Noynoy Aquino giving relief goods with Streamers for 2010 Election

(Photo by Sun Star Pampanga)


While people were trying to help typhoon ondoy victims Noynoy Aquino was busy campaigning. Futhermore, a specific example is that in the province of Pampanga, while everybody was consolidating relief goods for flood victims, Noynoy's supporters were busier putting up Noynoy 2010 streamers along Olongapo-Gapan road. Premature politicing, or just pure aristocratic insensitivity towards those who are suffering? One incumbent was so disgusted that he ordered his people to teardown these campaign paraphernalia in broad day light.

KORINA BINUKO NA NAPWERSA LAMANG SI SENATOR MAR ROXAS

Dahil sa emosyonal na pag-iyak ni Korina Sanchez noong Setyembre 1, 2009 sa Club Filipino in Greenhills sa San Juan habang ang kaniyang katipan na si Senador Mar Roxas ay nagdedeklara ng pag-urong ng kaniyang kandidatura sa pagkapangulo sa 2010 ay napatunayan ng marami na ang nasabing kontrobersyal na “withdrawal” ay hindi talaga bukal sa loob ni Mr Palengke bagkus siya ay napwersa lamang na gawin ito.

Mali ang inaakala ng nakakarami sa ating masang mga kababayan na ang mga luhang iniiyak ni Korina noong araw na iyon ay dahil nawala sa kaniya ang pagkakataong maging unang ginang ng bansa sa panahong naging mapalad sana si Mar sa eleksyon. Kung susuriin, si Korina Sanchez ay isang kilala at tanyag na personalidad na at inirerespeto ng mga tao sa kaniyang napiling larangan kung kaya’t hindi siya desperadong makamit ang titulo bilang “first lady” ng bansa. Sa totoo lang, ang mga luha ay bunsod ng isang sikreto na pinakakaingatang huwag mabunyag sa publiko.

Ayon sa isang mapagkakatiwalaang source, ang kawawang si Mr Palengke ay kinuyug lamang ng kaniyang mga kapartido upang umatras sa laban at magbigay daan sa biglaang pagkandidato ni Noynoy sa 2010. Bukod sa pagkuyug ng kaniyang mga kasamahan sa partido, napag-alaman din na ang pag-atras ni Mar sa 2010 ay isa sa mga binigay na kondisyones ng tinatawag na civil society groups upang sila may patuloy na sumuporta kay Noynoy at sa kaniyang magiging laban sa dadating na eleksyon.

Alam ng tao na marami ng dugo, pawis, luha at pera ang ginugol ni Senador Mar Roxas - sampu ng kaniyang pamilya at mga taga-suporta - upang siya ay makalibot sa buong bansa dahil sa kagustuhan niyang ipakilala ang kaniya sarili sa ating mga ilang milyong kababayan sa ibat-ibang parte ng bansa. Bago pa nagdeklara ang ibang presidentiables ay malinaw na malinaw na sa lahat ang gustong tahakin na landas ni Mr Palengke. Ngunit dahil sa biglang pagsulpot ni Noynoy sa listahan ng mga presidentiables ay nauwi sa wala ang mga naging puhunan ng kawawang senador.

Ngayon, bukod sa paghanga sa kaniyang ginawang pagpaparaya ay dapat kaawaan din ang katipan ni Korina Sanchez dahil siya ay malinaw na napagkaisahan ng kaniyang mga kapartido at ng mga grupong malalakas sa ating lipunan sa ngayon.

NOYNOY’s CIVIL SOCIETY PATRONS TO DUMP HIM AFTER 2010

Ambassador Ernesto Maceda’s take on the civil society groups’ incessant pitching of Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino as the only viable instrument of reform says it all. In his column with the Daily Tribune, Maceda claimed that former social welfare secretary Dinky Soliman and her cohorts have been strutting around as if they have a monopoly of the reform agenda and that their elitist mentality will in no way bag the presidency for their candidate, Noynoy. Maceda further pointed that they sang the same tune in 2001 when they backed then Vice President Arroyo but later admitted their so-called fault in a highly controversial en masse resignation at the Hyatt Hotel in 2005.

That scenario only proved that these civil society groups can and have been using their influence to deliberately position favored personalities in the government and unfortunately after milking the official to their hearts content would intentionally discard their pawn like a dirty piece of rag and unitarily trample in public. Will Noynoy, who is most assuredly a neophyte in the intricacies of our country’s politics, be able to handle this? Will his parents’ name and legacy be able to protect him from the clutches of these civil society groups who have been fronting as patriots but are actually backstabbers to the very sense of the word? Remember the time when Dinky Soliman was unseated from her throne at DSWD and with Vice President Noli De Castro subsequently assuming her place? Did she not approach former President Corazon Aquino and immaturely bashed President Arroyo, the very same person who gave her that position and who – as the top leader of the land - has the prerogative to appoint anyone she sees fit. Did Dinky not return to Malacañang to offer her services as an adviser to Noli after the bashing and even sang a song for GMA during a dramatic walk in the Palace grounds a year later?

They did it before so they are most likely to do it again. Mark my words, if Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino succeeds in the upcoming Presidential Election in May 2010, his so-called patrons from the civil society groups headed by Dinky Soliman will most assuredly find a way to bring him down. Maybe they will use his inexperience as a reason or maybe his elitist view on things which could result to his inability to obtain the nod of the “masa” and the militant organizations in the country.

Just like progressive personalities like Representative Satur Ocampo of Bayan Muna, these civil society groups will find a way, an issue or even a physical attribute of Noynoy just so they can boot him out of Malacañang. The reported “talk between two friends” being coordinated by United Opposition spokesperson Jejomar Binay between deposed president-still-wanting to be President Joseph Estrada and the Liberal Party’s standard bearer will already be ticked off by Dinky Soliman and her minions as Noynoy’s first mistake in their secret score board.

ERAP PUSHING GLORIA’S OUSTER FROM BEHIND

(of the Concerned Citizens Movement)

Former Pres. Joseph Estrada was said to be using his co-financed Alternative Budget Initiative (ABI), which claims to be a movement for a participatory, transparent and accountable budget system in the government, to push for Gloria’s ouster through the exploitation of the glooming inquest on the First Family’s non-declaration of assets. Liling Briones and Jose Diokno, who both worked under ERAP’s previous administration, were the lead conveners and movers of ABI. As planned, ABI would be presenting their “case” on linked-up media outfits, which could very well build up on the issue in order to generate public outrage like the scenarios in 2001 Edsa Dos.

Since ABI’s inception, Erap had been consistently funding it with not less than a Php 100,000 per month. Sources even claim that the said amount bloats as per request of Briones or Diokno. Part of ABI’s current efforts was their participation in the ongoing Social Watch Philippines that had been scrutinizing the 2009 financial budget. Thus, this explains the projected hype on Gloria’s spendings here and abroad.

Other than Estrada, names like Dulce Cepeda and Bebu Bulchan who were in close connections with another former Pres. Fidel Ramos had also been on top of the list of ABI benefactor. These two also got involved in last November 28, 2007 Peninsula Stand-off. Apart from which, they were also seen with Sen. Panfilo Lacson, Marili Osias of the Concerned Citizens’ Movement, Gus LAGMAN of Black and White (BnW) Movement, Linda Montayre of the Fortunato ABAT group (Coalition for National Salvation) and ex-ambassador Roy Señeres.

Money and lots of it are keeping this anti-Gloria phenomenon in the air. Keeping track on this administration’s finances is obligatory for concerned taxpayers. There is nothing entirely wrong with it. However, it loses track whenever politicians especially a convicted plunderer puts his hand on it.

ERAP-LED FOOD FIGHT “Trying to Wash His Hands Clean Before 2010”

After the truth is out of former President Erap Estrada financing a movement called the Alternative Budget Initiative (ABI), which claims to be a movement identified with its participation on transparent and accountable budget system in the government, public cannot help but speculate on whether these current hype on Gloria’s expensive dinners were for the sake of finance lucidity or for political grooming. The Estradas who had just doled-out a huge amount to finance ABI surely expects something in return by the end of coming election. Besides, ABI conveners- Liling Briones and Jose Diokno who both served under the short-lived Estrada administration would not be giving their services for nothing. Last August 5th, Erap handed-out another split-cash worth Php 100,000 for ABI in time for ABI’s participation in the Social Watch Philippines that had been scrutinizing the 2009 financial budget.

Other than ABI, Erap was also rumored making links with various media outfits in the country with the help of certain Rick Serrano. The two were actually feeding press people with things that could generate another tension that could inevitably spark another Edsa Kwatro. With the way things are, Erap is noticeably making the bargains to stall the coming elections. This way he could probably be thinking of reliving Gloria’s ascendancy to power and maybe rule us for another decade. Philippine politics is clearly on its biggest downfall when we’re having laundered politicians coming back in.

The fiasco over the $20,000 in Le Cirque and that of the $15,000 steakhouse buffet could have been a doing of one very “fascinated” administration rival. The intent of getting a closer look at Gloria’s whereabouts and activities in the U.S could not have been for sole reasons of transparency? Besides, the hype on the Arroyo’s spendings and earnings had been hyped since ABI and Erap’s 2010 presidential ambition started sinking-in. This is obviously a well-coordinated effort which none could have prepared unless he had this strong disagreement with Gloria.

As the 2010 election nears, politics is getting dirtier than ever. Ill intentions are pouring-out like typhoon from both camps manned by the Opposition and the Leftist moralists; all for the sake of taking Pres. Gloria out of the picture. As ABI continues to take its flight, the contention on the president’s assets would surely be getting worst. Sadly, a fine movement had to be tainted with politicking purpose. No wonder that faith on the coming elections had gone down the drain. There aren’t decent presidentiables left that would be worth Malacañang.

MAR ROXAS INGGIT SA DINNER SA NEW YORK

Hanggang saan kaya balak paabutin ni Senador Mar Roxas ang mga patutsada laban kay Gloria para lamang makakuha ng pogi-points mula sa mga taong bayan na pilit niyang nililinlang? Bukod sa pagmumura sa isang rally, pag-atake sa Cheaper Medicines Bills at palabasin ang kaniyang bersyon bilang mas maganda at masunog sa bandang huli, pasuot ng kwintas na bawang sa senado at pagsasawsaw sa usaping kalusugan ni GMA ay tila may bago na namang pauso si Mr Palengke - ito ay ang busisiin ang napabalitang dinner sa isang restoran sa New York at gamitin na naman ito para sa kaniyang political strategy.
Maiintindihan sana natin ang ganitong balitaktakan kung valid issues lang ang magiging palitan sa magkabilang nag-uumpugang kampo pero masyado naman yata pinababa ng senador ang usapan sa lebel ng ordinaryong tsismis lamang dahil sa kawalan ng ebidensya sa kaniyang mga paratang. Halatadong-halatado tuloy itong si “boy bawang” na pilit nitong isisiksik ang sarili sa mga maiinit na isyu mapag-usapan lamang at mabigyan lang ng pagkakataon na makilala para sa plano niyang pagtakbo sa dadating na eleksyon.
Hindi kaya ito konektado sa naging maugong na balita dati na kaya biglang umatras si Senador Ping Lacson sa kaniya planong pagkapangulo ay dahil may namamagitang alyansa sa dalawang senador? Ito ay ang nabunyag na alyansa na papanalunin ni Ping si Mar at proproteksyunan ng naman ng huli ang una sa mga kasong kriminal kapag nakapwesto na. Eto ba ang dahilan kung bakit masyadong papansin ngayon si Mr Palengke na dati-rati naman ay hindi niya ginagawa? Mukhang nahawaan na ni Mr Exposé si Mar Roxas at siya na ngayon ang ginagawang mikropono aka spokesperson ni Ping Lacson para bigyan ng kredebilidad ang kaniyang mga patutsada kay Ate Gloria.
Alam na alam kasi ni Ping na gasgas na gasgas na ang kaniyang pangalan at ano mang pasasabugin nito laban sa kasalukuyang administrasyon ay ikakataas lamang ng kilay ng sambayanang Pilipino at iisipin na pilit niya inililihis ang usapan para proteksyunan ang kaniyang sarili.
Mag-isip sana si Senador Mar Roxas na hindi sa anu pa mang gimik politikal siya maboboto sa 2010. Hindi pagsuot ng kwintas na bawang o sa pagsawsaw sa mga isyu mapapansin ang isang kandidato dahil ito ay karaniwan na natin nakikitang ginagawa ng mga ibat-ibang presidentiables na lakas loob na humaharap sa ating mga Pilipino at lumiligaw ng boto mula sa atin. Kung gusto talaga ni Mr Palengke makapwesto sa Malacañang ay mas marapat na valid na mga isyu lamang ang kaniyang gamit sa paghamon ng balitaktakan at sa ngayon pa lamang ay ilaglag na si Ping Lacson sa mahigpit na pagkakahawak nito sa kaniyang saya.

SOMA: Suppose Our Media Agrees with GLORIA

Nothing could go wrong when one thinks outside the box and tries settling its own evasive affairs, like how the media make use of exploring controversies in order to make money. The negative write-ups on the current administration are hypothetically thrice the magnitude of Gloria’s claimed fandom in her ascendancy through Edsa Dos in 2001. Her administration who gagged-down a multi-million plunderer out of Malacañang is now being held at question by the very forces of the convicted-president Erap Estrada. It is bothersome how the public welcomes Erap who was neither regretful of his erring actions in 2000 nor conciliatory with the very administration that pardoned him for good. Thanks to what we could attest as “media-led distortion of accepted morals”, Erap is now our hero and Gloria, our devious archenemy.

The graft charges on GLORIA never hold ground. They were either lacking substance or worst politically motivated basing on the actions of its renowned whistleblowers who by now are testing the political waters for the nearing 2010. Compared with Erap, his plunder charges were proven factual and thereby contemptuous. During his term, the peso reached its intolerable dollar exchanges while oil prices skyrocketed. In fact, it was in Estradas’ term when peso struck its lowest buying ability in the international market. An open offensive with both the secessionist and Communist groups in the country also took a spin in the country’s stability and even destabilize the state’s budget. Erap was a sham president that People Power ousted from the presidency.

But with the kind of media ass-kissing Erap is getting, his supposed “negative pull” to the masses decreased in unexplainable heights. This same media mileage and even “grooming” led him to believe that Juan dela Cruz are naïve and stupid enough to welcome him in the presidential seat by 2010. The plunderer Erap was even remolded into a tempting delicacy for the 2010 elections; which is why, bunch of his enemies before side with him now. Like for example, the rightist moralists led by Bayan Muna Teddy Casiño and Satur Ocampo who spearheaded the Erap Resign Movement in 2001. In April of this year, both Casiño and Ocampo declared an open-alliance with the Estradas and his comrades in the political Opposition. This, by far, should have been a well-celebrated case of politicking at its “best” but the media made it look like a “decent” or worth accepting trend.

There was nothing in Gloria’s SONA that I myself had not experienced nor witnessed in front row seats. She was right with the fact that political stunts and backbiting among the Genuine Opposition was her deadliest opponent. Their accusations were cowardly done. Taking these Gloria plunder charges into public trials other than filing it in the proper courts should have been exploited by the media. However, this was ridden-on by the press to simply write stories that sell that contains nothing less than rumors or gossips.

Come to think of it, if Erap was in the seat of power as we while down the whirlwind of global recession, most would now be starving to death. The way the peso was dragging in Erap’s term; there is no denying that Juan dela Cruz would not have had the ability to feed himself a decent meal.
