Patuloy ang banta ng kudeta

Marami akong natanggap na text na galit na galit sa pagpa-papel ni Mike Arroyo sa laban ni Manny Paquiao lalo pa ng sabihin niya sa kanyang asawa, ā€œAmor te quiero muchoā€. Sa mga katulad kong indio na nakalimutan na ang ilang units ng Spanish sa kolehiyo, ang sinabi ni Mike Arroyo kay Gloria Arroyo ay [...]

People Power allergy

Next month, when Filipinos commemorate the 20th year of Edsa One, Arroyo will be in Washington D.C. Last Friday was the fifth anniversary of Edsa Dos that installed Arroyo in MalacaƱang without having been elected to the position. Not a word from MalacaƱang extolling the spirit of Edsa Dos as was their practice the last [...]

Karma ng Edsa Dos

Kinakarma si Gloria Arroyo sa ginawang niyang pang-aagaw ng pagka-presidente noong Jan. 20, 2001, ang Edsa Dos. Noong Biyernes ay panlimang anibersaryo ng EDSA II na siyang naglukluk kay Arroyo sa MalacaƱang kahit hindi siya binoto ng taumbayan sa ganoong posisyon. Di ba dapat, mahalagang petsa yun sa kanya at sa kanyang mga alagad? Ngunit [...]

Tracing Faeldon?

Though the incidents are not directly related, there were a lot of statements that came out in the Senate investigation on wiretapping yesterday that apply to the escape the other day of four Magdalo officers. I think the best quote came from former intelligence chief, Brig. Gen. (ret.) Rodolfo Canieso: “Obey stupid orders to the [...]

Statement of the four escaped Magdalo officers

In fulfillment of our sworn duty January 19, 2006 We have bolted from the repression of a bogus regime. We will no longer go along with the repression that this regime has to impose in order to continue its illegitimate rule. It is a repression that continues to prevent the members of the armed forces [...]

Oras ng desisyon

May natanggap akong text mga alas-dos ng umaga, kahapon, tungkol sa pagtakas raw ng ilang miyembro ng Magdalo, mga sundalo na nagsagawa ng Oakwoon mutiny noong Hulyo 2003. Nang hapon, nag-presscon si Army Chief Hermogenes Esperon at kinumpirma ang pagtakas nina Capt. Nathaniel Rabonza, First Lt. Lawrence San Juan, First Lt. Patricio Bumidang at First [...]

Dance of deception

THE Council of State was created by President Aquino in 1987 to provide the President with reliable information and competent advice on pressing issues and problems of national interest. Itā€™s a much more exclusive group than the National Security Council. It counts former presidents as members. Gloria Arroyo expanded the membership three years ago to [...]

Mahirap magkasakit ang mahirap

Noong isang linggo, pabalik-balik ako sa Philippine General Hospital para sa aking taunang medical check-up. Pangatlong taon ko na ito mula ako na-operahan sa cancer of the ovary at ang ibaā€™t-ibang test ang ginagawa sa akin : CT scan, ultrasound at lahat na klaseng blood test. Noong isang taon, sa Asian hospital ako nagpa-check up [...]

A thriving business

The Lakas-CMD national directorate meeting in MalacaƱang last Saturday was nothing but another show of force by Gloria Arroyo, who continues to struggle about her lack of mandate five years into her stay in MalacaƱang. It turned out to be more show than force. Before Lakas-CMD leaders, the master trapos, Arroyo, the supreme trapo, talked [...]

Magandang negosyo

Itinutulak ni Eastern Samar Gov. Ben Evardone , spokesperson ng Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines, ang Peopleā€™s Initiative para matuloy ang Charter Change na akala ng MalacaƱang ay magliligtas kay Gloria Arroyo sa kanyang ginawang krimen laban sa mamayang Pilipino. Paano kasi, alam nilang hindi nila pwedeng brasuhin ang Senado sa Cha-cha. Malabo [...]
