An article which came out in a news website quoted Sen. Noynoy Aquino saying, "I talked to my sister and I did ask her that's the part of my life that I want to be private as it can't develop in the public like in a fishball...." Noynoy's supporters argue that what the senator actually said was "fish bowl," not "fishball."

hehehe... kakatawa naman.. hehehe

simpleng pagkakamali lang....pero nakakatawa pa rin...hehehe

324 i so agree with you! ang babaw talaga!!

i also read somewhere na WE NEED SOMEONE WHO IS LESSER EVIL..so true!!


mga kababayan ko, i hope you can keep your faith in our country and in our people. please don't lose hope. magmasid kayong mabuti at magdesisyon ng tama. gooow!

In addition to what 315 said though medyo delayed na ito. Sino sino nga pala ulit yung mga nagmamay- ari ng Hacieda Luisita? Saka kaninong kapatid yung nagfloflaunt ng mga alahas nya quot;katas ng haciendaquot;?

knowing nmn pinoy of course lahat pupunahin,d ba even d looks maraming bad comments din.But hope di ntin tingnan ung panlabas na anyo.Kasi he's not competing 4 ginoong pilipinas nmn.Sana kung sa tingin natin makakabuti sa bansa natin kahit pangit ka or sometimes nagkakamali sa pronunciation.Hehehe!Basta Honest sya at least di sya corrupt kasi if he is nmn may sarili na syang bahay sa tagal nya sa posisyon as a congressman at senator di ba,unlike others congressman pa lang may hse na sa US at kung anu-anu pang kurakot ang ginagawa pag nakaupo na sa puwes2.So tingin ko start tayong magka-isa 4 our people and our country nmn kasi kawawa nmn tayo napag-iiwanan na sa Asia sa 22o lang.So sana lets give him a chance...

Kris, be supportive of your brother by staying in the background and cease from making statements that just humiliates him to no end. You have quite a reputation of making statements without thinking if it will be helpful or hurtful then you resort to making amends and apologizing afterwards.
Goodluck to Noynoy and other aspirants. It would still be up to us, the Filipino voters, whether we make a smart decision on who is going to be the next leader of our corrupt people. It's the people, not the politicians, are the one to be smart. Let's not be as gullible as before.

It's up to Noynoy if he wanted to run for presidency. I hope he's not being pressured to do something he's not sure he can accomplish. I gues he should start rethinking if he really wanted his sister Kris to be involved because, let's admit it, Kris is not sensitive enough to think first before opening her mouth. She's too outspoken for her own good. Lately, her statements, like that of selling her house to fund Noynoy's campaign, no money in her ATM, she'll shoulder Noynoy's expenses and quot;huwag mahalquot; , etc. How are these statements perceived by the Filipino people? That Noynoy can't take care of himself. Please, let's all face the fact that the Cojunagco's and the Aquino's are rich and can afford to not break a sweat and still live comfortably. They are not like us who needs to buy bangus and a kilo of rice in morning to get through the day.
Kris should just shut up since she can't offer any positive vibe to her brother's unblemished political career. Kris, stay in the background and be supp

lucky 7

You were funny with your other posts but now you are rude. Noynoy is running for president. He is not auditioning to be a movie star.

I just hope no one follows your views as to how we should elect the leaders of our country.

Also - you might want to brush up on your manners.

I am just posting here to state that I support NoyNoy Aquino for President =

yeah noynoy seems to be bringing back hope for some blind voters following the noynoy bandwagon but can he bring back his VANISHING HAIR...mukha na kc siyang 60...mas gurang pa looks niya kay ninoy! lols...kris your bro needs hair transplant! lols!

THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS A TOPIC ARE MABABAW..MAYBE BCOZ WLA CLA MAKITANG MALI WITH HIM THAT KAHIT PRONUNCIATION LANG OR MISINTERPRETATION NG WRITER EH PINAPATULAN..THEY'RE SO PATHETIC!

ang pinoy mismo ang problema ng pinas, hanggat hindi magbabago ang nakaugalian ng mga pinoy hindi aasenso ang pinas, karamihan sa mga pinoy walang disiplina magkaroon lang ng disiplina ang bawat isa aasenso ang pinas, ang kaso kahit ka tumingin makikita mo kawalan ng disiplina.

Kailanganga ng mahal natin na Pilipinas ang leadership like Lee Kwan Yeo!
Maybe Singapore don't have that much freedom or democracy like us in the Philippines but look what Spore government, economy and people have now? pantay-pantay... as long that you work hard!! Kahit strict ang pamahalaan nila/ spore, still many big time foreign investor come and do business and much more lately the economy in US is down actually around the world.

Philippines need a NO corrupt President but he's intelligent, hard working and in total has good leadership.

As not only corruption is the major problem of our country but our lots and lots of kababayan need to have work.

Test post. Hehe

IMO and FYI lang po, lahat tayo must be reminded especially young voters of today that politics is a very dirty game, not only sa pinas but all over the free world. mudslinging against any personalities is nothing new and it will be used to attack noynoy in the months to come leading to election day. but my belief in the sincerity of noynoy to serve our country will hardly be shaken. i strongly feel that this belief is shared by all silent majority voters like myself.

Gawin nyong ibuto ang gosto nyo wag na lang kayo manakit ng damdamin ng tao!!! topic nyo lagi na lang family Aquino ay ganito si Noynoy, si cory, si kris??? bakit si Gloria di nyo na pa alis sa pwesto dahil magaling kayo manglait ng Aqunio family???? shittttttttttttt

Ay naku kung sinong magaling dyang mag salita mag batikus kay Noynoy kayo na lang ang umupo ng Presidente ng bayan akala nyo kung sino kayo mag salita ,manglait sa mga Aquino??? bakit si Gloria di nyo kaya?????

JEJOMAR BINAY FOR PRESIDENT! pag ayaw nya mag MANNY VILLAR na lang kami! its ether sa dalawa!

sige nga hollygo, who do you think is a better for the presidency? Who are better than noynoy?

IF i can change the history.. I would take out Marcos. He should have not been a president. Ska enough with them.. most people inlcuding me, are focusing on Noynoy.. he has brought hope back in me. Nobody's perfect. Lesser evil, ika nga. I'm giving him a chance. Bkit sino bang bet mo?

What can you expect from Cory? Look at Gloria? Magaling sya pero look at us now.

And yes, dpat talagang isisi kay Marcos.. he's the most corrupt president I know. So is imelda.. kaya nga may word na imeldific sa dictionary di ba?

You continue to blame Marcos, yet the ones you hail as your heroes have done nothing to better the state of our nation…you see callcentergirl, even if our nation was damaged by Martial Law, why is it that for 23 years we still have not seen better feeding programs for the impoverished, or a better judicial system for all, or a better mechanism to cope with yearly floods that visit our country. We’re not yet talking about a major wish list here, these are basic needs of the common Filipino…lahat ba ang mga bagay na ito isisisi mo kay Marcos? 23 years of nothing. If Noynoy becomes president, and be a sitting duck like his mother was, will you again use the same excuse that his predecessor has damaged the nation so badly that it would be impossible for him to fix things? Hmmm, perhaps a very good PR firm will be able to do the job once again for the Aquinos.

The democracy you speak of that Cory ‘gave’ to the people is an idea only...Cory would not have ascended to the presidency without the involvement-—or should I say, interference--of the American government. Cory and Ninoy were one. Ninoy’s politics was left-leaning, you think Cory did not believe in her husband’s politics that she would rather have a democratic form of government over communism? The brand of democracy brought to us by the 1986 EDSA revolution is just an idea. Adding to it were the vested interests Cory’s allies had over the presidency, that is why instead of democracy, what we have today is ‘demo-crazy.’

Hollygo --It all started with Ninoy.. tinuloy lng ni Cory. Ginaya sa ibang mga bansa ang First People Power ntin. Kung di dahil sa Aquinos.. baka si Borgy Manotoc presidente natin ngayon.

you can't blame the filipinos if we only remember how the ninoy died for the country.. Yes the Aquinos.. yung mag-asawang mas inuna ang pilipinas kesa sa pamilya nila. Because they believed that Filipinos are worth dying for.

hollygo -- without Cory we won't have the democracy we have right now.. nobody during that time had the bolls to go against the Marcoses.. Cory was not a perfect president. It was people around her who are corrupt. Sbi nga ni mareng winnie monzod.. mapupulaan mo sya sa ibang bagay but not her sincerity and purity of heart to serve the country. Ska what can you expect from a housemaker? khit sinong pulitiko ilagay mo after the marcos administration.. puro problema kahaharapin.

It is amazing how the new generation of Filipinos have forgotten that the Aquinos and Conjuangcos are elitists and are no different from all the Machiavellian politicians of our land; that Ninoy Aquino’s father was a ‘makapili’ during the Japanese period; that Ninoy himself had close associations with the New People’s Army to supplant the government; that multiple coup d’etat were organized in Peping Cojunacgo’s Dasmarinas Village home, also to supplant the government—Tingting confirmed this in one of her interviews years ago in a magazine, and was also common knowledge to some of us…these are just a few of where Noynoy’s roots are from—seditious, unlawful acts that warranted arrest and legal penalties. And now you say he is the most qualified to be president of this country?

Just like his mother, Noynoy will be made a symbol only, and a facade of an 'uncorruptible' democratic administration...and like his mother, he will be surrounded by their corrupt allies in government.

Much of what Cory's 'legacy' is was a product of a good PR job. And why not? Her administration needed it a lot because they didn’t know how the he_l to do their jobs when they took over in 1986. It is ironic how Cory is hailed as the ‘Mother of Democracy in the Philippines’ –another PR stunt—because her husband’s politics leaned to the left when he was still alive.

No. 297 - so true. In one of his interviews one morning, i understood nothing bec he was slurring. Could be may hangover. Kung natural naman nya iyon, paano siya magiging effective communicator as a president?
--
mas importante ang nilalaman ng sinasabi kesa sa pagde-deliver. Ang talino ni Marcos at ni Gloria. Sa mga Sona ni Gloria ang galing niyang mambara sa mga dectrators niya.. naahon ba tayo sa hirap? Saka yung kagalingan sa pakikipagcommunicate ginagamit sa pagko-convince sa mga foreign investors na maglagay like sa ZTE.

Kawawa naman si Noli, no win situation sa kaniya. Anybody na pupunta sa kampo ni Arroyo siguradong talo, tapos as independent mahirap ang laban niya. Pagsumama siya kay Villar ganoon din gagawin lang siyang vp tapos ang head of the ticket para ring si Arroyo baka more than pa dahil ngayon ngang senador pa lang ang dami ng ginagawang milagro. Kung sasama naman siya kay Erap, pareho din , pare pareho sila ni Arroyo at Villar. Sumama na lang siya kina Noynoy to run as senator.

No. 297 - so true. In one of his interviews one morning, i understood nothing bec he was slurring. Could be may hangover. Kung natural naman nya iyon, paano siya magiging effective communicator as a president?

siguro yung nagsulat ng sinabi ni Noynoy, Bingi! kaya fishball ang narinig nya, yun ang sinulat nya.

Noynoy has the moral ascendancy to lead maybe, hopefully even unite us. Tingin ko kasi pag sya ang president, ang sarap maki-involve, maki-isa. Siguro yung mga rally ng rally kasi wala ng kumpyansa sa gov't natin or s leader natin. There's no trust and confidence. Saka fishball or fishbowl.. sabi ko nga para lang yang -- water your plants tonight... yun pala what are your plans tonight?

Haaaay naku mga b0b0! FISH B O W L naman ang ibig sabihin if you read through the sentence. I mean kahit hinde Ateneo graduate makaka intindi kung ano ang word na ginamit.

ewan ko, kulang sa charisma si noynoy

basta, VOTE NOY FOR A NEW PINOY

Basta Noynoy Binay for 2010. Yan ang the best para s bansa natin. Wala nang iba pa. Villar Camella homes SSS funds, Noli-ginamit ang pera para mag produce ng mga shows like Wowowee, UZ, Trip na trip, kabuhayang swak na swak na si Gilbert Remulla ang host at Amy Perez na alaga ni Boy Abunda. Bayani - niregaluhan ang sarili ng 1.3 million from Molwelfund na pondo para sa naghihirap na artista. Di makataong pagtataboy at pagkuha na paninda ng mga vendors. Sana paalisin nalang wag nang kunin ang mga balot, manga, banana cue, mga kakanin. Si Erap naman, Boracay mansion, Jose Pidal, Laarni's greenhills house with movie theater, spa at jaguar,P10k tip sa manicursta, madjong na milyon ang taya onboard ang Ang Pangulo. Si Mar naman ayaw ng tao kay Korina dahil sobrang sama ng ugali at hindi makatao sa staff nya. Kahit sponsored pa ang catering ayaw nya na makikikain ang mga PA nya. Kahit mamatay sila sa gutom wala syang paki. Tapos ang dami nyang utos. O sino pa ang kandidato nyo? Diba si Noynoy na ang the best.

2psinapod, pronunciation po yun,hindi pronounciation,heheh.

I have lived in the US for 39 years now and still have mispronounced a lot of English words. I have never been critized for this as bad as our filipino friends did with Noynoy's pronounciation of the word fishbowl. I wish I heard how he pronounced it. Actually, the word BOWL, is one of the very first words that my friends have corrected. I pronounced it BAWL when I got here. However, the real pronounciation of bowl is closer to the word BALL with a little curl of the tongue at the end of the word. Could Noynoy have pronounced it correctly and our writer, who most likely have been pronouncing it wrong, have misinterpreted and spelled the word wrong? The benefit of the doubt is there and let's give Noynoy a chance.

Oh my...some people are too busy looking at those kinds of mistakes...ridiculous! iba nga dyan english ng english but never went to the point. nako..am sure noy2x would be the best for the position nobody else bcoz im sure hindi sya kurakot! pero sana lng kukuha sya ng mga taong hindi rin kurakot! its about time naman noh..clean-up the philippines. puro nlng kurakot ang nasa posisyon ngayon...iba dyan na congressman may island na at hotel pa daw...dyos...magkanong sweldo ba nla?!

This is just the beginning. All the paid reporters, columnists of Noynoy's opponents will always have something to bring up against him, that's politics. But let me just remind the voters - for at least 6 years, the Philippines will be free of corruption. We are assured that the Aquino family and Noynoy's cabinet are all corruption-free! Sabihin nyo nang lahat at mag-imbento na kayo ng kung ano-ano kay Noynoy, siya pa rin ang ating next President! With the help of the youth and good alw abiding citizens, we will not fail.

I beleive he is the candidate that we need for the new President of the Philippines. I have a feeling na hindi siya corrupted kagaya ng kanyang mother. I just read in the news today that the ex-president in Taiwan including his wife were convicted with corruption and will be sentenced to life in prison. Sana ganyan din ang gagawin sa mga politician natin diyan sa pilipinas para malinis na ang mga corrupt diyan.

sorry, should have been written:

Josh's condition Kris' son...and should be quot;humanequot; not human

we have different opinions but let's be human din naman...i don't think it's nice to make comments that allude to Josh's condition Kris' son. we can easily laugh about his circumstance kase wala tayong relatives na ganun ang kalagayan.

kawawa naman ung bata. wag natin sha idamay. peace po! :-

well, mali lang siguro pagkadinig nung reporter and siguro may pronunciation lapse lang on the part of noynoy...nevertheless, it doesn't make him less qualified to run for president, importante alam natin di sha magnanakaw...

besides, mas naiintindihan ko sya magsalita kesa naman dun sa isang 'presidentiable' na parang laging nakainom ng alak pag nagsasalita hehehe :-

go noynoy! we will definitely vote for you!

Pepsters, let me remind u wag sana natin laging sisihin sa mga presidente ng Pinas kung d tau umaasenso na instead moving forward ay backward pa.Y? bcoz dapat magsimula ito sa ating mga sarili, magkaroon tau ng disiplina at imbes tulungan ang gobyerno ay lagi n lang pinapabagsak. wag natin sisihin ang pagku2lang sa ating mga presidente pero isipin din natin n sa darating n election iboto natin ung mga kandidatong alam natin n they serve for the sake of the country.

Ito lang ang masasabi ko sa mga aspiring candidates:
ERAP - naku ha lam n natin kung ano at sino xa nung nging presidente xa.
Loren - palagay nyo? although ok xa pero walang ginawa sa radyo kundi batuhin lagi ang gobyerno.
Noli - ok din naman pero maraming nega against sa kanya like iniwan nya ang pamilya to achieve his dreams.
Chiz - gusto ko xa pero masyado pang bata. I think next election pwede na.
Bayani - well, gusto ko xa kasi nagkaroon ng disiplina sa Marikina at tala

hanggang december pa ang registration mga iho iha kaya pa register pa kayo okay? at kahit ano sabihin ng mga nagbablog dito sa tingin ko insignificant naman ang outcome kung susumahin mga boto natin kasi most na nag popost dito eh sa middle class. bulk ng voters sa pinas belongs to the lower class, and their vote shall dictate the outcome not other classes's
