tingting lang pala katapat

[dbuzz]

small-time na naman... 400k pesos!

yung billions sa Election computerization, pinalalampas! di kasi dikit sa malacanang kaya di pabor sa kanya ang decision ng sandiganbayan. AT maraming kaso pa na bigger sums ang involved.

maaring super hina lang talaga sya ngayon.
ito..panahon pa yata ng si Erap ang pres ng nasa high point ang political carrer nya (eh ano nga ba ang latest kay erap?..dapa diba?) then dagdagan pa ng agrabyaduhin nya ang anak ng dating pres...whewwww. BIG MISTAKE..
at abusado din talaga kasi. isipin mo, dyan sa loob ng subdv alam namin kung nagogoodtime sya doon kasi sarado ang kalye.([SIZE=1]****ada tuloy goodtime din namin[/SIZE] lol)
well, sa usaping election computerization abangan na lang nating mawala sa power sila at may mangyari din. iyan ay kung maykakarga at kontrobersyal pa ang usaping yun dahil ang danger nga ay yung ugaling shortness of memory nating pinoy.

Ayun nuong mga nakaraang eleksyon , di naman bulag mga taga-paranaque--natimbog sila ni anjo..hindi na nanalo...hinhabol pa ng present administration ng paranaque city.

Update: Sandiganbayan affirms Marquez conviction

Joey Marquez overpriced 55,000 'walis', court affirms

The Sandiganbayan Fourth Division affirmed Wednesday the conviction of actor Joey Marquez on graft charges for the illegal purchase of more than 55,000 overpriced broomsticks or "walis" while he was still mayor of Parañaque.

The court affirmed its earlier verdict which found Marquez and three other city officials guilty of five counts of graft and sentenced them to six to 10 years in jail for each count.

The court ordered the four to pay P462,708 representing the overpriced amount in the procurement of 55,432 brooms.

The Commission on Audit filed the case after it discovered that broomsticks purchased from January 1996 to September 1997 by the city government under Marquez’s term were overpriced and did not go through the regular bidding procedures.

Marquez was mayor of Parañaque from 1995 to 2004.

A government audit team reported that 31,334 small brooms were bought for P15 each and 24,098 large brooms for P25 each.

The team said the small brooms were overpriced by P4 each and the big ones by P14 each, based on the price lists for the same items obtained from the neighboring municipality of Las Piñas.

Never take indigenous materials for granted

Now let's see if he really lands in jail. Alam nyo naman, yang 10 years pwedeng ma 'bargain' for 10 days nalang.

[Bogeyman]

Buti sana kung 10 days man lang makulong. Baka maging "community service" na lang yan by way of "donation".

[oliver1013]

Ayos ikulong na yan..then lets move on to bigger fishes..lets say yung millions of dollars naman para nationwide ang impact...mukhang takam na takam na mga taga bilibid sa hamburjer!!

[Bogeyman]

Hindi pa daw effective yung conviction ni Tsong. Nakapag-piyansa siya ng mahigit 200,000, plus ie-elevate pa daw nila sa Supreme Court yung kaso.

[LexTer]

mag a appeal lang yan malamang. tapos mananalo sa kaso pag nagpalit na ng presidente.
