PINOY POLITICS

Gonzales is a tactful person with a devil may care attitude even before. The way he speaks his thoughts makes you think if he's a DOJ secretary or a man in the street who is out to make a comment in every thing. (Ika nga nila makapagsalita lang.)

With Singson, there is a possibility that he'll win; if he gets the bloc vote of the InC. I wonder how the Estrada dynasty in the Senate will feel if that happens. Haha.

sabi ng brother ko, may pinalabas raw na anti-opposition jingle sa untv. their song goes:
"gago, gago,ang opposisyon. lider nagnakaw, kaya naka-kulong (mag-sorry ka naman!)"
have any of you seen it?

Gonzales offered P10k to any baranggay capt. that will assure a 12-0 win for Team unity in the elections. He is now being investigated for vote buying. His defense, he's not a candidate who's running for any position and "pera ko yun e. marami akong pera".
That was after he carelessly commented on the death of the peace core Ms. Campbell who was killed in Benguet, saying she was careless to trek on her own. True, he had a point with that. If she wasn't alone, she may have been spared. But to say that while people are grieving for their loss is really tactless and inconsiderate.
Eto namang si Eta Rosales sakay sa issue: "kung ako yung naglalakad mag-isa dun, di naman ako aanuhin ng mga tao dun dahil kakulay ko ang mga tao dun. e si campbell maganda at maputi."

Raul Gonzales is a jerk. He makes me proud to be a UP student.
In saying that, is Etta Rosales implying that she's dark and ugly? I can live with that.

I only saw that portion in the news. I think there was more. didn't see the full ad.

Oh well, they (the oppsoition) did start the jingle fight.. Hmm.. Sino kaya ang mag aadmit sa nagbayad nang jingle na yan?

bakit ganun naman ang implication? hindi naman "dark and ugly" ang mga tao sa benguet ah!

twistedkai · Carpooler

She implied that the reason Campbell was raped/killed was because she was pretty and she was white; which is technically the counterpart of ugly and dark.. In saying that she just implied that the people of Benguet are dark and ugly which isn't true.

sanggre_felicia · Chomplet-in-Training

was that what she really meant to imply or is that just how we interpret what she said?

twistedkai · Carpooler

It depends how would you interpret what she said?

sanggre_felicia · Chomplet-in-Training

wouldn't it be unfair of us to interpret what she said in a way that she didn't mean? it would be like putting words in the horse's mouth (excuse the idiomatic expression).

SUSMARIA! Read the entire quote carefully!

"kung ako yung naglalakad mag-isa dun, di naman ako aanuhin ng mga tao dun dahil kakulay ko ang mga tao dun. e si campbell maganda at maputi."

I meant to allude that she was dark and ugly, not the entire population of Benguet Province! MY GOD! Will you please be more careful with how you read?!? Mapapahamak ka dyan!

was able to watch some parts of the "Isang Tanong" show last night of GMA. wasn't able to see it from the start and wasn't able to finish it co it was quite late.
I hope to run it again. i doubt.

i only got to see cayetano, noynoy Aquino, niki coseteng, and a few candidates i didn't even know were running for the senatorial seat answer questions.

sayang talaga di ko na-umisahan at natapos. it would've been insightful.

Fraggle Rock · Hiro Nakamura's boyfriend

it was eye-popping... err.

was able to watch the whole show.

sadly though, only 13 candidates were able to show their wares.

i think i might vote for bautista.

and that cantal, my god. a nuisance candidate...

and even the "real" politicians were not really ready with the debate.

LP · the missing slayer

wat if,,ang votation ay thru texting nalang...hahahahahaha..for senator pichay,,just key in ur senator of choice<space>ur voter's id and send it to 2366..hahahahha

paano yung mga walang cellphone? di ba one cellphone number to a vote usually? so di siya feasible.

nga pala, balita ko...bawal na daw ung anti-administration na websites....pinapasara daw...tsk....bawal mag-express ng saloobin?!

kuya_jot · mr. guitaristic

bawal? martial law?
okei lang for those anti-administration sites, wlang pang batas para sa mga onlyn crimes.. but I strongly disagree na crime un.. sobra na ung pagcontrol ng administration sa bansa..

Like i said in a previous post...there is a very thin line between SEDITION (directly or encouraging action to take the current leader to step down) and FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

There are some people who abuse this thin line saying what they want, then if they are arrested they'd say that their right to freedom of speech is taken away.

So when are we to say that it is Sedition? I think the GO's slogan "isang boto laban sa nakaupo" might already be sedition. They are encouraging, if not directly telling people to take the president out of her seat.

About the anti-administration sites...what do they contain? Do they deliberately say that GMA should leave her seat or that the current administration is just crappy? If it's the second, then i guess they are just expressing their thought and should not be closed.

I watched the "Isang Tanong" show of GMA 7 last night.
I didn't know until last night that Victor Wood, the singer, was running for senator.
I stopped watching after Oreta, coz it was already late. Other candidates i heard were Lacson, Gomez, montano, Kiko P., 2 from KBL party, Pichay, Legarda, one from Kapatiran.

they all gave good or so-so answers. they had good points.
Ping though is pro-death penalty. whether i knew that or not, i never had plans of voting for him.

Oreta was asked who was the better president: GMA or Erap. She didn't say names. she just said that they had their own way of leadership/way of working.

kuya_jot · mr. guitaristic

and man.. victor wood can barely answer the questions.. he even admited na hindi niya alam kung anu ung parliament.. and those KBL senatoriables, they're kinda wierd..
