If Noynoy has Kris, I’ve got Pacquiao, Villar says

Nauna nang sinabi ni Kris na once Noynoy wins, mag-a-abroad na lang daw sya at pipiliin nyang maging Overseas Filipino Worker. Bongga ang political campaign ni Noynoy Aquino sa Zamboanga. Pinili daw nila to start in Zamboanga given na merong spiritual konek ang city na to sa family nila and this was where Noynoy Aquino decided to run as President. Dinumog si Kris Aquino sa Zamboanga Airport pa lang while husband James was already in the city bago sa sila dumating kaya …

Dalawang buwan na lang.
May napili ka na bang kandidato? If yes, good for you. Pero sure ka na ba?
If wala pa, pwes piliin mo ang manok ko. Si Atcheng Jamby. Charing! Hahaha! Mag-isip ka friend kung sino ba ang karapat-dapat na maging pangulo natin. Be informed, and most of all, choose Jamby. Hahaha!

Anyway, ito na ang kauna-unahang automated elections sa Pilipinas. Mabuhay! Pero teka, ang tanong, matutuloy nga ba ang naturang automated elections? Dahil kung ibabase ko sa aking mga nakalap na impormasyon sa tv, radio, tsismisan sa kanto at …

BLOG is defined as “usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries” . wikipedia
People have different reasons why they blog for the same reason that people have different realities. But I am not interested about other reasons why they BLOG. I will speak for myself and I suppose some if not majority of trying-hard bloggers share the same reasons with …

Everyone in the media knows Lito Banayo’s in Erap’s team. And we note that he and his teammate Dacky Paredes have been attacking Villar consistently. Sometimes I wonder just how much patience everyone has for this billiard game – You hit the cue ball: Villar. All the other colored balls that move in chain reaction from the cue ball either fall into a target basket OR go rolling to some other direction. That takes patience and steady nerve. How …

More election break!
We need this election break. We need to take a breather. Dahil mainit ang panahon with rolling brownouts. So before we go back sa mga maiinit na batuhan in politics, World Peace muna.

There is something magical with the latest viral video going around – it’s the YouTube version of “We are the world”. How in the world were they able to pull this off?! Imagine if Filipino bloggers worldwide would do the same type of project for the Filipino people especially during this election instead of cannibalizing and …

Time-out muna tayo sa politics mga ka-barrio ha? Consider this report as a commercial break dahil it’s really getting hot sa Barrio Siete. In fact, mas mukhang tinatalo na nga ng aming blog ang El Nino sa init ng discussions dito. Charing!

Thinking of being a blogger? Touch political topics? Show your political color?
Be warned in the jungle. It’s Jurassic Park in Pinoy blogosphere, with dark characters roaming the grounds run by dark societies. I am by no means discouraging you to be a blogger, but consider my short movie presentation…
Reyna Elena has another stalker fan who follows me around. First, he blogged about my delicious affair with an emperor.

Angry with my presidential choice, he turned me into a pig. A freak one. How did I know? He was very nice to …

In my Barrio, hindi lang saklaan meron kami, movie house too. Betamaks nga lang sya. And back during my days in da Barrio, when I was still small, very very small, most of what I see in the movies, after selling one lata of kamote, are that the rich are mostly evil. Mga impakta sila. And typically, the rich are the politicians. In fact, I now remember, in every movie, if there is a Gobernador o kaya Meyor, almost always, he’s a murderer, a manipulative power-hungry animal out to do …

Don’t you just love the political carnival at the moment? This must only be happening in the Philippines. I mean, the entire nation is totally into this election, most banats you read or hear are pretty nasty and ugly personal. They’re not just confined to electoral candidates but bloggers too. Yours truly is one of the favorites.
I had this email conversation with another Overseas Filipino from somewhere down under and this is what she has to say:
“People in the Philippines always know which side of their …

Let’s face it: every election season na lang, lagi na lang pinagsasabong na parang manok ang mga kandidato dito sa atin. Sabi ni Juan, mas magaling ang kanyang kandidato. Sabi ni Pedro, mas magaling ang kanyang manok kesa sa manok ni Juan.
This kind of partisanship and divisiveness among Filipino voters have been used as a leverage by the candidates …

I was reading this article written by Jose Maria Montelibano of the Philippine Daily Inquirer and I thought I found it very interesting.
According to the article, the TNS survey clearly showed how Noynoy reversed his downward trend and Villar going downward after steadily going up.
When TNS came out with its results, Aquino had arrested his slide and, in fact, gained a few points from 37% to 41%. In contrast, Villar lost 5 points, from 35% to 30%, allowing Noynoy Aquino to lead by 11 points.

In my …

Let’s face it, in every election period – the presidentiables get all the scrutiny.
Sila hetong pinagsasabong sa mga forums, ‘round table’ at political gatherings.
Now, I wonder mga ka-barrio…
Do you still care about our Vice President nominees?
Well, I am one of those voters who really do.
So…
Kindly help me out as I am torn between these four hopefuls. Here are my picks in no random order:
Bayani Fernando

This former MMDA Chairman really caught my attention before as he literally painted the town pink! Generally, I admire this guy because he has this …

I always have this thought: I dont believe that our country is literally poor, we are just one heck of a mismanaged country. I notice that this particular ‘poverty mindset’ is more dominant during elections. The political advertisements that we have on TV, print and internet are always emphasizing in the poor plight of our countrymen and hailing their candidates as the so-called messiahs that could literally uplift the poor from their ramshackles.
What most people forget to think is this: if your country runs in an economy based …

Raise your right mouse… how many of you followed the so many presidential debates and forums – because I can’t follow them no more. I begin to wonder, just how many presidential forums and presidential debates do we all need from the presidentiables for it to be meaningful to all of us? And for us to decide what color to paint the town?
Like Randy David in his column: How useful are presidential debates, I do find some of these presidential forums and presidential debates not only unsatisfying and misleading, sometimes …

This is soooo not fierce of a news to all the pugitas, tilapias and anti-pinoys under the leadership of Paul Farol & Benigno who has been ramping up every anti-pinoy to completely bury Noynoy Aquino’s survey ratings with even some partnership with divaloserness of Dona Victorina plus the shamer Brian Gorrell. Oh my gawdness, pro’lly another blast of photo-shopped Run, Reyna Run is gonna be sprouting on the net from our tilapia brained pugita HIV Gorrell opponents out there! Pretty soon, they’ll be spreading lies na deretso ako.
But what can …

Ok. Ever since I outed myself supporting Noynoy Aquino for Philippine Presidency, I’ve earned the ire and hatred of a lot of Filipinos. Well, this time around, I have to prepare, because Canadians will hate me this time. Why?

Did you watched the Vancouver Olympic Opening Ceremonies?
One word. Boring. I mean, really. Achingly boring.
At first, I thought I was watching cartoons. Then there was this guy who was like a preacher. Oh! And KD Lang with her/his Allelujah! I was confused if I was watching the Olympics or a Prayer …

Hello, hello! Guess who’s back to join the circus?

First of all, I’d like to apologize for not making sulat any contribution last month. You see, I just got back from the ‘happy place’ after suffering a massive breakdown due to my involvement in that infamous golf player scandal. Yes, yours truly was also a kasalo, and I was slut #19. (insert Krista Ranillo laugh here). Anyway, I’m okay now and Yaya Indira (a.k.a. slut #20) is doing great too.
Today is the official start of the circus commonly known to us …

And so Noynoy Aquino and Manny Villar are now statistically tied based on the latest Pulse Asia survey. I’m disappointed to see Noynoy’s ranking went down, then again, understand that there’s no denying that Manny Villar’s basura advertisement worked.
Previous to the Pulse Asia results, the latest SWS Survey results have it that, Aquino at 42%, Villar at 35%. It’s now down to 7% and Villar camp sees it as within striking distance. Now, understand that the inclusive dates as to when the survey was conducted was January 21 to …

Jan. 21, 2010. This is the day a miniscule blogger was picked on by a pea-size brained Philippine government official. A blogger named Ella of Blog ni Ella is now facing libel charges from an article about those “rotting” merchandise inside the DSWD warehouses.
If you guys can remember, the Philippines took a beating from typhoon Ondoy last October 2009. It was October 22, 2009, when we issued an article in reference to the original article of Blog ni Ella regarding the state of of some government relief efforts in some …

Sports, hollywood, and political celebrities have joined hands in helping the victims of this recent tragedy to the already suffering nation, and help us all realize what life is truly about. Unfortunately, fanatical comments, like such made by Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh, have made more headlines than the good-doers. The media is also filled with images of the distruction, the dead, and the dying living us with nothing to the imagination and the victims no sense of respect or privacy.

But amidst all of this catastrophe, there many acts of humanity that were left unnoticed by the press. Everywere in the country, Haitians and other volunteers have come together to help fellow victims and pick up whatever there is left. Many of those who perished were volunteers who had done heroic acts of kindness for the impoverished country.

I assume alam niyo na ang chika ngayon na sinugod raw ni Kris Aquino ang rumoured girlfriend ng husband niyang si James Yap. Kung hindi pa, pwes ngayon alam niyo na.
According to the Inquirer,
Show biz celebrity Kris Aquino confronted a female fan of her husband, basketball star James Yap, shouting insults at the woman and her mother just outside their upscale Pasig City residence late Wednesday, the Inquirer learned Thursday. The popular TV host and movie actress spent about 10 minutes at the gate of the Valle Verde 2 home …

Presidential survey second-placer Senator Manuel Villar unleashed yet again potshots against the May 2010 polls frontrunner Senator Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino Jr., as he questioned the latter’s capacity to lead the country.
At a presidential policy forum on Thursday organized by the Carlos P. Romulo Foundation, Villar said those aspiring to become President should have a track record to back up one’s bid.
Replying to a question raised by University of the Philippines Professor Carol Hernandez on what campaign promises they would change once elected as President, Villar said his track record should …

Ang mga OFW na nagbabakasyon sa Pinas ay nangangailangang magbigay pugay sa templo (POEA) upang kumuha ng kaukulang dokumento na tinatawag na OEC. Ito ay clearance na hinahanap ng mga opisyales ng immigration bago ka palabasin at tuluyang paliparin sa bansang iyong pinagtratrabahuhan. Nitong aking nakaraang luwas sa Manila inabot ako ng pagpapalit ng hugis ng buwan sa pagkuha ng aking OEC.
