Senile Ramos on impeachment and poverty: No akin to iyayagel si Corona?

Mangkabaw lay Fidel Ramos. Say kuanto say impeachment ag to risolbaen so kairapan. Siopa kasi angibaga ed sikato ya sayay impeachment et makarisolba na kairapan daray totoo?

Akin ibaga to ya? Antoy panlalapuay kanonotan to?

Labay to kasi ya itonda la yan impeachment lapud sayay inanak ton si Corona?

Akin aanaken to si Corona?

Lapud si Corona et nantrabaho bilang Assistant Executive Secretary for Legal Affairs tan pangolo na Malacañang Legal Office nen 1992. Nen 1994, nanmaliw sikaton Deputy Executive Secretary tan Chief Presidential Legal Counsel. Si Ramos so angiter na Philippine Legion of Honor medal, with the rank of officer ed si Corona nen 1998.

Andukey sirin ya taon so pinankaiba da Ramos tan si Corona.

Natan say koniksion nen Ramos tan GMA ed si Corona et malinlinew.

Nen 1998, si Corona so chief of staff tan spokesperson nen Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Nen nanmaliw ya pangolo si GMA, si Corona so apilin Presidential Chief of Staff.

Inyagel nen Ramos si GMA nen dakel lay totoon manggabay ya naikal sikato.

Sakbay ya, say inap ko dakel so amta nen Corona nipaakar ed powergrab ya ginawa da laban ed si Erap. Wala kasi betang nen Ramos ed sayan agawa ya pinangoloan na sakey ya Angelo Reyes a nantaynan ed si Erap ta pian onbaliktad so militar?

Wala kasi ran kaso nen Ramos ya say nanbenben et si Corona?

Ramos, after his presidency, is still maneuvering behind the scenes when he should retire. He brags on his presidency as one of the best, if not the best, which is, of course, a lie. He is trying to rehabilitate his image as one of the notorious martial law henchmen of the dictator Marcos to a statesman who had transformed the nation, which is nothing but a myth.

Whatever the legacy of corruption that GMA had bequeathed to the nation, Ramos had a hand on it since he allowed himself to keep silent. In any case, how can he rant against GMA when he and his loyal generals were instrumental in putting that bitch in Malacanang and were beneficiaries of her rule?

Satan so rason no akin to iyayagel si Corona.

Judicial privilege as an excuse to hide and perpetuate corruption

Anto yay judicial privilege?

Aya kono may kanepegan daray okom ya ag ibaga so antokaman ya apantongtongan da ed saray tutol odino disisyon ya asabi da.

Kapara to ya imay executive privilege ya inrason daray totoo nen Arroyo nen ririkisaen dara nipaakar ed ZTE-NBN deal.

Sayan pribilihiyo et anggapo no ag sakey labat ya paraan ta pian naiyamot so tua.

In short, this judicial, including executive, privilege, is a legal ruse to hide the truth from the people. It is a convenient excuse for corrupt politicians and officials so that whatever criminal intent that is present and evident in their actuation and activities is safe within this mechanism and free from legal vexations and prosecution.

Say akanonot ed saya et nayarin so akanonot ed samay executive privilege. Et say presidential legal adviser nen GMA nen saman et chief justice la na Korti Suprima natan.

No awaten da yan kanonotan na Korti Suprima na Sinado, singa iitdan na Sinado na ketegan so pananap na katuaan ya mairap ya nagawa no wala irayan pribilihiyo.

This judicial privilege must be assailed and thrown out as it only puts obstacle to the search for truth and justice. It only gives the corrupt another legal way to evade transparency and accountability. The right of the people to know is fundamental in the constitution.

How the Catholic Church keeps its influence and how do we minimize it?

Say rason no akin singa maksil ni so Simbaan ya Katoliko ya sarasarag dan manimpluwensiya et lapud iitday baleg ya papil daray palapagan odino mass media.

No walay ibaga na CBCP, saya et iyan ed headline daray palapagan odino pansalitaen dara ed tilibision tan radio.

Odino no walay baleg ya isyu ya aga met kaokolan so kanonotan da, iray pumapalapag interbyuen dara. Singa ayay si Archbishop Oscar Cruz ya mimibiang ed amin ya nagagawad gobierno ya nagawa ton i-politicize saray ondedengel odino manbabasa ed sikato. Sigi met sikaton manpainterbyu; iray pumapalapag met sigi met so panginterbyu da ed sikato.

Say mass media sirin so sakey ya panggagapuan na baleg ya impluwensiya na simbaan.

Why dignify their opinions and statements and even place the news about them in the headlines? Are we a Catholic state that everything they say deserve media mileage?

To minimize their influence, marginalize them in mass media avenues. Instead of putting them in the headlines, place them on the second page or elsewhere in the paper where their position could still be known but drowned among other issues of the day.

Politicians we can never trust / Iray politikon ag napanpiaan

1. Juan Ponce Enrile

Iray arum ibaga dan marakep so gagaween tod impeachment trial. I don't buy the idea that he is doing well as impartial presiding officer. He should be impartial as expected of his office and we don't need people saying he is behaving well. He should behave well because he should. But with the present turn of events, is he really fair and impartial?

Balet ag nayarin napanpiaan si Enrile, sakey ed saray totoo nen Marcos ya nanmaniobra na martial law. Apantonda la kari so smuggling ed Aparri?

2. Francisco Tatad

Sakey met ya too nen Marcos. Information minister sikato ya manunaan ya propagandista na New Society. Nanengneng ya miibaiba ed si Binay natan. Mairap so bilay da ed Bikol; natan akinabang met ed gobierno.

3. Ernesto Maceda

Sakey met ya too nen Marcos ya nambenben na Community Development, executive secretary tan Commerce and Industry.

4. Joker Arroyo

Supporter nen GMA, maliwawa ya diad akto to ya iyayagel to si Corona. Abindisyonan kari na takew nen Arroyo?

5. Miriam Defensor-Santiago

Asingger ed si GMA nen administrasyon to. Diad saray akto natan ed impeachment, nabista ya isasakit toy Corona. Manbabayar kasi na otang na linawa ed si Corona lapud analo ed ICC? Nen panaon nen Marcos, sikato et special assistant to the secretary of justice tan dakel ni ran posisyon sakbay ya nanmaliw ya regional trial court judge.

6. Gregorio Honasan

Protege nen Enrile, sakey ed saray angiyulo na kudita laban ed si Cory. Kaokolan ya bantayan ompano mangiter na moral ya suporta ed saray manpaplanon mankudita ed si Pnoy.

7. Bongbong Marcos

Of course, he is the son of the dictator who looted the nation, and whose legacy of corruption continues to infect Philippine body politic and define present political alignments. The Filipino people must resolve not to put another Marcos in Malacanang because the Marcoses would intend to recover all the illegally acquired monies since at present they are not in a position to do so.

Why we, Filipinos, must remain vigilant?

Natan ya naikolong si GMA tan si Corona et ririkisaen dad Sinado, sayan grupo ya papanguloan nen Mike Arroyo et usaren dan amin so walad kayaryan da ta pian ag natoloy so panrikisa na gobierno ed sikara.

Akatakew iray baleg. Dakel so ginawgawa dan pikewet ya ag da amtan kasumpal ya 2010 nitan lay totoon mansingil ed sikara.

Siopa irayan totoo ya nayarin manpaparaan ya manggulo?

Unaan la dia say pamilya nen Arroyo.

Mikadua dia iray aliporis nen Arroyo ya naitdan ya tolong nen panaun nen GMA. Nabasa iray sulsulat da ed diaryo ya sikara so mangitandoro ed saray ginawgawa konon marakep nen GMA.

Iray negosianti tan politiko ya akinabang ed saray iligal ya kagagawa, i.e. smuggling, bribery, droga etc.

Iray miembro na militar ya akinabang ed grasya ya inter nen Arroyo.

Iray miembro na Simbaan ya Katoliko ya abindisyonan na kwarta nen oley nen GMA, iray onkokontra ed RH bill, iray obispo ya asingger ed si GMA. Ipila dia so Iglesia ni Cristo ya isasakit da si Gatdula ya inikal dad NBI lapud kidnapping charges tan si Corona ya so abogago to et si INC member Serafin Cuevas.

No labay dan aleen so oley nen Pnoy, kaokolan ya bantayan so galaw nen Binay ta ompano naolit may agawa nen inikal day Erap.

Sakey nen bantayan ya pwirsa iray pamilya ya Marcos ya onpoposisyon la ra lapud akairong si Bongbong ya sasamiten dan onirong ed Malacanang.

But we must also be very cautious with the Aquino administration because it is the one in power.

Kaokolan ya bantayan si Pnoy tan iray opisiales ta ompano sikara met so onsublay ya mantakew ed kwarta na baley.

In other words, we must not get blindsided by their attempt to cleanse the government so that we don't allow them to rob us just like what  the Arroyos and their ilk did under our very noses.

It is highly urgent for Pnoy to distribute the Hacienda Luisita to the farmers who had tilled the land with their blood and toil. It is highly immoral for the HLI to appeal it to the SC so that the compensation they get is higher than what is stated in the decision.

Ipapasoot nen Corona ya say rason no akin kinasoan da sikato ed panamegley na impeachment et lapud konod Hacienda Luisita ya sikato so nankorit na disisyon.

Pian onpatey la yan kanonotan nen Corona, ibonog lan tampol sayan dalin na Hacienda Luisita.

Iraya sirin et mantulak ed sikatayo ya manbantay ed kampo nen GMA tan diad kampo met nen PNoy ta pian agla manbunga so antokaman ya maoges ya ipaparaan da.

Irresponsible Teddy Boy Locsin: Fomenting coup d'etat?

Kasumpal nen Enrile, wadiay Teddy Boy Locsin, say akanggawa na Philippines Free Press, ya mansusugirin mibabali so militar no singa somlangen na Sinado so TRO na Korti Suprima.

Say kuanto: "SC can set them (the senators) right and simply rule against them, and leave it at that. They can ignore the SC…. then let the Army decide.”

Sikato et datin spokesman tan speechwriter nen Cory. Walay nankominto: "If army will decide then it’s all coming-back scenario for this administration. But this time to the Son. God save us!”

Say ebat nen Locsin: “No, God save the administration, because this time I won’t be around to call in the US fighter jets.”

Nen kukuditaen day Cory nen 1989, sikato kono so tinmawag ed US 13th Air Force ya walad Clark pian nataktakot iray mankukudita.

Agay lay baleg so nengneng tod dili ya sikato so nansalba ed oley nen Cory. Ag to nonoten ya sikaton akibabali so US et walay intiris ton protektaen si Cory.

Diad inkamelag na kanonotan to, ag to nanonotan ya naksawan lay totoo ed sarayan kudita ya nandiral ed ikonomiya na Pilipinas. Ag to kasi ya amta?

Anggano ibagan opinyon to ya, aliwa so kabaliksan to ta singa mansusugiri na scenario ya ag nepeg ya naitayak ed twitter tan diad Philippine Star.

Tan sesebelan na konstitusyon ya mibabali so militar ed nagagawa ed gobierno. Alingwanan to la kasi ya? Kapara to la kasi si Enrile ya mankabaw? Gabay to kasi ya miparad sakey ya banana republic so Pilipinas?

There's freedom of expression as enshrined in the bill of rights of the constitution but it is not right and moral to insinuate to the army something that it is not allowed in the charter to begin with.

At this hour, the Philippines cannot afford a politicized and destabilized environment being fomented by the enemies of the people, i.e. GMA, Corona and their ilk. The armed forces should stand behind the government in securing all efforts that are directed to recover ill-gotten wealth by the Arroyo mafia and toward their criminal prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.

Journalists for sale

Say walad leksab et inkomintok ed sakey ya blog ya ag da inabuloyan ya ipalapag. Abaloan ko ayan too et maka-tua tan onlalaban parad tua odino tugtuwa. Nayarin sikato et asakitan ed saya ta sikato et sakey ed sikaran tatawagen kon mercenary journalist.


This is the scourge of journalism, which is to become a paid hack, a mercenary journalist. Journalists should be truth-seekers, not lie mongers or rumor-makers.

Corona is using mass media to confuse the public. Now an unscrupulous journalist who is on the pay roll of Corona would just report what is said to him/her without getting the side of the accused or any evidence. Could Ninez rely only on a rumor passed onto her by a single "impeachable" source? Elementary, my dear Watson.

I know that this type of journalism is practiced not only in Manila but also in the provinces. Journalists of this kind are chided as PR men of politician so-and-so. In Manila, these media outlets become propaganda machinery spewing pure disinformation, outright lies, and malicious rumors for the pecuniary benefit of the publisher and the writer and for the satisfaction of spindoctor/s who is/are usually a politician/s with vested interests to protect.

It seems to me that being a truth-seeking journalist is very rare here in the Philippines. Their species is nearing extinction to say the least!

Corona, say panggapuan na constitutional crisis

Dispirado lay Corona.

Iyagel toy betang to tan protektaan toy amo ton GMA at all costs.

Natan ya nanpitisyon ira ed Korti Suprima, sikato so panggapuan na constitutional crisis.

Anggapoy baing tod dili to.

Sarayan abugago anggano amta da ya mas atagey so impeachment court ed Korti Suprima et inpasabi da ni so pitisyon dan TRO ed Korti Suprima.

No say Korti Suprima et ag to labay ya nagawa so constitutional crisis, kaokolan ton ipolisay so sayan TRO!

Anggapod dugan kanonotan si Corona.

Corona is an utter disgrace to the Supreme Court and to the whole judiciary. He is the exemplar among crooked members of the bar who had prostituted the law in order to gain wealth and power, some of them criminals in robes and many others attorneys sucking the money of the poor or evading taxes and acquiring ill-gotten assets through fraud and other legal ruses.
