The unprincipled gall of Noynoy Aquino
On Aquino's position re the pardon of Erap:
WITH all due respect to the parents, late Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino and
former President Corazon “Cory” Cojuangco Aquino, I cannot help but lash
out at the immoral gall of their son Sen. Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino,
III who attacked the pardon of former President Joseph “Erap” Estrada
without seemingly reviewing his family’s history first.
Theft of Agrarian Land?
Beginning April 1958, Hacienda Luisita and the Tabacalera sugar mill
became properties of Jose Cojuangco and his TADECO (Tarlac Development
Corporation) company. Instead of Pedro or “Pete” Cojuangco who was Cory’
s eldest brother, Ninoy Aquino was chosen as its administrator.
SCTEx Luisita Insertion & Overprice?
Beyond the non-distribution of Hacienda Luisita, the reclassification of much
of the lands, and the actual conversion of 500 hectares into the Hacienda
Luisita park 2 sans consultation with their “co-owners,’ the farmer workers,
is the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) Luisita interchange diversion
and overprice issue.

WASHINGTON,D.C., Apr. 5 (PinoyGlobal) - If ex-defense chief Gilbert “Gibo”
Teodoro Jr.’s candidacy for president is stillborn it is because he is tagged
as Pres. Arroyo’s bet in the elections. With the notoriety of the Arroyos for
corruption GMA’s blessing is a kiss of death. This explains why he has been
trailing behind his adversaries in surveys these past months. The irony of it
is that Gibo is the darling of the young idealist students and the decent
voters.

WASHINGTON,D.C., Apr. 14 (PinoyGlobal) - Manny Villar suggested that
presidential aspirants should undergo psychological, which could very well
be mental test. Paradoxically, I believe it isn’t implausible considering how
many want to be president even though they have no following or
campaign funds, much less a well oiled political party. Months before the
campaign period, the Commission on Elections disqualified almost all of the
96 people seeking for the high office without credentials or logistics to

MILF Enlisted to Protect the Elections Is Ominous
04/26/2010 4:11 AM EST
WASHINGTON,D.C., Apr. 26 (PinoyGlobal) - Whoever conceived the idea of
forking over to the sworn enemy of the state (the Moro Islamic Liberation
Front - MILF) the right to bear arms in the May 10 elections, must either be
a dreamer or an idiot. And of all things, they are assigned to protect
Commission on Elections officers and their military and police escorts, as
well as the voters. The armed rebels will be on this duty for 13 days. In my
vocabulary this is surrendering to the enemy. What for are the military and
police escorts in the elections when they themselves are escorted by Muslim
rebels? This is hilarious. The idea has the makings of halitosis of the

“The Filipino is worth dying for.” Whose words are these?

vote on May 10, 2010 would be his own namesake, Benigno Aquino III.
