Pedestrian Observer: Candle Light Prayer for Clean, Honest & Credible 07 Election
Yesterday April 25, 2007 is the start of the Candle Light Prayer for Clean, Honest and Credible elections with Kontra Daya (the group that came up with a list of 22 Bogus Party List) and ecumenical groups converging at the Comelec headquarters’ in Plaza Roma. They held ecumenical service and lighting of candles asking the people to be vigilant as moves to undermine the election persist. The Garci scandal that to this point has been unresolved makes them skeptical of the covenant entered into by the AFP and PPCRV, who wouldn’t be?......... continue.

This mid-term election is just so sickening especially the BOGUS Party list and as I dig deeper into the scandal it just get worse and uglier. The situation is exacerbated as we go along encountering arrogance among the scam artist some even go to the extent of intimidating people to silence with libel suit. It really does not surprise me anymore how people who cheats errr seats in the power corridor sees and think they OWN and can abuse the judicial system for their own demented irrational inflated ego.
It just seems so hopeless; everywhere you look it is just a never ending abuse and corruption. Witnessing a presidential spouse in full contempt and abuse of the judicial system filing 41 libel cases against journalist is just unreal. Jueteng lords having the gall to sue people with libel for “maligning” their Jueteng errr “good” character kuno is one for the books and only in a perverted nation will you see such spectacle. If the intent was to amuse people with such moronic behavior it is failing miserably that only contributes to the growing numbing apathy and contempt as seen in many of our people.
Thank god for a man of the cloth named Fr. Ed or “Among” (Kapampangan term for Priest) who took a leave of absence in his diocese to run for governor of Pampanga earning the moniker of Jueteng capital of the
Spread the message of Fr. Ed and support him in his bid to unseat scalawags or let the province sink to the biblical level of

It all begins when the country's brightest, most
highly qualified inhabitants, the young dynamic
professionals, citizens who have the potential to make
good leaders, get together and examine the country's
problems, the state of politics and the long-term
national prospects
What happens next?
They decide to emigrate
And after that?
Another group of bright people get together
What do they do?
They also emigrate
And then?
And so on and so forth
What does any of this have to do with a Philippine
election?
When talented, smart qualified potential leaders leave
the country all the time, who are you left with?
Retired basketball players? Toilet comedians? Bad
actors and actresses? Spoiled vicious rich kids?
Aging and debauched hermaphrodites? You're now ready
to hold a Philippine election
How important are elected officials to the
Philippines?
Nobody's been able to figure out an answer to that one
What's at stake in a Philippine election?
Prizes and surprises! Millions in cash! Dream houses!
The vacations of your choice! Fun for the entire
family! That's from the politician's point of view
How many positions are waiting to be filled in the
coming elections?
About 17,000 public offices and a still undetermined
number of graves
So it's like a lotto?
Sort of, except that when you lose, you could lose
your life
Who are qualified to run?
Anyone at all! Generally, any person of any
citizenship who's alive, of a certain age, good
character and able to summon a mob huge enough to
intimidate the Supreme Court
What kind of candidates have the most chances of
winning?
ARTISTS who have the CONFIDENCE of the people
You mean a con artist?, don't you?
You said it, we didn't
Who are qualified to vote?
Those willing to be bussed around and go a hard day's
work visiting a lot of precincts during election day.
Talk about parties in the Philippines
Everybody loves going to parties in the Philippines
No, POLITICAL parties.
Oh! Well, in the past there used to be only two
parties, the Liberalistas and the Nacionalistas. Now
there are several dozen, but they still all fall under
two main parties: the Sosyalites and the Opportunistas
What's the difference between the two parties?
Sosyalites love parties. Opportunistas will join any.
Explain what this year's presidential elections is all
about.
Did you hear the one about the murderer, the thief,
the incompetent, and the idiot?
No, is that a joke?
That's the presidential election
You're a cynical bastard, aren't you?
How clean are Philippine elections?
Lets put it this way: if Philippine elections were
your house, you wouldn't want to live in it
What are guns, goons and gold??
Three traditional important elements of a successful
election. There's a new one: Film credits
How come this pamphlet doesn't include a question that
goes why can't all candidates just jump in the lake??
That question looks like it was just gratuitously put
into this article for very naughty purposes. We
decline to answer it
How can you tell an election outcome is suspicious?
Power failures in very specific rooms where the
counting is taking place. Numbers that start losing
zeroes as the days go by.
Can't the candidates, out of the goodness of their
hearts, put a stop to crooked elections?
You really ARE from another planet, aren't you?

Please allow us to introduce ANG KAPATIRAN, a Comelec registered national political party. It believes that principles and platform must come before candidates. It wants to bring back the teachings of God into the center of politics.
We recently launched a fund campaign to help clean-up politics because among others, we want to do away with the politics of money. People say Ang Kapatiran is a very good party, however, they won’t win because “walang pera yan”.
We believe that our three (3) senatorial candidates should not be burdened with raising their own campaign funds so that they will not have “utang na loob” to those who substantially funded their campaign. This will enable them to act independently for the best interest of the common good. We need funds not only to introduce our candidates but also to create awareness of our Principles and Platform. This will enlighten and guide our voters in their role to actively and wisely participate in this coming and future elections.
It is in this light that we are appealing to all Filipinos here and abroad who believe in the principles and platform of Ang Kapatiran, to contribute and share in the cost of change. Let us prove to the people that our Ang Kapatiran candidates will win because they are supported by Filipinos who care and believe in their cause. Enclosed is a convenient, fast, cost-efficient and safe way to send your contributions to the Philippines.
Your kind and generous financial support at this time will go a long way to start now Ang Kapatiran’s noble advocacy to pave the way for the generation of our grandchildren to eventually live with dignity as human beings in a just society.

"HOW TO REMIT YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO ANG KAPATIRAN’S ACCOUNT IN THE PHILIPPINES"
"No man made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because
he thought he could do so little." (Edmund Burke)
“But do we have a choice? There comes a point in our lives when living a good and secure and prosperous existence becomes immoral when you cast a blind eye to the terrible suffering all around us. If you truly believe in your heart that you can offer whatever blessings and talents that have been given to you but decide to back-off because of the tremendous sacrifice in loss of privacy, income, security and family time then you would not only have failed yourself but your country as well.” Martin bautista
A fresh face in Philippine politics battling a formidable well oiled political machinery of trapos well entrenched in a political field reserved for the ruling minority elite.

A friend has been a travel agent for over 30 Years. She says, of her 30 years of taking reservation requests from government officials, we are all in trouble now. Here's a few questions at the reservation desk that were asked by the following politicians:
Senator Tessie Oreta asked for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window.
I got a call from ex-Mayor Joey Marquez, who wanted to go to Capetown. Explaining the length of the flight and passport information, he interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts ." Without trying to make him look like the stupid one, I calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts. Capetown is in Africa." His response: (click).
Congressman Mark Lapid called, furious about a Florida package we did for him and tv star Kris Aquino. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that was not possible since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, "Don't lie to me. I looked in the map and Florida is a very thin state!" (so he expected to see the ocean on both sides of the hotel?!)
Senator Ralph Recto's popular wife asked, "Is it possible to see England from Canada?" I said, "No." She replied, "But they look so close on the map."
Senator Lito Lapid asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. I noticed he had only an hour lay-over in Dallas. When asked why he wanted to rent a car, he said, "I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between the gates to save time."
Senator Jinggoy Estrada called last week. He needed to know how it was possible that his flight from Detroit left at 8:20 a.m. and got into Chicago at 8:33 a.m. I tried to explain that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but he could not understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told him the plane went very fast, and he bought that.
Congressman Ronaldo Zamora asked, "Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?" I said, "No, why do you ask?" He replied, "Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said FAT, and I'm overweight. I think that is very rude!" I looked into it and explained the city code for Fresno, California is (FAT) and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage.
Former presidentiable now tv star Eddie Gil inquired about a trip package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, he asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and take the train to Hawaii?"
I just got off the phone with Senator Bong Revilla who asked, "How do I know which plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, "I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them."
VP Noli De Castro asked, "I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , FL. Do I have to get on one of those twin engine planes?" I asked if he meant fly to Pensacola, FL, on a commuter plane. He said, "Yeah, whatever!"
Congressman Dilangalen called and had a question about the documents needed to fly to China. I reminded him he needed a visa. "Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those." I double checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this, he said, "Look, I've been to China four times and everytime they accepted my American Express!"
Senator Miriam Defensor called to make reservations, "I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York." The agent said, "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the lady. After some searching, the agent came back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a Rhino anywhere." The lady retorted, "Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" The agent scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, "You don't mean Buffalo, do you?" "That's it! I knew it was a big animal," she said.
