Mga Pinoys Please help us Educate Filipino Voters! Pass it on please!
Ablang
National and local elections this May will continue to occupy most
Filipinos, including those living and working abroad. The importance
of the results, in terms of reversing or reducing graft and corruption
in government, cannot be overemphasized. FILGLOBAL, via the internet,
has deemed it a duty to remind voters back home to choose candidates
wisely, and right or wrong, boldly recommends 12 senatorial
candidates.
Many, specially the early OFWs, reminisce those bygone days when the
Philippines was second to Japan and choose only to sulk in disgust now
that economically and militarily, we are the Sick Nation of Asia,
perceived to be the most corrupt in the region. For an overseas
Filipino, to simply shrug this off goes against the grain of love of
country, patriotism and duty. Global Filipinos can do something! They
must not ignore the call to make a difference. Someday, many will
likely go home to retire.
Even from distant shores Global Pinoys can help make the Philippines a
better place. There is no better time to start than NOW!
Remitting $12-14 billion annually to family and relatives has not
really changed anything insofar as reducing graft and corruption in
government, or instilling discipline among the populace. If we care
economically, why can't we care in more fundamental ways beyond
curbing corruption, such as teaching relatives those courteous,
disciplined ways we learned abroad? Like it or not, the 10 million
overseas Filipinos ARE the new middle class. Historically, it bocomes
our obligation to push for positive changes. And remember, underneath
that brown skin, Filipino caring blood flows no matter what country or
citizenship we have adopted. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

Pakisuyo sa lahat: Paki-padala ito, hangang makarating sa botante ng
Pilipinas!!!
Mga kaba-bayan hindi pa po huli ang lahat, hanga't humihinga ay
meyroon pang pag-asa ang nag-hihikahos na inang bansa!! Salamat po!
PARA SA PINOY NG NAGMAMAHAL SA SARILING BAYAN!
SA LAHAT NG MGA PILIPINO (MGA OFW AT MGA PINOY DUAL
CITIZEN)
SAAN MAN KAYO NAROROON:
Halos 40 pociento ng Pilipino, o mahigit na 5 milliones na pamilia ng
mga kapus palad. Dito sa darating na eleksion, madami ang ma-aakit na
ibenta ang kanilang mga boto sa mga walang ka-alaman sa panga-ngasiwa
ng pamhalaan. Artista, matatandang politikong madumi ang adhikain.
HINDI NATING DAPAT PAYAGANG MANGYARI ULIT ITO!
ANG ATING BANSA AY MATAGAL NG NAG-HIHIRAP!
Dapat nating itaguyod ang ating kalahi upang kanilang malaman na ang
pag-bebenta ng boto ay mag-bibigay ng dalamhati sa kanilang sarili, sa
kanilang mga anak at mga apo. Ang kandidato na magnanakaw at walang
kaalaman ay maka-kaupo sa katungkulan mag-uli kung hindi tayo kikilos.
Ang hindi pagkilos upang mapigil ang mga sports celebrities, Actors,
Oportunista, Wannabes, non-patriots, Money and power hungry.
Nakita at naranasan na natin ang walang ka-kayanan ng mga mangmang sa
pamamahala, o ang hindi nila kayang malunasan ang problema ng bansa.
Sapagkat hindi nila alam ang pag-gawa ng batas, nag-abala o nag-ubos
sila ng oras sa pag-hahanap ng magagamit na panira sa kalaban sa kasa-
lukuyang gobierno, nag-aksaya ng perang uma-abot sa billiones na pinag-
hirapan at ibinayad sa buwes ng gobierno na galing sa lahat ng
nagtatrabaho. Ang katungkulan ng mga representante at mga senador ay
gumawa ng batas para sa ikabubuti ng inang bansa, ilagay ba naman ang
mga artista, mang-lalaro, magnanakaw at ang suwapang na opisiales ay
hindi pag-lilingkod sa buong bansa.
HINDI NATIN DAPAT MANATILI SA
DATING PROBLEMA NG BANSA!
Tayong mga tinatawag na "mordern heroes" o makabagong dakilang bayani,
ay gustong maki-bahagi sa paglutas ng pag-sasamantala sa ating
karapatang pumili ng ating pamunuan sa pamamagitan ng ating banal na
pag-boto. Tayo'y magka-isa upang isilang ang "FILIPINO GLOBAL ALLIANCE
FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE."
Gusto naming makita ang pag-babago, upang mahikayat natin ang ating
kababayan, ang ating mga kaibigan at mga kamag-anak dito sa Pilipinas
na sanay bumoto ng may katalinuhan, hindi dapat ipag-bili ang kanilang
mga boto, lalong-laluna para sa mangmang at mga hindi mapa-
pagkatiwalaang mga kandidato. Kung tatangapin ang kanilang lagay na
pera ay hindi dapat silang iboto ngunit bumoto ng mayroong magandang
katuwiran, iyong talagang nag-mamahal sa inang bansa, mga mapapag-
katiwalaan, mga ginang at maginoong mga kandidato, at hindi dahil sa
siya ay sikat.
Ito ang aming pangarap at pag-hanap ng kalunasan upang ma-abot ang mga
Pilipino sa ibat-ibang dako ng buong mundo, ang 10 milliones na
Pilipino sa mahigit na 100 na bansa sa san-daigdigan, sa isang OFW,
OCW, immigrante, marino, doble ang citizen upang madala ng ilaw ng
sulo at ang pag-papahayag ng laban sa mga mangmang at mga hindi ma-
pagkakatiwalaan o magnanakaw na kandidato. Kung ito ay magagampanan,
meyroon tayong mahigit kumulang na 30 hangang 40 milliones na boto
upang ilagak ang karapat-dapat ng kandidato.
DAPAT NATING GAWIN ITO:
Subalit tayo ay dapat ng kumilos ngayon habang meyroong panahon. Hindi
pa huli mga kaibigan tayo ay magtulungan upang makamtan nating ang
tunay na pagbabago sa pamahalaan Ipadala ito sa inyong mga kaibigan at
kamag-anak at sabihin sa kanila na muling ipadala ito sa kani-kanilang
kamag-anak at mga kaibigan. Ito ang umpisa ng katapusan ng mga
mangmang at hindi karapat dapat na mga kandidato na ma-aaring mapa-
luklok sa trono ng gobierno sapagkat sila ay sikat o popular para
mapag-samantalahan ang mga ma-hihirap at mabili ang kanilang mga boto.
Ito ang tagilid na parisukat ng tunay na demokratikong Pilipinas.
MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS! MABUHAY ANG PILIPINO!
Ang sa inyo'y nagmamahal ng lubos sa puso,

"BATO BATO SA LANGIT ANG TAMAAN AY HUWAG MAGAGALIT"
A MESSAGE FROM FILIPINO GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE!
"FILGLOBAL"
To all Filipinos in the Philippines, OFWs and Expatriates who care for
the future of our old country please read this!.....
According to official statistics, 39.5 percent of Filipinos, or more
than five million families, lived below the poverty threshold in 2000.
Poverty is number one reason that is why we are in sorry state of
misery..... Many voters are vulnerable to patronage, vote buying,
simplistic messages like dancing and singing actors and actresses. We
have to educate them and ask them who will suffer if we elect these
incompetent and corrupt officials?
Due to their simple wrong selection of candidates their sons and
grandson will be on the receiving end. This is the reason why I am
suggesting to all FILIPINOS WHO CARES FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE NATION
that we teach them of whom to vote. Who will suffer most of their
mistakes? The POOR and the whole country.... The "masa" vote is
popularly perceived to be dumb, unthinking, and prone to manipulation.
Just for a 100 pesos they will be succumbed to vote for the candidate.
We should teach them to accept the money but not to vote for them.
These incompetent/corrupt candidates have a very good chance of
getting elected, most of our voters think that what they can do in the
movies, they can do in real job in legislative branch. Celebrities ,
actors, opportunist, wannabes, non-patriots, money and power-hungry
candidates. Governors and mayor in many provinces who are well known
corrupt and the TRAPOS (traditional politicians) mainly the corrupt
ones will be elected again. Have you seen an actor lose in Philippine
election? No!!
If we are just going to wait and not to do something to prevent this
from happening, these candidates will be in our senate, they will be
the one who will legislate and enact our laws, this senate will be
more useless than ever before. What we need are officials who are able
to articulate their very good ideas efficiently in law making body
debate like Ninoy Aquino, Carlos P. Garcia, Osmena, Tanada, Manglapus,
Diosdado Macapagal, Ferdinand Marcos if he is not greedy, Jovito
Salonga, Manuel Quezon, Ramon Magsaysay etc., and fill it up with
mostly incompetent people what will happen to the country? It is going
to turn to "Opera House Movie Theater?"
They will be not only corrupt but also incompetent, senators who will
suck their "Pork Barrel" in billion of pesos yearly. We might as well
go for PARLIAMENTARY or they must have enacted laws that will say only
competent and honest person must be candidate to eliminate these
problems in our Law Making Body, the problem is they will block it
because they will be in power.
We need to act right now, FILGLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE is
the one way of diminishing the chances of country from becoming
stagnant and very poor nation. This alliance was started by Difransan,
Steve, Ron, Edel, Marion, Leo, Lito, Rey, Jojo, Ador, Batabatuta,
Bing, Astro B, JJ60, GPE, Jojo, and Mike (jdlc) in Philippine News
Link forum.
Our STRATEGIES is to help elect government officials who are
qualified, honest patriotic, have high moral values who place public
interest above self-interest. To get involve as a group to stop the
"TRAPOS" (traditional politicians,) political dynasties, actors and
sports personalities from getting elected to national and local
positions.
We should teach them to accept the vote buyers money but not to vote
for them, do not vote for corrupt, greedy, irresponsible, selfish,
with too much vices and abusive. Let us start now! If you love your
country, PLEASE PASS THIS EMAIL MESSAGES to your relatives, friends
and countrymen. Please send this to all OFWs and Expatriates, until
the nation is save from spiraling humiliation.... We have to start
now, it is better late than never....
If we all send this to other Filipinos who cares, we will be in 10
million voters before the election. Philippines has to survive this
crisis of actors, actresses and corrupt politicians. If you agree,
please send me email at JDLC...@yahoo.com, if you don't, just ignore
this letter. But spreading this message will be appreciated by your
grandchildren. But PLEASE if you do, RE-SEND THIS EMAIL LETTER TO THE
REST OF YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, this might save the miserable nation
from turning to extreme poverty....
If you want to help the "FILGLOBAL" alliance for good governance to
Eradicate the spreading corruption and ineptitude in our government
officials that is aggravating the growth of the our country, then
voice your opinion and say YES I WILL JOIN. Just simply send it to
jdlc1234@yahoo. and say "YES to FILGLOBAL" and let us join hand in
hand to expel this wickedness in our government officials. Email this
letter NOW to persuade and convince all voters to annihilate the pest
in our government.

PRIVATIZATION OF CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL GENERATION ASSETS BY THE POWER

not do it.
Joker Paz Arroyo: Arroyo was the very first lawyer to challenge the
act before the Supreme Court and questioned its legality under the
1935 Philippine Constitution. Arroyo participated/defense side in the

Arroyo served as Counsel of Cory Aquino during the snap election.
During the first EDSA Revolution, he served as one Aquino's key

Loren Legarda: Throughout her six-year tenure in the Senate from 1998
to 2004, she authored legislation benefitting women and children, such

the Bessie Legarda Memorial Foundation.She is an environmentalist, and
is a recipient of the United Nations Environment Program Award (UNEP.

actors. FILGLOBAL gladly chosen her.of the

Senator Edgardo Angara: Member of the House of Representatives, most
of his legislative measures, which were enacted into law deal with
