2 Zambales special poll bets warned on posters

2 Zambales special poll bets warned on posters

How about vote buying which is more grievous than oversize posters?

Will the COMELEC implement the pertinent law?

Vote buying is a much more grievous electoral offense which has made a mockery out of our electoral processes and the COMELEC can show its resolve and sincerity to make amends for its lapses in the past. Does it have the will to declare failure of elections if there is massive vote buying? Or does it have the resolve to warn at least the candidates and their supporters not to resort to vote buying and vote selling lest they be punished and the elections be declared a failure?

If the answer is a big NO, then we have the same banana. May we hear from Chairman Sixto Brillantes of the new COMELEC?

Allegations baseless, malicious, says Megaworld -. IS IT???

Allegations baseless, malicious, says Megaworld

Megaworld selling a defective unit and to the Chief Justice at that and in the process damage their business name after building its reputation for some time????

WILL THE CUSTOMERS OF MEGAWORLD LOOK FOR THESE DICOUNTED UNITS IN SUBSEQUENT PROJECTS OF MEGAWORLD??

If the statement of their manager is true, the top management should have fired long ago its marketing manager for having committed such a grave business blunder! But the top management of Megaworld did not!!

Five million pesos to ten million pesos savings, is the amount enough reason to destroy their good name which for sure is worth billions of pesos???

If the discount due to a defective unit which is one of the most expensive in the building is not the motive in granting the discount as it is unthinkable for such a giant business outfit to commit such a blunder with its top notch managers, what is then was their real motive?

Here are the transcripts of the interviews of Cuevas by PDI - THE FIRST INTERVIEW AND THE DENIAL BY CUEVAS

Cuevas denies Inquirer story but transcript says otherwise


CLICK THE HEADING ABOVE.


Listen and read Friends.

No need to argue. Unless of course kung fake ang boses ni Cuevas sa unang interview niya. Pero fake din ba ang boses ng interviewer na taga Radyo Inquirer? Pinagkaila pa ni Cuevas ang interview at ang laman nito!

Importante talaga ang katotohanan. Yan ang gusto ng taong bayan na lumabas sa impeachment trial.

Hindi ito pwedeng taguin!!

WHO IS TELLING THE TRUTH??? Cuevas denies Inquirer story but transcript says otherwise.

Cuevas denies Inquirer story but transcript says otherwise

Statements of somebody given to the media is admissible in court as evidence. Mabigat talaga ang sasabihin ng media especially if it is backed up with transcript or video and/or audio recording.

Panindigan na ni Cuevas ang sinabi niya lalo na kung totoo ito kasi unfair itong ginawa na ito sa kanya. Pag natalo si Corona, pag isipan pa ng masama si Cuevas na nilaglag niya ang kanyang kliyente. 


Pero bakit humihingi ng tawad si Cuevas sa Malacanang eh wala naman siyang kasalanan?

Unlike the judge hearing the case of Abalos however, Malacanang can not charge Cuevas for contempt because it does not have the power to do it. The group of Cuevas and he himself I think will be the one to evaluate this sad incident. Either the Inquirer is lying or Cuevas.

The records will bear the truth and the liar should be exposed!!!

Palace pressuring me to quit–Cuevas

Palace pressuring me to quit–Cuevas

PNoy pressuring Cuevas who belongs to a very influential group? I think it is the other way around, Cuevas was hired by the defense in order to persuade the Senator Judges to go slow because he belongs to the influential group as all the senators are politicians and if they are on their last term, their other families are also politicians.

I still put my trust on PNoy over any politician or a lawyer no matter how brilliant they may be. Si Pnoy kinakatalo na niya ang lahat ng tiwali regardless of political color, religion of all hues and inclinations.

Pinupusta na niya ang lahat pati nga si Erap ay humahanga! Di ko kandidato si PNoy but he is doing great for our country without even fear for his life and safety!

I DIFFERENTIATED INDIVIDUAL OPINION TO PUBLIC OPINION TO A GOOD FRIEND!!

Friend perhaps that is applicable to individual opinion puedeng magkamali but the public opinion determined in a fairly conducted survey, that is different.

Seguro naman we have observed how the public officials in the U.S and other developed countries give importance to public opinion di ba? They voluntarily resign if the survey figures show that the people do not like the way they do their jobs.

Dito kapit tuko ang mga lingkod bayan thanks to the rule of law and I serve at the pleasure of the President or the Governor or the Mayor..

Ano ang kaibahan ng Pilipino sa Amerikano, mababa tayo na uri ng tao na ang opinion ay di pinapahalagahan? If this is so in some people's mind, colonial mentality therefore is still alive and kicking among some of our people di ba?

The candidates aspiring for the Presidency in the U.S conduct their campaign giving much importance to public opinion. In contrast here in the Philippines, especially among top public officials the rule of law is being overused as an excuse to hold on to their positions even if the people thru their opinions already do not trust and like them.

Parang sa kultura yata ang problema, nakasanayan na ang pakapalan ng what should be sensitive, ang mukha.

KAYA TULOY LAWS ARE NOT BEING IMPLEMENTED BY TOP OFFICIALS LIKE THE SALN LAW!! AND THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF PUBLIC OPINION ANYMORE BUT DEFIANCE OR VIOLATION OF A VERY GOOD LAW!!

IT IS THE FILIPINO PEOPLE WHO WINS OR LOSE AFTER THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL OF CJ CORONA!!

Bravo Professor Johnny! CTALK By Cito Beltran (The Philippine Star) Updated January 27, 2012 12:00 AMComments (30)

With due respect to the writer, I beleive that this impeachment trial is beyond partisan politics. If Corona stays, it means the old Arroyo ways remains based on the fact that Corona was a midnight appointee among the many other charges against him. After his public tirades against PNoy, Roxas and Carpio on his speech at the Supreme Court before the impeachment trial started, is he still the non partisan Chief justice which he should be, at least in form??

NOT ANYMORE!!!

If Corona stays as Chief Justice, it is not PNoy who loses as he is only an instrument of the people, the Filipino people who looks forward to meaningful changes are the ones who lose.

People to senators: Let the truth come out

People to senators: Let the truth come out

Due process is what the pro Corona always invokes.

Due process is not meant to prevent the truth from being known, it should be a means to determine the truth and at the same time respect the rights of the accused or the respondent. But due process to protect the rights of the respondent and in the process hides the truth from the trial, due process in this case is abused and misused.

This simply can not be.

Besides as pointed out by some lawyers, if convicted in this impeachment trial the respondent will not be imprisoned but just removed from office unlike in a criminal case where he may be deprived of liberty. He being one of the few impeachable officers which include among their ranks the President and the Vice President if found to be unfit to continue holding that office will be removed because if he continues to be there he may bring more damage to the whole country.

Is Chief Justice Corona still fit to remain as Chief Justice?

A FRIENDLY EXCHANGE :Is the impeachment trial where the continued employment of the accused is at stake more as a CRIMINAL or ADMINISTRATIVE CASE??

Will the abilities or lack of it on the part of the prosecution or the defense matters that much to the Senator judges in contrast to public opinion? The overall objective of this trial is the truth and anyone perceived to be hiding it will not serve the cause of the official being impeached. The SALN contains figures or numbers describing the assets, liabilities and net worth of the filer. As far as I know 1 plus 1 has remained equals to 2 and no amount of brilliance of a lawyer can make it 3 or 4 even for friendship sake!!!

This is a fact known to the Senators and to the public regardless of their educational background!

    Reynaldo Quijada I am for due process but it should not be used in order to delay the proceedings and prevent the truth from coming out. It is my opinion that public opinion is as important as due process as due process should not only be applied to the respondent but to the complainant as well which in this case are the people of the Philippines Friend.

    Reynaldo Quijada The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Look at our justice system. Some lawyers have mastered it that they can manipulate it adeptly. A case in point is the Ampatuan case because the accused have hired the best lawyers. The pace is so slow due to due process? This is only my opinion, Cuevas is another case. He keeps on making side comments and objections thus delaying the proceedings. Thus my original post above.

  RQ, I am not for the person. I am for the upholding of the law. Of the constitution. Of due process. A PDI article is another opinion and NOT GOSPEL TRUTH. The CONSTITUTION AND THE LAW IS GOSPEL TRUTH TO ME. At walang kinalaman dito ang pagiging isang mambabatas. Ako ay isang hamak na ina na merong dalawang anak. I worry about their future in a govt that DOES NOT FOLLOW DUE PROCESS AND THE LAW. And I do not care what kind of case this is. I only care that in every action, dapat masunod ang batas. BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT CHISMIS AND PUBLIC OPINION TO BE THE ONES TO JAIL ME. Facts and evidences lang po ang dapat MAGPAKULONG SA ISANG TAO. KAHIT SINO KA PA.

  Reynaldo Quijada Si Chief Justice will not be imprisoned if he is convicted by the Impeachment Court. He will just be removed and yes, his retirement benefits will also be forfeited in favor of the government. Out of modesty Friend, I will not detail the times I have put my life at stake for the rights of others and the persecutions and deprivations I and my family have to endure due to my fight for good governance. Sa public service I am just enamored by the rule that public service is a public trust. Thank you for this nice exchange friend.
  

  • Amy Lee THE END DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS. So long as the RULE OF LAW AND DUE PROCESS IS OBSERVED AND FOLLOWED, the outcome should be fair and acceptable. Judging the outcome first before presenting the proper facts and evidences IS NOT democratic and not what you would call DUE PROCESS. I am sorry for your experiences but THE LAW MUST BE FOLLOWED. Hindi pwede dito ang mga MACHIAVELLIAN style. Sa communism lang yun.

    Reynaldo Quijada I have been accused several times as a communist by my trapo political opponents in the past but it is not true. On the contrary I am thru and thru pro democracy. I am also a Catholic and living it to the best I could. Due process should serve the end of justice and not just of the respondent and even of the complainant.

Corona denies anew reports of his resignation ??

http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=771681&publicationSubCategoryId=63

The statement of the defense team that it achieved a breakthrough when the Senate President ruled that the prosecution should drop 2.4 of article 2 on ill gotten wealth is MISLEADING.

After taking up 2.2 and 2.3 of article 2 of the impeachment complaint, if the declared assets of the Chief Justice can not be adequately justified how he was able to acquire them given his declared income, these said assets under the Unexplained Wealth Law are deemed ill gotten. The Chief Justice in this case because of the said law has to prove that these are not ill gotten and therefore not subject to forfeiture in favor of the government plus the corresponding sanctions on him.

In short, the ill gotten case may just develop after the entries in the SALN of the Chief Justice together with the other pertinent documents allowed by the Senate as evidences are evaluated and his wealth is computed not commensurate to his legal income.

IS THIS NOT 2.4 OF ARTICLE 2??

Might this be the consideration why the resignation of the Chief Justice be eminent??

A FRIENDLY EXCHANGE ABOUT LLAMAS AND OTHER IMPORTANT NATIONAL ISSUES

This only shows that buying pirated DVDs is almost normal to Filipinos of all classes. But Llamas can easily reason out that how can he give sound and relevant political pieces of advice to the President if he as the political adviser does not mingle with the crowd most of whom do not view as something wrong patronizing pirated DVDs. Does one get punished for merely glossing over pirated products like DVDs?

    Friend let he explain my comment which make you laugh .Itong issue kay Llamas ay minor ito. Punahin natin si PNoy sa mga malalaking issue kagaya ng COMELEC, ang kakuparan ng Ombudsman at COA lalo na sa mga local government officials at ang kakulangan ng mga reporma sa local level including the local offices of national agencies kagaya ng LTO at DENR, ang mga government owned media outfits na mas gusto pang magpalabas ng basketball kaysa mga pang bayang usapin na ginagawa instead ng mga private media outfits at ang kakuparan ng mga pulis in solving crimes small and big time.Dyan natin punahin si PNoy kung tunay na gusto natin ang pagbabago. Of course I respect contrary opinions.
