Ramos calls ‘good move’ nephew’s move to Aquino camp
By Yolanda Sotelo – Inquirer Northern Luzon
In a statement, Braganza said he had asked permission from Ramos, his uncle, to join the LP and the former President gave his “blessings and smiled.”
“That is a good decision on your part,” Braganza quoted Ramos as telling him.
Braganza, together with other Pangasinan political leaders, took oaths as members of the LP during rites at the party headquarters in Quezon City on Friday.
Former Speaker Jose de Venecia Sr. said he saw the defections as a gesture of protest on the part of Lakas-CMD members in Pangasinan against the party’s merger with President Macapagal Arroyo’s political party, Kampi.
“The Pangasinan officials will strengthen the Liberal Party and the presidential and vice presidential bids of Senators Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas,” said De Venecia, one of the founders of Lakas who was ousted as Speaker after a falling out with Ms Arroyo.
"I am determined to continue the fight started by my father and my mother to see
that democracy takes root and is strengthened in our country. This cannot happen
in a government that serves the interest of the powerful few. We must strengthen
the institutions of government so that they truly serve the interests of our people."

This is good news. Therefore, we look forward to a Noynoy Caravan that will transverse through NCR, Pampanga, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan, La union Baguio, then back Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan and back to NCR. Baka mapuno ng tao ang National Road, I could just imagine.
How about kaya the Solid North ( Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, Cagayan and Abra ), can we crack into this probable Erap-Villar-Teodoro stronghold?
Chavit is an original LP. But I am not sure if he’s worthy of wearing a yellow shirt. Guys, alam ba ninyo that my lolo sa mother side used to be the mayor of Tagudin, Ilocos Norte? Original LP. He lived and died an LP. Pinatanggal ni Marcos to favor Crisologo.

To Awie and Lenlen Valdez; My father is from Taltal, Masinloc, Zambales while my mom hails from Tagudin, Ilocos Sur. My grandfather is former mayor Gervacio Valencia.
Speaking of Villar; I have a question for you. What are the similarities between Villar and Bilyar?
Answer :
1.) Parehong nabubuhay sa maraming bola.
2.) Parehong mahilig sa under the table. Di ba sa ilalim ng mesa lagay ng mga bola?
3.) Parehong NAGBABAYAD sa taga-ayos.
Remember yung news item regarding sa testimony nung former BIR director who testified on the pricing of Villar’s Lots ( relative to the C-5 controversy ). Well, this is a classic example kung paano inayos ni VILLAR ang media.
What was written in the newspaper is that inabsolve ng former director si Villar by saying na tama ang presyong P30,000 per Sq.Meter na binayaran ng gobyerno kay Villar sa Right of Way. Period. End of news item.
What was not written is the fact that the same fellow confirmed that adjacent lots were being sold at P4,000-P10,000 per Sq. Meter only. That she was almost held in contempt and that her reason for pricing the said lot that high is totally absurd. Biro mo namang sabihin niya na kaya daw ganun ang presyo niya ay para malaki ang babayarang tax ni Villar at di na niya inisip na kawawa naman ang gobyerno sa pagbabayad kay Bilyar, este Villar pala ng triple sa tamang presyo.
Sa ngayon, maraming binabayaran si Bilyar, este Villar pala, na mga announcers at writers para “tumbukin” si Noynoy. Maraming-marami. Si ako magtataka kung magbabayad din ito sa mga taga-ayos sa Comelec. Huwag naman po at magagalit ang taumbayan.

Oh, by the way. One of the campaign gimmicks of Villar is sponsoring Billiard Tournaments. Mabibigat ang sumasali like Bata reyes, Bustamante, etc.

Ang irony pa nito, di marunong mag-bilyar si Villar dahil ang kinalakihang niyang passtime sa Tondo ay GOLF.
Si Noynoy natin ang mahusay dito sa bilyar dahil ganito lang ka-simple lifestyle niya. Kaya nga sa election na ito, pinaglalaruan lang ni Noynoy si Bilyar, este Villar pala.

@Mas maganda pala kung mga babae ang kasama sa usapan, ang sense of humor ay nakakakiliti, hindi ka mapipikon. Si Hustisya hindi nawawalan ng patumbok na joke nagiging parang bola tuloy si Money pag natumbok parang hilong talilong, hehehe!!! @Awie and Hustisya you know it took me more than a month here before I was able to figure out that the both of you are “she”.

Hi, Engr. Jojo, Don’t u know that according to a study, male speaks an average of 25,000 words a day while female speaks 50,000 words a day. That explains everything.
@Lenlen, dapat nga segurong itapon na si Villar sa dagat, no? Masyado na kasi siyang malansa. But on second thought, toxic material yun baka naman magkasala tayo sa kalikasan. By the way, if an average male speaks an average of 25,000 words a day. Villar speaks far more that with his average of 25 political advertisements on TV a day. Each commercial costs P350,000 per 30-second commercial. This translate to P8,750,000 a day or P262,500,000 a month. Even with 30% discount which TV stations normally give as freebies or dagdag, that is still P183,750,000 a month. Eh, nung last year pa ito nagko-commercial. Assuming 18 months na, easily that is already P3,307,500,000!!! If this is the trend, Villar will probably spend around 10 Billion in this election!!! Grabe na to.
Baka naman talagang ang admin na ang financier ni Villar. Huwag na muna nating isiping kung paano niya babawiin, ang itanong muna natin sa kanya, san ba niya kinukuha ang ibinabayad sa mga TV commercials niya?

@Mark, si Pedrosa sa PhilStar kay Gibo at GMA yan, kunyari pa “objective” kuno. Excuse me? Ayaw pa aminin eh halatang-halata naman. Isang bes ko lang binasa yung column niya alam ko na agad kung ano kulay niya. Kung tumira kay Noynoy yan, ganon na lang. Meron akong listahan ng mga columnista na “make my day” at “kill my day” – nasa top 10 siya don sa “kill” day. Why do I read her and her kind? Just to know what and how the enemy thinks, at ang bi-effect don eh mas lumalakas ang paniniwala ko sa misyon nina Noy at Mar. Meron din “comment” portion si Bruhilda kaya I hope Hustisya will go there with guns ablazing and really do “justice” to this person with a poisonous pen. Envelopmental journalism, yun lang.
