Statement of Atty Trixie Angeles, lawyer of Capt. Nick Faeldon:
Today marks the 44th day of the disappearance of Capt. Nicanor Faeldon. By the end of this day, he will have been missing for a longer period than the time when he left detention on 14 December 2005 and was returned to detention on 27 January 2006.
His family, friends and associates hope and pray that he is alive and well. Nevertheless, present or not, he has served and continues to serve as an inspiration to all to continue the fight for a credible government. The organization that he founded, Pilipino.org is doing well, it celebrated its second anniversary and membership continues to grow. Its success is due in no small part to the universality of Capt. Faeldon’s vision for a just Philippines.
We take this opportunity to express our continuing opposition to the government position that Capt. Faeldon must be hunted down like a common criminal. These unjustifiable acts are calculated to cause him harm or justify future acts of violence against his person. In turn, this amounts to an admission that he has become a symbol of continuing opposition to the personification of injustice that this administration and its co-conspirators have become.In contrast, the Philippine National Police no less, has admitted that they can not (will not?) find (look for?) Lintang Bedol, the COMELEC official who is allegedly responsible for wholesale cheating in both the 2004 and 2007 elections. By the PNP’s admission, the hunt for Bedol is limited only to the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao and is not national in scope. There is no reward for any information leading to his capture and there are no WANTED posters out for him.
Yet both men are being “hunted down” for CONTEMPT – Capt. Faeldon for contempt of court and Bedol for contempt of the COMELEC. The only difference being that one opposes the administration and the other props it up. Enough said about the “rule of law” and equal protection under it.

Many police officers are for sale. Impossible to have a good police force with that attitude.
sige lang, kapitan palos. huwag kang pahuhuli sa mga hunghang na alipores ni gloria.
habang nasa “laya” ka, walang kapanatagan ang kanilang isipan dahil palagi nilang hihinalain na katulad ng dati, labas pasok ka sa mga kampo upang patunayan ang kanilang pagiging INUTIL!
The lady of justice holding the balance is no longer blinfolded in this administration. She looks for the oppositors and destabilizers only.
Ever wonder why GMA, her cohorts, and back-up singers have this habit of calling on the RULE OF LAW?

“Many police officers are for sale. Impossible to have a good police force with that attitude. – ADB”
Very painful, but true, some are even good friends, they look forward to the envelops with cash everytime there is a meeting with a prominent government official. How can they refuse, without these, gutom pamilya nila?
juggernaut,
masakit nga. subalit hindi naman dahilan ‘yung pagiging kulang ng sinusuweldo upang magpagamit at maging bayarang tagapagsilbi ng mga kurakot na pulitiko, di ba?
hirap kasi sa kanila ay walang gustong maging malinis na halimbawa at huwaran. lahat gustong sumawsaw sa kabulukan.
Mrivera,
We are living in dark days indeed. Kailangan sumabay ka sa bulok na systema kasi pag sinuway mo, hahabulin ka ng gobyerno kagaya na lang kay Nick Faeldon (may reward pa).
Paano nila makikita si Capt. Faeldon eh nakikipagtsikahan lang yon sa kampo? Ang tanong ngayon saang Kampo? Eh magsipag hanap sila, ano sila sinuswerte na mayroong magtsutsutsu para mahuli yong pobre?
Juggernaut: Di lahat ha! Kasi yong ninong ko na uncle ni misis na reteradong Police General eh respetado at di corrupt gaya ng mga nasa enchanted kingdom. At isa nagritiro ang uncle ko sa kapulisan eh malinis ang record. At mayroon akong cousins sa ISAF at ibang branches ng AFP/Police force eh mga matapat naman sa tungkulin.
Pero tama ka marami sa mga Military & Police officers eh for sale!
Pero tama ka marami sa mga Military & Police officers eh for sale! – balweg
Ka Balweg,
Kailan po ba kaya mababago ang sistemang edukasyon na umuugit sa institusyong PMA, at isama na rin natin ang PNPA. Kasi po, kung ang karamihan sa mga produktong mag-aaral ng nasabing institusyon ay nasa antas ng “for sale” ay wala po tayong patutunguhan, sila ang dapat na magtanggol sa kadakilaan at dignidad ng kabansaan, sila pa rin ang nangbababoy sa ating lipunan… ganun po kabulok ang sistema panglipunan natin, kung ang mga aktibistang istudyante ay sumisigaw sa repormang edukasyon, dapat unahin ang PMA. Kung walang pagbabago sa PMA, patuloy ang pag-usbong nang tulad nina tabako, esperon, berroya, sino ba pa? at maraming pang iba.
buwagin na lang natin ang PMA!
Kayo naman, GMA really believes that we are all created equal, with some people more equal than others!
petite,
PMA, just like UP or any other school here are just that – schools. Nasa tao ang desisyon kung gagawa siya ng tama o mali. In fact, if did not have PMA with its regimented adherence to Integrity, Courage, and Loyalty, not to mention “honor” – our officers will be a lot worst.
Not all products of PMA are rotten eggs, its only a minority, it just so happens that that minority are in power right now.
In our fight for reforms, let us preserve our institutions, otherwise the solution that we choose will be more damaging than the problem itself.
On another note, I visited pilipino.org just a few minutes ago, I like it, especially the civil disobedience articles, as I have similar views.
Ka juggernaut, salamat po. Ang pagkakaiba lang po ng PMA sa UP at sa ibang iskol; ang PMA ay hinuhubog sa aspetong armado upang maipagtanggol ang konstitusyon, ang estado, at ang sambayanan. Sinabi po ninyo na ang karamihan sa produktong mag-aaral ng PMA ay hindi bulok at minority lamang ang bulok, bakit po sa mahabang panahon at magpasangayon ay nagpapati-anod sila sa bulok na sistema. At kung bakit ang karamihang matitinong produktong mag-aaral ng PMA ay hindi tumugon sa panawagan ni Ka Danny noong Nov.29?
Petite ang ganda ng paliwanag mo? I like it. Halos lahat ng graduates sa PMA ay yumaman sa buhay. Example: Si Tabako sa Ayala Alabang yan nakatira, how about yong maraming Heneral ang gaganda ng buhay. Ibig sabihin stepping stone lang nila ang PMA para makapagpayaman sa buhay. Tama o Mali?
About PNPA bagong sibol lang yan at pasasaan ba eh magsisigaya na rin yan sa mga graduates ng PMA. Pagdi corrupt sigurado for sale! May exemption naman ito tulad nila Gen. Lim/Gen. Miranda/Col. Querobun, AT4, Capt. Faeldon at marami pang iba.
Ang mga tunay at tapat na galing sa PMA eh naghihimas ngayon ng rehas na bakal eh? Kasi daw po kaaway daw sila ng batas, eh ninong batas, kay GMA pala “the rule of law”.
Sinu-sino ba ang mga rebelde noong 2001, di ba rebellion at conspiracy ang dapat ikaso sa mga iyan. May pa rule of law pa silang nalalaman. Isama na rin si Davide at Puno.
petite,
The military is probably the most conservative of all institutions. Inorder for it to function as it was designed, radical actions, or anything that disturbs the chain of command is discouraged.
To the majority of the men in uniform, protecting the constitution, adhering to the rule of law is
THE duty, now there are opportunists in their midst, but to a great extent, there are also decent ones. Like it or not, there are those who believe that if they go against their mandate, it will be more damaging to the military institution itself.
The clamor for change in government is more OUR responsibility than the military. Kung pwede lang sana huwag silang madamay. Our apathy has come to a point that kailangan pa nilang isakripisyo ang kanilang mga propesyon para sa atin, hindi pa sapat ang pagharap nila sa giyera.
Pawagan ko nga pala sa mga kabloggers ko, baka isa sa inyo eh nakasama at kadaop-palad noong sa teachers camp, Baguio city, 9th National College Student conference. Ang theme noon eh “Building Tomorrows Leader”.
I’m sure active ang marami sa inyo sa paglilingkod sa Bayan, sana magkita-kita uli tayo. I miss you ALL!
balweg,
Si Tabako, West Point graduate yun. Rebelyon ang tawag pag hindi nagtagumpay, pag nanalo naman – revolutionary government (mas may dating).
Petite,
Siguro, iyan ang tinatawag na Nazi syndrome… maraming tao sa mundo na dangal ang prinsipyo but when there’s so much evil, people, human beings that they are get contaminated.
Pareho sa PMA, whatever one says, I’m certain PMA cadets start off with quite a noble intention, are trained in the most noble tradition and graduate with an excellent notion of nobility and our politics contaminate them. Obviously, I suspect that the moral fiber of those who get contaminated easily is weak.
At the same time, we must face the fact that military officers by training and vocation become martial, i.e., they obey. For a republic to maintin a semblance of discipline, they have to follow rules and regulations of the institution under which they function, rightly or wrongly.
I don’t completely blame the officers who did not heed the call of BGen D Lim — it is very difficult for an officer to turn around and say without a moment’s hesitation and say, “He’s right, I will heed his call and bring down this government…” In that sense, he will become no more no less like the NPA warriors that he’s fighting.
It is my belief that for as long as there is democracy or semblance of it, the military should stay put — they should be the last component of the nation to break away from the Republic.
You see, that’s precisely what happened in 2001 — the military officers DID NOT reflect on the consequences of their action, result: mayhem today.
But if this continues and if truly Gloria and her government intensifies their misrule thereby causing chaoes and indiscipline, there is no doubt in my mind that the good and honourable officers in military who have not joined Lim will come out and topple this govt.
The military cannot thrive in a vaccuum — in principle they operate well in an environment of discipline and order, without which, they themselves will seek to put things right.
Military rule is a double-edge sword. We must not and cannot toy with a military rule.
ADB,
Amen. I could not have said it any better.
Having said that, it is important to remember that since time immemorial, many of the world’s greatest leaders (some were the greates democratic movers) were from the military.
An officer is first and foremost trained to LEAD. Warring is but one of his functions but LEADERSHIP is his inherent vocation.
In other words, do not lose hope in our military, our police, our clergy, and yes even our politicians (some). the fight for good gevernment is a MARATHON, not a 100M dash, we have to keep going, and going, and going (like the Eveready rabbit) until we reach our goal. Survive.
Absolutely Jug! Winning a marathon is not all about winning the first or second leg — victory goes to those who go the distance…
juggernaut: Sang-ayon sa Act no. 3815 (Penal Laws), Art. 134, 134-A & 136: it says; Rebellion or insurrection; Coup détat; and Conspiracy and proposal to commit coup détat, rebellion or insurection.
The conspiracy and proposal to commit coup détat shall be punished by prison mayor in minimum period and a fine which shall not exceed eight thousand pesos.
The conspiracy and proposal to commit rebellion or insurrection or insurrection shall be punished respectively, by prison correcccional in its maximum period and a fine which shall not exceed five thousand pesos. and by prison correccional in its medium period and a fine not exceeding two hundred pesos.
Ka Juggernaut,
Maraming salamat po! Ngayon po ay malinaw na sa akin, ito po ay isang teorya, ma maaring totoo: kung bakit si Esperon ay nasa bansang Malaysia noong kasagsagan ng Nov.29,2007; marahil umiral ang “sistemang kapatirang PMA’er”, nang kani-kanilang batch, kaya’t nagkaroon ng onsehan, sa wikang Filipino – “kataksilan”
Saludo po ako kay Ka Danny, ramdam ko ang sidhi ng kanyang pagmamahal sa bayan, walang siyang pinagbago sapul noong Nov.30,1989 nang una niyang sakupin ang makati; at nawa’y panalangin kong higit siyang maging matatag, dahil maaring ang panawagan niya noong Nov.29,2007 ay ang kanyang Huling Sigaw ng Panawagan para sa Pagbabago! Tanungin ninyo siya, kung may pagkakataon kayong makadaop-palad si Ka Danny?
Hindi po maaring magtagumpay ang reporma kung wala ang hanay ng patriotikong kasundaluhan, ito po ang realidad, sa anumang kaparaang IPOEM ng mga makabayan at rebolusyonarong sibilyan upang igiit ang kani-kanilang reporma ay mananatiling di-uusad, dahil nariyan ang AFP na isang institusyon na nasa kontrol ng iilang ganid at nakakarimarim na Pilipino.
jug/balweg: si Tabako ay West Pointer..and US trained..kaya kung malabo man damadamin niya sa Pilipinas and tainted by US idealogies…it is because he looks at the Phil. from a distance…and besides being that his family was a diplomatic family..hindi talaga niya naramdaman ang buhay Pilipino..si Goria US trained din..at kaklase pa ni Clinton..at because mayaman sila hindi siya
nakakaramdam ng buhay ng isang Pilipino na lumaki sa probinsiya at kumain ng maiz at camote..kanin, tuyo at ginamos..hawolhawol kag ba-ug..ang sabi nga “sapsap balingon amon guina kaon sundaldo ni Quezon”.
.. correction kung malabo man ang damdamin niya…
there was a line in “To Kill a Mockingbird” that said” to know a person, one has to wear his shoes and walk around in them”. I don’t fault them for not knowing but ignorance is not an excuse..maitanong ko lang yon bang Tabako ni FVR ay Ilocos made? what I mean is from the leaves of the tobacco, dried and rolled by hand? hindi Havana?
..nabulol na ang daliri ko..”suldado ni Quezon” ang ibig kung sabihin..
petite: tama ka ang kailangan ay Pagbabago! Ang sabi nga ni Obama “Change” and for us too in the Phil. we need a change in ourselves and our leaders need it more..a change in themselves…and sila lang ang makakawa ng change sa kanilang sarili..and we can just for that..sana nga ibigyan nila ng pagbabago ang buhay ng mga ordinariong Filipino na walang pera na makabili ng kailangan..kahit barya (change)collected could change and make us all one..united..impossible dream..no it is possible if we all work together…tuloy ang laban for change..
..we can just pray for that change..transformational change to borrow the words of Obama..I am not campaigning for him..I am just learning from him..I can not even vote for him..
Rose:Nadali mo, sina Tabako at tita Glo eh mararangya ang buhay niyan. Saan ba galing ang mga iyon? Ano ba sila noon? Di naman sila galing sa silver spoon family, ok naging Presidente ang kanyang ama but di naman lihitimong mayamang pamilya eh.
Si Tabako, eh nakinabang yan kay Insang Macoy niya at yumaman sa kanyang termino eh di ba enjoy sa pag biyahe sa ibang bansa until now.
Tutal napag-uusapan lamang natin ito eh, at sila ang accountable sa ating Maykapal, di nila dadalhin sa langit ang mga iyon.
Doon lang tayo makakabawi!

Ka AdeBrux, salamat po. Ano po ba ang pinag-kakaiba ng ipinaglalaban ni Ka Danny at ng hanay ng NPA? Sa realidad, kaaway ba ng Pilipinong NPA ang Pilipinong AFP, at ang Pilipinong AFP ba’y kaaway ng Pilipinong NPA? Hindi kawalan kung mai-hambing si Ka Danny sa hanay ng NPA, dahil kapwa sila mayroong iisang adhikain – ito ay Para sa Bayan. Malinaw na ang edukasyon ng institusyong PMA ay nakatali sa interes ng mga iilang ganid at nakakarimarin na Pilipino, ito marahil ang pundamental na dahilan kung bakit ninyo nabanggit ang nasa itaas nito.
Si Ka Paeng ng Magdalo ay walang pinag-kaiba kay Capt. Carlos Maglalang ng YOU, iisang katangian ang pagkakaiba nila, si Ka Paeng ay lutang na personalidad samantalang si Capt. Carlos Maglalang ay di-lutang ang personalidad, ni hugis ay wala, subalit tumatagos sa lahat ng sector. Sa kasalukuyan, ganun pa rin ang suliraning panglipunan, at higit pang lumala… na para bang ang sambayanan ay nasa kumunoy, na habang nagpupumilit na umaahon ay lalong ibinabaon. Tapos sasabihin natin na ang pagbabago’y kahalintulad ng isang marathon? Si Ka Danny ay naroon na sa sukdulan ng pagsasakripisyo? Mahigit dalawang dekada na siyang nakikibaka sa loob ng hanay ng kasundaluhan at sa bulok na institutusyong AFP. Nawa’y magkaroon ng kalakasan at katatagan ang lahat ng patriotikong kasundaluhan, at panalanging kong magkaroon ng pagkakaisa ang lahat ng grupong rebolusyonaryo at patriotikong kasundaluhan para itatag ang bagong pamahalaan. May pag-asa pa, sa kawalan ng pag-asa.
‘Oh, Dakilang Lumikha, kaawaan mo ang aming bansang Pilipinas.

surprise surprise!! Alam na alam ni Gloria ang ganyang attitude ng PINOY, i.e., while the fox is inside the chicken coop, the farmer who owns the chickens kneels praying to his god. Meanwhile piggie is laughing all the way to Lichtenstein bank depositing loot from the sale of chickens.
May point ka Petite, “Ano po ba ang pinag-kakaiba ng ipinaglalaban ni Ka Danny at ng hanay ng NPA? … kapwa sila mayroong iisang adhikain – ito ay Para sa Bayan.”
Ganoon man, nag-aaway pa rin sila… parallel army ang NPA at alam mo naman ang ang theory ng arallel lines: hindi puwedeng mag-meet…
I hope GMA, Esperon and the rest of the goons don’t accuse Faeldon as the one who stole the missing plane in Spratly.
Integrity, Courage, Loyalty. A smart aleck pick up those words and saw it was good to emblazon a building. just like any other government offices that have those wall bumper sticker that says, No Lagayan Dito or Beware of… Those words do not necessarily reflect as those of the people in there. We must remember that no one is born that good. So all starter curricula even in the home try to teach us to be good. Look at the babies, the first words they perceive are DONTs. Dont do this, dont do that, No, No, No. Perhaps, PMA for one was not really successful in some cases. Or in all respect after all.
I don’t mind if Capt. Nick Faeldon will remain in hiding and no talk in order not to compromise his situation. I can only pray for his safety.
ito ang hindi ko maintindihan..noong araw the school children were encouraged to save their money and to deposit the money in the bank (PNB pa lang noon) to help the economy of the country..kasi magamit ang pera para pahiram sa mga businessmen sa manufacturing, etc. Ngayon ang mga mayayaman gaya nila Pidal ay sa ibang lugar dedeposit ang kanilang pera..ang nakikinabang ay ang mga lugar where their money is deposited..Hindi ba si goria ay doctor of economics…sa tingin ko dinodoktor ang economy…
Let us just pray for the safety of Capt. Faeldon..at I hope and pray that he is still alive..come March one year na nawawala si Burgos..and the mystery still remains a mystery..whodunit?
Yes. I agree with rose, for our part, prayers…
juggernaut,
nasa prinsipyo lang ‘yan.
kung ugsot ng isang tao na mas panatilihin ‘yung walang bahid dungis niyang imaheng halimbawa sa kanyang kapuwa at kasamahan kahit sako pa ng salapi ang ilatag sa harapan ay hindi niya ipagpapalit ang paglilingkod na sinumpaan. subalit kung paiiralin ay katwirang “bakit sila”, eh talagang mauubos ang mararangal sa hanay ng (dating)marangal na hukbong sandatahan at kapulisan.
“kung GUSTO ng isang tao na mas…….”
Mrivera: ……ang dami niyan? Ooopppssss! marami ka na bang tulya na nadapurak diyan sa read sea. Batuhan mo naman kami dito ng isang timbang tulya, sabi nila masarap daw yan.
Rose: Capt. Faeldon is in good hand, he’s roaming around lang yan somewhere sa enchanted kingdom. Protektado yan ng mga mapagmahal sa Bayan.
Nabanggit mo si Burgos, for sure tinodas na yan ng AFP (Anti Filipino People) ni awsperoni. Lokohin nila ang lelong nilang panot. We are not born today at ginagawa nila tayong boba (di si ethel boba ha!), akala nila wala tayong relatives sa AFP (Arm Forces of the Philippines) or PNP (di sa hanay ni Gen. Barrias ha).
Last vacation ko nga eh may nakatsikahan akong Colonel ng PNP, ofcourse maraming kwento….. at di na bago ang extrajudicial killings ng mga corrupt military/kapulisan sa ating bayan.
Kakarmahin din ang mga iyan….ayon sa Bibliya; kung buhay ang iyong inutang, buhay din ang kabayaran? Remember mayroon din silang pamilya!
Valdermar: Re: Integrity, Courage, Loyalty?
Wala na ata yan sa militar/kapulisan natin eh, kung mayroon man sa hanay na lang nina AT4/Gen. Lim/Gen. Miranda/Col. Querubin/Capt. Faeldon and co.
At saka yong sa hanay ng mga fence-sitter, join lang sila kung saan nila inaakala na makikinabang sila, in short sila yong mga silent majority!
Di ba proved yon noong 2001? Ano ang ginawa nila WALA, suportahan ba naman ng goons ni Tabako and co. so nasipa si Erap palabas ng Malacanang.
Kung maynatitira pang bait at pagmamahal ang mga iyan sa ating Bayang minamahal eh ano ang magagawa ng mga General problems na yan eh ang lakas ng AFP/PNP eh nasa field commmander coz’ sila ang may hawak ng kasundaluhan at armaments. Yang mga General problems na yan naka aircon lang at nagkukuyakoy sa lamig ng mga office nila.
Ang backbone ng AFP/PNP eh nasa mga junior officers dahil sila ang may hawak ng platoon ng mg suldado.
The military, just like the clergy, or any other institution are bombarded by doubts, questions, suspicions, etc. – let us not lose all hope, all will be revealed in good time.
Juggernault: Alteast sa AFP they have only few reformist groups (like; YOU/RAM/B.Katipunero and others), but in the religeous side parang kabute sa dami, kaya hayon kanya-kanya ng aral at paliwanag. Ang gugulo nila! May nagsasabi na sila lang ang ligtas at mayroon namang iba pag di ka IN eh OUT ka. Ano ba yan? Sobra na, Tama na!
Ang bottom line ng buhay ng mga Pinoy eh magpakatotoo sa kanyang sarili, igalang ang karapatan ng kanyang kapwa-tao, ipagtanggol ang Bayang Pilipinas at magkaroon ng takot sa Panginoong Dios. PERIOD!
“igalang ang karapatan ng kanyang kapwa-tao, ipagtanggol ang Bayang Pilipinas at magkaroon ng takot sa Panginoong Dios. PERIOD! – balweg”
AMEN…
Rose: ..si Goria US trained din..at kaklase pa ni Clinton..
*****
This is a fallacious statement propagated by the liars who are banking on imaginary US connections to fool everybody but I understand that Clinton has already corrected this by saying that he never knew Dorobo when he was in Georgetown U. It is also impossible for him to be a classmate of Dorobo because of the two-year age difference and the fact that the Dorobo was not a regular student there according to my informant.
In fact, this is one thing that Philippine media people should check with Georgetown U. I understand a Philippine publisher in LA has a copy of a letter of denial of the allegation by the Pidals and their propagandists about his being a classmate of the Dorobo.
Ayaw lang magpahiya ni Clinton sa totoo lang. Frankly, I cannot understand such mentality but I know a lot many Filipinos who love to name drop even if it is not true. Di bale sana kung tunay like Rose being a cousin of Ellen. Walang masama diyan but to even claim that Clinton was her beau, susmaryosep! Lalong kahibangan na iyan!
Si Goooria, kaklase ni Clinton? For how many days?!
BTW, just bought Gorilla Glue, a super wood glue. Hindi raw natitinag o umuuga man lang ang mga wood na pinagdikit ni Gorilla Glue, sabi ng tindero.
Hopefully, buhay pa si Capt. Faeldon. Baka ala-Jonas ang ginawa sa kaniya. Susmaryopes! Huwag naman sana!
Capt. Faeldon will not be caught unless he wills it.
Yup, tago ka lang Capt. Nick.
Two long years, if we can’t kick Gloria’s butt earlier…and you’d be free!
I rather not hear his whereabouts, baka meron na namang chick na bait si Ass!
Si Rivas pa-in nga, but not in the way the ISAFP made it look. Pinalabas ng mga ISAFP na girlfriend ni Capt. Nick si Rivas when the truth is that she was being groomed to be a spokesman for the movement. Pero dahil babae siya, madali paniwalaang may relasyon sila.
