There is no doubt that Filipino meals are one of the world’s best dishes which not only Filipinos themselves appreciate much likewise also by non-Filipinos who have tasted Filipino dishes. Thus, there is indeed no doubt that a simple Filipino Sinigang dish has make it on the list of Asia’s Best Menus on recently concluded 4th Miele Guide Gala Night held at Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore.

Miele Guide Gala Night is an event organized by the Miele Guide in Asia that will showcased restaurants in Asia that has best menus and that of course will be feature on the Miele Guide Book which the Miele Guide is. Yes, Miele Guide is as Wikipedia said, it is a regional guide book to all restaurants in Asia which can be useful for tourists who are seeking fine dining or good restaurants in Asia to dine. It showcased Top 20 restaurants in Asia aside from list of categorized restaurants in Asia in their annual book. The top 20 is judge base on online voting on their website and of course sample taste of the menus in a particular restaurant. And from this, the Filipinos’ Sinigang dish was included on this year’s Asia’s Best Menus on the Miele Guide Book. Actually, it is the “Beef Sinigang” cook by Filipino chef Antonio “Tonyboy” Escalante got the taste approval of the juries from his fine dining restaurant that bears his first name that is “Antonio’s Fine Dining”

His restaurant have already listed on the 2008 Top 20 restaurant in Asia on Miele Guide Book as one of the best restaurant in Asia landing at # 10 spot, thus making him one of the trusted and credible chef in the Philippines.

The beef siningang was described on the menu guide as “beef served in a sour tamarind and taro broth puree” or in Tagalog calling “Sinigang na Baka sa Sampalok at Gabi/gandos”.It is very common simple recipe or Filipino dish that every Filipino could cook won the taste of an international jury?; that is a big thing, but of course not only this delicious Filipino soup dish impress the judges but also the brilliance of Chef Antonio Escalante brings it on.

However, it is not only chef Escalante the only Filipino chef present in the latest Miele Guide Gala Night but also other Filipino chefs with their respective restaurants, namely, Restaurant Verbena in Tagaytay, Goose Station at The Fort, Steakhouse 22 Prime in Ortigas city, Circulo in Makati city,Alchemy and Indigo in Boracay, Abaca and The Gustavian in Cebu, Hill Station in Baguio city, Tatoy’s in Iloilo city, Alive! At the Farm in Batamgas city, and KaLui in Puerto Princesa.

Aside from the lingering fear and spreading worldwide belief that year 2012 could be the year of the much awaited event of the religious fanatics, particularly, the fanatics of Christianity, that is, ”End of the World/Judgment Day” but to spiritual mystics it is the “End and Beginning of New Era of Consciousness”, what could be the last fashion sense of the present humanity will wear before the old era will explode and give birth a new era of consciousness on earth if in case the predictions and prophecy regarding 2012 could be true after all?

Actually twenty one fashion designers forecast or predicted what will be the trending clothing this forthcoming year (year 2012) and presented a glimpse what to expect on fashion world on the year 2012 like the spiritual mystics presenting information what could be expected on the year 2012, on twenty one shows (one show per one designer per week) presented by Fashion Design Council of the Philippines on their Annual Fashion Series at the Rizal Ballroom of Makati Shangri-La Hotel.

Here are what some top designers on this fashion gala show has to say about what will be the vogue dress up this coming 2012.

Ferdi Abuel – sheer body silhouettes; skin-revealing clothing with featured lace pants and tiered skirts; and cummerbunds (for men and women?)

Ivarluski Aseron – peek-a-boo bodies and cut outs dresses for women; redefined pantsuits

Dennis Lustico – sheer serpentinas with bows and frills
Alex Bitong – British vibe with Mao suit paired with rubber sneakers for men

James Reyes – bustle and bouffant skirt with ruched bodices

JC Buendia – goes back to classic cream-colored coat-and-tie

OJ Hofer – pink jersey body-huggers

Ito Curata – ruffled vermilion with back plunge dress

Philip Rodriguez – flimsy floral frocks that comes in varying shades of aubergine

Patrice Ramos Diaz – the coming back of Palazzo pants

Joey Escober – canary yellow dresses

Joel Samson – plaid pantsuits

Joji Lloren – tent dresses and origami pleating dress or a combo of the two

Jun Escario – Cleopatra-inspired metallic blocks dress

Jerome Lorico – knitted men’s suiting and knitted uneven dresses

Lulu Tan-Gan – abaca made poncho overlays and tribal cuffs and belts

Arcy Gayatin – peacock plume dress paired with men’s bow-tie suit

Gian Romano – leathered Japanese anime dress

But these are all forecast what people would be in trendy this coming 2012 but of course few only will have to show it off if they could carry the dress lest they will look drag and just resort to what they usually dress up and accustomed to wear. But sometimes one have to comply forcibly on the latest trends in dressing like you can wear anymore gowns today as your daily dress, is not it? or can you wear g-string while shopping in malls today, no more is not it?

To wrap up, according to world renowned Filipino fashion designer in the Philippines, Inno Sotto : “Fashion changes, and Fashion Watch is committed to these changes that are altogether new. This fashion series showcase the creativity of various individual works. It is a show of fashion designers for fashion designers; featuring the creations of the best and the brightest,”

Yup, fashion changes whether one like it or not; one have to comply the latest clothing to wear else what I have said above, you will look out dated or living in another time frame though you are not only because of your own fashion that never changes. Thus, one is forcibly should comply and look for the latest trends in dressing up.
However, there are fashions in the past that can be reincarnated back and be the latest vogue, so fortunate are you if you dislike going on the flow of latest fashion, for you might not know that your old fashion way of dressing up could be the next vogue in fashion.

Amidst of the political profligacy happening in the Philippines which only leads the entire Filipino race into a vindictive and licentious culture, creeping preternatural phenomena take place which some Filipinos would not bother to think about but too much preoccupation of feasting on political witch-hunting against a former leader of their country have made their psychic minds stupor about the omens in regards to what is happening now in the Philippines, as the consequences of their profligacy on political hypocrisy rather than polarizing the spiritual future of their race; for they themselves devour one another.

These preternatural events are the back to back crimes and suicides that have distinctive similar themes that reflect a perturbed race aside from political crises and human rights violation which happens since the reign of late former Philippine president Corazon Aquino.
Here are the latest back to back events which I noticed that has the same theme.

1. The Ramgen Revilla murder back to back with Ricky Pempengco’s murder. Both murdered victims are family members of a famous celebrity in the Philippines, Senator and actor Ramon Bong Revilla and the young international singing sensation Charice Pempengco , respectively. Both murders are caused by a fight on something; both were stabbed.

2. Back to Back Suicides. Earlier before the back to back murder of Ramgen Revilla and Ricky Pempengco is the back to back suicide incidents of two broken hearted or depressed Filipino men who jump their way to death on a commercial establishment on the upper story of the commercial building.

First, act October 20,2011,an anonymous guy jump on his suicide death on the mall of Robinson at Imus Cavite, then days after ,the 20 year old grandson of former vice-President of the Philippines Teofisto Guingona Jr., jump his way into his suicide death from the open-viewing deck of SkyLounge bar and restaurant establishment. The young man was said to be broken hearted and depressed and could not bear at his young age the pain incurred by depression, thus he commit suicide by jumping from the open deck of SkyLounge to end the misery he is experiencing during those moments.

Both are male; both are said to be depressed and broken-hearted and both jump to suicide death from an upper story of a commercial establishment, both suicidal incident were not made sensational in the media.

3. Back To Back Shooting Incidents inside a Mall. Who can forget the back to back shooting events on two SM malls perpetrated by crimes of love. Both suspect are somewhat erstwhile partner that wants their former partner together with them in death. Both successfully enter a gun secretly from the security officers on the entrance of the mall. The straight erstwhile couple on SM North Edsa are said to be from Pampanga while the gay erstwhile couple where in SM Pampanga where the shooting incident happens. Both fatalities are male ones. Both happen inside the SM Malls.

4. The Back To Back Carjacking incidents. There are many carjacking incidents but who can forget the almost same theme of Emerson Lozano-Venson Evangelista carjacking murder case were both are killed by gunshot and burned.

What I listed above are just handful cases of a back to back crimes that happens recently in the Philippines there are crimes and incidents in the past which have a similar back to back theme, like the back to back bus tragedies, family massacres, back to back rape cases, back to back road accidents, back to back ambushes and salvage, etc. But no one dares to care to explain why such crimes or incidents happens in two or is it just mere coincidence or omens what the Philippines will be become for the next forthcoming years? Signs that the Philippines is not headed to a bright future but omens to more darker Philippines, like what is currently happening now in the Philippines, most especially the political system of it, but are majority of Filipinos care for their race or just want to destroy themselves asunder?

The Philippines famous TV host and comedian Mr. Joey de Leon guesting on ABS-CBN TV program “The Buzz” to promote his movie “Won’t Last A Day Without You” becomes a trending tweets on the world famous micro blogging site Tweeter on regards to Philippine tweets. This is so because Joey de Leon is known in the Philippine Entertainment industry that badmouths openly on his own shows on the rival network of ABS-CBN, which is GMA channel 7,shows on ABS-CBN particularly their rival noontime shows from Magandang Tanghali Bayan (MTB) to Wowowee and even on ratings game, whereas, he is a former TV host and star on ABS-CBN then before his noontime show “Eat Bulaga” transfer to GMA channel 7.Thus,his guesting on an ABS-CBN show recently at the “The Buzz” was a big surprise for most Filipinos who know him.

According to him on his interview with Ms. Toni Gonzaga on the ABS-CBN show “The Buzz”, he already want to erase the loyalist-type attitude whenever TV station he may be; no more “Kapuso,””Kapamilya”,or “Kapatid” mindset.For according to him, he learned something from being part of almost every TV stations in the Philippines from RPN channel 9 to ABS-CBN channel 2 to GMA channel 7 and now to TV5 channel 5 and realized they are all His’ and all have made him what he is now.

Thus, he is now guesting on an ABS-CBN show no more with a bitter heart and a bad mouth, to promote his latest movie, ”Won’t Last A Day Without You” wherein the movie he is promoting is produced by ABS-CBN by its film production Star Cinema.

This is actually a good step for him to cleanse some of his bad image that have linger on the memories of some Filipino viewers by his badmouthing activities then on public TV, into a renewed and truly wholesome Joey de Leon which is he tries to project since then as a Philippine comedian.

Speaking of badmouthing rival shows on one’s own TV show, a young matinee idol is following this step without a spark of consciousness that it could tainted his sweet and heartthrob image on the Philippine Entertainment industry.

The young famous actor I am talking about is Mr. Richard Gutierrez, who unknowingly spews“fucking” words that will screw up his sweet and heartthrob image on his Reality show “Survivor Philippines” by comparing his show against the rival reality show on other network. The rival reality show he has badmouthed on his own reality show is the Pinoy Big Brother.

Here his statement: “If you want pampering, and total safety join that fucking Pinoy Big Brother! This is survivor!”

He said this to Team Tala on his show “Survivor Philippines”. However, on the second thought, is his statement a part of the script he just acting as an aggressive host on an aggressive show? If so, still the script writers have put Richard Gutierrez on the bad light by speaking up a bad word (“fucking”) against the rival show. But if not since his show is a reality show, it could be his own words, then he is guilty of badmouthing a rival reality show. So far, Richard Gutierrez hasn’t yet commented on this issue.

Actually, badmouthing a rival show on one’s TV show on public is a projection of one’s insecurity on one’s TV show against the rival show on other rival network or TV station, because the rival shows have something that rocks the status quo of one’s show, like TV ratings or public viewership and sponsors.

Badmouthing another rival show is an easy yet bad way to get notice from the public and raise one’s show’s TV ratings or viewership using the high ratings of the rival show through casting something fishy against it.

The Rule of Evil Disguise as Good in the Philippines

From the very start, the election case filed by the Aquino government against former Philippine president now Pampanga representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo already involved “Irregularities” and “corruption” of law proceedings, why this faulty flawed case still continues to progress as if it follows the standard operating procedures of filing a case and shows to the public that it is legal and have no any “irregularities” and “corruption”? This is already an obvious abuse of power and deliberate manipulation of the law of the Aquino administration just only to suit their raging hatred toward Mrs. Arroyo and just only to show to the public that the Aquino administration is rigid and true on its campaign against graft and corruption? Something really already amiss and some Filipinos are missing the right thing but was trick and made dupe by the Aquino administration. This stealthy public deception must be stop, but the Filipinos are not stopping its illegal and corrupt tracks because some Filipinos are brainwashed to think that Mrs. Arroyo is indeed guilty of the allegations which have not yet proven to be true and they want the blood of Mrs. Arroyo.How barbaric and blood-thirsty are some Filipinos; if Mrs. Arroyo is indeed innocent why push more hardly(bakit pagpipilitan) and desperately that Mrs. Arroyo is guilty of the allegations whereas she is not; are some Filipinos insane? Or are some Filipinos are very self-conceited to admit their own mistakes to the world? Or is it the Aquino administration and it followers and believers are the only insane, obsessed and corrupt?

Actually, the Supreme Court’s temporary restraining order is still in effect and Mrs. Arroyo could still avail to it. The arrest and the jailing of Mrs. Arroyo is indeed manipulation and bending of the law proceedings and the Aquino administration is fooling and deceiving the public to be legal and the some ignoramus were nodding to it only because they have also personal hatred and vendetta against Mrs. Arroyo. The Philippine government is playing Injustice through hatred and vendetta for are the so-called evidences, really evidences? And where are the evidences that will prove the allegation?

Even Senator Koko Pimentel who foolishly the one who file electoral sabotage case against Mrs. Arroyo last November which lead to uncanny arrest of Mrs. Arroyo now believe there is no link that will prove the allegations against Mrs. Arroyo.

Some Points to Consider, why the case and the allegations should be dismiss

1. Evidences are based on hearsay only and even doctored and deliberately bias evidence like the “Hello Garci” tape recording. This is not admissible and acceptable in the court unless the Aquino administration “Satanized” the court to bow down to his narcisstic hypocritical rule that will make the unlawful into lawful one. For according to PNoy he is the Moral Law.

2. Electoral Sabotage case (2004 election).There is no electoral sabotage law during 2004 but actually just created after 2004, what can only be charge is election fraud which is bailable and could take 10 years. Moreover, is the Anti-GMA camp especially the Aquino administration having solid concrete evidence to prove this allegation of them against Mrs. Arroyo?

3. Electoral Sabotage case (2007 election).Norie Unas as witness? What a joke. Aside from not credible witness, former Philippine president now Pampanga representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is not candidate of this election and there is no solid evidence yet that will link to Mrs. Arroyo on the said electoral cheating in Maguindanao but all pure malice and speculations nothing else.

4. Plunder cases. Again is there are solid evidences so far that will link to Mrs. Arroyo about pocketing millions of government funds on her own pocket? So far, NONE.

5. DOJ-Comelec case against Gloria violates Comelec Rules of Procedure for a quorum and votes and DOJ sec, De Lima disrespect Supreme Court’s TRO but reason out subjectively bias against Mrs. Arroyo travel ban. Now DOJ sec. De Lima is facing contempt and disbarment case.

6. The rush electoral sabotage case file against Mrs. Arroyo at the height of Mrs. Arroyo supposed departure lacks “due process” and obviously a perversion of a SOP law proceedings regarding filing a case and violation of the Supreme Court’s TRO. “How can you possibly file a case with allegedly eight volumes of documents and evidence only three days after the SC has issued a TRO order on the travel ban?”-Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago. Thus, the arrest and house arrest and plan incarceration of Mrs. Arroyo by the Anti-GMA camp especially the Aquino administration is ILLEGAL AND UNLAWFUL.HEY FILIPINOS WAKE UP! Don’t be fool buy those who pretend to be good and heroes of the Filipinos whereas they are not.

7. How can the allegations moves further if the Anti-GMA have no any solid evidences to back up their case. The recent arrest of Mrs. Arroyo is indeed a clear cut manipulation of the law and abuse of power and authority by the Aquino administration just only to prove to its blood-thirsty Filipino admirers that they have now file a case against Mrs. Arroyo and will finally jail her and will feast on her blood.

“Mega Epal” case is what Bayan Muna party list Representative Teddy Casino see at Bohol Representative Rene Relampagos’ propose bill to rename again the main circumferential road and highway of Manila that stretched from Balintawak in Quezon City to Pasay City which is originally known as 19 de Junio (June 19) and then as Highway 54 and then EDSA; from Epifanio de los Santos Avenue(EDSA) into Cory Aquino Avenue which violates the “Anti-Epal” Bill of not attaching the name of any Philippine politicians in any government infrastructure.
Aside from violating the “Anti-Epal” Bill, Bayan Muna party list Representative Teddy Casino, said that what happened on People Power on the grounds of EDSA is not about Corazon (Cory) Aquino but the uprising that took place on EDSA is about the people’s struggle against “tyranny” of Ferdinand Marcos, according to him. Thus, according to him, it is not right to rename EDSA into Cory Aquino Avenue.

With the same sentiments, House Minority Leader Edcel Lagman said that that it is difficult to erase the name EDSA because according to him, that is already an institution that Filipinos should honor rather than discard it and that should not be tampered. Moreover, he even suggest that the Aquino administration that wants highway that can be name in his late mother should instead rename the road that leads to Hacienda Luisita (perhaps, Lagman refers to SCTEX (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway))

Filipino netizens also disagree about the proposed bill and utterly say “No” to it and even scoff Cory because Cory was not really present during the People Power but some says she is in Cebu during those times, as well Bohol Representative Rene Relampagos who propose the bill was scoff and label as “sip-sip” on the Aquino clan.

But Bohol Representative Rene Relampagos said that he has an idea to rename EDSA into Cory Aquino Avenue because according to him that one cannot think of 1986 EDSA Revolution without thinking of Corazon C. Aquino, thus, according to him, it is only fitting to give her the tribute.

However, actually, this idea of renaming again the Highway 54 into a new name or from EDSA into Cory Aquino Avenue was not originally an idea of Bohol Representative Rene Relampagos but rather it was first an idea of former senator Mar Roxas who propose it days after when Cory died of colon cancer.

By the way, Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) was constructed during the presidency of Manuel L.Quezon and was originally named after the birthday of the famous Filipino hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, thus the highway got its first name as 19 de Junio or June 19.And then was renamed into Highway 54 under Republic Act No. 2140 in 1959 and again was further renamed in honor of a noted Filipino historian, Epifanio de los Santos. Thus, EDSA or Epifanio de los Santos Avenue.

So far, this city in the Philippines is the first to recognize gay rights within their city and create a rights desk for the gays, transgender, lesbians, and bisexuals city within their Anti-Discrimination Ordinance compare to other cities in the Philippines that still promotes discrimination among their gays transgender,lesbians and bisexual constituents – Angeles City, Pampanga.

Angeles city Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan has ordered the creation of “Gay Rights Desk” that will link to Angeles City Multi-Sectoral Consultative Council (ACMCC) wherein the gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender will also have privileges to experience the services and promotions that promote their welfare and rights in the society like to those class of people that has been discriminated unjustly in the society. According to Mayor Pamintuan, he wants his city or he wants Angeles city to be a kind of city in the Philippines that is sensitive to equal rights and welfare of all types of people in the society and that values equality and human rights.

“I want Angeles City to be the most sensitive city and local government in the Philippines to gender equality and gay rights!…… Here in Angeles, one’s right is everyone’s right. Consider Angeles City as a hallowed ground insofar as respecting and advancing the rights and welfare of all citizens are concerned,” – he said.

Consequently, spokesperson of the Progressive Organization of Gays in the Philippines (ProGay), Goya Candelario commend and praised Mayor Pamintuan for his sensitivity among the LGBT community within his city and for recognizing the LGBT community as part of a society that contributes to the progress of a community or society.

“…our way of recognizing the role and potentials of the gay sector in the development and progress of our city.” –Mayor Pamintuan.

If Department of Justice(DOJ) secretary Laila De Lima wherein she now face not only contempt and possible jailing for her defiance from Supreme Court ‘s temporary restraining order (TRO) but also a disbarment case against her, is truly practicing the rule of law and just as she claim, why does her action is tainted with anti-GMA agenda or with Bias action instead of being fair and neutral(for that what Justice means, it is neither side of any political party ),like violating the temporary restraining order (TRO) with a reason coming from Anti-GMA camp; like foolishly believing a text message from unknown source only because the name of Mrs. Arroyo is involved in it that Mrs. Arroyo is seeking political asylum from Dominican Republic and Spain without validating or confirming it first from the said countries before disclosing it to the public; alleging the doctors of Mrs. Arroyo, as well as having personal malice that Mrs. Arroyo is just mere malingering and have no life-threatening disease without any evidences; not respecting the decision of the court that Hubert Webb is not guilty but still accept evidences that will jeopardize Hubert Webb; etc.?

She cannot reason out that she is just doing her job and following the orders of PNoy for actually she is not doing her job as secretary of Department of Justice but rather obviously acting as a defense lawyer of Noynoy camp instead.

See, in her defenses, there is her bias against the Arroyo camp which she should not be because she is not a defense lawyer of the Yellow camp but a secretary of Justice.

In my opinion, it is only right she will be disbarred because she is not doing her job as secretary of Justice and not practicing fairness and rule of law in her treatment to the Arroyo camp for she acts bias and unprofessional(with her blunders and denial of them)

Like a whining child that has been pacified is what the Noynoy administration behaves recently but to his believers, the pacification is a heroic deed when they successfully stop the departure of Philippine former president now Pampanga representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo from seeking medical treatment for her bone health problem outside the Philippines and finally able to file a (actually flawed) case against her which Noynoy arrogantly boast to his believers that what transpires is the start of his rigid campaign against corruption and he will triple his ( Hatred? Obsession? Insanity?) effort to persecute Mrs. Arroyo until he finally become successful in incarcerating her even though his ways of persecuting Mrs. Arroyo is dissentingly unlawful and contrary to the laws of the Supreme Court. For according to his imbecile and narcisstic mindset that he is the Right and the Truth and on the side of the Good.

“No matter what the law or legal order coming from the highest court in the land says, as long as I believe these to be biased against me and favor only a select few, I am intimated broadly in defying the Rule of Law. I am ready to do this because at my side are the moral right and judgment, and the truth, and more than anything, the Filipino people are on my side.” – Noynoy at his own speech at National Bureau of Investigation’s 75th Anniversary, Nov. 23, 2011.

For now, his whining and bias team (KKK and Department of Justice (DOJ) sec. Laila De Lima) has been pacified and flip from saying that the Supreme Court is all wrong and bias against them and them are the truly right into declaring that they now rely on the decision of the Supreme Court regarding the detention of Mrs. Arroyo if house arrest or incarceration is necessary as long as Mrs. Arroyo is detained. See their imbecile thinking; they are now pacified because they already get what they want against Mrs .Arroyo. But they still want more of course.

“We’re confident that the Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality in our favor,” – Edwin Lacierda, spokeperson of Noynoy administration. Take note, “in our favor”; see their bias; Justice for them is what favors their whimsical speculations and malice against Mrs. Arroyo and not by the Rule of the Law objectively.

Actually, they are whining like this against the Supreme Court because the Supreme Court junk Noynoy’s “Truth Commission” wherein the Supreme Court finds it unconstitutionally wrong for there is already an existing government body that will investigate regarding criminal cases and this “Truth Commission” is obviously a biased and hate motivated body whose aim is only to persecute unjustly Mrs. Arroyo; a body that will violate Mrs. Arroyo’s human rights. The Supreme Court cannot tolerate such obviously bias body for the Supreme Court aim fairness and Just to all Filipino citizens in an objective way.

They also complain about the existence of Judges in the Supreme Court that are former ally of Mrs. Arroyo and want them to be remove because they suspect bias on the decision making of the judges but they willfully forget that they too have Judges in the Supreme Court which are their ally. How hypocrite these Yellow camp!

They too also rejoice upon knowing from the doctors of Mrs. Arroyo that her health is improving and can be already discharge and treated as an outpatient which they think could prove their suspicion and speculations that Mrs. Arroyo is just malingering and have secret plan to escape the allegations against her. But on the contrary, it doesn’t prove anything regarding their suspicion but rather it only proves that they are speculating again and desperately helpless in seeking fault against Mrs. Arroyo; anything that can bridge a link to their malice, they will accept like the “Text Scam” regarding Mrs. Arroyo’s application of asylum at the Dominican Republic which DOJ sec. De Lima foolishly believe only because the name of Mrs. Arroyo is attached and implicated into it. See they do not actually have any solid concrete evidence against their allegations against Mrs. Arroyo but deceiving the Filipino public that they have many evidences; but where are these evidences they boast? Perhaps, evidences like “text scam” are what they mean? What a Joke!

How can DOJ sec. De Lima prove that Mrs. Arroyo is just malingering only because the doctors say her health is improving? De Lima should be now cautious because she has already committed some blunders in the past if she doesn’t want her credibility to slide down the drain totally.

Furthermore, to inflict more on the weakness of the case and allegations of Noynoy’s camp against Mrs. Arroyo, their faulty case filed against Mrs. Arroyo which they thought in their self-righteous mindset that the case they file is legal and right just to stop Mrs. Arroyo from leaving the country is their witness, former provincial administrator Norie Unas whose testimony against Mrs. Arroyo on regards to electoral sabotage or election fraud on 2007 is just based on a mere Pure HEARSAY!

For according to the testimony of this witness, he just heard Mrs. Arroyo instructing Ampatuan the assurance of victory of Team Unity 12-0 victory in the Malacanang days before the 2007 polls without validating first what was the meaning of what he have heard.
Actually, any political parties who have bets for elections are aspiring for landslide victory of their team in the election, is not it? And will optimistically declare and cheers for landslide victory like “12-0 victory for Team Unity!” or “12-0 victory for Liberal Party!” even though they do not mean they will cheat on the election in order for their team to have landslide victory but rather their cheers is just a mere positive encouragement for the team; it doesn’t mean that the political party is already aiming widespread cheating just to met their optimistic goal of landslide victory for their team, unless one can prove that there is indeed a secret plan to do widespread cheating. But how can Norie Unas prove his suspicion if it is just his mere suspicion?

Truly the witness base his testimony on his pure malice and speculations and not base on facts and evidences. Does he have very solid convincing evidences to prove his allegations against Mrs. Arroyo or his evidence is just his mere personal suspicion and lapsing memory during those days?

This pacified whining and rejoice of them only proves that their allegations against Mrs. Arroyo is just a mere pure gossips, wild speculations and baseless malice that breeds on hatred and revenge against Mrs. Arroyo not with an objective mindset that seeks fairness and justice. It is just a mere political propaganda in order for them to stay in power and authority over the Filipino public by demonizing one’s political opponent while painting their image in the public as Heroes.

The rush to file a formal case against the Philippines former president now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo by her political opponents just not to put the Aquino government from big shame from its promise to jail former president now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo and prove the allegations to be true and factual seem to fail quickly also.

According to Arroyo counsel and spokesman Ferdinand Topacio, as well to Senators Juan Ponce Enrile and Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, the case lodged by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) is “fatally flawed and may be annulled” and lacks “due process”, respectively. The speed of filing the case was obvious that the case was “railroad” just only to avert the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) issued by the Supreme Court and the case was obviously have no solid grounds for they have many days to file their complaints against former president now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo but suddenly they quickly produce and process an instant case only because of the Supreme Court’s issuance of the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO); which is dubious.

The section 5, rule 3 of the Comelec Rules of Procedure was violated by the Commission on Elections (Comelec), according to Arroyo counsel and spokesman Ferdinand Topacio; as well as Section 1, Rule 4 of the Comelec Rules of Procedure. In order to have a legal complaint, majority of the Comelec commissioners should concur in filing a complaint against the former president now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo but according to Arroyo counsel and spokesman Ferdinand Topacio this was not met and even violated. For in order to have majority concur, there should be Four(4) Commissioners that will concur out of six(6) Comelec Commissioners except for the Chairman.
The ruling was just three Commissioners but it was deceitfully shown that there are four Commissioners who concur on filing a complaint against the Philippines former president now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo; for the other Comelec commissioner who voted is a Chairman. The Comelec Chairman according to Comelec Rules of Procedure Section 1, Rule 4 should not be included on the voting. Thus, the Comelec complaint against Philippines former president now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo is “fatally flawed” or illegal. For there are only three Comelec Commissioners who concur out of six Comelec Commissioners which should be four in order the complaint be legal.

The three Comelec Commissioners who concurred were: Christian Robert Lim, Augusto Lagman and Rene Sarmiento; while the three Comelec Commissioners who do not voted were : Lucenito Tagle, Yusoph and Velasco; while the Chairman who supposedly should not voted but violated Section 1,Rule 4 of the Comelec Rules of Procedures is Sixto Brillantes.

“Since Brillantes should have inhibited himself, how many Commissioners would have been left to approve of the Resolution? Three, which is not a majority of seven, since a majority would be four votes that are needed to validly promulgate the Resolution which could not have been validly promulgated,”

With Sixto Brillantes, unethical act and violation of the Comelec Rules of Procedures in a rush to file a complaint against Philippines former president now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo he already committed Unjust and Unfair handling of the case as well as violation of due process promise by the Constitution.

Senators Juan Ponce Enrile and Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago even agreed that the Noynoy Aquino administration handles the supposed case of Philippines former president now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo without “due process” even though Hypocritically PNoy promise (actually empty promise) that Philippines former president now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo will be treated with “due process” to those Gullible Filipinos he can deceive.

“It seems to have been rushed. The impression (it left) is that, the filing of the case was railroaded,… the purpose of the filing of the case was precisely to preempt the SC and that is the more delicate part of this whole thing because there is an erosion of check and balance in the country, there is an erosion of the credence of the institutions of government that protects the liberty of the people…” – Sen.Juan Ponce Enrile

“We can see from the timeline alone that there appears to be a movement in bad faith on the part of the administration to prevent Rep. Arroyo from leaving the country at all. They could have filed that case long before or long after, but why file right after the SC has ruled that her right to travel must be respected?..So the better argument is: there is no due process of law and there is inherent bad faith in the timing of the filing of the case in the RTC (Pasay City regional trial court) and the consequent issuance of the warrant of arrest; and that there is political persecution.

“Due process of law means you notify the accused what she is accused of, you give her full notice of what is supposed to be lodged against her, what is the evidence if possible, and then give her a full period of time to submit her counter-evidence,” – Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago
