pwedeng pwede !!!
If Noynoy was born another de la Cruz instead of an Aquino, would the meadia and opposition members treat him the same way? I doubt.
Hahaha! He’s no more than his last name. That’s all.
Why Noynoy? The answer, to my mind, is plain and simple. Of all the wannabes, only Noynoy can be expected to put the country’s interest first. Only Noynoy can be expected to serve with honesty. Only Noynoy can be excpected to go after all the officials of the land who have plundered this nation. These attributes will do well for a country that has been ravaged by politicians who have milked the treasury dry and have laughed all the way to the bank. Need I say more.
that is very true junie. with all the prayers to a true God he is the only one who can deliver honestly. i just wonder our other politicians who always publicly pray and say mass,sino kaya ang dinadasalan nila. di kasi kapanipaniwala.
A lot of us reject corruption. But that doesn’t mean na susuporta tayong lahat kay Noynoy. Noynoy has his own advantage which unfortunately is because he is an AQUINO and nothing else. Those who thinks na hindi magbabayad ng utang na loob si Noynoy ay nananaginip ng gising. Yung mga tao na nasa likod ng pagtakbo niya sa pagka-Pangulo ay maniningil din the moment na maupo si Noynoy as President. Ganyan sa politika.
Meron din nagtatanong na kung hindi si Noynoy, sino daw? Eh di mag-research kayo! Kailangan ba naman sabihin pa sa inyo kung sino ang kandidatong dapat na iboto ninyo? Nasa internet lahat ng information. May mga websites ang mga kandidatong ito at tingnan ninyo kung sino sa mga ito ang tunay na nagtatrabaho at sino ang tunay na tumutulong sa taong-bayan. Paki-iwasan ang mga trapo na kung magtrabaho ay sa umpisa lang o di kaya’y paunti-unti lang. Huwag magpadala sa TIWALA lang, o FEEL lang. These candidates must EARN our TIWALA. Ibig sabihin dapat may naipakita muna silang resulta na dapat silang iboto.
i say, we’re not really sure if he’s like his parents, but i think he’s still a better choice.
noynoy’s integrity and values will definitely make him a good president. Hoping he will live with his parents legacy.
what integrety?? could you please elaborate?
Of all the presidentiables, I think he is the one with a PURE and TRUE heart in putting the country first…. As he learned from his Father and Mother…
MABUHAY KA NOYNOY… Our VOTE, PRAYERS and SUPPORT are with you..
our country hungers for a president with integrity amidst the nationwide corruption. if noynoy has it, then he could have my vote.
VOX POPULI VOX DEI…. all of the politicians are evil due to different circumstances but we need to choose one. Logically, we will choose the less evil… and everybody know who’s who….
Why choose lesser evil if you can choose righteous leader?
Noynoy is just one of the few good men of Philippine politics, somehow unnoticed in critical national issues, but I think, he can be our best bet for the presidency. He portrays the demeanor of a simple, mild mannered person who maintains integrity despite being beleaguered with widespread irregularities in political circles. Go on Noynoy, we go for you.
He is unnoticed because he has not done anything significant.
how do you define significant? he was a lawmaker and a fiscalizer. He did his job. He filed bills and resolutions on identified concerns relative to his position. Example of this bills? A resolution creating an oversight committee on the budget allocation for the Armed Forces of the Philippines. So what, you may ask. It is ensuring that the country’s resources are spent and allocated correctly. This kind of bills may not be “popular” but these are logical in a ensuring the check and balance in government transactions. How is that for democracy in action?
Noynoy may not be popular as the other presidentiables but I do believe that with Cory Aquino as his mother and the values she has instilled in all her children, he may be the statesman this country has been waiting for all these years. We do not need another politician – trapo or otherwise. what we need are persons of integrity, courage and strength. with Cory as his bedrock,Noynoy will go a long way. GO FOR IT NOY1 YOU HAVE MY VOTE!
If you are looking for a leader with
authentic CHARACTER,
real COURAGE for righteousness,
and genuine COMPETENCE for change..
I would strongly endorse BRO. EDDIE C. VILAANUEVA.
Why I Think Bro. Eddie Should Be President in 2010:
What I saw from him is that a person who has a clear vision on how he will start working out our country’s development. He has plans on our country’s debt in world bank. He has plans against corruption (transparency). He has plans on our agriculture development (farm to market roads) and a lot of things detailed by him during the campaign 6 yrs ago. Those are the things that convinced me to vote for him.
Add the fact that he’s once an activist (fighting for the little and poor) and having the longest term as a Board of Regent member of the largest university of the country and not getting a cent of his honorarium and giving it to the scholarship fund, that is indeed something. For me, being an evangelist is just a PLUS for all of those things about Bro. Eddie. Honestly, being an evangelist is what least appealed to me, sorry for the others here, because I feared that he might not be able to perform well two big responsibilities at the same time but then, I believe that he will leave his post temporarily as the JIL leader when he gets elected. I know that he knows what to do better more than me.
and by the way, he’s DEFINITELY NO.1 in this SURVEY.
(thats a fact!)
Psalm 1:2-3 says,
“..his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers..”
i would definitely love to see a president that whatever he does PROSPERS..
Let’s hope BRO. EDDIE wins!
BROTHER EDDIE!
BROTHER EDDIE!
BROTHER EDDIE!
BROTHER EDDIE!
anong di popular si noynoy??
sya nga ung pinaka popular ngaun dahil sa pagkamatay ni cory..
tulad ni cory noon.. nging popular si cory nung namatay si ninoy…
but still.. noynoy doesnt deserve to be the president..
kasi nga.. mauulit rin ung nangyari sa pilipinas ng si cory ay namuno.. babagsak ulit ung pinas…
kung ako sa inyo.. iba na lang boto nio wag lang si noynoy..
parang mas maganda pa nga mging president si bayani kesa kay noynoy…
kasi marami nagawa si bayani smantalang walang nagawa si noynoy sa senado..
wow popular dahil namatayan ng nanay at tatay. mabuti nga ang tatay niya. simbolo ng demokrasya nga ang nanay niya. pero ano nangyari noong ang isa sa kanila ay umabot sa pagkapangulo? napakaraming extrajudicial killings. nagpasa ng batas para sa pagprotekta ng mga ari-arian ng mga mayamang maylupa na dati’y ipinangakong ibabahagi sa mga magsasakang araw-araw na nagpapawis sa pagtrabaho doon. marangal ang pamilya nila, oo. ngunit hindi kaya at hindi kaya ng pamilyang itong ang posisyong pagkapangulo
For me I consider BRO. EDDIE VILLANUEVA to be the right choice. He has the integrity, honesty, and most of all is a God fearing man who can lead this nation to fight corruption. He stands for truth justice and righteousness. We should not go with the tide pick the best.God bless the Philippines.
Of all the prominent persons who are aspiring to become the president of the philippines, only noynoy has the guts to really change the current situation of our government.
that’s very right franz. i know noynoy has in his mind and soul the resolve to bring back to all filipinos the pride of being righteous people.God bless to you and ur love ones.
ayoko na nga kay noynoy.
usap usapan kasi sa barangay namin na
hindi naman mananalo si noynoy.
mas lumakas pa yung paniniwala ko na mahina si
noynoy dahil hindi man lang mag top si noynoy
sa poll ng site na ito.
maybe, kung mag top si noynoy dito, uubusin ko
allowance ko para ikampanya siya. otherwise kung hindi siya mag top sa poll na ito, ikakampanya ko na
lang yung ibang kandidato.
sorry noynoy, pero di mo muna makukuha boto ko.
goodluck nalang noynoy.
Sino nga pala yung eddie villanueva??
Bakit nasa top yan dito sa poll?
hindi ko naman naririnig pangalan nyan sa tv.

TV is not the only media that we can hear who Bro. Eddie is, at least you have an internet and you read about Bro Eddie.. Let’s not focused on TV but on issues. Yan din ang isang problema sa ating mga kababayan, yong popularity ang pinag basihan hindi yong tract records at kung sino ba talaga ang kanilang iboboto. Yan ang isang bagay na dapat baguhin sa atin.
In times like this, our country needs a leader who could make the Philippine society a better society— politically, economically, morally… name it. All of us are looking for a change. A change that could improve our conditions, not a change that could worsen it. Enough are the days when we are blinded by those who are in power. Enough are those days when our leaders spend our money for a lavish dinner. The next year’s election (if there will be) is an event people are looking forward to. People have to make a wise choice. In these situations, we don’t know whom to turn to. Maybe a Noynoy could be a good choice. Who knows? He got the Cory Magic.
(from my blog. ito lang din naman ang gusto kong i-comment.
Noynoy could really be a good shot for the Presidential seat.)
How come? Bata pa ko nung presidente si cory, nakita ko kung paano tumaas ang palitan ng dollar. nakita ko rin ang start ng pagbagsak ng bansa natin. Ang masasabi ko lang, pangit ung boboto tayo sa tao dahil sikat ang magulang nya. Kahit si noynoy nga kailangan pang kumbinsihin ng nakapaligid sa kanya bago nya naisip na kakandidato siya. Ang tunay na leader, may conviction at sariling desisyon. Paano nya dedesisyonan ang problema ng bansa natin kung ang pagtakbo nya kailangan pa nyang kumbinsihin cya? Ayoko sa walang kusa.. Kung si Bayani at Noynoy ang magkalaban. kay bayani na ko. at least naayos nya ung sa marikina. Si noynoy naayos ba ung problema ng hasyenda nila? Dami namatay dun diba? Paano pa kaya ang Pinas???
to everyone,
PLEASE READ:
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom”
Marahil, halos lahat ng preidentiables ay may takot sa Diyos.
Pero eto lang masasabi ko..
Si Bro. EDDIE VILLANUEVA lamang ang
may BANAL na Pagkatakot sa Diyos.
Thats the difference.
NOYNOY will not win for sure..
Noynoy is popular because of his parents(cory and ninoy), but are we really sure that he will be the same with his parents? dapat kasi meron din syang mga tract records as a leader in any organization etc… not just because of his parents.
Then another is this, we need a leader in our big-big society “Philippines” which is compose of Filipino Families.. Is Noynoy capable of leading the Filipino people who are compose of Filipino families, where in fact Noynoy has no yet family of his own. He is better to marry first, then we will see if he can manage well his family then that’s it he will be capable of being a President ” The leader of all Filipino Families…
Why not Try Bro Eddie? Is he not capable? kung hindi nga lang dinaya sa mismo Marawi last Presidential Election, Si FPJ at Bro Eddie nga ang nag lalaban-laban don eh..
I believe we need a righteous leader, at kung hinahanap nyo ang pinaka may takot sa Dios, sino sa mga Presidentiables ang first winner? Di ba si Bro Eddie?
Hindi.
Kung sa tingin ng mga tao magaling si NoyNoy dahil lang sa anak sya ni Cory at Ninoy, e di dapat isipin din pala nilang hindi tamang pres si Noynoy dahil sa ginawa ni Cory sa Hacienda Luicita.
Sa nabasa ko, ibibigay na daw dapat yung mga lupa sa mga magsasaka nung di pa si Cory ang pres. Part yun ng agrarian reform. Pero nung naging pres na si Cory, ginawang pag aavail ng stocks/shares ang paraan ng pagmamay ari sa Hacienda na yun.
Tama ba yung nabasa ko?
What do you mean by hindi, about bro eddie? Artemis…
I dont know the whole story of hacienca luicita.. sa alam ko lang it is under agrarian reform para ipamahagi sa mga magsasaka, pero hindi pa yata nangyari,, totoo ba?
Basta kay Bro Eddie tayo, let’s go back to the main topic..
The main topic is Noynoy.
“I believe we need a righteous leader, at kung hinahanap nyo ang pinaka may takot sa Dios, sino sa mga Presidentiables ang first winner? Di ba si Bro Eddie? ”
Yan, hindi. We don’t need someone na “may takot sa dyos”.
State over church tayo. Di pwede yan si Eddie.
Nyak! May papanaw pa palang tulad nito. State over Church??? Para mo na ding sinabing Goverment rules over God.
Hindi yan “pananaw”.
BATAS yan.
Ah.. Yun pala pagkakaunawa mo sa BATAS na yun. Okay. Smile nalang ako. Hindi kasi ganun sa akin eh. Sensya na.
May sinabi ba ko tungkol sa “pagkakaunawa” ko sa batas na yun? Wala. Sinabi ko lang yung batas. Ikaw lang nagsabi ng “pagkakaunawa” mo.
Anyway, wag nyo ipagpilitan gusto nyo. At sana open minded kayo pag nagbabasa kayo ng comments dito, at hindi yung iniisip nyo kayo lang tama para matuto pa rin tayo from each other di ba.
At dahil off topic kayo. 
Si Noynoy topic dito diba.
*Last comment ko na ‘to about eddie. will not reply about eddie anymore. No sense talking about him.
At hindi talaga pwede maging pres ang isang religious group leader.
Don’t forget marami pang religion sa mundo.
You can’t claim ‘tama” ang religion nyo.
Ang Separation ng State and Church ay as follows:
Kung Presidente ka, di mo pwedeng panghimasukan ang desisyon ang mga Relihiyon. At kung incumbent Religious Leader ka, di a pwedeng makiaalam sa desisyon ng gobyerno.
Now, kung ang presidente ay aalis sa pwesto nya at naisipan nyang mag-Pari, pwede un. Pero di na cya pwedeng makialam sa desisyon ng gobyerno. kasi sa Simbahan na cya. at leader na siya ng church.
Kung pwede un, pwede ring tumakbo sa pagkapangulo ang isang religious leader. pero kailangan, bitawan nya ang pwesto nya sa simbahan or church. Same with the case of Fr. Panlillo. Binitawan nya ang pagiging pari nya.
At nakita naman ng lahat na naging leader na matino si Panlillo.
Ayun ang tunay na depinisyon ng “Separation of Church and State”
In lay mans term. ung leader ka sa group 1, wala kang pakialam sa group 2 and vice versa.
Hindi ibig sabihin na bawal tumakbo sa politika ang religious leader.
Isa pa walang tamang relihiyon. Hindi nakalagay sa Bible un. Nasa relasyon mo un sa Dios at kung paano ka mamuhay ng Tama at kalugod lugod sa paningin Nya. Never ko pang narinig na nag-claim sila na sila ang tunay at tamang relihiyon.
Sabi nga ni Bob Ong, iisang Dios lang ang sinasamba natin, makakaiba lang tayo ng paraan ng pagsamba.
All we can do is hope and pray. But still, Noynoy, though an Aquino, he can never be Cory.
Let’s try not to link him to his late mother. Besides, if you chose him because of Cory, you would be disappointed should he take politics in a different perspective from his mom’s.
Remember: Change is the only constant thing in this world.
I am not against Noynoy, though.
choose the lesser evil
I strongly believe that Sen. Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III is the leader we should have if we wish to progress as a nation and people.His being simple, sincere and low-profile are add on to his qualifications to become good and just leader who can inspire us all and proud to become Filipino.Mabuhay ka Noynoy, my President in 2010!
bro. eddie villanueva for president. from priestly anointing to kingly anointing. wait for God’s timing like David. His will be done.
For me its Noynoy talaga, kasi sa mga presidentiables siya lang ang wala akong nababasang corruption issues unlike other aspirants. Ayoko din ng masyadong marunong , look what happen to the Phil under very intelligent presidents, kailangan pa bang sabihin kung sino ang mga iyon? Ayoko din ng ginagamit ang words of God , kasi I think hindi pa siya nasisiyahan sa mga kolektiones niya kaya he wants more. Ayoko din sa kabago bagong Senador biglang magpepresidente agad, sobrang ambisyon and too much ambitions corrupt the mind. Ayoko din sa mga nasangkot sa kung ano anong krimen . This is my opinion only, I respect others though
I respect your opinion too.
But, I think you can benefit more by KNOWING and READING more. Sa pamamagitan ng mas malalim na pagkilala mas magiging makapangyarihan ang iyong pagpili.
Ang naging problema natin sa “very intelligent” presidents, at sa lahat ng iba pang presidentiables ay hindi yung kulang sa kanila –pero yung kulang sa atin, sa mga botante –kinakailangan nating maging kasing intelligent nila at maging proactive sa political process. Kasi, kung wala namang botante, wala namang mga presidenteng tatakbo at mananalo.
If we want change, we have the power to create it.
Red, Bro. Eddie Villanueva is a righteous person a man of God. Though you do not know him well, do not rate him to what you do not know. The Word of God he speaks is a written Word of the Almighty who made all of us, also the heavens and the earth. Pray and ask God to give you the clarity of the mind para hindi ka magkakamali whom you will vote. Red God bless.
Define righteous.
Janet, if from 2004 up to now, ECV’s camp converted, say, 13 million filipinos to be born again, then ECV would not have a problem winning. My point is: GAANO NYO MAN IPAGSIGAWAN ANG KANDIDATURA NYA, HINDI TALAGA KAYO MAUNAWAAN NG DI NYO KATULAD. Simply put: All of you ARE RIGHTEOUS and heaven-bound, the rest are evil and unrighteous, surely bound for hell. How can the rest of us who are unrighteous vote for RIGHTEOUS EDDIE, when our HEARTS are poles apart from you RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE OF GOD. Be serious first in your missions and evangelism, the rest will just follow. And then God’s glorious plan for the Philippines will happen.
Timpaul, we are serious in our tasks, 2004 is different to 2010. I know many people eventhough they are not born again, they are of different religion but they believe the righteous cause of Bro. Eddie and his supporters. Like me, they also decided to set aside their beliefs, because they cannot find a better candidate to lead our suffering nation. Its not about Bro. Eddie I am fighting for or we are fighting for but for the rights of every Filipinos, who believes that “RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL EXALT A NATION”. We are not depending on Bro. Eddie to save our country but to the Lord. Albeit, God uses someone to be His instrument, I don’t know what you are fighting for’ however, you will be responsible for your actions. Don’t be bothered of the mission and evangelism we are doing, we are bearing much fruits. God bless

The pros & cons of voting Noynoy Aquino:
Pros: He probably knows how to be President because his mom was one.
Cons: He’s already a Senator! And he suddenly ran just because he thinks he can be like his mom.
This is the first I will vote and young as I am I am fully aware of what is going on in the country. Sad to say we have not found any president the country will be proud of.Being very intelligent is a not a guarantee , being not intelligent will only worsen the situation. Probably we need somebody who have a heart ,integrity , and young who can cope with the rigors of the job.I believe Noynoy is the man because KUNG ANO ANG PUNO AY SIYANG BUNGA, MAGANDA ANG PINANGGALIGAN NI NOYNOY KAYA MAARING NA IMVIVE NIYA ANG MGA VALUES AT VIRTUES NG KANYANG MGA MAGULANG.
Yes you are young…
But if you truly believe that voting a president by virtue of his parents is the way to go…
well…I doubt you are “fully aware”.
On Noynoy’s integrity, and coping with the rigors of the job, I got this from some media people who only wish to interview him, he couldn’t even entertain them and in fact blamed them dahil “pinagod nila siya dahil sa kaka-interview sa kanya”…
baka mag-breakdown siya pag presidente na.
Why I will not vote for the following presidentiables:
1. Bro. Eddie Villanueva- Baka kasi ang Kumusta ka ay palitan niya ng Praise the Lord at ang Thank you ay maging Amen.
2. Manny Villar- Baka pati Pilipinas ay inegosyo being a very good businessman
3. Gibo Teodoro- He is very intelligent, nakakatakot baka gawin niya ang ginawa ng ibang presidente na sobrang talino.
4. Bayani fernando- Baka pinkang gawin niyang national color eh ayaw ko pa naman ng pink.
5. Chiz Escudero- too cheezy for comfort.
6. Joseph Estrada- NANANG KO PO!
aNG NATITIRA NA LAMANG ANG IBOBOTO KO Si>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>NOYNOY AQUINO

Hindi ko mapigilang hindi magreact dito.
Anung problema sa pagsasabi ng Praise the Lord and Amen?
Naturing tayo only Christian nation in South East Asia pero hindi natin sinasagawa. Nakakahiya bang magbigay kapurian sa Panginoon?
Dahil nadin siguro sa kahihiyan nato kaya hirap ang bansa natin.
Gusto ko magbago ang ganitong uri ng pananaw ng mga Pilipino.
Read Matthew 10:33, baka mag-iba pananaw nyo.
religion and government should be separate… demokrasya tayo pano na lang ang ating kalayaan sa relihiyon kung isang relihiyon lng ang papanigan ng gobyerno???
i choose noynoy becoz di sya kay arroyo and CLEAN track record. satisfied na ko dun hehe.
Everyone who has been expressing their intention to run for pres. in 2010 seems to be so desperate to have the position EXCEPT Noynoy! He is THE ONLY ONE, who can unite this nation divided by many strains.
kasi nga kailangan pang kumbinsihin, walang sariling palo o kusa. Kung sa umpisa pa lang may doubt cya sa sarili nya para tumakbo at kailangan pang kumbinsihin, sabihin nyo kung gusto nyo ng leader na walang sariling kusa???
Anu yan bata na kailangan pang piliting maligo?
Noynoy has been accused by overpricing the C5 road and
in overdominating the land in hacienda luisita.
Im not against noynoy right now. But sana maging inform kayo sa mga nagyayari sa Pilipinas.
Villar urged noynoy na “wag puro deny, dapat magbigay ebidensya”.
Be updated sa mga news..!!
Tama! I will go with that . Secrets cannot be hidden especially that God has a plan for this nation. We must be updated and totally informed on whom we will vote since the destiny of our country is at stake. Let us be united in Prayer that God will reveal the true identity of those people who are corrupt and those only who wants to control this nation for themselves. My dearest countrymen who love this nation, be vigilant, take courage in standing for truth, justice and righteousness and remember this, “When the righteous rule the people rejoices, but when the wicked rule the people mourns”. It is time for us to arise, not tomorrow, but the right time is now. Let us vote for a righteous and God- fearing leader, a servant of the Living God. BRO. EDDIE VILLANUEVA is the only candidate who can stand against the goliaths of this country, let us vote for the best. GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES
I had just read this article/comment in facebook.,.
” Guess what was overpriced for the SCTEX? Hacienda Luisita! Guess who benefited? The Aquinos/ Cojuangcos! Do you think they gave anything to the poor farmers? Nada! Zip! Zilch! Lalabas na ang mga baho ni Noynoy! hahahah”
eto pa.
“Noynoy hindi ka nag iisa na KUMITA sa SCTEX!!!! ”
Note: hindi ako nag sabi niyan…
I haven’t heard any milestones accomplished by Noynoy,I think it’s high time for the Filipinos not to vote based on popularity or just because a candidate is being endorsed by numerous stars. We should “real” not “reel”.Noynoy seems to be riding on the popularity of his parents but other than that what are his credentials in governance? Though democracy is greatly owed to his mother the late president Cory, during her regime two things gave a lasting imprint on my mind “the coup de’tat and the long hours of brownout (blackout)
Try reading his website for resolutions passed. Although not too numerous but look at the kind of bills he sponsored and how these are relevant to a working democracy.
Noynoy may strike one as mediocre. He is unassuming, dresses simply and has no air of authority nor charisma about him. He doesn’t have what you may call an impressive resume. In a country that places so much premium on academic credentials, we fail to realize that at this point in the history of our nation, we don’t need a leader who will “steer the ship”, ika nga. we need a consensus builder, someone who has the ability to listen to stakeholders, draw out solutions and make the process owners accountable for their action. I think Noynoy has consistently shown us that he is listening; he understands the need for consultation, he does not presume to know everything. But what he has is the integrity to hold us accountable for our choices. How can a leader demand accountability for the actions of his people, when he himself is not accountable to his?
It is not only our leaders who are accountable for the screw ups in our country. We are collectively accountable as well. We are so morally bankrupt that we would allow the likes of Estrada, Villar and even Gloria get away with corruption. We are so used to pointing fingers, to complaining that we fail to see our own part in the equation. We deserve the kind of leadership we get. We live the kind of culture we cultivate. So if we think Noynoy is just some moron with a good surname, then we don’t deserve to move forward.
Pag nanalo si noy2 sunod2ran yan kay Kris Aquino! at maraming magging mini President..
isa na si boy abunda!! hahaha
if you really want GENUINE change try these:
bayani
gilbert teodoro
kung change chanjan lang
noynoy
erap
eddie villanueva
jamby
etc
I voted for Noynoy when he run for the senate and in reality Noynoy has no intention to run for the presidency only those around him specially Kris pushed him to run. He know himself that he is not yet ready. I admire him as a leader but I think we need someone that truly understand our problem and our people… someone who will create the future with us.
That is very true Mr. Shenbrood. Mr. Roxas the people-pleaser, Kris Aquino and all these useless celebrities pushed him to run. The will to run for the position did not come from himself. It came from other people who are using his last name and taking advantage of the death of his beloved mother as leverage. I cannot believe he cannot even see through this. He is easily manipulated by peer pressure.
Does Noynoy even have the backbone to see that all these people smiling around him today are the people who will be the death of this country in the future? Will Kris Aquino be the captain of the ship if he becomes President?
advise lang po noy ano… pls don’t give chris role during your campaign. f u do, yes, u’l draw thousands of support but only to see ur controversial sis but not d real deal… trust me, u’l ruin your aspiration for president.
I’m a first time voter…and i will give my shot to noynoy..Yes, because he is an Aquino and she had Cris as his sister,so what?!!!!but most important is I want to be part of the history.. I believe Noy will make a history to our country.gusto ko balang araw sasabihin ko sa mga anak ko na binoto ko si Noynoy na tinuturing na ring bayani sa panahon n yon.And I will proudly say “We made history”.
in what sense??lalong pagkadugmok ng ating bansa??
To succeed the ills of a failed administration like Gloria’s, we need a president who has the courage and willpower to push resisting forces against real change. Or else mauulit lang yung nangyari after the Marcos regime, mas dadami pa problema ng Pilipinas. :p
it’s sad to note na dito pa lang, most comments get more negative votes than positive ones. the problem isn’t just with politics. kahit tayong mga ordinaryong tao, naghihilahan pababa trying to outdo each other.
we have 5 months until the election. until that moment when we’ll be facing the ballot, sana let’s keep an open mind and give everyone a fair chance. if we really think about it, we might be surprised =)
Do you realy think the Aquino Dynasty,and specially the celebrity
Queen Sister will save the world,you must be all corrupt.If 90
percent of our popultion dont have “GODLY” Moral Principle or
Moral Responsibility,90 percent will suffer.our form of govern-
ment,or our form of leadership is base upon”GOD”standard.Hindi
tayo humihinga sa mundong ito nang dahil sa ating dangal.Its not
about edsa power,or Aquinos legacy. History is “GOD” story.
Depart from “HIM” our worse enemy live inside us.Pride,Ego,
Selfrighteous,Popularity,is the greatest sin in the Bible.
many will be corrupt,because many will deny”HIM”.By”HIS”Grace we
Save,not because of our own good works,and our own righteousness.
Even thou you are prophesising my “NAME”,but you hypocrite you
practice lawlesness “I” never knew you.We need to changes our
self into “GOD” Image.or else we are all going to be corrupt.
noynoy is weak… idk… he’s just so using his last name…
Meron din pong bahid ng corruption noon si former president cory aquino kaya nga lumaganap ang mga kudeta noon. Noynoy will be the same too..
Man’s government is destined to fall. That is already prophesied in the Bible. No presidentiables, no wannabbes can restore a lost Earth, a lost paradise. Man must think, we must think, beyond our standard way of thinking. Read the Bible. The last politician will emerge that will seem to solve the world’s problems, politically. He is the antichrist. He carries the code: 666. He will be the last politician. It is none of our present presidentiables. Not even President Obama of the U.S. Unless he is destined to be the antichrist. But he is not. So we can see where politics is bringing us. We can see its direction. We can see where it’s heading us! Into a cliff! A very deep cliff. Of destruction and chaos! It’s where we are headed! To a hopeless struggle! But God is good! He provided for us a solution! He wants from us a renewal! A spiritual renewal! Jesus told Nicodimus: Unless a man be born again of water and spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. Put your trust in God, and in His Son, Jesus, the Christ, and not in men. Our politicians might have the noblest intentions to serve and to make this world a paradise again but it is destined to fail! We can do nothing bout it. It is beyond our power! The Bible said that this world is already in the hands of the evil one! We are no match against this evil one. Only Christ can defeat him and He will rule this Earth in the end! Praise be to God! Amen.
Noynoy is the best candidate…Perlas JC also has the same strong principle but the fact that we need 1 candidate to group a winning candidate is a must…Jc and Perlas are just to unknown to be taken as a risk for people to vote…Noynoy is the best candidate and the front runner in whch all must support…
Villar is a stupid thief thank you..
Villar’s money huggling men are roming the internet …. Whata shame..
If you have seen “Isang Tanong” of GMA & “Harapan” of ABS CBN, maliwanag pa sa sikat ng araw na walang clear vision si Noynoy sa ating bansa. He will be worst leader than president Cory. Gumising na tayo mga kapwa ko Pilipino. Hindi pa ba tayo sawa sa mga politikong puro pangako lang. We should not allow Nepotism on our government, si Noynoy at Teodoro magpinsan, pamilya na naman nila na noon pa man nasa government position na at walang nagawang pagbabago sa bansa, ang ilalagay natin sa mas mataas pang position. Are you really satisfied to their performance kaya sila ang napipili nyong maging president ng ating naghihingalong bansa? They are surrounded with traditional, power-starved politians, who are just trying to connect themselves with their popularity. Choose the one who can at least give a total change to the face of Philippine Politics. Dare to vote the qualified, God-fearing man and has a pure love to our only country, for the sake of your children and you children’s children. Maawa naman kayo sa kanila. Let’s give righteous governance a chance.
in short, No to abNOYNOY
ipagpatuloy natin ang laban!
pero tila tatakbo lamang sya dahil marami ang nagsabi sa kanya.
ano bang plano nya sa bayan?? meron ba???
sana hindi lang dahil sa pangalan nya kaya xa iboboto.
PRESIDENCY SHOULD NOT BE INHERITED!
SOLID NOY2 pa rin aq
Bro. Eddie Villanueva For President!
noy, naniniwala ako sa yo. same with your parents alam kong magiging mabuti kang pinuno ng ating bansa.
Sa tingin ko, si cory hindi naging corrupt. pero hindi rin naging effective na leader. Iba kasi ang pagiging effective na leader sa hindi corrupt.
Tanong ko lang po kay gigi, bumuti ba ang kalagayan ng Pilipinas nung panahon ni cory?? Diba nagtaasan din ang bilihin noon?? Remember the galunggong as the basis of our economy?? After marcos wala pang nagiging effective na presidente ang Pilipinas. Lalo pa tayong lumulubog.
Noy, I know senator Mar gave up his right for the sake of your
Family,our form of government,or our form of Leadership is base
upon “GOD” standard. He has what it takes to lead this country,
I admire Miss Corina her courage to support her husband no matter.
History is “GOD” story,its not about edsa power,or Aquino Legacy.
If 90 percent of our population dont have”GODLY” Moral Principle,
or “GODLY Moral Responsibility,90 percent will be corrupt,If you
think the politician,the people power,or your celebrity Queen
Sister will save this world,you must be corrupt.”JESUS” said
in Mathew:even thou you are prophesising my “NAME”,but you
hypocrite you practice lawlesness i never knew you,Depart from
“ME” your worse enemy live inside you.Hindi kayo humuhinga sa
mundong ito nang dahil sa yong dangal.by Grace we are save,not
because of your own good works,or your own righteousness.I say
to all the voters,dont trade your vote just for a few goodies,
and their big promisis.it takes a community to have “GODLY”
Moral Value.be careful also with religeous righteous,or false
prophet.They will figure out the Bible base upon their own
religion,or Lgalistic Mentality,many will be decieve,and many
will suffer.I wish you all the best. “GOD BLESS”
Hacienda Luisita ghosts back to haunt Noynoy candidacy
GMANews.TV – Tuesday, November 17
First of two parts
Would you like your Noynoy sweetened or sugar-free?
Until Senator Noynoy Cojuangco Aquino decided to run for President on September 9, 2009, the massacre of farm workers exactly five years ago today at the Cojuangco family’s disputed sugar plantation Hacienda Luisita seemed destined to fade from foggy Filipino memory.
Since that announcement, however, the dead farmers’ fight to make the senator’s family give up the Luisita sugar lands in the name of land reform is back in the headlines.
Why are the ghosts of the Luisita massacre now haunting Senator Aquino, who, by his own estimate, holds only 1/32 share of the hacienda, and has no direct hand in its operations?
In search of answers, GMANews.TV traveled to Tarlac and spoke to some farm workers and one of Luisita’s union leaders. A separate interview and review of court documents was then conducted with one of the lawyers representing the workers’ union in the Supreme Court.
What follows is their side of the Luisita saga. Recaps of relevant historical events have been included by GMANews.TV for added perspective.
The workers’ story begins way before the first shot was fired on November 16, 2004. For them, the seeds of conflict in Luisita were already there as early as the 1950s, and always seemed to be linked to the mood of whoever occupied Malacañang.
Remnant of colonialism
Before the Cojuangco family took over Hacienda Luisita in the 1950s, the plantation belonged to the Spanish-owned Compaña General de Tabacos de Filipinas (Tabacalera). Tabacalera acquired the land in 1882 through a royal grant from the Spanish crown, which had a self-appointed claim on the lands as the Philippines’ colonial master. Luisita was named after Luisa, the wife of the top official of Tabacalera.
Tobacco used to be the main crop planted in Luisita, but in the 1920s the Spanish owners shifted to sugar. Sugar production in the Philippines had become more profitable because demand was guaranteed by the US quota. In 1927, the Spaniards built the sugar mill Central Azucarera de Tarlac to accompany their sugarcane plantation. Around the same year, the wealthy Cojuangco family also put up a small sugar mill in Paniqui, Tarlac. The Paniqui sugar mill was headed by Jose “Pepe” Cojuangco, Sr., father of former President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino.
In 1958, Jose Cojuangco Sr.’s new company, the Tarlac Development Corporation, bought Hacienda Luisita and Central Azucarera de Tarlac from its previous Spanish owners. Noynoy Aquino’s father, Ninoy, was its first administrator after it was bought. Joe Galvez Dollars, Ninoy, and the purchase of Luisita
By the 1950s, aggravation over the Hukbalahap rebellion made the Spaniards decide to sell Hacienda Luisita and leave the Philippines. Meanwhile, in 1954, Corazon “Cory” Cojuangco married Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr. , with President Ramon Magsaysay as one of the ninongs (sponsor) at the wedding.
In 1957, President Magsaysay and Ninoy Aquino are said to have discussed the possibility of Ninoy’s father-in-law, Jose Cojuangco, Sr., buying Central Azucarera de Tarlac and Hacienda Luisita from the Spaniards. The Spaniards, however, wanted to be paid in dollars because they were leaving the country for good.
During those days, dollars were tightly regulated. But with assistance from friends in government, Jose Cojuangco, Sr. was able to get a 10-year loan from the Manufacturer’s Trust Company in New York. The Central Bank of the Philippines permitted the loan under several conditions. One of these was the eventual distribution of the hacienda to small farmers “in line with the government’s social justice program”.
Jose Cojuangco, Sr. contracted another loan with the GSIS (Government Service Insurance System) for P7 million to further finance the purchase of Hacienda Luisita and miscellaneous equipment. The GSIS granted the loan, also tacking on a condition that Hacienda Luisita should at some point be distributed among its tenants at reasonable cost.
In 1958, Jose Cojuangco, Sr.’s new company, the Tarlac Development Corporation (TADECO) became the new owner of Hacienda Luisita and Central Azucarera de Tarlac. Ninoy Aquino was appointed the hacienda’s first administrator.
Ang pagkakaintindi ng mga ninuno naming manggagawang-bukid ng Hacienda Luisita noon, within 10 years, babayaran na ng mga Cojuangco ang utang nila sa gubyerno. Pagdating ng 1967, ang lupa ay sa magsasaka na – Lito Bais, United Luisita Workers Union
Birth of a senator and a labor union
“Ang pagkakaintindi ng mga ninuno naming manggagawang-bukid ng Hacienda Luisita noon, within 10 years, babayaran na [ng mga Cojuangco] ang utang nila sa gubyerno. Pagdating ng 1967, ang lupa ay sa magsasaka na (The way our elders, the farmers of Hacienda Luisita, understood things at that time, within 10 years, the Cojuangcos were going to pay back the money they borrowed from the government. By 1967, the land would belong to the farmers),” says Lito Bais, one of the present-day leaders of the United Luisita Workers Union (ULWU). He was born on the hacienda in 1957, the year before the Cojuangco family took over. His mother was also born on the hacienda.
When 1967 came and went with no land distribution taking place, the farm workers began to organize themselves to uphold their cause. This led to the creation of the United Luisita Workers Union. 1967 was also the year Ninoy Aquino became the Philippines’ youngest senator, marking the start of his bitter rivalry with President Ferdinand Marcos.
After President Marcos declared Martial Law in 1972, his most voluble critic Aquino was one of the first people arrested. Aquino remained in jail until 1980, when he suffered a heart attack. He was allowed by the Marcos government to go to the US for treatment, accompanied by wife Cory and their children Ballsy, Pinky, Noynoy, Viel, and Kris.
Marcos ejects Ninoy, eyes Luisita
As the Aquino family left for the US (where they would remain in exile for the next three years), a case was filed by the Marcos government against the Cojuangco company TADECO for the surrender of Hacienda Luisita to the Ministry of Agrarian Reform, so the land could be distributed to the farmers in accordance with the provisions of the loans given to the late Jose Cojuangco, Sr. in 1957. Cojuangco had died in 1976.
Outside Luisita, this lawsuit was seen as an act of harassment against Ninoy Aquino’s family by the Marcos government. Inside the hacienda, however, the farmers thought luck had finally turned in their favor and land distribution was coming. (Whether or not the Marcos government really intended to distribute the hacienda to the farmers is a matter for conspiracy theorists to decide.)
SUGAR AND POLITICS. Truckloads of newly harvested sugarcane await delivery to the Luisita’s sugar mill. For the hacienda’s farm workers, the seeds of conflict were already there as early as the 1950s, and always seemed linked to the mood of whoever occupied Malacañang. Joe Galvez
According to Bais, the widow of Jose Cojuangco, Sr., Demetria Sumulong Cojuangco, fought to keep the hacienda. “Inilaban ni Doña Metring, yung nanay nila Cory, na wala raw silang inabutan na tao [sa hacienda], kaya wala raw benipesyaryo, kaya ang lupang ito ay sa kanila (Doña Metring, the mother of Cory, said there were no tenants in the hacienda when they took over, therefore there were no beneficiaries, therefore the land belonged to them),” he says. “E, tignan mo naman ang lupang ito. Paano mapapatag ang lupang ito? Paano makapag-tanim kung walang taong inabutan? (But look at this land. How else could this land have been tamed? How could it have been cultivated if there were no people here when they took over?)”
In the meantime, vague rumors of a planned conversion of the hacienda into a residential subdivision or airport, or both, cropped up among the farm workers. (This was possibly due to the decline of the sugar industry in the Philippines after the US quota ended in the 1970s. Conversion became a buzzword among big landowners all over the country. In Negros, for instance, landlords were mulling conversion to prawn or bangus farms.)
The Marcos government pursued its case against the Cojuangcos, and by December 1985, the Manila Regional Trial Court ordered TADECO to surrender Hacienda Luisita to the Ministry of Agrarian Reform. The Cojuangcos elevated the case to the Court of Appeals.
Cory ejects Marcos, keeps Luisita
That same month, December 1985, President Marcos announced snap elections would be held on February 7, 1986. Cory Aquino, now a widow after Ninoy Aquino was assassinated in 1983, was fielded by her late husband’s allies to run for president against Marcos.
The elections took place in February 1986 amid an atmosphere of violence and accusations of massive cheating. Marcos was declared winner, but was subsequently ousted by the People Power revolution. Cory Aquino was sworn in as president. Her revolutionary government dissolved Marcos’s 1973 constitution to pave the way for drafting a new constitution. Land reform, one of the pillars of Cory Aquino’s election campaign, was to be a highlight of the new constitution.
Mendiola, a portent of the Luisita massacre
On January 22, 1987, eleven months into the Aquino administration, the Mendiola massacre happened. Several thousand frustrated farmers marched to Malacañang demanding fulfillment of the promises made regarding land reform during the Aquino campaign, and distribution of lands at no cost to beneficiaries. Police tried to disperse the farmers, but the situation went out of control. At least one dozen farmers died on the spot. Many more were seriously injured.
President Cory is said to have fast-tracked the finalization of the land reform law because she was deeply affected by this tragedy. The new 1987 constitution took effect in February, the month following the Mendiola massacre, and five months later, on July 1987, President Cory signed an executive order outlining the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law. She expanded the coverage of land reform to include sugar lands.
The outline of the new law also included a provision for the Stock Distribution Option (SDO), a mode of complying with the land reform law that did not require actual physical transfer of land.
Stage is set for “SDO”
By May 1988, the Court of Appeals dismissed the case filed in 1980 by the Philippine government—under Marcos—against TADECO to compel the handover of Hacienda Luisita. It was the Philippine government itself—this time under Aquino—that filed the motion to dismiss its own case against TADECO, saying the lands of Hacienda Luisita were going to be distributed anyway through the agrarian reform law.
A month after the case was dismissed, in June 1988, the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law took effect. The provision for SDO that it included would be availed of by the management of Hacienda Luisita and about ten other haciendas around the country. Through the SDO, the requirements of the agrarian reform law can be addressed without a direct transfer of land to tenants.
Conflict over the SDO would trigger the November 16, 2004 massacre of farmers in Hacienda Luisita fifteen years later.
