Who’s telling the truth?

The court martial hearing of the 28 officers allegedly involved in the February 2006 attempted withdrawal of support from Gloria Arroyo scheduled for today was postponed. Lt. Col. Bartolome Bacarro, chief of the AFP public information office, said it was requested by lawyers of Brig. Gen. Danny Lim.

Vicente Verdadero, lawyer of Lim, said he never requested for a postponement.

A military court trying Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim and 27 other Army and Marines officers for the attempt to oust government in February last year reset to December 14 the trial scheduled for today because Lim would not be able to show up as he is still under police custody.

Another reason for the postponement was because Maj. Gen. Jogy Leo Fojas, court martial president, is on official mission in Malaysia with AFP chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon, said Lt. Col. Bartolome Bacarro, chief of the AFP public information office.

Bacarro said security was not a factor in the postponement.

“It’s not related… there was request from the lawyers of General Lim for the postponement… and it’s incidental that the president of the court martial is out of the country.”

Lim’s lawyer, Vicente Verdadero, said: “I’m the only lawyer of General Lim and I did not move for the postponement of the hearing.”

Lim, detained since last year in Camp Capinpin in Tanay, Rizal for the February plot, was charged with rebellion Monday in connection with the six-hour standoff at the Manila Peninsula hotel in Makati City Thursday last week.

The standoff was led by Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV who walked out of the Makati regional trial court hearing his coup d’état case for Oakwood mutiny he and other Magdalo officers staged in July 2003.

Lim, who was a witness in the hearing, joined the walkout and the march to the hotel where Trillanes and his group holed out for about six hours until the police stormed the hotel. – Victor Reyes

    Buking naman si Bartolome Bakero. Matagal ng zero credibility ang rehimeng Arroyo. Gastos daw ang pamahalang Espana ang junket ni Gloria at kanyang alipores. Loko-loko at sobrang sinungaling itong Bunyeta. Pare-pareho silang mag-amo.

    What’s the problem if LtSG.Trillanes and Gen. Lim withdrawn their support and loyalty to GMA? This is their right being a loyal soldiers to our people not to GMA corrupt gov’t.

    Who will depend our people and our country from corrupt Politicians and politicize military establishment. Our Pulis Patola, never mine kasi nga kinatatakutan yan ng mga mamamayan kasi baka mahulidap.

    Isa pa si Gloria Arroyo ay hindi ‘State’ kundi isang empleyado lamang ng gobierno. Sa taumbayan galing ang kanyang sahod at ibang gastos. Ang taumbayan ang may kaparatan at tungkulin para patalsikin siya sa anong paraan.

    Right now, we can do civil disobedience to show our displeasure, like Kapitan Faeldon suggested. Any suggestions? I have a few ideas, but, I’d prefer not letting anybody know until I readied all my resources.

    Wake-up CALL to ALL our loving and Nationalist Kababayan to share our resources in order to charge our corrupt gov’t.

    2-years eh marami pang mangyayari sa ating Bayan, kaya nýo pa bang mag-antay hanggang 2010?

    Sama-sama nating ipagdasal ang buong Sandatahang Lakas ng Pilipinas at Kapulisan na magising at mamulat sa katotohan ng Arroyo regime.

    Ayon sa Heb. 13:6, “So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. WHAT CAN MAN DO TO ME?

    just holler when you’re ready.

    Ipaglaban_mo,

    Dapat magka-isa ang lahat ng mga OFWs and Naturalize Pinoy all over the world para sa labang ito.

    OK, Ipaglaban-mo n’ Balweg, call ako anytime!

    pag OFW’s, I think kaya ko naman siguro humakot sa Qatar or kung saan ako sa middle east mapadpad. Game naman talaga mga ofw’s eh. Kulang lang naman talaga tayo ng communication,organization at networking.
    Mahirap i-convince mga ibang naturalize pinoys dahil hindi talaga sila informed/constantly updated kung ano nangyayari sa bansa natin. Ang alam lang nila bumabababa ang dolyar at gumaganda ang ekonomiya daw kaya medyo close ang pananaw nila. We can’t blame them for that, pero busy lang talaga sila sa work nila kaya wala talaga sila alam sa totoong nangyayari. Kaya nga kung pwede ma-expose’ mga kagaguhan ni gloria sa international news, the better.

    Balweg, Chi….Sana kung mag o-organize, sana iyong totoong buo ang loob at commited sa ipinaglalaban.

    Yeah! you’re right.. How about c Esperon? What kind of soldier siya?

  14. balweg balweg

    keisha10,

    Tama ka, dapat buo ang loob,may prinsipyo at paninindigan.
    Kasi noon pa man at sa kasalukuyan eh di masusukat ang kabayanihan ng Pinoy. Di kasama dito ang mga TRAPO at Balimbing, kasi tulad sila ng Hunyango nagpapalipat-lipat ng kulay kung saan madikit eh.

    We need to help and support Sen. Trillanes/Gen. Lim and co. till the end of their struggle against corrupt gov’t officials and military/police Generals.

  15. balweg balweg

    rebelfiancee,

    How about c Esperon? A million question? Garci boys yan, wala akong makitang moral ascendancy kay General problem.

    Sayang PMA grads pa, pero walang loyalty sa Bayan. Dapat being the Chief of AFP eh maging protector sila ng Masang Pinoy. WALA as NO!

    Pwede pa tangke, tirgas at putok ng bala ang isasample sa atin para magsitahimik tayo at pagsinamang-palad MUNTI ang bagsak.

    Yan si Gen. Espi, walang gutz.
