CORY AQUINO : The Mother of OUR Democracy

Corazon Cojuangco Aquino, the greatest mother for all Filipinos, a strong advocate of Peace and Democracy, an Icon for women empowerment.

She was the Philippine Republic's 11th President. The David that killed the dictatorship of Marcos in 1986. The widow of the late Senator and hero Senatro Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr.

She was now dead die to cardio-pulmonary arrest after complications of her colon cancer. She was 76 years old.

Now the remains of the beloved former President is being seen at the various locations for public viewing. From La Salle Greenhills Gymnasium to the Manila Catheral where large numbers of Filipino people gather and reminiscing the moments that topple the dictator's regime.

All you can hear are the people's chant of Cory! Cory! Cory! till she was entered the Cathedral's lobby. From the scorching heat of the sun, the Filipinos brave to profess their love and respect for the former president of the Philippines.

Personally, I really admire the sincerity and the humbleness of President Aquino. I don't have any acquaintances nor recollection with her, but a mere advocacies of democracy and willingness to serve the people. I was moved by her death.

My heart is full of sorrow and I have been mourning her untimely death. For I believe she could have done many more things that could benefit the entire nation.

So long President Cory and Many Thanks for this DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM that you have won for us.

The PROPOSED CHARTER Amendments

Here is the copy that I have found in the Internet, blogs, due to my eagerness to find out what those 172 Tongressmen are having in mind. Basically its a Parliamentary form of Government that they are after obviously. For Gloria will be their Prime Minister. See what kind of filthy hogs are they?

Matrix House Proposed Charter Amendments

JOIN THE CALL AGAINST CON-ASS

SAY HELL NO TO CHARTER CHANGE

What is the real concept of Con-Ass or the Constituent Assembly?

As the world famous Wikipedia.org will define CON-ASS. Con-Ass" is one of the three modes in which the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines could be amended or revised. The others were People's Initiative and Constitutional Convention.

But why people nowadays wears this necklace made from garlic, and they are not just people but members of the Senate. Why people last June 2, 2009 disturbed while they were asleep, while majority of the politicos are having a party in the fence of Gloria.

It is because of the passage of House Resolution 1109. Here is the copy of that House Resolution numbered 1109. House Resolution No. 1109 House Resolution No. 1109

So yesterday, people from all sector of our beloved society came to designated place of protest. They are now the start of the continued protest of the true majority. Not by this 172 Congressmen living in Gloria's poo of money.

People swarms the city streets of Makati, Davao, Dagupan,Bacolod, Iloilo, Manila, and Cagayan De Oro.

This is for me, the OPNENING SALVO of protest against the "Gloria Regime", "Gloria Forever Scenario". This will continue until the expected last SONA or the State of the Nation Address of Gloria Arroyo on July 27, 2009.

JOIN the CALL against Charter Change of Gloria.

THE ALEC BALDWIN's APOLOGY

"I'd like to offer an apology and a clarification to remarks I made recently.

While on the David Letterman program, I joked that I might need a "mail-order bride" to achieve the goal of having more children in my life. I believe that most people understood that this was a joke and took it as such. (A dated reference, no doubt, and another sign of my advancing age.) However, I do apologize to anyone who took offense. The comments of some Philippine government officials come as no surprise to me, either. Even the one by a former action film star-turned-Senator who beckoned me to come to the Philippines so he could "beat" me over my comment.

Such anger and frustration about the issue of sex trafficking is understandable. The Philippines has suffered significant problems with the issue of sex trafficking and I would like to turn your attention to the work of an organization called Love146 that my brother Stephen educated me about. Visit their website at www.love146.org and learn of the important work that is being done, in various regions of the world, by Rob Morris and his co-founders and staff.

I had met with Rob in New York, some months before the Letterman appearance, in the hopes of helping him raise money for this group. Again, I apologize for the perceived insensitivity of that remark and ask you to visit the Love146 site."

Red Cross Hostages Beheading Set

Abu Sayyaf Group Al Qeada linked extremist / terrorist is now ready to behead their captives as the ultimatum expires this day.

Abu Sayyaf commander Albader Parad threatened to behead one of the three Red Cross hostages _ who include a Swiss, an Italian and a Filipino _ at 2 p.m. Tuesday (0600 GMT) unless police and militiamen withdraw from 15 villages on Jolo Island within 24 hours, Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno said.

"Their demands as of last night are physically impossible to comply with by anybody," Puno said at a news conference, adding they will continue to find ways to save the hostages "up to the last minute."

As recalled the extremist wants the Philippine Forces to withdraw its men from said locations of the hilly mountains of Indanan in Sulu. And now they want a total pullout of all military in the village.

Charter Change or your PDAF or even your SARO

Desperate tactics are now in the midst to have the Charter change (Cha-cha) pushed through via Constituent Assembly or Con-ass to ensure her (PGMA) of continued stay in the top political office of the land, President Arroyo believed has blessed the bribe amounting to P1 billion in congressional projects — to cover soft and hard components of their pork barrel plus cold cash of a million pesos each — in exchange for their “irreversible” vote for changes in the Constitution to usher in term extensions for all elective officials on a hold-over capacity, in preparation for a parliamentary system, opening the door for Mrs. Arroyo to run as a member of parliament.

As if the the Arroyo couple is now moving heaven and earth just to make the push for Charter Change. By withholding the SARO or the Special Allotment Release Orders (not contented of not giving the pork to those representative who really needs the money). This allegations is being confirmed by the DBM or the Department of Budget and Management through the Philippine Daily Tribune.

It is been said the "too many congressmen are not happy with the Palace's handling the situation." "and it is indeed pressuring the top leadership of the House of Representatives (Nograles) in a speedy approval of the House Resoultion in convening the Con Ass or the Constituent Assembly. Nograles actually says he is not a "lapdog" to the Palace or to GMA or even to the Arroyo's but he is an ALLY.

I HOPE THIS TRUE..."ALLIES RESPECTS EACH OTHER".

I think HR #737 will be tackled this April 13 as the House goes back in session. Therefore we must act in vigilance to protect our democracy and freedom.

The still unnumbered resolution needs only 22 more congressional endorsements to reach 197 supporters from Congress which comprises the three fourths votes passed the HR and to amend the Constitution.

I really smell something wrong here...if this House Resolution is passed by the House of Representatives via 3/4 vote then there will be A NO-EL Scenario.

This might be a Nightmare for SOME

Cesar Mancao, Michael Ray Aquino and Glenn Dumlao are former policemen of our country right? Just like the released assailant of former Senator Ninoy Aquino. And let me just tell you this, THE case of Dacer-Corbito is just another double murder case that will be left unclosed and denied of justice until this men came to the Philippines unharmed and alive, then reveals the names who are accountable and testify in court proceedings.

Another "Aquino-Galman" in the making ladies and gents. People who are still in power and still with influence can manipulate the system. So go to hell! you know who you are.

Justice Secretary Raul M. Gonzalez says and I quote "Mancao was concerned about his security if and when he returns to the Philippines to testify on the murders of publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito in 2000." and "Mancao wanted to serve as state witness in the case and be cleared of all charges."

See, why did Cesar Mancao is afraid to testify in this heinous crime? It is because BIG MEN in Philippine Politics wants to eradicate this BIG MOUTHED son of a gun. Maybe, he is under the "brothers' keepers code" of their society of some kind.

Good luck to my country then.

2010 automated polls budget updates

The House of Representatives voted in favor of the P11.3-billion supplemental budget on third reading Tuesday night, the House of Representatives is eyeing the approval of either one of two "companion bills" that will likely determine how the 2010 elections will be conducted.

HB 5715, the measure allocating an P11.3-billion supplemental budget for election automation, was approved Monday night with 193 affirmatives votes, one negative vote, and one abstention.

Now its the Philippine Senate will have to approved this supplemental budget for the COMELEC to start their work.

An Invisible Threat

The proposed bill of "Right of Reply" by both houses of Congress is a clear threat poses against the Media.

I am not a media personnel but, I can rely on media rather than the government today and for the future maybe. This proposed bill of Right of Reply can dictate the media outlets such as: radio, newspaper, television and maybe here in the web to have a space for "their" reply on the issue.

In a free society you cannot dictate the media of such acts.
