Name: Milfred CommentsHere's my comments on the presidentiables; 1. Nonoy Aquino - his unfortunate affinity with someone can lost him the presidency. 2. M. Villar - his inability to confront his accusers, makes everybody believe that he is culpable. 3. Erap - his being tagged as the mastermind of the Dacer killing is quite frightening. 4. Gibo - he is thought of as very intelligent and capable but his association with the outgoing president, leaves some doubt on who owns his allegiance. Name: iloy CommentsGibo is the suitable choice. Ninoy is banking on his parents which is bad. Villar maybe presumed innocent but imagine if these accusations are true, then it is a grave betrayal of public trust. Name: Dragonslayer CommentsIf I am an aspiring candidate in PI and was asked "how are you going to get rid of corruption in the Philippines?", my most probable reply would be, I will declare MARTIAL LAW as my first act (with staged believable reasons), get rid of the legislature and all persons in the way of economic and social progress, build bigger prisons, boost the military, suspend all all non-performing and unproductive government branches and officials and house them in jails, consolidate power with the and rule by decree. It is viable solution if seriousness is a qualification. Any other answer is none other than just an empty promise by a lying candidate. Name: Baldomera CommentsMga Pinoy huag kayong padadala sa mga panloloko ng ibang kandidato, bulsa lang nila ang inaalala nila di buhay nyo. Look so many of u leave for abroad to support ur spouse & kids, at the expense of all the hardships and sufferings dahil sa hirap ng buhay sa Pinas, tapos boboto na naman kayo ng mga kurakot, babaero, lasenggero, sugarol. Those men like Villar, Erap, Gordon, that Christian kuno na Bro Eddie, ba yan? e will just enrich themselves once they become pres. by buying real estate in North America, Europe or Asia. Tapos kayo mga gagong Pinoy kayod ng kayod sa hirap. Name: Thomas CommentsSen. Villar's refusing to participate & defend himself in a duly represented Senate is tantamount of (1) admitting his guilt (2) afraid to face the truth (3) in contempt of the Senate where he belongs (4) disrespect of the democratic due process of law. How can a man like this become a president who will determine the future & destiny of millions of Pilipinos?? Only in the Philippines !!! Name: elicsyon wats CommentsInteresting stuff about the Presidentiables: Gordon: Amboy - refused to give up both positions as SBMA Chairman & Mayor but forced by Supreme Court to choose - selected the more lucrative w/c was Chairman, of course - nandoon iyong pera, double take sana, killjoy Supreme Court. Erap: Kanto boy - "I want to be King again" jueteng-king... isip ba nya, bida sya sa Titanic! Villar: Tondo boy - but branded "duwag" at "manunuhol" by Enrile/C-5 mess (Joker blames all). Gibo: Mama's boy na, yes dear pa - ...mama Merced/madam Monica (Imelda Marcos wannabe) Aquino: Only boy- didn't talk to Kris for 7 yrs due to morality issue & no primadona like Imelda ! Name: Baldomera CommentsI am sorry to say Gago, kasi so many of my kababayan r not using their heads, not thinking of the consequence of their stupid decision to vote for someone like Villar, Erap or that milking Christian guy. What these men say or do r just facades. Matalino naman mga Pinoy pero bakit madaling maloko ng mga ugok na politiko? Personally, I have nothing against these kurakot men, but knowing how to read the face and hands, isang tingin lang ke Erap, Villar, Bro, etc. I cannot trust them period. To the youth, I am a senior citizen here in Canada who left the country 40 yrs ago bec of martial law, I beg u to pls use ur head and conscience, Not bec ur a Bro. Eddie's or Iglesia ni Christo follower or sarap pakinggan na rags to riches or makamasa akong kandidato. Vote wisely. Name: JRH CommentsSen. Villar expertly manipulated the system. He made statements explaining that he's not guilty of anything whatsoever. It's obvious that he knew everything about this C5 project beforehand. The problem now is he bolted away right after his speech before the senate panel. No one was able to question him. Why? It's bothersome to hear him say that he's not in gov't just to make money. Well, how about the P6.2 million he got? Likewise, Sen. Lacson skipped town, location unknown. Guilty people flea the scene of the crime don't they? Name: blumentritt CommentsWhat will you do if you are the president? [Erap] I’ll be the King and reclaim pasig river [Perlas] I’ll make the Philippines the pearl of the pacific [Villlanueva] I’ll convert everyone to christianity [Jamby] I’ll be a tiger madam president this chinese new year [Noy] I’ll turn over the presidency later to roxas [Gibo] I will pardon gloria right away [Villar] I got 6 billion of your money to give back because of my C5 bulilyaso [Gordon] I have my hero (bayani) beneath my wings. Name: Danilo Dimailig CommentsIf I will have the opportunity to vote I think I will vote for Gilbert Teodoro. He is very articulate and knows what he is doing. I hope the Pilipino people will certainly scrutinize all the the candidates for the president before casting their vote. Name: Tagaguhit CommentsVoters generally do not choose their leaders because of good governance, platform or issues, according to a top official of the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), citing the government agency’s study. “I’m sure there are intelligent voters among us, but it is not yet in the consciousness of the greater public to vote on the basis of performance, platform or issues,” said Dr. Romulo Virola, secretary general of the NSCB. Now, what we will expect in this coming election? Name: Piping Dilat CommentsAng eleksyon sa Pilipinas ay parang laro ng mga bata "agawan base" lang! Pagalingan, kampihan, pabilisan at utakan!!! Name: Louise Gail CommentsWhy Noynoy? Did he prove himself enough? Could you give me an example or proof that he could preside over our country better than Arroyo? Learn to vote wisely... We don't have to take risk of having a better Pinas from choosing the famous over the experienced and tried. No offence meant... Personal comments only! vote wisely!!! IT'S FOR THE GOOD OF MANY..... Name: Baldomera CommentsWhatever Villar does like Erap, who counts on the Pinoy masses to garner votes, I am not impressed. Yeah rags to riches? U really think Pinoy are that dumb to vote for corrupt men eh? So what if Noynoy has little experience? Just bec these guys handled business or this gov't postings does not mean they r qualified or capable to be honest to run the country. So gusto nyo me Utak iboto, para Utakan uli kayo ng pagkurakot like GMA & family? Give me a break, r u that gullible and a fool? I'd rather have a president who has no experience in kurakot than all of those other presidentiables. huag na lang. Noy and Mar pa rin ako, at least these 2 r brilliant, may pagkatao and w/integrity. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsGilbert "Gibo" Teodoro topped the 1989 RP bar exam. Gibo passed the 1997 New York USA bar exam. Gibo was congressman of Pampanga's 1st district three (3) times, nine (9) Yrs 1998 - 2007. Gibo's wife, Monica Louise Prieto is now Pamgpanga's congressman, replacing her husband after Gibo was appointed Sec of Defense by PGMA in 2007. Teodoro is closely indentified with his uncle, San Minquel Corp boss Eduardo Cojuangco (Ko Huang Co). LINK Name: zeny CommentsLike what Sen, Miriam Santiago said " We all better resign" Should she set an example to resign first so the rest will follow. It's not nice to see the Senators bitching each other. What happen to our delikadeza , everyone is just showing there vested interest. Sad to say what Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile effort to clean up our country failed with his EDSA I. Given the chance was Cory Aquino, then Fidel Ramos, Erap. What did they do ? Among the evils, GMA is the least among then all, no matter how hard she tried to help the country with her best discipline character , the rest will try to ruin her. Among the list of presidentialble I think " Gibo" is still the best candidate . Name: Cris Fan CommentsI can envision it, in thirty years or so from now. Ang favorite presidential candidate si Baby James Yap naman. At sasabihin rin niyan "I'm not retarded, you are". Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsSen Richard "Dick" Gordon, 1975 UP bachelor of law graduate, was mayor of Olongapo City 1980-86, 1988-93. Dick's wife Katherine a 3 times congresswoman took over in 1998 (1 Yr). James L. Gordon Jr. is Olongapo's current mayor, 2001-2010. James T Gordon was Olongapo's mayor 1964-67. Amelia Gordon was Olongapo's mayor 1967-72. Altogether 32 years Gordons are mayors of Olongapo City to the present. > LINK Name: T2 JESS CommentsThe definition that OFWs' remittances as a FOREIGN AID by one blogger by the name of Dragonslayer is just BS. A foreign Aid is government to government assistance as in military aid, economic aid, etc. There is no such thing as "employment aid". Dragonslayer's new definition of the phrase FOREIGN AID is an insult to the intelligence of an average Filipino who went to school. Now, Dragonslayer had said something that will come to bite and haunt him. He got himself boxed-in. May I remind Dragonsalyer, that Foreign Aid comes from the backs of the donor's citizens and not from its foreign workers. OFW's remittances are blood and sweat of migrant workers from the PHILIPPINES that are taxed by their own government. Name: T2 JESS CommentsThe on- going debate between ONE UP and Dragonslayer, Mockingmaya, Jack, and Tagaguhit is nothing more than differences of opinions that had gone personal and ended up to name calling. When one goes personal, the real issues are lost and thrown overboard.Those who go personal could be compared to Andal Ampatuan of Maguindanao who goes to the extreme to make a point that only his way matters and nothing less. I SUGGEST PROTAGONISTS STICK TO ISSUES. Are the latter quartet listening? Name: blumentritt CommentsTeodoro reminds us that the name is synonymous to Marcos, to Arroyo’s, Cojuanco’s. Enough of those slick old trapos names. Nickname Gibo often used instead to mask the past or the connections. Remember Gibo, Imelda, Gloria- same tribe! Name: Diego Talahib CommentsGibo Teodoro seemed to be getting good publicity. He had not badmouth the other candidates so far. And that is good that he is seem to be trying to show his merits. However, there are big issues that he failed to address? What will he do about the misgovernment of GMA? Will he pursue the big corruption cases allegedly connected to GMA so that we can get the closures of this cases? Why does he seemed to avoid the GMA issues? And having been the Secretary of National Defense, whagt actions had he done to adress the issues of private armies, the Ampatuan cheating in Maguindanao, and about the missing and assassinated activist during his tenure there? Unless he is able to explain these issues, then he is only a pretender not worth voting for. Name: ONE UP Comments|DRAGONSLAYER| I have my doubts that people will ever believe your redefinition of OFW's repatriation of foreign earnings is a FOREIGN AID It is difficult to convince others that your definition is credible, believable acceptable, reliable and valid. If I were to follow your logic, Haitian citizens sending money to their relatives, who have become earthquake victims, fall in the same category as the economic AID provided by FOREIGN governments. It does not make sense to me. Perhaps Mockingmaya, Tagaguhit and Jack of London will agree with you.Is this how Louisiana Universities define FOREIGN AID and FOREIGN EARNINGS OF ITS CITIZENS? Name: alcapote CommentsBased on lots of presidential fora it seems that the most qualified to be our president is brother Eddie Villanueva. GOD's will is with him - look the way he answered / replied on issues thrown in him. ALL other candidates just keep on promising like the old folks that brought our country to the bottom of make believe..... GO brother EDDIE and multiply like the sands on the beach where its strength came from HIM......... Name: Gene CommentsBetter give up & don't ever go back to the Phil. You are not wanted. In the first place, you don't know what you are talking about. You better update yourself with current events & be rational enough interpreting things. Erap's impeachment failed & for the elites under Pimentel, Jester Arroyo, Guingona, the late C. Aquino, etc., all joined the mobs on the street. Judas of the AFP, Un-angelic Reyes in his key role completed the ouster of Erap. So when you talk about something, make sure it is the truth. Call Erap a lasenggero, babaero, etc., still you can't win bec. you are a liar. Name: Gene CommentsAng talino ng tao ay hindi nagpapatunay na siya ay maka-tao. Ang taong may pinag-aralan ay hindi maka-tao kung siya ay walang budhi. Ang paglilingkod sa bayan ng isang mabuting maka-tao ay makikita mula sa kanyang pinag-simulan paglilingkod hindi sa kanyang katalinuhan. Ang taong may pagmamahal sa kanyang bayan at may pagmamalasakit sa kapakanan ng bawat mamamayan ay makikita sa kanyang mga gawa at hindi sa salita. BTW, Noynoy Aquino has done nothing to his constituents while Rep. of Tarlac much so as a senator of the country. The only thing I heard of Noynoy is that he co-authored the Reproductive Bill. WHERE IS THE PORK BARREL, NOYNOY? What have you done w/ it? Name: Gene CommentsWho made the MetroStar Rail Transit affordable to the ordinary commuter? Built under El Tabaco, influential elites imposed a fare unreachable by the public that revenues dwindled & riders no where to be seen. It was Erap who lowered the fare accdg. to one writer of Tribune. BTW, a couple who recently arrived in Canada are planning to go back just to vote for Erap. Quite an expense to travel just to vote. Public service is not measured by intelligence but deeds. It is driven by fervor & enthusiasm to help & to care. NOYNOY AQUINO WOULDN'T HAVE A DEED BUT A WIT TO FRUSTRATE FILIPINOS. Name: ONE UP CommentsWhen passion exceeds reason over election outcomes and the threat of being challenged and the fear of losing becomes evident, the threatened candidate will result to violence. Elections will be stolen. This has always been the pattern in presidential elections and even municipal contests. The dead rises from their graves to vote, multiple voting registration occurs, ballot boxes get stuffed or stolen, results are tampered, and goons intimidate voters. No other candidate is more threatened than the incumbent. Most western observers are amazed with Philippine elections. Election results are already known even before the voting precincts open.In the USA it takes hours. HELLO GARCI! Name: WDC CommentsThe Filipino people should ask the Comelec to reverse its decision that an ex-convict can run for political office. We have Joseph Estrada who is convicted plunderer and we have my kapwa Ilocano Bingbong Crisologo a convicted arsonist who is currently congressman in Rizal Province. Unless to be a Comelec member you need to graduate in IMU (Idiot and Moron University), then it is hard to find people like them. Name: Gerry Malolos CommentsNobody from the candidates for president can understand the flight of the poor except Villar because he experienced it. Others are sons of politicians and rich. Name: Michael B. Cuanzon CommentsWe seem to be getting direct comments and recommendations from our Filipino OFW's or probably American "sixteen cents" some of whom may not even vote. While most of our kababayans who are here and on the voting stage seems to fail to register. Does this mean that we who are at home loves the country less? Mukha nga! Name: Maginoo CommentsSa nangyayari ngayon bangayan sa senado iisang tao lang ang nagge gain si Gibo tahimik na nagtra trabaho at kinukunsulta ang kabataang botante. Outstanding pagdating sa presidential forums. When Ampatuan massacre happened nasan ang mga presidentiables... tahimik sila, si Gibo action kaagad pumunta kaagad sa Mindanao to look the situation. G-Gets the I- Intelligent B- Brave O- Outstanding President! be wise! Fearless forecast by Astrologer, the next President of the Philippines not came from a Senate. It is not Bro. Villanueva because the state and the church are separate identity. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsI wondered why a man of 50 never married. Curiosity killed the cat, so I prowled the net, and found this, "Why Alexander the Great never married." Why indeed? The answer given, "...because Alexander the Great was a Eunuch." What exactly is a eunuch? I looked it up. "Eunuch: 1. A castrated man..., 2. A man with some body parts nonfunctioning..., 3. An ineffectual, powerless, or unmasculine man." I thought, "Abe Lincoln was wrong. All men are not created equal." Name: Tagaguhit CommentsDon "One Up" de la Mancia from the kingdom of uncertainty had been slain by the "Dragonslayer," then I will make an sculpted tombstone for him with the letters coming from the alphabet guy.It's only a joke anyway you are the joker from Gotham City. Name: Dragonslayer CommentsJuan Sa Kaitaas-taasan: Ur "That is a "C" to his credit". It was a honest academic "C", not inflated to please others but simply supplemented by continuing education while on the job and that's the very reason why reason why I'm a highly successful employee and also was able to establish a very profitable family business. But, for once, that's very smart of you, really; your ability to translate a number into an alphabet is amazing. You may perform the same calculation on the following GPA on YOUR current personal performance in this forum: TRUTH IN ADVERTISING SELF (4.0), FALSIFIED PERSONAL FINE LINES (3.5), JACK RABBIT STARTS (3.5), DEFENSE (INC.), OFFENSE (INC.), SPORTSMANSHIP (5.0), HUMOR (N/A). Name: Dragonslayer CommentsJuan Sa Kaitaas-taasan: Nothing is permanent except the Deity, i.e., if you believe; everything considered, it's all a pigment of the mind's brush strokes. Ask TagaGuhit. There is no limit to what the imagination can offer. No shortages of funny ideas and day-dreams, either. Perception of the same stuff varies from one person with another's. And we know when the truth has been corrupted. In your case it is often perfectly dissected in equal halves or stretched beyond the tensile strength of belief or persuasion. You used to be a Ateneo 5.0 academic achiever; now you want to be a high school dropout. Next time I visit, would you rather be a fish? If you think that the Great Compromise is about the Clinton marriage, think again. Name: R I P, against nationwide, local election CommentsYou don't notice to yourselves that all of you who like this nonsense institution "ELECTION" you're like a bunch of idiots, why?..look & think deeply, you see, the other one like Erap for President, the others also their pick Teodoro, Gordon, Villar or Noynoy, you see? All of you said, these qualified presidential candidates as your pick are has credentials and tract records & their aims is to serve the country, so how stupid you people there as well these five presidential candidates why you let disunited, MAKE ONE TEAM TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY, TO THE UTMOST OF ALL YOUR KNOW-HOW, why should U let the government spent millions of dollars in that stupid election, just to pick one of you?..why not make one team? Instead that money can be use in repairing damages from yearly typhoon. Name: ONE UP CommentsMost politicians are re-cycled from municipal to national positions.Some are antiques like Pimentel, Enrile, etc. Expensive paper end up becoming toilet paper or cardboard.When Philippine politicians are fed into an incinerator, the fumes they generate are even toxic to the environment.The only solution to get fresh faces are : (1) public election funding (2) term limits (3) dismantling political dynasties (4) free access to TV and radio of candidates (5) cap on private election spending (6) audited statement of assets and liabilities of candidates as requirement for filing of certificate of candidacy (7) reduce number of nuisance candidates by requiring one million petition on a national scale to establish candidate's viability. Name: R I P, against nationwide, local elections CommentsAs long there's a topic about this stupid institution of Nationwide & Local electioneering, I will continue to insist my view against, that this kind of institution is very obsolete system, we are in space age now, we need a reality not by idiotic way;-that the MORON & the KNOWLEDGEABLE person will joined together in judging to what you called election. Picking the right person to lead the country is a very serious decision. It needs to abolish this institution of election & replace which it is or that is more sensible & not expensive & must be a simple system how to pick the right person to lead the country, not by a an idiot or fanatic party group or indorse by a business interest. Name: Thomas CommentsSen Villar persistently claims he is from the poor, that he is with the poor, and he understanding the poverty such as spending Christmas on the street, etc.....Well, now that he is very very rich, how much money has he given to his so called "poor" cohort in the last few years? Unfortunately, the poor in the Pinas are continue living in their fantasy of a "Robin Hood" who could rob the rich and the government, and share the wealth with them. In reality, they should wakeup because there is no such "Robin Hood" in the Philippines. In that beautiful country, everybody is for himself - money, power, girls, etc.....Grasping, grabing, stealing under the cloak of serving our people. LOL. Name: Dragonslayer CommentsI have a nagging problem about naming someone from among these characters as the better or the best choice. I am talking to overseas Filipinos---those who hardly have a chance to visit but work and live abroad at some protracted time. Being out of touch and, therefore, unaware and inadequately informed of domestic issues disqualify us from being legitimate participants on these matters. I'll say leave the clamor and the ensuing 'storming of the Bastille' to the natives who have the right and are better qualified to make the recommendation based "local" feel and act on that critical decision to cast the die at the polls.

Name: Dragonslayer CommentsRey Yellowknife, you were not kidding when you compared THAT MOVEMENT's plan of action to that of Lord Tennyson's portrayal of gallantry and heroism in verse. The "Charge of the Light Brigade" was composed way after the encounter, not during or before. As I understood, the brigade's only objective was to win at all costs. No if's or buts; no excuses. To win, for them, was everything. Is that movement committed likewise to 'volleyed and thundered'? Name: Gene CommentsAng mga mahihirap ay hindi magkamali na ihalal uli si Erap sapagkat sa kanilang kalooban ang paratang kay Erap ay palsipikado.

Ejercito sa pagka-senador at si Jinggoy na kasalukuyang senador.

I'm basing my suspicion mostly on articles here. The search 4 ur ideal "person" must start right now, right away. Like I said b4, in PI politics it's difficult to bet on integrity, or to just plain expect a serving official to leave a term unblemished. No past president can be credited for excellent or above par performance. At present, majority of the people are all clamoring for too much anomalies taking place. Don't offer a good excuse for any elected official to betray public trust again by saying that "our democracy is still evolving". Instead say, there oughtta be mandatory prison or electrocution for errant public officials from the president on down.

I remember one Phil. Pres. advocated austerity program, the late Carlos P. Garcia. From what I see in Mr. David Gergen's face, he's quite concerned bec. China is beginning to become a super power & will start to flex its muscles soon. Revisiting the moon has been scratched & we all know that China is aiming for the moon in 5-10 yrs. The late Chou En Lai, Deng Shiao Ping were clever to make ties w/ Uncle Sam to promote its economic well-being bec. they possibly realized that Communism will not thrive in isolation just like the splintered U.S.S.R.

Am I guessing here? If I am, then something is wrong. Yes, something is very wrong here .... do you need to guess what? No, because everything is right about everything being wrong .... Name: JGF CommentsAnother news article said, 'Manny Villar Fears Insults from Peers, says Ocampo' .... but Manny Villar did not fear getting insulted when he became a billionaire out of the C-5 Project who by the way has team up with the world renowned Mr. Wowowee, Bongbong Marcos, Col. Quirubin, et al .... I am also insulted by Manny Villar talking about his record from rugs to riches story .... yes we can & guess what he said in one of those debates so far .... THIS NATION WILL BE GREAT AGAIN .... as if I do not know who coined that phrase .... yes, your guess is as good as mine .... ASK BONGBONG, he might know or SENATE PRESIDENT ENRILE or TABAKO .... Name: Gene CommentsSelf-proclaimed Jueteng King is waiting for the release of the tobacco-excise tax for Ilocos Sur. The release by GO LIAR is perfect timing for the May election. How about the unliquidated loan from the tobacco-excise tax Mr. Chavit Singson? And you accused Erap of siphoning the tobacco-excise tax into his account when in fact the fund is entrusted to you for the tobacco farmers. Who killed the Prov. Auditor of Ilocos Sur, Mr. Chan? Who murdered the wife of Gov. candidate Rafanan of Ilocos Sur? BTW, SC was not able to prove that Erap has stolen the money & he was cleared. Name: richard sy CommentsTeodoro is the best in all candidates, now is the time to forget popularity but for quality leadership. Gibo is the best next president. Name: Dragonslayer CommentsCandidates, voters, corruption, misgovernment. These four factors, in the Philippine political arena, make life miserable and almost unbearable for everyone. Domestic politics is seriously ill and acutely cancered to point where no president-elect alone can fix in the short run due to a lot of monkey-business reasons. Losers and voters, regardless of whom they voted must try to live by a democratic-style majority decision and not complain and cry foul for a recount. All is fair in love and war; those who doubt should never get involved from the start. Voters should know politics is just another betting game where, at the end of the day, winner takes all and sour losers show their true colors. That's who we are; we think we're a smart race but we have to re-think that. Name: Dragonslayer CommentsJRH: You are so right on the money when you said, "Almost everybody is FOR CHANGE". But the word CHANGE has two sides like a coin. All US or Chinese billionaires will agree that hundreds of millions in their respective currencies is considered only CHANGE. And our political personalities have their eyes fixed on the YEN and the $$$ instead, they're not referring to altering and improving the current political status quo for the better. Change, can we rely on promises base on such word with uncertain meaning? Name: Dragonslayer Comments"There is no hope for the country" is an excessive and general expression. It can mean, 'I-give-up', or 'everyone- is-so-backward-and-uninformed', or 'to-hell-with-you', or even, 'you're fired!'. It is a finalizing statement declaring acute despair, deep-seated frustration, and even desperation toward the ordinary. That statement is often used by Filipinos victimized or overlooked by the system and not able to find a way out or toward changing a hopeless predicament. Others are almost right in saying that hope is lost in their quest to find decent jobs, improve livelihood, or achieve peace and normalcy to sustain basic everyday existence. That's what they mean. Name: Dragonslayer Comments"United We Stand, Divided We Fall". That can be true depending on intended meaning. If it means, let's be of one mind and action to finish building this house, it's alright. Reason is, "Divided we stand United We Fall" (T Jefferson) is also a good motto, i.e., if it means the separation of governmental powers with corresponding checks and balances (not your pocketbook, Mister). US founding fathers preferred a stand on using 'ambition to counteract ambition', believed a 'divided legislature for a healthy and balanced ideologue' is a fair legislative body, and that 'divided and balanced' is the fairest of debates and encounters for the common good. Name: Dragonslayer CommentsJuan Sa Kaitaas-taasan: UR "you probably mean baseless". No, "clueless" is what I mean, to be exact. The words applies to you singular path of old school train of thought. Not all "clueless" arguments are "baseless" or vice-versa, although they can be possibly both in your frame of mind. Twit for a quick reference, friend. Name: Gene CommentsSen. (MONEY) Villar finally delivered his privilege speech relative to the C-5 insertion project alleged to have benefitted his co. & himself. Right after his speech, he left the Senate w/o being asked & interpellated. WHAT GOOD IS IT TO DELIVER A SPEECH IF SEN. VILLAR COULD NOT TAKE QUESTIONS & REFUSED TO BE INTERPELLATED? The status quo remains & his credibility was not established since he refused to be interpellated. IT IS NOT AN HONORABLE ACT WHEN SEN. VILLAR DENIED HIMSELF OF THE TRUTH FILIPINOS WANTED TO HEAR BY FACING HIS CRITICS THROUGH QUESTIONS & ANSWERS. Name: blumentritt CommentsAn evil and more corrupt president to replace GMA. Who do you think it is? Noy? nah!…brother Eddie? naaah!...Nick? nah nah…JC? naah..erap? not sure.. Jamby? Nope…Dick? Nope nope NO! My guess is good as yours. Name: blumentritt CommentsHe came to the floor of the senate finally deliver his message and left. Want you to hear his side and don’t want to hear others period. Arrogance, that’s what you call it. Is this the president you want? That diverted hi-way will always haunt you. Your face wherever you appear will blink, blink, blink like a hazard lite flash with C5. Name: DITAS MARIANO CommentsI would like to see Noynoy Aquino as the next President. Sure he did have a short stint at the Senate but look at Cory, she's a plain housewife. What we need to lead at this point is someone with DEDICATION, SELFLESS and a priority that follows, God, Countrymen self. we need a clean sweep Name: Dragonslayer CommentsPNL: This topic or similar ones are constant reminders of our people's failure to realize they are the primary cause of elected politicians gone bad and the promises made to tackle nagging issues forgotten and altogether gone sour. Our people have a regrettably shallow understanding of their votes future implications both on the local and national level. The act of casting a ballot should be a serious and conscientious undertaking. If it is done under duress, so will the whole nation be. Selling it to the highest bidder is pawning the nation's future. Indifference in participating in deciding for change is worst than being dead. Name: Dragonslayer CommentsJUAN SO KAITAAS-TAASAN insultingly piped in, "That is a "C" to his (D'slayer's) credit". JUAN UP, whenever you speak up, it seems I'm the only one listening. Here I go again: My "C" was well-earned, honestly revealed, no more, no less. I don't take credits for some sweet claims not mine and I don't deserve, like some self-confessed "scholar" I know. I'm not ashamed for my "C" because it's not an artificial decoration or a pretentious, temporary symbol if only to fetch false admiration from other fools who will be easily taken for shiny ornaments like yours, fools' gold. Name: RAUL CommentsGOOD AFTERNOON TO EVERYONE, Well before anything happen, I mean to stay analyst which of them do not steal or corrupt the money of the Filipino people. Because 6 months from now after they elected as President, most of the friends or body start to steal money not knowing that they don't know anything, just pretending, but they're the head of corruption. Kawawa naman iyon mga kapitid nating na walang wala. Be smart, by not selling your vote no matter how much they give you. Forget the money, because you might regret later on. Aba mag-nanakaw pala iyon president iyon ibinuto ko. Akala ko hindi magnanakaw. Promises, promises then later on promise is broken. Wake-up voter. Don't only think about bride money to vote. And lastly don't vote for official that has been there for so long. Name: Boy Vegas CommentsWhy most of are our leaders corrupt? Spiritually speaking, I believe the unseen forces of evil, the high ranking demons are up there in the Philippine government. Even if a person is not corrupt, as soon as he/she sits on that throne of government power, the devil will influence his/her every move and eventually convert them. Only the power of the living God residing in that leader's heart could resist the devil. Otherwise, no matter how good or honest is the one we elect to power, they'll end up the same way as the others--corrupt! Name: Lauro Guevara CommentsAmong the five presidentiables, only Gibo, a technocrat, is not an old traditional politician. He was appointed by the President as Defense Minister, one of the most critical dept in charge of peace and order. although there are negative publicity and rumors against the President, I still consider her as having performed well compared to her predecessors. She endorsed Gibo to continue her platform of governance and the Filipino people should be political mature enough to accept the endorsement. Lastly I would rather go for a man with less mistakes and misgivings, in choosing the highest office in the land. Name: JRH CommentsAfter the departure of the most corrupt, let's just hope that the next president gradually eliminate our bribe culture. Let's start with our BIR revenue & Customs' collections, secret or sealed bids for super infrastructures, & mandatory commissions. There's no such thing as ethical behavior in the Phils when it comes to grease money. It's the standard. So, how can our people expect a clean & efficient govt if the leaders are corrupt & play favorites in the first place? Corruption as a way of life is not the way. If that is the problem, then, our leaders must find the solution or solutions & let's get rid of all selfish & self-serving politicians. Name: JRH CommentsI just noticed that a lot of our PNL posters are double-clicking when they submit their posts. I use the control button key (lower left on your key board) when I click to submit.

Name: JRH CommentsIf you want the latest survey on all the presidentiables Google philippineselections.com. It's a new website that serves both candidates & voters in this coming election & if you're on Facebook, there's an online voting done by pge2010.blogspot.com & philippinepolls.com. It looks like Gibo is on the lead followed by Noynoy Aquino III, 3rd Gordon, 4th Bro. Eddie Villanueva. Unfortunately Sen. Villar (C5) only got 8% & the actor, Pres. Joseph Erap Estrada with just 3%. Name: Sam CommentsOne Up to the draftsman: "Do you make 4 million pesos a year? That is the equivalent of what an SSI recipient in NYC gets." At P46 to the dollar, that comes up to $86,956/year, even when you include the free cheese and powdered milk. You'll have to give dance lessons and do your friends taxes to come close to that number. By the way, before the mockingguy notices, it's "i before e except ..." Name: MARNY VILLANUEVA CommentsFYI Update: Good news for senior citizen posters. Recent research conducted here in the U.S., for healthy heart & alert mind, try playing video games(X-BOX). It has been observed that fast movement of characters in the video games attributed the to fast & sharp mind when seniors are at play. Our mind is being nourished (stress free). Nagiging isip bata, he he he ! Sensitivity has nothing to do w/ this, because, as we have a Filipino saying," we don't get old, only carabaos get old, we mature," yeah, right ! Tell that to some posters here ! Try playing w/ your grandsons/granddaughters & you'll learn a lot fr them (kick butt) ! Reminder, have you taken your medication yet?

Instead that money can be use in repairing damages from yearly typhoon. Name: Sam CommentsAlfredo: "our country is where it is at?" because, as 7gtg puts it, the corruption is "unsustainable". In then words Lozada, "moderate the greed". The Philippines is not so poor. A sustainable corruption means there'll be enough left for us. Name: Sam CommentsGFJBHEDF: Kaya pala galit si Jamby - di napadaan yung C-5 sa kanyang mga property.

Sintunado ka at "horny" ka pa rin. Huwag kanalang maki-alam masyado sa mga sinasabi ko kasi ang iyong mga sagot ay baluktok. Basa na ang iyong papel. Sorry for my language but I can't help it. But I'm not Benigno Aquino III who would not recognize GO LIAR's appointee nor am I Sen. (MONEY) Villar who walked out w/o being interpellated by his fellow senators regarding his insertion. (no malice) Name: Tagaguhit CommentsSo, the big mouth from Gotham City (One Up) admits that he relies his living depending on social welfare fund, what a pity! To tell you the truth half of my siblings work in Canada as professionals and I had one sister who works as a doctor in Las Vegas, Nevada. I had a lot of opportunity to work in either country, but patriotism still runs in my blood plus and I want to live the way I want. I travel a lot to big exhibition sites in the word like Frankfurt Fair in Germany, Highpoint in New York, Milan Fair in Italy and many others, and I've work with a lot of foreign designers around the world and I've earned their respect. Now, tell me who had a better life. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsHe knew the odds against him. Specially the detrimental Hacienda Luisita issue & massacre, & his his austere nonperforming congressional record. Then mama Cory died, & thousands of teary emotional Pinoys were blown out of proportion by the media, when ABS-CBN Kris Yap Aquino, Noynoy's sister, on the tube, nationwide, implored her brother, "It's now up to you and me Noy...(to carry on the legacy)." The throng on TV scope cried "Noy for president!" It caught on like wild fire, & the early polls showed Noy's lead better than 50% over Villar. Now the fire is almost out, & they are statistically tied in the polls. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsMinus half a point (.5%), is all in favor of her in the most recent SWS national poll survey. Presidentiable senator "Jamby" Madrigal, who falsely accused senator Villar of double insertion & making tons of money on the C-5 road extension, plus their air sand castle of Mt. of committee of the whole charges, blew up in their faces instead, & will so show in the next poll as Villar take over the lead from Noynoy. Name: amir CommentsGo go go go Erap para sa mahirap....para sa kaunlaran sa ating bansa ERAP na tau. Name: JRH CommentsGolfFGBuddy. not very many Pinoy golfers know that Luisita Golf course was designed by Robert Trent Jones. We play there every time I vacation in the Phils (3 months). It's interesting to note that on your way to the course, you'll also see 3,000 A-frames for Danding's famous fighting cocks. If your friend in the pictures is Mac Fajardo then we have a link. We started a golf association here in Montreal way back in 1976. Okay, keep it long & in the middle. Old golfers never die, they just lose their balls..in the fairway. Name: JRH CommentsSam, great stuff but I only got the audio-portion of this new iPad thing. You're certainly right, Pinoys will have a hard time pronouncing it. Same as when Pinays ask a white guest in their parties...are you penis? Name: ONE UP Comments|7gtg| With due respect, the word RULE is synonymous to govern, to command or to control. As in, "Marcos ruled by decrees".I believe you were thinking of ruling in the light of the ABSOLUTE power held by kings and dictators over their subjects and constituents. Name: ONE UP Comments|tagaguhit| You don't know me and I don't know you much except for the revelation (and bragging rights) that your work is admired by buyers (any award from critics?) and that you earn US dollars too. So let us leave it at that instead of accusing me of being an SSI recipient in the USA in his twilight years. THERE ARE SO MANY FISH IN THE OCEAN. I HOPE YOU CATCH A GOOD ONE. Best of luck on your fishing expedition. Name: JRH CommentsAs a result of Sen. Villar's paseo palabas, a number of opposing senators took the podium immediately. It looked like more of the same grandstanding from our gallant senators. Perfect timing though for Manny V cuz the senate will be vacationing soon, e.g., no session, no questions or no music, no dancing & even if they wanted to vote there was no quorum formed. The senators allied to Sen. Villar also walked out. The list included senators: Angara, Arroyo, Cayetano x2, Lapid, Miriam, Revilla, Legarda, Pimentel (inserted), & the now-fugitive Sen. Panfilo Lacson. Question.. why didn't they file a case against him? Answer: nobody knows. More - Click here to view previous entries
