By Raïssa Robles
I’ve always suspected the Chinese read my blog – given what I’ve written about the West Philippine Sea. Yesterday I found out Malaysia was reading it as well.
Channel News Asia and Malaysian online newspaper newstraitstimes.com separately reported that on May 19 Malaysia’s foreign ministry summoned the Philippine Charge d’Affaires Medardo Macaraig to give him an earful over what President Benigno Aquino told me when I asked if he was dropping the Philippine claim to Sabah.
Aquino had replied he was not dropping the claim and I had reported his explanation word for word. You can read it in my blog post entitled “I will not drop Sabah claim, President Aquino told me.”
Malaysia huffily told Macaraig “its position that Malaysia does not recognise and will not entertain any claims by any party on Sabah”, Channel News Asia reported.
You can access the reports of Channel News Asia here and that of newstraitstimes.com here , as well as another news report here .
I was curious what the actual Malaysian foreign ministry statement contained. A source kindly sent me the English and Malay versions below:
PRESS RELEASE
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MalaysiaFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
YB MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS MALAYSIA
ON THE PHILIPPINES’ CLAIM ON SABAHOn 19 May 2015, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Malaysia summoned Mr. Medardo G. Macaraig, the Philippine Charge d’Affaires over the remarks made by His Excellency Benigno S. Aquino III, President of the Republic of the Philippines, on the Philippines’ claim on Sabah in an interview by Miss Raissa Robles on 15 May 2015.
The Government of Malaysia reiterates its position that Malaysia does not recognise and will not entertain any claims by any party on Sabah. Sabah is recognised by the United Nations (UN) and international community as part of Malaysia since 16 September 1963.

PUTRAJAYA
20 MEI 2015
As I told President Aquino during my interview with him, this is not the time to take up the Sabah issue.
However, I would just like to share with my readers and commenters the raw copy of an article I had submitted to South China Morning Post on the issue of Sabah on August 31, 2002, in the hope that this will contribute to the understanding of the issue. I don’t have a copy of the published and edited version.
This piece is highly interesting because it has the Malaysian ambassador to Manila then admitting that the Malaysian government pays the Sultanate of Sulu a yearly rent of 5,000 ringgit.
I also recall – although I did not write this into the story – that Ambassador Taufik told the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines then that he had just personally delivered a check to the Sultanate’s family.
Here is my draft version of the story:
Sabah: the problem refuses to die
RAISSA ROBLES in Manila
In the southern Philippine island of Bongao, Tawi-Tawi, host to thousands of Filipinos forcibly deported from Sabah, the Malaysian ringgit is as much legal tender as the peso.
It’s not that natives of Bongao feel their island is part of Malaysia. It’s because they, as well as thousands of Muslim residents in the adjoining islands, feel Sabah is really part of Muslim Mindanao.
“They go there to shop the way people in Manila go to the malls,” noted Congressman Jose Lozada, House foreign relations committee chairman.
Sabah is five hours away by speedboat from Bongao and 12 hours on a slow ferry.
Early this year, Malaysia’s finance ministry had paid the Royal Sultanate of Sulu in southern Philippines its yearly “rent” of 5,000 ringgit for Sabah, Malaysian ambassador to Manila Mohamed Taufik confirmed to South China Morning Post.
Later, Ambassador Taufik took great pains to stress that this was not rent but a “cession fee”.
And there lies the nagging problem over Sabah.
Sabah’s official website acknowledges that the territory was originally a thank you gift by Sultan Bolkiah of Brunei in 1658 to the Sultan of Sulu for helping put down an internal revolt.
Then the website claims that in 1877, the Sultan of Sulu concluded a “treaty…ceding large portions of territory” to Baron Von Overbeck, the Austrian consul in Hong Kong, and his British financial backers, Alfred and Edward Dent.
The Sultanate’s version is quite different and is borne out by the original document. It uses the word “padjak”, which Spanish, Dutch and American linguists have defined as an “arrendiamento” or a “lease”.
Although the Baron was granted “absolute authority” over residents of the “land beneath the wind” – since Sabah was shielded from storms – the agreement forbade the Baron from transferred his rights to another company or to a sovereign state without the Sultan’s permission.
When the United States “bought” the Philippines from Spain for US$20 million under the Treaty of Paris in 1898, Sabah was not part of the deal.
However, the US officially reminded Great Britain in 1906 and again in 1920 that Sabah did not belong to the Crown but to the Sultanate of Sulu.
When the US granted the Philippines independence in 1946, the country’s constitution asserted its claim for “all other areas which belong to the Philippines on the basis of historical rights or legal claims.”
Malaya became independent from British rule in 1957
but it was only in May 1961 that Malaya’s Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman, agreed to accept Singapore, another British-administered colony, into the federation on condition that other British colonies, including Sabah which was then known as North Borneo, be integrated too.The Sultanate of Sulu formally asked the Philippine government to act on its behalf. President Diosdado Macapagal, father of incumbent President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, vehemently opposed the annexation and sent a delegation to London to formalize the claim.
Both sides agreed to allow the United Nations to conduct a referendum to determine the will of Sabah residents.
To this day, Philippine officials claim that referendum was rigged with the help of British authorities to favor Malaysia.
When Mrs Arroyo visited Malaysia this May, she did not take up the Sabah issue.
However, Mr Mahathir opened up the subject and suggested that Manila open a consulate in Sabah to take care of an estimated half a million Filipinos staying there with and without papers. In doing so, Manila would have effectively dropped its claim, Philippine ambassador to Kuala Lumpur, Jose Brillantes said.
Another ranking Philippine official disclosed: “She (Mrs Arroyo) proposed that this be taken up in another setting, which if you ask me, that showed our lack of preparation on the issue itself.”

THREE QUESTIONS FOR A PRESIDENT
If I would have the opportunity to ask every candidate vying for the presidency, the three questions I would like to ask are:
1. What will you do the improve the economy and reduce unemployment in the country?
2. Are you in favor of an anti-dynasty law limiting family members to two for all elective offices?
3. How will you handle China’s expansionism and flexing of military muscle in SE Asia?
The candidate who, in my opinion, could give the best answers to my three questions would get my vote.
wan says
president need not be experienced or intelligent in politics. all he/she needs is to follow the dictates of the heart for what is good for the country and be surrounded and advised by good and wise people who have also the interest of the country first. heshe does not even need to think of the solutions of the country’s problem, the wise experts and specialists should provide it to himher, all shehe needs to do is to pick the best option presented. by hisher experts/advisers who should present to herhim various alternatives with its risks and benefits. as a dreamer this country can be great again with an effective implementation and enforcement of the law for all, whether powerful or weakling, rich or poor, famous or unknown.and the justice system, a common sense justice system at di bayaran, we have to admit that one of our problem is the bulok at bayaran na justice system. tama c duterte he wants to see that criminals are meted their sentence quickly via d vigilantes. i vote duterte for p.
T2 MAC says
Exclude Binay for he is no longer “qualified” to run for presidency, his being notoriously crook soon to be charged with plunder in court. Furthermore, his dynastic tendencies putting up her “unqualified” daughter as a senator of the land is unabashedly shameful and rotten to the core.
caliphman says
So what happened to fighting corruption as a top issue? Here we are not even a year away from the elections, an electable Daang Matuwid candidate to replace Pinoy who swept into power on this issue, and Binay still poised to win the presidency according to the polls.
caliphman says
“…..,still undecided on an electable Daang Matuwid csandidate to replace Pinoy…”. Errata
yvonne says
@caliphman
If that question is intended for me, yes fighting against corruption is a top issue, not only for me, but for my entire family.
Unlike people who “talked the talk” about fighting corruption, we actually “walked the talk”. We experienced living with 24-hour lived-in security provided by the government when my family was threatened with harm by powerful people because we chose to fight corruption at its core.
My father who was a high level government official and worked at the AFP during the Marcos administration chose to be a decent man. Rather than be rich, he fought against corruption until his retirement and he is now solely financially dependent on his government pension, and we, his children, help him financially at the twilight of his life because he refused to receive any bribe during his career in government. A brother of mine who worked at the NBI testified many times in court against drug dealers at a great risk to his life. I also have immediate family members who worked in different high level government positions whose only common denominator is to fight against corruption no matter who is the sitting president.
So, yes, fighting against corruption has been, and still is, on the top of my list.
yvonne says
Maybe, I missed your question – what happens to fighting corruption?
Each and everyone of us has different capability and skill set.
Those of us who have the capability to influence other people (the heads of family, the bread winners, the teachers, the civic leaders, the OFWs, etc.) should undertake a grassroots level of educating those within their sphere of influence on the importance of selecting the right candidates in an election.
Those of us who have the access and the capability to expose instances of graft and corruption should continue to expose those incidence of malfeasance.
Everyone of us should initiate, or continue one’s effort, to make our collective voice be heard by our government officials – from the barangay level up to the highest level of government, whenever the opportunity arises.
And many more.

Rene-Ipil says
The Philippine presidency cannot be entrusted to an OJT. Coming from our past mistakes as well as achievements in selecting the president from Cory to PNoy, we must now select in 2016 a president who could “take by the horns” the present problems created by bully China and Bangsamoro elements.
How can we get an honest, competent and decisive president who could galvanize and unite the Filipino people? The Bangsamoro, Cebuanos, illongos, Tagalogs, Warays, Lumads, Tausugs, Ilocanos, etc. Who could make both the rich and the poor toe the government line? As a starter, that president should get not only a majority vote but an overwhelming majority vote of the people.
Who among the present presidential wannabes has that capability? Only such president could stop corruption in government and private enclaves. Only such president could collect so much taxes to finance our country’s credible defense posture. Only such president could organize the best Filipino team. Only such president could bring out the best in the Filipino people of whatever ethnic origin. A president who could “walk the talk.”
His name reverberates in Visayas and Mindanao, and in Luzon to a lesser decibel. But he refuses to run as president. Yes, DUTERTE would not RUN as president.
DUTERTE, unlike those salivating for the position of president, does not want to run. But the people can ask him to file his COC as president and let him stay in Davao while the people do the campaigning for his election as president. And he would be beholden to nobody but the Filipino people.
IMO the people needs Duterte as their president more than Duterte needs the position. So don’t ask him to RUN. Let him WALK to Malacañang and make sacrifice for a grateful Filipino nation.
To all Filipinos who dream a truly free nation. Let’s hear this song from “Les Miserables.”
“Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes.

Any candidate, and I mean ANY, can use the above to challenge ANY incumbent. Such florid, motherhood statements will do well for a campaign caravan but not so well in a reasoned, deliberative forum.
Duterte personally doesn’t want the presidency but “the people” are asking him? Ha! With all due respect to Duterte and his accomplishments in Davao, it takes a lot more than a people’s clamor, you gotta want it bad enough, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

@raissa,
Will there be a write-up for this?
Kalahari says
From Rappler today – “FPJ’S CITIZENSHIP WOES A GLIMPSE OF GRACE POE’S BATTLE AHEAD”
“FPJ was born out of wedlock. The petitioner said he acquired the citizenship of his American mother at birth because his father – A Spanish-turned-Filipino citizen – did not acknowledge him in his birth certificate. The SC favored FPJ’s candidacy, but the decision did not come until March, 2004 or two months before the polls.”
SC Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, who in 2004 voted against FPJ’s qualification, said the burden of proof belongs to the candidate. “Any person who claims to be qualified to run for president because he is, among others, a natural-born Philippine citizen, has the burden of proving he is a natural-born citizen.” he wrote in his dissenting opinion. Carpio argued that FPJ was also unable to prove that his known Filipino father was his real father, which he said is important to verify in case of an alien mother.
On the issue of residency as repeatedly discussed here, the count should begin from the date she renounced her US citizenship, which Poe said was “sometime October, 2010.”
Now comes the bombshell from @baycas that “US Government record shows Senator Grace Poe dropping US citizenship in 2012.” If true, how about her appointment to MTRB sometime in 2010 which could be questioned now since she was a US national at that time?
Excerpt from the gma news online 6/3/15 ‘Law experts divided if Poe meets 10-year residency rule’ – “The lawmaker (Poe) however explained that she had already renounced her US citizenship even before she became chairperson of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) in 2010.”
Victinluz says
Upon the renouncement of his US citizenship , GRACE becme a Filipino citizen from birth again and her domicile during the time she was a US citizen was still in the Philipppines because of our country allowed Filipinos to have DUAL CITIZEN ..she can have her one foot at US and the other foot in the Phi…….meaning when Grace was in the Phil., she is a Filipino and the first one to help you will be the Philippine government and when Grace is in the US in case of emergency the US government will take care of you right away…so her domicile being in the philipines ( grace said she never intended to change her domicile even after acquiring US citizen ) so ADD ON ang residency mo from birth …in the Imelda case and Caasi case ….bawal na ang isang paa mo nasa US at ang isa naman ay nasa Pilipinas …wala pa namang o hindi pa pweding mag DUAL CITIZEN tayo .noon
Caliphman says
Koreck ka diyan…hindi talaga ang dual citizenship ang problema kung hindi ang importanteng isyu ay ang naglalaban na ‘allegiance’. Atsaka pa hindi naman isyu ito ng residenya kung hindi tungkol sa citiizenship ng mga tumatakbo para maging presidente.

Would you know, or from your own reliable sources if Grace Poe-Llamanzares was issued with a US Passport by the Washington Passport Agency in December 2011 while she was the Chairman of the MTRCB back in October 10, 2010 to October 2, 2012)?
Victinluz says
@mel….request issuance of US passport and utilizing is not tantamount of an INTENT to retain your US citizenship….if ever GRACE did this, was for the purpose of travelling and settling HER ACCOUNTs in the United States expeditiously since impliedly Grace already renounces her US citizenship.

Dito kasi sa blogsite na ito mas makaka-ambag ka kung ang rason mo eh ‘Basta’ at walang basehan sa katangian.
Sabi mo iboboto mo si Poe at iboboto mo rin si Roxas pag kalaban sila ni Binay. Ngayon angbtanong ko, kung one on one, sino angnpipiliin mo sa labanan kungbsi Poe at Roxas ang magkatunggali sa pagka presidente?

1. sa mga survey at sa mga susunud na surveys …. GRACE will have a higher % of winning against BINAY rather than Roxas.
2. IMHO both were honest to their respective job’s given to them , as a whole.
3. Both are qualified to run for P
4. Both have reservation with the Marcoses
5. Roxas is an Oligarch but Grace was not..
6, Roxas even with the backing of PNOY , he can not solidly get the votes rich provinces of Pangasinan and other Provinces in the Ilocos in LUZON . POE can.
7. To date , Roxas can not show any excellent performance in handling his job as DILG chief and even when she was the TRADE and INDUSTRY chief of Gloria…
Victinluz says
8. Roxas if he wins the P, he can never deliver RAMOS to prison or even to the court… daming ninakaw sa ating bayan si Fodel…POE with the nacking of Ilocano Generals she can so as DUTERTE with the backing of the NPA , MILF and MNLF, he can also place Ramos in jail .
T2 MAC says
Victimluz, just because she is popular and leading in surveys and apparently honest doesn’t mean she is already “qualified” to run as President. As for me, she isn’t “qualified” yet as she is still too raw for the post (zero leadership experience in highly significant role) and hasn’t shown yet her true mettle to prove that she is ready for the job.
Remember, this is the presidency she is gunning for and the country cannot afford the risk of failure if we found later she doesn’t have what it takes to do the job what with the many problems that beset the country right now (China, BBL, corruption, economy, etc…). Also, her close association with the corrupt Estradas and Chiz ,the ultimate trapo whom she is most comfortable with, I find her character highly suspect and I am afraid her decision-making will be highly influenced by them.
Victinluz says
Association- parang maling paratang iyan sir… Kaibigan nya at ninong nya pwede kasi pag sinabi mong association nya ay kasama sya sa mga graft nila. At saka si chiz mayroon bang graft? Talking about risk ,,si Roxas ba wala tayong RISK? sa yolanda lang reliefs ano ang ginawa nya doon? Caught in his own words diba…ANO ang sabi …ang Tacloban ay opposition kaya 2nd priority or what hindi kuna matanadaan …ikaw ba alam mo pa ang palpak na pinagsasabi ni Roxas noon sa mga Romualdez…. Buhay o kabuhayan para mabuhay ang pinag uusapan doon, tama ba ang mga TAKLISA na stetment nya?
Victinluz says
Give some hard policy/problems that you can project that Grace can not do it or solve them….give us…and i will give also the problems that arises during the tenure of Ramos and Gloria and Pnoy too. That they handled WRONG an in acurate as if they have not acquired vast of experience before the became our Presidents..
Victinluz says
Experience ang gusto nyong palabasin na hindi si Grace qualified diba…sige mag isip ka ano ano ang mga problemang darating sa atin…..at isipin mudin ang mga problema na dumating noong presidente ang mga sinabi ko na nagawan nila ng tama dahil sa experince nila…. Sagut sir …at pag usapan natin isa isa dito..
BFD says
1. sa mga survey at sa mga susunud na surveys …. GRACE will have a higher % of winning against BINAY rather than Roxas.
True, it just shows that you just go for the winner, not on principle.
2. IMHO both were honest to their respective job’s given to them , as a whole.
True, no comment as far as performance job is concerned
3. Both are qualified to run for P
Not quite, Grace is still searching for his biological parents, so her natural born Filipino is still up in the air and might spoil her qualification when the time comes
4. Both have reservation with the Marcoses
We’re not sure what their stand is vis-a-vis the Marcoses
5. Roxas is an Oligarch but Grace was not..
For Roxas, true. For Grace, we’re not sure unless the rumors can be dispelled
6, Roxas even with the backing of PNOY , he can not solidly get the votes rich provinces of Pangasinan and other Provinces in the Ilocos in LUZON . POE can.
Maybe, maybe not, but there are other vote rich areas that can counter the Ilocano vote.
7. To date , Roxas can not show any excellent performance in handling his job as DILG chief and even when she was the TRADE and INDUSTRY chief of Gloria…
Not true, as has been reported, the BPO industry has brought opportunities to millions of Filipino youths and even senior citizens. It has leveled the playing field as far as age-appropriate job opportunity is concerned. You can see in the BPO industry even 50- to 60-year-old men and women manning their computers talking or servicing foreign clients via the internet.
8. Roxas if he wins the P, he can never deliver RAMOS to prison or even to the court… daming ninakaw sa ating bayan si Fodel…POE with the nacking of Ilocano Generals she can so as DUTERTE with the backing of the NPA , MILF and MNLF, he can also place Ramos in jail .
Who can? None of them can. I don’t believe that Poe has the backing of the Ilocano generals and Duterte has not yet tried to wrestle with the big fish, let alone big political personality on a national level.

Foundling’s citizenship at State’s Perspective!
Okay, nailahad ko ang pananaw ko bilang isang mamamayang Pilipino tungkol sa Foundlings(12 months and younger) citizenship na dapat eh automatic Natural-Born Filipino Citizen sila at nabanggit ko dahil sa Common Sense and Common Decency at maging pantay-pantay ang rights para naman pagdating ng panahon eh pwede ilang mangarap na maging Presidente o pwesto sa gobyerno na isa sa requirements eh dapat Natural Born ka.
*
Ngayon, pilitin ko namang usisain kung bakit di dapat Natural Born Citizen ang Foundling sa mata ng Estado.
Ibalik natin ang nakaraan. Bakit ba Jus Sanguinis(Right of Blood) instead na Jus Soli (Right of the Soil).
Right of Blood – Dapat may dugong Pilipino
Right of the Soil – Dapat pinanganak sa territoro ng Pilipinas
Sa Europa na marami ang mga mamayan na naging stateless dahil natunaw o nabura ang kanilang dating bansa at pinanganak na sila sa lugar na di original na territoryo ng nakakasakop at ang nakakasakop ay may batas na pag pinanganak ka lang sa lugar nila(Jus Soli) eh citizen ka, at ang solusyon nila para di maging stateless yung mga bago nilang nasasakupan eh naging base sa dugo (Jus Sanguinis) at di dahil sa lugar ng pinanganakan. Komplikado pero naging instrumento para maging mainam at maprotektahan ang estado at ang nasasakupang mamamayan. Google nyo dahil maraming klase ng kaso at rason.
Pero balikan natin ang Pilipinas. Noong panahon, marami ring dumadayong mga banyaga sa atin tulad ng mga Intsik at mga Hapon. Ang mga Political Leaders natin noong bago pa lang ang ating bansa under ng Amerika eh may duda sa mga banyaga tulad ng Intsik dahil nga di naman sila Pilipino at isolationist sila (Meaning di sila basta nag-assimilate sa ating kultura kahit na pinanganak na ang mga susunod na henerasyon) at duda pang maiigi ang Estado na ang allegiance o katapatan eh nas China pa. Ang solusyon ng ating mga lideres ay protektahan ang Estado na ang pwede lang may pagkakataon na mahalal o maipwesto sa matataas na pwesto sa gobyerno at sa pinakamataas na pwesto ng Presidente ay dugong Pilipino. Tama rin ang kanilang concern kasi may posibilidad na ang isang Intsik na ang katapatan ay nasa China ay sya ang pwedeng mamuno sa Pilipinas eh delikadong ipagkanulo ang ating interest at mapasakamay ng Tsina ang ating mga ari-arian at kung ano pang mahalagang interest na di dapat natin ibigay sa banyaga.
Ang solusyon ay ang Jus Sanguinis (Right of Blood)- Natural Born Citizen para siguradong di banyaga ang mamumuno sa mga sensitibo at makapangyarihang pwesto.
Pero di rin tinanggalan ng karapatan ang mga banyaga na maging Pilipino kahit sila ay walang dugong Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng paraang maging Naturalized Pilipino Citizen. Ang kaibahan lang ay ang karapatang mapwesto sa mga nabanggit kong sensitibong mga pwesto tulad ng Presidente at VP at pati na rin pagiging Senador at Congressman/woman. Sa mga Local officials eh Filipino Citizen lang at pwede ang Naturalized. Ibig sabihin, ang Gobernador o Mayor eh pag namatay ang Presidente at VP ay di pwedeng makapwesto ang nga opisyales ng LGU at mga nasa Konggreso at Senado lamang na mga Natural-Born Filipino Citizens.
Sa kaso ng Foundling, ang Estado ay di sigurado kung may dugo ngang Filipino ang isang batang sanggol na iniwan. Pwedeng banyaga ang mga magulang. Pero di naman masasabi na walang puso ang Estado dahil pag inampon ang bata mga Pilipino Citizen eh automatico eh Filipino Citizen din sya thru the spirit of Naturalization. So may karapatang civil at political ang isang foundling pero di tulad ng isang Natural Born Filipino Citizen.
Sa mata ng Estado, balanse ang ganitong solusyon dahil protektado ang civil at political rights ng Foundling at protektado rin ang requirements na dapat may dugong Pilipino ang mamuno sa ating bansa na WALANG DUDA! 100% Pilipino Blood!
*
Ang posisyon ko naman ay hango sa ating modernong pananaw at realistic na pang-unawa na ang isang Foundling na napulot sa Pilipinas ay usually 99% ang tsansa na ang isa sa mga magulang ay Natural Born na Pilipino. Noong mapulot sya at maging adopted ng Filipino Citizen at ang pagkalinga at gabay ng mga magulang na Filipino ay tulad din ng sa mga confirmed na Natural Born na mga bata, ang kaibahan lang dahil may DUDA sa kanyang dugo. Napatunayan din natin na ang mga natural born na mga Presidente, VP, Senators at mga Congressmen/women eh mga kurap at magnanakaw din at di dahil dugong Pilipino sila ay sigurado ng di ipapagkanulo ang Pilipinas. So sa akin dapat natural born citizen ang Foundling at kung dumating ang panahon na mabigyan ya ng pagkakataon na magsilbi sa bayan sa gitna na kanyang pinagdaanan sa buhay na may kirot at lamat ng parusa at nabigyan ng pangalawang buhay eh ang Foundling ay deserving na magkaron ng pagkakataong maihain ang kanyang serbisyo publiko sa mga mamamyang Pilipino.
Sana magkaron tayo ng malawak na pananaw at di lang tayo sa personalidad tumitingin at pumipili dahil sa popularidad or naaawa dahil ang isang kandidato ay Ampon o may pinagdaanan sa buhay. Ang dapat nating piliin ay yung gusto nating humawak sa pwesto at sa tingin natin ay matino at magampanan ng maayos ang sinumpaang servisyo publiko. Pwedeng madismayaulit tayo pero bakit di natin ipaglaban ang ating kandidato di dahil sya ang pinaka popular sa masa kundi dahil sa ating sariling pang-unawa at pagtimbang na kung ikaw lang ang pipipili at wala ng iba sino ang pipiliin mo na magserbisyo para sa ikabubuti ng buhay mo o ng mga anak at apo mo?

Many here at CPM, I believe, agree to this that a ‘foundling’ should be a Natural-born Filipino citizen, even with having a doubt due to unknown identity. That is why the person is catgegorized as a ‘foundling.’
Parekoy@ also said:
‘Napatunayan din natin na ang mga natural born na mga Presidente, VP, Senators at mga Congressmen/women eh mga kurap at magnanakaw din at di dahil dugong Pilipino sila ay sigurado ng di ipapagkanulo ang Pilipinas.’ Here there is no DOUBT.
Many gov’t leaders, civilian or otherwise, even in the military, some or many are corrupt or have been corrupt throughout their lives in government service. The proof? Look at our situation. Our country cannot defend itself from other countries. I don’t know when this corruption and too much of it really started. One said here It has become a VISION to be corrupt! Something like that.
Parekoy@ also made mention of the problem on citizenship in Europe. I say it was also a problem in the USA where we were once like a protectorate or Colony at that. Citizenship issues were decided here following what was not followed in USA on ‘Jus Soli’ but by ‘Jus Sanguinis.’ Once upon a time here it was ‘Jus Soli.’ Check our old SC decisions. But the SC after looking at our early laws when we were under US jurisdiction did not tell that the Philippine Territory follow ‘Jus Soli.’ So there was a change of rule on citizenship later on and until to the present, the change is the rule – Jus Sanguinis doctrine.
Is it time to think whether the doctrines of ‘Jus Sanguinis’ and ‘Jus Soli’ should be applied here without basking on what the European countries (which were in the old times only “provinces”) and the US country have been living on their respective doctrine? Isn’t time we make our own application what citizenship doctrine should be applied here, whether one or the other or a mixture of both? Sticking to one is a rigid form of choice. It deprives others who are as much entitled to what others get. Such our rule on citizenship be flexible or inflexible dpending on certain specific circumstances of each individual? No straight-jacket rule as it causes injustice and misery to so many hundreds if not thousands of people here in this country.
The ‘intent’ of one citizenship doctrine whether ‘Jus Sanguinis’ or ‘Jus Soli’ is always good. But does such ‘intent’ coincide with the ‘spirit’ of justice? Does it not also causes misery? So, thinking what really should be our own rule on it here is important.
When a Natural-born Filipino citizen is in the public service but who is corrupt and notoriously corrupt with others of similar status, what is the remedy or what is the solution for having a Natural-born citizenship at birth for that? There is none.
A ‘foundling’ or stateless person still at a very early age who has no sign of corruption as ‘it’ cannot yet exercise responsible acts, is already deprived of a Natural-born citizenhip. Or is ostracized at birth. He/She is not only ‘required’ to prove with difficulty a ‘status’ but is demanded that the proof must be ‘substantial’ (the Court says) but it’s almost proof beyond a reasonable doubt. A very difficult task and rigorous at that. Not only ‘a shame’ is cast at birth but that shame lives throughout his/her life until proven otherwise.
Now, let us go to a ‘foundling’ who is potentially running for a high position in government. The case of Grace Poe who is a Senator. She is facing a difficult situation. Though she appears that she says she can prove she is a Natural-born citizen, the truth of it is she is faced with a dilemma whether is is qualified or not for the post. Many, as Parekoy@ says, but without mentioning her name or she may not be the one alluded to, –
” Ang dapat nating piliin ay yung gusto nating humawak sa pwesto at sa tingin natin ay matino at magampanan ng maayos ang sinumpaang servisyo publiko.’
Grace Poe, a Senator, has that dilemma lingering on, if the people wants her as their choice. It problem is a stumbling block. The shame is there. Many things outside of her are made, true or not. But it is there. Is it fair? Is it worth it? You can judge on it.
I got to read what qualifications or disqualifications for a gov’t elective post at the Phil.news Editorial today. Let us share it though many might have read it but it is worth knowing it further for disussion. –
‘Grace Poe for Philippine President? Not So Fast’ The title given. it gives out these notes:
Filipinos it seems have a penchant for electing young “celebrities with zero experience into positions of power bahala na ang Dios‘
Part of Sen. Poe’s dilemma indeed!
‘Look at all the entertainers-turned-politicians who are now mayors, governors, senators and congressmen. ‘None of them has truly stood out to the amazement and wonder of cynics like us.’ Can we be blame if some or many are cynics? Unfair indeed.
‘Most manage to simply muddle through…at best. Why, because they are simply not cut-out for the job. Their skills are in acting, or comedy, or modeling, or homemaking. This is true. Many or some of them just muddle through or just bring in MUD. Some continue to make us LAUGH. Acting or not, we do not know if a comedian or whatever.
Leaders, acc to Phil.news Editorial must be for STATEMANSHIP or leadership. Or COMMUNITY building. And other beneficial SKILLS. We do not have these skills in them for now.
The Editorial also says – ‘For the most part, Filipino politicians are on-the-job-training (OJT) politicians. OJT politicians. Not totally true because many did not undergo even OJT at all.
Our country’s problems are serious. Problems that besets us.These problems are national in character and concept. Not local problems. To tax even the most seasoned leaders. According to the Editorial.
The Editorial says ‘poor leadership’ has repercussions though not immediately apparent.’ But it will appear sooner than later. Please read the continuing example given at the Editorial.
Repercussions. Like it is very costly acc to Editorial. Other things are written which I do not agree fully. Every new leader, whether tested or not for leadership, can commit repercussions, very costly or not. But one thing I can say if a leader is corrupt at birth of his/her government service or later, it would have been better that that leader have never been ‘born’ to enter government service. Like Judas Escariot as commented by his Boss.
So, Parekoy@ as you said – ‘Pwedeng madismaya ulit tayo pero bakit di natin ipaglaban ang ating kandidato di dahil sya ang pinaka popular sa masa kundi dahil sa ating sariling pang-unawa at pagtimbang na kung ikaw lang ang pipipili at wala ng iba sino ang pipiliin mo na magserbisyo para sa ikabubuti ng buhay mo o ng mga anak at apo mo?
Piliin natin. Piliin mo. Timbangin mo at natin. Walang iba kung di ikaw at tayo ang pipili.
For the good of the country. For our lives. For generations to come, children and grandchildren of ours and yours.
Salamat Parekoy@ Our country now should have a Natural birth for justice, for progress atbpa.

Salamat din for expounding!
Magaling ang editorial na yun ng talakayin ang mga OJT politicians. Natalakay ang mga artista na ang skills ay sa pag-arte at di para maging lider ng mga mamayan dahil kulang o halos walang kaalaman.
Nabanggit di ang error ni Aquino na naging mitsa kungnbakit ngayon angbChina ay walang habas na mag-reclaim ng mgaislets at reefs at mahirap ng mapalayas sa pag-angkin ng ating mga lupain at mga resources.
Sana para mas balanse eh tinalakay din ang mga Political Dynasty na isang halimbawa na kahit na naging pagkadalubhasa sila sa pagkontrol ng pulitika sa kani-kanilang nasasakupan eh di pa rin umaangat ang mga buhay ng kanilang mga kostituents. Dapat tinalakay ang maling focus pagkadalubhasa sa pagkukurakot at initsapwera nila ang kapakanan ng kanilang mga mamamayan kundi pangsarili at para lang sa kanilang dinstiya.
Di rin natalakay kung bakit ang masa ay nagsapaalaran sa mga artista namaging liders. Di kaya ang masa ay dismayado at nadala na sa mga pulitikong mga may mataas na pinag-aralan at malawak. Ang experience sa pulitika ngunit wala silang nadamang progreso sa kanilang mga buhay at lalo pa silang naghirap?
Mahirap ang maging mahirap. Ang kanilang prayoridad ay kung may makakain ba sila ng tatlong beses sa isang araw at kung saan nila hahagilapin ang perang pambili ng pagkain. Wala silang oras tulad natin na may luxury na mag-suri kung sino talaga ang nararapat na mailukluk sa pwesto. Pundi na rin sila dahil nasubukan na natin yung mga brilliant na tulad ni Marcis at anong napala natin, brilliant din magnakaw. Nasubukan na ang isang tinuturing na Santa Cory pero di pa rin nagbago ang kurakutan dahil kungnjoon ay si Marcos lang ang ganid na magnanakaw at ilan nyang alipoers eh after Edsa eh sangkaterba ang mga hayok sa pagnanakaw sa pera ng bayan. Nadismaya tayo kay Tabako, kay Asiong at lalo na kay Gloria na promising dahil nandon na amg pedigree, edukasyon, at leadership, pero failure din!
Mahirap ang pumili kung may bankruptcy tayo sa larangan ng tamang leadership!
Salamat ulit!

Sino ang dapat ibotong Presidente?
Palaisipan ito sa bawat isa sa atin dahil may kanya-kanyang manok.
Mga bobotante na usually ang karamihan ay mahirap. Ang pasaring ng marami na dapat daw hwag ng bigyan ng previlihiyong at karapatan bumoto ang mga di nagbabayad ng buwis (Tax).
Pero gusto kong iwasto ang maling akala na yan.
Pag ang isang Pilipinong voter ay bumili ng pagkain o kahit na anong bagay a may VAT or EVAT, considered na nagbabayad na sya ng buwis. Mahirap o mayaman eh nagbabayad ng buwis, pero not necessarily income tax.
Kung ang binabanggit mo ay income tax, eh ang daming di nagbabayad noon dahil nga sa parte rin ng kasalan ng gobyerno natin na masyadong kurap na ang inaatupag at trinatrabaho ay ang pansariling kapakanan at pagkukurakot at kug ano-anong pagkakakitaan sa PDAF or DAP o mga proyekto sa kanilang nasasakupan. Di nila priority ang mag craft ng laws o gumawa ng mga policies na mag-pro-promote na magcreate ng trabaho o kabuhayan para sa lumulobong populasyon ng unemployed. Gusto man ng mahirap ng magbayad ng income tax eh pano kung wala syang trabaho di wala yang income eh pano makakabayad ng buwis?
Discrimination yan sa mga mahihirap nating mamamayan. Although ang kanilang numero ay mayorya at ang kanilang boto ang naglulukluk ng mga bugok na ugok na mga tulad ni Binay at Erap at ibat-ibang political dynasties eh we deserved what we are getting dahil ayun yun sa ating konstitusyun.

Okay, bago tayo pumili ng ating bagong Presidente sa 2016 eh nararapat na lumingon tayo simula ng maitsa si Marcos sa Hawaii. Pag-aralan natin kung ang ating mga napili na nagsasabing pag-asa eh talagang nagdeliver at di tayo na-disappoint sa kanila.
(Pag sinabi kung bugok at ugok eh di lang sa tulad nila Binay at Erap)
Cory – Qualification: Asawa ni Ninoy. Housewife. Dating taga-timpla ng kape pag may pulong sila Ninoy sa bahay nila. Tanungin nyo si Joker. Walang bahid ng kurapsyon sa pulitika. Economy- walang alam. Governance – household lang.
Malinis pero dahil walang eksperiensya eh bugok at di na gamit ang oportunidad na baguhin para sa tunay na reporma ang kanyang rebolusyonaryong gobyerno. Balik ang mga Oligarchs at ang Political Dynasties eh mas lalong dumami kumpara ng mga dynasties noong panahon ng Martial Law. Yung utang natin sa IMF at Worldbank eh di na-re-istructure at di lang tayo nakatawad at isang napalaking pabigat para umusad ang ating bansa sa larangan ng ekomiya dahil ang laking parte ng ating budget ang nakalaan sa pagbayad ng ating mga utang. Paalala lang: Ang IMF at World Bank ay alam na binubulsa lang ang karamihan ng perang inutang ng Pilipinas ng mga Marcoses at sa tingin ko dapat noong na-itsa natin sila Marcos eh dapat di na natin binayaran or di kaya 10cents on the dollar lang ang bayaran natin sa mga utang na hiniram during Marcos time (Martial Law Years). Kung ang Greece eh nabigbigyan ng G7, IMF, at World Bank ng mahigit $200 Bilyon na tulong at given na hindi mababayaran eh ipot lang ang utang natin kumpara dyan (My exact facts might be a bit put but the relevance is pointed out), eh bakit tayo? Kaya di natin masisi ang ibang mga kumunista sa pagbatikos sa ating mga administrasyon an maka Amerkano kahit inaapi na. Cory did a dismal job sa renegotiation sa atin mga bad debts, and for that mas bugok sya. Disappointment!
Ramos – Qualification : Dating Berdugo ni Marcos! Bale fence sitter at pumanig sa tao kuno para maisalba ang sarili at may pagkakataon pa ng maging miyembro ng Junta with Enrile na may sanction ng Amerika dahil pang-tapat sa Junta ni Cory na maraming komunista at mga left leaning at mga nationalists sa inner circle ni Cory. Economy- walang alam. Torture- may doctorate. Governance –Military at dictatorial- Pwedeng positive kung mag-execute ng magandang plano at di sa haka-haka lang, negative pag ang planong mabantot eh madaling ma-realized and failure. Kurapsyon – kwestyonable kasi di natin alam ang kinita nya sa panahon ni Marcos. Name Recall dahil sa Edsa.
Nag hallucinate sa Philippine 2000 na New Industrial Country na daw tayo sa year 2000. Nangopya sa Malaysia na may Wawasan 2020 (Vision 2020) na mas realistic ang goal. Si Ramos ay nag ride lang sa hot money noong panahon nya at kumita ng malaki sa mga generators at mga powerplants at pati pa sa Centennial. Si Ramos pa ang nagpabalik sa mga Marcos! Bugok na Ugok pa dahil nagbabalatkayo na marunong sa ekonomiya eh sa personal na ekonomiya lang pala at instrumento pa kung bakit andito na naman ang mga garapal na mga Marcos na di lang nag-apologizes sa Martial Law at proud pa! Isa pa, lumakas lalo ang influenc ng Militar sa gobyerno at isa yun sa pagka bugok nya dahil isa yan sa mga rason kumbakit natin pinalayas ang mga Marcos dahil sa abuso Militar. Ang Militar ay di dapat politicized pero hanggang ngayon ay politicized pa rin! Disappointment due to early senility!

Erap – Qualifications: Dating Artista –name reacall. xecutive experience dahil sa mahabang pesto as Mayor ng SanJuan. Anging VP din ni Ramos. Actor – Positive dahil madaling mapapaniwala ang masa kung talagang maganda ang plano ng kanyang administrasyon. Negativo pag bulok ang plano. Kurapsyon – most likely dahil sa tinagal nya sa SanJuan eh di natin makalkal ang mga records ng kanyang administrasyon dahil ang pumalit din ay ang pamilya nya. Parang si Binay ng Makati, kontrolado.
Masa vote talaga ang nagpapwesto kay Erap. Sa lahat ng Presidente ang tunay na makamasa ay si Erap. As Robin Hood eh sa bawat kulimbat nya sa pera natin sa gobyerno eh meron ding syang pakunwelo de-bobo(tante) at merong nakakarating sa mga mahihirap. Ang kaso, si Erap ay considered na outsider sa larangan ng Makati Mafia na ang paggawa ng pera eh through corporations, mga malakihang contrata,mga lopsided regulations na nagpapabor sa mga Oligarchs, at ang usual na kalakaran ng nakawan ng mga nakapag-aral at kinokonsiderang ma white collar bandits! Si Erap ay iba, kasi ang ginagalawan ni Erap ay iba kahit na sa kanyang SanJuan Mafia na ang business eh yung mga kinokunsiderang marumi pagkakaperahan tulad ng, jueteng, illegal drugs, carnapping, pambrabraso, at garapalang pangkokotong sa mga businessmen, meaning sa larangan ng mga Kriminal, eh mas mababa ang tingin sa kanya ng mga white collar criminals dahil si Erap ay Blue Collar Criminal! Di maatim ng mga kapwa kriminal ng Makati Business Club na isang sanggano lang ang magkokorner ng kanilang golden goose, dapat maibalik ang kontrol sa kanila. Solusyon- Ilukluk si Gloria! Jueteng is not plunder kasi di pera ng gobyerno yun kundi pribado pero pinilit ng mga conspirators na ibagsak si Erap through Chavit na isang dating kasamahan sa SanJuan Mafia kasi nasipa ni Atong Ang. With Davide and Senators conspirators at ng medya, eh yari si Erap. Pag binanatan ka ng mga White Collar Criminals, malinis at may pagka-legit dahil may back-up sa ibat-ibang faction at antas ng lipunan kasi pati media ay kanila so ang perception ay effective na naikakalat. Bugok na Ugok at predictes naman ng ating mga botante pero alam nila ang kanilang binili at di sila niloko ng harapan. Disappointed ang masa dahil naputol yung pangmumud nila. Rejoicing naman ang Makati Mafia.
Gloria – Qualifications: Anak ng dating presidente, name recall. Educated sa economy. Naging profesora. VP ni Erap. Walang bahid ng kurapsyon ng pumasok sa politika. First President ng Pilipinas na may fake boobs!
Dahil sa name recall eh easy yung panalo as VP. Pero kwidaw ka, di na makapag-antay ng pagbaba ni Erap at atat-na-atat ng agawin ang trono. Conspired with the Makati Mafia and powerful political dynasties tulad nila Cory Aquino. Power –grabbed at nag-imbento pa ang mga conspirators sa SC na gawing constructive resignation daw yung pagtanggal kay Erap. May asawang masiba at di lang sa pagkain kundi pati sa pera ng bayan. Nag run as President at delikado kay FPJ, kaya kailangan ang black-ops at naptunayan yan ng famous Hello Garci Scandal. Documented na nanday, nag-sorry pa! Hanefs sa kurakot, pati mga anak tulad ni Mikey eh tumira ng bilyones at his own right, at kung yung kanang kamay ni Mikey eh nagsubi ng bilyon, eh si Dambuhalang Big Mike
LozadaArroyo pa kaya? Di nagpahuli si Joker, kasi kahit noong panahon ni Marcos eh galit sya sa mga magnanakaw, iba na sa termino ni Gloria, Arroyo’s name na ang nakataya! Si Joker eh naging butt of jokes na lang at nasilaw sa pera. Back to Gloria, may konti namang improvement sa ekonomiya pero sa panahon na ni Aquino dahil yung ibang plano nya ay may pagka-long term at nagamit din yung pagiging economist nya. Bugok at ugok din! Still mga magnanakaw sila, white collar nga lang. Another disappointment kasi full of promises.Noynoy Aquino -Qualifications: Anak ni Ninoy at ni Cory. Name Recall. Pagkamatay ni Cory eh opportunity na naging Presidente through Sympathy Votes. As estudyante- average at di promising as a leader. Mental state- abnormal at times and could be positive or negative depende sa higpit ng turnilyo. Long service in government. As Senator – tamad. Di ambisyoso sa pulitika. Straight Shooter- basta may yosi at nagpaputok ng baril in daytime eh okay na, putok ng kanyang ‘barrel’ during night time at ang target ay mga boldstars eh okay na (Bakit daw di mabuntis ni PNoy ang mga naka-sex nya kahit walang condom? Sagot- PNoy was shooting blanks!). Walang bahid ng kurapsyon. Disappointment?
Di ko muna tatalakayin ang legacy ni PNoy dhail di pa tapos.
**
So sa ating mga naging Presidente eh may batayan na tayo na pare-pareho sila disappointments. Magpa-White Collar man or Magpa- Blue Collar Criminals man. Either Makati Mafia or SanJuan Mafia ang humahwak sa pagnakaw na ating pera sa gobyerno eh talagang dismayado tayo.
Ang tanong, sino sa ating mga potential Presidential Candidates ang least evil para naman maibsan ng konti ang disappointments natin at realistic ang ating expectations?

Nabu BoWang na ba ang mga nag raildroad ng BBL?-Update
Per my posting:
http://raissarobles.com/2015/05/25/malaysia-reacts-to-my-interview-with-president-aquino/comment-page-2/#comment-304015
Though PDI is delayed in reporting this scandal, they eventually did so for they will party to cover-up by not reporting this especially its effect on BBL.
So, for bashers of other publications, I hope that in the future stick first to facts, evaluate if it has legs then if indeed it has then the fact can stand by itself, unless it is invalid.
Usually, if there is a real opposition there is a check and balance! Romualdezes own Manila Standard and considered anti-administration, therefore they don’t pull their punches when trying to hit the Administration. Philstar is by the Belmonte’s and he is the Binay camp in the NoyBi faction (LP-Samar), thus silent on Binays. PDI, (owned by the Rufino-Prieto clan, with MVP as minority shareholder with a board seat?) is leaning towards the administration but trying to hold on their default title of as the most reliable paper in that is why they are pulling their punches but since the cat is out from the bag, why not report it too so as not too obvious in their leaning towards the administration.
My point is that our established media are run by people and based on our history they are usually partisan. The influence of the media is a fact that is why the Oligarchs did buy controlling shares in these newspapers, radio, and TV corporations so as to have influence in what is being fed to the public. The influence might be dormant in other news items but when it comes to their business interest and political affiliations the Oligarchs can’t resist not to use that for other opposing Oligarchs are doing the same, meaning that is the name of our dirty game of news business and their orgy deviant relationship with business and politics!

BBL is really railRoadrguezed and we need to be wary when a law that has long-lasting and dangerous effects in the stability of country is being shoved into our throat!

THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: PV PAIRING
My Magician friend helped me with this thought. Consider the following “Wild Cards” PV pairing at the PRESENT time:
1. Binay-X
2. Roxas-Robredo
3. Poe-Escudero
4. Duterte-Santos
5. Lacson-Marcos
6. Cayetano-Trillanes
The following two events occurring BY THE END of July 2015 will significantly change the nature of these “cards.” These two events — the game changer — are:
– The endorsement of President Aquino of his and LP’s choice of candidates for President and Vice President;
– The release of the SWS and or Pulse Asia survey results of Pres and Vice Pres candidates ranking.
Based on the synergistic effect of these two events, the Wild Card configurations above changes dramatically. If President Aquino endorses, for example, the Roxas-Poe tandem (this being known to and accepted by Roxas and Poe before the day of the announcement); and Binay’s ranking drops dramatically, we may just have the following revised set of cards:
Binay-X
Roxas-Poe
X1-X2
X3-X4
The number of configurations will be at most 4, with 3 most probable according to my Magician friend. My friend, the magician, says, his crystal ball is presently cloudy to determine X, X1, X2, X3 and X4.

@n herrera ,, ok laht iyan na team up mo…kaya lang may probabilty na POE – ESTRADA ,,,wala kaya?
NHerrera says
At this stage things are rather fluid. If the President, for example, endorses Roxas-Robredo, your Poe-Estrada tandem may happen, but if we have to give weight to Estrada’s statement that he does not want to be a VP candidate but just want to continue as Manila Mayor, then that may not happen. But Estrada’s word cannot be fully trusted.

if Grace will run alongside Estrada then she would look like what she calls as naglalaway sa position Am i right? Senator Grace is probably smarter than that. Anyonw who will run wwith Binay or Estrada is surely a TRAPO.

I find the “signal” or hint provided by Sen President Drilon about P-noy’s Pres/ Vice Pres endorsement part of the Palace strategy:
INTERAKSYON — Drilon: Ascribing to superstition, PNoy won’t announce LP standard-bearer in August
(June 8, 2015 6:49 PM)
Consistent with my post above, it seems the Palace wants to make sure “their ducks are properly lined up” before it makes its move. Recall that it was earlier reported that P-noy will make his announcement in June; then after the SONA in July 27 (which means between July 28 and July 31 or in August); but now Drilon hints that it may not be in August because of pamahiin. Interesting. Parang May-Pac fight, pinatataas ang sales and ticket prices. I find this very interesting.
