Palace: Noynoy retreat a 'gimmick'

Posted at 09/03/2009 5:30 PM | Updated as of 09/03/2009 5:34 PM

MANILA - A spokesman of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on Thursday labeled as gimmickry Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III’s retreat in Mindanao to deeply discern over his possible run for president in 2010.

“We respect whatever gimmickry or ways that he was to arrive at his decision,” presidential spokesperson Anthony Golez told reporters.

Golez said the supposed discernment of Aquino and his plan to declare whether he is running for president in 2010 after the 40th day (which falls on September 9) from the death of President Corazon Aquino could just be part of a political strategy.

The presidential spokesman refused to believe that Aquino’s decision to go on a week-long retreat in Mindanao was spontaneous.

“Everybody, especially political leaders have forward planning. They think 10 steps ahead. If that’s part of the plan, we respect that,” he said.

Golez, meanwhile, belittled the Liberal Party’s (LP) claim that there is a “people’s call” for Aquino to carry on the torch of his parents.

“Ito ba ‘yung mga taong kasama nila kumain?” he said, adding that the LP's claim can only be proven on May 10, 2010.

Noynoy-Mar tandem

Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said in a statement on Wednesday that the Lakas-Kampi-CMD party is confident it can overwhelm the supposed Noynoy-Mar tandem in 2010 with its strong coalition.

Ermita was certain the coalition can field a standard-bearer that can match the so-called “dream” partnership of Aquino and Senator Mar Roxas.

In an interview over radio dzMM, Roxas said he had refused to talk about his possible vice-presidential candidacy with Aquino during their meetings over the weekend.

He said Aquino had asked him if there’s a possibility they could run in 2010 in tandem.

Roxas said he told Aquino to decide first if he would accept the challenge to run for president before they go into that matter.

Supported by quitters

In an interview with reporters, Golez took a swipe at Senator Panfilo Lacson’s announcement that he is supporting Aquino’s presidential bid.

“Good for him… Quitters never win. Winners never quit. If they say they would trust Noynoy, that’s good,” the presidential spokesman said.

In throwing his support for Aquino, Lacson urged former President Joseph Estrada to give up his plan to run again for president.

Golez said Estrada’s instant reaction, not to follow Roxas’s withdrawal, is one indication that the opposition will remain splintered.

SHUT UP

MR. GOLEZ, pwede ba magpakatotoo ka. Kung wala kang masabing tama, tumahimik ka na lng. Spokesman ka ng malakanyang, dapat ang sasabihin, hindi makakasira dito. Kaylan ba 'gimik' ang pag darasal or paghingi na divine guidance. It is something personal kaya wala ka ng paki doon. HALATA TULOY NA NATATARANTA ANG MGA TAGA MALANYANG. . .at lumalabas ang totoo...na puro KASINUNGALINGAN ANG PINAGSASABI NINYO. ITS BETTER TO JUST SHUT UP, SHUP UP, OR SAY NO COMMENT, NO COMMENT, NO COMMENT. . . AT LEAST, YOU WILL NOT LIE.

Al-FILIBUSTERISMO

Mas malaking gimmick

Eto ang mas malaking gimmick ni Pandak at dapat nating bantayang lahat (pwera mga kampon ni Sata..este..GMA, kilala niyo na sarili niyo).

Akala mo bababa sa puwesto, pero yun pala mag-ma MARTIAL LAW!


Gimmick = GMA

Eto ang gimmick -- Di ba sa "I am Sorry" speech ni pandak, halatang scripted at puno ng kasinungalingan? Nabalita pa nga na naparaming beses kinunan ang speech na iyon dahil pinaluluha ng direktor si pandak noon pero talagang ayaw maluha. lumabas tuloy na katawa-tawa itong si pandak dahil mas mukha siyang natatae kesa nagdedeliver ng speech. sabi nga sa commercial "Mukhang GUILTY".


malacanang-house of darkness

everytime people from malacanang open their big, bad, stinky mouth...nangangamoy na sobra pa sa halitosis. first, si mickey mousy a.k.a. mikey the high and mighty arroyo! malacanang said he is as prepared as they are to defend himself about his SAnL but look what happened? he crucified himself in front of the scrutinizing people. kulang pa yata ang practice nya kaya he was in such a big mess!!! if only he knew how to do magic by melting himself and disappear, PUFF! he could have done it.eh kaya, pangisi-ngisi na lang siya. is there something funny Mr. Arroyo?
second, here comes Mr. Golez! gimmick daw ang gagawin ni Sen. Noynoy! naku, palibhasa nasa kampon na ng kadiliman sa malacanang, hindi na yata makakita sa liwanag ng ibang tao. pero tayong mga tao na hindi pa nailuklok sa kuko ni Gloria, of course we can see the sincerity of a person. malacanang lang naman ang hilig sa gimmicks ah kaya para sa kanila, gimmick na lang lahat. may i ask you mr. golez? in your solitude, do you really believe in Gloria's advocacy? or napasubo kana lang dyan kaya there's nothing you can do except to rescue malacanang all the time. of course para sa inyo kayo lang ang member sa long table of "greedy eaters" ang may alam sa lahat kaya nga, thanks to all of you ha, philippines is such a big mess.
we people strongly believe in Sen. Aquino's decision and whatever it may be, we hope and we pray it is for the best of this parch and impoverish country. cancer stage 4 na yata ang bansa natin, no amount of cure will do, but if we, the people will be vigilant and brave to say NO to trapos this coming election, we are the miracle who can possibly put our country into remission. it is really painful to ponder how our country is wasted! lahat ng mga tao wala na yatang isaing because only the few enjoy the fat harvest of the land. TAMA na! enough is enough is enough!!! tayoy gumising na. huwag hayaan na matutuloyan na tayong under the spell!
and to malacanang: hindi nyo ba naiisip kung bakit palaging nasa daan ang mga taon nagra rally? the basic need of the people is not even meet kaya ganito tayo. where is your conscience?

malacanang people are lost

malacanang people are lost souls!!!

hala wala ng pag-asa ang malacanang. pati si golez asal gloriatic na rin kung kumilos. gimik daw ang retreat ni Mr. Aquino. Wag naman pong ganun. lunud na lunod na kayo sa kagagawa ng gimik kaya lahat na lang ng mangyari sa mundo e mukha ng gimik sa inyo. you are all under the spell of Mrs. Arroyo. Sa mananalong pangulo sana lang po bago kayo umupo sa opisina nyo pag kayo'y naluklok, sana po ay ipataboy nyo muna ang masamang espiritu. Padasalan nyo po muna ang buong building ng Malacanang dahil sa totoo lang po sobra ang kasamaang lumukob dito sa lugar na ito. Parang naging kuta ng mga halang ang kaluluwa.
