Gloria’s (unofficial) mugshots

These are Gloria Arroyo’s mugshots that were released three days ago and caused an uproar in the former president’s camp. The mugshots were taken from mugshots.com but the PNP officers denied that these are not the official mugshots they took during the booking last Saturday. The case code are incorrect and the dimensions are wrong.

But, official or not, it does not matter. What these photos did was to inspire more people to press charges against Gloria and company. There are 20 more plunder and civil cases that are waiting to filed on top of the two that are currently being processed by the courts.

Looks like it’s going to be a merry Christmas for most people, who are now attending sale events and looking for ways to save up from best cigar deals to bazaars best finds. And a really sad one for a president who once said “I am sorry” for getting involve in an election fraud.

When Gloria lost her glory

Gloria Arroyo will go down in history as one of the most hated and controversial political figure this country ever had. Okay, let’s frame it this way – that lying manipulative cheat!

The latest Pinoy Henyo champ

The day of reckoning is now upon her. Payback time, baby. Everyone was not moved by pity, except for a handful of fanatics (like 10% of the population perhaps, if you’d base it on online polls). Although she might echo the same line as she did in 2004 – the famous “I am sorry” (for being caught on tape while giving dubious instructions to Garci) – at least the public is still assured that someone else’s balls would still be cut off. Yesterday’s turn of events is enough to keep the Arroyos haunted for the rest of their lives, with nice novelty t-shirts for souvenir Pinoy Henyo-style (Gloria in her latest crowning glory). Sell them in our airports and make money out of it.

May justice be served…quick. And we want to see more Arroyo & Supreme Court vs. De Lima et al dramatic showdown. John Grisham would be blushing like a school girl.

EDSA 1 in Facebook

At present, revolutionaries who went to the streets demanding change and eventually ousting presidents had their stories told to millions of people around the world over Facebook. Twenty five years ago, back to the place where the first bloodless revolution started and the only breakthrough known, aside from hair loss products, was astronauts going to Uranus, there were only radios, telephones and TV’s to rely on. Here’s the million dollar question: How would have the 1986 EDSA People Power turned out if there was Facebook or Twitter? What sort of entries would you expect to read?

GMA7 News created a Facebook page for EDSA, including profiles of known personalities of that time:

Cory created an invitation to Ninoy’s funeral. Over a million members confirmed their attendance.
