LP senatorial candidates

From www.visayanbloggers.com

I do not know this guy but I just got this while surfing the Internet today. This is interesting, but let me reiterate that I am not a member of the Liberal party -- or of any other political party. If I am rating well in the senatorial surveys -- as some political operators claim when they talk to me -- that is their opinion and not mine.

Thanks, anyway, for visayan bloggers for thinking I am worthy of being in this slate.

Below are the people being considered as 2010 senatorial candidates for the Liberal Party (LP). I repeat, the people below are still being considered and are still not the final bets of LP, as what the LP-Atienza wing tries to claim.

Cavite Rep. Joseph Emilio Aguinaldo Abaya, who was tasked by LP chairman former Sen. Franklin Drilon, to head the party’s Electoral Preparatory Committee, listed down the following potential “senatoriables”:

1. Former Senator Franklin Drilon
2. Former Agriculture Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad
3. Muntinlupa Rep. Rozanno Rufino “Ruffy” Biazon
4. Quezon Rep. Erin Tanada
5. Former Bukidnon Rep. Neric Acosta
6. Naga Mayor Jesse Robredo
7. Isabela Gov. Grace Padaca
8. Pampanga Gov. Ed Panlilio
9. TV personality Cory Quirino

In my own opinion, they should also include Prof. Danton Remoto and former Genuine Opposition Spokesperson Adel Tamano. I know they’re not members of LP, but I believe they can be adopted by the party.

I wonder who would be Senator Roxas’ candidate for Vice-President? Would it be Senator Noynoy Aquino or bSenator Francis Pangilinan?

How about you? Who do you think should be included in the vetting process for senatorial candidates of LP

A mansion of many languages

BY DANTON REMOTO, abs-sbnNEWS.com/Newsbreak | 10/16/2008 1:00 AM REMOTE CONTROL In 1977, my mentor, the National Artist for Literature and Theater Rolando S. Tinio, said: “It is too simple-minded to suppose that enthusiasm for Filipino as lingua franca and national language of the country necessarily involves the elimination of English usage or training for it in schools. Proficiency in English provides us with all the advantages that champions of English say it does – access to the vast fund of culture expressed in it, mobility in various spheres of the international scene, especially those dominated by the English-speaking Americans, participation in a quality of modern life of which some features may be assimilated by us with great advantage. Linguistic nationalism does not imply cultural chauvinism. Nobody wants to go back to the mountains. The essential Filipino is not the center of an onion one gets at by peeling off layer after layer of vegetable skin. One’s experience with onio...

Five Poems by Danton Remoto

In the Graveyard Danton Remoto The walls round the graveyard Are ancient and cracked. The moss is too thick they look dark. The paint on my grandfather’s tomb Has the color of bone. Two yellow candles we lighted, Then we uttered our prayers. On my left, somebody’s skull Stares back at me: a black Nothingness in the eyes. The graveyard smells of dust Finer than the pore of one’s skin— Dust mixed with milk gone sour. We are about to depart When a black cat darts Across our path, quickly, With a rat still quivering In its mouth. * Immigration Border Crossing (From Sadao, Thailand to Bukit Changloon, Malaysia) Danton Remoto On their faces that betray No emotion You can read the unspoken Questions: Are you really A Filipino? Why is your skin Not the color of padi ? Your eyes, Why are they slanted Like the ones Who eat babi ? And your palms, Why are there no callouses Layered like th...
