Erap For 2010 Elections

With two choppers, a King Air turboprop aircraft and at least 20 vans, there is no doubt former President Joseph "Erap" Estrada is running in next year's elections.

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, a close ally of Estrada, on Sunday made this statement as he noted that other prospective presidential bets now placing advertisements in radio and TV would have trouble matching up with Estrada.

“[Meron siyang] dalawang chopper, isang fixed-wing 350 na King Air, 20 vans for political campaign.. Kung di pa proof yan na tatakbo, ewan ko na lang kung anong kailangang ebidensya na tatakbo. Tatakbo 'yan," he told Nimfa Ravelo in an interview on dzBB radio.

[He has two choppers, one 350 fixed-wing King Air aircraft, and 20 vans for political campaign. If that is not proof that he will run, I don’t know what other evidence you will need for him to run. He will run.]

Enrile, chairman emeritus of Estrada's Puwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) party, described the two choppers as French-made Aerospatiales.

The Aircraft Charter World Web site described the Beech King Air 350 as having a passenger capacity of up to 11, and up to 550 pounds luggage. It said the aircraft is capable of landing at 95 percent of all U.S. airports, and most others worldwide.

The Web site controller.com listed the prices of a 2009 King Air at $6.6 million; and a 2008 King Air at $5.775 million.

Estrada won the presidency in 1998 but was deposed in 2001 following a corruption scandal. He was convicted of plunder in 2007 but was later pardoned by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Estrada, a former actor, has offered to run for president in 2010 if the opposition did not unite and field a single candidate to challenge the administration standard bearer. Enrile ran in the 2004 elections under Estrada’s Puwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) before quitting his posts as president of PMP and declaring himself an “independent" in the Senate.


Tanong:
1. Can he really run as President of the Philippine Republic..?

Japan-Philippine (JPEPA) Relations

Philippine President Gloria Arroyo on Thursday hailed “a new era of economic relations” with Japan after a trade deal took effect last year, and called for more Japanese investment in her country.

The trade deal is officially called Japan-Philippine Economic Partnership Agreement, or JPEPA.

President Arroyo, who arrived in Japan on Wednesday for a working visit, was to meet with Prime Minister Taro Aso later in the day to discuss economic ties, North Korea’s May nuclear test and other issues, foreign ministry officials said.

“With the entering into force of the joint paper, now we open a new era of economic relations,” the President told Japanese business leaders, referring to the bilateral free-trade deal that took effect in December 2008.

The agreement “needs adjustments for both parties, but the net result of this agreement will benefit both of our economies,” she said. “Let me say to the Japanese business community: For growth, even through the global crisis, invest in the Philippines. Trade with the Philippines.”

Mrs. Arroyo and Japan’s then-Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi agreed on the economic partnership agreement in 2006, Manila’s first bilateral free-trade deal.

The Philippine Senate did not ratify the deal until October last year, as environmentalists warned it could make the country a dumping ground for Japan’s toxic waste.

The pact removes all tariffs on about 94 percent of bilateral trade by value and allows Philippine nurses and care workers to work in Japan on a long-term basis. Remittances make up about 10 percent of the Philippine economy.

Tokyo is the largest trading partner for Manila, while Manila is the second largest destination for Japanese foreign direct investment after the United States, according to the Japanese foreign ministry.

‘Samurai’ bonds

A local media report in Japan also said the Philippines was considering selling up to $1-billion worth of yen-denominated bonds—so called samurai bonds—to help ease budget difficulties.

The details were yet to be decided, but Manila was considering issuing the bonds in two years, using a guarantee program of the Japan Bank for International Cooperation for the issuance, Kyodo News reported.

Connection with this issues their are lots of our fellow Filipino who against on this including me. With 14 Senators the JPEPA was approve and this senators are follows:
Miriam Defensor Santiago, Manuel Roxas III, Edgardo Angara, Rodolfo Biazon, Alan Peter Cayetano, Jinggoy Estrada, Juan Ponce Enrile, Gregorio Honasan, Panfilo Lacson, Loren Legarda, Ramon ‘Bong’ Revilla Jr., Miguel Zubiri, Manuel Villar Jr., and Lito Lapid.

There are only 4 senators who voted against the approval of the treaty. They were Aquilino Pimentel Jr, Ma. Consuelo ‘Jamby’ Madrigal, Francis Escudero, and Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino Jr.
If you notice that most of the senators who vote for JPEPA is a candidates for the 2010 Presidential Elections.

Tanong:
1. Are you in favor of JPEPA..?
2. Is this agreement did not violate our provisions of the 1987 Constitution..?
3. How we can assure that their is no anomaly happened on this agreement..?
4. Is the purposed of JPEPA is for our country or only for the few people in our country.

Congress Woman For GMA in 2010..?

May mga haka-haka na pagka tapos daw ng tirmino ni Gloria Macapagal Arroyo ay tatakbo sya bilang congresswoman sa 2010 election sa lalawigan ng Pampangga. Ayon kai Mayor Jerry Pelayo na malapit sa Pangulo ay wag daw bigyan ng malisya ang pag-bibisita ni GMA sa kanilang lugar kasi daw ay tumutulong lang sya. Pero kong si Mayor Jerry Pelayo daw ang tatanongin ay iko-kombinsi nya ang Pangulo ng tatako bilang congrisista sa kanilang distrito kasi nga daw ay magaling sya na leader at isa sya sa mga asset ng kanilang distrito at marami na syang nagawa sakanilang lugar. Ayon sa isang political analyst, tatakbo si PGMA para magka-roon daw sya ulit ng position sa goberno at para ma iwasan nya ang mga katiwali-an na ginagawa nya. At kong magiging Congresswoman man sya ay may posibilidad din na magiging Minister sya ng bansa na kong saan isa sa rispetadong tao sa pamahalan at pangatlo sa pinaka-makapangyarihang tao sa goberno.

Pero ayon naman sa Opposition na kong tatakbo bilang congrisista si GMA ay tatapatan ito ng Dating Pangulo ng Pilipinas na si Dating Pangulong Joseph Ejercito Estrada na kong saan ay nagpa hayag din sya na may posibilidad na tatakbo sya ulit bilang Pangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas..

Tanong:

1. Kong totoo man ang haka-haka ng tatakbo si GMA bilang Congresswoman ibibigay mo ba ang iyong boto sa taong nabukan na ang kanyang kakayahan at nakikita muna ang positibo at nigatibong pamamalakad nya..?
2. Kong magka harap muli sina PGMA at Dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada saan mo ibibigay ang iyong boto sa darating na 2010 Presidential election??Bakit..??

ERAP Posibling Tatakbo sa 2010 (Presidential Election)

May mga haka-haka na ang dating napatalsik na si Dating Pangulong Joseph Ejercito Estrada ay tatabo bilang pangulo sa darating na 2010 Presidential Election. Sa hanay ng mga nag daan pangulo sa ating bansa marahil isa sya sa may makulay na pinag daan sa kanyang buhay. Isa sya sa pinaka sikat na actor sa kanyang henirasyon na kilalabilang tagapag-tanggol ng ina-alipusta at ina-api at ang imahe na ito daw kong bakit naging malapit sya sa masa at sa taong bayan.

Dahil sa naging malapit nga sya sa masa ang dating actor ay naging isang politika na kong saan ay na lok-lok bilang Mayor sa loob ng labing pitong taon (17 Years), naging sinador, Bise Presidente hanggang ma halal bilang pangulo ng Pilipinas. Sya ang nagin kauna-uhanang actor na naging pangulo at kauna-unahang pangulo din na humarap sa kasong Impeachment ,nahatolan sa kasong plunder at nakulong.

Sa kabila ng nang yari kay Erap hinde parin nawala ang kanyang papularida at implowinsya sa masa. Halos lahat ng mga ini-indorso nya sa pulitika ay nahalal at kasama na ang kanyang mga kamag-anak. Pagka lipas ng maraming taon may pagbabanta kaya na babalik ng palasyo ang dating naupo at napatalsik na pangulo.? Simula ng sya'y makalaya ay nag umpisa na syang nag ikot sa bansa. Sa inteview sakanya ng Reporters NoteBook mga 90% na ang posibilidad na tatakbo sya muli bilang pangulo ng Pilipinas. Sya ang kauna-unahang pangulo na nabigyan ng Presidential Pardon na kong saan ang nakasaad dito ay "He is hereby restored his civil and political rights" kasama na dito ang bilang bumoto at iboto. Sa sinabi nya na ito marami tuloy na mga katanongan ang pumasok sakin.:

1. Pwedi pa kaya syang tumakbok Bilang Pangulo?
2. Anu-Ano ba ang mga basihan para payagan sya ulit na tumakbo.??
3. Buboto ka ba kong sakaling tatabo si ERAP bilang pangulo..?
