New flash: Ninoy Aquino is alive and he and has been seen all over ! the cross country moving companies. Yestrerday was a non-working holiday in observance of the death anniversary of Ninoy Aquino who was shot to death at the former Manila International Airport about 26 years. (August 21, 1983) In the words of former Senate President Jovito Salonga, Ninoy Aquino whose real name was “Benigno Servillano "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr.” was the greatest president that we never had.

In this connection to honor the great man, and in honor of his 26th death anniversary this day, I am coming up with my top ten favorite Ninoy Aquino quotes much as I have come up with my top ten favorite Cory Aquino quotes. I have to extract the quotes in his speeches.

Hillary Clinton angry ! Lost in translation perhaps ?
U.S Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton is angry! That would be putting it mildly, probably the term would be mad or perhaps the best way to describe it is outraged? Who is Hilary Clinton angry at? Well she’s angry at people asking her what does her husband, former President Bill Clinton think about this, or about that. Perhaps she is insecure of the long shadow that her husband has cast upon her political career. (Maybe she is just tired from all the long trips that she took, we should give her the benefit of the doubt) See the youtube video below to see Hilary Clinton angry: Do you think this will happen to the Philippines', First Gentleman Mike Arroyo when in the near future he will perhaps become a cabinet Secretary ? What do you think ? (We should install more video surveillance equipment in Malacanang to find out hehehehe) … [Read more...]
Willie Revillame suspended?
Willie Revillame suspended for his reaction to Cory Aquino’s burial ? I don’t believe it. In fact ABS-CBN denies it and says that Willie Revillame asked for 2 weeks of orlando vacations. If indeed Willie Revillame is suspended, I think it is very unjust of ABS-CBN to do that to him. In fact as I said in my post entitled “In defense of Willie Revillame’s reaction to Cory Aquino’s burial” I believe that Willie Revillame should even be commended for what he did. Whoever is in charge of production or traffic at that time that showed the burial procession with Wowowee should be the one that should be suspended. People are just making a mountain out of a molehill. They are so “outraged” by their misinterpretation of Willie Revillame’s statement. The MTCRB has joined in the craze and said that Willie Revillame violated their code of ethics. (What violation ? They should listen word for word what he is trying to say) There’s an online petition to “oust” him from the show. (Don’t these … [Read more...]
In defense of Willie Revillame’s reaction to Cory Aquino’s burial
Willie Revillame has once again created a controversy. I am not surprised by this since his showbiz career has been very controversial. This time the controversy is focused on Willie Revillame reaction to Cory Aquino’s burial. As we all know Cory Aquino, loved by millions of Filipinos was buried last August 5, 2009. While the funeral procession was going on, ABS-CBN showed the burial procession side be side with the popular variety show WOWOWEE. The format of WOWOWEE is all about having fun. The show is filled with laughter, games and dancing. So imagine this, while the people in the ABS-CBN studio was having fun, shouting, giggling and dancing, the people outside the studio several kilometers away were grieving and crying in the funeral procession of one of our most loved former leader. Worst the funeral procession was shown side by side with WOWOWEE. Talk about that being oxymoronic! In response the show’s host Willie Revillame, reacted to this situation. Here is his … [Read more...]
