NGS,

Those who are lovers of the constitution will treat this provision as ideal for the Filipino people. But this constitutional provision was not respected by those who believed that they are above the law. I'll name a few of these people. They are Gloria Arroyo, the late Jaime Cardinal Sin, the late Cory Aquino, Fr. Joaquin Bernas, the media, the academe, Hilario Davide Jr. and his associates in the SC. They thwarted the will of the people. Erap did not finish his  6 yearsterm provided for in the constitution because his power was grabbed by people who are greedy for power.

Since he did not finish his 6 years term therefore he is still eligible to run.

Glace,

It is not only Erap who said these words that "legalizing jueteng helps to address poverty in our country". It was spoken also by Ex-pres. Fidel Ramos. But Ramos's mistake was he did not legalize jueteng instead gave Manuel Morato of PCSO a free hand to introduce another number game called "lotto" to combat jueteng believing that the poor will welcome this new number game as an alternative to jueteng and those gambling lords will just fade away. Ramos was wrong! Morato's lotto did not reach to the expectation of the poor. The poor are still there patronizing jueteng... and the gambling lords? They are bolder than ever in their operation of the illegal games. Today it's not only town mayors and police chiefs who are recepients of grease money from gambling lords but barangay leaders are already included in their list and there are efforts to bribe parish priests to silence them during the Sunday's mass.

A legalized gambling (jueteng or lotto) cannot eradicate an operation of illegal gambling in the Philippines. Why? Illegal gambling is more profitable. And operators and financiers know our government which plans to legalize their operations is only after of its money, not service. And that is the case; so, there's no way it  can help address the more serious issue on poverty in our country, let alone solve it. How can legalized jueteng help...when it can't even HELP eliminate illegal gambling, and you expect its going to work against the chronic poverty in our country? Legalizing one would only solve the illegality of it, but not the purpose to which it is intended, as claimed by honey-lipped politicians. Ramos and Moratos' failure should have taught hard lesson to the next proponents of legalizing gambling like jueteng. Illegal operators of gambling doesn't go away. You legalize one, and you see more illegal ones popping up. It's an endless cycle which legalized gambling cannot break. This is a fact which Bohol Police Director SSupt. Edgardo Ingking shared, with his wisdom and experience, regarding the plan to introduce STL in Bohol. He said "I don't honestly believe STL will help eliminate the existing illegal numbers game such as 'swertres', instead this will only worsen illegal gambling. Illegal gambling financiers and operators would only exploit the legalized STL to device an illegal version." So does legalizing jueteng help to address poverty in OUR COUNTRY?  Absolutely NO!

Anybody other than Erap or Ramos saying that "legalizing jueteng helps to address the problem of poverty in our country is correct". In my opinion Ramos or Erap are only incidental people and please bear in mind what they mean by their words; "it only helps to address and not the main solution of eradicating poverty in our country". Jueteng taxes alone, [granting jueteng is legal] cannot singlehandedly arrest the problem of poverty but I believe there are other solutions whether it be economic or political.

Reply:

The correctness of this idea may be in everyone's mind, but it doesn't make legalized gambling like jueteng the RIGHT solution to help eradicate OUR poverty. The truth is they want to legalize it because they have no balls to eliminate it. They have no balls because they can't live without it. It's all about Money. But if we only have  better leadership in our polity to run our economy, our resources, forces and the pride of our hardworking people, there's absolutely no need to worry illegal gambling because the law and order in our police force would be enough to tackle the problem. Sadly, we don't have the dreamed leadership and the police are drained of credibility and power.

To legalize gambling, which in this country has been proven to be impotent to eliminate illegal gambling and its inherent negative impact to the poor, in order help solve poverty is like allowing yourself to be checked by a physician, eventhough you know you need a pyschiatrist. You're trying to help eliminate a target (poverty), yet you're using a toy gun (legal jueteng). You said, " i believe there are other solutions whether it be economic or political"; yes, indeed, there are, and that's what we need, among other things, like strengthening the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the gov/t; the elimination of culture of corruption; sincere governance, etc. But absolutely NOT to legalize gambling like jueteng. Not here. Not Now.


Let us admit this... gambling is unpreventable and this is the reason why in a not so distant past some countries solved the problem of gambling by legalizing them. Take the state of Nevada for instance... what is this land before? It's a desert... but when the government legalized gambling to help build schools and gave jobs to the poor the state improved its economy. The Mafia came out of the open and made compensation to their workers legal and reasonable. Macau near Hongkong... before it was only a fishing village and most of their people look for good jobs outside especially in the Philippines operating restaurant. In Macau most of their revenues come from the casinos. The church and casino complex are standing side by side and there are no conflict with the two. In Australia there are casinos which have imprimatur from the Catholic heirarchy of Australia that is why the club is called Catholic Club. Once you enter the lobby of this club you can see the pictures of the cardinal and the bishop of Sydney.

You have to realize this is no NEVADA. Realize also they legalized gambling in 1931 not to eliminate poverty. Nevada State, while the rest of USA were pummelled by the hardships of the Great Depression, was virtually  insulated from it because jobs  and money were prevalent because of Union Pacific Railroad development and construction of Hoover Dam 34 miles away in Black Canyon on the Colorado River. Later on, Las Vegas with an already prodigious potential for business, entertainment and marketing investments would be transformed into what it is today. Not only that, the Nevada state has had the effeciency to collect tax revenues second to none, that even mobsters couldn't run away from paying their obligations. And it used the money for their public interest. Do we have that effeciency  here TODAY? NONE!!! Your BIR, the tax collector, is on the top five list of the most corrupt agancies in the government. Behind DPWH, PNP and DA. There you have it--the arms of our government (PNP and BIR) which are supposed to chase down illegal activities of gambling are not fit even just to wear their nametags. And now you want us to trust our poor people's hope to that idea that legalizing jueteng will help their impoverished condition? From the mouth of unscropulous politicians like Erap Estrada? Absolutely no way. How you wish that the magic wand of legal gambling like jueteng could turn everything into gold like NEVADA; sorry, because it will just appropriately turn us into WAYNADA instead (no pun intended).

The same case can be construed about Casino in Macau and the fabled Catholic Club in Austalia. No comparison. We are not at par with those countries in this area. It is not a simple case that because it works in their system, it will work in ours too. Far from it, considering the status quo of our politics and rampant corruption. I can't imagine, if the lottery system in Canada was even rigged with fraud, as recently discovered, what would it be like in our present system? Yet, all these people are singing is to legalize jueteng to help the poor in a system rigged with rich corrupt officials. Legalization of gambling like jueteng would just be another puddle for corruption. Look who will greatly benefit from it? Not the poor, definitely.


If you think that 80% of the Filipinos are occupying the lowest part of the poverty line or pyramid as you say... it is not because of gambling. But because of the poor economy of our country. The poor are being push more to the ground because their vulnerability is being exploited by the illegal gambling lords... but once illegal gambling are eradicated I believe it will help the level playing field of the poor. If it will happen the once illegal gambling lords will become legal and we can see them in the open and they will pay their taxes and coruption will be minimized. When jueteng is legalized it is favorable to the poor who directly engaged in the illegal gambling games because their jobs as cabo, runnners, or collectors will be legalized also and they will have hope for their children in the future.         

Reply:

Yes, the chronic poverty of our country is not because of gambling. But it is casued by the poor and flawed management of our economy. Poor economy is the outcome of it. We make ourselves poor by greed, self-interest and lacking in disiciple with our national leaders in the front. We are used to be second behind Japan in terms of economy. Now, we are left in the dust from other Asian countries jumping off their economies to quantum leaps.

Legalized jueteng proponents need reality check. Jueteng gets its revenue mostly from the poor section of our society, for which legalized jueteng is allegedly, hopefully and Godwillingly intended to help. If legalization happens, this is going to be the scenario in our country's legal jueteng: the poor Juan helps Jueteng gets the money to help the poor--who happens to be Juan himself.  Nonsense. Where and how could a blind lead another blind; poor to another poor? It's a path to nowhere future. The poor continues to be squeezed down to the last drop; and the crocs so alive and well.

Glacier said;

"On the other hand, we all are aware that illegal jueteng would only favor more to the financers and their protectors (police, politicians and the military). aside from that, its evil, both necessary and unnecessary, is just sending more poor people to the bottom of indigence and destitution. i can't argue with that. I trust you know better than i do."

Answer:

This is the reason why I am arguing to legalize jueteng. Just take away Erap from your mind so that you can accept that legalizing jueteng is one way to address the poverty problem. Daghan dinhi sa TB nga gihimong kinaingnan si Erap. Busa tangtanga sa si Erap sa inyong huna-huna. Hehehe....

Reply:

Illegal jueteng is bad; legal jueteng is no better. That's my point.

Erap is a fixture of man wanting popularity because he thinks he is right. Like you. So he can't be removed, unless this country is nil of this type of people. I don't know how many people be left in this country if we do the process of elimination; but for sure you will be among the first. hahahaha.

secondly, we can't take away Erap, because he "started" this thread. And he is running for president. And he has an ardent follower here in TB, and you would be so alone if we stop thinking about him, wouldn't you? hahaha

Right. I'm aghast at how people reveal information about themselves gratuitously. Some, of course, have nothing to lose but their sense of unimportance. But even then, it should be borne in mind that an identity--however piddling--can be made an instrument for nefarious activities.

‘Wedding of the Year’ for Mar and Korina
By MA. GLAIZA LEE
October 27, 2009, 5:54pm

They are now, officially, no longer the most eligible bachelor and bachelorette in the country.

Senator Manuel “Mar” Roxas and broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez said “I do” to each other at the Sto. Domingo Church in Quezon City Tuesday afternoon to the cheers of select guests inside the church and the public who closely followed their romance.

The exchange of vows was made with a Filipiniana-inspired background that was meticulously set up by the groom’s cousin, Margarita Fores. Sto. Domingo was literally abloom with sampaguita and rosal, Korina’s favorite flowers, for what is touted to be the country’s Wedding of the Year. Six bishops officiated in the wedding. Fr. Tito Caluag, S.J., delivered the homily.

The radiant bride walked down Sto. Domingo Church’s aisle (purportedly one of the longest aisles in the country) in an ecru Filipiniana dress by Pepito Albert and shoes by Cesar Gaupo to the beautiful  rendition of Vehnee Saturno’s “Kahapon, Bukas, Ngayon” by the Philippine Madrigal Singers with the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra.

The song was inspired by the romantic response of Sanchez to Roxas’ repeat “performance” when the couple became guests in the television noontime show Wowwowee.

Sanchez’s brothers G, Milano, and Mickey gave the bride away to the groom who wore a Randy Ortiz Barong. The senator waited patiently at the altar with the Best Man, his son Paolo.

All the bridesmaids, including Korina’s closest friend Dang Cecilio-Palanca who was Maid of Honor, were dressed in Patrice Ramos-Diaz creations while the male entourage was all in Barong Tagalog by Ortiz.

Baby James Yap, son of actress Kris Aquino and cager James Yap, was the Ring Bearer, while Miguel Sanchez, son of Dyan Castillejos, was the Bible Bearer. Korina’s niece, Shaila, was one of the flower girls.

Broadcaster Ted Failon did the First Reading, followed by Elay Antonino for the Second Reading. Margarita Fores, the groom’s first cousin, delivered the Prayers of the Faithful.

The principal sponsors were Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, Chief Justice Reynato Puno, former Senate President Jovito Salonga, ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio Lopez III, George Araneta, Red Cross’ Rosa Rosal, Probe’s Che Che Lazaro, Ruby Roxas, Baby Fores, and Helen Costales.

The wedding was attended by the couple’s closest friends and families as well as political and showbiz bigwigs.

Both public personalities, Roxas and Sanchez opened their wedding to the public with seats reserved within the church on a first-come, first-served basis. There were also giant TV screens outside the church for those who didn’t make it inside the church.

There was none of the pomp and pageantry usually associated with such high-profile weddings. The couple decided to forego their grand reception which was originally planned to cater to 10,000 people at the Araneta Coliseum.

Instead, the couple had a meet and greet with their visitors who were treated to refreshments and sandwiches.

The couple donated the money intended for their wedding reception to the victims of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. An estimated P2.2 million was apportioned to the Caritas Manila, the Philippine National Red Cross, ABS-CBN’s Sagip Kapamilya, and GMA 7’s Kapuso Foundation.

The wedding was all the more memorable for its simplicity. An intimate dinner followed at the Bahay na Puti, the Aranetas’ ancestral home in Cubao, Quezon City with just the wedding entourage, immediate family members, and closest friends of the bride and groom, numbering around 200, in attendance.

The “white-and-wood” themed reception featured wooden candelabras carved by artisans from Pampanga and bedecked with rosal and sampaguita flowers for the table centerpiece, glass vases, candles, Venetian mirrors, and Araneta-Roxas heirloom pieces like crystal and silver.

Traditional Filipino food such as caldereta, kare-kare, and lechon, all prepared by Cibo which is family-owned, was served at the wedding banquet. Guests went home with Venetian mirrors and jewelry boxes all crafted in Pampanga as wedding souvenirs.

Agassi admits using crystal meth

October 28, 2009, 2:54pm

LONDON, October 28, 2009 (AFP) - Tennis great Andre Agassi has admitted he tested positive for hard drugs during his career and lied to sporting authorities to escape a ban, reports said Wednesday.

Agassi, one of the world's greatest tennis players with eight Grand Slam titles, reveals in his autobiography to testing positive for the highly addictive drug crystal methamphetamine.

The champion, now 39, also says that he has always secretly hated playing tennis and lived in fear of his bad-tempered and violent father.

In the book, serialised in London-based The Times newspaper, Agassi reveals how he took crystal meth in 1997 when his form was falling and he was having doubts about his impending marriage to US actress Brooke Shields.

He duped the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) into believing he had taken the drug -- possession of which carries a maximum five-year jail sentence in the United States -- by accident, according to the newspaper's website.

The repercussions for Agassi's career could have been disastrous if the positive test was made public at the time.

In the book, Agassi recounts sitting at home with his assistant, referred to only as Slim, and being introduced to the drug.

"Slim dumps a small pile of powder on the coffee table. He cuts it, snorts it. He cuts it again. I snort some. I ease back on the couch and consider the Rubicon I’ve just crossed," he said.

"There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness. Then comes a tidal wave of euphoria that sweeps away every negative thought in my head. I’ve never felt so alive, so hopeful - and I’ve never felt such energy.

"I’m seized by a desperate desire to clean. I go tearing around my house, cleaning it from top to bottom. I dust the furniture. I scour the tub. I make the beds."

That same year he received a phone call from a doctor working for the ATP informing him that he had failed a drugs test - for which he could face a three-month suspension for using recreational drugs.

"My name, my career, everything is now on the line. Whatever I’ve achieved, whatever I’ve worked for, might soon mean nothing. Days later I sit in a hard-backed chair, a legal pad in my lap, and write a letter to the ATP.

"It’s filled with lies interwoven with bits of truth.

"I say Slim, whom I’ve since fired, is a known drug user, and that he often spikes his sodas with meth - which is true. Then I come to the central lie of the letter.

I say that recently I drank accidentally from one of Slim’s spiked sodas, unwittingly ingesting his drugs. I ask for understanding and leniency and hastily sign it:

Sincerely.

"I feel ashamed, of course. I promise myself that this lie is the end of it." The ATP reviewed the case -- and threw it out, the newspaper cites the book as saying.

In 1997, Agassi pulled out of the French Open and slumped down the world rankings in a loss of form.

But he resurrected his career in 1998, making the biggest one-year leap in history into the top 10 before going on to win the French Open the next season. He finished at number one in 1999 after taking the US Open.

One of the pillars of the game, Agassi is currently married to former number one women's tennis player Steffi Graf.  (MB)

Roach dangles cash for a Pacquiao fall

By NICK GIONGCO
October 27, 2009, 5:36pm

The wad of $100 inside Freddie Roach’s pocket â€" amounting to $1,000 all in all â€" has remained unclaimed.

Although the top trainer doesn’t wish to see Manny Pacquiao suffer a knockdown in his remaining days of sparring at the Wild Card in Hollywood, Roach is dangling cool cash so the Filipino’s sparmates will go the extra mile in their respective sessions with the pound-for-pound king.

“It’s still with me and I am telling the new sparring partners that they will be rewarded with $1,000 if they score a knockdown over Manny in sparring,” said Roach, who will preside over Pacquiao’s first sparring at the Wild Card on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila).

Unbeaten super-welterweight Shawn Porter will be called in to bang bodies anew but he’ll have new company in super-feather Raymundo Beltran and welter Raymond Serrano, who have replaced Urbano Antillon and Jose Luis Castillo.

Roach said Tuesday’s sparring will be for 10 rounds, while Thursday’s will go 11 and Saturday 12 rounds, the most number for Pacquiao.

Could his big ego cost Manny Pacquiao this fight?
October 27, 5:27 PM
by Matt Stolow

We all saw it. On 24/7 Manny's eyeballs rolled up and his eye brows rose high as trainer Freddie Roach interrupted to give the weather report as he spoke to Senator Manny Villar.

According to many, Villar, a possible presidential candidate, is now the most hated person in Pacland and philboxing.com since, well Michael Koncz.

Could Manny's new ego actually betray him against Miguel Cotto on November 14? Could it cost him the fight?

Let's look at this rationally.

While anything is possible, I don't think so. While his ego is on the rise, Manny also has taken on a lot more responsibility to soak up that ego.

Manny doesn't just have fanatical fans, he's now seems to carry a nation on his back. While I hear from detractors of the cause, I believe they are only jealous in fact.

A sudden growth in wealth and international celebrity certainly brings with it a growth of ego, and new fast lane friends. More friends telling you how great you are.

I have noticed the new found patience of both Roach and promoter Bob Arum toward Manny.

Could anybody be more of an expert on how to handle a growing ego than Arum? He has handled Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, even Evil Knievel to name a few.

I believe Manny, more than any previous Arum - promoted celebrity fighter realizes Arum has promoted the other guy since he was a four - round fighter and has to be a politician.

I believe this fight is well in hand. The legendary four-hour training sessions have not been compromised. Manny and Freddy apparently have been studying Cotto on tape more than any other opponent.

Even during a typhoon, Manny didn't miss one one workout. He improvised; he learned how to swim.

If ever a time to roll over in a king-sized luxury hotel bed in his silk pajamas and say "Tomorrow," that would have been the time.

Manny won't be able to simply e-mail a victory over Cotto in. But he can't fight this fight in those silk pajamas either.

If Cotto makes this a two-way fight, and causes Manny to fight I believe Manny is well-prepared to win.

I don't believe Cotto has the skills to keep Manny off of him anymore. Past fights with Antonio Margarito and Joshua Clottey have taken their toll. All he has left in my opinion for six rounds is heart. But it's a proud champion's heart.

Maybe only a handful of welterweights could beat Cotto in the state he is in. But Pacquiao is one of them.

Yes, it's better to win a series of skirmishes first rather than achieve a resounding victory at the start of hostilities.

that would be a total disaster. a premature detonation.

wah ka balo ani, bay. maayo kay imo gisumpayan. kasagaran madungog nako kay reaction sa pangutanang way ikatubag. naa pa gani tubag nga "ambut sa langit" mora ni siya ug tubag sa babaing way seguro og sugton ba ang nangulitawo. thanks

i mean, kung ang mosulti ani ba, isulti na tanan taman sa word "ok-ok". which to me makes it even more "unknown", as in ambot jud.

Importante pud tingali ang positioning and maneuvering of troops, Bay Glace. In the end, of course, precision of shots and caliber of weapons decide the outcome of battle.

ahahahaha. well, yes, some positions are a must for more explosive result. other positions are just for variation of the offensive. in my experience, the simpler the battle plan, the more chances of success and saved ammunitions  for another round of bloodshed. hahaha.

I hope I can be understood by my opinion favoring Erap. I am aware defending Erap is not the popular thing to do but I would rather be right than to be popular... so please bear with me and let not your heart be troubled.

Erap's opinion saying that; "jueteng should be legalized to address poverty in our country" is correct. His line of thinking did not waver and still as resolute as he was the president before. Legalizing jueteng is right because jueteng as we look at it today is the exploitation of the poor Filipinos by illegal gambling lords in our country. Gambling lords do not pay taxes to the government and those working for them as collectors are not paid a regular income and no insurance whatsoever. Jueteng is a poor's man gambling game where you can bet 25 cents to 5 pesos and the collector will come directly to every house in the barangay. If you compare that to the lotto of Morato with a minimum bet of 10 pesos bettors in the barrio don't have that amount everyday and it needs for them to go to the town center to bet in the electronic machine. A barrio folk don't have even money to pay for a tricyle fare... how much more betting on the lotto.

WN

as an opinion, your favoring of Erap's legalizing of jueteng is quite understandable. contrary to what you believe, however, in my opinion, your defending Erap's whim doesn't make you Right nor Unpopular. It may be heroic on your part to stand by the Actor; it is just one step short of being absurd for nothing in Jueteng--whether it is legal or illegal-- could address the chronic poverty of many Filipinos.

If to legalize gambling is to address poverty, then we would not have talked this problem again after lottery and bunch of other gamblings were warmly welcomed by our law makers. Trusting that jueteng taxes would uplift our government's treasury, I doubt its beneficence to the poor. Do you know where most of PAGCORS' profits go? Honestly, none of us know because the government--like Erap--don't want us to know. And i don't want to know either; sometimes being ignorant about it feels much better. But the whole nation had seen the historic Erap's trial has also something to do with that legalized gambling--and all its "glory"--which you imply as worth defending.

Almost 80 % of the people of this country occupy the lowest part of the pyramid--below poverty line. What does it mean to legal jueteng? Tell me. More jobs? or more kickbacks and more missing taxes? The problem is when the government legalizes a gambling activity in this country, it believes it's doing favor to the people. Actually, it is the opposite. And that's a shame.

On the other hand, we all are aware that illegal jueteng would only favor more to the financers and their protectors (police, politicians and the military). aside from that, its evil, both necessary and unnecessary, is just sending more poor people to the bottom of indigence and destitution. i can't argue with that. I trust you know better than i do.

Why legal jueteng of Erap is hardly acceptable to me? If many feel it's not going to work even at the behest of a good politician, more so, when it comes from the mouth of Joseph Estrada.  Basing upon his credibility and political record during his presidency, i doubt if he has any greater good to offer than legalizing jueteng, which to me is merely his political maneuvering, knowing that gambling is deeply ensconced in the Filipino psyche. Many filipinos canonized him a 'saint' for saying that. Including you.

The case of Chavit is a blessing in disguise. It has revealed this president's disservice to this country, to which he once passionately promised, "walang kama-kamag-anak, walang kumare, walang kumpadre." It's not a issue whether Chavit was seeking for vindication or absolution for his gambling problem after exposing Erap; it was time just  riped for the picking for all to realize something not morally right happening in the highest office of the country. After all, it's the case of good prevailing over evil.


peace
