All you have to do is watch the GMA7 presentation of this and you will see and know what I mean. He specifically said that he pays good to those who do good to him. It is only logical that those who are helping him, those who are allied to the present administration will be rewarded. This is one case where proof is no longer necessary. Res ipsa loquitur.
I have watched the GMA TV interviews, and I do not see anything that you are claiming. You sir are making a conclusion based on how you read (or how you want to read) the situation. Sorry, but the thing does not speak for itself. Proof is always necessary, otherwise, we wouldn't have laws on libel and defamation.



Of course, it is a mistaken notion that prosecution will be the only thing prioritized. That's oversimplification of Aquino's statement because it will be ONE of the priorities. You're talking of capacity to govern? Take it from the very mouth of Mangudadatu in his testimony before the court that Gibo Teodoro met him a month before the massacre began and explicitly warned and discouraged him not to run against the Ampatuan, Then massacre struck. In other words, Gibo knew all along how vicious and atrocious these Ampatuan clans are and yet being the DND secretary, he did not do anything despite knowledge of the possible consequences? That's not leadership to me, that's pure and simple sell-out.
I never said that prosecution of the guilty is Noy's only priority. But, you say it.. it is a priority of NA.

In Gibo's case, it is not his priority, though he will leave it to the institutions tasked to handle it. Gibo feels there are other more important things to do, and I agree with him on that. For me, the economy, education, and the family are more important concerns.


And please, don't brag about volunteerism for Gibo because at the very inception of Noynoy's campaign, it was already happening. This is the only campaign where I experienced having to buy our own mineral water while walking along EDSA handing out campaign materials. What was fulfilling is that people actually asked for campaign paraphernalia without having to force them to accept it.
Please stop putting words in my mouth. I never bragged about volunteerism being a monopoly of the Gibo campaign, and I never said anything about NA's campaign not being carried by volunteers either. Yeah, Noy did have a lot of volunteers. And so does Gibo. And so does Ed V. And so does Gordon. And so do the other candidates.

And if you should know one thing... the weeks right after Cory died? When people were pushing for Noy to run for the presidency? I actually was for it! I actually thought he did symbolize a unifying figure who could help in carrying the Philippines forward. I was even thinking of putting up a site specifically to help support Noy's campaign, to help advocate what he stood for.

But after several months, when I saw how raw he was for the position, how the euphoria died, and how negative his campaign has become, I lost faith. The lack of concrete plans and specific programs became a turn-off. And he and his supporters' penchant for tearing up opposing candidates (rather than just highlighting his virtues and advancing positive ideas and programs) has become very nauseating.

And by the way...

When Cory was president, she made it one of her priorities to go after the Marcoses and his cronies, and she had a lot of evidences and proofs to support her quest. Where are we on this again? Where is Imelda now? How are the cronies doing? How was the economy at that time? Cory then had a very strong support base. She was not a polarizing figure. But... what did she accomplish in this area?

Hmmm... have we not learned the lessons of our past?
