    Oh my god. This is politicking. This blog should be put down if its intentions are to degrade someone.

    Please. Stop this non-sense, Senator Loren does what she needs to do to our country, Helping it. And yet here you are discrediting her via online deception of our people.

    Why vote for Loren?
    Why should we vote for Loren Legarda to be the next Vice President of the Philippines? Compared to Mr. Mar Roxas, who, according to rumors, has been using Korina Sanchez’s popularity and charm to the Filipino masses to gain the public’s support, Loren has always been that humble and soft-hearted senator.
    Visiting Loren’s web page, you’ll see her 7-point agenda why she wants to serve the Filipinos:
    “One, we must have a pro-people leadership…” -Leaders should of course be pro-people, not pro-himself. Our country is known for excessive and continuous graft and corruption. It has been the tagline along the words Philippine politics. Loren is certainly pro-people as she has always been generous to the people asking help from her.
    “Two, we must have a more holistic development philosophy…” -Being an island, the Philippines is so hard to bind as one socially, spiritually and economically. Legarda supports the development of rural areas particularly in terms in terms of agricultural growth and livelihood programs. She is the active legislator of the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act which is already 10 years old in processing. The act aims to help Filipino farmers and fishermen which should be approved the soonest possible time.
    “Three, we must work together to promote environmental protection…” –Environmental issues are always neglected by most politicians unlike Loren who has been working for decades to protect the environment. We are already facing serious problems due to climate change. We need someone who is completely aware and responsive when it comes to environment protection. That one should be Senator Loren Legarda.
    “Four, we must protect the rights and welfare of overseas Filipino workers…” –Our country is the number one manpower provider in the world. We have lots of migrant workers that are in demand in all nations. Due to this, overseas Filipino workers remit a huge amount of income. Loren aims to protect their welfare and gives full support for the workers.
    ”Five, we must work towards a just and lasting peace…” –Particularly in the Mindanao region, it seems hard to attain a lasting peace in our country. Being a public servant, Loren is the best bet to vote as the vice president. As a woman, she will extend her loving hands to those rebels rather than imposing a violent response on the most possible odds.
    “Six, we must strengthen the role of women in development and involve them in all aspects of decision-making...” –As one of the co-authors of the landmark Magna Carta for Women (Republic Act 9710) and the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act (RA 9260), Loren Legarda definitely cares for her fellow women people. She shall expose woman power and uplift it again as it was messed by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
    “Seven, and finally, we must restore pride in our culture…” –It is nice to know that culture preservation and appreciation were never taken out of Loren’s goals in serving the Filipinos. We indeed should retain our individuality especially in these times where we are stricken with foreign influences.
    Now, is there any other question why should we vote Loren?

    a picture of loren legarda and ampatuan together does not necessarily mean that loren is in favor of ampatuan. loren actually condemns the maguindanao massacre for the senator was once a journalist and will always be a journalist.

    Ang pinoy nga naman, makapanira lang ng tao, kahit na maling picture ay gagawan na ng maling issue, Naniniwala po ako sa ginawang kasamaan ni Ampatuan, hinde na natin dapat inadamay pa si Loren Legarda, nagpunta si Loren sa Maguindanao para sa SORA, hinde na nya kasalanan na si Ampatuan ang Governor don,ginawa lang ni Loren ang kanyang tungkulin para sa ating mga mamamayang muslim sa usaping pangkapayaan,pagkakapantay pantay justice at ang economic prosperity.Huwag nating bigyan ng maling akala ang mamamayang Pilipino ng dahil lang sa paninira nyo!!At ng dahil lang sa isang picture!
  • PaoloDamian Dec 08 2009 @ 07:17pm Report Abuse
    We should be smart before concluding,Mga bobo ba yong nagpo-post dito na galit na galit kay Loren??? Anong pakialam ni Loren sa massacre??Not because, may picture sila na magkasama sila ni Ampatuan, eh bibigyan na ng masamang kahulugan.This picture was taken last Nov.9, ON SORA, and SORA talks about,the desire for peace,equality,justice and economic prosperity.Maganda po ang hangarin ni Loren Legarda at hinde basehan ang isang picture para isipin na siya ay isang kaibigan ni Ampatuan!

    hindi lahat ng nakikita o nababasa ng ating mga mata ay tama. Maging maparaan tayo sa pagkalap ng impormasyon para hindi tayo mapahiya sa huli. Huwag tayo magpadalos-dalos ng desisyon. Kung inaakala na mali ang sasabihin mas mabuti na lang na tumahimik na lang. Let us support Sen. Loren Legarda for VP....

    this photo was taken last Nov. 9, 2009 during the SORA of Gov. Ampatuan and Sen. Loren Legarda is one of the guest. Ang ibang tao kasi ay nag-oover react sa photo na mali-mali naman ang mga comment. Photo pa lang yan ha hindi pa actual.. ang tao nga naman masyadong malisyoso......
  • leo Dec 08 2009 @ 06:26pm Report Abuse
    mahirap sa mga tao ay hindi nakikinig. At hindi umiintindi sa sitwasyon. Last November 9 pa ang photo na ito eh kailan ba massacre sa maguindanao? at hindi lang si Sen. Legarda ang nanduon... mga tao nga naman kapag gustong manira kahit ano gagawin nila....

    yes, i agree with Abby, this picture was taken "BEFORE" pa lang ng massacre sa Maguindanao, so, We should not act quickly, and judge according lang sa isang larawan na "DATI PA" kinuhanan.. Madam Loren Legarda, we will still support you. Hinde po kami naniniwala ng ganon kadali lang po.

    The administration with the Department of Defense Sec Gibo Teodoro made this monsters...are you guys blind not to see all these, just check out the markings of all the guns and ammunitions that was recently found in the ampatuan's compound! If Gloria and DefSec's excuse is we did'nt know because we don't have any control on those individuals who sold or gave those guns and ammos well that only tells that you guys are either protecting the Ampatuan's or just plain INCOMPETENT. Just on the recent Harapan at UST...Sec Gibo Teodoro even mentioned that his administration as Sec Def is the most transparent? not transparent enough to see all the dirty tricks under your sleeves Mr Teodoro. President Gloria and SecDef you can believe what ever you want to believe on what kind of people are you but for all us we only see one thing, blood is in your hands and I hope this will hunt you for the rest of your life.

    It is time for Filipinos to let go of this culture of aristocracy which led us to nowhere.

    dont let emotion blur your logic people...this photo was taken before the gruesome carnage, they are leaders and politician alike-and belongs to same party, so naturalmente lang na pwede silang magsama sa isang function..diba?
  • thelittlebigthing Dec 02 2009 @ 01:52pm Report Abuse
    Codyboston is partly correct.
    They are now enjoyng juicy positions in government because Filipinos voted for them.
    Another reason, is because they rigged the election in their favor (true for GMA).

    Loren is a certified "paru-paro" (butterfly).
    All she does is hop from one party to another to gain advantage. She does not deserve to win people's support.

    Don't hate Legarda and Arroyo with those previously taken photos. Ask yourself, why you let them have the sit of their office in the first place? It is time to wake up Filipinos, you are smarter than that. You can make your country be proud again, think and think deeply. Don't be fooled with what is on the front page, analyze the behind the scene facts. Reporters,News,TV or Radio does not tell the whole story...there is always an inside story in every features they say.

    Grabe naman ano - only in the Philippines - ang Pinoy nga naman - ang bilis makalimot - Loren and GMA - you should be ashamed of yourselves - Assumptionista pa naman kayo - you are both a disgrace to the Filipino and to Assumption. God does not sleep - one way or the other - what goes around comes around. As for the rest of you corrupt Filipinos running for office, especially the ones already seated - both local government and higher office - you are either crooks, murderers or actors who will soon become crooks and murderers.
