By Raïssa Robles
Some people might get the impression that Sen. Serge Osmeña is just shooting his mouth off talking about the various presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
Earlier, he had advised Senator Grace Poe to run for VP. Then he said that Congresswoman Leni Robredo could win hands down over Senator Chiz Escudero in the VP race if she was “packaged properly.”
What Sen. Serge Osmeña has forgotten to explain is his context for saying all these. Some people are actually thinking he is now siding with the administration bets because his son is marrying into the Roxas family.
Sen. Osmeña ‘s context is actually this – in the 2013 senatorial race, he came up with what he thought was a winning electoral combination: a package of three women whom he would brand the “Tres Marias” – Grace Poe, Leni Robredo and Risa Hontiveros. The way commercial advertisers package products.
Problem was, Leni Robredo refused to play ball. She didn’t want to run for the Senate.
And so Osmeña ended up with only two of the women – Poe and Hontiveros – and he added one male candidate – Ramon “Jun” Magsaysay Jr.
Of the three, only Poe won.
I learned this from someone who was talking to one of the parties, whom I can’t identify.
Seen from this context, Senator Poe’s rejection of Senator Serge’s suggestion that she run first for vice-president comes across as ungrateful. Ingratitude, however, is a hallmark of Philippine politics.
I’ve never met Sen. Serge nor ever interviewed him, but his is one voice I listen to when it comes to political strategy. He is a political animal who straddles the old and the new way of political campaigning.
So when he says that “It’s so hard to explain these things but she (Robredo) has the appeal.”
I agree with his assessment.
Mrs. Robredo doesn’t know it yet but she has the power. She still has to wake up to that power, accept it and wield it. But I can sense that she does like politics. Otherwise, she would not have run at all. She would have just become a judge.
I have never met her, only talked to her on the phone for an interview. Her late husband, Jesse Robredo never ever introduced me to her or the rest of the family even when I went all the way to Naga to interview him. But I sensed in my interviews with him that he consulted her on legal matters. That their conversations were wide-ranging.
One thing for sure, both Robredo and Poe are definitely more qualified and capable than Vice-President Noli de Castro, who apparently rose to power on the basis of his newscaster’s voice. Recall how he became the insurance for then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to survive ouster. To read more, pls see Alan’s article – Gloria’s not-so secret weapon.
Compared to former Vice-President Noli de Castro, Robredo and for that matter Senator Grace Poe are more prepared for the vice-presidency. However, it is not yet clear if both are prepared for the presidency itself, should something happen to the president. Which is what the vice-presidency is really all about.
Robredo’s appeal is that she comes across as very sincere. What you see is what you get. She has no political baggage. I like the fact that she gave herself enough time to grieve and make a life without her husband.

So why did Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel lose again in 2013?
I think next time around she should lose that sash – so old-fashioned and corny.
And using Philhealth ads is quite tricky and smacks of e-pal.

I really like University of the Philippines law professor Harry Roque. He was my dad’s law student. He has been a constant news source, always generous with his opinions and his time. But I really do think he would be throwing away whatever budding political career he has under the bus if he runs in Vice-President Binay’s Senate slate.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
I have been asked for a list of candidates for the Senate. Offhand, I would have liked to see Albay Governor Joey Salceda. Moro Islamic Liberation Front spokesman Mohagher Iqbal and Communist Party of the Philippines founder Jose Maria Sison (too bad, he doesn’t have residency). It would be interesting to see what kind of laws they would propose and how they would wield the powers of a senator.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
I would like to see Sen. Vicente “Copy” Sotto retire from the Senate. Here’s why
.
Here are other reasons – Because Sotto inserted internet libel and while projecting himself as an anti-drugs champion, he got a suspected drug lord who had to be repatriated from Hong Kong to finance his book on illegal drugs.
It was also Senator Sotto as chair of the Local Governments Committee in the Commission of Appointments who bypassed Jesse Robredo’s appointment as Department of Interior and Local Governments Secretary THRICE. See my story – Dear CA: Be more honest in explaining why you bypassed Robredo 3 times

Vice-President Binay’s quest for a running mate continues.
To help him, my hubby thoughtfully wrote this article:
In search of Binay’s running mate
by Alan Robles
Deep in the dark heart of the political jungle, skilled professionals are engaged in an important quest: hunting and bagging that elusive creature, a running mate for Vice President Binay.
Let’s talk to one of those agents, Gnoll Tahol, CEO and Droolmaster of the Showbeast Government Headhunting Troll Tribe and Carinderia Services Inc
Hot Manila: How’s the hunting?
Gnoll Tahol: Tough, really tough. Every time we find a possible candidate, we creep up to them, tell them to stay calm because we have a big surprise. Then we tell them we’re considering them as a companion for Vice President Binay to run…
Hot Manila: And?
Tahol: They run, all right. They run away. Very fast. Sometimes they’re screaming. One even yelled “Bahid ng kurakot! Takbo mga kapatid!” Can you imagine? Isn’t it supposed to be an honor to be chosen to be a running mate for the vice president?
Hot Manila: Have you tried other hunting strategies?

As for Senator Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos, Jr., we heard he might announce something next month.
Meanwhile, frantic recruitment is going on for people to join the Marcos Club. Through Facebook. Here are the details:
Join the Marcos Club now!
by Alan Robles
Through Facebook, my number one source of totally accurate info, I discovered a post inviting people to pay PHP 250 to join the “Bongbong Marcos for President Movement.”
In return, the member gets an official ID card and (should Marcos win) a chance to earn up to PHP 1 million from “Marcos wealth.”

To run for public office not on the back of a vision and solid platform but by virtue only of high popularity ratings is not public service but vanity and opportunism.
Will you or Allan write a “what went before” blog relative to the nakakahiya, nakakabwisit, nakadismaya, at nakakasuka situation which the Comelec finds itself in?
I have not been able to closely follow the Smartmatic-computerized election saga but I see the ugly head of impunity in all these.
foregoing was meant to be a response to 5.1 (Raissa).
response to greenpea says: it would be more fair if you would at least support your strong criticism of Grace Poe with some solid and objective basis.
@parekoy
I am sorry if my comment seemed to you like a strong criticism of Sen Poe. But actually my comment is a general statement.
Oops sorry! my response was for @parengtony comment
Just subscribing to email notifications.
yvonne, ”you’ve got mai”
:-)
I like your comment, greenpea, short and concise.
The choice facing Sen, Poe is whether she will join in the people’s fight to be free from plunder politics or to yield to the flattering results of surveys. She herself has said that she may not yet be ready for the Presidency and there is nothing wrong if she will prepare for it with six more years. Her decision will show her true self.
she can decide for herself? you nearly got me there, greenpea. she can decide for herself only if escudero who is always within arm’s length of her – will allow her. notice how she seems to be seeking escudero’s approval each time she say something and then glancing over at escudero? if escudero did as flicker his eyes, or twitch his nose, you can be sure the lady changes her tune.
Well that will be a part of our knowing her real character
I do concur 100% on your assessment of the capability of Cong. Leni Robredo to become the Vice President of our country. Let’s pray that Presidential candidate Mar Roxas announces that she is the candidate of the Liberal Party. This will scuttle the plans of the independent politicians and tacticians.
Aside from her experience as a Congresswoman and a pro-bono lawyer in Camarines Sur, Cong. Leni has the humility and the charisma to shepherd our country to greater heights with a good Presdient in Mar Roxas.
As to your Marcos Club Movememnt, what a scam
!
PNOY have chosen Mar over Grace Poe and he said something like “Bakit tayo mag-aaksaya sa malabo? -doon na tayo sa sigurado.”
But one wonders why LP prefers Grace Poe over Leni Robredo as VP. Kung tutuusin, mas mataas ang qualifications ni Leni sa lahat ng aspeto.
=Si GP inaambisyon pagka-pangulo pero itinatago ang tunay na pagkatao.
=Si LR inaambisyon ang senado at walang itinatago.
Maliban na lang kung meron silang alam na hindi pa natin alam bilang pangkaraniwang mamamayan, nagkakaroon ng lamat ang daang matuwid dahil dito.
pwede rin pala sa malabo basta’t mataas ratings sa survey! Dapat maasikaso at mapasa na ang FOI….
SI ROXAS sigurado kayo? HILO kana BA? TALUNAN NYAN | INEPT si ROXAS by staying SILENT on crirical issues was already a SIN , as you said na MAKA ROXAD against POE with regards to BINAYs pagnanakaw…ngayon si ROXAS ay SIGURADO kayo…he he HILONG HILO KAYO.
ika nga ng Gilas Pilipinas, “Puso!”
that and Poe is more popular than Robredo. di mo na kailangang gumastos ng sandamakmak para i-package at ibenta sa masa. plus, as i’ve said before, those who will vote for Poe if she ran for prez will most likely gravitate towards Roxas if she becomes his VP.
the LP members are just realists. though Pinoy voters are increasing their standards, we’re still a long way from achieving political maturity hence money and popularity still counts.
I will vote for roxas, but will not vote for poe.
VERY TRUE.
Further to 5.1 and 1.1 (w/c should have been posted as a reply to 5.1),
I think Koko Pimentel’s position on the same is along the same direction: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/713343/ex-comelec-chair-must-explain-senator-pimentel

What a racist blog that failph is, is all i can say.
No Raissa, you haven’t read it fully. The goal is not to bash but to state facts (it may hurt a little) and realize that we need to redirect our efforts toward advocating high-yield investments, primarily on education (IQ test for teachers, cleaning up the curriculum, etc) because that is what changes people. Like I said, no matter how we renovate the house, if the occupants are still the same exact kind of individuals, the house will always be a big mess.
I agree, Raissa, actually. I don’t hang around much with foreigners myself because of this attitude of superiority and complaint that, in many respects, is blind. I don’t see that it builds much. Plus, I like it here in the Philippines.
There are also some very fine Americans living and/or working in the Philippines, I would add.
I share your view about government and leaders and find it amusing that the non-DE Americans come up with people like Palin and Trump to rally around. Or actually listen to a blowhard racist like Rush Limbaugh.
Joe,
We have the same views concerning Palin and Trump. What’s your take on Rand Paul? Btw I’m glad you’re doing okay in the Philippines
It is a racist site and I just had to stop reading as I refuse to ruin my day with such non-sense. Like we have unsavory characters in all cultures and all walks of life and all races, so too with EXPATS. It’s mind boggling how one of them expounds on the travails about being with a Filipina and yet stays married to her. Now who is more moronic? Agree with Raissa, not you JoeAM and I wish we have more of you but maybe we do and I just don’t know. Power to the people!
It is time to bring this site down. Who is with me? Raissa, sorry but this is just is not right.
Just you try.
Raissa, I was not referring to your site. I was referring to the racist site. I will not bring out my Rousy Rhonda image to counter your boxer. hahahahaha

@UnixTM:
If you already stopped reading then why bother to post a comment? Your comment is the living testimony of a freedom of expression so stop whining and bring it on!
I stopped reading the racist site and that’s the one I was referring to. I had been reading this blog a few years ago when CPM was being considered as the name for folks that frequent the place.
Unix — It’s not a good idea. See my reply to Ong-Lo below
Gladman, I read your response below. Let me tell you that I am not being onion skinned here. I can take Filipino jokes even but that site – Nah! I grew up in the Philippines and I can see some of these also but I don’t need a racist site to tell me what I already know in an insulting manner and not offer anything. All they do is bash. I am done commenting on that :) As for the DDOS attack, it can be done but I will not waste an ounce of energy any longer.
Not your blog.
To the blog you mentioned on yours, to define the two words you used.
All along I thought I was the only one here in CPM that’s frequenting that racist site, as most filipinos can’t take the severity of bashing.

Some tasty tidbits in that blog topic — Serge Osmena, Poe, Robredo, Salceda, Roque, Sotto, Noli de Castro, the hunt for Binay’s VP mate.
Paki dagdag ko lang my two centavos worth of dunongdunongan-
my fantasy senate slate:
1. Leni Robredo
2. Joey Salceda
3. Cielito Habito
4. Tony Meloto
5. Randy David
6. Jun Magsaysay
Those names can certainly replace the following and improve the Senate:
1. Nancy Binay
2. Gregorio Honasan
3. Lito Lapid
4. Bongbong Marcos
5. Bong Revilla
6. Tito Sotto
Re Serge Osmena: aside from being intelligent, his political instinct and acumen is probably because — like some, who say of a clan that they are descended from a family of generals-soldiers — he is descended from the Osmena family, who breath politics.
Re Grace Poe: I have lately coined the acronym AOG for her — Anxious Ordinary Grace, from the previous Amazing Grace description, a sad quick evolution.
Re Harry Roque: an apt description which when combined with Raissa’s note of him is rather sad — a lawyer in a hurry but with a character like Binay.
in your blog, you may have come up against binay’s henchmen as remulla, tiangco, and maybe gerry limlignan himself. it’s their job to be vague. you have my sympathy, joe.
“It’s their job to be vague.” Yes, exactly, and redefine truths, blaming the good and excusing the bad. Fortunately, as here amongst the CPMers, the Society contributors can see through the smoke.

@NHerrera
Harry Roque is really a political rookie very much in a hurry – hurry rookie.
I guess it will be a battle of wits between Serge and chiz (imho, serge strategizing for mar and cheeze for grace). Binay will be keeping his fingers crossed hoping the split in votes will favor him.
Leni is a good senatoriable but she is torn between running for a higher office or staying as district representative. She’s worried that if she goes up leaving no strong replacement for her the Villafuertes will make a come back in her district.
I wonder myself if Serge is working with Mar. But with Chiz, he may give a show of working or helping AOG (Anxious Ordinary Grace), but we will not know until later if AOG is right in trusting him.
According to chiz “Why is Serge angry at me?”
According to Serge “Leni can easily beat chiz in the vp race.”
I don’t think that Serge is working for Mar. The Liberal Party is not short of political strategists/analysts but Serge will always be an addition.
Risa Hontiveros should get rid with that scarf and repackage herself if she want to win in 2016.
Anyway, the problem with strategists are being politicians themselves like Serge, et.al. How can u trust a politician in not advancing his/her own agenda?

Ah, thanks for the background. I noticed his business links when he personally filed suit over the selection of bidder for the Cebu airport reconstruction. Plus his grilling of Alphaland’s Ongpin during the blue ribbon subcommittee meeting was classic. Also dancing with Drilon about the convention center there, in senate hearing. I’m not sure about the ethics of his dual engagement, laws and profits, but he sparks my attention like no other senator,
poe, a strong proponent of foi bill, is probably having 2nd thoughts. if foi bill is passed, she could well be the 1st victim and would have to give unadulterated info about herself. people are clamoring for info about her, want to know more about her, but the lady herself is makitid with info, masyadong pihikan at bihirang mamigay, keeping documents to herself.
anyhow, court can subpoena those documents and info she did not want us to seen.
Isn’t it ironic that the author of the FOI can’t walk the talk just because it isn’t a law yet?

:-)
Class D voters went to our public schools and probably those who belong to Class E too. So, the govt should at least have done something about educating the children (since 1986) who are now voters.
Unfortunately, our textbooks are old and not correctly updated. We still vote the corrupt politicians and even put Bongbong Marcos in the senate for heaven’s sake. It’s like saying that the 20 years of Marcos rule is okay. If we want to educate our voters then start “em young.
‘old textbooks; not updated.’ A very serious if not critical situation indeed by DEC dept omission.
Yet, the budget for this department is huge compared to others. Tama ka Vhin. We’re the idealists in this. Naka ba-un. Stagnating in education. Not much inspiration. Maybe apathy lurks much so not much improvement.
Education. No wonder many pupils and students do not know much of what happened in this country 20 years ago. And now, as you said it, they are NOW VOTERS. The cycle keeps on.

So many thing’s had been said against GRACE POE , but the number 1 question is, WHY BEFORE till THEN, and until Sept. 14 ,those CPMERs – ROXAS minions are waiting GRACE to say YES as VP of MAMAS BOY , INEPT MAR ROXAS?
Again ROXAS needed JESS ROBLEDOs name for publicity but nobody can explain why the RUSHED burglary of official papers on ROBREDOs CONDO happened…..MULTO ni JESS ang ibibigay kay ROXAS and kakampanya ang kaluluwa nya para wag IBOTO si MAR..
Victinluz . . . you’re in panic button. . .I am not a minion of Mar Roxas. ‘/minyan/’ = ‘flunky, lackey, hanger-on, servant, hireling, vassal, stooge, toady, sycophant. More. ‘
I am the Boss !. He either gets my vote or he doesn’t get it as = his Boss. When Mar Roxas becomes the P, he is surely my public servant.
Caps mo pa – ‘those CPMERS – ROXAS minions’ ! – as ‘loud’ as can be.
HA HA HA gracious !

WE ARE BEING TREATED TO SMOKE AND MIRRORS
Since it is a leisurely Sunday, I will indulge in some wishful thinking. I believe we have here not a failure to communicate but a contrived SMOKE AND MIRRORS so that come September announcement we are meant to be be awed. Evidence — all these media reports doubtless titillated by creative operators: MarPoe, MarVi, MarRo.
By the way the Ghost Month this year is August 14 – September 12. We also have SWS/ PA survey expected to come in September. So Mar-XX will likely come after September 12.
I have to say this, or my funny bone will kill me:
to survive ghost month, wearing red underwear is recommended. those not keen on anything red, can turn their underwear inside out. bit comfortable, butt. the connoisseur though, opt for the classic black, the color that absorbs and neutralizes ill effects. fishes with black scales, black shoes, black lipstick – gross! and the ultra connoisseurs will get themselves night vision goggles to flash out the ghosts.
Hahaha. ?
Lol baliktad naman alam ko.
according to reputable feng shui practitioners, bawal ang bold or metallic colors during ghost month because it attracts ghosts. bawal din ang black.
In his blog, Richard Javad Heydarian, a policy adviser, titled it “Asian Infrastrucure Investment Bank: China’s Trojan Horse?”
(huffingtonpostdotcom)
kawawang chinese trojan horse, nobody is letting it in. still out in the cold stranded and attracting ill will. trojan horse would have to be downgraded, year of the sheep ang taong ito, horse would have to stop prancing, keep its head down and to lie low as the sheep. or horse will attract attention of black feng shui practitioner, its life force sucked.

Corruption or Incompetence?
9.6 billion pesos per year to hire a warehouse??? PCOS machines stored for 6 years, the mind boggles. How many warehouses could have been built for that cost?
Read the above article and be disgusted. Also ask yourself how the present Comelec can organize and run the 2016 elections.
9.6 million per annum not billion. Still redicilously high.
Oh to be a warehouse owner in Laguna.
Manila Times please refurbish your calculators.

The inevitable has happened. It is now a Robredo hunt.
Have the LP decided that Grace Poe is indeed ineligible to run for President or VP?
9.6 million per annum not billion. Still rediculously high.
Oh to be a warehouse owner in Laguna.
Posted in error. Sorry.
Beware of Joel Sy Egco. By most of his articles in Manila Times, he is a Binay lapdog just reading his reports on the Binays. For example, “No smoking gun vs. Binay,” “Vice-Ganda supalpal kay Nancy,” “Binay reelected BSP President unopposed,” etc.
I think the Binay camp is injecting intrigue among Roxas, Poe, Vilma and Leni.
That is a good point Rene. Evaluating the messenger from his previous pieces.
I,m not too familiar with the Manila Times or its hacks. Thanks for the heads up.
I think the math errors in their piece on Comelec says it all. One lives and learns.
I think by this report or tweet, it’s been debunked, to my consternation, of course.

Hmm. Joel Egco. Alamin kung bakit siya natanggal sa Manila Standard.
OOT but worth celebrating…
Australian Jason Day (his mother is Pinay) made history today by becoming the first man to win a major golf (US PGA) championship with a total score of 20 under par!
Jason (Bourne) Day scored the highest (-20) ever recorded in the history of all 4 major golf tournaments – and pocketed $1.8M
He looks every inch a typical Filipino although taller at 5’11
What can we say but “MABUHAY KA JASON”
Jason must have been playing golf since he was Bourne!
:-)
Something to be excited about:

A commenter named UnixTM has just posted –
It is time to bring this site down. Who is with me? Raissa, sorry but this is just is not right.
My reply to him is –
Just you try
Raissa,
Excuse the vernacular. But UnixTM can piss right off.
I wonder whose skin the CPMers are getting under?
If there are any IT whiz kids out there now might be the time for them to speak up. Some mischief may be in the offing.
Isn’t the husband of GP an IT wizard? Just an idle thought.
Unless you work as a programmer/coder for many years (and that’s not even the main factor), you are no IT wizard at all. I don’t think her husband has any practical programming experience at all.
Is there a confusion?
I am not sure UnixTM is referring to raissarobles.com. Read again and it seems the target is different.
Where is the post pls?
Can be found at:
6.1.1.1.2 and
6.1.1.1.3
UnixTM was after senseyard.com.
I don’t support shutting down other sites even they are bordering in bigotry or to some racist in nature.
We should always uphold the freedom of expression.
Sometimes bigotry has tinge of truth embedded in their rants but even if their perceived racism is repulsive, we should still respect their freedom to express themselves.
By the way, we should learn to pick-up from the threads and comprehend the context of UnixTM threat and invitation to shut down the site. “This site” does not mean this site!
:)
Parekoy,
It’s not my site either. We were talking about the failphblog which I linked to on my site
See 6.1.2.1.1….
I think 6.1.1.1.3 as a stand alone statement can be misconstrued. I think the writer was at fault.
If any lesson is to be learned form this it is, say exactly what you mean then proof read it several times.
Parekoy, I think you have scrimped a bit on the proof reading in the past.
All’s well that ends well. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean?
Hi Ancient Mariner, I agree but my reply was in context of an ongoing thread so I would hope that people will follow or pick that up. I can see though how my response can get some folks confused.
He wasn’t referring to Raissa’s blog but the other supposedly racist one.
Palagay ko Raissa, sina Gladman at Unix ay nahihirapan na magsulat sa ingles kaya maraming sinasabi na hindi ko maintindihan at kung minsan ay taliwas sa gusto nilang mensahe. Dapat lang siguro sa wikang Filipino sila sumulat. Ika nga ni Syekspir “puno ng ingay at ngalit subalit walang katuturan.”
Hey Rene-Ipil, you sensed that Gladman and I are having a tough time responding in English eh?Wow… Must be nice to be so smart and intuitive. ;-) Peace brother.
Cha is also right. . . it’s not Raissa’s ‘site.’
I woke up, I am in the east coast, and got all the posts so been non-stop ducking. hahahahaha. I have multiple screens so I was looking at the racist site while posting at Raissa’s. Big mistake. Anyway, I abandoned the idea as it is tantamount to wasting time no matter how insignificant.
Now I know that I have to put my request for the release of my Posting from spam or moderation in the most diplomatic terms or Raissa will bring her Prizefighter after me.
:-)
I will put my money on prizefighter. hindi pinagpawisan and likely to win his fight. he’s on steroid.
That post was intended for the racist site and not raissarobles.com So let’s take a chill pill everyone as I did hehehehehehe. I must admit the site got the better of me and had a knee jerk reaction when I posted. It is not a good idea and I shouldn’t waste time, although it might not take an ample amount to execute. Besides, I would have not given my real email address if I was going to do it on this one :-)
ok.
Guess who must be very happy at this – Richard Gordon.
Richard mwy be celebrating by now hehe
Sorry but no idea about the ties bet poe and Gordon. Nevertheless I am calibrating about the news
hahaha,
poe out, gordon in, as he was the next to the last counted in…
hahaha.
ano kaya ngayon ang ginagawa ni gordo?
Wala iyan he [email protected]…..dismiss iyang kasong iyan or it will be decided favoring POE ….kahit anong gawin ng ROXAS minions ,, HINDI PAPAYAG na VP ni ROXAS si GRACE he he…DONE na si ROXAS ninyo…
We’ll see. Pending sa Supreme Court ang kaso ni Grace Llamanzares sa residency at citizenship at ito lamang ang pwedeng magbigay ng opisyal na desisyon.
Good luck sa senadora basta manaig ang katotohanan at batas ay tayong lahat ang panalo at hindi ang mga pulitiko.
@Vander, I guess you hit the nail right on the head:
Kay Mar Roxas ay “MAS MALINAW ANG DIREKSYON NG BANSA”.
Meron pa naman hanggang October para malaman natin kung sino pa ang mga tatakbo sa pagkapangulo.
the #BinaySONA site – check how he’s faring or falling from the blogs

the fb Mar Roxas site, one can go into it. Touch him. Write a short message. Etc.

Breaking news: bomb blast rocks central Bangkok – at Erawan Shrine frequented by foreign tourists with 5-star hotels. At least 6 bodies in white sheets have been reported along with body parts splattered in the bomb area.
Police suspects more bombs need to be defused (CNN)
ghost month, kasi, ask nherrera. palagay ko ghosts like noise and explosion. gaya ng explosion sa tianjin sa china. marami ang namatay, also marami rin ang mga properties like houses and warehouses ang nagiba, probably beyong repair. hope they’re all insured and can rebuild.
CPMERS…bakit kaya nagmamakaawa pa hanggang ngayon si ROXAS na maging VP nya si GRACE…Palagay ko may alam si GRACE na itinatago ni ROXAS at LP na pag lumabas tapos si ROXAS kahit kay Binay lang ang kalaban ninya…ANO KAYA IYON? Baka sa MAPAPSANO incident ay kasama si ROXAS? Ha ha lagot kayo mga taga ROXAS.
Grace knows that she was engineered to enter Philippine politics probably by Escudero/NOYBI faction. Now that P-NOY and BINAY split on separate ways, we have these different issues coming out because their initial plan is driven to another direction by Escudero.
Roxas may have been sideline here, though P-NOY maybe involved. Roxas only demonstrated the qualities of a good follower under a higher authority being in-charge. We have this popular saying:
“In order to become an effective leader, one must start as good follower”.-Jesus Christ
Grace dont have that – she wanted to be on top straight away.
Correction above*
“It seems Grace dont have that -she wanted to be on top straight away”.
Jesus wasn’t a good follower either. He was a rebel.
Oh, and what is that important saying re: men in uniform?
Nobody gets left behind.
Then again, they were fed to the wolves so its not exactly leaving them behind. They were just left to fend for themselves. Needless sacrifice.
If POE will run as VP of ROXAS ( it will never happen because ROXAS minions like here on this BLOG are the one hitting GRACE ) , POE will WIN by landslide and BINAY also will win the presidency…..
Roxas an EXCESS ENGINE ( lossing to Binay ) and POE( worthy PASSENGER ) winning to anybody else for VP..
So only POE can beat Binay…..To Grace POE– stay closer to the masang Filipino and stay away from MAR and BINAY—–TATALUNIN MO SILA MILYA MILYA next election.
Sooner or later, Grace will be an afterthought in Philippine politics. It is just a matter of time she will be exposed who she really is – an overly ambitious political novice who relies heavily on the political skullduggery and machination of an equally ambitious colleague named Chiz.
wag na. kapag lumabas ang totoo about Mamasapano tipong KA-BLAM ang labas nyan.
tingin mo bakit walang sinasabi si Napeńas samantalang sya ang nasa alanganin?
Sana lumabas anuman yon. We’re all for truth at diyan ay nagkakasundu-sundo naman tayo at tamaan na ang tamaan basta para sa katotohanan.

Issues against MAR-POE-BIN:
Mar – the man with a golden spoon
Poe – an American in the Philippines
Bin – from rags to riches
Unfortunately, some truths hurt. Some will put salt on open wound. And had this happened in Indonesia, some will probably end up on firing squad for treason. Then there’s tarnished reputations and political deaths (though I wouldn’t be surprised if some gets pissed enough to exact revenge).
From PDI today: Poe to Roxas – LP behind Rizalito David?
rene-ipil, it must really be in the blood. makoy also falsified his medal of valors. baby girl can do whatever she likes then, makoy was alive and can punish anyone that make baby girl’s life hard. now that makoy is dead, baby girl lost her knight in white satin, left with the lies she has told before and cannot undo them.
moonie, she could as well be, Bongbong Marcos has also issues about his Diplomas or Educational Credentials from England. His sister Imee, i heard didn’t finish her Bachelor of Law degree at UP. Quite a pattern i would say.
Rene,
Thanks for legally expanding on the cause of Grace Poe’s “loss of equanimity, feeling of anxiety, acquisition of a persecution complex and hallucination of a demolition job.”
@Rene-Ipil, are we discussing here theoritically or is this something that really happened?
magaling @Rene.
binigyan mo ng importansiya ang Birth certificate (BC).
mainam kung mayruong kopya si ginang RR at maipakita sa CPM kung ano ang nilalaman ng BC ni GP.
from there, many things will unravel from that primary document., in hard, written, official gov’t document.
The most obvious question is, “are your statements re her passport applications based on facts that you have verified?”.
If the answet is, Yes, then Grace is a goner.
