Hacienda Luisita at iba pa

Hacienda Luisita at iba pa

Na heheadline nanaman sa showbiz news ang kapatid na bunso ni Sen. NoyNoy.

Kinukwestyun ng mga obrero ng Hacienda Luisita ang patuloy na pag suot ni Kris Aquino ng designer clothes at mamahaling alahas sa kanyang programa sa telebisyon. Nanghihinagpis ang mga magsasaka, kasi’y kakarampot na P9.50 kada araw lamang ang kanilang suweldo sa loob ng Hacienda.

ALAM KAYA ITO NG DOLE?

Ipinahayag ito ng mga magsasaka nang magtipun tipun sa harap ng Hacienda Luisita sa pagsisimula ng national caravan na may temang “LAKBAYAN NG ANAKPAWIS PARA SA LUPA AT KATARUNGAN” bago dumiretso sa Manila nang naglalakad lamang.

Nakakapag takang ayaw isailalim ng batas agraryo ang buong Hacienda Luisita at impamahagi ng libre ang napakalaking lupa nito.

Isa sanang magandang pagkakataon ito upang mapanatili ni Sen. NoyNoy ang kanyang popularidad.

Ang tanong kaya kaya nyang idesisyon na IBIGAY na lang sa mga obrero ang tigang na lupa?

Ang masakit nagging saksi rin ang mismong Hacienda sa pag masakaer ng 13 MARTIR na magsasakang napatay sa WELGANG isinagawa noong Nobyembre 16, 2004. MANANATILING MULTO ANG ISYU HABANG PANAHON.

Tuwing mapapanood ng mga taga hacienda ang magagarang damit at alahas ni Kris Aquino naalala nila ang “KATAS NG TUBO SA LOOB NG HACIENDA”

Ang masakit dahil nuwebe pesos lang ang suweldo nila sa Hacienda kailangan nila ang dalawang araw na trabaho bago makabili ng isang kilo ng bigas.

Pero hinde na sila mag uulam, sabaw nalang ng nilagang malungay.

And they say IT’S NOT POLITICAL

And they say IT’S NOT POLITICAL

(These statements were uttered during hearings against Manny Villar, they claim there is no personal political angle against Villar)

Senator Jamby Mamdrigal: I WILL DO ANYTHING PARA LANG ”HINDE MANALO SI VILLAR!”

Senator Jingoy Estrada: MANNY VILLAR IS COPYING THE CAMPAIGN OF MY DAD! I WILL NOT ALLOW IT!

Senator KiKo Pangilinan: Voting against Villar is the decision of the Liberal Party, not mine.

And they say its not Political… yes they say its not Politcal.. so I sing this song to all of my friends that these are the statements you’ve got to hear. For in this place that we call senate we are the ones being fooled. We are being fooled!!!!

Pls do not buy the bullcrap of these Senators! They just want Manny Villar out of the race for personal reasons. Para samin mga mahihirap at nangangarap si Manny Villa ang mapagkakatiwalaan! VILLAR 2010 ALL THE WAY!

Dear Mr. NoyNoy

Dear Mr. NoyNoy,

Ako po ay isang Filipinong nangangarap, paudlot udlot po ang aking pagaaral dahil wala po kami sapat na pera. Naranasan nyo po ba yun? Wala po maayos na bubong ang aming bahay, kapag umuulan madalas nababasa kami at nagdadasal nalang na tumila nalang ang ulan. Naranasan nyo po ba yun? Ang almusal namin ay camatis at tinapay, pinag hahati-hatian pa namin ng tatlo ko na kapatid. Naranasan nyo po ba yun? Si Tatay hinde po makahanap ng magandang trabaho dahil sa sakit nya. Kaya kami ng mga kapatid ko nag tatrabaho par sa amin. Naranasan nyo po ba yun? May mga araw na hinde ko alam kung may bahay pa ba kami na uuwian, kung may pagkain na kakainin, kung mabubuhay pa ba kami. Naranasan nyo po ba yun?

Ang alam ko po, pianganak na kayo na mayaman, may kotse, may magandang bahay at magandang lupa. Ang tanung ko lang po ay panu nyo maiintindihan ang kalagayan naming mahihirap? At kung hinde nyo po kami naiintindihan paano nyo po kami matutulungan? Sa palagay ko ay hindeng hinde nyo kami maiintindihan dahil hinde nyo dinanas ang mga dinadanas namin. Ang magutom, ang mapagod at ang maghirap.

Sana bago nyo po sabihin na kayo ay lumalaban para sa aming mahihirap, tanungin nyo po ang sarili nyo kung kilala nyo ba talaga kaming mahihirap.

Nag mamahal,

Dalawangput walong mahihirap na Filipino

Lord of the FOOLS!

Only fools will vote for NoyNoy! wag tayo mag pa uto sa kabalbalan nya! si NoyNoy ang SALOT!

The difference between NoyNoy and Villar

The difference between NoyNoy and Villar

- A Poem by Wonder Pinoy


NoyNoy was born with a silver spoon

Villar was born and ate without a spoon

NoyNoy was driving a car around the street at the age of 12

Villar was selling food around the street at the age of 12

NoyNoy enjoyed life without work while in college

Villar had to work, to be in college

NoyNoy enjoyed living like a prince

Villar enjoyed making a living by selling fish

NoyNoy inherited productive lands from his Parents

Villar inherited productive hands from his Parents

NoyNoy doesn’t have to work hard because of his surname

Villar is working hard because he has no surname

NoyNoy is the son of an amazing hero

Villar is an amazing hero!

NoyNoy, No Policy, No Forum

I saw the ANC Presidential Policy Forum, January 14, 2009.
At my first glance I saw the candidates. Senator Manny Villar, Senator Dick Gordon and former Defense Secretary Gibo Teodoro.

Then I asked myself. “hmmmmm.. Someone is missing...AH! Senator NoyNoy!”
How come he isn’t here? I asked myself. He never missed a forum before since declaring his candidacy.

Then I checked the program for the forum. After the introduction, candidates will be asked with regards to the following topics.

Maguindanao massacre Challenger of peace in the south
Foreign relations and international security
Economy and the international economic relations
Competitiveness in the world

That’s when my question was answered. Sen. NoyNoy cannot afford to attend a forum like this. Why? If he was asked about the Maguindanao massacre how is he to answer? (In an honest way, after all he claims to be a very honest boy)

Imagine this, had NoyNoy attended the forum

Ricky Carandang: Sen. NoyNoy what can you say about the Maguindanao massacre?

Sen. NoyNoy: Well, I think it’s unfair! Unfair that the criminals for this are going to jail. While those who committed the Hacienda Luisita massacre of 2004 are still at large! Heck! I’m even running for president! So unfair!!

Ricky Carandang: Sen. NoyNoy how are you to deal with foreign relations?

Sen. NoyNoy: that’s easy! I’ll make sure the Chinese and other foreigners take over our lands and businesses. After all that’s what my Mommy did. And look at how prosperous we are now.

Ricky Carandang: Sen. NoyNoy, what’s your international policy for economic relations?

Sen. NoyNoy: I’m going to take my Sister’s advice on that. I’ll fix my relationship with my girlfriends first before I fix any economic relations.

Ricky Carandang: How can you stay competitive with the other world leaders?

Sen. NoyNoy: That’s a hard one. (“Butch are you there? Can u hear me?”) uhmmmm I think I dont know. I’ve never been competitive with anything my whole life kasi. I’m a spoiled only son. If I want something I don’t have to compete for it. I just have to ask Mommy to get it for me. I always ask my Mommy to help me get what I want. Like the presidency. Even though everybody knows I don’t deserve it.


There you go. Those would have been his answers. No wonder the Liberal Party had to say “no” to this forum. Well I say: No Platform, No Policy, No Forum, No NoyNoy!!

Welcome to the party of puppeteers!

If you want a Candidate being manipulated by recycled Politicians, NoyNoy Aquino is your guy.

5 reasons why NoyNoy Aquino is the Liberal Party’s Presidential bet

5. Mar Roxas was scoring low ratings, “step away Roxas.. You’re not that popular.. oh sorry for the millions of pesos you’ve already spent on your campaign”

4. He’s family owns a favour from a TV Station. Which means the Liberal Party can get help from the network’s media for his campaign. NNN!!! NoyNoy Now Na..!!!

3. He is the Son of Ninoy Aquino. Be reminded though, NoyNoy isn’t god, meaning the father and the son are not one.

2. He is the Son of Cory Aquino. The only thing NoyNoy can be proud of is his last name. Not his accomplishments (cause there isn’t any), not his track record (what track record?) and definitely not his character. (If only he can inherit character the way he inherited Hacienda Luisita)

1. The liberal party wants someone they can easily manipulate. Welcome to the party of puppeteers!

Noynoy: Running on empty?

Noynoy: Running on empty?

From Noynoy Aquino, speaking about his accomplishments prior to seeking the presidency, we learn that he was instrumental in the success of the Nike brand in the Philippines. And all along, I thought that was something that basketball superstar Michael Jordan laid claim to.

At the first clear sign showing that his closest rival in the presidential race is gaining on him, Aquino hits the panic button. During a debate over the weekend after the Social Weather Stations polling outfit showed that his once-humongous survey lead over Manny Villar had narrowed to 11 percentage points, Aquino suddenly started slamming surveys in general.

Some surveys, he commented during a debate with Villar and Dick Gordon at the Dela Salle Zobel school in Alabang, can be purchased in Quiapo. With that one snarky remark relegating public-opinion polls to the level of pirated DVDs and homemade abortion recipes, the only son of Ninoy and Cory seemed to reveal a lot about how he would handle pressure and adversity, something that not a lot of us had any idea of heretofore.

Indeed, if the latest SWS survey indicated anything, it’s the obvious fact that Aquino had better start riding on the coattails of his illustrious dead parents less and begin showing us who he really is more. And what we’ve seen so far, we can’t say that we really like.

Speaking of the latest SWS poll, it’s interesting to note that one of its findings was that Aquino’s running mate Mar Roxas has widened his lead over Villar’s partner, Loren Legarda, even while Noynoy’s advantage over Manny dramatically dwindled. Roxas made the usual modest remarks about this development and did not even hint at the survey’s provenance anywhere near the Quiapo Church.

Roxas, to his credit, seems to have a better ability of rolling with the political punches. He’s trailed Legarda in previous polls and even had to slide down to the number two spot mostly against his will—but Mar never openly expressed his bitterness or frustration at the occasional low points that his political career (like every politician’s) goes through.

Not so Aquino, who followed up on his inexplicable attack on opinion surveys by detailing his own accomplishments, such as they are, including his aforementioned role in developing the Nike brand. Apparently stung by charges that his own (as opposed to his parents’ or even sister Kris’) resume is distinguished by a serious lack of experience in anything other than occupying his hometown’s congressional seat for nine years and spending three years so far in the Senate, Aquino proclaimed that, according one one obviously overawed newspaper report about Noynoy’s “experience in the private sector,” he was “a member of the team that helped Nike become popular in the country in the mid-1980s.”

Doing what, exactly? Well, from 1985 to 1986, Noynoy Aquino was retail sales supervisor and youth promotions assistant for Nike Philippines and later an assistant for advertising and promotion for Mondragon Philippines, which once held exclusive distributorship rights to the Nike brand.

For those who may find the name Mondragon familiar, that company was owned by flamboyant businessman and Ninoy-Cory supporter Jose Antonio “Speedy” Gonzalez. Upon Cory’s assumption to the presidency in 1986, Gonzalez was rewarded with the post of tourism secretary—and a scant two months later, was one of the principals in what former columnist Hilarion Henares called “the first post-Edsa scam,” the hush-hush sale at a bargain-basement price of high-value Philippine government property at 212 Stockton Street in San Francisco, hard by Union Square.

The Stockton property sale was investigated by the Senate blue ribbon committee shortly after Congress was reinstated, with as much fanfare and official hand-wringing that attend such probes conducted today. But while both Gonzalez and then-GSIS president Feliciano Belmonte Jr. were pilloried for it in the Senate and in the press, none of the dirt ever went up to President Cory Aquino—even if her son was employed by Gonzalez at the time.

Aquino’s short stint in a company not owned by his family—but owned by a close family friend—hardly qualifies as “experience in the private sector,” no matter how glowingly that is spun. But, for those who have swallowed the Noynoy myth without questioning, that period of accepting paychecks not signed by relatives or officials of the Philippine government must now rank up there with Manny Pacquiao’s use of those funky, bright-red lace-up boxing shoes as Nike’s first and only Filipino international product endorser.

Noynoy will have to do better than that in the days ahead, if he doesn’t want to see his lead in the surveys fritter away to truly panic-inducing margins as the afterglow of his mother’s death becomes more and more of a distant memory. His bumbling attempts at explaining his dwindling lead in the polls (by belittling surveys in general) and at burnishing his achievement-challenged resume (now that he realizes that he has to declare himself as something more than the least-accomplished of the Aquinos in public life) just leave most people, in a word, underwhelmed.

It may well be that Aquino himself has never been liked to any official indiscretion, as his boosters keep drumming into our heads. But at the moment, more and more people are starting to believe that that’s simply because he hasn’t really done anything yet.

Perhaps if SWS stuck to traditional opinion polling more often, it would actually serve its purpose as an accurate indicator of the shifting winds of public opinion at any given point in time. For instance, by not employing its controversial “pick-three” method of choosing presidential candidates, the SM of survey companies was probably able to function as a more accurate weather vane for the popular sentiment.

Several times in this space, I have taken SWS to task for its practice of asking respondents to choose three candidates that they would likely vote for, even if voters really get to choose only one in an actual voting booth. And by not assigning descending weights to each of the three choices made by its respondents, SWS only succeeds in muddling the picture some more for people who want to make sense of what the public pulse is.

Let’s just hope that, like in its last survey, SWS sticks to more established polling methods for candidates instead of using confusing and often statistically-skewed systems like its “pick-three” polling. That way, they’ll enlighten people more—and lay themselves less open to the charge that they’re merely dreaming up their data in the shadow of the Black Nazarene’s basilica.

I had previous reservations about Manny Villar. I thought that he's running for the presidency out of sheer madness. Yep. Imagine, you own several properties. You're a certified billionaire already. You got the top plums in the legislature already. What more can you ask for?

Why waste 5 billion pesos just to get elected? Is the presidency worth that much?

For someone like Villar, who came from the ranks of the proletariat, being president is a childhood dream. Several decades ago, most kids in Metro Manila dream of either being a doctor, an astronaut, or...being president someday. Even someone as dirt poor as I was, I once dreamt of being an astronaut or at best, the President of the Republic of the Philippines.

Of course, I did not get to be an astronaut nor the president of this country but I am proud to say that, I got more than what I bargained for---I became a journalist and a teacher.

For Villar, being president is more than any other vocation. Its a mission. A mission to spread his message that anything is possible. That someone as poor as he was before can actually become a billionaire and probably even president someday.

That for me is a better proposition than Noynoy's, who just want to continue a legacy which we are not even aware of today.

And when Villar says that every Filipino can rise above poverty, he is talking from experience. Villar is an incurable optimist and we need someone like him to give us at least some hope that our future, and the future of our children will be as bright as his.

Villar also has the character and the strength of a Leader. Who, in his right mind, would actually get opposing groups together in one political party? Two decades ago, it was unimaginable for a member of the Leftist movement to be seen with a member of the Marcos family. Now, Satur Ocampo, a victim of oppression during the Marcos times, shares the same stage as that of Bongbong Marcos, the son of the dictator. It takes a great Leader to do just that.

And of course, Villar's platform of government deserves our support. It is a very clear platform of government that prescribes real solutions to real problems. Compared with Noynoy's platform, Manny Villar's program of government provides effective solutions.

Now, what is just disturbing is the fact that Manny Villar associated himself with known traditional politicians. He needs to resolve that. And he must assure the public that he will not be swayed by their sweet talk and their billion peso offers.

Barring any major hurdles, Manny Villar will be able to eclipse Noynoy in the polls but the question really is--will he be sworn in as president? Will civil society allow Villar to realize his childhood dream to become president of this country?

Ask yourself, how well do you know him ? His advocacies ? What issues are he passionate about ? Like me, I suspect that most people would draw a blank when asked about Noynoy Aquino, apart from the fact that he is the only son of Ninoy and Cory Aquino.

Noynoy himself, and his handlers, have not been shy about playing the Ninoy-Cory card. Says Liberal Party 2010 campaign manager Florencio "Butch" Abad: "Senator Aquino will not turn his back on the legacy of his parents". In a press conference prior to his going on a weekend retreat do seek divine guidance for his political plans, Noynoy said "yes" when asked if he would carry on the fight started by his parents. What this "fight" is all about in concrete terms, he does not say although he can be rather smug about his legacy. Says he: "We enjoy popular support all these years because we reflect the interest of freedom-loving Filipinos."

But if his main selling point is his parentage, wouldn't we be better off with Kris Aquino, who is undoubtedly more popular and has lived a more drama-filled life than her bland and balding brother ? It would certainly make for a more interesting campaign, at the very least.

To be sure, Noynoy can come up with the usual sound bites, throwing around time-worn phrases like "we are all in this together" and calling for "sacrifice". But behind all these motherhood statements is a cardboard man totally lacking in substance. Worse, he may not be above resorting to cheap political gimmickry ( as alleged by Malacanang but for once I agree with Gary Olivar on this). In Noynoy's case case, following to the letter a Cory template successfully utilized during the 1986 snap elections. As pointed out by Dr. Winnie Monsod, no friend of this blighted administration:

It was clear to everyone that Noynoy wanted to make the run for the presidency. So why the announcement that Aquino was to go on retreat to help him decide on whether he should make that run?

If the decision is already made—and it must have been—the retreat has to be for the purpose of asking God's blessing on his candidacy—so why not just so state?

Is it because Noynoy's handlers want to milk the Cory magic and show that Noynoy is doing the same thing that Cory did—and not only that—but also time his "decision" to be made on the 40th day after Cory's death? If that is the case, shame on them all. Because that not only reflects the cynicism of the ultimate, exploitative "trapo," it is also a disservice to Cory's memory, and all that she stood for, as well. Cory was truly a reluctant candidate, and she agonized and prayed before finally accepting the mantle. What is more, there was not a single, insincere, manipulative bone in her body.

Anyone who wants to assume the mantle of leadership and selflessness similar to that of Ninoy and Cory better make sure that it is deserved, and earned. It is not something that can be claimed merely because the same blood runs in one's veins. Rather, it is a matter of character.

I believe we have to reserve judgment on Noynoy until he can flesh out a program of government which would meet our people's aspirations for honest and just governance. And show us that there is something behind that pleasant demeanor other than tired platitudes and promises. As Tony Meloto reminds us yet again, it is our national tragedy that we are "always looking for somebody to pin all our hopes on and also to blame when these hopes are not realized." We would be doing ourselves and Noynoy a favor if we do not prematurely hoist upon him the burden of being our savior.

Is honesty the most important trait we need to see in our candidates especially those for the presidency? Noynoy Aquino's supporters think so. If they are to be believed, honesty will not only ensure good governance it will also solve unemployment, illiteracy, insurgency, crime, poverty and possibly even baldness. Of course I'm kidding. Honesty can't solve our country's problem with criminality.

Seriously, such is the power of the Yellow Fever and the Cory magic — they have a way of screwing up your logical mind. You think I'm exaggerating? Check out these samples taken from the Noynoy gushfest over the internet.

• Noynoy offers us hope. We may be disappointed again in the future, maybe not. But we see hope and we cling to that hope. We do not see that at all in ALL other candidateshe is the only who has the integrity, honesty and character for the job.
• given Noynoy's 'non-record', there is HOPE. Some may call it FAITH, whatever you may call it, the 60% of the people THINK it is better than what the others lay on the table. Honestly, I'd rather gamble on Noynoy than the proven records of the rest.
• My biggest reason for backing Noynoy and Mar is their honesty.

As you can plainly see the authors of these comments would like us to believe that Noynoy is an honest person. Now I'm just wondering how they arrived at that conclusion. I'm guessing they did so by simple deduction. Most likely they figured that since Noynoy's name has never been dragged into any corruption scandal he must be clean. Fair enough. I must admit that kind of reasoning is a little hard to dispute but since I'm feeling a little adventurous today I'll give it a try.

First of all I'd like to say that Noynoy is not necessarily an honest man even if he has not been implicated in any scandalous affair involving public funds. Notice that I said 'has not been implicated' not 'is not implicated' or 'will not be implicated.' I'm making an issue out of that distinction because if you really think hard about it Noynoy's clean record merely indicates that he has not been accused of any corruption, yet. That's just what it means. To say that it's an indication of honesty is a bit of a stretch. Fact is if we follow that faulty reasoning then we can safely say that the moment Noynoy gets accused of something he ceases to be 'honest.' The absence of one thing (accusations of corruption) does not necessarily establish the presence of another (honesty).

I have to hand it to Noynoy's handlers. Aside from establishing Noynoy's ownership of the 'honesty' brand, they also appear to have succeeded in positioning Noynoy as the solution to corruption.

• Noynoy = Honesty = Anti-Corruption.

Of course there's an even bigger equation at play here, which certainly works to the advantage of Noynoy and any other opposition candidate. It is this:

• Corruption = President Gloria Arroyo.

Considering the above mentioned equations we arrive at this:

• Noynoy = Anti-PGMA

And that my friends is how Noynoy is perceived by his supporters. Obviously, Noynoy's handlers want to make sure their candidate will have the best chance of winning and at this point in time the anti-PGMA angle seems to be all that's working for them.

While I can acknowledge the marketing wisdom here, I'm still of the opinion that an anti-PGMA stance is not enough. So, am I saying that being anti-PGMA is wrong? Of course not. Nor am I saying that we shouldn't vote for Noynoy because he is against PGMA. What I'm saying is we shouldn't vote for Noynoy or any other candidate who has nothing to offer but an anti-PGMA stance.

I hope you're not thinking I am not against corruption. For your information, like many others I also believe corruption is one of our biggest problems. As a matter of fact some of my earliest posts in this blog were about corruption and my ideas as to how it can be addressed. You can verify this here and here.

Like all the Noynoy supporters out there, I also don't care much for PGMA. I would also like to see her out of Malacanang. The only difference is I prefer that she be replaced by someone who has already demonstrated a real desire and ability to do much better. I don't care if that person has any connection, whether imagined or real, to PGMA. What's the problem if the next president is connected to PGMA anyway? Oh I forgot, a PGMA ally can make sure she won't have to spend a single day in court after she steps down. Talk about conspiracies.

Anti-PGMA candidates like Senator Chiz Escudero would like us to believe that PGMA's prosecution is the most important event that should happen after the 2010 elections. For me, it is not. The next president should not even be pressured to focus all his/her energy on this particular issue. That should not be the main thrust of the next president as there are much bigger issues that need attention foremost of which is the economy.

Just like Escudero, Noynoy is running on nothing but an Anti-PGMA platform. No, make that an Anti-PGMA slogan. But unlike Escudero, who in all fairness has been fairly consistent in inflaming people's passions with his oppositionist pandering, Noynoy doesn't fully commit to this anti-PGMA branding. Noynoy is simply vague about this and pretty much everything.

Well, there's really much to be said about a candidate who chooses to be vague or silent about what he really stands for and plans to do for the country. From the time he was thrust into the limelight following the death of his mother, former president Cory Aquino, Noynoy has shown nothing but qualities that hardly qualify him as a leader but certainly make him popular with people who refuse to see beyond dramatic devices. For one he has been milking the "I'm not sure I'm the one but with the people's support I can be" line for all it's worth. Dear reader, Noynoy is just playing to your emotions. Don't be fooled.

At the end of the day, what we're really talking about here is the country's future not some telenovela. With that in mind please know that what this country needs is a leader who has real plans and the right skill set to carry them out. If you want to see an end to corruption, hunger, poverty, crime, and everything else that ails the country, demand real solutions from Noynoy and all the other candidates. Let's base our analysis of the candidates on their ideas and not their campaign slogans and gimmicks.

In Noynoy's case, all this hoopla around his being honest is just a gimmick.

Saw Orange Noynoy

Character, says Heraclitus, is fate. Character might also be manifest in the physical. Did you ever notice how Sen. Noynoy Aquino walks? He slouches, he droops, flails his arms like jerky pendulums, and with bow legs that seem to move to opposite directions. It is the kind of gait not conventionally associated with strength, pride, and leadership. More like Shaggy of Scooby Doo.
I should be the last person in the world to speak about posture, but compare that to his father's gait. I would think twice about voting for someone who seems to allow himself to be verbally bullied around and humiliated by his youngest sister.
The youngest sister, for whom no barrier exists between the public's right to know and her private life, including her baby's toilet habits. The youngest sister, who has mastered the fine verbal art of too-much-information, her cerebral cortex directly connected to her mouth. The youngest sister, who if we go by her own words, should be the one running for president. After all she herself announced that she was "a young Ninoy" and her mother's favorite—at a time when the entire nation was in the thralls of grief. Unfortunately (or fortunately), she has several more years to go before she turns 40, the minimum age to run. But what she lacks in qualification for candidacy, she makes up for in candor. Excessive amounts of it.
The youngest sister, whose patent tactlessness has now become a recognized part of Philippine daily life. Our lives would be empty without hearing her say something that sounds like nails across a blackboard. The scary part about her is how media seems to have a disturbing dependence on her every opinion when it comes to any subject that involves the "Aquino" name. Rioting farmers shot to death at Hacienda Luisita? Interview Kris. Stock market crashed? Malacanang razed to the ground? Three passenger planes collide? Interview Kris. And she'll even tell you about the Starbucks machiatto she drank. She's like a car accident on SLEX—it's horrible but you can't look away.
People will say it’s about time to treat the presidency with seriousness and solemnity. The reasoning that our brand of democracy never goes anywhere is this: if we can make fun of the head of state, the occupant of the highest seat of power, then what’s sacred anymore? In the senator’s case, he no longer needs an image-demolition team from opponents—with a sister with brains in her mouth.
Noynoy isn’t even president but instead of platforms and agenda for change, all his youngest sister can ever talk about is his receding hairline, his awful pleated pants, and how she’s consulting with comedian and wig-store owner Arnell Ignacio about matters follicular. I can very well understand this concern about hair, as well as the mad scampering for designers and stylists. Only shallow people do not judge by first impressions, Oscar Wilde reminds us. What would be infinitely more humiliating, however, is this: when the entire world knows about your tragically receded hairline, and all of a sudden you appear on TV with a Koreanovela star’s full head of hair.
“The idea of fashion,” writes the semiologist Roland Barthes, “is antipathetic to the idea of sainthood.” That last word is the very foundation of this whole Noynoy-for-president business in the first place. For the youngest sister to mindlessly open her mouth is to piss on the mythology.
But maybe we just have to resign ourselves to this fact: it’s Kris Aquino’s world—we and Kuya Noynoy just live in it.
His mother hated unsolicited advice, but we can’t help but give to kuya the following suggestions should he become the second President Aquino.
- Never again let youngest sister get away with indirectly insulting girlfriend Shalani Soledad by insisting a lifetime of bachelorhood. Do get married soon, and do let condescending youngest sister pay for wedding.
- Issue presidential decree: youngest sister should never, ever call him by that irritatingly sing-songy one-syllable name: “Nwwooooooy.”
- Issue gag order on youngest sister—on whatever subject. Especially that schtick about her being a young Ninoy and her mother’s favorite. Before she completely smears family name.
- Exile youngest sister to obscure African country (preferrably one with a protractedly bloody civil strife) if she does not shut up.
- On second thought: just banish youngest sister, given her propensity for periodic involvements in truly embarrassing scandals.
- Impose severe penalties on any media outfit that would glorify every trivial detail of youngest sister’s life.
- Order immediate refurbishment of Club Filipino, which has become quite old and cramped. If you’re going to make history, might as well change the tacky chandeliers. A repainting job for Kalayaan Hall is in order. It’s become too dank and sad. Look at what the LP did during Noynoy’s September 9 announcement: they rightly covered the damn place in screaming bright yellow.
- Should Mar Roxas agree to be his running mate, by all means, avoid, like what his mother did to Doy Laurel, calling his vice president “bangaw.” That would be the height of ingratitude.
- Always keep in mind: if those National Bookstore postcards are to be believed, the Philippines has never had a bald president.

What this country needs is a President with enough experience and know-how. The challenges we face are daunting.

Certainly, anybody who claims he is "clean" is not good enough.

As I have been saying all along, the presidency is not a training ground for someone whose only qualification is that he is the son of famous parents.

Integrity is not enough. Our problems are too enormous and we need the leadership of somebody with experience and expertise.

orange noynoy

Hopefully this coming election, people won’t be persuaded by all the celebrities endorsing NoyNoy. I don't like any of of these celebrities anyway - they are the ones who irritate me the most. HEHEH...If Noynoy is really pro Pinoy, or pro-poor he should include Hacienda Luisita in the CARP.

Did Noynoy just turn the other way when men barely out of their teens were being shot at outside the Hacienda Luisita compound?
Noynoy’s demeanor as the Cojuanco family spokesman during the Hacienda Luisita standoff should be scrutinized. Blaming the strikers for the violence and not the company union or his family, here’s what Rep. Noynoy Aquino said in the third week of November, 2004 in response to the deaths of five hacienda workers ages 20-34:
Noynoy Aquino said:
We condemn the violence that happened but condemnation should be directed to the right party.(END)
Noynoy was condeming everyone else but the Cojuangco family, owners of Hacienda Luisita.
Blaming others for the standoff, Noynoy futher said the striking workers make up just a fraction of hacienda workers. He said 400 of the 736 strikers had climbed the walls of the mill to report for work in compliance with the labor department’s order suggesting that those who died were mere agitators.
Noynoy was Hacienda Luisita’s spokesman and the face of the land-owning family during this disturbing period which saw at least 8 farmers dead and many others wounded.
In the congressional investigation that followed the incident (Noynoy was Deputy Speaker then) someone testified that some of Noynoy’s men fired at the farmers.
These statements and incidents were reported in November-December 2004. Just scour the internet. They are not new and written just for these elections. They pose serious questions about Noynoy’s landlord-like hacendero character at the time, in addition to the fact that in 9 years in Congress he did nothing by way of substantive legislation to help workers, farmers and the poor.[/quote]

Orange NoyNoy The best reason not to vote for Noynoy Aquino

Why I will not vote for Noynoy Aquino?

It is not because he is from Liberal Party. (for the record I voted for Jovy Salonga when he run for president under the Liberal party, even if I am certain that he will not win, because I think he is the most qualified candidate then);

It is not because he represents the perpetuation of political dynasty, that even the less qualified runs because they have the political capital and the name recall to capitalize on, (because I also voted for Tanada );

It is not because he is the epitome of traditional politics, even when they are mouthing change, for the real alternative politics is offered not by the dominant party, (but by the likes of Nicanor Perlas or Ang Kapatiran)

It is not because I abhore those people that surrounds him like Abad and Drilon who have their share of power with past and present administrations but have done so little to improve the lives of their people (even in Batanes or Iloilo, puro lang tikal waay man nahimo), because I still hope with the likes of Acosta.

It is not because he is the personification of another elite proclaiming to continue the fight for the poor, because Noynoy is a full blown elite, blue and blue; because I think Mar Roxas even if he is as elite as Noynoy, still evokes positive vibes.

My reasons are not so complicated. I think Noynoy will not stand a chance against manipulators that surrounds him. His honesty will be no match to the flatterers and whisperers, whose only interest are to collar big contracts from the government.

His utterances with regards to the structure and system of government, is not even motherhood statements eloquently articulated. I believe that base on the personality that advices him, the Philippines will have the same banana if ever by mistake he becomes the next president of this belleguered country.

My reasons are simple. I do not want another Cory in the making. I do not want a repeat of the Josip Istrada mestik.

One of my reasons; I want a candidate that would offer a new chance base on a fresh ideas, not base on criticism about the failure of other people. Every administration have been pictured as the evil and criticism is no longer contributing a bit to national progress.

I am looking for real leaders and good managers. And Noynoy don’t exhibit the leadership traits that I am looking for, and he have nothing to show of with regards to management skills.

My reasons are simple. There are two other candidates who have the better qualification in Teodoro and Villar, then why should I settle for the less qualified candidate?

Orange Senator Noynoy Aquino

I’ve written so many negative and harsh articles on almost all of the Presidentiables. Most of the time, people cheer on especially if the issue is a big one. I noticed one thing though people tend to have blind faith when it comes to Senator Noynoy Aquino. It’s as if he’s made a cult out of his supporters and they rush to defend him blindly as if he’s some sort of appointed savior. Allow me to just categorically say that I find this behavior frustrating, inept, and just plain stupid.

I wrote an article recently about how Noynoy Aquino has to answer the questions being raised against him, especially with the surfacing of old news clips of him defending the dispersement of the farmers in Hacienda Luisita, which eventually resulted into a bloody massacre. Some people screamed that it was black propaganda. They put more weight on the blogger writing negatively about Noynoy than the content of the actual post.

Let me just set the record straight. Noynoy Aquino is riding on a campaign of integrity and character. He keeps on saying that this election is a battle between the “good” and the “evil” (therefore saying that he’s good and everyone else is bad). If that’s the case, then all the more reason for him to answer these issues. The Hacienda massacre is no joke. We’re talking about people dying and getting shot at. It’s about children losing their parents and vice-versa. If someone who claims to be a person of integrity and character defends that, then our value system must be totally screwed up. The more his campaign harps on how his campaign is a moral one, then the need for him to resolve this grows as well.

Black propaganda becomes black when the material being passed around has no substance and truth. What makes the recent issue credible and NOT plain propaganda is that fact that it is supported by news clippings. If you’re the type that just dismisses stuff like this and would jump in and rabidly defend Noynoy, then it’s about time that you get inducted to the “Cult of Noynoy”. Now that you’re part of the cult, go out and buy the official Cory watch. Stop using your Nokia and get one of those Cory phones. Oh, let’s not forget the black shirt with the yellow Pilipinas map design (which Bench ripped off from Collezione). Go ahead and tie a yellow ribbon on your car too.

I’ve already received word that one of my friends has photocopies of the actual clippings which was used in the video. I’ll read through the entire material and write a follow-up entry. I am hoping that the Noynoy blogger event will finally push through in January so that we can get answers directly from the horse’s mouth.

To end, let me just say that if you really want to help this country, then don’t be stupid and defend your candidate like a faithful guard dog. Ask questions, challenge the campaign staff, and push him/her to take action. Don’t forget that more than a supporter of Noynoy, you are also a Filipino and I don’t think nationalism entails blind whole-hearted trust to your candidate of choice. Put that passion and energy into actual things that can help the country and maybe then you can make a real difference.

orange Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III

Track record

When Aquino’s turn to respond to certain issues came up, he managed to counterattack.

“Let’s all see our track records if what we’re saying jibes with what we do,” he said, adding that this was his answer to the question of being ampaw (hollow).

He also said it was “easy” to mouth “motherhood statements” and promise “beautiful things” but doubtful that these could be fulfilled by his rivals if they were elected president.

Aquino cited the recently passed P1.4-trillion national budget.

He said that during the deliberations, his “stomach ached and blood pressure shot up because of the attitude” of department secretaries who insisted on funding for their pet programs despite the questions raised by senators.

“I was the only one who stood up to [tell them], ‘You’re not doing the right thing,’” Aquino said.

He said he had a 16-point platform of government and a candidacy based on issues, and that voters could check his website for the specifics.

Aquino said he wanted to level the playing field for the business community, improve tax collection efficiency by targeting smugglers, solve the ills in the education sector, particularly erroneous textbooks, lack of classrooms and dismal teacher-to-children ratio, and reform the judicial system.

“The bottom line is ... we can now dream again,” he said.

Fixing one’s town

Joining the fray, Gordon said he was “very proud” of his own track record as mayor of Olongapo City, constitutional convention delegate, administrator of Subic Bay, tourism secretary, chair of the Philippine National Red Cross, and senator.

“The record of service is important. Can you really do your job? Before you left your province, have you fixed your town?” Gordon said, referring to Olongapo’s comeback after the damaging eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991, when he was city mayor.

He said that instead of giving up in defeat, he rallied his people to dig themselves out of the disaster and even assisted other towns that were similarly devastated.

He attributed Olongapo’s success to effective governance and volunteerism.

Taking up the attack, Villar said: “I agree with Senator Gordon that in the end, it is what you have done and demonstrated in the past that matters. The poor have never seen managerial competence as basis for electing a president.

“In all these elections, popularity is the sole basis. For decades now, we always use popularity and emotions as basis. It’s about time we used abilities and competence and experience. [Popularity as basis for election] has to stop. Let’s start now!”

How is Tarlac?

Gordon had earlier attacked Aquino at press forums, pointing out that the son of martyred opposition leader Benigno Aquino Jr. and People Power icon Corazon Aquino had never held an executive post.

Gordon had claimed that the Aquino family was given opportunities to make the nation great but “regrettably failed to deliver.”

“How many more chances do you want? What is Noynoy Aquino’s ability in local government? He hasn’t been tested even as a barangay captain. Even in legislature, what law did he craft whose benefits are being felt by the people?” Gordon had said.

He had added that Aquino “had in [his] family a president, a vice president, four senators, congressmen, governors—all the posts in Tarlac, but how is Tarlac?”

Old vs new faces

A youth leader asked Aquino at the forum how he could be an advocate of change and of the alternative “when the people around you were the same people with Erap (deposed President Joseph Estrada) and GMA (Ms Arroyo).”

Speaking in a mix of English and Filipino, Aquino explained that he was associated with or supported by former Palace officials because of their competence and expertise.

He said it was but normal to align oneself with people “if there are competencies really demonstrated” by them.

Aquino cited the “Hyatt 10,” a group of Cabinet officials who quit their posts in 2005 following the “Hello Garci” wiretapping scandal that suggested massive fraud in the 2004 presidential election:

“For example, the group of Hyatt 10. They have experience already. Should we get new faces ... new graduates to be placed in departments [of government], so that it can be said that we have fresh faces?”

Aquino said “new graduates” needed at least two years to go through the learning curve.

His own platform

“It’s not right to say that a man who was prominent in the past is already sinful. We believe in the Bible. It’s written there that the sins of the father should not be visited upon the children,” he said, eliciting loud applause from the audience composed of high school students, teachers and parents.

While Villar and Gordon took turns sniping at Aquino, Teodoro concentrated on his own platform and his stance on issues.

The former defense secretary seized the opportunity to present his managerial skills and fitness to be president apparently as a way to boost his low survey ratings.

Teodoro was applauded for pledging to simplify government procedures—such as filing income tax returns—for Juan de la Cruz, and promising incentives for public and private employees and officials adhering to law.

While Aquino, his cousin, advocated judicial reform to stop the killing of journalists, Teodoro, a law graduate of Harvard University, advocated crime prevention and solution.

The first needs more police visibility and use of such equipment as CCTV cameras, while the second entails more resources in investigative capabilities to gather admissible evidence, he said.

He added that the certainty of punishment was also required.

“We need change. What kind of change do we want?” Teodoro said, pointing out that change should not be “experimental” so as not to sacrifice basic services expected of any government.

“The Constitution institutionalized the bureaucracy, so that there is permanence of institutions of government ... even if we change political systems. We need a permanent and stable platform so that we can have a successful change,” he said.

Teodoro was again applauded when he said that without a strong foundation, the ship of state would be “adrift like a ship without a rudder, propeller and heading nowhere.”

Impressive

Gordon impressed the audience with his display of speaking skills and deep understanding of society’s ills—past and present.

He said “people must be part of the process of change ... to know where they are heading.”

Villar was applauded for his goal of stamping out poverty.

He said he was spending so much on advertisements to “level the playing field” because he had no siblings in the entertainment industry or an illustrious lineage.

When asked by Enriquez if he would try to recoup his campaign expenses once in office, Villar said: “Wala na po ’yun. You can’t put a price on that—lifting people from poverty.”

The last question thrown at the candidates was if they would promise to return to the same house they were now living in after the six-year term, and if their net worth would not increase dramatically.

As expected, all answered in the affirmative.

orange noynoy

The Issues and Advocacy Center (The CENTER) today took to task Sen. Noynoy Aguino who was quoted yesterday in a public forum at the De La Salle Zobel at Ayala Alabang as saying that pre-poll surveys can be bought in Quiapo stressing that such tactless statements reflect a desperate attempt to arrest an evident reverse pyramid in which his ratings are on a nose dive.

Ed M. Malay, The CENTER director, said the tactless, undiplomatic and imprudent statements made by Noynoy are uncharacteristic of someone aspiring to lead a nation of 94-million people with diverse culture.

The statement also is a sweeping condemnation of the people in Quiapo, Manila and Malay said the residents and those doing business in Quiapo should object to this assertion as it also desecrated the revered and holy Catholic icon Ang Poong Nazareno which is enshrined at the historic Quiapo Church.

Such statements also reflect the seeming lack of emotional balance needed of someone who wants to become president. Anyone seeking the highest position, Malay explained, must have the ability to assess the pieces of information on his table including survey results. And to label surveys not in his favor as incredible and can be bought in Quiapo is not only hypocritical but devoid of a fair and balanced judgment.

Malay said the ratings of Noynoy can be likened to a coin thrown at a funnel that spins around and catches speed as it nears the hole. That maybe is what is happening to Noynoy especially since his campaign is based on rhetoric and lacking in specifics. This is also what happens when campaign strategies are based on accidental events and not on the merit of the candidate because the voters who are slowly maturing are starting to look at who and what the candidates represent.

Noynoy's rating, said Malay, may be going down due to the dissipating interest on the euphoria linked to the death and burial of the late PCCA, persistent doubts on his health and, lack of concrete and substantive career experience as against the other more accomplished candidates including former PJEE.

As Filipino families are a closely-knit unit of society, the status of Noynoy who is unmarried could also be a negative factor that is bringing his ratings down as Filipinos normally associate success with how well-balanced the family life of an individual is.

Malay also criticized the Liberal Party standard bearer for questioning the credibility of surveys conducted by organizations other than the two leading survey firms as he pointed out that the credibility of surveys rests on the one conducting the surveys. "At least we at The CENTER are not related by affinity nor consanguinity to any of the candidates nor were we in the employ of any previous administrations related to a candidate," Malay said. "I may be identified with FVR but the former president is not a candidate nor is he endorsing a candidate, not just yet," added Malay.

This is also the reason why The CENTER is batting for more survey firms and the results must be published side by side as they do in the US and which is part of the Right to Information Law. The Filipino people, according to Malay, must have complete access to information for them to be able to make choose rightly and wisely and surveys is just one of the means that the people can use as a guide when they go to the polls on May 10, 2010. And the people of Quiapo, said Malay, will certainly not forget this unpresidential remark of someone who wants to become president of the land.

Who knows, it may be the people of Quiapo now and if his ratings will still go down, perhaps Noynoy’s campaign strategists will start blaming it on the people of Turtle Islands. (You can also log on to http://www.philpolitics.com)

Orange NoyNoy Aquino

MANILA, Philippines (1st UPDATE) - Senator Manny Villar of the Nacionalista Party has further cut the lead of survey frontrunner Senator Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino in a special survey of Social Weather Stations (SWS) commissioned by the Villar camp after Christmas.

Based on the December 27-28 SWS Special December Survey, Aquino's lead over Villar was down to 11% from 27% in November 4-8 (SWS national commissioned survey), and 22% in December 8-10 (Pulse Asia Pre-Election survey).

A total of 2,100 respondents were asked to choose from a list of presidential candidates who they were likely to vote for president if elections were held on the day the survey was conducted.

In the December 27-28 survey, 44% picked Aquino, while 33% chose Villar.

In the latest survey, Aquino was down 2% from the December 5-10 SWS survey (from 46% to 44%), while Villar was up 6% (from 27% to 33%).

Another significant change was the number of undecided: it fell from 4% in December 5-10 to only 1% in December 27-28.

Former President Joseph Estrada was chosen by 15%, statistically the same as the December 5-10 survey where he got 16%.

Administration candidate Gilbert Teodoro of the Lakas-Kampi got the same level of support as in the December 5-10 survey with 5%.

Brother Eddie Villanueva of Bangon Pilipinas also got the same support as the early December survey with 1%.

The sad TRUTH about NoyNoy Aquino

It was all well known to the public that the present FACEBOOK site of Sen. Noynoy Aquino was previously the site of the late Pres. Cory Aquino, then it was converted as the official site of Sen. Noynoy after he announces his candidacy for President. Is this the type of INTEGRITY that Sen. Aquino has been portraying of?

We all know that some of the other fans on the said facebook site was also the fans of famous Philippine actress Kris Aquino. Some people just doesnt seem to mind and add Noynoy Aquino’s facebook site, just for the sake of adding a popular figure but not necessarily means supporting or voting for him.
Si Ginang Cory Aquino ay naging Presidente ng PILIPINAS. Sa loob ng anim na taon ng kanyang panunungkulan, walang asenso at pagbabago ang bansa bagkus dito nagsimula ang paghihirap ng karaniwang mamamayan. Nawalan ng pag-asa ang bawat tao na makahanap ng regular o permanente na trabaho sa mga companya at ahensya ng gobyerno dahil sa contractualization law.... See More

Labor activists and Bayan Muna group fought during Aquino’s term against the Wage Rationalization Act (Herrera Law) that was passed, and labor-only contractualization law.
It was under AQUINO regime that the Herrera Law was passed. It was also during her time that ‘contractualization’ was institutionalized.

The Herrera Law created the regional wage boards (RWBs) that determine the salary rates of different sectors in the regions. The scheme is criticized for creating disparity in the wage rates between, for instance, industrial centers like the National Capital Region (NCR), and poor provinces like those in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). For example, non-agricultural workers in NCR get a minimum wage of P382 while those in ARMM only receive P210.

Itong batas na ito ay pumapabor sa mga employer at sa mga mayayamang negosyanteng Intsik na kamag-anak ng mga AQUINO. Dito nakilala ang tinaguriang ”kamag-anak incorporated”. KMU expressed that the passage of the Herrera Law was a major blot to her legacy since it led to two things: the creation of the RWBs and the assumption of jurisdiction (AJ) procedure that curtailed workers’ rights to express their grievances.

With the RWBs, it has become more difficult to lobby for wage increase. The AJ as we know, is being resorted to by the labor secretary to prevent workers from expressing their legitimate demands and complaints.

It was also during the Aquino administration that KMU chair Rolando Olalia was murdered by still unidentified perpetrators. “It remains an unsolved crime.” Ito po ba ang tinatawag na trasparency?

Another legacy of AQUINO regime are the massive long hours of brownouts in the METROPOLIS and the No power electricity in the provinces. The numerous number of coup de etat against AQUINO administration because of its failure to address good governance and the no economic progress. The HACIENDA LUISITA victims are uncared and hopeless. It was a long overdued right to own a land by the farmers but wasn’t given utmost priority and attention. The MENDIOLA MASSACRE of poor farmers was left without justice. Ito po ang sinasabi ninyong paglilingkod sa kapwa tao at hindi lamang para sa pansariling interes?

Then here comes the son NOYNOY AQUINO, a Congressman for 9 years and a first time Senator, is wishing to sit down in MALACANANG as PRESIDENT of the PHILIPPINES.
Ang tanong lang po ng mga FILIPINO, ano po ba ang nagawa ninyo bilang isang Congressman at Senador? Di po ba ang trabaho nun ay ang pag-gawa ng batas? Pero bakit po wala kayong naipasa kahit isa lang?

Meron kaya kayong magawa para sa Bayan pag kayo ay nahalal bilang isang Presidente? Di po ba dati wala kayong balak tumakbong pangulo ng PILIPINAS? Kailangan po ba diktahan kayo ng ibang tao para mag disisyon? Bakit nyo po inaangkin ang pangalan ng DIYOS sa inyong pagtakbo? Di po ba kasalanan yun? Talaga po bang honest kayo at totoo na meron kayong tinatawag na “Inability to LIE”? Di po ba kasinungalingan yun? Di po ba hipokrito lang ang nagsasabi nun? Bakit po kayo tumatanggap sa partido Liberal ng mga balembing na TRAPOng kandidato sa election? Nasaan po dito ang pagbabago?

Bakit po kayo pumayag na maging ka tandem si Sen. Mar Roxas? Di ba si Sen. Mar Roxas ay kilala sa kanyang pag-mumura sa harap ng publiko at sa maraming tao? Ito po ba ang tinatawag ninyong MORAL authority? Di po ba si ERAP ay napatunayan at nahatulan dahil sa katiwalian at CORRUPTION? BAKIT po kayo nakikipag alyansa sa kanya? Di po ba si KRIS AQUINO inindorso si Ginang Arroyo? Nasampahan nyo na po ba ng kaso si Ginang Arroyo at nahatulan na po ba at napatunayan na po ba sa husgado sa mga binabatong corruption at scandal? Di po ba meron tayong OMBUDSMAN namamahala para sa mga opisyal na nagkasala? Malapit na po matapos ang termino ni Ginang Arroyo. Nasaan po ang ating mga ebidensya at patunay ng katiwalian? Kung demokrasya po ang naibahagi ni Ginang Cory, kailangan po ba hindi tayo sumunod sa tamang proceso at bagkus ay akusahan na lamang ng pagnanakaw ang sinumang tao na yumaman at nakabili ng malaking bahay?

Bakit po kayo tumatakbo sa pagka-pangulo sa ilalim ng pamamahala ng COMELEC kung wala naman pala kayong tiwala sa pangalan ng ahensya at sa ating DEMOKRASYA? Pag kayo po ay nahalal na pangulo, sasabihin nyo rin po ba, that you dont expect to solve all the problems of the past administration? Ito po ba ang tinatawag naming pag-asa? Ipag paumanhin nyo na po, Senador NOYNOY AQUINO, pero hindi po kami naniniwala sa inyo at sa inyong kakayahang mamuno sa isang bansa.

ISANG MASAKLAP NA KATOTOHANAN PARA SA BAGONG TAON!!!
