"The presidency is not about popularity but a popular president can find it easier to make the public swallow bitter pills. Public patience can wear thin quickly when purchasing power and job opportunities shrink and there's less food on the table. There is no room for smugness; the administration must address pressing economy concerns. Dec 10, editorial, Phil Star

Teddy Boy Locsin - Erap should not forget who let him go. 1st to HK & then for good. Perhaps this is an answer to erap's remarks that what is happening to GMA is brought about by karma. He also emphasized that it "was not GMA who toppled Erap but Cory, Joker, Manny Villar, Erap's allies in congress, civil societies, FVR, the Church & the generals.." He also added that it was not GMA but the press "devoid of decorum" who published Erap's humiliating mugshots.

May pagbabago ba ngayon, mga kaalyadong congresmen ni PNoy magfi-file ng impeachment laban kay CJ na walang basis dahil yan ang gusto ni PNoy, dahil iipitin pork barrel nila, ito ba ang "tuwid na daan" ni PNoy?

CJ CORONA nais alisin sa pwesto ni PNOY para muling baliktarin ang negative ruling ng SC sa kaso ng Hacienda Luisita. Yan si PNOY walang malsakit sa mga magsasaka. di po sapat na dahilan, maging isang milyong Hacienda Luisita upang sirain ni PNoy ang Korte Suprema at mabawi ang lupain sa magsasaka. Suportahan ang mga magsasaka! Mabuhay ang Korte Suprema!

Corona's speech after flag raising ceremony: "Do not forget I am here. I am not going anywhere. I am your defender & most of all I am your Chief Justice. Together we will face these challenges and fight all who dare to destroy the court system of justice under the constitution. My fellow court workers we stand together.

When former Pakistani President Musharaf took on supreme court chief justice and tried to replace him with his own that move started the downfall of Musharaf and he incident resulted in the ouster of Musharaf. Same issues....Musharaf wanted the chief justice to convict the Former Prime Minister Nawaz Shariff whom Musharaf ousted in a coup. he same chief justice got whole legal industry and judiciary to support him and he survived and is still chief justice of Pakistan SC and Musharaf now as ex President. Very interesting times.

di po sapat na dahilan, maging isang milyong Hacienda Luisita upang sirain ni PNoy ang Korte Suprema at mabawi ang lupain sa magsasaka. Suportahan ang mga magsasaka! mabuhay ang Korte Suprema!

FWD - CJ CORONA nais alisin sa pwesto ni PNOY para muling baliktarin ang negative ruling ng SC sa kaso ng Hacienda Luisita. Yan si PNOY walang malasakit sa mga magsasaka. Pakipasa, salamat.

It is difficult to see how the 2nd Aquino gov't can claim to be in pursuit of his mother's legacy. He is doing the very opposite of what Cory sought to strengthen, co-equal branches of govt. Now pnoy wants the other 2 branches to bend to its will. In a game of nos., the administration has the nos. It has little choice but follow the exec. because of its power on the pork barrel.

ANC: Horn: Buti pa sa St. Luke's nakakababa siya ng 5th floor to hear mass. Sa VMMC di man lang siya makalabas ng kwarto. Even her freedom of religion is being curtailed. Di naman convicted si Pang. Arroyo. She's at the VMMC for custodial purposes only, to make sure she'll be available when the court needs her. Again, di sya convicted.

>> Got info that impeachment for CJ will be filed and railroaded at plenary on tuesday. They plan to muster 90 votes to avoid Com. on Justice. Have not read the consti. provisions or House/com. of justice rules. How about pre empting thru media.

DZBB 3:29 PRESIDENCY: ROWENA SALVACION'S COMMENTARIES: HUWAG KAYO MASYADONG CONCENTRATED AND OBSESSED SA PAGPAPAKULONG KAY GMA. LAHAT NAMAN TAYO AY LOOKING FOR ACCOUNTABILITY PERO PLEASE HUWAG NINYONG KAKALIMUTAN NA MARAMI ANG KUMAKALAM ANG SIKMURA, MARAMI ANG NAUULANAN DAHIL WALANG BUBONG, MARAMI ANG MANGMANG DAHIL HINDI NAKAKAPAG-ARAL DAHIL  SA KAMAHALAN NG TUITION FEE SA KABILA NG BILYONES NA PINAPAKAWALAN PARA SA CCT, UTANG NA LOOB!

Maaaring totoo nga po sinasabi ng malacañang at mga ka alyadong kritiko nila na may "special treatment" si dating pangulo. Nararamdaman nga po namin ang "special treatment" ng panggigipit na pagtrato  sa kanya. Ang pagtanggal ng mga basic na karapatan ng isang accused detainee ay maikukumpara na sa kaparusahan sa isang convicted na bilanggo. Kitang kita po na kabaligtaran ang kanilang sinasabi sa kanilang ginagawa. Nalilito po kami kung ang kanilang hangad ay "protection" o "oppression". Kami po ay pinaglalaruan ng "rigodon" ng turuan na umiikot sa palasyo, dilg, pnp, doj, comelec at korte. Ito po ang "fair trial" at "special treatment" na sinasabi nila - husgahan at parusahan kaagad habang nakakulong si cgma.

Phi Star Postscript Pascual: "So low has the Phils. Sunk in the esteem of the world that it ranks 129th out of 182 countries rated in the latest Corruption Perceptions Index, making it the most corrupt in Southeast Asia next to Cambodia that is 164th in the CPI ranking." penoy's slogan -  WALANG MAHIRAP KUNG WALANG CORRUPT". Go figure.

Atty. Raul Lambino, sinabing sa kabila ng hindi agad nakatulog si CGMA sa unang araw nito sa VMMC ay nakakapagpahinga naman ito at sumalang sa ilang medical examination tulad ng x-ray at iba pa ngayong araw. Lambino, inihayag na apektado na ang serbisyong ibinibigay ni GMA para sa kanyang bayan sa Pampanga kaya't mahigpit nilang hihilingin na payagan na itong gumamit ng laptop.
