   @ Ge-Ann Pineda - As much as i want to post my Dad’s contact number i still has no permission from him if it’s permissible to post it online. Yes you can lift it but before it’s published let me first read it for go signal. I don’t want to get misquoted. Thanks for the kind words.

   Thank you very much jun.
   i intend to lift this part of your blog, if it’s ok.

   “i believe my dad is a good man and public servant. The message of Akbayan’s Risa Hontiveros and her group was unfair and not just. Does she knows my Dad well? Does she and her group knows that he is the fiercest and the most feared Judge in Lanao Province because of his integrity and his case decision is not for sale. He also garnered some awards like one of the Most Outstanding Judges in Philippines.”

   Please, let me know if you approve of this. Thanks :) by the way you can text me also at the number i gave you earlier :)if your dad will allow that his number be given to me :) more power!

    @ Veronica Uy - My cell is 09155532459.

    @ Ge-Ann Pineda - Please also state that my reaction was about the statement of Risa Hontiveros around January - this is the article http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2007/jan/18/yehey/metro/20070118met5.html

    I still have no permission to give out my Dad’s number. Sorry.

    Hi Jun,

    I’ve read reports saying your dad was mentioned in the Hello Garci tape.

    Is he the same person as Renault or Lou Macarambon?

    Kindly clarify this.

    Salamat. :)

19. Jun Says:

    Congrats Jun! I really feel for you and your family and how I really despise some of the oportunistic leftist group which are again riding on the bandwagon to dicredit your father. I mean really, what can you expect from someone like Ms. Hontiveros? She’s actually doing more harm than good. I do hope that the new commisioner prove them wrong. But then again your father can only do so much. Everyone should do their part in helping to clean the election process. I suggest to everyone that instead of the useless political bickering, let’s just help the commisioner in his fight for the right… and hopefully in our lifetime, we’d be able to install someone that has the moral ascedancy to lead the people.

    Wanted: Comelec Commissioner Qualifications:
    - Administration or Opposition doesn’t matter
    - With Integrity
    - Honest And Responsible

    ***

    Hope that he will be the one that will change Comelec from its reputation as the “magician of ballots.”, which was made during the time of Abalos.

    Hope the cheating scandal in Comelec would end under your father’s administration.

    We will be watching you too!

    Good luck to your father!

    on your father’s appointment, well, i wish him luck… and hope he is neither a garci, bedol, abalos, and so on (which would further sully the name of an already untrustworthy institution).

    on a completely unrelated note, i’m amused that mainstream media are pursuing cyberspace leads in a fairly, shall we say, lazy way (like comment #1). no offense meant to ms. uy, but couldn’t the media get such data themselves without having to ask jun?

    and jun, SEO-wise, i’m sure this page will shoot through the roof. heh heh.

    I hope your description of your dad is true. We need someone like that. However, as you probably know, PGMA has corrupted so many known people of integrity. If ever he gets confirmed by the CA, I hope he lives up to his reputation and doesn’t let anyone use him and be like garci and bedol.

    The appointment of your DAD is the answer of the 1986 Peace Agreement, Sen. Lacson was so apprehensive because he personally doesn’t like the moro to be in the mainstream of the of the gov’t. Thanks GMA that she feels the sentiments of the MORO People. I hope and pray and I am very sure that your dad will be a great asset to the COMELEC. Thanks

    I believe ur father is a good and more credible man. I cannot say if he is better than Abalos or not coz I judge not that I will not be judged too, ika nga. My only concern is thatI believe ur father has the necessary software to operate the COMELEC efficiently but he needs more some updated antivirus to clean the corrupted hardware and a strong processor to clean up the log jam.
    I was once a student at MSU-IIT and MSU-Marawi and I can always hear the good name of Tamanos’ and Macarambons’ (T&M). I was one of the students who organized the supposed ecumenical prayer rally commemorating the death of Ninoy Aquino and Sultan Al-Rashid Lukman last August 21, 1984 at MSU-Marawi. But it didn’t pushed through (nagkagulo lang) because before we can start my friends and I were already picked up by “men in uniform” and brought us to Camp Amai-Pakapak (Mr. & Mrs. September 7, 1984). It was during the visit of late bishop Tudtod (died in a Plane crash) at the said camp that we were informed not to worry because there were some good and influential persons that support our good cause. One of the mentioned name was T&M. I was then cleared but placed under the custody of a French missionary priest. After that incident I transferred to other universities. I ended up at DLSU, Mla and graduated but promise to my “ japanese sponsor” NO to politics anymore. I’m back in Mindanao doing some research now in the gov’t and help some private corporation in my simple way but I always cherish those name T&M. I haven’t met them personally but the sweetest things here they do not know that they saved my life once.
    PGMA took the risk but has a valid reason why she appoints your father.

    hi jun, i can relate. it’s hard to keep up with our dads especially when they’re super-achievers. my dad was the school president when i was in high school. and i tried my best not to do anything that would put my dad in a bad light. but when i got into college i rebelled against all this. i became the black sheep of the family and i’m still learning from all my mistakes. it’s good that we try your best to win dad’s approval. but i think just doing best what you love doing is enough. i know you make your dad proud now.

    While we are overwhelmed with your dads appointment, we are saddened by the fact that he forgot about family, onto which without family there wont be any comm. macarambon….
    just a professional comment, dont play with politicians especially in newly created provinces. Better yet be the judge that your dad once and look at the merits, evidences before making a blunder especially to FAMILY!!!!

    Dont be like GARCI, even if the evidences are in front of him and speaks the truth he goes for well something else…

    Hope your dad has a conscience and be a man with a word of honor….

    He is new and he already deprive a new province of its right of SUFFRAGE.1111

    Good luck…
