Babala sa mga gusto pang magsalita

Grabe itong nangyari na pagpatay kay Musa Dimasidsing, ang schools district supervisor, na siyang nanguna na magbulgar na wala naman talagang eleksyon na naganap sa Maguindanao kung saan 12-0 ang score sa senatorial elections, pabor sa Team Unity ni Gloria Arroyo.

Noong Sabado ng gabi, kakatapos lang kumain ng hapunan si Dimasidsing at nakatayo siya sa labas ng Madrasah (Islamic School) sa Pikit, North Cotabato ng biglang may narinig na putok. Tapos, nag brown out.

Naghagilap sila ng kani-kanilang flashlight ag laking gulat nila nang makita nila si Dimasidsing na duguang nakabulagta sa lupa. Patay.

Kaagad-agad sinabi ni Pagalungan vice mayor Norodin Matalam na ang nangyari ay may kinalaman sa nakaraang May 14 eleksyon. Si Matalam ay nagpu-protesta sa kanyang pagkatalo sa kandidato ni Gloria Arroyo sa pagka-mayor sa Maguindanao na si Uto Montawal.

Sabi ni Matalam na pinilit daw itong si Dimasidsing na pumirma ng parang certification na walang dayaan na nagyari noong May 14 eleksyonsa Maguindanao ngunit hindi siya pumayag.

Siyempre naman. Paano naman pirmahan ni Dimasidsing ang ganoong certification samantalang siya nga ang buong tapang na nanguna na magbulgar na wala naman talagang eleksyon na nagagap si Maguindanao kung saan number one si Chavit Singson at panalo lahat ang buong TU. Bokya naman marami sa mga Genuine Opposition na kandidato para senador.

Dahil sa paglabas ni Dimasidsing, mga ilan pang titser ang nagsalita at ikinuwento nila kung paano sila pinilit na mag-manufacture ng resulta ng eleksyon doon. Ginamit pa ang mga bata para sa dayaan sa pamamgitan ng kanilang mga thumbmark.

Tama si Matalam na ang pagpatay kay Dimasidsing ay kaugnay sa nakaraang eleksyon. Ito ay para hindi na makapagsalita si Dimasidsing na lahat-lahat niyang mga nalalaman kasama na ang mga personlidad na kasali sa krimeng dayaan.

Ito ay babala rin sa iba na tumahimik na lang sila tungkol sa kanila nalalaman sa May 14 eleksyon.

Makunsyensa dapat ang mga election operator ng Malacañang na dahil sa kanilang page-enganyo sa mga pulitiko sa Maguindanao, nahantong sa dayaan at ngayon kamatayan ng isang marangal na opisyal.

Maala-ala natin na bago mag-eleksyon, nangako ang isang mataas ng opisyal sa Manguindanao na magbibigasy ng isang milyong piso sa bawat barangay na makapagbigay ng 12-0 sa TU.

Makonsensiya din dapat ang Comelec lalo na ang chairman na si Benjamin Abalos dahil sa kanilang pagbulang-bulagan ang pagbingi-bingihan, maging matapang ang loob ng mga mandaraya.

    I believe the Authorities again had failed in their duty to protect those who had the courage to speak out about the wrongdoings. Is this another warning for those to shut up and live or speak out and die? But again who in this Government or even in the whole society cares? Another statistic.

    Another death added to the scores already forgotten. As usual, business will go on. And to where it is bound to, no one and nobody is now sure.

    What happened to Dimasidsing is a clear warning to other whistle blowers! There’s only one motive behind the killing: To shut up the TRUTH! Asking who are the people behind this is a STUPID QUESTION! Even a grade schooler would know. Where are the COMOLEK people headed by Abalos? And who were quick to deny? Di ba may kasabihan tayo, “Ang manok na unang pumutak ang unang nangitlog?

    Dapat lang ISUMPA ang gumawa ng krimeng ito!

    Kung doon kaya sa tapat ng bahay ni Tita Migz (Daya-na) Zubiri iburol ang bangkay, matauhan kaya siya? Ilan pa kayang Dimasidsing ang magbubuwis ng buhay maisakatuparan lang ng mga mandaraya ang pag-upo sa puwesto at nang makapagnakaw sa kaban.

    Ang mga taong pumatay sa kanya ay hindi na dapat bigyan ng kapangyarihan dahil hindi pa man, inaabuso na ang karapatan ng iba.

    Itigil na ang anumang eleksiyon sa ARMM. Hindi sila marunong gumamit o gumalang ng karapatang bumoto! Hindi rin naman kayang ipatupad ng pamahalaan ang maayos na eleksiyon doon.

    Tapusin na ang kahibangang iyan at marami pang buhay ang maisasalba.

  4. rose rose

    Paano makonsensiya si Abalos- sa wala naman siya noon. At ang sagot niya lagi ay wala siyang alam. For him- ignorance is bliss. Ignorance of the law, however, is not an excuse. Abogado ba siya? Baka naman aboga-o? Hindi kaya siya nangdaya sa bar? Bumayad pa siya? Ang ibig kong sabihin ay noong uminom siya ng beer sa bar- bumayad ba siya? Kayo naman- iba ang nasa-isip ninyo. Pero puede din!

  5. TonGuE-tWisTeD TonGuE-tWisTeD

    Ang kabayanihan ni Dimasidsing ay kahanga-hanga. Alam niyang maaring kitlin ang buhay niya sa pagbulgar na ginawa niya, ngunit hindi sapat iyon upang pigilan siyang sa kanyang pagsisiwalat upang kahit paano’y maging simula sana ng pag-aayos sa bulok na pamamalakad ng COMELEC sa kaniyang probinsiya.

    Tunay siyang Dimasidsing, di lang siya nag-masid, ikinanta pa niya ang malawakang panlolokong lagi na lang ipinipilit sa ating tanggapin tuwing may eleksiyon.

    Hindi sana napunta sa wala ang sakripisyo niya. Mabuhay ka, kapatid!

    Sabi ni Chairman Abalos generally peaceful daw ang eleksyon. Totoo po dahil maraming Rest In Peace (R.I.P.)forever. Sana multuhin at makarma ang mga utak sa pamaslang kay Musa Dimasidsing.

  7. One thing these crooks are forgetting is that the more Filipinos are pushed to the brink, the more they become daring and bolder as when they voted for Trillanes despite the attempt to discourage Filipinos from voting for him.

    Even soldiers voted for this gallant man they now must be looking for salvation from these crooks who have made criminals of them as when they are made to shoot and kill their fellow Filipinos especially when they are not the enemies but these crooks who have made slaves of them and their countrymen.

    Enough is enough. PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  8. Now, how do they solve this new killing that everyone know for sure who are responsible? There definitely is someone responsbible for this killing, especially when from the beginning everyone knew these whistleblowers were risking their lives when they exposed the cheatings in Maguindanao.

    The question now is how many more lives have to be sacrificed for this unano to stay there at the palace by the murky river? This ogre and her cohorts should be stopped NOW! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  9. One thing I find really amazing is why they allow the crook to make these appointments in places where she should not in fact have people kissing and licking her smelly butt.

    Golly, the police, the Supreme Court and most of all the COMELEC should have been free of these political appointees who are likely to do what these appointees are now doing for their lord and master! Ang bobo naman ng gumawa ng sistemang iyan. Talagang to the dogs ang ginagawa sa mga pilipino! Puede ba, I-abolish na lang ang COMELEC. Wala namang silbi ang agency na iyan. Drain lang sa taxpayers lalo na kung binababoy lang naman ng isang kriminal.

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  10. chi chi

    Dimasidsing is a hero, nagbuwis ng buhay para sa bayan!

    At ang lintek na si Gloria ay nagsinungaling sa Pope na mawawala na raw ang killings and murders sa Pilipinas! Itong psycho na tianak ang dapat mawala sa mundo at hindi ang mga nagtutuwid sa mga kadayaan ng mga Hinayupaks na kampon ni Gloriang Sinungaling! GGGGRRRR! Nakakakulo ng dugo ang pangit na babaeng ito!

  11. chi chi

    Rest in Peace nga Ka Diego ang mga matatapang na teachers na nagbunyag ng dayaan. Iyan ang “peaceful election” under the dark regime of Gloria Pidal!

    Ang daming buhay na ang nagbuwis para sa katotohanan, lahat ay pinapatay! Iyong baliw na babae sa Malacanang ang dapat mag-diarrhea muli at ma-dehydrate hanggang sa ma- DOA sa St Lukes! Pesteng babae itong si Gloria!

    Sorry Ellen. Talagang hindi ko matiis dahil sa isa namang buhay ang maagang nasawi dahil lang sa dayaan!

    Let’s all pray for Dimasidsing. Sana ay hindi malimutan ng bayan ang kanyang kabayanihan!

  12. BOB BOB

    May kutob ako na may kinalaman si Chavit sa pagkakapatay kay Mula Dimasidsing….diyan magaling si chavit at mga tauhan niya…alam niya na hindi siya pagbibintangan dahil katwiran niya talo na naman siya at ano ang mapapala niya sa pagpatay kay Mula…tignan niyo tahimik ang kumag ngayon…

  13. chi chi

    Proclaimed GOs, in full force or individual, should initiate moves to ferret out the truth behind Dimasidsing’s death, or at least do something about it! Bibilib ako sa kanila kung merong kikilos tungkol dito o ayudahan man lang ang pamilya ng pinaslang na school district supervisor. Time to make ingay, Senators!

  14. Regarding Bedol: Asked about witnesses, he disregards them as not being legitimate. And yet, who are we to believe, these teachers who would risk death in order to provide testimony, or Lintang Bedol who refused the watchdog’s pleas to observe the canvassing, the same Lintang Bedol who has gone missing for the last two weeks. I honestly think that Lintang Bedol must be out of his mind when he tells us to believe him and not the witnesses.

    But the way justice is for Lintang Bedol, he is presumed stupid until found guilty.

  15. Regarding Abalos:

    “Paano naging testigo agad? Bakit di dalhin sa Comelec (Why was he labeled a witness? Why wasn’t he brought to the Comelec)?” he said.

    “May tinatag na task force sa pangunguna ni commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer. Naghahanap ito ng testigo. Wala akong alam na statement na naipadala sa amin (We already set up a task force under Nicodemo Ferrer. It is looking for witnesses. I am not aware of any witness’ statement that has reached my office),” Abalos said.

  16. chi chi

    Kapag ang Malacanang ay “naghuhugas ng kamay” sa mga patayan o disappearances…siguradong merong silang alam o kinalaman!

  17. Poor Abalos and Bedol, suffeiring from Selective blindness and deafness…

  18. chi chi

    Ay tangang Abalos, walang-alam pareho ng kanyang among tianak! Wala pa lang alam, e di umalis sa pwesto! pesteng yawa Abalos!

  19. chi chi

    Nick,

    I believe that Abalos and Bedol suffer from selective blindness and deafness because they just follow Gloria’s lapse of judgement! May pagmamanahan or were told to do so!

  20. It’s maddening how they belittle these witnesses, and have the audacity to tell us that they knew nothing of these witnesses…
    It’s maddening and sickening at how they could not provide security for such an important witness, it is the Comelec’s duty to secure these witnesses..
    But the latest statement coming from Abalos is that these witnesses must ask Comelec…
    Damn it, if they want to know the truth, then they should be proactive and provide the security needed… Seeing all along that Maguindanao was going to be a controversy, these witnesses should have been high priority..

  21. chi chi

    “But the latest statement coming from Abalos is that these witnesses must ask Comelec…”

    Yeah right! They’ll all be dead before KOMOLEK attends to their request for security! Ginagago tayo ni Abalos, bullshit!

  22. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Walang tiwala ang mga testigo sa Comelec dahil hindi nila makalimutan ang Hello Garci cover-up operations. Ang PNP,AFP, PSG, DILG, NSC, DOJ, DND, Comelec at Tutang Kongreso ay boung puwersang pinagtakpan ang eskandalong Gloria-Garci. Palpak si Abalos.

    DIBA MAG KAKAMUKHA SILA

  25. Ngayon dapat na ipakita ng mga pilipino ang tapang nila. Meanwhile, my sincere condolence sa mga relatives at family ng matapang at magiting na mamamayan ng Pilipinas na si Musa Dimasidsing. God bless his soul! May he rest in peace. Marami pang lalabas na katulad niya kahit na ano pang kawalanghiyaan ang iutos at ipagawa ni Gloria Makapal Arroyo y Pidal. Multuhin sana siya ng mga taong ito.

  26. Chi:

    Si Abalos? Iyan ang tunay na Dugong Aso! Kening burimo din ang ungas sa totoo lang. Magkakababayan sila noong una! Tabi-tabi sa mga kapampangan, pero dapat itong mga ganitong hudas ay hindi na ninyo itinataguyod. Nasisira ang ginagawa ninyo paghuhugas ng image ng mga kapampangan na hindi mga dugong aso. Ito lang sigurong lahi ni Gloria at Abaloslos. Nananalaytay ang dugong aso sa kanila.

    Alam ko maliban pa sa traydor na, mayabang pa at higit sa lahat, malandi ang mga babaing dugong asong katulad noong magnanakaw na sinungaling pang pandak na nasa palasyong katabi ng mabahong ilog na lalong nababoy dahil sa walanghiyang unanong iyan. Tapos manggagalaiti iyong anak na babaing pasingit-singit sa mga egroups para sa mga pilipino para manggulo o sikaping ma-brainwash ang mga kasali doon. Nice try mga inutil. Malapit na kayo! Kasi, ang Diyos ay di natutulog. Humihingi ng katarungan ang lahat ng mga napaslang na para lang ang unano ay makapanatili sa kinalalagyan niya ngayon.

  27. May this be a comfort to the bereaved family of Musa Dimasidsing (Dimasid man ang pangalan niya pero nagmasid siya!), a quote from the Revelation:

    And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
    And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? (Rev. 6: 9-10)

    In short, may araw din sila! Hopefully, malapit na!

  28. Bob: May kutob ako na may kinalaman si Chavit sa pagkakapatay kay Mula Dimasidsing….diyan magaling si chavit at mga tauhan niya…

    *****

    Bob, lahat sila sa TU should be held responsible for this anomaly. Tignan natin kung magkakalakas ng loob na humirit sina Joker Arroyo, Angara, Hudasan at iyong mga nag-concede nang talo despite claims by Ms. Zubiri at Chavit ‘Kinana Singson that they are sure to win still with the added tampered votes from Maguindanao etc. Maghalo na ang balat sa tinalupan kung sakali!

  29. Oo nga, Vonjovi, bakit magkakamukha ang mga iyan. Ang pangit ng mga mukha! Taka nga ako doon sa anak ng mga Vera-Perez na si Manay Gina kung bakit pumatol kay JdV. Parang nawalan na ng pag-asang makapag-asawa! Ngeeeeeeeek! Suka, suka, suka,suka!!!

  30. alitaptap alitaptap

    Talagang maitim ang budhi ng mga pumatay kay Musa Dimasidsing. Hindi man lang nila naisip ang mga musmus na batang maulila sa kanilang nanay. Dapat tanungin ang school electrician kung sino sino ang kasangkot. Nagbrownout, di ba?

  31. rose rose

    Tongue: Tama ka dapat sa tapat ng bahay ni Zubiri iburol si Musa. O kaya dalhin ang bangkay niya sa Maynila at ipakita sa buong mundo ang nangyari gaya noong dinala ang bangkay ni Evelio Javier sa Maynila. Hindi ba malaki ang community ny mga Muslims sa Echague at may temple sila doon at ang Echague ay malapit sa Malacanang. Something to think about….Isang bayani si Musa- She is the Muse of truth- and may she rest in peace.

  32. Elvira Sahara Elvira Sahara

    May addition na naman sa mga Mandaraya…si lintang Bedol. Four operations ng Math lang talaga ang mga happenings sa ating bansa mula ng illegal na umupo sa Silya ang mwisit na Unano sa malakanyang! Addition at Multiplication ang mga killings; Subtraction ang hunger at unemployment; while Division naman ang Opposition!
    Si Manang Zubz medyo natahimik kasi iniisip pa ang next DAYA move! O, di ba..onli in da Pilipins!
    Mwisit muhay Minoy ba!

  33. What a louse! Maniwala kang walang kinalaman ang militar sa pagkamatay ni Dimasidsing. Bumalik lang si unano nadelikado na ang mga buhay ng mga gustung ituwid ang takbo sa kanilang bansa. Kaya sinong may sabing walang kinalaman ang mga walanhiyang iyan sa ganitong krimen.

    Dapat diyan nagre-resign na si Calderon at iyong hepe ng pulis sa Maguindanao. Dito sa Japan iyan, marami nang nasibak at nagpakamatay.

    Hindi lang condolence sa pamilya ni Dimasidsing, condolence din sa lahat ng mga mamamayan ng Pilipinas. Mag-iisang libo na ang mga napapatay simula ng mang-agaw ng presidency iyong bobang tapalaning unano. Sa totoo lang ang sarap babuyin ng ungas kasi baboy naman sa totoo lang. PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

    Iyong Lintang Bedol, mukha talagang hindi gagawa ng matino. Mukhang hoodlum!!! Pwe! Ang pangit!!!

  34. Ang unang dapat na imbestigahan maliban doon sa pangi na Linta, at mga commissioner ng COMELEC ay ang mga kandidatong desperadong gaya ng binabaing Zubiri. Wala nang panalo ang ungas umaasa pa rin sa dayang boto. Tutang ina niya!

    Iyong Kinanang Singson, maski sa Ilocandia, hindi naka-score ang walanghiyang awan bain niya dahil hindi naman ULOL ang mga Ilocano para ipahiya ng hayup na mamang iyan. Masusunog din ang kaluluwa niyan sa totoo lang.

    Hoy, Abaloslos, ideklara mo na si Trillanes! Baka talagang gusto mong magrebolusyon na dugong aso ka!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! Tama si Vonjovi, magkakamukha nga ang mga ungas—puro pangit! Maganda pa iyong bakulaw sa Manila Zoo! Challenge kay Legarda. Puede ba paki-expose mo kung magkano ang tinaya ng kaeskuwela mo sa eleksyong ito? Pag nagawa mo ito, bibilib na ako sa iyo!

  35. Banana Republic run by a Banana queen with her Banana military!

  36. Can anyone confirm the gender of Musa Dimasidsing.. I’m getting conflicting reports. One story writes “She”, some have said “He”, and some have remained vague and without a gender, as well as the age of Dimasidsing..

  37. parasabayan parasabayan

    My prayers are for Musa Dimasidsing. His death will not be in vain. Sooner or later all these unnjustified killings will be unraveled one by one and the finger will point to just one responsible person- the Tiyanak. She has licensed everyone in her camp to kill all in the name of her political survival. More killings will occur unless we put a stop to it!

    This Bedol looks like a hardened criminal just short of wearing an orange jacket!

  38. Clarified: Musa Dimasidsing was 60, Male, District Supervisor, and hero…

  39. I just viewed the You Tube video in The Bystander’s blog http://www.sikwati.wordpress.com.

    Must tell you all that I was sickened by what I saw and by the report I heard. We may all turn to the beauty of legalese to apply justice but the law must be discerning so as not to free the criminals.

    In that video (and the testimonies we hear, the reports we read all over the place, the stupefying results of the election in Maguindanao, etc), we see that there are more than enough circumstacial evidences to show that election manipulations and cheatings in the higest degree occurred in the Maguindanao elections.

    Bedol is not only not credible – he is a thief of the worst variety! A pig would have more decency than this so-called election official of the crappest variety! After admitting that election manipulations do and di occur in Maguindanao last May 14, how could he not even have questioned the 12-0 results before bringing those CoCs to Manila?

    Simple: To my mind, he was part of the sting and Comelec is the commandatore with Gloria’s government the financier!

    Those people in the gym allowing that to happen should be rounded up and questioned, indicted if proven that they participated in the election heist and convicted for criminal acts if judged guilty!

    At the same time, how on earth can you evin begin to apply the rule of law when the officials designated by Law are the first to break that law? How can you indict the election heisters when the person at the helm in Malacanang is the first commandatore of the Mafia gangland style of election smuggling?

    As Jean-Jacques Rousseau said, the law must be applied with REASON, the spirit of the law must not be twisted for the law to be best served!

    Arroyo reiterates call for unity at Independence Day rites

    By Maila Ager

    Last updated 09:24am (Mla time) 06/12/2007

    MANILA, Philippines — (UPDATE) President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo reiterated her call for unity on Tuesday urging all leaders to set aside politics and prioritize the interest of the people as she led the country’s celebration of the 109th anniversary of Independence Day.

    “Obligasyon nating lahat sa ating mga ninuno lalo na sa mga nagbuwis ng kanilang dugo at buhay para sa ating kalayaan na tayo’y magkaisa at magsikap upang mabigyan ng magandang buhay ang bawat Filipino (It is our duty to our forebears, especially to those who gave their lives for our freedom, that we unite and uplift the quality of life of every Filipino),” Arroyo said in her speech after flag-raising and wreath-laying ceremonies at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila.

    http://www.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=70786

    kahit huwag ng magkaroon ng pakikipagkaisa sa kanya dahil BINABABOY lamang naman ng garapal na ‘yan ang sambayanan!

    ang tunay na kalayaan ay ang paglaya sa mapanupil niyang pamumuno at pagtatamasa ng tunay na pagkakaisa, katahimikan, pagsusunuran at pagdadamayan sa pagitan ng mga mamamayan. subalit habang siya ang nasa malakanyang – HUWAG NA LANG!

  43. Ellen and my friends, I’m doing a writing project regarding the recent murder of Musa Dimasidsing, the district supervisor who was shot dead, he was the election official who exposed the election fraud and anomalies that occurred in Maguindanao.

    I hope you can join the writing project and write a blog post about your reaction, and we will link to your post, we will collect the links everyday and post them in one blog post starting Wednesday until Sunday. We will make combine all the links on Sunday evening in one post.

    You can read about the writing project on my recent post and also find out how you can join. I hope everyone can join, and let’s make our voices heard, let’s stand up for the heroism of Musa and hope that his death does not go in vain.

  45. Re Magno’s PDI/Gloria quote “(It is our duty to our forebears, especially to those who gave their lives for our freedom, that we unite and uplift the quality of life of every Filipino),”

    Eh ikaw ang may pinakamalaking utang sa bansa, et di umpisahan mo na magbayad, gaga ka ba! Unity?

  46. Ang dugo ni Mr Musa Dimasidsing ang ginagawang pambabayad ng utang sa bansa ng hayop na si Gloria!

  47. AdeBrux and everyone else, your anger is justified, it is the fire of patriotism that you feel. the fire for justice…

  48. BOB BOB

    Ystakei,
    Hindi mo masisisi si Manang Gina de Venecia na pumatol kay Joe de Vi…kasi nuong bata bata palang sila mahilig si manang Gina sa Poodle, cute na cute siya…eh malay ba niya na pag dating ng araw at nagka-idad na sila ay magmumukhang Unggoy na si Joe De Vi….nakakapagsisi raw !

  49. Nick,

    My mother who is not remotely political in the sense that she’s not at all a political activist, i.e., pro or con rang me last night to insist that I should not go to the Philippines at all this summer to visit her and relatives and instead she will come and see me anywhere I am but outside Pinas. She says, no need for me to be an eyewitness to the continuing degradation of Philippine society under Gloria (I will just get angrier according to her.) For one who rarely say bad words (in total opposition to my character), my Mom couldn’t help but blurt in reference to Gloria: “E, talagang hayop kung sa hayop!”

  50. Magno,

    Independence day is worth celebrating when Pinas has finally become independent of Gloria and her cabal of bogus government officials. Until then, what is there to celebrate about?

  51. Gloria’s call for unity to pay back the blood, sweat and tears of our forebears so that independence could be achieved is a crime when the blood of Mr Musa Dimasidsing was spilt because he wanted to break the wall of silence and this well of impunity under Gloria’s election cheating regime!

  52. ADB,

    Not only that, but the “security” of Gloria will soon be ramping up once the new bill is activated…

    I myself, remain anonymous with regards to my identity, due to the topics I write about…

    This is why I have such high regards for Ellen and other journalists, including citizens who stand up for what’s right..

    I call up colleagues, family, and friends everyday, and sometimes it’s almost too much to bear, it makes my heart sink with such sorrow, but most of me stays strong and perseveres despite the atrocities..

    I hope you come home, let not the corruption sway you, we are making a difference…

    Maigagalang mo ba ang mga Bisaya sa pagmumukha ni Jacinto Paras?

    Sino ba si Jacinto Paras noong panahon ng impeachment campaign sa Kongreso?

    Totoo na ang founding fathers ng bansa ay nagmula sa Kabisayaan.Nandyan sina Manuel Roxas, Sergio Osmeña at marami pang iba.

    Pero sa katauhan ni Paras na isang collaborator sa sindikato ni Arroyo?Maipagmamalaki mo ba ito?

    Karamihan sa mga Cebuano ay may paninindigan.
    Pero sa ipinapakita ni Jacinto Paras na mas kinikilala nya ang otoridad ng Kamaynilaan, isang indikasyon ito na kaya nyang iwan ang Kasebuanuhan.

    Mas makakabuti na dyan na lang sya sa Negros at atupagin ang pangunahing pangangailan nito.

     

    Binabati ko ang partido ni Francis Matugas – PARTIDO PADAJON SURIGAO.
    Mabuhay kayo!

    Sa ipinakita nyo, ibig sabihin nito ay kaya nyo palang pumalag sa TRAPO Politics na naka-sentro sa Kamaynilaan.

  59. Yes, what is there to celebrate about when the Filipinos are being held by the neck by these criminals running the country like hell. The unano is a first class criminal. She should be removed now.

    She has no right to be making decisions for the Filipinos. She does not have that mandate because the majority of Filipinos did not vote for her as she in fact has admitted that she has sanctioned and authorized fellow criminals to cheat for her. Unfortunately, with the justice department, the military and the police now dominated by her appointees, she cannot be removed unless the Filipinos perhaps get the courage to remove her by force even by a revolution that would probably need to be bloody since peaceful rallies do not have any effect on these crooks who have the nerve to even hurt even religious people joining these rallies, not just by hosing them with dirty water from the dirty river by the palace but really clubbing them.

    I actually saw a Franciscan priest in some rally against the extrajudicial killing being clubbed by policemen from the AFP. For this I cannot understand why the members of the CBCP would not even dare boldly tell the idiot to step down so peace can come back to the country and the Filipinos can start anew in their pursuit for a better Philippines, not one where the presidents are conceived of being robbers and thieves, and now even as pimps as these crooks engage in human trafficking of Filipinos.

    Declare Trillanes and Koko now as Senators of the Philippines. Otherwise, PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  60. Unity daw. sabi ni unano. There is unity among Filipinos now, but not to benefit her. They are now united and almost ready to remove her! This is what we can see from our end as a matter of fact. Tutang ina nila! Tamaan sana sila ng kidlat.

    Hayop din iyong si Abalos. ano? Ang tindi ng apog. Ang tanda na sinungaling pa. Malapit nang mamatay hindi pa magbago. Alam ko sa Pilipinas, lifespan ng mga pilipino maikli. I doubt if this guy can live for another 10 years. Dapat diyan, nagsisisi na sa mga kahayupang pinaggagagawa nila.

  63. Ellen,

    I wonder what your take is on the present declaration of Bakero re Trillanes. Golly, palusot ang mga ungas. Let’s be on the watch out, however, because we cannot trust these crooks. They may try to hurt our favorite Senator unless they can feel the wrath of heaven when they try to thwart the Will of God in making the impossible possible with Trillanes proving to all that God still answers prayers said from the heart as a lot many of us prayed for Senator Trillanes’ victory, and that no one can stop the Will of God whose help a lot many of us have implored. Baka gabaan sila if they try!

    Senator Trillanes also has proved that Filipinos are not lame ducks, and if they have the will, they can as when they are able to give Senator Trillanes their winning votes at a very low cost!!! Iyan ang bayanihang tunay! Mabuhay ka Sonny Trillanes. Don’t ever forget this moment when your fellow Filipinos let you win because they have faith and trust in you. God bless you!

Anong gustong mangyari ng hayup na ito? Maghalo ang balat sa tinalupan? Pakimura nga sa kapampangan kasi mukhang no talab ang mura sa tagalog sa dugong asong ito.

    My apologies in thinking that Musa was a female. MAY HE REST IN PEACE! Maiba ako- Abalos said that it is still mathematically possible that Trillanes’ ranking could change- kasi 800,000 pa daw ang bibilangin. The other day day 300,000 lang- saan nangaling ang 500,000? Hindi nga sila nagbabawas pero dagdag na man ng dagdag para kay Zubiri- kaya pala si Sobre-Diana ay MA-SAYA kuno. Ano kayang kulay ang Saya niya? Shocking Pink? Electric Blue?

    The root of it all is our justice system. No witness, no crime. But the highest tribunal overturned many cases to suit its master, one is the impeachment where it decided there was abdication even without any elemental evidence at all. CJ Puno realizes that. And there is the daily chorus of the police that we have a peaceful election. Calderon must be good at getting dictations only. Now they want us to listen to the soldiers say they dont like Trillanes. Esperon is now the head shrink.

    Kagagawan ng mga Lintang sumisipsip ng dugo ng mamamayang kinikitil para mabaluktot ang diwa ng demokratikong eleksiyon.

    Kagagawan ng Rey na siyang hari ng mga nakakakilabot na mga insektong Sumalipao sa malansang hanging umiihip sa Katimugan ng dugong nagsusumigaw ng katotohanan.

    doon pinagpasyahan ng iilan ang kapasyahan ng bayan.
    Doo’y nakapaghalal ang mga taumbayan
    nang di naghahalal:
    sa maraming bayan sa mga lalawigang iyon,
    ni hindi nila nahipo ang mga balota.

    Isang milyon halos ang mga botong mula roon,
    mga botong isinulat ng mga kamay
    na karamiha’y hindi nakahawak ng balota —
    isang milyon halos na botong kung ibilang na lahat
    ay sapat upang itakda ang kapalaran
    ng dalawang mahigpit na naglalabang koalisyon.

    Maguindanao, Sulu, Lanao del Sur:
    doon ibinaba ng iilan ang hatol ng mga mamamayan
    sa karampot na kriminal na ayaw maparusahan.

    PRESS RELEASE
    25 May 2007

    Suara believes no 12-0 in Pagalungan, Maguindanao,

    urges COMELEC to get hold of ERs, start canvassing now

    PAGALUNGAN, MAGUINDANAO – Suara Bangsamoro Party list today said that a 12-0 turn out will never be possible in the Municipality of Pagalungan, Maguindanao where 38 ballot boxes from eight barangays are yet to be opened.

    To prove this claim, Suara Bangsamoro urges the COMELEC to secure the ballot boxes and start its canvassing immediately.

    Pagalungan in Maguindanao became controversial when members of the Board of Election Inspectors here refused to transport 38 ballot boxes from the Sangguniang Bayan of Pagalungan to the municipality of Shariff Aguak, the venue of the provincial canvassing, as the municipal canvassing in Sangguniang Bayan is not yet done.

    According to a member of the BEI, they were instructed by the Municipal Election Officer last May 11 to deliver the ballot boxes to the Sangguniang Bayan for the municipal canvassing. However, on the day of the election, Elisa Gasmin, Municipal Election Officer, suddenly ordered them to transport the ballot boxes in four private vans outside the Sangguniang Bayan.

    “They refused to give the ballot boxes to deliver to Shariff Aguak because the vans according to them are not the official vehicles of the COMELEC and there was no document shown to them as proof that the directive of transferring the ballot boxes is also official,” Zaynab Ampatuan, National Chairperson of Suara Bangsamoro said.
    The proclamation of local candidates was already done even if the 38 ballot boxes are still unopened with 190 election returns.
    According to Suara Bangsamoro, the Commission on Elections should get hold of the ballot boxes immediately so that the teachers will be relieved of their election duties.
    “The members of the BEI in Pagalungan have been guarding the ballot boxes inside the Sangguniang Bayan of Pagalungan for ten days already and up to this date, no election officer from the COMELEC is replying to their request to secure the ballot boxes,” Ampatuan said.

    She added that these BEIs have already abandoned their other responsibilities in their families and in school to safeguard the ballot boxes.

    “They have been safekeeping the ballot boxes day and night relying to the support of the community for their daily consumption, ” Ampatuan said. #

  85. Nick:

    Suicide is no cowardly act as a matter of fact. It is a good way to eliminate and lessen the number of crooks as we have witnessed in the Land of the Rising Sun.

    In fact, there is a verse in the Bible where cutting off one’s life is considered acceptable and honorable or kind of implied it to be so. Especially for Filipinos who have been trained to think of suicide as an unforgivable sin, taking one’s life surely takes a lot of courage!

    Even the Japanese, who are indoctrinated in doing it right by self-destruction, think one is courageous enough to do such a thing for there are a lot many people who cannot do it regardless of whether they are Christians or not.

    For your reference, here are the said verses in the Bible:

    “And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.” (Matt. 5: 30)

    “Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.” (Matt. 18: 8)

    “And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:” (Mark 9: 43)

    Just my yen!

  86. Elvie:

    Tama ang sinabi mo. Parang katulad noong ginagawa ng mga Moslem na patay kung patay when Dimasidsing squealed the crooks who were told to cheat for the TU as per instruction from the Master Cheat who could even have the nerve to pretend to be holy!

    Di hamak namang banal ang ginawa ni Musa kahit na parang suicidal ang ginawa niya for the sake of truth and right. May he rest in peace. At least, he will no longer bear the heartaches and pains of seeing his country and people go down the drain or to the dogs. May his sacrifice not be in vain.

  87. Luzvinminda: he paid his life for THE TRUTH

    *****

    Luz, the word is not “paid” but “staked” as when he staked his life for the sake of truth and right! Iyan ang dapat na pinupugayan ni Unano, but can she bear doing that knowing that she has a lot to answer for the death of this brave man? I doubt. Makapal na talaga ang mukha niya kung gagawin pa niyang magkunyaring nakikiramay sa pinapatay niya at ng mga kaalyado niya. Talaga naman! Ang daming inaaksayang pera na hindi naman nababawi gawa ng puro bakasyon naman ang ginagawa at paglulustay ng perang hindi naman kaniya.

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  88. Ooops, this quote “Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.” is found in Matt. 18 verse 8.

  89. Tongue T: Hindi nga pala pwedeng iburol si Musa Dimasidsing kung Muslim siya.

    *****

    Parang Ifugao pala ha, especially when the dead is a victim of violence.

    Many years ago, I saw a documentary on the Ifugaos and how they honor and bury their dead. Victims of violence, and even traffic accidents or people dying for no valid reason are immediately buried to prevent the spirit from staying and getting confused if not diabolical. Those who die of natural death are mummified by putting their corpses sitting up at their favorite habitats or rendezvous, oiling the body every day so the body will not smell awful and decomposition slowed down. Then, they are put in some jar and buried in some caves in the mountains.

    I wonder if the Moslems do the same.

  90. Whether or not Senator-elect Koko Pimentel is declared a winner or not, I hope he and his father will do their dumbest to bring to justice all these crooks responsible for these election sabotages and have the guilty punished for life. Iyan ang pinakamalaking contribution nila sa pagpapatino ng bansa if they succeed.

    All should be behind what they do. I sign my name on this proposition—IKULONG IYONG UNANO, ABALOS, GARCILLANO, LINTA, ET AL!

  91. Yuko, just a bit of clarification nga lang re “I hope he and his father will do their dumbest…” you must have meant DAMNEST BEST instead of “dumbest?”

    Baka kasi ma-shock si Sen Pimentel… heheh!

    Chi,

    Hindi ba siraulo si Exequiel Javier? Namatay ang kapatid niya para ipagtanggol ang balota, siya naman kakampi ng numero unong mandaraya ng eleksiyon!

    Yuko,
    Nagulat ako, ang nagbabantay pala sa mga Ampatuan, Ampatuan din. Yang Suara Bangsa-Moro e oposisyon iyan, a. Thanks for the post.

  93. Yuko, this may be the first time we disagree with regards to suicide… I’ve always thought that it was the thought of disgrace that led to suicide with regards to Japanese culture of honorable suicide, I think the more courageous thing to do is to face your disgrace, it’s a cop out in my view…

    with regards to the bible verse, I’ve always thought of that passage as the fact that God is more concerned with the health of our soul, thus let go of our vices and sins, the physical world is finite, but our soul.. that is infinite…

    But, let’s not get into any more philosophy, lest we forget the we all basically agree that Musa Dimasidsing was a courageous soul, who SACRIFICED himself in the name of democracy and ultimately this land we love so dearly..

  94. Sinabi mo pa, Nick. We are not disagreeing as a matter of fact. I’m just sharing what I know and feel about it.

    In fact, I had a very spiritual experience on this. Let me share it with you and the rest of those willing to hear this story.

    Many years ago, I was asked to get a ticket for a Philippine Embassy staff to deliver the ashes of a Filipina to her family. She was a Japayuki here engaging or was forced to engage in prostitution. She was doing it for her family in need. In the end, when she could no longer bear it, she hanged herself with some panty hose by the window sill.

    The Catholic Church refused to give her the necessary rite to save her soul because of some Catholic belief that it is unforgivable without those priest really knowing one hundred percent, I guess, the Will of God. I actually had the same attitude about suicide even when it is not uncommon in Japan, where it is considered an honorable way to be saved from humiliation and ostracism, etc.

    When I delivered the ticket to the embassy, I was compelled to go down the basement where her ashes and picture were. When I did, I kind of felt some presence that gave me those goose bumps and I went home still feeling the presence with me. That night, it stayed with me until I promised to do something to appease her soul.

    I wrote to the authorities of our church and asked if there was a way to save someone who had taken her own life because she could not bear what she was doing to her body. I was told to do vicarious works for her at our temple only after I have found out more about her and if I could get a permission from her parents or next of kin.

    Then, miracles of miracles, I was led to the people who knew her in life, even provided with copies of the letters she wrote to her sister and most of all to God and Jesus Christ where she poured her heart out.

    In short, I was able to get her parent’s (the father was dead) and I was able to do vicarious works for the dead for her at our temple. And when I did, I knew she was there to witness it, and I felt happy for her. In a way, the to be able to do all those rites for her was proof enough for me that God has forgiven her, because she wanted so much to abide by God’s rule on chastity. Since, it was defiled and she did not want to worsen its state of impurity, she killed herself.

    That for me, Nick, is justice that we as mortals are likely to overlook and see as pure and godly.

  95. Anna, it’s a lingo now—dumbest! Ang haba kasi ng damnest best! 😛

  96. ….In short, I was able to get her parent’s CONSENT (the father was dead) …

  97. Very beautiful Yuko, very touching… You cannot tell, but tears are starting to well up… it’s very touching indeed..

    What good does it do us, if we gain the world, but lose our souls…

    Thank you so much for that story

  98. Don’t mention it, Nick, but that experience surely gave me a better understanding of God’s miracle of forgiveness, and that God’s way is not our way.

    Best thing really is to abide by God’s Will and Commandments, study the Scriptures and most of all, pray a lot!

    Elvira Sahara Says: “Isang suicide ang ginawa ni ni Musa. Ipinain niya ang sarili niya para sa katotohanan!”

    pangit at hindi akma ang salitang SUICIDE sa pagkamatay ni dimasidsing sapagkat ito ay pagtatanggol sa karapatan ng mamamayan upang pumili ng sa kanila ay mamumuno. at dahil ito ay isang pakikipaglaban upang manaig at mangibabaw ang TAMA, pag-aalay ng buhay para sa bayan ang kanyang ginawa. isang uri ng KABAYANIHANG banyaga sa isipan at puso ng mga hayup sa malakanyang!

  100. Elvira Sahara Elvira Sahara

    Sa ating mga Pilipino, we can’t help but have that negative impact of the word “suicide.” Though suicide may not be the right term for Musa’s case, (he knowing that refusing to bow before the wishes of these criminals would eventually lead to his annihilation if he doesn’t take precautions), in a sense, it was an honorable act! As Mrivera said, pag-aalay ng buhay ang kanyang ginawa!
    Yuko, yes I agree with you that in Japan, suicide is indeed a form of heroism! And Musa is really a HERO! My salute to him! May he rest in Peace!

  101. chi chi

    I understand you used “suicide” as only a form of expression. Para bang “hoy, suicide ‘yang gagawin mong pagpapakasal”! 🙂

    Really bad ang nangyayari sa Maguindanao to the extent na patayin pa ang School District Supervisor para lang hindi mailabas lahat ng kabahuan nila sa pandaraya noon May 14 election.

    Sana man lang ay may tape-recording na naiwanan si Musa Dimasidsing tungkol sa mga dapat nyang ibulgar o isiwalat sa lokohan o dayaan na nangyari noong election. Although may mga threats sa kanyang buhay ay hindi naman nya siguro akalain na mangyayari sa kanya ang sinapit nya ngayong kamatayan. May she Rest-In-Peace. To her perpetrators, sana makarma sila……

    Musa is the muse of GO, kaya huwag ninyong pabayaan mga GOs na malimutan na lang basta ang kanyang kabayanihang ginawa para sa katotohanan.

    We owe her big, really big!

    Musa is the guiding light of GO!….”

  106. Babae man o lalaki si Musa Dimasidsing, the fact remains that he/she died for an ideal! Oops, lalaki nga pala si Musa Dimasidsing. Hind nga pala siya katulad ni Su-Viri-Me-Gal!

    May he rest in peace! May his example be copied by many to stop NOW the kabulastugans perpetrated by these criminals running the Philippine government like hell!!! Meron pa bang mas masahol sa hell?

    Ellen,

    Mr. Musa Dimasidsing’s violent death in the hands of cowardly assassin(s) should be denounced in the strongest possible terms.

    Any investigation towards the solution of this dastardly act must begin within the confines of the Comelec, specifically, to that of its Chair, who challenged all and sundry to present evidence of Maguindanao’S farcical conduct of the elections.

    The Comelec must be deemed equally responsible for his death, for coyly feigning ignorance to the province’s cheating despite of various electoral watch group reports of gross anomalies, FORCING this one gentleman-poor guy from Maguindanao, took Abalos challenge seriously and bravely show us all, the ABC’s of local cheating; a genuine class-act, in total disregard to his own safety, which should have been guaranteed for coming out, in the first place.

    Is he not part of those intrepid group of local Board of Election Inspectors (BEI’s), whose identities remain publicly UNdisclosed; presented themselves as witnesses to the province’s under the banana-trees-held behest elections, in a closed-door executive session with the Comelec en banc?!

    How come, it simply escapes me, he was identified and known to the gunmen to be part of those who came forward and submitted to Comelec’s perusal?

    Given its proven propensity to disregard the people’s will during elections, am indicting Abalos, et al, of harboring a criminal inside the electoral body; a paid informant, with very little doubt, for betraying Mr. Dimasidsing identity to the assassins.
