While Marcos attracted the best and brightest, the Aquinos embraced the dumbest and most crooked

By -


To be fair to Winnie Monsod, she has been a critic of the Binays way, way before Jojo Binay became a VP. So, one wonders what vetting process the Aquino sisters had that they ended up in full support of a Noy-Bi. It is not that the Monsods are not influential on the Aquinos. Winnie was Cory's NEDA Chairperson. The Monsods being the next door neighbor of Juan Ponce Enrile, Winnie was instrumental in asking Cory to take it easy on JPE who became Cory's DND Sec. Though Winnie became one of the bitterest critic of Gloria, Winnie was actually very close to Gloria prior to that and influence Cory to fully support Gloria in EDSA2. (Cory eventually apologized to Erap when Gloria turned out to be a big, big disappointment)

Meanwhile, Christian Monsod was one of the framers of Cory's 1987 Constitution. He was Comelec Chairman during Cory's incumbency in Malacañang. He is an executive of the Lopez Group of Companies (ABS-CBN, Benpres and Meralco) - the Lopezes, of course, are very close to the Aquinos. (Well, if PHL has lousy TV programs and the highest energy cost, blame it on the Lopezes)

But then, one has to be very careful with the Monsods, they say so many things in support of the BBL. They are against Binay, but are for BBL, maybe we know where they are coming from.

But then, while Marcos seemed to have attracted the best and the brightest, the Aquinos seem to be a magnet for the most corrupt. Marcos had Gerry Sicat, Cesar Virata, Carlos Romulo, Blas Ople, Manny Pelaez, Fidel Ramos, JPE, etc. With Aquinos, hello Binay, hello Gloria Arroyo, hello Dinky Soliman, hello Puno of DILG, hello Purisima, hello Torres of LTO, hello Abaya of DOTC, hello Vitangcol of MRT, hello Paquito Ochoa, hello Abad, hello Alcala of Agri, hello Joel Villanueva And if not probably the corrupt, the most flaky: hello Mar Roxas, hello Coloma and Lacierda, hello Petilla, hello Coronel Ferrer and Deles, hello Rufus Rodriguez, hello Risa Hontiveros, hello Loretta Rosales of CHR, hello Leah Navarro, hello Jim Paredes, hello DongYan .. Daang Matuwid, or KKK pala?

And now that the forces of Binay and Gloria have come together, we will see who they will attract. Binay said:

Quote.Ang UNA ay hindi samahan ng mga palpak at manhid. Hindi ito samahan ng mga tamad, usad-pagong at teka-teka sa pagharap sa mga problema ng bayan. May sapat na karanasan at hindi bagitong mag-aaral pa lang sa pamamahala at pagsisilbi sa bayan.

Aaminin natin kapag tayo sa UNA ay nagkakamali. Hindi tayo maninisi o magbibintang sa iba. Aakuin natin ang responsibilidad at pananagutan nang buong pagpapakumbaba.

At lagi nating igagalang ang ating Konstitusyon at laging paiiralin ang batas. Patitingkarin natin ang tatlong sangay ng pamahalaan na pinahina ng panunuhol at pananakot. ..Unquote

Wow, fantastic words. Ah well, another cover for a new round of corruption?!! Same, same, parang slogan din ng Daan Matuwid. No wonder the Aquino sisters like Binay, same style, same methodology as their unico hermano.

No, I was not talking of the Games of Thrones, but then who cares about all of you and me, we are not part of the elite. The game is all about the elite and those trying hard to be elite, and the hell with the Philippines as far as they are concerned.

Leni Robredo has become a sad mechanical puppet and an embarrassment to Filipinos

By -

Guess who has taken over Leila de Lima’s place on the anti-Duterte international speaking circuit? Watch this video that Leni Robredo made for an international NGO event in Vienna tomorrow. Warning: this will REALLY make your blood boil. If you have vertigo, sit down and take a deep breath before watching. You know what’s really sickening about this video? It’s not even the lies and exaggerations that Robredo is saying about what’s going on in the Philippines and how Pinoys feel about it (as if she’s in any position to speak for the Filipino people, who mostly hate her guts). It’s the hollowness and emptiness of the way she mechanically reads from a script that obviously someone else wrote. She’s making huge claims about thousands of people being summarily killed by police, but her eyes and voice are absolutely empty of emotion or conviction. She’s just a puppet playing a role, who doesn’t even understand what she’s doing or saying, she’s just mindlessly following her owner’

Reporters Karen Lema and Manuel Mogato of @Reuters LIED about the Duterte "Hitler" quote

By -

The oh-so-noble journalists are at it again, this time, with Duterte’s Hitler comment. I am no Duterte fanatic. I criticize him more scathingly than anyone when his mouth is out of line. But this time, Duterte really didn’t say anything wrong. The real culprits behind the fuss over his Hitler comment are Karen Lema and Manuel Mogato, two Filipino reporters of the Reuters news agency, who wrote this article: “ Philippines’ Duterte likens himself to Hitler, wants to kill millions of drug addicts ”. Lema and Mogato are Filipinos. There’s no way they could have misunderstood what Duterte really meant in his speech. I watched the video and this is what the President said: “Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. There are 3 million drug addicts. I’d be happy to slaughter them. At least, if Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have ….. my victims, all criminals, to finish a problem of my country, and save the next generation.” (See for yourself here . The Hitler part is at 14:40.

An open letter to CNN on their reporting on the #YolandaPH disaster in the Philippines

By -

This "open letter" was found making the rounds on social media: * * * Dear Sirs: I just wanted to make some comments on the reporting of the CNN International crew here in Manila, regarding the relief efforts for the victims of super-typhoon Haiyan (which we locally call typhoon Yolanda). First, full disclosure: I am a retired Filipino executive and computer person. I was born in the Philippines and spent all my life here (save for some very short overseas stints connected with my career). I have worked with a large local Philippine utility, started up several entrepreneurial offshore software service companies (when outsourcing was not yet in vogue), and also served as the Philippine country head for a multi-billion dollar Japanese computer company. This diverse work background allows me to always see both the local and global point of view, and to see things from the very different standpoints of a third-world citizen, and a person familiar with first-world mind

Victims of drug-crazed addicts don't get 'trending' hashtags like #JusticeForKian

For the past few days I was doing research on a few things like I said. A new FB friend sent me a message telling me about a Dad in Dumaguete who lost his only daughter to a drug crazed addict who used 7 knives to stab her and a friend in Siquijor last April. I did the research, read up on everything and his recent "upheavals". I need not tell you all that I have no words to fully express how deeply this affects me because I am a single mom with a daughter too. His only daughter was even 3 - 4 months pregnant when she and her friend was mercilessly stabbed to death so many times by a drug addict. Nino Pinero is a professor in Siliman University. He is a coach. Given what I have read about this gentleman, he is a very compassionate man, a loving father and being a coach to youngsters - deeply loved by his students. And I would like to give him his privacy in as much as I can. 100% respect for this man. His recent "upheavals" came with the pronouncements
