang will make “balato” when a deal pushes through. joey and jun made noise and went to the senate bec. their bot project was scrapped to favor the outright loan from china. it is not true jun was afraid of the senate…puede ba, he met w/ping lacson 6 times before the hearing. ang galing ng director nya. ang daming napa-believe! it was a STING and now these players are grinning from ear to ear…what if the BOT was approved, so joey is happy, and there is no senate investigation. but is that legal? NO, jdv and joey are committing graft. they have been doing that when he was speaker and the public does not know it bec. joey’s name is not in any sec incorporators certificate, may dummies, but he’s the real owner.
my point is, like what mc_90 has said, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME, THEY ARE ALL CORRUPT.
why is jdv and joey spewing out venom just now? when they could well have spelled it out earlier if they think the first couple were doing something illegal. kasi, nakikinabang din sila noon, everybody was happy!
abalos, joey, jun, fg….they are of the same make. even if jun says “pang-liga” lang siya, si fg and abalos e “pang-nba”…stealing is still stealing, regardless of amount. hindi naman yan qualify ng God sa big or small, basta Sin is Sin period!

Debate? It is just a waste of time. I don’t believe Mr. Ben Abalos much I don’t believe Mr. Jun Lozada.As of this time, there is no proof or hard evidence to support the testimony of Jun Lozada. It is not enough to say, ” I heard…”, ” I saw…”, “I was the one… because it should be supported with real evidence. Anybody can say these things! I wonder why those intellect from top universities believed on Jun Lozada, are they taught this way ? If this is the direction of the fundamentals they are teaching to our future lawyers, then this country is headed for a CHAOS ! What is happening right now in the senate are all for their own political survival towards 2010 election. They want to project a good image to the public. But, this good image is only superficial, deep inside, they are also CORRUPT like the govt. Come on, dudes, do you like Binay ? Erap ? Cory ?..Duuhhh, bullshit them! To Cory, what happened now to Hacienda Luisita farmers ? What I don’t like with these peoples, they are using God for thier own political moves, GINAMIT NIYO PA DIYOS ! The priest and nuns joining and believing Jun Lozada should be excommunicated. Instead of teaching us to be more faithful to the Lord, they are there in the rallies denouncing the govt, ito ba ang ITUTURO NIYO SA AMIN, ANDUN BA SI LORD ? Come on, let us open our eyes to the real thing that is happening in this country, Senators investigating not legislating, Priest and Nuns present always in rallies, govt officials are greed, former govt officials dictating on how the Pres. should do, future lawyers believing in hearsay. This is the PHILIPPINE, DUDES! CHAOTIC!

Siguro nga, mas magandang magharap si Abalos at Lozada. Mas makikilala natin ang kanilang pagkatao. Mas lalo sigurong mangangamoy si Lozada. Sangkaterbang katiwalian at kasinungalingan ang inihasik ata nyan e.
Sasabihin ulit ni Lozada, “Inaasahan kong titirahin nila ang aking pagkatao para mabawasan ang kredibilidad ko”. Siempre naman, kailangan kilalanin ang pagkatao ng nagkakalat ng balita. Malay ba natin kung BALIW yan, o EX-CONVICT o TAKSIL AT SINUNGALING TALAGA.

@mang godo:
Your attitude is part of the problem.
1) Disrepecting the president
I hoped there would be more Filipinos who disrespect the president. Respect should come to those who are doing the right things. Like the numerous hard working people in the Philippines that are struggling to make ends meet and that die often before the time under a lot of pain because the peoples money (=taxes) cannot even guarantee a basic health care. You should chain your presidents in the deepest cell of Muntinlupa instead of letting them be prisoned in luxury. They are not only stealing money. They are killing people.
2) You want to shield your children from the harsh world of reality.
I also have a daughter who is now ten years old. I am not shielding her. I take her by the hand to show her the harsh world. If I am not doing it the other people will form her mind.
Regarding the current situation:
I believe Lozada. Because it fits perfectly in the whole picture including Garci, use of Philhealth funds, Neri’s statements, De Venecia’s statements and all the cover up operations of the government
Maybe GMA did not mastermind all that. But she has the responsibility. She might be a sitting duck and her hands are tied on many cases of corruption because she needs the support of those people comitting it to stay in power. She should have stepped down long time ago.
On the other hand I have to puke when I see how they turn Lozada into a hero for their own interest.
But still it is better to kick out a corrupt president even if the next one would be worse.

I do agree that there is no hard evidence that Lozada is presenting, but still common sense exists. People do believe him due to this so called “common sense”. C’mon, if the Arroyos are not guilty, why SC would not let the Senate to ask Neri on his conversation with the President? Is this the present so-called “JUSTICE”? I mean, even a common Filipino does have the right to ask that question. This is just simply LOGIC. Common sense is innate. It is neither taught nor learned; yet, very UNCOMMON.

but lozada chose to meet w/ ping 6 times. why? your guess is as good as mine.
i agree the zte is obnoxious, and that lozada, joey, abalos, fg, and others are equally corrupt. in one bloggers’ term…awayan ng mga mahilig mag-kickback, awayan sa hatian…

lozada says, kaunti lang daw ang sa kanya, big league daw sila. how “little” is little? for how long has he been receiving this “little”?

The issue is about the colossal corruption in the government that needs to be stopped once and for all. I don’t see any practical purpose for a debate. Debate on what? Maybe it will be better for Abalos to just shut his mouth because everytime he opens it, the more he becomes mired in deep sh…t

arigato
That should be one hell of an entertainment.
Imagine..debate ng dalawang corrupt, isang bigtime at isang small time.
Pero kahit small time na magnanakaw si Lozada, La Sallista naman ang mga anak nya. At di yan magkakaroon ng kabit kung barya-barya lang ang pera nyan. Yun kayang mga anak nya sa kabit nya saan kaya nag-aaral?
Pero ito ang sigurado, big time na whistle blower na sya. Magkano kaya ang bigay ng oposisyon at mga negosyanteng galit kay GMA dito kay Lozada? Tuso yata yan. Di yan aasta ng ganyan kung walang matinding backer. Itanong nyo pa kay Lacson.
Ayaw pa daw nya ng limelight e halos araw-araw may campus tour at feeling sikat na celebrity sa pagkaway-kaway pa sa mga nauutong mga estudyante, media at mga alagad ng simbahan.
Kung katotohanan ang gusto nating lahat, tingnan natin lahat. LAHAT! Mapa-administrasyon o oposisyon man. Tandaan nating lahat, yang pork barrel matinding form of graft and corruption yan. Kailangan pa bang itanong kung bakit nagpapatayan ang mga kandidato tuwing eleksyon para maluklok sa pwesto?
Tingnan nyo din ang mga makakaliwa, dati dinedenounce nila ang pork barrel. Pero nang makapuwesto na sila sa kongreso, sila pa ang mga unang kumuha ng share nila. Tapos yun pa ang ginagamit nila para pabagsakin ang gobyerno.

I don’t understand what you mean, attitude problem.
Do you mean, I am too good to be true.
Or you’re the one who has an attitude problem for i can sense your ill mannered and short tempered.
When it comes to attitude, we should be like Jesus Christ who has ,humility, love, compassion, generosity, caring, kindness, selflessness and giving.
Why blame all the misery of poor filipinos to our president. Our president is the last recourse.
Society starts in the family and the head of the family should provide to his family and not the president.
You should be proud of the fact that we have GMA as president. If you go southeast, you have the military Burma, the communist cambodia, if you go south there is pakistan, afghanista and if you go further, in africa, there are somalia, sudan, darfur then you have Mugabe or if you go west you have Castro.
That’s where real misery, famine and hunger abounds. That’s where millions are dying everyday and not in the philippines.
Piece of advice; Learn what they live;
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condenm;
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight;
If a child lives with ridicule he learns to be shy;
however,
If a child learns with fairness, he learns to appreciate;
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient
I hope your 10year old learns the last two for the world is full of trickery in this beautiful place we live in.
Maybe GMA did not mastermind all that.
At least you give GMA the benefit of the doubt that she did not mastermind all that. Mastermind for what?
In all undertakings, there lies the risk. Good or bust.
But visionaries are risk takers, they will do everything to accomplish what is best.
And that is happening to GMA, if she will not act on projects, on programs, the country will be left behind.
But of course, there are those who oppose, and those who oppose will destroy just like Lozada.
And you said, GMA is a corrupt president.
I want proof… do you know how much money she has in the bank, dollar, euro or pesos in billions; do you know if she is hoarding gold bars, or do you know if GMA has luxurious mansions scattered in Baguio, Ayala Alabang, Boracay mansions, or even in New York, California, or in Europe.
If your proof is only Lozada and a scrapped NBNZTE deal, then I can say GMA is the honest president we ever had.

Im neither of Jun’s side, but objectively looking on it; should this project be pursued, the overpriced deal would add up to our debts (take note, “ours”). Yes, we would be paying that.
It is is not the issue of who brought up or manipulating this matter; it is this “matter” that concerns most. Set aside the senate, set aside Jun; just merely look on the issue per se.
On the debate, ABS CBN had done that in my recollection (HARAPAN- im not even a kapamilya or kapuso as well). It was a good venue of somehow seeing the personalities of these individuals at the same time for the public to analyze the scenario.
But too much debate would not resolve the problem. I agree, court should decide, it is the proper body to adress this matter.
At the same time, we should not stop becoming aware of the different problems yet continue supporting good projects the government have. The perspective of becoming more aware of the right governance is a healthy attitude. Yet, awareness goes with action. Follow the good, constructively criticize the bad…

What is the point of Abalos debating with Lozada? What propositions would they debate upon? It will only give Abalos the chance to sling mud around and obfuscate the issues. The only issue at worth debating upon is whether the people has reached the point of desperation, like a once patient carabao that goes amuck, unable no longer to bear its cruel yoke. I suggest that instead of debate, the best way to ascertain who is telling the truth is for Jun Lozada as well as Benjamin Abalos et.al. to face the local and foreign media in a live press conference, there to field all questions to determine their credibility. In the name of transparency I also dare Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to face the Filipino people through the local and foreign press in such a media conference, not one-on-one interviews that are scripted and mean nothing. Rather than face her accusers, Mrs. Arroyo has been running around in provincial sorties trying to forget the sordid state of the nation. She is fleeing from the ghosts of her criminal government. “The guilty flees when no one pursues, but the innocent is bold as a lion.”

Kahapon nang umaga sa DOS POR DOS, pinatugtog namin ni Gerry Baja ang isang CD na naglalaman ng huntahan sa telepono ng isang Tito Benj at isang Joey.
Base sa aking narinig, kaboses ni dating Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos, Sr. si Tito Benj at ni Jose de Venecia III si Joey.
Bagama’t masaya naman ang takbo ng kuwentuhan nina Tito Benj at Joey, hindi naman nakakatawa ang implikasyon nito lalo na sa ZTE-NBN scandal na iniimbestigahan ng Senado.
Sa panayam ng ABS-CBN News, inamin na ni Joey de Venecia na nangyari talaga ang naturang phone conversation ala Hello Garci ni Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Ngunit hindi pa natin naririnig ang panig ni Chairman Abalos kung aangkinin na kanya ang boses na nasa Hello Tito Benj and Joey.
Pero sa mga mapanuring tenga, mahirap paniwalaan na hindi siya ang may-ari ng boses ni Tito Benj dahil katunog talaga ni Chairman laluna ang kanyang hagikgik.
Narito ang bahagi ng naturang phone conversation.
(A: Tito Benj, kaboses ni Chairman Abalos)
J: Joey, kaboses ni Joey de Venecia)

A: Hi, Joey.
J: Hi, Tito Benj.
A: Good morning. I am sorry but I forgot the other 3 agencies
J: The three other agencies? Ano po iyon?
A: CICT, ang DOTC at saka iyong kaibigan natin. Hik hik hik
J: Oho.
A: Magsingit sana tayo ng mga lima pa para diyan.
J: Ilan ho sila?
A: Lima, tatlo sila pero siyempre kasama na iyong mga tao nila doon hindi ba?
J: Sa palagay niyo mga tig?
(inaudible)
J: Bahala na kayo kayo ang mag-usap.
A: Samaktwid iyong 25 ko gagawin mo na lang 30.
(inaudible) Ako na bahala sa mga agencies
J: Sa NEDA kayo na rin po?
A: Oo, oo.
A: Joey after that, alam mo naman I will be retiring. I hope I could be part of the operations.
J: Yes, yes
A: Thank you ha, thank you Joey ha.
A: Maski na messenger lang ako pwede na. Hahaha
J: Huwag naman sir.
A: Thank you, thank.

Tulad ng Hello Garci tape, ipinagkatiwala rin sa amin ang Tito Benj and Joey upang mabuko ang paglulubid ng kasinungalingan ng ilang naging bisita ng Senado.
‘Ika nga, res ipsa loquitur, hindi na kailangang ipaliwanag pa dahil sapol na kung ano ang mensahe nito.
Sa mga magsisinungaling ulit, humaba sana hindi lang ang ilong n’yo kundi pati ngipin n’yo!

Sa ilang araw na nakalipas, dalawang San Miguel ang gumawa ng pangalan — ang Bb. Pilipinas World na si Janina San Miguel at ang diumano’y miyembro ng Greedy Group +++ na si Leo San Miguel.
Kahiya-hiya man sa paningin ng marami si Janina matapos magkalat sa pagsasalita ng Ingles sa nabanggit na beauty pageant, mas kahiya-hiya ang ginawa ni Leo San Miguel na magaling ngang mag-Ingles ay sablay naman sa pagsasabi ng totoo.
Sa pagitan ng isang mapurol at sinungaling, hindi ako magdadalawang-isip na piliin ang una!

Kapag natuloy ang pagsasanib ng Lakas at KAMPI, mabubuo ang bagong partidong PALAKA — Partido ng Lakas at Kampi.
Sabi nga ni Mandaluyong City Congressman Boyet Gonzales, bagay na bagay ang kanilang battlecry na Leaping Forward…samahan ng mga Palaka!

The solution to CORRUPTION is VIGILANCE, and NOT DISTURBANCE!!!

yes, the solution to corruption is vigilance. but vigilance without action is nothing !!!

Kung ang opposition ay gusto talagang pabagsakin ang administrasyon, dapat sana ay naghanda sila ng matitibay na ebidensya at nang hindi na humaba pa ang usapin.
Pero kasama sa plano ang humaba ang usapin, kaya akusa lang nang akusa, para mas mahaba ang media coverage. Mas mahaba nga lang ang dusa ng bansa at maraming sinasayang na oras ang mga tao sa pagsakay sa issue.

NBN ZTE deal is a betrayal to our country, whether corruption is involved or not. NBN ZTE deal involved the lifeline communication of the government. Hand made in Mainland China with an ideology oppose to our democracy. Surely, Mainland Chinese officials will infiltrate and take advantage of this. Ask the Chinese Yahoo dissidents, Tibetans, people of Darfur… Jose Maria Sison is happy….. Mainland China will be a neighbor just west of Palawan…… see the conflict of interest……. What happened to India, Singapore, Japan, or PLDT (they can provide a working technology) ….. we can have the network not hand made by Mainland CHina. You don’t see the Mainland CHinese interference because they are hard to distinguish from Filipinos, and Filipino Chinese. Look at Darfur (African blacks distinguished from Chinese I guess …. It did not fool the world,…. ask Steven Speilberg, George Clooney and Mia Farrow…… Maybe ask Japan and South Korea too. THe administration might as well invite Fidel Castro, and change the party to NDF Lumakas…… Sure the cold war is over.. Mainland China is the real threat……. Gising na tayo Pinoy……

Kahit na mayroon hard evidence nothing good will happen to all the case has been throw at her. This is one of the reason why she keep saying to take it to court so that her corrupt JUDIARY make sure to trash all the case throw at her. As we already know there is solid evidence against her for being corrupted but she still the one running the country instead of her be in jail, Because she is protected by these corrupt JUDIARY after all they’re under her payroll. PLUS, PLUS, OF COURSE!!!

Yahooooo! Lakas ng kita ni Lozada. Eh magkano kaya Commission ni Ping? Nyahahahahahahahaaha!
National Mental Hospital is Inviting Lozada to be part of the outreach program he was having. Sarap nito.

Jun Lozada did not appear welcome in Cebu to speak at school forums or hold Mass for him even in the company of his gullible priests and nuns. His appearance at a forum were attended by few hero worshippers. A critic who gave him a hard time answering pointed questions was removed bodily by Lozada’s bodyguards when he refused to stop asking about his motives. That goes to show there are less gullible people in Cebu. The suckers come in vast numbers in Metro Manila led by Enteng Romano’s BWM.

eh bakit kaya kinuhang consultant si lozada sa zte……..
technically capable ba siya…….
o sanay siya sa takbo ng mga kickback, kung paano paiimpisin ang bukol……..
ilang project na ba ng gobyerno nakinabang si lozada……..

Yep I saw that. A young student ask him about his motives , but cannot answer back. Then the student was kicked outside the meeting.

ANG SABI NG STUDYANTE KAY LOZADA:
KUNG TOTOONG EYEWITNESS KA, BAKIT DI KA PUMUNTA SA KORTE?
Ang Lozada di makasagot. Ano ba talaga? Iba ibang style na talaga ngayon ang Fund Raising sa pilipinas. baka magkaroon pa ng Jun Lozada Foundation to.
All I can say is, all lies! From your Credit Card to your pag kaka awa effect. Sarap mong balyahin. Di ko alam sa PSG at PNP kung BAKIT ka pa pinakawalan nung dumating ka.
You gave your life to filipino people for saying the truth….your family suffers. Now, you blame the Goverment? Galing mo naman. La ko masabi sayo.

Meanwhile, Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña considered Lozada’s statement as “a natural reflection of the attitude of the people of Manila to the Cebuanos.”
“I am tempted to declare war with people like that but we should not. As I’ve said before, let us not be distracted with these pests. Let us focus on what we have to do here,” added the mayor. “The clear difference between the attitude of the people of Manila and that of Cebu is that we concentrate on building while they concentrate on destroying.”

You’re right! dilikado to! lahat ng communication sa gov ay makikita ng China! Tsugi national security natin! Baka sabihin ng China part tayo sa territory nila…tulad ng ginawa nila sa Tibet–pinapadalhan ng maraming Han Chinese upang maging majority ng population, thus masasabi na nila Tibet is there territory! Grabeh mag-spy ang china…ingats kaayo!

Vox Populi, where your voice will be heard.
It seems the voices of the cebuanos are not heard! I posted comments in this topic–i know its moderated–but people deserves to know the truth.

Lozada is very scared, that’s for sure. Scared of whom? Well…. he’s scared of his “backers”.
Kaya kuntodo ang kampanya nya dahil pag walang nangyari sa pakulo nila, pupulutin sya sa kangkungan.
Eto malamang ang sinabi ng mga backers ni Lozada, “Sige, kami ang bahala sa yo. Pag pumalpak ka, kami na rin ang “bahala” sa yo.” hehehe

After threatening that he may undo what he had learned as Catholic, what treatment would he expect from the priests from the south? And yet, he would point a finger on the Cardinal that there was a ruling not to say mass for him. He has been a “makapili” and became worst than that. It is very clear that he is only being used by the trapos and those who have political ambition. And he is using them as well because he is under financial crisis. Imagine having a “fling” resulting into 4 kids. Amazing. It is not yet late for the priests and nuns who supported him. Please say your sorry now and admit that you were gullible and your judgment has been clouded by J Lo’s OSCAR acting.

To NgobNgob:
Technically speaking….Is there something wrong with it? Whats wrong with pronounciation? Are you perfect? Do you speak very fluent in English? WTF! Pakilawakan naman ang utak nyo. Kaya walang nangyayari sa buhay nyo at sa pilipinas. Hindi dahil sa Opisyal ng gobyerno, kundi dahil sa inyo!
Nga pala, Si Cory may sakit (prayers for you) . Baka gusto nyo ibintang kay GMA yan sabihin nyo na.
ngobngob
mawalang galang po ginoong unggoy may nangyari po sa buhay ko dahil sa pagpupursigi ko magtrabaho dito sa ibang bansa dahil ang gobyerno na pinagmamayabang mo hindi makapagbigay ng disenteng trabaho para sa amin. wala rin po kasi ako kakilala o malakas sa gobyernong kamag-anak para makapasok sa CORRUPT na mga ahensya ng gobyerno mo, pero in fairness matatalino naman mga cabinet offcials gaya na rin ni mr abalos di ba, mantakin mo comelec chairman pero involve sya sa pagplano ng broadband network. totally out of his job description right? yan ang isang rason kaya bagsak ang pilipinas at wag mo kami sisihin ok.

Mawalang galang naring NgobNgob. Pare unang una, nag reply ako sa sulat mo. Baka nais mong basahin muli kung ano yun.
Pangalawa, may isip ka. Bakit HANGGANG NGAYON kailangan mo paring umasa na ang pamahalaan ay makakapag bigay ng magandang trabaho sa buong pilipino. For your info…MATAGAL NANG HINDI! Panahon pa ni Cory, Ramos at Estrada yan parekoy. Masyado kang nabubuhay sa nakaraan. Di mo rin kailangan ng “kapit” para makakuha ka ng trabahong maganda. Sa ngayon, may tinatawag na “Diskarte” - na doon nakilala ang pinoy sa ibang bansa. Di nabibili yan, iniisip at ginagawa yan.
Panghuli, kung ano topic, dun ka ha. Tuloy lang natin to….

Isa pa pala NGOBNGOB.
Magbigay ka nga ng Presidente at Gobyerno mo na hindi Corrupt? Nasa ibang bansa din ako wag ka mag alala. Kaya wag mong maliiitin sarili mo dahil kahit pano tinatawag kang “bayani”. Alam mo pare, tigil mo na pagbabasa mo ng dyaro kung masyado ka apektado. Madami na ang pinagpaliban sa panginoon ang pangyayaring to.
Nga pala, bagay sayo yang pangalan mo.
Lastik
Tama ka pareng Matsing. Daming apektado sa nagyayari sa kakabasa ng dyaro. On the first place aware tayong may kalokohan na nangyayari. Bat di ikaw mismo mag adjust? Ganun talaga eh, kahit ano pa gobyerno ipalit mo dyan, may mag cocorrupt talaga.
Best thing to do is, dont get affected. Mag isip ka kabayan. Wag mong ipairal ang ka pilosopohan mo.

its a sad thing that the abalos issue is now on the pages of “forget it and soon it will die”
ombudsman should immediately act with the nbn-zte deal because it involves widespread corrption not to mention abuse of authority of those people who should serve their country with honesty and integrity….
since the mayorship stint of abalos he is notorious as commissioner of all mandaluyong transaction from letterhead to public works,he and his allies including his former city budget officer have amassed a lot of kickbacks and the result..the budget officer has been able to construct a multi-million mansion in Mandaluyong City and his Boss is able to expand his business interest from construction, trading.agri-business like the multi-million prawn and milkfish farm in Zambales.
His stint in MMDA is also a lot anomalous activities like divertion of funds and necessary spending.
His stint in Comelec is the worst for he help this regime to occupy the presidency with the legal? tactics of tampering electoral ballots, mediator of controversial electoral protest and padrino of the corruption-tainted purchase of electronic counting machines…and he want to challenge lozada? yung buwaya gustong awayin ang butiki kasi nabuko na nga yung kagarapalan nya.
Hay abalos, tama na sa dugas..yung pera mo sobra-sobra na hanggang sa 4th generation ng lahi mo.
Huwag ng magsinungaling at habang may panahon ka pa makonsensiya ka!
