Ingat sa tsismis




Ingat sa tsismis
By Ellen Tordesillas

Ngayong palapit na 2010 eleksyun, dumadami ang mga panggulong mga balita.

Kawawa nga itong si Senator Chiz Escudero. Itong mga nakaraang araw, siya ang pinagdidiskitahan ng ilang grupo na mag-withdraw sa 2010 presidential contest.

Noong Linggo, maaga kong kinalampag ang kanyang political consultant na si Malou Tiquia dahil sa text na nakuha ko tungkol sa SWS survey na run-away si Sen. Noynoy Aquino sa survey sa Luzon.

Malaki ang nakain ni Noynoy sa rating ng ibang mga kandidato katulad nina Sen.Manny Villar, Estrada at Escudero. Pati narin nga yung kay Noli de Castro.


Sinabi sa text na magwi-withdraw daw si Chiz at nakikipag-usap daw kay Noynoy para magiging bise presidente. Sabi ni Malou, “Hindi toto-o yun!”

Pinadala rin sa akin ng isa kung kaibigan ang text sa kanya ni Chiz, “Uso ang tsismis ngayon, he he.”


Alam ng mga kandidato sa oposisyun katulad ni Chiz na nag-iba ang laban sa pagpasok ni Noynoy. Ngunit hindi pa naman sigurado ang damdamin ng buong bansa.

Marami pang isyu ang lalabas at pagsubok na dadaanan ang lahat na kandidato kasama si Noynoy.

Ang mahalaga sa publiko ay ang totoo lang.

Kung may dapat mag-withdraw, siguro si dating Pangulong Estrada.

Pagkatapos ng privilege speech ni Sen. Ping Lacson kahapon, dapat siguro kay Erap, tumulong na lang siyang mailagay sa ayos ang bayan sa pamamagitan ng pagsuporta ng kandidato na may kakayahan gumawa nun.

Sa kanyang pinakahihintay na privilege speech sinabi ni Lacson kung paano ginamit ni Estrada ang kanyang kapangyarihan bilang presidente hindi para ipatupad ang batas kungdi para kumita sa jueteng at smuggling.

Hindi talaga pwedeng pangulo si Erap. Mabait siya ngunit wala siyang disiplina sa sarili. Malabo rin ang kanyang konsepto ng tama at ng mali.

Naniniwala ako sa mga ikinuwento ni Lacson.

Inikuwento ni Lacson kung paano pina-harass ni Estrada ang negosyanteng si Alfonso Yuchengco para pilitin ibenta ang kanyang shares sa Philippine Telecommunications and Investment Corporation kay Manuel Pangilinan ng Philippine Long Distance Company.

Ang punto sa pahayag ni Lacson na parang bitin ay, outside the kulambo siya kay Estrada noon. Maraming beses daw nalalaman na lang niya meron pa lang inutos si Estrada sa kanyang mga tauhan. Hindi niya alam.

Ang tumbok dito ni Lacson ay ang kasong pagpatay sa negosyanteng si Bubby Dacer at ang kanyang driver. Mukhang galit si Lacson na idinadawit siya ni Estrada sa sinasabing “Operation Delta”. Sabi ni Lacson hindi nga niya alam na meron pa lang “Operation Delta”.

Hindi pa nakuntento sa pardon na binigay ni Arroyo, gusto pang bumalik ulit sa pagka-presidente.

Baka akala niya kapag pangulo na siya ulit, paprotektahan niya ang kanyang sarili. Hindi tamang motibo yan sa pagtakbo bilang presidente.

Dapat, tatakbo ka dahil gusto mong makatulong sa taumbayan. Gusto mong tumulong mai-ayos ang lagay ng bansa.

Mas makatulong si Estrada sa bayan kung hindi na niyang ituloy ang balak na tumakbo sa pagka-presidente ulit at gamitin niya ang impluwensya niya sa masa para sa isang kandidato na sa akala niya tunay ang pagmamahal sa taumbayan.

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...

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...

Taboan: Philippine Writers' Festival 2009

By John Iremil E. Teodoro, Contributor The Daily Tribune 02/26/2009 A happy and historical gathering of wordsmiths with phallocentric and Manila-centric overtones *** This is from my friend, the excellent poet and critic John Iremil Teodoro, who writes from the magical island of Panay. I wish I have his energy, his passion and his time to write. Writing needs necessary leisure. But this budding, bading politician has shifted his directions. On this day alone, I have to attend not one, not two, but three political meetings. And there goes that new poem out of the window. Sigh. *** According to Ricardo de Ungria, a poet of the first magnitude and the director of Taboan: The Philippine International Writers Festival 2009, “the original idea was for a simple get together of writers from all over the country who have been recipients, directly or indirectly, of grants and awards from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). What happened last Feb. 11 to 13 was far from being ...
