CHIZ ESCUDERO BOLTED NPC

Yesterday, Chiz Escudero bolted his potical party for 11 years , the NPC. His move was deemed as political suicide in terms of his ambition to become the President of the Philippines. We have to admit that to become a President you need a political machinery that will carry your message down to the lowest level of the government.

On the other hand, it might be good for him since, he advocated against graft and corruption in the government. He aligned himself with the opposition eventhough his own party are aligned with the current corrupt government. With Danding Conjuangco as the Chairman Emeritus of NPC, he will not be able to fully convey his messages against Graft and Corruption since Danding for all we know had been involved with the corrupt government of Marcos.

What's next for him? Although I really want him to run as President it is almost impossible for him to do so without a party and without MONEY. He needs at least 1-2 billion pesos to mount a credible campaign. The most viable option for him is to run for vice-President either with Manny Villar or Gilbert Teodoro. But that will also will run contrary to what he said in the past that he can't run with Villar become of the controversy Villar is involved with (C-5 controversy). With Teodoro it is very highly unlikely that he will associate with the current administration that he opposed since he was a congressman. I have a feeling that he might run with either Richard Gordon or Bayani Fernando. If I have to chose I might go with Richard Gordon since he has a good track record.

Reality-wise he might just finish his term as a senator and run in the next Presidential election. Abangan ang susunod na kabanata!!!

Whatever you decide chiz, me and my family will always support you!!!

BAAO NEEDS A LEADER..........BADLY....

Since the election of the current Mayor Jun Bongcayao, Baao again got stuck in the mud. There was no progress at all that can be seen and talked about. The Mayor had always been criticized for his non-performance especially during the time of calamities.

I wish the former Mayor Mel I. Gaite will run for Mayor again but it seems he already lost the urge to lead Baao again. He seems to be contented in running his family business and spend most of his time with his family. Good for him. Hopefully he will change his mind.

If indeed the former mayor does not run, Baao desperately need a new leader. New means new and that does not mean Mayor Bongcayao's son. We need a new face in Baao politics.

ERAP FOR PRESIDENT.............WHAT THE HELL!!!

If you happened to watch Erap "Jose Velarde" Estrada's supposedly Proclamation rally last night, I'm sure you felt dumbfounded. Why in the world a convicted plunderer be allowed to run in the presidential election. Several provisions of the constitution were clearly violated by his pronouncement of running for re-election(?), but that's a different subject that the Supreme Court has to tackle.

During his speech he railed against her plunderer successor Gloria Arroyo who he rightly accused of also being corrupt and ineffecient leader. Tama talaga ang kasabihang "ang magnanakaw galit sa kapwa magnanakaw." He sweared that he never stole any single centavo from the peoples money!!!!...Common, now he was clearly attempting to deceive the public again!!!...You are a convicted criminal that got lucky because of the presidential pardon extended by Arroyo!!! Napaka-walanghiya talaga and ang kapal ng mukha ni Erap!!! Nakakasuka ang mga sinabi niya sa speech!!!!

Anyway, if ever he does not win his case with the Supreme Court, I know he will align with somebody else to gain poltical clout. But if ever the Supreme Court allows him to run then it will be up to US the voters to decide if we want him back....God Bless US or maybe God Save Us if he wins.....

THANK YOU AMERICA.......FROM BAYAN, BAYAN MUNA, GABRIELA.....ETC...

I can't help to wonder when are the militant leftist groups in the Philippines will ever utter those words,....Thank You America. Everytime I see them, they are lambasting the U.S and their soldiers. Sometimes I agree with them but sometimes I don't. You see it is our right to be patriotic and nationalistic but sometimes we also have to be practical.

For such a long time, Americans are always on our side even when they left after their military bases were closed. Thousands of American blood spilled for the sake of our country. Billions of dollars were provided to us . But I am not asking the militants to say thank you for this. Not at all.

All I want is the militants to acknowledge the help Americans provide during the time of need. They are always the first one on our side whenever a tragedy or calamity befell in our country. True friends are found in the time of dire needs. How come the militants only focuses on the negative side but never metion the positive things that they've done. Is it hard to say "Thank you, Uncle Sam for your help".

ENOUGH JOEY DE LEON!!!

I'm not taking sides in still on-going feud between Joey De Leon and Willie Revillame. Actually I think Joey is the only one who had been making provocative statements which are pointed to Willie.

I think Joey is very jealous of Willie because of his immense fame and wealth which he earned from his show Wowoweee. Aminin Joey, selos ka kay Willie!!!....I do admit though, I like eat Bulaga than Wowowee....I like Kahit Sino Pwede and Pinoy Henyo.....

I was a little ticked off when I watched Joey de Leon make a swipe at Willie and ABS- CBN during the flooding in Metro Manila.

He castigated Willie (although not saying Willie's name), for mentioning the amount of money he is donating. Well, you know all donations are optional....Optional kung gusto mong ma-mention ang name mo o hindi. At the same time optional din kung dapat sabihin kung ano ang idi-nonate mo...As long as bukal sa loob yung pag-donate mo, dapat hwag na nating bigyan ng malisya. Kasi I'm sure whatever amount of money someones donates, eh hard earned yun.

Kaya pareng Joey, huwag ka ng masyadong seloso kasi you are being typical of SOME Filipinos. Kung sinong umaangat, Pinoy din ang pilit humahatak pababa, dahil sa selos!!!!

Philippine Congress are full of stupid , corrupt traditional politicians.

I just finished reading from the Philippines Star about the move of some Congressman esp. Congressman Victor Ortega to revive CHA_CHA eventhough the country is trying to recover from the wrath of Ondoy and Pepeng. They plan to spend 2 Billion Pesos for the Cha-Cha next year. Are they stupid or not? They are idiots!!!imbeciles!!!!

Why can't they pool their resources and try to help the whole nation recover from the tragedy. The money that they want to spend can be spent wisely by helping each cities and provinces affected by the typhoon. If they can contribute P3 million pesos each from their pork barrels that will add up to at least P750 million pesos of immediate money to rehabilitate the roads and bridges that needed repair.

But as one of the most corrupt branch of government, Congress is too stupid to even attempt to clear their image by doing the right thing. All that matter is they can cling to their positions so they can get their SOP's. Shame, Shame on your Mr. Congressmen. I wish they typhoon swept the Congress while they are in session and ONLY those deserving to live survived!!!

CHIZ ESCUDERO FOR PRESIDENT

After months of indecision on who to vote for in the 2010 presidential elections I finally come into conclusion that I have to support Chiz Escudero. It is not because he is a fellow Bicolano but because I think he is intellectually, morally capable of being the president of our great country. It was a hard choice for me because Chiz Escudero and Noynoy are my choice. However, I come to realize that Noynoy is only running basing on the popularity of his late mom. Noynoy hasn't done done much in the congress and in the Senate so why make him a President when we have somebody who excelled in both houses, in the person of Chiz.

So I am hoping that younger generation and all fellow Bicolanos to vote as one . Let's all vote for Chiz Escudero for President.

CHIZ ESCUDERO VS. NOYNOY AQUINO FOR PRESIDENT

With the current crop of politicians gunning for the 2010 presidential election, only chiz escudero and noynoy aquino are the most capable of getting my precious one vote.

One of the criteria that I look for in a presidential candidates is honesty, integrity, capability and of course should not be a traditional politician (TRAPO).

Erap is a TRAPO and does not have any integrity, honesty and capability to be a president so he is automatically out.

Senator Villar has the capability to become a President with his political experience as the former Speaker of the House and Senate President. He also have a massive wealth that can finance his candidacy. But I do think that, that he does have culpability in the C-5 road mess. In my opinion, he did used his position for personal gain. In his case, because of the C-5 road mess, his privately owned land value skyrocketed, and that to me is an indirect corruption. But that is only my own opinion. The mess forever tainted his political career.

Bayani Fernando- I salute him for having the political will to do what is best for the country. He is doing a great job as a MMDA chairman. However, I think he will be great if he stays as MMDA chairman than running for Presidency. I don't think he has enough Intelligence to be a president. I was so frustrated and embarassed when I saw him in the tv trying to answer a question during the LAKAS-KAMPI convention.

Richard Gordon- also can be a great president. He possess almost everything needed to be a Presiden except winnability. He doesn't have the money and the political machinery to mount a nationwide campaign for presidency. So I don't want to waste my only vote for him.

Gibo Teodoro- he is the political protegee of GMA. If he succeeds he will do his best to protect GMA and his abusive family. So why vote for him.

NoyNoy Aquino- Has integrity, honesty and capability. We all know that the Aquino family wasn't involved in any controversy involving graft and corruption during Pres. Cory's tenure as the President of the Nation. Unlike the succeeding Presidents, the Aquino siblings except for Kris Aquino stayed out of the limelight and stayed out of transacting business with the government. The only stain in their name is the Hacienda Luisita mess. As a President they should had been the model on how the Genuine Agrarian Reform Program was implemented, by giving part of their land to eligible tenants. Lives had been lost because of the mess.

Chiz Escudero- Also has all the qualities of being a good president. He is very fluent , articulate and knowledgeable. I believe Philippines will be better off with him as the President besides, being a Bicolano, I have to vote for him ....

BEST BBQ PORK RIBS EVER....

I tried several ways of Barbeque-ing, pork ribs before but this is the one recipe that got some good reviews from my biased customers (family and friends).

1) wash pork ribs
2) pat dry with paper towel
3) apply a little olive oil (using paper towel soaked olive oil)
4)dry rub pork ribs with your favorite seasonings....mine is Pappy's barbeque seasoning
5)cover dry rubbed pork ribs with golden brown sugar (liberal amount) to trap the moisture and aroma from dry rub
6) set over to 400 degrees
7) place pork ribs in flat tray fror broiling.
8) add at least 3/4 cup of water in the tray and cover with aluminum foil
9) broil for at least 1 1/2 hours
10 bring out from oven then barbeque for 10 minutes for charred look and taste
11) baste with your favorite barbeque sauce
12) pork rib should be really soft and tender and tasty.

SHAME ON YOU SPEAKER NOGRALES!!!!!

A couple of days ago a congressman came up with a noble idea of asking each of the more that 200 congressmen to donate P1 million pesos each out of their pork barrel. That proposal was quickly shot down by no less than the Speaker of the House Nograles.

Why? Maybe because they will be using their pork barrel for the next election!!!!....Don't they realize that a lot of people badly needs help and that P200 million from the congressmans pork barrel will be a very big help.

Talagang mga ganid, sakim, tanga at kurakot ang karamihan sa mga congressman natin!!!!! Mga trapo!!!! We should make sure na alisin na natin ang mga trapo sa gobyerno saka mga balimbing!!!! tulad ni Enrile at Santiago. hehehe....Senator santiago is actually a bright senator kaya lang para siyang si Einstein na may tupak....hehehe...we don't need her in the government unless we want to watch a circus in the senate. But I do admit that I enjoy watching her throw a tantrum and exhibit signs and symptoms of her Bipolar disorder...hehehe
