There is simply no other show in the Philippines like the occasion of the State of the Nation Address (SONA), especially when it involves President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino, his family, and his minions. Some star-struck Filipinos even liken the spectacle to the internationally-renowned Academy of Motion Pictures awards night or the Oscars because public servants who attend it wear the best glittering gowns and barong tagalogs taxpayers could buy. And their observation could be right. A lot of the public servants could win the best acting category for “Pretending to care for the welfare of the country and its people”.
If they actually did care, these public servants wouldn’t dare display such callous extravagance on the day the head of state is scheduled to give a report on his “efforts” to uplift the lives of the poor. SONA is also that once-a-year event when Filipinos with huge egos and exaggerated sense of self-importance gather together in one venue to see and be seen and more importantly, to be a willing audience to a one-man performance act.
Just like any blockbuster film, President BS Aquino’s fourth SONA was big on special effects but thin on substance. He dazzled the audience with too much information, complete with testimonials that weren’t really important to the bottom line, which is job creation. He stuck to the tried and tested formula – human drama that appeals to the gullible crowd. It seemed to work because they missed the irony in his claim that the government has expanded its assistance program Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino from 700,000 to 4 million households in the three years of his administration. No one noticed the fact that the increase in the number of Filipinos relying on government assistance means the number of poor people has increased as well. The statistics show that it is up by roughly 800,000.

President BS Aquino’s goal shouldn’t even be to increase the number of enrolments in the PPP. Instead, he should see to it that the program would eventually result in the increase in the number of Filipinos who become self-reliant. The initiative should adopt a procedure that is similar to the first in, first out concept. Meaning, if one family has been receiving benefits for a certain period of time, there should be a point when they graduate from the program and not be forever included in it. That way, the funds allocated for the program don’t have to be too exorbitant. Any welfare assistance program should include measures to show that it is actually achieving its poverty alleviation objective. One way to ensure that it is working is to place effective checks-and-balances that would discourage people from cheating the system.
After the SONA, comes the fact checking. This should have been done before the SONA but hey, this is the Philippines where the majority doesn’t really care. For some reason, whoever is helping the President gather data always gets something wrong. The Philippine Medical Association reportedly doubts the accuracy of the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) claim that 81 percent of Filipinos had so far been enrolled in the government’s universal healthcare program. To quote:
PMA president Dr. Leo Olarte said state health insurance had long been having difficulties with its information and communication technology (ICT) system to come up with a scientific count.
“If we assume that the total population of the Philippines is 100 million, then 81 percent of Filipinos who are supposedly enrolled in PhilHealth numbers to around 81 million,” Olarte said. “If we follow this kind of logic, a total of eight out of 10 hospital admissions across the country should be PhilHealth cases.”
But reports from various hospitals nationwide did not support this claim, said the head of PMA, an umbrella organization of medical doctors in the country.
“We are just curious and very interested to see the scientific basis of this particular PhilHealth declaration mainly because of some conflicting claims in the past,” Olarte said, pointing to the 2008 National Demographic Health Survey showing that only 38 percent of respondents were aware of at least one household member enrolled in PhilHealth.
Those who saw the BS in PNoy’s SONA just make fun of it.
An Aquino speech wouldn’t be complete without his signature theatrics. As usual, he dared to lambast and shame a few government agencies whose members he referred to as “makakapal ang mukha” (thick-faced) in front of a large audience. These agencies were Bureau of Immigration, National Irrigation Administration and Bureau of Customs with the latter receiving the full brunt of his tirade in the last half his 102-minute speech.
While it’s true that these agencies needed to improve their performance, BS Aquino’s sincerity in fixing the problem is highly questionable. Why did he feel the need to show his dissatisfaction with these agencies during his SONA? He inadvertently proved that he is not on top of the situation. Why didn’t he just fire the incompetent government employees? Or, the more decent thing for him to have done was sat down with the head of the agencies involved and speak to them about the need to shape up or ship out. He could have done this in a more private setting months ago.
Oh, that’s right: The President was busy campaigning for his party mates in the first half of the year, which could explain why he is not on top of the situation.
A lot of people were amazed at how BS Aquino could scold these agencies one day and then reject the resignation of the personnel in charge the next day. He was very inconsistent. At least three Customs officials have been compelled to file their resignation after being shamed in the SONA. Customs chief Ruffy Biazon, Deputy Commissioner Danny Lim and Juan Lorenzo Tañada were all willing to give up their posts but they were all told to stay put. It’s simply one of those things that make you go “hmmm…”
Both Ruffy Biazon and former rebel soldier, Danny Lim could not contain their frustration at their current posts. Both reportedly admitted that it is very difficult to institute reforms with Lim claiming that there are too many “powerful forces” that meddle in the Bureau of Custom’s affairs. Unfortunately, the former brigadier general who was instrumental to a number of failed coup d’etat against Former President Gloria Arroyo was not brave enough to name names.
Back when he was still a rebel soldier, he probably thought it was too easy to institute reforms in government. Now that he is part of the system, Danny Lim realizes that it is not that easy after all. He should also realize that it was naïve of him to blame everything on GMA and attempt to force her removal from office twice, once in 2003 and then again 2007. If he thinks that President BS Aquino has nothing to do with the corrupt activities in various agencies such as the Bureau of Customs, then it follows that GMA could not have had anything to do with the corruption in various agencies during her term as well. But we all know that it is unlikely he will see it that way. Some people simply want to blame everything on GMA.
Speaking of rebels, the number of activists expressing their grievances against the Aquino government seems to be growing. It’s not even limited to the ones in the country. It was reported that Filipinos from across the United States staged protest actions during BS Aquino’s SONA. Filipino-Americans protested simultaneously in front of the Philippine consulate offices because of the rampant injustice still happening in the Philippines.
We’re just criticizing, exposing the deceit of President Aquino’s state of the union address. We can see injustices still happening in the Philippines, poverty, corruption and the false promises of hope,” said Joshua Jimenez of Bayan-USA.
They said that despite the president touting high remittances and improved economies, and recent economic visits by Philippine officials to the US, majority Filipinos remain in poverty.
“One of the things we’re opposing is the labor export program of President Aquino where he systematically exports Filipino people and uses them and their labor, remittances to hold up the economy,” added Terry Cervas of women’s rights group Gabriella, “while they export Filipino people they don’t do anything to protect their rights.”
Indeed, BS Aquino’s SONA did not even give a special mention to the country’s breadwinners – the overseas foreign workers (OFWs). They left their families behind to seek employment overseas earning minimum wages but when some of them get in trouble, they claim that the Philippine government hardly gives them assistance. The OFWs have made BS Aquino’s job so easy. Their remittances have kept the country’s economy stay afloat and have been the reason for its resilience despite the economic crisis in other parts of the world. It wasn’t really BS Aquino’s hard work after all.
Forced to endure hunger and fatigue to guard against agitated protesters.
That is the reality that BS Aquino refuses to accept. He even claims that “it is wonderful to be a Filipino in these times.” Such sweet words that is music to his supporters’ ears. But for a lot of Filipinos, it is wonderful to be in another place, far away from the dysfunction and mediocrity at this time.

Ooh, looks like someones butthurt is showing, What’s the matter,TROLL? The truth hurts too much?
Go and run home to your mommy then. We don’t need a stupid sack of shit like YOU here.
If you want to call people “Dummkopf”, then you should at least spell it right..The irony is just very amusing.
@observant: thanks for the correction.
Lmao, Jhonny Derp is at his job again. Chasing people off whenever someone’s against the supposed “get-real-philippines articles”.
@C4:
It seems you and bida kapamilya are certified TROLLS and YELLOW ZOMBIES.
Deal with it. 😛
@C4
And? Is that supposed to be insulting?
So what? Trolls like YOU are nothing but a waste of space.
TROLL HARDER
Conditional cash transfer is NOT a dole out.benefeciaries are bound to these requirements: certification from health centers,schools,fds or family dev sessions and some other seminars.they do not received these cash by just sitting alone.why are so many people out there criticizing these deprived brothers of ours? Maybe diversion of attention should be on these matter….PDAF…..NAPOLES….flashy gowns n jewelries during sona…
Yes CCT is an Aquino legacy. Marami ang natutulungang mahirap.
At the same time, marami ring naging mga palamunin dahil mga dakilang juan tamad na sila.
Mr bida,
The CCT program was already in operation even during GMA’s term. Do your homework.
maganda rin ang CCT.. inumpisahan yan ni GLORIA, pero after 10 months ay itinigil niya dahil mukhang hindi talaga makatutulong bagkus makapagpapalala pa ng kahirapan… what do you know ? the present powerful government revived the CCT program, and from 12B pesos during GMA time, which was never increased because it was never renewed by GMA, the CCT project of the Aquino gov’t. ballooned to the present 40+B and projected to be increased by 60B next year. To any ordinary thinking Filipino it would mean that CCT is a complete failure because judging by the increase in its funding the number of the poor Filipinos is increasing rather than decreasing…
A fan of MENDICANCY.
Your loss. 😀
@nenita bearneza
Just because the beneficiaries are required to submit docs and attend seminars doesn’t mean the assistance can’t be considered dole outs.
Please read the article again because you missed the point. It is actually advocating for measures to be put in place to ensure that people do not abuse the program.
For your information, a lot of writers here including myself have written about the pork barrel funds. What do you know about Napoles? I don’t know a lot about it. You can’t expect me to speculate on stuff I hardly know anything about. That scam came out of nowhere and could be another diversionary tactic by the government as well to distract people from something they are doing.
Why don’t you ask BS Aquino himself why he didn’t even mention the pork barrel scam in this SONA? It was quite bizarre, really.
Another great article Ilda!!! But you are right!! We are sounding like broken records now since its the same things weve been hearing anyway for the last 4 craps
I know. It’s SOS (same old sh*t). But there is still a need to highlight some things that mainstream media fail to highlight. It’s also good to keep for the record. 😉
Thanks!
Ilda,
Based on the eyewitness accounts and the whistle blower testimonies, there should be at least enough to mandate a “lifestyle check.” Consider — neighbors in Ayala Alabang and Pacific Plaza talk about her lavish lifestyle. Just ask yourself the question: How did this woman from Basilan, a 4th Class province in terms of provincial income, get so rich? There’s even a story about how she keeps a hoard of cash in the bathtub.
This brings up another interesting point. How did this woman, and all those legislators she dealt with, move all that money around? Even if they dealt with several financial institutions, you’d think that in the banking community someone would have noticed what was happening. That suggests complicity by more than a few banks/bank managers in a wider MONEY LAUNDERING operation. PhP10 billion, all associated with ONE person and/or company (an NGO at that), could not have moved through the country’s financial system unless the banks helped them with the knowledge of where the money was coming from. Those banks should be made accountable; you’d think that they would be familiar with their clients, especially someone who happens to be moving vast amounts of money on a regular basis.
@Johnny Saint
Good point! It seems the “powerful forces” are everywhere. They probably put up a lot of businesses as front for their money laundering scheme, which could be under the names of family members to avoid suspicion.
This whole thing is so convoluted. I tend to think it’s just a black propaganda to distract the public from PNoy’s incompetence. I refuse to fall into the trap of engaging in speculating about who, what, where and when until something concrete comes out of the papers or until someone files the necessary charges.
As usual . The recipe of the trolls . Ignore the incompetence of the bald, ignorant, goofy one. Just bring up Gloria. A route your hero did not even go down this time. Troll harder Ricky.
And there you go again resorting to say that I am a troll.
vinensus ignoramus, fill my glass with your delicious tears of asshurt now!
Well, you ARE a troll you stupid sack of shit.
A malacanang troll to be precise except you are not being a very effective one so I suggest you pack your things and get lost.
your name said it all puro ABS lang ang pinanonood mo kaya may tunnel vision ka na
Don’t resort to troll tactics and don’t exhibit troll values and you won’t be mistaken for a troll. Your idol did not accomplish one thing in life. Is only defined by hoisting up pics of his parents, his whorsiter’s endorsement and his Captain Ahab type obsession with Gloria. So of course the cyber Black ops unit allegedly commandeered by Tricky Ricky use the same tactics. Next thing you will tell me those aren’t trolls. TROLL HARDER.
@bida
If you can’t blame BS Aquino for the continued corruption during his term, how can you continue to blame GMA for the corruption during her term considering the people involved in various agencies including those who transact with those agencies also engaged in bribery and corruption? Did you expect GMA to hover over them 24/7? Even your idol Noynoy is not on top of the situation. He doesn’t inspire people to “change” and do the right thing.
Uunahan na kita vincensus ignoramus. Magsalita ka na naman ng tungkol sa mga kasinungaliangang krimen ni gma at mga papuri mo kay Father Comstock (pnoy) dahil sa “tuwid na daan” nya, get your ass ready to be humiliated by us.
Each expose – whether political corruption, contract irregularities, or extrajudicial killings – is increasingly shown to have a direct link to malacanan and nobody now believes in the anti-corruption stance of pnoy aquino.
Inquiries – which never amount to anything – and admonishments – which never result in senior sackings – are all for show, and more will be revealed to highlight pnoy as a hypocrite and traitor of the first order.
Ochoa has always been corrupt and about time his murky role and deceit was made public.
No different is the belmontes who also play a pivitol role.
Add drilon into the mix and the country simply has a new mafia in charge
@Libertas
Ochoa’s name has been linked to corrupt activities a few times lately. It’s quite odd that Malacanang is quick to clear his name though. They are acting like a bunch of hypocrites.
bida kapamilya, yang US dinner, NBN ZTE, Fertilizer scam, mga alleged corruption nong panahon ni GMA, hanggang ngayon, after 3 years ng Aquino administration, after Aquino hold power over congress, supreme court, ombudsman, sandiganbayan, comelec, in short, the whole government machineries, hindi pa rin napapatunayan ang lahat ng mga bintang na yan ke GMA. wala naman akong problema kung hindi mo pa rin nakikita ang totoong nangyayari sa ating bansa. karapatan mong magpakatanga. huwag ka na lang mandamay pa, please.
LOL, being arrested is different from being declared guilty by the court. GMA is just tagged as a suspect of the said scams.
Bakit sa SONA at sa diyaryo niya binabatikos at hinihiya ang mga government agencies katulad ng Bureau of Customs, Bureau of Immigration at National Irrigation Administration na ang mga pinuno nito ay hinirang niya? Maaari naman niya gawin ito sa cabinet meeting. Dahil bukod sa hindi siya tumatawag ng regular na cabinet meeting ay nagpapasikat at nagkukunwari siya na may ginagawa para sa bayan. Wala talagang nalalaman ang presidente ito kung paano magpatakbo ng gobyerno.
@Rogelio Lim
Exactly! PNoy could have met with the heads of these agencies prior to the SONA instead of lambasting them in front of his audience. I think PNoy was doing a Pontius Pilate. He was trying to tell the public that he had nothing to do with the corruption. But unfortunately, by not firing the people he thinks are not doing their jobs, he is still liable and answerable to the public.
‘ the politicians in the philippines are childish, superficial, narcissistic, indolent, and display no sense of gravitas or even any genuine interest in, or basic knowledge of, the fundamental issues which afflict the country, and consequently lack any coherent plans or solutions, and instead involve themselves in detail, intrigue, power plays and irrelevancies as a strategy to avoid tackling the big issues, and many are simply nowhere to be seen or heard until the election fiesta rolls around.
Their lack of education and track record in a real job emphasises that politics is simply easy money for the lazy and the incompetent, and that there is neither the intellectual capacity or personal integrity to achieve any real steps towards progress. In fact the only conclusion is that economic, political, and social progress is the last thing that the corrupt politicians, dynasties, oligarchs and officials want as they block the obvious solutions and fight to retain a feudal system funded by foreign aid and foreign filipino workers and a system which perpetuates mediocrity and continuity of an ‘elite group of mafia families’. Work is clearly an alien concept to those who have a distorted sense of self-importance and entitlement, but who earn no respect for their shameless attitudes and parasitic existence.
Their time is obviously spent on feathering their own nests through corruption and scams, putting as many family members in plum posts as possible, going on paid for foreign trips ad infinitum, and ‘extracurricular activities’ in ktv/hostess bars.
Pnoy Aquino is obviously not a leader, a change agent, or even a manager, but more akin to a weak and frightened errand boy, and is part of the problem not the solution – a square, and strange, peg in a round hole.
Foreigners especially are appalled at the disconnect and reality gap between ‘political society’ which only seems interested in attending parties and being involved in entertainment, and the extent of the poverty and slums, which genuinely shock and upset anyone from the west.
It is staggering that people/voters are so tolerant of the situation for so long, and that the media are so subservient.
And for senators and congressmen to feign ignorance of the systemic corruption in their ranks only adds insult to injury.’
YES, it is an insult (and how it is tolerated is beyond incredible!). They are so good at putting on that dumb-as-dumb fuck look too! BUT, it is incredible that they can do so with a straight face. Practice, practice, practice! laughing with a straight-face.
So great article! 🙂 The sona was really crappy.
Thanks!

the CORRUPTION plaguing the country has been an ‘institutionalized’ part of the entire ‘system’ for over 50 years. There is not a single politician who is not part of the mess created long before many readers here were even in diapers.
to think GMA was not corrupt, or her successor or any of GMA’s predecessors were not CORRUPT is to be VERY naïve.
it is the same shit, replayed over and over again to the point of being BEYOND predictable. A ‘scam’ is ‘un-covered’ by someone who did not get enough of the pie(?), HEADLINES are made,(LAUGHABLE!)blue-ribbon panels(headed by the crooks themselves!) are ’empaneled’ to ‘get to the bottom’ of the SCAM. after the correct people are pacified(BRIBED=PAID-OFF!) the SCAM simply loses steam, no more headlines, NO ONE goes to jail and NO PESO’s are ever returned to the government coffers were they were taken from.
the POS politicians take turns pointing the never ending finger at each other, according to the well planned/choreographed orchestration, and around and around it goes. it never ends this li’l masquerade because the blue-print for it works so well. Who in their right mind would ever dismantle such a well oiled SCAM? the BoI and BoC are probably two of the most lucrative scams in the country, outside of the NEVER-AUDITED GOCC’s, and they have obviously sent their ‘tributes’ to the correct ‘PARTIES'(you see they were a li’l behind schedule and so got a li’l attention in the SONA) and are now able to keep their well-paying jobs.
A SCAM IS A SCAM IS A SCAM, and the country is one big one! too bad too, country could have been a force in Asia instead of a laughingstock/whipping-boy.
Big bonuses and perks for mwss and gocc execs are back.
Another pledge in an earlier SONA goes the way of the crooked path of hypocrite aquino.
Interesting that mwss headed by major pnoy contributor and friend of ballsy aquino cruz. All crooked paths end up at the same cesspit.

How about you Ilda? What are your awards and achievements so that I could be convinced by your whining to our government?
*sighs* this again? Really now?
Nothing left to do so you resort to pitiful attacks on the author.
You really like being humiliated here do you, BK?
Troll Harder
“resort to pitiful attacks on the author.”
So this is considered an attack? I am only asking, fool. I don’t even case if she has no achievement.
tsk tsk, and you resort to pitiful attacks whenever someone questions you.
Pathetic
Looks Ilda really struck a nerve from you if you still insist on showing yourself here, fool.
Not really smart,are you, bida bobomilya?
Very funny, you fool.
The ayala/lopez funded rappler only shows that maria raissa is no longer considered a journalist but just a propagandist, and not a very intellectual one at that.
Rappler cannot even be honest about its funding – that says it all about their agenda/motives, and lack of any integrity. Guttersnipe.
Kicked out of CNN for not being up to par she soon sold out and reverted back to her murky little pond in the philippines, since not even a school newspaper would employ her in the west. If you are such a fan, then ask her why!
Ano naman kung dito siya nagtrabaho? She just want to return the favor na magsilbi sa bansa.
Magsilbi sa bansa o manloko ng mga uto-uto na katulad mo?
“she has no achievement ” . You described your boss/ idol/ president so accurately and completely in 4 words . Nothing more needs to be said. For once bida kapamilya you made complete sense. That is all that’s needed.
Rappler is a farce. Also a Yellow Media outlet. Maria Ressa is a former ABS-CBN reporter. Not to mention that the people behind Rappler also GET PAID. You can’t even find it here at GRP.
Fact: Because only FOOLS like YOU are gullible enough to believe the Aquino magic and hype, much like everyone with a last name has a label to them. 😀
Tsk tsk, as usual, reliant on credentials to determine validity. Typical Pinoy nga naman talaga.
You and pedigreed but BOBO presidente deserve each other, bobo kapamilya.
What is the problem about asking credentials? Malay mo kung sino lang yan?
Hu kunwari ka pa ipokrito.
Problem is that its intent is for more GRANDSTANDING, like what you are doing right now.
HYPOCRITES are also fools. And you’re one of them. I’m glad you are happy because you will get PAID by Ricky Carandang. 😀
Why does “sino yan” matter? Can’t focus on the content of the message instead of the messenger, huh, bobo kapamilya?
Asus…basta naman tuta ka ng administrasyon, magkakaroon ka ng mga award-award na yan. Pero tignan mo, di rin talaga nakakatulong sa kahirapan sa pinas. Palakasan lang iyan. Dinadaan lang sa koneksyon.
Well I cannot really sympathize with your bitterness against achievers like our president.
Somebody who has zero in his resume at age 50 is an achiever???? What dumb a$$ logic is that? His own campaign never highlighted anything the guy dud. Why? There was nothing!!!! Dream on a$$wipe . You can’t sympathize cause you lack balls and brains. Much like your idol.
So as gma dummkopf. Oh and what achievements pnoy’s asslicker? You mean he just stole them from past administrations? Now what if I stole all of your hard work achievements, destroy your good name and tell the whole world that it was all mine?
Anong pagiging proud mo sa anim nyang taon sa senado kundi matulog lamang? walang bill na ipasa kahit magsarili sya! At kahit anak siya ni cory at ninoy, walang ma iyayabang na social project. Parehas din kayong dalawa pero dahil mas tamad sya kay sa iyo, naging pangulo ng bansa sa pangalan lang. At ang mga taong may magandang idea sa politiko, sila ang hindi nagiging lider. Puro mga palpak lang.
There, I’ve said it. I’m sure you are joking. And you are. Fact is you can’t even reply right now because they are actually TRUE. 😀
Might as well consider yourself dead
Here lies, bobo kapamilya
the worst wannabe troll ever to have attacked GRP
Born: 2013
Died: 2013
Cause of death: Death by internet humiliation
Tsk tsk tsk…Hindi ako bitter, kundi nalulungkot ako at walang kalaban-laban ang mga taumbayan sa kasinungalingan at propaganda ng mga sumusuporta kay AbNoy.
Walang achievement ang “presidente” pa ninyo kundi lang kasikatan ng kanyang family name at koneksyon. Pero yung nagawa niya sa bayan?—Puro propaganda lang and nothing more.
Kaya itinatago ang ‘growing discontent’ ng taumbayan sa kanya sa pamamagitan ng mga peke na survey.
God help the pilipins, but not the president.
BS Aquino will go down in history as nothing better than just a PROPAGANDA PRESIDENT. No other president to date had too many divisions assigned just for media and constant dissemination of propaganda disinformation.
Corruption grew worse and more “successful” under the Aquino administration….dahil mas marunong lang syang magmalinis, kahit na korap pa rin—clean on the outside, but rotten in the inside…nangangamoy. God can see everything.
“….achievers like our president.” hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! Stop it already, (kontra)bida! You’re giving me a big tummy ache from laughing! Bring your crap somewhere else…to rappler.com, for instance?
@bida kapamilya
You mean you will only believe someone who has an “award”? That’s so shallow of you. 😉
Even if I get an award, I won’t share it with you. I don’t feel the need to brag.
Right on, Ilda! Right on!
Maria raissa and her lesbian lovers/partners are well suited to the fringes. I know that mainstream and serious media turned their back on her for her deceit and dramas and lack of ethics. Her true colours are now showing but a pariah in decent media circles.
this is clearly a fool who does not even read the news or know tge story. idiot
“it is wonderful to be a Filipino in these times.” Youbetcha! Especially if you’re part of the oligarchy.
Between taking it up the ar$e whenever obama asks aquino to bend over, and being pi$$ed upon by the chinese and taiwanese at every opportunity, pnoy is reverting to form as a subservient gimp who is scared of his own shadow, and has simply graduated from hiding behind womens skirts to hiding under the desk, exactly as his mother cory aquino did, and selling out the philippines exactly as his traitor grandfather aquino did.
What is it about the aquinos that breed cowardice, deceit, and treachery.
A year on libertas, but I am still pi$$ing myself laughing at such an acurate description of pnoy. That is him to a T. He is just one useless dumb mthrf#@#er. If ever there was an award for the dumbest president in the history of the world he would win it hands down no question.
So absentee congressman manny pacquaio said today that he will run for president in the future!
( i suspect vp in 2016 and presidency in 2022 is the plan)
The absurdity is only exceeded by the fact that he could actually win,
That sums up the future chances of the philippines. On the canvas – down and out.
His mafia friends will be rubbing their hands in anticipation.
Corruption is here to stay whether binay, estrada, revilla or any other of the motley crew of criminals.
“Or, the more decent thing for him to have done was sat down with the head of the agencies involved and speak to them about the need to shape up or ship out. He could have done this in a more private setting months ago.”
Well, we all know that this is one president who is noted for his coarseness and arrogance, as if being so will make him look macho.
Whaa, so many rage wars o.o, you guys should stick to the subject lol.
and stop it with the insulting it only becomes worse and worse.
So you support Yellow Zombie trolls like bida KAPALmilya?
Oh wait, don’t tell me you’re also EMO???
Cry me a river.
” Malacanang trolls ain’t got no humanity. They’re the foot soldiers of a intellect hatin’, opinion murderin’ maniac and they need to be dee-stroyed. That’s why any and every every son of a bit*h we find wearin’ a Carandang uniform, they’re gonna die. “
Might as well put a bullet in their heads since they’re already considered as brain dead.
what? now you call people stating opinions as a troll?!
I mean look, rae wars, rage here, rage there, cuss here, cuss there sometimes it even gets personal.
~Speaking the truth here
If you think bida kapalmilya’s comments are ‘opinion’, then you’re a total idiot.
Propaganda should never be called as opinion. In fact, it’s also a form of trolling. I’m just speaking the truth because you’re totally ignorant and a point-misser.
Deal with it. 😀
Gentlemen:
I guess having Bacolod Rep. Leonardia’s HB No. 4625 seeking to allow SSS pensioners to get re-employed approved in the Lower House and allowing senior citizens to enjoy nationwide the same benefits of those in Makati can increase Presidential Aspirant Mar Roxas’ chances of winning in the 2016 election. Doing so has huge multiplier effects for one senior citizen.
Thanks
Why would Mar benefit from a bill that he didn’t author?
