Erap Estrada stands by decision to keep Migz Zubiri in UNA despite Sen. Koko Pimentel's threat to leave the political party

Published: Jun 13, 2012 - 1:45pm

ABS-CBNNews.com reports that on Monday, June 11, the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) "formally endorsed former Senator Juan Miguel 'Migz' Zubiri as part of its senatorial slate in 2013, leaving the fate of Senator Aquilino 'Koko' Pimentel III up in the air." The report pointed out that "Pimentel, president of PDP-Laban, earlier threatened to leave the coalition if Vice President Jejomar Binay will not drop Zubiri from its senatorial ticket in 2013."

 

The report quoted UNA spokesperson JV Bautista, who said "the alliance has decided to field Zubiri at the behest of Puwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) stalwart, former President Joseph Estrada." Bautista also said, "Insofar as Koko [is concerned], we respect his personal sentiments and feelings, but the alliance will not delve into personalities here…The decision will now be left to Koko."

    @678910,
    Tamad kasi ang karamihan mag isip, gusto lang nila yung patangay agos at madali maniwala sa iba. May nabasa ako dito sa spot dati comment ng poster, sabi nya wala daw prinsipyo ang iba kaya sunud sunuran na lang sa sasabihin ng iba. parang may katotohanan naman iyon, ang iba nating kababayan kung saan may konting grasya dun na sila,hindi na isinasa alang alang ang kanilang prinsipyo bilang pilipino. Karamihan dito sa atin basta may pera dun sila. Parang sa eleksyon, kung sino magbibigay ng pabor, yun ang iboboto nila.

    Hay naku! bihira talaga ang matalino ngayon, at may prinsipyo. Kung mayron pang ganito ngayon ha.

    Wala ba kayong napapansin kung bakit puro Asinine,Foolish and Bull---t ang karamihang postings dito? ano ang implications niyan? alam ba niyo? O ano sirit na? Paandarin naman ninyo mga kukote niyo! Ang IBIG SABIHIN NIYAN, MAJORITY NG MGA FILIPINOS NGAYON EH WALA NG CAPABILITY FOR CRITICAL THOUGHT! Kahit anong BULL---T ang iDish out ng Mass Media, BULOK NA PULITIKO, YELLOW ARMY, CBCP/SIMBAHAN, Lefttists Propaganda eh madali nilang paniwalaan...Pag nagkaisip na ang majority ng mga mamamayan, sila na mismo ang gagagawa ng paraan for a MEANINGFUL SOCIAL CHANGE!

    Kung ganito pala sa spot, lagi ko na lang susundan ang mga may intelligence mag comment kasi para mapabilang ako sa kanila,hehehe! Usisero, bakit mo naman sinabi na magkasama si Pilipino, mark at filipina ako? Sila ba? Ang swerte naman talaga nila Pilipino, hahaha! kakainggit!

    Asinine - foolish and unintelligent.
    Tama naman pero sa ibang feed na walang relevance marami ang ganito. Pero sa mga feeds na maganda at may intelligent na mag comment, pansinin nyo ang natitira dun yung may mga utak din. Yung mga walang alam, nawawala, yung ang alam lang ay puro artista, tweets, fb wala dun.

    Wow! Talking about my favorite spotter. Ganyan talaga ang mga intelligent people, may following at sanay mag handle ng mga admirations. Kaya lang ngayon medyo madalang na sya mag spot. Pati nga si Pilipino at Mark nawawala. Hmmmmm. siguro magkakasama sila ngayon at namamasyal na.

    @12345*,,,Obvious ba? pag walang kwentang feeds wala siyang reaction ano? Siguro ang ibig sabihin, She thinks big talaga, at nahahatak niya itong mga groupie niya ano? Mabuti naman iyan, kasi majority dito sa Spot puro ASININE ang pinag po-po posts...

    Ganyan talaga sa spot, hindi limited sa feed ang usapan. Basta mga intelligent people ang nasa feed at creative mag isip, kahit saan topic puede.
    May tanong ako, bakit si FILIPINA AKO madami fans at sa mga maganda at challenging na feed ko nakikita? Hindi ko nakikita ang comments nya kapag wala kwenta o sabihin na nating hindi intelektwal ang balita? Mga balita sa kung ano ano ng artista, mga walang kwentang tweets at kung ano ano pa?

    @Couch Potato,
    Tama ka naman dyan, tinanong ko lang naman para malaman ko nga kung may mga pinanunuod din sya na local TV series kasi syempre gusto ko malaman ang punto nya sa mga ito. SIgurado ako na may ideas sya tugkol sa comparison ng foreign at local TV series. yun lang naman. Tapos interesting kasi dahil ang ganda ng pangalan nya tapos malalaman natin na ang gaganda ng pinanunuod nya na mga foreign series. Nakaka admire lang po

    Ikaw naman Charlie, what has nationalism gotta do with watching foreign TV Series? syempre, mas pinagisipan yung Foreign TV Series, malaki budget at challenging ang mga premises nila...Ikaw nga panay panood mo ng Geo, History at Animal planet eh...
  • charlie 11 months ago Reply Report Abuse
       
    Ang galing naman, parang ang gaganda ng mga pinapanuod nyo. Si FILIPINA AKO, very intelligent ang mga pinanunuod na TV series, siguro nanunuod ka rin sa Nat Geo at Discovery. Puede sya makipagsabayan dito sa mga spotters na sigurado ako mga male species kagaya ko, hahaha! Kaya pala very proud si PILIPINO at MARK sa iyo.
    Pero sa kabilang banda, bakit puro yata foreign TV series ang pinanunuod mo, so much for being a nationalistic and patriotic? Sana sagutin mo ito. I know may maganda ka maisasagot, intelligente ka kasi, for a woman, that is a rare one.

    ang saya, people are talking about US TV Series in an article about ERAP, Pimentel and Zubiri. at least people here know what's more entertaining and relevant. hahaha..
    btw, The Walking Dead is my favorite, along with True Blood, Dexter, Game of Thrones, Revenge and American Horror Story.

    Walking Dead is good, saw this but I was not able to follow through with the current season. I am familiar with Dexter but like Walking dead, was not able to watch many episodes.

    @Couch Potato and @Mark,
    Binabalikan ko ang feed na ito, dami alam ni Couch sa mga TV series, at si Mark. Natuto ka rin kay filipina ako. Mark, bakit wala lagi si FILIPINA ? Busy ba sya?

    Hindi nagustuhan ang script ng 24 parang hurriedly done at parang EL CHEAPO ang production sets. Binabasa ko muna ang foreign TV reviews bago bumili ng DVDs. Maganda din yung WALKING DEAD,at HELL ON WHEELS. Pero all Time Favorite ko yung DEXTER, season 7 na...

    @Couch Potato,
    Familiar ako sa Pillars of the EArth, si FILIPINA AKO ang nag introduce sa akin nyan, kasi we once talked about the different TV series here and produced in foreign country. Pati Leverage and Marshall and Treme. She knows these so I am quite familiar but I do not know much unlike you. How about her favorite the 3 CSI's and that of 24? And Bluebloods, Rookie blue and others I can't remember. You seem to say things about the Leverage that's why I was opted to ask.

    @Pilipino,

    Hindi ako nanood sa Cable TV, Pirata DVD ang binibili ko. Eto pa hanapin mo: TREME, tungkol sa Post-Katrina Hurricane,sa New Orleans,Drama pero galing ng casting ensemble, mga tunay na Jazz musicians ang tumutugtog.Mi bagong epic, abangan niyo sa pirata,PILLARS OF THE EARTH...Pwede din kayong maghanap ng mga luma, gaya ng DEADWOOD,excellent Western, at ROME, fictionalized account ng pag rise ni Augustus Caesar, sa power.Magaganda production values!

    Sa Cable ang leverage, sa AXN yata.
    @Couch Potato,
    wow! ang dami mo napanuod ah. Yung iba dito wala sa cable channel.
  • Couch Potato 11 months ago Reply Report Abuse
       
    Hindi ko alam kung saan sa cable.Ang alam ko lang puntahan ay ang PIRATA'S DEN. At hindi mahirap maintindihan dahil mi caption sa ilalim kaya 100% ang comprehension. Paboritong character? yung sexy na GRIFTER, ang galing niya! parang chameleon! Madami pa akong nabili sa Pirata na Series: JUSTIFIED, Modern Western, si Timothy Oliphant, US Marshal sa Kentucky, ang galing ng Action! BORGIA, ang galing din! mga Katarantaduhan sa Vatican ang theme. Spartacus ,OK din kaya lang soft core porno...

    Thanks Couch Potato, sige panoorin ko ito. Curious ako dito sabi mo kasi pinanuod ni filipina ako. sa cable ito di ba? hindi sa local channel? ano channel sa cable?
    Naging curious lang ako dito rin kay FILIPINA AKO, dahil sa inyo
  • charlie 11 months ago Reply Report Abuse
       
    Mga kabayan, tingnan natin ang TV series na ito, siguro maganda nga kasi pinanonood ng isang itinuturing na matalino sa spot. Baka naman mahirap intindihin ang series na ito? baka hindi ko ito magustuhan dahil hindi ko maintindihan, heheheh!

    @Couch Potato,
    hahaha! oo naman, nanunuod na ako nyan mula ng makita ko na favorite ni filipina ako iyan. Talk about getting curious because I saw it once. Well, maganda nga, at alam mo ba na ang hacker ang favorite ko dun. Ikaw alam mo favorite ni FILIPINA AKO dun? For a tambay to learn how to be witty, that's something.
  • Couch Potato 11 months ago Reply Report Abuse
       
    O narinig ninyo si Filipina Ako, nanood ng TV Series na LEVERAGE! Ano pa hinihintay niyo? dali! punta agad sa inyong FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD PIRATA at bumili ng series! SEASON 4 na nga pala ito...Masisiyahan kayo, galing ng mga scriptwriters. Ano Synopsis? mga dating Mandurugas ang team ni Timothy, pero reformed na sila, at tinutulungan nila ang mga NAAAPI!
  • filipina ako 11 months ago Reply Report Abuse
       
    @Couch Potato,
    Yes, I watch LEVERAGE TV series starring Timothy Hutton. It is good. I am positive you are too.
  • Couch Potato 11 months ago Reply Report Abuse
       
    @ Filipina ako,

    I like that, LEVERAGE! are you seeing the TV series with the same title, starring TIMOTHY HUTTON?
  • tambay sa kanto 11 months ago Reply Report Abuse
       
    This episode will only affect our lives if these or some of these people are put into power. For the meantime, the effect will be at a minimal in the form of us being curious and soon brainwashed by their propaganda.

    can someone please explain to me like im a 5-year old, how this brouhaha is going to affect my life, and that of every regular Juan out there.

    You and your humongous egos.
  • filipina ako 11 months ago Reply Report Abuse
       
    The message is plain and simple, Sen. Pimentel should understand it well. He has no leverage.
  • Genuine 11 months ago Reply Report Abuse
       
    Erap is pragmatic on this issue. Zubiri's rates in polls is a lot higher compared to Pimentel, that's why UNA is keeping Mr Z. Pimentel, can't blame him, feels awkward being in the same ticket with Zubiri. It's a Catch-22. Ahhh.. politics. Ain't it a dandy!
