I predict a 30-70 chance for David. After all, maghirap na ang buong Pilipinas, but I believe Pampanga has had so much of a blessing during her Term- pasko kahit hindi December, ika nga ng ilan. However, kung matalo man si David, then I think that served the purpose of his running-that we did not just let her take the position without battle. kung matalo man…

I predict a 30-70 chance for David. After all, maghirap na ang buong Pilipinas, but I believe Pampanga has had so much of a blessing during her Term- pasko kahit hindi December, ika nga ng ilan.

However, kung matalo man si David, then I think that served the purpose of his running-that we did not just let her take the position without battle.

It may be a long shot for the position. However, miracles can happen. Pampanga is the bulwark of Catholicism. We like the Cenaculo and the nailing of the cross of Penitents during Holy Weeks. If Gloria Arroyo would like to have penance for her sins. Let her be crucified on Holy Week. Mike Arroyo, Sr. will be crucified on her right. Joc Joc Bolante will be crucified on her left. The country will finally have its redemption. Randy David can try his luck in politics. It may be a long shot for

It is the socio department's academic prerogative to nominate their chair. Now whether that is significant in David's candicacy, air your complaints when he is on the stump.

Blocking Ms. Arroyo is a bonus. Getting a principled thinker into the legislature is extraordinarily valuable. One down . . . ummm, how many legislative seats are there? . . . several hundred to go.

That itself is significant!" what's truly significant is that the professor is now chair of the u.p. sociology department and continues to refuse prof. sarah raymundo tenure, still WITHOUT saying why, and WITHOUT giving prof. raymundo a chance to defend herself. his excuse, that it was decided during former chair aquino's term, doesn't wash, because the case isn't over, the higher-ups have decided in favor of granting tenure, and prof. david has a chance to right a grievous wrong, but he won't. so what's so great about his politics again??? http://wonderdust.blogspot.com/2009/01/who-afraid-of-sarah-raymundo.html wasnt it you who said: "Supporters of Prof Raymundo says that her department has not been transparent enough in its decision rejecting her application for tenure. At UP Diliman these “tenure problem controversies” are often observed at the College of Social Science and Philosophy. The reason as some CSSP insiders say is that decisions are often influenced by ideological persuasions. Now Raymundo is a known ”tibak”. I wonder why this tibak got the ire of UP’s homegrown “fascists”? Now it should be that in an academic community, tenure should be determined by one’s academic standing. It should matter not if one is a Marxist, Maoist, Fascist, Atheist, Opus Dei, ADD, Iglesia ni Cristo, Born Again, Catolico Sarado, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Metrosexual, Heterosexual etc." http://filipinovoices.com/the-centennial-partys-over-and-now-comes-the-hard-part “… while Randy may take a lefty stance on some issues, he won’t preach to the converted in the party list route.

I was a freshman and with my blockmates loitering along a Palma Hall corridor near his class. He came out in a a petit holy rage, and scolded us for making such a ruckus, as only snot-faced freshmen in Diliman could. We all bowed in deference of course. Somehow, he reminded me of late, my usually silent lolo, pero kung magalit, matindi!. LOL. No libbie egghead this Randy David! Go go fight the Pandak! Aww, Randy David.
