Alan Peter Cayetano: Candidate for Senator

[rusem]

too much grand standing... he has spent his tenure in congress to personally attack the first family. gutsy? maybe... but not a single law passed?! i thought members of congress' primary role is to create laws which will uphold the filipino people's interest... just like what kimpoy said... this dog is "all bark, no bite"...

[Gumusut_Amige]

ser di ba mahirap mag-trust sa mga taong lesser evil, kasi eventually madagdagan ang evil nya or sasama pa. kumbaga sa baso, half-full pa lang.

mas ok na din yun evil, kasi puno na. puwede pa bumait kasi buhay naman parang gulong. evil -> good -> lesser evil -> evil -> good again

ser ob, parang wala yatang limits or saturation pt. yung evil term... anong palagay mo

[oldblue]

hindi naman. tignan mo si erap, chavit, binay and others na sobra maimpuwensya sa nasasakupan nila. they can do anything they want, wish anything they need, order anybody around sa nasasakupan nila etc. -> that is my def. of evil.

sa sobrang capacity nila with their power - they are now evil. pero what do they do, they share their wealth to the people. and so parang unloading of evil na din, hence they become good again.


pero eto si Cayetano, lesser evil na ambisyoso na sobra bumilis umakyat sa ladder to our expense and to the expense of People with more authority than him (like blatantly attacking the First Family without complete proof)

sasama pa yan ...

[Bogeyman]

IMO, there is only one Senator Cayetano who will always be worthy of recognition; and he's already practicing in that great law firm in the sky.

Alan Peter? Cayeta--.

[iigakusei]

if i were to choose between cayetano and sotto, oreta, montano.

i will vote for cayetano.

[Isuzoom]

none of the above.....

[awing]

none of the above.....

marami na yatang nakalimot sa mga patong patong na issue sa pamahalaang arroyo.

1. hello garci
2. most expensive road
3. jose pidal

sa hello garci pa lang, alam na nating tutuo ito, eventhough hindi nailabas lahat ang evidence, pero still... it doesnt mean na hindi ito tutuo dahil lang sa hindi sila nakasuhan at napigilan ang impeachment.... why? eh mas maraming congressman na nasa side ng admin eh...

di na mabilang ang mga kabulastugan... pero ni isa yata eh walang natuloy na kaso at di sila nanagot sa mga ito.

sa case ni cayetano... since hello garci, impeachment hanggang sa hidden account sa germany... andyan sya para bumatikos sa pamahalaan... kung wala yung mga tulad nya, like ping lacson et al ,,, tayong mga mamamayan... di tayo magkakaroon ng idea kung ano ang mga maling nangyayari sa pamahalaan.... dahil sa mga senador at congressman naman nanggagaling lahat ng kabahuan ng mga kasamahan nila.

Im looking it at this way... kailngan natin ng balance na posistion sa gobyerno.

Gloria Arroyo - Admin side
mas ok na yung nasa linya ng mga mananalong senador eh mas marami ang opposition... like wise sa linya ng mga congressman...

bakit ko nasabi ito? para mas marami ang tagabantay at mas maraming tagamasid... nang sa ganun mas madali natin malalaman kung ano mga maling nangyayari... at kahit papani maminimize ang katiwalian.

just in case sa 2010 at sa side naman ng opposition manalo bilang president...

ganun din magandang senaryo sa senate at congress.. yung makaadmin naman dati ang dapat maging mas marami...

thats why for me, im for the likes of ping lacson, chiz escudero, cayetano, joker arroyo etc dahil nakita ko sa kanila yung mga strong points on how to protect the interest of the majority.

[shadow]

sama mo na si joc-joc bolante....

[tsikot]

i have nothing against this...
but this only holds true if the opposition is responsible and sincerely fiscalizing.... not just grandstanding and wantonly opposing every administration initiative and program. Their main agenda is supposed to be legislative and drafting laws for the good of the country and all Filipinos.

If what they deem to be actively opposing is to 'investigate for the sake of reelection', no thanks.

remember what joker arroyo said... "where were the opposition then when he was opposing the various GMA executive orders in the supreme court?" except for pimentel, the other oppositionists were nowhere to be found.

and why did they not condemn any extra consitutional attempts in grabbing power? because in a way, they will benefit if such did succeed. and now they have trillanes.

just consider why the opposition now is lacking in funds: the businessmen cannot in their conscience support a group whose only agenda is to destroy and attack and one which has no viable alternative program. all the gains in the economy will be demolished...

Too true. I'm all for checks and balances in government, but people like Cayetano give legitimate dissent a VERY BAD name. All they've done during their terms is waste every penny of my taxes, spewing hot air and conducting their wild goose chases just to indulge their collective ego. Para lang masabi na may nagawa sila sa pwesto.

Even Lacson looks good when compared side-by-side with this empty yakker.

[oldblue]

ang nakakapagtaka lang bakit andami gusto magbantay, may bantay sa Congress may bantay sa Senado, may NBI, may Pulis, may Ombudsman, may media, may leftist, may civil society.

sa sobrang dami ng bantay ni GMA. napaka-inefficient naman ata nila kasi hanggang ngaun di pa din nila mahuli-huli. what a waste of taxpayer's money!

buti pa ang judicial system eh, kung ano lang talaga trabaho nila, yun ang ginagampanan nila.

mahirap talaga pag hindi in-exercise ang utak, puro bantay na lang ginagawa as an excuse para magka-silbi.

on the brighter side of the news, the economy is picking-up. we can't deny that the present leadership is doing something worthwhile naman pala. bakit kaya hindi naman nila bantayan yun ng hindi na bumulusok ulit.
kakasuka na pakinggan mga reklamador + "bantay". malamang ang hirit ng mga "bantay" natin pag naging ala Tiger economy na tayo, "dahil sa pagbabantay namin yan kaya umunlad ang ekonomiya". Yeah sure!

Legimate dissent or not, the likes of Cayetano et al have a way of twisting facts to support their personal agenda. They want to appeal to the "masa" by attacking FG's bank accounts to show that they do not side with the moneyed elite. But if we are able to read between the lines, his attacks are more personal. If he is true to his cause, there are a lot of government institutions which are graft ridden.

Bakit hindi ito tinarget niya (i.e BIR, PNP, AFP, DPWH, Office of the President, etc). Mahirap ba maghanap ng ebidensya at sa Germany pa napunta yung crusade nya? Takot ba siya sa mga ibang tao? Or it is just plain politicking? Ano nga pala mapapala nya pag tinarget niya corruption sa PNP or BIR? Ang problema kasi niya feeling niya pag inatake niya si FG absolute na yung mga paratang at crusade nya against PGMA which is unfair naman. So to prove his cause, he should start investigating where their pork barrel is spent (hello peter!). That's when I'll start to believe he has the balls to fight corruption.

I want to see a strong opposition which would fiscalize on a level that would promote our cause.

We're not at all (well, for some) stupid to be easily cowed and swayed by a "lame" opposition. Yes lame because they don't stand on any platform where they can stand proud and proclaim their love for their country. Their goal is to unseat GMA. I have not seen them rally against Coup attempts. Actions speak louder than words.

But then again, I could easily recognize an empty talker when I hear (and see) one. I can hear you Peter...

[herbularyo]

I will not vote for CAYETANO.

Remember his so called "expose" against FG Mike Arroyo's alleged secret German bank accounts without presenting solid evidence. Na KORYENTE. To me it is a case of: "Guilty until proven innocent".

If he has the guts to do it against the 1st family how much more for the common "tao". You might be accused of such crime and summoned to the senate by Senator (God forbid) Cayetano to bring evidence to prove that you're innocent.

Sisilipin daw citizenship ni Cayetano ayon sa DOJ.

DOJ probing oppositionist Cayetano's citizenship

MANILA, Philippines -- The Department of Justice (DoJ) is investigating the citizenship of Genuine Opposition (GO) senatorial candidate Allan Peter Cayetano, Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez said on Monday.
Gonzalez revealed that, in 1992, Cayetano, the third-term Taguig-Pateros representative, held an Alien Certificate of Registration and although then Immigration commissioner Andrea Domingo affirmed Cayetano’s Filipino citizenship, he wants to see if that ruling had been affirmed by the DoJ.
Gonzalez said the affirmation of one’s citizenship by the Bureau of Immigration is not enough.
Based on a DoJ opinion issued by then justice secretary Teofisto Guingona, "there can only be no other logical conclusion to the issue raised than that Orders of Recognition as Filipino citizen issued by the Bureau of Immigration are subject to the affirmation of the Department of Justice, through the Secretary of Justice."
"It’s good to look at it. If it’s not confirmed then he is not a Filipino citizen," Gonzalez said. "If yes, there won't be any problem...if not...we don't know yet."
Section 3 Article 6 of the 1987 Constitution provides: "No person shall be a Senator unless he is a natural-born citizen of the Philippines."
Gonzalez said he received the information about Cayetano’s citizenship on Saturday.

gutom na naman itong isang tuta ni gma... kumakahol na naman. am not a fan of cayetano either

[van_wilder]

Both he and Escudero are the new breed of stupid politicians who do nothing but instill fear and doubt to the masses without offering any solution or proof.

huli mo bro!

[oneng]

[SIZE=2]He is at it again, asking comelec to prove that the other Peter Cayetano in the list of senatoriables is a nuisance candidate. He maybe right in saying that the other Cayetano is a nuisance candidates but I believe it is his (Alan Peter Cayetano) responsibility to proved it and not the comelec. Instead of talking and grandstanding why don't he persuade KBL party to cancel its accreditation to the other Cayetano.If the only intelligent part of his body is his mouth I rather NOT VOTE for him

it's obvious na this "peter cayetano" came from the admin..the problem with comelec, if they will not investigate then who will?, if cong cayetano came out with evidences, which I think he already has, will the comelec just accept it as it is? what if the evidences was faabricated? it measn they still need to investigate, right?

in fact, the leaders of KBL, the marcoses, had already spoken, they don't know this "jojo cayetano" they didn't nominate him, since they are the leader of KBL, they should know their members...but they didn't

the neighbors of tis "cayetano" says that he is know as jojo, since his real name is joselito, how come the nickname he filed in comelec is Peter?

so, tell me? does the comelec still needs more evidences?

[joem]

one cayetano, pimentel, estrada,actor in the senate is enough. kailangan pa ba ang anak o kapitid? para ano pa?
