After years of battling cancer, Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy passes away. One great American Senator from one great American Family, almost a revered name in America, a “Kennedy”. Given na tayong mga Filipino eh mamimili nang bagong Presidente come 2010, I thought I’d share you what I read on CNN on Ted Kennedy’s timeline. Check out his legislations. Eto yong sinasabing mga tunay na legislation that benefits people. Para saken, he’s a role model sa mga kung sinong gustong maging kongresista sa Pilipinas at hindi yong mga bills na pinapasa eh rename a street with their kulasisi’s name o kaya mag-declare nang another christmas day.

So, here are excerpts of Ted Kennedy’s timeline, lifted from CNN’s Politics

These were the legacies that Ted Kennedy left America. Matindi ang mga bills na to na dapat tularan nang mga kongresistang Pilipino. Tigilan ako nang mga bills on holidays. Tigilan ako nang mga bills to rename a street. Tigilan ako nang mga bills na singko sentimos. Binalandra ko to because I believe Ted’s work in terms of legislations is a lesson in government sa mga Pinoy.

    Pogi sya nong bata pa sya. Sabi sa report he died the same day, almost to the hour when he was diagnosed.

    • Glo says:

    Eunice Kennedy-Shriver also died this month ‘di ba? Tinatawag na yata ni God ang mga angels dito sa lupa.

  • Snow says:

    Among the political families sa USA, ang Kennedy’s ang pinakagusto ko. Well, hindi naman sila uber perfect pero they have genuine care sa American people. Sana ganyan mga politicians sa Pinas noh?

    Hay, wishful thinking. :(

  • dFish says:

    Thank you Ted for your statemanship, a rare political commodity in our country at present…

  • Glo says:

    ang galing ng mga legislation na ginawa nya! very impressive. i wonder why di sya nag-run for president? he would have been a great president.

    ang tapos na ang mission sa mundo,namamatay na. kaya yung mga masamang damo ang haba ng buhay…kasi they never get it right.

    kelangan lang may exit para umalis sa mundo. ang exit ni ted kennedy eh brain cancer. ;)

      he did tried to run for President ateng. kinalaban nya nun si Nixon but di sya nanalo. i think he was meant to be Senator and given the meat nung mga legislations nya, talagang tugma at yon ang role nya.

      compare mo sa mga legislation nang mga humahataw sa pork bariles saten. ang kina-kairita ko ang mga bills to honor kung sino sinog pontio pilato, papalitan ang name nang avenida, ide-declare na holiday ang araw nang pasko at kung ano ano pa. nakuu! nag-iinit ang butse ko talaga! which really means, na pag tayong mga tiga Barrio Siete ang nag-run for Congress, ube-qualified tayo.

      • Glo says:

        ahh kalaban nya pala si NIxon sa presidency noon?! grabe manay…ang bata ko pa. ;) hahahha!!!

        anyways…im currently reading your pork bariles post. grabe, kumulo din dugo ko. dapat ikaw ang maging head ng COA dito! putek semplang-semplangin mo silang lahat. eh pano naman dito lahat ng office at employees ng nasabing office sa gobyerno eh nababayaran. lahat sila nakatikim ng pork bariles.

        hayyy pilipinas, nawawalan na ako ng pag-asa sayo!

        • reynz says:

          • Glo says:

            hahaha! grabe. sino bang tiga rito sa B7 ang tatakbong president in the future? para makuha ka nang head ng COA. ;) hahaha.
