another funny story about villar…

if you listen to that first question on blogwatch, the interviewers asks what specific programs he was planning to do.

he ignored the question (!), saying programs are easy to hatch when u get there. then he proceeded to describe, in general terms, what people should look for in a presidential candidate.

i started to lol at his skill… i almost didnt notice it at first!

amazing, how he could just disregard the question, and go on a long speech like that! plus, his general description isnt really a general description at all — he was obviously alluding to himself!

since he’s not stupid, he dodged the question intentionally. that to me, is not funny at all. presidents should answer questions as directly as possible, especially such a basic question as the interviewer was asking…

GabbyD,

I agree but rather think that Jon Stewart in the US would be on the sanctioned hit list of journalists, for even hilarious fake news is dangerous to those bent cheating.

Saturday night live, Philippines . . . that would be good, too. I can imagine the caricatures of Villar, Noynoy and sis Kris, and Ms. Arroyo. Or Teodoro and his lost rubber boats. ahahahahahahahaha They make such great subjects, eh?

i wish we had a media show that put together incongruous statements by politicians, like the dailyshow in the US. that would be so much fun!

If he recently said it and also in 2007… Joe Taruc interviews Manny Villar:

Taruc: Bukod po dito, meron pa tayong tinatawag na BOT Law at maaari namang matamo ang naturang proyekto nang hindi gagastos ng kahit isang kusing ang gobyerno, hindi ho ba? Villar: Oo, meron tayong ganyan. Ang problema diyan, hindi sila makakagawa masyado. Taruc: Walang kikita? Villar: Walang kikita.

Is he being consistent on his stand re: BOT??? ----- What is BOT Scheme and What Did We Learn from the NBN Deal and the C-5 Project Scandal?

i agree. he should have just faced his accusers then.

the key issue, which he didnt really answer well in his speech, is what kind of involvement he had in molding the DPWH’s plan re C5.

from monsod’s article, villar instigated it.

villar denied it, but monsod says there are dpwh documents that stipulates what she said.

one of them is wrong. it should be easy to determine which one.

this is the key issue — he violated the constitutional provision clearly if he used his position/influence to make the dpwh build a road. if this was an independent plan by the dpwh, then there is no violation.

ironically, in the blogwatch podcast, he mentioned that the way govt can build infra with less budget burden is via BOT. the MCTEP was a BOT project! hahaha… the sweet irony… i wonder if he realizes it…
