i watch your presidential speech last march 16, 2010 at ANC news… it was a reply and i didn’t clearly understand your commentary about this problem..so, if it’s ok to you to answer this questions again….

would you please e-mail your answer in my e-mail address..(maryroselor@yahoo.com)i will wait this until tomorrow…. thank you….

itry nyong magdeal with REAL red tape, and youll be able to track down the real problems that need addressing in this country.

kahit road discipline palang e? lack of proper road signages (bec theyre so tiny and theyre placed exactly where the roads split)? from politico down to MMDA/police, kurakot kase. May pera ang gobyerno, may budget gumawa ng tamang size na signage, kaso ninanakaw ng mga tagaDPWH.

mag change man ng heads of govt ang bagong presidente, sana matrack down nila kung sino yung mga kurakot sa loob. (basically what @mario salanga said in #6)

Marami pang ibang problema na kailangan itackle & the first one among my choices who fearlessly addresses these problems will get my vote.

I’m an apolitical person, but I am terribly disturbed by three ingenuous spins by the Noynoy Aquino campaign about the incident in August 28, 1987 when he was shot by rebel soldiers:

(1) “He put his life on the line to protect his mother from military rebels that penetrated
Malacanang’s security.”
(2) “He got shot in the neck protecting democracy.”
(3) “Noynoy saved the nation that day.”

In support of his presidential bid, Noynoy Aquino has posted these blatant fabrications on his official website and is allowing his supporters to circulate it on the web. What does that say about his self-proclaimed incapability to lie?

What’s the truth about that shooting?

Here’s part of the report of that incident by Seth Mydans for The New York Times on August 30, 1987, headlined “Aquino’s Son Says Rebels Opened Fire as He Spoke”:

“Today, his left arm in a sling and his neck bandaged, Mr. Aquino told of pleading for his life as a soldier decided whether to shoot him again.

“Mr. Aquino said he had gone out late to ‘attend to a personal problem’ across town, accompanied by bodyguards in his own and a second car.

“He said he had discounted rumors of a military attack, thinking they might be another ‘zarzuela,’ or comedy, like previous coup threats. But when word came that firing had begun, he rushed home because ‘my instict [sic] was to help my family.’

“Shielded by Bodyguard

“When the soldiers opened fire on his car, he said, a bodyguard on the seat beside him, Joseph Galleta, ‘managed to pull me down and shielded me with his body.’

“In a second burst of fire, he said, Mr. Galleta was seriously wounded and thrown from the car.

“‘I believe the rebels wanted to be sure we were killed,’ Mr. Aquino said. ‘Someone approached me and wanted to use his M-16. I pleaded with him and tried to reason it out with him and everything and he hestitated [sic].’

“As the soldier hesitated, Mr. Aquino said, he prayed. ‘I was doing my act of contrition and all that. I was asking for more time because I didn’t want to die like that.’”

Need anything more be said?

If one would listen to criticisms against Cory, one would think that she has not done a lot of good after ousting the Marcoses.

Yeah, people have short memories… short memories for the good things done.
