Gibo hits back: Uncle Danding doesn't own me
MANILA, Philippines - Lakas-Kampi-CMD standard-bearer Gilberto Teodoro on Friday reacted to remarks made by his aunt and cousin that he has been ungrateful to his uncle, Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) chair emeritus, Eduardo "Danding" Cojuangco Jr., who had supported his professional and political career.
"Issues of that nature are not proper issues for a presidential election. Issues of that nature do not affect the life of Juan de la Cruz by any stretch of imagination," Teodoro said.
His remarks were well applauded during the national convention of the Chamber of Thrift Banks in Makati City on Friday.
Teodoro said it's bad to assume that if "the patron has created you, the patron has made you, therefore the patron owns you."
"That kind of politics has beset the country for a long, long time," he added.
Teodoro said rifts within his family should not be made an election issue since these do not affect the lives of the Filipino people.
He said making these an election issue was "quite dangerous" as it "smacks of patronage politics."
Response to cousin Lisa
Teodoro was reacting to his cousin Lisa Cojuangco-Cruz, daughter of Danding, who commented on Thursday that she would not support him as she openly endorsed Liberal Party (LP) presidential candidate Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III of the Liberal Party.
"Sa akin, that's beside...beyond me already. Republika ng Pilipinas ang pinag-uusapan dito. Bansa ang pinag-uusapan, hindi isang pamilya, hindi ang pakiramdam ng tao, unless ang mindset mo, ikaw ang may-ari ng bansa (That's beside...beyond me already. The Republic of the Philippines is what's at stake here. It's about the nation, not about a single family, not about the feelings of a single person, unless your mindset is that you own the country)," Teodoro said.
Cojuangco-Cruz told ABS-CBN News in a campaign sortie of Aquino III that their family will support any presidential candidate but Teodoro.
She said her father felt insulted by Teodoro's decision to leave the NPC for the administration party, Lakas-Kampi-CMD.
"Masamang-masama ang loob ng daddy ko. He was given all the best, better than all the children. Basta na lang umalis. Walang kinalaman si GMA (President Arroyo). Lumaki ang ulo eh. Kailangan niyang bumaba (My daddy feels really bad. He was given all the best, better than all the children. He just went away. President Arroyo has nothing to do with this. He (Teodoro) became arrogant. He needs to look down)," Cruz said.
Anybody but Gibo
Last month, Danding's wife, Gretchen, told reporters that her husband would support any candidate except for Teodoro. (Read: Anybody but Gibo, says Danding's wife)
"Anybody but Gibo. Anybody," she told reporters, after being asked who her husband would support between Teodoro and their other nephew, Noynoy Aquino.
I'm just a wife that's why ga lain ang buot ko (sumasama ang loob ko) for my husband," she said in Ilonggo.
Mrs. Cojuangco said Teodoro failed to inform her husband that he was leaving the NPC to join Lakas-Kampi-CMD despite receiving help from Danding for the past 9 years.
She also belied reports that Teodoro and her husband are in good terms. -- With a report from Willard Cheng, ABS-CBN News

NOYNOY AQUINO: POINTS TO PONDER
Noynoy Aquino has 16 very simple "points to ponder" in his site http://www.noynoy.ph/. The platform has sixteen (16) points, namely:
1. A government headed by a President who will be the foremost crusader against graft and corruption.
2. Job generation is top priority to realize or concretize economic gains or data before the people.
3. Education as central strategy, meaning the Noynoy administration will surely invest in enhancing the skills or the potentialities of human resources to combat poverty.
4. Advancement or improvement of public health.
5. Enhancement of the justice system
6. An Executive department that dispenses equal justice and fair to everyone
7. Recognition of farms and rural enterprises as key engines for achieving food security.
8. Anti-poor programs that widens economic opportunities for the poor.
9. A government that promotes conditions for growth of all economic sectors, big or small.
10. A government that promotes local employment opportunities and takes care of Filipinos who decide to work abroad.
11. Political appointees chosen based on integrity, competence and performance.
12. Professionalization of the government bureaucracy.
13. A government that promotes gender equality in all spheres of life.
14. " A broadly supported peace initiative" in Mindanao--whatever that means.
15. Allow the building of "Inclusive urban communities"--whatever that means.
16. Sustainable use of natural resources for the betterment of the country.
Survey?
Sorry sa mga naniniwala sa surveys, mahigit isang dosena ang gumagawa nito pero SWS lang ang binabalita dito, paano na ang ibang grupo? it doesn't reflect the true feelings of the votes. Gibo's 6% is not accurate and more people will see the real character and qualities of Gibo as time goes on. What if he wins because of the silent voters? Sasabihin nyo nadaya? Hindi lang taga-Maynila ang Pilipino sa bansa natin tandaan nyo yan!
wondering
chiz and gibo both left npc... is there a common denominator for their decision? is there something so repulsive and unacceptable to the 2 guys? something noynoy is now welcoming with open arms? further, loren is with villar... danding has both bases survey leaders covered (in his pocket?)... pretty shrewd... just another business deal... hope we can see behind the smokescreen
It is a puzzle how Gibo was able to fool even only a measly 6 %
Let us put this in its proper perspective. Gibo who has always been in the mold of his uncle only decided to break free when he realized he is not going to get the endorsement of NPC because Chiz overshadowed him in popularity. Desperate about his ambition to become president and wanting to show his displeasure over NPCs bias in favor of Chiz, and believing that as in 2004 the admin can deliver him victory, he decided to bolt NPC without even the modicum of courtesy to inform his uncle and joined Lakas. In my book this is treachery and ingratitude in its highest form. Lucky for us, while he was able to fool the self proclaimed intellectuals, many of us who had lots of common sense did not fail to see through the false facade he tried to build for himself and ignore him.
DANDING COJUANGCO is the
DANDING COJUANGCO is the greediest man in the Philippines, he manipulated politics and business alike, and GIBO'S response is way past overdue...heck i might just vote for you now...

Pinoy got talent: Cohuangco drama
Hay naku. Out of disperation nagdrama ulit itong mga Cohuangco. They thought the filipinos are too stupid and damn making this stage show with the paid media who wrote this article. Akala mo'y mga showbiz nagtratrabaho. What do you expect from people who are too greedy. Can't they think of another trick to fool the filipino's? Why not Gibo shoot Danding to make it more credible?
PAPAANO???
Ano ang kakayahan mong iaayos ang bansa! kung ang sarili mong pamilya ay di mo maiayos. Magandang halimbawa iyan! si Danding ay isang malaking pader (wall), di hamak naman na mas malaking pader ang buong Pilipinas. . .
Right
Yes, his right when he said his not owned by Danding, Right again because he transfer his ownership to Arroyo, anong pinagkaiba, wala pa rin siya sarili panindigan. User tawag dyan. Right ginamit siya ni Danding and Arroyo, e nagpamit siya e.
