Sandbox is brought to you by Smart Telecommunications. Acer Smartphones is a product of the attempt of Acer to enter into the smartphone industry.

how shocking. first photos, then now content
These were the words posted by Noemi in my facebook account. It’s true. I am already used to photo stealing issues left and right but this time it’s something new and something I wasn’t expecting. Early this year, it was Panay News, now its The Freeman of Cebu/philstar.com
The Freeman, a Cebu-based newspaper owned by the third largest broadsheet The Philippine Star has published an article where parts of it were actually grabbed from my old post without permission or even citing my blog as the source of information. The same article was also published in the Philippine Star Website.
In the newspaper version entitled “The quest for the perfect pasalubong” published last May 16, 2009, news writer Oliver Victor B. Amoroso wrote:
Bacolod’s cakes Being the capital of the sugar-producing province of Negros Occidental, do you know that Bacolod still has a secret only a few know? It’s Calea’s cakes. The cake shop first opened its doors beside the L’ Fisher Hotel in Lacson Street. In no time, word spread out like wildfire. Loyal patrons immediately grew in number; thus, the need for a larger space. Calea then opened their second store at the Robinson’s Place in Mandalagan, Bacolod City. And just recently, they also opened their third branch at the East Block, along the Circumferential Road. So what’s with Calea, anyway? It’s one of a kind. No Metro Manila cake shop could ever beat the cakes of Calea. And their cakes are cheaper, too (pegged between Php50-65 per slice)! My personal favorites are the cheesecake and the lemon torte cake. So when you get a chance to visit Bacolod City, never dare miss the cakes of Calea.

P20 milyon bawat isang boto sa ConAss
Manloloko talaga itong si Gloria Arroyo.
May nagsabi sa amin na ayun sa isang kongresista na nandun sa Manila Hotel noong Huwebes sa pormal na pagsanib ng Lakas at Kampi, tinawag raw sila ni Arroyo sa isang kwarto at sinabihan na kailangan mapasa na ang House Resolution 1109 para sa Constituent Assembly na hindi kailangan ang Senado para mapalitan ang Constitution.
Ipinangako raw ni Arroyo na bibigyan siya ng tig-P20 milyon sa bawat kongresista na boboto para maipasa ang HR 1109.
Kailangan ni Arroyo ang boto ng three-fourths ng House of Representatives. Mga 200 na kongresista yun. Kung bibigay siya ng tig-P20 milyon para sa 200 na boto, aabot yun sa P4 na bilyon.
Kayang-kaya, maraming pera sa kaban ng bayan. Perang buwis ng taumbayan. Pera galing sa pawis at dugo ng mga OFW.
Dito makikita natin na sagad sa buto talaga ang pagka-manloloko ni Arroyo. Sa kanyang talumpati, pinaglandakan niya na may eleksyon sa 2010.
Ito ang sinabi niya: “Cynics and detractors love to paint grim scenarios about a cancellation of the 2010 elections. Let this merger of LAKAS and KAMPI be tangible proof of the Administration’s readiness, nay determination, to help ensure that the elections do push through.”
Ito ang translation: “Sa mga mahilig manira, palagi nilang nilalarawan na ang pagkansela ng 2010 na eleksyon. Hayaan niyong itong pagkaka-isa ng Lakas at Kampi ay magiging malakas na ebidensya ng kahandaan nitong administrasyon na matuloy ang eleksyon.”
Paano naman maging ebidensya ang pagkakaisa ng mga manloloko na hindi na matuloy ang kanilang panloloko? Kung may pinatunayan ang okasyun noong Huwebes, iyun ay garapal talaga sila.
Hindi sinabi ni Arroyo na ang eleksyon na gaganapin sa 2010 ay sa ilalim ng bagong Constitution na ang sistema ng pamahalaan ay parliamentary system at siya ay tatakbo bilang kinatawan ng Pampanga. Kapag miyembro na siya ng Parliament, hihirangin na siya na Prime Minister.
Garapal talaga kasi karamihan sa mga kongresista na pumalakpak kay Arroyo sa kanyang talumpati ay siya rin ang pumirma para mapunta na sa plenary ang HR 1109.
Pinipilit talaga nilang itinutulak kasi gahol na sila sa oras. Alam nilang may kukwestyon niyan sa Supreme Court kaya kailangan makapagdesisyon na ang mataas na hukuman sa loob ng buwan ng Hunyo. Karamihan na ng miyembro ng Supreme Court ay hawak ni Arroyo kaya kampante silang makukuha nila ang boto kahit labag sa batas ang kanilang ginagawa.
Hindi problema ang paggawa ng bagong Constitution na gusto ni Arroyo. Gawa na yan. Sa Septiembre magkaroon na ng referendum. Walang problema sa local governments. Nabusog na niya ang karamihan sa mga mayor at gubernador.
Kapag na-aprubahan na ang bagong Constitution, magkakaroon na nga ng eleksyon sa 2010 para sa miyembro ng parliament. Yan ang sinasabi ni Arroyo na eleksyon.
Manloloko talaga, ano.
