Congreszoo and Senake Thread

Sino ba sa senate ang talagang nagtratrabaho na trabaho talaga ng senate and hindi nagpapasikat sa camera?

zubiri,pia cayetano, noynoy

Our senators holding overextended public hearings on the scuttled national broadband network project (NBN) project have betrayed their hunger for media mileage and publicity. The inclination by some senators to mouth Lozada’s "bukol" and Madriaga’s "tongpats" every chance they get exposes their lack of imagination and the lack of a true desire to get to the bottom of things.

On the 12th episode of the NBN telenovela, Senator Panfilo Lacson came up with his surprise witness and got the shock of his life. Ping was surprised by his surprise witness.

While Lacson tried to discredit or impeach his own witness, Leo San Miguel survived heavy grilling by hostile senators like Lacson, Jamby Madrigal, Mar Roxas and Kiko Pangilinan.

Dared by Roxas to undergo a lie detector test on his dismissal of Madriaga’s claim that bribery attended the NBN project, San Miguel replied: "Anytime."

Belatedly, Madriaga, Lozada and losing NBN proponent Jose de Venecia III also agreed to take the polygraph test.

Come to think of it, San Miguel only had to deny saying everything that Madriaga claimed he (San Miguel) had said. This is because Madriaga’s previous NBN testimony was pure hearsay.

Madriaga’s claim was that his boss, San Miguel, told him of tens of millions in US dollars being paid as NBN bribe money to a group of Filipinos, including San Miguel.

Since this was a case of "he said, I heard him say," San Miguel’s denying Madriaga’s claims should have been enough. But, of course, it wasn’t.

Remember that the German bank’s denial of the existence of the Cayetano-generated account for the FG was not enough to convince voters not to vote Alan Peter into the Senate.

The problem with many senators’ appreciation of what the truth is may be that even before they begin their search for the truth, they have already made up their mind as to what it is. Thus, Madrigal, Lacson, Cayetano and Pangilinan saw red when San Miguel’s version of the truth did not hew to what they had previously decided on as the truth, the whole truth and nothing but.

For the good of the country, what the Senate and the House should be working on are the territorial boundaries of the country under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

What is expected of us is to indicate the boundary markers (mohon in Tagalog which, however, translates badly into Spanish) of our territory. Then we will discuss this in the United Nations like civilized nations.

We have to finish this by sometime in 2009. Or else we will have to go by what our neighbors China, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei and Malaysia say are their boundaries. What is left after they have carved up the China Sea will be Philippine territory. That will not be much.

Please do your jobs as senators of this Republic first before that of being overly ambitious politicos!

[Lucius]

Sino ba mga senators natin ngayon? Wala kasi ginagawa kaya di ko masyado kilala. Zubiri and Enrile lang ok.

Eto ang mga dapat magsimula ulit as brgy. chairman or kagawad muna:
1. Jinggoy = ano ba yang mga tanong mo, mas matalino pa yung kapatid mo na mayor
2. Lacson = sa mata nya, opposition lang ang tama
3. A Cayetano = kung magsalita ka kala mo kumakain ka pa, watch those cheeks naman
4. Jamby = naturingan ka pa namang elite, di naman elitist ang attitude mo, buti hindi ka sinapak ni Biazon
5. Revilla = tanggalin mo na lang yung damit mo para makita ng lahat kung gano kalapad areola mo, baka matawa pa ko
6. Roxas = magtinda ka na lang sa Cubao
7. Loren = Gretchen of politics
8. Santiago = okay ang slang mo ma'm

Si Lito Lapid? Naalala ko lang na sinabi nya dati nung 07 elections, eh yung sabi nya kay Binay na magpalit muna sila. Ano yun? Parang swap kayo ng shoes? Galing mo Leon Guerrero, makikipag-bargain ka na lang sa harap pa ng media

[Isuzoom]

Gringo - Unreachable
Ping - Pintas na bading
Jamby - Pintas na di ko alam anong lahi na hayop o kasarian
Loren - Still the holding the political prostitute crown
Jinggoy - Pwede ng mag bumalik sa showbiz
Revilla - Pwede ka ng sumama sa beast friend
Roxas - Bet tayo di mo alam presyo ng bigas and isda sa cubao
Cayetano - kung buhay pa tatay mo na palo ka na
Pimentel - Pwede ka ng matulog
Lapid - invisible

Like what I said before the house of senake is composed of Stuntman not Stateman....gone are the days of Manglapus, Diokno, Aquino and others....
