ON Monday, when I go to the polls, top on my list for senators are Brig. Gen. Danny Lim (#28) and Col Ariel Querubin (#47).
The two have been in detention since February 2006 when they were charged with attempting to withdraw support from Gloria Arroyo after the “Hello Garci” tapes exposed the use of the military in the tampering of election results in her favor in the 2004 elections.
The two said whatever is the outcome of the mutiny case against them, they would like to pursue life outside of the military. For Querubin, the chance to serve the country by being a member of the Senate is part of his giving back after he was snatched from the jaws of death in 1989.
