==> MY EVIL PLAN by Gloria Pidal

If you think I will just sit around and wait for the yellow army to put me in jail after my term of office ends, you better think again. I have a plan….muahhhahahahaha….........

1. i need to get myself elected congresswoman of lubao pampanga and represent my district at the house of representathieves. this seat is practically in the bag for me, my almost every weekend trip to my future constituents in the past few months will not go unrewarded by my cabalens...di ba ne?

2. i also need to ensure the victory of my allies in that same house because their re-election is crucial to my plans. I see no problem there, they are not called "trapos" for nothing.

3. i would have to ask my chubby hubby, the ever reliable mr jose pidal to prepare the usual gift bags(with wads of cash inside) for my future colleagues...you know, like the gift bag that was given to among ed which the ungrateful priest wanted to return. of course, i would have to do this gift giving regularly to remind them who’s their boss, lest they forget. if any of you is thinking of jumping ship and joining the bandwagon, remember this my dear congressmen and congresswomen...when the yellow son gets himself elected chief executive, you’re not gonna get any gift bags from him, as in... never. so if you want the party to continue, you better toe the line and stick to the plan.

4. what’s next ? what else, I have to be the leader of the house, the speaker of the house of representathieves. You can call me, mrs speaker thank you. that title is sooo... me.

5. i have two options for number five. This one is not yet final, there are still some kinks that needs to be ironed out. all in good time…

the first option is to give the yellow son a dose of the same medicine given to his mom , saint cory, by JPE and his loyal soldier greg, with a little twist of course. coup-de-etat is soooo 80’s, impeachment is my weapon of choice, we have the numbers so victory is assured. different weapons, same goal. make the yellow son’s life miserable the entire time he is the chief executive, leave him no time to attend to the affairs of the government and make the people who elected him into office so frustrated they would never again think of putting another yellow blood in that office, ever. the problem with this option is, if I can get rid of the yellow son, there is a mr. padyak waiting in the wings to inherit the throne. which makes the second option more attractive...

the second option is for my house of representathieves to immediately start working on cha-cha. change our form of government, from the present presidential system to parliamentary. no need to court the pinoy voter to vote for me, i just need cash to buy my colleages at the house of representathieves and viola...i will be your leader for life. by then, you can call me... mrs prime minister, thank you very much. haaay, this country should be so lucky !. Now, all that sound so easy to accomplish…if not for the little matter called computerized election. Any change in the '87 cory constitution needs ratification… damn. saint cory is giving me a headache even in her grave!

anyway, in the meantime, i need to gather and consult as many evil minds as I can to craft the final plan. first on the list, JPE, the billionaire father of dagdag-bawas, the ultimate balimbing. Ronnie Puno, of the famed Sulo Hotel operations that nailed the presidency for FVR. Boss Danding , a former infamous crony, now a respected business tycoon and political kingmaker. not to mention the defeated presidentiables and their vp’s would only be too willing to help me in my plan, coz if they don’t, with the rise of the yellow son, then the likes of us would be doomed.

==> YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO VOTE FOR THIS PINOY

some of you may now consider yourselves citizens of countries other than the philippines. your passports and other legal documents can attest to that fact. but you only have to look at yourselves in the mirror and you cannot belie the truth of your race. i still believe that in the deepest recesses of your hearts lies the filipino spirit.

now, after that sharp tug at your conscience, may i urge you to vote for this outstanding kababayan from cavite. YOU CAN VOTE UNTIL 19 NOVEMBER 2009. and THERE IS NO LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF TIMES YOU MAY VOTE.

his victory is our pride...

==> THE LATEST ON THE YOUNG TRAPO

although i never intended this blog to be my own personal political commentary, it seems headed that way... i should have known better. why? national politics seems to be number one on my list of provocations that sends my thoughts on maximum overdrive.

so whats the latest on politics? chiz escudero bolting his political party of 11 years, the NPC. the party founded by marcos's numero uno crony danding cojuangco. i will probably write about this political party in my future posts. but for now, let us examine the reason given by chiz why he chose to leave the party that nurtured his political career...

chiz said yesterday, and i quote," anybody who wants to run for the presidency should have no allegiance to any political party, the party that anyone is aspiring to run under should be none other than the philippines and his partymates should be all filipinos".

ANO DAW? i have always been wary/suspicious of politicians who loves to play to the gallery and grandstand, all in aid of "re-election". of course, chiz has always been regarded as "glib", with good reason may i add. as with most pinoy politicians, talk is cheap.

what chiz is not saying of course is, when danding did not commit his billions to bankroll his presidential candidacy, to chiz, danding now becomes a liability. danding's role during the marcos' years and beyond has always been a liability to any political prodigy. BUT, trapos, young and old, would close their eyes to that fact and ultimately seek his annointment and bite the bullet for the greater prize...access to danding cojuangco's massive ill-gotten treasure chest!

mr cojuangco is no fool, why would he bet on a candidate who's numbers are continuing to slide, specially as those numbers are so low to begin with. huwag ka na magmalinis chiz, pareho lang naman kayo ni danding ng pinagmulan, kaya nga ang tagal nyo magkasama sa partido diba? ive always thought that the saying "birds of the same feather flock together" and " the fruit does not fall far from the tree" always ring true. we have to remember that chiz' father is marcos' former agrarian reform secretary.

chiz, do not pretend to be somebody that you are not. you a reformist? are you kidding me? like mr cojuangco, i am no fool. there are a lot people like me who knows your roots, the people you have associated and affiliated with in the past, the positions you have taken on issues. i can smell the reasons why you have taken those steps, on people and issues. you are no better than the average trapo. you love to hug the limelight, gravitate and surround yourself with people that could further your cause...the cause of having yourself elected president of this nation one day!

==> WELCOME TO MEE

let me start by welcoming myself to blogging. i sometimes feel the need to comment on certain issues, specially those that insults or challenges my intellect, provokes my sense of decency, my sense of outrage or even my sense of humor. i have a strong feeling this blog will be political in nature(most of the time if not all the time) so, those of you with views opposite mine, dont bite my head off and lets just respect each others opinion, in fact, im more than willing to discuss/trade ideas with any of you(ideas not insults). i guess... this blog will attempt to put into words my thoughts...goodluck to me
