The Raul Gonzalez hedge fund
Seems like Gloria is in real trouble, even Raul Gonzalez is hedging his bets.
In his regular column “Reflections from the Mirror”, Gonzalez pretends he is describing Noli for 2010 when in fact he laid the predicate for Noli as the alternative to Gloria.
Here he discusses Noli’s viability as a candidate for 2010,
“It seems that Vice President Noli de Castro is fast becoming a very viable presidential candidate in the 2010 elections.
“The recent SWS survey has confirmed this perception because Vice President Noli topped the SWS survey, beating such declared presidentiables as Senate President Manny Villar, Sen. Loren Legarda and Sen. Mar Roxas II.
“I am not surprised for I have always told friends that the Vice President should never be counted out in 2010 because of his showing in 2001 as a senatorial candidate while running as an independent, which is a clear indication of his acceptability to the people. It also shows that his victory in 2004 was a clear mandate from our people regardless of the claims of Senator Legarda.”
And here he itemizes why Noli can take over anytime,
“I would like to impress upon the public that during Cabinet meetings, VP Noli is always in my radar screen, and I see that the Vice President has the intelligence, the clear grasp of the problems and is equipped with the stature of leadership, which a national leader must possess.”
And here he crosses and uncrosses his legs for Noli,
“We are not committed to the Vice President, but with his showing in the surveys and the sincerity that he has shown in carrying out his duties, as Vice President and as the “Housing Czar,” who knows, President Arroyo most probably could have also noticed what I have noticed.
In the meantime, congratulations, Vice President Noli!”
The man’s style would make whores blush.
By the way, certain comments on my previous post on Vivianne Yuchengco led me to an image search. And these are the photos I found. She does look like Bitoy of Bubble Gang,

I would rather reserve my comment/s regarding noli de castro. If you only knew/knows what he did at the office of the vice president. He is one person who only thinks of himself. Ask the people who knows him.
They said what he did in HUDCC is great, again I will reserve my comment/s. According ot gonzales, he is very much impressed with noli in their cabinet meetings, tsk, tsk, tsk….if you only knew.

Speaking of Noli de Castro..here’s a text message that has been circulating:
“If you think VP Nolli de Castro is a good alternative, you should continue reading. The P200 MILLION house & lot bought by VP Noli de Castro 2 months ago was given to his girlfriend Lucille Ortille. He acquired the property from Lucille Carlos & the exact address is 2256 Paraiso St Dasmarinas Village Makati City”

Manuel,
Gonzalez is practising gearing… He’s putting a 10% investment and borrows the rest in the hope that in 2010, he makes a whammy for profit.

Have pity on Michael V. He looks much better naman. Hahaha.

Is Raul Gonzales preparing to make a deal with Noli De Castro in the likely event of Gloria’s ouster, just like his look-alike from the movie “V for Vendetta”, Party Leader Creedy? Something to the tune of “I’ll give you GMA on a silver platter if you spare me from the angry mob who wishes to kill me”?

[...] but wait. manuel buencamino posted excerpts from raul gonzalez’s business mirror column “that man, noli” where ate glue’s justice secretary is all praise for the vice president and thinks he’s going to make a good president. “The recent SWS survey has confirmed this perception because Vice President Noli topped the SWS survey, beating such declared presidentiables as Senate President Manny Villar, Sen. Loren Legarda and Sen. Mar Roxas II…. [...]

presidential candidate JOEY LINA but i believe
the filipino people are not yet ready for them
on February 19th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
Joey Lina? Oh my goodness me… I don’t think he has the force of character to be president. It will be Gloria all over again albeit the do-lally version!

Bayani Fernando for president? Think twice before recommending the bastard. He doesn`t care if somebody starves to death as long as the street is clean. He`s amassing tremendous wealth lately as MMDA chairman,
he is regulating the small businessmen to death to eradicate competition,
just ask the ex-Marikina businessmen now settled on the perimeter of the
city. Marikina isn`t the shoe capital anymore, it`s San Mateo, Antipolo,
Cainta, and part of QC that turns out shoes by the volume.

Who is your preferred next president of the Philippines?
The Yahoo Community has the Best Answer for this, may I share this with you?
“Whenever somebody ask who is the NEXT president of the Philippines, the top of the brand answer is always BAYANI FERNANDO…why?
Just like the rest of them, I also prefer BAYANI FERNANDO as the next president because…….
1. While Money Villar is working hard for money…insertions,behest loans, influence peddling, Bayani Fernando is in the field directing MMDA staff in fixing the drainage and water system of the squatters of Recto in front of Isetannn. Well, Bayani Fernando together with the Three Tenors, also raised money once in a while ….by singing and the beneficiaries are often the Churches and charitable institutions. Bayani Fernando agreed to join the Celebrity Duets and dont wonder if he donate half of his prize to the Caritas. Bayani Fernando has a soft heart for the Church because he was a Church worker (sacristan, yes, just like Basilio and Crispin), when he was a small boy.
2. While Noli de Castro is leaving his first wife to marry a Muslim, Bayani Fernando was in EDSA Revolution with his construction equipments blocking the pro - Marcos tanks from open firing on the armless people in EDSA.
3. While Mar Roxas is stalking Korina Sanchez ..appearing like a jologs teenager crazilly smittened with the oozing sex appeal of Korina, BAYANI FERNANDO is appearing presidentiable by sending people to typhoon stricken Panay.
4. While Ping Lacson is being haunted by the public in the Kuratong and Dacer cases…. BAYANI FERNANDO will look at you straight in the eye and say in a charming Marikina accent na”wala pa syang pinapapatay sa buong buhay nya maski sino”.
5. While Loren Legarda is marrying a married man now accused of murder, BAYANI FERNANDO has been a loyal husband to Marikina Mayor Marides Carlos Fernando (daughter of the old rich industrialist Meneleo Carlos) and a doting father to his only child Tala Fernando.
6. “MAREA FROM Heaven” was dominating the political grapevine when GMA 7 featured the MAREA Marcos, Aquino, Ramos, Ejercito and Arroyo in a primetime. FROM is Fernando, Roxas, probably Osmena again and probably Magsaysay again. Then HEAVEN, which is still too mystrious to predict. Then GMA 7 invited Bayani Fernando to join the Celebrity Duets and FVR has revealed a “slip of the tongue” in an speaking engagement that the next president is a bayani (hero) and a pink panther which of course he clarified the next day…the usual psywar charm of the dear FVR.
7. Then there was a talk that Noli de Castro accepted a “downpayment’ for him to run for reelection as VP, and not as President.
8.. Then the “C5 at Taga” scandal which effectively cut down Money Villar to a money making businessman masquerading as a public servant.
9. Then people are printing BAYANI FERNANDO stickers and paste them in their cars….and reports have it that this BAYANI FERNANDO stickers and poster are sprouting all over the country.
What is really MAREA FROM HEAVEN? It is the mysterious spirit that put an ordinary housewife, a lowly paid professional soldier and a college drop out into the Philippine presidency…(But hey, the Atheist group of UP Diliman is promoting the MAREA DeVil Team..whatever that is….)
Well, all said, the direction is pointing to BAYANI FERNANDO becoming the next president….the script is FROM HEAVEN…..”
This Answer was written by a group of urban poor leaders who are supporting the Metro Guapo depressed areas assistance project, calling themselves as “The Circle of founding Fathers”, thank you for publishing this.
