[glow=red,2,300]Susan ready to replace GMA
By Christina Mendez
The Philippine Star 06/30/2005
An angry Susan Roces yesterday declared her readiness to lead the country and replace President Arroyo if she decides to step down from office.
Roces also rejected Mrs. Arroyo’s apology to the nation and demanded her resignation, calling it "the most honorable thing to do."
The popular actress said during an interview with GMA-7 last night that she was willing to take on the role as the nation’s leader.
"Kung kinakailangan, pangangatawanan ko at sama-sama tayo (If there is a need to, I will do so and we will all do so)," Roces said.
Roces, the widow of Fernando Poe Jr., earlier called a news conference in which she accused Mrs. Arroyo of stealing the 2004 election from her popular actor-husband, who died of a stroke last December.
"The gravest thing that you (Mrs. Arroyo) have done is that you have stolen the presidency, not once, but twice," Roces shouted during the news conference at the Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan.
Malacañang rejected Roces’ calls for the President to step down, saying this would be "unacceptable."
Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye maintained that Mrs. Arroyo did not cheat in the elections.
The President broke her silence Monday following a three-week-old scandal over wiretapped recordings, apologizing for her "lapse of judgment" in calling an election official about protecting a million-vote victory margin.
In a televised speech, Mrs. Arroyo apologized for her actions, denied vote-rigging and reiterated her refusal to resign.
Roces, however, said she found the President to be "insincere" during her televised speech last Monday.
She said Mrs. Arroyo did not display courage in admitting to her mistake. ("That is not) courage, but tapang ng apog na magsinungaling (the gall to tell a lie)."
"She (Mrs. Arroyo) can lie through her teeth with a straight face," she told GMA’s Arnold Clavio in the later interview.
Earlier, Roces told a news conference at Club Filipino that Mrs. Arroyo had lost the trust and confidence of the Filipino people.
Roces rejected outright the President’s apology, saying Mrs. Arroyo "has done enough damage to our country. She has put our country to shame."
Asked if she would lead protest actions to force Mrs. Arroyo’s resignation, Roces said: "We will get there. It depends how hardheaded this President is."
Cheering supporters chanted Roces’ name and showered her with rose petals as she spoke at the top of her voice, slamming the President during the news conference.
"She (Mrs. Arroyo) is arrogant. She did not consider the feelings of the majority," the actress blurted.
"She violated the law and she kept it secret. We would not have known about it if the (wiretap) tapes had not been revealed," she said.
"May kasabihan tayong mga Pilipino, Ang sinungaling ay kapatid ng magnanakaw (We have a saying in Filipino that a liar is also the sibling of a thief)!"
"I am sorry that I cannot accept your apology," she added, directing her diatribe at the President. "You eroded the trust and confidence of the people. You have no moral authority to lead."

Mag-imbestiga at Alamin ang KATOTOHANAN!
Kilalanin ang mga personalidad na nagbabato ng akusasyon sa
administrasyon ni HELLO GARCI!!!!!!
1. Wilfredo "Boy" Mayor
· Jueteng witness who admits to being a former operator of
jueteng in the Bicol Region.
· He claims to have given Monthly Jueteng Payola to bagmen of
Congressman Mikey Arroyo.
· He was an opposition candidate for Mayor in Daraga, Albay in
the 2004 elections. He lost the elections.
· Mayor admits that he has no evidence to show that the money he
claims to have given these bagmen went to Congressman Mikey Arroyo
2. Richard Garcia
· Jueteng witness who is a self-confessed former operator of the
illegal numbers game in the Bicol Region.
· He claims to have given Monthly Jueteng Payola to bagmen of
Congressman Mikey Arroyo. He admits that he has no evidence to show
that the money he claims to have given these bagmen went to
Congressman Mikey Arroyo
· A former member of the PC-INP and a known "asset" of Ping Lacson
3. Sandra Cam
· She claims to have personally given Jueteng Payola to Congressman
Mikey Arroyo and Congressman Iggy Arroyo at the Congress Session hall
(while Congress was in session). She claims to have deposited Jueteng Payola
for former Region 5 Regional Director Gen. Restituto Mosqueda.
· Ran for Mayor in Masbate under Reforma in the 2004 elections and lost.
· Has a pending illegal recruitment case and pending large-scale estafa cases
· Known in Bicol to have engaged in all possible illegal activities
and to be "close" to generals previously assigned in the Bicol
region. The staff of known hotels in Bicol would know this.
· Reportedly a lover of Governor Tony Kho
· linked to several election-related incidents, including
dynamiting houses of political opponents, kidnapping and murder.
· In her testimony before the Senate, Cam admitted to being a
supporter of Governor Tony Kho, who has been charged with
masterminding the killing of Representative Tito Espinosa. The case
is still pending in court.
4. Archbishop Oscar Cruz
· Says that it is his personal advocacy to stop Jueteng
· His name never came out during the 2000 impeachment trial where
jueteng was a key issue. If it is the archbishop's personal advocacy
to stop jueteng, why is it only now that Archbishop Cruz is coming
out with all these witnesses and accusations ?
· Previously hugged the headlines when he accused Pagcor chairman
Efraim Genuino of using female employees of Pagcor as GRO's or Guest
Relations Officer during a birthday celebration of First Gentleman
Mike Arroyo. This was denied by the Pagcor chairman and the female
employees themselves who apparently were with their families during
the said birthday celebration. Archbisop Cruz made an apology to the
families of the Pagcor female employees.
5. Alan Paguia
· He initially claimed to be the source of the audio tape
· Known to be a former lawyer of Erap and reportedly gets a monthly
salary of 1 Million pesos a month from the detained former president
· License as a lawyer was suspended by the Supreme Court
· His credibility and background was being questioned; and more
critical, was his own admission that he made the annotation and
thereby tampered with the original audio tape.
6. Samuel Ong
· Former NBI deputy director
· Came out on National TV on June 10 and claimed that he was the
source of the original copy of the audio tape and that it was given
to him by an Intelligence official (ISAFP) who was later identified
as Tech. Sgt. Vidal Doble. Doble claims that he was offered 2
Million pesos and his family was threatened by Ong.
· Ong had often organized mass actions to support his ambition to
be director of the NBI.
· During the NBI investigation of the Dacer-Corbito murder case,
the principal suspect Superintendent Teofilo Vina who could link Ping
Lacson to the case was killed in Cavite in January 1993. It is known
that Ong who was still influential then as deputy director had a hand
in this to get Lacson of the hook. During the 2004 elections, he was
ordered by Lacson to join the FPJ camp to serve as Lacson's eyes and ears.
· He said that he fears for his life. One would wonder how these
words would come from a person who once aspired to be an NBI
director. He chose a career in the National Bureau of Investigation
that entails agents to confront death threats on a daily basis. Was
the media presentation, with Ong almost crying out of fear for his
life and character actor Rez Cortez beside him a mere "sarzuela". WE
SHOULD TAKE NOTE THAT SINCE PGMA BECAME PRESIDENT, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A CASE OF AN EXECUTION OR PROLONGED INCARCERATION OF ANY OF HER CIVILIAN CRITICS INSPITE OF THE FACT THAT A LOT THESE CRITICS HAVE GONE OVERBOARD.
7. Jose Marie Gonzalez - "voice expert"
· Media's so called electronics and communications expert who
initially said that the audio tapes were authentic and not tampered.
What audio tape was he referring to when Paguia's version was
(according to Paguia himself) recorded with annotation and thus was
tampered. The other "so-called original" version was only released
by Ong on June 10, 2004.
· A former congressman and well-known Erap supporter
· He slapped the house sargeant-at-arms in front of national TV
during the transmittal of the impeachment complaint against Erap in
late 2000.
· Was given a house in Subic and a brand new red Lincoln Navigator
during Erap's presidency.
· Reportedly got 10 million from Mayor JV Ejercito for coming out
with his "expert opinion" on the audio tape.
8. Senator Nene Pimentel
· Senate President during the Erap administration.
· resigned from then majority party when the envelope containing
the Jose Velarde account was not allowed to be opened by majority of
senate members.
· Held the Bible during PGMA's oath taking at Edsa 2.
· Went back to criticizing PGMA when he was not chosen as Vice
President after EDSA 2.
· His No. 1 soldier is his long time ally in PDP Laban - Mayor
Jejomar Binay. During EDSA 2, Binay brought in the goons to
intimidate protesters from the business community in Makati. Since
then, Makati has been the site of destabilization attempts against
PGMA namely the Coup/Mutiny in Oakwood and their planned EDSA 4 in
San Carlos last June 11. Binay was one of the first people seen in
San Carlos Seminary.
· Still has ambitions to be president.
9. Senator Ping Lacson
· He once said that he despised and he never wants to be a politician.
· He is on his 2nd term as senator and he ran for president during
the 2004 elections
· has always portrayed a clean, incorruptible image. he always says
that he never took a single centavo from illegal means, jueteng
included. He has also boasts of not utilizing his pork barrel.
· Most generous when it comes to "envelopmental journalism". Lacson
has a pool of media personnel on a monthly payola. Lacson's most
effective media tool is mass-based publication Abante where Ping
Lacson writes in a regular column. Mr. Allen Macasaet, Owner of
Abante, reportedly has been receiving 5 million pesos a month from
Ping Lacson since 2003 . 37 year old Allen Macasaet, lives in posh
Ayala Alabang and reportedly owns a Ferrari(worth 12 Million), a BMW
9 series (worth 11 Million), a Porsche 911 (worth 10 Million), a
Jaguar (worth 8 million), a Range Rover (worth 9 million), two
Chevrolet Suburbans (worth 2.5 Million each), a Ford E150 Chateau
Van, and a Honda Accord - all purchased brand new. Perhaps, his
neighbors in Ayala Alabang can attest to Mr. Allen Macasaet's
ownership of these luxury vehicles. NO WONDER 95% OF ABANTE
HEADLINES IS ANTI-PGMA
· Now comes the Million Dollar Question ? Where does Senator
Ping Lacson (who boasts that he does not get his PhP 200 Million a
year "pork barrel fund) get funding to finance a successful senate
campaign, a decent but unsuccessful presidential campaign, and still
afford a very generous media payola
· He has been linked to kidnap-for-ransom of rich Fil-Chinese
nationals, illegal drug trafficking, Kuratong-Baleleng massacre,
Dacer-Corbito slay.
· In 1993, Ping Lacson reportedly was getting the biggest monthly
payola from jueteng lord and convicted rapist-murderer Mayor Antonio
Sanchez of Calauan, Laguna. Thus, the attempt to cover-up Mayor
Sanchez's crime by initially pointing to Kit Alqueza , son of general
Dictador Alqueza, as the mastermind of the celebrated rape-slay of
Aileen Sarmenta and boyfriend Allan Gomez. Ping Lacson was then head
of PACC who presented the young Kit Alqueza to then vice-president
Erap Estrada and media.
· Ping Lacson has had access to suppliers of wire-tapping devices
as early as his PACC days. During a raid of the CIDG after EDSA 2,
wire-tapping devices purchased during Ping Lacson's term as PNP chief
were confiscated from camp crame and stored in CIDG's warehouse.
Said confiscated devices remain stored in the CIDG warehouse until
this day.
· With his seemingly infinite monetary resources and political
clout as 2nd termer senator, it is highly probable that Ping Lacson
himself owns the latest model of wire-tapping/ bugging devices.
· Even with the exposure of his links to people behind the audio
tape, he was still the one who had the tape authenticated by a
private australian firm.
· He came out with the results from the Australian firm on the
night Friday, June 10. How could he have gotten a copy of the
original when Sammy Ong (who claims to be acting on his own and says
he does not know Ping Lacson) only surfaced with the so-called
original copy on the afternoon of June 10 ? The previously claimed
original was the annotated and tampered version of Alan Paguia.
· Ping Lacson's former men in the PACC that could implicate him in
his criminal activities are either dead (Supt. John Campos, Supt.
Teofilo Viña, Kit Mateo) or hiding in the US ( Michael Ray Aquino and
Cesar Mancao). Lacson quickly points to his enemies as behind the
execution of his former trusted aides. If this allegation were true,
why would Lacson's enemies target his men instead of killing him
(Lacson). The fact is Lacson ordered the execution and hiding of his
former men before the May 2004 elections to make sure that no one
could directly implicate Lacson in his criminal activities. Perhaps
Samuel Ong should fear Lacson as Ong is also a person who could
implicate Lacson in the present destabilization moves.
· After the 2004 elections, Ping Lacson became supportive of PGMA's
government and even did not join the opposition's protest actions
during FPJ's wake. He believed then that if he behaved this way, he
would be a sure bet for President come 2010. However, he again
started to be PGMA's biggest critic recently. Perhaps PGMA's illegal
drugs campaign which has closed down the most number of Shabu
Laboratories in recent years and anti-kidnapping campaign is already
affecting Lacson's treasure chest and he fears that by 2010, his
funds would not be enough to run a successful presidential campaign
against a popular Mar Roxas.
10. Erap, Jinggoy, Loi and JV Ejercito
· They clearly want one thing : to exact revenge on PGMA
· This is very evident at how Senator Jinggoy and Loi have been
grandstanding during the senate inquiry on jueteng.
· Senator Jinggoy and San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito were one of the
first people to join Sammy Ong ( who said that he was acting on his
own and the he was calling on Ms. Susan Roces to join him) in San
Jose Seminary. They were interviewed over ANC and both Jinggoy and
JV attacked PGMA and repeatedly said that the opposition had an
executive committee, with ERAP as ex-officio chairman, that was ready
to replace the administration " in case we are miraculously swept into power".
We Filipinos should investigate further why key people coming out with all
these accusations and calls on PGMA to step down have in one way or the
other been linked to leaders in the opposition like Ping Lacson or Erap.
We should not take everything that media comes out with as absolute truths
since it is already our country's future that is being threatened by these people.
During the wake of FPJ last year, it was already reported that the
opposition was hatching a plan to bring down the Arroyo administration.
The opposition clearly wanted to use FPJ's death to bring down PGMA. Susan
Roces herself mentioned to a confidant during the wake that some
opposition leaders then were convincing her to lead them in bringing down
PGMA.
If indeed the opposition had in its possession the audio tape that they
claim to be a phone conversation made immediately after the May 2004
elections between PGMA and Comelec Commissioner Garcilliano, why did they
not come out with the audio tape during the wake or burial of FPJ when
millions of FPJ mourners were out on the streets ? It could have easily
resulted to an early end to the Arroyo administration. Perhaps they were
still working on the tape with their "expert engineers" during that time.
The people behind the efforts to bring down PGMA have not succeeded in
spite of the desperate moves they have made primarily because they have
never been united . They have several leaders who all want to be
acknowledged as the legitimate and the unanimous opposition leader. There
is Erap and his families who want to regain lost glory and power; there is
a Ping Lacson who despises politicians and yet desperately aims to be
president; and there is Nene Pimentel who still dreams of becoming
president which he hopes would happen before his eye bugs covers his face.
All these destabilization moves is a result of the individual aspirations
of these people to grab power.
Susan Roces has experienced this when the opposition could not even unite
behind a strong FPJ during the 2004 elections. She experienced this during
her husband's wake and burial when public sympathy was there but again the
opposition was not united. She experienced this during the opposition's
planned call for an EDSA 4 last June 11 when according to her confidant,
the opposition were still fighting among themselves even during the early
hours of June 11 on what moves to take. At around 2:30 am of June 11,
Senator Ping Lacson, Senator Jinggoy Estrada, Senator Serge Osmeña, Senator
Jamby Madrigal and Mayor Binay were in Manila Peninsula Hotel in Makati
discussing their next steps but still arguing on the details as well as to
who would be their leader when they succeed in bringing down PGMA. Susan
Roces was supposed to call for their supporters to March to the streets.
According to her confidant, Susan Roces just decided to call for sobriety
and just manifest her moral support for Sammy Ong out of disgust over the
opposition's squabbling.
The opposition's plan for another EDSA did not and will not succeed because
the people know the opposition's motives. Of the many witnesses paraded in
the Senate Inquiry and media, not a single person would pass as a "credible witness".
According to the UP College of Psychology, the typical characteristics
of a CREDIBLE WITNESS are :
1) The witness is close to the person being accused
· A good example given by the UP College of Psychology is Governor Chavit Singson
who was part of Erap's inner circle or "midnight cabinet". He was very close to the Erap and
practically knew the day-to-day activities of the former president which made him a credible witness in the impeachment trial.
2) The witness has an untainted moral background
· A good example given by the UP College of Psychology
was Clarissa Ocampo who testified that Erap signed the name Jose Velarde in front of her.
Clarissa Ocampo was then Vice President of Equitable-PCI Bank with an unblemished record of
integrity and professionalism.

· Ping Lacson's former men in the PACC that could implicate him in
his criminal activities are either dead (Supt. John Campos, Supt.
Teofilo Viña, Kit Mateo) or hiding in the US ( Michael Ray Aquino and
Cesar Mancao). Lacson quickly points to his enemies as behind the
execution of his former trusted aides. If this allegation were true,
why would Lacson's enemies target his men instead of killing him
(Lacson). The fact is Lacson ordered the execution and hiding of his
former men before the May 2004 elections to make sure that no one
could directly implicate Lacson in his criminal activities. Perhaps
Samuel Ong should fear Lacson as Ong is also a person who could
implicate Lacson in the present destabilization moves.
· After the 2004 elections, Ping Lacson became supportive of PGMA's
government and even did not join the opposition's protest actions
during FPJ's wake. He believed then that if he behaved this way, he
would be a sure bet for President come 2010. However, he again
started to be PGMA's biggest critic recently. Perhaps PGMA's illegal
drugs campaign which has closed down the most number of Shabu
Laboratories in recent years and anti-kidnapping campaign is already
affecting Lacson's treasure chest and he fears that by 2010, his
funds would not be enough to run a successful presidential campaign
against a popular Mar Roxas.
10. Erap, Jinggoy, Loi and JV Ejercito
· They clearly want one thing : to exact revenge on PGMA
· This is very evident at how Senator Jinggoy and Loi have been
grandstanding during the senate inquiry on jueteng.
· Senator Jinggoy and San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito were one of the
first people to join Sammy Ong ( who said that he was acting on his
own and the he was calling on Ms. Susan Roces to join him) in San
Jose Seminary. They were interviewed over ANC and both Jinggoy and
JV attacked PGMA and repeatedly said that the opposition had an
executive committee, with ERAP as ex-officio chairman, that was ready
to replace the administration " in case we are miraculously swept into power".
We Filipinos should investigate further why key people coming out with all
these accusations and calls on PGMA to step down have in one way or the
other been linked to leaders in the opposition like Ping Lacson or Erap.
We should not take everything that media comes out with as absolute truths
since it is already our country's future that is being threatened by these people.
During the wake of FPJ last year, it was already reported that the
opposition was hatching a plan to bring down the Arroyo administration.
The opposition clearly wanted to use FPJ's death to bring down PGMA. Susan
Roces herself mentioned to a confidant during the wake that some
opposition leaders then were convincing her to lead them in bringing down
PGMA.
If indeed the opposition had in its possession the audio tape that they
claim to be a phone conversation made immediately after the May 2004
elections between PGMA and Comelec Commissioner Garcilliano, why did they
not come out with the audio tape during the wake or burial of FPJ when
millions of FPJ mourners were out on the streets ? It could have easily
resulted to an early end to the Arroyo administration. Perhaps they were
still working on the tape with their "expert engineers" during that time.
The people behind the efforts to bring down PGMA have not succeeded in
spite of the desperate moves they have made primarily because they have
never been united . They have several leaders who all want to be
acknowledged as the legitimate and the unanimous opposition leader. There
is Erap and his families who want to regain lost glory and power; there is
a Ping Lacson who despises politicians and yet desperately aims to be
president; and there is Nene Pimentel who still dreams of becoming
president which he hopes would happen before his eye bugs covers his face.
All these destabilization moves is a result of the individual aspirations
of these people to grab power.
Susan Roces has experienced this when the opposition could not even unite
behind a strong FPJ during the 2004 elections. She experienced this during
her husband's wake and burial when public sympathy was there but again the
opposition was not united. She experienced this during the opposition's
planned call for an EDSA 4 last June 11 when according to her confidant,
the opposition were still fighting among themselves even during the early
hours of June 11 on what moves to take. At around 2:30 am of June 11,
Senator Ping Lacson, Senator Jinggoy Estrada, Senator Serge Osmeña, Senator
Jamby Madrigal and Mayor Binay were in Manila Peninsula Hotel in Makati
discussing their next steps but still arguing on the details as well as to
who would be their leader when they succeed in bringing down PGMA. Susan
Roces was supposed to call for their supporters to March to the streets.
According to her confidant, Susan Roces just decided to call for sobriety
and just manifest her moral support for Sammy Ong out of disgust over the
opposition's squabbling.
The opposition's plan for another EDSA did not and will not succeed because
the people know the opposition's motives. Of the many witnesses paraded in
the Senate Inquiry and media, not a single person would pass as a "credible witness".
According to the UP College of Psychology, the typical characteristics
of a CREDIBLE WITNESS are :
1) The witness is close to the person being accused
· A good example given by the UP College of Psychology is Governor Chavit Singson
who was part of Erap's inner circle or "midnight cabinet". He was very close to the Erap and
practically knew the day-to-day activities of the former president which made him a credible witness in the impeachment trial.
2) The witness has an untainted moral background
· A good example given by the UP College of Psychology
was Clarissa Ocampo who testified that Erap signed the name Jose Velarde in front of her.
Clarissa Ocampo was then Vice President of Equitable-PCI Bank with an unblemished record of
integrity and professionalism.
MAG-IMBESTIGA AT ALAMIN NATIN ANG KATOTOHANAN !!!
