There is now a new crime in the Philippines: distributing DVD copies of movies Gloria Arroyo does not like.
Following is the report of Malaya’s Victor Reyes on the trial by court martial of first Lt. Artemio Raymundo for,believe it or not, sharing with fellow marines DVD copies of former President Joseph Estrada’s biographical movie.
And we are supposed to be a democracy!
THE staff judge advocate of the Marine Corps has recommended the trial by court martial of a junior officer for distributing copies of the former President Estrada’s biopic in videodisc.
Marines spokesman Maj. Ariel Caculitan said the recommendation against 1Lt. Artemio Raymundo of the Marine’s Field Artillery Battalion based in Fort Bonifacio is under review by Marines commandant Maj. Gen. Nelson Allaga. If approved, it will be forwarded to Navy chief Rear Adm. Rogelio Calunsag for approval.Caculitan said the recommendation was for Raymundo to be tried for violation of Articles of War 96 (conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman), 97 (conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline), and 64 or disrespect toward a superior officer.
Last September, information reached Marine officials that Raymundo was circulating among fellow officers Estrada’s biopic “Ang Mabuhay Para sa Masa.”
Raymundo’s immediate superior, Maj. Danilo Luna, told him to stop. But the junior officer ignored Luna and went on circulating the biopic which had been banned by the Movie, Television and Radio Classification Board from public viewing.
On Sept. 25, Luna again summoned Raymundo and informed the latter that he was being restricted to quarters pending a formal investigation.
Raymundo reportedly talked back to Luna.
The initial investigation conducted by Luna’s office recommended the trial of Raymundo for violation of the AW 64 only. Caculitan said the staff judge advocate added the cases of violation of AW 96 and 97. Caculitan said the charges against Raymundo were not for distributing the copies of the video disc.
“It’s about the disrespect,” he said.
OK guys, ako na ang mauna dito, kaya lang out of topic.
Gusto ko lang mag-wish ng MERRY CHRISTMAS AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR sa lahat na fellow-bloggers but especially to our beloved ELLEN AND HER FAMILY.
Ang sabi ni bogus Glueria at kampon, Erap is a gonner. Ganoon pala, eh bakit nagpapakagago silang lahat? Onli in da Pilipins na nahaharap sa court martial ang isang sundalong namigay ng documentary film ni Erap. Halata naman masyado ang takot ng mga hinayupak na ito.
Ano nga ba ang maaasahang malinaw na pag-iisip sa pekeng pamahalaan ni Glueria, e pati artistas at pulitikos na aakyat sa Quirino Grandstand ay huhulihin daw. Mga takot na ENGOTS!
Sorry folks, Pasko pero hindi nangangahulugan na ligtas ng mura sa akin ang pekeng pangulong Glueria.
Oy nga pala, Merry Christmas din sa ‘yo Florry!
if the order was to stop an act which was not illegal, the order itself is an abuse of authority. an act cannot be disrespectful if the man was not barred by law to do it. its the same with an illegal order. a soldier cannot be forced to follow an illegitimate, if not illegal, order. last i heard, freedom of expression, within parameters prescribed by law, is enshrined in the constitution. thus, even a soldier, cannot be barred from watching a movie. so he should not be held liable for his refusal to follow an order stopping him from watching or inviting people to watch that movie. that goes against the tenets of our law. if anyone was breaching any law, if could be that officer who sought to stop the man.
but what can we expect from the leadership anyway. nambababoy naman talaga sila ng batas natin. assuming, of course, na alam nila kung ano ang batas.
And to think that the biopic of Erap can be downloaded from the internet. It’s all over, nationwide, worldwide. One time, I was in a passenger bus going to Bicol, it’s being shown to the delight of the passengers.
Another soldier who will be not having his Christmas at home with his family.
APOLINARIO MABINI(quoted from Sundalo.bravehost.com):
If the people are with us, we can rest assured that if we do not triumph today, we shall do so tomorrow or after tomorrow. If they are not with us, we shall be decimated.

Another word to best describe illegitimate Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is lunatic, totally insane dwarf.
sobra kasi ang caculitan ng loyalist elements sa marines
Kiss democracy goodbye! Or, little too late for it. Democracy has been gone over six years ago when illegitimate Gloria took it upon herself as VP, planned and executed with the mobs in stealing Malacanang from legitimate elected President of the Philippines, President Estrada. President Joseph Estrada wherever you’re now, it ain’t too late, this is now your moment to shine. Take back your rightful place in history. Put a claim in which once belong to you in accordance to the law of the land. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is fake, genuine authentic fraud and a counterfeit.
The only way to stop this dwarf lunatic is the repeat of what she did to President Joseph Estrada. What’s good for the goose is also good for the gander, and why not. Bogus Gloria is not going to stop raping the people of their rights unless ishe was forcely made to quit. It has gone too far, it’s now must end. While bogus Gloria is stealing the coffers, more Pilipinos goes hungry each day. Irony, bogus Gloria doesn’t give a damn. All she cares is how to screw the people and to remain the queen of Malacanang.
As reported, this year alone, 111 has been killed those that opposed bogus Gloria, the bloodiest year yet. Give due credit to fake Gloria as her legacy to include in her stealing Malacanang, twice. What a worthless savage scum!
Merry Christmas to everyone and to your love ones. I wish all the bloggers the best of everything, and may your good intention continue so others may follow. Special holiday greetings to you Ms. Ellen Tordesillas and to your family. I can’t thank you enough for the courage you’ve demonstrated every single day and to put your life at great risk. Your fairnes, generosity and unselfishness has been noted. You’re one of a kind, and I wish you good health and long life. The bloggers and Philippines need you. Once again many thanks in providing this blog and for seeking the truths and divine justice. Making life worth living!
Maligayang Pasko!

Erap biopic or Da Vinci Code?What is the different between the Two.I didn’t see the core of Erap disc,whatever the content why it is a violation of aricle of war 96.Does it exhumed human flesh.We are living in a despotic banana republic of Gloria,then.Why Da Vinci Code was not banned.It’s degrading to Christian Relegion.The Pope watch it.Why the Filipino people can view it, the erap boipic.It’ Gloria who doesn’t want it and the puppet General lick her palm.
“
pasensiya na po, liliko lang ako ng konti sa usapan.
gusto ko lang magpasalamat kay ms. ellen sa pag welcome niya sa akin dito. at sori ha, hindi ko pa nakompleto yung profile ko para sana makilala mo ako kahit konti. nangangapa pa rin kasi ako sa sitwasyon ko. pero sabi nga ni aiza, pagdating ng panahon, magkakakilanlan din tayo.
ang lamig ngayon dito sa lugar ko, ikaw ms. ellen at ang iba pang ka-tropa dito ang pinagkukunan ko ng init upang huwag mawalan ng pag-asa. na bagama’t malamig ang pasko, sana naman ay magiging maiinit ang bagong taon natin at malaya na ang bayan mula sa kuko ng dwendeng itim na nakatira sa malakanyang.
kailan ba mauubos itong mga kalokohan diyan sa pinas.
here in the far north this day signals the day for longer days,i.e., longer and longer days while the nights become shorter and shorter, which again means to many brighter and brighter days are here to come.hopefully there are better days for the pinoys too specially for those in pinas.with this thought i like to greet each and everyone in this blog a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. May we all have a good rest this christmas to be able to face the year ahead. Special thanks and greetings to Ellen who have been quite patient in her chosen endeavour.
Filipinos have lost a lot of their freedom under the tiyanak. No one can say anything against her because her goons will either jail you or kill you!
I am not so fond of Erap either because nagmadali siyang nangurakot like there was no tomorrow. But if we only had a crystal ball, we would have seen that his successor is a million times worst than Erap was! At least under Erap, the poor had some blessings once in a while but under this tiyanak, the poor are invisible in her kingdom! Kaya nga 2nd world na nga daw and Pilipinas( only in her enchanted kingdom!)!
So what if this soldier wanted to share with everyone what he thought was a movie worth viewing? It is sheer oppression to put him in jail. One of these days, tiyanak will be soldierless or if she would still have any one left, the good ones are put away. She will be left with the soldiers who obviously can not discern the good from the bad. In other words, mga “tuta” na lang.
I am hoping that more soldiers should defy this tiyanak para matapos na siya and SOON, I hope.
Ellen,
There is a proverb in Pilipino that goes like this, “Natakot sa sariling multo”! So what if the soldier has distributed the Erap biopic? Bakit natakot si Great Switik? Kasi guilty siya? You bet, she is.
It is actually when I hear reports such as this kind of suppression of freedoms supposedly guaranteed in a democratic system that I thank God for helping me claim my right to be a Japanese instead of being a Filipino, not that I don’t have any affection for the land of my birth. At least, in Japan, we can still enjoy our basic rights, even the right to choose a good leader.
Over in the Philippines, Filipinos do not even have a choice between good and evil, but only between two evils and they are deceived to think that one is lesser evil than the other.
Kawawang bansa! My condolence to all Filipinos for allowing a vain switik to lead them! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! HANGGANG KAILAN BA MAGTITIIS ANG MGA PINOY! KAWAWA NAMAN!
wala akong makitang anuman sa mga ibinibintang nila kay lt raymundo maliban sa tuwirang pagwawalang bahala niya sa utos ni maj luna na hindi maituturing na pagsuway dahil hindi ito napapaloob sa sakop ng military rules.
sobrang pinasabog ang isyung ito dahil ang ugat at sanhi ay ang biopic ni erap na itinuturing na seditious ng mga sipsip na marines (pa naman) at tuta ng baliw na babae sa malakanyang. mga uto utong nahawa sa mga gagonggonzalez na sobrang siksik sa singit ni gloria mukhang batong ostrich!
wala na! sira na ang ipinagmamalaking karangalan ng marines! matapang daw sa combat, pero sa harap ng nagpapanggap na presidenteng sinungaling at magnanakaw, nagiging mga supot at ang mga buntot ay nababahag!!
hindi ko sila nilalahat, pero sana naman, kumilos na ang mga tunay na nagmamalasakit sa mga nakikibaka upang mapalaya ang ating bayan mula sa kuko ng halimaw na namamayani sa ating bansa!
pakisingit natin ito, mula sa tribune’s business section:
GSIS says pensioners without eCard risk payment suspension
12/21/2006
The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) said all old-age pensioners should enroll the eCard now or risk suspension of their pension payments starting Jan. 1, 2007.
The GSIS announced that starting the very first day of the new year, it will no longer issue checks for the pension payments of old-age pensioners. Instead, the pension will be electronically credited to the Union Bank ATM account of the eCard.
Their monthly pensions will be credited in the eCard account every first day of the month thereafter.
“We’re now calling on all our old-age pensioners to enroll immediately in the GSIS home office or any GSIS servicing office closest to them,” said GSIS president and general manager Winston Garcia. “This will be crucial since starting next year, we will no longer issue checks for pension. It will be released only through the eCard.”
The pension payments can be withdrawn in any of the 6,000 Bancnet, Megalink or Expressnet ATMs nationwide.
The GSIS also emphasized that pensioners can avail of their hospitalization benefits only through the eCard.
Pensioners who need to avail of the benefits under the GSIS Hospitalization Support Program (GHSP) will have to show their eCard to the staff of the partner hospitals of the GSIS under this program as the card serves as a hospitalization discount card.
GHSP partner hospitals include the University of Sto. Tomas Hospital in Manila, capitol Medical Center in Quezon City, Lorma Medical Center in San Fernando, La Union, Perpetual Help Succour Hospital in Cebu and the Angeles University Foundation Medical Center in Pampanga.
Launched in 2004, the GHSP entitles beneficiaries up to 50 percent in discounts from the GSIS partner hospitals. It works like an exchage deal between the GSIS and partner hospitals, wherein the GSIS acquires and lends medical equipment to selected private medical institutions.
In return, the hospitals provide discounts to GSIS members. The equipment remains property of the GSIS while the hospitals are tasked to maintain them.
Under the GHSP, active GSIS members and old-age pensioners get a 30-percent discount on room rates, medicines and supplies and a 10-percent discount on doctors fees, on top of their PhilHealth benefits. They also get up to 40-percent discount on other medical procedures.
More important, GSIS members and pensioners get a 50-percent discount when using the state of the art medical equipment provided by the GSIS.

‘Tado talaga! E ano ngayon kung nawala ang ecard kuno. E di mag-issue sila ng bago! Over in Japan, made of plastic na ang card namin ng aming mga social security, pension plan, etc. Mawala man, nakarehistro at naka-input sa computer. Kaya kung mawala ang card ng isang wannabe pensioner, madaling ma-trace. Kaya ano ang mga kalokohang sinasabi sa balitang ito, Mrivera! Golly, pati mga ahensiya ng gobyerno, magnanakaw? Ano iyan?
Never heard of even during the time of Marcos. Ngayon lang dahil itong si Great Switik, puro nakaw lang ang alam. Kaya lahat kawatan ang labas!!! Kung ako sa mga nagtratrabaho sa Pilipinas, hindi na ako magbabayad. Iyong mga OFW din, dapat nadala na silang nagbabayad ng OWWA fund. Isa pang kurakot at magnanakaw ang ahensiyang iyan!
No wonder, lahat halos ng mga pilipino gusto nang umalis ng Pilipinas. Suwerte sila kung makapunta sila sa mga bansang nagbabayad ng social security and pension tulad ng USA, Japan (pero limited sa mga hapon at nagtrabaho at nagbayad ng social security at pension plan sa Japan ng 20 or more years. Otherwise wala ring makukuha.
Kawawang mga pilipino! Lalong naging kawawa at api sa ilalim ng isang Great Switik na magnanakaw na sinungaling pa! Ang taba-taba na at pangit pa ang itsura! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
A long time reader and follower of Ellen’s blog once said, “I read about the Philippine Armed Forces being a CANNIBAL since they are eating their own people.”
The piece was a year ago, I think. The word cannibal sticks to one’s mind. Cannibals seemed extinct in this modern times.
Now, what is happening to the patriotic members of our military seem to prove that some members of the AFP. those of teh highest ranks, are indeed the most ferocious of cannibals as tehy have started eating not only the people but their own flesh.
That’s the time in teh Bible that they become the possessed evils that Jesus turned into pigs.

Corruptions is not unique to Philippines or any other country. Today, headlines in Canada’s largest daily the Toronto star announced the arrest of 6 individuals on top of those already arrested and jailed and more arrests are expcted. The difference though, it might take a few year (three years investigation on this one) but the Police, the Anti-Fraud squads usually get their bad guys:

The former campaign chair for two Toronto mayors and a provincial health minister faces fraud and bribery charges in connection with the misappropriation of federal government grants.
John Danson, 60, a long-time Liberal party activist and campaign manager for mayors Mel Lastman and June Rowlands, is one of six people arrested in the past week in an ongoing police investigation of grants obtained from the former Human Resources Development Canada.
Danson was also Tony Clement’s campaign manager and fundraiser in his failed bid for the leadership of the provincial Progressive Conservatives. Clement, who is now federal health minister, was Ontario’s health minister at the time.
Danson, a self-described training expert and communications consultant, is the son of Barney Danson, a former defence minister in Pierre Trudeau’s cabinet. The younger Danson managed June Rowlands’ campaign in 1994 and did the same for Mel Lastman three years later.
The arrests announced by the Peel Region police fraud squad yesterday bring to 27 the number of people charged in the three-year investigation. Several of those charged have been convicted or pleaded guilty.
Police allege that HRDC was defrauded of more than $3 million between 1999 and 2004 using false invoices, overbilling and bribes to obtain approval for projects.
The Peel police investigation has centered mainly on an HRDC centre in Mississauga.
Money that was earmarked for training programs and skills development was allegedly diverted through a variety of schemes and payoffs, police say.
The charges against Danson relate to his time as director of the Quality and Continuous Improvement Centre, a not-for-profit training arm of the Peel District School Board.
The investigation was started in the wake of the so-called “Billion-Dollar Boondoggle,” after the auditor general’s report in 2000 found the federal department had handed out almost $1 billion in grants with little or no accountability.
The ensuing outcry eventually cost then human resources minister Jane Stewart her job. The federal department also got a new name and is now known as Human Resources and Social Development Canada.
The HRDC was a mammoth $60-billion-a-year operation that was responsible for about half of all federal spending. It managed a wide range of social-assistance programs, such as employment insurance claims, and applications for Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security benefits.
“We really can’t get into details because the investigation is ongoing and we anticipate there will be more arrests in the near future,” Det. Bob Lundy said yesterday.
“We’ve been at it for three years and we’re still full steam ahead.”
The courts have already dealt with many of those arrested earlier in the probe.
In August, Joan Rowe, a former project manager of an HRDC office in Mississauga, was sentenced to 28 months in prison after pleading guilty to defrauding the federal government and accepting secret commissions.

Vic Agustin pours water on self
Business columnist Vic Agustin of the Philippine Daily Inquirer doused water on himself more than a week after he made activist Renato Constantino Jr. take a “morning bath” during a press conference at a Makati five-star hotel.
Agustin’s stunt took place Thursday at the set of “Media In Focus,” a talkshow hosted by television journalist Cheche Lazaro at ANC. Agustin and Constantino were guests.
The program’s theme for the episode was “Hotheads of the Press,” which was in relation to the Agustin’s dousing of cold water on Constantino during the December 9 press conference of the administration congressmen.
Agustin asked Constantino to do the same when they faced each other during the program. Constantino refused.
The activist’s refusal to take action prompted Agustin to pour a bottle of mineral water on himself.
During the gathering of lawmakers led by Speaker Jose de Venecia at the Dusit Nikko Hotel, Constantino, who was in the audience, stood up and spoke against the administration backed-proposal for Charter change.
Cooler heads tried to intervene while hotel security officers led Constantino, a son of historian Renato Constantino Jr., out of the venue.
While Constantino was being led outside the area, Agustin, who was also in the room, doused the activist with a glass of water. A
The Inquirer board suspended Agustin and his column, “Cocktales” following the incident.

I am happy to note that there are in this blog who would like to make VAL QUERUBIN a little happier this Christmas. It may include the family of First Lt. Raymundo.
But we should deal with them directly as suggested by Ate Ellen. I’m sorry for asking her earlier if she knows any group or movement where we could send our contributions. I should not have asked Ate Ellen about it in the first place. .
In my case, I have done may part already. My nephew-soldier volunteered to make contact with the right person. But he will only deal with my gifts, not for others. I understand him. He told me, some of them are moving discreetly so as not to antagonized their superiors. Baka raw matulad sila kay first Lt. Artemio Raymundo who is now facing court martial for distributing Erap biopic. They can always come up with all kinds of violation. This time, they may declare it a crime to distribute christmas gifts to the children.
Sumasakit na ang ulo ko sa mga kaaliwaswasan ng pamunuan ng AFP at nga kanilang CIC.
I hope that ISAFP chief Brig. Gen. Delfin Bangit P500 bills Xmas gift give away came from his salary. Perhaps he wants to outdone Willie Revillame’s Wowowee show.
EXCERPTS Philippine Daily Inquirer 12/22/2006
AMID shouts of “Long Live the Emperor,” Armed Forces intelligence chief Brig. Gen. Delfin Bangit threw P500 bills, like they were candy, at the Isafp (Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines) Christmas party held on Wednesday night.
Easily the grandest party in Camp Aguinaldo this season, the Christmas bash of the Intelligence Service of the AFP turned the highly secured compound into a rock concert-cum-Oktoberfest-cum-noontime TV show, complete with stand-up comics from popular bars on Timog and Quezon Avenue.
One insider told the Inquirer that “it was the most lavish” Christmas party ever celebrated at the Isafp headquarters.
Omigad, Bangit threw P500 bills like they were candy, while 16M pinoys are hungry this Christmas! Dios na Maawain, Saklolo!
Susunod na ipahuhuli – may bigote na may wrist band.
In the spirit of Christmas, ngumiti naman tayo kahit sandali. Enjoy!

loko talaga ang major luna na ito tanga pa..Dapat video piracy ang kaso ni Raymundo dahil ilegal na kopya ang mga ito.ha ha ha itanong kay edu..
Apoy, Erap’s biopic was not illegally produced. It was banned for public viewing by the MTRCB. But Raymundo and friends were going to watch it privately.
Luna said Raymundo’s offense e was not for viewing Erap’s film but insubordination. This is another case of duplicitous talk or doublespeak.
Raymundo was confined to the brig because he was seen distributing Erap’s DVD. That was an illegal order because nothing in military rules says about prohibiting sharing DVDs. When Raymundo protested the illegal order, that’swhen he was slapped with insubordination.
maam ellen, gusto ko lang magpatawa kasi asar na ako sa mga ‘toy soldiers’na mga yan. di bale, maraming uusbong na guerilla sa tabi-tabi.
Dapat nga talaga, pagtawanan na lang natin, Apoy. Kung hindi baka mauna pa tayo sa kanila. We should not give them that satisfaction.
Joeseg, re: “I am happy to note that there are in this blog who would like to make VAL QUERUBIN a little happier this Christmas. It may include the family of First Lt. Raymundo.”
I’d like to tell you that Marieflor Querubin, Col. Ariel Querubin’s wife, has read your messages and she is thankful for your support.
Here’s her text message:
Yes, Vic, graft and corruption may not be an original sin of Filipinos, but the difference is in countries like Japan, for example, when discovered the perpetrator gets arrested that even leads to self destruction. In the Philippines, as we have observed, pakapalan ng mukha!
Gosh, we hear even of distribution of teeth to make up for the bad image, but check the bills—all paid for with taxpayers’ money while some private person who is now a pablik pigyur takes credit for it! Ang galing—sobra ang kapal!!!
Kawawang bansa! Tuloy ang laban! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA with or without the endorsement of the CBCP!
Ellen:
I’ve been producing copies of the Erap biopic after obtaining a permit to do so, and have sold a hundred. The producers have given me permission to do so, and so I am not breaking any of our laws regarding copyrights, etc., neither am I breaking any Philippine law.
For me, the word of a bogus president is not something I am apt to obey and follow. I can challenge such in the court in Japan especially as a matter of fact. Besides, being in Japan, I am not under the jurisdiction of any ruling especially by a bogus president.
I have set aside some of the profit for charity and for our Anti-Bogus President (Patalsikin Na) Movement in Japan. I have distributed copies of the biopic also to the Japanese media that hopefully they will show someday when the Filipinos are able to gather enough courage to defy the military and the police there who are still playing stupid by protecting a bogus president, which is definitely amazingly unbelievabe as far as I am concerned, for over here in Japan, no one can be above the law, especially not one who has not been duly elected by the majority of the people, and one who does not butt an eye in stealing and telling lies!
Nakakaawa naman ang mga sundalong sinasapawan ng mga sipsip sa AFP na walang integrity dahil sa mga mandarayang katulad ni Assperon. Ang sipsip ng mamang ungas na ito. He should be demoted and dishonorably discharged as a matter of fact for pledging allegiance to a bogus president. Palibhasa kasabwat sa nakawan ng mga boto! Ang kapal!
Kawawang bansa! I really feel sorry for the Philippines and the Filipinos! Ibinubugaw sa ibang bansa ang mga pilipino, hindi humihirit! Pambihira talaga! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
New Job Opportunities for Pinas!

Dahil sa walang mahanap na disenteng pagkakakitaan, may mga nasasadlak sa pagbebenta ng laman, may ibang sumusuong sa pagtutulak ng shabu at ‘yung iba ay pinapasok ang pagiging holdaper at mandurukot.
Pero may bagong job opportunities ngayon para sa mga jobless na ayaw mamatay sa gutom — ang pumatay para mabuhay o maging gun for hire.

Inamin ng Philippine National Police (PNP) na mataas ngayon ang demand sa mga hired gun dahil sa dami ng mga VIP’s kasama na ang mga pulitiko na puntirya ng assassination plot.
Sa report ng PNP, pitong (7) senador at animnapung (60) kongresista ang binigyan ng police bodyguards dahil sa banta sa kanilang buhay.
Sabi ni PNP Spokesman Chief Supt. Samuel Pagdilao, P20,000 lang pala ang karaniwang upa sa isang professional killer samantalang ayon sa aking mga sources, P5,000 lamang ay OK na sa mga tirador.
Ganyan kamura ang buhay ng tao, mas mahal pa ang isang litsong baboy!

Kung tutuusin, maliit na halaga lamang ang beinte mil pesos lalo na ang singko mil pesos. Pero sa taong nagigipit, kahit magkano lang ay puwede na!
May mga taong handang pumatay para huwag lamang mamatay sa gutom ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay! Kaya hindi ako magtataka kung magka-oversupply pa ng mga hired killers dahil ito ang usong trabaho!
Masama ang pumatay pero sabi nga ni Erap, a man with an empty stomach knows no law!
Hoy, mga gun for hire kung hindi rin lamang kayo mapipigil, puwede bang mag-request? Baka puwedeng mga kawatan sa gobyerno na lang ang itumba ninyo!
Baka sakaling matuwa pa ang tao pag mga opisyal na pondo’y nilulustay ang makikitang nakahandusay!

Ang pagkuha ng mga pulitiko ng bodyguard mula sa pulisya at militar ay malinaw na indikasyon na sila’y takot sa banta sa buhay. In short, takot silang mamatay!
Kung ang may bodyguard ay bahag ang buntot, ano kaya ang nararamdaman natin na mga karaniwang tao na walang nagbabantay kahit aso?
Kung sila’y puwedeng madale ng mga pusakal na kriminal, lalo na siguro tayong mga walang laban na tanging pulis lamang ang inaasahan. Ang tanong ni Irene Alcala, may pulis ba? Hindi halata.
Tama nga si dating Vice President Emmanuel Pelaez nang minsang siya’y tinangkang ipapatay, “Mr. General, what is happening to our country?”
Ayon sa kuwento ni Mang Totchi, ang General na tinukoy ni Pelaez ay si General Tomas Karingal na napatay rin ng isang hired killer.
Kelan kaya totohanang aaksyon ang pulis? Kapag isang heneral nila ang tinira? Huwag naman sana.

Ibang klase talaga sa gobyernong ito. Pati sa patayan, may double standard sila.
Kapag ang media o militante ang pinapatay, parang si Kuya Cesar ang iyong hinihintay sa bagal ng aksyon.
Pero kapag kongresista, banta pa lang ang pulis kung umaksyon super bilis! Hindi lang isa kundi sangkaterba ang inaalok na bodyguard para bantayan ang mga pulitiko. Para tuloy gusto ko nang mag-Kongresman. Joke lang.
