Wasn’t this JPE’s ambition?
Now he got what he wanted,ilan buwan na kaya nya ginagapang ito?
now he is asking forgiveness for all his shortcomings.
People forget, tayo nga nalimutan na natin ang role nya sa martial law eh.
pano nga pala yung smuggling issue sa port irene,
kalimutan na lang ba? ganun na lang?
a corrupt SP resigned…another corrupt SP as a replacement…
walang pagbabago…
Hi Karl,
Would like very much to have your Dad’s take on why Pong Biazon backed this coup… not against Senate coup but to install Johnny Enrile? Gosh that’s going overboard.
now improvement is on the horizon?
atleast i am consistent in my posts that our country is run by clowns and the solution is to raise the political consciousness of the people so they can distinguish the clowns from the statesmen/women.
the children’s favorite party game “trip to jerusalem” where you have to grab your chair as the music stop is the most practical representation of the changing of the Senate “guards”. No principle at all is involved, only pure children’s fun, the only difference is that these people are no longer kids, but are “Gentlemen/Women” who were mandated by the people to work for their welfare. :)
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, For the meantime anyway.
Escudero, Gordon, Lacson, Legarda, and Roxas have their presidential agendas. But Jinggoy? So Villar was never forgiven by Erap, huh?
I say party-less politics really sucks! These senators will just wake up one morning confused with their loyalties. Blue, red, orange, etc. The Pink Chairman might just hijack the vote with this confusion.
Favors the sitting power in the palace anytime if you ask me.
Hi Anna!
I am sorry, but I could not get a straight answer from him.All I got was it was two weeks in the making ,but it was really finalized over the weekend.
But let me share this, there was an issue before where senator Biazon offended JPE by mentioning edsa as a so called revolution, JPE went ballistic that time and senator Biazon,apologized. my dad said he should not have apologized lumalabas tuloy na takot sya. My dad had to fix that.
There are stuff that my father can advise,but most of the time,he keeps on reminding me that the senator has a mind of his own ,and they disagree on some issues.
And another thing,aside from my dad, the senator has a couple of clasmates advising him,my dad just happened to be the most senior among them.
in this cases i think the consensus is from senator to senator,I would not call it a party consensus,because the other liberals abstained.
anna, to add to my personal take, he followed Roxas.
anna, (correction) reading the newspapers and what i said of the timeframe 2 weeks, maybe I heard it wrong,the newspaper says it was two months.
I really agree with you that the JPE selection was overboard.
I also agree with MLq3 that Enrile is for Enrile and no one else.
Ung mga bumoto against villar ay mga aspiring presidentiables & party. Gusto lang mapigil ang momentum ni villar. Pero latter on, hihiwalay din kay Enrile. Tanga pala si Enrile e, di niya alam na ginagamit lang siya para hindi halata na sina roxas-lacson-legarda ang mabiyayaan sa move na ito.
Halata na ang purpose lang ng bumoto against villar ay para mawala momentum niya. Kasi kung talagang pagbabago ang hangad nila, bakit si enrile ang ipinalit na kapatid din niyang kurakot?
Hahahaha! Hello, magpakatotoo nga kayo mga nakakahiyang senador? Bwisit talaga ang nangyayari sa Pinas!!!!!
Thanks loads Karl for the lowdown… (Regards to your Dad and to Charrie.)
Regards as well Anna and you are welcome.
An Open Letter to Senator Manny Villar
http://realestateguru.multiply.com
I am Amos “mOi” Victorio, I don’t know if you are aware of my name, but last year 2007 I was awarded Top Business Partner representing Premier Communities Partners Inc. a subsidiary company of Communities Philippines Inc. a company under Vista Land and Lifescapes a publicly listed company you founded and family owned majority shares. I think you attend the Awards Night at Insular Auditorium at Filinvest Corporate City.
First, I am sorry to see the news today that you are replaced by the now Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile. Honestly, I feel glad and vindicated. I am sorry, but since year 1999 I am selling your subdivisions, and last year was when I got to the peak of my career when I got awarded for my efforts. I attributed my success to the success of your company. I would not be where I am now without Crown Asia, Camella Homes and other brands you created.
Secondly I would like to ask you, Where are my remaining receivables? Why the people that handles your company in Bulacan deprived me of receiving my remaining commission which I deserved to enjoy. Why I cannot have access to records so transactions will be transparent? Is this the “Corporate Values” your company practices? I believe this was not my orientation during my early years in your company. My poor elderly mother who once begged for the General Manager of your company to have access to my remaining receivables was totally shoved away. I am just asking for my money that I worked for. And what ever outside problems I had with other entity must not involve your company, because it is outside the company parameters and the agreement I had with your company. Unless, your people secretly conniving outside your company.
Third, where are my taxes? For years I am working as seller for your subdivisions, my commissions and other incentives was automatically deducted 10% withholding taxes. I just want to have the copies of BIR remittances; I think it is my right as a taxpayer to receive a copy of receipt that the government actually receives my money.
I am now with another developer. I am broken hearted because your company that I respected for so long and molded me to embrace real estate selling has treated me badly. There are changes and decisions I need to take, your management might not be happy and support those changes and decisions I made. But it is not an excuse for your company to deprive me of what I still deserve to have. Or I will believe that stealing might be a common practice in your company.
Lastly, just like my concern with my withholding taxes remittances. As a Filipino, I will quote Senator Jamby Madrigal as she spoke today on TV evening news that “Sipag at Tiyaga was turned to C-5 at Taga.” I hope not.
amos victorio,
keep the fire burning. don’t give up. :)
amos victorio,
you can also send this to mike enriquez or corina sanchez :) Im not sure if manny villar or his kiss-ass is reading the posts here, and if they are they will probably just ignore your letter.
amos,
or you can sell your story to propective opponents of Manny Villar (if you have not done so)
amos,
“I just want to have the copies of BIR remittances; I think it is my right as a taxpayer to receive a copy of receipt that the government actually receives my money.”
go to BIR yourself and follow up if your income tax has been reported by your previous employer. you have a duty to do so. do not rely on manny villar, he’s too busy thinking , how to make more money without government scrutiny.
“REGARDING THE RACIST STATEMENTS AGAINST THE FILIPINO PEOPLE MADE BY A FORUM-MANAGER FROM MSN..”
I’m a Filipino blogger for righteous causes. I hope you can help me on this issue!
This is about some ‘racist statements’ that have been issued by a forum manager of Israel.place- -an active MSN forum–against the Filipino nation. This is a voice of protest against such racist statements issued by supposed-to-be a Jewish American who hates anti-Semitic slurs.
Here is the link to those ‘racist statements’ against the Filipino nation: http://groups.msn.com/Israelplace/general.msnw?action=get_message&mview=0&ID_Message=93036&LastModified=4675699832188211443 .

Tzipora Livni is the woman for Israel! If the USA has a Barack now, Israel should have a Deborah in Tzipora Livni! Livni is intelligent, wise and a peace-loving woman….. Israel needs Livni as its new leader! The Israeli nation deserves Livni!
Henry, remember that Obama won! You lost because Obama won!
LIVNI SHALL WIN! THE ISRAELI NATION NEEDS LIVNI!
And the racist statement that was made in response to that post was this one:

I wasn’t the only person that lost. America lost because Obama won.
Much like the Filipinos will always be losers because all you have to select from are other Filipinos.

Oh my…. Henry, you didn’t know that racism is idiocy?!! You should have the courage to make a public apology to the Filipino people for your blatantly-racist comment on post # 6 of this thread! Such comment is racist to all the Filipinos of this globe! Racism is idiocy! No to racism!
YES TO RACIAL EQUALITY IN THE WHOLE GLOBE! AMEN.

keep thinking you’ll get an apology and /or racial equality because you pray to your statue Jesus.
and I’ll continue knowing what an imbecile you are.
I have a question. Japan manufactures good quality cars that Americans buy.
Koreans manufacture good quality cars for Americans to buy.
filipinos produce drugs, muslims and prostitutes – why is your country so stupid?
I hope that your news bureau can bring this issue to the management of MSN. The one who issued such racist post is supposed-to-be one of the main managers of the Israel.place forum. I hope you can bring up this issue to the national press, so that racist statements will not be legitimately- tolerated by MSN and all the other internet-service providers of the world. The MSN should urge such forum-manager of the Israel.place to issue a public apology to the Filipino nation! Please help me on this issue.. Please contact me at this cp number: 0927-3127011. Or you can call me at tel. number: 847-2166. Thanks.

Why do you worry about what some person you do not even know says? He most likely has never been to the Philippines and from the sound of him does not even know any Filipinos. His post sounds mentally ill. if anything, you should feel compassionate towards him because he is sick in the head. Worrying about a national slur is ridiculous. He is not a preseidnt or prime minister, he is just some anonymous person on the internet. Stop worrying.
Villar. Ooops sorry for the profanity, lets just address the former house speaker and now ex-senate president like some inanimate object.
“It” should have never been elected in any position from the start, now look at “it”, for those who voted for “it”, enjoy.
How do you earn an honest million? Honestly.
I remember he should have won the Black Artist of the year award when “it” was speaker of that “lower” house. The way “it” suddenly rapped the impeachment proceedings against erap to the senate was wrong. I may not like erap, never have, never will, but the late Congressman Aguinaldo was right when he protested, it was pig pen moments at that infernal place for highwaymen fond of going to EDSA instead of the ballot.
I believe the budget insertions were legitimate accusations rightfully hurled at that.. creature. Peterpandesal Cayetano can return to where he belongs.
What kind of a name is Jokker?
Let’s forget all the accusations against these politicians. I hope they will turn a new leaf in the coming election and stop the corrupt practices. I just hope that Mr. Villar will be able to bless everyone asking help from him. Mr. Enrile should help his fellow Cagayanos in need.
There’s nothing to get with this accusations so we better rest our mind and think whose candidate are we going to vote for Presidency. I believe Manny could really wants useful changes here in our country and he will do nothing such evil like corruption. They will both surely do their responsibilities in the country well.
