Sorry PNL if your editorial thinks that I'm out of topic or nuisance to the the context of the issues in this forum, as it seems all of you love this democratic process election & suffrage, "NOT ME" coz back to those who won the election for presidents, senators, congressman & mayors for the past 17 times "more or less" of Nation-wide & Local elections, no one of them lifted up the livelihood of the underprivileged. SO WHAT'S THE USE of this too expensive institution of "election" that at the time of their tenure in office whom you elect are just as corrupt the as the previous ones?!!!...so I insist the entire system is a joke! The bito-bito or just like the palabunutan, simple & inexpensive coz at the end of that democratic process corruption still exists.

I don't believe Filipinos are asking for a "quick fix" when they ask for better governance to put us in-step with the rest of our neighbors. I think we're only asking for what is reasonable. If we can say that we're in a race since after WW II, to rise up from the ravages of war, then we failed so miserably. We are trailing just about everybody else. And it's not fair...

Dragoon, we shall overcome & hopefully bounce back in 2010 if we select the right leader. Most Filipinos agree that we should, once & for all, restore sanity to our present chaotic system. Too many politicians feel that they have a right to be wrong & ultimately seek profit from their elected positions. Time & again, it's always a question of accountability & honesty. It's the missing link. From top to bottom of our gov't, most of them are obsessed in accumulating instant wealth. In the 9 years that Pres. Arroyo stayed in office she clearly overspent the money of our people (excessive trips, lavish dinners, bribes, etc.). Enough is enough. Now is the time to clean house & get rid of all these parasites. It's our main responsibility to make that important decision in this coming election.

One Up: Take note the standard of living before you make calculations. It doesn't make sense, how come I watched a documentary in GMA7 about an old Filipino who happened to sleep in train couches everyday, where is the 4 million pesos he received a year. The old man is just selling some of his watercolor paintings in the sidewalk, luckily he sold a single art piece enough to buy a pair of winter gloves. There were a lot of sad stories about Filipinos living in the US. Even if I am in the Phil., I still earn US$ for my retainer's fee for my designs,they send it thru Western Union and I put it in my dollar account in PNB. If you happen to visit Bataan be aware that you might be stepping on my property, I don't earned that much but I've owned tens of millions worth of real state.

Warning: new technology is user-friendly & it will be costly for NPC to monitor all the would-be signal jammers in this coming election. It only shows that the Smartmatic Automated machines are not fail-safe. 5,000 illegal & sophisticated jamming devices were imported from abroad. They are also readily available in the Raon & Santa Cruz area stores starting from P5,000 to P15,000 a piece. The first scan was located right away & of all places came from the Bilibid Prison. Is this another headache that NPC must think about? It looks like some people are hell-bent in disrupting the next election. What if we just go manual?

Sen. (MONEY) Villar cleared himself of the allegations but refused to be interpellated by his fellow senators. He shd. have allowed himself to be questioned & prove to the country that he did nothing wrong w/ his C-5 insertion project. He shd. have refuted the statement of Sen. JPE regarding his attempted bribery. He did not have the courage to stand up & defend his integrity & decency against his "persecutors" as he was saying by not allowing himself to be interpellated. But I must say that as senator, (MONEY) Villar used his position & influence to benefit his company & himself. A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, PLAIN & SIMPLE.

So there you go! The GMA administration has managed to keep the country alive and to make sure the 2010 election will happen. It was a team effort by the administration (for not yielding to idiot opposition), by the people (for not believing those people power rallies), by the military - (for not listening to whiners), by the rebels (for not taking advantage of the weak military).. Overall it was the Filipino's desire to 'Not Rock the Boat too much'. No one wanted to get wet or to drown after all. My greatest sympathy to the whiners and doomsayers in this Forum.

Sen. Nene Pimentel if I'm not mistaken was a cabinet member under the late Pres. Corazon Aquino. He was appointed DILG chairman. And if I remember right, he was responsible for Erap's resignation as Mayor of San Juan. He was amongst the defiant critics of FM Sr. & a freedom fighter. Today, he did not appear in the Senate to render his vote whether his buddy, (MONEY) Villar is guilty of unethical conduct. I'm sure that Sen. Pimentel knows what conflict of interest is.

While the present system of voting exist, the Filipino will remain slaves of the politicians. Almost all the intelligent Filipinos have gone to work in other countries and the remaining are mostly uneducated and victims of political trickery. They will sell their votes during every election to whoever pays more. We have a corrupt government run by money hungry persons, people who don't even believe in God because of their Greed. Sooner or later many of them will have to answer to God, there will be gnashing of teeth and moans of the suffering on that day in Hell.

The vultures & railbirds surrounding Nonoy are scrambling to undo the negative impact of the senator's hoopla TV ads & infomercials, portraying the senator as "The Man of La Mancha" Innovative they may be, I can't imagine what they can flesh-up Noynoy with, that will fool the public, because the truth there is to know about the nonperforming senator is bared already, down to the needy-greedy. The public is already wise to him & his architects, but bemusely awaits what other fooleries they will come up with. Maybe more Noynoy funnies will do the trick.

Of all the candidates, perhaps the most articulate is Teodoro but speech alone will not be the magic carpet that will take him to Malacanang. His education in the US and performances in public debates are not relevant at all to most voters. His role in arming the Ampatuans (as Defense chief) and association with GMA (as a cabinet member) are things that will weigh down on him. Right now he is polling at 4-5% which is even less than half of what Erap is getting. If elections were held today, Gibo is finished!

Gordon, Fernando, and even Binay have very little exposure to national politics. As CEO of Olongapo, PNRC chief or tourism boss, Gordon threw his hat into the ring without much political capital to spend and win. Ditto for Binay and Fernando, whose experiences are local (MM and Makati respectively). The three may may look at themselves as PUMA brand of sneakers competing against the well established NIKE brand. All the other relatively unknown candidates are only sandals (wood or rubber)

ONE UP seems to be a good writer. Too bad however that he is an ardent propagandist of GMA. He would have been giving good real contribution to RP, at least through his journalistic ability. By being a GMA follower, he had closed his eyes to the reality that is happening. GMA not wanting to prolong her stay in Malacanang? Come on.... Almost everybody know that GMA wants to be head of RP forever. She will never admit it but her actions speaks louder that her mouth. If she had been doing real good service to RP, it would have been acceptable. But her works are usually self-serving only, i.e. to promote herself and her interest only.

With a lot of active campaigning via infomercials & political ads (even Facebook) this new survey on Pulse Asia indicates that Sen. Villar is neck to neck with Sen. Aquino. It looks like that the Cory Magic is cooling off. So, Noynoy must come up with something new or progressive. This contest is between a self-made billionaire versus a rich family clan manok of the Liberal Party. It's obvious that Noynoy can't hold mommy's skirt forever. He has to be his own man so to speak nor rely on Kris & his other sisters. He can't forever procrastinate. He must initiate something.

T2 JESS: I respectfully counter that your conclusion of me being "boxed in" (by whom?) with regard to my personal take on remittances as forms of "Foreign Aid" in-kind, is just another personal opinion due to the lack of consideration in applying the term in a wider array of practical thinking.

They can spend as long as they want but spend accdg. to their means & accdg. to what they receive from their salaries & pork barrels. As long as they are transparent, it is alright to spend. Have you known that Sen. Jinggoy Ejercito & Erap paid the fares of more than 10 OFWs back to the Phil. bec. they do not have the means & were persecuted by their employers. (there is a problem with the question mark) Did you know that during Erap`s (I can`t figure out why the computer makes the apostrophe more than 1 space) time, the former First Lady & ex-Sen.-Doctor Luisa P. Ejercito put out dialysis equipments at Malacanang Clinic for the poor & later transferred by GO LIAR inside Malacanang so elites could be benefited. No doubt, voters elected them senators.

With regards to the LASENGGERO issue raised by one OFW, I would like him to define lasenggero. Believe it or not, I bought one Chivas Regal way back in the late 70`s for Erap but I was told by the former First Lady that Erap was advised not to consume alcohol (liquor) by his family M.D. bec. of early cirrhosis. I am reminded of a street sweeper of NDC who was drunk every day while on his job & later deceased. Do I believe this OFW propagating lies. I don`t know if this person never had the chance of drinking liquor. ANG INUMIN NG TUNAY NA LALAKI AY GINEBRA SAN MIGUEL. (ads that I`ve seen years & years ago) This guy must be a saint. Who would pay attention to this OFW when in fact the late Cardinal Sin was not obeyed by the voters when he said, ÀNYONE BUT ERAP`. (wala yong quotation marks)

I commend the ALPHA MAN for his extraordinary labor on the family histories re some of these presidential aspirants. Credit is most aptly due HIM for clearing some of the misunderstanding of myths vs. facts surrounding these now-benign personalities. ALPHA MAN knows exactly what is FOREIGN to most of us when it comes to choosing wisely and he presented the needed prosaic AID for the unawares. For the tired and weary, however, it really matters not who will deliver the most guiling ability (fake smile, ill-gotten money, false promises etc.) to fool the naive-voting Filipino. But, get this: At the end of the day, if and when the smog eventually clears, there will be only ONE WINNER and 80 MILLION LOSERS, again. OUCH!

When Erap said that he was told by ex-Sec. of Justice Hernando Perez to leave the country so he could be spared, did he lie? I remember what he said that he was born in the Phil. & will die in the Phil. bec. in his conviction, he did not commit plunder. Jueteng was not legalized bec. wicked trapos would not pass the bill & enact into law. Why? Bec. wicked trapos want a share of the dough. Who "inserted" jueteng monies into the Erap Muslim Youth Foundation w/o Erap's knowledge? Accdg. to Atty. Serapio who together w/ Jinggoy were freed by Gloria's SC Justices, it was CHAVIT SINGSON at the time of Erap's failed impeachment. Singson was in trouble w/ the tobacco excise-tax & was denied of the 2 Bingo franchise in Ilocos Sur. Who is telling the truth Erap or YOU.

ALIBI, NAGPAPALUSOT SI SENADORA MIRIAM DEFENSOR-SANTIAGO. The reason why the explosive & unpredictable Sen. Defensor-Santiago did not attend the last session day where (MONEY) VILLAR'S UNETHICAL CONDUCT & his fate is at stake was bec. of 2 controversial bills. She is opposed to the 2 bills but it is understandable to Filipinos that it would not be the controversial bills but (MONEY) her being in his senatorial ticket. Do you mean to say Sen. Santiago that Republicans would not appear in U.S. Congress bec. they contravene or against bills passed by Democrats? Why not filibuster & yak the whole 24 hours in the Halls of Congress since you claim to be a bright, knowledgeable Constitutional Lawyer.

Somebody might say, I'm silent about Noynoy Aquino .... Here is what I can say about this presidential candidate .... NONE .... He said he is his own man, adding his record will speak for itself .... which is .... NOTHING .... but if he will say he is the son of Ninoy Aquino & Cory Cojuangco, then I can say he has a record to speak about .... SUGAR PRICES are going up uncontested & he said their Hacienda Luisita have gone public in PAPER .... but prices of sugar will surely bring profits to the share holders the public? They must be kidding .... For the record that is his record .... A matter of choice, Noynoy's rating is going down & Villar's is going up .... ONE GUY SAID, CHOICE OF LESSER EVIL ....

I don't understand the Filipino people not doing anything when half of the Senators are missing for Manny Villar’s C-5 inquiry. Not any one voice from the population complaining. These SOBs work for you guys, tell these morons if they don't perform well on their job, you recall them. You need somebody in the senate that dedicate themselves to the Filipino people not just one individual. Wake-up folks, do something.

Gent Gago, I hope not. Your favoring of candidates who are experienced or in your statement, "been there and done that" must be supplemented with concrete terms to be taken as wise advice for it can be taken both ways. I'll take the most oft traveled description of politicians just to be sure I'm not dodging the issues. "Been" where, "done" what? ERAP has "been there" even only once but too many already and, if Gene's endless and emotional hell-bent accusations of GMA as a LIAR is true, she has "done that" more than we can take anymore. On the positive side....who, what .... well.....just thinking aloud here. No love lost between us, friend.

Noynoy Aquino is banking on his mother’s death as many people have sympathy on him. Noynoy Aquino is incompetent to be a leader for a country like Philippines. Noynoy Aquino has done nothing since he became senator. Noynoy Aquino will be the follower of his own sister, Kris Aquino. He will assign Kris Aquino Yap as Secretary of Foreign Affair? Hahahha!! Think about it fellas if Noynoy wins… GO!! GIBO.... the best person for the Philippines…

Villar : sinipa ang sarili sa senado, ayaw um-attend ng hearing kasi ayaw ibalik 6.2 Billion pesos sa Pinas. Gibo : sinipa na ni GMA (secret lang) para kay Villar, sya na lang ang walang alam. Reasonable doubt daw, e ! Aquino: sisipain mga BIR, Custom, undesirables, tax evaders, cheats, etc., & no new tax increase......

|A senate call to investigate the C-5 scandal when the 14th Congress is winding down is a waste of time and money. Investigate Villar on the 15th Congress. If Villar becomes President, write the articles of impeachment. We have in Congress a bunch of senile, demented, and dirty old men in the senate. These senators do not only need Viagra but brain enhancement pills as well. LET ME SUGGEST THE NAME OF TAGAGUHIT AS A GUEST CANDIDATE FOR THE SENATE.

|SAM| The number I cited is an estimate of all other subsidies or aids that poor people get from the government which includes medical care, food stamps, housing etc. Maybe my number was a little bit inflated. As you very well know, these expenditures have to he borne entirely by a Filipino citizen. One catastrophic illness will wipe out completely the family fortune.

I am just a high school drop out but I am having difficulty understanding what Dragonslayer is saying in English with this: " I am talking to overseas Filipinos---those who hardly have a chance to visit but work and live abroad at some protracted time." If one is out of the country, he is not living in the Philippines or working in PI either but he is watching TFC for news at home or texting, instant messaging or tweeting, etc. Is this the net effect of being a consistent "C" student in a community college in Virginia, sailor boy? Lagging behind in technology to be informed? Still on 4 bit memory and one mega pixel eye?

|TAGAGUHIT| Yous should have known by now (after having raised children who migrated to other countries) that voters do not vote with their brains but with their hearts. Marcos won because he was perceived as "smart" (passed the bar while incarcerated) and "eloquent". Erap won because people inaccurately misread his identification with the poor. Magsasysay identified himself with the people with his slogan "Magsaysay is my guy" If you ask me what voters saw in FVR and GMA, I have no answer. MAYBE YOU DO WITH YOUR SOLOMONIC WISDOM.

Oh well, what else, we Pilipinos they say have a crab culture whoever is up and doing good job we got to pull them down that happens all the time Marcos pulled by Aquino, Aquino got pulled by Erap, and erap got pulled by Gloria. So the same system everything is to be corrupt for themselves, and poor Pilipino people still poor and people are the best exports to feed the Philippine government

"Tagged" in the killings of Dacer & Corbito. Erap has denied the allegation & he is willing to fight it in court. Accdg. to Sen. Mar Roxas, Erap never interferred in his job as Sen. of Trade & Commerce. Why would Erap be the "mastermind" in the murder of Dacer when in fact he is the Godfather of one of his children. Did you believe Singson accusing Erap to have siphoned the tobacco excise tax? Gloria's Justices acquitted Erap bec. they cannot find evidence that will link him to the fund. Is your opinion better than what Erap has pronounced to the country that he has nothing to do with Dacer's murder? INSINUATION, HAKA-HAKA, yang ang isang problema ng maraming Pilipino. Alam mo, sinagupa ko ang isang Pinoy dito sa Canada kasi masyadong madaldal at sinungaling. UMIYAK.
