Reading online newspapers today, we have the following good side of the news, if I may:
One, TF is cleared. Assistant City Prosecutor Mary Pamittan dismissed the charge against TF, et al for violations of pertinent sections of PD 1829. Apparently, the argument flows from the observation that the authorities must first determine if a crime was committed before anyone could be charged of obstruction of justice. This must be answered prayers from Korina Sanchez for one, and for many other TF listeners.
Two. GT runs dark-horse. The defense secretary Gilberto Teodoro is set to run for 2010 with at least a TV ad already hitting the screen. It is hoped that it will soon be formally announced that GT will be the anointed one of Malacanang. Columnist Julius Fortuna thinks “Teodoro has conveyed the image of a daring upstart” in the fashion of Baruch Obama. It bears watching how he would weather low ratings for now and the unifying factor of a yet uncoalescing coalition of Lakas and Kampi.
Three. MP bats for Congress yet again. Manny Pacquiao’s party-list, People’s Champ Movement is set to be accredited by the COMELEC unless it yet finds any ground for it to be disapproved. Barring none, a two-prong approach hits the ground running: Pacman bats for congressional seat in Sarangani than in General Santos as his brainchild party-list likewise rides the crest. This might mean a single investment for two-dimensional rates of return.
But just to spice things up a bit, can we please just browse over what part of Amb. Ernesto Maceda has spelled out in his today’s column to wit?
Four. “No wonder political appointments are not usually announced.” The good columnist made mention of the appointment of a certain appointee as epitomizing the poor quality of presidential appointees in that there seems to be no more background checking or vetting prior to appointment by GMA. Certainly, Maceda has likewise decried that epidemic of more and more military and PNP generals being appointed to career civilian positions thus probably ‘bastardizing’ the civil service career system.
All told, this has been such a lazy day with only about a half attending session in the House of Representatives since some of them are in an extended vacation of sort. We heard that they likewise went through the ‘thermal scanner’ as they exit NAIA. True enough, it is better to be safe than sorry.
We hope things become better before they become worse especially in the political landscape. We sure hate to see more of the same with the entry of new congressional leaders, some 32 of them added to the already overcrowded chamber – an ‘echo chamber’, no less. We sure hate to realize that at the Senate front, they are busy debating which Rules of the Chamber to adopt – the US-copied Rules of Senate, the Old Rules of the Senate, or the New Rules of the Senate – as if no permissible debate can yet start until after the Rules are well agreed.
The menu at the Senate table that they themselves will feast on is, we are told, on how to approach the controversy over Villar with such contemplation as to the possibility of inflicting expulsion of a Senate member, if determination warrants. From where I stand, the snafu will drag a little bit longer than the matter can be neatly presented for deliberations.
Point is, trust the new Senate President that something good comes out from this ‘feud’.

HA!HA!HA!HA! What are you taking us, Primer? The news I want to hear from you is how did the stuck-up high-strung pekeng-peryodistas got away in violating Nicole’s privacy?
I don’t read news from pekeng-peryodistas. It’s got nothin’. It’s for idiots! There is nothing in it. It’s pure fantasy.
I repeat again, who, just name one pekeng-peryodista that criticize their very own on Nicole’s violation of her privacy ….
Is National Press Club run by the mob? Is NPC like boxing run by the mob. Are their mind being held hostage or are they just plain dumb stuck-up strung-out stupid!!!!!!?????? HUH?
You know what? The pictures you are uploading still show up as broken links on the right-hand panel.
How hard is it, dude? :D
Are any of your post, Primer, TRUE? Or are this a figmenet of pekeng-peryodistas imagination. Did it really happen. Did they use their knucklehead to ask aside from the horses mouth? HUH?
I’m tired of pekeng-peryodistas. They are coin-operated …. DUDH!
Tell me one thing, Primer. Why is no “citizen” charging pekeng-peryodstas for violating Nicole’s privacy? HUH?
What’s good news, Primer if there is a semblance of invistigation by some idiot Senators on Nicole’s violation of privacy …. HA!HA!HA!
By the way, Primer, you should come up with a thread enumerating Senate invistigations that landed as flops … that nothing came out of it !!!! HAHA!HA!HA!
That’s good news!!! HA!HA!HA!HA
Let us put it this way, my friend Renato.
I am not a journalist, maybe not even a writer. With that, I don’t belong to whom you tag as “pekeng peryodista”.
You seem to know more than anyone else how Nicole’s (whoever she truly is?)privacy has been violated, transgressed, bastardized so perhaps, you be the one to tell us instead?
Honestly, I didn’t see how her privacy was violated based on limited accounts from so-called pekeng peryodista. One thing was made certain – they proved the existence of a crime and at another turn, actually disproved its existence. You know, sometimes truth is like conquering a mountain – there is nothing at the peak, after all.
Offhand, all other things you have been too concerned about are beyond me – maybe, beyond us. It is only when you are at the top that you know what really is happening. And none of us has ever been there.
Take your pills, Renato and you might feel better after. This is one lazy day but I hope you stay fine.
Nicole’s privacy was divulged in pekeng-peryodiko in violation of the law. How would we have known Nicole’s name? Her face was ignomously splashed on print and broadcast media so did in this blog. If this is not good enough, God Holy Mary Mother of Satan ….
Thanks for reminding me about my pills … I just pop two to rein myself in …
… Primer, you are a gentleman. You did not bastardize me … you’re cool, man!
Renato, you are now at your lowest of your point of diminishing return. In fact the return is nil already, nil, heheh, your every word now is a repeat a thousand times over, totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-totot-
Bert, I have to repeat it over and ovver and over and over again because Filipinos has Attention Deficit Disorder and Long-Term Memory Loss ….
“In May 1789, Louis XVI summoned to Versailles a full meeting of the ‘Estates General’. The First Estate consisted of three hundred clergy. The Second Estate, three hundred nobles. The Third Estate, six hundred commoners. Some years later, after the French Revolution, Edmund Burke, looking up at the Press Gallery of the House of Commons, said, ‘Yonder sits the Fourth Estate, and they are more important than them all.’” — Wikipedia
