Philippine Political Opinions

tienDA comes from the Filipino word " tinda " and DA or Department of Agriculture. tienDA started last year in malls  and last September 21, 2018 it was in  Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) compound in Malate, Metro Manila . So, you'll ask, what is the claim of " WIN-WIN "?

i guess everybody heard about the Battle in Marawi City last May 23, 2017 around 2:00PM which started when the government forces tried to arrest Isnilon Hapilon, the leader of Abu Sayyaf (an ISIS-inspired terror group) which was reportedly in Marawi City. We can also recall that on June 6, 2017 at the checkpoint in Sirawan, Toril, Davao City, the patriatch of the Maute family, Cayamora Maute, on board a Toyota Grandia van, was apprehended . 3 days later, June 9, 2017 in Masiu, Lanao del Sur, Ominta Romato Maute aka "Farhana"  was arrested . The two apprehended person are the parents of the infamous Maute Brothers - Omar and Abdullah, who pledged their allegiance to ISIS.

It was exactly 6 months after i've posted an article here in my blog. It was in these months that a lot of things i had experienced and i currently experiencing right now that is surely taking up my time. But in those times i revisited my ideals, my principles, how the way i convey the thoughts or formally the political opinions to you dear readers and hopefully to the rest of the world. Let me be so clear, THAT I'M NOT A

“Wala pong Davao Death Squad, your honor. Media hype lang ‘yan. [There is no Davao Death Squad, your honor. That’s only media hype.]”  SPO3 Arthur Lascañas told Senator Leila De Lima  testified against Edgar Matobato . He also answered witfully to Senator Antonio Triallanes IV saying that having a watch is not a test of credibility.

Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte or is popularly known today as "Digong" is one of the five aspirants to become the next president of the Republic of the Philippines. Last time, before the debate, he was hit by the  rape joke but did apologize to it.  Was waiting for the other remaining candidates to hit him very hard on the debate and will destroy him on the debate pertaining to that issue. But they didn't. Now, after the rape joke, there is another scandal or (supporters might say) a propaganda. Senator Triallenes, in an "expose" bares Duterte's undeclared bank account . Roxas also  challenged Digong about it.

i remember that i made a blog of  an  official tandem of Noy-Mar  in the 2010. We all knew that tandems are not the sweetheart's love story that are like  Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza (Yaya Dub) or fondly called #aldub 's  (for now, they are still very sweet) that results to happy endings. Mar lost to Binay in the race of becoming a Vice President. but he was given a couple of Cabinet positions.

" Last October, OFWs sent home cash worth $2.23 billion—the second highest monthly amount on record, exceeded only by the $2.32 billion remitted in December 2014. From January to October, cash remittances totaled $20.64 billion, up 3.7 percent from $19.91 billion a year ago. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas expects remittances to increase to $25.6 billion this year from $24.35 billion in 2014." -  Inquirer Opinions This made me rethink, those  people involved with "Tanim-Bala"  are heartless.

I decided to make the title short because I honestly don't know how to  make a title fitting for the presidential candidate, we all know as Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte or some calls him Digong... Remember my last post? A contributor told me Digong will  surely run . Eventhough he's not right about the tandem of Duterte-Marcos, Marcos ran for VP and Duterte for President.

Filipinos around the world specially those who knew FPJ can surely spot where i borrowed the title from. Well, now is different, Filipinos and even foreigners know this: the "TANIM BALA". i don't know if it's a scam, an extortion, or the alleged people who "brought" with them bullets are really planning to do crimes. Now, here is my OCO (One Centavo Opinion):

What on earth would be #aldub has to do about politics? Honestly, I can't answer yet. maybe it's because #aldub and the hashtag tweet of #aldubEBTamangpPanahon is about 19+ million hits as of this writing, i'm pretty sure that politicians would like to make these two (Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza) as one of their endorsers. i'm hoping that not in the near future, Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza won't run for politics as what some artists do.

Even Mayor Duterte said he is " not running for president ", there is someone who contributed to me with this write up and said that I can post it in this blog. I happily agree.

I remembered I posted a blog sometimes in 2009 , in preparation of 2010 (presedential) elections. I do remember our university was flooded (literally and figuratively) with heavy rains and "heavy" (because they are "big time") politicians. Out of curiosity I sometimes find my self trying to see what those politicians look like in person and I remembered that I was amazed how thin and how good looking they are in person. Even some politicians claimed that they are from poor families, they have really glowing skins.

Jejomar "Jojo" C. Binay Sr., the Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines, made a statement that he will amend the term for local and national officials if he will win the 2016 elections. In his speech given to the crowd in Negros Occidental,  "Itong term na ito, hindi ako naniniwala diyan. Kailangan one to sawa 'yan. Hanggang gusto ng tao. Kaya kung merong amendment sa Constitution, ipapaalis ko ang term limitation hanggang gusto, iboto nang iboto"

i remembered that I posted  a while ago and it seems that Chiz decided not to run in favor of Noynoy with Roxas   as his running mate.

hi! it's been 4 years since I've last posted and I miss posting about opinions regarding the politics in the Philippines. i posted http://politics-opinions.blogspot.com/2011/04/right-against-self-incrimination.html because i was so irritated by their excuses.

Mrs. LIMOT, i mean LAGOT, err, i mean LIGOT uses this one very often that it's like a period to her every statement... I don't want to expound cause you can see at the news that she is hiding something (pabaon, i think.ahaha) when she invokes this one. Simple questions need simple answers. As easy as that. It's like i'm asked if i have eaten my breakfast then i'll just answer, "I invoke my right against self incrimination" PORBIDA!

Francis Joseph "Chiz" Guevara Escudero was born on October 10, 1969 in Manila , Philippines , the middle child of the three children of former Agriculture Secretary Salvador "Sonny" H. Escudero III and educator Evelina B. Guevara. His father was elected in 2007 to the House seat vacated by his son. Escudero is married to the former Christine Elizabeth R. Flores who is a singer and stage actress. They have two children, fraternal twins, born September 7, 2007.

I got it from http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20091002-228033/Nograles-to-politicians-helping-Ondoy-victims-Just-help Speaker Prospero Nograles advised politicians to do just this, away from the glare of the media and devoid of publicity gimmicks when they engage in relief efforts for the flood victims of storm Ondoy (international codename: Ketsana).

Even if Sen. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson dropped some bomb against resident Joseph "Erap" Estrada . The former president will still run for the presidency this incoming 2010. "For me, the prohibition (in running again) only applies to the incumbent President because of the undue advantage. (For example) She could use the fertilizer fund, the road user's tax and other government funds (in the campaign)," Estrada said in his usual slurred speech.
