TREATY WITH A MURDERER

Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III's campaign Manager Florencio “Butch” Abad had a personal meeting with Senator Panfilo Lacson’s current assistant; a half Italian half Filipino migrant Mr. Jerome Parro in Port Philip, Turin Italy on March 6, 2010. Abad arrived in the city of Turin at 5:07 AM Italian time and took a bus from the city to the metropolis bay. Butch Abad had to call Jerome Parro to know his exact location because it was the first time they would meet face-to-face. Jerome would not verify the precise site of Senator Lacson but confirms that he is indeed in the continent. Jerome also said that Senator Lacson can no longer be recognized as he had a major change of look. The meeting was brief; in return of supporting Noynoy’s campaign financially, Abad promises that Lacson can return to Manila if the Liberal Party Standard bearer Senator Noynoy Aquino gets elected to the highest post. The representatives of Senator Lacson and Noynoy also agreed that the impending double murder case against Lacson would be archived as part of the deal if Noynoy indeed wins. Former police senior superintendent Cezar Mancao named Lacson as the mastermind of the murders of Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito. Dacer and Corbito were abducted the morning of November 24, 2000, while on their way to the Manila Hotel. Investigations later showed that the two were interrogated, tortured and strangled to death, and their bodies burned. Up to now their families are still grieving and still crying for justice. The daughter of the slain Bubby Dacer; Sabina Dacer swore that: "In his exact words he said, 'mga anak, kung may mangyari sa akin, walang ibang may kakagawan noon kundi si Ping Lacson'" (translated: my children, if anything should happen to me, no one else could be responsible but Ping Lacson). It seems that voting for Noynoy and helping his campaign would tolerate more unsolved killings in the Philippines. Let us not be fooled by the schemes of these remorseless murderers.

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

The latest survey done by non-politicians!

The latest survey done by non-politicians!
SHOOTING STRAIGHT By Valeriano Avila (The Freeman) Updated March 02, 2010 12:00 AM

It's election season and there is no doubt that every Tom, Dick and Harry would go out of their way to present their own surveys for their selfish or political ends. My, even Reader's Digest came up with their own "Most Trusted" persons survey, which puts Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino, III as number five on that list, while Rosa Rosal topped this survey. Even funnier is the name of Hayden Kho Jr. as number 80th. Is Reader's Digest telling us that women can trust Hayden Kho that if they go to bed with him, their love tryst won't end up being sold in the DvD black market stores?

This is the problem with surveys done at this time; it is almost impossible to believe that there was no political slant, even in that Reader's Digest survey. We've read most of the Social Weather Station (SWS) and Pulse Asia Surveys, but most people say that these two companies have a very high credibility when it comes to poverty index or the like, but when it comes to political surveys, they often sound incredible. So, whose survey can we believe? After all, most of the PR groups handling politicians have their own surveys for their own client's benefit.

A week ago, we came up with the first survey done by the Campaigns & Images Group (Philippines) that was commissioned by United Kingdom and US based companies doing business in the Philippines. A non-government organization that received financial grant from donor countries in the US and the European Economic Community administered the questionnaire on individuals identified by sector, from services, industrial and agricultural, including occupations and age brackets. The first survey done by this group at the end of January 31. 2010 showed that former Defense Sec. Gibo Teodoro had overtaken Erap and was 3rd behind the statistically tied Aquino and Villar.

This new survey asked the question as to who has the better platform of government among the Presidentiables. Here are the latest results.

Sample Depth : 5,100 individuals

Respondents : 4,947 individuals

When I first published the first survey, I got calls from many people why that survey wasn't published or made public. My answer was, "This was the most unbiased of all surveys as it wasn't collated to help any political candidate as the survey was commissioned to get into the bottom of who were really leading this Presidential race." But the Campaigns & Images Group allowed me to publish its results.

For this second survey, it is clear that Sen. Manny Villar has now overtaken the survey leader, Noynoy Aquino, III. Villar bagged a 32% or a 9 percentage points lead against survey leader, Noynoy Aquino, while Gibo Teodoro Jr. got 18 percentage points or a mere 6% behind Noynoy. This new or latest survey was conducted by volunteers from the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) between Feb.10 and 20th.

There are surveys being spread around in order to make their candidates look good. But by far, this is the most thorough and the most credible survey that I have ever seen.

EMPTY SEATS

THIS WAS TAKEN DURING THE NOYNOY EVENT FROM ARANETA LAST FEB 25, 2010. THEY CLAIM THEY HAD OVER 20,000 ATTENDEES. WHAT ABSOLUTE HORSE SHIT! Eh napaka dami ngang EMPTY SEATS! Hakot na nga di pa napuno araneta!

CORRUPTSUKI

BEWARE SA MGA TAO NA ITO! MAGALING SILA MANG LOKO, MAG NAKAW AT MANGKURAKOT! myembro ng grupong ito si NoyNoy at Mar at ang leader nila ay walang iba kundi si GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO!

Yes, we should be afraid

Yes, we should be afraid

Noynoy has been quoted as saying that “the wrong choice of leader could make the situation of the country worse.” I agree with him. But not in the way he wants me to agree even if he rates high in surveys. From his statements, it seems clear that he does not have the qualities necessary for a good president never mind if he is the son of “two democracy icons.” He insults the intelligence of Filipinos when he says that if we are not able to “repair the situation with changes come May 10”, it will be infinitely worse”. But what does he mean by change? If by change he means to make him the president, heaven help us all.

* * *

On vital concerns he fails to articulate a credible perspective. In the front page of a national daily there was a picture of a field cracked with caking mud and a story of Noynoy saying there was no drought. It was only an excuse for government’s plan to cheat he reportedly said. How is this leader going to cope with understanding the needs of the country when the drought and power shortages are already upon us and he’s still talking about politics?

Mercifully in his mother’s time, the power failures happened at the end of her term and a new President FVR quickly turned it around to save the country. The son is not even president yet and he is already dismissing the drought as politically motivated. How can we plan ahead for the country’s energy needs with a leader like him who does not have a clue?

One question that will come up in long term planning for energy for the country is whether or not we will construct a new nuclear power plant or rehabilitate the mothballed BNPP to meet the country’s needs.

All around Asia, other countries are already well ahead in developing nuclear energy programs even in countries like Vietnam and Cambodia.

And you wonder why we cannot catch up with our neighbors?

Two groups, one Korean and the other, French have offered their expertise to construct a nuclear plant in the Philippines to address the looming power shortage aggravated by the drought.

The South Korea-based Korea Electric Power Corp. Kepco is said to prefer developing a new nuclear power plant rather than rehabilitating the BNPP. A new nuclear power plant would cost about US$1 billion. The BNPP rehabilitation will take at least five years to finish while a new nuclear facility may take as long as 10 years.

Noynoy does not score better on foreign relations. In one interview this presidential candidate said he did not have a clue about Myanmar.

What? Someone wants to be president of this country and he does not know anything about a country whose politics has been the bone of contention between Asean leaders and the West led by the United States. Recently, the US was forced to recall its policy of sanctions against the country as ineffective. The reporter did not pursue the question and just brushed it away perhaps thinking it was irrelevant.

That is the quality of leaders we are expected to elect in our decrepit presidential system. He may not have been taught in school that Myanmar is at the crossroads of Asia’s great civilizations — India and China. Moreover its relations with the Philippines date back to pre-modern period.

In deference to the request of Jocelyn Dawis-Asuncion, daughter of Col. Jose H. Dawis who was the Chief of Police of Quezon City during EDSA 1, I am giving her space in today’s column.

She was indignant at the continuous misrepresentation of the facts repeated by her father’s boss then, Gen. Alfredo Lim who by the way is running for reelection as Mayor of Manila. She believes that Lim is burnishing his image for cheap politics at the expense of her father.

Lim used an excerpt from Nick Joaquin’s book as EDSA’s untold story finally narrated.

Here is her version of events told and retold to her by her father while he was still alive. Hers is the real untold story, not Lim’s but she did not know of any journalist who might take it up.

“Each year, every February, stories like this (published in another newspaper, not The STAR) will come out in the papers. My dad, Colonel Jose H. Dawis, the then Chief of Police of Quezon City during the time of the EDSA 1, will always tell us the story of his Commanding General who was cowardly hiding in small Antique shop in P. Tuazon the whole time laden with fear and who actually ordered him to disperse the crowd of EDSA at all cost upon orders of then President Ferdinand Marcos.

My dad, who had less than 300 people under him at the time, was ordered by Gen. Alfredo Lim to disperse the crowd of more than 100,000 and Gen Lim promised him 500 men will come from the military. My dad stood his ground and told Gen. Lim that he will not disperse the crowd who were just expressing their grievances peacefully. He got mad with my Dad’s response and started to berate my dad. My dad did not follow the orders of his superior officer. It did cross his mind that this may break his career but he stood by his decision anyway.

Sen. Butch Aquino is witness to this because my dad has always dealt with him when they would go to Quezon City to hold demonstration rallies. My dad, the Chief of Police of Quezon City, had developed a very good relationship with the opposition leaders led by Sen. Butch Aquino and then students leaders like Lean Alejandro, Senator Kiko Pangilinan, Chito Gascon and Mike Defensor. He would always allow them to protest peacefully in Quezon City and after a few hours the protestors will disperse without any incidence of violence.

It is unfortunate that my dad is not here anymore to refute all the lies peddled by General Lim. Through the years, he kept his silence knowing in his heart who the real EDSA hero is.

But I will not keep my silence. I know who the real EDSA hero is.

It is my father not General Lim. If my Dad is indeed General Lim’s friend as he claims, I wish he would stop using the name of my father and dishonoring him.

My dad is one of the real heroes of EDSA and should be counted among the hundreds of thousands of people who fought the oppression of the Marcos regime.

TALO NANAMAN SI NOYNOY!

FEB 25 EVENT ATTENDEES

NoyNoy supporters: 19,321

Villar supporters: 100,236

MALL OF ORANGE ASIA!

MALL OF ORANGE ASIA!

More than 70,000 thousand orange loving Filipinos attended the Rockatropa concert last nyt. Feb 25, 2010.

the hot weather didn't stop any of the fans wanting to enjoy a good concert filled with great advocacy!

Camille Villar, daughter of NP's presidential bet Senator Manny Villar organized the event as part of her mission to help the Filipino youth enjoy a better life. lots of Bands, Singers and Actors spear headed the entertainment program.

the best part is it was absolutely FREE!

all of the fans are very happy with the concert. one of them even said "buti nalang dito kami punta sa orange, pangit kasi dun sa kabila naninigil pa!"

Those whom the gods wish to destroy... they first make mad

Statement — attributed to Euripides (c. 480 BC) in reference to those who had become crazed by power — suspiciously applies to the present-day handlers of the presidential bid of Noynoy Aquino.
The handlers have acted arrogantly with the thought that the presidency is theirs for the taking. They had better perish that thought by now.

In the afterglow

Other seizures of madness followed.

Two weeks into

It was nonchalant

It was methodical

It was incautious

It was arrogant

It was presumptuous madness for Noynoy to expose his dictatorial streak when he threatened not to recognize anyone who accepts an appointment as chief justice extended by the incumbent President. Imagine the fallout that he got from this idiotic statement! Whoever gave Noynoy this advice deserves a drill on the head.

It was slovenly

It is juvenile

It is infantile madness for Noynoy and his handlers to rely completely on the name of his parents, and even fail to make a name for himself. The time has come for Noynoy to stand on his own. Sadly, he forgot that elections progress in phases, yet he got stuck in the euphoria of August 2009, and never moved on.

It is insensitive

The LP leadership
Who is in charge, really? Definitely not Noynoy, who has failed to show the voters he can really hack it as an executive. If he cannot even put order to his campaign, how can he even pretend that he will be able to govern a nation of 95 million?

Noynoy need not

Indeed, Noynoy

NOYNOY VS MAR!

NOYNOY VS MAR!

The Liberal Party is again in turbulent times as a rift between the camp of NoyNoy and Mar are becoming more evident.

Mar Roxas as we all know was to be the bet of the LP as their candidate for President, but after Tita Cori died, Mar was forced to step down after spending millions of pesos on his tv ads. Apparently Mr. Drilon and Mr. Abad thought that NoyNoy would be a better candidate to go up against NP’s standard bearer.

Mar Roxas is the President of LP and Manny Villar is the President of NP. It makes sense that Villar and Roxas should go up against each other for the highest post in the land.

NoyNoy however is now the candidate of LP. After building what many thought was an insurmountable lead on several surveys, Aquino is now in a statistical tie with Villar. And many analysts believe it is only a matter of time before Villar would take the lead.

Every time there would be a presidential forum its very obvious to many that NoyNoy has some materials around him, like papers or celphone that he is using to be able to answer a question coherently. Still, his answers are way below average.

Mar Roxas is a very articulate man and a good speaker, he is smarter than NoyNoy. And now some of the LP supporters are realizing that Mar would have been a better candidate to match up against Villar.

The Cori magic is over. Villar has the momentum. A few weeks ago, it’s been widely rumored that Binay would be the real Vice President for NoyNoy. A gossip that both NoyNoy’ and Mar denies. Still the supporters of Mar Roxas are feeling the same agony they felt when 4 months ago the rumor of NoyNoy replacing Mar as the presidential candidate of LP came to reality.

During the birthday of NoyNoy it was very noticeable that Mar wasn’t present and rumor has it that NoyNoy and Mar’s camp had an argument because Mar has gone rouge with his own platform. A decision he failed to tell NoyNoy.

Why is NoyNoy sliding down on recent polls and Mar is steadily building a lead against his opponents? It’s because people are finally realizing that Mar Roxas is a better leader than NoyNoy. It should have been Mar Roxas against Manny Villar. NoyNoy doesn’t even deserve to be vice president what more the presidency.

Juday gives it back to Jamby: Regrets

Actress Judy Ann Santos told the media during a press conference that she also regretted endorsing presidential aspirant Jamby Madrigal, who ran for a Senate seat in 2004 and won.

During the Inquirer-sponsored presidential debate held on Feb. 8, Madrigal said she regretted getting Santos to campaign for her at the time: “I have seen the folly of my ways and I will not repeat that because I don’t believe that we should perpetuate lies [with the help of] a thick budget.”

Santos said, “It’s good that it came from her because we feel exactly the same way.”

The actress said she got upset when she heard about the politician’s comments. “I thought she was sincere... I thought she believed that I was an effective endorser, that I was able to convince at least three people to vote for her everywhere we went.”

Santos is among the top 10 celebrity endorsers in the country, pitching for products as diverse as shampoo (Pantene), mobile phone service (Sun) and feminine wash (Lactacyd, which was launched Monday).

She took offense at the insinuation that stars endorse politicians for nothing more, or less, than a hefty talent fee.

As for the rumor that Madrigal failed to compensate her properly for the 2004 campaign, Santos just shrugged: “I’d rather not comment on that. When it comes to money matters, it’s best to talk to my manager, Alfie Lorenzo,” she told the Inquirer in a one-on-one.

She said she learned a lot from this controversy. “I am more picky now... before campaigning for anyone, I’ll make sure I know that person really well... from head to foot.”

She said she first met Madrigal just before the 2004 election. “We did an infomercial on the youth. Since she was running [with] the party of Tatay Ron (Fernando Poe Jr.), I also campaigned for her.”

She is not interested in waging a word war with Madrigal, though. “I value my name and reputation in the business,” Juday said, adding that she has yet to hear from Madrigal after Feb. 8. “I have no idea if she is trying to reach me, but if she wants to... who am I to turn my back on her?”

Asked if she is endorsing a candidate this election, Juday said, “I’d rather keep that to myself or discuss it only among friends. Or maybe if I’m in the grocery and someone asks who I’d vote for, I’ll be open about it. But I’d rather not campaign openly.”

Her requirements? “I will vote for someone who will help the country progress, someone who can solve simple problems, like traffic.”

She said that the Comelec ruling enjoining celebrities and media personalities to go on leave if they want to campaign was “slightly” unfair.

“Why single out actors? We also have the right to express our opinions and support whomever we want.”
