DIPO Chief Poldo Bataoil denied vigorously . . . Oplan August Moon . . . an alleged coup plot by the planned replacement of the present hierarchy of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, with officers loyal to Arroyo.
Such plan though farfetched could not be disregarded because in spite of denials, it should be given attention on the grounds Arroyo has that megalomaniacal dreams relating to Napoleonic implications.
Heretofore, the Little Bugger Arroyo's foray in the legality of change like Con-Ass couldn't be achieved, then such punch in the rarefied world of coup d’etat is the only way out in her search of perpetual power.
Here comes August Moon, an operational plan designed for Arroyo's demand of feminine grasp to masculinity. It meant to be implemented on the 15th of August after the Chinese harvest season with a big feast with mooncakes related to Arroyo's face shape.
Is it improbable, that such wicked and feckless cling to power can materialized? With Pinoy's neglect to self respect and the rule of law everything is possible to happen.
The way things are looking up, she has the guts to gamble knowing the Marcos experience did not change the political landscape.
Her ace in the hole is the extreme idiocy of Filipinos who seem to forget easily what happened yesterday and completely ignore what will happen tomorrow.
Badmouthing GMA?

Gonzalo Duque, Doctor of Humanities would like us to believe that inquiring about the too frequent trips of PGMA is badmouthing. Either he is a certified ‘sipsip-buto’ or whoever awarded the honorary doctorate degree made a grave mistake.

Just a political fantasy?

D'Gonz should speak loud and clear!
The founding of Pangasinan . . . a done deal?
Are you really that serious?
You're forewarned this founding should be acceptable with conformity on written historical facts.
Other than that it's just a political fantasy coming from the infertile minds at Urduja.
Cross your fingers it wouldn't blow in your face.

Mr. Ray U. Bravo:
If I am not mistaken, if my gray cells still works, this great idea of yours was discussed a few moons back concerning the walling of "Fernandez City" ala Holland.
It won't work.
Firstly, the city doesn’t have the money and the brains to handle a gargantuan project.
An example. The Arellano Street drainage and road elevation project which City Administrator Alvin (Cheapmunk) Fernandez now admitted is for traffic flow not for flood control, is the most in mismanagement. Tell that to the people living along the route who suffered long enough in the constant flooding every time the monsoons start as promised.
Secondly, there's not enough dough in the national coffers just to address a city plagued by corruption and ineptitude.
Thirdly, let Bangus City sink in its own filth.
Note: This city is owned by the Fernandez conglomerate. You have Alipio – the Mayor . . . Alvin, the Cheapmunk – the pro-consul, and two kagawads in the City Council. Also, an army of no-good-sleeping-on-the-job patronage workers from the Fernandez-Reyna-Llamas political machine.
Belen – the Vice Mayor, is not related to the mayor by blood. Having a Fernandez name is pure business not personal. It's the thing to do to have a name in the right place at the right time.

From Ernest and family.
Just read from GD's column about the passing away of Ito Villamil, a close relative.
We join in the praying for the repose of Ito's soul and for the comfort of his family, our relatives.
Unjust treatment

Guy Solis Behrick,
The city had that much power to just dump basura in your front yard without due process?
You scared me since the Solis family is one the timbers of the city and the city could do such a thing? It surely would be unjust in a country like the Philippines with I think strong laws on private ownership.
Coming from Bonuan we all wish that dumpsite is not in our backyard for the rest of the city to share their trash within our barangay.
We wanted the shore to be clean and attractive to tourist so we dream one day for smart people to help with our dilemma.
Thanks for sharing and the clarification.
A threat to Mabini

Re: OPAL tapping river for potable water
Mabini in the first place is having a shortage of potable water supply and I think the Balincaguin River does not deserve to suffer the same fate as the Sabangan and Quibuar River.
Mabini is the lone municipality in western Pangasinan without a coast, the river being our heritage and lifeblood should not be drained or sold. They should first study the sustainability of the river before utilizing it to this project or else salt water intrusion will occur just like Alaminos did to their own aquifer as we all know Balincaguin River drains to the Agno Bay.
Furthermore, upstream of the river, the hills where the tributaries meanders and collects the water is bare and bald. We badly need to reforest our watershed.
Mabini is not a 'milking cow' and it’s even hard to believe that Mayor Nani Braganza, a native of our town would be the architect of turning our only body of water into a wasteland. It’s a shame.
Ang love ni Rachel – District 3!

Aklat, tulay sa karunungan!
By Pauline
Kung ako ay nasa ibang bansa, at ipinakikilala bilang "the congresswoman from District 3 of Pangasinan", pakiramdamdam ko ako ay hindi lamang representatanteng kumakatawan sa inyo. Pakiramdam ko, kasama ko kayong lahat.
Ani Kongresista Rachel "Baby" Arenas, at sabay nyang niyakap ng tingin at ngiti ang mga mag-aaral, guro, principals at matataas na opisyal ng Department of Education, Division of Pangasinan 1, Calasiao District 1 at 2. Ang kanyang pagkukwento ay kanyang itinahi sa pahina ng kanyang mensahe sa Turn-over Ceremony ng kanyang mga donasyong aklat para sa kanyang proyektong Textbook Walk, isa lamang sa kanyang kasagutan sa kakulangan ng babasahin sa mga public schools.
Ang seremonyas ay naganap noong ika-siyam ng Hunyo ng taong ito, ang ikalawang araw ng aking pag-dokumento sa kanyang pagdalaw sa ilang bayang nasasakupan ng Distrito 3.
Karamihan sa mga aklat ay patungkol sa science at math (kaliwa).
Ang mga estudyante ng Calasiao Central School ay mangha
kay Kong Rachel at sa mga donasyong aklat tinatanggap nila.
Kasama ni Kong Rachel (kaliwa) sina Mayor Roy Macanlalay ng Calasiao,
Division Superintendent Aurora Domingo, Asst. Division Superintendent
Sheila Marie Sison, District Supervisors Thelma Royeca at Cresencio Aficial ,
Councilor/Education Chairman Emmannuel Manipud, ABC President
Joseph Arman Bauzon, Brgy. Capt. Willie Sotto, CCS PTCA President
Flora dela Fuente at Calasiao Central School Principal Lydia Hizon.
Ayon kay Kong Rachel, halos isang bilyon na, o eksaktong 880 milyon mula sa kanyang pondo, mula sa kanyang pamilya, at mula sa tulong ng Pangulong Gloria Macapagal Arroyo ang kanya nang naipundar para sa infrastructure at iba pang development projects sa Ikatlong Distrito, at 330 milyon nito ay napunta sa ikagaganda ng kaayusan at ikabubuti ng Calasiao at ng kanyang mga mamamayan.
At ang mga programa at proyektong ito ay hindi itulak-kabigin ng pamumulitika. Paulit-ulit na nawika na ni Kong Rachel na ang politika ay panandalian lamang nguni't ang pagkakaibigan ay magpahanggang-kailan paman.
Sana, sa huling taon na ito ng aking paglililingkod, ang inyong pakikipagkaibigan, ang inyong pagmamahal, ay buong puso na ninyong maibibigay, anya pang may pagka-pilyang dagdag na sambit.
Ilan sa mga principals, head teachers at guro: Principal Manuel
Cabatbat ng Buenlag Elementary School, Principal Pacita Caron
ng Macabito Elem. Sch., Principal Carmen Mendoza ng Longos ES,
Principal Josefina Palaganas ng Nalsian-Bacayao ES, Principal
Rose Basa ng San Miguel ES, Principal Carmencita Fernandez ng
Balani-Parongkong ES, Principal Lydia Buccat ng Doyong-Malabago
ES, Head Teacher Teresita Uson ng Idoldol ES, HT Gina Javier
ng Lumbang ES, HT Blesilda Alegria ng Doyong Centro ES, HT
Mercedes Arenas ng Mancup ES, HT Elena Velasco ng Ambonao ES.
Bilang pasasalamat, ang mga principals at
guro ay naghandog ng bulaklak (itaas)
at awitin (kaliwa) kay Kong Rachel.. Pagkatapos nito,
siempre (kanan) picture! picture! sabay display ng kanilang
inihandang banderitas na We love you, Rachel!
