Ito kaya ang tunay na dahilan bakit nagdeklara ng martial law si Gloria Arroyo sa Maguindanao:
Sabi ni North Cotabato Vice-governor Manny Piñol nabalitaan niyang tinatakot ng mga Ampatuan si Gloria Arroyo na kakanta tungkol sa dayaan noong 2004 eleksyun kung ilalaglag siya.
“Ang sabi ng ibang mga miyembro ng Ampatuan clan, kung bibitawan sila ni Pangulong Arroyo, sasabihin din nila ang lahat.”sabi ni Piñol..
Narinig rin namin yun. May umuugong na balita na bina-blackmail ng mga Ampatuan si Arroyo. Hawak pa rin daw nila ang orihinal na dokumento noong 2004 eleksyun. Siguro mga election returns o certificate of canvass.
Maala-ala natin na pinagpalitan ng mga miyembro ng military ang mga numero sa COC na siya namang ginamit sa canvassing na ginawa ng Kongreso. Maala-ala pa rin natin siguro ang “Noted. Noted” nina Sen. Francis Pangilinan at dating Rep. Raul Gonzales, na ngayon at presidential legal counsel, nagg gustong pabuksan ng oposisyon ang mga ballot boxes dahil sabi nila pinalitan ang mga numero sa COC.
Marami ang nakapuna na mabagal kumilos ang Malacañang sa pag-aresto kina Ampatuan. Alalay na alalay sila. Kaya lang ang pag-kondena ay hindi lamang dito sa bansa kungdi buong mundo.
Sabi ng iba mukhang nakuha na ng Malacañang ang mga “election paraphernalia” na hawak ng mga Amaptuan. Kaya pwede nang ilaglag.
May mga nagsasabi naman na hindi pa yata nakuha, kaya kailangan nila magdeklara ng martial law para makuha yun.
Ang galing talaga nitong si Arroyo. Master siya sa “turning adversity into opportunity”. Yung paggamit ng krisis bilang oportunidad.
Ang problema lang kay Arroyo, ang oportunidad ay hindi para sa bayan o sa nakakarami. Palaging oportunidad para maisulong niya ang kanyang personal na interes at manatili siya sa kapangyarihan upang marotektahan siya sa maraming kasalanan na ginawa niya sa taumbayan.
Nagdeklara siya ng martial law sa Maguindanao ng Biyernes ng gabi sa Maguindanao kung saan nagkaroon ng masaker ng 58 na tao noong Nobiembre 23 dahil sa pulitika sa pagitan ng pamilyang Ampatuan at Mangudadatu.
Dalawa lang ang maaring basehan ng deklarasyon ng martial law ayon sa ating Constitution: “rebellion” at “invasion.” Ang “rebellion” ay pag-aklas laban sa pamahalaan at ang “invasion” ay pagsalakay ng bansa ng mga dayuhan.
Ang kaso nina Ampatuan na siyang mga suspek sa masaker ay “murder”. Sabi Rep.Didagen Dilanggalen, hindi rebellion ang kasalanan ng mga Ampatuan dahil, tauhan sila ng pamahalaan. “Kaalyado sila ng presidente,” sabi pa niya,
Talagang matalik at maasahang kaibigan ni Gloria Arroyo ang mga Ampatuan. Maala-ala natin na noong 2004 na eleksyun , bokya si Fernando Poe, Jr. sa Maguindanao samantalang ang mga boto ni Gloria Arroyo ay sumubra pa sa numero ng registered voters.
Ito pa ang nakakabahala: kung makalusot si Arroyo sa pagdeklara sa Maguindanao ng martial law na walang basehan, para matakpan ang pandaraya noong 2004 na eleksyun, ano ang makapag-pigil sa kanya sa pagdeklara ng martial law sa buong bansa para maprotektahan ang sarili sa iba pa niyang kasalanan?
Mabuti na lang, responsable ang mga miyembro ng Congress. The Filipino people through their representatives in Congress can declare a stop to Maguindanao martial law. The constitution even says 24-hours for Congress to convene.
from 1987 Constitution Section 18 :
Responsable kamo, are you kidding?
The 24-hour limit has expired, Congress has not met.
To the house lawyers of Ellenville:
This is the scenario – 1. Gloria declares Martial Law without sufficient grounds; 2. Congress fails to convene within the prescribed period; 3. Military and Police are ordered to arrest all suspects and hold them without privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus
What happens next?
Will the illegal holding of the Ampatuans under indefinite arrest enable them to secure legal remedy that will make them immune from the same suits now facing them?
Tongue:
Grave abuse ang pag-aresto without a warrant, considering the issued writ of amparo.
When the Court steps in, the executive steps out (Lansang v. Garcia).
The illegality of the arrest, however, will not invalidate the criminal charge. The Ampatuans cannot gain immunity from suit. The arrest being illegal, however, any evidence obtained as a fruit of the arrest is inadmissible, under the doctrine of fruit of the poisonous tree.
Kakanta daw si Ampatuan?
Baka iligpit yan. There will be the usual story of how the suspect tried to wrest the officer’s handgun, so the other officer had to open fire.
Or how about, they all tried to escape, so in hot pursuit, they were gunned down?
No, ironically, the Ampatuans will need the media, some of whose members they liquidated.
Ang dami ng sinabi’t puna kay the goyang mula pa noong 2001. Sobrang batikos na ang ipinaulan at itong huli ay ang pagdedeklara niya ng martial law sa Maguindanao subalit kahit anong panawagan upang siya ay mag-resign, wala rin, dedma ang lolang buruka.
Dalawa lang naman ang hakbang na dapat gawin upang masigurong mawawala kaagad sa Malakanyang ang kanyang kamahalang mangkukulam: i-asasineyt o kaladkarin palabas ng palasyo.
Sana, merong maybayag na taga PSG upang isagawa ang alinman dito.
I agree with Martial Law not only to seek Justice but for the purpose that it opens a big debate and legal arguments against the current administration.
If Martial Law is used to secure the documents during the election, it’s a good time for many to question the justification of the Martial Law declaration. That’s what democracy is all about.
The Ampatuan massacre has been condemned world-wide as the worst loss of life of media professionals in one day in the history of journalism. The Philippines is now the most dangerous place for journalist. The Massacre is the worst incident of political violence in the nation’s history. ( no political actor have been implicated of killing this many,there were allegations but this one is different- It is mass murder in cold blood against the innocent people.
Killing people without a threat can be interpreted as rebellious especially if one’ss duty is to protect and promote peace. The Ampatuans has not only committed murder but against the rules of the government. The government is not Gloria… the government is US. Therefore if one disobey his/her duty, one becomes a rebel. yes or no?
The hiding of the ammunitions that can supply a batallion can be interpreted that a plan may be is on the making but not yet concrete. If he goes down, you all go down ( rebellious state of mind )
To prevent uncertain risk, one must ACT…
To prevent uncertain risk that may risk the goyang’s interests, the goyang had acted.
Killing the Ampatuans will not prevent 1 or 3 documents to get out of hand. It’s probably hidden or given to the MILF, or secured by someone? or buried or faxed way before the martial law.. who knows? The Ampatuans have lawyers too and have many loyal supporters. Killing them will not prevent the 2004 election documents from leaking.
So you guys think that’s the reason of Martial Law? then God bless the filipinos….
Malay natin baka part iyan ng scenario ni aling gloria para umabot dito sa ncr ang gulo para maideklara ang martial law sa buong bansa.
Sa mga nabasa ko at narinig after November 23, 2009, si ARMM Governor Zaldy Ampatuan na lang ang may natitira pang sensibilidad sa mga Ampatuans. Siya ang maaring kinakausap ng Malacanang. Sa pag declare ng Martial Law, dalawa ang posibleng dahilan:
1. Lumalaban ng legal ang mga Ampatuans at sa mga kasong nasa korte, under oath, nila ihahayag na ang pangigipit sa kanila ay may kinalalaman sa 2004 at 2007 elections. Iba nga naman kung press release lang o sa interview nila sasabihin ang tungkol sa election. Kaya nag deklara ng Martial law para pigilan ang mga legal moves at para makuha pa sa Ampatuans ang delikadong dokumento tungkol sa election.
2. This is a deal between Malacanang vs. Ampatuans. Kung may martial law, the Commander in Chief ang may control ng lahat sa Maguindanao at kayang itago ang mga dapat itago na mag didiin pa sa mga Ampatuans. Limitado na rin ang press coverage at information na lalabas tungkol sa Maguindanao at mapipili na ang information na hindi pwedeng ilabas dahil ito ay classified information.
Either way, kademonyohan pa rin ito ni GMA.
one must look at this event in an open mind. Remove Gloria in your thoughts and assume her of her crime. assume that she is guilty of neglecting her people. analyze that the decision she made was a collective decision maybe from he national security committee. what if some higher authority that we borrowed money from advice her to do it ? has it occured to anyone that her decision reflects the country as a whole? where are your governors and your congressman? they probably are also hiding their guns.. who knows. Let them speak and let them represent you.
Rally in your own province and against your own representative. Tell them what you want and let them represent you… If you want to stop Martial law because in your own understanding is not a good decision then speak to your representative. It’s time to assess the skills of your own mayors and your own governors and congressman. Have they delivered what you want at local level? If the crime happens in your city, then the mayor of that city is liable. He has a duty too. When one is kidnapped in your city, then your mayor and your local officers are as liable as the one on top.
Demand accountability now from bottom to top and top to bottom. What we have been doing in the past is demanding accountability directly from the top ignoring the little corruptions that has been going on at bagangay level, mayor’s offices, local police forces and provincial offices.
Most of us are used to… may kilala ako sa loob. puedeng bayaran yan. kawawa talaga si Mang Juan and Pedro…
You need a live witness to authenticate/identify the documents in court. Without authentication (somebody saying, yes that is what we faked), the documents are a mere scrap of paper – no different from your everyday kleenex.
if that’s true then GMA can commit more crimes. As I said, let the Martial law begins and let her power corrupts her own. will see how far she will go…. I always believe that every decision she makes always has an end at her own expense and liability not from you and me.
let it be…..
sanx
nah.. the signatures of the voters or the voters can be used as the witnesses. authentication witness is a weak defense. the voters themselves are the best witnesses.
asiandelight
Certificates of canvass have no voters’ signatures. They are the totals tallied by the board of canvassers.
This is not a mere defense. This is a rule of evidence. A document needs to be identified by a human witness in court.
asiandelight,
will se how far she will go na naman?
Iha, magsasampung taon na, ah? Aba’y kapag lumpampas p[a siya sa 2010 ay sobrang katangahan ng mga Pinoy na naniniwala pa sa kanya. Para na rin nating binibigti ang ating mga sarili kung sa kabila ng lahat niyang mga pagmamalabis na itinatago sa likod ng kasinungalingan ay hahayaan pa natin siyang mamalagi sa kapangyarihan.
Isang magandang katangian ang pagiging matiisin o mapagbigay subalit sa isang banda ay isa rin itong malaking katangahan kung tatanggapin na lang natin at sukat nang pikit mata ang alam nating mapait na kapalaran.
Walang lusot si Glorian Arroyo kapag kumanta ang Ampatuans pero ang martial law ay meron magagawa: iligpit silang lahat at sunugin ang mga original documents ng Hello Garci.
Hangga ngayon ay ginagawang tanga ni Gloria ang pinoy. Bago pa man sya magdeklara ng martial law kuno sa Manguindanao ay matunog na ang opinyon ng pinoy na ito ang kanyang susunod na gawin. Patterned na ang aksyon ni pandakekak, nauunahan sya ng pinoy sa isip wala nga lang magawa dahil hawak pa nya ang militar.
lumilipad ang konsensus; na ang pagbubusal sa bibig ng kanyang kaibigang mga Ampatuan, at paghahanap ng mga ibinaong ebidensya na sasangkot kay Gloria sa dayaan nuong 2004, ang pangunahing dahilan ng pagsuspinde ng Writ of Habeas Corpus.
kabaligtaran sa inaasam ng marami,na magbibigay daan sana ang suspensyon sa paghahanap ng ebidensya para magdiin sa mga suspek, patungo sa pagbibigay ng hustisya sa mga biktima ng masaker.
at taliwas sa mungkahi ng ilang dalubhasa; na itakbo at itanong sa Korte Suprema ang isyu ng legalidad, at basehan at lehitismo, mas nanaisin ko munang mag bakbakan ang dalawa.
merong kasabihan: ‘huwag gambalain at istorbohin ang kaaway kung sila mismo ang nag-aaway-away at nagsisiraan.’.
iisa lang naman lagi ang suma tutal kapag 2 kampon ng nagtutuloang-laway ng mga hayop ang magsasagupaan—dagdag sa listahan na ibabaon sa lupa.
mas makabuti yatang magmasid at manood na muna.
I will not be surprised if, in the next several days, more and more areas not just in Mindanao but in the entire Philippines as well will be placed, first, under a state of emergency, and, later, under martial law or some other emergency rule, invoking the same gruesome murder.Indeed, the Maguindanao massacre could even escalate as an international problem involving other Muslim nations and their supporters, unless the Arroyo government manage to solve this problem real soon, which, unfortunately, it is not perceived to achieve.
zen, kung magmamasid at manonod muna ay maiiwan tayo lalo sa pansitan ni Gloria, mabilis kumilos ang bruha dahil kanya pa ang militar.
OK lang kung ang maguubusan ay ang dalawang lahi na nag-aaway sa atensyon ni Gloria pero nasimulan na ng impakta ang drama via her Ampatuans…at malamang ay hindi umubra sa kanya si Obama sa attainment ng kanyang drama na greed for eternal power.
Which side will Gen. Ibrado take kaya when Gloria’s martial law begins to creep outside of Maguindanao? Siya kaya ang nagpapatakbo ng AFP, o si Asspweron pa?!
Martial law sa Maguindanao para mapagtakpan lang ang dayaan sa 2004 election? I lived in Lanao del Sur half of my life papano mabobokya si Fernando kilalang kilala yan ng ating kapatid na mga Muslim kaya kung nanonood sila ng pelikula niya sumisigaw pa ng takbo takbo Fernando kaya its unbelievable talaga parang kasama sila that’s how they adored him. Grabe ang kapal ni GMA gahaman talaga sa kapangyarihan. Let’s wait and see na lang dahil buong mundo ang kalaban nya ngayon.
( The full text of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s Proclamation No. 1959 placing the province of Maguindanao under Martial Law.)
Proclamation 1959: Proclaiming a State of Martial Law and suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in the province of Maguindanao except for certain areas.
Whereas, Proclamation No. 1946 was issued on 24 November 2009 declaring a state of emergency in the provinces of Maguindanao, Sultan Kudarat and the City of Cotabato for the purpose of preventing and suppressing lawless violence in the aforesaid areas.
Whereas, Sec. 18 Art. VII of the Constitution provides that “in case of invasion or rebellion, when public safety requires it, the President may, for a period not exceeding 60 days, suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus or place the Philippines or any part thereof under martial law.”
Whereas, Republic Act 6986 provides that “the crime of rebellion or insurrection is committed by rising publicly and taking arms against the government for the purpose of depriving the Chief Executive or the Legislature, wholly or partially, of any of their powers or prerogatives.”
Whereas, heavily armed groups in the province of Maguindanao have established positions to resist government troops thereby depriving the Executive of its powers and prerogatives to enforce the laws of the land to maintain public order and safety.
Whereas, the condition of peace and order in the province of Maguindanao has deteriorated to the extent that local judicial system and other government mechanisms in the province are not functioning; thus, endangering public safety.
Whereas, the implementing operational guidelines of the GRP-MILF agreement on the General Cessation of Hostilities dated 14 Nov. 1997 provides that the following is considered a prohibited hostile act: “establishment of checkpoints except those necessary for the GRP’s enforcement and maintenance of peace and order and for the defense and security of the MILF in their identified areas as jointly determined by GRP and MILF.”
Now, therefore I, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, President of the Republic of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution and by law, do hereby proclaim as follows:
Sec. 1: There is hereby declared a state of martial law in the province of Maguindanao except for the identified areas of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front as referred to in the implementing operational guidelines of the GRP-MILF agreement on the General Cessation of Hostilities.
Sec. 2: The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall likewise be suspended in the aforesaid area for the duration of the state of martial law.
Done in the City of Manila this 4th day of December in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Nine.
(Originally Signed)
Gloria M. Arroyo

I foresee a No-Election (NO-EL) next year. This is a planned tactics by the Evil bitch glorya and his cohorts. a failure of elction will tantamount of her continuing leadership and by that the congress will pass a law to change to parliamentary system. and that’s godbye presidentiables. Where’s now the religious community. if Cardinal Sin will be alive today, he will now rally for this. Mga kababayan magising na po tayo. marami pang plano si evil bitch glorya. sabi nga sa Die Hard movie. “this is just the beginning… expect the worse to come”. wake-up my friends. kailangan na natin maki-damay sa mga pangyayari.
saxn,
it remains a weak defense because the original document can also be tampered especially when a big brown bags have been provided. To get to the bottom.. only Mang Juan and Pedro can tell… As I said, GMA can always deny and she has always been.
Knowing the Ampatuans superiority, Mang Juan and Pedro could have been bought too… therefore, the guilty is not only the ampatuans or Gloria but also the Mang Juan and Pedro for selling their votes…
yup sampung taon na ang mga solid cases against GMA… what are we going to do about it? you know she has assets? To build a strong case, we have to use historical facts not just one year or one term event. alam mo na. lawyers can be bought too… it’s up to us people…
teka, nga po.
diyata’t naghahanap na naman ng masasandalan itong si Vice-Gov.Manny Pinol…?
(a 3 term, rabidly pro-administration governor-apologist, demoted himself and vied for vice-gov last elections to evade and skirt the 3 term rule. as vice-gov., he re-engineered himself as ‘opposition’. most recently, positioning himself again, to run for governor comes May 2010)
nakakasuya lang kasi dahil hindi naman talaga inosente ang mamang ito at merong din pribado’t bayarang army.
hindi rin kilala ito na marunong tumanggap at sumalo ng kritisismo: ang mag-asawang George at Macel Vigo, parehong community journalists, pinaslang habang naglalakad sa Kidapawan City, North Cotabato, ay kilalang mga kritiko ng Gobernador.
ken,
Sa #25
Palagay ko kapag tutulog-tulog sa pansitan itong mga Presidential candidates at ang madlang pipol sa darating na election,matutuloy ang panaginip ni Pandak na maging reyna enkantada dahil palagay ko may niluluto na naman ang reyna ng mga dwende at ang kanyang mga amuyong ng failure of election.Kapag nangyari iyun walang proclamation na magaganap sa Senators,President at Vice President. Mga local officials lang at mga Tongressman ang iproclama ng Comelec.Under care taker president ang mangyayari kaya malamang na si Noli De Castro ang uupo sa Malacanang kaya hindi kumandidato si Noli na kahit na anong puwesto habang niluluto na ni Pandak sa Tongress ang charter change at malamang na siya ang magiging speaker of the house. Todas politana na naman ang Pinoy kung di tayo magbabantay. Baka mauwi na sa Civil War at maraming backhoe ang kakailanganin ng mga provincial governors.

chi,
sana tama ang pagtitimbang mo at mali ako.
pero, kilala ang Korte Suprema na puno ng mga dakilang alalay at tirador ni Gloria. nakita natin kung paano nila mina-niobra ang konsepto ng incumbency rule. yung thread sa ibaba sa Kumolek.
ang puna ko dito, dulog ng dulog sa Korte Suprema, nadadagdagan pa lalo ang mga batas na gula-gulanit at kahiya-hiya. aasahan ko bang i-overrule nila ang Peke?
bagamat may 1987 Constitution, halos lahat ng Presidential Decrees ni Marcos ay kinikilala pa ring batas hanggang ngayon! at ito’y ginawa panahon ng martial law.
dalawang demonyo ang nagsanib dito sa palabas ni Gloria.
Ang problema sa pagdulog sa Korte, magiging 7-7 ang pasya. That renders the proclamation valid.
Ngunit, kung dudulog sa Congress, makukuha rin ang validity, at maaari pang pahabain ang mga araw ng batas militar.
Lesser of evils, sa Korte na lang ako.
agree.
pero, huwag magmadali. hayaan mo muna ang resbak nina Ampatuan kay Peke.
mas may maidudulot itong saysay sa buong kabalbalan..
correction:
Hindi po ako sang-ayon, saxnviolins.
kapag ang Korte Suprema ang maghahatol, magiging parte na ito ng kikilalaning batas ng lipunan, bagama’t baluktot.
kung nais ng isang mamamayan na mabago ito sa hinaharap, kelangan mo ng kahawig o kahalintulad na pangyayari (susmariahosef!) para humingi ng opinyon sa mga Mahistrados..
siyempre, kelangan mo din ng mga mahistrado na hindi utak biya (kailan pa magreretiro ang alagad ni Gloria?) at dagdag problema pa, kasing dalang ng patak ng ulan sa Sahara para matagpuan ang tunay na malulusog ang pag-iisip sa hanay ng mga abugado.
samantala, 3 taon lamang hihintayin para magpalit ng kagawad ng House of Thieves.
sa konklusyon, mas mahaba ang kalbaryo ng mamamayan, at ang kahungkagan, at ang kahihiyan na idudulot sa propesyon ng pagbabatas kung Korte Suprema ang papasok at magbigay ng paborableng desisyon sa Peke!
Re: Sec. 1: There is hereby declared a state of martial law in the province of Maguindanao except for the identified areas of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front as referred to in the implementing operational guidelines of the GRP-MILF agreement on the General Cessation of Hostilities.
Takot si Gloria sa MILF. What the heck is MILF identified areas? Anong klaseng martial law iyan? Siguro chop-chop martial law.
Diego: You already stated why MILF-identified areas are treated differently. Govt-Republika-Pilipinas has additional obligations (obligations to Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Syria, others) based on all those treaty-treaties blah-blah-blah guidelines for General Cessation of Hostilities.
Can anyone guess if there is the implied threat is “…will not accept Filipino overseas workers” if GMA does not conform to those treaty-treaties?
What treaty? Is it approved by the Philippine Senate?
“Ang sabi ng ibang mga miyembro ng Ampatuan clan, kung bibitawan sila ni Pangulong Arroyo, sasabihin din nila ang lahat.”sabi ni Piñol..
What the Ampatuans will be saying, everyone already knows. It is only those bastards in congress that doesn’t know or pretending not to know. That is the reason why the impeachment against Gloria did not materialized because these a-holes congressmen blocked it (the impeachment) not only once, but twice.
“A rebellion was in the offing” — Devanadera
Sinungaling din itong Asong ulol ni Glorya …. ibinaon nga yong mga armas dahil sa takot ….. tapos sasabihin rebellion in tha offing. Baka takot lang yong amo niya baka pumutak ang mga Ampatuan.
Kung ito ay “in the offing” pa lang …. bakit naman yong rebel infested area na ay hindi isinama sa Martial Law?
Tuliro na talaga itong si Glorya … hindi na niya alam ang kanyang ginagawa. Nanggugulo na siya …. siya na yong terrorista.
Rebelyon daw ang dahilan ng Martial Law, eh galing naman sa AFP ang mga bala at baril na nakuha. Talakayin na sana sa congreso itong martial law sa Maguindanao para makita ng botante kung ang tongresman nila sumangayon sa martial law. Sigurado mababawasan boto nila.
Alam natin bago maganap Ampatuan massacre,napapraning na si Pandak kung papano siya mananatili sa pwesto.Gumagawa sila ng paraan kung papano guguluhin ang Mindanao para magkaroon sila ng sapat na rason para mag-declare ng Martila dahil iyun na lang ang natitirang sulpabida niya sa pagkalunod.
Ayun sa suki kung magtataho sa Binondo,Instead of launching war against MILF and MNLF,anong ginawa ng mga amuyong ni Pandakikay, they make did “chismis” circulating between two possible warring clans. The timing was perfect because Datu Andal Sr. was so worried how he can stay in power because of the three-term limit. Andal Sr. even went to the Comelec in the Province of Maguindanao what should he do to enable him to run again for the 2010 elections. A “bobo” Comelec official advised him to take a leave. Another Comelec official advised him to resign. Confused, Andal Sr. went to Malacanang and asked an Arroyo confidante what to do. And Andal was told that the only way for him to hold on to power is to prevent elections there from happening. And he was advised to do what is necessary.Ayun sa suki ko hindi raw niya alam kung ano ang advice kasi nasesikanthought ang mga amuyong sa Malacanang, but I surmise that he was egged on not to give up to the Mangudadatus who were hell bent on grabbing power from him. In short, “binatirya” or “tsinismis patalikod ang mga Mangudadatu kay Andal na aagawin ang poder sa kanila.” And once the power is taken over, the Mangudadatus would take revenge for the raids done on them resulting in seizure of firearms.
Obssesed with desire to keep power revved up by “chismis”, the Ampatuans harbored deep hatred and extreme fear of losing power. And to ensure that no election shall occur, the killings should be done with extreme brutality to justify “martial law,” a condition when no election can be held in the province. And if there would be martial law, the Ampatuans stay in power under the hold-over principle.
I am just wondering how the government will prove “impending rebellion” and make it a legitimate reason for the declaration because the present constitution only allows “invasion and [actual] rebellion.” The qualifier impending was removed by the 1987 framers because this was the very reason Marcos used in declaring Martial Law. The framers didn’t want a repeat of a ML declaration due an impending rebellion.
Agnes Devanadera who was appointed justice secretary by Gloria Arroyo can “play around with words” to use an absolutely irrational explanation to justify an absolutely unconstitutional act at the highest office of the Executive Branch of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines.
Within the next few days, the zarzuela con moro moro will pan out with the actors and actresses in the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the Supreme Court jumping into their respective roles to play out to the fullest.
Even the former head of the CBCP already jumped into the fray with the sneaky phrase “limited to what is necessary”, obviously playing around as well with the collective subconsciousness of the perceived to be “morons, imbeciles, and idiots” among the general population:
The CBCPNews yesterday reported that former CBCP president Jaro, Iloilo Archbishop Angel Lagdameo is hoping that the martial law “will be limited to what is necessary in scope and will be very short in time and not will develop into further violence and violation of human rights.”
The script of the generals of the AFP and the PNP is no surprise, considering the practice sessions with the late dictator Ferdinand Edralin Marcos, Juan Ponce Enrile, Fidel Valdez Ramos, et al circa 1972.
It is no surprise as well that the announcement of Martial Law was done during the trip of Fidel Valdez Ramos outside of the country.
With the more than 60 generals of the AFP and PNP among the presidenital appointees of Glroia Arroyo, led by General Eduardo Ermita, General Angelo Reyes et al, and Supreme Court Justices starting with the likes of Hilario Davide Jr. et al, and topped by the Dishonorables in Congress like Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile et al and with House Speaker Prospero Nograles, what kind of government do the “morons, imbeciles and idiots” among the general population expect.
Mike, i agree. Anong ikakanta ng mga Ampatuans na hindi pa alam ng mga tao? Una ng kumanta si Glue— hindi ba nga nag sorry siya. Nuong nag sorry na siya, dapat posas agad ang mga kamay ni Glue. Talagang may pagka palos din, lahat nalulusutan.
Maguindanao are now paying the price for imbecile midget tenant in Malacanang for coddling of the Ampatuans. It is ironic that the mindless idiotic president now considers martial law as a last recourse to discipline a political ally. The declaration of martial law in their province as this will only create fear, anxiety and intimidation among the constituents of ARMM areas and its nearby towns and provinces

Warning!!! mga Ofw di natin alam ang utak ni Gloria Arroyo tuliro na ang fake gloria arroyo sa malakanyang di na alam ang gagawin grabeee wag sanang kumalat pa ang fake martial law kung hindi lusubin nating ang lahat ng philippine embassy kung saan man kayo nan dyan Barikadahan ang mga embassy para ma pressure ang mga sakim sa kapanyariahan Gloria Arroyo sa ginawa di mo inisip ang mga kawawang mga mamamayan lalo na ang mga bata at matanda.
It’s really scary to let Gloria hold on to something, because, whatever she has already in her pocket, she will never let go again.
She started in Maguindanao to test the waters and if she feels she can get away with it, extend it into the four corners of the country. It doesn’t matter if it’s unconstitutional or legal; it’s her lust for lasting power. Just in case, who will stop her? The Supreme Court, Senate, Congress? They don’t matter; they are powerless as long as she has the support of her loyal generals and the military. The question is what will her COS Ibrado do about it?
Months ago Oplan August Moon has been exposed. Could it be that this is the beginning of that operation?
06 Dec 2009
According to devanadera, a rebellion was in the making by the ampatuans’? reallyyyyyyy????
How cane it be, first, the ampatuan’s are allies of gloria, so how can it be rebellion? second, the, what do you call the milf? a gang????
wala na ba talaga maisip itong si gloria at kanyang mga grupo kundi manatili sa kapangyarihan?
prans
time is running out.. nag x mas shopping pa ata ang nasa kongreso or nagsimbang gabi? over 24 hours na wala pang solid opposition to stop Martial law.. mag rally na naman ang mga tao? nasaan na sila in times like this.
Quote-unquote (from another blogsite). This question will keep getting raised over the next weeks into May-2010.
Gloria lies, cheats, steals and subverts the rule of law, violates the Constitution, shits on peoples heads, spits on Congress, … and will continue to do it because nobody is stopping her.
You can’t blame her for abusing and misusing the tools that are at her disposal; she’s trying it and she’s being allowed to do it. She’s getting away with murder in broad daylight.
No good whining and moaning.
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke)
Sr Ampatuan has escaped from arrest?
Time for the presidentiables to show what they can do for their country. They should get to the bottom of the boobuwit’s motivation in declaring martial law in Maguindanao. They should look deeper than just looking at the ampatuans. Are there new “annointed” who will rig the elections again in 2010?
There’s a collective cry opposing the imposition of martial law in Maguindanao for lack of factual and legal basis.
All statements opposing it cite the provisions of the Constitution that limits the basis of the declaration of martial law to rebellion and invasion.
Justice Secretary Agnes Devanadera cites “brewing rebellion”.

Can it be that all these talks about the Ampatuans getting charged with rebellion may just be a ploy to eventually absolve them?
That rebellion is imminent, according to the DOJ Sec, is already difficult to prove. Proving that the Ampatuans are at the helm of this ‘rebellion’ would even be doubly difficult. They get charged with rebellion, they will eventually get acquitted; the mass murder being an element of the rebellion charge can no longer be pursued as pursuing murder charges will already constitute double jeopardy.
Hindi kaya ganito ang defense strategy ni Aling Gloria para sa kaibigan niya?
Since the 70’s pa may rebellion na sa mindanao. Today, because of a ” brewing rebellion” daw, martial law is declared in areas kung saan walang mga rebelde. Ganito ba ka tanga ang pagtingin ni putot sa mga pinoy?

Rebellion rap vs AMPATUAN are merely are bluffing card bet in poker game,wether you run from the game,or you will get what you are looking,the max from the arm of thelaw.ZIPPING the lips of snitcher on the election results of 2004,the military rule the best to plug the leakage from main pipeline. Everything could be covered up,from media and international watchful eyes.And for the main goal are extension of power,due of no elction purposes due chaos of uprising of the masses,illegal declaration of military rule in the country.
Ka Enchong:
Excellent insight. Murder is absorbed in rebellion, so it cannot be charged as a separate offense.
They will, however, have to prove that rebellion was already “brewing” when Mrs. Mangudadatu and others were murdered; and will have to prove that they murdered to sow mass terror as part of the strategy of rebellion.
Credit them, however, to come up with twisted justifications. That has been the hallmark of this administration. That is also the defining characteristic of this generation of Pinoys – gullibility, plain cowardice, or just plain complacency.

Great point…
Oh boy! The situation is getting to be really a not funny vaudeville — lots of quid pro quos as in any slap stick vaudeville script.
Si Brenda ang nagbigay ng tip kay Devanadera upang ihain ang kasong rebelyon laban sa mga Ampatuan, kung inyo pang natatandaan. At, upang iligtas ang kanyang magician, nagdeklara naman ng martial law si the goyang sapagkat maaari niyang bigyan kunyari ng amnesty bandang huli.
Gagaling nila!
murder as an accesory or elements of rebellion will get the penalty of Reclusion perpetua as defined by Philippine Law, guilty parties suffer lifetime barring from holding political office. this may apply to the sr and other ampatuans.
Andal junior will probably face first degree murder. the penalty remains the same. Reclusion perpetua.
There are 15 heinous crimes in the Philippines including murder, rebellion, rape and plunder. The penalty are all the same depending to the severity of the offense or how our Justice court interpret the crime. With brown bags, the crime can be reduced and can be pardoned with money. Estrada, Jalosjos and Ampatuans. ( great actors in our country) and yet estrada is still allowed to run.
the people of the Philippines should put pressure to Congress that there should be no pardon for the crimes of rebellion with murder and rape unless new evidence warrants an appeal. But this is Philippines, money can speak.
Our Judicial systems penalty and reward are too weak especially if the convicted person has the money. Poor Mang Juan and Pedro who cannot pay for his right to appeal, will rot in jail. The interpretation of the penalty must not be prejudiced.
The Philippine Judicial system and how it is implementing the rule of LAW is well known by many analysts as the weakest. Judges can be bought and perceived to be corrupt. source on corruption study: global integrity report or 2009 economic index report
Penalty for rebellion, insurrection or coup d’etat.
The penalties depend on the severity of the crimes. Severe like murder or rape but knowing the historical weakness of our Justice COURT , it can interpret how much the ampatuan has. The court may forget the true crimes. Will see…
correction: but knowing the historical weakness of our Justice COURT , it can interpret how much MONEY the ampatuan has. The court may forget the true crimes.
