She is incorrigible! ADs in facebook? Who’s paying???

Since when did Imanhorn become a Gloria critic. HMM

Been covering her SONA lies I mean speech and her misdeed during Ondoy and swallowing vomit.

And she never fails to disgust me. While our nation is scrambling to procure emergency disaster funds which she apparently guzzled up during her travels abroad, she sinks to an all time low with her facebook ad.

How much does a facebook ad costs? It depends, but starting up an ad costs $5 and additional costs for targetting a population (Her ads have been appearing in Mindanao) and the costs rise as more people click on the ads or view the ads.  To summarize it up, GMA is set to burn serious money for a face book ad. If she goes CPC, every click costs like any where from $0.1 to $0.7 if she goes CPM, the costs being higher as she would have to pay for ever 1000 views. Facebook has nearly 3 million users and climbing so imagine the pesos to dollars the ad has to pay.

And if she serves bull crap that the ad is made by her detractrors, maybe I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, that is, if she says sorry.

How can you tell if a Philippine President is lying? (a.k.a. SONA 2009 Lies)

She holds a SONA!

Some part of my mind kept tickling me. Tickle as in being brushed by thorns and suddenly I remembered an earlier post! Talk about swallowing your word, GMA must have indigestion by now.

Excerpt form the SONA 2009 of GMA

(sarcastic applause) As a country in the path of typhoons and in the Pacific Rim of Fire, we must be prepared as the latest technology permits to anticipate natural calamities when that is possible; to extend immediate and effective relief when it is not; the mapping of flood-and-landslide-prone areas is almost complete. Early warning, forecasting and monitoring systems have been improved, with weather-tracking facilities in Subic, Tagaytay, Mactan, Mindanao, Pampanga. We have worked on flood control infrastructure like those for Pinatubo, Agno, Laoag, and Abucay, which will pump the run off waters from Quezon City and Tondo flooding Sampaloc. This will help relieve hundreds of hectares in this old city of its age-old woe. (sarcastic applause) Patuloy naman yung sa CAMANAVA, dagdag sa Pinatubo, Iloilo, Pasig-Marikina, Bicol River Basin, at saka river basin ng Mindanao.

One word… ONDOY

Ondoy aftermath throws back GMA’s word and promises, swallows them up and vomits it back again.

Dunno if this is all true, but Inquirer is a national newspaper.

The promise/words swallowed, gulped, devoured, chomped etc.

Palace to do repacking only; long lines irk Arroyo

MANILA, Philippines—She ordered the Palace thrown open to the common folk, and was annoyed at what she saw.

A long stretch of impoverished Filipinos peeking through the gates of the Kalayaan compound under the intense afternoon heat was the sight that greeted President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo a day after she issued her unprecedented order.

It was apparently the closest that her staff could get to the planned National Relief Operations Center on the Palace grounds to help victims of Tropical Storm “Ondoy” (international codename: Ketsana).

The President beheld the scene when she arrived at Kalayaan Hall at around 1:30 p.m. from a Cabinet meeting in Camp Aguinaldo. Her face turning sour, she ordered the Palace guards to immediately let the people in.

Hermogenes Esperon, Ms Arroyo’s chief of staff, tried to downplay his boss’ annoyance, saying: “She just didn’t want to see the people lined up outside.”

About an hour later, the number of people expecting relief goods swelled to around 500. Many of them were women and kids dressed in tattered clothes and slippers.

An old man in a wheelchair fell in line, at the end of which volunteers distributed nothing more than hamburger buns.

Repacking center only

Esperon said there was an apparent miscommunication: Malacañang was not supposed to be an evacuation center, as was announced on Monday.

“This is a repacking center, meaning we will receive donations, repack them, then send them to evacuation centers where the flood victims are,” he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. “If they want to receive relief goods, they should go to the evacuation centers.”

But it was Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita who announced that offices at the Kalayaan buildings could be used to temporarily house flood victims.

To avoid disappointing those who came, many of whom were from communities just outside Malacañang, volunteers handed out pieces of bread and soft drinks.

By 3:30 p.m., most of them were filing out of Kalayaan.

Another Internet Troll | “When I saw the videos of the Manila people swimming in their own trashes, it delights me.”

Post by another troller, I just hope by this time, the Filipino community now have a better understanding of a troll as posted in my previous post UglyYuBin Troll in twitter.

Now before people rush to flood  the troller’s multiply site whose first post was made Sept. 26, 2009 here is how spot a troll and dealing with trolls.

Calamity Preparation | Once is a disaster, twice is unpreparedness, thrice is stupidity

I still remember after the eruption of Mount Pinatubo, I barely left the pier riding on the boat going for Cagayan de Oro. I still had no idea what a disaster was because they shielded me very well and spent my time safely on Super Ferry and my Aunts and cousin who were left behind experienced the whole thing.

They came to live in CDO after the incident and with them they bought advice, information that was a bit too late but I think will be useful in the future. I really wonder why people forgot about this. My aunts bought with them information on stocking a FIRST AID KITS, Calamity identification and Mental, Physical and Spiritual Preparation.

7 deadly Crocodiles on the loose, Ondoy storm aftermath!

And it has happened, crocodiles of the barong tagalog wearing kind have invaded the concrete jungle and are starting to show their fangs as well as crocodiles of the muddy deep have risen! Said crocodiles aren’t limited to the Gucci bag class but also crocs who don’t hesitate in eating their own kind.

The 7 deadly Crocodiles of the Ondoy Aftermath

1.) Crocodiles of greed, you see them floating around wet markets. After the DTI and DA left, they suddenly jacked up the prices of meats, vegetables and other commodities by as much as 15-30 Pesos increase.

2.) Crocodiles of gluttony, repacked relief goods making them smaller before giving to the needy. Some crocs of gluttony also cleaned store shelves as they bought supplies they could possibly consume for 1 month.

3.) Crocodiles of sloth, we’re apathetic crocs who didn’t move to help. Some  crocs took their sweet time getting to areas of need and rescue.

4.) Crocodiles of pride, pasted their names and faces on relief goods, made claim stubs with their names and even commercials about how they helped people.

5.) Crocodiles of wrath, vented anger on small things instead of helping others and blaming others blaming all except self and even bashing innocent people here and their and even at their own crocodile kind

6.) Crocodiles of envy, looted neighbors, abandoned houses, stores without remorse, jacked cars, stole from the dead.

7.) Crocodiles of lust…  missing so far, very well behaved crocodile.

There you have it, the seven deadly crocodiles! Now question is, which one are you?

Up next 7 heroes of the Ondoy rescue!

Whew what a hectic day yesterday!

Points of clarification. I’m not related at all to heavily mentioned FB user Jacque Bermejo, I just feel what few bloggers felt. She was a victim.

I also felt what majority felt, there are other things that should be on focus right now and that is the aftermath of Ondoy rather than venting hatred at some unknown woman. I’d rather waste time for the unknown dead who still have to be buried, the unknown dying and suffering yet to receive help, the unknown heroes some of which probably died in saving people.

After all, I am one of the pinoys who wants a change!

Final Update : Jacque Bermejo’s Innocence

I understand the feelings of most of the pinoys who reacted. In fact, they are storming Ms. Bermejo’s alleged multiply site with the name STARFISHBUANG created last January 2009 with posts only up to June 2009 if the uploads are to be believed. The multiply account is besieged by patriotic pinoys and some well, pinoys who forgot the lesson “Respect for women” which I believe and hope is still a value among us pinoys.

Fast reading through 300+ pages of comments looking for clues bore fruit. In fact, all 300 pages of comments were riddled with trolls! Read more to learn what a TROLL really is.

GMA drained P800 million emergency fund, now Philippines relies on donations!

This article was written by By Jess Diaz (The Philippine Star) Updated August 15, 2009 12:00 AM

I repeat, AUGUST 15, 2009! So in no way was it written as a negative article in relation to Bagyong Ondoy last SEPTEMBER 26, 2009. It just shows how inept her skills are. It’s shaming to know that our Goverment is now scrambling to obtain funds (and rely on the private sector) after losing P800 million intended for emergencies just because of her dubious unliquidated foreign trips. Full article reposted here

Jacque Bermejo being truthful is different from tactless

UPDATE! She’s a victim of haters lang. Read this post!

What a tactless woman. FYI Dubai isn’t faring well in the world market. Just because you’re living in someplace outside of the Philippines doesn’t set you ABOVE us. The way you said it implies that you’re not a sinner. Epal naman girl.

UPDATE: Jacque Bermejo and her infamous statement actually came from the Facebook Fanpage Definitely Filipino! Such irony and stupidity!
