Pwede ang mga Arroyo's wala jud labot sa jueteng... it's the ineffectiveness of Gloria to elimate or minimize jueteng is the problem nga gahatag sab og duda sa mga taw... It's the duty of the President to implement the Law, it is her main job!

If there's a will there's a way.

apparently almost all of the scandals involving the first gentleman have been allowed to come completely to light, and it's without a doubt because at times malacanang has put its foot down against any close inquiries into his business affairs and involvements.. he may not be an elected public official, but he still nonetheless holds a position of power and influence..

as much as possible PGMA shouldn't be defending the first gentleman and rep. arroyo shouldn't without first allowing investigations to take place.. if have nothing to hide, then they will have no reason to fear investigations.. it would even clear out their names.. err but then again, who can prevent a wife and at the same time a mother from defending her husband and son?

hmmm, is it just me or were all presidents linked to illegal stuff since marcos?
they should learn how to cover their tracks better if they continue doing these stuff... and inquiries into this should be taken before shouting this out to the masses... this will only degrade the damaged morale of the people... useless and worthless... tsk. let the president do her job. let's do ours. i hope they learn jed... but then again, running the country is hard... and being the first jerk.. i mean, gentleman doesn't actually change the practices of a person... so let mike suffer and let gloria run the country.

that's the problem... karonra gipa investigate after naa ni sha-ok.

GMA said, "I AM ONE PRESIDENT WHO DIDNT GET A CENTAVO FROM JUETENG"

Some people were overheard. . .

1. "Sure. So how many centavos did she get?"

2."Sure, she didn’t get a centavo. She got millions and the presidency."

3. "The jueteng issue was her main tool to steal the presidency."

4.She is too clever by half. Reminds me of Clinton: "I never had *** with that woman.’"

5."She didn’t get jueteng money? Sure. And Clinton did not have *** with that woman."

6. I was reminded of: the disgraced Richard Nixon insisting, "I am not a crook."

7."She’s suggesting that Mike and Mikey may have taken but she did not."

8. "Why doesn’t she face the mirror and tell that to herself? Of course she did not receive a single cent. Somebody else received it for her."

9. "What about Mike? Husband’s money is wife’s money. I believe she knows. If she doesn’t know, then she is incompetent."

10. A wise guy observed that she qualified her statement — "one president". Then he asks, "what about as senator, as vice-president"? Another wrote, "Baka nga hindi siya, baka hanggang kay M-1 at M-2 lamang".

'Jueteng' probes losing steam
Arroyo allies want inquiries scrapped

EXPECT the planned Senate and House inquiries into "jueteng" operations to fizzle out, with administration lawmakers moving to scrap them altogether.

Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago yesterday said the Senate should leave the investigation to criminal prosecutors or to an independent commission. She said the chamber should also be careful not to be used by jueteng lords to "regain lost territory."

Two Senate committees are set to begin on Monday afternoon a joint inquiry into why the illegal numbers game continues to flourish, as well as allegations that government officials and some private individuals were getting huge payoffs to protect the operations.

"In any event, I do not think that it is proper for the legislature to play Dick Tracy, to play detective and find out who is taking money from the jueteng operators," Santiago said. "We do not have the skills or the resources to undertake that kind of a function, and it simply is not [a] legislative [matter]," she said. In the House of Representatives, Surigao del Sur Rep. Prospero Pichay said the jueteng inquiries would not help ferret out the truth and would only result in a "political slugfest."


"The proceedings of a congressional or Senate probe would also work against a sober assessment of the charges that may be hurled. We will only end up slinging mud at each other," said Pichay, who heads the House contingent to the Commission on Appointments.

Pichay's remarks surprised reporters covering the House, which had often insisted on its power to conduct investigations in aid of legislation.

But Pichay said the House could clip its powers momentarily to allow the Department of Justice and other agencies to handle the jueteng inquiry, "so this would be based on proper investigative procedures and rules of evidence."

He said the DOJ, although headed by an ally of President Macapagal-Arroyo, should be allowed to exercise its jurisdiction over the issue of jueteng.

The jueteng scandal has lately included members of the First Family.

Last week, three men supposedly involved in jueteng said they had collected protection money for the President's husband and elder son, which both have denied.

Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. also said he surmised that Ms Arroyo had benefited from jueteng, although he added that he had no proof.

Not equipped

Santiago pointed out that most lawmakers were not lawyers equipped with the skills to elicit the truth from witnesses.

She said the Senate should leave the matter, particularly the question of who in the government were on the take from jueteng lords, to the Philippine National Police or the National Bureau of Investigation.

"If we're referring to the criminal investigation to ferret out who are the government officials taking bribes, that is a waste of time," she said, adding:

"Maybe there should be an independent presidential commission, like [what they have] in the United States when there is a major scandal. But we simply are not equipped here in the Senate.

Like Sen. Manuel "Lito" Lapid, chair of one of the committees scheduled to handle the investigation, Santiago said the legislature should confine itself to the issue of whether jueteng should be legalized or not.

"I'm not optimistic about the results," she told reporters. "We have seen this kind of an exercise periodically in the Philippine Congress, and it has never resulted in anything."

Ground for whitewash

Pimentel, however, accused Malacañang of trying to railroad the Senate investigation this early.

He said the attack on him and Senators Panfilo Lacson and Lapid by Antipolo Rep. Ronaldo Puno, a member of the President's Kampi party, was meant to lay the "ground for whitewashing" the inquiry.

Puno was reported as saying that the three senators had no moral ascendancy to conduct the inquiry because of their failure to stop jueteng when they were in a position to do so as local officials or as the police chief in the past.

Lacson issued a veiled threat to Puno.

"They should not push me to the wall because up to now I have not lifted a finger to get to the bottom of all these things," he said, adding that he had only been receiving information from witnesses who had sought him out.

"They should not wait for me to seek out witnesses because some of their allies may just find themselves in a deeper hole," Lacson said.

Tsk. tsk. tsk. The way things are shaping, I see a major whitewash. The allies of GMA particularly Congressman Pichay is laying the ground work for a grand cover up.

What are they afraid of? The Arroyos are insisting they are not involve in jueteng. If they really have no involvement, why afraid of senate inquiries. "The innocent is as bold as a lion" so does a saying goes. If you are innocent, you could face your accusers straight in the eye. Whoever if you are guilty you are fidgety.

But the actions of the Arroyo's are contrary to their assertions. Big Mike went abroad a day after the expose'. Mikey Arroyo is going to follow suit saying "earlier commitments" to the United States. Why the sudden series of foreign trips of the implicated individuals is so suspicious. " The guilty fleeth." The Arroyo's have yet to show and convice the public that they really have nothing to do with it.

Now both the Secretary of Justice and the members of Congress allied with the President are cooking up a conspiracy to prevent the conduct of the jueteng inquiry. If their patrons are really innocent, there is really nothing to be afraid of.

Anyway, the last time a truth was supressed (2nd envelope of Jueteng case vs. Erap), people power broke out. The GMA camp may have forgotten that.

go after those jueteng lord... mga Arroyo pa na or kinsa pa.
