Pangalawa, mariing itina-
tanggi ni Emmanuel na may
kinalaman siya sa pagkamatay
ni Bordado na ayon sa mga re-
port ay lumalabas na sinalvage
umano.
At pangatlo, sa aking
pakiwari, dahil sa naging kahina-
hinalang aksiyon ni Habig,
lumilitaw na animo’y asset si
Bordado ng mga pulis at siya ay
pinakikinabangan nila.
Kinapanayam ko ang amo ni
Habig na si Col. Roberto

Hindi pag-aari ni Noynoy
ang pampanguluhan
WALANG prangkisa si
Sen. Noynoy Aquino sa
pagka-pangulo. May pagka-
dismayang sinabi ni Lakas-
Kampi-CMD President
Francis Manglapus sa
pagyayabang ni Aquino na
malawakang dayaan lamang
ang ikatatalo niya sa halalang pampanguluhan sa May 10.
Ayon kay Manglapus, “hindi n’ya pag-aari ang pwesto
ng pangulo. Sa May 10 pa eleksyon nguni’t ngayon pa lang
ay kinukundisyon na ni Noynoy ang isipan ng mga botante
na mandaraya ang kanyang mga katunggali sakali’t
malampaso siya at matalo.”
Nagbabala din si Sen. Aquino ng pag-ulit ng people power
revolt, kung hindi siya ang mananalo sa halalan. Likas na
yata talaga sa mga trapo ang mentalidad na ito, na kapag
natalo ay dinaya. Wala na yatang pulitiko sa ating bansa na
tumanggap ng pagkatalo, para bagang siya lamang ang may
karapatang manalo. Tila pinasok na ng hangin ang kukute
ni Noynoy dahil sa pamamayagpag niya sa survey kaya
naman umaasta na siyang pangulo kahit di pa man nananalo.
Kung ako sa kanya, paparisan ko na lang ang ginagawa ni
Gibo na tahimik na kumakayod ng husto at nagbabanat ng
buto para makuha ang boto ng milyun-milyong botante. Kung
ako siya, makikipag-ugnayan ako sa mga lokal na opisyal,
mula sa gobernador, kinatawan, alkalde, konsehal hanggang
kagawad para manalo. Patitibayin ko rin ang suporta ng
partido at malalaking organisasyon at di aasa na lang sa
survey.
“Maaaring nasa panig n’ya ang survey, but Gibo has the
warm bodies,” giit ni Lakas-Kampi-CMD President “Maybe
Noynoy wants to win the presidency by acclamation,” dagdag
muli ni Manglapus.
Kung bubusisiin natin ang kanyang motibo sa pagkakalat
ng dayaan at malawakang kaguluhan ay upang panindigan
ang paniniwalang may “bandwagon effect” ang kanyang
pananatili sa pedestal ng surveys. Kung ating tatanungin
ang aming pilosopong barbero sa Laguna, tiyak na kanyang
sasabihing “Gustong i-blackmail ni Aquino ang mga botante’t
katunggali ng balatkayong banta ng kaguluhan at dayaan.”
Paliwanag ni Manglapus.
Palagay ko ang problema ni Noynoy ay masyado siyang
naniniwala sa kanyang operasyon, ang nakikita n’ya ay isang
media-driven election at hindi ang halalang base sa isyu at
malinaw na plataporma sa gobyerno. Surveys do not an elec-
tion make, if we may have the liberty to borrow the saying.
Kung ganyan din lang ang kanyang pananaw, huwag na
tayong mag-eleksyon at hayaan na lang ang pollsters ang
mamili ng magiging pangulo.
Tanong nga ng mga henyong gaya n’ya. Do we have a
rubber-stamp electorate? Do we have citizens voting with
herd mentality? Or is it a case of whatever Noynoy wants,
Noynoy gets?

VILLAR: SURVEYS
CAN BE WRONG
CANDIDATES, particularly for the presi-
dential post, should “hold their horses” and
stop short of declaring themselves as sure-
fire winner based solely on survey results.
Since 1992, surveys covering presidential
elections in the country have been off the mark.
And if the trend holds true, self-styled “win-
ners” may be in for a rude awakening and fall
flat on their faces once counting of votes is over.
Results of surveys since the 1992 polls, show
that the frontrunners in the surveys do not come
out as winners in the polls. This trend was
particularly evident in 1992, 1998, and 2004.
In the 1992 national elections, former Am-
bassador Eduardo Cojuangco, Jr. was the lead-
ing candidate two days before elections. He
was trailed by former Speaker Ramon Mitra,
Jr., Miriam Defensor-Santiago, and the even-
tual winner, former President Fidel V. Ramos.
It can be recalled that during that time, pun-
dits considered Cojuangco the hands-down
winner, especially after he got the endorsement
of the bloc-voting Iglesia ni Cristo (INC).
In 1998, a presidential survey before the
elections, had former Speaker Jose de Venecia
in the lead and former President Joseph
Estrada on the second spot followed former
Senator Alfredo Lim and Sen. Juan Ponce
Enrile. Estrada emerged as the winner.
Meanwhile in 2004, actor Fernando Poe,
Jr. was seen as the runaway winner after sur-
veys, particularly by the Social Weather Sta-
tions (SWS), showed him as the most popu-
lar choice.
The SWS is headed by Poe’s cousin, Mahar
Mangahas.
Poe was edged out by Gloria Macapagal
Arroyo in the controversial elections after
losing by 1.5 million votes in Metro Manila
and by a landslide in Cebu.
Surveys may be good indicators of public
opinion and perception, but they do not dic-
tate the outcome of elections.
Pulse Asia President Ronald Holmes him-
self admitted that a survey is no assurance
of the outcome of the presidential elections.
He said that in previous elections, there had
been a big difference between their results
and the actual tally of votes.
Other factors come into play during elec-
tions, much of the battle is won on the ground
and Nacionalista Party standard-bearer Sen.
Manny Villar has the upper hand in the
ground war and when it comes to the deliv-
ery of actual votes.
NP has built the most solid of alliances
and has cornered overwhelming support all
over the country. The party managed to field
candidates in almost all elective positions
in the local level in the entire nation.

PCG joins H.O.P.E.

THE Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has
alerted anew all its operating units na-
tionwide in support of the government’s
effort to hold a successful first automated
election on May 10, 2010.
Admiral Wilfredo Tamayo, PCG com-
mandant, said he ordered all District Com-
manders to heighten vigilance and pre-
paredness, and to coordinate with Com-
mission on Elections officials, Philippine
National Police and Armed Force of the
Philippines personnel in all election ac-
tivities within their respective area of re-
sponsibility as the election day gets nearer.
He added that a PCG contingent joined
the launching of Task Force Honest, Orderly
and Peaceful Elections (HOPE) with PNP,
AFP and Comelec personnel in La Union.
The Task Force will jointly oversee the con-
duct of election in La Union. Angelie Escandor
ALS enrollees to increase in 2010 – DepEd
AS the Department of Education
(DepEd) continues its intensified
drive in bringing education to learn-
ers outside the formal system, it ex-
pects the enrollees on Alternative
Learning System (ALS) to increase to
390,000 in 2010.
Education Secretary Mona Valisno
said ALS is more relaxed system
where lessons are taught outside class-
rooms and learning sites can be in a
barangay hall, a church courtyard,
under the shade of tree or any other
areas where learning can take place.
She also said it is a non-traditional
learning delivery to out-of-school
children, youth and adults who may
either be indigenous people, rebel-
returnees, those living in highly in-
accessible areas, persons with disabil-
ity, jobless adults, senior citizen, drop-
outs and others not served by formal
education.
According to Valisno, the learning
delivery can be through face-to-face
interaction, radio-based and com-
puter-based instruction and indepen-
dent learning facilitated by DepEd’s
mobile teachers, District ALS coordi-
nators (DALSCs), facilitators and in-
structional managers.
She stressed that the steady increase
in enrolment can be attributed to the
relevant curriculum which is able to
effectively deliver education direct to
the learners by mobile teachers.
“Let us also not forget our heroic
mobile teachers and DALSCs who
practically scour the mountains and
seas to reach out to learners and bring
education right to their doorstep,”
Valisno added. Marco Lorenzana

Bolet rating remains unscathed
by black propaganda
DESCRIBING the rating of his
rival to be in a “tailspin,” a Lib-
eral Party congressional bet of
Quezon City’s third district said
that his opponents’ black propa-
ganda has backfired as evidenced
by his increasing lead in the pri-
vately commissioned survey of
the city government and other
reputable survey firms.
In the city commissioned sur-
vey, LP congressional bet Jorge
“Bolet’’ Banal Jr. said that he is
with a rating of 37.8 percent with
incumbent representative Matias
Defensor trailing behind with 28
percent.
He noted that he is still lead-
ing in the third district’s congres-
sional race even in the latest sur-

company’s Pulse Asia and So-

Melo said the primary reason
why the areas have been placed
under their control is because of
the presence of election-related
violence in those areas.
In Abra province, he said elec-

machines would be stolen so they

“DOugh YOUR PART”
THE streets are filled with
campaign posters and commer-
cials of candidates have been in
constant. Since the national cam-
paign period started, the limelight
has been on who to vote come
May 10. But what about how to
actually vote?
For the first time in the coun-
try, an automated voting system
will be used by registered voters
for the upcoming elections. A
mock election conducted by
COMELEC showed that some
voters did not know where and
how to cast their ballots. Efforts
from various sectors like on-air
commercials are being made to
be able to reach out to the voters
in introducing it—and Krispy
Kreme is one of them.
The well-loved family brand
is out to their own campaign
called “Vote 2010: Dough Your
Part” and in doing so have de-
vised their own way to help
spread awareness. They have
created a mock ballot wherein
voters will choose their winning
doughnut and coffee. “We
wanted to make it a fun learning
experience for the voters”, Mark
Gamboa, Marketing Manager of
Krispy Kreme said. “This will
help them prepare for the real,
automated voting system.” He

S H O OT
By Nap Gutierrez
Watch out for Andretti
Stevens at NCAA 2010
ISA sa mga aabangan sa darating na
NCAA ay ang sophomore ng Mapua Car-
dinals na si Andretti Stevens.
Nasa ikalawang taon na si Andretti at
inaasahang mas magpapakita siya
ngayong season.
Si Andretti ay nanggaling sa San Beda
Alabang nung high school at na-recuit
sa Cardinals last year.
Sa kanyang rookie year ay nagpakitang
gilas agad itong si Stevens dahil sa
magandang performance niya sa defense.
Ngayong darating na season, mas
kakailanganin ni Coach Chito Victolero
ang defensive prowess ni Andretti dahil
sa matitindi rin nilang kalaban mula sa
ibang schools.
***
Si Atty. Charlie Chua ay isa sa mga
sumusuporta sa San Sebastian Stags
katuwang ni Mayor Dennis Pineda.
Mahal ni Charlie ang sports at ang
basketball dahil noon pa man, mahilig
na silang tumulong sa mga basketball
players.
Pati sa Excelroof na naging champion
sa PBL ay involved din itong si Charlie.
