Arroyo’s dream team

boysie-rosales PHILIPPINES-POLITICS-ARROYO-UNREST

A well-placed source in the Arroyo administration told us there would be movements in the next few weeks in the mid-level of the military that would compel a three-star general to move out of his area command a month before his retirement.

The source said the movement is apparently towards putting in place Arroyo’s dream team that would help her implement her no-exit plan in 2010.

The information we got is that Lt. Gen. Nelson Allaga will be turning over the Western Mindanao Command to Lt. Gen. Ben Dolorfino, currently the Marines commandant, sooner than his (Allaga) July 16, 2009 retirement.

Dolorfino’s ascension to Wesmincom will pave the way for Maj. Gen. John Martir becoming in command of the 8,000- strong elite Marines Corps. That means Maj. Gen. Juancho Sabban, head of the, commander of Task Force Comet, an anti-terrorism and anti-insurgency unit, and the
most senior Marine officer next to Dolorfino, would be bypassed for that politically-strategic position.

We wondered why Arroyo, the commander-in-chief, could not wait for Allaga to retire two months from now to vacate Wesmincom. The source surmised it must have something to do with expected political activities next month particularly related to charter change. House Speaker Prospero Nograles has said that they have up to June 6, when Congress adjourns its second regular session, to push for House initiatives to change the Constitution.

The source said Allaga will just “float” up to his retirement on July 16. No ambassadorial job for him unlike recently prematurely- retired AFP Chief Alexander Yano who was named ambassador to Brunei and his vice chief of staff Cardozo Luna, who was designated ambassador to Netherlands.

Allaga reportedly plans to run for the position of Ifugao governor in the 2010 elections.

So, why not Sabban as Marines commandant?

The source said since the reason for all this irrational movements is political, there’s no way that Arroyo will put Sabban in command of the Marines, many of whose officers have figured in past coup attempts. “Malacañang does not consider Sabban ‘theirs’ in the same way that they can depend on Martir, Bangit (Army chief Delfin Bangit) and Esperon (former AFP chief Hermogenes Esperon) to do their bidding,” the source said.

Related to this, fellow Malaya columnist Lito Banayo related in his April 29, 2009 column that sometime last February, PNP Chief Jesus Versoza was called to Malacañang. Versoza was reportedly surprised to see then Western Police District Chief Roberto “Boysie” Rosales (PMA Class 78) already Arroyo.

Banayo said, “ In no uncertain terms, he (Versoza) was told that royalty wished that Rosales be posthaste promoted to chief of the NCRPO, vice Leopoldo Bataoil, Versoza’s mistah (PMA Class ’76). Bataoil had been in the post of NCRPO head only a few months, and had hoped to retire in that posting. Now they invented a powerless title and position for one who headed NCRPO briefly, but with great promise and professionalism.”

Banayo further said, “ The speculation going around Camp Crame nowadays is that Versoza, who will turn 56 on December 25, 2010, will be saying adieu to his post one year earlier, on or before Christmas Day this year.” Rosales is a shoo-in to replace Versoza.

November 30, 2009 is the deadline for the filing of certificate of candidacy of all those who are running in the 2010 elections. Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, who has declared his bid for the presidency, is expected to vacate the position not later than Nov. 30. Esperon, who remains close to Arroyo as head of the Presidential Management Staff, will finally get the position he had said he was “honored” to get when he retired from military service in May 2008.

Martir as Marines commandant, Bangit as Army chief, Rosales as PNP chief, Esperon as defense secretary. That’s Arroyo’s dream team. What can AFP Chief Victor Ibrado, who is seen as professional soldier do? Besides he will be retiring in March 2010 or who knows even earlier to pave the way for Bangit to to be AFP chief.

    Lutong macao na naman ang 2010 elections. With the dream tam of putot, anything can happen…cha-cha, martial law or massive cheating in 2010, even bigger than the 2004 “Helo Garci”. MAPAGMANMAN tayong lahat. There are only a few of these ROTTEN to the bone officers. There are 90 MILLION of us!

    Gising mga kababayan!

  3. parasabayan parasabayan

    Wow! Rigodon ng mga trapos ng AFP, a “hello Garci General”, the “emperor”, and an AWOL. I do not know this Rosales but maybe he has been promised a “hefty” retiremnet package too and an ambassarorial position to boot!

    I just want to offer my prayers for the REPOSE of Gloria’s dream team’s souls! This include of course the principal, Gloria! A requiem mass in advance to all of you!

  5. Obviously, those who were eased out by the Evil Bitch belong to a fraternity group that command so much influence and respect from their fellow brethren in the police and military.
    Those who are on the level know what I’m talking about.

    ooops…napaaga yata yung classified confidential info…hmmm

    dami talagang posibleng mangyari..pero ang garapalang kilos at galaw ng malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration ay mas nakakayanig sa mga susunod na araw at panahon.

    ang mga pahiwatig ng no-election, ang mas organisadong dayaan at posibleng martial law ay hindi na maaring ipagsawalang bahala…ang masama ay magising na lamang tayo na si gloria ay prime minister na at matagumpay na naisakatuparan ang kanila na namang isang malaking panlilinlang.

    wait til our beloved congressmen do their share and insists for charter change thru selection of delegates naman…

    mahirap pagkatiwalaan ang rehimeng ito…labas sa ilong lahat ng mga pahayag sa isang maayos na eleksiyon…nationwide poll automation…di pagsuporta daw sa chacha at ang maayos daw na pagbaba ni gloria sa puwesto sa 2010.

    maging mapagmatyag at kumilos upang hadlangan ang anumang panlilinlang, noong isang taon pa nakalatag ang plano nila at hindi sila lalaban ng parehas at susugal hanggang sa huling baraha makaligtas lamang sa mga kasalanan nila sa bayan.

    pero sa ginagawa nila ngayon sa afp at pnp, kung sakali man na ituloy at igiit nila ang plano nila na mapanatili sa puwesto ang magaling nilang gloria…ay hindi na maiiwaan ang malaking trahedya…pinakiusapan na lamang sila ng ibang pinuno at hierarchy ng afp at pnp na patapusin na lamang ang termino ni gloria para di dumating sa puntong sila-sila magpapatayan…pero marami pa ring ganid sa posisyon at kapangyarihan na isusugal ang organisasyon mailigtas lamang si gloria at alipores.

    shame on you!!! malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration!

    shame on you!!! sa mga military at police officers na nagpagamit at patuloy na nagpapagamit!

    shame on you!!! sa mga trapos at taong gobyerno na kumukunsinti sa kalokohan ng magaling ninyong lider!

    shame on you!!! sa mga mambabatas, taga-usig at tagapagpatupad ng batas sa patuloy ninyong pagbubulag-bulagan!

    Iwatcher, THEY HAVE NO SHAME! Makakapal ang mga mukha niyan. If this regime continues to push with their hidden agenda to prolong the reign of the bitch. I can smell blood!

  8. iwatcher2010 iwatcher2010

    kaibigang be…

    mas mahirap kung makita natin ang patak ng dugo…dahil hindi na natin maampat sa pag-agos kung sakali man dumating sa malaking trahedya.

    pinipilit iwasan at maraming namamagitan upang maiwasan ang pagpatak ng dugo…pero pag iginiit pa rin nila ay di na maiiwasan ang nagsisilakbong tinig ng mga junior officers at senior officer,at sila na mismo ang magsisimula sa paglilinis ng isang organisasyon na pinilit gawing sangkalan at mistulang tanggulang pansarili ng malacanang mafia at arroyo corrupt-poration.

    at hanggat kaya pang mapigilan, ay sama sama nating ipagdasal na maiwasan ang pagpatak ng dugo sa mahal nating bayan.

    When Martir takes over as Marine Kumandante, I urge all those 8000 or so marines to go AWOL, FOR ONE YEAR! Would be fun to see what “Gone Awol Kumandante” do?

  10. parasabayan parasabayan

    Great idea TruBlue! Wouldn’t that be fun? The Martir will go and fight in Mindanao by himself instead of sitting in his aircon room in Manila!

    medyo mabigat dream team ni gloria…dapat panapat diyan ay voltes V o star rangers o transformers lang

    para kasi silang evil empire

  13. iwatcher, I do understand what you say. But sometimes, we need to shed blood to achieve the impossible and unreachable dream.

  14. FYI, the Catholic Bishops are meeting the Evil Bitch in Malacanang again. Asking for white envelopes again?

  15. Rose Rose

    Ang sabi nga Tell ii to the Marines…so pag si John Martir na ang inyong hepe magtago kayo sa silid ng John at mag AWOL din kayo. Strike while the iron is hot..strike . mag AWOL kayo kshit isang lingo lang…kung sabay sabay and united mas effective..strike..mag AWOL rin kayo and the whole Marine force will stand still and Atlas will slimply shrug.you can all do it..you should do it and you must do it yan ang panalangin ko..TruBlu what a great idea..at ang lahat na true blooded marines should do it..

  16. Rose Rose

    BE: I have my faith in God BUT wala akong tiwala sa CBCP they are not a Good Shepherd..they don’t keep their flock safe..they don’t feed the lamb..maraming tupa na nanamatay sa gutom at hawak sila ni Gloria…malungkot..They are meeting putot with open palms..and would say “the envelope please.” magkano naman kaya ang bibigay sa kanila?

    Will somebody able to enlighten us with the capabilities of MGen Martir to turn the Philippine Marines into a world class fighting force in terms of: 1)responsiveness to the welfare of the civilians it is supposed to serve; 2)discipline in combat and within the human social environment; 3)hitting with precision the enemy without damaging the non-enemy, the civilians as well as the environment; 4)creative and effective utilization of limited as well as indigenous resources; 5)related to the former, non-dependence on technology and firepower that is beyond the financial capability of our Nation yet, effective in real combat; 6)ensuring the combat effectiveness of the unit at its most basic unit- not the fire team but the single marine (not armed but even without it); 7)and above all, able to identify itself with, the Filipino people as self, as against the foreign invader as the enemy. This must also include, combat experiences.

    Maybe somebody could present to us a comparative study on the said officer and his possible contenders/contender without giving the name/names of the contenders/contender but whose credentials and capbilities are real and verifiable.

    This is in the highest interest of us the Filipino people because we are paying with our hard earned money for the maintenance of the Philippine Marines as for other military units also. We deserve no less than the best service to protect us Filipinos. We do not deserve our money being spent to for a unit being nothing but a burden to us as well as a threat to our lives. We do not deserve a unit who protects the foreigners who control our resources and destroys us supposedly brother Filipinos.

    This is in the highest interest of the Filipino soldiers among us whose source of reason for being is in the knowledge of being associated with the military of a country with which its peole feel safe, foreign nations respect, and foreign enemies can be eliminated before fear could take over them.

    This is in the highest interest of the Filipino marines among us whose source of reason for being a Filipino marine is in the assurance of being in the most profesional, toughest, most battle tested and above all, most able to accomplish its mission. It is in the assurance that the marines are led by the most respected, most battle experienced and most able to accomplish its mission kind of leader that, the whole unit will also able to replicate the characteristics of the said leader. It is the respect of the people that the Filipino marine is able to go thru the toughest of conditions even unto death.

    I hope this could be presented.

    dream team?

    maybe the four horsemen of the apocalypse…
    bearer of plague, famine, catastrophe and total destruction of our country

    pansinin ninyo ang kanilang mga larawan…may kakaibang panganib at takot kang makikita sa kanilang mga mukha, kakaibang panganib at takot na nagbabadya ng isang malaking trahedya….isang malaking trahedya na lalong wawasak sa ating pagkabansa

    ang kasagutan ay nasa atin pa ring sama-samang pagkilos at pagkakaisa upang tutulan o hadlanagn ang isa na namang malaking panlilinlang sa taong-bayan.

    mas higit na maging mapagmatyag at magbantay sa ating demokrasya…anumang kasamaan, pang-aabuso sa kapangyarihan at panlilinlang ay may hangganan din.

  21. Dorek Dorek

    Kaya ang iendorso ni Unanong Glorya sa pagka-Pangulo kuno ay si Teodoro para mabakantehan ang Defense Minister tapos isasalpak si Esperon. Hmmmmm … kasabwat pa din kaya si Teodoro o na-engot siya ni Glorya.
    Kung si Esperon din lamang ang pag-uusapan … wala na yan … kasama na niya sa hukay ang bantot ng … kanyang ebak.
    Eto namang siguro si Rosales .. ay kamag-anak ni Poblador na alalay ni Gloryang putot at kamag-anak ni Archbishop Rosales.
    At eto naman si Martir … akala ko atcheng yan?

  22. chi chi

    Marines, what say you of John Rat Martir being your commandant?

    Ano, kapag ba sinabi ni John Rat na train your gun on us in case of a big rally to prevent korap Gloria forever scenario, will you obey without thinking?

    I know that there are still a lot of rangers who don’t like what’s happening in the military, but as if they are pipi, bulag at bingi na rin. Baka, kumendeng lang si John Rat Martir e, Yes Sir (madam yata) na rin! Nakakasawa na, walang pumapalag sa kanila!

  23. chi chi

    At ito namang si Jinggoy, una pa na nag-OK sa appointment and promotion ni Joana. Lumalaro kay korap Gloria ang hinayupak na Jinggoy. Hmmmppp!

    Bakit si Assperon mukhang constipated dun sa picture niya?

    Gilbert Inodoro errr…Teodoro pala went to Harward for nothing. Until now, he still has not figure out that Gloria and Ass are just yanking his chains. Or might be that he is really an idiot thinking that he could win the presidency via Gloria’s endorsement.

  26. parasabayan parasabayan

    Chi, Teodoro is just a wasted Harvard graduate. Sayang yang taong yan but he DOES NOT GET IT! How can he possibly clean the country when the AFP during his watch have corruption left and right and he not done anything to stop it!

  27. It’s not only Teodoro. Anyone who worked for the Evil Bitch or is associated with her is a jack ass, nincompoop.

  28. BALUGANGGALA BALUGANGGALA

    SUSMARYOSEP !!!!!!!! Nasaan ngayon yong mga militante, mga righthous group na responsable sa pagkapuesto ni gloria sa Palasyo ng mga Pilipino. Nasaan sila ngayon, yong mga OBISPO hayon parang mga hunghang at mal edukadong nagpapagamit sa MANDARAYANG BABAE na yan. Lasy week lang may picture taking pa sila sa Cebu na ipinakalat pa ng Malacanang media sa mga pahayagan, ngayon kuno-kuno may miting na naman sa palasyo. Hindi ba nila nahahalata yan, ginagamit lang sila, o baka naman may LOOT BAG ang mga yan paglisan ng palasyo. mga ESTUPIDO, HUNGHANG AT TANGA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAG-ISIP NAMAN KAYO !!!!!!!!!!

  29. Rose Rose

    Si Teodoro ay graduate ng Harvard? or Harvardian sa Morayta?

  30. syria syria

    Isa lang ang deperensya ng gobyerno natin at gobyerno ng Myanmar halimbawa matuloy ang dream team ni GMA. Sa Myanmar, ay military rule na kung saan ang pinuno ay lalaki samantalang sa Pinas, ay semi-military na kung saan ang pinuno ay pokpok.

    Hindi malayo na magbackfire ito kay GMA pag nabuo ang dream team at siya ang patalsikin. Alam ng mga ito na malayong mas malaki ang maibubulsa nila kung wala si pokpok. Malamang iisipin nila na wala ng kridibilidad si pokpok kanya kinakailangang patalsikin siya. Ang malamang na puwedeng mamuno ng pagpapatalsik kay pokpok ay si Ermita na dati ring Heneral. Kabisado na niya ang pasikut sikut mg palasyo.

    History might repeat itself again. Kung si Ramos noon ay pinatalsik si Marcos, si Ermita naman ang siyang magpapatalsik kay pokpok.

  31. When it comes to academic credentials, Teodoro is outstanding. He went to Harvard University. I think he finished cum laude at UP.

    How he is using that education is another thing with his support for Gloria Arroyo.

    But we are a democracy. He has a right to aspire for the presidency. We don’t have to vote for him.

  32. parasabayan parasabayan

    Syria, Ermita is the fattest dog of the pandak. He is secured for life including those na “nakakabit” sa kanya. Magaling mamili si pandak ng mga aso niya, puro sila “ulol”!

  33. This selection could be a test run, sinusubukan kung anong ating magiging reaksiyon, but the bottom line is, each of us has a power to change the future, use our critical thinking not our emotional method of choosing the right leader. Let’s sacrifice on 2010, do not let anybody influence your vote, be proud, make an important decision for yourself, family, and your country Philippines.

  34. Enciong Enciong

    Ma’m Ellen,

    How about the SAF? 15th Strike Wing? 5th Fighter Wing? SOCOM?

    Do you have any inkling kung sino ang iuupo dito prior to May 2010?

  35. parasabayan parasabayan

    Enciong, kaya nga si Col Querubin eh aalis na lang sa AFP. I can not imagine Col Querubin calling this “rat”, Sir. Excuse me! Kung hindi pa niya pinakulong si Col Querubin baka wala pa siyang estrella ngayon. Magaling talaga ng elimination si John “rat”. Ang mas importante eh alam ng mga marines kung sino talaga ay may kakayahang mamuno. Malayong malayo si Sabban sa dagang ito. Kaya lang si John “rat” ang tigapunas ng ebak ni asspweron yun may pabuya! Shame on this shameless rat!

    Positioning to hit the target bull’s eye.

    Yan ang ginagawa ng mga alipores ni gloria upang walang makasalungat sa kanilang maiitim na balak. Mula sa maliit na pinakamataas hanggang sa pinakamababang utak abong alipores ng bruha, pagkakamal ng yaman, pagtatampisaw at pagbaboy sa batas upang mapangalagaan ang kanilang pansariling kapakanan ang layon kaya pumapayag din ang mga pinapalitan dahil merong “matamis na pabaon” at panghabang buhay na seguridad sa paghawak ng panibagong pagkakadatungang puwesto sa gobyerno.

    Bayan, hanggang ngayo’y tulog ka pa ba?

    May chance kaya na ilagay ni Phil Marine Corps Commandant Jonathan Carr Martir si Ambassador/Agent PA Msg Emmanuel Pacquiao as Honorary Deputy Comamndant, Philippine Marines dahil magaling naman ito sa Boxing?

    Sana naman. Para mapuno na ng husto ang ating mga marino.

    Naw yu noh!

  38. Enciong Enciong

    Sino ang mas magaling pagdating sa paggamit at paglagay ng tao: si Marcos o so GMA?

  39. TruBlue TruBlue

    Rose/PSB: What’s horrifying is when Martir joins the 8000 or so marines going AWOL, wink! wink! Lalong nagkaloko loko na ang militar ni Gluerilla.

    It’s soooo disgraceful seeing someone become a MGeneral in the marines after going AWOL for so long with the blessings of the government. Many of us here are still in disbelief up to now.

    Off-topic: There is a news program at NBC (MSNBC) hosted by Keith Olbermann called “Worst Person in the World”. I’ll try to get his attention and maybe Martir or Gluerilla can be worst person/s in the world or the senate who confirmed Martir’s promotion.

  40. Liwayway-Gawgaw Liwayway-Gawgaw

    Kapag si Joanna ang napapwestong Marine Commandant ang gagawing anthem ng Marine Corps ay Paruparong Buking.

    Mga Marines na tinaguriang “the brave, the few, the proud”, papayag ba kayong pamunuan ng isang heneral na walang combat achievement kundi ang magpakintab ng combat boots?

  41. Enciong Enciong

    Maganda yan, TruBlue. Go for it!

    Baka sakali na kahit thru that, hindi maiupo si Martir as Commandant. Napakalaking serbisyong-bayan ang magagawa mo if mangyari yon.

  42. What else we can expect from a team of Stars harvesters, either a kissing butt hole or JUDAS in the making,never they will bear on their brain the CREED of HONOR being as PMA’ers,it show how STUPID we are. We hired and paid these crooks,called PUBLIC SERVANTS,to robbed,manipulates and dragged this entire nation into shame,being human exporter to served,produces and for well being of another countries economy.Where in the world you could find a(fake)leader of a nation looking for a place of employement of his/her people for work,only the PINAS,’cause we tolerated all the action been made of this CROOK woman.

  43. josé miguel josé miguel

    Thanks for the info on the link showing info on MGen Martir. I noticed one item where the officer said, “We have more than 40 years of fighting an active insurgency…” I thought for a while 40 is quite a long experience in combat for MGen Martir and for most soldiers for that matter! But then he continued, “Both our Marine Corps have gain experiences fighting insurgencies; the U.S. in Iraq and the Philippine Marine Corp here.” So he actually meant the length of time of fighting experience of both the US Marine Corps and the Philippine Marines!

  44. josé miguel josé miguel

    I also surfed the link, thanks to enciong, a related link which also showed information on another senior marine officer who is a rival contender to the top post of the Philippine Marines. Just by the news items, we could already see the concrete accomplishments of this rival contender. The accomplishments closely fit into the 7 itemized criteria enumerated in my earlier post# 20, May 18, 2009 8:54 am.

    I did not say perfectly fit. The part where the said rival officer worked in partner with the Americans weakened our efforts to recover our independence. It also allowed them to insult us because after they invaded us in 1899 where 500,000 to 900,000 of us died due to their massacre, tortures, consentration camps and rapes, after they threw away our original and organic Malolos constitution, after they continue to control our military today inspite of their having raped our Filipinas, we still allow them to win the gratitude of our Muslim brothers with their humanitarian public relations operation.

    I just hope the contender just did not have any choice given the situation. However, MGen Joan Martir is really proud to be associated with the US Marine Corp. He is an inferior contender.

    I hope someone with a ready access to information, a big headstart and already has a basic working format could prepare the comparative information on the contenders for the Marine top post to be presented to all of us the Filipino Nation and to the NBC as TruBlue mentioned. I myself want to but my present situation does not permit me. Maybe I can provide some collaboration or certain help.

  45. Do you know why we have been colonized by spanish and americans,it is because of traitors,the first traitors are the pintados who attacked the capital of the kingdom of luzon which is manila.

    This time we need to stand as one against the traitors!

    Posted in another thread:

    Can’t the legally elected president’s role as commander-in-chief of the entire Armed Forces of the Philippines be stressed as ceremonial only to avoid having a hand in influencing the chain of command?

    Since the assumption to power of that woman, everything went down to drain, with it is our national pride.

    Tanong ni Ka enciong: “Sino ang mas magaling pagdating sa paggamit at paglagay ng tao: si Marcos o so GMA?”
    Basta’t ang alam ko walang tiwala si MArcos kay Ramos. Mas pinili pa niya si Ver na hindi PMA’er. Siguro alam niya ang kalukuhan nitong si Ramos na PMA’er at ang kanyang mga bataan (Ermita, Reyes …) na sa ngayon ay busy pa sa pangungulimbat. Etong mga General na nabanggit ay latak na lang ang mga iyan.

  48. Dorek Dorek

    Dapat isara na lang yang PMA na yan. Ginagawa lang training dogs ng mga politician. Kita niyo ngayon ang daming aso na trained sa PMA ang kasalukuyang nasa Gobyerno ngayon.

  49. Dorek Dorek

    Ka Enciong mas magaling maglagay ng aso si Glorya kaysa kay Marcos.

  50. Dorek, please don’t generalize. The PMA continues to imbue the cadets idealism, which hopefully, would guide them in their decisions when confronted with dilemmas in their work and personal life.

    Many have continued to hold on to those ideals. Many have jettisoned those ideals finding them too cumbersome. It’s not the fault of the institution. It’s the breakdown of leadeship. That’s Gloria Arroyo.

  51. Dorek Dorek

    Ellen, wala ka man lang kasing marinig sa mga matitinong PMA’er. Bingi at bulag ba sila? Kung kaya ng mga aso na PMA’er ni Glorya na magwala … tanong … Bakit wala man lang ni isa sa kanila na magsabi na ,, ooooops tama kana … sumusobra ka na?

    Hindi n’yo ba napapansin na ‘yung dating nasa matinong PSG ay hindi ibinabalik ni gloria? Col Gil Villa, Col Santi Baluyot and Col Ric Morales, to name a few. Salungat kasi sila sa katiwalian ni Mole-ni-liza.

    Where’s Gen Yano’s brother, Col Cesar Yano? Kung totoo ‘yung naging dahilan kaya maagang pinagretiro si Gen Yano, magpapalutang lutang itong si Cesar habang nasa malakanyang ang mga kawatan, hanggang siya ay mag-retire. Kawawang mama, pati ‘yung estrelyang kaytagal na niyang tinitingala ay malamang na hindi na mag-landing sa balikat, pero okey din ‘yan. However, time changes man, but let us hope for better not worse.

    Sana, huwag na nilang hintayin pang umabot sa kasukdulan ang pagsasamantala ng mga nasa poder. Kumilos na sila, ‘yung mga natitirang may pagpapahalaga sa kanilang tungkuling sinumpaan. Silang mga natitirang matitino at tahimik na lumalaban sa bulok na sistemang umiiral. Huwag na nilang hayaang tuluyang malugmok ang dignidad ng akademyang humubog sa kanilang pagiging makabayan, matatapat at walang pag-iimbot na tagapagtanggol ng ating lupang sinilangan, ang Pilipinas, Perlas ng Silanganan.

    Liway,

    Tingin ko ay hinihintay ng matitinong kasundaluhan ang kilos ng pinoy kung sakali at NOEL o martial law by 2010.

    Naghihintay rin ang mamamayan. Kaya dapat ay suportahan ng bawat isang pinoy ang INGAY na ginagagawa ng bawat isang presidentiable para ma-ignite ang higit na interes sa halalan. Madali na kung init na init na si Juan at Juana tapos ay entrada de pwersa para manakot itong apat na supot ni Nunalisa para isakatuparan ang Gloria forever nila.

    Although I believe that with Mike Arroyo at the helm of the movement to proloooong his wife’s illegal power, majority of the sundalos will be with the people when the right time comes. Kailan kaya…hope sooner.

  57. maydangalpa maydangalpa

    The Philippines today is worst than Myanmar. We are under a Military junta, masquerading as democartic government.
    This what I have been thinking of, past 15Months. Gloria will do whatever it takes to hang on to power, as power is what is keeping her and her family alive.
    The generals, especially those involved in her malpractices, and those in the current roster of active duty, have also been tainted with people’s money. hence, if they do not support gloria’s evil plan of hanging on to dear life, their lives as well would go down the drain.
    it’s like, gloria and mike telling all these generals:
    “I Go, You Go…..” go figure….

    how true maydangalpa,military rule naman talaga tayo,un presidente dummy lang,lahat ng retire general may pwesto kapalit, san ka ba nakakita ng bansa demokratico, heneral ang nasa lahat ng departamento, kahit di nya linia , andun siya..
    un bang sinasabi nila no politics in the arm forces…dapat ata ( start learning politics in the army)the corrupt side of it.nakaka lungkot isipin, pero hangan isip na lang…

    Pinasasagana sa pera at pwesto ni Gloria at Mike ang kanilang mga henerales, pinasasagana rin sila ng mga korap na henerales sa kapangyarihan!

    Yeah, we are worst than Myanmar. Dun ay meron sila na Aung San Suu Kyi, a true fighter for democracy. Sa Pinas, masyadong polarized ang mga political personalites na hindi natin sigurado kung sino ang tunay.

    Pati democracy sa Pinas ay peke!

  60. Those who entered PMA and until they graduate are full of hope and idealism. Later, many get eaten by the poor and corrupt system of the military establishment.

  61. Balweg Balweg

    Dream team ha…tingnan natin sa 2010, itaga nýo sa bato folks before December of this month e ang mga hunyango e magpapalit na yan ng kulay upang maglipat-bakod.

    Yang mga protector ng rehimeng Arroyo e may pagkakalagyan ang mga iyan. Wait and see, baka tayo malingat e maisahan na naman tayo.

    Remember nýo pa ba ng manumpa si GMA last 2004…MADALING ARAW folks, natutulog pa ang mga Pinoy. Nagsisipagmadali baka magising ang taong-bayan e mapurnada pa?

    Batayan nating mabuti yang Dream Team ni GMA sapagka’t nadenggoy na tayo NOT ONCE, but TWICE baka naman mapangatluhan pa tayo nito.

    Nagkalat ang kanyang mga trojan horse (retired Generals) sa halos lahat ng ahensiya ng gobyerno. Wag tayong pakasiguro sapagka’t iba nang usapan ito.

  62. Can anyone tell me why this Villafuerte who first pushed for Cha-Cha now decides to withdraw his support and is challenging its proponents? Why the sudden turnaround?

  63. ron ron

    I agree, bitchevil they are full of hopes and idealism, iilan lang silang di nagpapadala sa bulok ng sistema ng military, I have an uncle, nephew and few friends who came from PMA, minsan nadedemoralize sila sa mga naririnig at nababasa nila about their superiors sa AFP. Marami kasing gusto mapadali ang promotion kaya kapit sa patalim.

    chi, ala na talagang demokrasya dito habang si Gloria ang nakaupo.

  64. Balweg Balweg

    Exactly BE, ang masakit damhin e pera ng taong-bayan ang ginagastus ng mga PMAers na yan…hay naku, pagkatapos maka-graduate e heto walang mga utang na loob. Karamihan sa kanila e pahirap sa bayan, sa halip na maging protektor ng Kapayapaan at Katotohanan e sila pa ang promotor sa pagpapahirap sa tayong-bayan.

    Wala namang namimilit sa kanilang pasukin ang Sandatahang Lakas except their parents or else dreams nila ito, so dapat maging tapat sila sa tungkulin na kanilang sinumpaan.

    Kung magkakaroon tayo ng lifestyle check sa lahat ng mga graduates sa PMA either nasa active service pa o retirado na, sigurado malalaman natin sa kanilang pamumuhay.

    Di maikakaila na magkano lang ba ang sweldo ng mga iyan, at isama na natin yong mga nanunungkulang pulitiko…akala mo sa kanila ang Pinas?

    Yan ang bunga ng ating pagkakawatak-watak na Kapinuyan…kaya namamayagpag ang mga traidor na yan e kaya nilang takutin o busalan ang taong-bayan.

    Kita nýo naman pagkumontra ka e maidadagdag ka sa bilang ng extrajudicial killings o kaya maghihimas ka ng rehas na bakal at posibleng maging miembro ka ng No Permanent Address.

    Kung dedma lang sa mga nangyayari sa paligid e hayon mag enjoy nalang sa pagpepekwa at iba pa.

  65. A fresh PMA graduate usually is assigned a more difficult and dangerous job if he has no connection. Those with connection are given better assignments. From Lieutenant to Major or Lt. Col., the promotion is based on the years they serve. But higher than that, one needs to have a political or Malacanang padrino. Sad but true…

  66. ron ron

    Bitchevil, sa probinsya namin, pag mag apply ka ng walang endorsement kahit sinong politiko, di ka matatanggap kahit qualified ka sa post. parang ganyan ang nangyayari sa military ngayon, pag di ka bata ni Gloria, ala kang promotion!

  67. ron,
    pati promosyon sa military at police for sale na rin. Tanungin ninyo yung mga bloggers natin na nasa active duty. Magaling naman silang mag-alaga. Pagandahan ng bahay, paramihan ng kotse. Ang mga anak, nagtitiyaga na lang sa Ateneo at La Salle. Pag babae sa Assumption, St. Scho, o Miriam. Pag nagretiro, may pabaon ka pa, Euro at Dollars siyempre. At ang pinakamasarap sa lahat, hindi ka makukulong dahil hindi ka naman kakasuhan, sa halip, magiging department Sec o Usec ka pa.

    Sarap maging PMA, diba?

    Kaya bang itigil lahat ng iyan nina Col. Querubin at Gen. Lim?

    Sana.

  68. Pwede bang pag pinindot ko iyung Ctrl+Alt+Del ng sabay e magbabago na ng gobyerno? Iyan ang aking dream.

    Napakaraming grupong anti- kung anu-ano. May anti-corruption, anti-money-laundering, anti-trapo, anti-drug, anti-gambling, anti-political dynasty, anti-etc.

    Walang mangyayari kung puro lang ANTAY, kailangan kumilos! Ngayon!

  69. It’s not only PMAers who are enjoying their lives with good connections. Even enlisted men as low as Sergeants now own luxury cars.

  70. Jose Jose

    One of the benefits of a Medal of Valor awardee is free education for the dependents in any private or public school from pre-school to post graduate.

    So mga anak ng Medal of Valor awardee na si Col Querubin ay pwede mag-aral sa Ateneo, La Salle, Assumption or Miriam kasi libre.

    Si Gen Lim ay isa lang ang anak.

  74. Enciong Enciong

    Rose,

    Dapat sana ganuon. But it looks like it will not happen. Kasi mukhang nabura na yung AWOL case ni Martir as evidenced by his being promoted to Colonel then 1-star and now 2-star.

    That means na sumweldo na siya during his illegal absence enjoying his stay in the US for more than a year, pag retire niya, counted pa yun sa years of service niya.

    Doble-doble and kubra ni Commandant Martir!

  75. BALUGANGGALA BALUGANGGALA

    Ms.Ellen, what ever those outstanding academic credentials this Teodoro may have, well siya mismo ang nagbasura no’n. Para sa akin bubo pala siya. O kaya naman sinisikmura nya si gloria para maatim lang ang kanyang ambisyong pumasok sa politika. Kaya lang sa tingin ko with heartfelt conviction ang attachment nya kay gloria kasi po during the face off ng mga presidentiables sa Ateneo last week, ay napansin ko na napikon sya sa tanong na “WILL YOU SUPPRT AN INVESTIGATION OF THE ARROYO FAMILY FOR CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS?” Replay nyo at obserbahan.

  76. Rose Rose

    Ka Enciong: nabubura pala ang mga records na ganyan pag napromote..parang nanalo siya sa Lotto..lutong luto ang kanyang promotion.

    Rose, those days Martir went on AWOL werealready credited as merits speeding up his non-stop promotions and now, almost at hand appointment as Marine Commandant and by the intervention of the devil, he may eventually be CS,AFP.

    Bro, sana po maibasura na ang bank secrecy law para mabuksan naman at malaman ang mga tagong pera sa bangko ng mga yes-mam generals at malaman ng tao na malayo sa declered SAL nila ang tunay nilang katayuan sa buhay.

    Bro, sana rin po maging masipag na ang opisina ng Ombudsman, ng Solicitor-General at ng Presidential Anti-Corruption Task Force para matukoy ang mga tagong yaman at ari-arian ng mga yes-mam generals.

    Bro, sana rin po mabigyan naman ng patas na laban ang mga govt career executives at diplomats na maupo sa mga ahensiya ng gobyerno kesa sa mga yes-mam generals na halos sa lahat ng tanggapan ng gobyerno ay mistulang amo sa kabila ng kakulangan sa experience at walng suporta ng mga kawani ng mga nasabing ahensiya.

    Bro, sana naman ang mga yes-mam generals ay marunong ding mabusog sa posisyon at kapangyarihan para di na sila maihalintulad sa mga trapos na karamihan ay buwaya.

    Bro, sana naman po pakinggan nyo naman ang simpleng kahilingan ko para mabago naman ang sistema ng pamamahala sa bansa ni santino at maiayos na din ang antas ng pamumuhay sa bayan pa rin ni santino.

    Bro, sana sa atin lang po ang usapan natin kasi po pag nakarating sa mga yes-mam generals baka malintikan po ako.

    Thank you Bro, ang bait bait nyo po at alam ko na bibigyan nyo ng liwanag at pagkakataon ang mga yes-mam generals na magkaroon ng kaliwanagan ang kanilang isipan at tunay na maramdaman ang hinaing ng bawat juan dela cruz.

    Rose,

    Normally, AWOL records are permanent. However for gods like Martir and his ilk… what are they in power for??!

    So Martir get to commute this “unspent leave” before he retires (meaning, he gets cold cash as in money, money, money! bilang kabayaran for this “unspent leave”), Moreover, this 477 AWOL days are counted into his monthly pension (we and our children, the taxpayers, will shoulder this pension) until he dies. Nice icing on his cake!

  89. ellen,

    I still can’t believe that an officer who went AWOL for 477 days, who falsified documents, was clearly lying about this AWOL business was reintegrated with nary a slap on the wrist and was promoted back to back to boot.

    Just absolutely gobsmacking.

    Again, are we sure he wasn’t on a “mission” for Gloria and her Pidal husband in the US, hence, the need for “secrecy” and all the shenanigans? That’s why the reintegration without backlash?

    Anyway, whatever it is, someone in the DND had better explain why a senior military officer had disappeared then was welcomed back to service like a conquering and victorious hero without any satisfactory explanation even if only for appearance sake.

    To me, unless there is a legal justification for his absence, the man should be summarily discharged, not promoted!!!

  90. gurong pinay gurong pinay

    Martir.. CS? my god.. what is the world coming to? PMA graduates who still believe in the honor code.. what do you say? a CS who violated all the tenets of the honor code.. remember…. no one should tolerate anyone who violates the honor code.otherwise he who tolerates is as guilty as the culprit. WAKE UP… THIS IS THE TIME TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED…

  91. Re: Esperon as defense secretary.

    This is the height of insult to the Filipino people.

    Defence secretary?

    Nobody in his right mind, but nobody, should accept the designation of a man who has never defended the Republic to become its defence chief (and who, instead of defending the Republic against its enemies, perceived and real, was quick to do a sellout of parts of the Republic to the Malaysians).

    Calling the good and morally courageous officers and men of the AFP!!!

    At best, he should be officially designated the official bodyguard of Pandak but the nation’s defence chief? This is an insult to all men and women of the Philippines.

  92. Re AWOL

    Unless military topside could come up with a satisfactory (never mind if it’s not convincing) explanation as to why Martir was given no reprimand and instead promoted, officers and men of the AFP, including the general public should support LT Gadian’s AWOL.

    Also, part of the deal for her to go back to unit msut be that she gets promoted to rank of Commander or 2 ranks up, just like what Martir got and with the promise that she will one day be promoted to Captain with a view to beoming Commodore! (After all, bastusan na talaga naman sa AFP, so why not?)

This is an Open letter to MGEN JONATHAN MARTIR; Attention: Filipino Soldiers. I can provide the citations or references if requested.

  96. josé miguel josé miguel

    WHAT IS THE COST, SIR?

    Congratulations MGen Jonathan Martir, Sir, on your recent promotion from Colonel to Brigadier General to Major General at such a phenomenal speed!

    In congress, attempts to present legal evidences which could have proved legally the initial report that the Armed Forces of the Philippines was used in the tampering of the 2004 election results by GMA have been suppressed. By the sheer number of congressmen allies of GMA against the presentation of evidences, they have not even been presented at all. If evidences were suppressed, does this mean that the initial report regarding the Filipino soldiers having been used in the tampering of election results by GMA, is not true?

    Members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines were prevented by GMA to testify before the senate inquiry on the initial report. Is this not again, suppression of evidences? Again, does this mean that the initial report that the Armed Forces of the Philippines was used in the tampering of election results by GMA, is not true?

    The Mayuga Report on the circumstances surrounding incident in the military several years back in the Philippines which would determine the guilt or innocence of those Filipino soldiers among us as prisoners, was never released. Is this not again, suppression of evidences? Does this mean then, that the charges of the GMA government against the Filipino soldiers among us in prison, have basis?

    Then, why arbitrarily but systematically suppress? With no credible answer available, this suppression of legal evidences to legally prove the initial report, is a validation of that report that the Armed forces of the Philippines was indeed used in the tampering of the 2004 election results by GMA.

    WHAT IS THE COST TO YOU, SIR?

    Are the comforts of home, family, promotion and position, the cost of loyalty to: GMA; the tampering of our election; the suppression of its investigation; and the suppression of attempts of the people to peacefully assemble to protest against this suppression of investigation? Is this the cost of loyalty to the suppression of evidences supporting the charges of involvement of GMA in the stealing of our money from the funds for the farm fertilizer and the national broadband transaction with the Chinese?

    WHAT IS THE COST TO GMA AND ALLIES, SIR?

    This suppression of evidences by GMA allies may have provided them some additional space for legitimacy evasion. Meanwhile, they could consolidate once again their resources and concoct some new constitutional tricks to reestablish their political ground.

  97. josé miguel josé miguel

    WHAT IS THE COST TO US FILIPINOS, SIR?

    GMA is just one of the corrupted cells that grew out of our corrupted development in history. This has something to do with our nation having been systematically corrupted by that American invasion, control and consolidation in the 1900s, caused the dropping of our Malolos Constitution and institutionalized for replication, that invasion to the present time. But that would already be on the issue of the underlying cause of our present problem. Let us momentarily focus on the present symptom which is as it is, is already unbearable for millions of us Filipinos.

    As cost of real estate properties rise due to it’s inherent development dynamics, so is the cost of GMA and this tampering of election results. This is the further corruption of our institutions. Corruption in any form becomes a seed, the cost of which, rises as it develops into a more complex unit of life. The different systems within it, naturally becomes also corrupted.

    We are now reaping the cost of GMA and the corruption of election. It has bred development of more corruption. As they developed, the cost has increased:

    + 27,600,000 million is the number of us Filipinos in 2006 which increased by 2.9% from 2003, who could not afford to sustain ourselves with minimum basic needs for food, health,education and shelter.

    + Our towns were buried in mud, tens of thousands among us were left homeless, or some 1,500 of us either died or were left missing by the flood that hit Aurora and neighboring provinces. These were caused by Chinese families allowed by the GMA government to continue logging.

    + Small retailers in Clark Pampanga were displaced not by a fellow Filipino businessman among us, but a Chinese whose SM company was allowed by the GMA government to operate in the area.

    + A Filipina among us was raped and the American marine who has been convicted of rape is now nowhere to be found in any Philippine jail- a continuing of GMA of the historical status of the criminal cases the American soldiers have committed against us but have never been jailed.

    As the increase of cost, we Filipinos have been paying because of those seeds- GMA and corruption of election, many of us who could no longer bear it, as naturally as in immune cells, had to resist that corruption of our national body. This latter stages of development of those seeds which developed earlier into more complex units of corrupted national life, led to further rise of the cost. This is the latter stage of that rise in cost:

    + 800 of us Filipino journalists, students or ordinary folks who were guilty or were suspected of having defended in our own way, human rights abuses and a fertilizer scam witness against the GMA government have been killed since 2001 as of today.

    + Many of the soldiers among us Filipinos- your fellow soldiers and comrades, have paid a high cost in Mindanao protecting us brother Filipinos against ruthless terrorists. The families of the soldiers among us, also had to bear the cost. This time, these same soldiers among us had to respond to the call of the most basic of duty- to protect our helpless civilian brothers who are human rights defenders and corruption witnesses against the GMA government, and who are to become also the next victims of the pattern of systematic killings under the said government. This time, the soldiers among us, had to be in communion with the defenseless millions of us Filipinos mentioned even earlier, whose very lives have been threatened by poverty resulted from corruption. As a consequence of that communion with the millions of us helpless Filipinos, the soldiers among us, your fellow soldiers and comrades are now in prison. Your brother soldiers among us Filipinos have been charged with whatever phrases, words, letter and characters the GMA government could pick-up from whatever pages they could find in law books that would benefit GMA. In prison, soldiers among us, your brother soldiers your comrades, have lost physical freedom, professional opportunities, and career growth. Soldiers among us, in prison, suffered health breakdown and economic breakdown. The families of your brother soldiers among us have also suffered.

    + Need I still include the latest cost among us, Jun Lozada? He was jailed for having refused to deny that he was kidnapped by the GMA government agents to prevent him from testifying before an investigation on the GMA involvement in the $330 Million dollar corrupted deal with the Chinese in providing for the broadband network for the Philippines which could give the Chinese access to our information and communication? The very ethical values of his children among us, is now in danger of being eroded.

  98. josé miguel josé miguel

    ARE THESE WHAT HAVE BEEN INSTITUTIONALIZED?

    Are we supposed to accept this as the due process? Is it because it has passed technically the constitutional process that made it acceptable inspite of the truth having been suppressed? So it is then that suppression of the truth has now become acceptable in this country because it has passed the legal requirements? Is it also because it has already been the prevailing practice in our country? Is it because those who are in power even if they suppress evidences, in this country should be allowed to do so because they are in power at present? Is this what many of the government officials call institution? Is this the letter of the constitution?

    HOWEVER, IS THIS THE SPIRIT OF OUR ORIGINAL AND ORGANIC CONSTITUTION?

    A constitution is supposed to be a framework on which a society can function efficiently in maintaining it’s national life. However, in a society where primal ethical values have been lost, laws become arbitrary set of elaborate abstract guidelines for the good but powerless to follow the will of the bad but powerful. We can study properly our history. Then we can appreciate the difference between a constitution framed under a natural condition of free, healthy and sovereign nation to benefit that nation and, a constitution framed under an artificial condition of controlled, injured and denationalized people to benefit the hidden controlling group. Where confusion or contradictions arise, the bad but powerful, produces an arbitrary interpretation of, or compliance to, the letter of the constitution. The constitution has become a legitimacy tool of the bad but powerful to maintain control over the good but powerless. The good but powerless could eventually be led to believe that bad if powerful must indeed be good after all.

    Where is honor, Sir? What is the cost, Sir?

    Leave records of Martir were not changed.

    Rose – May 19, 2009 7:50 am

    yon bang 405 days of Absence With out Leave ni Martir ay ibabawas sa kanyang years of service when he retires?

    Correction: Leave records of Martir were not changed.

    Should be: Leave records of Martir was changed or edited. In 2006, his approved vacation leave was only 60 days but in 2008, it was already 90 days. But he left the Phil on July 16, 1998 and came back on January 4, 2000 total of 537 days out of the country.

    If you deduct the 90 days leave, still it is not enough to cover the 537 days absence, even if we deduct all the Saturdays and Sundays and holidays.

    And the whole time he was out of the country, he was receiving remunerations from the AFP.
    The 477 days of AWOL,

  101. Rose Rose

    Defense Secretary? hindi kaya ang ibig sabihin ay The Fence Secretary? bakuran niya ng fence na mga henrals? Ang kay Imelda ang kanta niya ay “Don’t Fence me in” ang kay putot naman “Oh Fence me In”..OH yes great prntender we will surely pinch you in..just you wait and see!

  102. Jose Jose

    So when he retires, he will get paid based on the Total Leave Balance.

    He was also earning vacation and sick leave credits when he was AWOL.

    Only in the AFP of GMA can these things happen and be tolerated….

    yung para kay yes-man general ass ay nakuha lamang niya matapos ang ilang buwan matapos maisakatuparan ang matagumpay na isang malaking panlilinlang-ang malawakang at organisadong pandaraya…dun pa lang tumibay ang loyalty ni yes-man general matapos matanggap niya ang milyon-milyong???? salapi na hinatid pa ng dalawang aide niya…yun ang umpisa ng pagkakamali na sinundan pa ng isang pagkakamali at hanggang ngayon ay tuluyan ng nabulag at niyakap na ang pagiging sunod-sunuran kay yes mam yes mam

    sana nga magsipag naman ang solicitor-gen, ang patas at mapagkakatiwalaan nating ombudsman, at ang sobrang busy na presidential task force on corruption…na masilip lamang ang dami ng salapi, ari-arian at tagong kayamanan ng mga yes-mam generals.

    Na obervajan ko na kahit alam na nang marami sa atin Filipinos kung paano tayo sinasampal nang pera, dinuduraan nang laway na may kasamang cash at linulublob sa inodoro na may mga salapi pagkatapos tayo ginamit bilang mga puta, pagkatapos tayo tinurukan nang droga, hindi tayo lumlaban. Pinagtatangol pa natin iyong gumaua sa atin nito!

    Mukang nawala natayo nang self respect. Kahit pinatay ang ating mga elder brothers, magulang at kaibigan, pinagtatangol pa rin natin ang perpetrators of the crimes.

    Sa tingin ko, hindi na oobra sa marami sa atin ang pag sumbong nang mga pagnakao.

    Kaya ipa alam natin sa marami sa atin Filipinos na mayron tayo original na identidad na rinespeto noon nang mundo. May ron naman talaga. Paalam natin sa marami sa atin Filipinos na hindi ang present ang standard nang respectability natin mga Filipinos. Hindi na wala tayo at kailangan natin mag invento o kaya gayajin mga Americanos para na kung gano tayo kalapit sa kanila ay ganon ka taas ang atin self esteem. Pero hindi naman tayo Americanos kaya we will always be frustrated in aping them. How can we ape people who invaded us in 1899 when we were already independent from Spain in 1898!

    No, mga kapatid na Filipinos! Kailangan lang natin i recover what has been taken away from us. Ano iyon?

    Our Malolos Constitution, Our Academia Militar, Our original defense system conceived by Gen Antonio Luna. Our Filipino Identity and culture.

    Ano ba mali doon na hindi pinag patuloy? Dahil pinalitan nang mga Americanos at tinurok sa atin ugat ang kanilan legislative, judiciary, educational, economic at defense system. Iyon lang. Tignan natin sa atin historia kung we really found defects in those system mentioned that was why it was not revived.

    iwatcher at lahat tayo mga Filipinos, mayron tayo dahilan para mabuhay at hindi lang gamitan itong Filipinas para sa sarili at pera. Tayo ay may familia dito sa Filipinas. Tayo ay may kamaganak dito. Tayo lahat ay naging Filipinos dahil sa dugo ni Bonifacio, Ricarte, Luna, Tinio, Alejandrino, Sakay at yung mga nauna nang lumaban sa mga invaders na Americanos at kanilang mga traidor na collaborators. Ipag patuloy natin ang kanilang laban nayon contra sa mga American invaders, Chinese invaders of our economy and their traidor na collaborator na si GMA!

    Ipagpatuloy natin hangang mabawi natin ang atin tunay na bayan at mauwian na rin natin!

    True Blue – You sent an article to NBC about Ellens blog? Did you know that NBC is going bankrupt and no one see their show anymore. MSNBC/Keith O their show is not balanced, questionable reporting. And how can they read “nangigilabutan” o kaya “nakakadirikumainngbalut”. I thought you are against contacting American Media like what we did with the hidden wealth of Marcos. Did you read what Fr. Nori said about you and BE? Fr. Nori is a man of faith and GOD so he is right in his analysis.

  109. josé miguel josé miguel

    TrueBlue, we and all those who may have some information, they be direct, interviews, news clippings, verifiable information and from sources from our brother marines re: combat accomplishments from 2LT to present of the contenders to the commandant post can try at PCIJ, Newsbreak, Vera Files, Inquirer, Ricky Carandang, ABS CBN, Antonio Abaya and other independent media who have investigative journalism capability.

  110. josé miguel josé miguel

    I forgot to mention one of the most independent media- Malaya.

    The crazy rattlesnake got loose again. But I’ll be happy to take you to the right path my friend. You said the following:

    True Blue – You sent an article to NBC about Ellens blog? Did you know that NBC is going bankrupt and no one see their show anymore. MSNBC/Keith O their show is not balanced, questionable reporting. And how can they read “nangigilabutan” o kaya “nakakadirikumainngbalut”.

    – no, I didn’t know NBC is tanking down. Brian Williams and the rests at NBC and MSNBC are jolly as can be. FOX’s Sean “Coward” Hannity cowardly backed out to be waterboarded as he gloated in FIX News, oh that’s Fox News.

    I thought you are against contacting American Media like what we did with the hidden wealth of Marcos.

    – quote me where I said I was against contacting American Media.

    Did you read what Fr. Nori said about you and BE? Fr. Nori is a man of faith and GOD so he is right in his analysis.

    – I don’t know who Father Nori is and I didn’t have anything to do with him. How on earth was I involved? Again, quote me what Father Nori said about me and what I said to him.

    Look, I’m not gonna say you’re an empty bullet – but you’re getting there.

  113. TruBlue TruBlue

    Jose Miguel – when it comes to that, I’m sure Ellen will provide all the information the News Network what it requires, or I’m asked, I’ll certainly mention all credible news outlets necessary.

    I’ll be really disappointed if MSNBC won’t do this segment. To me, it’s so worthwhile.

    Cheers and goodluck to and your unit.

  114. dandaw dandaw

    TB. Are you God, why will you take me to the right path? Look who’s talking. You call me a rattle snake? You sure sounds like an Annaconda.

  115. TruBlue TruBlue

    Annacondas devour rattlesnakes or any snakes for that matter.

    I’m about to turn atheist coz of your righeousness!

    Why won’t you have the decency to respond to above questions. You spew fake venoms most of the time which you can’t prove.

    And if you’re a true christian, does calling Obama with a black heart, black lips, and a socialist bankcrupting his government the right thing to say? You’re such a hypocrite! Oh by the way, are you collecting social security??? Make sure you return that social security money as it’s tied up to SOCIALISM!

    I’m still waiting for your “powerful group” to come down and remove Gluerilla from power, or at least for decency’s sake, let me know what your plans are. Maybe I can help.

  116. dandaw dandaw

    TB- go to Glennbeck or gretawire and you will be devoured by Annacondas and rattle snakes in there. I paid for my sss long time ago besides I can live without it. All I do with it is give some to Charities. What about you. Work for BO? Good luck. You got to be a deranged person to think that for a person that does not believe in BO will have to return his/her social security. After being in office for 50 days everybody that do not believe in BO should return their social security. Sorry to say your new found Messiah can not do dudly squat. What is the true color of BO’s lips, RED? That is probably the reason why he run this country like a Communist country. I have news for you, your BO is not only stupid, he is a joke, a wishy washy. What did he do in 50 days? Show the pictures about water boarding, close Gitmo, Fire the CEO of GM, bail out GM, AIG, the Banks, is he going to run car companies, banks too? ya all of this did’nt do anything but add more to the unemployment. Companies are moving out of the country because they are afraid of the labor union which BO is protecting because the unions are responsible for electing him President. I think BO learned a lot from Filipino politicians. Promise them heaven and earth. Ya, BO is a good speaker but without a telepromter, he can not say a word. I think BO should be water boarded or inject him with truth serum so he will show his real birth certificate. One thing too, he applied for a Foreign Student loan while in Occidental College. To avail oneself with a Foreign Student loan you have to be borned a foreigner. There’s your answer TB.

  117. Trublue Trublue

    Obama knows his left hand and his right hand. No one will throw their shows at him but he might be assassinated by your good friends, the KKK, the Order, and the White Supremos. Are you a member yet? Or with your dark skin, will they might shoo you out? As I’ve said, they might hang you first as their “too good to be true” christian faith is nothing but racist who would rather exterminate the Jews, blacks, Asians, gays/lesbians.

    Socialism is Social Security! Don’t give it to charities in the US, give it to the poor in the Philippines – am sure we’ll feed thousands with your help.

    Regardless of your so negative remark about Obama, if he ever had a student, he rose from humble and poor beginnings who became a symbol to all the minorities of the world. And you can CRY all you for being so bitter about his citizenship. You’re such a loser and hypocrite to the hilt.

    You’re a snake for tying me up to an issue I was not a part of. Where’s the quote I made about Father Nori?

    You’re not paying attention to my posts! I’m unemployed the last five years and free to go anywhere as I please, so don’t worry about that part.

    Glennbeck and Greta are transvestites. I’ll watch Hannity if he agrees to be waterboarded which he proclaimed he will.

    How’s the “powerful group” doing? Keep me updated, it’s fun to keep abreast of your secret society.

  118. dandaw dandaw

    TB, You are unemployed or unemployable. So you can go anywhere. You sound like an assasin. You are so misinformed about Obama. He is nothing but a gangster from Chicago. He did’nt come from humble begginings. He was born in Mambossa, Kenya, was later adopted by his uncle and was educated in Indonesia in a Madrasa school learning Shirea Law. That’s why the first thing he did when he won he called Al Arabia news network. You have not told me what he has done so far in his 100 days in office. Really, he should be water boarded or be injected with truth serum along with Nancy Pelosi. For sure you can not be as powerful as you said you are. You sound like an ex “rotten politician” To you people that are conservative and honest are transvestites, Christians are hypocrit. To tell you the truth, you are a poor excuse for a human being. Relax Mr. True Blue Pinoy, you can not get ahead by being so bitter.

  119. TruBlue TruBlue

    Your version of Obama is that of the Christian or Religious Right. It seems you are really tanked down to their ways of thinking, too much Rash “Drug Addict” Limbo.

    You seemed to have forgotten that video of George W Bush holding hands (tight grips) with the King of Saudi Arabia which was seen around the world, and Bush 41 gleefully chumming with the same Saudi Arabian royalties during his term.

    Before Obama took over, Bush 43 authorized Treasury Secretary Paulson to disburse the $700 billion stimulus approved by congress. That’s what Obama and his posse of intellectuals are now doing – to undo the grave errors of the past administration and improve the lives of the majority of the american people, even a much much bitter person like you.

    If you think waterboarding is not torture, would you agree to be waterboarded by me? I’ll do it in a heartbeat! The former Governor of Minnesota Jessie Ventura (former Navy Seal) called Dick Cheney a coward two weeks for mouthing off about torture, and again let me remind you Dick Cheney had FIVE Deferments in his resume. It’s for this reason, he can’t run for president. This will be a dagger in his chest.

    Look at yourself in the mirror, you denigrade the POTUS coz of his blackness yet you call yourself christian and human being, you must be reading the wrong bible.

    I chose not to work and if I was unemployable, would be enjoying the fruits of SOCIALISM, ssn. Like what I’ve said, I’m twice retired so just relax and do not turn around the BITTERNESS part, it’s you who is so bitter about Obama’s ascension to the US Presidency. Get over it, you’ll become a better person. He may have a black mind, blackheart, black lips but he is a much, much better human being than you!!!

    Too many times, you kept saying Mambossa Kenya. It’s Mombasa Kenya, even Sarah Palin knows that.

    Hah! where did I say I was powerful? Coming from your virtueless mind again? You are the powerful one and your group. Wish I can join in your powerful chamber, is there a fee?

    kaibigang true blue and kaibigang dandaw…

    sana tigilan na ninyo ang batuhan at patutsadahan, wala namang pupuntahan ang usapan niyo at di kabahagi ng topic gaya ng nakasulat sa itaas…imbes na magpagalingan kayo ng pananaw kung sino ang tama sa usaping inyong pinagtatalunan ay harapin na lamang natin ang solusyon sa mga problemang kinakaharap ng bansa natin…

    america na yan at si obama ay naging pangulo na ayon sa kagustuhan ng mayorya, masyadong maiksi ang panahon kung huhusgahan natin ang kakayahan niya pero itong si gloria 8 taon na sa puwesto at sangkatutak na ang ginawang kabalbalan na nagiging pahirap sa sambayanan…siguro ito ang dapat nating pagtuunan ng pansin…

    we need to unite to dispose this evil regime and inform the public the out-of-this world propaganda and economic achievement kuno of gloria etal na lagi nilang pinagsisigawan.

    siguro pagkatapos ng unang termino ni obama at palaring lumusot saka natin pag-usapan at maging ako at maraming bloggers sa ellenville ay makikilahok pero sa ngayon si gloria muna at ang kalagayan ng bansa natin ang ating pagusapan.

    mabuhay kayo and mas kailangan kayo ng masa na nagkakaisa at nagkakasundo…

  121. josé miguel josé miguel

    tama iwatcher, matagal na ako nag hihintay dito kung ano macontribute o macoordinate natin with one another.

    Ang na observe ko ay marami sa Filipino hindi nag rerespond sa mga reports o expose nang pinagnanakao ni GMA kung ang victima ay hindi malang sarili. Magreact lang yan kung sarili o familia na ang natamaan. Bakit?

    Yang ang reaction nang mga tao na hindi naidentify ang sarili sa bansa o nation. Yan ang kaso nang Filipinas. We have regressed from a nation to individuals. There are psychological cases as some in schizoprenia in which it was immediately caused by breakdown of ego or something to that effect. Mas ma explica ito mabuti at with broader understanding nang psychologists. Ang akin punto ay ang psicologia ay mas basic level nang sociologia. Kaya kung puede mangyari sa level nang psicologia, puede din mangyari sa level nang sociologia.

    Ang isang proven na solusion doon sa akin sinabi na caso na psicologia ay pag pa aware sa paciente nang kanyang pinangalingan na womb– fetal stage awareness. Ganito din ang solucion na akin tinutumbok at the social level.

    1) Let us all Filipinos be aware of our origin AS A NATION, not just as individuals. Read Autobiography of a Schizophrenic Girl by Marguerite Schehaye. This Psychologist Schehaye who treated the girl successfully received and award.

    Complicado? Puede ba magamot ang malalim na sakit nang isang simple na method? Ito ay kailangan balikan ang causes and underlying cause nito. We have been inffected by an Alienated Identity and Defense Syndrome. Ito yun sinabi ko na hindi na natin dinedefensa ang atin bansa fuera kung sarili ang tinamaan.

    2)Another point ay kailangan mayron tayo inasamasam o aspiration. Pag ang tao ay may aspiration, tataya niya lahat matangal lahat na hadlang sa kanya aspiration.

    Mayron tayo niyan. Hindi natayo kailangan mag formulate o mag survey o worse, mangaya sa maga style nang atin tinitingala na marami pera kagaya nag mga Chinos o Americanos. Mayron tayo sariling republica, constitution–Malolos Constitution, defense system, cultura at identidad. Ito ang nagpapainlove sa isang tao sa kanyang bansa. Kaya tinangal ito nang mga American invaders of 1899 para mawala ang ating pagibig sa isang bansa na na denationalized at mawala an rin ang ating resistance to the American Heredity Injuring Virus.

    Iyan ang atin kailangan a Filipino National image which did exist, so precious an image, we want to recover it.

  122. josé miguel josé miguel

    Let us all unite hind kapagaral, educado, mayaman, mahirap, babae, lalaki, matanda, bata, sundalo o civilian, leftist orientation, rightist orientation o centrist at marami pang clase. If we do not, we can only be a social class, o gender group, a professional group o religious group struggling to eliminate each other. We can only fear each other but never love. Then, we can never be a nation. Then we can never resist the alien and his collaborators controlling our country. Then we can never come to our long lost home.

  123. iwatcher2010 iwatcher2010

    kaibigang jose miguel…hindi natin kailangan umasa sa mga pinuno at lider natin sa kasalukuyan, maging sa oposisyon man

    ang kailangan natin ay kusang pagkilos, sama-samang paggawa ng mga bagay at paraan upang maiparating natin sa rehimen na ang boses ng sambayanan ay higit na makapangyarihan.

    lahat tayo maging lider sa sarili natin at sama-samang itaguyod ang pagkakaisa sa simulain…ano ba ang simulain na dapat ipaglaban ng masa?

    simulan natin na magkaroon ng sapat na boses at tumutol sa anumang pagmamalabis ng makapangyarihan, ang shooting incident sa paranaque kung saan namatay ang walang kamalay-malay na mag-ama ay isang halimbawa ng kalabisan ng kapulisan…pero anong ginawa ng pilipino? wala hanggang maglaho ang isang seryosong usapin. na dapat sana nagkaisa tayo at nagpakita ng galit sa mga kapulisan o lokal na pamahalaan sa kanilang maling pamamaraan…pero nakikinig at nanonood lang tayo sa kapighatian ng ating kapwa pilipino.

    ang usapin ng digmaan at lumalalang kaguluhan sa mindanao dulot ng naunsiyaming BMJE na kasalanan ng rehimeng ito na kung saan maraming buhay ang nasawi, maraming ari-arian ang nasira at maraming nailikas na mga simpleng pilipino…pero ano ang ginawa natin? nanonood lamang at nakikinig ng kaganapan sa halip na humingi ng kasagutan sa kagaguhan ni esperon at ni gloria…hanggang naglaho na naman ang isyu

    ang usapin sa malawak at lantarang katiwalian na kung saan bilyong-bilyong piso ang nawawala at ninanakaw ng mga abusadong pinuno at pulitiko…maraming lumalaban pero walang suporta sa ating kaya mas garapal na sila sa panggagago kasi puro ingay lang tayo at patama pero walang nagkakaisang kilos upang ipamukha ang kanilang kagaguhan na ang biktima ay ang pobreng juan dela cruz.

    ang usapin sa junket state visit at las vegas trip ng mga lider at politicos na dapat sanay binabatikos natin at pilit na hinahanap ang kasagutan sa lahat ng karangyaan nila sa kabila ng paghihirap ng masang pilipino…anong ginagawa natin/ nanonood at nakikinig at kung minsan ay padaplis daplis lang ng aksiyon pero wala pa rin ang nagkakaisang pagkilos.

    hindi biro ang mga kaganapan sa ating bansa at lantaran ang pang-aabuso ng may kapangyarihan pero para tayong naghihintay na lamang kung ano ang susunod nilang kagaguhan at pasakit sa bayan…

    sama-samang pagkilos at pagkakaisa upang ipamukha sa gobyernong ito na ang masa ang higit na makapangyarihan kesa sa kanilang mga huwad na posisyon…ang tanong hanggang kailan tayo magtitimpi, manonood at makikinig na lamang sa mga kaganapan….

    ikaw, ako tayo ay dapat kumilos at maging lider sa sarili nating kakayahan..walang malaking personalidad, walang oposisyon o hunyangong pulitiko kung hindi ang pagkakaisa at sama-sama nating pagtutol sa anumang kabuktutan ng gobyerno ni gloria.

    isang taon pa mula ngayon ang ipaghihintay natin? eh ngayon pa lamang ay sinisimot na nila ang kaban ng bayan…nakaw dito at nakaw doon, pero wala pa rin tayong ginagawa at patuloy na nagtitiis sa aba nating kalagayan na bunga ng kasakiman at pagiging ganid ng ating mga lider at politicos…

    kung kailan tayo kikilos, yaon ang malaking katanungan, ang solusyon nasa atin at wala kung kaninumang politico.

    ang boses ng masa ang higit at laging mas makapangyarihan kesa sa mga naghaharing uri na mga trapos at huwad na lider.

    gising na pilipino, hanggang may laban ka pa….

  124. TruBlue TruBlue

    Tama ka Iwatcher, but at the same token, tahol ng tahol si Ka Dandaw kahit nasa sulok eh puro di naman totoo yung mga banat. Blogging is all about the truth, everything but the truth para lahat tayo ay may matotohan. Pag walang laman yang mga posts natin, let’s just stay put and enjoy life. Telling me you’re a churchgoer but outside of that umbrella you denigrade people is the lowest form of virtue and conviction.

  125. dandaw dandaw

    Last year there was a soldier that was put in prison also I think he was with the Magdalo group. I was going to send $100.00 because the family of the soldier was in dire need for help. My desire to send my contribution was cut off because somesone said that this blog does not want to get involve with financial solicitation. It was a small amount but I thought at that time it was a start. For 35 years or so my deceased brother supported our Puericulture Center in our small town. Giving Medication such as Pennicilline, Aspirin, bandages, first aid kits because our town have no hospital. I don’t know who is doing the job that my brother left but I soon as I get the chance I’ll go home and take over. BE and TB started calling me snake and psychopath, racist, etc. etc. in this blog. I really did’nt want to go there because I know that is not me and also they don’t know me. I was voicing my opinion about politics and the vitriol that got me from Bitch Evil and True Blue was unsurmountable. Good luck True Blue and Bitch Evil. May your tribe increase. May the Lord guide you to the right path.

  126. AbKi AbKi

    I agree with Ellen when she said it is the breakdown in leadership that is gloria arroyo and not the PMA as an institution.

    I guess it is the same for the AFP. The AFP has transformed to a total wreck. It is bad enough that the army is ill-equipped , the air force has no planes, and the navy has no ships. Adding insult to injury, its most senior officials are so corrupt, they swore allegiance and serve as lackeys and door mats to a false commander-in-cheap in pursuit of guaranteed personal gains. They have sworn to defend gloria and not people and country and its constitution. And because the military hierarchy had perennially failed to work to resolve what was mandated of them to resolve plus the un-abated corruption, they could not (and will never) preserve the chain of command without the threat of the cold a barrel (of a gun) lodged in a soldier’s ass.

    It is gloria’s abusive, horrendous, mediocre, and diabolical self-serving political maneuverings masquerading as good governance that the credibility of the executive, legislative, and the judiciary branches of government are now what people see as the “AXIS OF EVIL”. Added to this is the political posturing of the CBCP and the “GESTAPO-like” attitude of the police. Poor (Juan de la Cruz) has nowhere to go.

    Never had I known the Philippines in such a shameful predicament since Marcos’s rule.

  127. dandaw dandaw

    Ditto to AKBI for his accessement of the failure of the 3 branches of government in the Philippines because of corruption. There has never been check and balance as far as I remember. At least now we can blog and say something about their crookedness if only they will listen to the public. It is becoming like that now in America. If one thinks or is a Christian, he is called racist, psychopath, wacko. Yet we talk bad about our politicians in the Philippines like that. I agree that our politicians in America are out of control so with Obama and his government. I think it would’nt be long before America follow the rule of the Philippines. It’s called abuse of power and the Philippines will follow America when they will have ACORN to cheat in the election or it has already been practiced by Gloria re- her “Hello Garci”. In another context, to help our kababayan, even just to give paper and pencils to the student that are in need is a good gesture. Or have a contest and for a deserving student give them electric fan so that when the student studies he will not sweat in the heat.

  128. Trublue Trublue

    Ka Dandaw, these juxtapositions of your posts are becoming incoherent, so we need to end this mayhem. The little puppy barking had gone wild and now howling like a wolf in the wilderness. More power to your being a righeous christian.

  129. AbKi AbKi

    A decade or so going into next year is much too much for all Pinoys to endure the stench of corruption gloria and her minions had dealt the Philippines with. With a strong and credible standard-bearer with new progressive visions for the Philippines and backed by a united opposition supported by the people, gloria’s dream team could backfire into a nightmare for her and her ilk.
    The Philippines is presently at the abyss. The only way is to go UP.

  130. dandaw dandaw

    TB – What does Ka means? If you attack personalities here in the blog you are incoherent, a barking dog? So it is mayhem if you attack your politicians? If I’m not mistaken 50% or more of bloggers here are Christian. Remember a good leader stems from being a good person first. Why do you think politicians are ganghoo about power, about money, they are abusive, etc. etc. maybe because the strayed away from being a good Christian, they are not true to their faith. “Go preach the Gospel to every creature”. TB, you can never take away my freedom of religion even how elite you are in this Website.

  131. Dandaw, why is your Dick Cheney barking these days? He was so quiet during his boss’ term; and now he’s all over the media attacking Obama like an old wide dog. And Bush? He’s quietly playing with his horse in his Texas ranch. Look at the mess they left to the current administration.

  132. Correction: Old Wild Dog.

    Christian? Are you Christian or you only claim to be? There are so many self-proclaimed Christians these days. They call on the Lord but God says “Go away…I don’t know you”.

  133. Trublue Trublue

    TB – What does Ka Means? – dandaw.

    Ka means: Kaibigan, Katokayo, Kalaban, Katoliko, Kalabaw, Kakainis, Kakampi, Katipunero, Kababayan, Kapitbahay, at iba pa. I’m sure everyone here agree that when I out you as Ka Dandaw, my inference is Kaibigang Dandaw. If you insist to disagree, pick any of the above meaning and I can’t agree more.

    Rightwinger Radio Talkshow host Eric Muller never believed “waterboarding is torture” just like Cheney, Liz Cheney, Sean Hannity and millions of their kinds. He volunteered to be waterboarded on National TV a few days ago and he only LASTED 6 SECONDS.

    Waterboarding is Torture.

  134. dandaw dandaw

    So, True Blue magkaibigan pala tayo. The issue of torture is already finished. BO lost in the U.S. Senate with 90 to 6 against closing Gitmo, because he has no plans where to put the prisoners. Even his own party DNC is against it. Maybe, to save face he will still close Gitmo. Cheney is a statesman. Believe me BO is not what you think he is. He is actually a dangerous man whose ambition is to make America a Socialist country. A community organizer is not a qualification to be Commander in Chief. True, he was elected President with the help of ACORN, Micky Mouse, dead people. (Sounds like the Philippines). In as much as yu want to get your leaders out, so with sensable Americans. In other words “BO can not quite cut the mustard”

    You were asking me in the previous blog what society I belong to. It’s PEO which stands for Philanthropic Educational Org. If you are interested I can submit your name. You have to be sponsored to qulify. There are so many good organizations that need your help, such as Red Cross, Cancer Society, Salvation Army etc. In our other club, we had our most successful fundraising for a scholarship fund for the most deserving high school graduate on his way to college. This summer we are collecting old cell phones to be reprocessed for our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan to help ease-up long distnace cost. Last year, 2 retired Pinoy Principals approached us to help them in their pilot school but they did not follow up. I don’t know what happened.

    In another context: you people are in dire need to oust your leader and to ease corruption in Pinas. How can anybody be interested in helping you when you start your character assasination against people that differ with your opinion. Sometimes crises are solved by diplomacy.
    Bitch, Is that what GOD did to you? So what did you do? It’s unbelievable that you knew what GOD thinks.

  135. Trublue Trublue

    Ka Dandaw: I’m a friend to anyone, even those I don’t agree with. My innermost circle of friends are “die hard republicans” and politics is not a sideshow in our conversations. There’s gazillions of issues at hand we discuss openly and everyone is invited, no sponsorship required, the only requisite is just good citizen of the world.

    With your group’s generosity, why not divert your donations to the ranks and files of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, they too need communication devices to get in touch with their loved ones. Maybe this is where your mind doesn’t meet mine – simple logic. Touche!
