SAVING FACE

Tabloid Headline, September 2, 2009

Dalawang prominenteng pamilya sa Pilipinas lumuluha
Ka Erdie Manalo, pumanaw;
Sen. Mar Roxas, umayaw!

sukonako Roxas Withdraws
Sen. Mar Roxas has dropped his bid for the presidency next year. If he could only turn back time, he would have prayed much harder for Tita Cory’s recovery.

Mar Roxas has announced his decision to drop his presidential ambition in 2010. Joseph Estrada lauded Mar’s statesmanship. Chiz Escudero hailed Mar’s selflessness. And Manny Villar praised Mar’s performance… in the SWS and Pulse Asia surveys.

Presidential aspirant Mar Roxas, who’s been trailing in recent surveys, will no longer seek the presidency in 2010. His family and supporters call it an “act of sacrifice,” otherwise known as “graceful exit.”

Mar Roxas will no longer run for president in 2010. He has also adopted a new slogan, “Lacson, hindi ka nag-iisa.”

Last week, Pampanga governor Among Ed Panlilio declared that he was willing to forego his presidential ambition if Noynoy Aquino would seek the presidency. Panlilio will reportedly make a formal announcement as soon as he gets a go signal from God. ‘Di pa niya kasi nakakausap ulit.

mar_korina_eeeeew In a press conference held last night, Mar Roxas announced that he has dropped his plans to become president in 2010. Fighting back tears, he said, “Bayan bago ang sarili. Maniwala man kayo o hindi, ginagawa ko ito para sa bayan.” And just to prove his love of country, he is also dropping his plan to become a groom next month.

Presidential aspirant Mar Roxas said withdrawing from the 2010 presidential race was the hardest decision he has ever made in his entire life… next only to his decision to marry Korina Sanchez.

Broadcaster Korina Sanchez was seen crying while Mar Roxas was making the important announcement at Club Filipino. Apparently, hindi siya handa.

marnoy2009 In an emotional speech at Club Filipino, Mar Roxas expressed support for Noynoy Aquino’s candidacy for president. He promised, “Hindi kami maghihiwalay ni Noy.” Korina Sanchez cried even more.

The good news is Mar Roxas has officially announced that he shall give way to Noynoy Aquino in 2010. The bad news is Korina Sanchez still refuses to give way to Shalani Soledad.

Presidential aspirant Mar Roxas made two important decisions yesterday, September 1. First he changed his mind and dropped his bid for president. Second, he changed his Friendster status from “In a Relationship to “It’s Complicated.”

mar_pedicab Mar Roxas has canceled his bid for the presidency in 2010. An hour before he made the announcement, he canceled his contract with the ad agency that created his TV commercials. He told them, “’Tang-inaaaaa! Ano ba ‘tong ginawa n’yo!?”

Mar Roxas is no longer running for president. He now seriously considers accepting ABS-CBN’s offer to replace Willie Revillame on Wowowee.

Para sa PAGSULONG ng Pilipinas, si Mar Roxas ay UMATRAS sa kanyang pagkandidatong Pangulo. Banggit naman ni Noynoy Aquino, siya’y magré–RETREAT muna bago magdeklara ng kandidatura.

Nakakalito! :) :lol: :)

Ang suerte ni Noynoy kay Shalani!

Nakakalito talaga. And I don’t see him as a competitive one. Parang tinulak lang siya para tumakbo eh.

Kung sinabi man na tinulak siya ng taong bayan na tumakbo, ala ako masyadong makita na abilidad niya para pangunahan ang ating bansa.

Baka ang mangyari sa dami ng nakapaligid sa kanya, yung mga nakapaligid sa kanya na ang magpakatakbo ng ating bansa at hindi na siya. Baka maging dummy lang.

Sana ipakita niya kung ano ang nasa niya talaga para sa bansa natin kasi as far as I’m concerned wala pa siyang inilalabas na saloobin tungkol sa kagustuhan niyang maglingkod sa bayan.

Ano sa palagay mo, hindi kaya yung pagkandidato niya sana ang hiningi na kapalit ng matamis na oo?

Ngehehe

Worried Pinoy

The next question is, will Noynoy run for presidency? Mar’s decision is just another pressure for Noynoy to run. And if ever he decided not to run, Mar will definitely be back on business with more support and higher position on surveys and Korina will live hapilly ever after.

For Joey De Venecia (aka ODIE), Ulol (x2)!!! BACK-OFF!!! Magsama kayo ni Garfield and eat your lasangna. There are no other victim on ZTE-NBN deal kundi kaming nagbabayad ng tax at nagpapakain ng lasagna sayo at sa tatay mo! Lechugas ka. Kung hindi nabuking ang katarantaduhan nyo eh malamang nagpapakasasa ka rin ngayon. Magsama kayo ng magaling na asawa ng presidente mo. Isang BLOOD CLOT ka lang FG. (Isang BLOOD CLOT ka lang! – FPJ) hahaha….

Seriously, the reason Mar is languishing in those surveys is bec. of those stupid ads, made by Korina’s people. ‘Tangna mo Korina! Salot ka sa kampanya ni Mar!

This one I completely agree. hahahaha.

Did you see DZMM this morning folks? When asked why Roxas retreated so early, KORINA says eh kasi gustong-gusto ni Noynoy eh. She also lambasted Kiko Pangilinan saying hindi siya naniniwala sa mga sinusumbong sa kanya about Kiko. After all, it was she, Korina who put KIKO in Showbiz in the first place and she refuses to believe (in a very sarcastic voice) na ganoon si Kiko kabastos at walang utang na loob! Its Sharon-Koring catfight folks!

Korina then was oddly singing giddy “Tuloy and Kasal”, “Tuloy and kasal!” at salamat she doesnt have to invite this or that anymore. She also started saying hindi lang naman si Cory and Ninoy ang heroes, but pati si Manuel Roxas, Judy Roxas and all the Roxases are heroes as well.
Goodness, Sad about Mar Roxas, a well-intentioned guy, but happy too she WONT be a first CRAZY lady!

first off: astig!

we’re forgetting about Kiko Pangilinan here… how about him? diba sabi niya, magvi-VP daw siya? pag nag-VP si Mar, anong gagawin ni Kiko? babysiter ng ga anak nila ni Sharon?

sayang din yung mga naging effort ni Mar sa ads niya… nagmumura na nga siya siguro ngayon… hehe… at baka maramdaman natin siya lalo…

Mabigat ang hininging kondisyon ni Mar Roxas kapalit ng pag-endorse kay Noynoy: “Sayo na ang pagka-pangulo, pero iyo na rin si Korina!”

Kaya kailangan ni Noynoy ng retreat – para magmuni-muni…

‘……..he would have prayed much harder for tita cory’s recovery”

on the contrary, otherwise, he couldn’t have made his graceful exit

para daw sa bayan, salonga, mar, kiko at iba pa, para ba talaga sa

bayan or para sa liberal party….

…yes Mar and Korina, ramdam na ramdam namin ang kabulukan ng style ‘nyo. Kaya umiyak si Korina eh kasi ‘yung dream ‘nya na maging First Lady naglaho na parang bula…at heto, trip naman ‘nya okrayin si Kiko and others…’Teh, you must be sour graping eh? At least the Filipino are spared from having a First lady like you. Thank you, Mar.

…Ulol na JDV III…so true PH!

…at eto pa ang mas ulol…si Mikey! Kuya, ang bobo ng mga sagot mo kay Winnie sa Unang Hirit…PH, pwede ito ang i-heckle mo next time?

in fairness, Mar Roxas is a decent person naman.

The training of Kris Aquino is on showbusiness. On how to create, maintain, and raise public awareness. When she declares that she wants Noynoy to remain single, Kris is in her best element… An expert in creating twists, exposes, contrasts, and surprises…

worried pinoy, nag-alinlangan ka pa kung tatakbo

ba si noynoy? look at his smiles nowadays, ear-to-ear na,

kaya, parang, as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, yes,

he will…

parang nahiyahiya pa ng kaunti, mag mumunimuni daw

muna, parang biglang nagiging religious din, what????

saan, sa pink sisters ba yon?

Worried Pinoy

Well, Noynoy will definitely run. No doubt about that now. And I’m also waiting for Villar and Erap to turn down their presidency aspirations to give way to Noynoy. (ASA PA) If that happens, di ko na susubabayan si PH. hehehe…

Mar and Korina are already out of the picture so lets just ignore what Ate Koring’s blabbing about.

this the first time that I liked what Mar Roxas did… stepping down like that. Korina, on the other hand, was not to be outdone. From the interview with Ted Failon it seemed that she was very unhappy… but not for the reasons she stated on air… (read: what about my ambition to become first lady?)

I believe Mar Roxas is a honorable and decent man but marrying Korina Sanchez is a big mistake.

Mar there is still time to back out like you did with your presidential ambition.

well i used to liked MAR coz i thought this guy was a fresh face in the political scene but after airing his “PADYAK” ad man i was so disgusted….. and to noynoy sorry you aint getting my vote.. or i think i wont vote any1 this 2010.. when cory was still alive nobody gave a damn about him?? sorry to the die hard cory fans and to other people whom i offended.. whats with all this media hype about noynoy??? this is kinda stupid.. UUNLADF ANG PILIPINAS KAPAG ANG MGA NAKAUPO AY (INSERT A WORD THAT YOU WANT)!!!!!! jhaahahahahahha

i dont think noynoy is smart enough like his dad, compassionate and charismatic enough like his mom, witty enough like sis kris. Matagal ko nang napapansin eto na me pagkabulol pa nga siya kung magsalita at kung sumagot naman hindi derecho kung sumagot, pag tinatanong siya ng mga reporters sumasagot siya pero parang walang conviction ang mga sagot niya. If he was just as smart ang intelligent as his dad walang problema sa akin kung siya ang magiging presidente. Pero sa tingin ko hindi siya ganun kaTalino like his dad. Mas matalino si kris sa kanya.

Nung nagpresscon nga sa clubfilipino at nagbigay siya ng talumpati ay hindi man lamang siya tumingin sa camera. Malaking pagkakamali dahil ang pinakamagandang katangian ng isang magaling na pulitiko ay ang pakikipag-usap sa mga tao ng may eye contact. Para tuloy bumabasa lamang siya ng kung anung ewan. Walang sense sa akin ang mga sinasabi niya kase walang eye contact. Hanggang sa matapos ang talumpati wala.

Malamya, walang conviction, parang alang sense yung mga pinagbabasa niya. Binabasa na nga lang nabubulol pa. nakakawalang interes. me speech disability ba siya. ???

Ewan …………….. noynoy loser..

Nabasa ko somewhere..nagulat si Noy at nag-press conference na kaagad si Mar. Nag-uusuap pa lang ata sila at although, napag-usapan na ang pagkakanditato ni Noy..si Mar pumiyok kaagad. Ngayon ang tanong..tuloy pa kaya ang kasal nila ni Korina :) Si Korina ang sama…kahit masama ang loob niya kay Kiko Pangilinan, nakakalimutan ata niya na yung sinabi ni Kiko eh, general comment lang..nakalimutan ata niya na siya being a reporter and walang kinatatakutan..eh ang daming tinamaang tao, indirectly or directly.. Tapos magsasalita siya at mag-ko-comment na..”walang hiyang tao lang…”. Very unprofessional..paano pa kung maging first lady iyan..eh di patay na ang mga tao..anyone who would cross her or their path..patay..IMelda in the making!
