Joker Arroyo’s privilege speech against Manny Villar

In a privilege speech delivered in 1998 as a congressman, Joker Arroyo already raised serious issues against then Speaker Manny Villar.

This is an old privilege speech delivered by then Congressman Joker Arroyo, bringing to light issues against then Congressman Manny Villar.

Malayang Halalan re-posts this privilege speech in its entirety here, for all to consider.

Rep. Joker Arroyo privilege speech on Villar business deals and methods August 17, 1998

QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE OF REP. JOKER ARROYO

I rise on a question of collective privilege on a constitutional issue that affects the integrity of the House and it is very ripe to continue existing.

In the course of the fight for the speakership, Rep. Agapito Aquino, chairman of the reform bloc, raised questions regarding the fitness of Rep. Villar to seek the speakership. Rep. Villar chose to answer the charges but he was overwhelmingly elected Speaker by this House.

Successful election, however, does not answer the questions nor lay to rest charges of wrongdoing, not in government of laws.

We had a colleague, we still have a colleague in the person of Congressman Jalosjos. He was elected by his district but that did not erase his conviction. So, drawing a parallel election does not wipe out the offense.

The questions raised, nay, the charges against Speaker Villar are constitutional in character. And our duty as members of the legislature is peremptory and clear. We took oath to support and defend the Constitution and uphold the laws. The Constitution has been violated, laws have been broken. If we are to continue in the capacity of public officials, if this Chamber is to continue in its very character as legislature, an indispensable pillar in the system of checks and balances, then we must come to the Constitution’ s defense and the vindication of the laws.

I hesitated long and pondered hard whether to raise these questions for fear of being accused of sour-graping and being a poor sport. But this has nothing to do with sports. Our duty is clear, there are charges of illegalities, the charges must be heard and answered. I am reminded of the case of Speaker Newt Gingrich of the United States House of Representatives. He was investigated by the United States House of Representatives for I think collecting some fees of books he wrote while Speaker (I am not too sure of the facts). But one thing I am sure of is this, the House after hearing censured its own Speaker and penalized him with a penalty was meted out. In other words, there are precedents and we must not hesitate to do our duty.

Article XI of the Constitution is titled “Accountability of Public Officers” it proscribes in Section 16 that:

“No loan, guaranty, or other form of financial accommodation for any business purpose may be granted, directly or indirectly, by any government or controlled bank or financial institution to the President, the Vice President, the Members of the Cabinet, the Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Constitutional Commission, the Ombudsman, or to any firm or entity in which they have controlling interest, during their term.”

Charge I. Low cost housing is totally dependent on government agencies such as PAG-IBIG, National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation (NHMFC), SSS, GSIS, and other government financial institutions.

Speaker Villar and the companies of which he is President or Chairman, or where he has a controlling interest, are the biggest low-cost housing developers in the country. To be more specific, it is the Camella and Palmera Homes and its principal subsidiaries, the Household Development Corporation and Palmera and Communities Philippines.

In violation of the constitutional injunction, these companies were given financial accommodations by government banks or financial institutions, among them, PAG-IBIG and the National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation among others, during Speaker Villar’s term as Representative from 1992 to 1998 to finance their business purposes.

Charge II. Representative Villar, from 1992 to 1998 did not divest himself of his interests in, nor did he sever his connections with, the companies aforestated. They obtained financial accommodations from the above government financial institutions while he was a Member of Congress. Since he did not, therefore, such companies were forbidden from entering into such financial arrangements.

Because of our Constitution, Republic Act No. 6713 known as the “Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials” states in Section 9:

“Divestment. – A public official or employee should avoid conflicts of interest at all times. When a conflict of interest arises, he shall resign from his position in any private business enterprise within thirty (30) days from his assumption of office and/or divest himself of his shareholdings or interest within sixty (60) days from such assumption.. .”

Charge III. Nor has Speaker Villar, up to now, I am saying up to now, divested himself of his interests in, nor has he severed his connections with, the companies aforestated. Speaker Villar is in no hurry to divest because he has declared that he is under no obligation to do so. A continuing violation.

Charge IV. Speaker Villar controls the Capitol Bank. Mrs. Villar is the chief executive officer. The Capitol Bank received loans, financial accommodations and guarantees from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas from 1992 to 1998 while he was a Representative. That is constitutionally forbidden.

To sum it up, the constitutional prohibition is very simple. If a Representative has a controlling interest in a firm or entity, that firm or entity cannot be extended a loan, a guaranty, or a financial accommodation for any business purpose from any government financial institution.

If that firm or entity would like to obtain a loan, a guaranty or a financial accommodation from a government financial institution, that firm or entity must first relieve itself of the controlling interest of the Representative.

It is my humble submission that Speaker Villar did not do either.

Republic Act No. 3019, otherwise known as the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, provides in Section 6 therefore as follows:

“Sec. 6. Prohibition on Members of Congress. – It shall be unlawful hereafter for any Member of the Congress during the term for which he has been elected, to acquire or to receive any personal or pecuniary interest in any specific business enterprise which will be directly and particularly favoured or benefited by any law or resolution authored by him previously approved or adopted by the Congress during the same term.

The provision of this section shall apply to any other public officer who recommended that initiation in Congress of the enactment or adoption of any law or resolution, and acquires any such interest during his incumbency.”

In other words, even if he was not the principal author, if he did ask or initiated the enactment of such a law, he is covered by the prohibition.

Simply put, during our term of office, each one of us, it shall be unlawful for us to author any law or resolution that would benefit orfavor us. The above prohibition shall apply even to that representative who just recommended, not even authored, the enactment of such law that benefited him.

Charge V. Representative Villar, in his bid for the speakership, prepared a propaganda kit that he distributed to Congressmen and media. I think you were given copies of the one. It is entitled “Manny B. Villar, Jr., Achiever and Visionary Leader,” and [in] the “Legislative Performance of Congressman Manny B. Villar, Jr.” Representative Villar unequivocally said that he “incorporated in the landmark Comprehensive and Integrated Shelter Finance Act, Republic Act No. 7835, the recapitalization of the National Home Mortgage and Finance Corporation and the amendment to the Agri-Aqua Law to include housing investment.”

Speaker Villar’s companies are engaged in housing. He thereby violated the Anti-Graft Law.

The aforementioned Act, which incorporates H.B. No. 6145, co-authored by then Representative Villar mandates “banks to extend to housing loans not utilized for agriculture and agrarian reform credit.” In other words, loanable funds for agriculture and agrarian credit are to be re-channeled to housing, Speaker Villar’s business.

Representative Villar co-authored H.B. No. 11005 which “increased the capital of the National Home Mortgage and Finance Corporation” and is the main source of funding of Speaker Villar’s companies. President Estrada admitted that the National Home Mortgage and Finance Coporation is presently bankrupt. He said that to the following: LAMP President Edgardo Angara, CongressmanAgapito Aquino, Presidential Legislative Liaison Officer Jimmy Policarpio, former Congresman Miguel Romero and myself. The President no less said that it is bankrupt. Increasing the capitalization of a bankrupt GFI benefited Representative Villar’s housing companies.

In the same propaganda kit of Speaker Villar, it states that “also passed by the House were Villar’s measures to make Pag-ibig Find contributions compulsory and to increase housing investments with the SSS.” Pag-ibig is a main source of funding of Speaker Villar’scompanies.

In a word, Representative Villar’s legilslation from 1992 to 1998 were designed to benefit his business, a violation of the Anti-Graft Law.

Now, the same provision of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, provides in the third paragraph of Section 6 thereof, as follows:

It shall likewise be unlawful for such member of Congress or other public officer, who, having such interest prior to the approval of such law or resolution authored or recommended by him, continues for thirty days after such approval to retain such interest.

Charge VI. When those bills that Representative Villar introduced or co-authored were enacted into law, he did not divest himself of his interest in his companies that benefited therefrom.

Now, Republic Act 6713, known as the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials provides in Section 3 (j):

Section 3 (j) “Divestment” is the transfer of title or disposal of interest in property by voluntarily, completely and actually depriving or dispossessing oneself of his right or title to it in favour of a person or persons other than his spouse and relatives as defined in this Act.

Charge VII. Manuela Corporation applied for and was granted a loan of P1 billion by the SSS, a government financial institution. Another P2 billion loan would be syndicated with another government financial institution, the GSIS. Total syndicated loan from the twoGFIs: P3 billion.

Manuela Corporation, a housing and realty corporation, is owned by the family of the wife of Speaker Villar. An indirect financial accommodation. Again, the same Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials states in Section 3 (k) thereof:

Section 3 (k) “Relatives” refers to any and all persons related to a public official or employee within the fourth civil degree of consanguinity or affinity, including bilas, inso, or balae.

SSS, historically and as a matter of public policy does not extend direct loans to any company. It extends loans to banks or to public or private financial institutions but not directly to business enterprises. The direct loan to Manuela Corporation is a first in SSS history.

Charge VIII. Manuela Corporation owes the Capitol Bank, which also owned by Speaker Villar, P150 million. There may be nothing wrong with that because both are private entities. However, out of the P3 billion earmarked to liquidate the P150 million Capitol Bank loan to the failing Manuela Corporation. In other words, it is a financial accommodation extended by GFIs to relieve Capitol Bank, owned by Speaker Villar, of the P150 million loan. Another indirect financial accommodation.

Charge IX. The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) is being undertaken in obedience to a constitutional mandate. All lands covered by CARP cannot be used for residential, agricultural, industrial or other uses unless a clearance, conversion, or exemption for a particular property is first issued by DAR.

Speaker Villar’s companies are developing or have developed 5,950 hectares or almost 60,000,000 square meters of CARP lands into residential subdivision without the appropriate DAR issuances that would authorize such lands to be used for residential purposes. Atraducement of the constitutionally directed CARP law.

Article XIII of the Constitution, in Sections 4,5,6,7 and 8 states with clarity what the agrarian reform program is all about.

Just to give you an idea about how big 60,000,000 square meters is – my constituency of Makati is only one-third of that size. It is only roughly 21,000,000 square meters. If you add the entire area of Las Piñas and Makati, that is the residential subdivisions covered by the companies of Speaker Villar.

The House cannot reform itself, much less even operate effectively if a cloud of doubt hangs over the Speaker of the House. It is to the interest of the Speaker and the Members no less if these concerns are addressed frontally and resolved forthwith to clear the path for meaningful reforms.

Public office is a public trust. We, the representatives of the people pay a price for getting elected to public office. The Constitution imposes on us certain constraints which we must follow to the letter.

Let me allude to the Members of Congress who are barristers – the Constitution forbids us, lawyers, from appearing in court. In my case, for instance, I was a practitioner up to 1992. I got elected to the House so I stopped practicing, or in other words, I no longer appear in court. That is the price I have to pay. I think I was earning adequately in the practice of law, but I have to make a choice. Do I want to be a lawyer or I want to be a Congressman? If I want to continue being a lawyer, then I must not be a Congressman. If I have to be a Congressman then I must stop lawyering. That is what the Constitution says.

So in the case of Speaker Villar, it is simple. If he wants to go/continue in business and deal with government financial institutions, he can do so but he cannot also be a Congressman. If he wants to be a Congressman, then he must not be in business which deals with the government. We have to pay a price.

So, this case is a learning experience for us all. Whatever the outcome, it will show the things we can do, the things we cannot do, and the things we must do.

I would propose that the House of Representatives constitute itself into a Committee of the Whole to hear the charges and the Speaker’s defense.

He will have a trial that is more than fair to him for he will be judged by the very peers who elevated him to be the first among equals, only this time they will judge him according to the law.

I will never seek the speakership again nor in any manner challenge the leadership of Speaker Villar except on this specific issue of constitutional breach that calls into question the rule of law.

This is how important it is.

So I rest my cause.

    Ito po ay isang matanda nang “paratang,” at ngayon ko lang nabasa at napag-alaman… mayroon po bang nangyari o napagka-isahan ang ating mga Mambabatas tungkol sa “paratang” na ito?

    It would appear that almost the same scenario “paratang” is being featured in our Senate today…

    So, mga kababayan, siguro naman kahit Grade one na bata ay makakahalata na na ang “modus” ay iisa at ang “style” ng pagsasamantala sa tungkulin ay hinding-hindi nagbabago tulad nuong nasa House of Representative pa ang ating “magiting” na Senator…taong bayan, gising, gising at husgahan na natin ang mga pagmamalabis na ito…simple lang naman, just do not vote for this guy!!!! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!!!!

  2. 2Bong Umpa

    Nobody wants will vote for Manny Villar for presidency except the Remulla’s of Cavite, The Marcos Loyalists, Satur Ocampo’s group NPA and NP tradpoliticians members.

    All intellegent voters will vote for candidate who is not corrupt but clean even he is not lawyer.

    Hay naku, when I was working as a property consultant for Peak properties (amiong otehrs liek Camella,Palmera Homes and Crown Asia, kanya din to), the high end development Corporation of Villar (that sells Brittany, Crosswinds, Island Park,FOnta Mara,Bellerev,etc), nagulat na lang ako bakit ang bilin ng manager namin ay sabihin sa mga prospective clients na maring bumii ng mga loteng ito na MAG PE PRESIDENTE SI VILLAR AT MARMAING KONEKSYON,KYA MA AASSURE NAMIN SILA NG RIGHT OF WAY…That was more than a decade ago and I am no longer connected with teh company. Now I know, TOTOONG NANGYARI NGA…MATAGAL NG PINAG PLANUHAN..MARAMING NGANG KAKILALA (SINU2 pa kya ang NABILI NI VILLAR). Ni hindi nga ako nagtaka at nangyayari ang mga ito dahil hindi pa sya speaker of the house, alam na namin, conbgressman pa lang sya nun,na tlagang tatakbo sya at sigurado sya sa mga right of way sa mga projects nya…

    Hay naku, when I was working as a property consultant for Brittany ,a development corporation among many other development corporations that he owns like CAMELLA HOMES,PALMERA HOMES and CROWN ASIA kanya din to), the high end development Corporation of Villar (that sellsCrosswinds, Island Park,Fonta Mara,Bellerev,etc), nagulat na lang ako bakit ang bilin ng manager namin ay sabihin sa mga prospective clients na maaring bumii ng mga loteng ito na ipaalam at sabihin namin na MAG PE- PRESIDENTE SI VILLAR AT MARAMING KONEKSYON,KYA MA A-ASSURE NAMIN SILA NG RIGHT OF WAY…That is translated into prime locations with the best access in transportation ,right of way kasi eh and yan ang asset ng mga proyekto nya. Madmai syang nakukuha na strategic locaions talaga, nagtataka nga ako bakit kailanagan naming i- assure ang mg clients or magpahapyaw na tatakbo sya. That was more than a decade ago and I am no longer connected with the company. Now I know, TOTOONG NANGYARI NGA…MATAGAL NG PINAG PLANUHAN..MARAMING NGANG KAKILALA (SINU2 pa kya ang NABILI NI VILLAR). Ni hindi nga ako nagtaka at nangyayari ang mga ito dahil hindi pa sya speaker of the house, alam na namin, congressman pa lang sya nun,na tlagang tatakbo sya at sigurado sya sa mga right of way sa mga projects nya…

    Perhaps it would shed light if I enumerate the names of the villages for each Development Corporation that he owns. Let me start with CROWN ASIA:

    Cottonwoods
    Milla Luce
    Ponticelli
    CItta Italia
    Valenza
    Amalfi
    Amici
    Forteza
    Maia Alta
    Mia Vita
    Residencia
    Vittoria
    Vivace
    Woodbury
    Marina heights
    Carmel

    - These are mostly located in Cavite (Hello Mr. Remulla.Me vested interest kya sya dito?)

    For Brittany Corporation:

    FONTAMARA (Sta Rosa) – Oh this is located in the ebst route fo Sta Rosa heading Tagaytay
    CROSSWINDS (Tagaytay)
    ISLAND PARK (Cavite)
    Belle Rev (Sta Rosa)
    and a lot more

    CAMELLA and PALMERA developments are juts about anywhere too.

    In case some ppl are not aware, meron in syang properties ng mga memorial lots. And while he may have earned through hard work (Is it?) all these properties dotting the metropolis and strategic locations in provinces,the aquisition of the right of way and the assurance of these to prrospective clinets would bewonder anybody. Pinagplanuhan na matagal pa ang pag pe presidengte,pati rigth of way and aquisitions and divestment ng fundsfor his personal businesses.

    Please Pilipinas, do not vote for Villar.

    From congressman to senator…Puro pansariling interes and inuuna ni Villar. Puro sa sariling business. Paano na kung maging Presidente pa siya? Matakot po tayo sa abilidad niya na takbuhan ang mga inquiries at investigation. Matakot po tayo sa kakayahan niya sa corruption. Be afraid of Villar’s expertise in promoting his business at the expense of the Philippines and with total disregard of the law.

    Let’s give our beloved country a clean new start. Let’s give our dear nation a new untarnished dawn. Do not vote for Villar.

  11. 11Cristobal

    Yan po ang mga Tradisyon ng politikang pinoy, kong kelan
    panahon na ng halalan saka magsusulputan yong mga baho
    at mga iba’tibang paninira, ang masaklap na katutuhan dito lahat namam, inuulit ko lahat naman silang mga nasa may katungkulan sa Gobyerno ay may kanya-kanyang sariling deskarte para yumaman. Style nyo pinaiikut niyo lang yong mga tao kuyari may malasakit kayo sa bayan. Magbago na kayong mga nasa gobyerno, matakot naman kayo sa iyong sariling mukha. Madami kaming naghihirap magtrabaho, na bayad ng bayad ng buwis na di namam nasusulit, na sanay pambili na namin ng Bigas napunta pa sa kamay ng malaimyernong kamay.

  12. 12Gene

    Manny Villar earned a reputation as “A”ccountant! He counts
    in a very peculiar way like: A-one, A-two, A-three to a point of A-tin..A-kin..

    How can we trust a man who shit on his own nest?

    To the voters, God said, “Simple life is a full life”..So for me I would choose a leader with this trait…

  13. 13grace

    talagang dapat hindi iboto si villar dahil pansarili lang ang hangad niyan kaya yan ba ang dapat maging presidente? mag-esep-esep ang mga botante dahil dito nakasalalay ang ating kinabukasan. totoo lahat ang paratang sa kanya kaya huwag ninyong tangkilikin ang mga nageendorso sa kanya dahil kahit alam na nila na ganito ang pagkatao ni villar ay nagbubulagbulagan sila basta lang after sila sa bayad sa kanilang pageendorso kahit malagay sa alanganin ang bansang pilipinas at yung iba diyan ay pinangakuan na ng posisyon sa gobyerno kung sakaling siya ang manalong presidente. nakakalungkot isipin na may mga ganyan pang tao kaya vote wisely huwag nyong sayangin ang inyong boto na kung sino na lang trapo na kandidato gaya ni villar.

  14. 14Ecta

    Nakakatakot naman ito. I am not in the Philippines but my concern still goes for our beloved country. Kelan ba sila titgil sa pagnanakaw? Ang hindi ko maintidihan bakit sila kailangan magnakaw? Anong gagawin nila sa pera? At the end of this jounrney so called life we will face only…one and He is our creator and what answers they give Him if they were ask why thay have done this…
    It’s really scary now knowing how greedy this people are…parang sumosobra na talaga sila…
    Parang bumabalik tayo nung panahon ni Marcos…panahon na naman para kalulisin ang maga kawatan na yan…ano man ang sobra ay hindi maganda ngayun umabut na sila sa sukdula…mga kababayan tayo ng magkaisa para sa tunay na pagbabago! Parang awa nyo sa ating bayan HUWAG NYONG IBOTO SI VILLAR! God Bless the Philippines!

    Such a bad guy….using his position and power to acquire more wealth…Though matagal na ito na privilege speech I salute Senator Joker Arroyo for keeping in mind the Filipino people who elected him by presenting to the congress this business dealings of Mr. Villar… Im hoping that Filipino voters will be intelligent enough to vote for the right person as our next President….Di po tayo nangangailangan ng presidente na galing sa mahirap kasi mas nakakatakot na magpakasasa sa poder para maging mas mayaman pa…That is a typical behavior ng isang mahirap na nakatikim ng kaginhawaan sa buhay…Sana magising na po ang mga kababayan natin na sinasabi na naghihirap..kung gusto natin ng pagbabago baguhin muna natin ang ating mga sarili, una is sa pagpili ng ating mga lider ng bansa..wag tayo padala sa mga ad na galing sa hirap, na alam nila ang ating dinaranas na kahirapan, promising us that they will bring us out from poverty..Poverty will always be a big problem in our country kahit sinong presidente pa ang ating ilagay..We have to be wise, vigilant and intelligent most specially ask the Lord’s guidance as we choose our next leaders in the country.

    Bakit ba tuwing eleksyon meron mga ganitong paninira sa kandidato? Bakit sa ba dumarami ang gustong maging pulitiko? Binoto mo, tapos magsisi ka. Walang iniwan yan noon nakaroon EDSA 1, nakasama ako pero ng lumaon nalungkot. Sumobra ang pagiging Malaya natin. Hindi lang naman si Cory ang lumaban kay Marcos ah. Halos lahat ng mayayaman at mahihirap. Lalo na ang mga ambisyosong pulitiko. Yung Media natin, bakit ba lumaki ang kinita ng Cannel 2? Dahil sa kakalaban sa gobyerno. Sino ba ang sumisira ng Pilipinas? Eh di yung Media. Lalo na ang Channel 2. Kalaban nila ang gobyerno dahil binalik sa kanila ni Cory ang mga ari arian nila. Pinalaya ang mga kumunista na tulad ni Joe Sison. Sa ngayo, kaya bang pag baguhin ang teme at takbo ng pilipinas kung sino man ang mananalo sa kanila? Panaginip pwede. Mas mabuti pa ang Marcos regime, Lew Kuan Yew, Dr. Mahathir at Suharto ng Indonesia. Malaki ang pinagbago ng mga bansang ito. Lalo na ang Singapore.. No doubt about it! Lahat halos ng pinoy ay nandito na. Dumamin ang manloloko sa Agency dyan sa pilipinas, sabi me trabaho dito sa Singapore, sa Middle East, at kung saan saan pa. Ask lang, ilang beses ba mag pamedikal ang workers? Magkano ba lagayan? me resibo bang ini issue? Mlakas ang loob ng mga masasamang tao sa pinas.. holdaper, harapan..penalty pag nahuli, 3 months. pumatay, me pera, laya agad. Gaaano katapang ang hustisya? Meron ba? kaya bang baguhin ang pilipinas? kung lahat tayo puro pulitiko, walang mangyayari sa pilipinas. Wala tayong pag kakaisa. Sana manalo ang manok ni M Monsod.. na dating nakakapit kay GMA. Sana manalo si Noynoy.. na ni no smoking at no littering law ay hindi nagawang magpasa ng batas noong Congressman pa siya. Sikat ang ama at ina, me mataray na kapatid sa Channel 2. na handang bumili ng lalaking magustuhan. Ilang sapatos at damit ba ineregalo nya kay Vic Sotto? nakailang kabit na ba siya?

    UUNLAD ANG PILIPINAS PAG NATAPOS ANG ELEKSYON…SANA TALO – TALO..
    PANALO – PANALO…
    TIGILAN NA ANG PULITIKA!!!
    PLIPINOS GOT TALENT.. LET’S USE IT WISELY….

    Dapat pala hindi orange ang theme color ni villar kundi white dahil nagpapakalinis sa sobrang dami itinatagong anomalyang projects.Hm…Sabi nga nya “sipag at tiyaga” para sa sariling interest…diba … daig pa nito ang palos na isda kapag si villar ang nanalo. malamng yung mga tinderong kasma sa ads nya eh puro ponkan na lang ang ititinda pag nagkataon. dahil mas uunahin nya yung mga negosyo nya bago sambayanan… kawawang pinas pag si villar ang nanalo…. dadaigin pa nito si GMA..

  21. 21vicente

    Too bad the joker changed his mind. Villar is a trapo and corrupt at that. Pity the people he fools and the country in the end will suffer. I feel very bad that majority of our people are gullible.

  22. 22arline

    Luma ng masyado speech ni Joker Arroyo na 1998 pa para gamitin ngayon. D ba friends na sila ni Villar ngayon? Di kaya napag alaman na ni Joker na nagkamali siya sa paratang niya kay Villar noon kaya friends na sila ngayon? Bakit sila friends if he knows Villar is not a good guy?
    Dahil ba sa business ni Villar real estate hindi na siya makakagawa ng batas related to housing na makakabuti sa taong bayan?
    Sino ba nakikinabang sa Pag ibig ngayon na sinasabing ginawang compulsary ng batas na pinasa ni Villar, di ba taong bayan na nangangailangan ng murang tirahan?
    Meron bang negosyante na nag intinding magpatayo ng mga affordable na bahay para sa low income group na empleyado o manggagawa bago si Villar?
    Sa pagkakaalam ko, puro mamahaling bahay ang ipinapatayo ng Ayala, Ortigas, etc like Dasmarinas Village, Forbes, Bel Air, Magallanes, Urdaneta etc.
    Bakit sasabihing wasteful ang C5 exyesion project? Kung ito ang nadaanan ng sasakyan namin last week galing Alabang dadaan ng Daang Hari papuntang Cavite,at ito ang C5 ext, napakalaking pakinabang ito sa taong bayan. Maganda ang kalye, maluwang at maraming nagdadaang sasakyan. Natuwa kami ng husband ko dahil ang haba ng daan tapos walang bayad o toll. Ang Coastal Road na BOT yata, mahigit ng 20 yrs na nagbabayad ang mga taga Cavite ng toll na hindi malaman hanggang kailan. Sa sinasabi ni Ms Monsod na BOT dapat ang C5 ext, hindi ba magbabayad ng toll ang taong bayan para mabayaran ang gumawa pag natapos? Paanong naging wasteful ang project na malinaw na pinapakinabangan ng taongbayan dahil walang toll fee dahil DPWH ang gumawa? Siguradong mas mahal aabutin ang halaga ng kalye o anumang infrastructure kung BOT dahil babawiin ng nag invest ang puhunan nila na may napakalaking tubo at may interest pa. Kanino ipapasa ang gastos na ito kundi sa taong bayan na magbabayad ng mahal na toll fee na hindi malaman kung hanggang kailan. Economist naman si Ms Monsod. Bakit hindi niya binannggit ito sa kanyang research? Hindi niya ba ito naisip? magkano toll fee kung sakaling BOT? Nakadaan na ba siya sa nasabing C5 Ext? Ang nakita kong resulta nito, na decongest ang main road ng Cavite na Aguinaldo highway na part ng Bacoor. Ang karamihan ng mga nagtatrabaho sa Manila, Makati, Pasay, Paranaque sa Cavite umuuwi. Sila ang nakikinabang sa kalyeng ito. Bakit wasteful? Dahil ba sa silang nagsasabi nito umuuwi sa malalking subdivision sa makati na hindi nakaranas na magbiyahe ng halos 2 minsan 3 oras para makauwi sa bahay nila sa Cavite na wala pang 30km ang layo sa pinagtatrabahuhan?
    Nagtatanong lang po at naglilinaw ng issues.

    Arline, magkano bayad ni Villar sa iyo?

    i work for a property development company and i can tell you all that while we strive to bring down our prices to make them more affordable, we simply cannot do so without losing money. we are always forced to allocate additional 10% or so for “lagay”; otherwise our applications for permits will not move or will take many many months. if you think that graft and corruption (in any form) does not affect you, think again. the 10% budget that our company is forced to allocate, translates to more than 10% savings (including the related VAT and EWT savings) that we could have passed on gladly to our buyers. kami pa lang ito. imagine the amount of under-the-table money that other companies and those in the other industries have to pay for.

    in the end, it is the citizens who bear the costs of all these “lagay”. all things we buy, from rice, to clothes, to medicines, to cars, to houses, to fuel, … lahat yan may patong to cover the “lagay” that had to be spent by the businesses or businessmen involved (the manufacturer, the freight handler, transporter, distributor, the retailer, etc.)

    to those who think that we do not need to stamp out graft and corruption in this country, think again.

    ponder on what your money can buy if all products and services were delivered to you graft-free and corruption-free every step of the way. imagine how much better life will be for everyone if all the taxes deducted from our monthly pay are spent wisely with the filipino welfare in mind.

    there’d be better roads, cleaner pasig river, less street beggars, less sidewalk vendors, less squatters, better and free health-care, cheaper electricity, cheaper water, cheaper phone bills, better drainage system (no Ondoy-scale flooding), less rebels, less private armies, cheaper and maybe better products and services in general, more and better schools, more educated people, monthly pensions for the jobless and the retired, etc., etc.

    if you had been to developed countries where the government is known to take better care of its people, you know what i mean. if they can do it, so can we.

    the philippines is not lacking in skills, talent and intelligence. we do not need a president with such qualifications. what we need is somebody with integrity, honesty and nobility of purpose. only one of the more popular presidential cadidates has these.

    To be anti-graft and anti-corruption is to be pro-filipino. To be pro-filipino is to be pro-poor.

    A good president need not distribute bags of rice to the poor. He will make sure that all things are in place so that rice will reach the poor and at the prices they can very well afford.

    Ang masakit nito, marami sa ating mga kababayan na nakatira sa Cavite at Las Pinas ay nabubulagan sa katotohanan na ang ginawa ni villar sa C5 road project ay disadvantageous hindi lang sa government kundi sa taong bayan. Pag napaboran na nang project, di bale na kung gumastos ng pagkalaki laki ang gobyerno. Bakit, kayo lang ba ang dapat gastusan ng ganun kalaki? Naisip nyo na ba na habang kayo ay sarap na sarap sa pagmamaneho sa malawak na kalye ng walang bayad, merong mga batang walang silid aralan ang nagtitiyagang mag klase sa ilalim ng puno ng kahoy? Merong walang makain at nang lilimahid sa kahirapan? Bakit ayaw nyong magbayad ng toll? Di ba dapat parehas, pag may ginhawa, may bayad? Bakit kami nagbabayad ng toll sa SLEX at NLEX? Gusto nyo kayo lang ang libre.

    Walang masama sa libre kung walang ibang maapektuhan. Ang kaso mo, ang difference ng 6 bilyong piso na ginastos sa C5 kontra sa BOT ay malaking halaga na pwedeng gastusin para sa bagong silid aralan, gamot, pagkain, etc. para makatulong sa mga kababayan nating kapus palad.

    Ang totoo nito, ginawa ni villar ang C5 hindi para lang sa inyo kundi para din sa kanyang negosyo. Kaya nga overpriced yung right of way payment at saka lumaki ang value ng property nya eh. Di ba labag sa batas yan? Bakit ang iba sa atin ayaw pa rin maniwala?

    Sino ba ang kawawa dito? Di ba ang mahihirap? Wala naman epekto sa kabuhayan ni Winnie Monsod yan dahil maayos ang hanapbuhay nya. Ang kawawa ang taong bayan na magbabayad na naman ng buwis para sa 6 bilyon na ang nakinabang ay negosyo ni villar at ang mga nakatira sa subdivisions na nadaanan ng C5. Kawawa ang mahihirap na dapat may sapat na tulong pangkalusugan, pag aaral at iba pang social services.

    Sino ngayon ang matutulog pa rin ng gutom at walang gamot para sa mga karamdaman? Hindi si villar, hindi ang mga nabiyayaan ng C5 road project.

  26. 26benjie

    let’s vote for Noynoy na lang and unite as a people. let’s pray for God’s mercy and help.

  27. 27Ymman Dee

    Ang PERA nga naman…

    Ito ang paratang ni Joker noong 1998. Look at Joker now. He is a staunch ally of Villar — in fact, virtually lawyering Villar in the C-5 controversy. Why such a 180-degree turn? Nabili na ba si Joker ni Villar?!

    Joker, you’re such an old joker!

  28. 28Ian

    Please do not vote for Manny Villar.

  29. 29nilo sta maria

    Yung response ni Arline misses the whole point. The point is labag sa batas ang ginawa at ginagawa ni Villar, unethical pa.

  30. 30bernard

    Mr. Joker, bakit ngayon, di mo inuusig si Villar? Idol pa naman sana kita

  31. 31ulrich reinoso

    So it’s not “sipag at tiyaga” that brought wealth to Manny Villar but “irap at kapal”. He constantly choose to ignore and “irapan” the charges against him and using his “kapal ng mukha” pr firms to make him teflon to the public. Why are we Filipinos condemned to select from notorious fakes specially for the highest office of the land. Why have we allowed ourselves to believe that out of 90 million filipinos only those with money to buy votes or pedigree can lead us. TIME TO CHANGE. Let us choose the one with the dedication and perseverance to stick to the right and narrow to lead us by example.

    Noynoy, multuhin ka sana ng mga magulang mo kapag nagkamali ka sapagkat nakataya sa iyo ang kinabukasan namin. You are our last ray of hope. Pls don’t give in to the demands of your kamaganaks when the time comes. See through their intentions and always put the interest of the nation and its people first and you will not go wrong.

    Villar sayang ang pera mo dahil easy come from GFIs, easy go sa campaign. We will not let you recover that from the measly coffers of the Republic.

    Let us be vigilant of Villarroyo.

  32. 32dba

    Bakit ba nanalo pa siya sa eleksyon? ang dami na palang nilabag na batas itong si Villar pagdating ethical standards for a government official? kung nalusutan niyang lahat yon how much kung siya na ang maging presidente ng Pinas. Masyado na siyang corrupted…DO NOT VOTE FOR VILLAR!

  33. 33Dozz

    Arline, don’t give us the bu***hit you wrote. I’m sure you’re working for that crook as a facelifter.

    Manny Villar is just seeking presidency to increase his net worth of $1 Billion dollars(Forbes Magazine palang yon) and to wash off all the dirt being thrown at him which could lead to imprisonment. Have you seen his house at Salt Lake City, Utah? Akala ko Hari ng Saudi ang nakatira doon.

    Hindi na natin kelangan pa ulit ng isang Marcos, Erap, or Thaksin para guluhin pa lalo ang bansa natin. Filipinos, please vote wisely.

  34. 34Melvin

    “Tapusin ang Kahirapan” as Villar’s Message on his Campaign Add, Ano siya superhero? Baka patayin niya lahat ang mahihirap sa gutom kaya nasabi niya na tapusin ang kahirapan. Paano niya bawiin ang bilyong gastos sa campaign sa election? Syempre sa corruption din ano paba wag kayong maniwala kay Villar dont vote for him mas lalo tayong mahirap kapag siya na ang ating pangulo.

  35. 35Arline

    piNOY, kung binayaran ako ni Villar hindi ko isusulat real name ko. Ni anino ni Villar di ko pa nga nakikita eh. Binasa ko lang biography niya. Obviousy I am a fan. Ikaw nga ni hindi mo mailagay tunay mong pangalan. Tagarito ka ba sa pilipinas o taga u.s. ka? Bakit piNOY name mo? Alam ko na, Noynoy ka no? Ikaw magkano bayad sa yo ni Noynoy? Kayo lang bang maka noynoy may karapatang magsabi ng nasa isip ninyo? Hindi ako kayang bayaran. Paniniwala ko lang ang sinasabi ko.

    I say what I say after research hindi katulad ng ibang tao naniniwala sa sabi sabi. May kasabihan tayo, ang naniniwala sa sabi sabi walang bait sa sarili. Bakit ako nakarating sa webpage na ito? may nag forward sa akin ng article ni winnie monsod that says “why I will vote for noynoy” I read the whole article even the suggested websites and related articles. Ang dapat palang title ng article nya, “WHY I WILL NOT VOTE FOR VILLAR” Lahat ng comments dito against Villar. Mag isa lang ako na naiiba ang pananaw dito. I just cannot stop myself from expressing my opinion kahit na papaano.

    Do you have answers to my questions? Ang lahat ng generalizations na sinabi mo gusto nating lahat mangyari. Ang sinasabi ko particular issues that I want to be clarified.

    Arnel, pinag aralan mo bang mabuti ang tungkol sa C5 project issue? Kung maaari, pakibasa na rin ibang aricles galing sa ibang sources hindi lang lahat ng laban kay Villar. Alam mo, ako nagbabasa at naghahanap ng katotohanan kaya nga nandito ako sa website ba tawag dito? Para fair hinanap ko rin iba ibang mababasa tungkol sa C5 kasi masyadong controversial.

    Baka ikaw ang nabubulagan sa katotohanan kasi hindi mo alam karamihan ng issue tungkol sa C5.

    Paano mong nasabi overpriced ang Right Of Way at binayaran si Villar ng sobra? Alam mo ba ang Zonal valuation doon sa lugar na tinamaan o nadaanan at kung magkano binayad sa kanya? Nagbabayad ka ba ng real estate tax dito sa pinas? Kung nagbabayad ka, alam mo na may zonal valuation ang BIR sa bawat lugar. Hindi puedeng pabayaran ng DPWH ng sobra si Villar sa Right of Way dahil ang ginagamit ng gobyerno dito, zonal valuation na BIR ang may gawa. Nabasa ko yan sa isang article about C5 project. Palagay ko tama kasi ako nagbabayad din ng real estate tax, I know how it works.

    Tungkol naman sa pagbabayad ng toll, nagbabayad din kami sa SLEX and NLEX pati SCTEX. Huwag mo naman sanang gawing kanya kanya atin atin ang issue sa C5 at nakikinabang kaming taga cavite dito. Infrastructure yon na hindi lang naman taga cavite makikinabang. Napakaraming manggagawa na makikinabang ang pamilya na galing pa sa ibat ibang probinsya na nagtatrabaho o umuuwi sa south luzon. Kung may gagawing kalye o flyover sa lugar ninyo o kahit saang sulok ng pinas basta maraming taongbayan ang makikinabang, matutuwa ako.

    Walang makakawawang taong bayan dahil sa ang pondong inilaan ng gobyerno para sa infrastructure like roads, bridges etc, hindi puedeng ilipat sa education, social services, health, armed forces, etc. Sa pagkakakaalam ko, may kanya kanyang budget o pondo ang departamento ng gobyerno. Meron para sa education, sa health, armed forces etc. Ang ginamit sa C5 budget para infrastructure o para sa DPWH. Hindi naman yata puede na gamitin ang para sa roads ilipat para sa education o social services etc na katulad ng sinasabi mo. Kapag ginawa ang sinasabi mo, malversation of funds ang mangyayari.

    Bakit mo sinasabing magbabayad na naman ng buwis dahil sa C5 project? nasa budget na yan. Nandyan man yan o wala magbabayad din tayo ng buwis.

    Pag aralan natin ng masusi ang mga issues para hindi tayo kulang sa kaalaman.

  36. 36pkwong

    arline, yung daang hari at c-5 extension ay magkaibang daan. research again.

  37. 37Daing

    With all these charges, how come Villar was never prosecuted?

  38. 38proofreader

    I like this speech but please check your transcription.

    Rep. Villar chose *not* to answer the charges but he was overwhelmingly elected Speaker by this House.

  39. 39ako ito

    Walang perpektong kandidato para pagka-presidente, lahat may masasabi tayo. Ang problema sa ating mga Pilipino, kung saan tayo makikinabang, dun tayo dumidikit. Hanggang ngayon marami ang may alam ng mga katiwalian ngunit, nananatiling tahimik dahil sa takot, para sa sarili at higit sa lahat para sa kanilang pamilya. Ang mga pulitiko, hanggang imbestigasyon lang, pagkatapos nun, wala na… ni walang napaparusahan, dahil walang napapatunayan. Si Villar, puro allegations, totoo man o hindi, just one more step nasa pinakamataas na, na posisyon. Lalo ng makakatakas yan dahil may immunity na. Kailangan nating mga Pilipino ang manindigan! dapat sa atin mismo magsimula. Kung magkakaroon tayo ng dalawang magkasunod na matitinong presidente na may paninindigan na itigil ang corruption, maaaring guminhawa ang Pilipinas. Kailangan nating bumoto ng tama!

    It’s very true na magaling ang makinarya ng Malakanyang. And they wont hesitate to spend billions to help Villar just to keep their asses on place or leave their asses alone. Win-win sila kay Villar. They can still stay in power or if not, they can still do their selfish interests. Walang silang talo. Manny Villar is one of those tradpolitician who did and still doing “Silent in error, vocal in spotlight” things. And the saddest part, our country is comprise of more than half of the entire population of poor people. These people have no access to information such as these. More likely they will be duped again. Thanks high-paid PRs and their dramatic tri-media campaigns. I can see the big chance of Villar to make it in this election. Thanks also to Malacanang. They will do anything and everything to leave them alone or stay in power. Let’s hope I’m wrong.

  46. 46MaySang

    As i read along the lines of these issues, nagtataka ako bakit despite of his violations, Manny Villar still remains in his post. At tungkol sa C-5 road project w/c involves billions of pesos, why was it approved? hindi ba ito dumaan sa masusing proceso, who were the approving bodies? Siguro tama rin na maraming nakinabang dito, pero mas malaki ang pakinabang ng may mga properties sa area, like Manny Villar, something’s fishy’s going on with the GMA governance and this Mr. Villar. Bakit puro yata bulag, pipi at bingi ang mga sa senado, sayang marami pa naman ang matatalino at di prinsipyo dyan sa inyo, pero saan na kayo? Parang indespensable yata si Manny or baka may hatiang nangyari? Siguro hindi lang naman si Mr. Villar ang gumagawa ng karumaldumal na gawain sa Mahal nating Bayang Pilipinas! Kaya tuloy tingnan nyo, ni hindi maka ahon sa kahirapan ang taong bayan dahil sa mga ganitong klaseng mga politiko. Siguro, maging mapayapa at uunlad lng ang Pilipinas kung lahat-lahat na mga politiko dyan sa Senado ay mapalitan, ng mga bago, maprinsipyo, may matalas na pang amoy, malinaw na mata, malinis na tainga at malinis na bunganga. Habang nananatili dyan ang mga corrupt at wala ganang umalis sa pwesto kahit wala man lang nagawa sa bayan, pasaway at palamunin lang ng taong bayan, walang asenso ang Pinas. At nakakasuka dahil gingamit pa ang mahihirap na taong bayan na syang dahilan kung bakit nandyan sila, kung bakit tatakbo sila, kung bakit hindi sila aalis sa pwesto. They are capitalizing on the poor, at ang masaklap ay mukha yata nasisiyahan naman ang mga mahihirap na kabayan natin na gamitin sila for a hundred bucks or more? Sana matauhan na ang taong bayan na hindi toto na mawakasan ang kahirapan kung sila ang iboboto. Tayong mga mahihirap na nagbabayad ng buwis, kahit maliit lang ang pinagkikitaan, ang syang nagpapalamon at nag papayaman sa kanila. Bakit ang naka pwesto na ay walang ganang bumitiw at pagbigyan naman ang ibang gusto ring magsilbi? Bakit kapit-tuko sila… kasi nandyan ang kayamanan na di na paghirapan pa. Bakit ang talo, ayaw tanggapin ang pagkatalo, dinaya ang laging sigaw, dahil malaki ang pinuhunan? Bakit sila namuhunan ng malaki? Bakit ang kandidato sa ibang bansa pagkatapos ng eleksyon at nalaman na talo sila, wala ng maraming satsat, kamayan na lang sa nanalo, wala ng petition, recount or whatever, sa Pinas may protesta, laking abala sa iba. Gaya dito sa Japan, pagkatapos ng eleksyon, shake hands, back to normal. Siguro ang pagkakaiba kasi everybody is busy, kaya ang tao walang time makipag rally at walang suhulan, and even in their campaigns, simply lang na banners at fliers, konting alalays, they campaign on streets, people just passed by and don’t mind, walang hakot system, KAYA SILA ASENSO!!! Ay naku kababayan, gunising na tayo sa katotohanan. Iboto natin ang karapat dapat, palitan na natin ang mga walang kwentang politiko na nasa pwesto pa rin mapa hanggang ngayon, tama na, sobra na, GISING NA PINOY at may bukas ka pa! I admire Mr. Noli De Castro at hindi sya naging ambisyoso, you have a very graceful exit,Mr. Vice President, sana hwag kang tumakbo sa Barangay nyo!

  47. 47MJ

    The mere thought na magiging next president si villar, nakapanlulumo na. Kung siya na nga ang magiging presidente, walang ibang dapat sisihin kundi tayo. We deserve the government that we elect. Siguro mas maganda na lang kung magkakaron ng batas para sa mga elected officials ng bansa. Na kapag natapos ang term nila at di nila natupad yung mga ipinangako nila sa kampanya, dapat parusahan sila. Nakakaawa kasi lalo na ang mga mahigirap. Lagi na lang pinagsasamantalahan tuwing election. Laging pinapaasa na maaahon sila sa hirap.

  48. 48Jose

    No single man is powerful enough to subjugate a populace who knows its rights; only a multitude of ignorant people can be enslaved.

    Noynoy is not Cory, and definitely not Ninoy. Same with Gibo is not GMA. What assurance can we have that Nonoy will live up to the legacy (if any) of his parents? Have we forgotten who is his most celebrated sister? If good governance, honesty and all the good things they are saying about Noynoy run in the family, then we must be seeing an exception as we watch the television daily.

    Who we need is someone who could promise us change in the way government will run not only in the next six years but until the time of our children’s children.

    They say the businessman is evil and so they look up to someone as a saint because of the surname he carries. Wow! this teaches us a very shocking conclusion: in Philippine politics be mediocre and lukewarm and you will be viewed as clean. If your parents are historical figures, most likely, you have a good chance of being elected. How illogical. They are against a businessman in malacanang because he will be thinking only of profits. So, they think it is better to have an ex-president’s son as president… by reason of….. (can’t think of anything, really now). They don’t want a bar topnotcher either, because there was one once and they called him dictator.

    Why don’t we just ask every decendant of past presidents to run for presidency… we don’t know them well because they are not highly publicized, so we have nothing to accuse them of, like graft and corruption. They also have a good name to live upto.

    “let’s vote for noynoy and pray to God to have mercy”? di kaya mas kagalitan pa tayo nyan? bakit di nalng kahit sinong tumakbo iboto natin kung aasa lang din tayo sa dasal? If prayer is that powerful, and i believe it is, e di dun na tayo bumoto sa may magagawa tsaka tayo magdasal.

    We OFWs are still looking at the brighter side that one day an announcement from Malacanang Palace would lead us all OFWs to migrate back to the Philippines. A time all OFWs will no longer worry for unequal opportunity, unlawful situation, criminality and compromised security, favorable and biased rights & privileges, injustices, unequal access to social services.

    God forbid that a man like Villar will buy his way to the presidency! Noon, natakot tayo na maging presidente si Lacson dahil sa “Narco-Politics”, ngayon si Villar naman! I wonder ano naman kaya pwede tawag dito “Profilitics”!

    If Villar wins, i’am leaving the Philippines for good! i don’t want my daughter to witness this insanity. Matalino ang mga pinoy, gamitin naman natin ang ating mga isipan at ang ating mga puso na piliin ang ating iboboto sa mayo.

    Isang nakakatakot na pangitain na maging presidente si manny villar ang lahat nang sinyales na magiging pinakamagaling na corrupt na presidente ay nasa kanya na Kayang kaya nyang paikutin ang lahat nang magaling at makabayang pilipino nang dahil sa peraaa at peraa pa kasinungalin. Ayon sa balita ang bagsak na empire na kompanya nya at nang kanyang in laws ay nagawa nyang ibangon muli dahil nakapuesto siyang speaker of the house. Ayon pa din sa balita nagawa nyang umutang sa sa bangko sentral nang bilyong bilyong piso gamit ang huwad na titulo nuong panahon pa nang nang hapon na ang nagmamayari nang lupa ay ang mahihirap na pilipino from norzagaray ang c 5 road project hangang sa huling sandali ay hindi nya sinagot nang maayos humarap minsan tinakbuhan. kaya mga kababayan ko magisip kayong mabuti may alternative nandyan si noynoy although base on his political record his just only average but ang kanyang pagkatao hindi mo kayang bilhin yan ang magandang katangian ang integredad may pangalang inaalagaan. maraming salamat po.

    Dozz, ang bastos mo!!! Anong facelifter pinagsasabi mo? Why are you calling me names and accusing me of working for a crook? Is it because you are an as**ole? I dont want to stoop down to your level sana pero di ko mapalampas kabastusan mo.

    FYI,I donot have to work for anybody. My husband and I are in the health industry business. We donot meddle in politics. My mistake this time is I posted my opinion in this website. Hindi ko alam na ganitong pambabastos aabutin ko. Wala naman akong binastos. Wala naman akong pinersonal sa inyo. Hindi rin ako nag namecalling.
    Nagpaliwanag lang ako ng issues.

    Regarding the mansion in Salt Lake City, pls refer to http://www.hoax-slayer.com/robert-mugabe-mansion.shtml at baka malinawan ka. Siguro ganyan lahat ginagawa kay Villar puro tsismis walang katotohanan at kayo naman paniwala agad.

    pkwong, tama ka. Magkaibang daan nga C5 and Daang hari.Hindi ko naman sinabing isa lang yon.

    Virginia, kawawa nga pilipinas kaya si Villar iboboto ko. Paniwala ko ito at karapatan ko at magagawa ko dahil nandito ako sa pinas. Kahit ganito sa pinas masarap pa ring mamuhay sa sariling bayan.

    Hindi ko kayo masisisi kung kulang kaalaman ninyo sa issues dito sa pinas. Siempre ang source ng info ninyo TFC na pro Noynoy dahil wala sana sa kanila ABS CBN sa ngayon kung hindi dahil sa nanay ni noynoy, may she rest in peace. Its inherent among most of us Filipinos na tumanaw ng utang na loob kaya hindi rin natin masisisi ABS CBN kung pro Noynoy sila.

    Sayang hindi kayo makakaboto kay noynoy na gusto ninyo. Kahit na papaano kahit ako mag isa dito, may isang boto si Villar.

    Nakakalungkot,nagbasa lang ako ng article na na email sa akin at nag express ng naiibang opinion sa karamihan dito kung anu ano na ibintang sa akin nabastos pa ako.

    Bahala na kayong magbolahan dito. Napupuyat lang ako bukod pa sa nahihirapan akong mag type dito sa keyboard. sabihin ninyo na gusto ninyong sabihin na wala namang katuturan dahil hindi naman kayo makaboto, wala naman kayo dito.

  63. 63Dave

    politico nga naman…

    Bottom line is, what happened to all the charges that was enumerated in Arroyo’s speach?

    Was any actual charges filed?

    Senator Arroyo, what happened?

    To all readers, please email this article to all your contacts.

  64. 64Jose Dan

    I have also one vote for Noynoy like Arline for Villar.
    But I can separate the chaff from the grain – I can tell a bullshit from honesty. And obviously Arline can’t.
    The bottomline is if Villar has nothing to hide and everything he has done (that made him super-rich in so short a time; faster than the Japanese, American and European moguls) were all aboveboard – THEN HE SHOULD HAVE NOT BEEN AFRAID TO FACE ANYONE WHO WILL QUESTION HIM ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME. And Arline conveniently missed this simple point.
    As for Joker, he has to look after his own self after politics…. He has to become a little bit rich too. So he is now singing a different tune, aside from the hossanahs for GMA

  65. 65batangala

    kung gusto nya raw yumaman eh di sana bumalik na lang sha sa pagiging negosyante. kaya nga gusto nya maging presidente ay para lalong yumaman sya, he he he

  66. 66Berlin

    Noon, bow ako kay Manny Villar. Bilib na bilib ako. Yan ay noong bago pa lang siya sa Public Service. Subalit noong siya ay naka-puwesto na. Unti-unting lumilitaw na ang malaki niyang sungay at buntot. At itong darating na 2010 Election, na kung saan siya ay tatakbong Presidente – dito na mabubuo ang kanyang tunay na anyo. Kung baga ay fully transformed na siya. May Pak-pak at pangil na rin.

    Mahal kung kababayan, huwag kayong pabobola sa malalaki nilang advertisement sa TV at Radyo. Sapagkat tayo ang mag-hihirap sa bandang huli.

    Kaya, iboto ang totoong public servant na hindi magnanakaw. Hindi siya kailangan magaling at matalino, basta may takot sa DIYOS at may integridad ay sapat na para sa akin.

    MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS! GOD BLESS PHILIPPINES!

  67. 67Joey

    It is good that the stand of Joker Arroyo before about Manny Villar is being put again in the spotlight. His 360 degree turaround is not only shameful but opportunistic. Nakakasopog ka Joker sa mga Bicolano!!!!

    And to think that Joker was the former Executive Secretary of Cory, and the lawyer of Noynoy….

    Joker, how many pieces of silver…are you worth? sayang kung tutularan ka ng mga Kabataang Pilipino sa iyong paninindigan.

  68. 68gambit

    agree to arline many comments…
    sakit tlga ng pinoy ang humusga based on hearsays…
    kaya nga walang asenso e…
    look pagdating sa ibang bansa..sila sila din nagsisiraan…galit-galit, kse mahilig manira ng kapwa…

    anyway, im voting for NOynoy, based on Winnie monsod’s statement…
    wala man ako sa atin ngayon, uuwi naman ako pra bumoto, makadagdag man lng sa pagboto kay Noynoy

  69. 69roger victorio

    isiping ninyong mabuti ang pinagsasabi ninyo bago kayo mag accused ng isang tao. kahit sinong ilagay ninyong presidente d tayo makakabangon dahil karamihan sa atin walang disiplina. iyon langg po.

  70. 70roger victorio

  71. 71rogue

    sabihin na nyo kung ano ang gusto nyong sabihin, basta ako kay noynoy pa rin. sa aking opinion, hindi nya sisirain kung anuman ang nasimulan ng kanyang mga magulang at may malinis na record sa lahat ng mga kandidato. Isantabi muna natin ang ating mga personal na interest. ang isipin natin ay ang magiging kinabukasan ng ating mga susunod henerasyon.For Noynoy keep it up, go straight… suportahan ka namin…I trusted you/We trusted you, na sa pamamagitan mo ay maayos ang bansa natin katulong mo kami….ang tanging hiling ko lang sa iyo ay magkaroon ka ng isang instrument na kung saan ay madali ka naming makakausap/malalapitan ng taong bayan hindi lamang sa personal na balitaktakan…an open communication ba para sa ating mga kababayan kagaya ng isang website na kung saan ikaw ang may access nang sa ganun ay malaman kung ano ang mga kahilingan ng iyong mga kababayan at mga problemang kanilang kinahaharapan at sa ganun din naman ay malaman ang mga taong may masamang hangarin para sa bayan.

    Manny Villar..give me the Money!

    The issue against Villar is valid and serious. Every Filipino should examine their conscience and determine deep in their heart if he/she will allow this man to lord it over this land with impunity and greed.

    What will stop him if he is the president from amending the Constitution and allow foreigners to own land/ What will stop him from cornering all prime lands for his real estate development. If he can flaunt the law, and violate laws without blinking an eye now, what do you think is he capable of if he is the president?

  73. 73june

    sana this time matuto na po tayong mga pilipino na pumili ng tapat at malinis na kandidato para sa ating bayan, wag po tayong padala sa kanilang mga tv n radio propoagandas.
    GOD BLESS PHILIPPINES. . .

  74. 74Jose Dan

    Another point against Villar: he’s a congenital liar. He claims to be from poor family but both his parents were working and he studied in a private school (MIT pa yata ang HS) and he is pro-poor, having been from Tondo. If he was such, how come he has not done anything for the poor – with his millions of lots and houses, he could have have built a low cost subdivision for the poor of Tondo. All he has given away were a few houses through Wowowee but the value of exposure he derived from the process was worth more than the value of the houses he has given. He is really one astute operator that he will definitely get back what he will spend for the elections should he become the next president, plus all the tubo (multiplied how many times?).

  75. 75Argie

    lahat na kay villar na, bilyong bilyong salapi kaya ang aim naman nya ngayon ay absolute power na makukuha nya pag presidente na siya. nakakakilabot isipin kung ano pa ang pwede nyang gawin na hindi pa nagawa ni pgma. lalo na at obvious naman na magkakutsaba na sila. sa lahat na lang nakikipag-deal si villar masigurado lang na manalo siya. hanggang ngayon di pa rin kasama sa plano namin umalis ng pinas pero siguro pag nanalo si villar, paalam na talaga kami. di ko rin kaya na makita pa ng anak ko kung paano bumagsak ang mga prinsipyo at paniniwala ng mga tao dahil sa paggamit ng mga katulad ni villar sa pera para lamang umusad ang pansarili nilang balak.

    marami na ang magagaling kuno na tao na namuno sa pilipinas pero sa pagkakataong ito, kailangan hindi lang galing ang hanapin kundi integridad ng pagkatao at pagiging simple. hindi yung mga negosyanteng magaling nga pero ang tingin naman sa bansa ay isang negosyo din na ikakalakal para sa pansarili nilang kagustuhan at interes. please sana naman, hindi manalo si villar.. kawawa ang bayan natin kung tulad ni villar ang susunod kay gma. sa pagkakataong ito, wala na talaga tayong pag asa pag nagkaganon.

  76. 76Botante Ako

    Sana matauhan na tayo lahat..maging informed voters sana tayo sa darating na election..Tayong mga Pinoy daw ay may short memory..Hot ang issue ngayon bukas limot na..sana sa darating na eleksyon magbuklod buklod tayo, magkaisa, kahit iba iba ang choices natin..simulan natin sa sarili natin..and let’s ask our Almighty God for guidance.. Filipinos are destined to be a great race..we just have to accept it..

  77. 77Dodong

    Arline. Don’t underestimate the influence of this folks living abroad..Its true we can not vote but our relatives will listen to us because they knew we’re on the neutral side…we call it as we see it..we didnt owe a thing to any of these candidates and gain nothing to whomever wins..and as far as we can see, VILLAR is next or maybe in the same plane as ERAP as the worst candidate..

  78. 78del

    any info on gibo…he he he

  79. 79Rene

    Ang tao nga naman ang daling manghusga kahit ang ebidensiya at hearsay lang. Remember its election time maraming lalabas na mga “character assasinator” ang laki yata ng pera dyan lalo na may media access ka. I dont wnat to name names but marami talaga. Nasa media, nasa press, nasa senado at kongreso, minsan nga nasa tabi lang ng kakandidato yung sisira sa kanya. I called them AHAS or ANAY.

  80. 80Nuhj

    Arline,

    Yes, we understand that you have your own freedom and rights..right to express yourself and your opinion. But this should not let you be blinded on the real issues. Bakit di mo tingnang mabuti the both sides of the coin. Talaga bang malinis yang iniidolo mo? Lahat ba ng allegations against him ay walang katotohanan? Dahil sa panahon ngayon, ang kelangan ng Pilipinas ay isang malinis na lider at hindi nagmamalinis! Let’s not forget the saying that “you cannot serve 2 Lords at one time!” He can’t be a politician and a bussiness man (president/chairman) at the same time..Sabi nga ni Joker..that’s a prize to pay..

    And lastly, can you check pls kung kelan lumobo ng sobra yong assets ni Villar? Baka ma-amaze ka na it was when and during his tenure as government official.

  81. 81Manny Villar

    yes arline,you may be blinded or your research is not enough, you only believe on whay you want to believe as a fan of ME (MANNY VILLAR) AND THATS IGNORANCE, kahit na hind masyado nakapag-aral e alam kung ano ang ginawa KO, nuon pa planado na ang lahat, as a businessman, I can see a POTENTIAL, I bought the land at a lower cost and will sell it later. But how can I sell it the price I want? Simple, be a legislator! How can i be put in jail if the justice system here can be bought? I have money to buy those justices. Joker Arroyo’s big mouth? well I just simply zipped it with my money, now we are friends! Can’t you see, my name is MANNY, sounds like MONEY, and I know better how to use my MONEY.It is not only MONEY what I want, I lied when I say na “magbisnis na lang ako kung gusto ko yumaman” ITS POWER! I have so much MONEY, BUT LOOK, THERES STILL MANY WHO CRITICIZES ME, WHAT IS LACKING IN ME IS POWER! ABSOLUTE POWER! VOTE FOR ME AND I WILL WELCOME YOU TO HELL!

  82. 82A.M.A..

    Matagal ko ng naintindihan ang kawalanghiyaan at kasakiman ng Villar na iyan, wala lang akong magawa kundi ang ikuwento sa mga kakilala ko ang mga iyon at magngitngit na lang. Nakakahiya sina Michael V., Dolphy at Willie Revillame; mga walang prinsipyo, mga mukhang pera. Sana ay maipakulong si Villar at lahat ng pamilya ni GMA at lahat ng walanghiyang alipores niya lalung lalo na si Merceditas Gutierrez kapag nanalo si Noynoy.

  83. 83pedro

    kung pinili ni arline si villar na magiging presidente ng pilipinas, karapatan nya yan… villar man o noynoy, magbabago kaya ang pilipinas? hanggat kulang tayong mga pilipino sa disiplina sa tingin ko manitaling ganito ang ating pilipinas.

  84. 84Noel J

    THIS IS A PERENNIAL AND REDUNDANT ISSUES AGAINST OUR POLITICIANS LIKE MANNY VILLAR. AND WHAT HAPPENED AFTER HIS STINT IN CONGRESS? HE WAS EVEN VOTED SENATOR AND AMAZINGLY BECAME THE SENATE PRESIDENT. ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES! WE FILIPINOS CAN’T LEARN OUR LESSONS OF HISTORY, SIMPLY HAVE SHORT MEMORIES OR HAS THAT NASTY HABIT OF INCESSANTLY HURTING OURSELVES LIKE MASOCHIST. UNLESS AND UNTIL THE FILIPINO MASSES ARE ADEQUATELY EDUCATED, WE SHALL CONTINUE TO BEAR LEADERS OF THIS KIND. LOOK AT OUR POLITICAL ROSTER, THEY CARRY PROMINENT NAMES – THE SAME DOGS WEARING DIFFERENT COLLARS LAPPING UP AND YAPPING FOR OUR VOTES…WHY? BECAUSE IT’S EITHER MOST OF OUR VOTERS ARE EASILY LURED BY THE COLOR OF MONEY OR WE ARE SCARED TO TRY OTHER CANDIDATES. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO RAUL ROCO? HIS CAUSE DIED WITH HIM…ANYWAY, THAT’S OUR LOSS, NOT HIS. FILIPINOS, IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP FROM DEEP SLUMBER! IT’S TIME TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT LIKE THE AMERICANS WHO HAVE TRIED OBAMA, WE TOO ARE WILLING INVEST IN THE FUTURE OF THIS NATION. I WILL NOT ENDORSE ANY CANDIDATE TO VOTE FOR, NOT WITH ALL THEIR FLAWS, BUT PLEASE, CHOOSE WISELY….OR BETTER YET, CHOOSE THE LESSER EVIL.

  85. 85mudra

    PLEASE DON’T FOR VILLAR! Hwag tayong padadala sa kanyang mga kasinungalingan, #1 LIAR sya. Tama ang sabi ni Winnie na hindi dapat maging presidente ang isang buinessman dahil ang interes ay sa pagpapalago ng pera niya lang at hindi sa paglilingkod sa taongbayan. Maawa tayo sa ating mga anak at ang magiging anak din nila, sila ang mag dudusa at lalo silang mababaon sa hirap. IBOTO NATIN ANG TUNAY NA MAY MALASAKIT SA FUTURE NG ATING MGA ANAK.

  86. 86ellen mariano

    I have voted for Joker Arroyo many times and I do not want to believe that he has sold his principles… will somebody please confirm if the statesman is already demented because of his age?! No way on earth will I vote for Villar and I hope you won’t…

  87. 87Lanie

    All i know Noynoy is the right president, and right person to be sit in malacañang. . . no one but NOYNOY AQUINO

  88. 88Bart-Bebeng

    Akala ko sa foreign tv series at comics lang nagyayari ito.
    Yung merong mga unexplainable and intriguing plots tapos meron palang bigger “story arcs” na mari-realize pa lang ng audience sa huli!

    reminds me of Alias (TV) and X-Men (comics)… but the scary part is that unlike the tv shows na nanonood lang tayo, we are ACTUALLY directly affected by the outcome. PAKSHET!

    [Binabati ko nga pala ang nanay ko. MA! GET WELL SOON. hehe]

  89. 89Jp2010

    Naku mga kabayan! napakalaking malas ang mangyayari sa mga pinoy pag si Villar ang maging presidente ng Pinas. Kaya by all means we should never make this bad omen happen to us again.

  90. 90Nene

    Arline, biography ni villar ang binasa mo naging fan ka na? Hindi lang yon ang dapat maging basihan mo para hangaan ang isang tao…sana alamin mo rin ang totoong ginawa at ginagawa nila sa actual na buhay…baka magulat ka… basta maniwala ka, nakakatakot manalo si villar…isa po ako sa nakakakilala sa kanila…basta please ‘wag natin hayaan manalo si villar…maawa po kayo sa ating lugmok at naghihirap na bansang PILIPINA…

  91. 91Nene

    Sorry, na-omit ko ang “S” sa “PILIPINAS”

  92. 92Bogs Reyes

    Given what has been presented, although the timing may seem a bit off, this does not absolve the accused of answering, or lack there of, to these ludicrous things he has done to OUR money. What Villar has done to us is as plain as day…he has used the money we’ve worked for to make himself richer. The vanity of this man is absolutely immeasureable.

    His government instead of being by the people – of the people and for the people has become:

    BUY the people – OFF the people – FOOL the people

  93. 93Nene

    gambit, sorry, pero hindi hearsays ang mga anomalya ni villar, but FACTS, those were proven…but thank God you are not voting for him…thank you…

  94. 94tsikenman

    i just saw my payslip…

    this coming from a member of the working class such as myself…

    i want my tax money to be in the hands of some1 who’d put this to good use.

    this coming election should be our voice of conviction pra sa mga taong walang pakundangang nilulustay ang mga pinaghihirapan ntin sa araw2x.

    i like to address ths comment to the one and only arline who posted comment on pro villar.

    though we are in overseas but i want to make clear to your ignorance we do can vote from the country where we are, as we are registered here. and in the country to where i was we are solid NoyPinoy for president, hindi kmi mahihirap para maloko ni villar, naawa kmi sa ating mga kababayan sa pinas na nakita na nila ang lahat na katuwalian ni villar nag bulag bulagan pa din we are voting for NoyNoy to let him continue the unfinished job that his father NinOy left behind through NoyNoy the impossible dream may now be possible……and those who comment againts kris aquino be thankful that you have a a good family of your own, everyone wishes for that only then kris is not that lucky as we thought she was for being once a presidential daughter but she is too good enough to believed people in the person of philip salvador had just ruined her well being and the respectable aquino famuly, as someone says kris is not the mainperson here so pls spare her frm all your accusations we are all human and all bound to commit mistakes. i am not a fun and i don’t even watch her shows.

    to arline you may not rec’d anything frm villar now maybe ths your way of getting it…..i am also from cavite but i am not comfortable passing with the C5 extension in behalf of our kababayans who has nothing to eat, the 6 billion peso budget for C5 project is good enough to give kabuhayan sa ating mga kapuspalad na kababayan, but b/c of his self vested interst to gain more buyers frm all his realty business he used the government to finance is selfish ambition.

    God Bless Philippines, only once every 6 years we got the chance, and the chance is here ,Bless all filipino to cast and watch thier vote for a rightful leader, Pls spare us for another corrupt president, being your only highest christian population in asia. AMEN

    Roger Victoriano is right. The root cause of these problems is self-discipline. if all politicians has it, there couldn’t be a problem or if there is only minimal. Sa aking obserbasyon, karamihan sa mga Pilipino ay wala nito. Sa napakasimpleng pagtatapon ng basura sa kung saan-saan, sa kalye, sa labas ng bus kung bumibiyahe at kung saan mang lugar naroon. Subukan mong suwayin o pagsabihan ang taong makikita mo na magtatapon ng upos ng sigarilyo o balat ng kendi kung saan man, ano isasagot nila sayo? Sasagutin ka nila ng “Mind your own business” o kaya naman “Ano ang trabaho ng mga metro aide”. Ang mga Pilipino, karamihan, ang pagkakaalam nila ay basurahan nalang lahat ng paligid kaya pagkatapos kumain ng chichiria habang naglalakad, itatapon nalang sa kalye o iwanan nalang ang pinagkainan umaasang may pupulot o maglilinis dun. Mga kababayan wag ganun. Ako, pag bumibili ako ng isa o dalawang item sa grocery, hindi ko na siya ipinapaplastic. Hinahawakan ko nalang. Try mo bumili ng isang sachete ng kape sa Ministop, iplaplastic yun ng store crew kahit puede mo naman hawakan nalang o ibulsa. The store crew together with the buyer here has no self discipline. That’s only my observation. This is true also to politicians which we are blaming and the worse, we are all expecting them to make a beeter Philippines when in fact we are not yet sure if Noynoy wins, he can make a Philippines, nor Villar can. Let’s say today is June 30, and Noynoy was proclaimed as President, what will happen six years and beyond? He can’t start or ignite the change we are all expecting. He can’t and he just can’t do it alone. All Filipinos should be responsible enough. Oi, kung may nakita naman kayo na mali na ang kanyang ginagawa, do not mind your own business naman. Pagsabihan niyo na “Oi wag mo nang uuliting magtapon ng basura kung saan saan ha!” mga ganung kasimpleng bagay lang. Kung lahat tayo ay disciplined at hindi nalang puro asa, asa, asa sa mga pangulo at magiging pangulo sa bansang ating kinabibilangan, hindi kailanman mangyayari ang ineexpect ninyong change.

    I believe this writings of Winnie Monsod is also work of great PR. Sayang, iniidolo ko pa naman siya sa mga presidential forums na hinohost niya. Arline is right, ang title ng kanyang opinion ay dapat “Why I will Not Vote For Villar” and not “Why I will Vote For Noynoy”. To all bloggers who read this writings, be intelligent naman, just don’t accuse a person with the hearsay basis and the worse, ibinabase niyo lang sa mga pure comments and fully opinionated dito. Make some research din and be professional to comment. Do not influence others just because you were influence by this opinion. Equip yourself with sufficient knowledge. Tingnan niyo nga yang privilege speech ni Senator Joker Arroyo which is 1998 pa yan and then look at Sen. Arroyo now? Di ba ally na siya ni Villar and they are friends.

    I also agree to Gilbert Remulla when he said “Characteristics of parents is not hereditary”. Si Noynoy walang conviction, ni wala nga siyang plans na maging president ng Pilipinas not after the death of his mother. Nakuha lang siya sa sugsog. Although I believe Noynoy was raise as a good child in a good family, are we sure he can make the change, uplift the poor etc etc etc na inaasahan niyo sa kanya. Isa pang sakit kasi nating mga Pilipino yan ang puro asa nalang tuwing election. Iaasa ang lahat sa mga public servants kesyo ang rason nagbabayad sila ng tax kaya dapat lang silang pagsilbihan ni Gloria ng maayos etc. Ask it from yourself, just do the right thing. Start it from yourself. Kahit walang pangulo kung lahat ng Pilipino ay disiplinado, I think magiging maayos naman ang lahat. Sa tingin niyo ba kahit presidente si Noynoy ay wala ng kurakot? Gaano kayo nakakasiguro na maiiwasan ang kurakot sa bansa pag siya na ang pangulo? Vote for your own. Kung si Villar ang nanalong President ng Pilipinas, all people who commented here, go to Jupiter or somewhere in the moon. Dun na kayo mag-stay, isama niyo si Noynoy niyo. Gumawa kayo ng sarili niyong Pilipinas. Hahahaha!

    We have all this right to vote, you have your own hands to shadow the circles of your choice on that ballot. Whoever wins after election, we can not guarantee that thses problems we are facing can be solve and the naked fact that election is not the answer to all these problems but only SELF DISCIPLINE of every Filipino.

    Roger Victorio is right. The root cause of these problems is self-discipline. if all politicians has it, there couldn’t be a problem or if there is only minimal. Sa aking obserbasyon, karamihan sa mga Pilipino ay wala nito. Sa napakasimpleng pagtatapon ng basura sa kung saan-saan, sa kalye, sa labas ng bus kung bumibiyahe at kung saan mang lugar naroon. Subukan mong suwayin o pagsabihan ang taong makikita mo na magtatapon ng upos ng sigarilyo o balat ng kendi kung saan man, ano isasagot nila sayo? Sasagutin ka nila ng “Mind your own business” o kaya naman “Ano ang trabaho ng mga metro aide”. Ang mga Pilipino, karamihan, ang pagkakaalam nila ay basurahan nalang lahat ng paligid kaya pagkatapos kumain ng chichiria habang naglalakad, itatapon nalang sa kalye o iwanan nalang ang pinagkainan umaasang may pupulot o maglilinis dun. Mga kababayan wag ganun. Ako, pag bumibili ako ng isa o dalawang item sa grocery, hindi ko na siya ipinapaplastic. Hinahawakan ko nalang. Try mo bumili ng isang sachete ng kape sa Ministop, iplaplastic yun ng store crew kahit puede mo naman hawakan nalang o ibulsa. The store crew together with the buyer here has no self discipline. That’s only my observation.

    This is true also to politicians which we are blaming and the worse, we are all expecting them to make a better Philippines when in fact we are not yet sure if Noynoy wins, he can make a better Philippines, nor Villar can. Let’s say today is June 30, and Noynoy was proclaimed as President, what will happen six years and beyond? He can’t start or ignite the change we are all expecting. He can’t and he just can’t do it alone. All Filipinos should be responsible enough. Oi, kung may nakita naman kayo na mali na ang kanyang ginagawa, do not mind your own business naman. Pagsabihan niyo na “Oi wag mo nang uuliting magtapon ng basura kung saan saan ha!” mga ganung kasimpleng bagay lang. Kung lahat tayo ay disciplined at hindi nalang puro asa, asa, asa sa mga pangulo at magiging pangulo sa bansang ating kinabibilangan, hindi kailanman mangyayari ang ineexpect ninyong change.

    I believe this writings of Winnie Monsod is also work of great PR. Sayang, iniidolo ko pa naman siya sa mga presidential forums na hinohost niya. Arline is right, ang title ng kanyang opinion ay dapat “Why I will Not Vote For Villar” and not “Why I will Vote For Noynoy”. To all bloggers who read this writings, be intelligent naman, just don’t accuse a person with the hearsay basis and the worse, ibinabase niyo lang sa mga pure comments and fully opinionated dito. Make some research din and be professional to comment. Do not influence others just because you were influence by this opinion. Equip yourself with sufficient knowledge. Tingnan niyo nga yang privilege speech ni Senator Joker Arroyo which is 1998 pa yan and then look at Sen. Arroyo now? Di ba ally na siya ni Villar and they are friends.

    I also agree to Gilbert Remulla when he said “Characteristics of parents is not hereditary”. Si Noynoy walang conviction, ni wala nga siyang plans na maging president ng Pilipinas not after the death of his mother. Nakuha lang siya sa sugsog. Although I believe Noynoy was raise as a good child in a good family, are we sure he can make the change, uplift the poor etc etc etc na inaasahan niyo sa kanya. Isa pang sakit kasi nating mga Pilipino yan ang puro asa nalang tuwing election. Iaasa ang lahat sa mga public servants kesyo ang rason nagbabayad sila ng tax kaya dapat lang silang pagsilbihan ni Gloria ng maayos etc. Ask it from yourself, just do the right thing. Start it from yourself. Kahit walang pangulo kung lahat ng Pilipino ay disiplinado, I think magiging maayos naman ang lahat. Sa tingin niyo ba kahit presidente si Noynoy ay wala ng kurakot? Gaano kayo nakakasiguro na maiiwasan ang kurakot sa bansa pag siya na ang pangulo? Vote for your own. Kung si Villar ang nanalong President ng Pilipinas, all people who commented here, go to Jupiter or somewhere in the moon. Dun na kayo mag-stay, isama niyo si Noynoy niyo. Gumawa kayo ng sarili niyong Pilipinas. Hahahaha!

    We have all this right to vote, you have your own hands to shade the circles of your choice on that ballot. Whoever wins after election, we can not guarantee that thses problems we are facing can be solve and the naked fact that election is not the answer to all these problems but only SELF DISCIPLINE of every Filipino.

  104. 104wise voter

    am an active voter and i exercise my right to vote every election.yes, villar is all the subject here but please my fellow filipinos, whoever wins this important position of our beloved country please support our elected president..they are no superhero here that in a snap of a finger we will be as progressive as our neighboring countries. be vigilant but supporting the government will walk us through our kaginhawahan.
    God Bless The Philippines!

  106. 106Arnel

    Arline,

    Pasensya ka na at hindi ko agad nasagot ang mga tanong mo. Ngayon ko lang nabasa ito dahil out of town ako at kalalapag ko lang kanina sa NAIA.

    Binanggit ko yan dahil nadismaya ako ng makita ko mula sa bintana ng eroplano na meron na namang malaking bagong subdivision ang ginagawa sa mga dating palayan. Siguro bandang Cavite yan kasi ang landing approach namin ay from Manila Bay. Hindi ko alam kung kay Villar yan pero kung kaninuman, para sa akin isang malaking kamalian yan at paglabag sa batas ng kalikasan.

    Bakit tayo binabaha? Bakit marami sa atin ang may allergic reaction sa pollen ng mga halaman? Isa sa mga sagot dyan ay ang walang tuos na pagsemento ng mga natural na sumisipsip ng tubig ulan. Ang mga pollen na dapat natural na sasama sa lupa ay paikot-ikot sa hangin dahil kulang na ang lupa, puro semento na. Siguro alam mo yan dahil nasa medical profession ka pala.

    Sana isipin din natin na malamang kung manalo si Villar magpapatuloy ang ganitong mga proyekto.

    Ang mga low cost housing sa area ng Cavite, Bulakan, Rizal at iba pa, para sa akin ay isang malaking kamalian. Tumira din ako sa Cavite at alam ko kung gaano kahirap ang byahe papuntang Manila. Suma tutal, ang dapat low cost ay nagiging high cost dahil sa laki ng gastos sa gasolina at sa opportunity cost dahil sa tagal ng biyahe.

    Ang dapat na low cost housing ay ang katulad ng BLISS housing projects kung saan pataas ang development, hindi palapad para konti lang ang nasesementong lupa. Hindi pa kakailanganing lumayo sa lugar na pinagtratrabahuhan kaya menos sa pamasahe, menos sa pagsunog ng gasolina.

    Ang masakit nito, ang daming supposedly low cost housing projects ang ginagawa ng mga kompanya ni Villar at iba pang developers sa mga probinsiya. Ang dating agricultural land, iba nga bundok pa ay pinapatag para gawing subdivision.

    Pasensya na at wala akong time para mag research sa lahat ng detalye pero hindi pikit ang mata ko sa katotohanan na nakikita ko sa araw araw. Una, ang pinagbasehan ko ng pagsasabi na overpriced ang Right of Way ay ang Senate Report at articles attributed to Winnie Monsod and many other writers. Ang Senado ay isang Constitutional Body na hindi pwedeng mag falsify ng mga dokumento, sabi nga ni Sen. Madrigal, they have 900 + documents to prove the culpability of Sen. Villar. Since mahilig ka rin lang mag-research, why not prove otherwise.

    Naiintindihan ko yang zonal valuation, but don’t you think it’s striking na ang zonal valuation ng mga properties ni Villar ay mas mataas kumpara sa ibang subdivisions na hindi pag-aari ni Villar? Kung may time ka, please show proof na walang anomaly dun, then i will gladly admit na nagkamali ako sa paniniwala ko.

    Tungkol dun sa sinabi mo na ang budget allocation na para sa infrastructure ay hindi pwedeng ilipat sa social services, tama ka dun, pag approve na ang budget. Ang point ko dun ay sino ba ang nag-insert ng budget para sa C5 extension kahit meron nang BOT? Di ba si Villar? Kung talagang para sa mahirap sya, dapat ang ginawa nyang insertion ay sa budget ng PGH, DSWD, DOH, DECS at hindi sa DPWH dahil meron na ngang BOT project. Di pa ba obvious kung para kanino sya, kailangan pa bang i-memorize yan?

    Oo nga talaga namang magbabayad tayo ng buwis para sa dagdag na P6 bilyon, pero what i am trying to say is set the priorities right. Sa totoo lang, ako mismo ay makikinabang sa C5 Ext. na yan dahil taga South NCR din ako pero ang hindi ko maatim ay ang magastusan ang gobyerno at taong bayan ng hindi naman dapat dahil may BOT na nga eh. Oo nga, in the long run, mas mahal lalabas ang BOT pero ang dapat lang mag-shoulder nun e tayo na gumagamit ng magandang kalye, hindi si Juan Dela Cruz na nakatira sa Aurora Province kung saan ang daan patungo dun ay sira-sira.

    Sana mabasa mo pa itong sagot ko at tingnan ang issue sa punto de vista ng ibang tao dahil sa tema ng salita mo ay ayaw mo nang makipagpalitan ng opinyon. Naiintindihan kita dahil marami sa mga kaopisina ko ay nagsasabi na malaking ginhawa ang C5 Ext. Pero marami din sa kanila ang nauunawaan na merong maling ginawa si Villar sa C5 Ext. Project.

  107. 107rene

    I would have voted for the team of the transformers, but to do so is to make villar win over Noynoy. Noynoy may be a little laid back, but I am praying that he assembles a formidable team of value driven transformer/cabinet. Let us not forget to ask for Divine assist in this crucial moment of national decision. He will help if asked sincerely.Lord deliver our nation from untruthful, violent and unrighteous leaders and give us leaders we can look up to and emulate.

    the case against then speaker villar did not progress because majority of the house members were crocs. and they support the biggest of them all who can make them happy. the scary thing about a guy like manny villar is be believes everyone is for sale (and usually is right). that’s why even people like satur ocampo are now with him. not surprise with loren legarda who was always after her own interests whatever the cost.
    i agree that electing mr. “sipag at tiyaga” (magnakaw) will be like electing the offspring between gma and marcos!

    Arline,
    “Opinions are like armpits, everybody has them, but most of them stinks!”

    How much did Villar paid the following?

    Willie Revillame – P50-M
    Dolphy – P20-M

    Villar is a businessman. To save some money, he reserved the air time of all his ads 3 yrs ago to get a big discount. (wise!). Which means atleast 3 yrs ago, this was all planned for.

    I don’t know who to vote for. I have not decided yet. But if i will base it on “Lesser Evil” philisophy. I’ll definitely vote for Noynoy. Noynoy and Villar are the only true Presidentiables. The rest are eligible, but no chances of winning. So if you are still undecided, VOTE FOR NOYNOY!

  114. 114malakamazi

    Matindi talaga ang pagnanais na makopo ni G. Villar ang pang-aabuso sa ating mga Filipino…Kayang kaya kasi niyang paikut-ikutan ang mga kapwa niya pulitiko…Biro mo, 1992-98 pa pala ang pang-aabuso niya sa tungkuling, hindi man lang magawa ng mga inihalal ng Bayan. Ngayon, umabot pa sa senado at nagka-C5 isyu na naman…naikutan din niya ang Senado at tuloy naiputan sa ulo ang publiko. Kung mananalo siya bilang Pangulo ng Pilipinas…kaawaan nawa Tayo ng Poong Maykapal…baka BUONG BANSA NA ang angkinin niya!!!

    Just be aware..and open your hearts..dont be fooled by Villar..avoiding issues that concerns his personality..and his so many mentioned above anomalies..is not fair..how can he address the concerns/issues of the poor..when he cannot answer his own issues..poor us if he wins the presidential race..another 6 yrs of sufferings of selfish government..and the poor will be more poorer…the gap between the rich and the poor will be bigger..wider…so please think ,pray and decide with your heart, not with what you received during the campaign period..that little amount will be paid for life…not just by our chidren but the great grandchildren of our grandchildren..

    kaya wag iboto si villar! nagpapanggap na mahirap…

    matagal nang inaabuso ng mga politico lalo na si Villar ang kanilang posisyon para sa personal na pakinabang. lumang tugtugin. ngunit di dapat tayong mahimbing dahil pag naging pangulo si villar ay masahol pa kay gma at marcos ang magiging rehimen niya. kawawang bayang pilipinas!!! gising na!!!

    Guys, I am not Pro Villar (DEFINITELY!!!!) but the circulating emails about him were hoaxes 1) yun tungkol sa bahay sa salt lake, utah : http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/02/24/10/pictures-villars-us-mansion-hoax 2)yun tungkol sa circulating article about winnie monsod “why i will vote for noynoy”: http://www.juancountry.com/winnie-monsod-denies-writing-why-i-will-vote-for-noynoy-e-mail-article/ so next time, we have to try to verify if these emails reaching us have truth in it. It helps raise our awareness as a people. I have read the rsponses to this thread and it really is encouraging to know that people ARE NOT APATHETIC. That we still do care. Frankly, i do not know if I will still believe in surveys or not. If I will quote the article that brought majority of us to this page, I can say that I, too, “am terrified at the prospect” of a power & money hungry individual winning. Lets all continue to research, read be aware. Sa totoo lang, tayo tayo lang din ang makakatulong sa mga sarili naten para umunlad.

  124. 124jake

    Hey! Karamihan sa ating “PUBLIC SERVANTS” KUNO ay nanatili sa pwesto dahil nagagamit nila ang kanilang pwesto for there BUSINESS INTEREST, legal man o hindi. Hindi man sila nangungurakot sa kaban ng bayan, they use their influence to increase there assets. Like Erap’s jueteng fiasco. HINDI NAIIBA SI Manny “the MONEY” Villar… Come-on arline, maaring may point ka. Pero masasabi mo bang malinis si VIllar? I’m from cavite (orig ito… mula sa ninuno ko) and I saw the good developments that happened with the help of Villar’s. Pero garapal yung C5 extention. Have you seen the original C5 extension map and the one Mr. Money push for?… It defines logic na dapat iikot ang daan kesa mas daretcho! At ang katotohanan, nadaanan ang mga properties ni Villar dahil sa pagbabago.

    Magaling si Villar kung magaling. Yumaman ka ba naman ng ganon siguradong mautak ka. Pero yumaman ba sya sa tamang paraan? Maaring nung una “OO” pero in this recent past, “HINDI”!

    Ang tanong? Sa tingin nyo may nilabag ba na batas si Villar? Lalo ba syang yumaman dahil sa pwesto katulad ni GMA? Babalik na lang daw sya sa pagiging negosyante kung gustong pa niyang magpayaman….. Umalis ba sya sa pagiging NEGOSYANTE?

    Let’s make it clear. Di ako anti-Villar, but I’m not Pro-villar. Meron ding maling balitang binabato kay Villar like the Mansion in UTAH. Na hindi kanya at gawa-gawa lang.

    This coming election. Let’s just choose the lesser evil or someone with clean record to run our country. Hindi natin kailangan ng sobrang talino, magaling sa negosyo or galing sa hirap. Kailangan natin ng leader na may mataas na moral standards. Gising PINOY!

    Hello Guys!

    Luma na nga ang speech na ito ni Ka Joker pero if he did this speech during those times for sure may basehan ang kanyang mga allegations. Di ka naman cguro basta na lang magsasalita at magbebentang kung wala kang pruweba.

    I am one of the millions who purchased a property from Crown Asia ( formerly Communities Philippines) and I signed the contract last 2001, I fully paid the property in 2006 but unfortunately up to now SENATOR VILLAR’s company cannot give my LAND TITLE, why? Because na-bankrupt ang National Homes Financing B_ll_hit na yan and when I checked and researched about my property only then I got to know that they have sold it previously to another person, who then got this same property financed by National Homes.

    In short naloko ako at niloloko pa rin hanggang ngayon ng VILLAR COMPANY na ito. Mahirap po maging OFW, malayo sa mahal sa buhay tapos ang hirap din makisama sa kapwa natin PINOY abroad, higit sa lahat ang sakit ng mga panlalamang ng mga ibang lahi sa ating mga PINOY.

    I will definitely NOT VOTE FOR VILLAR! at mahirap din humusga para kay NOYNOY kasi di ko nakitaan ng dedication at conviction when he was still a senator.

    REaction ko lang kay ARLINE: Do not get me wrong ha, di kita pinipersonal reaction lang ito.

    1. Pwede kaming bumoto dito abroad dahil mga legal overseas workers kami.
    2. C-5 extension is an infrastracture that will help the Filipinos eventually, but if given a choice I would much better use that huge amount starting with rehabilitation of our government hospitals and building classrooms for those students having classes under the mango trees (literally).
    3. All the negative things they say against Manny Villar (and sorry to say I am one of those people)are really forthcoming because he is guilty or maybe an accomplice.

    Finally, I would like to ask you Guys if you could share something for the other candidates? Like Teodoro and by the way is it Gordon or Bayani running for President as well?

    Thanks and Please be vigilant !

  127. 127Noel

    Please fellow filipino citizens. lets respect everybody’s opinion. especially to who they want to vote. lets just be vigilant and choose wisely. For me, I will vote for Teodoro because after watching and hearing his platform, he makes sense in what he is saying. Nagkataon lang ng administration sya. Noynoy is good also but for me, its not his time to be president. Parang napilitan lang sya because of party request. Kung may accusations kay villar, then I hope the right person wins the presidency. Sana si noynoy na lang o iba at wag na lang yung may stain or question ang integrity. As I said, i’ll vote for Gibo kasi karapatan ko yun. Sino man ang manalo, we’ll still move on and go back to our daily responsibilities. But at least, I vote for what i believe regardless if sino pa manalo.
    And one more thing,lets not make surveys as our basis for choosing a candidate. lets make our own research and thats the time we decide.wag yung dahil top sa surveys eh yun ang boboto natin. Di naman pustahan ito or may dividend ang boboto sa mga top sa survey. Lets be intelligent sa pagboto. maybe from there mawawala na yung mga nagmumudmod ng pera para maboto.kasi matalino na mga pilipino sa pagboboto.

  128. 128jahan kalam

  129. 129David of Isabela

    Definitely i will not vote foe Villar. If i have a chance I will campaign against him. Noynoy? Sorry… except the OLD traditional politicians and other TRAPOS who jump the other ship and joined him make a public declaration that they distance themselves once Noynoy wins, then I’ll go for Noynoy…

    Or else, just the good old days for the OLD TRAPOS!

    To: Joker “Joke” Arroyo
    Sabi sa campaign slogan mo na “kung bad ka, lagot ka”. Ngayon lagot ka sa taong bayan dahil alam nila na bad ka. Mr. walk – out ang drama mo dati pa sa panahon ni erap. Bakit ka tumambling, magsama na kayo ng idol mong si VILLAR hanggang sa kangkungan. I hope the Filipino people will vote according to their conscience this time. Ms. Monsod thank you for this information. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

  131. 131Butch

    IT’S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, IT’S WHAT YOU CAN PROVE IN COURT! We are a country of laws and not of men. Sen. Arroyo’s privilege speech is not a court decision finding Sen. Villar of GRAFT. THEY ARE MERELY ALLEGATIONS AND HAVE YET TO BE PROVEN IN COURT.

    It is inevitable, Sen. Villar is the country’s NEXT PRESIDENT!

    Now sabay sabay sa chorus, “SI MANNY VILLAR ANG MAGTATAPOS NG ATING KAHIRAPAN!”

  132. 132justy

    i am working now sa isa sa mga foreign companies na gumawa ng C5 and everyone on that company really cant believe a nation like ours can afford that kind of road while the other provinces,towns are in need of schools, hospitals.

    im not endorsing any candidate here. the main point here is bakit hindi humarap c villar sa mga issues against him? if ikaw ay isang innocente then you have defend your side.

    alam nyo ba na may mga tao sa ating bansa na they need to go down from the mountains to barter their crops in exchange of rice? akala mo sa sinaunang panahon pa ung trading without involvement of monetary value. it is still existing in some remote areas.

    kng ung ginastos sa C5 na yan na puro lng mga taga cavite and some areas, ay binigay nlng nila sa mga kapos palad nating mga kababayan na nasa bulubundokin o d kaya gamitin pagpatayo ng paaralan sa mga remote areas eh d sana tayong mga pilipino ay all educated and will understand kng cnu lng bobotohin nating.

    syempre sa mga nasa remote areas they prefer to vote those candidate na binigyan cla ng pera kasi sanay yan cla sa trading eh kasi kelangan nila yan para mabuhay.

    C5 project is only advantage to those who are rich like villar, to those who have their own vehicles. nakinabang ba ang mga mahihirap sa ginawa ni villar na C5? or xa lng nkinabang kasi dumadaan sa mga housing projects nya?

    ang mga taong nasa kalibliban ng ating bayan ay walang alam sa mga blogs na ito kaya hindi nila alam kng ano talagang tunay na color ng taong hinahangaan nila and they depend on the hearsay. sana nman ma ishare natin ang opinion na nabasa natin kay winnie and kay joker (although he is like a bamboo “goes with the wind”)

    anyway,think twice and vote wisely be vigilant!

  133. 133Just Thinking

    Very well said piNoy and Arnel…
    To you Arline, i’m sorry but please be more receptive to changes rather than enjoying the favors given to us at present… Think the future wisely! Figure out yourself how the Philippines would look like if what you are enjoying right now from C-5, courtesy of Mr. Villar at your expense, will still be the same if he will be your President? i know you did some research on him but i suggest,do some more and maybe you will know what piNoy and Arnel trying to convey here.

    For those who are questioning why Mr. Villar still holds a post in the Government… Remember, WE, Filipinos are the one who puts them where they are right now. hence, no one else to be blame after all but us… Now election time again, I think we should learn from it.

    I am not asking you who to vote but please learn from the experience… For those who are well aware of what’s happening around us here in the Philippines, please reach out to every Filipinos to be more vigilant. Show what our country can give to every Filipinos if and only if we choose the kind of President we are longing for. Good Luck Pilipinas!!!!

  134. 134Just Thinking

    Read what Jahan kalam comments here… it’a an eye opener that we, filipinos need to contemplate on… Maybe before voting for President lets ask ourselves first what’s our goal for the Philippines and to achieve that, what do we think we can do for the President to be, to materialize whatever we envision for a new Philippines… For those who have been voting for President of the Philippines, think back and see where we are right now… For first time voters, i hope you know now what to do… Good Luck!

  135. 135Jade

    Ay nakuuuu!!!! Mga katoto magising na kayo!!!!! Wag iboto ang mga kandidato na may bahid ng CORRUPTION!!!! Ang taong gahaman ay lalo pang magiging gahaman dahil silaw na siya sa kayamanan at kapangyarihan…..Kelan pa kaya uunlad ang Pilipinas??? Napagiiwan na tayo ng mga karatig bansa natin….

    GISING MGA KABABAYAN KONG PILIPINO…HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY…WHY GAMBLE YOUR VOTE, WHY NOT VOTE FOR NOYNOY…HE HAS PROVEN HIS SINCERITY. I AGREE WITH MS. W.MONSOD FOR THE REASONS WHY SHE IS VOTING FOR NOYNOY…

    “Nonoy also has an incredible legacy to live up to. All the pressure is on him to be clean and stay clean. He can’t afford to tarnish the Aquino name and the immense legacy that his parents left behind. Cory and Ninoy practically sacrificed their family for their dream of a better Philippines. For Noynoy, to know that your father and mother went through so much hardship to improve our country is a heavy burden to think about if you do decide to become a crook and destroy everything that they fought for.”

  138. 138Lito Herez Contreras

    Vote wisely. Vote Noynoy and Mar Roxas. Subukan natin sila mga kababayan ko. Tama na at dapat alisin na ang mga TRAPOs. Sobra na ang paghihirap ng ating mga kababayan. Maawa naman kayo. SIlang mga walang pusong Pinoy na pinapahirapan ang kapwa Pinoy.

Sa kahit na pinakamaliit na pagkakataon, kahit pa iisa lang ang mapapagsabihan natin, ibahagi natin ito. Kapag naipon, malakas na pwersa din. Kahit saan, kahit kailan, kahit sino pang kaharap natin, samantalahin natin kung may pagkakataon.

    Bakit si Noynoy lang at Manny Villar ang pinag-uusapan dito?sila lang ba ang may chance na manalo?d pa naman tapos and election.Why not Gordon na sinasabing may track record sa public service or perlas na environmentalist,madrigal or de los reyes?Dapat ang manalo na presidente
    may priority programs for the environment.Aanhin natin ang yaman kung lahat na pinaghirapan natin ay matutunaw lang dahil sa mga calamities na dala ng climate change

    @ kulas being poor is not a hindrance for you to become a billionare. have you read rich dad’s books? i suggest you should read them especially retire young retire rich. maybe u’ll have a clue on how to get rich.

    i am also a voter and until now i have not yet decided on whom i am to vote. but one thing is for sure i do not consider noynoy to be my president. simply because i think noynoy will just be another puppet who cannot stand on his own. i cannot imagine that noynoy agreed to run for presidency just because of the overwhelming support of filipinos when here mother died. before her mother died, had noynoy even considered to run for presidency? it’s a big NO. now my question is, why the sudden change of mind noynoy? why suddenly you do want to be our next president? just because your mother died and you want to continue her legacy? and what legacy is that, na hindi k magnanakaw? o common, madali lng sabihin n hindi k magnanakaw. i mean wag k magsalita ng tapoz. indi lng nmn money ang mananakaw. there are a lot of resources n puede nakawin. being clean isn’t enough for you to become a good leader.

    Please do not vote for Manny Villar.. WE had enough of crooks, we had enough of liars, we had enough of “mukhang Pera” in the government…Maawa na kayo sa pilipinas..

    I’ll vote for Noynoy…Kailangan lang natin ng clean and honest leader..aasenso tayo.

    At first, my heart is really for Villar and I took all those accusations as false by his detractors, but today, I have realized and changed my opinion and decision 180 degrees becuase of his real involvement in enriching his own self, all those ads that he cares for the poor is a big and mortal sin……where is his heart by owning a huge area of land for his glory? Talking about glory, he’s the author of putting GMA into power and the latter built her own data for the economy of our country be praised in the global picture, a genius manipulation of the economy is the best accomplishment of GMA, and that makes her famous yet she never became not even a nominee of the famous Nobel Prize in economics. Wake up! Thia May 10 is the right time to eliminate all these evils in our holy land.

    it seems that everybody is in favor iof noynoy winning the presidency.
    this is my first time to vote and would you give me a valid reason why i should vote for noynoy aside from him being clean (which i doubt if he really is clean). everyone of us has skeletons on our closet. we are not perfect.

    fellow filipinos, why don’t you consider other candidates like gordon and gibo. why only noynoy. just because he carries the name aquino? wake up fellas. stop acting like noynoy is our saviour. coz he is not.

    u know wat’s wrong with us..?
    nagsisisihan tayo…
    yes! it’s true.. corruption is one of the things that puts us, Filipinos, to extreme poverty…
    but come to think of it.. lahat tayo ay may kasalanan kung bakit tau nghihirap..
    cge, given na n corrupt c villar.. but xa lang ba ang corrrupt sa mga presidentiables..?
    lahat ng tao nasa loob ang kulo..
    bago kayo manghusga at manggago ng ibang tao.. tingnan nyo muna sarili nyo..
    LAHAT NG TAO AY KORAP… admit it or not..
    sabi nga ni Machiavelli, all men are basically SELFISH..
    umayos nga kayo…
    lahat tayo tanga! lahat tayo korap… aminin nyo.. kaya walang siraan.. ok..?

    tama c arline… do ur research..

    arline, ur not alone.. parehas tau ng opinions..

    marami pa talagang tanga sa mundo….

  149. 149Arnel

    sweet pen,

    why noynoy? it’s because he is the exact opposite of GMA.

    why not villar, gibo or gordon? it’s because they are more or less the same as GMA.

    Tama ka Butch, rule of law tayo. Dapat ay patunayan sa husgado ang mga allegations.
    Pero, tanong ko. Puwera kay Erap, sinong malaking isda ang naconvict sa corruption? Huwag na kayang naconvict, nademanda na lang? Si Erap naplunder nga pero pardoned kaagad.
    At saka, alam mo naman kung gaano kabagal umusad ang wheels of justice.
    Kaya parang pinarot (apology sa mga parrots) mo lang ang mga alipures ni GMA na nagsabing patunayan sa husgado ang lahat ng mga issue laban sa administrasyon.
    At saka, huwag mo sanang kalimutan na sinumang nasa gobierno ay dapat like Ceasar’s wife – kahit perception ng anomaliya ay wala.
    Si idolo mong Villar, kaliwa’t kanan ang sabit sa anomaliya kaya pala hindi siya nagdivest ng kanyang business interests nang maging c(t)ongressman ay gustong maging bilyonaro ng superbilis.
    Voters with discerning mind should be able to see that among the presidentiables, Gordon is the best choice with his intelligence and achievements. But if his chances are almost nil, then a vote for him is an indirect vote for Villar.
    The only possible HOPE then for a better Philippines is Aquino.
    I feel more comfortable in Aquino’s lacktustre but otherwise clean record than Villar’s credentials which is heavily tainted with immoral if not corrupt dealings.
    If elected president, Aquino can surround himself with the best and clean minds for more effective governance.
    An old person’s character can no longer change – a good person will remain good and a corrupt person will become even more corrupt (especially with all the powers he/she wields).
    May the high heavens have mercy on the Philippines and keep Villar away from the presidency.

    Pls maawa naman po kayo!!!!. ngayong election huwag natin iboto si villar. Mas lalo tayong mababaon sa utang. hindi natin ito mababayaran hanggang sa dumating ang katapusan ng mundo.

    About villar’s claim that he helped his mom sell fish in Navotas Port, I learned that its true, but take note, at that time his father was the head of an angency who has direct and total control with all the fish ports nationwid. i guess they did not have a hard time selling fish because of his dad’s influence. kaya nilang barasohin ang fish vendors sa navotas. thats what i have learned from those people in navotas and of course from San Rafael Village

    Didnt realize the gravity of the accusations before, not until i have read the whole speech.

    Nakakatakot nga talagang mailagay sa pwesto ang isang taong ganito. ganid sa pera at kapangyarihan. kaya nyang unahin ang kanyang negosyo kesa sa bayan.

    Kaya pala ganon kalaganap ang kanyang kampanya, simula sa telebisyon, sa radyo, sa lansangan pati sa internet.

    Si Villar lang yata ang nakikita kong may mga AD banners sa yahoo facebook at iba pang sikat na websites.
    Maliit na gastos ito kumpara sa ibang traditional na pangangampanya, pero magaling ang mga taong nakuha niya. Sana huwag mabulag ang ating kabataan sa mga ganitong taktika.

    Sila ngayon ang binibingwit ng mga patalastas na ito ng mga kandidato.

    tama ang sinabi ng isa nating katoto dito…
    ang taong masama sa simula pa ay magiging masama pa pag nasa kapangyarihan at posisyon na.
    pero ang taong mabuti sa simula pa ay mananatiling mabuti…
    nasa puso na nyang ang mabuting ugali ang mabuting pag-iisip, at maayos na pag-husga.

    Noynoy, doesnt have the badges and medals like the others who are seated inside Senate and the Congress..
    but what He has is His parents legacy of striving for a better Philippines without the smear of corruption.
    It is an unending battle… of good vs. evil.
    and yes along the way, Noynoy might tag along some evils from the past administration who is in his side right now, waiting for a good chance to snag him from behind. or maybe, inject him with the rabies of corruption…

    but if that has to be… I guess he would still favor his parents advocacy… or it will haunt him for the rest of his lives…

    i would still go for the lesser evil if thats the case.

    God save the Philippines from this monster…

    what does a wealthy and powerful man wants?…
    more wealth,more power

    villar is not the president we need, he’s too busy in his personal business, so let him mind his own business…and let our country be manage by someone who’s interest is to uplift the lives of the Filipino people!!!

    Tuwing napapanood ko ang ad ni villar kinikilabutan ako parang nakikita ko na kung sya ang manalo bilang presidente sa Mayo 2010 ay magkakaroon ng lalaking imahe ni GMA. Nakakatakot isipin na ang Pilipinas na pilit na bumabangon ay patuloy na malulugmok, kabikabilang korupsyon na hantad ay pilit na tinatakpan. Kawawang mga bata, nagagamit kapalit ang napakalaking kasinungalingan at walang katotohanang bukas na isinisilid sa kanilang kaisipan. Ang nogasyante kapag namuhunan ay naghahangad ng napakalaking kapalit. Napakalaki na ng pinuhunan ni Villar sa kanyang kampanya. Napakalaki na ng kanyang sisingilin sa kaban ng bayan.

    Mga kababayan manalangin po tayo na maawa sa atin ang Diyos na buksan ang kaisipan ng bawat Pilipinong botante at HUWAG IBOTO si VILLAR!! Naway bigyan tayo ng Diyos ng isang Presidente at lider na tunay na magmamahal sa bansang Pilipinas, tunay na Makadiyos, hindi mapagmahal sa pera bagkus ang kapakanan ng nasasakupan ang inuuna, sumusunod sa batas, kayang humarap sa anumang pag aakusa sapagkat malinis at walang itinatago, may kakayanang magdesisyon ng ayon sa batas at sa kapakanan ng higit na nakararami, kayang iangat ang kapakanan ng mahirap. Kapakanan sa salitang pagbibigay ng dignidad at hindi ng konting tulong lamang upang may maipantawid sa kasalukuyang pangangailanangan. kayang irepresenta ang Pilipinas sa daigdig ng may pagmamalaki at hindi lamang humingi ng tulong kundi iprisinta bilang bansa na bukas para pamuhunan upang magkaroon ng sapat na hanapbuhay lalo na sa mahirap. Naway magkatotoo na ang sinasabing “Pagkain sa bawat hapag ng pamilyang Pilipino.”

    HUWAG PO NATING IBOTO SI MANNY VILLAR !!!
