QUESTION: How many Philippine senators does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: 24 plus their assistants.
I can only observe with distress why nothing ever gets resolved in this country. Malacañang says they will not attend Senate hearings unless the Senate publishes the rules.
How many debates will we have over radio and television? How many statements to the press will we hear? How many bombastic and self-righteous remarks are we away from resolving this?
Maybe I just have a simple mind, but if the rules are already there, then just publish it so we can get moving on these investigations. Isn’t that the simplest, most direct step to take? Can these supposedly learned and principled men for once just do things right?
Just publish the damn rules and get it over with! What is so difficult with that?

MC_90 if you still pretending our country is on the right track tama ka sa sarili mo lang,but sabi ko nga mas kaawaawa ang taong nagtatanga tangahan, nagbubulag-bulagan, at nagdunong-dunungan…hay pag ganyan isip ng pilipino talagang papalubog na tayo…
Allan, Ronald ang isyu ay malinaw may pagkakasala sa bayan ang rehimeng gloria pero kung lagi nyong ipapalagay sa sarili nyo na di patas ang aking mga pananaw ay maluwag kong tinatanggap…ang sa akin lang papanagutin si gma etal, si jun lozada at kung sino pang patuloy na nagpapahirap sa bayan…hindi selective ang isyu..ang totoong isyu patuloy nilang pinagsasamantalahan ang ating bansa at maging si jun Lozada ay bahagi ng sistema ng corruption…sana maging totoo rin kayo na maraming isyu ng corruption na patuloy na pinagtatakpan at tinatago ng gma corrupt-poration at malacanang mafia…magpakatotoo ka at huwag maging hangal base lamang sa iyong paniniwala, patuloy kang magmasid, makialam at makilahok sa isyu ng sa ganun ay mapakinabangan mo ang dunong mo at hindi lamang magaling sa pananalita at naway maging bahagi ka ng pagmumulat ng kaisipan ng ordinaryong pilipino na dapat ng sama-samang hadlangan at labanan ang corruption…
hanga ako sa tibay ng paniniwala mo, ipagpatuloy mo lang yan at sa darating na panahon ay malalaman mo ang ganap na katotohanan.

Ms Maria Makiling, wala akong sinabi sa sinulat ko na hindi totoo. Ang ginagawa ni Jun Lozada ay isang maling halimbawa na hindi dapat tularan. Hindi porket bumaliktad ka ay abswelto kana sa mga pagnanakaw na ginawa mo. Anong aral gusto ninyo iparating , na okay magnakaw basta may maituturo ka na mas malakas magnakaw? Mga baluktut pala yang mga paniniwala ninyo. Kaya hindi kataka taka , wala ng naniniwala sa mga opinion ninyo.

Sabi ko na sa`yo, abbygail, kumandidato tayong presidente; this is one way to unseat her! The advantage for the people is hindi tayo masyadong magnanakaw.
Lozada–fear of implication when this thing really explodes which, in his own “tuso” way, he saw coming. Hero? My brown and smooth patootsie! This word has become so cheap in its prostitution we might as well pronounce it “(y)ellow!”

MBC executive director Alberto Lim said “Catching the Big Fish” would focus on such cases as the P728-million fertilizer scam involving former Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn Bolante; the unexplained wealth of military comptrollers including retired Maj. Gen. Carlos Garcia, who is charged with plunder; the P700-million IMPSA power project; the P1.04-billion Mega-pacific vote-counting machines; the NBN-ZTE deal, and Malacañang’s P500,000 cash gifts to congressmen and local government executives.
