Esperon refuses to be among the “upright” members of the military and police that Jun Lozada called on to make a stand for truth and justice.

CLARK FIELD, Pampanga. – Armed Forces chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon Jr. and Army chief Lt. Gen. Alexander Yano on Monday rejected the call of NBN-ZTE witness Rodolfo Noel Lozada for the military and the PNP to make a stand on the issue of corruption in the Arroyo government.
The corruption allegations are fuelling calls for President Arroyo’s resignation or removal from office.
“We are making a stand that the military should not be drawn into this… It would be better for us to stick to our mandate… We have been clear about it. There have been calls for our elements to join the fray. Our stand is we’d rather remain a constitutional organization following the chain of command, obeying the duly constituted authorities,” Esperon said after the closing ceremonies for a three-week Balikatan exercise with US forces.
“Our stand is that the more that the military intervenes into such political exercises, the more that we weaken democracy that we regained, which we gained for ourselves in 1986,” he added.
Lozada, who exposed alleged anomalies like payoffs in government’s national broadband network project with the Chinese firm ZTE Corp., said Sunday it was time for upright members of the AFP and the PNP to make a stand on the issue as the people are already “stirring.”
Yano said the military’s stand is very clear.
“We have a mandate to perform and we are pursuing that mandate. We follow the chain of command, the duly constituted authority… We cannot afford to have extra-constitutional processes… We cannot afford to do short cuts,” he said.
Yano said the military will not allow itself to be used “by any group” for extra-constitutional purposes.
Yano is succeeding Esperon as AFP chief when the latter finishes his extended tour of duty on May 9.
“There are many urgings for us to act but on what basis? On perceptions of individuals, on perception of groups?” he asked.
Yano said there will be “chaos” if the military and the PNP intervene in a political crisis.
Esperon disclosed fresh “attempts” by retired military officers to recruit active soldiers for a destabilization move against the Arroyo government “but they have not been successful in that.”
He did not give names but implied the retirees were the same personalities involved in the supposed recruitment efforts for the November 29 standoff at the Manila Peninsula hotel in Makati City.
Asked what the recruiters are telling the soldiers, Esperon said: “The same things, like coming out for the truth.”
Text messages spread over a week ago, asking officers and men to come out in the open and expose anomalies in government.
Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz said he would still prefer a civilian-led over a military or police move to remove Arroyo from her post.
But he said a helping hand from the military and the police would be welcome, “on condition that there be no violence and much less bloodshed.”
Cruz, a vocal Arroyo critic, said it is the people who have the sole right to remove their leader.
“The ideal remains that a civilian authority, including Arroyo, better be made to resign by a communal civilian action because it was the civilian Filipino majority that presumably put her in power – so they have the right of asking her to resign from office,” said Cruz, former president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.
He reiterated that the call for “people power” should be led by the public.
“The civilians are the supreme sovereign authority in the country and not Arroyo, the AFP and the PNP combined,” he said. – With Gerard Naval
Why Esperon? He is not a righteous soldier. Lozada called on the soldiers and police not tainted by the Evil Bitch! Ano sila masaya? Parang kinumbidang magtanggol sa mga anghel ang mga demonyo! Susmaryosep!
What about Congressman Guingona’s call for Esperon to step down? Has Esperon replied?
Trying hard lang si Esperon to look like ang angel. Malinaw naman na sinabi ni Lozada na nananawagan siya sa mga matitinong sundalo. Bakit matino ba si Esperon? Sabi nga, pag matino siya, wala nang walanghiya, garapal at halimaw sa AFP! 😛
“Lets follow the rule of law.” – mr. esperon
Sure easy for you to say, you think you are the law!
“We will really have chaos if we do that. We have laws. Lets follow the rule of law.” -Army chief Asspweron
Simulan mo! You knew it naman pala e, why do you cuddle a lawless Gloria?!
Esperon refuses to be among the “upright” members of the military and police that Jun Lozada called on to make a stand for truth and justice.
Of course, he will refuse, because he is not “upright.” He is past that stage when he can be reformed. In short, hopeless case! Walang pag-asa!
Yup, the nerve of this creep to talk about the law! Hindi kaya kinikilabutan ang taong ito?
Hindi maintindihan ni Esperon at Yano yong panawagan ni Lozada..They do not understand kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng tuwid..at tama..truth and justice..inutil ang dalawang ito..kasama na yong dalawang taga iloilo na siraulo at brenda..
Just to share in our prayer this morning at mass: Lord we trust in you!
Karamihan sa kasundaluhan ay gusto ng sumama sa rally. kaya lang, ayaw nilang kasama si esperon duon.
Tama at mali si esperon:
Tama siya na hindi sya kasama duon sa “upright” soldiers.
Mali siya kung akala nya ay inanyayahan syang dumalo sa rally.
Wag tayong magtiwala ke esperon. karugtung ng buhay ni gloria yan!
Itong si esperon sampu ng mga kasamahan niyang ganid, abusado, kurap, walang integridad at higit sa lahat sinungaling na mga heneral ay walang bukang-bibig kung hindi…”they are serving to protect the constitution and obey the chain of command…etc…etc…echos..echas…blah…blah”, masasabi ko lang you are all full of it! Kayo ang sumira sa at nagpabagsak sa pusali ng imahe ng isang magiting at maginoong opisyal ng sundalo. Kaya mga kababayan, kung lilinawin lang natin na mabuti, I think we are all barking at the wrong tree. We can clearly see that the evil dwarf is a not the queen in this chess game of our political crisis. She’s merely a pawn of the real power holder whose name is almost as painful as it sounds…hermogenes esperon is the real puppeteer. When esperon played that vital role as the main villain with garci as the supporting goon that murdered the sacred democratic process calles election, he knowingly acquired the scepter of power that gloria was merely holding. Whenever esperon coughs, gloria gives. So my dear kababayans, I think we should aim some stones to esperon’s way, so that we may at least chip-away some of gloria’s armor.
Anyone here who is kind enough to provide technical info about eggsperon? I mean like his academic grades, etc., because the way I look at him whenever he’s on tv, he always reminds mo of those dim wit characters that Adam Sandler are always portaying like Happy Gilmore and Little Nikki who was a son of Lucifer himself.
May posibilidad na ma-exteded yong position ni Azzpewrong habang nakaupo si dwende. And remember sabi nya na lilipulin yong mga NPA bago matapos yong extended, ilang araw na lang meron bang na improve? Siguro yong bulsa nya ang nag-improve, lalong kumapal.
Hi Guys!!! I would just like to share what I read in one of the online news magazine that I read that really put a smile to my face. There were 3 plastic surgery doctors who were trying to outdo each other. It goes something like these:
1st Doctor: I once had a patient who lost a leg,I operated on him and he’s now a marathon winner.
2nd Doctor: Thats nothing, I had a patient who lost both arms and after the operation, she swam the english channel.
3rd Doctor: Ha! Those are weak!! I once put a mole on a dwarf and she’s now the president of the phillipines!!!
Zobra Na
Tama Na
Xit Na!!!!
Ang kinakausap ni Lozada ay ang “upright” officers and soldiers bakit ang sumasagot ay si asspweron? Because asspweron was one of the Garci generals, beholden si Evil Bitch sa kanya. Kahit na anong gustohin niya ibibigay ni Evil Bitch. Kaya itong buwayang ito ang nagpapaikot sa puwet ni Evil Bitch!
I am praying na i-under arrest at talian o ikulong na lang itong si asspweron,yano,razon,calunsag,barias at yung mga iba pang tuta. Sa dami ng officers who are “upright”, they can over power these few super-corrupt buwayas! Itali na lang itong mga ito na parang baboy dahil that is what they are, “BABOY”.
Enteng Butete, if asspweron is extended another time, hindi na mapipigilan na lalong magalburoto ang mga AFP. SOBRA NA! GARAPALAN NA!
Extending Esperon means only one thing—Evil Bitch has no one else to co-shit with at the moment. If this is is good omen or what, we’ll see soon, I guess.
Sabi nila pag natanggal si Gloria Dorobo, takot daw ang mga pilipino na magkaroon ng military junta. Bakit ano ang akala nila, wala pa? Tignan ninyo ang nakapaligid kay Dorobo, puro sundalo na ngayon ay nakabarong lang, pero tignan ninyo ang mga name cards ng mga ungas. May nakalagay na (ret.) ….of the AFP!
Pero pilya itong secretary ko. Sabi niya,”Kasi, Ma’m, Armed Forces of the pResident Evil na sila!” 😛
so far lozada has no written proof of what he is saying….kahit recording, wala. napakadali mag record ng bagay bagay, kahit sa cel man lang, wala siyang mapakita….so ano yan – mag edsa ba tayo dahil sa sabi sabi? hindi bobo ang nakararami………
Ayaw ngang humarap ni Lozada sa DOJ e.
hindi naman kayo isinasama, ah?
sino ba me sabing sumama kayo sa pagrarali?
doon kayo sa makagarapal sumama. me libreng pangmiryenda.
zardux says: “Wag tayong magtiwala ke esperon. karugtung ng buhay ni gloria yan!”
akala ko karugtong ng nguso ni gloria si es-PWE-ron.
es-PWE-ron, yano, rasyon en company,
mga left and right foolish officers.
EASTERN HEMISHPERE TYPHOON,always started on tropical depression,when these devastating depression garnered enough wind strenght along it’s path,would turns up SUPER TYPHOON.Esperon won’t be able to cover his butt when this “TYPHOON”landed on his front.THE stars on his COLLARS, will be inside the hole of his rear end.
Stupid talaga iyong mga hindi nakakaintindi ng ibig sabihin ng demokrasya. It is the government OF, FOR, and BY the majority, not a few rich people. Maling-mali ang concept even when they say that Filipinos should respect Gloria Dorobo because she is president of the country. Kahit nga hindi iyan nandaya, kahit siya presidente, public servant pa rin siya, at mas mataas ang taumbayan sa kaniya. Iyan ang disadvantage supposedly ng pagpasok sa politika—hindi ka puedeng magmalaki sa taumbayan. Lalo na itong kriminal na iyan, bakit siya dapat respetuhan ng mga taumbayan? Ang dapat sa kaniya ay dakipin at ikulong. May mga batas na supposedly prescribing how to strip such criminal any immunity from prosecution and any right and/or privilege as the supposed leader of the land.
Sabi ng isang demolition team niya na infiltrating this blog, e di i-prove daw na may kasalanan nga. May witness na nga e, and all the police and the prosecutor should do is investigate para ma-establish and krimen at ma-indict ang animal kasama ng mga kasama niyang magnanakaw.
Frankly, may suspicion akong iyong pagpatay doon kay Villaruel na may imbento noong machine na isinusulong noong ng Botong Pilipino (?) at ready na mag-spill ng beans kaya lang naunahan at napatay ng walang laban. Golly kausap ang radio, tinawagan pa si Dorobo pero pinatay pa rin.
Pag inalala ninyo ang pangyayaring iyon baka maintindihan ninyo ng husto ang nangyari kay Lozada na nagtulak sa kaniya ngayon na isiwalat lahat ng alam niya. Sabi nga niya, “Buti pang sabihin na niya lahat, kesa patayin siyang walang kalaban-laban!”
Mabuhay ka Mr. Lozada! Ikaw pa ang dapat na igalang ng mga kababayan mo hindi iyong isang kriminal! Kami kasi dito sa bansa namin, puede kong murahin si Fukuda kung loloko-loko siya. Next time pumunta dito si Dorobo, sasalubungin namin siya ng placard sa airport!
Iyong pagtitibay ng mga kasalanan ni Evil Bitch, hindi iyan trabaho ng taumbayan. Trabaho iyan ng mga pulis at prosecutor. Ang tungkulin ng mga mamamayan ay siguruhing nagtratrabaho ang mga tamad na dapat na mag-imbestiga ng mga isinumbong na mga kasalanan ng animal at mga alipores niya, pati na iyong sibilyan na asawang asta akala mo presidente din siya. It’s as simple as that. Taragis, iyong mga abogado ng ungas, pinag-aaralan ang batas para baluktutin. Unbelievable.
No wonder, ang daming kriminal sa Pilipinas, hindi mahuli-huli! Kaya nga pag hinuli ang tawag, suspect lang hangga’t hindi nai-establish ang krimen at hindi nahahabla (indicted).
Step by step iyan. Kaya maaring abutin ng siyam-siyam pero puedeng mapadali kung gugustuhin. Kaya lang nga what can you expect from a government run by wannabe criminals?!!!
Diyan ngayon kailangan ang dasal. Hindi kailangan ang dahas sa totoo lang kahit na anong sabihin noong demonyong Cabinet member ni Midget. Hindi komo binasbasan siya ng mga exorcists, mas powerful na si Evil Bitch sa Diyos?
Para sa akin, OK iyong mga rallies para matoto ang lahat na makibaka lalo pa’t sinasamahan ng dasal at namumuno ang isang taong mukhang isinugo na ng Panginoon gaya ni Jun Lozada. I haven’t met him. Nakikita ko lang siya at naririnig sa radio, Youtube, etc., but watching him, I see a man moved by God above to do what is right and good for his country and people.
For that, walang puedeng magpabagsak sa kaniya! Baka gabaan pa silang mga salbaheng kung anu-anong kademonyohan ang binabalak sa utos ng isang demonya! Hindi sila magtatagumpay kung may matibay na pananampalataya ang lahat ng nakikibaka laban sa isang ulupong na katulad ni Gloria, Fat Guy at mga alipores nila for truth, justice and good!
“Deal courageously, and the Lord shall be with the good.” (2 Chronicles 19:11)
Sino naman si Esperon para ireject ang panawagan ni Jun Lozada? E, para sa upright men in uniform lang ang panawagan, ‘di ba? Upright ba s’ya?
K. E.: Upright ba s’ya?
*****
Iyan din ang tanong ko, Ka Enchong. Sobrang magbuhat ng bangko ang ungas, di ba? Akala mo matino siya!
“Lozada refuses to talk about Arroyo, only NBN deal,” says an Inquirer banner. Tama naman siya sa totoo lang. Ang part niya ay sabihin ang mga kabalbalan na involved ang mag-asawang kawatan. Iyong pagpapaalis sa kanila ay nasa mga pilipino na kasama na siya.
Madali sana kung may hiya ang ungas pero wala dahil nga criminal ang utak. Dahil sa ayaw naman naging maging madugo ang pagpapaalis sa ungas, dasal muna, pray that God will grant everybody’s prayer na Siya na ang gumawa ng paraan matanggal si Evil Bitch para walang masaktan na mamamayan. OK lang mabiktima iyong mga walanghiya.
Konting dasal pa siguro para mabulgar muna ang lahat. Kinakabahan na rin siguro iyong mga kunsintidor sa China na mabulgar sila. Whatdyaknow, baka may mga imbestigasyon na rin sila doon. Baka may kumukurakot din doon.
Si grizzy naman o, gamit nang gamit ng pangalan ng Diyos. Halata namang di maka-Diyos.
You’re right, grizzy, democracy is for the majority of the people. But do you think the people who went to the interfaith rally in makati represent the majority? That’s not even enough to represent the whole Metro Manila.
Esperon and Yano are right. The military should not be drawn into this. Kung gusto niyo, kayo na lang, wag nyong asahan ang military na magpagamit sa grupo niyo.
Jerz, you’re only echoing what the Malacanang stooges say. Your argument that the rallies were confined to Metro Manila and did not represent the entire Metro Manila could also be used against Edsa One and Two. Then, the people in the provinces did not even know what happened. After Marcos’ downfall, many in the provinces thought he was still the President. Today is much different. With today’s advanced technology and electronic gadgets people have such as cell phones, it is easier to monitor the events in Metro Manila. Many in the provinces have television sets and cell phones. To say that they are not against Arroyo and do not hold rallies is wrong. They did hold rallies but was not played significantly in the media. Besides, those who wanted to join the rest in Metro Manila were prevented from entering Manila. Now, if you further argue that many of the local officials trooped to Malacanang again to show their support to Arroyo as basis for the rest of the country supporting her is wrong again. These officials did not represent their constituents. They were there in Malacanang and would continue to be there regardless of who the President is. Their budget and the release of funds are depended on their show of support of loyalty to the administration. It’s mere survival, nothing else. I can bet with you that even if Arroyo’s ousted and another leader takes over, these same local officials would still be going to Malacanang.
Jerz,you are right no military would joined the crusade agianst present administration, yeehe, don’t forget those will remained on using dirty uniformed, will be less than 2% of the entire members,’cause the remaining,member most of them are “WILLING”to removed those dirtiest fabric clinging to thier body, against to thier principles and pledge to the FLAG.
jerz,
Ang ibig mo bang sabihin ay Supreme Court ang dapat na mamuno sa bansa?
Ang pamunuan ng Korte Suprema ang mamumuno sa pampanguluhan at ang liderato naman ng Armed Forces of the Philippines ang mamamahala para sa ikalawang pampangulo?
jerz,
Napansin ko lang, parang halos lahat dito, ang mga mata nila ay nakatuon sa mga komento mo.
Iyan ay isang karangalan kapinoy.
Magisip isip kana rin na maging patas at bukas ang mata pati na tenga.
Magsaliksik kana rin kung ano ang ibig sabihin nang “COMMON SENSE”
by the way jerz, kapinoy,
Payo lang walang personalan.
es-PWE-ron, rasyon,
jun lozada is calling ONLY the attention of UPRIGHT soldiers and police. hindi kasama doon ang NO RIGHT na katulad ninyong dalawa.
may kahihiyan pa ba kayo?
ay! wala na nga pala dahil sobrang sipsip kayo sa katulad ninyong walang hiya.
“hindi kasama doon ang NO RIGHT TO BE CALLED UPRIGHT na katulad ninyong dalawa.”
kakaunti ang nag rally sa makati kasi kapos sa pondo
less dan 5M ang galing sa cbcp, yung ibang pulitiko naman, ayaw magbigay kasi reserve nila pera nila for 2010.
