Cars in Congress

ganyan nila nilulustay ang kaban ng bayan, pero nagpapakatanga pa rin tayo. di naman sila mag papasa ng batas na mapagbawalan sila sa pag gamit ng mga luxury cars, kasi gahaman yan sila. ultimong yung mga party list ganun din mag lustay. Iba’t ibang pakulo at damit lang pero parepareho naman ang budhi.

The only people driving with distinguishing plates on their cars are the Diplomats to signify their diplomatic immunity, but anyone can have his/her own custom/vanity plate at his/her own expense from $250 up. Our elected official won’t be caught driving a car with a number so and so to signify a position. To the ministry of transport, everyone is equal other than the diplomats.

Well, if you are that vain, you can paint your own Big Announcement to the World on your own vehicle of your Position like Member of the Parliament or Mayor of Mississauga.. By the Way Mayor Hazel McCallion of Mississauga finally gave up her license (she’s 85) and accepted the city offer of chauffeured limo after 35 years of continuously serving her people.

I don’t really mind people owning and driving luxurious cars as long as they bought them with their own honestly earned money, but congress members, who are mostly suspected of corruptions only re-enforced the suspicions of their sources.

Just imagine these lawmakers comfortable in the backseats of their luxury cars cruising along the potholed streets of metro manila, looking at children begging along the streets, homeless people wondering with nowhere to go, commuters boarding carbon monoxide pumping jeepneys and tri-bikes and go to the halls of congress and start their day busy thinking where to get more funds for more luxury cars, instead of recalling of what they just seen and do something about them…

what drives politicians? to have a green and clean image.

well, that happens only during election campaigns…

let’s see the amigo ng bayan convert his 7M worth of motor vehicles into biofuelled ones come campaign-sortie time…

I don’t know if these could be considered top of the line vehicles. The Expeditions are early ’00s, and one is using a Ssangyong?! The only fault you can find in driving that is very poor decision making. If you want to see government officials living it up in their snazzy cars, why don’t you guys look at Mayor J.V. Ejercito, who goes around San Juan in a 2005 Range Rover and a brand spanking new FERRARI! WOW! Masang-masa ang dating talaga. I don’t think anyone in government can top that right now.

CORRECTION LANG PO

I’m sorry for skewing the facts. I re-checked with another San Juan resident and Mayor J.V. Ejercito does not have a 2005 Range Rover, its a Range Rover SE which is far more superior in price and performance than a regular Range Rover. Also aside from the Ferrari, he also has a new Porsche 911 cabriolet!!! Wow!!! Walang tatalo dyan!!!

the fact that these vehicles cost at least 2 million each shows how luxurious life has become for our respectable tongressmen.

indeed, what a lucrative profession being a politician has become. no wonder why some people will kill just to eliminate their opponents.

the only congressman I know that is poor and without a car is Waykurat. I heard he is riding a bike instead and stays in the quarter of Batasan complex. and of course, also the late ex col. Aguinaldo who’s only renting a small apartment near the Batasan.

no wonder why rich greedy person wants to be a politician rather than investing his money in a commercial businesses. to be an elected or govt. official is obviously more on gaining money, from kickbacks and bribes,than losing…and yes, no sweat at all..just pure guts, greed, and selfishness. How i wish sooner or later someone will vandalize their luxury car that says, THANK U FOR THE CONVENIENCE, UR TAXES IS NOW WORKING FOR ME.

what if these congressmen just owned the cars from their own pockets? usually they come from rich families right???

or, if they get some discount in some dealership or something?

just asking.

PS. i dont have a relative that is a politician, i hate them like i hate cockroaches.
PS2. i would want to have a federal government in the philippines as much as possible. I think this is the only way we know which province is most self-sufficient. then we get rid of all those artistas running for public office.

wala bang karapatan ang mga congressmen at si JV ejercito na mag-mayari ng mga nabanggit ninyo na sasakyan? are you insinuating na kinuha nila sa kaban ng bayan ang mga pera na ipinangbili nila ng mga sasakyan na nabanggit ninyo?

tigilan na ninyo ang mga UGALI ninyo na UTAK DUKHA, if you have the evidence na ninakaw nila ang ipinangbayad nila, CAN YOU PLEASE FILE CASES AGAINST THEM, AND PCIJ PLEASE ASSIST THEM. KUNG WALA NAMAN at mag-propaganda lang kayo, tigilan na ninyo. YOU HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THOSE POLITICIANS THAT YOU HAVE ELECTED ARE NOT POOR.

The only objective that congressmen run for the said position is to have a very luxurious vehicle wherein they could show to their other colleagues in the Congress. Also, its the only way that they could regain the money that they have used during the campaign period. Most of the political candidates would use the “masa” during campaign period but when they are now elected on the said government position, that’s the time that they would “assault” the people by “robbing/stealing” of government funds/money that is intended for the Filipino people.

obvious ba na walang mahirap na politiko sa panahon ngayon dahil hindi makakaafford tumakbo ang isang ordinaryong mamamayan? pero oo nga naman baka hindi naman nila ninakaw sa kaban ng bayan ang perang pinangbili nila ng magagarang mga sasakyan na yan…. baka galing pa sa mga ninakaw ng mga lolo at tatay nila ang mga pera na yan kaya yumaman ng husto at ipinamana naman sa mga anak at kaapo-apohan pati na yung kapangyarihan kaya lalong yumayaman.

wala nga namang ebidensiya at puro propaganda lang ang mga yan. kita nyo gumagastos ng milyon-milyon para lang manalo sa eleksyon at tumanggap ng sueldo na P35,000/month. yan lahat ay sa dahilang para makapaglingkod sa bayan. UTAK DUKHA lang ang mag-iisip na ang balak nila ay ang mangurakot lang sa kaban ng bayan directly or indirectly.

pake silip naman ng congressman namin sa eastern samar kung saan nag aaral yong mga anak nya at ilang ang sasakyan nya. Im earning 250 thousand a month pero hindi ko kaya papag aralin yong anak ko sa london. mahal eh…..

Sabi sa taas baka naman tutoong pera ni JV ang pinambili ng ferrari at porche. Pero di ba anak siya ni Erap para sa mahirap. Ang nahihirapan akong maintindihan e kung pano naiintindihan ng mga mahihirap na para sa mahirap ang pamilya ni Erap…. kung sila ay naliligo ng karangyaan.

gwaping,

as far as I know the Erap plunder case is still ongoing or is it resolved already? your challenge to the commenters and the bloggers in general is just like Pacquiao challenging anyone on the street “dare to go for a few rounder with me” and you know it.

Let us not be so naive, that we don’t know that the justice system in the Philippines is not that impartial that anyone can just file a complaint and the authorities will further investigate to dig for more evidence to warrant charges.

Let us not be so daring when we know that Money and Power talks the loudest and is one of the most important components of the Justice system and let us not be that silly to assume that those possessing them would not utilize them to the fullest. But again I hope someone will take your challenge, and may prove that there is after all a semblance of justice still at work in the country. for me I rest my case and live in peace with my fellow men…

Gwaping

Asan ka sa punto na si JV bumili ng porsche at ferrari. Si Erap ang paboritong inumin blue label at louis xiii? Kung sensitibo talaga sila sa problema ng bayan sa kahirapan, dapat dahan dahan sila sa pngangalandakan ng yaman, kahit tutoo pang ito ay pinaghirapan (which I very much doubt, sabi nga, walang malaking isda na nahuhuli na Pilipinas, medyo alinsangan ka siguro sa pagbalik ni Atong.)

Even anti-gloria or not, i have the predictions that most will turn into the same bananas lump together and only good for banana que..

gwaping

dapat hindi tayo naniniwala sa mga pulitiko. kasi pangako sila ng pangako na pag nanalo sila sa eleksyon, pagagandahin nila ang buhay ng mga mahihirap. ang mahirap pag nanalo na sila, sila ang unang gumaganda ang buhay. hindi lang yon, sky is the limit pa sa pagpapayaman.

boycotin dapat lahat ng eleksyon sa pilipinas. pakapalan din lang naman ng mukha ang labanan ngayon. ipaabot natin ang pagkamuhi sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng hindi pagboto.

Can anybody feature the yellow corvette of Cong. Gerardo Espina jr. of Biliran Province. Sources say that he bought that car for 8-Million peso. It is a query to all, where he got the money to pay off that expensive yellow corvette. Even if you sum up his income in a year as a congressman(?)his gross will not reached millions.
Espina family is from Manila, Dayu lang sila sa Biliran. When they came to our province 12 yrs ago…They have nothing.
Not even a single car. And they only rented a small apartment which they did not even cared to pay until now.

Please try to feature the car. So everybody in the globe would see it.

The Province of Biliran is ranked No. 9 among the top ten poorest provinces in the Philippines

In contrast, the Espina Dynasty, who lorded over Biliran for the last 12 years, is wallowing in the trappings of their sudden newfound wealth and power evidenced by ownership of mansions, resorts, land properties, condominium units, businesses, commercial properties, fleet of luxury vehicles and of course healthy bank accounts.

Congressman Gerardo Espina Jr, the Representative of the Lone District of Biliran and a gambling addict is cruising around Manila on an P8,000,000.00 yellow Corvette sports car and owns expensive fighting cocks and race horses costing P600,000.00 each. He also owns farms where he keeps his fighting cocks and race horses.

While his fellow Congressmen are busy crafting laws, Gerryboy is spending his time in cock derbies and horse races , where he seems to have an unlimited supply of gambling money.

Mot bad coming from a family who came to Biliran with virtually nothing 12 years ago.

Please help the Biliranons in their struggle to remove the Espina Dynasty who has been robbing and pillaging Biliran Province for the last 12 years.

Great job pcij. But why bother researching their cars? Barya lang yan para sa kanila. Look at their homes, businesses (including those run by their relatives), and even properties abroad.
