have you seen lately the tv ad on senatoriable tessie aquino oreta doing ala GMA.."i am sorry for lapse in judgment."if you recall, teresa aquino oreta has been tagged as the "dancing queen" during the impeachment rial of ex-president joseph estrada paricularly on that very moment when her colleagues decided not open the second envelope which was supposedly containing pieces of evidence agaisnt erap.
what can you say of her apologetic gesture on this tv ad? any comments?

I guess that was humbling for her to do that but then I would say that it would not convince me to vote for her this time since it only shows that she is there for convenience. I guess her political career is now over with her decision to join in the administration which she has staunchly opposed during her years of staying loyal with erap and now just so she was not chosen by the opposition she would switch her loyalty, I would say wrong political move for her.

It's weird seeing politicians doing that especially just because they're seeking re-election. In the first place, any politician should be more aware of their actions before they do them and should be more responsible of their actions. Interestingly, the apology comes months after she did it and during campaign period, nonetheless. I guess you have to do whatever it is that you should, regardless of whether it'll crush your credibility or not, just to get back the people's votes.

in my opinion, the real reason for the lowering of $ is due to very high and continuous remittance of OFWs/OCWs, and those who have migrated in rich countries like USA,Canada,UK,Singapore,and Japan. These people don't just send money everytime tuition fee is needed, but, they usually remit precious dollars monthly for sustainance of their loved ones here. GMA's boasting of increased investments is a myth, because millions of Filipinos are still jobless and if ever employed, they are underemployed. GMA boasts of call centers who cannot provide jobs for those who cannot speak English the American way,or speak other languages like Spanish, Korean, and Japanese. i'm not confident that a "labandera"(clothes-washer) who has never finished elementary and not exposed to an english-speaking environment can be employed as a rep in a call center company. what i'm trying to say is, there is no truth in what GMA is saying that more and more investments are coming in, and no Filipino is hungry. My goodness! She's as crazy as her ambitions!

Oh yea, that was so scripted and so unnatural, i just wish people would make good choices as to candidates they will vote this coming election and surely oreta should be one of those that will not be found in the list

First, when that happened 6 years ago, I really hated the "dancing queen" so much that I could have spank her. But as time goes on, I saw in Tessie a woman of substance -- a woman who has a strong will, a woman who committed a wrong gesture IN FRONT OF THE NATIONAL TV, and now a woman who got the courage to ask for forgiveness from the people. Is she less of a woman because of that? No, she is more of a woman. In fact, there are MORE politicians who are "dirtier" compared to her. I already forgiven and "embraced" her. Masyado namang kinawawa yung taong nagkamali at humingi ng tawad. By the way, had we lost millions on gov't money because of her dance? I doubt it. I WILL VOTE FOR HER this May as a sympathy for all that she has gone through. Win or lose.

i definitely don't like her. i can't seem to understand why she joined the administration side when she was once in the opposition? i guess, the reason why she apologized was because she want to get the sympathy of filipinos. maybe she's having a hard time in winning her position in the senate.

I'd rather say that she has no principles, her credibility was tainted not because of her being known as the "Dancing Queen". Her dancing at that time was an expression of her true feelings which I'm pretty sure had happen to everybody. So why say sorry? She has no principles, i should say, because she did not stand for what she was depending for. She only thinks of herself and which or who will give advantage to her to make it to the senate position, She is wasting her intelligence! I used to like her becasue she is the sister of the late Ninoy. But her principles are far beyond her brother and not even her sister-inlaw, Cory Aquino. She used to criticized and attack the present administration and now she chose to be in with the administration candidates hanging on thinking she will make it. POOR TESSIE. She wasted the legacy of her good brother.

Apologizing won't change the fact that I won't vote for her. Besides she is only saying she's sorry because she is running for the senate.
