Is the LP serious about eradicating graft and corruption? Wangwangg is the symbol of abuse of power. Eradicating abuse does not end by the simple example of getting the wangwang out of the vehicles. It is about the ability to eradicate the ability to misuse of the funds supposedly intended for the people. Was it not that GMA was able to abuse the people because she used the pork as a bait and a bribe to legislators, who in turn abuse their own powers by raiding the coffers of the government via the same pork barrel? Where will trapos ever recoup the tremendous expense to buy out votes in the elections if not for the same pork? The biblical way of helping your brother is not to give him fish nor pork. It is by teaching him how to catch fish. The role of the legislator is examine the budget presented by the executive department to help the people help themselves. The role of the government was never to give dole outs which will only perpetuate the culture of patronage politics. The House is not in order and we have a reason to protest. The return of pork, pigs and wangwang in the House is now seen by the exodus and swearing in of former GMA loyalists (who junked the Hello Garci scandal investigation) to the LP . Why should those Congressmen ever be loyal to GMA without the pork? Why should they be loyal to President Aquino without the same pork? The loyalty is not about the presidency nor the party but about access to the pork. Scrap the pork and scrutinize every budget line by line and you will have eradicated pigs and corruption in the House. Scrap the pork and you will have prevented unlimited junkets abroad by these pigs in the House. How will President Aquino prosecute the crooks now joining his own party if membership is devoid of screening and done in a manner like changing diapers? We were supposed to line up a program of projects properly debated by Congress. How will pork ever be properly programmed to solve poverty and employment problems if it is prepared at the sole prerogative of the same shameless Congressmen now bragging to be new members of the LP? This party is supposed to promise reform in the government. You can prepare pork adobo, baby back ribs, barbecue, etc. but it is still the same pork. The truth of the matter is that the LP has done a great disservice to the country by playing the same politics of tradition and convenience. It shall have forgotten it's duty to listen to the people about what they truly need. Forget about the legislative agenda of the people and the President. It is still the same pork and pig system and nobody needs a debate in the House. Only a division of spoils. Tell me, who is the boss? The pigs or the people? If it is the people, then listen to them for a national program of government which are designed to improve the lives of the people and not haphazardly prepared projects of congressmen designed to please constituents and win votes via patronage with corruption always practiced by identifying favored contractors. For how can transparency be possible if the contract is already done lotong Macao? For how can line departments at the DPWH refuse partymates of the LP and the card bearing allies of the President? Think LP, think. This country is not devoid of good talents but talents are wasted because you surrender the membership of the party to the same allies of GMA, the same perpetrators of a corrupt regime which plundered this nation for too long a time. If we really wanted change, we should have been wary about the way the government funds have been plundered and wasted and we know that it was done the way of pork and pigs. If we really wanted change, then we must put an end to elective officials who were a part of the plunder and abuse of politicians allied to the previous regime. The LP may have forgotten but we have not forgotten. if they did, then the amnesia about the sins committed against the people which Noynoy promised not to forget is now plain and shameful lip service. WHY? DO WE REALLY THINK GMA DID THOSE THINGS ALL BY HER LONESOME? Common, have we not learned from the experience of the return Marcos loyalists in the Cory administration? The next order of battle for the LP are these loyalists of GMA in the 2013 elections, so who will you go against then, later if not for those who genuinely wanted change on the leadership in the next local elections? We are not finished with trapos and we are not finished with scrutinizing even the party we entrusted to help the President. There is hope for the country and the LP though, if we learn to be vigilant.There is a fragrance for change in the air, but we will never be able to keep it if we simply sleep all day long because the devil is just there waiting for the next false move. There is a need therefore, to claim our price for attempting to dream for reform in the government. The price means our voices to be heard because we, the people are sovereign. Let not Noynoy believe that he has no defenders in us in case that House attempt to threaten him with impeachment to get the pork that they want. The pork is the peoples money and the people needs a legitimate program and a debate to know where and how it is going to be spent. Noynoy needs to listen to the people first, consolidate their voices and make a program and submit such program for debate in the House. No shortcuts please. Let the House make an intelligent debate so we can participate through public hearings and in Noynoy's inaguration promise of creating a system of consultation and feedback. "They are not the Boss. We are the Boss.", Noynoy claimed. So why should the Boss be at the mercy of the autocratic discretion of these legislators, who cannot be trusted in the first place? We cannot be too shortsighted and the name of the game is eternal vigilance. Tuloy ang Laban! If the LP choose those crooks now, then let the LP be the enemy. Start small, think big. Keep the faith, make the difference. Kaya ng Dios, Kaya Natin!

The late Gov. Faustino Dy Sr. was the one who helped Grace Padaca's father to be promoted as Dist. Supervisor of Cauayan South Central School even if he was a drunkard. 2. The late Gov. Faustino Dy Sr. was also the one who helped Grace Padaca's family to bring back to Cauayan her father's remains after he died. 3. Gov. Benjamin Dy on the other hand, was the one who helped "Bombo Grace" to get out from being imprisoned from a libel case. 4. Newly-elected Gov. Faustino Dy III was the one who helped Grace Padaca's brother, Marlo Padaca from his ESTAFA CASES. He was the one who paid the complainant so that the case against Marlo Padaca would be withdrawn. Don't judge the Dy's by Padaca's statements. Ask her about this. apo_isabelino88 on "Gubernatorial Debate of Grace Padaca and Newly-Elected Gov.

Ako po si Cong Faustino “Bojie” Dy, tumatakbong gobernador ng ating mahal na lalawigan ng Isabela. Naniniwala po na kahit sinong gustong maglingkod bayan ay walang ibang hangad, kundi makita ang kaunlaran ng kanyang nasasakupan. Bilang Punong Barangay noong taong 1989 hanggang 1992, ang amin pong barangay ng District 1 ay nakatanggap ng pinakamataas na parangal – The Most Outstanding Lupong Tagapamayapa ng buong Pilipinas. Bilang isang Punong Bayan naman po sa isang Class C municipality. Dahil po sa pagkakaisa ng atin pong mga mamamayan, naging lungsod ang bayan po ng Cauayan. Bilang congressman ng ikatlong distrito ng Isabela, lahat ng bayan at barangay ay napagkalooban ng nararapat na serbisyo. Bawat barangay ay napaglalaanan ng pinakamababa na isang daang libong piso bawat isang kada taon para sa kanilang mga priority projects. Sa pamamagitan din ng pagkakaisa at pagtutulungan sa ikatlong distrito, nakamit ang mga serbisyong pang-agrikultura, edukasyon, livelihood, imprastraktura at pangkalusugan. Dagdag pa ang 100% energization ng buong distrito. Bilang tugon sa paghamon ng panahon, programang agrikultura, edukasyon, kabuhayan, imprastraktura, social services at pangkalusugan sa 1,018 barangays sa buong lalawigan. Napakahalaga ng kalusugan ng bawat isa. Kaya po, dapat po nating ibalik ang serbisyong libreng gamot sa atin pong mga health centers, district at provincial hospital. Action Desk sa lahat ng pampublikong hospital para sa financial assistance sa mga pasyenteng lubos na nangangailangan mula sa P1,000 hanggang P2,000. Dahil sa tunay na pagkakaisa, dumating ang irigasyon, magagarang lansangan at tulay, koryente sa bawat sulok ng lalawigan, at kinikilala at pinaparangalan ang lalawigan dahil sa tagumpay ng atin pong pagsisikap. Nailagay ang probinsiya ng Isabela bilang panglima na pinakamaunlad sa buong bansa noong panahon ng panunungkulan ni apo Governor Junior Dy. Ang pangarap po namin ni Cong Rodito Albano ay ibalik ang sigla dito po sa ating lalawigan ng Isabela. GRACE PADACA: Salamat Karina. Magandang gabi Fr Florman. Magandang gabi Bojie Dy. Naimbag nga rabii, apo Isabelino. Kung plataporma ang pag-uusapan, ipagpapatuloy po natin ang mga sa wakas ay naibigay ng serbisyo sa mga apo Isabelino, magmula noong lumaya ang kapitolyo mula sa dinastiya. Una, ang kapakanan ng ating mga magsasaka. Napatunayan ko na po na ang pagtutok sa inyo ang aking prioridad. Itong anim na taon ko bilang gobernador, bawat anihan ay nagbibigay kami ng Price Subsidy o dagdag na presyo sa NFA hanggang tatlong piso bawat kilo ng palay at mais. Never din po na hinarang namin ang mga biyahero mula sa ibang probinsiya. Open at hindi bawal na pumasok sila dito dahil never rin na minolistiya ko ang kahit sinumang rice trader o financier o negosyante, kaya ang kalayaan ng mga magsasaka sa Isabela ay kalayaan na rin ng mga negosyante. Bukambibig ko ang “Apo Isabelino”, at hindi lamang po yon slogan. Dahil bukod sa mga kapitan sa barangay ay kapantay ko ring binibigyan ng importansiya at direktang nakakaugnayan at napagsisilbihan ang mga RIC, IGLO at iba pang grupong kababaihan, senior citizens, kabataan, mga estudyante, OFW, guro, tricycle drivers, market vendors, mga NGO at iba pa. Ang tawag ko dito ay “people empowerment”. Hindi lang mga politiko, empowerment po ng mga ordinaryong Isabelino. Mga pautang sa livelihood na walang interest, pagbibigay ng libreng PhilHealth cards sa mga mahihirap, ang ating comprehensive health program, mga scholarship programs at financial assistance. Ang ating anti-logging campaign at siyempre ang ating Ugnayang Bayan para sa mga proyektong kalsada sa barangay, mga paaralan at iba pa. Higit sa lahat ng ito ay ang malinis pamamahala na walang palakasan, walang kurakutan, walang kickback o komisyon, kung kaya’t ang pera ng probinsiya ay naaalagaan, kaya’t nabayaran na ang karamihan sa bilyong utang ng mga dynasty na namana ko, at hindi ko na kayo iniutang pa. At siyempre, meron tayong sapat na pondo para sa ating mga malaking projects at kung may kailangan ay hindi tayo pulubi na aasa na lamang sa iba. Ito po ang buod ng ating mga nagawa na at itutuloy pa, para sa Bravo Isabelino, Forward Isabela. UNANG KATANUNGAN NI BOMBO KARINA KAY BOJIE DY BOMBO KARINA: You mentioned sa opening statement nyo po kanina na noong kayo ay barangay kapitan, nagawa nyong most peaceful barangay, yan po ay sa barangay level. Tapos later, naging mayor po kayo, at naging kongresista. Papaano nyo po kaya magagamit ang mga experience nyo bilang kapitan, mayor – ang binanggit nyo sa accomplishment nyo bilang mayor ng Cauayan ay naging city ang Cauayan. Tapos yong sa pagiging kongresista ninyo, of course alam ho natin na ang Congress, legislative po ‘yon. Papaano po kayo pupunta para sa mas malawak na executive BOJIE DY: Katulad ng nakalagay diyan, ako’y nagsilbi bilang Kabataang Barangay at Punong Barangay. Alam nyo naman po ang function ng barangay captain, tatlo po ang function niyan, unang-una executive; kami rin po ang nagpre-preside, meron ding legislative; at kami rin po’y namumuno ng barangay justice at judiciary. Pagdating naman po, ang ating karanasan bilang Punong Bayan, wala pong ipinag-iba yan sa pagiging gobernador ng ating lalawigan ng Isabela, sapagkat parehas halos ang functions. Ang diperensiya lamang po niyan, ‘yong sinasakupang lugar at iyong iba pang tungkulin bilang gobernador. Subalit, makikita mo, dahil sa tiwala at samahan, at pagkakaisa ng ating lungsod ng Cauayan na kung bakit naman, from third Class, naging first class at naging lungsod ang ating bayan ng Cauayan, sapagkat ‘yong tiwala po nila sa ating paninilbihan – yong mga balanseng programa na atin pong ipaabot na habang tayo ay nanunungkulan bilang ama ng ating bayan ng Cauayan UNANG KATANUNGA NI BOMBO KARINA KAY GRACE PADACA BOMBO KARINA: Governor Grace Padaca, sa una nyong sinabi rin, mga unang statement nyo, actually marami ng kuwan doon e, kumbaga patutsada sa kaharap nyo ngayon. Gusto kong kunin yong sinabi nyo kanina, na never na hinarang ang mga pumunta rito para bumili ng mga produkto ng mga magsasaka, so yong ginawa nyo na ‘yan ay kalayaan ng mga magsasaka at kalayaan din ng mga negosyante. Pero yong mga diin ng pagbigkas ninyo ay mukhang mas malalim pa ang ibig sabihin kaysa yong talagang words being used. Ano po ang ibig nyong sabihin noon. Meron bang noong nakaraan ay nahaharang ang mga negosyante sa probinsiya ng Isabela? GRACE PADACA: Bago pa man ako naging gobernador Karina, bilang isang broadcast journalist dati ay ito yong ilan sa mga feedbacks na aking natatanggap noon at kahit noong ako ay naging kandidato na. Una, noong kandidato ako sa pagka-congressman noong 2001, and pati na rin noong una akong tumakbo sa pagka gobernador na dahil prinoproteksiyunan ang ilang mga negosyante dito sa loob ng probinsiya ay hinaharang ang mga biyahero mula sa Bulacan at iba pang mga lalawigan na makapunta dito, nga isu pay kuma apo nga gumatang iti napinpintas nga presyo para kadagiti apo manalon. Idi umunaak nga nag-gobernador ket, I set the signal to everyone na lahat ay pwedeng pumasok dito kasi wala akong prinoproteksiyunang negosyante dahil ‘pag ako’y nangangampanya ay tipid na tipid at wala po akong kinukunan ng campaign funds para kailangan ko silang bayaran pagkatapos, bayaran ng utang na loob o bayaran ng kampanya at anuman at walang protectionism sa kanila. At makikita sinumang negosyante dito sa Isabela, anim na taon na akong gobernador, wala ni isa man sa kanila ang makapagsasabi humingi ako ng anuman, nagpunta ako sa kanila na para akong may itinago na mag-iisyu ako ng post dated checks. Ito lahat ‘yong mga nakakasakal sa mga negosyante na in turn, dahil pinapautang nila ‘yong mga magsasaka, iyon na rin ang nakakasakal sa kanilang mga proseso sa mga magsasaka. So yon ang ibig kong sabihin sa aking sinabi tungkol sa kalayaan ng mga negosyante sa ating lalawigan ng Isabela. REBBUTAL BOJIE DY: Hindi ba pwedeng mag-rebbutal o magsalita man lang tungkol sa isyu na ‘yan. BOMBO KARINA: Sige po, take it away, 1 minute for Cong Bojie Dy BOJIE DY: Siguro naman, kung titingnan natin ang kasaysayan ng ating lalawigan ng Isabela, kailanman ay nakikita natin kung papaano po mangalakal ang sinuman sa ating lalawigan ng Isabela. Ang dami pong pumapasok dito sa ating lalawigan, sapagkat nakita nila kung gaano kayaman at kalawak ang ating lalawigan, lalong-lalo na kung pag-uusapan natin ang agrikultura. Alam natin na dito sa ating lalawigan ng Isabela, ang isang naghihikayat ay ‘yong ating pagkakaisa, ‘yong maayos at matahimik na ating lalawigan ng Isabela. Ngayong gabi, akala ko kasi, yong mga nadidinig dinig ko lamang na talagang, para bang idinidiin at sinisisi ni Grace Padaca ang mga pagpipigil daw. Ang pinakamaganda sa lahat, sabihin mo na kung sino o sinong involved o sinong traders, kasi according to you, feedback. So walang basehan. Kung meron kang basehan, sabihin mo na, para sa ganoon malaman natin kung talagang protector nga, o kaya nagbabawal. (BUZZ) BOMBO KARINA: Thank you congressman. Yes, Governor, 1 minute din po. GRACE PADACA: Ikaw naman Bojie, kapag kinukutungan nyo ang mga negosyante, meron bang lalabas na magpru-pruweba diyan. Kayo-kayo na lang nakakaalam. Tanungin mo na lang sa konsensiya mo, Bogie BOJIE DY: Pinakamaganda siguro Grace, GRACE PADACA: May 1 minute pa ako BOMBO KARINA: Patapusin nyo lang po si Governor GRACE PADACA: So dapat ganoon e. Kung ano man yong inyong. Konsensiya mo na lang ang sumagot niyan. At saka alam ko maraming nakikinig sa atin ngayong mga negosyante, baka may makasalubong ka lang diyan, sa Cauayan, sa Cabatuan, kung hindi man ikaw, dito rin sa Cauayan, ay ang pamilya nyo, kasi malaki kayong pamilya, ang tagal nyo sa kapangyarihan. Hindi mangyayaring wala kayong nasasagasaang ganyan, na dito nga sa Cauayan… MAGKAPAREHONG KATANUNGAN PARA SA DALAWANG MAGKATUNGGALI BOMBO KARINA: Ang tanong ko, sasagutin nilang dalawa, tanong ko dahil medyo mainit na, this is the second time na magkalaban po kayo sa politika. The first time was in 2001, for congressional district 3. So later parehas kayong tumakbo sa ibang posisyon na po. Pero ngayon, kumbaga, second bout. Karugtong sa tanong ko na ‘yan, may kaugnayan naman sa mga sinasabi sa cheating sa halalan.Meron din akong gustong itanong din doon dahil noong 2001, sabi ni Gov Grace Padaca, nadaya siya noon. Tapos nitong last na election, ang nakalaban naman ni Gov Grace ay si brother nyo po, na si former Governor Ben Dy. Tapos may isyu rin ng election fraud. Sa ngayon at kayo ay nanditong dalawa, maganda siguro na pag-usapan ninyo yon at kayo mismong dalawa ay magkalaban ngayon. Meron bang lalabas pa rin na isyu ng kaya election fraud kaya ngayon, at kayo ay magkatunggali. Medyo magulo ‘yong tanong ko. So una, how are you feeling for the second time, and saka yong isyu ng election fraud. BOJIE DY: Unang-una sa lahat, ito’y aming pangalawang paghaharap ni Binibining Grace Padaca. At tungkol naman kung pag-uusapan natin tungkol nitong electoral fraud na nangyari na katulad ng binebentang ni Binibining Grace Padaca. Katunayan niyan, noong December 8 na year 2009, sino ba ang nagkaroon ng Decision ng COMELEC tungkol sa pandaraya tungkol sa mga halalan. Si Binibining Grace Padaca ay nabigyan naman ng pagkakataon noong 2001 na iharap ang kanyang kaso sa HRET. Subalit, ang desisyon na lumabas ay ako pa rin ang nanalo at wala namang kadudaduda tungkol sa mga pangyayaring ginawa ni Governor Grace habang itong election ng 2007. Kaya nga pinpointed kaagad ng mga grupo ni Governor Ben Dy kung saan ‘yong mga nangyaring may mga pandaraya noong nakaraang halalan. GRACE PADACA: Unang pinag-uusapan natin dito ‘yong tungkol sa 2001 kung saan nai-proclaim ka Bogie ng madaling araw with a margin of 2,000. Noong pinalit-palitan nyo ang boto sa Angadanan, Isabela at dinagdagan ang boto mo. Ako’y nagdemanda sa Tribunal, in the end nakita na talagang dinagdagan ang mga boto mo, kaya binawas-bawasan nila yong mga naidagdag na boto hanggang bumaba sa 48 yong lamang mo daw. Pero dahil marami kayong kakampi, mayaman kayo, makapangyarihan kayo, ini-impluwensiyahan ninyo ang mga Tribunal members, kaya hindi nila binilang ang 150 votes para sa akin. Merong separate opinion doon si Supreme Court Justice Jose Vitug na ako dapat ang nai-proclaim. Actually, you are good for one more term Bogie e, kasi yong unang term mo, akin dapat ‘yon. Inagaw mo lang. Kayo ang kilala sa pandaraya, hindi lang sa akin, kundi sa lahat ng mga konsehal, lahat na sanang naiproklamang mayor noong panahon ng tatay mo, noong panahon ng mga kapatid mo. Lahat. Hindi lang ako ang naging biktima ng inyong electoral fraud. E, sinong maniniwala na ako si Grace, ako ang kayang mandaya sa ‘yo o kay Benjamin Dy, samantalang kayo ang sanay. Kayo ang magaling sa COMELEC. Hanggang ngayon, ngayon ang dami-dami nyong binabayarang mga boto. Halos lahat ng makasalubong nyo, binibigyan nyo ng pera. Tapos yong mga tao nyo sa Angadanan, at kung saan ay napaka-terorista. Sino ang may reputasyong ganoon sa ating lalawigan ng Isabela – sa ‘yo o ako? BOJIE DY: Alam mo, sa dami ng sinabi ni Binibining Grace Padaca, unang-una, sino ba ‘yong ngayong huli na lamang, ang pagbibigay pati ng bigas na ginagamit ang calamity fund. (Applause from outside the booth) Ito’y indirect vote buying. Pangalawa, ‘yong paghahabol ng mga pondo sa mga bara-barangay na alam natin na noon pa lamang 3 years ago, mga nakabinbin na mga request at resolution, na kung kelan naghahabol ang provincial government sa pagbibigay ng mga pondo na ang ito P60,000 mga cash assistance sa bawat mga barangay. At hindi lamang po ‘yon, kung ang expertise o sinasabi ni Binibining Grace Padaca, ang pandaraya ng pamilyang Dy, e di sana walang natatalong miyembro ng pamilya na tumatakbo sa halalan. BOMBO KARINA: For all our kasama diyan sa labas, iwasan ho sana nating mangantiyaw ha. Kasi in the first place, ang panuntunan dapat ngayon ng Bombo Radyo, isa lang ang kasama ng mga kandidato dito. So, we will be constrained to, paalisin kayo lahat diyan kung hindi kayo mag-behave. Sana klaro. And now, Gov Padaca please GRACE PADACA: Yong mga pumalakpak na ‘yon puro sa kanya e, noong sinabi yong pamimigay ng bigas. Alam nyo, ako kasi lagi akong sumusunod sa batas. Kahit na mayroong deadline, marami pa sana kaming kailangang tulungan na nabiktima ng drought, pero dahil naabutan na kami ng election period noong March 26, kailangan na naming itigil kasi iyon ay bawal sa batas, ang pamimigay ng bigas. Kaya, we coordinated with the DSWD, sa Red Cross, para kahit pera ng kapitolyo ang pinambili sa mga bigas, sila ang magbigay, para hindi kami. Pero anong nangyayari ngayon? Right within the electoral period, nandoon ako sa Batong Labang kahapon, nakita ko ‘yong Barangay Bangag, namimigay ng bigas yong mga taga ILAW na miyembro nila, na right in this election at kahit na sino ang barangay, ang daming namimigay ng bigas ngayon na galing sa kanila. Silang illegal. BOMBO KARINA: Briefly, Cong Bojie Dy BOJIE DY: Karagdagan ito doon sa sinasabi ni Binibining Grace Padaca sa pagdi-distribute ng kanilang bigas. Naging mas mabilis sana kung ito’y ang pinagkakatiwalaan ng ating bayan ang namumuno sa pagbibigay, iniwan na kaagad sana dapat yan sa mga local government unit sa mga DSWD, at lalo na ‘yong mga agriculturist natin para ma-determine kaagad kung sino yong mga naapektuhan ng El Nino. Subalit, ang dami pong mga bayan ang pinagbigyan ‘yong mga kandidato na meron pang nasa loob ng mga pangalan ng mga kandidato katulad noong nakita at nahuli doon sa bayan ng San Mariano. Makikita mo na talagang ginagamit ito ng pampolitiko at hindi talaga ang kalooban nila na para tumulong na naapektuhan ng El Nino. (Buzz) GRACE PADACA: Alam nyo kasi, kahit naman kayo Bojie e, ipagkakatiwala mo ba sa mga mayor na wala ng ibang ginawa kundi salbahiin ka bilang gobernador ang mga programa mo, ipagkakatiwala mo ba sa kanila ang mga bigas na ‘yon right within the critical time. Yon kasi ang hirap. Kasi ang dami sa mga kasama mong mga mayor, na inilalason nyo ang isip na ayaw makipag-cooperate sa akin, ayaw makipag-real property tax remittance sa akin. Can you expect me Bojie na si Pol Dy, ipamamahala ko siya ng rice distribution. E di sinalaula lang niya. Can you expect me to trust Bentot Panganiban na siya ang mag-distribute ng project ni Grace Padaca. Alam mo, makatarungan ako, pero hindi ako *****, ha. Na kaya kung tumulong sa tao, pero hindi ako magpapagamit sa mga taong magtuturing sa akin ng masama. (Buzz) BOMBO KARINA: I don’t know if, are you going to answer for and behalf Cong Bojie Dy, ng mga mayor na nasagasaan. Mukhang hindi naman ho sa inyo ‘yon, kundi mga mayor naman. BOJIE DY: Ang sa akin lamang ‘yong dapat na tamang paraan, kasi meron naman tayong institusyon na mga local government. Kung pagkakatiwalaan mo sila, kasi sila naman yong halal ng ating mga mamamayan sa kanilang mga lugar. At ang maganda nito, kung hinamon siguro ni Binibining Grace Padaca na merong sharing ‘no, mas marami siguro. Kasi may pondo rin naman yong local government unit, may pondo rin naman siya. Siguro mas maganda at malalaman kaagad, makakarating kaagad kung tulong lamang ang pinag-uusapan sa mga naaapektuhan nating mga barangay. Ang problema, hindi man lang niya kasi sinubukan na tinap. Kasi pagka oras ng kalamidad, dapat tama na ang politika. Dapat huwag tayong mamolitika. Pag oras ng kalamidad, dapat sama-sama tayo, tulong-tulong tayo, damayan natin ang mga naapektuhan ng El Nino. BOMBO KARINA: I guess, nasagot naman na yon ni governor kanina, di ba governor dahil sinabi mo, hindi mo nga pagkakatiwalaan yong mga yon e. So hindi. GRACE PADACA: Sige na, para makarami tayo. BOMBO KARINA: Sa ngayon, bigyan natin si Fr Florman ng pagkakataon. Father, ano naman ang gustong itanong sa dalawa nating kandidato ngayong gabi FR FLORMAN CABAUATAN: Before asking, Good evening Governor, good evening Congressman, good evening Karina. Smile naman tayo. Habang tumatagal ang sagutan, sana huwag nating kalimutan ‘yong mga Isabelino na mga ka-probinsiya nating nagugutom ngayon, nagkukulang ng medisina, naghihirap sa buhay, dahil kaya nga tayo nandito para sa ating mga kaprobinsiya. So yan lang naman ang aking parang paying kapatid sa mga nag-uusap sa harap natin. Although nagagalak ako na lumalabas sa mga usapang ganito, para malantad ang dapat malaman ng lahat. KATANUNGAN NI FR CABAUATAN KAY GRACE PADACA FR FLORMAN CABAUATAN: Alam nyo po, Governor, usap-usapan yong maraming table o troso sa capitol. E, ano po ba ang pakinabang ng probinsya na mga Isabelino sa ginagawa po ninyong mahigpit na pagpapatupad ng logging natin dito sa probinsya? GRACE PADACA: Unang-una pong pakinabang diyan Father ay yong sa mga magsasaka, kasi nakita naman po natin ang epekto ng tagtuyot sa produkto ng mga nagtatanim ng palay at mais. At kapag tayo naman ay binabagyo, yong palaging pagbaha, kasi nga nawala na yong mga root systems ng ating mga punongkahoy sa Sierra Madre. Yan ang unang pakinabang. Ngayon kung ang tinutukoy nyo Father ay yong tungkol sa mga na-confiscate na logs, alam nyo po kasi nasa batas na hindi ko po sakop ang disposal nito, kundi ang DENR. Sila po ang magse-set ng auction, sila po ang magbebenta nito. Pero nagawa ko pong hilingin, alam nyo po Father, yong perang pagbebentahan, dapat din daw sa DENR. Kahit kami ang nakahuli, kahit kami ang gumastos, DENR dapat pupunta. Pero napakiusapan ko po si Secretary Reyes dati, at saka si Secretary Atienza later na please lang naman, na gastusan po namin ‘yong pag-operate ng Task Force, pwede bang ang proceeds na ‘yan ibalik nyo sa amin, para mai-continue namin na i-operate ang task force. So ganoon po ‘yon. Meron ng naunang auction at nakabenta po ng P6 million. Nasa coffers po ‘yan ng provincial government. And then, meron pa po, ang dami-dami sa gym. Kakailanganin po niya ng 180 ten-wheeler trucks, Father para lang mai-transport lahat ang mga ‘yon. At ‘yon din po ay up for sale, mineasure na ng DENR, pati rin ang COA, mas gusto nila ng complete list. Yon po ang ginawa namin before the DENR ay makapag-auction po uli. (Buzz) KATANUNGAN NI FR FLORMAN CABAUATAN KAY BOJIE DY FATHER FLORMAN CABAUTAN: Thank you, Governor. Natanong ko dahil isa sa pinakamainit na paksa sa buong mundo ngayon ay tungkol sa climate change, kasama na yong environmental concern na salamat naman at nagagawa nyo at inaasahan naming mapagpapatuloy. Pwede bang mapunta naman kay Cong Bojie Dy ang aking tatanungin. E, total ang itatanong ko naman – may pag-asa pa ba o may paraan na ang koryente na nanggagaling sa ating hydro ay bumaba naman ang singil kung ang mga taga Isabela ang gumagamit BOJIE DY: Unang-una po sa lahat Father, hindi na po natin kontrolado ang presyo, bagama’t ngayon ay, balita ko ay privately owned na ng Aboitiz at hanggang ngayon ay meron pa ring dispute kung saan pupunta ‘yong mga taxes na nakukuha rito. Pero ganoon pa man, alam po naman natin na ito’y dumadaan pa po sa main transmission line, bago po maibalik. Sayang po, Father hindi lang po sana Magat Dam, pwede po tayong mag-tap sana ng ating mga resources, balita ko po dito sa bayan ng San Mariano, iyong maliliit na hydroelectric na potential, o di kaya gagawa tayo ng mga renewable na energy na para sa ganoon ay ito po ay makatulong sa ating mga local electric cooperative. Alam nyo po, dito nga po sa ating lalawigan ng Isabela ay kailangan na kailangan po talaga na mapababa natin ang elektrisidad sapagkat kung gusto po nating dumami pa ang mga investors na nakikita naman natin na talaga pong patuloy na dumadami, pumapasok dito sa ating lalawigan ng Isabela, napakahalaga po, lalong-lalo na na nanggagaling po sa atin ang main source ng koryente dito sa Magat Dam na sana nga mapababa. FR FLORMAN CABAUATAN: Natanong ko kasi ito Congressman, dahil sa geothermal ng Tiwi, Albay, meron daw silang benefit na ganoon. Kung saan kinuha yong source ng energy, bibigyan din ng parang sa yong mga pinanggalingan. Kaya natanong ko, meron kaya tayong pamamaraan o pag-asa pa na magaya ring ganoon, bukod pa sa maganda rin maglagay tayo ng alternative sources of energy dahil sa Ilocos Norte yong wind power, solar power, ang dami-daming pagkukunan kung gusto natin e. GRACE PADACA: Can I add, informative naman ito. Hindi ko naman dinedebate si Bojie e. Tama naman yong sinabi niya na ito kasi Father, itong Hydro component, hindi pag-aari ng provincial government, kundi pag-aari ng national government. Kaya sila po, pag nagbebenta ng koryente, sa national grid. Pwede lang po tayong makinabang, maybe not directly sa pagbababa ng koryente, kasi they in turn sell it to the electric cooperatives. But meron pa tayong pakinabang in terms of sales taxes. Alam nyo po pag nagpunta po kayo sa Ramon, marami silang projects doon – pinapagawa yong kalsada nila, yon yong nagbibigay ng Resolution. Since we are in Isabela are the host of the hydro power plant, alongside with Ifugao, nakaka-receive tayo ng share ng sales tax, ng national wealth. So yon po ang pwedeng gamitin na halimbawa po ayusin yong irrigation canals na lang, kung pwede. Kaya lang may mga complications po ito, kasi hindi lamang provincial government po ang may sakop dito e, at hindi nga actually e, yes pati Ifugao. PAREHONG KATANUNGAN NI FR FLORMAN CABATUAN SA MAGKATUNGGALI FR FLORMAN CABATUAN: Sa kanilang dalawa, kasi magmula pa noong bata ako e, narinig ko na ‘yong mga magsasaka. Maganda ang ani, pangit ang ani, bumababa lalo ang presyo ng kanilang ani. Ano ba ang nakita nyong magagawa natin ng paraan pa ba ito o hindi na. GRACE PADACA: Yes, Father. Kaya nga po ‘yong una kong ginawa at iyon pa rin ang aking number one priority ngayon, that there should be some sort of intervention, hindi yong complain na lang ng complain ang mga magsasaka, ipangutang nila lahat, tapos pagdating ng ani ay masama. So, may intervention po kami na ginawa na dinadagdagan nga naming tuwing anihan ang presyo ng NFA para po tumaas. Ngayon po, binigyan namin ng pera ang NFA para yong P12.70 na presyo nila bawat kilo ng mais, maging P14.00 kada kilo. Totoo na hindi nila mabibili lahat, because NFA only gets 10% of the production. But it somehow, ito po’y itinataas niya na, naiimpluwensiyahan niya pataas ang presyo din po ng mga traders. I wish I could explain more, pero walang time. (Buzz) BOJIE DY: Para po sa akin Father, unang-una talaga, alamin natin kung anong problema ng ating farmers, magmula pa lamang sa land preparation, yong tulong nating suporta sa ating mga inputs. Lahat po dapat konektado yan para lalo po nating mapalakas. Kung kahit kelan mababa ang presyo, kung mababa naman po ‘yong ating mga inputs ay malaki pong tulong. Ang amin pong programa ni Cong Rodito Albano ay Price Support Program. Katulad po sa bansang Thailand na ginagawa ngayon. Kung halimbawa po, ang prevailing price ay P17.00 at P14.50 lamang po ang pagbili nito, ang diperensiya po nito, yong P3.50 ay kaagad ipapakita lamang po ‘yong resebo ng ating mga farmers kung saan po nila binenta yong produkto nila, maging mais o maging palay, diretso po na babayaran ang diperensiya na kaugnayan natin, na kasama natin ang Department of Agriculture, ganoon din po ang provincial government. (Buzz) FR FLORMAN CABATUAN: Thank you very much Governor. Thank you very much Congressman. Sana po ay sa lahat ng mga tumatakbo sa politika, sana tulungan kayo ng ating Panginoon na maliwanagan, lalo pa ang inyong mga mithiin, bigyan kayo ng kalusugan ng pangangatawan, dahil kailangan, at sabi ko nga sa aking mga sermon sa aking parokya sa Tumauini, alam nyo mas marami ang magluluksa pagkatapos ng election, dahil mas marami kasing kandidatong hindi mananalo e. So sana naman huwag hong ganoon. You all tried to serve our people and for that we are very grateful, we are very proud. Siguro sabi ng Panginoon, hindi mo pa time ngayon o tama na, or whatever. Sabi nga, let the will of the Lord be done. So good luck sa inyong dalawa, and may God bless you! BATUHAN NG TANONG NG DALAWANG MAGKATUNGGALI KARINA ZOBEL: Dalawang kandidato magtanungan sila. Sino kayang maunang magtanong. 2 minutes po ang pagsagot ng sasagot ng katanungan. Sinong maunang magtanong? Mauna si Governor Grace Padaca. KATANUNGAN NI GRACE PADACA KAY BOJIE DY GRACE PADACA: Bojie, curious lang ako. Dati ko ng alam na tuwing election ay may “Karadap” team kayo tuwing gabi para bumibili ng boto. Actually, hindi lang tuwing bago yong election e. Kahit ngayon nga, ang dami-dami nyong binibiling boto e. Andami-dami ninyong binabayarang mga kapitan, kagawad. Sabi ko, kahit sinong masalubong nyo yata, binabayaran nyo. Dati na ninyong ginagawa ito, pero ngayon taking-taka ako, sobra ng daming pera ninyo. Saan galing? Kay GMA ba, kay Villar? o sa jueteng ulit o saan ba talaga? Na para pag nanalo kayo, kayo na naman ang gagamit sa sapat na pondo ng kapitolyo, kaya yon na lang ang laging tinatarget nyo. BOJIE DY: Binibining Grace, hindi ko maintindihan ang mga paratang mo. Una, sinasabi mo mahirap na mahirap kami at kaya kami naglalaway sa pondo na P1.1 billion. Ngayon, sinasabi mo ang dami-dami naming pera. Hindi natin maintindihan kung ano ‘yong talagang malinaw na statement mo, na sinasabi mo mayaman, sinasabi mong mahirap. Tapos ngayon, kung meron kang katibayan. Kung meron kang katibayan na kami ay namimili ng boto, kung ano pa yong mga paratang mo sa amin, dapat ilabas mo lahat yan. Meron namang tama at tamang lugar na masabi, pwede naman kaming paylan ng kung ano mang kaso. Ang hirap Binibining Grace, hindi nyo nakikita ‘yong mga nasa likuran mo. Na katulad sa bayan ng Gamu, sa bayan ng Luna. Alam mo madaling magparatang e. Mahirap namang, dapat patunayan mo naman yong mga paratang mo. Ang hirap, nalilinlang mo’yong kaisipan ng ating mga mamamayan. Dapat sana, meron kang basehan o meron kang ebidensiya bago ka sana magbintang ng kung anu-ano. GRACE PADACA: Ok, pwede akong sumagot na. BOMBO KARINA: Follow-up question na po ‘yan. GRACE PADACA: Ok. Madaling magparatang ‘kamo, pero madali rin namang mag-deny di ba? Di tingnan na lang natin yong mga kapitan na inuutos-utusan nyo, yong mga tanod na pinatatawag ng mga tao para bigyan ng pera. Alam mo, kung sinasabi mong 1,018 ang barangays natin, at kahit na siguro kalahati lang doon sa mga kapitan na yon ay ginagamit nyo, para magbili ng boto o kahit ilan lang sa mga mayor, maka 500 ng tao ang nakakaalam Bojie e. na yong mga pera na ano, binabayaran nyo. Hindi mo made-deny yon, ang daming mga nagsisilabasan, P500, P200, kagawad, tanod, kapitan. Bawat makasalubong nyo na lang talaga siguro’y binabayaran nyo at kahit na mag-deny ka, yong mga inuutusan nyo alam nila na denial king ka. (Buzz) BOJIE DY: Binibining Grace, hindi ho namin dini-deny, kundi wala po talagang ganyang pangyayari. Ang akin lamang po, Binibining Grace, sino ho ba ang naghahabol na magbigay ng mga P20,000 financial assistance sa mga kababaihan kung kelan huli na, kung kelan malapit ng mag-umpisa ang halalan. Sino po ba ang namimigay ng tagpi-P50,000 kada barangay na dapat matagal ng ibinigay. Kung talagang nasa puso nyong magbigay ng mga assistance o mga projects sa ating mga barangay, dapat pa bang paghintayin yon ng tatlong taon. Di ba dapat noon pa lamang ay inabot nyo na at binigay nyo na ng mga programa ang ating mga nangangailangan na mga barangay. Kung kelan malapit na ang ating halalan, saka kayo nagre-release ng mga ganito. Yan ang tinatawag na indirect vote buying. (Buzz) GRACE PADACA: Bogie, tanungin mo din doon sa mga kapitan na ‘yon kung ngayon lang ako nagbigay. Yon ay para lang sa 2010. Kasi nabigyan ko na sila ng 2009, ng 2008. Hindi naman ngayon lang ako nagbigay. Nabigyan ko na sila ng 2007, 2006, 2005. Yon ang regular course ng aking Ugnayang Bayan. So, tama lang, right on schedule lang na nabigyan sila. Yong mga kababaihan, dati na rin akong nagbibigay at hanggang makakayanan, e di magbigay sa kanila ng tulong sa kanila. Hindi lang ‘yong parang pinalalabas mo kasi na ngayon lang ako nagbigay sa kanila dahil election na. Hindi a. Kasi ang aking Ugnayang Bayan is an instutionalized program of the provincial government na hindi lang ngayon na ginawa. You should know that. (Buzz) BOMBO KARINA ZOBEL: Now, it’s time for Cong Bojie Dy para magtanong naman kay Gov Grace Padaca KATANUNGAN NI BOGIE DY KAY GRACE PADACA BOJIE DY: Kung talagang hangad mo ay tumulong sa ating kalalawigan ng Isabela, katulad sa ating mga magsasaka na meron kang binibigay na pondo na P7.7 million subsidy para sa NFA. Tama ba? GRACE PADACA: Oo, oo BOJIE DY: Bakit P7 million lamang, e meron tayong P1.1 billion na naitabi sa ating lalawigan ng Isabela. Siguro mas mayaman pa ang ating lalawigan ng Isabela kung ito lamang ay na-invest sa tamang mga programa ng ating lalawigan. Alam mo, kailanman hindi ko narinig na nagpatawag ka ng Provincial Development Council na upang sa ganoon, malaman mo kung ano ‘yong mga priority development projects ng iba’t iba nating mga bayan, at ganoon din ang ating mga bara-barangay. Kung talagang namimigay ka ng mga proyekto, bakit iilan lamang at bilang na bilang sa iba’t ibang mga bayan. Bayan ng katulad ng Gamu, bayan ng Roxas, bayan ng Luna, bayan ng San Manuel, bayan ng Burgos. Ito yong mga kasama mo at kaalyado mo. At bayan ng Jones. Kung hindi mo kasama, hindi mo nabibigyan o naaabutan ng mga projects na pangangailangan. Remember itong ating mga mamamayan ay buong panlalawigan ng Isabela na dapat itong pondo na ginagamit para sa kanilang nga priority projects. Sa araw-araw na ginawa ng atin pong mahal na Panginoon, isang oras ka sa radyo, sa umaga, isang oras ka sa radyo sa hapon sa replay, bakit Never mong binanggit na meron tayong P1.1 Billion na Time Deposit sa Development Bank of the Philippines? GRACE PADACA: Doon sa sinasabi mong bakit yong mga bayan lang na yon ang aking binibigyan ng tulong. Hindi. Bakit hindi mo ba alam na binigyan ko rin sa Echague, meron akong MOA with Mayor Kiat. Hindi mo rin ba alam yong aking project sa Delfin Albano, sa Divilacan, sa Maconacon, sa Angadanan. Sa Angadanan mismo sa Viga region. Sa Aurora, sa San Mateo, sa Ramon. Yon, yon meron akong mga projects na hindi mo lang gustong tingnan. At iyong sinasabi nyong P1.1 billion savings, saan nyo ba talaga kinuha yon. In the first place, kailangan mong i-explain sa akin kung saan nyo nakuha ‘yon. Dahil as of 2 days ago, meron kaming balances sa bangko na P1.8 billion. Ngayon, yong perang ‘yon ay lahat yon ginagamit na para sa operational funds – pambayad sa sweldo, pang-operate ng hospital, pang-infrastucture projects. Meron ding sinasabing prior year obligations. Alam mo naman pag nagpa-project ka, babayaran mo lang sila kapag na-accomplish na nila yong kailangan nilang i-accomplish. So itong mga perang ito nakalaan na pambayad sa mga projects. Mga operational funds ito. Yong iba pambayad din naming sa ano, nakalaan sa mga pambayad namin sa mga utang ng mga kapatid mo. Yong mga natitira pang mga utang. Hindi ito sekreto. ‘Bat ko naman isesekreto? Kung sekreto, e hindi mo nalaman, di ba? Papaano mo masasabing sekreto ‘yon, hindi naman itinatago dahil kung nakatago yan ay kahit, hindi nyo malalaman, kahit sinong Isabelino alam po nila yan. At yon nga, bukod sa lahat ng ito nagagawa namin ang mga basic services na para sa mga Isabelino at hindi na bankrupt ang kapitolyo. (Buzz) BOJIE DY: Ang Time Deposit ay maliban doon sa iyong sinasabi na Allocation na pondo para sa taon-taon na ginagamit. Naka Time Deposit maliwanag yan. Kasi pag tinaym deposit mo, may araw ng maturity nyan. Hindi mo pwedeng galawin yon yong inyong pondo. Pero ganoon pa man ‘no, katulad ng binabanggit mo, ang utang ng mga Dy ang iyong binayaran. Unang-una po, hindi utang ng mga Dy. Utang ng ating provincial government na inalaan sa 1,280 classrooms, sa apat na district hospitals, sa atin pong provincial hospital at sa mga kalsadang napagawang konkreto. Alam mo, ang pananaw ni Gov Junior Dy noon, habang mababa ang presyo ng ating materyales, kaya naman ginawa kaagad upang tugunan at mabigyan ng de kalidad na edukasyon ang ating mga kabataan. (Buzz) GRACE PADACA: Alam nyo, yong sinabi mo na mga ipinangutang, panahon yon ng election e. Kaya nga naabutan ako e. Kaya nagmadali sila noong 2004 na gumawa ng mga projects kasi wala sa isip nila na kayo ay matatalo ng isang katulad ko lang. E, kaso nga natalo kayo, kaya ako na ‘yong nakaabot, kasi fresh na fresh yong mga kontrata nila sa mga utang. Kaya nga, kaya ngayon ipinatayo nga, yong mga hospital nga minadaling ipatayo, ni hindi nila kinausap yong may-ari ng lupa diyan sa Cabagan, I think sa Roxas pa. Patayo na lang ng patayo ng walang nirespetong ano, kaya ako lahat ang nagmana ng problema na ‘yon. Kailangang bayaran lahat sila, otherwise ay aalisin nila ‘yong mga hospital sa ating pamahalaang panlalawigan. (Buzz) BOJIE DY: So ang ibig sabihin ni Binibining Grace, na yong mga inabutan mo na sabi mo minamadali dahil election year, so yong 1,280 classrooms nagawa ng election period ng 45 days. At yong apat na district hospital ay nagawa rin ng 45 days, during elections sabi mo. At ganoon din ang ating provincial hospital at ganoon din yong mga konkreto. Aba’y napakabilis na trabaho noon para sabihin mo na pati, ibentang mo muli sa pamumuno ni Governor Dy. Itong nagawang mga school buildings at ang ating provincial hospital, unang pag-upo pa lang ng 2001, ay ginawa na kaagad, inumpisahan na, na bigyan na ng mga classrooms ang ating iba’t ibang nating mga barangay. (Buzz) GRACE PADACA: Pwede mong makita ang records mo Bojie, kasi a year before that na naka-project na sila sa election, doon nila pinagkokontrata ang mga utang sa bangko, at hanggang ngayon, kahit na pwede naming bayaran ay naka-schedule yan ng so many years bago mabayaran. And of these more than P500 million na utang sa bangko, P200 million kaagad ang interest. Kaya nga noong dumating ako dito, hindi ko na ipinangutang pa ang lalawigan ng Isabela e. Hindi naman ako interesado sa komisyon. Hindi naman ako interesado sa kurakot. Malaking katipiran yon, kaya merong pera ang provincial government dahil maayos ang bidding ng projects, hindi nila kailangang magkaroon ng overpricing at hindi kailangang ipangutang para magbayad ng malaking interest. BOMBO KARINA: Merong patutsada na naman doon at saka tanong nyo ‘yon, 1 minute lang po, congressman. BOJIE DY: Katulad ng sabi niya, kinurakot na hindi kinurakot. Meron kang pagkakataon noong 2004 noong naupo ka. Na nag-hire ka pa ng mga private auditors para himay-himayin at isa-isahin ang lahat ng transaction nang nakaupo si Gov Junior Dy at ganoon din si Gov Ben Dy. Meron ka bang nakitang mga anomalya na transaksiyon o di kaya mga overpricing na sinasabi mo, o di kaya’y Cut na sinasabi mo. Binibining Grace, nandito tayo para magsabi ng katotohanan. GRACE PADACA: Oo naman BOJIE DY: At hindi tayo dapat manlinlang ng ating mga kaisipan ng ating mga mamamayan. GRACE PADACA: Meron silang binayaran na BOJIE DY: At sinabi mo kanina. Hindi pa po ako tapos Mam BOMBO KARINA: Sandali po, Governor GRACE PADACA: Ok sorry BOJIE DY: At sabi mo kanina, na during election period na habang kino-construct, ngayon 1 year before na. Ano po ba ang totoo? GRACE PADACA: Yong mga bank loans na ‘yon ay kinuha para noong na-release ‘yon, it was on time during the election period noong kino-construct na. But don’t evade the issue. Yong sinasabi mo na, anomalya. Meron silang binayarang kompanya ng P30 million na walang delivery, na nasaan napunta ang P30 million na ‘yon na hindi nila nai-deliver sa provincial government, yong dapat i-deliver nila. BOJIE DY: Meron naman po tayong dapat na korte na humarap diyan, Binibining Grace Padaca. Kayo po ang dapat naghain kung may nakitang may ganitong anomalya. Bakit, ano pong ginagawa? Katulad po nitong pagto-tolerate nyo na sinabi nyo na may nag-forge ng pangalan nyo sa pagbibigay ng permit sa mining concession o dili kaya’y nickel mining diyan sa bayan ng Dinapigue. Alam ko naman na kagustuhan nyong sirain ng tuluyan ang pamilyang Dy, imposibleng hindi ninyo i-file ang kaso, kung talagang may nakita kayong anomalya na habang nasa ilalim o sa pamumuno ng kapatid kong si Gov Ben Dy at ganoon din si Gov Junior Dy. Sino po ba ang may mga problema sa COA, sino po ba ang mga may mga kaso sa Ombudsman, di ba po? Imagine, ang isang GRACE PADACA: Ombudsman. Kayo lang naman lahat ang nag-aano e, nagsasampa e, bago kami maglaban ni Ben Dy sa 2007 elections. Pinaspasan nyo akong sampahan ng kaso sa Ombudsman. Ang sabi ko, ang kakapal naman ng mga ito. Sila ang kilalalang nagsasamantala sa pondo ng pamahalaan, sila pa ang ano, sila pa ang may ganang magsampa ng kaso. Common, kayo nga diyan e. Kasi marami kayong bayarang abogado. Marami kayong pwedeng di pindot na kung anong gusto nyong sabihin ay sinasabi nila. Meron kayong maraming kakampi sa piskalya. Kaya nga pati yong aking anti logging campaign ay nabubulilyaso dahil yong dati ninyong provincial lawyer, e talagang harang ng harang. Kahit na nga siguro drug addict pahihintulutang makalaya para lang makakutong and at the same time, sirain ang aking mga programa. Kasi yong sa dynasty nyo, napaka well-entrenched ang iyong mga tentacles e, na talagang ang hirap, ang hirap labanan na kayo pa yong nangbabaligtad. Kayo pa ngayon ang nagmamalinis, samantalang you have a whole long history of corruption. BOMBO KORINA: Yes, congressman. Siguro last na ‘yan no. 1 minute at kung gustong sumagot ni Gov Grace, 30 seconds na lang, at kung sumagot kayo ulit din mamaya, 30 seconds na lang BOJIE DY: E, di kasi pinag-uusapan dito na meron lang daw impluwensiya ng pamilya o mga lawyer namin na para magsulong o magsampa ng mga kaso. Nakakapagtaka naman, dapat may basehan e. Na kung merong mga anomalya, may basehan, merong basehan na bakit hanggang ngayon, di napapa-dismiss. Kung wala silang basehan, bakit hanggang ngayon nakabinbin ang mga kaso laban sa ‘yo, o dili kaya’y baka ikaw naman ang merong koneksiyon diyan sa COA o sa Ombudsman na kung bakit hanggang ngayon hindi nabibigyan ng mga desisyon yong mga kaso at reklamo sa ‘yo, dahil ito base lamang sa mga COA at may mga ebidensiya laban sa mga anomalyang nangyayari habang ikaw nanunungkulan bilang gobernador ng ating lalawigan ng Isabela. GRACE PADACA: I assure you Bojie, hindi ako marunong lumaro ng maruming laro nyo – na yong sinasabi nyong bat hindi ko kayang ipa-dismiss, kasi wala akong mga kaibigan sa Ombudsman. Walang akong kaibigan sa COMELEC na pwede nyong bayaran para baligtarin ang desisyon ng COMELEC na ako pa, ako pa yong mandaraya sa inyo. Ano e, iyan ang ibig sabihin kasi ng dynasty e, kayang-kaya nyo ang mga maling paraan. BOJIE DY: Natatawa lang ako. Si Binibining Grace Padaca, ayaw kasing tumingin muna. Tingnan niya muna sana ang sarili niya. Dahil panay ang banggit niya ng Dynasty. Sino ba ‘yong mga nasa likuran mo? Sino ba yong mga kakampi mo, di ba? Tumatakbong Vice Governor, tumatakbong congressman, bayaw niya tumatakbong mayor sa bayan ng Roxas. Isang mayor ang tumatakbo, tumatakbo rin ng board member. Dito rin sa ikatlong distrito isang congressman, isang mayor, isang konsehal. (Buzz) GRACE PADACA: Papaano naman po yong mga dynasty ng kapatid mo, congressman, yong asawa niya mayor, yong anak niya bise mayor. Yong best friend nyong Berdugo na ulbod, na si Bentot Panganiban, yong asawa niya Mayor, yong asawa niya Bise Mayor. Yong sa San Mateo, anong masasabi nyo doon? Tingnan na lang po natin ang pagkatao ng mga ito. BOJIE DY: So para pala po sa ‘yo, Binibining Grace Padaca, Ok lang pagka kaalyado mo’t kasama mo. Hindi mo sila laitlaitin. Pero kung kasama at kapartido at kasamahan ng mga Dy ay grabe, ganoon na lamang ang pagtingin mo na talagang nilalait mo ang pagiging dynasty. HULING KATANUNGAN NI BOMBO KARINA KAY GRACE PADACA BOMBO KARINA ZOBEL: May question po ako, kasi kanina pinag-uusapan po ninyo ang tungkol sa hospitals, ganyan mga project. Now, this reminds me of the controversy during the time, My question is – for Governor Grace Padaca. During the time of the former Governor Junior Dy, yong health card before at saka yong proyekto niya may kaugnayan sa mga hospitals na during that time, merong binabayaran ang mga mamamayan na minimum of P100 yata, pati yong mga empleyado. Ang naging kontrobersiya noon ay sinabi na parang private yon, so merong opposition doon. Nonetheless, kung ang ordinaryong mamamayan noon ang tatanungin mo, ay parang natuwa sila because nakita na may pagbabago sa serbisyong pangkalusugan sa probinsya ng Isabela dahil gumanda nga ang mga hospital, wala ka ng maririnig noon na bibili ka ng gamit mo pagka nasa hospital ka, at may sapat na supply ng gamot. That was the situation before that we all knew in Isabela. Although meron ngang controversy behind. Pero among masang Isabelino, I believe that they appreciated that. Ngayon, sa pamumuno mo ngayon Governor Grace Padaca, bumalik ang mga reklamo na yan – pag pumunta sa mga hospital, walang gamot, walang gamot, walang doctor, na yon ay mga issues na dati kinakaharap ng probinsiya ng Isabela during the time of former Gov Benjamin Dy. Papaano nyo yan sasagutin sa mga mamamayang Isabelino GRACE PADACA: Karina, kasi yong sinasabing libreng mga gamot noon under the Jun Dy administration, if you remember, parang naging palengke yong mga hospital dahil sinamantala din naman ng ilan ‘yong sinasabing libreng gamot. Kahit tanungin nyo ang mga doctor na nagsasabing para silang naging botika na lang na dahil may libreng gamot, doon pumpunta yong mga tao na para lang makinabang na hindi naman kailangan at nai-expirean na lang o kaya ay ibinebenta. Hindi naman magandang programa ‘yon. Dito sa sinasabi na walang gamit, walang doctor, napaka generalize naman ang statement na yon, Karina. Iyong paulit ulit na sinasabi nina Bojie at Rodito na walang bulak, parang napakadaling sabihin na parang walang nangyayari, pero hindi rin naman nila nakikita yong lahat ng aming mga ginagawa, because from 2004 to 2009, P209 million ang binili naming mga medical supplies na para sa mga mamamayan, at saka 11,000 last year lang ang na-confine sa provincial hospital lang na nakauwi naman ng matiwasay at nagamot naman. Kaya ano kaya yong sinasabing walang bulak, walang gamot na pag pumunta kayo sa aming mga Pharmacy ay makikita nyo naman na nandoon ang mga gamot. So sabi ko nga, kung mayroon mang nagrereklamo, ewan ko, sila Bojie lang naman ang nagsasabi, hindi pa naman sila nagpupunta sa hospital. Ginagamit na lang yong feedback ng kanilang mga tao. And if ever, na may makarating sa inyo, we need to get the details kasi nga ay nandoon ang aming mga supplies, and not just supplies kundi mga capital outlay pa. Bulak lang ba, hindi namin mabili. Karayom lang ba hindi namin mabili. Masyado namang exaggerated yong mga ganoong feedback na parang sobrang masama na, samantalang ang lahat ng naabutan naming hospital, primary ang accreditation. Ngayon ay naging secondary na ang accreditation ng mga hospital na ito. FOLLOW-UP QUESTION NI BOMBO KARINA KAY GRACE PADACA KARINA ZOBEL: Ok, governor. Follow up question ko po doon sa sagot nyo po ano. Yong question ko, I did not base it sa narinig ko kina Cong Bojie Dy or anumang grupo. But it’s a feedback that we, in Bombo at ordinaryong mamamayan o kaya journalist can pick it up. Dahil Cauayan District Hospital, nandito lang, malapit lang, at meron tayong nasasalubong diyan, may mga pumupunta rito na ganoon nga ang experience nila. I don’t think naman siguro na pinadala yon ni Cong Bojie Dy o sinuman. As Governor, namo-monitor nyo po ba talaga kung papaano. You’re providing figures of Allocations for those, pero yon nga po, ang comparison ko lang, kung may konting problema before, hindi ho kaya yon na lang ang inadress nyo, yong proper dispensing of medicines na hindi yong pupunta lang doon dahil libre. Pero yong panuntunan na libre talaga na mararamdaman ng mamamayang Isabelino na mayroon talagang government hospital that can attend to people who don’t have money na pumunta sa private hospitals. GRACE PADACA: Yeah, I still maintain Karina na thousands upon thousands pa rin yong aming naseserbisyuhan na gumagaling. It cannot be a perfect situation dahil merong mga administrative problems diyan. Halimbawa dito sa Cauayan District Hospital. We had a lot of problems sa aming Chief of Hospital noon na si Dr Oscar Caballero na laging kinakausap siya ni Paul Fernandez kasi siya ang namamahala dito. Kasi panay na lang na dito sa Cauayan District Hospital yong mga reklamo. Sabi nga namin, pinakamalapit pa sa Bombo kung saan sila madaling magreklamo. Nabigyan namin ng napakaraming pagkakataon si Dr Caballero para pagbutihin naman, pero noong talagang hindi niya talaga makaya yong sitwasyon, I was constrained na ilipat siya ng assignment para mag-take over si Dr Valdez at sa mga sandaling ito ay nai-improve nila yong administration ng hospital. Meron din kasi yong iba na ano e, na may nasasabotahe talaga para masira lamang iyong aming ginagawa. HULING KATANUNGAN NI BOMBO KARINA KAY BOJIE DY BOMBO KARINA: Para naman kay Cong Bojie Dy ang aking katanungan. Kanina po ay kinukwestiyon nyo po ang tungkol sa Savings ng capitol. Now, ano ba, sabi naman ni Gov Grace Padaca na maraming utang noon ang provincial government. Although nasabi nyo nga those were projects before. The question is: If there’s indeed P1 billion plus, P1.8 billion, did I hear it right, Governor? GRACE PADACA: Bank balances yon Karina, hindi yon savings. Available funds, pero naka-earmarked din yong iba sa mga projects at sa mga ibang expenditures KARINA ZOBEL: Yon kasi very common na tinatanong dito. Kung sa inyo pong pananaw, anong mas maganda, meron bang available funds doon na could be used for anything or mangutang lang ang probinsya para lang magkaroon ng mga proyekto. BOJIE DY: Unang-una, katulad ng sinabi ni Binibining Grace Padaca, bank balances. Di ibig sabihin, nandiyan na yan, di ba yang P1.8 billion. Tayo ay tumatanggap, ang provincial government at ang local government ay tumatanggap ng pondo kada quarterly. Galing yan sa tinatawag nating Internal Revenue Allotment. So first quarter pa lamang, meron na tayong P1.8 billion. Ang ating total na pondo lang ngayong taon, kundi ako nagkakamali, more or less P1.4 billion. So meron pa tayong parating ng pang-second quarter, pang 3rd quarter, pang 4th quarter. So yong sinasabi ni Binibining Grace Padaca na hindi savings ‘to, ito’y balanse, ito’y talagang tinatawag nating tinaym-deposit ng ating provincial government. Kaya alam mo, balikan ko na rin yong sinasabi ni Binibining Grace Padaca na ‘yong mga na-construct na mga school buildings, hospital, may makikita natin na merong comparison na e. Na yong panahon ni Gov Junior Dy at ni Grace Padaca tungkol sa hospital, di ibig sabihin nandoon na po ‘yong ospital noon na hindi katulad ng sinasabi ni Miss Grace Padaca na ginawa lang ‘to dahil darating ang halalan. Meron na dating mga hospital na mga bagong district hospital. Yan lang po ang pagpapatunay na talagang, ay hindi ko po alam kung ano po ang dapat maintindihan sa sinasabi ni Binibining Grace Padaca na mali na naman ang kanyang bentang na ito’y nira-rush bago lamang umabot ang ating halalan, subalit ayn meron ng district hospital bago pa lamang dumating ang sinasabi niyang 2004 elections. GRACE PADACA: Puro bago ‘yon Bojie, Yong lahat ng mga luma, yong Cauayan pinalitan, yong Roxas pinalitan, yong Cabagan, pinalitan lahat. Ang hindi lang nila pinalitan yong provincial hospital nab ago umalis yong kapatid mong si Ben Dy ay ipinangutang niya ng P150 million na hanggang ngayon ay binabayaran pa ng provincial government, pero palpak yong pagkakagawa. Yong pagkakagawa ng mga emergency rooms. Ang ilan pa sa mga pinagkakagastusan namin, yong mali-mali e, na pagkakagawa ng Isabela Provincial Hospital. At ewan ko ba, bakit ba kating-kati kayo doon sa available na pera ng probinsiya na para bang. At least, nandiyan yong pera o, hindi ko kinurakot, hindi nawawala. At yan, I maintain na ito ay every year kung meron kaming mga extra funds because of the IRA differentials, at sa aming prudent spending at sa aming mas mataas na koleksiyon kaya palaki ng palaki yang perang yan at marami pang nagbibigay ng mga tulong e, nandiyan yan para magamit sa major project. CANDIDATE BOJIE DY: Alam mo, yong P1.1 billion na Time Deposit, kung ito’y nai-invest lamang sa ating agrikultura, katulad ng sinasabi mo sa NFA, na kung P7 million lamang ang binigay mo pang-subsidy, pwede mo pang higitan doon na para mas maraming matulungan tayong mga farmers. Pangalawa, kung na-invest natin sa mga school buildings yan, sa mga facilities, sa mga kagamitan, siguro mas mahusay at mas magagaling ang ating mga kabataan ngayon. Kung prinovide natin yang P1.1 billion na yan, nilagay sa mga kalsada, karagdagang irigasyon, mga water impounding, siguro mas masarap at mas maginhawa ang kabuhayan ng ating mga mamamayan. Siguro mas malakas ang ating local economy, kung itong P1.1 billion ay na-invest sa tama at karapatdapat na programa para tugunan ang mga pangangailangan ng ating lalawigan ng Isabela. PANGHULING MENSAHE FR FLORMAN CABAUATAN: Inaasahan po natin na ang mga magkakatunggali ay hindi lang magkakatunggali, magkaibigan ho tayong lahat. Dahil iisa lang naman ang ating ipinaglalaban, ang progreso ng probinsiya ng mga taga Isabela ay sana mabibiyayaan at tulungan natin dahil ang Isabela po, kung hindi ako nagkakamali, pinakamalaking OFW ang Isabela e. Ibig sabihin, walang kabuhayan dito sa atin. So to you Governor, to you Congressman, we wish you all the luck and we pray for you na kasangkapan kayo ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng boto ng tao na makapagsilbi ng mabuti, makatulong ng husto para sa kabutihan hg probinsiya ng Isabela. Good luck to you and God bless! CANDIDATE BOJIE DY: Unang-una po sa lahat ay gusto ko pong magpasalamat sa himpilang Bombo Radyo, Karina thank you very much. And of course, kay Fr Cabauatan. Salamat din po sa ating kaharap dito ngayong gabi, kay Binibining Grace Padaca. Ang pangarap lang naman po namin para sa ating mga mamamayan ay mapaunlad ang kanila pong kabuhayan. Sino man po ay iyan ang ating pangarap sa atin pong mga mamamayan. Unang-una po rito, gusto po natin talagang mapangalagaan ang kalusugan ng bawat mamamayan sa atin pong lalawigan ng Isabela. Mahalaga po sa amin na meron po tayong malusog na sambayanan. Pangalawa, mahalaga po sa amin ni Cong Rodito Albano na pangalagaan din ang kinabukasan ng ating mga kabataan. Ang edukasyon na magbigay tayo ng de-kalidad na edukasyon sa atin pong mga kabataan sa atin pong lalawigan ng Isabela. Mahalaga po sa amin ni Cong Rodito Albano na mapagyaman po natin ang agrikultura. Kailangang isa-isahin natin at harapin natin ang mga problema na magbibigay ng kasagutan na upang maiangat natin ang antas ng kabuhayan, lalong lalo na po ng atin pong mga magsasaka. Pangkabukahayan, napakahalaga rin po sa amin ni Cong Rodito Albano na siya naming pinagtutuunan na upang sa ganoon hindi lamang sa palay, mais at iba pang mga produkto, kundi dapat lamang tingnan natin kung ano pa ‘yong iba pa po nating mapayaman sa iba’t iba nating lugar sa atin pong lalawigan ng Isabela. Gusto po namin ni Cong Rodito Albano pag-ingatan natin ang ating kalikasan. Ang ating kagubatan, na kung saan, kami po ay, ang gusto po namin ay No Chainsaw Policy para makatiyak, at i-resettle natin yong mga nakikita naming mga bahay, kasi po pagka pumupunta kami sa ating coastal town, nakikita namin, may mga ilan-ilang bahay diyan na dapat i-resettle para sa ganoon makatiyak tayo na hindi sila puputol ng kahoy at bigyan ng kabuhayan itong mga umaasa dito na ating mga kalalawigan ng Isabela. Ang sabi ko nga, lagyan natin ng mga water impounding ang dapat nating paglagyan para sa ganoon, meron silang ibang hanapbuhay katulad ng magkaroon ng karagdagang irigasyon. Meron po tayong magkalat ng mga isda at ganoon din duck raising, sapagkat napatunayan na po natin ‘to sa ilan nating lugar na ito po’y isang magandang karagdagang kabuhayan. Kung merong mga ganitong mga programa ang ating pamahalaan. Sa amin po ni Cong Rodito Albano, kami po ay naniniwala sa atin pong pagkakaisa. Ito po ang pangarap natin ay atin pong mararating kung tayo po ay magkakapit-bisig, kung tayo po ay muling magkakaisa na maibalik ang pagkakaisa ng ating lalawigan ng Isabela. CANDIDATE GOV GRACE: Napakagaganda ng mga sinabi niyang programa, pero bakit sa loob ng 30 taon nila na nasa kapangyarihan at saka yong Albano, 50 anyos, e bakit hindi nila nagawa ito. Siguro paraiso na ang Isabela kung katulad ng Padaca administration na may sapat na pera at hindi utang ang mga dynasty sa nakalipas na 30 taon. Sana nagawa na nila yon. Yong P7 million na sinasabi nilang subsidy sa NFA, yan po ay sa isang anihan lang. Pero ilang anihan na pong napagsisilbihan ang ating mga magsasakang Isabelino. Marami pa, marami pa, kasi po hindi ko kinukurakot ang pera. Nandiyan lang. At nakakatakot na kapag sila ay muling bumalik sa kapangyarihan ay talagang sabik na sabik na naman silang gamitin ito, kaya napaka-desperado nilang manalo dahil si Bogie na ang kanilang huling baraha. Kung matatalo pa sila ngayon, ganap na ang ating kalayaan ng ating lalawigan mula sa nakalipas na maraming taon nila sa kapangyarihan. At ngayon lamang po tayo nakakita ng ganito karaming perang bumabaha sa Isabela, mga napakatinding kasinungalingan ng lahat ng mga taong utos-utusan nila o binabayarang magsalita ng mga kasinungalingan laban sa akin. Desperado silang manalo ngayon dahil kung hindi, wala na silang mapagkukunan pa ng pera sa susunod kung hindi nila mahahawakan itong pinagkakatihan nilang pera sa kapitolyo. Sila at ang pamilya Albano. Magpapagamit pa ba tayo, apo Isabelino? Kusang loob ka pa bang babalik sa kanilang kulungan dahil lang sa kanilang mga kasinungalingan at mga perang binabayad sa inyong boto? Alam ko po, mahirap tanggihan ang pera, pero tanggapin nyo na lang din. Pero automated na ang election, hinding-hindi na nila malalaman kung sino ang inyong iboboto. Kayo mismo ang magpapasok sa computer sa inyong balota kaya hindi nila makikita ang inyong boto para po iboto kung ano ang tama. Malaya na po tayo, huwag na tayong kusang loob o dilat ang mata na magpapakulong muli at magpapaapi sa kanila na mabait lang, masipag lang at matino lang kapag panahon ng halalan. apo_isabelino88 on "Get to know Grace Padaca thru her mentor, Atty.

Then Noynoy may have as well appointed the right people in his Cabinet. Imagine, if Winnie Monsod takes over the Department of Finance and no big nor small C5 transactions will be allowed. Those who spent too much to be elected will have nothing to reinvest and the few good men who won will increase in the next elections. Imagine, if these funds worth about over 50% of government infrastructure and other purchases are going back to the people. Many Senators and Congressmen, run in the elections by way of vote buying and/ or patronage and overspending. Imagine, if Mareng Winnie with her rod will cripple their money making business by ensuring that pork barrels spending if any will be done with full transparency, open publicity and offered online? They can all be hostile but imagine if Mareng Winnie will do the massive clean up? Overspending and money politics will go bankrupt and the people will be getting more good men and women in the government in the next elections. While wrongdoing corrupts. Doing what is just and right can be contaminating, too. Why is this possible? It is because if Noynoy chooses to have nothing for himself and instead give government to the people, then there will be nothing to bargain for from traditional politicans in Congress or anywhere else. Noynoy can face impeachment, but his God and people will protect him. Worse, the Spirits of Ninoy and Cory will haunt the evils controlling all levels of society. Imagine if Noynoy will appoint a DLIG Secretary who will ensure that the ban on Jueting and all forms of gambling will be totally enforced by the government? Then you will have jueting lords crippled and Ed Panlilio's elected. Imagine, for example if a true bloodied environmantalist will run the DENR. Then, if governrnment suspends all forms of destructive logging even in forest reserves. Imagine, if millions of trees will be required to be planted proportionate to every tree to be cut. That will diminish flooding and give a new air of hope for a better country.Then we can have better power supply, as dams will have more water to run its water turbines.Imagine of we have a secretary of the DENR who knows how to segregate waste? Then there would be no mountains of garbage to cause disease. You can have instead gainful and useful production of organic fertilizers, plastic, paper and other materials. Imagine if a man like Nick Perlas run the Agriculture Department and every family and community in the hinterlands will be given the right support to lead sustainable food production and livestock opportunities? Who will need to live in the cities? Imagine if "Food First" for every Filipino will become the objective and battlecry of the government and if savings from corruption are truly chanelled to this endeavour? Who will be afraid of global financial meltdowns if an Agriculture Secretary like Mr. Perlas will be fully supported? Then, we can have food on every table. Imagine if even for a start, 80% of government purchases for medicines, equipments and supplies be paid direct from their manufacturers? I have been seen how a nebulizer worth P3 to 5 thousand could be purchased at 13 thousand by the government. I have seen how a dental unit worth P210,000 can be offered for P1.5 million. Imagine, if a new Health Secretary can save billions of health funds whcih can to be truly chanelled to our poor people. Imagine, how many hospitals could have been rebuilt, lives saved and health restored and maintained. We tried to imagine that a Noynoy can become a Pressident. We also tried to imagine that we can start dreaming. Imagine if we must. If we can imagine it, we can become it.

It concerns the people of Cagayan de oro: yes the people has spoken.. but not in cdo, erap won here and the local trapos are back.. this should be a reflection point for all of us.. we need to transform the barangays.. transfrom the electorate.. if we dont raise a hand on this we will always end up with the kind of leaders we have in cdo. as i have been saying we are popular in our circles, but we lack the constituency.. community level.. TIME TO REACH OUT TO THESE PEOPLE here's my reply: ( for Cagayan de oro and for the nation) Hi ! Thanks for responding. I agree with you. In my case, I have been trying to keep the discussion going with or without elections. I came to a point of even losing my elective position by refusing to agree with anomalous transactions. I had to refuse to join political parties which are run by the tradition. As a matter of fact, I came to a point of even resigning from my own political party even at the cost of being misunderstood and ridiculed. It's a tall order. We fight, we run, we lose. However, winning or losing the elections does not matter too much to me now, than standing up with the right cause. It has even terribly affected the peace of my family and my practice of profession. Finances and parental obligations caught up with me, that's why I am in the US. Yet, I must recognize that this process too has given me time to reflect and purify my intentions and even my personal lifestyle. It is when one is lonely and helpless that God makes the most important invitation to ask us to allow Him to take the lead. I am not making excuses because I committed mistakes too, in the process of change that I so desired for our people. I realized by actual experience that change and freedom requires sacrifices and suffering. Most important, it requires a prayerful, pure and truthful heart. That's the most important element that we need to accept. Reaching out to a people blinded by money and vices requires a deeper Spiritual dimension. I have committed to do just that. I hope more people will set the good example and zeal. I am not giving up. Noynoy becomes President because Ninoy set the tone. He refused to agree with a dictatorship and an extremely corrupt administration even in solitary confinement and in the most terrible imprisonment and humiliation. He learned to pray and Cory, too. Ninoy gave up life for others to live. I believe Noynoy simply did not earn it all by himself. God has annointed him. Then too, God's people will rule in our city if a few good men and women will set the tone for His people to follow. Noynoy is expected to lead, the way his father dreamed and died for. Ninoy once said " The burden is now on your shoulders son" . Noynoy must carry that burden now, and so do we, as local residents and citizens of this nation. Kaya Natin and the likes of Grace Padaca, Ed Panlilio and their constituents cannot give up too, the nation is looking up to them. God bless!

Grace Padaca to vacate the office. But then whose truth would the process of determining the outcome be based on? Has the history of governance of the other side clear of any misdeeds? To be fair to those wanting to be balanced and just in their understanding of the situation in Isabela, you now have the responsibility to present the other side of the story. In doing so, may I respectfully suggest that you try to see the forest from the trees. Whatever happens in this political squabble, would the big picture change for the common good of the people of Isabela and the Filipino people in general? Freedom of Mind & Spirit May this day be the beginning of our glorious transformation in mind and spirit And from within the birth and ascension of truth, justice, and love altogether in unity, To strengthen our resolve, enrich our wisdom to navigate away from this mythical place Now called home, towards a well-lit city on a hill reserved for us while we’re gone. We are descendants of lost men and women who ever since their creation of long ago Have consistently turned their backs from the guiding light of nature everlasting. Amidst darkness, gods in their own image they created and a message made absolute Through their actions of soulless opportunism and extreme greed unseen before, Relentlessly spread throughout with arrogance to high heavens beyond control. Such callous pursuit of power and wealth, and all the glitters that seems endless Misled us to come along on a voyage in hope of good life and salvation eternal. For what we thought to be pious, comfort and convenience we sold our soul, Before our eyes not before long our heartfelt belief in false expectation enables This heartless charade degenerates into a hellish sojourn till the day of reckoning calls. Through it all we believe our faith is strong and unassailable, and yet For a long while now we say one thing and the opposite we do without remorse Our indifference to the incongruence of what is preach and how it’s live has been the crux Of this inhumanity that now besiege us, in great stride we soak it all and even worse To His command “love thy neighbor...” with callousness we ignore it and didn’t respond. We live our lives unwittingly in ecstasy no less in a world full of hypocritical piety. The pathway we’re trekking leads to nowhere but despair; our experiences tell us so. Life getting tougher no matter what we do, with urgency this condition needs changing. Doing things differently from tradition could lead to better perspectives and good judgment. Opportunities to do what we haven’t done before are before us, and to the fullest understand, And embrace Change with all our heart and mind, body and soul, the only way forward. How to overcome the indignities of the present and world of uncertainties ahead of us? Heed the whispers of inner self, a moral course correction without delay we must now act. Understand the connection of then and now still exists that we must end, but not forget Learn from history what got us here, learn from society’s narratives, past and present. Seek the whole truth and nothing more to lit our way, and that in mind purging ahead Out of this darkness we shall find lights shining bright lifting our souls with such delight. Freedom from the cycle of deception, fear, passivity, ignorance and timidity we must secure. The false pretenses that to this day have taken over our whole being, together with all The treacherous beliefs that cursed our lives aground for centuries must be forsaken. Be ever proudly curious, inquisitive and courageously vigilant from this point forward Of all things taking place around us that matters to keep our mind, body and soul free And proudly proclaim “I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.” Let the spirit of truth, love and justice in unity guide our search of the mystical place. Through Him – possibilities are endless, the noblest amongst the rest no doubt would be A kingdom of liberty, happiness, and peace with dignity becomes reality for all. In His memory, for our soul and our country do this till we are able to proclaim "Free at last! Free at last!

Ayon sa ating bubwit>>> Napaiyak itong si treasurer at sinabing kalahating milyong piso lamang ang time deposit nila ni lady governor na walang provincial ordinance at hindi ISANG BILYONG PISO., Ayon sa ating Bubwit.. kaya pala noong Dec. 22, 2009 ay nagkaroon ng special "palusot" session kuno kahit nag-adjourn at huling session na ng SP noong Dec. 16,2009, na hindi naman inabisuhan ang limang opposition Sangunian members dahilan sa alam nilang wala ng session dahil sa mag-eeleksyon na. Ayon sa ating Bubwit ang nilalaman pala ng Dec. 22,2009 special session(RES.NUMBER-0I8) ay upang bigyan ng kapangyarihan si lady governor na magbukas ng account na tinawag nilang "HIGH YIELDING SAVINGS DEPOSIT" sa halagang mahigit ISANG BILYONG PISO na iyon din pala ang lihim na time deposit ng dalawang babaeng opisyal dalawang taon na ang nakalipas sa sangay ng DBP! Noong Dec. 19,2009, isa pang Resolution Number-019, isang MOA ang nilagdaan ni lady governor na pinagtibay din ng SP, na ipinatra-transfer naman kay governor ang malaking pondo sa several municipalities na hindi naman binanggit kung anong mga bayan ang paglalagakan ng daan daang milyong piso sa kada bayan.( ang galing nyo madam treasurer, talaga namang mga CPA kayo ni lady governor). Eto ngayon ang siste, bulgaran ng talaga at garapalan na ang kilos ni lady governor!!!! Kaya pala, galanteng namimigay ng malalaking bonus at cash gift si lady governor sa kanyang paboritong bayan, ay iyun na pala ang kanyang kinurakut na ISANG BILYONG PISONG HIGH YIELDING SAVINGS DEPOSIT SA DBP at ginagamit nyang panuhol-pang-vote buying sa mga kapitan at municipal mayors para siya ay muling iboto sa May 2010 national elections! na pera naman ng lgu!( Kumita pa ng milyong interest na ipinampagawa daw ng mansion sa Canada?) Ang lady governor na nabuking na nagpalusot ng dalawang SP resolutions kahit naka-adjourn na ang regular sessions ay walang iba.. kilala mo ito Father Among Ed Panlilio, iniidolo mo'to father. Sec. Bebot hindi ba kaibigan mo si itong lady Governor?(Nanalo ito ng Magsaysay Award sa category ng good governance,ganyan ba ang GOOD GOVERNANCE?) ang lady governor na galanteng magpa-bonus ng 40 thousand pesos kahit na isa lang siyang janitor at casual... ay walang iba kundi si Governor G (as in Governor Grace Padaca ng Isabela) or lady governor P as in Polio. apo_isabelino88 on "COA Report of DISALLOWANCES by Grace Padaca" http://kayanatin.com/forums/topic.php?id=65#post-109 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 06:37:40 +0000 apo_isabelino88 109@http://kayanatin.com/forums/ COA report of DISALLOWANCES by Grace Padaca and PT Flores for the period of Jan 1 – June 30, 2007 totaling to P1,006,220.

This verdict is a clear reflection of the cheating that happened in 13 towns in the province in 2007, when thousands of ballots were accomplished by one or two persons, and when the different inks used in many ballots betrayed a pattern of bogus votes stuffed into the ballot boxes. She can no longer hide behind a veil of sincerety, honesty and innocence. Neither can she feign weakness and play the underdog card. Let us not forget that she was in power as governor at the time these fraud were committed. She was more than capable. She had the machinery and capacity contrary to what she would expect us to believe. Only an intelligent mind with a criminal bent can implement the systematic manufacture of ballots. Padaca must abide by the Comelec decision since she submitted herself to the commission’s jurisdiction, the process was followed to the letter and her lawyers witnessed how the ballot were taken out of the boxes,revalidated and the bogus ones cast aside. Fairness also requires that the unseated Governor Padaca comply with the order unseating her since the Comelec was convinced that cheating did happen, and the spurious ballots had to be invalidated, consistent with jurisprudence and electoral practice. The cheater must never benefit from these votes. The pattern of cheating was established not only by the Comelec but by the revisors chosen to appreciate the contested ballots. Revisors for all parties were present, that is, revisors for Padaca were there as well. Comelec commissioners can only be swayed to act with dispatched when evidence so warrants, and the case of Governor Benjamin Dy against Governor Grace Padaca presented a mountain of proof that showed her winning margin of 17,007 was spurious. Shorn of these votes, Comelec found Dy winning the contest by 1,051 votes. It is thus ministerial on the part of the Comelec to order Padaca’s unseating and it becomes a matter of course for her to comply with an order by an independent body mandated by the 1987 Constitution to ensure the conduct of clean, honest and free elections. The commissioners were pressured, not by the lawyers of Benjamin Dy but by the gang of non-government organizations (NGOs), Liberal Party (LP) stalwarts and the rabid Padaca backers who are now finding malice in the decision. They are now busy contriving a conspiracy theory, with Malacanang as the culprit and other defeated local candidates acting as the beneficiaries. They smell a rat but that rat is firmly ensconced in the minds of the saboteurs of peace in Isabela. People with fertile minds, particularly those a mile removed from Isabela politics, now craft a theory that Padaca is being punished for aligning with the LP, the same theory advanced to explain the ouster of Bulacan Gov. Joselito Mendoza. The Comelec order unseating Padaca did not materialize out of thin air. It was brought about by a thorough scrutiny of the ballots and the invalidation of ballots that were proven to have been accomplished by one or two men with golden arms. It was the product of adherence to the rule of law. Padaca can no longer argue that the plea of Dy for the execution of the order pending appeal is premature and can not hold sway. The Dy camp complied with the law and even tolerated the delaying tactics of Padaca’s group that caused the Comelec to defer action on the protest for the last eight months. Padaca’s camp witnessed the revision of votes and their objections were heard and resolved in time. Where is the so-called injustice here? Padaca is not a Joan of Arc who is leading the campaign against a tyrannical political dynasty. Rather, her debacle in 2007 was her undoing and the Joan of Arc of Isabela must remember that her sins from 2004 to 2007 caused widespread disenchantment and led to the voter’s dumping her in the May 2007 polls. Padaca, for one, failed to equip and support the four public hospitals in Isabela along with the provincial hospital. Her strange P5-million spending was also disallowed by the Commission on Audit (COA), which found no reason for the expense. The Commission on Audit report showed that Padaca, between April 2 and May 2, 2007, has authorized , on atleast 35 occassions, the cash release of some P4.9million as “fund assistance” to her supporters. The state auditing agency noted that these cash releases violated Section 104 and Section 261 of the Omnibus Election Code. Section 104 refers to prohibited donations by candidates while Section 261 refers to prohibited acts during the elections to include vote buying and the release of public funds during the campaign period. The report, signed by the state auditor IV Beatriz Pataueg and Esperanza Baliton, noted that the COA has already sent 14 notices for Padaca to explain these disbursements but to no avail. The last indorsement sent to Padaca, thru COA regional officer in charge, Atty. Elwin Gregorio Torres, was dated May 29, 2009 and so far, it is not clear whether Padaca has answered the COA’s demand. The illegal disbursement of public funds is not good governance thus there is no tenable reason to allow unseated Padaca to occupy the office she has illegally usurped, as found by the Comelec. She also caused the unseating of department chiefs at the provincial capitol and waged a hate campaign against local officials suspected of being loyal to the Dy family. By now, the people should know that Padaca has four graft cases pending before the Office of the Ombudsman, including the misuse of funds on the few days leading to the 2007 elections. She must leave the provincial capitol now. We call every law-abiding Filipino to see the truth for what it is. We congratulate the Commission on Election for standing firm and abiding by the truth despite the insurmountable pressure brought about by the reckless and wanton attacks perpetrated by Padaca’s camp, a clear sign of her desperation. We beseech those who claim to be for truth and justice to accept what is genuinely true and genuinely just, not what they believe to be true and what they want to be just.

Grace Padaca from office as Governor of Isabela.. When Pilate sentenced the just and honest man, Jesus, Pilate condemned himself. We are not unaware of how the COMELEC has allowed itself to be prostituted to the altar of greed for power. The massacre in Maguindanao has unearthed collaborating evidences of the truth about the Garci scandal in 2004 and the cheating in 2007 where the opposition candidates got zero votes. Padaca and Panlilio have stood up against odds to honestly serve their constituents and resist corruption. Grace Padaca has even risked her position just to run after powerful people destroying the Sierra Madre. Panlilio has sacrificed temporarily the joy of offering the sacrifice of the Mass. These governors have sustained the hope of millions of Filipinos that there is still a possibility to struggle for a better Philippines through elections. Remove them from office and you send a very strong message to the Filipino people that COMELEC cannot be trusted in this coming election. They will have to look for an alternative to a peaceful transition for power. We appeal to the commissioners, officials and employees of the COMELEC not to be influenced by Bielzebub, the king of lies. May you heed the call of the advent season to repent and be converted to the Lord. Stand up to the challenge of the truth and to your sacred duty to guard democracy. At the height of the Marcos dictatorship the Spirit of truth inspired COMELEC employees that they could no longer stomach the lies of the Marcos government . They simply walked out of their job and that paved the way for people power. We became free from dictatorship. We appeal to all Filipinos of goodwill. Be courageous. Resist evil in all its forms even if it means sacrifice! In God the All powerful we have nothing to lose. If you do this, God will bless us with the birth of the Sun of Justice and Love: good governance and honesty where the people especially the poor are the masters and not those greedy for wealth and power. The Lord give us peace! (Sgd) Bro.

Our humbling job is to lead the way, to educate them, to stand by with them and help establish a sensible government. We have to have clean elections and the clean elections should start with a credible selection process. The people needs candidates who are truly reflective of the character of honesty and integrity.

For the past few months, since the consortium of Smartmatic-TIM won the Philippines election automation project, doubts and fears about the system as well as the machines have been raised and discussed everywhere. While many already concluded that the machines are vulnerable to hacking and vote modifications, Smartmatic-TIM in defense have continuously denied such allegations and shouted to the whole world saying their system and machines are not prone to hacking. So the unanswered question still lingers…is it really hackable? The PROBLEM… In the world of cyber security, it is presumed that nothing is impossible and everything is hackable. The only question is, WHEN? A system could be hacked tomorrow, next week, next month or next year, all these depends on the security measures implemented and the knowledge or the stupidity of those responsible in the field of cyber security. Smartmatic-TIM has continuously failed to demonstrate the level of security their system has or the level of security they are planning to implement to prevent possible election fraud and/or election failure. They however successfully ignited the wrath of malicious hackers (http://www.tribune.net.ph/headlines/20090820hed5.html ) and crackers to attack the election automation system by irresponsibly screaming to the whole world claiming their system is unhackable and even offering a 10M PHP reward to those who can successfully hack the system. The thing is, there are hackers who hack not for money, but for fame and personal satisfaction, but definitely there are those who do it for money, and 10M PHP is more than enough to give a free invite to these people. The ignorance of Smartmatic-TIM in terms of information security is obviously bottomless otherwise they wouldn’t have done that. Almost all those who dared hackers and irresponsibly advertised to the whole world that their system is secure have been hacked and humiliated. As a Filipino, this is scaring me, not because I am a Smartmatic-TIM sympathizer but because this would mean a failure to the 2010 national election. The QUESTIONS… Although it is very valid to raise our doubts and fears on the security of these machines, I don’t think we are asking the right questions. A lot of experts have given their point of views and the Government has been talking about conducting a source code review (which is good) but all of them did not satisfy my own doubts and fears. As far as I know, this is how data is going to be sent to the different levels (I could be wrong): From Poll precincts Upload from PCOS machines located in poll precincts to Central Server, Municipal level and Political Party Server From Municipal level Upload from Municipal to Central Server, Provincial level, and to Political Party Server From Provincial level Upload from Provincial level to Central Server, NBOC and Political Party Server From National level Upload from NBOC to Central Server and Political Party Server 1st: How will you secure the physical level access of the machines? 2nd: How will you secure the logical level access of the machines? 3rd: How will you protect the votes stored inside the machines? 4th: How will you secure the votes sent from the machines to the different levels (municipal, provincial, national, etc) during transmission to prevent information sniffing and hijacking? 5th: How will you secure the data when it arrives at the municipal level, provincial level, national level, etc? 6th: How will you make sure that the integrity of the data sent or received was not compromised and that the person who sent the data and the person who opened and received the data are the persons authorized to process the data? 7th: If in case the data is hijacked, how will you make sure that data will be unusable to the person who hijacked the data. 8th: If the data has been compromised, how long will it take for the hacker to read and modify the data? 9th: If the data has been successfully modified, how will you prevent the hacker from uploading the data to all levels and make it look it was sent by an authorized person? 10th: On the municipal level, how will you ensure that the data sent to the provincial level, national level, etc. are authentic and came from the authorized person in the municipal level? 11th: How will you prevent a massive Denial of Service of Distributed Denial of Service Attacks from happening? 12th: How will you ensure the integrity of the data sent and received as well as the person who sent and received the data? These are just some of the valid questions that Smartmatic-TIM so far failed to address and demonstrate. The INVISIBLE THREAT There is an ongoing war right now, it’s called Cyber War. Unlike the conventional type of war, cyber warfare is invisible, and you can be attacked by anyone from anywhere and you wouldn’t even know where the source of the attacks came from. There are also cyber mercenaries, those who get paid by successfully attacking a target, and no doubt these mercenaries would be more than happy to accommodate our corrupt politicians. How are you going to arrest or preempt an invisible threat or attacks? How are you going to pinpoint the location and source of these possible attacks? A million dollar question that can only be answered by those who truly understand these invisible threats, as well as the invisible threat catalysts, not by those who pretend to be experts in cyber security and not by those who read a lot about cyber security but haven’t really done it. The Filipino people deserves more, let us not put our trust to these pretenders, let us not put our future to these incompetent people, because protecting our votes this coming 2010 elections is protecting the future of our children and our children’s children. So, going back to the first question…IS IT HACKABLE? As an information security enthusiast and practitioner, my answer would be…WHO KNOWS? But I can surely say that Smartmatic-TIM guys are not that good and knowledgeable when it comes to information security and cyber attacks, they don’t understand how hackers think and they’ve got no freaking idea how they work. This makes it very scary.

Our situation is much worse than the martial law regime under President Marcos. Because of these, we had been searching for a leader who has the morally integrity to be our next president. With the sudden death of President Cory last August 1, 2009, God made a divine intervention (“Deus ex-machina”), in our history. God answered our prayers and He sent us a very important message that we, the Filipino people, deserve a second chance-- a second chance to restore our distorted moral values and to reconstruct our disintegrating political system. A humble and reluctant leader has emerged from the very lost of a great President. This man is no other than the son of our dearest President Cory-- Senator Noynoy Aquino. History has just repeated itself before our very eyes. With the turn of events, which started with President Cory’s funeral march was a “déjà vu” of Ninoy’s funeral march in 1983 that ignited the flame of nationalism in every Filipino’s heart. With Senator Mar Roxas’ withdrawal from the presidential bid, it reminded us of the Doy Laurel- Cory Aquino tandem in the 1985 election. Senator Doy Laurel made a great sacrifice, by giving up his personal ambition of the presidency for the sake of our country’s interest. Similarly, Senator Mar Roxas did a noble act of self-sacrifice and paved the way to Senator Noynoy to lead the 2010 presidential race. The unfolding of these events should take us seriously towards deeper introspection of God’s message. It is now the time that we let go of our own personal interest and think of what is best for our country. The May 2010 election is just around the corner. Let us value our sacred votes this time, and cast them to the most deserving candidate, the one who we can trust and can unite us together as a nation. In 1986, we fought the battle against the dictator. Filled with courage, together we marched to Camp Crame to show our unity and our strength as a people through people power. Victorious, we ousted President Marcos from power and we installed Cory to be our new president. But along the way we abandoned her and expected her to do miracles with all the mess that was left behind by President Marcos after he looted our nation’s wealth. By this time, we should have learned our lessons well. Our second chance is at hand-- the very chance of which we can redeem ourselves to restore our nation’s pride. Let us bear in mind that no president, no matter how morally good and intelligent he is, can make this country move forward unless we take part in rebuilding our distorted system of government and established institutions. Let us do our part as citizens of this country. Let us not cast only upon the shoulders of our next president the load of responsibilities, but let us contribute in our nation building, in reconstructing our broken moral values and resuscitating our drowning patriotism. President Cory’s death is the tipping point that we have been waiting for. It awakened our long dormant hearts thirsty for change. President Cory’s sufferings with colon cancer renewed Ninoy’s sacrifices. Her death was a new kind of martyrdom for the Filipino people—reminding us that every Filipino is worth dying for. But, have we asked ourselves if we are worth ding for? Senator Ninoy and President Cory sowed the seed of selfless leadership through their examples and by laying down their lives for the good of the country. It is now the time that we reap the fruits of their labor – and that fruit is Senator Noynoy. He is the fruit of a good tree, which Christ described in the Gospel. Many were awed by the story of the little Jiggy (President Cory’s grandson) and the jar of chocolates, when he asked her if it belongs to the Filipino people. It is clear how President molded in the young mind of the little Jiggy, that you should not steal the things that belong to the Filipino people. There is no doubt how Ninoy and Cory successfully raised their children and grandchildren with the right breeding, and inculcated in them what selfless public service and accountability really meant. Many criticized Noynoy for being so closely attached to his mother, but will that make him less of becoming a good President. Definitely not! His closeness to President Cory made him imbibed the values and characteristics we admired about Tita Cory. There is no doubt Senator Noynoy is the one, the Moses who will lead us to the desert of national restoration. He is the one, who has the moral ascendancy to lead us to the Promised Land, who is humble enough (just like his mother) to pass on the responsibility to Joshua (the next president) when his term ends. Just like in the Bible story, the role of Moses was to prepare his people for 40 years of purification on their way to the Promised Land. In the same manner, Senator Noynoy will pave us the way and will level off mountains of corruption and injustice as we traverse together the desert of our socio-political indifferences. In this time of change, what we need is a leader with an extraordinary breeding, like Senator Noynoy, who can motivate our people to take part in the ripple of change out of volunteerism and service. What we need is a leader like him whose bloodline has proven what self-sacrifice is all about by laying down one’s life for the sake of his people— the very virtue of shepherding, not of dictatorship. What we need is a leader like him who recognizes the strength of every Filipino by empowering them to be self-sufficient through micro-financing— the essence of the new people power that he learned from his mother. What we need is a leader, like him who has the moral integrity and credibility to lead this country, someone above the normal and traditional politicians. What we need is a leader, like him, who can inspire our citizenry with the true sense of patriotism, founded on love for God, country, and our fellowmen. What we need is a leader, like him, who can mobilize our people to preserve and protect our God-given natural resources and to develop our God-given talents to be self-sufficient in our food supply and basic services. What we need is a leader who is trustworthy to re-construct our constitution, rehabilitate our systems of government and institution, and who has the political will to establish controls to protect the integrity of public service. Senator Noynoy is the only one who is not deceptive in character. His honesty as a leader that flows within his veins will unite us together to rally behind him in his presidential aspiration. We need a leader like him who can win this election through our bare support and voluntary contributions as citizens for change. If we consolidate our votes together we will make history, and we install a leader who wins the presidency outside the traditional political campaign. Since he owes nobody but us, who pushed him to run for the sacred office, then, he has our mandate to lead us and he has all our support that he needs for change. We have to help Senator Noynoy to win, and we have to help him achieve this by making his position and platform of government clear to the masses. We must cascade the idea to every Filipino that we have no better alternative. If we really care for this country and think of the future of the succeeding generations, we have to campaign for Noynoy. We should make people understand that he can be our "Transition President"-- who will overhaul all systems of government and reconstruct our constitution by building a strong foundation that bears our very ideals as a nation. He is the one who can do this without any vested interest to reap the fruits of his labor and to go beyond his term. We have to help him then, in establishing safeguards to protect our new system of government and our new Constitution once put in place. So that, whoever will be the next president, we are assured that he has no power to obliterate and desecrate our Constitution just like in America. That is precisely the reason why in United States, the euphoria and the feeling of hope of every American, after having a newly elected president. Everybody knows he will imbibe and protect the idealism of their forefathers that were sown in the fore-grounds of their established institutions and system of government, that he, even as president, has no power to alter. Moreover, no one among our presidentiables is facing a greater accountability than Senator Noynoy. He bears the name of the two re-known heroes of our time. Surely, though he is not capable of doing it, he will not disgrace his family and much more the Filipino people who voted for him, of any act of corruption. No one is better qualified than him who grew up from hardships and sacrifices, whose father was a victim of political persecution. He is the son of the honest, prayerful, humble and patriotic president of our country. We are assured that he learned so many things from his first hand experience as he grew up beside President Cory. Senator Noynoy is well-equipped for the presidency. He has his father’s intelligence and his mother compassionate and peace-loving heart. He is ready to serve as our next president. If Senator Noynoy wins, we hope to see major changes in our political party system. We wish to go back to the two-party system, each of which will have a separate campaign funds generated from our annual taxes, so that every citizen will learn to value his vote to the letter. We hope we can make campaign funds from any supporters a crime, punishable by law so that we can do away with the “utang-na-loob” mentality. We hope to have elected Supreme Court Chief Justice and Ombudsman, instead of having them as presidential appointees. We hope to have court justices elected by the Judiciary and Bar Council through secret balloting just like during the election of the pope, and not appointed by the president. We hope to see the same process with the AFP Chief and Chief PNP. They should be elected through secret balloting by the board of Generals. We hope to see the practice of professionalism in all branches of government by making Secretary position a career path in every department, not presidential appointment. We hope to see key-positions to be elected, either by the people or the organizing body that they represent to get rid of the “tuta-mentality”. We hope to see the countryside develop to discourage people congesting in the cities jobless. We wish to see our police force utilized to patrol our highways in order to keep it safe and orderly, and not merely to escort VIP’s on roads to beat the traffic. We hope to see a president, who has the political will to impose discipline and safety consciousness to our public transport sectors, particularly jeepney and bus drivers and the maritime industry. Lastly, during his term we hope we can elect our Constitutional Convention delegates to work on charter change because we are assured of a president with a clean intent and a reliable delegation. The 2010 presidential election is our turning point; it is our very last chance for change. God gave us this second chance at hand to restore our nation from its spiritual deterioration, socio-political disintegration and moral decadence. Let us not waste this chance. Let us vote for Senator Noynoy – he is our only hope! He is the People’s President who can unite us together as a people. The choice is on our hands now, it is up to us whether to accept the challenge or not. The God given golden opportunity at hand it is up to us to decide. Mabuhay si Senator Noynoy! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

Every Filipino’s heart is in deep grief hearing the news of President Cory’s death. Though in the past days we joint our hands together in prayer asking God to extend her life as she courageously fought her colon cancer, God seemed to deprive us of our supplication. God, with His enormous power, could have done a great miracle restoring her back to health. However, it was President Cory who chose death and begged God to heal herself not but to heal the entire nation instead from its misery and ailing political situation. President Cory showed the real meaning of leadership and public service, the readiness to lay down one’s life for the sake of your people. She has chosen the better place now, where she could pray closer to God and intercede for our nation’s transformation. We lost not only a great leader, but also the icon of democracy. President Cory was no ordinary kind of president. She is the epitome of what a true leader must be. She was able to exercise power with virtue, leadership with example, service with self-sacrifice, and faith with charity and action. As Jesus said in the Gospel, “a tree can only be judge by its fruits—a good tree bears good fruits while a bad tree bears bad fruits.” After her term, President Cory stepped down from power with outmost humility, but he public life she never abandoned her destiny to be the front guard of our democracy and freedom. She is the symbol of our Power as people. And for a long as we keep President Cory in our hearts, the spirit of EDSA People Power will always live and alive in every Filipino who treasures democracy and freedom. When President Cory was in her painful ordeal fighting against her colon cancer, she renewed Ninoy’s sacrifice on August 21, 1983 “that every Filipino is worth dying for”. Having learned that the entire nation was offering multitude of prayers and healing masses for her recovery, she requested everyone to pray not for her healing anymore but for the healing of our nation. Upon hearing this, her children and loved ones willingly decided to give her up to God for our country’s sake. No Filipino family ever did what the Aquino family has ever done, they offered two lives for our future as a nation— the greatest example of sacrifice and love for country. What make us deserve for this extraordinary sacrifice? At 3:10 A.M. of August 1, 2009, President Cory offered her life in a bloodless martyrdom for the sake of our nation. President Cory had given us the example. When will we ever learned as a people? I think it is about time that we us ask ourselves, "are we worth dying for?" Let us not wait for another Filipino to offer his life in martyrdom. It is about time that we learn from the examples of Jose Rizal, Ninoy and President Cory what self-sacrifice and true love for country really mean. Let us offer our very selves to start the change, and let us make the difference this 2010 election by choosing the rightful leader to be our next president. To you President Cory, I salute you! You deserve our love and prayers. You will always be remembered as the most loved president ever lived in our history as a nation. Your legacies will remain alive in the hearts of every Filipino who values democracy, love for country and faith in God. Thank you for your examples and love.

After a few days He did it again, with seven loaves and a few fish, He fed four thousand men, women and children and still had seven baskets left over. Believe that Jesus will not let our hungry children starve to death. Divine Providence will guide our human intervention. While we continue to do our part and take action, let us pray to the Lord, the Blessed Mother of God, all the saints and angels to give us today our daily bread, forgive our trespasses, negligence, apathy, silence, and keep us from harm’s way.

How does one categorize Gov. Ed Panlilio? Panlilio:The Catholic Candidate[?'] Panlilio: The Only Alternative Panlilio: The Honest President Panlilio: Our President Perhaps it is smart NOT to categorize him as "THE" Catholic Candidate. At least not openly, hehe. Why not? Because many of the presidentiables are Catholics, including many crooked public officials, past and present. If things were left to me, I would like to start calling or referring to him as The Honest President, or Our President for maximum recall at the voting places, at the same time sending a subliminal message making the people get used to thinking and remembering him as, not the next president, but already The President of their Republic. 2010 will be a fight that Vatican cannot afford to lose. It is going to take a carefully designed secret survey of Panlilio's chances. If in its survey Panlilio is sure to win, it will quickly and dramatically grant Panlilio the dispensation he needs to run forpresident ['cuz there is no risk for its Catholicism getting shamed]. If in its survey Panlilio has only a 50-50 chance, or even less, I do not think the Vatican will be foolish enough to take the risk. Kasi pag natalo si Panlilio malaking kahihiyaan iyon sa Catholicism. Bababa siempre ang morale ng mga Katoliko, lalo na mga pari. 2010 will be a fight that Vatican cannot afford to ignore the redemptive opportunities in a Panlilio win for Catholicism in RP and in the rest of the world. If it should take a survey of how Panlilio's governorship has affected the Catholics in Pampanga, I would not be surprised if there is a significant interests and upsurge in attendance in religious activities, and a more pronounced overall religiosity of the Catholics. I would think even the Church collections have increased. There would also be an accompanying improved government service because people would be aware that God is now watching every government contract and service rendered or missed. Take the morale of the Filipinos now that they know that an honest man, a priest, is making a very big sacrifice for them. I am willing to bet that a survey would readily reveal a significant boost signifying approval of Panlilio's candidacy and a renewed hope for a truly progressive government. I hope it will not be only the Vatican who becomes aware of the great redemptive opportunity of a Panlilio presidency but also the very Filipino people themselves. For one thing, it will once more restore the good image of the Filipinos, here and abroad, and because of it there will be more investments coming in. For another, loans would not be a problem if needed as the number one scourge to repayment, the 30-40% corruptive SOP, under President Panlilio will be a thing of the past. Furthermore, school children will once more be proud of their public officials and once more take them as their role models and heroes. We lost a lot by foolishly choosing the wrong people to lead us. We need a president who can get back all that we lost - foremost are our morality and our hope. Yes, we need our morality back, everyone can see that, and it seems it is only Panlilio who can get it back for us. Yes, we need to win over hopelessness, and it seems it is only Panlilio who can give us once more a living hope that redeems, unites, builds, and carries on. Panlilio is a lot more. He is a miracle waiting to happen for all of us.

I hope you don’t miss the point being driven here. All things equal among the candidates, it is only Gov. Panlilio that we can give our trust. No other candidate because the rest of the pack are trapos! And trapos can’t be trusted. [Granting everything equal, given the choice between a trapo and a minister of the Lord God, the other faith believers – Muslims, Protestants, Charismatics, etc. – will not think twice in choosing the minister of the Lord God. Why? For the simple reason that a minister of any sect or religion is generally reputed to be an honest worker and deserving of one’s faith or trust.] Once Gov. Panlilio is president, then we'll help him to be president to do the specifics of the general tasks listed in his platform; the platform that was not of his design but the people's, which means we'll help him draft his platform in a well organized sequence the average Filipino can understand and relate. I hope the intellectuals, like the members of cybergroups, would appreciate the methodology of making the overwhelming majority, that is, of the average Filipino, understands in simple terms what he needs to look for in a candidate. In this particular election I think it is best to narrow down the criteria into one - WHO CAN WE TRUST. Herein lies the crux of his choice. I look at it this way. Let's give the average voter all the candidates' platforms that would be written, in all likelihood, with many unavoidable technical terms. How can you expect him to understand the technical jargon? If he does not get confused and instead get lucky to understand them [and how!] he will most likely end up saying, "They all have the "same" good programs and projects. These are all we need, but who can we trust to deliver them to me, to the people?" TRUST is the only criterion that truly matters at this time. The individual letters of the word TRUST may be made to represent the fine attributes of the candidates the average voter can identify and empathize; i.e., T-rue: to his calling as a public servant; takes to heart the motto, "A public office is a public trust"; R-eliable: always around for the people; satisfactorily doing his work most, if not all, of the time; U-nselfish: do [things] diligently not for himself but for all; S-incere: transparent in his serious desire to serve; no pretentiousness. T-rustworthy: putting our hopes upon an honest man [an honest ex-priest or has been and remains an honest public servant]. Under the prevailing circumstances, granting everything is equal for all candidates, the selection process to the average Filipino boils down to only one criterion - Trustworthiness; And this is one major requirement of character every Filipino voter sees so obviously missing in all our trapo candidates; a major characteristic in which Gov. Panlilio is richly endowed! In the light of what has been said, I can confidently conclude that on the basis of trust Panlilio is a sure winner. [I don’t know about you. It’s really your call and I respect your right to make your own conclusion.] Ogie
