Those are crocodile tears being shed by Claudine in their press interview. Claudine got hurt because she joined in the melee. Had she stayed away, wala sanang pasa sa mukha si Tatang Mon Tulfo! "CUT!" the director shouted from his seat. 'TAKE TWO"

The Santiagos should not resent Tulfo taking video photos of Claudine condemning vehemently a ground representative of Cebu Pacific. Tulfo is exercising his right as a media man who has not lost his freedom of speech guaranteed under the Constitution. The Santiagos could not invoke privacy rights in a public place. They don't have those rights. The Santiagos (friends included) do not have the right to assault a media man and beat the crap out of an elderly person. You could ask anyone (except Pipit) if the Santiagos are on the right side of the law. I betcha, they aren't.

Most celebrities are seen as role models to many Filipinos including many children. However, if they behave badly in public such as the case of these arrogant actors, they must not receive special treatment or VIP case. The abused Cebu Pacific airport employees should file charges & if they are found guilty should pay big damages or go to jail just like any other Joe Blow. Set examples to other wanabe-abusers that such bad behaviors are condemnable by all standard. The problem is Filipinos look to celebrities, actors, singers, or public figures as their personal friends. One clear example: Ex. Pres. Erap, the next mayor of Manila.

WDC: I disagree completely with your statement that Pinoys are arrogant wherever they are. That is one big paint brush you are using! The behavior of the Santiagos at NAIA is likely to happen only in the Philippines because people who have gained fame and fortune think they are above the law. Laws in the PH are not applied evenly and punishments are never harsh to teach offenders a lesson. Punishments are mere slap on the wrist. Pinoys who go overseas leave that arrogant trait at home and become timid creatures (hindi nagrereklamo, tameme) abroad. When they come back home they reacquire the trait they left behind!

This time I agree with the choir of PNL Philippine bashers. But only for this particular song and particular individuals. Because of all the passengers who 'lost' their luggage, only very few behave stupidly. It is all because of bad upbringing. It is difficult for parents to tend to the business of getting rich and to raise good children. This is a typical parental failure for these two individual. Self-image so low a mere lost luggage reveals their stupidity.

Matanovic Klundt: The threats aired by the younger Tulfos are mere emotional reaction to a kuya na pinagtulungan nang mga barkada ni Raymart at Claudine. You would have done the same thing to a brother or any relative for that matter. What they said is to be ignored and not taken seriously because they (Tulfos) are not that stupid to push through with those verbal threats. The Santiagos begging for an order protection is going over the top. WORDS DO NOT KILL.

Alicia: That is essentially the role or reporters, journalists, photographers, etc to be nosey. Nosey by definition is curiosity of a person that is seen as interfering in other people's business. What these people are doing are perfectly legal. The constitution guarantees those rights. These nosey people (hated by some) bring to the public transparency. They bring you the other side of the coin that most people do not see. Unless you are from mainland China, this is democracy at its best! WYSIWYG. The adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" is still valid. The Santiagos, however, hated that!

The haughtiness of Pinoys is the trait that disappears when dealing with western people outside of the Philippine jurisdiction. I see that quiet often in a Philippine community abroad; this trait of arrogance is still there and very palpable. This hypocrisy is so evident when Pinoys say" yes sir' or 'no mam" to a white man or woman. Being a snitch is so common among Pinoy co-workers. Many believe that it is the right path to get rewarded at work but not on merits.

Douche bags! Some of these Filipino celebs are the equivalent of white trash here in US.

I'm not sure when we will realize that these ugly habits of ours were the same attitudes that the colonial Spain have subjected us to and the main reason that our Rizal have died for.

E. Tan, Keeping yourself abreast with ‘current events’ in politics & military & how these players in politics & military are making positive & negative impact in the PH is to be commended. Well, I sense that you are just as proud as me for having been born in the PH. Back to Panatag Shoals, China made their 1st concession by banning Chinese fishermen out of the shoals ‘til August, giving PNoy a chance to respond in kind by asking Zambaleneos to do the same. Hopefully, these 2 Leaders will arrive to a permanent and acceptable compromise. Let us not forget that Filipinos have been ‘kicked around’ (long enough) by Spain (300 yrs), U. S. (48 yrs) & Japan 3 yrs - ENOUGH.

The Power Point presentation by Ombudsman Rosales about dollar accounts belonging to CJ Corona is the ‘icing on the cake’ for the prosecution panel, soon to be delivered to them in May 31 or June 12 by the Senator Judges - the guilty verdict for CJ Corona. It was late, but I enjoyed watching the Power Presentation (live yesterday). Kudos to Ombudsman Conchita Morales who delivered the presentation. Commissioner Heidi Mendoza assisted with the Presentation & I believe that her qualifications & honesty makes her a much better candidate for Senator, compared to actress Moreno.

By this time, some of you people might have an idea already of Corona's strategy when cornered. He is like a gopher with other holes to run to escape. If you noticed he has been using other people to claim ownership of some properties (U.S. and Philippines). His plan is to create doubt to the ownership once cornered. He can alleged that somebody owns this millions under his account.

(Continuation) He will allege that somebody owns this $10m. Remember, there were accounts withdrawn on election time? He will be able to produce an signed affidavit ( perhaps a defeated politician ) purporting ownership of it. Thus creating a doubt. Perhaps, he can be accused of lying, laundering ( even for the latter, ownership might have to be established). The idea is to delay, to create doubt and mitigate the guilt. To make the act morally, ethically or legally wrong but not necessarily an impeachable, in the constitution.

It's assets in the free world is enormous. Countries, specially US, owes the PRC tons of money. Were it to start a war against the Philippines, it would lose everything it has economically/financially gained, doing business with the West/Free world, and will be back to the dark, impoverished days of Mao Tse Tung. Mutual treaty/VFA invoked ends China's economic/financial status. Don't buy shoes "Made in China."

Re: Casualties of the Stand-off.. As a blogged the other day 1500 containers holding Mindanao bananas were rotting in three Chinese ports, of course the reason they were rotting is that the Chinese are retaliating against the PH. Now there is already an order from the Chinese authorities to stop allowing tourists to go the PH. China is a Police state it is the government who decides where citizen tourists can go. The PH should start looking at Chinese companies doing business as Mining operators in the PH.

If China is on ascendency, sooner or later mistakes will be made and the fall will be predictable. I call it cyclical. Philippines will never be a major player as nations struggle for supremacy.

USS North Carolina, a Virginia class of submarine prowls the West Philippine Sea. A new bred of submarine designed in "post cold war" that can manuever on shore and deep waters. A "stealth" just like the stealth bomber and the newest type of submarine. As stated by U.S. before, Philippines is a vital interest militarily because of its location. It cannot allow Communist Red China to dominate the entire South China Sea. China by bullying the Philippines because of its oil potential is a step to invade the country and later take Taiwan by force. In my view, the refurbished aircraft carrier obtained from Russia is an indication of their intention to dominate Asia and start bullying Asian countries.

Some Filipino corrupt politicians & Catholics will thank the Indonesians for slaughtering communists & the communist Chinese for slaughtering their own people. In fact, Filipinos are also engaged in eliminationist politics, see the Maguindanao massacre. Filipino Catholics will continue to attend church, play golf, partaking in cultural events, historical war analysis, swapping discourse, comparing cultural values, and so on. But some Filipino Catholics & their religious leaders are reluctant to condemn political corruption, judicial partiality, religious massacre, the spread of Maoist ideology, lies, & corruption of priesthood, rape.

The meron o wala game being played in the impeachment trial of Corona is full of drama (some say crap). Corona is being opaque and evasive. By acting that way, Corona raises suspicion that something is being withheld or hidden. Corona could have easily said: " I don't have a dollar account and I am giving my consent to all interested parties to look at the alleged dollar accounts in the interest of TRUTH." Corona can't say that. He won't do it. IT IS INCRIMINATING.

Re: A blogger here who identifies as LPiF was questioning the basis of Ombudsman Conchita C. Morales when she testified in the Impeachment trial of the CJ.. Well Mr. LPiF The basis was a report from the Anti Money Laundering Counsel (AMLAC). Because of the many illegal activities of some groups e.g. terrorists, drug dealers and other criminal syndicates the AMLAC was formed to gather evidence on transactions of at least 500 thousand pesos.. Their task is to track it down and see that these are not criminal enterprises. The CJ transaction in 82 bank accounts is suspicious because his salary and allowances is a little over 1 Million pesos however his transactions are in excess of 200 million pesos..

Canada's national publication echoes the Phil-China conflict. I quote it in its entirety: Beijing claims that nearly all of the 3.5 million square kilometers of the sea is its sovereignty because, centuries ago, Chinese explorers found and named the islands. This is a weak argument. The Philippines believes its geographical proximity to the islands forms a more legitimate claim, while Vietnam disputes China's historical account, saying China didn't claim sovereignty over the islands until the 1940's. The islands is five times closer to the Filipino coast than China. While the Filipino navy is no match to China, it has U.S. on its side. China should adopt to contemporary geopolitical realities. Its claim is spurious. A solution should be found through negotiation and diplomacy.

I do agree with McKenzie's provocative analysis that Communist China is moving into a modern era of war to test Western powers. In fact, there is no such thing as diplomacy--- "combat or war is the continuation of politics by violent means." It is common knowledge that political institution, defense, economic, etc. are rapidly changing in Asia.

David is Pinoy (not Jewish) while Goliath is Chinese (Go Liat). Both are biblical figures. Forget about them. Get real folks. Bring Genghis Khan, Hrorekr or Atilla the Hun back to life!

I read with interest the two-part series of the theory that Anastasia, the lone "survivor" of the Romanoff clan, might have landed in the Philippines, bore some Ruskie-Pinoy heirs. But why present another theory when it's been resolved that Ingrid Bergman was Anastasia in the movie of the same title? Well, it's been claimed that Elvis is alive and well in Davao City living in Agdao district incognito. hehehehe.

Jorge Villanueva: You were wrong when you said that corruption is obviousity when a person would just walk into the counter and pick up his documents ahead of the others. Something like that. It's the opposite. When I was in Pinas, when I transact business at City Hall, I just hand in my documents, nanginginig pa the workers would quickly take care of it and as quickly get rid of me. I did not clip twenty, fifty or even hundred ka pisos what the others are doing but just the same their papers are piled first-in, first out. If they don't take care of my transactions, mahirap na ang mag-alboroto pa ako doon. You must have observed me. No kidding.

Steve R: The insect claiming Pinas as part or territory of China might as well be right. In my commentary, if 1UP will donate the lot he owns in the U.S. to the Philippines, that piece of land do not become a territory of the Philippines. But in the case of the insect-pinoy, daw owning and controlling Philippine economy, that claim of China has a basis in fact. BTW, don't worry about the insect firing at Pinoys. The U.S. spy satellites are focus on those insect ships already, so there will be no denying if it indeed it will happen.

Going back to Corona, I suggest Corona should raise this point as defense: "Mga alyados (referring to the Senate trying him) ibalato nyo na lang ito sa akin. After all, prapreho naman tayong lahat." Kayong mangyan! I think this line of defense is more effective.

Kali: Unknown to Pinoys but common knowledge to Pinas insect, Pinas is already considered by China as their province and being run like Hong Kong. The obviousity is very clear as mud who are these insect running Pinas and they are not Pinas born. After all, why would even the educated insect in China would dare claim that Pinas is part of China even if the medias who claim these are state controlled. There must be some torotot to these.

...true I agree with Duncan ...." the Philippines failed to industrialize and to properly use its resources, both human and material, to position itself as a military power with a credible deterrent force." Too much dependent to the US and other countries for donations made us even weaker ....I hope that our country will and soon can stand up on it's own ....

These people who have a little money become corrupt in the head with a little fame and believe they can do as they please, does it not sound so different than the politicians, police, judges, lawyers and people with power in the Philippines. I have been to the Philippines 7 or 8 times now and still believe it would be a better place if only you could get rid of all the corruption, peace be with the common people of the Philippines for they are the real ones not the plastic people of money and power.

To Phil Research: I did not say Filipino billionaires are obliged to give aid. I said, "... Can the government try asking them to give aid to our armed forces so we do not have to beg from the outside? As naturalized citizens they are obliged to renounce their Chinese citizenship and have their loyalty to the Philippines which had adopted them. If they refuse to help, then at least it reveals their true color".

TonyO matagal ka na nawala sa Islas de ladrones I just came back after 3months stay. You want proof that Corona railroaded the case. First the case was filed when Corona this SOB was already a stooge working in Malacanang. The libel case progressed when he was appointed Associate Justice. Corona was seen by one eye witness that during the hearing of the Libel case he was outside the cout sala. In Islas de Ladrones a mere letter from Atty Estilito Mendoza to the Supreme Court can reopen a case supposed to be with finality. A foreign Mining Company an Australian based company three years ago paid 14million to the Islas de Ladrones Justices the case was decided against PICOP.

To TonyO the libel case of the Late Basa was decided when the this SOB was already an associate justice of the Supreme Court. Kong Hindi railroad yan the shares of the patay na na BASA was auctioned of daw in a Public auction the single bidder was the daughter Corona for a mere 28,000 pesos the Sheriff reported the auction after nine years. Hindi ba sa Islas de ladrones pag namatay yong accused all his crime is extinguished? Bakit it was still auctioned off? Bumalik ka sa Islas de ladrones so you can experience this fun in the Philippines.

To TonyO get a copy of a blank SALN report there is a portion their about a waiver. Ombudsman used this signed waiver to obtain the AMLC report so how can you say that it is a fruit of a poisoned tree? From the way the impeachment goes Corona will be dethroned. Then after that criminal cases will be filed against him then disbarment. The persecuted BASA family will have their revenge by the grace of GOD.

I have read that to use this forum, participants are reminded not to resort to insults, foul language or name-calling. I hope we observe the guidelines. Remember the Bible says, "It is not what is put into your mouth that defiles, but what comes out from it that defiles." We are only asked our opinions on certain issues. Let us respect each other's opinions. Respect begets respect. We are not even sure that our opinions count as far as our officials are concerned. PEACE to everyone

A stupid bird said "In fact, Tibet's spiritual leader, Dalai Lama, likes a strong leader (President Bush), see Piers Morgan interview." What his holiness said was that he likes George Bush as a person (no mention of strong leader). Holy cow! The only bird in town with the capacity to parse man's words. Yo where's that applied linguistics skills (a grade of "A") you have?

In the news: "PNOY Vows To Run After Fugitives, Private Armies". He might as well his meat, baka sakali pa. Eh, kung dito sa 'tates mayroon silang "blue wall of silence", sa Pinas those who harbor fugitives and private armies have a buddy-buddy system for those who are supposed to chase them. Look at when Lacson hid; now it's Palparan, the ex-mayor and his brothers and others. They (those who harbor these suspects) know they are "untouchable" as far as the as I said the chasers are concern. Prapreho silang lahat.

It is pitiful to watch HARVEY KEH, who claims he is a lead convener of Kaya Natin's good government ethical leadership but IRONICALLY has allowed himself to be one of the stooges of a vindictive, procrastinating, Abnoy president of the Republic being grilled, castigated, admonished, and dressed upside down like chicken by no less than Impeachment Court Chairman Enrile and Sen. Santiago! He admitted the documents he brought were just left there in his office by someone ANONYMOUS! OMG, this bright boy is a sannamagan sannamabit!

Another OMG! Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales was grilled with Sen. Santiago's question, "are you of the opinion that should somebody file a complaint against us senators you can just go straight to AMLC and ask for our records without waiting for probable cause to be found?" The Yellow Tanod replied, 'IT WOULD DEPEND ON THE NATURE OF THE COMPLAINT." For which Santiago responded, 'you are fudging (or dodging).' Mea culpa admitted by Carpio! I don't know what kind of law degree has Carpio!

Bakit sobra ang pagdepensa ni Brenda Santiago at Gunggung Marcos kay Thief Corona? Dahil seguro takot na mawala ang Hukom na madaling bilhin for future defense in case na maimbestigahan din sila. Si Marcos,paano siya nagkaroon ng asset na almost 700 million pesos ? Ang nanay Imelda almost 1 billion pesos? Si Brenda takoot na baka maimbbestigahan ang kapatid niiiyang dating AFP chief. Sa nguso talga nabibingwit ang (malannsang) isda.

Some sources from Palawan (relaying through Facebook) have given INFOS about sightings of several Chinese vessels off the west coast of Palawan! Whether these are fishing ships or naval vessels, it is not yet certain. But the question is: Is the presence of USS North Carolina (modern nuclear submarine) in Subic Bay just co-incidental in relation to Chinese presence? Or is Uncle Sam quite a little bit worried that he intentionally dispatched it to watch the movement of our adversary for what-ever eventuality?

Re: Manny Pacquaio..Multi millionaire banned from the Grove.. The Grove is just a mall here in Beverly Hills..Pacquaio's problem is his penchant for commenting on subjects which are very sensitive..He has a home in Hancock Park but he doesn't know Los Angeles... The LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & transgender)..I know Pacquaio has many advisers but they have to "educate" him on the LA crowd .. The Grove is in the West side. West Hollywood is another city where the elected officials are mostly gay?.. Now Pacquiao you can talk about your views on marriage maybe in your own private party where the people you might offend will never hear about it. Pacquiao, I believe learned his lesson. do not comment on something that might be offensive to some people.

For people with high moral standard and a great respect for the office, the mere suspicion of dishonesty or questionable act would be enough to trigger his or her resignation. For a power hungry crook nothing is stronger than actual conviction for him or her to move even an inch from the seat that provided enormous wealth and influence. Guess where Chief Justice Corona belongs?

Deo; In the news: "China Denies War Preparations". The insect are enjoying a good life, so it would be unthinkable even for their baneful leaders to wage war with their neighbors. They are only strengthening their military for the reason of "never again". Ka Deo don’t forget that insect are thirsty of black oil that’s why they are the best friend of Iran. Look there is $26.5 trillion worth of oil slushing at Reed Bank alone. That would surely quince the thirst of Limahong. In fact they are drilling for oil already. Just watch, one morning PNoy will be awaken with the news that the insect are back at Panatag shoal harvesting what supposed to belong to the Pinoys. Too much at stake not to be serious, insect knows they have leverage.
