2013 Senatorial race topnotcher, Senator Grace Poe is set to announce her plan to run for President of the Republic of the Philippines in 2016. Today’s move would pit the daughter of Fernando Poe Jr. against her ally in the Aquino Administration, DILG Secretary and former Senator, Mar Roxas who has been anointed to succeed President P-Noy. A Poe run for the Presidency would split the Aquino Administration coalition, the Liberal Party (headed by both President Aquino and Mar Roxas), the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC headed by Aquino uncle Danding Cojuangco), the Nationalista Party (which will not field a Presidential candidate) and other smaller political parties because of the weakness of Mar Roxas to win on the basis of acceptance and popularity surveys. Roxas has consistently lagged behind Vice President Binay (a declared Presidential candidate), Senator Grace Poe and Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte (who keeps everybody guessing as to his 2016 plans). Vice President Binay led all popularity surveys from many months back but Senator Poe edged the Vice President after graft and corruption allegations hounded him. He has, however, regained a slim lead based on a government TV station survey. Major polling companies have an all-important survey later this month, just prior to the filing of Certificates of Candidacy for elective positions in October, 2015.
ABS – CBN Channel 2 has been battered in the noontime television show ratings due to the phenomenal rise of GMA7 Yaya Dub for the past two months. The AlDub love team has left Kapamilya telenovela celebrities in the dust. In an effort to stop or at least slow down the AlDub popularity that is making even traditional DOS fans leave in droves to eagerly follow the developments of Kayle Serye (the Eat Bulaga segment that features Yaya Dub), Showtime introduced Pastillas Girl, the trash-talking, cigarette smoking bad ass to do ratings battle against the Maine (Mendoza, the real name of Yaya ub) attraction of Philippine television today.

Testing phase na po ang Showtime sa pantapat sa AlDub. Bagong mukha ang napili sapagkat yung mga mainstay love teams ng Kapamilya ay napagiwanan sa nga survey. Ano ang tingin nyo? Si Patillas Girl na ba talaga o ilalaglag din sha kung sakaling hindi pumatok at iba nanaman ang ihaharap sa kampeon? #Trending#YayaDub#AlDub#kalyeserye Please send friend request para makagawa tayo ng Yaya Dub fan page or group.

Dismayado ang AlDub Nation sa turing na mga BOBO sila mula sa walang pigil na BUNGANGA ng PALENGKERANG Kapamilya Jobert Sucaldito. Ayon sa mga Yaya Dub fanatics, wala sa lugar na inupakan sila dahil lamang sa paghanga nila sa Kalye Serye ng Eat Bulaga ng GMA7. Masama raw bang matuwa sa kapanipanibagong format (split screen) na naglunsad sa phenomenal AlDub love team. Batid naman ng AlDub Nation na ang punot-dulo ng labanan na ito ay ang RATINGS kung saan nakasalalay ang kapasidad na humakot ng ADVERTISERS at makakuha ng mas mataas na presyo ang mga programang pumapatok sa telebisyon. Dapat raw na lumaban ang ABS-CBN sa isang patas na paraan – magpasikat din sila ng kanilang programa at stars. Matagal din naman na nasa ulap ang mga Kapamilya shows at celebrities at malamang umabot na rin sa mga manonood ang SAWA factor, yung parepareho nalang na mga eksena na nagbigay naman ng pagkakataon para sa AlDub love team na itigil ang mundo para makapanood ng Kalye Serye. Doon naman sa sinabi ni Jobert na MALALAOS din ang AlDub at hindi na tatagal ang kasikatan nito ng isa pang buwan, para naman kasing gusto nyang BUMAGSAK, TUMUMBA at SUMADSAD sa ratings ang Kalye Serye, huwag naman sana. Hindi kasi gawain ng mga matitinong tao ang ipagdasal ang ikasasama ng mga kapwa tao. Mahirap naman talaga na maging NUMBER ONE FOREVER lalo pa sa matinding kompetisyon ng dalawang naglalakihang network pero ang dapat gawin ng lahat ng manonood ay lasapin nalang ang naibibigay na kasiyahan ng AlDub Nation at umasang manatili pa itong kaayaaya sa mas matagal pang panahon. #AlDub #AlDubNation #YayaDub #Trending #BreakingNews
Kapamilya Jobert Sucaldito called AlDub fans BOBO ( DUMB). He also predicted a CRASH in the AlDub ratings by next month.
Pinagiinsulto MISMO ng teleradyo host na si Jobert Sucaldito ang beauty ng AlDub Nation at tinawag pang mga BOBO (dumb o stupid) and mga fans ni Yaya Dub ng Kalye Serye sa Eat Bulaga. Maliwanag na nasasaktan ang Kapamilya network sa pagsikat ng AlDub at naaapektohan na ang ratings ng Channel 2 lalunglalo na ang kanilang noontime show na Showtime. Maski pa mga love teams ng ABS CBN (KathNiel) ay ngayo’y pumapangalawa nalang sa AlDub. Hindi maganda ang pagupak ni Jobert sapagkat nagbigay sha ng kurukuro tungkol sa kalaban na istasyon. Maliwanang na kakampihan nya ang mga Kapamilya nya pero pangit na bumanat sha sa kabilang istasyon at nilaitlait pa ang mga fans nito. Sapagkat hindi makahanap ang ABS CBN ng pangtapat sa AlDub at KalyeSerye, gumamamit nalang ito ng PANINIRA para pabaksakin ang kalaban. Nag mistulang propeta pa si Jobert sa pagbasa ng hinaharap. Sabi nya MALALAOS na raw ang AlDub sa susunod na buwan. Parating na ang pambansang halalan sa 2016 at nagpapahiwatig na ang mga pulitiko natin ng kakayanang PANINIRANG PURI (black propaganda), manawari na sa larangan ng showbiz na gawagawaan nalang ay hindi na pasukin ng mga TALANGKA (crab mentality). Jobert, APOLOGY kaya ang ibigay mo sa mga AlDub FANS at tumigil ka na sa pagtataray mo laban Kalye Serye. Ganoon ka na ba ka DESPERADO na

NAGTATATALAK ka para tumaas ang RATING ng programa mo at ang mga celebs ng Kapamilya network?
ABS-CBN entertainment commentator Jobert Sucaldito is now the number one AlDub HATER. AlDub is the GMA7 love team that catapulted the Kapuso Network to the top. AlDub stands for Yaya Dub and Alden, characters in the Kalye Serye segment in the noontime show Eat Bulaga. Channel 2 was caught completely flatfooted by the PHENOMENAL AlDub Nation and, up to this point, has not mounted an effective counter-attack in terms of new rising stars, shows or program segments. A direct attack by Sucaldito against the AlDub duo could be a calculated move to lessen the great impact and acceptance that AlDub is currently reaping. Sucaldito called AlDub fans BOBO (low mental status or intellectually challenged). He also predicted that AlDub would not be around anymore by next month due to diminished ratings.

Lagpas 24 na oras na ang pagtitipon ng mga kasapi ng Iglesia Ni Cristo sa opisina ng Department of Justice sa Padre Faura, Maynila. Mula ng mass acton kahapon ng hapon, nagpalipas ng gabi ang mga nagpoprotesta at hindi pa rin lumilisan. Bilang patunay na tatagal pa sila sa lugar, nakakuha sila ng rally permit mula sa Lungsod Maynila na hanggang September 4, 2015 o isang linggo mula ngayon. 4,000 ang bilang ng nasa Padre Faura ngayon. Samantala, may ilang daang kapatid ng INC ang nasa mga mall sa tabi ng People Power Monument at EDSA Shrine. Sumusuporta daw sila sa mga nasa Padre Faura. Makasaysayan ang EDSA Shrine sapagkat ito ang naging sentro ng EDSA1 at EDSA2 People Power Revolution na naging sanhi ng pagbagsak ng Pamahalaang Marcos nuong 1986 at ng Pamahalaang Estrada nuong 2001. Nagkaroon din ng pagtangkang EDSA3 nuong 2001 bilang suporta sa napatalsik na Presidente Estrada ngunit hindi nagtagumpay ang pagkilos at hindi naibalik sa pagkaluklok si Erap.
Maliwanag na dahil papasok ang Pilipinas sa isang long weekend, sapagkat holiday ang Lunes, hindi madali mangakit ng sasali sa kilos protesta. Makikita dito ang dami, lakas at disiplina ng Iglesia Ni Cristo kung kakayanin nilang makalagpas ng Sabado, Linggo at Lunes na lalo pang dumarami. Sa papasok na Linggo, umaasa naman ang Iglesia ni Cristo na may sasali sa kamilang protesta mula sa hanay ng hindi nila kasamahan sa INC. Ang mga pwersang maaring umanib sa protesta ay ang Simbahang Katolika o/at ang El Shaddai na pinamumunuan ni Brother Mike Velarde. Masama ang loob ng Simbahang Katolika dahil sa pagpasa ng Reproductive Health Bill na pinaniniwalaan ng mga saradong Katoliko na labag sa Batas ng Diyos. Si Mike Velarde naman ay malapit sa pamunuan ng Iglesia ni Cristo at pamilyang Manalo.
Umaasa rin ang Iglesia Ni Cristo na kapag lumawak ang partisipasyon ng mga mamamayan sa protestang INC, sasali rin ang mga tinatawag na political opposition kasama na ang mga tauhan ng mga dating Pangulong Estrada at Macapagal Arroyo. Aanyayahan din lumahok ang mga matinding kalaban ng Pamahalaang Aquino na nasa grupo ng mga makakaliwa. Kagaya ng dalawang nagtagumpay na People Power ang huling elemento na makakapagpabagsak ng kasalukuyang pamahalaan ay manggagaling mismo sa hanay ng gobyerno kung saan sa Armed Forces of the Philippines nagumpisa ang EDSA1 at kung saan naman nagtapos ang EDS2. Ngayon, ang grupong may tinatagong matinding galit laban sa pamahalaan ay nasa ilalim mismo ng ilong ni DILG Secretary Mar Roxas. Ito ay ang Philippine National Police o PNP na na under sa DILG kung saan si Roxas ang pinuno. Masama ang loob ng PNP dahil sa kapalpakan sa nangyaring trahedya sa SAF 44. Matapos namatayan ang PNP, hindi pa sila nabigyan ng parangal sa State of the Nation Address 2015. Hindi pa nagtapos sa deadma ang SAF 44, tnanggal pa ang mural nila sa sarili nilang kampo. Tapos nito, inalis pa sa listahan ng mga paparangalan ng PNP ang mga bayaning SAF.
Kasalukuyang may kilos protesta ang mga kasapi ng INC sa Department of Justice national office ukol sa paniniwala nilang panggigipit sa kanilang simbahan at pamunuan dala ng pagkatiwalag nila sa mga miembro ng pamilyang Manalo at mga ministro.
Kasalukuyang may kilos protesta ang Iglesia ni Cristo sa Department of Justice national office. Ang mga kapatid ay nagpapahatid ng pagkadismaya sa mga kilos at imbestigasyon ni Justice Secretary Leila de Lima ukol sa nangyaring pagkatiwalag sa ilang kasapi ng pamilyang Manalo at ilang ministro ng simbahan. Ilan sa mga natiwalag ay nagsampa ng kaso laban sa pamunuan ng Iglesia kung saan isinangkot ang punong tagapangasiwa na si Eduardo Manalo. Nangangamba ang mga kapatid na maaring damputin si Eduardo batay sa sinampang serious illegal detention case kung saan WALANG PIYANSA (NO BAIL) na maaring bayaran para sa pansamantalang paglaya. Ilang political analysts ay nagpapahiwatig ng opinyon na mainit ang Administrasyong Aquino sa Iglesia ni Cristo sapagkat naniniwala si P-Noy na HINDI susuportahan ng INC ang manok ng Liberal Party na si DILG Secretary Mar Roxas na nabasbasan na ng Presidente na maging standard bearer ng LP sa halalan sa 2016 para sa Pangulo ng Pilipinas. Maari ring lumakas ang paksyon ng mga natiwalag na mga Manalo at mga ministro na magdudulot ng pagkahati sa INC kasama na ang pagkalito ng mga kapatid kung sino ang kandidatong

susuportahan. Ang napili ba ni Eduardo ay dadalhin ng buong kasapian habang siya ay nakakulong o may bumoto ba sa manok ng Administrasyong Aquino na susuportahan naman ng mga tiwalag na pamilyang Manalo at mga ministro?

SENATOR Antonio Trillanes IV said Monday he was ready to face an ethics investigation over reports that he paid P1.63 million a month for consultants that included his houseboy, family drivers, media workers, campaign doners, ex-mutineer friends and a brother, who was paid P71,200 a month.
“I would welcome whoever will file the charges,” Trillanes told journalists, after the camp of Vice President Jejomar Binay urged the Senate ethics committee to investigate his hiring of consultants.
“The use of public funds for his personal benefit is clearly unethical, immoral and a blatant abuse of his office,” said Rico Quicho, Binay’s spokesman for political affairs. “The taxpayers are paying for his household expenses and his personal ‘debts’.”
Probers welcome. Senator Antonio Trillanes IV talks to a colleague on the floor of the Senate hall before the start of Monday’s regular session. ey acasio
“Even his houseboy was included among his consultants. He should stop moralizing and pontificating since the more he talks, the more he is exposed as a hypocrite. We are sure he will again blame the opposition for the exposé. But we did not invent the Senate documents. The senator should explain before he complains,” Quicho added.
Trillanes on Monday accused Binay of being behind the “demolition job” against him and said his office’s consultancy fees were declared “authorized and legal” by the Commission on Audit (COA).
He also insisted that he had committed no irregularity in paying consultancy fees to persons who helped him discharge his duties as a senator.
He admitted that a large chunk of his office expenses in 2014 went to intelligence gathering by his consultants, who included his colleagues at the Magdalo group.
“Of course, you will not hire consultants whom you do not trust,” he said.
These were the people he used to gather information and evidence used in the Senate Blue Ribbon hearings on the corruption charges against Binay and his family.
He earlier said he hired his brother as a consultant because he represents him in confidential meetings that he is unable to attend.
Trillanes also said he has received no notice of disallowance from COA.
“All we’re doing is authorized and legal based on the guidelines provided by COA,” he said.
He said that the senators sat with auditors and asked what mistakes were made and how these might be remedied.
“But COA said there was nothing illegal or unauthorized in what we are doing because we were given the discretion on how to spend our budget,” he said.
He said he can answer point by point all the allegations being made against him in connection with his consultants.
“The bottom line here is I did not steal government funds. I did not abuse my position,” he said.
He also denied allegations that he had a household help being paid with funds from the Senate.
He said the names mentioned in the Senate report were confidential agents that he used in the ongoing investigation of the Vice President.
“That’s not true. Definitely, there’s no such thing and I don’t give that low pay—P3,500 a month to my kasambahay (househodl help),” he said.
He also denied that he allocated more than half of his office’s budget to consultancy fees.
“The point here is we are spending the funds where we believe they’re needed,” Trillanes said.
The former mutineer said he was “prepared for everything” and was ready to answer all the charges being raised against him.
Trillanes has led the Senate investigation against Binay, and has held 23 hearings on the ongoing probe.
Trillanes also said the Binay camp should not be the one to suggest an ethics investigation against him, because “they have no balls.”
“They have no balls to face the Senate investigation,” he said, referring to Binay’s refusal to appear before the Senate Blue Ribbon subcommittee investigating him. “Vice President Binay has no balls. He’s courageous in operating, but when it’s face-to-face, he’s nothing,” Trillanes said.
But Quicho challenged Trillanes to explain how doing housework or being a family driver was considered confidential.
“It appears that Senator Trillanes took the concept of the Senate as one of two houses of Congress literally,” Quicho said. “He apparently got his budget for his house from the Upper House, also known as the Senate.”
He also scored Trillanes for using Senate funds to reward two people—Robert Fong and Fabian Go– who contributed P500,000 each to his campaign in 2013.
The STUPID, INSENSITIVE and ARROGANT Liberal Party Administration again displayed its amazing and exemplary ability to make life difficult for the toiling masses, this time picking on our modern day “heroes”, the OFWs (overseas Filipino workers). Balikbayan boxes are now subjected to inspection and increased fees, not yet counting whatever amounts that would be collected from taxes and customs duties depending on the contents. Note: Biglang kumambyo ang mga hayop. Natakot sa galit ng mamamayan. http://balitangbalita.com/2015/08/24/balikbayan-box-fiasco-stupid-insensitive-and-arrogant-lp-administration/

The Liberal Party Administration is again the subject of controversy as balikbayan boxes are subjected to increased fees and inspection. OFWs are calling for ZERO votes for the Liberal Party in the upcoming 2016 presidential elections.
