Marcos era had negative impact on economy: MBC chair

02/25/16

MANILA – Makati Business Club (MBC) chairman Ramon del Rosario agrees with President Aquino that the Marcos regime had a negative impact on the Philippine economy.

Del Rosario, a former co-chair of the People Power Commission, said the biggest sin of former President Ferdinand Marcos was he parceled out the economy to cronies and killed the entrepreneurial spirit.

But Del Rosario noted that the economy was able to recover during the governments of Cory Aquino (1986-1992) and Fidel Ramos (1992-1998) and is now on the right path.

“In the economic field, for example, one must remember that from being number two in Asia, we went all the way down to being at the bottom of the economic ladder throughout Asia. By the end of the dictatorship [in Feb. 1986], we were a bankrupt nation, institutions like the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), Philippine National Bank (PNB), and even the central bank were really bankrupt,” Del Rosario told ANC.

“We should never forget all of these things were done during the Marcos dictatorship. It’s something we should never forget or never re-write history about,” he added.

Meanwhile, Wilson Sy, who was a stock broker at that time, said the historic events should serve as lessons to voters when they head to the polls on May 9.

“The stock market at that time was practically dead…If they remember what happened in the past, and what happened to the stock market, they’ll know what to do and probably vote or elect people that will continue with reforms and continue with what is right for the country,” said Sy.

Na KURYENTE si Roxas sa pahayag tungkol sa problema ng DROGA sa DAVAO at MAKATI

NABALIKAN nanaman si EPAL KING Mar Roxas dala ng padalosdalos na pananalita. Sa kagustuhang siraan ang kanyang mga katunggali sa pagkapangulo, inupakan niya ang Makati (ni VP Binay) at Davao (ni Mayor Duterte) na talamak daw ang DROGA doon sa mga lungsod na iyon. Ipinagyabang pa niya na pwede raw niya samahan ang sinumang gustong bumili ng mga PINAGBABAWAL na GAMOT.

Siguro kung si Senadora Grace Poe o Senadora Miriam Defensor Santiago ang nagsabi noon, mahihirapan ang dalawang alkaldeng kandidato na masagot ang paratang (totoo man o hindi). Ang problema lang ay si Mar Roxas ay dating Secretary ng Department of the Interior and Local Government. Ibig sabihin nasa ilalim ng DILG ang Philippine National Police na isa sa mga sangay ng pamahalaan na may responsibilidad at kapangyarihan TUGISIN ang problem ng DROGA sa buong bansa. Ang mga lokal na PNP sa mga ibatibang mga lungsod ay nasa pangangasiwa ng DILG kung saan ang mga alkalde ay binibigyan lang ng COORDINATING FUNCTION. Sa madaling salita, ang mga KAPABAYAAN sa PAGSUGPO ng problema ng DROGA sa PILIPINAS ay dahil sa KAKULANGAN ng PNP (at iba pang ahensha ng pamahalaan na namamahala sa ANTI-DRUG campaign).

Kung totoo man ang sinasabi ni Mar Roxas na laganap ang DROGA sa Makati City at Davao City, eh de INAMIN na rin nyang SHA RIN ang may KASALANAN sa hindi mapigilang problema. Lalo pang katawatawa na binigyan pa ng Mar Roxas DILG ng parangal ang Davao City dahil sa mabuti at magaling na pamamahala.

Maski hindi na kalihim si Mar ng DILG, nasa Aquino Administration naman sha so bakit hindi nya ITURO ang mga bilihan ng SHABU, COCAINE at HEROIN kung tunay na alam nya kung saan ginagawa ang mga bentahan.

OPINYON: Batid naman ng lahat na laging KULELAT si Mar Roxas sa mga election survey kaya PILIT na humahanap ng magagawa (EPAL), masasabi (KURYENTE) at iba pang gimmickmar makakabili para makaakyat ang kanyang RATING.  #MarRoxas #ZeroVotesForMarRoxas #ZeroVotesForLP #LaglagBala #LaglaganNa #SamarGroup #SamarGroupNoyBiIn2010,GraceChizNamanIn2016 #GracePoeNotSoSecretCandidateNiPNoy

BINAY, POE, DUTERTE ‘STATISTICALLY TIED’

SWS: No clear winner yet in presidential race

February 15, 2016
The presidential race remains to be anybody’s ball game even as Vice President Jejomar Binay continues to lead in the latest Social Weather Station (SWS) pre-election survey.

SWS director Leo Laroza said it was still too early to determine who will win as president in the May 9 elections based on the results of the pollster’s latest survey, conducted from February 5 to 7.

The poll, which had 1,200 respondents, showed Binay’s rating at 29 percent, followed by Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and Senator Grace Poe with 24 percent, admnistration standard bearer Manuel “Mar” Roxas II with 18 percent, and Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago with 4 percent.

In an interview aired on GMA News TV’s “News to Go” Monday, Laroza noted that Binay is in fact statistically tied with Duterte and Poe because the survey’s sampling error margins were at ±3 points.

“Sa sitwasyon na ito, ang 29 percent at 24 percent ay masasabi nating statistically tied dahil ang error margin ay ±3 percent, means the 29 percent can be as low as 26 percent, habang yung 24 percent can be as high as 27 percent,” he explained.

“Dahil sa overlap na ‘yun, masasabi nating hindi significant ang agwat ng 29 percent sa 24 percent,” Laroza added.

Asked if the latest survey results mean there is still no clear winner yet in the presidential contest, the SWS official answered in the affirmative.

Laroza recalled that in the 2010 elections, survey ratings of candidates for top national positions continued to shift even a few weeks before the actual polling date.

“Kung pagbabasehan natin ang mga ranking ngayon, talagang hindi pa natin masasabi kung ano ang kalalabasan [ng halalan]. Noong 2010 elections, nagaganap ang pabagubago sa ranking ay talagang nagaganap kahit malapit na tayo sa araw ng eleksyon,” he said.

Laroza, meanwhile, said the death of OFW Family Club party-list Rep. Roy Señeres last February 8 was not seen to have an impact on the ranking of the remaining five presidential candidates because he was not picked by any of the survey respondents.

Señeres filed his certificate of candidacy for president last October but had his representatives withdraw it on his behalf earlier this month, citing health reasons. He died a day before the official campaign season kicked off on February 9. —Xianne Arcangel, GMA News

2016 Presidential survey front-runner Vice President Jejomar Binay.  In a second place tie are Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and Senator Grace Poe. All three are is a statistical tie. DILG Secretary Mar Roxas is alone in fourth position.

 

 

Mar Roxas -from LAGLAG BALA to LAGLAGAN NA

Mar Roxas now seeing his candidacy JUNKED by P-Noy allies. With the start of the official campaign period underway, former Senator (Cory Administration) and former Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary (P-Noy administration) Alberto Romulo attended the opening salvo rally of the Presidential candidate Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. Romulo’s son is an official candidate of the Team Grace Poe ticket but the father still made his presence felt in the Digong camp in an effort to solicit a “Second Endorsement” from the Duterte Cayetano tandem. Significantly, Romulo does not attend Mar Roxas and Liberal Party campaign sorties.

A few weeks before the February 2016 Comelec campaign period, the Nograles clan, bitter Davao opponents of Mayor Duterte bolted from the Aquino Administration Coalition to cast their support for their blood relative Digong. Their official statement stated that their bloc consists of at least 50 members of the Lower House (House of Representatives) with at least 20 of them being members of the Liberal Party. This decision can be construed as a move along regional lines as Mayor Duterte is the mayor of Davao City in Mindanao.

On the local front, Secretary Mar Roxas may have his hands full even in his own home turf as Congressman Albie Benitez, Chair of the Liberal Party in Negros Occidental, already publicly declared his support for Senator Poe. Needless to say, the poor survey results of Secretary Mar prompted many in the Aquino Administration Coalition to jump ship on the basis of the lack of winnability in candidate Roxas. Roxas ran and lost in 2010 for the Vice Presidential seat while his party mate Benigno Aquino won the Presidency. Mar Roxas was stabbed in the back by Aquino backers when they campaigned for a NoyBi (for Noynoy Aquino and Jejomar Binay, who won as Vice President) ticket. Those same Aquino allies are again plotting to sabotage the Roxas campaign with prominent personalities siding with either  Vice President Binay or Senator Poe or Mayor Rodrigo Duterte for President in 2016.

The Aquino Administration was recently hounded by the Lagalag Bala international airport controversy with DILG Secretary geting some collateral flak as he was formerly Secretary of the Department of Transportation and Communications. It did not help that Roxas issued strong statements against passengers carrying weapons and bullets (some as amulets) while totally being SILENT on the EXTORTION aspect of the problem. It is the general perception that the epidemic of “discoveries” is due to airport security personnel trying to make a fast buck by planting bullets on the luggage of hapless victims who would be prodded to give grease money in an effort to avoid missing their scheduled flights.

Mar KULELAT nanaman sa Magdalo Survey

Poe, Duterte and Binay too close to call in latest Magdalo survey

Poe regained the top spot for the presidential survey with 29.9 percent followed by her close contender, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, who garnered 26.6 percent.

Vice President Jejomar “Jojo” Binay claimed the third spot with 25.5 percent while Liberal Party standard bearer and former Department of the Interior and Local Government Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas II remained at the fourth place with 14 percent.

The Magdalo party-list surveyed almost 3,000 respondents from across the various regions of the country from February 3 to 5.

Magdalo party-list Rep. Francisco Ashley Acedillo said their group randomly selected respondents and provided the list of candidates running for president and vice president just like the previous election surveys.

The respondents were asked “If elections would be held today, who among the following candidates would you vote for?'”

Acedillo said the surveys from the previous months showed that Poe’s ratings declined due to the confusion caused by the disqualification cases against her but due to the developments regarding her case she has regained the top spot in the survey.

The Magdalo group said the survey has margin of error of 1.8 percent.

FVR supports Duterte and Robredo

FVR throws support behind Leni, but is mum on Mar

Cala Gomez, DJ Yap
Philippine Daily Inquirer

February 9, 2016A DAY before the official launch of the campaign period, Liberal Party (LP) vice presidential candidate Leni Robredo has won the support of a prominent and powerful personality, former President Fidel V. Ramos, according to her staff.

In a news release Monday, the Robredo camp announced that Ramos had officially endorsed the candidacy of Robredo following a visit to Ramos’ office in Makati.

The candidate’s publicist provided photos of the visit Monday morning, including one showing the former President raising Robredo’s arm.

There was, however, no word on whether the 87-year-old Ramos would do the same for Robredo’s running mate, LP standard-bearer Mar Roxas.

In December, Ramos reproached Roxas and Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte for their public spat, advising the presidential candidates to start acting like a president, if they wanted to get the job.

Her staff said the widow of Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo asked Ramos for advice on running her campaign.

“In the meeting, Ramos shared his campaign experience in 1992 and offered Robredo some advice on how to woo voters as she visits different parts of the country starting tomorrow (Tuesday),” according to the news release.

According to her staff, Robredo told Ramos: “I came here to ask for your support.”

The former President was quoted as having replied: “You’ve always had it. You didn’t even have to come.”

Meanwhile, Robredo was the keynote speaker at the opening of Zonta International District 17 Area 3 meeting at Sugarland Hotel in Bacolod City on Friday.

She said a nation that is ruled in justice and fairness is business-friendly.

“Investment in integrity and good governance makes huge business sense,” she said, adding that good governance is accompanied by jobs, growth and less poverty.

“We might have attracted some attention in the last four years, and became the new darling of emerging markets, but unless we sustain our reforms on the governance plane, that attention will once again fizzle out and we will go back to square one,” Robredo said.

“This campaign for good governance and this kind of public service that aims not to leave any Filipino behind have become my work as I try to fill my husband’s shoes,” she said, as she stressed the need to empower people.

Since she became a representative of Camarines Sur, Robredo said she had brought in billions in funding for infrastructure and social services to her district using innovative means to source money within the bureaucracy and from private-public partnerships.

Mar Roxas NILAGLAG na ng P-Noy Allies

P-Noy Allies NILALAGLAG na si Mar Roxasdu30 romulo

 

Aquino Administration former Secretary of Foreign Affairs Alberto Romulo graced the official campaign kick-off political rally of Presidential candidate Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and Vice Presidential aspirant Senator Alan Peter Cayetano. This is the “first sighting” of a P-Noy former or current cabinet member PUBLICLY seen showing support to an opposing ticket. President Aquino and the Liberal Party have officially endorsed former Senator and former DILG Secretary Mar Roxas for President and Representative Leni Robredo for Vice-President. Roxas and Robredo have both lagged in their respective presidential and vice-presidential surveys. The rumor mill has it that President Aquino may DUMP either or both of the Liberal Party standard bearers.

There is a huge stake for President Aquino with respect to INEVITABLE criminal charges being filed against him once he steps down from office on June 30, 2016. A possible BRIBERY CASE in relation to the Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona impeachment proceedings plus the UNCONSTITUTIONAL DAP and PDAF pork barrel funds scam are just a few of the controversies that could land P-Noy in JAIL. It is to his OBVIOUS ADVANTAGE if Mar Roxas wins the Presidency although that development looks OVERLY OPTIMISTIC at this stage of the campaign.  Aquino is “close” to current presidential survey front runner Senator Grace Poe (although she spurned his offer for her to run as the Vice Presidential candidate of Mar Roxas) but at least she states that she would continue the current administration’s Tuwid Na Daan (Straight Path).

Aquino is currently at odds with Vice President Jejomar Binay, also running for President, and the VP has openly stated that he would use the full force of the law against President Aquino if he (Binay) wins the Presidency. Binay has his own legal problems related to graft and corruption charges so that if he wins the Presidency he would be immune from criminal and civil law suits while in office at the same time that a LOSS in May 2016 would most PROBABLY see him in JAIL for PLUNDER cases.

Mayor Duterte is the UNKNOWN FACTOR since he is hard on criminality, drugs and graft and corruption but basically silent on whether he would hound Noynoy Aquino if he (Duterte) wins the Presidency. The sighting of former Senator and former DFA Secretary Romulo can thus be interpreted as a personal show of support to Duterte at the same time that he (Romulo) could be used as a P-Noy conduit to Duterte if the Davao Mayor is elected President and President Aquino steps down on June 30, 2016 and faces a DELUGE of COURT CASES on the next working day (July 1, 2016) when CRIMINAL CHARGES would be filed as promised by the militant Left. At the very least, the Romulo visit could be the start of JUNKING SEASON (junking Mar, that is) since Mar has always trailed badly in the surveys and practical politicians do not want to be associated with LOSERS so they seek an audience with the other Presidential contenders (Poe, Binay and Duterte).

Miriam and Bong Bong start campaign from Ilocos

Ron Gagalac, ABS-CBN News

02/09/16

The two officially launched on Tuesday their national campaign in Batac, Ilocos Norte, the stronghold of the Marcos family.

Santiago said that if their tandem wins the elections and something happens to her, the Philippines will be in good hands with Marcos as president.

miriam bongbong slap“If I die before I finish my six-year term, Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will be able to fit that bill,” she said.

Santiago said Marcos’ youth and idealism are what the country needs right now.

“We need somebody young and idealistic to take over,” she said.

Marcos thanked Santiago, saying he has learned a lot from the lady senator. The two have been seatmates at the Senate session hall for the last five years.

“Kami ni Senator Miriam, lagi kaming magkatabi. Desk mate, kung sa eskwelahan. Sa kanya ako kumokopya,” Marcos said in jest. “But one basic fundamental principle that we agreed upon is that of meritocracy and recognition for excellence.”

Today marked the very first time that Marcos and Santiago were together in a campaign sortie since declaring their respective bids last year.

They flew together from Manila and arrived in Laoag International Airport at around 8:30 a.m.

From the airport, Sen. Marcos went around Laoag City for a motorcade before proceeding to Batac City where they attended a Mass at Immaculate Conception Parish, as a start to the 90-day campaign period.

Together with Marcos Jr. was his wife Liza, his mother, Ilocos Norte Congresswoman Imelda Marcos, and sister Ilocos Norte Gov. Imee Marcos.

Their proclamation rally was held at the plaza of Batac City shortly before noon Tuesday.

In her speech, Santiago said she has always admired the Ilocanos.

Ilocos Norte is part of what is called the “Solid North” that can deliver up to 5 million votes.

Santiago also said if she is elected president, all those who stole from government coffers will be put in a brand new jail.

“Mamili sila. May ordinaryo, may business class, may first class, pero kulong silang lahat,” she said to the cheers of thousands of their supporters.

ANTI-BONGBONG CAMPAIGN

Last week, victims of martial law launched a movement to stop Marcos Jr. from winning the vice presidential race.

The initiative is called CARMMA or Campaign Against the Return of the Marcoses to Malacañang.

Left-leaning groups such as SELDA, Desaparecidos, Bayan, Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP), and other victims of human rights abuses said they are opposed to the younger Marcos as vice president because “he is not guiltless as he presents [himself] to be.”

“Hindi namin hahayaan na manumbalik ang mga Marcos sa Malacañang through a presidential bid. Pag nanalo yan bilang VP, isang hakbang na lang ay presidente na,” SELDA Chairperson Marie Hilao-Enriquez said.

The groups believe Marcos and his family have a bottomless war chest that he can use to win the vice presidency.

“There is also the reality that the plundered wealth of the father has been passed on to his children,” SELDA Vice Chairperson Bonifacio Ilagan explained.

Marcos’ refusal to apologize for the abuses and human rights violations during the martial law makes him even more frightening than his father, the groups said.

They also claim the senator was part of his father’s crony capitalism in 1985, when at 26 years old, he was appointed chairman of the board of Philippine Communications Satellite Corporation (Philcomsat) receiving a monthly salary of up to $97,000.

The groups said they will hound Marcos wherever his campaign sorties will be and flood social media with anti-Marcos propaganda.

A nationwide event for CARMMA is slated on February 22 as the grand launch of the campaign. — with reports from Dennis Datu, DZMM; Anthony Taberna, ABS-CBN News

Duterte Comelec Disqualification Cases Ibinasura

Duterte: All systems go

COMELEC JUNKS ALL DQ CASES VS DAVAO MAYOR

Nancy Carvajal and Tina G. Santos

February 4, 2016

DUTERTE Now an official candidate and can campaign RAFFY LERMA

With protests against his candidacy out of the way, it is now full steam ahead for presidential aspirant Rodrigo Duterte.

“I am now an official candidate, I will participate in presidential debates and I am prepared to debate with them,” the Davao City mayor said hours after the Commission on Elections (Comelec) dismissed petitions seeking to disqualify him from the May elections.

“I will campaign extensively and I can now accept contributions, but with certain conditions, such as the money must come from legitimate sources, and from those who have no business transactions with the government,” Duterte told the Inquirer.

“The punisher will live to die another day,” a smiling Commissioner Christian Robert Lim remarked in announcing the ruling of the Comelec First Division, which handled the cases against Duterte, and which he chaired. He obviously was referring to Duterte’s no-nonsense campaign to clear his city of criminals and drug lords.

In a press conference, Lim said the decision was unanimous in denying the four petitions against Duterte due to lack of merit.

“He is a candidate as we speak and we are now in the process of finalizing the list of candidates,” Comelec Chair Andres Bautista said.

The consolidated cases against Duterte were filed by broadcaster Ruben Castor, UP student leader JP delas Nieves and presidential aspirants Ely Pamatong and Rizalito David, who both had been declared by the Comelec as nuisance candidates and disqualified.

All four petitions principally questioned the validity of Duterte’s substitution for former Partido Demokratikong Pilipino-Laban ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) standard-bearer Martin Diño, on grounds of Diño’s certificate of candidacy (COC) for President was invalid.

Diño claimed he inadvertently placed in the COC he was running for mayor of Pasay City instead of President.

In its 50-page resolution issued Wednesday, the Comelec first division noted that Diño had filed a valid COC for President, which meant that Duterte had also filed a valid COC for President as Diño’s substitute—both being PDP-Laban members.

“The Commission First Division finds no material misrepresentations in respondent Duterte’s COC for President, and hence, it is valid and it gives rise to a valid candidacy,” the resolution said.

The division resolved to dismiss the petition filed by Castor and Delas Nieves against Duterte for their failure to appear in the preliminary conference of their respective cases.

The decision also pointed out that Pamatong had failed to present any evidence to prove his claim that Duterte should be declared a nuisance candidate.

Bautista said the petitioners would be given five days to appeal the decision to the full commission.

Duterte, who just came from a farmers’ forum at the University of the Philippines, earlier said that he would not attend presidential debates until the Comelec had resolved his cases. He changed his mind after he received the news of the Comelec ruling at his national headquarters along Edsa in Greenhills, San Juan.

An initial survey on a Duterte candidacy commissioned by a Davao businessman and conducted by the Social Weather Stations showed him a presidential front-runner for his efforts to transform his crime-ridden city into one of the world’s safest urban centers. But after his expletive-laden speech at the launch of his presidential bid Nov. 30, cursing Pope Francis for causing mammoth traffic jams during his visit a year ago, Duterte’s ratings fell.

He also has a running word war with former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, challenging the administration Liberal Party standard-bearer to a slapping or boxing match for disputing that Davao is one of the world’s safest cities.

Duterte is running on a platform of moving the country toward a federal system, wiping out criminals and drug lords, and eliminating corruption in government.
