To Pnoy: If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Hindi lang naman ikaw ang presidenteng binatikos at hindi ikaw ang huling babatikusin.

Kumandidato ka bilang presidente tapos hindi mo alam yang ganyan. Tsk tsk tsk.

SEPTEMBER 5 2005
Gloria's not-so secret weapon
by Alan C. Robles
Hot Manila

President George Bush senior was often described as "impeachment proof." The reason? His vice president, Dan Quayle, was a nincompoop. In 1989, during one pre-inauguration briefing, a British journalist actually asked: "is it true that should anything happen to the president, the Secret Service have strict orders to immediately shoot Dan Quayle?"

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo would understand. One big factor that has let her hang on to power this long is that she's got her own sub-caliber human shield - his name is Noli de Castro.

For more than two months now, without doing anything more than be himself, Vice President De Castro has been instrumental in thwarting attempts to unseat President Arroyo. Each time outrage over Mrs. Arroyo's chicaneries boils over, every time efforts to oust her work up a head of steam, the whole enterprise screeches to an abrupt halt when everyone realizes yet again who it is who'll take over.

The Vice President is not Satan's spawn, nor does he have a record of serial child molestation. By most accounts, De Castro is charmingly personable. And if sartorial splendor were the only requisite of leadership, the natty, elegant and expensively-dressed vice president would surely be on the top of everybody's "go for" list.

No, the problem is that nobody knows what's underneath all that elegant packaging. De Castro has been vice president for more than a year now and was a senator for three years before that. Yet the public still hasn't a clue what it is he stands for.

He claims to have the interests of the media, the poor and the overseas workers close to his heart, and can point to a stack of bills and resolutions he filed as a senator. But these are all standard, generic statements and deeds. Sponsorship of a bill entitled "An inquiry in aid of legislation into the causes of the mass evacuation of Filipino residents in Sabah" doesn't quite cut it as the stuff of great accomplishments.

It's difficult seeing any fire, passion, depth or perceptiveness in this man. For someone who used to be in broadcasting, De Castro has been singularly nonchalant and unruffled over the fact that the Philippines is now the world's second most lethal country (after Iraq) for journalists. And on the great issues convulsing the nation - massive corruption, abuse of power, accountability, political reform - the vice president has no position to offer.

As far as is known, De Castro's current political ambition is a negative one. He does not want President Arroyo to step down. A news report claims that this July, when Mrs. Arroyo was supposedly thinking of packing it in, De Castro and executive Eduardo Ermita prevailed upon her to stay put. The vice president, according to the story, vehemently said he wasn't ready to be president.

How can Mrs. Arroyo not help but feel fondness for such a man, the best investment she ever made in the parade of political lightweights and nonentities she's brought to government service? No doubt she's congratulated herself on the decision to take him on as her running mate. She should also be grateful her vice president hasn't proved as enterprising as she herself was in similar circumstances (five years ago, when she was vice president, Mrs. Arroyo denounced then President Estrada even before his impeachment trial started and called on him to resign for the sake of the country and the economy).

Even more important for the administration, De Castro has been silent and docile about the Garci scandal. Perhaps he's waiting for someone to hand him a script. After all, it's what he does best, and what he owes his meteoric political rise to: reading a teleprompter and saying "magandang gabi bayan" in a deep, pompous voice.

The fact is, De Castro's swift transformation from news reader to senator and then vice president owes nothing to any skills in governance, management or politics. He simply followed the route taken by basketball players, toilet comedians and bad actors, parlaying media visibility and popularity into votes. The vice president has never run a company, managed a business, nor (unlike Mrs. Arroyo) headed a government agency. It is unlikely that his madcap gallop from senator to vice president (he didn't even bother to finish his term in the senate) has given him any experience or preparation for national politics and statecraft.
Given these deficits, it's understandable why Vice President De Castro would feel incapable of taking Mrs. Arroyo's place. His candor is admirable, but all the same, the question is, why did this man ever run for office to begin with? The depressing answer seems to be, because he knew he'd win.

What De Castro's career illustrates is not a failure of the presidential system, but a degradation of Philippine political culture. It's why there will be no happy endings to this crisis, no matter what the outcome.
For months, the prevailing view has been that junking Mrs. Arroyo and replacing her with De Castro would be a short hop from the wok to the flames. Now it's just a matter of time before the public, alarmed by the way the president is draining the treasury and deforming political institutions in her bid to stay on, will grasp the knife blade.

There is a lot of talk about a caretaker government but given this country's obsession with legalism, chances are fair to good that the vice president will wind up the chief executive. Filipinos are staring at the bottom of the political barrel. Staring back up at them is the face of Noli de Castro.

dapat naman tlaga pag retire-in na yan Noli De Castro na yan

He is a clear example of a media man na akala mo ang Dami alarn, ang Dami sagot, saviour at Kung anu-Ano pa style tapos ng binigyan ng pakakataon ng tadhana, ma-posisyon take note 2nd highest position in the land, tameme!

Kung talagang magaling sya dapat sya top contender against Pnoy eh, kse usually the VP can always take a shot at the Presidency.

yan Lang talaga silbe ng media, magaling sa réklamo at sumbat. if we really want to clean our system, clear their dirty mouths lalo na yan mga buwaya sa ABS-CBN.
