Malacañang believes that the demonstrations against President Arroyo are losing steam as people start to realize that the courts and not the streets are the proper venue for determining the truth about current controversies.
Interviewed over state-run
dzRB, deputy presidential spokesman Anthony Golez cited the
dwindling attendance in the anti-Arroyo rallies staged in Metro
Manila since the Senate started public hearings on the
controversial $329-million national broadband network (NBN) deal
with
He said last Friday's youth
rally at the Liwasang Bonifacio in
Golez said the people are not joining the anti-government protest actions because rally organizers have presented speakers who were only spreading rumors.
He pointed out that the anti-Arroyo groups are now trying their luck in the provinces since they failed to get the support of the people in Metro Manila.
Senate witness Rodolfo Noel Lozada Jr. has started his provincial tour, specifically in schools, to encourage people to join him in the search for truth after going around campuses in Metro Manila.
Golez said that Lozada's
appeal in the provinces was not as strong as in
He said the
Golez claimed that more or
less 300 people attended the
"The fame is dwindling and the inconsistencies are coming out. People are starting to see the real motive for the tour," Golez said.
Malacanang has been critical of Lozada and his tour of campuses as it believes this is all part of the efforts to oust the President.
Golez said that Lozada and his supporters were getting frustrated by their failure in Metro Manila and they will now spread their rumors in the provinces.
Pardoned President Joseph Estrada, who had joined those who are accusing Mrs. Arroyo of corruption, was also criticized by Golez.
While acknowledging that the former president has every right to say what he wants even against the administration, Golez said that his words have little or no impact considering that he was convicted of plunder.
Golez noted that his presence at rallies was frowned upon by some demonstrators, particularly when he started talking about graft and corruption.
He expressed confidence that the rallies would eventually die down because the people are starting to realize that there is no evidence against the President.
"We can see that everything that is being said by our detractors are mere rumors and that the hard evidence is that the President and her government are working. The people see the evidence based on statistics, based on facts, based on findings. Rumors cannot compete with evidence," Golez said.

Motorcycle Mayhem July 2nd, 2007 by araymanila
The government should first check on the helmet laws for motorcyclists and admit that they have little knowledge about what kind of quality of helmet these bikers are wearing. Anyone who passes by the Ortigas EDSA route will see that motorcycle helmets are for sale by street hawkers, along with toys and cigarettes. Also visible are motorcyclists wearing engineering safety hats and the like in lieu of motorcycle-rated helmets.
Also, if you want to see how serious these government officers are about the bikers laws, they should first look at the way that motorcycle-riding law enforcers wear their helmets. It is not hard to notice that these fools do not strap on their helmets. They merely put them on their heads and think that as toughies their heads are harder than concrete, considering the way they wear their helmets. They don’t even strap them on, rendering the helmets useless as they will fly off their empty heads in an accident.
DUH. You can buy a helmet but can’t buy common sense at any price. SC chief says war on terror mindless
RP rights violations linked to
By Leila Salaverria Inquirer Last updated 05:41am (Mla time) 04/23/2007
In an impassioned plea for respect of human rights, the country's top jurist also warned that a state hobbled by credibility problems and corruption would not be able to protect civil liberties.
"The war on terrorism has inevitable spillover effects on human rights all over the world, especially in countries suspected (of) being used as havens of terrorists," Puno said. He added this had led to the taking of legal shortcuts.
"These shortcuts have scarred the landscape of [human]
rights in the
The
"The threats to our national security and human rights will be aggravated if we have a state weakened internally by a government hobbled by corruption, struggling with credibility, battling the endless insurgence of the left and the right, and by a state weakened externally by pressure exerted by creditor countries, by countries where our trade comes from, by countries that supply our military and police armaments," Puno said.
"A weak state cannot fully protect the rights of its citizens within its borders just as a state without economic independence cannot protect the rights of its citizens who are abroad from the exploitation of more powerful countries."
Puno spoke at the commencement exercises of the University of the East last week, and a copy of his speech was e-mailed to reporters by the Supreme Court information office.
Eliminating the evil
Puno said that terrorism was terrible enough "but the mindless, knee-jerk reaction to extirpate the evil is more discomforting."
He added that the "quickie solution is to unfurl the flag, sing the national anthem, and issue the high-pitched call to arms for the military and the police to use their weapons under the theme 'victory at all costs.'"
He said laws limiting individual rights in the name of state security had been passed.
"To put constitutional cosmetics to the military-police muscular efforts, lawmakers usually enact laws using security of the state to justify the diminution of human rights by allowing arrests without warrants, surveillance of suspects, interception and recording of communications, seizure or freezing of bank deposits, assets and records of suspects," he added.
"They also redefine terrorism as a crime against humanity and the redefinition is broadly drawn to constrict and shrink further the zone of individual rights."
RP's anti-terror law
Puno made no specific mention of the
His statements were the latest to emanate from a judiciary which several times in the past had expressed concern over the violation of civil liberties in the country.
In previous decisions, the Supreme Court had struck down presidential or state directives involving security matters. These included President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's imposition of emergency rule last year and the so-called calibrated preemptive response policy allowing police to break up street demonstrations.
It also voided the recent arrest by the police of leftist leader Rep. Satur Ocampo.
Puno also said the acts of terrorists also violated human rights but they should not be the sole focus of the people's attention, pointing out that terrorism tended to draw attention because of the "cinematic impact" of violence.
Lesson from history
"If there is any lesson that we can derive from the history of human rights, it is none other than that these rights cannot be obliterated by bombs but neither can they be preserved by bullets alone," Puno said.
Puno said that in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, the United States -- "the worst victim of terrorism" -- pursued a strategy of "bruising aggressiveness" that sent legal observers wondering.
He said the effects of US actions had spilled over to the
He pointed out that the
"In less polite parlance, the search and destroy strategy gave little respect to the sovereignty of states and violated their traditional borders," he said.
He added that this strategy trampled on the basic liberties of suspected terrorists, "for laws are silent when the guns of war do the talking."
Legal shortcuts
"One visible result of the scramble to end terrorism is to take legal shortcuts and legal shortcuts always shrink the scope of human rights," he said.
Puno cited the escalation of extrajudicial killings in the country which got the attention of international groups, and reports of how the New People's Army rebels themselves "lawlessly retaliated" for such killings.
Puno also said poverty was a form of terrorism.
"In poor countries, it is poverty that truly terrorizes people for they are terrorized by the thought that they will die because of empty stomachs and not that they will lose their lives due to some invisible suicide bombers," he said.
He also said this lack of resources led to the violation of poor people's human rights because they did not dare participate in a slow-moving justice system that would only cost them money.
It does not matter exactly how many poor people there are in the
He said the fact was that the country continued to be beset by poverty.
Everybody's concern
"To the unsophisticated in the esoterics of economics, this is a distinction without difference for the cruel fact is that poverty stalks this land of plenty and hunger is still the best food seasoning of its people," he said.
Puno also said the campaign against terror had led to a massive displacement of young people from their areas.
He warned: "It will not take a prophet to predict that countries that cannot give decent life to their young people will serve as incubators of extremism that may end up in terrorism."
Puno said protecting human rights was everybody's burden and that the apathy of fence-sitters was the worst enemy of human rights since it allowed violations to continue.
"The apathy of those who can make a difference is the reason why violations of human rights continue to prosper. The worst enemy of human rights is not its non-believers but the fence-sitters who will not lift a finger despite their violations," he said.
Right to live with dignity
He also said the fight against terrorism and the battle to preserve human rights would affect the youth's right to live with dignity. It could lead to their massive displacement in areas where the fight against terrorism trampled on human rights.
The rich and powerful should also not ignore the protection of the rights of the poor and powerless just because they remained unaffected, he said.
Incursions
"Sooner or later, they will find that they who default in protecting the rights of the many will end up without rights like the many," he said.
"With the incursions and threats of incursion to our human rights at this crucial moment in our history, the clarion call to each one of us is to consecrate our lives to the great cause of upholding our human rights," Puno said.

Sedition charges vs Tribune: A chill wind for media
The National Union of Journalists of the
The Department of Justice's move sends a chill wind across the Philippine media landscape. But as the Arroyo administration learned during its ill-fated and short-lived efforts to impose tyranny over this nation, Filipino journalists will not be cowed by efforts to silence the press.
The DOJ said it filed the charges because the three
journalists' articles tried to "lead or stir up the people
against the lawful authorities, namely, the President of the
The kind of reasoning betrays the government's intent to silence a broad spectrum of legal dissent and sweep allegations of corruption, rights violations and other misdeeds under a thick cloud of fear.
The charge that critical write-ups undermine government officials and institutions is likewise typical of the administration's penchant to blame media for scandals and controversies borne of official misconduct.
The NUJP rejects the government's claim that "overriding demands and requirements of the greater number" justifies a clampdown on press freedom and freedom of expression.
It is in defending the people's right to know that the press and citizens lay down the foundations of a genuine democracy, one that highlights the accountability of public servants. Without this accountability, democracy becomes a farce.
The charges against our colleagues at Tribune shows that the demons of February 2006 that this administration sought to set loose on this land have not been exorcised.
That the charges against Tribune were filed during the visit of the UN Special Rapporteur on extra-judicial killings only displays the administration's brazen stance towards civil liberties.
The filing of the charges less than a year since the administration declared a state of emergency highlights the need for perpetual vigilance. If there is only thing we can expect from this government, it is that it will try and try again to narrow a democratic space already bloodied by the mounting murders of journalists, activists and judges.
The NUJP will not even call on the government to withdraw the charges. Instead, it calls on all media organizations and entities to support our Tribune colleagues in their fight against a tyrannical administration.
There is also one other way to defeat this administration's goal of muzzling the Press – that is for all Filipino journalists to meet this latest outrage with sustained, independent and courageous reportage on official misconduct.
The NUJP also calls on the public to support media's struggle to defend press freedom.

Jose Torres Jr., chairperson Rowena Carranza-Paraan, secretary-general Globe's Convenient "System error"
Globe called me a couple of months ago to tell me that I was the recipient of their new promo, a rebate every month for one of my cell phone lines. I am supposed to be a member of their Platinum members. Exactly what that means is very vague to me.
What it does mean, though, as what Globe did this week was indicative of how they treat their Platinum members. After they tell me that I have a rebate on the phone bill, they appeared to have "forgotten" all about the program. I had to call them four or five times till someone gave me an idea of what this rebate meant to the common tao.
It means that in case you happen to call them 3 times a week for a month, one of their tech support representatives will say that there was a "system error" BUT not to fear as they had already flagged it. But that’s not the end of it. Apparently the flagpole is made of weak material, and the flag either flies away, or is swallowed up by the earth. So, again with the phone calls to tech support. It is quite evident that the "support" is given to Globe and kept going by our money. This money is then used to pay people to tell you that you need to call again to remind these tech support people, whose salaries we pay that you have a rebate. Otherwise, if you forget, their "system error" happens again.
To be sure, you have to call every week, be sure to ask for a reference number, wait for a few days, call again, wait for another reference number, and hope the "system error" does not yet again err against your account.
It's a great way to make easy money, entice people to use their phones more by giving you a rebate, then charge you for all the calls and if you notice, what with all the bills we have to monitor for accuracy --electricity, water, gas, fuel, etc. -- that you did not get your rebate they are sorry but hey, 'twas but a "system error".
Hey, call again next week.
Gee, and I thought Globe was different from the evildoers at PLDT.
Rumor has it that
the current highest paying job in food tasters for the Palace. The high paying job is not getting too many responses from it's ads...
The headline of the Philippine Daily Inquirer dated Nov. 2, 2006 reads "HUNGER HITS RECORD HIGH" and spells out the number of Filipinos who are literally starving to death -- 2.9 Million.
In the meantime, those who wield power in this banana republic opt to change the constitution and guarantee their stay in office for God knows how much longer. This makes sense only to the power-mad and obstinate. Unfortunately, as the power they do wield comes from the barrel of a gun and not from the people, their stay in power will see the number of hungry double in a few years, as funds for food goes to political pockets instead of the poor's stomachs.
Welcome to Manila, home of the wretched and land of the few.

COURTESY OF THE NATIONAL UNION OF JOURNALISTS IN THE A Call for Unity and Sacrifice
It’s been a year after the Garci tapes first surfaced, and we are still hopelessly divided as ever. Each side appeal to the other to join their cause, both claim to represent the majority. The anti-GMA forces base their claim on survey results which consistently show that a vast majority believe GMA cheated. Pro-GMA forces claim the people have spoken – they have not responded to the opposition calls for protest. They conveniently forget that neither have the people responded to their call to move on.
The truth is we are in a political gridlock. And the situation will continue to worsen unless we see a breakthrough in the current impasse.
It is unreasonable to expect GMA and her allies to budge. Therefore, the only option left is for us within the anti-GMA camp, who claims to be motivated by love of country, to make the supreme sacrifice by abandoning our quest for the truth. After all, truth is a small price to pay for progress.
Let us heed the admonition of the bishops. They discourage us from pursuing impeachment, convinced that it will fail, and will only dismay every citizen. Besides, they question the motivation of some groups in our rank. In effect, they’re saying we might inadvertently abet the return of Erap, the succession of Noli (whom they probably see as incompetent), or worse, the ascendancy of the communists. So, let’s not waste our time and energy on impeachment.
While at it, let’s ask the poor to stop filing cases in court. They will only be dismayed since we all know it takes money to win a case. They will do all of us a favor by unclogging the dockets in our court system. The wheels of justice will finally grind faster, especially for those with enough money to influence the court decisions.
And what’s all this talk about asking the
On the other hand, the bishops want us to continue denouncing the palace-led people’s initiative for charter change. They find the haste by which Malacanang is pushing this rather alarming. I wonder why they do not find the alleged cheating and the subsequent cover-up efforts by the palace equally alarming.
I also wonder why they have decided to fight this one when the very same groups whose motivation they question are fighting this one, too. I guess it’s because non-partisan groups like One Voice and Kapatiran, are endorsing it. They have no agenda (just like many of us in the anti-GMA camp, anyway) and they know what’s best for this country. Let us join them and speak with one voice on this issue.
While at it, let’s also heed the repeated appeals of the “top 600 women” and businessmen like Donald Dee for us to stop all forms of protest. They only scare investors away and imperil the economy. Let’s not nitpick on the issue of cheating. Everybody cheats anyway. Some of them even expect us to be thankful for GMA’s cheating, because it saved us from an FPJ presidency. The end justifies the means.
Let’s not bother to have elections in 2007 and 2010. In fact, let’s not have elections ever. Everybody will cheat, anyway. And we run the risk of our mindless masa voting another incompetent movie personality into office. Let’s just leave the future of this nation to these all-knowing non-partisan groups. Never mind that the rest of our people do not agree with them. They know better.
Some of them actually believe that what this nation needs at
this time is a benevolent dictator. And they cite
Of course, GMA supporters will not openly admit that she is a dictator, even though she has repeatedly violated the constitution with CPR, EO 464, and PP 1017. But we can all agree that she is benevolent. Just ask the Comelec officials who met at her house and the congressmen who voted down impeachment last year. But then again, the bishops may not agree. P20,000 in an envelope can hardly be considered benevolent.
I call on my colleagues in the anti-GMA movement to stand down and join the majority of our people who believe she cheated but have decided not to do anything about it. That is the most patriotic thing to do.
Never mind that we are breeding a new generation of Filipinos lacking in moral scruples, where lying, stealing and cheating abound. You cannot eat morality. Never mind that our rights are curtailed and our basic liberties trampled. You cannot drink democracy. National unity, at whatever cost, is our only hope for a better future and a strong republic.
How times have changed. I remember, right after EDSA 1, people proclaimed, “Never again!” Now, all we can say is “Never mind!”
Enteng Romano III Convenor, Black and White Movement
P.S. – please pass this on to everyone you know who are actively involved in or even remotely supportive of the anti-GMA movement that they may be enlightened and do the right thing for the sake of our nation.

THE DEPORT RONNIE NATHANIELSZ MOVEMENT GATHERS STEAM. We posted the story of an arrogant Nathanielsz in this page and to our yahoo-groups. Before long, it turned out that there are other people who thought that he had already left the country. After learning that he hadn't, they asked us to launch a movement calling for his deportation. Due to persistent public demand, we are gathering signatures for a deport-Nathanielsz campaign. Please send your email to webmaster at kaimo.com to take part in the move to deport this despised imported marcos propagandist who was the sinister and infamous foreign voice that condemned Pinoys throughout the archipelago.
TV show extolling the great career of Ronnie Nathanieslz inspires Filipinos?!? The unthinkable has happened. Cito Beltran actually put Marcos media mouth Ronnie Nathanielsz on his show. And, falling prey to the expert propagandist, Beltran appeared to have lost control of his own show. There was the part about how Nathanielsz actually was the hero of the underground movement because he was the man who had the guts to feature Ninoy Aquino on a live interview during the Marcos dictatorship. Viewers all over the country witnessed history being altered all throughout the interview as Nathanielsz bruited about all the great things he did with Ninoy, Don Chino Roces and even Pepe Diokno. May lightning strike the liars dead. As for me, I am not watching that show anymore. It stooped too low this time. Nathanielsz was a rat. No two ways about it. How a rat manages to talk is incredible. Giving a rat media mileage is not. It is intolerable. Ninoy was a hero, not because of Nathanielsz but because of what he did for the people and the cause we were fighting for. Biggest joke that came out of the interview- Nathanielsz wants to host a late night talk show, claiming he has a great sense of humor. Duh. |
