  • hopeless_race : Sana itreat naman po ng media ang hacienda luisita at mendiola massacre na parang MAGUINADANAO MASSACRE.

This is very rampant here in Marikina. Thanks and more power on your noble endeavors. We need people like you to have make our country great again.

‘I’m Sorry’ audio file

Posted by: Yvonne Chua | June 29, 2005 at 4:31 pm
Filed under: Gloriagate, In the News

PCIJ has received requests to post the audio file of President Arroyo’s June 27 announcement in which she apologized for a “lapse in judgement” for phoning a Comelec commissioner after the May 10, 2004 elections. We’ve uploaded the file here.



14 people have left comments

she said sorry…. it was too late and its also long overdue.. its been nearly 3 weeks since that issue broke out… keeping quiet for 3 weeks constitutes lying already.. when she admits it was her voice on that audio tapes she makes the situation even worse and now she gives the filipinos the more valid reason to perform an ousting rally.. given the fact that she did not intervene with the outcome of the results of the election, common sense ika nga she’s not playing fair..kung pwede palang dumiretso sa commissioner para mag tanong sana ginawa rin nina fpj, lacson and roco……para everybody happy!

its possible that the sorry file is also spliced… considering nice words like im sorry to an arrogant face not meaning it.

pirated din yun!. he he he

also… kaya naman nila gumawa ng sariling version ng “hello gary”,

kaya nila mag pa vote pad…

possible din na spliced or padded yung media file ni gma during “im sorry”

kaasar ano?

wala kang magawa kundi tumanga sa ere at maghintay ng sagot mula sa langit….kelan ba darating ang kinabukasang hinihintay mo? mapapatalsik mo ba ang duwendeng itim sa malacanang?….hindi dumarating ang kasagutan dahil sa mas malakas ang timbre ng duwende sa kalabang si ‘taning [siyempre #1 admirer siya ngayon ng duwende]…

nagngingit ka at para bang gusto mong mag-untog ng ulo ng isa sa mga aswang na pulis na nagpipigil sa karapatang mong iparamdam sa duwende sa malacanang ang nalalaman ng puso mo…alam mo na “no permit-no rally” ang style nila ngayon ….. pero tiim kamao mo pa ring nilalandas ang avenida at sumisigaw ka na lang para mapaalala sa kapwa mo tao ang tunay na nangyari at ang mga bagay na ninanais mo…

heto pa ang ilang kaakibat na mga tikbalang ng duwende at nagsasabi na “i-impeach natin ang kosa natin sabay block ng movement…bukod pa hindi na makakapagpasa ng impeachment ang oposisyon”… para kang lalong napatanga sa kawalan ng moralidad ng mga taong akala mo’y tutulungan ka sa puntong ito na me duwendeng nagpapangap na presidente…..

meron pang isang salamangkero na nagpapangap na tagapagpalaganap ng hustisya ang hanggang ngayon eh nananakot na ikukulong ka sa hawlang ipinagawa niya dahil may-ari ka ng sikat na tugtugin ngayon ang “hello garci”…. nakakatakot ano baka makindatan ka minsan eh magising ka na lang na para kang nilagay sa garapon….alam mo namang ang salamangkero’y walang kamuwangan sa tamang pagpalaganap ng batas at ang nai-isip lang eh ang pagtatakip sa duwendeng itim na nagbibigay sa kanya ng kapangyarihan….

meron pang ilang aswang na nagsa-baboy na mangangalakal na umi-ire at umo-oink-oink ng pagkalakas-lakas “she’s already sorry, we have to accept it. she has shown courage. its time to get the investors in”… kitang-kita mo kung bakit tumaba at bumundat ang mga tarantadong ito na uma-apila na huwag mong maintindihan na gusto rin nilang lamunin ang kokonti at kakarampot mong kinikita sa araw-araw…..

meron pang mga kapre na pinamumunuan ng isang babaeng me tama sa utak na lumilitanya ng “she did nothing wrong.there’s no impeachable offense here”….nagiisip ka tuloy na sa laki ng mga kapreng ito eh paanong nagkaroon ng napakaliit na utak…. umilag ka ng matindi dahil baka madaganan ka….

sumasakit na ang ulo mo…dahil rindido ka na… ayaw nilang sabihin ang tutoo at talagang pinagsisikapang pilitin na hiluhin at lituhin ang natitirang senyal ng iyung sariling kaisipan….

tapos hindi maalis at laging bumubulagang pabigla sa iyung kamuwangan ang isang maliit na telon na biglang nagluwa ng mukha ng duwendeng itim na mukhang napanood mo sa “Lord of the Rings” at lalong umiigting ang sinabi niyang walang sinseridad na “i’m sorry”… habang unti-unti ka niyang nililinlang… may palabok pa at nilalagyan pa niya ng “at great sacrifice to our family’s happiness”….para kang kimukulam dahil alam mong ito’s puro kasinungalingan at para sa pamilya ng duwende’y ito’y bakasyon lang sa lupain ng mga puti kung saan itinatago niya ang kanyang mga ginto’t kayamanang kinamkam sa kakarampot na pagasa ng mga kababayan mong itinaya sa jueteng at sa kabang yaman ng lupain ng iyung lahi….

o, nasaan ang kinabukasan aking hinihintay? kelan ko ba mapapatalsik ang duwendeng itim na nang-agaw sa palasyo ng masa sa malacanang? - mga tanong na lalong magpapapanting ng tenga mo sa bawat araw na lumalaban ka… hinihiling mo minsan eh tamaan ng kidlat ang duwende…. huwag kang mag-alala… hindi ka naman nagi-isa sa layunin mo… at sa bawat araw na nagdadaan eh dumarami pa rin namang mga kalahi mo ang unti-unting nagigising sa katotohanang ipinipilit itago ng mga buktot na maligno sa likod ng kanilang mga ngiti…. huwag kang matakot….unti-unti namang lumalakas ang mga bulong… inot-inot na parang ihip ng hangin na unti -unting lumalaki at dumadagundong…andito kami… kasama ka… tayo’y nagkakaisa sa layunin…nagkasama para isigaw at gawan ng paraan para “PATALSIKIN ANG DUWENDENG ITIM MULA SA PALASYO NG MASA - ANG MALACANANG!!!”

:p
… tawa ka naman…. kelangan nating tumawa at ngumiti sa mga panahong ito na ubod ng dilim…

As GMA made her intention (thru her sorry speech) that she will not resign, the only alternative for us to purge her from power is thru militant actions or a revolution. Let us all support the move to oust GMA from Malaca?ang, even if it means joining street rallies or storming the palace (as they did with Erap). Huwag po tayong matakot na babagsak ang ekonomiya at ang piso kapag bumagsak si Gloria.

Tulad ng election results, may kakayahan din po ang administrasyon na kontrolin ang halaga ng piso at ang halaga ng mga palitan sa Stock Exchange. Kung bababa po ang mga ‘yan sa mga susunod na araw, artipisyal lamang ‘yan at sinadya para paboran ang kasalukuyang gobyerno. ‘yan ay para palabasin na makakasama sa ating lahat kung paaalisin natin si Gloria. Whether GMA really won or lost in the last election is not important. The fact that she cheated invalidated her votes. Ang mga kilos-protesta at mga panawagan na bumaba kay Gloria ay makakasama lang sa atin ng ilang araw, kumpara sa maraming taon ng pagsisisi kung hahayaan natin na magpatuloy si Gloria.

Alamin po natin ang mga produktong gawa at negosyong pag-aari nina Donald Dee at iba pang balahurang negosyante na siguradong may ilegal na pakinabang kay GMA na dahilan ng kanilang pagsuporta kay pandak. Sama-sama po nating i-boycott ang kanilang mga produkto at tangkilikin natin ang amg mga negosyo at produkto ng kanilang mga ka-kompetensya.

Sa mga susunod na araw ay bahagyang sasakalin ng gobyerno ang ekonomiya para ipamalas na makakasama sa bansa ang anumang kilos protesta para sa pag-resign ni GMA. Magtiis po tayo at maging matatag sa mga susunod na araw. Sama-sama po nating patalsikin ang mandaraya. Huwag po kayong bibitaw.

Why didn’t she categorically admit that she spoke a specific commissioner? Because she might have spoken to all the commissioners to protect her votes. She did speak with one, so it’s only logical for to have spoken to the others. Hindi nga lang na wire tapped.

Saying sorry is never too late. As Christians, it is encumbent upon us to respond in a positive manner to the one offering an apology. BUT we do not stop there. While we welcome an apology we also expect some form of retribution for the wrong things that have been done.

An apology is never too late if one is sincere and determine to cleanse oneself of evil deeds. The problem with Pres. Arroyo’s apology was that it was crafted so legally sound that it comes as insincere and brutally dishonest.

[...] Speaking four days after President Arroyo’s apology, the church leader says forgiveness "should not block the search for truth." He ends with a reminder for people to remain calm, and not to give in to despair.  The Unity We Need [...]

I firmly believe that GMA is not the legitimate president of the Republic. The tapes and her admission simply confirmed doubts before, during and after the elections. Let me cite some events that will prove my point.
1. Our 2004 national budget wasn’t approved by the legislative (controlled by GMA) so that she can manipulate the funds.
2. Can you still see the sidewalk worker wearing blue shirts on which the following phrase were printed “Programang pangkalsada ni Pangulo GMA” or a statement to that effect. THey were so visible before the election. Where are they now? Was it really a program to clean up our roads?
3. The question on the citizenship of FPJ. A futile attempt to thwart FPJ’s candidacy.
4. The televised canvassing of votes, preventing any move that may lead to the scrutiny of SOVs, etc.

All these can prove that GMA stole not only our money, but also the presidency. I hope that we Filipinos will be enlightened and realize that fact. Let us be true to ourselves. If we keep on defending GMA, we are only fooling ourselves. Think of our future. The evils in the past administration (martial law, corruption, jueteng, etc) combined is in GMA’s administration. Enough of that! Tama na! Sobra na! Palitan na!!!
