Kudos (II) to Gilberto C. Teodoro, Jr.
DBM money for faxes, electric fans, and Disaster Assistance etc.
First, even if the Pag-Asa is under the Department of Science and Technology, it is Sec. Gilberto Cojuangco Teodoro, Jr. who is the chief whip of the inter-agency task group that coordinates disaster assistance. . . I was extremely surprised when I was told that suddenly Pag-Asa faxed an unsolicited message from a Quezon City number to selected government offices. Even if the fax contained near-microscopic letters and minute drawings of clouds, rains, suns, it provided a good view of the coming weather conditions and what kind of preparations one should make... It makes Teodoro a good leader, a very good secretary and cabinet man. There aren't many good Queen's and King's Ministers all round us. But Teodoro is a candidate for an Olympic gold medal for being fast on the job. So kudos Mr. Secretary! More of this post here…

Unlike Cory who always managed to slip to the late Joe Quirino’s house in Pasig to play her favorite sugal with her rich (kuno) and notoriously stupid (not famous) confreres. You can ask the wife of Sen. Rodolfo Biazon, if she is still alive. She is one of them mad mahjongeras and Mrs. Biazon’s mahjong sessions with Cory is the reason why Pong became chief of staff and later a senador. Imagine!!! The fate of our country over a few games of that unspeakable game of plastic chips! Caramba!!! Dios mio!!! (At least Biazon owes his mahjongera wife the chief-of-staffship and the suggestion from her to hire an English tutor so that de poor Pong weel no longger spik karabaw ingglis. Susmaryosep!!!)"
I hope that when you blog, you only write about what is true.
First, Mrs. Biazon was never that close to Pres. Aquino.
Second, she never and does not play mahjong. She doesn't even know how to play it.
Third, Senator Biazon became CHief of Staff not because of mahjong or MRs. Biazon's closeness to Pres. Aquino. He became Chief of Staff because he deserved it. All his time in the military, he spent it in the field, out in the boondocks, in the line of fire. Unlike other generals and Chiefs of Staff who spent more time in an airconditioned office than in a foxhole. Senator Biazon's military record is proof of that.
DUring President Aquino's time, then General Biazon figured prominently in crushing 7 serious coup attempts, saving democracy for all of us. He showed his mettle as a battlefield commander especially in the face of the rebel tanks and mortar in camp aguinaldo. While everyone else was nowhere to be seen, he was there laying his life on the line in the face of the rebel fire from the air as well as from the ground.
When he was promoted to four star general, he resisted pressure from politicians for him to do favors for them in exchange for his confirmation in the Commission on Appointments. He told them that he would rather be turned down in the CA than give in to their "requests". Again, unlike other officers out there who suck up to the politicians just to get elected. Believe me, I've seen that happen first hand.
The fate of our country was not decided over a few games of plastic chips. It was decided by a general and his men risking their lives just so that we can continue with our democratic way of life. If he was rewarded by the people's vote THREE times as Senator, then probably it only means that he has done his part in serving this country.
With regard to what you call his carabao english, well, probably he will never qualify in a call center. But there are many who speak perfect english but will never qualify as a patriot.
correction in the 7th paragraph, 3rd sentence:
ReplyDeleteAgain, unlike other officers out there who suck up to the politicians just to get CONFIRMED (not elected).
dear ruffy, joe quirino is dead, cory is dying and has a terrible dyslexia. dolly n. may no longer with us on earth. monchie will always, be monchie.
ReplyDeleteand about your dad, no doubt about his patriotism, heroism, courage and valor. he is a marine. i am a marine. i know about the coups. i was there too. thank you for the remind. but ask him of logcom, benjie libarnes, the sergeant with the only gun, the hidden house in fort boni and you will know the truth.
ReplyDeleteI should and I will. If you were a marine and were there, then you should know the truth that Mrs. Biazon was not part of Pres. Aquino's mahjong group and that she never plays mahjong. That was the point of my comment , in order to correct the lack of truth in your blog.
ReplyDeleteIf you choose to add more info which needs to be verified, then indeed, I have to ask about it.
there is none that is both interesting and yet, not annoying but will be glad to offer you any new or even old recently discovered truth. in the meantime though it may be wise to dig up a little and you might find china, or perhaps a tiny touch of bile on fabric or flesh? thank you for spending some time on my blog. it is regrettable about the slight. that is the reason for the paging, just in case. hehehe. only the really inquisitive really reach the truth, no?
