Gloria Arroyo Slams The LAZY Noynoy Aquino Government

June 25, 2011
Madam Congresswoman had drawn strength from her neck brace.
For the first time, EX-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo spoke up with regard to how Noynoy Aquino leads the government. In a press-con held today at Lubao, Pampanga Congresswoman Arroyo ranted and discretely critiqued her successor's style of leadership.
Amid the floods that are happening in Mindanao because of the water hyacinths that have blocked the rivers, Arroyo said she had left a fund for the Mindanao River Basin Project before she stepped off from the Presidency.

Now, Noynoy who doesn't want to pursue projects started by Mrs. Arroyo, allegedly did not exert effort to pursue the project. Gloria also ranted about the economy and corruption, citing statistics that compared the present with the past, obviously favoring her almost 9-year reign.

Malacanang's eyebrows raised. The semi-fierce but very intelligent Miss. Abigail Valte, the spokesperson from the Palace, lashed back at Arroyo by saying, the gist,  "Look who is talking."

“Despite her glaring absence from proceedings inquiring into her culpability and accountability as President, she has found time to try to obtain media mileage [amid] the current weather disturbance," Valte ranted

She then added, “We regret that instead of focusing on her constituents’ needs at this time, she is trying to hog the headlines in a gambit to distract attention from her past deeds"

So whose side are you on? If you'll ask me, both of 'em are below par.

I'm talking about Arroyo and Aquino.

Some even thought that Arroyo's neck-brace, then her sudden press-con, were all staged to gain sympathy when she spoke some things against the present administration.

Yes, Arroyo's reign was filled with controversy and corruption, but at-least I personally saw her performing her duties visibly, eagerly and she's always on the go.

Unlike Noynoy, forgive me for my language, but he seemed "lulugo-lugo." I don't see any enthusiasm. Yes, he's after for clean governance, but it doesn't end there. People need to see action and result. Now i don't see any!

For Ms. Valte to slam Arroyo by saying that she's just diverting the issue, I say it's unfair.

There's some "lesson" that you can get from her unsolicited political advice.

She's the former President, she knows, give her respect. After all, those allegations weren't proven yet.

Noli De Castro Implies That Some of The Guests In Miriam-Jun Santiago Wedding Are PLASTIC

The Kapamilya's are differing in opinion with regard to Noli De Castro's "malicious" remark on TV Patrol tonight. If you have watched the newscast, the Ex-Vice President said something like this, "Magagalit ang DENR ni'an, madaming plastic..."

He's obviously referring to the many politicians who attended  the renewal of vows of Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago and husband, former DILG Secretary Narciso "Jun" Santiago on June 20, 2011.
Everybody showed up, except FVR. (because he's not invited, LOLz)

Rep. Imelda Marcos, Former Pres. Joseph Estrada, Congresswoman Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, and President Noynoy Aquino - they all graced the 40th wedding anniversary/ event.
That ain't all
Vice-President Binay, Loren Legarda, and Mar Roxas were there. Oops!

Well, they all seemed nice with each other. Smiling and even kidding/egging at times, as if they never fought over certain issues that became too "personal."

How about that for tomorow's headline. Maybe they left their "differences" at home for a while, just for this day. (and then not-in-good-terms again on the next day?)

That question was half-answered by Channel 2's "fierce" journalist.
Just wondering, did Noli De Castro cross the line?
Aren't they allowed to give-off side comments that are not related - in any way - to what is in the news?
On second thought, I kind of admire Kabayan's sense of humor. After all, jokes are half-meant.. and in this case, it's the inconvenient truth.

West Philippine Sea: Enrile tells P-Noy That We Are No Match Against China

President Noynoy Aquino has just shown that he's no-President-to-mess-with when it comes to the "properties" of the Philippines.

We have heard Malacanang blamed the Arroyo administration on how it ok'd China's bullying with regard to The Spratly's. Now, P-Noy told his countrymen, "We are not going to be pushed around."

Enter the BRP Rajah Humabon Pinoy (big) Warship, sent to the Scarborough Shoal - show of force?

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile is not amused. " If they (China) call the posture, they can sink our destroyer (Rajah Humabon warship) with one torpedo, one missile," Enrile ranted on his DZBB interview

I kind of smirked when I read Enrile's statements in The Inquirer this morning. Where's his sense of nationalism? Of course he's just being realistic, we clearly have no match against the superpower, China but to announce that publicly, that's a little "disgrace" to the morale of this nation. He should have met with P-Noy and express his sentiments privately.

Heck, since when I have become concerned about these things. LOLz
