Cebu Sinulog Festival further highlights the poignancy of Gwen Garcia’s ‘people power’ call

It’s a fitting reminder of what Filipinos are really all about. After a specatcularly-fizzled attempt to rally the usual ocho-ocho “people power” crowd around her “Hole Up for a Cause” spectacle, suspended Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia can only watch helplessly from her “office” in the Cebu Capitol as Filipinos reportedly snap-up hotel rooms in Cebu…

Gwendolyn Garcia could end up living like a cavewoman in the Cebu Capitol building

The clock is ticking for suspended Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia who is currently besieged in the provincial capitol after she defied a suspension order issued by Malacañang mid-December last year. As police mulled over their options short of physically dragging Garcia out of the public building, Acting Governor Agnes Almendras Magpale is considering cutting off…

Take it! Take it! President Noynoy Aquino has a clean shot in Cebu

Posted on January 2, 2013 By benign0 47 Comments on Take it! Take it! President Noynoy Aquino has a clean shot in Cebu

On one hand, I’d say the clock is ticking for Malacañang. Presumably with every hour — and day — it dithers in its decision on what to do about rogue Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia who remains ‘holed up for a cause’ at the Cebu Capitol after being slapped with a suspension order on the 19th…

Gwendolyn Garcia may have Pedro Calungsod on her side but Noynoy is still Chief of the Armed Forces

Posted on December 31, 2012December 31, 2012 By benign0 8 Comments on Gwendolyn Garcia may have Pedro Calungsod on her side but Noynoy is still Chief of the Armed Forces

Flawed in its execution or not, Malacañang had come out locked and loaded when it ordered Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia suspended for alleged “grave abuse of authority” on the 19th December 2012. Yet ten days later, what could’ve been a clean strike has turned into a quagmire. What’s the big delay anyway? If the government…

Too Much Power Concentrated in Manila

Posted on December 31, 2012December 31, 2012 By Carlos C Tapang 32 Comments on Too Much Power Concentrated in Manila
Too Much Power Concentrated in Manila

The ongoing conflict between the DILG and Governor Gwen Garcia of Cebu has highlighted one of the fundamental problems we have in our system of government: too much centralization. Here you have a sitting governor (who is to end her term in six months) being disciplined for an offense that happened a long time ago….

Cebu’s Gwen Garcia vs Tarlac’s Noynoy Aquino: starting 2013 with another circus!

Posted on December 28, 2012December 28, 2012 By benign0 40 Comments on Cebu’s Gwen Garcia vs Tarlac’s Noynoy Aquino: starting 2013 with another circus!
Cebu’s Gwen Garcia vs Tarlac’s Noynoy Aquino: starting 2013 with another circus!

As Malacañang would have us believe, Gwendolyn Garcia is a very bad person — bad enough to be summarily suspended from her her position as duly-elected Governor of Cebu for a period of six months. That is enough time for the 2013 elections to come to pass with Cebu under the watch of now “acting…

Posted on December 25, 2012July 30, 2013 By FallenAngel 35 Comments on Ever since he became president, PNoy’s Decembers have been “in the red”

Let’s cut to the chase since the Christmas holidays are upon us, after all: Has anyone noticed that President Benigno Simeon Aquino III (BS Aquino) has been “seeing red” every December since his presidency started? 2010: Noynoy’s beloved Truth Commission got shot down due to unconstitutionality 2011: Noynoy lambasts former CJ Corona at the National…

Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia in showdown with Aquino government

What is happening in Cebu? Apparently there is some sort of a lockdown going on complete with riot police and wire barricades in front of the governor’s office. Cebu governor Gwendolyn Garcia has locked herself in her office and been there for a few days now in defiance of the suspension order served to her…
