Noynoy Aquino: Noynoy Says No More

In the political arena of backstabbers and conniving liars, alliances are formed and broken regularly as the wind of power shifts from side to side in a maelstrom of uncertainty and deceit. Rivals turn to allies and vice versa and no one is safe from the fickle nature of human beings. One day you’re enjoying your seemingly impregnable perch at the top and the next day, political lapdogs are biting at you from all directions hungry for blood. Political agendas, no matter how good and promising it looks on paper as whitewashed and edited by the media, still has the taint of deception and selfish gains as proven over and over again by our history of political corruption.

But there’s nothing vague about the political stance concerning the incumbent President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo of Benigno Aquino III or more popularly known as Noynoy. As the primary candidate and standard bearer of the opposition, he publicly expressed his disdain of the current administration and his disapproval of President Arroyo’s pursuit of a congressional seat. He firmly believes that the country has had enough of rampant and shameless corruption at the hands of this master deceiver.

But if they are both legally elected by the power of democracy and the constitution, he vowed that he will treat her in the same way that he would treat his closest political allies.

He would still endow her pork barrel because denying her so would incapacitate her constituents and would be detrimental for the people of Pampanga. But he also vowed that if he is elected in the highest power of the land, Gloria Arroyo will never be the Speaker of the House even if she has the support of most house representatives. And with such strong and clear statements like that, he is bound to get as much rivals as well as supporters that will be crucial especially in this stage of campaigning.

SSS: Easy Salary Loans

Because of seemingly insurmountable financial constraints worsened by the price hikes of all products, goods and services, we are forced to tighten our belts down a notch and enforce a strict budget to keep or bank accounts from withering away against the onslaught of daily expenses. But sometimes, even if we cut back on luxury expenses and material wants and even if live on our basic needs alone, life can sometimes be too tough that you simply dry out in times of dire need.

PAG-IBIG loans:Turning our Dreams to Reality

At the back of our minds even if we do not consciously entertain it because of the daily grind of work and worries, lies the dream of owning our own haven, a dream house we can call our own. But because of mounting financial pressure, global recession and economic hindrances, this prospect of having our own home seems bleak after paying all the bills and buying our basic necessities. Thus, we may resign to just renting apartments, houses and condo units for the rest of our life and living without the assurance and security that owning a private home gives.

But average consumers need not fret because PAG-IBIG is giving us all the opportunity to make this dream a reality and well within reach. Since membership to this government-sponsored fund is mandatory for SSS and GSIS members, individuals outside this group who are at least 18 years of age but not more than 65 years old may register as well. An aggregate loan value of 2,400,000,000.00 pesos is allocated to finance 6,000 eligible beneficiaries annually.

This program is readily available to eligible borrowers under the prevailing end-user housing loan program provided that they have not acquired or availed of a housing loan previously from the PAG-IBIG fund for any agency or institution. A maximum loan of 400,000 pesos is available for purchasing residential lots not exceeding 160,000 pesos, for purchase of vacant lots for construction or for the completion of pre-existing housing project.

Manny Villar: The Battle of Entourages

The whole environment and interface of the Philippine elections is entirely different from other democratic countries. With our politicians proving that they are a breed apart from the world of governance with their underhanded tactics, two-faced masks and the ability to entertain better than to lead the people of this country. Votes are no longer decided by revolutionary platforms, comprehensive and profound debates as well as intellectual discussions and public forums. The battles are now decided onstage with the most popular of singers and catchy political jingles and multi-media advertisements. And whoever has the most “stars” in their constellation-like entourage will most likely enjoy the votes of devout fans and mindless followers.

And with Noynoy Aquino’s great clout in show business second only to the hype developed by the (in)famous Joseph “Erap” Estrada due to the former’s family name and sister who is pretty much one of the top dogs of the entertainment industry. And so Manny Villar also stepped up his own game of political advertising through celebrities and popular stars. With Dolphy and Willie Revillame under his belt and publicly declaring their support for him, he appears to be growing strong among the working class.

And with his very catchy political jingle popular among kids, he seems to be getting the nod of young children as well. Now, he aims for the teenage youth by getting Sarah Geronimo in his camp as the ambassador for “Katropa”, a youth organization headed by his daughter that helps in his political campaign. It seems that he got all the bases covered with his roaring machinery running strong and firing on all cylinders. Now we just have to wait and see what happens when all the hype and publicity dies down and gives way to the time when all votes are in.

Dick Gordon:Fighting for our Unsung Heroes

Everyday, our overseas Filipino workers brave uncharted territories away from their families in order for the possibility of a better life and a brighter future. They are the new, unsung heroes of our generation and they certainly uplift our gradually ailing economy because of their dollar remittance when they send allowances to their families. They are indeed helping our country surivive the worsening economic recession while supporting their families but their future is bleak because of lack of assurance and savings for the harsh times when they are too old to work.

Senator Dick Gordon is proposing for the perfect solution to help this modern day heroes and secure their own and as well as their families’ future after braving challenges in foreign lands. He suggested the creation of the Philippines’ own provident fund for OFWs, patterned after the Central Provident Fund (CPF) of Singapore because only a few of these workers are under the Social Security System and they have no benefits from their employers in foreign companies. The common formula here is to work, save and invest in the said fund so that the hard-earned money they worked so hard for will not grow stagnant and have the potential to snowball into something big with sound investments.

He reiterated that establishing this unprecedented program would broaden the opportunities available for OFWs, opportunities that are bleak if the government doesn’t act now and act fast. Likewise, this would give them a sense of security and confidence and will give them peace of mind especially in times when they are apart from their families. But Gordon still believes that the best thing to do for our people is to provide opportunities here for our workers so that they will not have to build their future in foreign shores. And one way to do that is to revitalize our system of education, another advocacy that he is valiantly fighting for.

Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro: Dropping out of the Rat Race

Every rumor has a tinge and grain of truth in it and every truth has the stain of lies behind it. Nothing is set in stone in this life and surprises can be found lurking in dark corners of reality and the unforeseeable future. And in the dirty arena of politics, no one can be fully trusted because at the end of the day when the media spotlight is tuned off from the eyes and ears of the public, politicians all think of themselves and how they can further their own careers.

And with rumors floating around that candidate Gilbert Teodoro is dropping out of the rat race for the highest seat in the country, speculations of a bigger conspiracy is whipping the Philippines in a frenzied gossipfest. Some say that Gibo is fighting a lost cause because the stigma and scandals of President Arroyo are inadvertently attached to his candidacy due to his affiliation with the current administration. Some also insist that he is giving way to Noynoy Aquino’s dream of the presidency and that he is backing down to help his cousin in his campaign that is trailing closely behind his biiter rival Manny Villar. And still some are quick to add that President Arroyo is secretly placing her bets on Villar and that Gibo is just a helpless pawn to mislead and misdirect the voting public from her crafty and deceitful intentions. This may be far-fetched and nothing more than hearsay but we have seen worse in our history of political corruption.

Although official statements has yet to be released and all legitimate candidates are still operating their political machinery round the clock, this rumors and speculations may have a hint of truth in it. Secret alliances are nothing new and anybody drops out of the race prematurely, it will have stunning ramifications this coming elections. If Gibo indeed backs down and pledge his support to Noynoy, it may shift the momentum to the yellow camp and will ultimately narrow down the race between the two leaders. All in all, these are just rumors, but you have been warned and you heard it here first.
