Our Current Crop of Potential Presidents

Here are the current crop of people we will be electing in May for President

A so called "depressed and mentally unstable" individual who's claim to fame is his name.

A poor and swam in garbage individual who's now a billionaire. Who's claim is either true or he's a pathological liar.

A womanizing, gambling and convicted plunderer.

An articulate lawyer who's claim to fame is being in the GMA administration.

A crying, hot-headed, people serving, can do attitude person.

A man of God who's money came from his flock like every other "spiritual leader".


For Vice President we have.

A bitchy, revenge seeking, former TV anchor.

A no-nonsense administrator who loves pink fences who think he's gwapo.

A former actor who hasn't really been heard or seen during the campaign.

A mayor who is said to have enhanced the financial capital of the country that used to be a human rights lawyer which hardly any money but who's net worth has jumped to almost P100 million in less than a decade.

A rich guy who identifies himself with the poor and calls himself as Mr. Wet Market.

90 Million people and these are the best we can choose from.

Ramon Tulfo is right, the Philippines is a Kakistocracy. What is a kakistocracy you ask?

Kakistrocracy is a government run by the least qualified or most unprincipled. It is also a government run by the worst of its citizens.

In short, a government run by scoundrels.

Sen. Richard Gordon

Here's an interesting piece on Sen. Richard Gordon from the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

======================
During a debate on the Manila campus of De La Salle University
, Sen. Richard Gordon waves a thin black and white contraption roughly the size of a notebook. “Kindle,” he shouts.

“Here’s a little computer where you can put the entire school curriculum, from Grade 1 to high school to college. Every kid in public school should have one because he who reads, leads,” Gordon exclaimed.

Gordon talked about providing the country’s 17 million public school students with the Amazon.com product and raising the quality of education in the process.

“The government purchases textbooks for public schools. Oftentimes, these books are full of errors. That’s why we have book scams left and right. Why not get a Kindle for every student, download the accurate, factual books needed for the year, do the same every year. So every school year, we just buy new Kindles for the incoming Grade 1,” he explained.

Gordon later admits the plan is simplistic but doable.

Gordon tells reporters that a P0.50 tax on every text message could fund this e-book project.

If there are 2 billion text messages sent every day, he says, that could raise P365 billion annually, enough to buy a $100 Kindle made in China for each pupil and even raise teachers’ monthly salaries to P40,000 from P12,000.

“Our education is now on the level of Zambia and Tanzania. Education should not be a choice. Poverty is the absence of choice,” the senator says.

Gordon, who is running for president in the May 10 election under his newly formed Bagumbayan-Volunteers for a New Philippines Party, fancies himself a “transformer,” pointing to his record as a no-nonsense mayor of Olongapo City.

In the early 1990’s, Gordon captured the country’s attention when he elevated Olongapo from a honky-tonk town hosting American servicemen at the then US Subic Bay Naval Base to one of the country’s more progressive cities.

Mt. Pinatubo’s eruption in 1991 devastated Olongapo and hastened US troop departure from the base following the Senate’s rejection of the extension of the Philippines’ bases treaty with the United States.

Rather than grieve, Gordon reinvented himself as chair and administrator of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) and became the most prominent salesman of the former naval base as a trade and investment hub.

With its duty-free shops and the first class facilities in the base that was previously off limits to Filipinos, Subic became a prime domestic tourist destination. Olongapo was swept in the boom.

Gordon sought to instill discipline among his constituents, plastering signs all over the city declaring that “bawal ang tamad sa Olongapo,” or laziness is not allowed.

“Everything I did in Olongapo was a reaction to colonial culture. We have Juan Tamad who is a bad role model,” says Gordon, who served as mayor for a dozen years.

Gordon boasts that Olongapo was the first city to have tricycle drivers wearing uniforms.

Public utility vehicles were color-coded long before the scheme was adopted in Metro Manila to ease traffic jams.

But Gordon also had another reason for the project. When his father James L. Gordon, Olongapo’s founding father and its first mayor, was assassinated in 1967, the attackers escaped using tricycles. He figured that public vehicles and drivers should be identified easily.

In 1998, Felicito Payumo replaced Gordon as SBMA chief. Pundits trace a reason that went all the way back to 1992, the election year after the Senate’s rejection of the US Bases Treaty.

Posters showing the faces of the so-called “Magnificent 12” senators who voted for the rejection of the treaty were hoisted around Olongapo. People were told not to vote for them.

The urban legend goes that when Sen. Joseph Estrada, one of the Magnificent 12, became president six years later, he appointed Payumo to the SBMA to get back at Gordon.

Besides, Gordon was perceived to be more sympathetic to the Americans, a detail that could hurt the newly elected Estrada’s pro-poor image.

Asked if he considers himself a nationalist, Gordon was quick to respond: “Why shouldn’t I be?”

Gordon grew up in an Olongapo with a hovering American presence. “The bases were rammed down our throats,” he said.

Manny (Pacman) Pacquiao's Gen Santos and Boracay Mansions

Stretching from the gate to the front of the main house in Gen San is an extensive driveway. Family members and guests alike get off from their cars on a covered walkway, held up by classic white pillars. The walkway leads to the front door.

The wide front yard provides more than enough room for a landscaped garden. It features a fountain and a koi pond.

Cream or beige was the color of choice for Manny Pacquiao's two-story, seven-bedroom, 780-square-meter Mediterranean-style house that sits on a 2,300-square-meter lot. This understated hue complements the classic lines and details of the architecture. The red tiles used on the roof are imported from Japan .

Flanked by white pillars, paved by tiles from Spain , and illuminated by a bowl pendant chandelier, the main entrance, with its white double front doors, gives guests a hint of the grandness to be expected inside.

Manny Pacquiao's expansive backyard in Lagao Village , General Santos City , features a swimming pool in the shape of a boxing glove, and iron garden furniture that provides seating for both swimmers and guests. Hidden by the lush greenery is Manny's seven-car garage.

The boxing champ reportedly spent P35 million-plus for the structures alone—the 780-square-meter main house (known to local tourists as "Pacman's Mansion"), and the 320-square-meter, two-story building that houses the servants' quarters, a billiard room, a gym with a sauna, an entertainment center, and a recording studio. The furniture pieces and furnishings inside both structures, according to Manny, are imported from Italy and Japan.

Providing a good view of the pool and backyard are several balconies on the second floor. On the ground floor is a lanai where guests can enjoy a refreshing breeze, yet still be under the shade.

Situated in the backyard but separate from the pool is this round Jacuzzi.

In the lanai, an entire wall is dedicated to framed photos of the Pacman's boxing successes. The permanent exhibit includes action-packed shots of his bouts with Erik Morales and Juan Manuel Marquez, as well as photos of Manny with President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and former Manila Mayor Lito Atienza, now secretary of environment and natural resources.

The winding staircase is something Manny and Jinkee wanted for their dream home. Set against tall windows, and with a "ringside view" of the large crystal chandelier hanging from the dome ceiling, the staircase becomes a very impressive sight.

Manny began the construction of this "dream house" in August 2006, while he was preparing for his November 18 match with Mexico 's Erik Morales. The Pambansang Kamao's win earned him $3 million. That's what he used to pay for this house, which saw completion in December 2006, just in time for his 28th birthday.

Flanking the tall window are two smaller yet elegantly draped windows and regal-looking torch lamps, further emphasizing the grandness of the space.

This console table, standing near the foot of the stairs and against a tall window, holds photos of the Pacquiao family.

The living room flows easily into the formal dining room, seen in the background.

Hung together, these black-and-white photomontages create a huge impact. They also manage to go well with the dark grand piano. Unknown to many, Manny can play a few pieces on this piano. His favorite, we gathered, is the Beatles' "Let It Be."

The formal dining table comfortably sits 10 diners at a time. The curtained sliding doors to the left open up to the lanai.

The formality of the dining room is toned down by the presence of a large flat-screen television set in a corner.

Muted tones of peach, cream, and brown are accented by burgundy colors, brought in by the throw pillows on the sofa, silk flowers on the coffee table, and the pattern on the area rug.

The kitchen walls' bright apple-green color is complemented by the red-and-white floral curtains. Though the kitchen's colors may be a bit country-ish, the appliances are anything but. The stove top, range hood, and oven are as modern as they can be.

A wet bar gets to have its own corner. A wet bar is characterized by its having a sink with running water, making mixing and serving drinks easier. A regular bar, on the other hand, is basically a counter where drinks are mixed and served.

The main seating area on the second floor is furnished with Louis XIV-inspired pieces, such as the sofa and the armchairs. Done in muted tones, these classic pieces look light yet still very elegant.

Among Manny's many business ventures is a resort on the world-famous island of Boracay in Aklan. Manny partnered with his friend, businessman Crisostomo "Cris" Aquino to purchase, in 2006, a cove in the seaside mountain terrain from a former developer.

The cove, located in the island's Diniwid beach area, is partly hidden from the view of tourists at Boracay's Station 1. The lushly vegetated cove is now a resort that Manny and Cris have named the Boracay West Cove

At present, the Boracay West Cove is not yet fully operational. Manny and Cris are still adding new structures, such as upcoming resto-bars Café Crisostomo and Station Zero.

"Testing-testing pa lang sa mga kaibigan," says Manny's business partner Cris, in an interview with YES! during the Pinoy Records' Christmas party.

Cris is also the Philippine flag-bearer in all Manny's fights.

The Boracay West Cove hugs the seaside mountain terrain of Boracay's Diniwid beach area and is accessible only either through a tricycle ride from Boracay's Stations 1, 2, and 3, or by boat. Clients are given free round-trip speedboat transfers to and from Caticlan Jetty Port.

Cabanas, made from nipa and molave planks, surround the whole resort. Each is equipped with comfortable lounges where guests can take a nap, read, have a massage, or simply chat while enjoying the cool sea breeze.

At the resort, Manny maintains his personal quarters, which opens to a private balcony, where one can have an unobstructed view of both sunrise and sunset on Boracay.

Manny has personally named this coral rock formation Pacman's Rock

"Balak naming maglagay diyan ng statue ni Manny," says West Cove co-owner Cris Aquino.

"May pinapaayos pa nga ngayon, sa bandang ibaba. Papalagyan daw niya ng bilyaran niya." Billiards is Manny's other passion.

These shots were taken inside Manny and Jinkee's private quarters. At present, the Boracay West Cove has 12 private villas. But Cris Aquino says he and Manny are adding 18 more villas.

Manny's window frames the Boracay sunrise and sunset perfectly. He also has a direct view of his Pacman Rock.

Each room in the resort has its own balcony. Manny's balcony, however, is bigger and more elaborate.

The owners are targeting foreign honeymooners as main clientele.

"Mas may privacy kasi dito." And privacy doesn't come cheap. During peak seasons (November to May), the price of a room per night ranges from P7,000-plus to 12,000-plus.

Villar: Trouble with hellos

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

======================

Sen. Manny Villar called Fe Barin, chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Francis Lim, then president of the Philippine Stock Exchange, many times sometime between May and June 2007, the Philippine Daily Inquirer has learned.

But the calls, according to SEC and PSE lawyers and brokers interviewed by the Inquirer on separate occasions, were “too many to be easily dismissed and forgotten.”

They couldn’t forget about the calls either, they said, most especially because Villar, then Senate President, wanted the SEC and PSE officials “to throw the exchange rules out the window.”

Villar was seeking the release from escrow of about 1.2 billion of the 5.3 billion secondary shares of Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc. in June 2007 so these could be offered both as primary and secondary shares at the same time, or several days apart.

The Senate President not only made the calls, he also appeared before SEC and PSE board meetings, the lawyers said.

Villar and his wife Cynthia, the Las Piñas representative, are majority stockholders of Vista Land, the couple’s flagship company.

The couple became P6.75 billion richer from the secondary offering of 985.9 million shares that began on July 26, 2007, or within the escrow period of 180 days from the date of initial offering.

Lawyers said this violated article III, part D, section 7, of the exchange’s revised listing rules, which provides for a 180-day lockup on the secondary shares.

Vista Land, formed only in February 2007 to oversee operations of decades-old real estate brands Camella, a listed firm, Crown Asia and Brittany, made P14.5 billion from the sale of 2.12 billion primary shares.

Despite a weak showing in early trade, share prices soared to more than the offer price of P6.90, or up to as much as P7.50 per share. Share prices subsequently took a dive and hardly recovered since the secondary offering.

Simply put, Villar wanted the secondary offering held at once, despite the 180-day lock-up rule. He wanted to seize the day while the market was bullish. And he got it.

====================

Boy, either these reports are just smear campaign tactics or Manny Villar is one relentless, conniving, lying and corrupt politician. Quite opposite from the image he's trying to project.

Whether you believe this report or not, think carefully on who you should be voting for in the coming election.

Of Elections and Massacre

So yesterday we got news that Justice Secretary Alberto Agra has cleared Gov. Zaldy Ampatuan of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and his uncle, Maguindanao Vice Gov. Akmad Ampatuan Sr., of the massacre of the 57 people in Maguindanao.

Justice Secretary Alberto Agra photo from The Philippine Daily Inquirer.

The justice secretary said that their alibi that there were not in Maguindanao at the time of the murder was good enough to drop charges on them. Kind of like saying that GMA did not cheat in the elections because she didn't stuff the ballot herself. Yeah right.

When the decision was made, state prosecutors led by Chief State Prosecutor Claro Arellano Monday protested the resolution that Agra issued on the night of April 16 absolving the two Ampatuans and walked out.

The decision also led to protests and The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) urged the public to wear black to express “rage and disappointment” over the decision of Justice Secretary Alberto Agra to drop murder charges against two members of the Ampatuan clan.

The timing and decision surprised a lot of people but I'm hardly surprised by the outcome. I knew from the start that all these charges and display of the Ampatuans to the DOJ are just for show. Nothing will come out of it.

I just read that the timing of the release of the two Ampatuan is quite suspicious especially Zaldy since he is said to be an "expert" in poll manipulation. And guess who the Ampatuans are supporting in the election? No, not Administration candidate Gibo Teodoro. But the secret candidate Manny "Villarroyo" Villar. Don't believe me? Look at this photo.

Andal Ampatuan Jr. photo from the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

As written in this article, orange and yellow is the campaign color of Manny Villar. Highly suspicious isn't it? I guess there's really no point in all the campaigning since we know that Manny Villar is a sure winner.

That is of course a defeatist attitude. The only way to make sure that Manny Villar doesn't win is to make sure vote and choose your vote wisely. But according the the polls, the only person who can beat Villar is Noynoy Aquino, who isn't really my first choice for a candidate.

I'm sad to say, we Filipinos may yet again have to choose between the lesser of two evils.

5 minutes management course

Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.

The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.

Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.

The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.

When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'

'It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies.

'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'


Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.


Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift.

She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.

The priest nearly had an accident.

After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.

The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'

Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.


Lesson 3:

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.

They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'

'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'

Puff! She's gone.

'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'

Puff! He's gone.

'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.

The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after
lunch.'


Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.


Lesson 4

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'

The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson 5

A turkey was chatting with a bull.

'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.


Moral of the story:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..


Lesson 6

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.


Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your
friend.

(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep
your mouth shut!

Warning sa mga "Bakasyonistang OFWs, Balikbayan at sa lahat nating kamag-anak sa Pilipinas...

MAG-INGAT KAYO sa Metro Manila at sa ibang lugar sa Pilipinas

As received, I'd like to share this very important warning message for the hardworking fellow kababayans abroad who are going on vacation to the Philippines...

Mahalagang paala-ala sa ating mga kababayan na nagsisikap na makapagpundar ng salapi para sa kanilang pamilya.

Narito ang isa sa mga bagong karumaldumal na gawain ng mga bayarin na alagad ng batas para sila ay magkamal ng salapi sa masamang paraan.

Kung kayo ay kumakain sa anumang Food Court , restaurant o fastfood ay mag-iingat kayo sa ganitong scenario ..... habang kayo ay kumakain, may pwe-pwesto sa tapat ng lamesa nyo na isang tao (babae o lalaki) at ito ay magkukunwaring kakain din, kalimitan ang suot ay parang balikbayan din.

Gagamitin niya and kanyang cellphone at malakas na mag sasalita para makuha ang atensyon mo.

Bigla itong tatayo at a-akto na nagmamadali. Iiwanan niya sa table ang susi ng kotse nya. Dito ay dapat kang mag-isip ng mabuti dahil sa oras na kunin mo ang susi at ihabol sa labas ng fastfood o restaurant para iabot sa umalis na customer ay pagdating sa labas ay hindi mo na makikita ang taong ito. Pag-balik mo sa loob ng fastfood or restaurant, biglang may lalapit sayo na magpapakilalang pulis at sasabihin sayo na ikaw ay suspect sa carnapping, at bubulungan ka na huwag mag-ingay
at kailangang sumama sa labas dahil nandoon ang complainant, at may tatayo pa na apat na tao sa loob ng fastfood o restaurant at magpapakilalang mga intel agent. Dito ay malilito ka na at mapipilitan kang sumama sa labas.

ITO AY ISANG MALINAW NA FRAME-UP!

Kapag kayo ay nasa labas na, dito na magaganap ang pagpilit sayo na sumakay sa kotse nila upang ikaw daw dalhin sa presinto subalit dadalhin ka nila sa lugar na halos walang tao at doon ka tatakutin na ipa-pa-media at sasampahan ng kaso.

Ito na ang simula ng pag-alok nila sa iyo ng ibang option para hindi ka makasuhan. Ito ay ang pagbibigay mo sa kanila ng pera, una ay hihingan ka nila ng P500,000.00 hanggang sa makipag ne- gosiate ka sa kanila.

KAYA PO MGA KASAMANG MGA OFW, MAG-INGAT PO KAYO SA PAGMAMAGANDANG LOOB KAPAG NASA PILIPINAS. IWASAN PO NINYONG DAMPUTIN ANG ANO MANG BAGAY NA MAIIWAN NG MGA KUSTOMER NA AGAW-PANSIN.

IPAALAM PO NATIN ITO SA LAHAT NG ATING KASAMANG OFW AT MAGING SA MGA KAMAG-ANAK NATIN NA NASA PILIPINAS.

HINDI PO TAYO NAMUMULOT NG SALAPI PARA NAKAWIN SA ATIN NG MGA WALANG PUSONG NAGPAPAKILALANG ALAGAD NG BATAS ANG SALAPING ATING PINAGHIRAPAN, PATI PO ANG MAGANDANG PANGALAN NATIN AY KANILANG SISIRAIN.

Ito po ay nangyayari sa lugar ng Bulacan, Laguna, Antipolo, Bataan , at Quezon City ...

A young son asked, 'Is it true Dad, that in some parts of Africa A man doesn't know his wife until he marries her?'
Dad replied, 'That happens in every country, son.'

Then there was a woman who said, 'I never knew what real happiness was until I got married,
And by then, it was too late.'

Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.

If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say -- talk in your sleep.

Just think, if it weren't for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all.

First guy says, 'My wife's an angel!'
Second guy remarks, 'You're lucky, mine's still alive.

Plagiarism

Have you read this article about the speech by PLDT Chair Manuel V. Pangilinan on the graduation ceremony in Ateneo on March 26 and 27? It was said that portions of the speech was copied from speeches of Barack Obama, J.K. Rowling, Oprah Winfrey and Conan O'Brien.

Part of his speech included this line from the graduation speech of Conan O'Brien, "Forty-four years ago, I sat where you now sit. I also thought what you now think: What is going to happen to me? Where can I find a job? Am I really graduating a virgin?"

His public relations department did say that Manuel V. Pangilinan uses the services of speechwriters. Even though it was the speechwriters fault, he did take full responsibility for the mistake and sent in a letter to resign being the Chair of the Ateneo board of trustees.

The details of the speech was in Facebook but has already been taken down.

I don't have the full transcript of the speech. But here's a video of Conan O'Brien's graduation speech at Harvard.
