Mga kapatid, papayag ba tayo na ganito ang susunod nating Pinuno? Mag-isip-isip tayo! Gamitin ang UTAK wag ang DAMDAMIN. Maging MATALINO sa pagpili ng tamang leader sa May 2010.

History of Present Illness: The patient is a 36-year old single male with a history of profuse salivation and labile moods since his childhood. He was observed to be sleeping excessively, disoriented and confusing family and household member’s name. When interviewed at the time of psychiatric assessment, the patient said he had difficulty in speech, poor concentration, impaired thinking and melancholia brought about by the stresses of his work and the break-up with his flight attendant girlfriend. He also claimed he felt clumsy and uncoordinated. He also describes what appeared to be a deep sense of foreboding and feeling that the “world was coming to an end.”

Current Symptoms:

Psychomotor retardation
Slowed gait and activity
Lack of initiative
Melancholia
Fatigue
Lack of self-confidence
Lack of sexual interest

Substance Abuse History:

Smoker Yes, up to two (2) packs a day

Drugs Yes, teen-age experimentation with Marijuana and various pills

The Psychologist conducting the interviews noticed that the patient would occasionally walk slowly and aimlessly around the room when being interviewed. He appeared inattentive, vague, non-spontaneous and detached in interactions, but passively followed simple commands. He appeared disoriented. There was some difficulty in communicating due to his deep depression and melancholia. On mental state examination, he was a lanky man of medium height who was mildly psychomotor retarded with a latency of verbal replies, and a slowness of movement. He was preoccupied with his inner thoughts, brooded and felt melancholy. He appeared quite elevated and irritable when he spoke of the loss he was feeling when he recounted his relationship with his girlfriend. He expressed a poorly-formed grandiose delusion that the world was ending and described feelings of foreboding but no disturbance in any other sensory modality. The patient was oriented in person and place, with only very mild impairment of time. Attention and concentration deficits were evident, though much in the slightest and confirmed on formal testing that he had minor difficulty in counting down by seven from 100 and could not readily spell some words backwards. Registration and short term memory were intact on testing but he was often distracted and distant. There was evidence of dysphagia, mild difficulty with three-step commands, concretism and trial-constructiona l dyspraxia (he could not copy complex diagrams). No confabulation or remote memory deficits were identified. His Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score totaled 28/30. No cognitive impairments. He denied being in need of medical assistance and explained his presence in the school as being due to his sister’s concerns, but did not appear suspicious of possible motives or irritated by his presence in the department. He denied that he had any cognitive deficits. He said he required medication and dietary modification, but did not accept medication offered in fact requiring detailed explanation on why the medication had to be taken.

In as much as the patient exhibits the following symptoms (1) Depressed mood (i.e. feeling sad and empty) most of the day for 10 days, (2) Markedly diminished interest on pleasure in almost all activities (including lack of sexual interest) most of the day for 10 days, (3) A noticeable fluctuation of appetite most of the day for 10 days, (4)Psychomotor agitation or retardation (i.e. increased restlessness) most of the day for 10 days, (5) A diminished ability to concentrate ordering on indecisiveness most of the day for 10 days, (6) Insomia nearly everyday, (7) Fatigue nearly everyday , And (8) a feeling of foreboding everyday. He is diagnosed as suffering from Major Depressive Disorder.

DECEPTIVE NOYNOY

2010-04-09T08:45:00.000-07:00

Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s record number of visits to Pampanga is in danger to eat dust from the number of misconceptions engulfing presidential candidate Benigno “Noynoy” Cojuanco Aquino III – the only son of our country’s icons Ninoy and Cory Aquino and anticipated heir to and champion of their respective legacies. This article is in no way intended to besmirch any person’s reputation but only to render facts (not reasons) and segregate them from misconceptions. The aim is not to discourage voting for Noynoy as he may very well be our country’s best hope. However, a person who intends to vote wisely should be wise in perceiving the truth, not wise in justifying a choice of impulse.

There is a misconception that Noynoy Aquino will surely not be corrupt because any child of Ninoy and Cory cannot afford to tarnish his parents’ names. However, the amount of honor one bestows on his parents does not depend on his parents’ popularity. A person will not have more guts to dishonor his mother just because his mother is a mere housewife and not a former president of the Republic. A prime example is the incumbent president – her father is the great Diosdado Macapagal yet this has not deterred her from unclean acts. A contrapositive illustration is Manny Pacquiao – his mother Dionisia is a mere rice cake vendor but he honors her as the fairest of them all. Popularity of parents is irrelevant: an individual who does not wish to dishonor his parents will do so even if his parents are simpletons, and a corrupt person will be corrupt regardless of circumstances.
Noynoy is presumably the best person to continue the legacies of his parents. Assuming that the legacies of Ninoy and Cory are the best or only acceptable antidotes for our country, one does not need to be the son of Ninoy and Cory to continue their legacies. Even if the other candidates are not children of Ninoy and Cory, they still have the capacity to advocate commendable ideologies. A candidate’s platform is not inferior merely because it is not the continuance of Ninoy’s and Cory’s legacies – assuming that a continuance of legacy is a platform.
There is a misconception that Noynoy is superiorly competent to juggle the country’s various concerns. This misconception is based more on looking at his image than looking at his actual contributions to the country. Even the (allegedly) corrupt Manny Villar has actual contributions to OFWs’ lives. Being fifty years old without an own job or business does not speak well of Noynoy’s competence or hardwork. So does being a senator with the lowest number of laws authored (nine bills submitted and zero laws authored for the past three years). However, in an election, the question should not be whether Noynoy is competent; it should be whether he is more competent and hardworking than his rivals, that is, whether he has more actual contributions to the country. That’s why candidates compete, they must prove that they are the most competent to run the country.
There is a misconception that Noynoy is more principled than most of us.
- A principled person would not ride on his deceased parents’ names to fish for votes.
- A principled person would not use and dare swear to God in a TV commercial just to show to the country that he would not steal (this would also not be done by a truly religious person as Matthew 5:34 forbids promising by God).
- A principled person would also object to the airing of a TV commercial wherein a catholic priest is one of those who idiotically dance to a campaign jingle. A person who regularly attends mass would find it a highly disrespectful to put a priest (or a person impersonating a priest) in a frenzy-of-a-dance as if in a TV noontime show.
- A principled person would derive the strength of his campaign from his own accomplishments and not from mud-slinging intrigues to his rivals.
  Noynoy's principles and integrity are erroneously measured by focusing on the campaign image he projects and not by analysis of his actual persona which can be measured by observing his decisions and acts.
- A principled person would not be silent for countless years but instead object to the decisions and actions of his co-hacienderos in Hacienda Luisita (assuming that he has no direct part in the oppression). Any principled person would have burst in outrage to the injustice to the farmers of the hacienda. This is aggravated by the fact that he had the power and influence to stop the repression of farmers’ rights as he was the incumbent congressman of the second district of Tarlac (where Hacienda Luisita is located) at the peak of the crisis and when the massacre occurred. Being a mere co-owner of the hacienda is not an excuse – he could have contradicted or criticized his co-hacienderos; or at the very least, he could have just walked away from the despotic land possession. Turning a blind eye to the oppression and not fighting it (or at least disclosing it) is being an accomplice to the evil especially as he was the incumbent congressman responsible for the locality at the time. Noynoy’s 5% ownership of Hacienda Luisita translates to 3,217,500 square meters of land withheld from rightful owner-farmers for forty-three years. If it is indeed his aspiration, Noynoy could have given away his share of the land years ago and not only now when he is running for president. Even as a mere co-owner, he could easily give his share of the hacienda to farmers this very instant as provided in Articles 493 and 494 paragraph 1 of the Civil Code of the Philippines. However, he stated in an interview that he would “want to leave only when we have formulated the plan on how they could pay the debts of the corporate farm. When that has been cleared, then we could bid goodbye.” (Manila Times, November 13, 2009). As noble as his intentions are, it is unlawful for Noynoy to put in his hands the decision when to leave the hacienda; he must leave immediately when the Government orders him to do so.
Noynoy is intelligent. Well, Gibo Teodoro is a bar topnotcher from UP, Eddie Villanueva was a professor at PUP, JC de los Reyes was a professor at UA&P, Manny Villar holds an MBA from UP, Nick Perlas graduated with highest honors from Xavier University and Richard Gordon is a lawyer from UP. These presidentiables have more feathers in their caps than Noynoy. As in competence, the more important question is whether Noynoy is more intelligent than other candidates.

May readers have the maturity to admit facts and not closed-mindedly rationalize uncomfortable realities.

Manny Villar: PUNTO POR PUNTO

2010-04-09T08:16:00.000-07:00

I posted this article at Facebook (notes) a week ago and I was surprised by the positive feedbacks of the readers. FYI, almost all of the persons I tagged were Anti-Villar/Pro-Noynoy. Well, I can say that Manny Villar answered all accusations and allegations with composure and conviction in this article. Because of this, people had converted their votes... from yellow to ORANGE. as in! check!

Professionals for Manny B. Villar (Pro-MBV)
(originally entitled: VILLAR FIGHTS BACK)

Hindi daw siya magnanakaw. Pero bakit siya nagsisinungaling? Hindi ba’t kapatid ng magnanakaw ang sinungaling.

Sa napakatagal na panahon ay nanahimik ako. Naniwala at patuloy akong naniniwalang may mas mahahalaga pang isyung dapat harapin sa halalang ito kaysa sa magbatuhan ng putik, lalo na kung ito’y pawang kasinungalingan lamang.

He claims he is the son of heroes. Heir to the legacy of his parents, their courage, and integrity. Ngunit bakit siya nagtatago sa likod ng black propaganda? Hindi ba’t utang din niya sa sambayanan ang ipaalam sa mamamayan ang kanyang plataporma, kakayahan, at kapasidad na mamuno?

The issue in this election or any election is competence and track record. Why does he keep quiet on these issues?

Inapi raw sila. Ano naman ang natutunan niya sa karanasang ito?

Noong sinabi kong ako’y ipinanganak na mahirap, kaakibat nito ang leksiyong patuloy na mangarap sa kabila ng kahirapan. Nagsipag ako, nagtiyaga. Natuto akong makipagkapwa-tao sa mga tulad kong isinilang na salat sa oportunidad.

Bakit siya naman ngayon ang nang-aapi?

The issues he and his thousand advisers have hurled against me, have hurt not only me but my family and friends. Nasaktan na po ang aking pamilya, maybahay, mga anak, mga kapatid, at ang aking ina.

Paano mo sasabihin sa isang tindera ng hipon at isda na hindi talaga siya mahirap? Paano mo sasabihin sa aking mga kapatid na karangyaan pala ang magsiksikan sa isang banig at isang kulambo, gayung mas malaki pa ang kulungan ng aso ng isang haciendero sa aming tahanan?

Panahon nang basagin ko ang kanilang mga kasinungalingan. Utang nating lahat na mga kumakandidato, Nacionalista man o Liberal, na ipaalam sa taumbayan ang katotohanan.

ANAK NG TONDO

Kasinungalingan ang kanilang paratang na hindi ako kailanman ipinanganak na mahirap.

Katotohan. Ako si Manuel Bamba Villar, Jr., isinilang sa 500 Moriones St., Sta. Maria, Tondo Manila. Ang aking ama ay isang kawani ng pamahalaan, ang aking ina ay naglalako ng isda at hipon sa palengke. Siyam kaming magkakapatid. Nanirahan kami bilang mga squatters. Natutulog kaming siyam na magkakapatid sa isang makitid na banig sa isang maliit na kulambo.

Kapag umuulan tumutulo ang tubig-ulan mula sa butas-butas na bubong ng aming bahay. Kapag malakas ang ulan at bumabaha sa paligid ng aming tinitirhan, naglulutangan ang mga basura sa paligid. Wala kaming pakialam na naliligo sa ulan, lumalangoy sa baha.

Ganyan ang maging mahirap. Bata kami, walang mga ilog at beach sa kamaynilaan. Lalo namang walang swimming pool, jacuzzi, o bath tub sa aming lugar. Sabik kaming lumangoy kahit na sa dagat ng basura.

Hindi nila ito kainlanman mauunawaan.

TINDERO SA DIVISORIA

Kasinungalingang mayaman daw kami kaya sa pribadong Catholic school ako nag-aral.

Katotohanan. Nag-grade 1 ako sa Isabelo de los Reyes elementary school. Kung mayaman kami, sana nag-nursery, kinder, at prep pa ako, pero hindi. Nag-drop out ako sa Isabelo de los Reyes, inaamin ko. Mas ginusto ko pang maglakwatsa at tumulong sa nanay kong magtinda sa Divisoria.

Ang sinasabi nilang Holy Child Catholic School ay dating maliit na paaralang itinayo ng mga pari para sa mga mahihirap. Malapit sa aming bahay, at walking distance lamang. Dun ako nag-aral. “Pribado” dahil hindi pinapatakbo ng pamahalaan pero hindi pribadong kagaya ng La Salle o Ateneo na alam natin ngayon.

Pag gabi, naglalakad kami ng nanay ko papuntang Divisoria. Bumibili kami ng ilang banyerang hipon para itinda sa palengke. Sa likod ng puwesto, sa isang makitid na bangko ako natutulog. Pag dating ng umaga, nagtitinda kami.

Buong buhay ng ina ko, nagtinda siya ng hipon. Bulag na siya ngayon, ngunit patuloy na naluluha sa tuwing maririnig niya ang mga kasinungalingang ipinapakalat ng mga taong kainlanman ay hindi mauunawaan kung paano maging mahirap.

Napakarami nilang nahagilap na dokumento, bakit hindi sila pumunta sa Divisoria at ipagtanong sa mga matatanda doon si Coring na tindera ng hipon, si Nanay Coring na ina ko? Bakit hindi nila puntahan ang mga batang kasama kong nag-swimming sa dagat ng basura o ang mga nakakita sa aking matulog sa gitna ng lansangan?

Katotohan ba talaga o paninirang puri ang motibasyon sa likod ng kanilang pag-iimbestiga?

ANG AKING KAPATID

Kasinungalingan at kalapastanganang kwestiyunin nila na kahirapan nga ang dahilan ng pagkamatay ng aking kapatid.

Katotohanan. Oo, naospital siya sa FEU. Oo, Funeraria Paz ang nag-asikaso sa pag-eembalsamo sa kanya. Alin diyan ang patunay na kailanman ay hindi kami naging mahirap?

Idinala siya sa FEU dahil may kamag-anak kami roon na maaaring tumulong upang mapadali ang pag-admit sa kanya. Dahil ba sa mahirap kami ay hindi na namin nanaising makatanggap ng magandang serbisyo ang miyembro ng pamilyang may sakit? Bakit hindi nila sinabing sa charity ward siya tinanggap?

Namatay siya sa Leukemia, sakit ng lahi namin. Nang mga panahong iyon, hindi namin lubusang nauunawaan ang ibig sabihin ng Leukemia. Lumalaki ang tiyan niya, at wala kaming sapat na perang pambili ng gamot. Ganunpaman, sa panahong kailangan na siyang itakbo sa ospital, iisipin pa ba naman namin na wala kaming pambayad? Iisipin pa ba naman namin na wala pang teknolohiya para sa bone marrow transplant gaya ng sabi ni Esposo?

Sa mahirap, ang cancer ay cancer. Sa mahirap, ang pamilya ay pamilya. Anuman ang sabihin nila, igagapang, ipagpapalimos, ipagmamakaawa ang isang kamag-anak na may sakit.

Nang mamatay siya, at nag-iiyakan kami, iisipin pa ba naman namin kung pang-mayaman o pang-mahirap ang funeraria na mag-eembalsamo sa namatay? Tatanguan nalang namin ang unang ahenteng lalapit, pipirmahan nalang ang unang dokumentong iaabot para lang maisaayos ang bangkay.

Sa bahay siya ibinurol, kasama ng kanyang mga pangarap dahil maaga siyang binawian ng buhay.

Kami na lamang ang nangarap para sa kanya. Ipinagpapatuloy naming ang pangarap na ito hanggang sa ngayon.

Binanggit ko ang kanyang kuwento sa aking commercial upang magbigay-inspirasyon sa kapwa naming mahihirap.

They violated the memory of my brother by putting spins on our life and his death. This is what Noynoy Aquino and the Liberal Party call principled campaign. Cheap politics. Cheap politicians!

Hindi sila mga Diyos para magsabing bawal mangarap ang mahihirap!

LUPA SA NAVOTAS

Natatakot kayong maniwala ang mga mamamayan sa aking kuwento dahil natatakot kayong maglakas-loob ang mga magsasaka’t mga kasama na pangaraping balang araw ay ariin ang inyong mga hacienda, ang lupang kanilangang binubungukal at pinagyayaman.

Minamana ninyo ang inyong mga lupain at ari-arian. Dangal lamang ang maipapamana ng mahihirap sa kanilang mga anak.

Nangarap ang aking pamilya, nagsipag at nagtiyaga. Ipinangutang sa gobyerno ang lupa at tahanang nilipatan.

Hindi ito kagaya ng San Raphael Village na binabanggit ni Winnie Monsod. Hindi ito exclusive subdivision noon, walang gate, walang guwardiya. Hindi sementado, hindi aspaltado. Isang kapirasong lupa sa Navotas, malapit sa Smokey Mountain, lubog sa baha tuwing umuulan.

Kasinungalingang sabihing patunay ito na hindi kami naghirap.

Ang katotohanan ay patunay itong unti-unti man ay nakaangat din kami at maaaring makaahon ang sinumang matapang na haharapin ang mga hamon ng buhay.

SINO ANG TUTA NI ARROYO

Ang katotohana’y naninira sila upang pagtakpan ang kahinaan ng kanilang kandidato. Ang katotohanang sa loob ng tatlong termino sa mababang kapulungan at kalahating termino sa senado ay walang naipasa ni isang batas si Noynoy Aquino.

‘Yan naman ang kanilang sagutin. Hindi ba’t trabaho ng isang mambabatas ang magpasa ng batas? Hindi ba’t nangako at nanumpa siyang gagampanan ang responsibilidad na ito, sa mamamayan, sa Diyos, at sa Konstitusyon ng Pilipinas?

Walang-bahala, iresponsable, at tamad, ipagkakatiwala ba natin sa kanya ang kinabukasan ng ating bayan?

Nasaan si Aquino nang iniimbestigahan ang Hello Garci? Hindi ba’t hinarangan niya ang pagpapatugtog ng Hello Garci tapes upang protektahan ang kanyang kaalyadong si Gloria Arroyo?

Mula sa fertilizer scam, Hello Garci, NBN-ZTE broadband, north at south rails, inimbestigahan ang mga ‘yan sa ilalim ng aking pamumuno bilang Senate President. Pinangunahan ng partido Nacionalista ang pag-iimbestiga. Nasaan sila noon?

Sa halip na tumulong ay nakiisa sila sa Administrasyong Arroyo upang palitan ako bilang Senate President. Opo, nakiisa si Noynoy Aquino at Mar Roxas upang tanggalin ako sa puwesto. At nang sila na ang nakaupo, inimbestigahan ba nilang muli si Arroyo? Hindi.

Ako daw ang sikretong kandidato ni Gloria, ngunit kaninong mga kamag-anak ang kasama ng mga Arroyo sa poder maging hanggang sa kasalukuyan? Hindi ba’t ang mga Cojuangco at mga Aquino?

Ilan sa mga dating miyembro ng gabinete ni Arroyo ang nasa grupo ngayon ni Aquino? Dapat bang paniwalaan na nanatili silang malinis sa kabila ng ilang taong paninilbihan sa isang tiwaling pamahalaan?

ANG C5 ROAD EXTENSION

Mga hipokrito’t mapagpanggap, ako ang inimbestigahan nila sa halip na ang administrasyong kanilang kunwari’y pinupulaan.

Kung totoong may kinalaman ako sa diumano’y kontrobersiya sa C5 Road Extension, di sana’y sa husgado nila ako kinasuhan. Wala akong immunity kagaya ng isang Pangulo Gloria Arroyo. Madali akong maisasakdal kung talaga mayroon silang ebidensiya.

Sa halip ay pinulitika nila ang Senado. Ang mga taong nagtanggal sa akin bilang Senate President ay siya ring nagsabing may kinalaman ako sa C5.

In truth, like the Cojuangco-Aquinos, Araneta-Roxases, and Madrigals, these are the old-rich in Philippine society who cannot and will not accept that someone who comes from the ranks of the poor may just one day lead this nation.

Hindi kayang tanggapin ng mga naghaharing-uring mga ito na isang katulad kong dating mahirap ang mamumuno sa ating bansa. At upang huwag suportahan ng ating mga kababayan ang kagaya nilang hindi haciendero o nagmula sa angkan ng mga pulitiko, sari-saring dumi at baho ang kanilang iimbentuhin upang mapanatili ang kanilang mga pamilya sa kapangyarihan.

BABAWIING GASTOS SA KAMPANYA???

Napakalaki na raw ng ginastos ko sa kampanya. Babawiin ko raw ito kung sakaling umupo ako sa Malacanang.

Nangarap po akong maging Speaker of the House of Representatives, natupad ko na ito. Nangarap po akong maging Senate President, natupad ko na rin ito. Ang pagiging Pangulo na marahil ang pinakamatayog sa aking mga pangarap.

Nang mga panahong pinagsasaluhan ng aking pamilya ang kakarampot na pagkain sa mesa, nang mga panahong kailangan kong magbanat ng buto para makapag-aral, nang mga panahong may magkakasakit sa pamilya at wala kaming mahugot na pambili ng gamot --- nang mga panahon ding iyon ay pinangarap kong sana’y magkaroon tayo ng Pangulong kayang tumulong upang wakasan ang ating kahirapan.

Isinilang ang pangarap na iyon sa aking kamusmusan. Ngayong ako’y may sapat nang kakayahan upang tuparin iyon, bakit ko tatalikuran ang pagkakataong makapagsilbi sa mga taong katulad ko’y nangarap ng isang mas magandang bukas?

Hindi ako isinilang na anak ng isang pangulo’t isang bayani, ngunit sa aking mga mata’y wala nang hihigit pa sa kadakilaan at kabayanihan ng aking mga magulang.

If an haciendero can claim to never besmirch the legacy of his parents, why can’t a Tondo boy say the same?

Bakit ko rin yuyurakan ang ala-ala ng aking ama? Bakit ko rin sisirain ang pangalan ng aking inang bagama’t bulag ay makikita pa rin kung ako ay naging mabuti o masamang pangulo?

Hindi ba’t sa isang anak ay magkasing-halaga ang sakripisyo ng isang Cory na pangulo ng Pilipinas at isang Coring na tindera sa Divisoria?

Gumastos ako upang magpakilala. Ginastos ko ang salaping aking pinaghirapan mula pa pagkabata.

Hindi ako nangungutahang-loob sa mga campaign contributors. Wala akong kailangang pagbayaran sakaling maging pangulo. Ilang mga pulitiko, mayayamang pamilya, at mga kamag-anak ang kailangang pagbayarang-utang ng isang Noynoy Aquino?

Kung may pinagkakautangang-loob man ako, ito ay ang mga kasama kong lumaki sa Tondo at kasamang nagtingda sa Divisoria na nagsilbing inspirasyon sa aking kinatatayuan sa kasalukuyan.

Hindi gaya ni Noynoy, mayroon akong mga anak. Dangal at magandang pangalan ang gusto kong ipamana sa kanila.

HINDI AKO MAGNANAKAW!

Hindi magnanakaw

Sabi niya sa kanya ang mga linyang ito?

Nagnakaw na po siya simula nang naging maging bahagi at nakinabang siya sa isang pamilyang nagkait sa mga magsasaka ng Luisita sa lupang sila dapat ang nagmamay-ari.

He was a Congressman, he is a Senator. Why didn’t he do anything?

Dapat bang paniwalaan ang pangako niya ngayong tumatakbo siyang pangulo gayung naging bulag, bingi, at tamad siya sa lumipas na napakaraming mga taon?

Ang mambabatas na walang ipinasang batas ay pangulong hindi kayang panguluhan ang bansa.

The Luisita farmers shall have their land not under another Aquino regime. They shall have it under my presidency!

ANG ISYU

‘Yan po ang isyu sa eleksiyong ito at hindi ang paninirang-puring patuloy na pinagkukublihan ng salat sa kakayahan.

Kasinungalingan ang sabihing may sinseridad mamuno ang isang kandidatong hindi namuno at nanilbihan ng tapat sa mga posisyong kanya nang nahawakan.

Kasinungalingang sabihing mamumuno ng mahusay ang taong walang track record.

An incompetent cannot run a government. His advisers will do that for him. Ang isang mangmang ay paiikut-ikotin lamang ng mga buwitreng nakapaligid sa kanya.

A vote for Manny Villar is a vote for Manny Villar. A vote for Noynoy Aquino, is a vote for his thousand advisers.

Laban ito ng isang Tondo boy sa isang haciendero sampu ng kanyang mga kamag-anak, alipores, at tagapagpayo,.

Sa tulong at tiwala ninyo, hindi ko sila uurungan.

Mas kilalanin pa si Manny Villar sa, http://www.mannyvillar.com.ph/

It is not the criminal things that are hardest to confess, but the ridiculous and the shameful.

-Jean Jacques Rousseau

The news article of Ms. Rachel Arnaiz on Philippine Daily Inquirer's last March 20, 2010 is unbelievable.

It was about the "restricted" sort of "scripted" press conference held in Samar of Liberal Party's Noynoy Aquino. The Provincial Information office, as instructed by Aquino's staff, "briefed" the media to stop the media from asking questions on sensitive topics such as the Reproductive Health Bill, Hacienda Luisita, Taxation issues, etc.

I strongly believe that a press conference by any "presidential candidate" should be without restriction, no banned questions, no holds barred. Transparency!
What is he hiding?
Is he afraid that he can't answer these sensitive questions truthfully? Is he scared of showing his being "fickle-minded" to the public?
Is the Liberal Party hiding something? These "Sensitive" questions should be answered.

The people need answers.
Do not make the Filipinos "mangmang".

Seems like Noynoy wants to be with Tito Boy at SNN.

Showbiz News Ngayon or better yet... Scripted NoyNoy?

Oh, it was also heartbreaking for the people of Samar. They prepared a lunch for the LP presidential candidate. and Noynoy skipped it.

He just went there for the press-con. He chose to went at the "restricted/scripted" presscon to make a fool of himself rather than to spend time with the people.

Talaga naman oh! tsk.

twas BLIND but NOW i SEE...✔

2010-03-21T22:33:00.000-07:00

At that moment of realization I knew that I had been blind because I had wished not to see; it was only then that I realized, at last, i am awaken!

My political thoughts were bewildered last February 25, 2010. I became uncertain of what my real color is... Well, politically speaking, hindi pwede ang black and white, it should be black or white. Hindi pwede ang lukewarm, it's either you're hot or cold. In my case, I have to chose... I have to make a decision.

Frankly, I was a Gibo believer then. Why? Because of his famous political advertisement, Galing and Talino. And that I had sit at the same table with him. That's it. I must admit, that was SHALLOW. very shallow.

NOW is the time to choose a candidate base on substantial facts and deeper knowledge.

It was just last Thursday when my colleagues saw my new baller ID, from the usual green baller that i wear, they saw a more vibrant color of baller id with Senator Manny Villar's name on it.

I heard accusations such as "balimbing", "walang integridad", "pabago-bago ng isip", and the WORST accusation of them all is.. "next week, Noynoy na yan". I was like, WTF! ugh.

Whatever. In my opinion, it is never too late to learn, to acquire knowledge, to change minds. Huwag nating hayaang nakakahon ang utak natin. Regardless of your age, your education, your color... you have the power to choose who are you going to vote for in May 2010. and it is NEVER too late to decide.

How thankful am I that God had given me wisdom. I am finally coming out in the open.

I boldly choose
Manuel "Manny" Bamba Villar, Jr.

SO WHY MBV???

As a political science student, i had this comparative table of presidential candidates.

Kitang-kita at Palong-palo...

NOW is the time to take a closer look at Senator Manny B. Villar.
I was BLIND then... but NOW I SEE.

OK, really, i don't really know how to start.

I'm a neophyte. I'm not even a blogger.

In fact, this will be my first blog entry.

But I'm a reader. I'm an observer.
I'm a political science student.

I want change. I want to be a change maker.

This will be my space. My opinions, perceptions, beliefs, and principles.

Basically, my blog will concentrate on the Philippines' political affairs, especially, the most significant event of the year, May 2010 election.

And of course, this will be my way of helping "THE MAN" I believe in.

As a student, I want to help Senator Manny B. Villar in his campaign, in my own little way.

so there,

ako TO talaga! ✔

ako, Team Orange talaga! ✔
