Let me begin by saying that you will be reading a SONA reaction from a loyal Noynoy Aquino supporter. However, this does not mean that I will be singing kumbaya with my President at all times – just because. Having said that, I will try to be fair with Gloria Arroyo (Can you imagine me saying that? I must be going nuts!) By saying that the findings would have been more believable if it was conducted by a third-party and/or independent auditors and I’m certainly not referring …

President Benigno Aquino’s 1st State of the Nation Address (SONA) will be shocking, says one headline news. It reads: “Aquino says SONA will ‘shock’ Filipinos“. But if you read it, it’s all about how much was left by the Arroyo’s on the national coffers. That’s not shocking. That’s expected from these corrupt [insert bloody anything here]. What is shocking is that – you still see all of these KUPALS (thanks to Larry Leviste) prancing around – even in the halls of Congress. That’s what’s shocking.
Several weeks ago, out came the …

Wang-wang mentality
Wang-wang mentality is really an abuse of power and privilege. It’s bloody annoying to read comments saying that this wang-wang policy is too tiny mini-mayni-mo of a problem to even deserve presidential attention. Naknampooka oo! Translated into common Pinoy language: “Los Indios, lumayas kayo sa kalsada! Wala kayong karapatan ni anuman dahil dadaan kami”. Only the wannabes cannot understand how symbolically big this bloody wang-wang culture is. Worse, government officials are rabidly guilty of these as well as the rich and notoriously wannabe …

(Typo on July 3. Sorry)
Gloria Arroyo, once the illegal occupant of Malacanang is now officially a Congresswoman. At least, she was elected in that position. Without wasting any time, she took the very first step towards charter change and filed a resolution to change the constitution.
Love it or hate it, she deserves credit for being a fast legislator.
In fact, she is still the President of the Philippines. Blame it on the Aquino Team who is very, very, very, very slow. Maybe they’re not really slow; there is just nobody …

My response?! DA NERD!!!

Just how many “Unsolicited advice” have we heard from so many wannabe-advisors to President Noynoy? Quite a lot, davah? Imfak, Gloria has one too many. Malacanang Palace too! But here is one piece of unsolicited advice that I just can’t help reacting.
Malacañang gave incoming President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III a lesson or two on governance, cautioning him against discriminating his political opponents during his six-year term daw! Tapang magsalita!!!
They said:
You are the president even of your enemies.
“When you become the President, you become the President of …

With just a little over two weeks remaining in Gloria Arroyo’s presidency stay in Malacanang, her supporters and detractors, in fact Gloria Arroyo herself, are already hard at work crafting two very different versions of her historic and/or corruption laden legacy. And you better believe me when I say that no one is working harder to leave a favorable mark than Gloria Arroyo herself. In fact, she bombarded the airwaves with videos of her accomplishments. The video shows an economic boom. Great highways, whether you travel North or the South. …

Can you believe this?! Our country’s debt is now a whopping P4.4 trillion! And there is not even a decent expressway that spans from south of Manila all the way to Matnog, Sorsogon. All we hear are Nograles unexplained wealth, Arroyo’s sons unexplained wealth and more! The article said:

“All borrowings under President Arroyo’s term–that racked up the country’s outstanding debt to a whopping P4.2 trillion as of 2008 from only P2.2 trillion in 2000–were necessary, her economic managers argue, amid accusations the President was responsible for the country’s deepening …

Aquino-Binay: No news
Congress says it’s final. It’s Aquino and Binay. I visited some of the blogs that I visit frequently, I checked the statuses of some of my FB friends, and everyone in cyberspace is silent. Mar Roxas is mulling an electoral protest. He should, it’s a very close fight. He shouldn’t because it will take 7 years to resolve the issue.
Proxy war
Gloria appointed 250 people to juicy positions in what is now called midnight madness. One of which was the Armed Forces of the Philippines …

Now we know why these journalists were the attack dogs during the election campaign. For a job well done, they were given prizes. Take a look.

A very interesting read about the Balkans that we, in the Philippines can relate. The article discusses the problems and possible solutions (some sections of the case study were removed). In the Balkans, organized crime is their big corruption problem. In the Philippines, it seemed like the [insert word here] is the mafia. In the Balkans, they have incentives. In the Philippines? Nada. What we have is easier national unity, never having to grapple with ethnic civil wars.

What a news!
The Ombudsman cleared President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo of culpability for their roles in the aborted $329-million national broadband deal known as ZTE controversy, but recommended the filing of criminal and administrative charges against former Commission on Elections chief Benjamin Abalos and Neri.

No.

Sabi sa news, Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III will no longer take his oath before a barangay (village) captain, instead, is now considering a notary public, a judge or a justice of the Court of Appeals to swear in the Liberal Party standard-bearer or probably a associate justice of the Supreme Court.
In effect mga kabarrio – wa pa decision.
“If you take your oath before an associate justice, that shows your continued respect for the Supreme Court as …

Dear Mr. President-elect:
As a gesture of good faith, please release all prisoners of conscience.
In return, as our gesture of our good faith, we will actively assist in the prosecution of the enemies of the people, starting with Gloria Arroyo, Hermogenes Esperon, Jovito Palparan, Mike Arroyo, Mike Defensor, Jocjoc Bolante and everyone’s favorite, Mr. Comelec himself, the famous, Garci.

Corona was Chief of Staff and Spokesman of Vice President Arroyo then. When Gloria Arroyo became President, he became the Presidential Chief of Staff, Spokesman and later, Acting Executive Secretary. Despite the ban on midnight appointments, Gloria nominated Corona. Corona accepted. He is the new Chief Justice of Gloria Arroyo, the new Congresswoman who was repudiated during this election.
I leave the discussions on the legality, the constitutionality of the issues surrounding this appointment, to lawyers and constitutional experts. Nakiki-chika lang ako.
Because, aside from what President-elect Noynoy Aquino’s campaign …

I love reading the editorials on the Inquirer. It’s like reading one from the New York Times.
This editorial is about the Corona issue and Gloria Arroyo’s continued belligerence which is almost equivalent to insulting President-elect Noynoy Aquino. “Instead of allowing the country to savor the end of the long crisis of legitimacy that began—and deepened— from 2001-2005, the present administration chose to pursue its strategy of manufacturing crises so as to maximize its opportunities for aggrandizing power.” says the editorial.

Here it is:
Judicial quarantine
An editorial by the Philippine Daily Inquirer
WHILE …

Mr. Corona, the overwhelming majority votes by the Filipino people to Noynoy Aquino are a clear repudiation of Gloria Arroyo.,
While President-elect Noynoy Aquino can rightfully claim a landslide win, Gloria Arroyo’s presidential, vice-presidential and seven (7) Lakas Kampi-CMD senatorial bets suffered a landslide wipe out. The message of the Filipino people is clear. We reject any endorsement coming from her, worse, midnight appointments.
Yet, despite the clear message and wanting of the Filipino people for change, Gloria Arroyo still has the audacity to disrespect the incoming President-elect by nominating you as …

“I was trained by GMA (as an economist), she was my professor” in microeconomics at the Ateneo de Manila University, Aquino said in an ambush interview.
“She gave me a B+,” he said smiling. “She was a brilliant teacher, she communicated well…I think she taught us very sound fundamentals. I never thought she’d turn out this way…her governance is primarily for political survival,” he added.

There was this news yesterday.
“Malacañang announced Wednesday morning that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has chosen Supreme Court Associate Justice Renato Corona to replace Chief Justice Reynato Puno, who is scheduled to retire on May 17. Associate Justice Renato Corona will replace Chief Justice Reynato Puno, who hangs his robes on May 17. Supreme Court photo Presidential spokesman Ricardo Saludo said that President Arroyo picked Corona, 61, from among the four nominees submitted by the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC), a Palace source said.” (Source: GMA News)

“The world’s eyes will be focusing on us come Monday. There are already a number of international papers writing about what is going on in the country. Here’s an article written by Brett M. Decker, an editorial page editor of The Washington Times. He writes about the software problems to the possibility of Arroyo abrogating the elections next week and its ultimate effect on investor and BPO client perception of the Philippines. Like what I’ve been saying on my FB wall, let’s not pray for honest and free elections …

Have anyone of you read this very interesting piece of news by ABS-CBN? In it’s opening paragraph, it says “The security of the first nationwide automated elections in May is in the hands of Philippine Military Academy (PMA) “Makatarungan” Class of 1978, the batch that adopted President Arroyo as an honorary member. The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), from the top, is packed with President Arroyo’s “mistahs.”
What it means is that, Gloria Arroyo might not be in power anymore but the AFP and the PNP has a …

Oo mga kabarrio. Manicure, pedicure and hair-bonding will give you an appointive government post, ki Gloria.
Hindi sa ino-okray ko ang mga manikyurista, pedikyurista at mga humahatak nang buhok dyan, otherwise, baka pag-initan ako nang sisterrette na merong salon sa Albay at habulin ako nang baluktot na gunting hahaha!
Sa Amerika mga kabarrio, sandamukal na Student Loans ang kinana nang lola nyo, makapasok lang sa mga unibersidad dito. Oo nabayaran ko na ang mga utang na yon dala nang sangkaterbang social climbing, pamamalimos, hinagpis, pagtanggap nang labada at pag-benta nang raffle …

Probably brought about by spiralling survey ratings caused by serious blunder to blunder campaign and a slew of lies including the psycho report which is indefensible, in a 360 degree turn, Manny Villar now wants to prosecute all twistedly corrupt government officials including Gloria Arroyo. Makes me wonder, who would be number one on his list? His name?!
“Too late the hero”.

When Manny Villar said Friday morning that he will prosecute all government officials including Gloria Arroyo, the question is not whether he will do it — the answer is too …

Okay guys and gals, THE SITUATION HAS BECOME SO SCARY!
The military is held by Gloria Arroyo’s mistahs. The Supreme Court is held by her appointees. She caused a mad scramble for the Chief Justice post by starting the vetting after the Highest Court ruled beyond reason to put upside down the half-a-century doctrine against midnight appointment. This she does to lure incumbent justices to bid for her graces if only to be appointed as CJ.
She also has already issued about a hundred clearly eleventh-hour appointments to executive posts …

Remember the expose of Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano in 2007 about the secret bank account of the Arroyos in HypoVereins Bank? Yan ang bagong chika mga kabarrio. Ang lolo nyo daw eh baka mega-plantsa kung ano ang kelangang gawin sa mga kaperahan sa Germany.
Pero wait, we actually don’t know! Dahil, baka nga this has to do also sa partnership nang Fraport AG sa Piatco when they built the $350 million Terminal 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Eto nga ba ang dahilan?
Whatever the drama behind this midnight appointment of …
