This photo was shared by Kevin Ray Chua on Facebook so I just want to share this on my blog. If Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is an invalid 14th President, so as well as her midnight appointees like Corona. I think the new administration has the right to impeach the midnight appointees made by GMA since she was not the real President during her time.
ComElec (Commissions on Elections) declared that the real 14th President should be the late actor Fernando Poe Jr. (although he had not rendered his service) for the sake that he was really the winner of 2004 Presidential Election.
Disclaimer: The picture above is not mine. I just want to share this.
Floyd Mayweather is such a weirdo (Sorry for using it but that's the word I can describe on him). Months ago, he wanted to fight boxing champion Manny Pacquiao and demanded for a blood test to ensure that Manny is not using drugs. Pacquiao was busy then on politics for campaigning the position as Congressman in Sarangani Province. Now that he won as a representative for the province, he is now on vacation in the United States together with his family. Pacquiao said that he is ready to fight Mayweather. What's going on with Mayweather's mind that he just said about the retirement?
Team Pacquiao is not buying about Mayweather's retirement. Manny has not commented yet because he is on vacation. Top Rank promoter Bob Arum believes that Floyd was just babbling.
Joson said that Mayweather just wants to get a higher percentage. He also said that if Pacquiao-Mayweather will not push through, Manny will fight anyone.
There would be a possible rematch between Pacquiao and Cotto.
I was shocked to know that the Malacañang Palace has a P10M Budget for the Independence Day. This would be the last Independence Day rites of the outgoing President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The militant group Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) has questioned the expensive celebration.
Elena Bautista-Horn, the Presidential Management Staff head said that the celebration on June 12 will feature a grand fireworks display and an 11 float parade. In the afternoon, a civic military will be staged for showcasing the achievements of President GMA. There is also free rides of LRT-MRT for those students who want to watch the fireworks display.
Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes Jr. said that the grand exit of the outgoing President should be opposed. He explained, "People don’t need Arroyo to have a grand exit. The real meaning of Independence Day should be observed instead of being hijacked with narrow political ends. It will be a dishonor to our forefathers if June 12 will be converted into an Arroyo circus."
Bautista-Horn defended the P10 million budget because she said this celebration is for the people to make sure that the celebration will be enjoyed by the whole nation.
I beg to disagree by what Bautista-Horn had said. No doubt that Independence Day is for the people but are they sure that the celebration will be enjoyed by the whole nation? I may be 'pilosopo' and I am from Cebu but can I go to Manila to witness the expensive celebration for free? I cannot even have a free ride of the LRT-MRT because I am not from Manila so I must say this can be only enjoyed by the people who are in Manila and not by the whole nation.
The P10M budget is very expensive and I think that spending this too much does not fit our country's status.
Ngano karon raman na nigawas nga naay psychiatric problem si Sen. Noy2x Aquino? Tungod kay modagan sya pagka Presidente? Kung naa pa xay psychiatric problem, dapat in the first place, dili unta na xa mahimong politiko, dili unta na xa mahimong representative sa ilang banwa, dili unta na xa mahimong senador og dapat di na xa maabot sa karon nga situation nga gedani xa sa mga tawo nga himuon pagka Presidente. di ba?
My friend replied
mmm..that is what you call Black Propaganda: "Black propaganda is false information and material that purports to be from a source on one side of a conflict, but is actually from the opposing side. It is typically used to vilify, embarrass or misrepresent the enemy."
isn't it common? election date is near already...todohan najd ang pang convince pra hakot ug votes...
I believe that any medical records from any person should be confidential. I was working in a BPO Company that as long as possible, the data that we were working on should only be in the company's premises. Those information that we encountered are owned by celebrities in Hollywood and some politicians in the USA. Now, during the election here in the Philippines, I was wondering why it is easy for some people to bring the delicate information in public against Sen. Noynoy Aquino?
That is black propaganda. I do not believe those misleading information against the senator. Many people denied that those information are FAKE. I believe it is fake because it is not certified authentic from any psychologist but they were only using the Department of Psychology in Ateneo De Manila University to make it real. ADMU is a prestigious school and they don't want to be used to any dirty politics.
The NP-ALAYON Grand Rally was held in Naga this day of May 2, 2010. We all knew that NP stands for Nacionalista Party, color orange and the standard bearer is Sen. Manny Villar, but the people of Naga were wondering why Governor Gwen Garcia and running for Vice-Governor Glen Soco were in the stage?
On the stage are Congressman Eddie Gullas, Governor Gwen Garcia and running for Vice-Governor Glen Soco together with running for councilors of Naga
This is the stage where the NP-ALAYON GRAND RALLY was held in Naga. You can see that on the left side, the posters of Governor Gwen Garcia and Glen Soco. The rest of the posters were from NP-ALAYON. The stage was full of color orange.
Sen. Manny Villar quoted during the interview while his endorsers was hit by CBCP as womanizer.
"Ang mahalaga ay yung aking buhay. Alam naman ng mga kababayan na ang aking buhay ay simple lamang."
"What is important is my life. The people knew that my life is just simple."
Do you agree that Sen. Manny Villar is living in a simple life? How much did he spend for his advertisements on television and radio that we mostly hear anytime and anywhere?
Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura? Rox: Why should I swim in the sea of garbage???
Nag-Pasko ka na ba sa gitna ng kalsada? Rox: Why should I celebrate Christmas in the middle of the street when it is not safe while having fireworks?
Yan ang tanong namin, Tunay ka bang isa sa amin? Rox: My answer is I am not one of them.
Nalaman mo na bang mapapag-aral ka nya? Rox: Really? I didn't knew Manny Villar when I was in kindergarten. As far as I remember, it was my parents who sent me to school.
Tutulungan tayo para magka-trabaho? Rox: Why? Is he my backer?
At kanyang plano’y magka-bahay tayo? Rox: Why now? We already have a house. Could he give a house to anyone living in the country for the homeless?
Si Villar ang tunay na mahirap. Rox: That is why he is rich with lots of businesses.
si Villar ang tunay na may malasakit. Rox: I can't see it.
Si Villar ang may kakayahan At gumawa ng sariling pangalan. Rox: Anyone has the ability and to make his own name.
Si Manny Villar ang magtatapos ng ating kahirapan. Rox: Do we really need a person just to end the poverty? NO! HE CAN'T DO THAT ALONE! Every Filipinos should make a stand and do their thing to end poverty.
I always hear this jingle every now and then from television to radio and that is why people almost memorized the song, including me. He is the only politician who has lots of advertisement. His name is always present on WOWOWEE, by the time Willie Revillame announced that he found a brown envelope that contained Php 2 Million outside the door of his house. Few months later, Manny Villar announced that he was the one who gave the money. Duh? They were making dramas because election is coming. Why are you making this kind of PAKULO during election? Of course, he is a businessman and he has funds for this kind of PAKULO, very expensive, especially on the ad slots.
The jingle only focuses on the word MAHIRAP or POOR. How many politicians that are running for PRESIDENT have already used the word??? Since I was a kid, I always hear this but still we are POOR, OUR COUNTRY IS MAHIRAP BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION!!!
Do we really have to remain poor and some politicians are getting richer???
If Manny Villar is really poor, why is he spending a lot of money for his political campaigns??? From being poor, he should think that less cost campaign is very effective to promote his jingle entitled NAGING MAHIRAP.
I want to get rid of poverty but it doesn't mean I want to get rich after all. All I want is a progressive country with NO GRAFT AND CORRUPTION.
Manny Villar thanked Baby James Aquino-Yap for an unexpected endorsement. Baby James is the son of Kris Aquino and the basketball player James Yap and nephew of the Senator, Noynoy Aquino for running the Presidency.
Kris Aquino said sorry to his brother and sisters for the naughtiness of Baby James who she fondly called as Bimby. She stated, “Hay naku, ang ka naughty-han ni Bimby! Talagang heaven's way of making me feel all I did before to stress Mom. True, he said "Veeyar" in Bacolod rally. Nag naughty siya kasi 10th event namin that day- pagod na. Bimby is sikat so nasa news,”
This is the Holy Week and this is the time for reflection of our wrong deeds. I know I am not a very religious person but I pray. We all know that election is nearly coming but we can't deny that there are lots of ways to cheat. Some politicians may kill other politicians. Where is the essence of Holy Week if those things will happen, right? The seven capital sins, do anyone of you have one or two with these seven capital sins: lust, greed, gluttony, sloth, envy, pride and vainglory.
On television, they talk about greed that relates to some politicians. That is the greed of power. I just hope that there will be no violence in this coming election.
I am just an ordinary employee of a company with a regular wage. Now that election is coming, I want changes in my own country, progression. The question is how can I help my country when I am just an ordinary Filipino person?
For me, I will vote for a president who is not corrupt. I am expecting a President who has concern to his fellowmen and his country. The President should implement that those people who have work should pay their taxes religiously.
I've been employed to some companies. I am not a graduate but at least two years in college. I am happy that it was easy for me to find a job and even happier when I am employed to a reputable company because I am sure to myself that I could have good benefits. At least, I could help my country in a little way through paying my taxes.
But I observed that my own country has no progress. Corruptions are all over the country. Some politicians are getting richer because the money of the people are already on their pockets.
Filipinos are already hardworking but how come we are still behind and already belonged to the 3rd world country? The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. I hope that people from the low status of our community could have decent jobs for their family.
If everyone has decent jobs with regular wages, people can pay their taxes and everyone can help our country.
I beg to disagree for building a monument for Manny Pacquiao. I admire and respect him for being the Greatest Boxer in the World and Filipinos are getting famous for our own talent. He already have the fame and riches: an actor, a recording artist, a wanna-be politician... what more can he ask for?
I say Manny Pacquiao is a very humble person but I think he should disapprove a monument depicting himself. The politicians are riding with the fame of Manny Pacquiao for using him now that the election is near. Besides, he have been welcomed to any provinces or city, like Manila, Cebu and his own General Santos. I've heard that Manila and Cebu will build a monument for him. What the...??? A monument in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao? Come to think of it that the money use to be build for the monument comes from the people of the Philippines. You know, OUR TAXES???
It is such a waste if the project for a monument will be pushed-through. There are no benefits that we could get from it. I hope that whoever politicians are thinking of the project will change his or her mind that the money should be used for the welfare of the people in their town, city, province and much more for the country.
The past few days, I was shocked when I heard this from a co-employee that Manny Pacquiao (preferring the Boxing Champ) will run for Vice-Mayor in Cebu City. I just said, "What??? After running as a Congressman in General Santos and Sultan Kudarat, he will invade Cebu for the vice-mayor position?" I kept thinking on thinking when in fact he is not a resident in Cebu.
I searched for it and really found out that it is really Manny Pacquiao - but not the boxing champ. He is Atty. Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao who claimed to be a distant related to the Filipino boxer. He will be the running mate of the younger sister of Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña, Georgia Osmeña.
Pacquiao, who is 61, a Cebuano bar topnotcher and for the past 32 years he has been a law professor in the University of the Visayas. He was also an Office-in-Charge (OIC) councilor, a Chairman of the Committee on Laws and Revision of Laws, an Assistant City Attorney and Acting City Attorney, and a Special Assistant.
I asked a friend who will he be going to vote for this coming election. He said he had no idea because he is not yet a registered voter. After a while, he told me that the best President in the country was Ferdinand Marcos, to think he is just 18 years young and I am already 21 years young. To think we never knew him but only in our history books. He told me about the works of the former President. I agreed but it was before the Martial Law.
I remember when I was in high school, that was the time I only met Ferdinand Marcos. For the first four years of serving the country, it was really great. On the second term, he was re-elected as President. Series of demonstrations occurred by the students about the higher rates of tuition fees until the Martial Law.
My mother told me that there's was no problem here in the Visayas area especially in Cebu. It was in Manila and the Luzon area that had the problem and also in Mindanao. The Visayas area consists of islands unlike Luzon and Mindanao have greater and wider areas so it's easy for people to form a group.
I've been waiting for this video to be uploaded from anyone in YouTube.
Joseph Estrada was already ousted for President, in another word, IMPEACHED due to Plunder case and any other illegal acts in the country. Still has the guts to run for President this coming election because of the unfinished tasks in the country. By the way, what kind of task? Is it good for the country or ONLY FOR HIMSELF????
I've heard on television that if Manny Villar would be President, he said that he will disconnect himself from any business he has in the present to avoid CONFLICT OF INTEREST. My only reaction was, "REALLY???? SURE????". The question is how will he do that??? I think that's very impossible to think that he has lots of real-estate businesses and there's also a joint project with his partner, Willie Revillame for the Wil Tower Mall.
On Facebook, it quoted "This is the first joint venture project of presidential candidate, Senator Manny Villar and popular host of top noontime show 'WOWOWEE', in the Philippines, Mr. Willie Revillame. WIL TOWER MALL is a banner project of VISTA RESIDENCES." The mall will rise sooner or later. Revillame announced the mall in Wowowee before his endorsement of Manny Villar , so I just thought that, "Wow! Willie is already a rich man." We all knew about his luxurious yacht so maybe he could afford himself for the mall business. For how many months during the election campaign, Willie fully announced for endorsing Villar and telling the people about the mall that they are partners.
Manny Villar is just so smart in terms of business. Wowowee has lots of fans, WORLDWIDE. So his main target are the Filipino Subscribers who want to have a vacation in the Philippines. I think Willie is the dummy here and the mall was named after him just to cover-up Manny Villar and his CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
I've read an article in a local newspaper that Governor Gwen Garcia decided to stop the CPDRC (Cebu Rehabilitation Center) inmates to dance. Many got sad about the news. The dancing of the prisoners was conceptualized by Byron Garcia.
As we have observed, the inmates are really enjoying with the dance routines and also they got famous here on the web. Dancing is a good exercise and a very enjoyable activity that could help you forgot your problem in a while.
CPDRC is a rehabilitation center (obviously!). Of course, it has a purpose, to restore one's self or making a change for improvement. A long time ago, there were cases of jail break, drugs and gambling. CPDRC was known by DILG (Department of Interior and Local Government) as a model that should be implemented in local government units and also in jail towns.
I still don't know why Governor Gwen Garcia wanted to stop the activity. Is it because of the rumor that the inmates should have received talent fees from Michael Jackson's This Is It?
I am still undecided who to vote for President this coming election on May 2010. With the campaign ads I've seen on tv, I got stuck with Noynoy's promise: HINDI AKO MAG-NANAKAW (I will never steal).
Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III had no plan to run for president until the death of his mother, the first lady President, Corazon Aquino. The former president, the icon of people power, had a big contribution for the freedom of Philippines under Ferdinand Marcos' Martial Law. His father, Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., was a Philippine senator and an opposition leader against President Ferdinand Marcos and was assassinated. He was convinced by his siblings and the people who believe that he could do changes for our nation.
Here is the campaign ad of Sen. Noynoy

This is a clip I've seen in YouTube. I am just curious about Aga Muhlach's opinion. This is a video clip from Straight Talk in 2007. The language used in this conversation is Filipino so I have translated it to English so that foreigners can understand what the conversation is all about. Please see below after the video.
Mr. Aga Muhlach is a famous Filipino actor, a popular matinee idol at his teens and a product endorser.
I really agree what Aga Muhlach said about this conversation.
TRANSLATION OF THE CONVERSATION
Host: It's very rare to happen that a showbiz personality and respected actor talks about the real situation.
Aga Muhlach: Sometimes it's sad because even though how hard you try to make for a living, how progressive we are making to our life, but if you look around you, you may be weakened because of your country. It's too much, but I am really affected.
It's really hideous to see around you, you may think, how will I save if I have no place to stay for? You have a beautiful house, a car, what will you do with those things if there are people killing in front of you?
How will you go out? Where will you go, you have no well-ordered place to go here in the country? In our place, I won't know, there are lots of money circling around, you've heard, one hundred million or billion that are kept and stole, why is this penetrated?
What I see in this country is deterioration. The appearance, the service, all in all, is getting ugly and uglier.
You see, it's very dirty. The system is very unpleasant and you could see that the people are suffering.
If you're in the house, you just open the tv, you will see these people wearing a tie, a coat. All of them are saving with their own money.
Some are just playing blind, closing their eyes because they feel 'Who are we? Will they listen to us? Do we have something to do? I am going to vote, is my vote has got something to do? Even though I will vote for this person, if they really want to win, their money will do the move, not my vote.
I feel that, honestly, it's useless because whatever you do, the people in the higher position, whatever they wish or do are still their command. What I mean to say is, the people knew who were stealing, who's doing evil but nothing happened. You are just watching it, so what are you going to do now?
Ten years ago, what do Philippines looked like? Now, it's different. What more for another ten years? Ten years from now, what will Philippines look like? So, where are we now?
Host: They're angry, people feel bad about it?
Aga Muhlach: People feel bad about it, it is because they have no money, they don't have the capability, they are insecure, they can't move, they feel that nobody listens to them. What I mean to say, example, people of 5,000 are having a rally. It's just 5,000 compare to the people who are really in poverty.
I still believe that there is God, of course. He will fix it. I still believe in the law of karma. To those who are doing evil, I'm sorry. To those who are in the position, you did nothing but only to boast like you're wise.
Host: Say it, don't be shy, STEALING.
Aga Muhlach: I mean to say, enough! Have a little pity, just a little bit, just 10% of the stealing, give it to the poor.
Philippines has a huge land. Now, for sure, the government owns it. I just want to imply, this government...
Host: All of the government, maybe they will mistaken you that you're talking about a particular administration... Aga Muhlach: No, no, it's not, the whole, the governance. Yes, what I mean to say, well, the person who is in the position. Even if it's the past, the present and who ever will be the next. Who ever is in the position right now, you were put there to fix the Philippines. Host: You are obviously very frustrated...
Aga Muhlach: So why are you going to take this? There's load of money, don't tell that there's no money, that's why people are getting mad because you say it's poverty.
It is clear by now that Willie Revillame won't run for any position for the next year's election.
He said in an interview that he is thinking how can he give happiness to people like now that he is going to Las Vegas for a Wowowee tour especially to those people there who can't go home in our country. He also said that if there's time, may be not now, maybe someday, maybe after three years, maybe after six years, it depends.
Willie Revillame is the host of the number one noontime show of ABS-CBN which is Wowowee. I am a viewer and enjoy the show so much. His live audience really love him. We saw that a fan made a poem for him how she really idolize Willie.
In this coming election, Sen. Manny Villar is waiting for the confirmation of Mr. Wowowee to be his running mate as vice-president or as one of his senators. Willie is very active joining the senator on his projects, nowadays.
Dolphy, the Comedy King, advised Willie that if possible, he should not join the dirty tricks of politics. He also said that Willie had given too much happiness and help to the people. He should continue this in the entertainment world and no need for being vice-president or senator.
Dolphy is right. Willie should listen to him. We all knew that Willie is living in controversial life and giving happiness to people is admired enough. Also he should listen to his daughter, Meryll, who told him not to get involved politics.
On the stage are Congressman Eddie Gullas, Governor Gwen Garcia and running for Vice-Governor Glen Soco together with running for councilors of Naga
This is the stage where the NP-ALAYON GRAND RALLY was held in Naga. You can see that on the left side, the posters of Governor Gwen Garcia and Glen Soco. The rest of the posters were from NP-ALAYON. The stage was full of color orange.
