Ekal kad tan, Enrile; onekal lan amin iray sinador [Resign, Enrile; resign all the other senators]

Si Juan Ponce Enrile ag to amta so tatawagey balangon na ngaran. No amta to ya abayag lan inmekal ditan ed Sinado. Anggano no ontan, ag ko napukpukan ya ibaga ed sayan masiken ya onekal lad tan.

Anto ya?

Antoy ginawa tan antoy gagaween na Commission on Audit ya inmaboloy ni ra ed sayan pikewet ya pamaakaran?

Bagbagen lay Senado. Abolish the Senate. Deralen lay COA. Demolish COA.

It is corruption in broad day light. They are bickering because of people's money that goes unaccounted for.

And no one will come out clean of it.

Saya so rason ya kaokolan ya mangigapo na balo. This is the reason we must start anew.

Saya et ed panamegley na CONCON, constitutional convention.

Say kuanen Enrile ni ed samay anti-corruption conference ya ag kono nailaloan ya naekal so corruption ed anem ya taon. What can we expect from someone who benefited from corruption in all his years in government?

We can stamp out  corruption in just one year. Everyday put someone in jail, a politician who embezzled government coffers. Start with the Marcoses and Enrile, the senators and congressmen, justices and judges, mayors and councilors down to barangay chairman and councilors and we can see that the following year the country and its people will be at peace, happy that justice and righteousness will reign once more in this benighted land.

Say andi-kakanaan na pilikulan Tagalog [The bankruptcy of Tagalog films]

Nen Disiembri agawa so Metro Manila film festival et sakey lamet ya mangipanengneng na inkalabos ed kanonotan daray pilikulan Tagalog likod ed samay biopic ed bilay nen Aguinaldo tan amay pilikula nen Nora Aunor ya ag ko ni ra abantayan.

I could not see in Tagalog films the necessary spice for an effective plot, the dialogue is so trite so lacking in emotional content that will uplift the human spirit. What you see and get are values promoting lack of civility, awkward manners and acting, disingenuous plot and bombastic and unrealistic sets.

That's the reason I stopped watching Tagalog films. I also got tired of watching Hollywood movies.

Say labay kon nabantayan et pilikulan gawa tayo ya mangipanengneng na ugali na totoo, maung odino mauges, ed sakey ya tongtong odino istoryan makapaintiris.

Alimbawa, nayarin istorya ed bilay na politiko ya masiba ed oley odino poder ya antoy pansabian to ed saman ya kagagawa to.

Iray makapataktakot ya istorya.

Say pilikula kaokolan ya mangipanengneng na riyalidad. If the main character goes home to Pangasinan and talk to his relatives, should he be talking in Tagalog? No, he must speak in Pangasinan. In the same way that a story about a Cebuana teacher must involve her language and culture. The diversity of Philippine culture is muted and silenced in Tagalog movies. In Mendoza's Thy Womb, how relevant was the use of Tagalog among Badjao and Sama-speaking communities in the plot?

I long to see a year-long activity in which one can watch in a weekend in a local cinema films that showcase the diversity and values of Philippine culture. Watching Hollywood should be a thing of the past and the celebration of our creativity in films is mustered to the fullest.

Apalduan abung ed gilig na Pasig: Si Pnoy tan say administrasiyon ton Jekyl tan Hyde

Asingger lan napaer so ilalok ed sayan administrasiyon nen Noynoy.

Saya so dalan ya nantoro ed siak ya aliwan tugtuwa so "maptek ya dalan" nen Pnoy.

Unaan la may agawa ed Luneta ya insakit to si Rico E. Puno anggano sikato so kaokolan ya naikal. Kaibad dia may inpan-irong nen PNoy ed si andiladbilay ya si Jesse Robredo bilang acting secretary na Department of Interior and Local Government.

Why only appoint him first as acting secretary of DILG when he deserves to be the head answerable to all agencies including the PNP?

I've already noticed from very beginning that there was something wrong with this appointment until it became clearer to me what the mainstream media had said about factionalism in Malacanang: the Balay and the Samar blocs.

Why protect Puno to the point of accepting all the blames for the hostage crisis? Puno should have been driven out of DILG long time ago. He must have been a pain in the ass of Robredo. There must be something amiss about PNoy and his administration.

Walay amta to kasi si Puno ya no itilak la nen Pnoy et natatakot ompano ibelyaw to?

Natan say kuanen PNoy iyanapan da la met si Puno na puwisto.

Is he qualified in the first place to be appointed in government? His record is tainted as far as the PNP deal is concerned, so why put him in another agency?

Behind the Jekyl facade of "matuwid na daan" is the ugly Hyde face of cronyism, incompetence, dilly-dallying, factionalism.

And the Trillanes hullabaloo is one of the many signs of schizoid policies. Was Trillanes a strategem foisted by the Samar group led by Paquito Ochoa? Was the diplomatic chore of Roxas a maneuver by the Balay bloc?

It seems so.

With this Jekyl and Hyde character of this administration, it cannot go far with its promises.

There is ambivalence  in PNoy's policies, which in the long run would be very deleterious to Philippine governance and economy.

If Pnoy could not unite his divided house into one cohesive force that would bring the Philippines as the new economic superpower in the region, he would be much worse than GMA.

Pray tell me, what is the alternative?

Trillanes tan Enrile, iray traydor na baley tan say inkamureng nen Pnoy

Akibabali si Trillanes ed kolkolan na Pilipinas tan China ed Scarborough shoal. Inbaki nen Noynoy ya man-backdoor negotiation ed saray Intsik.

Akin ta pinolyanan na prisidenti ya et malinew ya tangawtangaw so manbebenben ed poder na bansa.

I gave Pnoy the benefit of doubt for the first two years so that he can prove himself. The symptom of an incompetent leadership was seen in the Luneta hostage crisis. The aftermath of that crisis, the investigation that ensued, showed clearly now to me how he was bent in protecting Rico E. Puno. More on this in a separate post.

Bagito kuanda. Ed sayan agawa ed sangkailin pibabaley odino foreign affairs ag la mangkelaw ya paelek-elekan so Pilipinas ed arum ya bansa lapud lantid sakey ya mureng ya prisidenti.

Blockhead president. With simpleton as president, what can we expect from him? It seems he is being surrounded by ignoramuses.

Sayay Trillanes met ya anggapoy amta to ed sayan gotgotan, akibabalin singa mamaung.

Say kuanto kono et iray Pilipino anggapod isip da so sayan melmelag ya polok. Ya anggapo konoy pililikna da ed satan ya nagagawan panaggamgam. Satan so sinador ya ag ko inbotos. Sakey ya traydor ed bansa.

Saya et nibelyaw nen Enrile nen nansalita si Trillanes kontrad si Enrile nipaakar ed samay planon palduaen da so Camarines Sur pian nitulak so pilalek na sakey ya ganid ed oley ya si Luis Villafuerte.

Aso kono nen GMA si Enrile kuanen Trillanes. Natan ka ayay masiken lan so nonot tod dili to et anggapoy ari no ag sikato et insalaysay tod man so tongtongan di Trillanes tan saray Intsik ed saray "notes" nen Brady sakbay ya naataki.

State secret ya ya kuan sikaton no walad kanonotan to so baley si Enrile ag to komon ya indalatdat ed midya ed dakel ya totoo. Sakey met ya traydor. Kunsabagay, abayag lan traydor ed baley yan masiken.

How did the notes of Brady come into the hands of Enrile? The connection is Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Indeed, according to Johnny Lin, Brady was appointed by GMA as ambassador to China in 2006. Enrile was very close to GMA as revealed by Trillanes.

Why even appoint a GMA appointee to China in the first place? Why did Noynoy choose her over other career diplomats?

In any case, why did Enrile seem to agree to the partition of Camarines Sur? GMA had interest in the passage of a bill that will divide the province into two. Her son Dato had political stake in the gerrymandering. It was a quid pro quo for what GMA did to Enrile. For example, Port Irene used to be in hot water for smuggling second-hand cars, which got a denial from Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita who said that it was not covered by the Executive Order 156.

As long as Enrile is there as president of the Senate, GMA forces, which include Villafuerte and the old traditional, oligarchical, corrupt politicians, would still have a wall to lean on. That wall must be destroyed as soon as possible.

The more menacing, however, is the divided house inside the walls of Malacanang that is taking a ride on the illusory "daang matuwid", which the Trillanes back-chanelling is one of the symptoms.

Kaokolan lan ikalen si Peping Cojuangco ed POC; ontan met si Richie Garcia na PSC [Get rid of Cojuangco at POC and Richie Garcia at PSC]

Anggad wadtan ya akairong si Peping Cojuangco tan Richie Garcia, anggapoy pansabian na pakasilan no ag diad otit.

Si Peping Cojuangco ya sakey ya trapo et immirong ed POC nen 2005 nen panaon nen Glorian matakew.

Ayay Richie Garcia pinili nen Pnoy ya mamaulo na PSC. Ag ko amta no antoy credentials to ya.

Diad apalabas ya Olympics, malinlinew ya anggapoy ginawa irayan opisiales ed ibulaslas na pakasilan ed Pilipinas.

Say ibabaga nen Cojuangco ya rason no akin makapoy so pinawayan daray atlitan Pilipino ed London et kakulangan kono ya pondo.

It is lack of funds according to Cojuangco but I think bad politics and lack of programs and policies that will ensure the training of athletes are the primary reasons for the lackluster performance.

Now he is said to be gunning for the same position. He must not win. We must ensure that he lose in the selection. Otherwise, quo vadis Philippine sports?

If he will retake the helm of Olympic sports development in the country, I am sure Philippine sports will remain at the same level of unpreparedness, the same neglect toward athletes who are victims of politicking.

How very limited is the idea of Richie Garcia. He is seeking the help of China through a signed memorandum on sports. But he laments that it is not moving and so he wants to get the assistance of Russia. Pathetic. He wants our athletes to train abroad so that he and his cliques could also travel there.

No. We must do it on our own. Self-reliance is the key without discounting assistance from other countries.

First, abolish the POC and the PSC.

Second, a Department of Sports must be created to be headed by a sports science graduate who will oversee the establishment of a Philippine University of Sports, an Olympic village in preparation for the hosting of Olympics in 2024 or 2028 to showcase to the world the coming of age of the country in the arena of world politics and sports.

Third, the vision of the head of this department must be: the Philippines as a world superpower in sports.

Fourth, stop sending Olympic athletes before 2024 or 2028. They must train to beat records and compete in the Olympics to be hosted in the country.

Fifth, there must be a program of scholarships for sports development beginning at a tender age so that qualified recipients can begin training and develop their skills in anticipation of national, regional, international sports meets and the Olympics.

Why are you there in the Senate, Sotto?

Lapud inbotos day totoo ya agangganon  atanggoyor ed maltaw ton ngaran lapu lantid naynay ya nanengneng ed TV.

In the first place, why did he run as senator when he knew that he is not apt for the job? Why did the political party he was affiliated with invite him to run in their banner? It is because he was popular, popular as comedian and as a clown.

Sotto and all the other artistas had no humility in themselves that they run for candidacy to save a flagging career in showbiz. Filipinos suffer because of Sotto's et al. glaring incompetence and lack of  moral scruples.

Can these actors and actresses stop intruding into politics and shy away from running as senators or congressmen? What will they do there? Manbotbot ya irungan kuanda odino banglesen day katay da ta ag ira makapansalita.

Let us bring back meritocracy into Philippine politics, not mediocrity of Sotto, Revilla, Lapid, types.

The remedy that I see is to return the election of senators by district so that the best of the regions, presently unrepresented, misrepresented and underrepresented, will be elected to the Senate. Or better, abolish the Senate by shifting our political system to parliamentary federal form of government.

Of course, Sotto who does not have any delicadeza at all that he ran for the senate wont resign.

Sakey ya tepet ni: siopay aalageyan nen Sotto ya masiadoy pansomlang to ed RH bill? CBCP? Letran?

Philippine-US military defense pact: Anggapoy kakanaan to! (Useless)

Nen katantaon, say US angiter na 24 ex-US Air National Guard F-16 fighter jets ed Indonesia. Kekerewen ya na Pilipinas ed US balet say angiteran to so Indonesia ya anggapo met so defense pact dan dua.

Manggegeget tak ed saya.

I am seething in anger having known this.

The US gave F-16 jets to Indonesia when it had no defense pact with that country.

I believe it is really the policy of the US to make us perpetually dependent to them in terms of military defense.

They are saying that they will help us with "minimum" credible defense.

We must not be content with "minimum." We must make it to the maximum. Let us now develop our nuclear capability!

The Dodds report shows that during the time of Truman administration it was their policy to make the Philippines the raw material supplier to Japan in the latter's rehabilitation.

Makaayewak ya talaga ed Amerika.

We must now cut off the last vestige of our dependence to the US. This is real independence.

We must envision to become a maritime power in the Asia-Pacific.


Our approach to our security must be multilateral.

1. Sign a military pact with Japan. I think Japan is more sincere in helping us than the US. Secure Japanese technology in building ships.

2. Establish defense alliance with Russia. Secure Russian technology in building submarines, nuclear missiles, naval carriers.

3. Sign a nuclear agreement with Iran.

4. Develop military ties with Spain and Latin America.

5. Establish military alliance with Vietnam.

6. Strengthen political and economic ties with Brunei.

7. If the South China sea dispute is resolved, strengthen military and economic ties with the People's Republic of China.

RH bill: Say inkatangawtangaw di Villegas tan Cruz (The ignorance of Villegas and Cruz)

No siopa ray kongrisista tan sinador (Enrile, Sotto) ya onsosomlang ed ipasa na RH bill, kapara iran tangawtangaw ya sikara di Villegas tan Cruz.

Duaran taga-Bataan so nansublay ya nanbenben ed Arsobispado na Lingayen-Dagupan ya agda amta so mansalitay Pangasinan. Akin iraya - sikara Cruz tan Villegas - numiro unon mimibiang ed agda kaokolan ya pibiangan so inmirong tan akairong, duaran Tagalog so manmando ed saray Katoliko ya Pangasinense?

Nanaral iraya na doktorado ed ley ya kanon balet iray argumento da somlang ed RH bill et makapoy, aga ninonot ta anggapon talagay ilaban da ed manepeg ya pankaokolan ya nipasa so ley.

Villegas declares, "Contraception is corruption." But I dare say, "It is the Catholic Church, which is the hotbed of corruption."

Natan nitan lay Cruz ya patron nen Villegas ya say kuanto: "The Reproductive Health bill does not like life, hates life, wants to do away with life!"

How ignorant! Ag to binasa may intiron bill.

In fact, the RH bill is pro-life. Those who oppose it like Cruz and Villegas are the ones who are anti-life.

Villegas even used the Pangasinan language to justify his claim that Pangasinans do not know or practice contraception. There is no Pangasinan word, he said, for contraception. How did he know it when in fact he does not know Pangasinan?

He does not know that Pangasinans before the Spaniards came practice infanticide when they think that having so many children would make them poor. In other words, this is at worst a form of family-planning.  We cannot say this is barbarism  because we cannot judge the early Pangasinans why they committed such practice but they must have been very practical.

RH bill is pro-life because it cares for the life of the mother and the living children. It gives the guarantee that the mother could live a healthy life with proper medication and that the children could be pampered, nourished and educated in a family that is properly provided for. It gives the mother or the woman to choose between artificial and natural method.

The status quo does not provide the minimum condition for a mother or a woman to have the critical choice in upholding life for her and for her existing children if she has given birth.

The RH bill promotes life by making sure that those who had been born as a child and as a mother would be given the maximum security to continue living and enjoy life. 

The anti-RH people do not realize that by rejecting the bill they are sanctioning the continued deprivation of the guarantee that makes the mother and her children alive because with unmitigated family reproduction it does not only endanger the life of the mother who is the bearer of the seed of life but also threatens the lives of her existing children. A family of twelve children would no doubt illustrate this: two or three would suffer from malnutrition resulting in death, the remaining nine would struggle to go to school perhaps with five getting to elementary grades while others would help their parents for their livelihood . In times of epidemic or calamity, with poor health and a shoestring budget, some members would die of disease and starvation. Some would get married at a young age repeating the cycle.

This had been the scenario and the Philippine Roman Catholic church wants to perpetuate it. It is anti-life. It promotes the viciousness of poverty, lack of informed choice and ignorance.

I am beginning to believe more and more that the Philippine Roman Catholic church is a factor in the underdevelopment of the country. First, it is a church of opulence in a sea of poverty. Second, it is not a beacon of enlightenment; it is more the instrument of darkness by perpetuation of medieval ideas. Third and last, it is a church that is bent in protecting its self-interests cavorting with powers-that-be than keeping its flock.
