Discovery Suites na naman?

Sunday Quickies:
  • 2 Marine officers resign over Esperon appointment


  • Sigaw, Son of Satan? Is that you Damien?


  • Randy David: The legitimacy crisis and its effects

    I've always said na as long as we have a corrupt and illegitimate president in power, walang katapusan ang political turmoil sa ating bansa.


  • Doesn't this sound familiar?

    In a previous column, I likened the "envelopmental ecclesiaticism" of Malacañang to "envelopmental journalism" but then I recalled how Michaelangelo Zuce, who used to work in Malacañang as a "political operator" in the employ of its presidential adviser on political affairs, described an encounter with the Doña in her La Vista residence at the height of the 2004 campaign. Zuce and the assistants of his "uncle" Gil (Garcillano) had herded election supervisors to the Arroyo manse atop the hill which overlooked the Marikina Valley which used to be owned by the forebears of the Doña’s maternal in-laws. After dinner and short remarks from the Doña, along with the obligatory picture-taking, assistants of Bong and Lilia Pineda, kumpadre and kumadre of the President who are better known as the king and queen of jueteng, started distributing white envelopes to the election officials.

    Hindi ba may nangyari na ganito rin just recently lang? Read the whole thing. Read the part about another group of Bishops being wined and dined by Gloria at the infamous Discovery Suites. The "spice boys" makes a cameo appearance in the article.

    Here's background info on the Discovery Suites.
