Whoever said Gilberto "Gibo" Teodoro will not make it in the 2010 polls must pray hard that the elections do not favor him.
Just today, I happened to see Smartmatic conducting an educational-demonstration at the Shangrila with KBP members, PPCRV, and Comelec officials as members. Smartmatic informed the participants in the demonstration how the automated system would work in the 2010 polls. Afterwhich, a mock election was conducted to test it.
The boxes containing age demographics was used as reference for Chiz Escudero, Loren Legarda, Noynoy Aquino, Gilberto Teodoro, Manny Villar, and Erap Estrada. After the mock elections the results were revealed by PPCRV Chair Henrietta De Villa as follows, Teodoro got 8, Villar, Erap, Noynoy and Chiz got 3 votes each, and Loren got zero.
What is the implication of this? Although Gibo Teodoro is allied with Gloria, he is not as bad as she is projected in the sense that he is a possible savior of this country. With the KBP members as the mock voters, it means that sensible people will know that Gibo is a good candidate and will possibly deliver once elected as president.
We need change, but we do not need drastic changes which might just imperil our progress. GMA may be unpopular, she may be hated, but she has started out projects to cover every minute aspect of every single problem in this country. From education to agriculture to corruption even to climate change. If we hate Gloria's policies that should not mean we should hate the fact that she is working. Even if we think her policies are ineffective at least she initiated the reforms. All that Gibo has to do is to start moving from that foundation put up by GMA.
Gibo para sa pagbabago tayo!

Abnoy for President?
Noynoy Aquino has declared his decision to run for president in the 2010 elections. This was after the prodding that he got from various interest groups and personalities who pushed him to try his luck for the highest position in the national government.
But like what others have already asked, I say this. Is he ready? Is he capable?
Aside from bearing the surname Aquino, aside from being the only son of Ninoy and Cory, what else does Ninoy have to make it to the presidency and to serve the people that his parents both served and loved?
Rumors from the moles in the Senate say that Noynoy does nothing in his Senate office other than play the PLAYSTATION. Yes the Playstation! I do not even know how to use one. But Noynoy, who is around his late 40's is very active in this generation's fad.
Oh well, might be the reason why some look at him to be like an older version of Kris Aquino's eldest child Josh. Don't they look alike and act alike?
Anyways, there's this group supporting Noynoy called ABNOY or Alyansa ng mga Boboto para kay Noynoy. I don't know if they intended some sort of ridicule or if it's just plain coincidence.

Linggo ng Wika
Linggo ata ng Wika ngayon. Hindi ko sigurado. Pero nais kong mag-Tagalog ngayong araw na ito at aking pipilitin na mangyari ito. Aking susubukin na pansamantalang hindi gumamit ng wikang Ingles kahit pa ito ang ginagamit sa pang-araw araw na pananalita sa karamihan ng ginagawa.
Maliganyang Linggo ng Wika sa ating lahat.

Paalam Cory
Cory Aquino has been laid to rest today. Even if her family refused the state funeral because of some miscommunication or misunderstanding, the military still gave the former president the honors she deserved.
How amazing it is to see a former president brought to her final resting place by the soldiers who worked for her before when she was head-of-state, as well as the younger breed of soldiers who respect the office she once held.
Politics aside, Cory was indeed instrumental in bringing back the freedom we have now. May she totally rest in peace.
:)

Ano daw?!
Narining niyo na ba ang Dagtang Lason? Hahahaha, nakakatawa ang pangalan diba? Pero may ganyang grupo ngayon ng mga kabataan na ang musika ay free-style rap.
May ganitong lyrics ang kanta nilang sikat na sikat sa mga harabas na jeep sa Cubao:
(Nagmamahal ako ng bakla)
"Mga tambay lang kami sawa sa babae
May mga babaeng manloloko
Pineperahan lang kami
Kaya ngayon bakla na lang ang aming iibigin
Masarap magmahal ang bakla
Ohh kay sarap... damhin"
Ano ba namang kanta yan? Yan ba ang ipaparinig natin sa mga kabataan ngayon? Maayos sanang gumawa ng kanta pero sana yung matino-tino naman. Tsk, tsk.

Padyak, Obama-wannabe, C5 at Taga
Naglabasan na ang mga political ads ng mga iba't-ibang pulitiko. Nandiyan si Mar Roxas, Manny Villar, Loren Legarda, Jojo Binay at iba pa. Ang layo pa ng eleksiyon pero nangunguna na sila. Ang layo pa rin ng eleksiyon pero mistulang sumusuway na sila batas laban as pre-mature campaigning. Sa bagay hindi nga naman applicable ang batas na iyon sa pre-mature campaigning dahil hindi pa naman election period.
Isa-isahin natin sila. Yung mga madalas ko lamang nakikita sa telebisyon.
1. Mar Roxas
Itong si Mang Mar a.k.a. Mr. Palengke ay hindi na mawawala sa pang-araw araw nating panonood. Nakita niyo ba yung padyak commercial niya? Nakakaloka diba? Maniwala kang sumasakay ng padyak yan o kaya pumupunta sa palengke. Oo may-ari siya ng palengke pero hindi yun pumupunta dun. Ginagamit niya lang yung lugar paminsan minsan.
Malinaw naman na gusto lang ni Mar mapalapit sa mga masa o sa mahihirap. Hindi ba nagmura pa nga iyan noong nakaraang rally sa Makati?
2. Jojo Binay
"Ganito kami sa Makati." Yan ang tag-line niya sa commercial niya. Ang labong tao rin nito ni Binay eh ano? Hindi naman kaya kagaya ng Makati ang buong Pilipinas. Hindi masasabing kaya niyang paunlarin ang buong Pilipinas kagaya ng Makati. Erap boy tong si Jojo na ambisyosong kagaya daw siya ni Obama. Mahiya naman siya noh!
3. Manny Villar
Ah, si Mr. C5 at taga. Hahaha!!! Isa pa to, yung bahay daw nila sa Tondo nakatayo pa ngayon. Hahay. Squatters area kaya yun, kaya matagal nang na-demolish. Wala ako masabi. Andami niya pera ha. Tama na alam na natin lahat ng panloloko nito. Tsk tsk.
Oh yan na muna ang masasabi ko ngayon. Antok na ako. Grabe, araw-araw sa TV yang mga yan. Common denominator nila eh taga opposition sila.

Oh no Nicole!
Nicole took back her statements against Daniel Smith.
It was expected to happen! My golly if she were telling the truth she would have stood by her testimony until the end of her battle for justice - that is, if she really wanted justice.
What else can I say? Her recantation says so much about her, about her real motive, and about what really happened.
Although her recantation won't affect the judgment, it will affect the image of the Filipinas who were put to shame by this recent development. How can a woman be not sure of what really happened to her only after six or so years? Well anyway, the question of rape is within the courts to decide and finally make an affirmation or reversal of the conviction.
The implications of this happening may grow bigger in the coming days. It's not only about the VFA or the US-RP relations. The government and other groups will protect the welfare of its people but when an abuse is later claimed to be not true then that is humiliating!! Nevertheless, the government will of course stand by its people no matter what. Let's now see how the leftist groups react on this issue. Nicole was used literally and figuratively.
