DWIZ: ISSUE: COMELEC COMMISSIONER GRACE PADACA (8:11-8:12 - Karambola) Commentaries by A. Capino and J. Dela Cruz

Capino: Bakit kailangan pang samahan ni Roxas si Padaca?

Dela Cruz: Kasi best friends sila.

Capino: Hindi kasi marami silang kasalanan sa COMELEC. Sayang iyong moralidad ni Gov. Padaca. Bakit si GMA inakusahan agad? Bakit si Padaca huwag agad husgahan? Ang unfair ng Pangulo!

GMA-7: Sa pahayag ni PISTON president George San Mateo, isang pambansang protesta ang kanilang ikakasa sa Martes dahil sa kawalang aksyon ng DoTC sa kanilang mga hinaing. Aniya, nabigo itong ipatupad ang kautusan ng Baguio RTC na nagbabasura sa matataas na traffic fines sa buong bansa. Kabilang din sa kanilang inirereklamo ang kawalan ng malakihang rollback sa presyo ng mga produktong petrolyo. Ang kanilang transport caravan ay mula QC Circle patungong DoTC office sa Ortigas.

DZIQ: Posibleng ma-impeach si Pangulong Noynoy Aquino dahil sa pag-apruba sa Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, partikular sa probisyon na nagbabanggit na batas na may kinalaman sa kasong libelo. Ayon kay Rep. Mon Palatino, ito ay kung patuloy na magmamatigas ang Pangulo sa pagkakasama ng libel provision sa kontrobersyal na batas. Sa ngayon ay umaabot na sa mahigit na 10 petisyon ang inihain sa SC laban sa cybercrime law na tatalakayin sa en banc session sa Martes.

GMA 7 Unang Balita: CGMA is still undergoing medication at the VMMC. According to Atty. Raul Lambino, CGMA is still dehydrated. He said they are still studying next legal move.

INQUIRER: 'daang matuwid' gone
CROOKED - And few days ago there was the "bail-out" of former Gov. Grace Padaca, with the entire P70,000 cash bail coming from the "personal funds" of no less than Pres Aquino. Padaca, so full of grace but not a lawyer, had just been appointed to the Comelec as a commissioner. Yet it took the PNP only hours after a warrant was issued, to arrest a former president in her hospital bed holding on to life by a single thread.

INQUIRER: 'daang matuwid' gone
CROOKED - Jesse Robredo's appointment as interior secretary couldn't be confirmed fro TWO years. But it took only a few days to get Mar Roxas confirmed as interior secretary; and a day after the confirmation, Roxas, who has never even been a barangay chairman, was sent to China as a special envoy. The first time he went there he was served only chichiria for lunch; this time siningil pa siya ng utang.

TRIBUNE EIDTORIAL: P102B DOWN THE DRAIN
The report CLEARLY  COVERED 2011 and it was transmitted to the office of Noynoy and the Senate President and the Speaker all at the same day, the reason that the Palace was trying hard to ascribe the report as that of belonging to the excesses of Noyno'y predecessor. It was, however, HARD TO EVADE the detailed audit of the CoA report, which even gave a breakdown of what it termed pecuniary losses to the government for "CALENDAR YEAR 2011."

TRIBUNE EDITORIAL: P102B DOWN THE DRAIN
Under the heading pecuniary losses, the biggest loss item was under-assessment and under-collection worth P21 billion followed by unauthorized, irregular and unnecessary expenses worth P19 billion, and the absence of bidding or awarding of contracts not in accordance the procurement law worth P15 billion.

PHILSTAR: GMA LAWYER BUCKS MOTION TO DEFER POLL SABOTAGE TRIAL
Lawyer Benjamin Santos told The Star in a phone interview that he has already submitted his comment to Judge Jesus Mupas of Pasay City Regional Trial Court branch 112 that the argument of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) that they are busy with the election period is not a valid reason to delay the trial. "Why is the prosecution trying to delay the proceeding?" he asked.

MLA STANDARD: Solons, farmers slam P8.6B cut in coco fund - Militant lawmakers and coconut farmers on Sunday assailed the Aquino govt's decision to take P8.64-billion from the coconut levy fund. They demanded that the entire amount in the fund be distributed in cash to 3.4 million coconut farmers instead of P16,941 to each.

INQUIRER: RAMON TULFO
- The latest boo-boo the Pres Noy made was in paying the 70,000 bail of newly appointed Comelec Comm Grace Padaca who is facing graft charges in the Sandiganbayan. Por Dios por santo, Mr. President, why did you have to do that! Why did you send Interior Sec Mar Roxas, a Liberal Party official, to bail out Padaca? The President's act certainly left a bad taste in the mouth since he had prejudged the case. Only the Sandiganbayan can say whether she's guilty or not after a fair trial. Since when did the President become a JUDGE?

(2:24 DZMM TRANSPORT CARAVAN PROTEST) MALAWAKANG TRANSPORT CARAVAN PROTEST NG GRUPONG PISTON LABAN SA OIL PRICE HIKE, KASADO NA SA MARTES OCTOBER 9. PISTON PRES. GEORGE SAN MATEO, SINABING MULA SA QC CIRCLE TUTULAK ANG PROTESTA PATUNGO SA TANGGAPAN NG DOTC SA MANDALUYONG.

Kung ang sinasabi ng Pangulo na Ang batas Cyberlaw ay makabubuti para proteksyonan pagpapalaganap ng maling impormasyon na nakasisira o maaring makakita sa isang katauhan o sa isang institusyon, Ito ay may katumbas na Parusa ng pagkakakulong. Sa mga balita sa pahayagan, ayon sa COA Report, ang kasalukuyang Administrasyon di umano ay nakawaldas ng nakaraan taon (2011) ng hindi kukulangin sa halagang P100 Bilyong Piso. Ang depensa ng tagapagsalita ng Namumuno ay hind sa kanilang administrasyon iyon. Kung totoong ang naisabatas na Cyberlaw ay para proteksyonan ang inosente at ito ang sinasabi ng tagapagsalita ng Namumuno, lahat ng naglathala na naka sira sa kanilang reputasyon, dyaryo, manunulat, may ari ng mga ito pati na ang mga opus tales ng mga pahayagan ay dapat kanilang idemanda. Lahat ng mga balitang it an ay nasa Internet. KAYA BA NILANG IDEMANDA LAHAT NG MGA ITO? SIGE NGA NG MASUBUKAN ANG PANGIL NG BATAS CYBERLAW!

TRIBUNE: How can Noynoy and his allies, with such straight faces, claim to be so clean and honest and incorruptible, when the CoA report shows otherwise? How can Noynoy even claim before the public that the senatorial candidates he has picked for the 2013 polls have embraced the straight path and still be believed? But of course, he can always rely on the manipulated yellow surveys to make the numbers look good for him - esp when he needs them. But the people know better. Besides, there are more poor Filipinos today, which, using his slogan of walang corrupt, walang mahirap, translates to a lot of corruption in his government, kaya maraming mahirap.

PHILSTAR: NO STRONG CASE VS GMA, SAYS LAWYER - "There is no strong evidence at all against the former President. This is all just persecution," Raul Lambino, Arroyo's spokesman, said in reaction to Aquino's statement that the government has a strong case against Arroyo "he's going to say that (because) that is his obsession - to go after his enemies," Lambino said. "If they really had a strong case, they should have filed the case before Arroyo finished her term," he added.

PHILSTAR: DICK PASCUAL
- Why resist the inevitable? Why don't we just cancel the elections and turn over the government to movie stars, TV celebrities and members of political dynasties? Bahala na! Media should help educate the people, at least teach them that elections are NOT popularity contests. Problem is media are part of the problem.

Headline: Padaca vows reforms at Comelec." She sounds like the current commissioners are incapable of reform without her.

TV PATROL WEEKEND: Higit P100 bilyon ang nawala sa kaban ng bayan. Ito'y base sa report ng Commission on Audit. Pero agad dumipensa ang Malakanyang sa COA report. Nagpa-Patrol, Pia Guitierrez TV PAtrol, Oktubre 6, 2012, Sabado

FWD: Heto na naman ang mambobola!...

--The President will be addressing the Filipino public at 12:45p.m. today. His speech will be carried live on television and radio.

TRIBUNE EDITORIAL: Instead of applying the law evenly, Noynoy said that Padaca claimed that she was a victim of political malpractice. if there would be a perfect example of political persecution under Noynoy then the chase for Gloria would it be. Would Noynoy then heed Gloria and accord her the same treatment given to Padaca? Noynoy just fell a hairline short of declaring Padaca innocent and daring the Sandiganbayan to defy him and prove otherwise through the comments he issued.

ABANTE: ARNOLD CLAVIO - JUDGE PNOY

Kung nais ni PENoy na mapawalang-sala lahat ng kanyang kakampi at makulong lahat ng 'di sa kanya, BUWAGIN na lamang natin ang ating mga KORTE at siya na ang maging iisang TAGAHUSGA. Maging mapanuri't mapagmasid. Hindi lahat ng lingkod bayan na matino sa pagsasalita sa harap ng camera at publiko ay matuwid. Dapat pa ring manaig ang RULE of LAW at hindi ang RULE of DILAW.

ABS-CBN: FVR WANTS PROVE ON P100B LOSS

Former Pres Fidel V. Ramos on Sat. urged the government to investigate the loss of more that P100 billion, as reported by COA. Speaking to reporters at the VIP lounge of the NAIA Terminal 2, the former Pres. said it would be too early to judge the anti-corruption policies of the current administration, but he said this is PROOF that the problem on corruption has NOT been SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED as it is STILL obviously HAPPENING.

GRAFT DEVOURS P101.8 B; Despite "Matuwid na Daan" corruption costing taxpayers billions of pesos - COA - PEOPLE'S JOURNAL

PNOY: TUWID NA DAAN IS ABOUT OUR CAMPAIGN AGAINST CORRUPTION "MS. VALTE, call it a half-hearted crusade against GRAFT and corruption. Just the other day, Mr. Aquino shouldered the bail money for ex. gov. padaca who is charged before Sandiganbayan of GRAFT. It is not to say, that Ms. Padaca is guilty of the accusation, but it is quite unfortunate that mr. Aquino through his mouthpieces in malacanang would ANNOUNCE the innocence of Gov. Padaca. Is HIS OPINION na INDIRECT MANDATE to the Sandiganbayan justices to ACQUIT padaca from the accusations against her? Why can't the president ALLOW the wheels of justice to roll?"

Heto, ang KALIWALIWANAG na COA Report:
"The COA said the findings for 2011, covering the first year of President Aquino's term, mostly involved "unauthorized/irregular/unnecessary expenses, unliquidated cash advances, violations of the Procurement Act.

PHILSTAR: COMELEC CAUTIONS BETS ON EARLY CAMPAIGNING
- HOY! ang PANGULO ng Pilipinas, PANAY na PANAY ang IKOT at taas ng kamay ng KANYANG mga KANDIDATO na nakasuot ng DILAW at PUNONG PUNO ng mga EPAL na yellow STREAMERS!!! GAMIT pa ang RESOURCES ng GOBYERNO!!! BULAG BA KAYO??

COMELEC JUNKS RAPS VS KRIS, ABUNDA, ABS-CBN EXECS
Petitioner Elpidio Valino charged that Aquino, Abunda and ABS-CBN executives Eugenio Lopez, Maria Rosario "Charo" Santos-Concio and Ramon Osorio unduly favored the candidacy of Kris' brother Pres. Aquino in 2010. OBVIOUS BA KUNG BAKIT? PERO SI MORATO - GUILTY RAW OF ELECTIONEERING kay Gibo Teodoro!! NAMAN, NAMAN!!!

ANG SWERTE NI PADACA! sa dami ng mahihirap na walang pangpyansa, PRESIDENTE pa ang NAGBAYAD! may REGALO nang PWESTO sa gobyerno, INA-ABSWELTO pa sa KASO!!
Si PGMA, kahit walang basehan at minadali ang bintang, ILANG ORAS lang, ARESTADO agad!!

PEOPLE'S JOURNAL: GMA CAN'T LEAVE HOSPITAL
In a medical bulletin issued by the VMMC yesterday, the attending physicians said that Arroyo needs to stay in the hospital for another two to three days due to her dehydration and numbness of the hands. The doctors explained that her condition was caused by cervical spondylosis arthritis of the neck. In a press briefing Thursday night, Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jy. said that for humanitarian reasons the court should allow Arroyo to stay in the hospital due to her poor health.

ANC: NUJP: PNoy's "Tuwid na Daan" has gone astray. The group says Aquino's support for the cybercrime law and its online libel clause proves that Filipinos are not his boss after all.

INQUIRER: Morato" I'm a victim of political persecution
"The ombudsman has deprived me of my rights to judicial process, thus depriving me of my constitutional rights. It's like going through a kangaroo court," he said. Morato said there was no truth to the charge that the questioned PCSO intelligence funds ended up in his pocket. Neither does he have knowledge on whether or not the money ended up with any of the respondents, he added. He said the supposed irregularities remain to be "conjectures, speculations, if not outright rumors."

BLOG: Fernando Marucut
Mr. Aquino can not be a judge and executioner if he wants his government to succeed in stopping corruption, he must be fair to every body, including Arroyo.

ON CGMA CASE

PNOY: govt has a strong case vs GMA

LACIERDA: we will not comment on that... we leave it to the courts to decide on the merits of the case. MAG-USAP NGA KAYONG MAG-AMO!!! SARAP PAG-UNTUGIN!

INQUIRER: DORONILA
The President then hit the UNA: "The critics are with [the opposition]; those willing to cooperate are with us." But the UNA secretary general, Rep. Tobias Tiangco, said the senatorial election should be a contest between candidates "pushing similar reforms, not a battle of bitter enemies." He said the UNA "is a coalition of two major political parties whose support for the reform agenda of President Aquino is beyond doubt."  Where then does the OPPOSITION come in? This would make the election a farce, or a referendum for the performance, whatever it is, of the administration.

MLA STANDARD: Siquijor Rep. Orlando Fua said any appointment to a top level government position, especially in constitutional bodies such as the Comelec, must SECURE clearances from the Ombudsman and other gov't agencies to ensure that the Palace appointee was not mired in any criminal case and unfit for the position. Fua said the plunder charges against Mrs. Arroyo over allegations of graft in the use of P366 million in intelligence funds of the PCSO, a non-bailable offense, proved the "scorched each policy" of the Aquino administration in going after its political enemies.

ANC: "Aquino: Case against Arroyo Strong". In effect he's telling the sandiganbayan and the judiciary not to make him lose face or else...

DE LIMA:

DAY ONE - I WAS AGAINST SOME PROVISIONS ON THE ANTI-CYBERCRIME LAW ESP THE LIBEL CLAUSE.

DAY 2 - I FIND NOTHING UNCONSTITUTIONAL on RA10175

DAY 3 - I ORDERED NBI TO HUNT DOWN HACKERS

DAY 4 - I WILL GO SLOW IN IMPLEMENTING THE LAW SINCE WE ARE EXPECTING REVISIONS

ANO BA TALAGA ATENG? THANKS GOODNESS SHE DID NOT BECOME CHIEF JUSTICE!!!

Pls read Inquirer, R. Tulfo's art p.A20 "... the latest boo-boo Pinoy made was in paying 70K bail... that would make her look like a palace stooge... Why didn't the pres legal advisers prevent him from posting bail... perhaps Pnoy's lawyer should minimize their drinking so they can stay focused on the job."

RMM: ISSUE IRREGULARITIES ON 2011 BUDGET (10:15-10:35 - Latigo ni Melchor) by Commentary by Melchor Balabas - Base sa pagsisiyasat ng COA aabot po ng 157 na kaso ng iregularidad ang nangyari noong 2011.
- Naku, naman mga kaibigan na Latigo ang matuwid na daan kung ganoon!
- Bakit ganoon? Hindi kayo sumusunod sa matuwid na daan!
- Nabigo din daw ang ating Pamahalaan na mangulekta.
- Reckless spending ito and 2nd biggest problem iyong parang gastos ka lang ng gastos ng pera hindi ka naman marunong magtipid.

Ayon sa isang observer sa testing ng PCOS machines, "pati papel na may butas ay binabasa ng makina." Ayan na. Umpisa na!

MLA STANDARD: Sen. Min Leader Alan Peter Cayetano said Friday the DILG should be questioned over its implementation of arrest warrants on wanted people, claiming it was being SELECTIVE about whom to arrest quickly and whom to bide its time arresting. Cayetano was reacting to REPORTERS' QUESTIONS over the IMMEDIATE issuance of an arrest warrant on former Pres and now Rep. Gloria M. Arroyo and the FIVE-MONTH DELAY in serving the arrest warrant on former Isabela Gov. Grace Padaca over the P25-million graft case against her.

TRIBUNE: "A president paying the bail of an ally charged with graft and giving out the clear message to the court to either dismiss the case against Padaca or acquit her quickly?), may be praised  to high heavens by  the yellows, who are eternally consistent with their double standard application of what is right and wrong, constitutional or unconstitutional (always right when it comes to their allies and wrong when it comes to their anti-persons), will still have to go through the Commission on Appointments (CA). If she breezes through her confirmation, that would be yet another piece of evidence at how much the CA has been prostituted by Noynoy and his allies."

"TUWID NA DAAN" BREAKING NEWS!!! PHILSTAR: COA: GOV'T LOST 101 BILLION TO CORRUPTION LAST YEAR

Such a huge amount of government money was supposedly lost to 19 various forms of graft by which public funds are STOLEN, MISUSED, or MISHANDLED.

The Audit Performance Summary Report for 2011, a copy of which has been sent to Pres Aquino, said P20.813 billion alone was lost to "under-assessment or under-collection." State auditors said it found 157 cases of irregularities pertaining to under-assessment or under-collection where a government collecting agency failed to properly appraise revenue that is supposed to be paid to the government.

Teleradyo: Brillantes says Padaca will be the tie breaker in Comelec. Huh? Di ba yung Commissioner dapat and tie breaker, parang inamin na nyang nasa panig sya ni Aquino. Di ba dapat neutral o independent ang Comelec?

DZIQ:

Macaranas: Ako walang masamang tinapay doon kay Grace, ayaw ko lang iyong ginawang hakbang na naman ng Palasyo.

Susan: Well, si Pangulo ang nagbigay at inabot mismo kay, sino nagdala? Si Sec. Mar Roxas nangyari na iyon. Kasi iyong ale by all means magpapaaresto.

Macaranas: Bakit ang tagal na noong warrant, hindi inaaresto? Bakit si GMA lumabas lang kahapon?

Leni robredo is running for congress. LP is really good at taking advantage of deaths.

blog: Si Padaca, May pa lang may arrest warrant na. For 5 months di yun na-iserve? Up until nag-bail siya with PNoy's help. Pero si GMA oras lang binilang, served agad ang warrant. Wow talaga!
