[Bogeyman]

Sinabi ni Tito Sotto na sana hindi na lang niya inimpluwensiyahan si FPJ na tumakbo for president.

Eh di inamin din niya, after so many denials. Dapat siya na lang yung pinunit ng mga tao sa Sto. Domingo for polluting their idol...

[superdude]

cgro kaya gusto din tumakbo ni fpj kasi napagisip isip niya pag naging pres na siya he can help more people,pero at the back of the mind of sotto and angara eh gagawin lang nilang parang puppet si fpj pero sila un nagpapatakbo sa likod.damn.....sana kunin na din sila ni lord,ay ni satan pala.bwahahaha.

Angry Poe wife speaks out TV network hit for biased election reporting

Updated 00:56am (Mla time) Dec 17, 2004
By Luige del Puerto, Fe Zamora, Ester G. Dipasupil
Inquirer News Service


Editor's Note: Published on page A1 of the December 17, 2004 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer

SUSAN Roces, dubbed as "the face that refreshes" of Philippine movies in the late '50s, hardly looked like the demure debutante of the numerous flowers and frills movies she had starred in, but a woman who "was ready to tell everything that my husband had prevented me from saying."

In a fighting mood on the day she and her late husband Fernando Poe Jr. considered their "true" wedding anniversary (the couple marked their elopement 36 years ago yesterday, and were married in church rites on Dec. 25, 1968), Roces categorically asked for an accounting of the "persons responsible for besmirching my husband's name" on nationwide television, and lashed at critics who had called her husband "a mere actor" who had no business being in politics.

In a rare outburst of anger, the actress asked what had come of those who had besmirched her husband's name, adding that her family would not allow their honor to be trampled upon.

"What has been the punishment of those who faked (my husband's) birth certificate?" she said.

Poe's camp had alleged that documents brought out by former National Archives Director Ricardo Manapat in the heat of the political campaign this year showing the presidential contender was not a Filipino had been forged. Lawyer Victorino Fornier had also filed a disqualification case against Poe, arguing that he was not a natural-born Filipino, but the case was thrown out by the Supreme Court.

The actress also pointed out the irony in conferring the title of National Artist on Poe by some quarters, when they had questioned her husband's citizenship. "What are the qualifications in order to be given such an honor? Who is giving the award?" she asked.

Timing of offer

Twice in the interview, with GMA 7's Mel Tiangco, Susan questioned the timing of the offer.

Asked to comment on the report that Malacañang was amenable to giving her husband a Presidential Merit Award, the actress said: "Sana ibalik na lang nila ang ilang percentage ng entertainment tax to the people in the industry. My view is that Ronnie deserves to be honored by his colleagues and by people who sincerely feel that he made significant contributions to the industry."

Scolds ABS-CBN

Later, in another interview with ABS-CBN, she told a startled Karen Davila of TV Patrol World: "Masama ang loob ko sa inyo, Channel 2," she said bluntly, charging that its bias against her husband in the coverage of his presidential bid, had continued in its reporting about Poe's electoral protest, his illness and death.

"Hindi ko kikimkimin ang sama ng loob ko," she emphasized. "People don't want to watch your news coverage because you capitalize on personal hurt," she said.

The widow then proceeded to cite instances during the last elections when Channel 2 reporters only took "tight shots" designed to create the impression that FPJ's sorties were not well-attended. "You did not show the crowd, you weren't showing the people," she said.

Reacting to the interview, ABS-CBN sent a brief statement saying it "respects the sentiments of Ms Roces," and was extending its condolences to the Poe family.

Regarding plans to assume her husband's role in the opposition, Roces said tersely: "I just want to clarify that I have no plans of joining politics. I have no plans of making my life more complicated. I also do not want people to take advantage of me," the actress told Tiangco.

"Marami akong gustong ipagpatuloy na alam kong gustong gawin ng aking asawa, pero para personal na ambisyon, wala akong ganoon. Palagay ko yan ang dahilan kaya nagkakaganito tayo ngayon.

"Katulad nang mga nasabi ko nuon, pag ninakawan ka ng pera, madali. Pwede namang kikitain mo ulit yon. Pero pag ninakawan ka nang pangarap, di mo na maibabalik yon.

"After this I want to spend sometime by myself, to gather my thoughts."

But she said she did not regret her husband's foray into politics, although she felt a rage within her.

"Galit dahil hanggang ngayon ang mga hinaing ng mga tao, ay hindi pa naibsan. Ang question ko, ano ba ang ginagawa nila sa mga nasirang tulay sa Quezon? Sending relief goods is not enough. What have they done about illegal logging?"

Asked what she felt when a wreath sent by President Macapagal-Arroyo was torn to shreds, she said: "Karamihan sa mga bulaklak na nandito ay galing sa mga tao na kakilala namin, na sincero nagmahal kay FPJ. At yon din ang naramdaman nang mga supporter na tumatanggap. Di ako sang-ayon na hindi mabigyan galang ang mga alaala na pinaabot dito, pero hindi ko hawak ang damdamin sa mga tumatanggap nito. Nalulungkot ako na madinig yan, pero it also reflects on the person sending it. Alam mo me atraso, dapat bumisina ka muna. Siguro dapat isipin nila ano ang atraso nila. May malaki ba silang atraso?" she said.

Vowing that she would not keep mum from now on, Roces said she would be "the voice of the people." But she stressed that she would do her bit to help "as a private person."

"All I want is for us to come together to continue whatever his dreams were for all of us," she said. "And like he said once, let us not lose hope because it is possible that hope is the only thing we have now."

At the height of the campaign, Poe was often put on the defensive by his detractors who questioned his citizenship, claiming he was not a Filipino.

"I have no regrets that he joined politics," Roces said. "But I'm angry that they thought so little of my husband." She said she was particularly hurt when Poe was referred to as a "mere actor" by newspaper publisher Max Soliven.

She said actors like her know the value of education, and that is why they strive to have their children finish school. But degrees and titles in themselves mean nothing unless they are put to good use, she said.

On a lighter note, Roces said she had used her husband's perfume for the occasion, and lifted the hem of her skirt to show off Poe's black socks. She also carried his white handkerchief, she added.

Asked why she did that, Roces replied: "So that I can feel him all around me.

When Tiangco asked her to confirm a story that Poe had commandeered the singer Rico J. Puno to serenade her on one occasion when she was in a jealous mood, Roces replied with a laugh: "Hindi lang si Rico." At one time, she said Poe hired an entire orchestra just to appease her.

"At lumalabas ang pagka-Bisaya ko pag galit ako," she admitted.

Every Dec. 16 for the last three decades, Roces said she and Poe would wake up staring at each other, and then blurt out: "Napagtiyagaan na naman natin ang isa't-isa. Isang taon na naman."

They did not have to say, "I love you," she said, for deep in their hearts, they knew how much they cared for each other.

At the end of the interview, Susan thanked all those who supported her husband.

"He has not left us," she said. "He is still with us.

IMO... FPJ is a "mere" actor (as described by Max Soliven)...

but isn't that already a compliment as your life's accomplishment? to be able to entertain and put some joy to people's lives? if they are offended with that they shouldn't have gotten into showbiz in the first place.

give back entertainment tax back to the showbiz people? why in the first place? mere employees like us don't get a tax break like that! mere employees like us don't get to sign multi-million contracts?

if also she cannot stomach Philippine style politics, she should have dissuaded her husband from running in the first place. yet she openly gave her consent and campaigned for him. and from the looks of it, she is one making those politic-stained jabs at the government using her late husband's name.

let us just let FPJ be laid to rest without that much fanfare or brouhaha. he deserves that peace & tranquility.

[IceColdBeer]

IMO, I think they're not offended for being an artist, but the message itself from that article implying that they can't run the country for they are just plain and simple artist.

well, whether we like it or not there will be fanfare during the fpj funeral. brouhaha there will be. because he is not a 'mere' actor. the man's influence extends beyond his craft as evidenced by testimonials of people he had helped.

Angara-Ping rift resurfaces after FPJ’s death


Friday, 12 17, 2004

The death of action king Fernando Poe Jr. has opened old wounds between the warring opposition senators, triggered by Panfilo “Ping” Lacson's pronouncements that Edgardo Angara reportedly suggested to have Poe's better half, actress Susan Roces, take the place of the late actor in leading the opposition.

Angara, however, denied having said it, scoring Lacson for his irresponsible pronouncements vilifying him.

Minority Floor Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. expressed fears the unification being sought by the political opposition could be more difficult to achieve especially with the death of Poe.

Pimentel said efforts to bring together the frag-mented opposition forces will remain an elusive goal as long as there are political leaders who will put their pursuit of personal ambition or agenda over the interest of the party and the nation.

“What FPJ (as Poe is also popularly called) failed to achieve in his lifetime — that is to unify the opposition — would be more difficult to achieve, now that he is dead,” he stated.

Pimentel was apparently referring to Angara and Lacson.

Members of the opposition bloc in the Senate, he said, have been maintaining their cohesiveness amid Malacañang's attempts to divide their ranks and lure them into jumping over to the administration fence.

“It is my wish that we will remain united at least in the Senate. But I'm not sure if that unity will be reflected outside of the senate. We will proceed with our own espousal of the cause of the people regardless of what other so-called oppositionists believe,” he said.

Malacañang, Pimentel noted, has repeatedly enticed the opposition to join the government of national unity, which its leaders viewed as a ploy to weaken their ranks and undermine their mandated role to criticize the administration wrongdoing.

Angara was reported to have been offered Cabinet portfolio in exchange for pushing the idea of government of national unity.

Based on the most recent reports, Angara was reportedly offered the post of Acting Finance Secretary Juanita Amatong.

Pimentel reminded his colleagues to remain firm in their commitment to their being the opposition members in the legislature.

Pimentel's statement surfaced after Angara called Lacson as someone acting like a sloppy policeman.

“(Sen. Panfilo) Lacson is acting like a sloppy policeman who bungled his case before a court for failing to gather all facts as well as the actual circumstances involving his case,” he said.

“Worse, he considers hearsay as gospel truth, without verifying the integrity of the information,” Angara added, belying reports he made a suggestion concerning Roces.

The senior senator, among the founders of the Koalisyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino (KNP) carrying Poe as its standard-bearer, lashed back at Lacson, asking him to refrain from dragging Roces into politics while she is still mourning the death of her husband.

The bickering between the two was perceived as deeply rooted after Angara, president of the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP) of which Lacson was a member before and during the campaign season, endorsed Poe's candidacy to stand as the opposition's standard-bearer against Mrs. Arroyo in the last presidential polls.

The senator-lawyer said Lacson, who ran as an independent candidate but came out a poor third in the recent presidential race, should be responsible enough to at least check his facts before saying anything against anybody.

Earlier, Lacson asked Angara to shut up for making political statement at this point since this would be “un-Christian.”

According to Angara, Lacson's statement asking him to “shut up” and stop making political statement “is not only an act of callousness, but also shows his lack of decency, contrary to the image he is projecting as a man of righteousness.”

Shortly after the elections, Angara and Lacson traded blame for the defeat of the mainstream opposition to the extent of accusing each other of collaborating with the administration to ensure disunity in the ranks of the opposition.

At the same time, an official of the National Capital Regional Police Office blamed Angara for the heightened alert over what he described as “threat to peace and order” following the death of of Poe last Tuesday.

The official identified with Lacson but who asked for anonymity, said: “The police already have their hands full in anticipation of attacks from communist and terrorist groups. And here comes Angara and his camp, hinting at another Edsa-inspired uprising.”

FPJ had filed a protest against the President, whose camp he accused of cheating in the last elections.
