Name: Tessa CommentsIf I can vote, I will vote Gibo because has a vision in our country Philippine. Arroyo is no longer President if Gibo wins. Be smart voters. Gibo is the only one can make the Philippines great again. Look at the Thailand # 1 in tourism, tayo magaling lang sa salita. Please voters huwag ninyong ipares si Gibo kay Gloria. Lets make our country popular in the world once more. Vote Gibo. Thank you. Name: Pidro CommentsA new Philippines, not exporting domestic helpers, we will overtake Singapore and Malaysia, we will regain our old place in the community of ASEAN countries where we are second to Japan. All of these if we only vote for Gordon and Bayani, wake up everybody, this the last chance do not slip it away. Name: LN Guevara CommentsWhen I participated in the survey picking Gibo frankly I have no idea of his exceptionally good credentials. I received an email attachment to see videos of Gibo in YouTube. I was really impressed by his qualifications and accomplishments. I can only hope and pray that he can lead the Phils to economic recovery. He is truly a humble man of action. His wife is just being truthful when she said mapakumbaba. Name: Manuel C. Diaz CommentsTo 1UP FVR and GMA were not voted by the Indios to office. FVR was elected by dagdag bawas operation in Sulo Hotel by DILG Secretary Mr. Tree. GMA was elected by the voting Machine of the Ampatuans of Maguindanao and the voting Machine of the Garcias' in Cebu.Senadora Maraim Defensor could have been the President if not for the Dagdag Bawas of Mr. Tree. FPJ could have been the president if not for the Ampatuans and the Garcia. Read hello "garci" and I am sorry. Islas de Ladrones rides again. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsIf you are looking for a trapo to eliminate from the 2010 presidentiable election, look at senator Gordon. The Gordons occupied Olongapo City mayoralty for the last thirty-two (32) years, and a Gordon is still the current mayor of Olongapo City. Name: GFJBHEDF Comments"Noynoy can do no wrong," was the ads & infomercials blanketing TV & the net. For a while it resonated, & Noynoys Dec poll bounced the Richter scale 50% +. Then the people took a 2nd look. Of course Noynoy can do no wrong! He did not do anything. He lived with his mom all his life till she died last year. He never got married. He never impregnated a girl because he can't? Because he is some kind of a eunuch? Why did his sister Kris Yap Aquino, (at mom's wake), emphasized that Josh, (her son), don't want his uncle Noy to ever marry? Did Josh really say that? Or, a tall tale to cover-up a male deficiency? Name: Who one? CommentsTo those people thinking about Manny Villar is guilty, I would like to say that it is easy for those to blame and accuse someone without even proving their guilt and how. On the floor, accusing someone of something is like trying to cast some doubt on someone without even trying to prove reasons for a person's guilt. For one, the accused is immediately stigmatized as a guilty person without even being proven guilty in a court of law. The accuser gets away with making accusations even though they may not have real evidence or proof of their suspicions. Accusing someone of a crime without evidence is like pointing a finger at anyone in the dark and saying they are guilty. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsIf you catch a falling object at the outset, you might be able to stop it. But a falling object continue to gather momentum on its descend. The longer it falls, the harder to stop. Two (2) SWS, and one(1) Pulse Asia = 3 recent surveys showed Noynoy on a free fall. What's there to stop it? Rest assured his controllers are buzzing around, trying to reinvent Noynoy's image. We shall soon see what they come up with in Noy's subsequent TV and other media ads. Abangan. Name: Dragonslayer CommentsTito Jess: I admit my ideas are controversial at times. Creative?, yes. Right or wrong I stand by them in the most manly way. When I brought up "Foreign Aid", which I'm surprised you and 'that one' failed to recognize the lighter side of such a simple phrase, my purpose was to change the usual serious ramble on PI politics that only creates doubt and suspicion. You said my NEW definition on Foreign Aid is an insult to Filipinos who went to school, well, that depends on which school you refer to. For those who want to be challenged with controversy, who have an open mind, they'll see it as an opportunity to expand an idea. All others do not apply.

Name: Dragonslayer CommentsTito Jess: "Are the latter quartet listening?" You know, T2 Jess, if there is something I'm very capable of, it is on Listening. This rejoinder is to prove that claim. But, mind you, why spoil the fun? Sticks and stones ... but does cheap discussion break any bone in the body? We Filipinos are "everywhere but nowhere" due to our acute personal sensitivity to many things which is to our own detriment and disadvantage. An open mind is very receptive though it must be capable of discriminating nonsense. DEO, our dear old pal, have always advised us to 'eat, drink, tease each other and be merry' until we get numbed of laughter so that we cannot giggle anymore. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsActor Steven Seagal made a special visit to Manny Pacquiao's Los Angeles, and talks about wanting to make a movie in the Philippines with Manny. Seagal praises Manny, and Manny does the same for Steven, who said he will be in Texas to watch Manny fight Clottey. Seagal also said that Manny will knock out Mayweather if ever the two will get to mix it up. > LINK Name: MARNY VILLANUEVA Comments2 PANDAS/ PHIL. POLITICS & FILIPINO MENTALITY: During election time, we all have our own candidates & get excited. Definitely, trying to convince anyone is futile & won't work. So, all we have to do is just sit back & relax. Since everything has been said & done, no matter what the outcome is (w/cheating/SOBRANG DAYA ), we just accept it reluctantly (very submissive). LOSERS complain being cheated (dagdag/bawas, vote-buying, intimidation, etc). WINNERS are already thinking of the next election... Name: MARNY VILLANUEVA CommentsConclusion / 2 Pandas : As for the Filipino people, we don't do our part to safeguard our votes. And if anomalies are discovered (like hello, Garci!), we don't care at all. Others say, "it's not our candidate, que se j*da" ! We love to talk & criticize, but not doing anything about it(modesty aside, I'm doing global charity/volunteer work & w/ reg. job, unlike some posters here, all, bla-bla bla !). This reminds me of Tai Shan & Mei Lan, Amer.-born Pandas going back to China. As long as there's bamboo or FOOD in the CAGE, they are contented being TOSSED AROUND... SAD but TRUE and PHILIPPINES is hurting ! Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsDear JRH, "Why didn't they file a case against him?" Villar? Because they: Senators Madrigal, Aquino, Gordon & Roxas (4VP), the unethical ethics committee, Villars presidentiable opponents are the instigators, fabricators, prosecutors, judges & jury of the anything goes senate of the "hole," whose only reason for being, is to way lay Villars presidential campaign, don't even have a peg leg to stand on in the court of law. Senator Villar wants very much for these crabs to file a C-5 road case against him in the DOJ or SC where he can rub their face in their feces, but they are chicken poops, because they are phony. Name: Tagaguhit CommentsTo all of you migrants out there, what OFW's earned is just plain and simple money that comes from our hardship (sorry, but I don't sweat a lot and I don't sell my blood). The other meaning is, OFW's aid to Philippine economy. The political meaning is, added source (money from OWWA and POEA) for the politician's pork barrel, so they have a lot of money to spend on their trips. My personal meaning is "pera ko ito, huwag nyo' pakialaman." Masyadong marami kayong meaning eh' hindi naman kayo OFW huh! Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsWhy didn't senator Villar, after delivering his rebuttal on the C-5 Rd extension, on the floor of the senate, not stick around to be pummeled, pulverized, bulldozed, & taken turns on by senators Madrigal, Aquino, Gordon, Roxas et al, the unethical ethics committee, Villars political opponents? Because senator Villar is nobody's fool. Name: Tagaguhit CommentsT2 Jess: Who do you think you are, so righteous. You tend to pacify the ongoing debates among us and yet you hit us with a low blow by comparing us to the Ampatuans. I think you deserve to be compared to Ferdinand Marcos, a dictator who declared Martial Law to impose law and order, but the true objective is to corrupt. If words can kill, then nobody can survive this forum. PUT ON YOUR EYEGLASSES, SO YOU CAN READ THIS!!!! Name: ONE UP Comments"The first thing I will do, if I become president, is to declare martial law," said this blogger Dragonslayer. I wonder if knows that with martial all rights in a democratic society are suspended; military courts will replace civilian courts; one could be imprisoned with out reading the "Miranda rights", etc. Marcos will live again! Thanks to this retired sailor from Virginia who is willing to receive the spirit of the departed! MABUHAY KA KAIBIGAN. Uwi ka na Pinas and run for president. See if you could win. Name: ONE UP CommentsThe cardinal rule I apply when I was a voter in thee Philippines is to vote for the least of the evil candidates (and a game of chance). But election then was more or less a two party system and making choices wasn't that hard. Today, with 10 candidates for president and 8 for vice president even the intelligent candidates become less intelligent (nabobobo sila). Name: ONE UP Comments|GFJBHEDF| Gordon is no different from the current breed of Philippine politicians. They are all enablers. They enable political dynasties to prosper. You could say that too to his running mate, Bayani Fernando. If I were a political strategist I could have used your information against Gordon and his running mate. Name: Dragonslayer CommentsCheer up, folks! The weekend is here; leave dirty, old politics alone, mend broken & hurt feelings, and all that negative load off your backs. Take the main squeeze to dinner or buy her flowers, go see a good flick, or watch the big game on the 42". Me?, I have a couple of valentine gigs to deejay on on this Friday & Saturday nights. How I love rubbing elbows with fancy-free, footloose, and happy people. I can't think of any other hobby that pays good money and cheer people up at the same time. Find your jovial side and always have a good one, ya'll. Name: JGF CommentsCalling the attention of OSCAR : What now about your paisano Panfilo 'Ping' Lacson? .... but Bigote is saying he is not under him anymore .... TRUE but were you not involve .... Name: Butch Coyoca CommentsThe next president of the Philippines will be anyone of the five. The unquestionable losers are the people. The Philippine remain static. None of the candidates has the desire to move the country forward. They're all after the almighty "SPAM: (Sex Power and Money) Name: elicsyon wats CommentsTo Marny Villanueva: Thanks for the invite. We have been following your postings and although we haven't always seen eye to eye, it's time to get together before it's too late. Our home country needs us ! g.y.r. Name: ONE UP Comments"If 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." Watch out for the second coming of the SON OF BATAC! Name: anthony k. CommentsNone of this candidates worthy to be president (all this candidate are very good in hiding their ill-gotten wealth and some don't), anyway, one of the candidate eventually will win and corruption will be the first order for him...... gumising na kayo kabataan, hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin asenso ang bayan. GMA - small but terrible and horrible. Name: WDC CommentsWe finally see who Ping Lacson is-he has no "balls" to face his accusers. This is the typical characteristics of Filipinos who are in power-they just tough when they are in a group but when alone, they are cowards. Name: 7gtg Comments"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! " Dude.. it's always been like that even when your were still a kid. It is a joke (to you) but it works.. So accept ka na lang sa reality at huwag maging frustrated.. hindi maganda sa health.. be happy. Count your blessings..better yet share your blessings to the kabayans back home. Name: 7gtg CommentsTagaguhit: " Sam: Don't label me as a draftsman, they work for architects and engineers. I do design projects with lots of stores in the US and Europe and to name a few like Theodore Alexander, Pier 1, Hobby Lobby, ..." Wow! big tiime ka pala kuya. Bakit ka nagta tiyaga sa PNL forum? Mga bakya lang kaming mga nandirito.. or baka ito lang ang kaya mo.. Name: 7gtg CommentsSAM to JRH: " JRH: It was a YouTube link and worked fine in my browser. Try updating your Flash Player.." JRH, next time you visit costco or best buy, look for Blue-ray dvd players that is 'YouTube' ready . This allows you to enjoy 'Youtube' in the comfort of your living room.. No need for PC. It is highly addictive though. Same advice i give to Sam. Name: WDC CommentsVillar knows what he is doing, he can manage to get out on the C-5 inquiry that led by Enrile. It is a chess game, Enrile and his cohorts in the senate don't have any idea to their next move. They should never present this C-5 inquiry to the senate floor unless they have their facts together. This is how we see how stupid and brainless officials we have running our country. My dog is smarter than these leeches. Enrile should resign and retire as an old man. I would like to tell him in Ilocano, "na-awanan kan ti panunot, masapol nga aginana kan lolo". Name: 7gtg CommentsKung sabagay, the only presidentiable who has 'presidential experience' is tada!: ERAP!!. The rest are all Bagito. Which means It is a waste of time debating who is more qualified or who can do the job. The goal really is to win. Then learn the ropes once on the job.. Filipino votes are not swayed during the campaign. Wala pang election, alam na ng isang Family kung kanino sila mag vote. So iyong mga nakatira sa subdivisions for example Camella ay, more likely will vote for Villar. Common sense lang. Someone built homes that the poor 7gtgs can afford.. it is like being part of a family. Now for Gordon and the others.. anong relation nila kay 7gtg? nothing but promises and hope. Name: joker CommentsNaku si Noynoy Abnoy na autistic at pathetic pa.He's so upset that he's been overtaken by Money Villar na bayad raw sa Quiapo ang survey niya and he's so arrogant if he's leading in the survey.Yan ba ang magiging Presidente..ay naku.Si Kris ba anong gagawing niya sa Malakanyang...First lady.....What a shame... From Ilocos....ERAP KAMI....kahit mga MARCOSES ay para kay VILLAR....no one will vote for him....Si GIBO....mga local officials lang ang mag-eendorse pero kunwari lang...sa totoo....ILOCOS IS ERAP COUNTRY. Name: Gent Gago Commentsif you're still agonizing on the festering conundrum of electing a president, the use of a dart board maybe the solution. like selecting a profitable investment vehicle in the stock market, where expert advices are never in short supply, you may use a dart board and avoid many speculations, innuendos, allegations, false charges and counter-charges spit out by many expert pretenders among us. many of us have self-serving interests to consider when electing a president. presidents use transactional politics that may benefit the voter later. it's the voter for me and I'll take care of you scenario that is being played during the election. if this is not your game, then use the dart board; it's fun in the sun. Name: deo CommentsDateline Q.C.---While waiting for our ride in the driveway of a hospital, a woman (who identified herself as a lawyer to the driver) not looking where whe was going bumped into a standing car. More startled than harmed, she berated the driver. A short while later, the husband (not knowing what really happened) joined the prea by hurling at the car what appeared to be box of pizza. Ignoring the two, the car left. Nonchalantly, the husband pickup the pizza, "pagpag" it and enter the hospital. Name: blumentritt CommentsI could sense by end of March or early April that brother Eddie, Nick, Jc and Jamby will just give way and team up with Dick. Votes for them will make the Gordon team ahead and unbeatable - Gibo, Erap, will be a long shot. Noy might end on the second place - while the billionaire candidate Villar will be institutionalized due to his loss not only financially but with a broken dream. Name: Gene CommentsDRAGONFLY: "If Gene's........accusations......is true" You mean to say that you have no emotion when you say something in this forum? You must be a cold blooded mammal. Your Gloria is the worst illegitimate ruler of Luzviminda. VOTERS remember those wicked congressmen of GO LIAR in May. Why? Bec. Gloria's agenda is to become PM. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsHacienda Luisita, until its farmers, the rightful owners, get their land from the Cojuangco clan, to which presidentiable Noynoy Aquino belongs, will remain a political carbuncle on Noynoy's back, as his Ally, congresswoman Riza Honteveros passionately reiterated. > LINK Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsCall them nincompoops; senator Legarda's National People's Coalition party, for moronically broadcasting at the outset, that they will support Ms Legarda, but will not support Villar. T'ain't no way to make friends and influence voters. You don't throw detrimental language like that, and expect Villar's supporters to cradle her. Now, senator Legarda is way behind Roxas in the VP polls. NPC's headmaster, "Danding" Cojuangco Jr really lost his grip. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsBad timing for actor Steven Seagal to approach Manny Pacquiao about filming a movie with the champ in the Philippines while Pacman is in the midst of training and concentrating on his March 13 12 round bout with Joshau Clottey. I trust the Pacman will set his enthusiasm aside and continue to workout and concentrate hard on the fight, or else... > LINK Name: Gibo CommentsNoynoy is the best of all the candidates for presidency. Feel ang sincerity to serve the country like his father and mother. Ang mahalaga ay matalino, tapat, hindi corrupt at may takot sa Dios sa pag-gawa ng masama. Kaya ang pinaka-mabuti sa lahat ay si Noynoy at Roxas walang bad records of corruption. Tayo ay sumubok ng bata, bago at mga maaasahan sa kabutihan. Ang gusto ko lamang mangyari kay Noynoy ay ipakita niya na sya ay formal na tipong kagalang-galang kumilos - hindi isang rugged type tumayo at umupo. Wala na akong comment pa. Ang Luisita Hacienda ay hindi lang sya ang may ari noon. Marami silang dapat mag-desisyon. Nabasa ko sa kanyang statement na kahit gobyerno ay mahihirapan i-solve ang problema although na gusto na niyang bigyan ng solusyon. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsIf I am correct, it all started with 8 pigs, brought to America on Columbus 2nd voyage. Now the they are running wild by the millions in most of USA. It's open season all year round for the porkies. You just need to pay for an annual hunting license. No fee for pluggin 'em. All you can eat. > LINK Name: Pinoy living in Larvik CommentsPhilippine election is just a showroom to politicians with vested interests. It`s the peoples faults after all. Our country's problems is huge, complex and it can`t be done by one person. The entire populace must helped solve the problems. The future President must sets as an example, deliver the message clearly and services effectively. Must have transparency, eradicate social injustices, and take a serious action to stop population explosion. The Philippines not necessarily needs an experienced leader. He must have a good conscience to run the country. nalakugmok na ang bansa natin. Filipinos wake up! our country still has the chance. GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES Name: JRH CommentsRegardless of whatever Phil authorities say about Sen. Lacson, the fugitive, he still untouchable. Reason. The Phils has only 10 countries out of 192 with exclusive extradition treaty agreement. So, for the elusive senator, the best bet will be the Caribbean (nice warm weather & lots of palm trees). If you recall the name Vesco (investment crook). Nobody ever bothered him when he took residence in the islands. Another famous Pinoy was the inventor of the fake stone-age Tausug tribe. Sen. Lacson is a smooth operator. I think he moved his assets over there a long time ago & who knows he might be undergoing plastic surgery right now..possible? Name: Sam CommentsTagaguhit: A thousand pardons. I translated tagaguhit as draftsman. Designer ka pala. Ano sa Tagalog ang designer? Unfortunately, One Up is not impressed. Name: JRH CommentsSen. Noynoy Aquino is not an innovator or a visionary. He has been a long-serving congressman & a senator and yet his dismal record, poor performance, & substantial accomplishments was very poor or non-existent. Also, the hanging Luisita scandal will haunt him. It's still a big question mark. So unless he comes up with a new plan to solve it people will not stop in their demands. There's a big difference when a farmer just having a share & having your own title of the land in dispute...as promised by the Cojuanco-Aquino dynasty. Noynoy must come up with something or anything. Name: ONE UP CommentsWhen one is unable to distinguish repatriation of foreign earnings of foreign workers to their homeland as FOREIGN AID" and not remittances , that is IGNORANCE. When one stubbornly insists that remittances of migrant workers are "foreign aid" that is simply STUPIDITY. When one detest Google and other forms of search engines and scared to death to venture into virtual libraries, that is GENERATIONAL. When one in unable to connect a 2.50 GPA to "C" or its numerical equivalent of 75%, that speaks well of the quality of EDUCATION one possesses. Yes, I am talking to you Dragonslayer! Name: ONE UP Comments|DRAGONSLAYER|The phrase boxed-in is not in reference that there were persons involved when you said "By whom?". In basketball, players find themselves teaming up to prevent a shooter of the opposing team from making a clean shot. When you said that foreign remittances are virtually foreign aid is an example of boxing yourself in. You are forced by your action (and you have no other option) but to defend your statement even to the point of becoming ridiculous and laughable. Learn some more idioms retired sailor boy! TCC what have you done to this man? Name: ONE UP Comments|122.148.34.58|The man from Down Under. Allow me to respond to your blog. The reason most Filipinos criticized the election process in the Philippines is the fact that they have seen the process of election being refined (and improved over the years) in the more prosperous and progressive democratic countries. Getting rid of all politicians is no guarantee that corruption will be wiped out. Suggesting no election ever is even worse. Name: ONE UP Comments|122.148.34.58|continue ... The elections laws that people's representatives write and enforcement of these laws will define if the election process is to be praised or condemned. Moreover, the freedom of every citizen to choose its own set of leaders is one hell of a right one should protect and die for. BTW what say you about the electoral process in Australia and the politics of Prime Minister Brown? Some kind words or critical? Are you an Australian voter? Name: ONE UP Comments|ALFREDO| Because the country has been left behind (relative to its closes neighbors), most if not all wanted a remedy so desperately. The only way to achieve that is a "quick fix." I don't think Filipinos will be very patient and forgiving as to continue the state of "status quo." Revolutions is an example of a quick fix. Sending their president to jail is also one example. Indicting more politicians with crimes against the sate is another one. Control of population growth and cessation of issuing further debt notes is another one, etc. What I am saying that there is a deep structural defect in government that quick remedy has to be done or the whole structure will collapse like a deck of cards. Name: ONE UP Comments|DIEGO TALAHIB| I don't know how you came to conclude that I am not propagating, promoting, endorsing, broadcasting etc. GMA politics.

Name: ONE UP CommentsIt is so naive to say that Lacson's non-appearance is the senate while the senate was winding down its business for the 14th Congress makes him a fugitive (running away from the truth).

This Congress could get no better in the future with the same senile, demented, and dirty old men (and a handful of testosterone driven, pre and post- menopausal Eves) Name: ONE UP CommentsOne blogger agrees with Dragonslayer's prescription of declaring a national MARTIAL LAW. Back to curfew, illegal imprisonment, military courts and Pinoy version of Gitmo and Abu Ghraib, suppression of freedom speech, representation and assembly, suspension of election, travel ban and condemnation of the free world. This is the second coming of MARCOS, the famous son of Batac and the immediate resurrection of the Aquinos (Cory and Ninoy) from their graves! Is there some common sense left among Filipinos in this website other than horse shit? Name: ONE UP CommentsThe information that the Gordons own Olangapo speaks volume of the danger of political dynasties seen from the Marcoses, Cojuangcos, Fernandos, Estradas, Arroyos, etc (too many to mention). Under Gordon and Fernando, the country will have a shadow government operated by the wife, daughter and son in the basement of Malacanang!

Diaz CommentsThe birdugo of the Martial Law Era of Marcos the kleptocrat is now on the run. Finally karma caught up with Ping Lacson. Ping Lacson might be on his way to Brazil were there is no extradition treaty. Ping will now apply for political asylum in Brazil. BTW Ping Lacson's US visa was cancelled due to his involvement in the spy case of Aquino. Name: Alfredo CommentsSam - Were you kidding or just playing-up to 7gtg on his sustainable corruption blog? I know you have this penchant to inject humor in your posts. Reminds me of Uncle Joe. I like it. But, there is just no way you can justify any kind of corruption, sustainable or not. And when it happens in P.I., you can bet it'd be "BIG". Just the other day, one leading presidential bet says the country loses P280 billion a year to corruption. No laughing matter in my book. Name: johnperez Commentsif Villar is spending on advertisement at a ratio of 6 is to one versus Aquino, how would you think he will recoup the millions he had spent so far when he becomes the president? Villar has the potential of being more corrupt than arroyo considering that he has has taken a softer stance on Arroyo and has kissed the behinds of the Marcoses. it is assured therefore that the Arroyos and Marcoses are freed from answering the cries of the people for justice for all their corruption. what say you? Name: Manuel C. Diaz CommentsNo matter who gets elected be it Nonynoy non performing Aquino, Villar talino at taga, Gibo talino, Gordon and Bayani the islas de ladrones will still be bogged down in corruption the reason the government is a huge extortion machine. Just try to do business in Islas de Ladrones you need permit from the President, the Mayor, the Barangay Capitan you also need approval of the Bishop all these are extortion centers. You incorporate the documents is more than one inch thick in California it is only a single page. The Indios are clueless why the Islas de Ladrones is now being overtaken by Bangladesh another basket case of a country. Name: Rey CommentsPNL: To be fair to all and to give us a fair assessments of each presidentiables, I think you should revise your presentation. Please focus on their credentials and what they intend to do if elected. It is apparent you give more credit and favor Aquino. Mentioning who is leading and the "parents legacy" is irrelevant and suggestive. Being connected to GMA is most unfair to Gibo, do not comment please. It give your true color and influenced our choice. SORRY, that's how I look at it. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsNo matter how often, persistent senator Aquino lies, denies, the Department of agrarian Reform confirms that Hacienda Luisita SCTex right of way (RoW), is way over priced. > LINK Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsThis we all know, to be true & self evident, that behind every man is a woman, from Adam & Eve, Samson & Delilah, David & Bathsheba, Caesar/Cleopatra/Anthony, Ferdinand & Imelda Marcos, Noynoy Aquino and ... Oops! Something wrong with this picture. 50 and still no wife, no child. What's up man, woman or in-between? which is it? Name: July Panlaqui CommentsMuch of the problems of our country are the result of our defective constitution. We are spending 2.3 Bilyon pesos a month on a useless Senate. Foreign capitals are effectively repelled by the 60-40% provision. Foreigners cannot do business here unless they tie up with a Pinoy or Pinoy owned corporation. Foreigner is only 40% and the Pinoy is 60%. As a result, no competition, low salaries for our people since most of the rich Pinoy are Chinese kuripots. These rich who owns the press and media centers are they who opposed vigorously charter change. Let us vote for the person who will change this pro rich constitution. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsNoynoy Aquino's relatives employed in president Macapagal Arroyo's administration are: Teresita Aquino Oreta = Head of Early childhood Care and Development Council; Margarita Cojuangco = President of Philippines Public Safety College; Paul Aquino = President of the Energy Development Corp. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsFrequent presidentiable debates will be forthcoming, now that the official campaign season has begun. As we all know, candidates capitalize on previous debater's answers befitting their agenda. Therefore, participants ought to write their answers in a sheet of paper, then read to the audience, to keep each answer pure and self evident, and not be a take off from what another debater's previous respond to the question. This would be fair and square to all. Name: jcayton CommentsGusto si Erap Estrada ang maging presidente dahil maganda ang Pilipinas noong siya ang nakaupo nang dalawang taon at kalahati. Kau-unti ang kidnaping, halos walang coruption sa gobyerno, NPA takot sila noon, Abu sayap nagtatago, economy is ayos, maraming bigas, ayos ang manga presyo kaya naudlot dahil sa gawa-gawa at maling paratang nang manga 'GANID' ganid na manga taong gustong mamuno at manga ambisyosong manag mayayaman. Name: tonyO CommentsIf Senator Lacson ordered the killing of Bubby Dacer-Corbito, he must have a MOTIVE for this criminal act. Who had a quarrel with Dacer? It was ERAP. Lacson was ERAP’s PAOCTF and chief of police. If Lacson had a hand in this double murder, it was not personal – he may only have implemented ERAP’s order. His principal was ERAP. ERAP should be charged for the DACER-CORBITO double murder. Imagine a convicted felon for the crime of plunder and a strong suspect for murder wants to come back and be elected again as President of Pinas? Seymo Gene? Name: RBLANG CommentsI also think that the coming election is a big joke. It's expensive and whoever is elected will be just the same as the other as we all know corruption is a very contagious disease. It's like a cancer in the Philippines. Malignant. I feel for all Pinoys, I hope there's a miracle cure for corruption. Name: deo CommentsI posted a few days back that a Pinas reporter once asked Aquino "if he is autistic". Well, the supporter of Aquino in this forum may rejoice. I have just seen a docudrama movie about an autistic person who were able to work her ideas she envisioned as she saw things differently than tonyO and 7gtng may see. Will Aquino can do the same? BTW, the character in the docudrama "Temple Grandin" is supposedly a professor at Colorado University and lecture around the world on autism. Name: RBLANG CommentsI also think this election is a waste of time and money of tax payer. whoever is elected will be the same as the other as we all know corruption is like a malignant cancer it's spread quickly. Name: JRH CommentsErrors were made in the last mock election. The scope of the test was very limited. The teachers manning the machines were not given crystal-clear instructions. As a result, a lot of mistakes were made. In other words, in this anticipated automated election more of the same boo-boos will happen. No such thing as keeping it simple. It looks complicated & confusing for some voters. So, if the educated (the selected voters in this test) made mistakes, how much more if no-read no-write or illiterates will manage. Yet Commissioner Melo keeps assuring us that there will be no problems. I think more training & more information are needed. Anticipate the probable problems to minimize mistakes. Name: LITO AQUINO CommentsDick Gordon is the topmost qualified to be put in the office, his experience to lead the Subic authority is a big factor to our land. He has the will and courage. Huwag tayong mga tanga mga kababayan, pinaglalaruan at pinaiikot at ginagamit lang tayo ng mga popular na pulitiko. I believed Gordon is a passionate leader and not a cruel. Name: R I P,against nationwide, local election CommentsYes Kabayan,again & again for the time being I have to continue posting my views in this forum as an opposition in the process of Nation-wide & Local Election, because I know to the deepest of our understanding (logically) That System Process;- N/W & L-Election, to a poor country "Philippines" that budgets a massive amount of money spent in this institution "Commission on Election" parang isang uri lang ng GAME SHOW na kinagigiliwan ng mamamayang mga walang common sense & they just ignore all the bad consequences;-I'm sure elected politicians will be corrupt, BECAUSE in their election campaign they spent millions & millions $$$ more than the total amount of their salary, aside from that, mga alipores na tumulong sa election campaign will be rewarded also, see? Name: ONE UP Comments|MISSISSAUGA|In response to your blog of do away with election. (1) It is more expensive to keep a dishonest elected official than boot him out of office through the electoral process. (2) It is the economic policies of the the government that create wide separation between the rich and the poor. Never has poverty been eradicated. No country is exempt. Countries prosper when the people have a government of laws and not of men and freedom is everywhere. Name: ONE UP Comments|TAGAGUHIT| Because you had the good fortune of making money as an artist of some kind in the Philippines and quite successful in establishing some international contacts, you began to show disdain to those migrant workers calling them blood suckers and opportunists. You even accused this blogger from NYC as indolent and surviving mainly on government dole-outs. All those allegations were of course unfounded. You are a bigot and a disgrace. If this disdain is indeed authentic, may I ask why you ever allowed your own children to work overseas instead of seeking the same path of good fortune like you did. After dishing others, now you are broadcasting the names of your foreign customers to promote yourself; bragging started. Amazing transformation from a man who was never born rich. Name: ONE UP CommentsWhen one is unable to distinguish repatriation of foreign earnings of foreign workers to their homeland as FOREIGN AID" and not repatriation of earnings , that is IGNORANCE. When one stubbornly insists that remittances of migrant workers are "foreign aid" that is simply STUPIDITY. When one detest Google and other forms of search engines and paralyzed by fear to venture into virtual libraries, that is GENERATIONAL. When one in unable to connect a 2.50 GPA to "C" or its numerical equivalent of 75%, that is a reflection of the quality of EDUCATION one possesses. Yes, I am talking to you Dragonslayer! Name: Lee (buyagan) CommentsKalokohan yang ginagawa ng batas natin tungkol sa global manhunt kay Lacson. Palabas lang yan, kunwari huhuliin tapos pakakawalan. Walang kuwentang batas, ilan na ang ginawa nila ng ganyan magmula kay Estrada, Honasan at iba pa. Mga ginigisa sa senado na malalaking isda walang nangyayari at nakukulong. Buwisit kayong mga tiwaling mambabatas, salot kayo sa lipunan at habang nandidiyan kayo ay walang asensong makakamtan. Hindi kayo magagaling kundi saksakan ng kapalpakan at kabubuhan. Name: R I P,against nationwide, local election CommentsMy views still against the creation of this democratic system (election & suffrage) you see, we can have all the basic democratic freedom, except abolish this institution of Nation-wide & Local Election in replace it with a system that is simple & inexpensive and the electorate for examples replaced instead in the knowledge of the members of the Batasang Pambansa, like electing the leader of the senate. Senator, Congressman or any qualified aspiring individual can apply for President of the Philippines and the Batasang Pambansa Or the congress are the one to judge in their application for President of the Philippines, less corruption marahil, because no money involves & the government will save million & millions of $$$ in the process of no Nation-wide election anymore. Name: Manuel C. Diaz CommentsIslas de Ladrones Government named three new Air Farce Generals these three newly appointed Air Farce General will command three newly created kite squadrons since the Islas de Ladrones has run out of donated junk airplanes. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsThe tears for former president Cory Aquino continue to dry-up. The heart attack continue to normalize. Only the ABC class, the manipulator group, 10% of the voting public, are keen on senator Aquino III. These group is equally keen against senator Villar, because they will have a hard time manipulating him. Villar is a self made billionaire. A from rugs to riches tough cookie. As such, Villar is an affront to the ambitions of the ABC 10% group. On the other hand Villar is a boon to the DE 90% class who want to make it like Villar, and who will not turn the Philippines into a welfare state. Name: Who One CommentsSen. Manny Villar has my vote for one. The majority of people in this forum who doubt Manny Villar definitely come from the ABC class which are the middle classes to upper classes and educated. 90% of the voting population in the Phils come from D and F classes which are the poor or extremely poor people who represent the masses. And on top of that, a lot of people back Manny Villar. Manny Pacquiao, Dolphy Quizon, Michael V, Sarah Geronimo all endorse Manny Villar. And Manny Villar also has a segment on the popular Eat Bulaga TV Show where there are cash prizes and others like house and lot gifts courtesy of Manny Villar. Villar will win in my humble opinion Name: Who One CommentsAny presidential candidate who wants to win must have to appeal to the massa (masses) who represent 90% of the voting public in the Phils. Most of the readers here in the PNL are not from that category which is D and E class. The people who comment negatively about Manny Villar are people who have vested interests in their holdings and are called "snobs" because they are not from the poor or working poor. Manny Villar is popular amongst the poor because he is one of them. He came from the slums of Tondo to become one of the richest. Same as Manny Pacquiao. Rags to riches story. Villar will win this election. Name: WDC CommentsIf the Philippine government is serious enough to arrest this fugitive Ping Lacson, they should put a million (USD) on his head. Folks, watch he can get away from this manhunt like stupid Honasan. Filipinos are clueless, once this over, they will reinstate him as senator. They might put a monument in his honor in the heart of Manila. Filipinos don't give a "sh#t of their future as long as they eat one meal a day. Name: Robert CommentsWhoever wins the Presidential election will not change Philippines. First of all, Filipino people living here in the United States of America should know the difference having an equal representation from each State and local government. The Philippines doesn't have the system to elect and provide equal representation. The only people elected in the higher up are the ones with known names or popularity. Those people are only representing Manila. These popular politicians a/k/a celebrities would only remember the people in the provinces during election year. My only wish is to make the Philippines a Federal State or government. Give the local government power to govern locally. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsThey were set. They were ready. They were going to denigrate and tear into the front runners; Villar, Noynoy and Gibo. T'was their only hope, to score a few points against the front runners, but to no avail. They were denied the opportunity. The front runners were no show at the Mirriam College forum. Until the format is changed, wherein each candidate respond to each question in writing, on stage, & their written responds read aloud by media to the audience, then & only then will a 100% participation happen again. This prevents subsequent debaters from using prior answers as take off points for their better than thou agendas. Name: Gene CommentsVOTERS FOCUS ON GLORIA ARROYO'S CANDIDATES PAST & PRESENT. WHY? BEC. GO LIAR IS AIMING TO BECOME PRIME MINISTER. The son, Mikey Arroyo instead of running for his 3rd term as Rep. of Pampanga's 2nd District advised Gloria to run either to escape prosecution or become PM. Therefore, Congressmen who supported Gloria must be uprooted from their existing positions to deny Gloria her wish in case Pampanguenos vote for her.

REFORM FOR A BETTER PHIL. Name: bebo CommentsLast X'mas vacation I asked a young woman sa isang malayong probensiya..sino ang iboboto mo sa darating na election sa pag presidente? she replied..si Villar poh. Sabi ko sa kanya, bakit si Villar? Ang sagot...la lang. Asked ko uli siya. kung halimbawa bukas na ang election and ngayon gabi umikot si erap at nabigyan ka ng isang kilong bigas at isang latang sardinas, sino na ngayon ang iboboto mo? walang pagkaduda na ang sagot ay...si erap na! tinanong ko uli, bakit si erap? kasi binigyan ako ng isang kilong bigas at sardinas. ganyan po ang iba sa atin kaya wag na kayo magtaka. Name: Ted CommentsIf Villar gets elected as President he will subdivide Luneta the Park into low cost housing projects. If Gibo is elected, he will pardon GMA even before charges are filed. Gordon will turn the Philippines into a resort country and there will no more tamad Pilipinos, Nonoy, will convert non-Catholics to Catholics, Madrigal will be the Philippine Mother, if she is not ousted by Santiago first, Erap will make Hueteng the national past time. I think Roxas is the better bet unless I missed something about him. Name: pinaskongmahal CommentsWe've seen the true color of 7gs protecting an incompetent and no brainer president with a performance rating of -38%(even lower than that of a moron). We've been raising hell of indignation against PGMA's incompetence and corruption but 7gs never condone such evil act but encourage PGMA to prosper. How can you dislodge her when she makes congress her captive luring them with the pork. I think 7gs belongs to the 14% non-believers of God. May his soul rest in peace. Name: pinaskongmahal CommentsJudge Solis-Reyes, I think it's about time to build a case against the Ampatuans of mass murder. Ignore all the silly antics of Fortun defending his murderer clients. The rotting bodies of 57 innocent victims buried with their POVs are enough grounds to convict Andal Jr and the rests of of the Ampatuans involved in this heinous crime. This is not a bailable crime, a gruesome murder beyond doubt. I know you're a brave and a legal genius, mete the sentence to the Ampatuans they deserved. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsWin or lose the 2010 RP presidency, presidentiable Noynoy Aquino & the Cojuangco's will not give up Hacienda Luisita to the rightful owners, the farmers of Hacienda Luisita, as of 1967, some 43 years ago. Specially since the Aquinos were successful in lobbying PGMA Gov't to build for them their own private Right of Way (RoW), the Luisita SCTex exit & entry, the so called Luisita interchange, as "Utang na loob" for Fmr Pres Cory's help in topling Erap in 2001, & paying the Aquinos/Cojuangcos P83 million on top to boot. They have, and are doing everything possible to hang on to Hacienda Luisita; "Farmers be damn." Name: Gibo CommentsSana manalo si Aquino at Roxas. Pero kawawa ang magiging susunod na presidente sa iiwanang bagsak na ekonomiya. Kailangang maging mahaba ang ating pisi sa pag-intindi dahil maraming kinamkam na salapi ang kasalukuyang namamahala. Si GMA ay maiituturing na kunsintidor ng mga buktot na magnanakaw o mandaraya ng bayan. Self interest lamang at hindi ang tunay na dahilan sa pagtulong na maging maganda ang Pilipinas. Puros paimbabaw lamang ang pagpapakita ng mabuting salita. Pero, ang dahilan din naman ay ang maraming taong bayan dahil marami ang hindi marunong sumunod sa batas.
