NO TO CHA CHA!

NO TO CHARTER CHANGE!!!

Yes, You heard me right...

May this blog be my contribution to the Filipino people who are now rallying for the stoppage of the Arroyo's tune of Cha-Cha.

This day, people will converge at the city streets of Makati and Manila to show protest to the House Resolution 1109, convening the Congress into a Constituent Assembly. Which is for me a very drastic move towards the extension of Gloria Arroyo in presidency.

I do not oppose the change to our constitution especially to those provisions that are now obsolete and not applicable to our society anymore. This is not the right time for this change to be tackled by the government.

This is my stand...No to Charter Change Until Gloria vacated her seat. No To Charter Change until this Crocodiles in both Chambers of Congress vanished from their seats. Instead Push for the Poll Automation on May 2010 elections and NEVER, NEVER, NEVER POSTPONE the BARANGAY ELECTIONS.

Manny Pacquiao Forms NEW Political Party

Emmanuel Pacquiao in real life, the ring icon has formally petitioned the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to accredit his organization—called the People’s Champ Movement—as a “local political party.”

As a “local” party, the People’s Champ Movement (PCM) is fielding candidates only for local positions in General Santos City and Sarangani province—all but confirming widespread speculation that Pacquiao would seek a seat in the House of Representatives, or maybe run for mayor, in the 2010 elections.

Comelec commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer revealed on Monday that Pacquiao filed a petition last December asking the poll body to accredit his party called People's Champ Movement.

Ferrer said the Comelec recently heard the petition, which has been up for a ruling. The political party could only field candidates for local posts in General Santos and Sarangani Province, the Comelec said.

Panlilio-Padaca tandem for 2010 elections

Amid reports that they might seek the two highest posts in the land in the 2010 elections, Pampanga Governor Ed Panlilio and Isabela Governor Grace Padaca on Monday reiterated that they are still mulling the possibility of running for president and vice president next year.

Panlilio, in an interview on GMA’s Unang Hirit, said that he is still discerning whether he will pursue a presidential bid, which he said is hinged on public clamor for a new brand of leadership.

While Isabela Governor Grace Padaca, states that, "Basta ako ang titignan ko, ano kaya ang magiging reaksyon ng mga tao, ng mga Pilipino, sa ganitong possibility...yun ang magiging basis ko, senyal naman siguro para sakin [I will look at the reaction of the Filipino people to this possibility...that will be my basis, perhaps a signal for me to run]," she said in an interview over radio dzBB.

Padaca said while she is not inclined to run for the country's second highest post, she will consider the push of several non-government organizations for a Panlilio-Padaca team-up in respect for the groups.

Panlilio and Padaca are members of the Kaya Natin! Movement for good governance and responsible citizenship.

On Sunday, the movement and several farmers’ organizations formed the Panlilio-Padaca Para sa Pagbabago (PPPP) launched their coalition for the Panlilio-Padaca tandem.

Activist priest Fr. Robert Reyes said the two governors could not only stamp out corruption in the government, but also restore dignity to public service.

Panlilio won in the 2007 gubernatorial elections in Pampanga, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s home province. In that same year, he bared Malacañang's P500,000 “gift" to governors at the height of an impeachment bid against the President.

Panlilio recently accused President Arroyo's son, Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel "Mikey" Arroyo, of turning a blind eye in the rampant jueteng operations in his province.

The Call for a SNAP Election

It is not a good time to tell the people of this stupid proposals. A snap election is an election to be held in an instant. And it is indeed a call to settle all things over. This must be in a legal process with the duly authority stating the reasons for this must go on.

It is not in a good timing for there is nothing to be settled. In fact all of the people right now is that 2010 presidential elections must push through without any reason.

People today are eager to see the present presidentiables to be in public and to campaign. Scrap this snap elections for we are in a deep crisis. We need a new president but we can wait for that time...
