Clark Freeport, Pampanga—A human rights group in Central Luzon is blaming former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for the increased incidence of human rights violations here in her home province Pampanga.

Aurora Broquil, president of the group Defend Central Luzon, said seven intelligence units have been deployed in Pampanga alone since late last year, including those from the air force, army, the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP), the Philippine National Police, and even the National Bureau of Investigation. The number, she said, excludes the regular units of the AFP and PNP now deployed within Central Luzon.

Broquil said this is the reason Pampanga has been “terrorized.”

    He appealed to human rights groups not to be too hard on the AFP and PNP. “We are doing everything in our capacity to get away from the spectre left by martial law. Give us the chance to prove that we are protectors of the people and their rights,” (Lt. Gen.) Pangilinan said.

    Wala na ang spectre ng Marcos martial law. Matagal ng dapat narehab ang mga sundalo at kapulisan sa spectre ng martial law. Kahit si Sen. Enrile na kasama ni Pres. Marcos sa pagpasunod ng martial law ay mukhang narehab na rin nga. Bagong mga implementors na ito at ang purpose ay protektahan si GMA at gawaing walang oposisyon o kakalaban sa kanya. Government sponsored terrorism. Kawawa ang Pampanga. Pero masarap ang buhay ng mga sundalo at pulis dyan dahil jueteng ang financier. Mga jueteng associates ni GMA ang financiers. Nasisiguro ko buhay na buhay ang jueteng diyan. Si Gov pa.

    Sana makarating ng maaga ito kay Pres. Aquino III at may gawain siya. Kalimutan muna ang bagong video game and set niya.

  5. nobody is looking at arroyo anymore! the new flavor of the term is Aquino, kasalanan niya to! 🙂

    Looking at the faces of the mothers of the abductees, I can only commiserate with them. I can see my mother’s face in them. It is very hard to fathom what and how they feel. My mother just died last May of cancer. Yet she has not completely forgotten our martial law experience.

    “Para akong asong sunud ng sunod sa anak ko dahil takot na akong mawala siya sa paningin ko” says Salas mother. And that will not end there. Mrs. Salas will forever fear for her sons life and welfare. That happened to my mother, I know.

    Mahigit isang daan taon na, dami pa din insurrectos sa Pampanga. Sana wag naman maging ala Davao sila.

    talking of Congresswoman Arroyo..ano na ba ang nangyari sa mga ito? nalaman na ba ang nangyari kay Burgos? nasaan na ang mga Ampatuans? are the answers to the many questions we have been blown by the wind? sana naman bago lumisan si Mike and Gloria Arroyo sa mundong ito malaman na natin ang mga kasagutan….
