Usec Bernardo links many senators to flood control scandals; we will lose a quorum at the Senate?

It is more fun criticizing

Various names were mentioned by Usec Bernardo in his testimony at the Blue Ribbon committee and there were several:   Binay,,   (Angara, Revilla) Villanueva.  Earlier, Estrada, Escuderos name was dragged into the mess.   Will there be more.  Will a quorum be lost at the Senate?   Will they be recalled?  or can they be ousted?

Even Sen Marcoleta is even suspected of having a COI, his wife being an independent director of Stronghold insurance,  a vendor of performance bond of the Discayas.  

Pnoy calls for Roxas Poe coalition to beat Duterte

Pres Aquino calls for Poe Roxas coalition

Pres Aquino asks for Rozas Poe coalition in order to defeat Duterte whom he say is a threat to democracy.  Duterte with his recent pronouncement is likely to bring back dictatorship (note he will close Congress if an impeachment would be filed vs him, cutting ties with US and Australia.).  This will negate the gains made by his mother and his reign.  If Poe and Roxas would join force (how this is to be doie - somebody would quit the race) the 40% of Poe and Roxas can beat Duterte.

Binay's camp called for free and honest election rather than calling for coalition (It was alleged that the ballots were highlighted with the administration candidates.)    Some quarter fear massive cheating to happen.

Why is the President so concerned about Duterte's win?  Dont we have enough controls vs dictatorship.?

Are his plans workable? It is too late I guess.  Even with Trillanes making an expose on alleged hidden wealth of Duterte, the hold of Duterte on his lead still remains.

Is NO EL (No Elections) a possible scenario?

The election campaign is now being heated up and a lot of developments are churning up:

1. Grace Poes DQ case at Comelec has been overturned by Supreme Court
           This makes Grace Poe a very strong contender for presidency.  However, she will be hounded by issues, again. see number 2.

2.  There are publications that tell us that she sold a house in USA that is an enclave to the rich

               
                   Washington Post - Grace Poe lived in one of most Luxurious Homes In Fairfax County

                    From Rappler - what we know of Grace Poes US Property

             

Will Senator Grace Poe be finally disqualified? What happens to the support thrown behind her?

Will the top court support Sen Grace Poe;s bid for presidency

From Philstar - SC to vote separately on residency and citizenship issues

This post happened to discuss after business matters were taken up, about the Presidential election.  This post hastened to say that Binay could be the next president (which favors him because he supports the said candidate, and they have good relationship as a businessman in Makati) and that Bongbong who has remarkably improved his leadership, speech, behavior, knowledge would be most likely to be the next vice president.  (He was in our town this afternoon and many admired the young Marcos for his speech and presentation of platform of govt.)

Our conversation diverted to Sen Grace Poe's disqualification case, and he happened to attend the oral arguments at the SC, the first time he ever was in the August Hall.  He remembered  clearly two things:

1. That in the oath of allegiance taken by the good Senator, (which is prescribed by law to re attain the Filipino citizenship under the dual citizenship law) the good Senator mentioned that she was ...born to. (.......?) where as a matter of fact, her current story is that she is a foundling!!!.  There is perjury or outright lie being committed here and totally unacceptable for someone who is going to be a president.  We hear of story as to who her real parents are and where she was really born

2.   That the defense of ....she did not know, can not be held as an excuse, Ignorance of the law excuses no one especially for some one whose main duty is to defend and preserve the law of the land as the chief executive.

He wonders why this is not mentioned in the press, when there was huge contingent of the press at the said hearing..Maybe that was meant not to disgrace Grace.  He noted that the justices have manok.  The one who questioned the oath of allegiance was against the Senator.  Some justices have GP as their Manok.

On this basis, the good Senator can be disqualified.  "Sorry was a very strong case against GMA" in the Hello Garci election scandal.

In the words of many, there is a great novela unfolding here, like the return of the Marcoses at the Palace. So many intrigues, eg that administration is really supporting GP instead of MR in view of the last place of the good Secretary in the surveys. What happens if the the DNA test of FM and GP turns out to be positive.  Ang saya ng Pilipinas....!!  Maybe the justices will decide that it is not fun anymore.

So what happens to the strong wave of support for her.  If she is DQd finally what happens to votes in her favor.  If she does not speak, the vote goes to Mar. If she endorses these  to Binay (which she wont because she signed a recommendation to file case vs Binay after the Senate hearing) then Binay would win.

4 Major Contenders for Presidency - from Fox News

Let us try to anyalyze them using the triad of leadership and more:

                           Purpose                      Character                        Competence

Mar Roxas         ? (gaya2)                       /                                     ?  MRT Yolanda

Myriam             ?                                    /                                     ?  (health issue, admin experience)

Binay                 ?                                   ?                                     /

Grace Poe          ?                                   /                                     ?

Duterte               /                                   ?  Nagmumura                /

Si Mar, in question ang competence niya kasi maraming mga question sa pinanggalingan niya ng departatmento.  Halimbawa sa MRT and the handling of the Yolanda relief and rehab.

Si Myriam, she seemed to lack the purpose/the passion to run to lead the passion.  She seemed to have lost the fire in herself, may be as a result of the disease.  And the idea that she was entertaining the idea of backing out.  She was a legislator and a judge, and would seem to lack admininistrative  skills needed to run this country.  As for her character,?....

Antonio Tiu denies involvement with the Binay - they are no #dummies

It is more fun criticizing



Antonio Tiu chair of ANI and Greenenergy denies involvement with the Binayor that his company is a dummy of the Binay  ANI the agri company which is the money maker for Tiu, and Greenenergy were the biggest loser at Phil Stock exchange, and their share holders went on a SELL mode.

Greenenergy acquired 60% of Sunchamp which owns the alleged Rosario property.

However the contravening facts are:

Mabuhay Holdings, the precursor of ANI, the trading company for the post harvest facilities, was alleged to be involved, as per COA Auditor Mendoza, was one of the alleged supplier  over priced OS MAK equipment.

The corporate Sec of Green Energy was allegedly a partner of the Binay law office.

VP Binay says that the alleged expose was a dud.

However it is time that camp of VP Binay refute all the facts and the allegations vs his office after the facts were presented in the Senate hearing. This was strongly suggested by Senator Santiago

Rambo to another Rambo

Is it not really a demolition job by Sen Trillanes?  Or is it war.?  On top of the alleged P2 billion  over pricing of govt building construction, Sen Trillanes urges businessmen to speak up regarding the long standing rumors that the City Hall officials grant permits in exchange for condo units (I have heard even a floor for multi stores for condo units)  Of course this is not unique to Makati - go anywhere QC, Mandaluyong, Pasig etc.  it is the same.  It is not tuwid na daan for everyone.

From GMA news;  the vote was 53-1-1

Right after the celebration of National Heroes day, we seem to be having National Villains day.  No less than the Office of the President Pnoy and Vice President Jejomar Binay seem to be under heavy fire and  and are in hot waters.  

The committee on justice in the House voted that there is substance in form and content in the impeachment complaint filed vs Pres Pnoy at the House despite vigorous objections from LP allies in the house

From GMA network news - house committee finds  3 impeachment complaint sufficient in form. The committee is headed by Cong Neil Tupas, an LP ally of the president

Social and political criticisms

"That government should be government of laws rather than of men" Thus runs one of the Jaycee creed.

However despite the constitutional provision on the contrary, a number of public officials have declared that there is nothing wrong with political dynasty:    the Cayetanos, the Angaras, etc. to name a few.  How about the Ynares of Rizal, the Tans of Samar, the Revillas of Cavite, the Ejercitos of Laguna, Dy of Isabela, the Binays.

Are we taking our laws, our constitution seriously.  Or poliloko tayo?

So no more candidates guys.

ONLY KANDI -DATI.
