I will not vote for any party list and we should pass on that Filipinos should not vote for any partylist unless they themselves are a member of the group.

There is room for 50 party list members in Congress. Assume they each get P100 million a month in pork barrel. Can you imagine how much our country would save if none of those50 seats are unoccupied????

DO NOT VOTE FOR A PARTY LIST.

Remember, each party must garner a certain number of votes in order to be able to get one of their nominees seated in Congress. If NO ONE votes for party list, then NO ONE will sit in Congress and we will save that much more money.

Please encourage your friends NOT to vote for party list. Please pass.

Thanks and regards, Angela

Dear all,

This is only an initial study done by Kontra Daya. We're still looking at another 20 partylist gorups with questionable goals and nominees.


The most notorious and questionable are Ang Galing Pinoy, 1-utak, Ang Kasangga, PACYAW and BIDA.

INITIAL LIST OF PARTYLISTS WITH LINKS TO THE ARROYO ADMINISTRATION by Kontra Daya (March 28, 2010)

PARTYLIST NAME

DESCRIPTION

1. Ang Galing Pinoy

.

2. 1-Utak
Partylist of the transport sector
First nominee is former Energy Secretary Angelo Reyes. Reyes has defended the oil deregulation law and the oil companies on many occasions. These issues pit Reyes against the very sector he now claims to represent.

Second nominee is former LTFRB official, lawyer Vigor Mendoza who is also their current representative in Congress.

3. Ang Kasangga
Partylist claims to represent small entrepreneurs. Its current representative is Ma. Lourdes Arroyo, sister of First Gentleman Mike Arroyo.
Ang Kasangga’s new first nominee is businessman Teodorico T. Haresco who, as one website says, “is primarily known for his involvement in the President’s Bridge Program, a sustained infrastructure and fast-track rural development project spanning over 14 years.” Haresco also sits on the Board of Directors of the PNOC and heads various corporations with partnerships with foreign businesses.

In December 2005, British newspaper The Guardian ran an article about a British firm “accused of making excessive profits in an aid project, by building what their critics call bridges to nowhere”. The Guardian cited Haresco, of the President’s Bridges Program, as the Philippine contact of the British firm.

Fourth nominee is Enrique V. Martin a Board Member of the Capiz provincial government.

Fifth nominee Segundo M. Gaston is the Senior Vice President for support and subsidiaries of the Philippine National Construction Corp. (PNCC)

4. Batang Iwas Droga (BIDA)
BIDA was earlier assailed by watchdog Kontra Daya for being ineligible for partylist accreditation because it is a government funded and initiated entity. In its website, BIDA says it is the brainchild of PAGCOR chair Efraim Genuino.

Batang Iwas Droga has Sheryl Genuino-See, daughter of PAGCOR chairman Efraim Genuino, as its first nominee. Sheryl See was also a previous nominee of Bigkis Pinoy, a partylist also affiliated with PAGCOR’s Genuino.
The second nominee of BIDA, businessman Johhny Tan, was also a previous nominees of the partylist group Bigkis Pinoy.

It is not clear when See and Tan resigned from Bigkis Pinoy to become nominees of BIDA.

BIDA’s fifth nominee appears to be Special Prosecutor Dennis Villa-Ignacio, who is presently a nominee for the Chief Justice’s position.

5. KABAYAN
The group claims to represent transport workers, farmers and fisherfolk, persons with disabilities, senior citizens, anti-crime crusaders, overseas Filipino workers, government workers, industrial workers, urban and rural poor, migrant workers and seafarers, and students, youth and professionals.

KABAYAN has Palace exec Ron Salo as first nominee. Salo was undersecretary under the Office of the Executive Secretary of Eduardo Ermita in 2009 Salo was with the Presidential Legislative Liaison Office before moving to the OES.
