Sabban is new Marine chief;at the PNP, Barias may push out Verzosa next month

sabbanFinally, Maj. General Juancho Sabban has been named commandant of the Philippine Marines.

A long delayed appointment.

We can imagine that Malacañang weighed the pros and cons of approving the recommendation of the Board of Generals of Sabban against the demoralization that it would cause among the Marines if Gloria Arroyo had given in to the lobbying of her favored Marine, Maj. Gen. Jonathan Martir, whose second star remains unconfirmed by the Commission on Appointments.

Martir has a pending case of AWOL (absence without leave for more than a year) which is the basis of the malversation of funds charge before the Ombudsman.

Although PMA Class ’78 has adopted Gloria Arroyo and a number of them are now in strategic positions, Sabban is more associated with officials who are now in detention and charged with mutiny in connection with the alleged plan to withdraw support from Arroyo in February 2006.

Sabban participated in the 1989 coup, the bloodiest military rebellion against President Aquino. He escaped from detention and resumed his career when the Ramos government granted amnesty to all military rebels.

(AFP Spokesman Romeo Brawner said, “There might have been instances in his career where he went against the rules and regulations…but everybody is given the chance to prove himself.”)

It’s probably this aspect of his military record that made Arroyo delay his appointment as Marines chief despite the fact that he was the most senior in rank for that position next to Lt. Gen. Ben Dolorfino, who replaced the retiring Lt. Gen Nelson Allaga as commander of the Western Mindanao command.

The 8,000-strong Marines has a history of militancy and Malacañang initially had wanted them under Martir, whose dogged loyalty to Arroyo was shown in the November 2007 Manila Peninsula incident when he stomped on the rebel Magdalo officers who were down on the floor handcuffed.

In the 1987 and 1989 coups, Martir has submitted affidavits against the alleged “coup plotters” especially Col. Ariel Querubin. He also stood as a prosecution witness in the ongoing trail against officers implicated in the 2006 non-event.

Martir losing out to Sabban simply proves that servility can only get one so far. It does not guarantee the highest prize.

But the other Manila Pen bully who will be rewarded the highest position is Deputy Director Geary Barias of the Philippine National Police.

It has been talked about that PNP Chief Jesus Verzosa, who will be retiring in December 2010, will be prematurely retired in October this year to give way to another Class ’78 member, Deputy Director Roberto “Boysie” Rosales.

But the latest info we got was that Verzosa, who is identified with Local Government Secretary Ronaldo Puno, will be going out next month in favor of Barias, whose patrons are the all powerful Arroyo brothers, Mike and Iggy.

    Salamat naman! MajorGen Sabban deserves the promotion with or without the fake boobsie Gloria naming him to the position.

    The unana is weighing the pros and cons of appointing to higher posts her ‘own’ AFP officials disliked by the people. Kaya medyo hindi rin ako lubos na naniniwala na the bitch can declare martial rule pronto because she knows the militar is divided unlike in Marcos time. But I don’t discount the possibility of it because of her greed for power.

    ___

    Si Pulis ni Pidal Gerry Barias to replace PNP chief Verzosa?! Naku, mas maraming tadyak at sipa ang matitikman ng mga tulad ni Trillanes!

    On second thought, kailangan niyang magbayad ng utang sa lahat ng tuta niya dahil naniningil na…she might be out of power soon if BO would deliver the message of the kapinuyan. Sana nga ay ganun at hindi maging ‘transaction’ ang kanilang tapikan, sepsepan at kodakan.

  2. For once, the boobuwit made a wise decision. Had she appointed the rat martir, the marines would have protested!

    Sabban’s “cooperation” on the Vagni release may have finally done it! His promotion, that is.

  3. Careerwise, Sabban is worthy of the promotion! Congratulations Gen Sabban! Galingan mo ha! Huwag kang pagagamit kay boobuwit!

  4. Balweg Balweg

    Hay naku…Gen. Sabban, congrats and hoping that you will be a non-partisan Kawal…protector of our constitution and the Filipino people or else wala na talagang pag-asa ang Pinoy sa AFP?

    Alam mo, ang Marines na lang ang only respected units sa AFP + itong Scout Rangers natin pero heto todo-bantay ang Armed Forces of Pidalismo upang dis-armahan ang sinumang kokontra sa rehime.

    Nawa e manindigan kayo sa katotohanan at wag pagagamit sa mga kurap/sinungaling/magnanakaw sa ating mga trapong pulitiko and vested interest Pinoys.

    Mabuhay ka Gen. Sabban and the whole Marines contingent!

  5. Balweg Balweg

    About Gen. Barias igan Chi e wala akong masabi…di ako mapalagay sa ka ek-ekan ni general last PEN siege, tuta rin yan ng rehime at wala tayong pag-asa sa Pidalismo National Pulis-patola.

    But, still e nagbabago naman ang panahon at by 2010 e maging makabayan na si Gen. Barias, kasi nga halos 9 years ng rehime e ginamit lang sila nito.

    Wala silang maipagmamalaki sa lipunan sapagka’t till now e kinamumuhian sila ng taong-bayan.

  6. gabigabi gabigabi

    Si Gen. Sabban best friend ni Col. Querubin na kapwa Marino.

  7. taga-ilog taga-ilog

    Congratulations, Grn Sabban!

    Ang iyong pagangat ng ranggo ay bunga ng iyong pagsisikap at mabuting gawa…..HINDI PAGSISIPSIP sa mga baboy sa malakanyang! Lagi kang tumahak sa tamang daan lalo na ngayong nasa itaas ka na upang meron kang maiwang mabuting alaala sa iyong mga anak at sa sambayanan. Sana ay di ka masilaw sa ningning ng ginto at kalansing ng salapi tulad ng marami sa iyong mga kasamahan!

    Sa mata ng Diyos may higit na pagtatangi ang mga may malilinis na budhi. Humayo ka!!!

  8. buhawi buhawi

    Kung ako si Martir, magbalot balot na ako. Akala niya siguro makakaisa na naman. Ngayong alam na niya na sinusuka na siya ng buong Marino, dapat lumayas na Marines isama na niya mga kapirangkot niyang mga tau-tauhan. Humanda na rin at malapit na siyang ma-latigo!

  9. Heh,heh,heh…punuin ni John rat yung kanyang tampipi! Siguro hindi kuntento si boobuwit sa “testimony” ni John rat para idiin yung mga Tanay Boys. Yun, si Sabban ang kinuha. Baka naman pakulo lang ito ni boobuwit. Pagbibigyan muna niya si Sabban para manahimik ang mga marines. Pag nalalapit na ang eleksiyon, tsaka niya isisingit si John rat. Isn’t John rat supppose to retire in March of 2010 though?

    Ngayong si Sabban ang Commandant ng mga marines, magingat si boobuwit dahil hindi basta basta susunod si Sabban sa mga kapritso niya. Kay Vagni, sabihin na natin na pinagbigyan niya si boobuwit. Sa susunod, hindi na siya makakasiguro na sunod sunuran lang si Sabban. I expect him to be better than that!

  10. Ellen, Sabban’s promotion is a welcomed move. He was a junior officer in 2004 when the boobuwit used the AFP including the marines to rig the elections. Hindi papayag si Sabban na mandaya ulit si boobuwit para sa kanyang mga alipores. If at all, Sabban will at least make sure that our votes are guarded. Meron pa akong natitirang respeto sa taong yan. I hope he will not fail us.

  11. He is one of the generals in the US Balikatan program so I hope this has not undermined his patriotism.

    The choice of Sabban over Martir as Marine commandant is good news and that of Barias not so good. But there are more dark economic clouds hovering over Pinoyland, as if Ate Glue and her spendthrift gallivanting were not trials enough. On top of the foreboding 300 billion fiscal deficit this year and Yap’s allegedly overpriced imports of rice, we may also see the return of rice queues of rationed NFA rice in May 2010. If the predicted El Niño of 2009-2010 drought is severe, the second rice crop may not materialize, and the third may not even be planted. The corn harvest may be short for hog and chicken feed. Be ready to tighten your belts, folks. I hope ‘Lie Fajardo refrains from recommending cake to eat in lieu of rice.

  13. Enciong Enciong

    Martir will go on Terminal leave soon at tatakbo na sa US. Confirmed ito. Dun niya uubusin yung leave balance niya at saka magre-retire in 2010.

    Marami na ring naibulsa ito. Kaya balewala na yung kaso niya.

    Papano yung second star niya? Wala na siyang paki. pag-retire naman niya, ang pension niya would be for a 2-star general pa rin.

    Pag naging US citizen na yan, hindi na siya entitled sa pension na iyon. But if he gets dual citizenship (as Pinoy ang Kano), he will still get the best of both worlds. Martir will still enjoy the fruits of his “labor” na nakamkam niya under nunal.

  14. Enciong Enciong

    correction: “as pinoy AND kano”. Sorry for the typo error.

  15. So the rat will have his cake and eat it too! Ang galing! Samantalang yung mga ipinagkanulo niyang kasamahan niya ay nasa detention. I wonder if this rat can sleep at night without drinking cognac like the boobuwit.

  16. Enciong Enciong

    Ang dapat na magawa is mapabilis yung kaso ni Martir sa Ombudsman at kung saan-saan pa.

    Ang alam ko is that hindi maki-clear for retirement ang isang sundalo kung may outstanding cases siya na hindi pa tapos.

    Ang problema, malamang na pag wala na si Martir dito, makakalimutan na rin yung mga kaso niya and eventually, “malilinis” ito para maka-retire siya properly at kumubra for his Terminal Leave and 3-year Lump Sum Pension.

  17. “I wonder if this rat can sleep at night without drinking cognac like the boobuwit.” – psb

    Cognac? Are you kidding? Baka banana smoothie!

  18. BTW, the Doctora who is suspected to have leaked the leaking implants is a sis-in-law of our friend, blogger-lawyer (San Juan Gossip Mills), Atty. Edwin Lacierda. Details in Inquirer column.

  19. Verzosa is being pushed out to give way to Barias. Malaki na naman pagbabago sa AFP at PNP.

    No less than 100 congressmen—or nearly 40 percent of the total membership of the House of Representatives— are jostling for slots in President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’ s entourage in her July 30 meeting with US President Barack Obama in Washington. (By Gil C. Cabacungan Jr., Philippine Daily Inquirer

    100 Congressmen? Plus at least their spouses. That’s more than the projected protesters sa US. What happens to the pending bills? They just got back to work after a month-long break. Nice job, those Congressmen have. Payola, pork barrels, junkets, influence, power. Who will not want to hold on to their position forever?

    Curses just waste saliva. But then again, if 80 plus million Filipinos do, who knows.

    All together now… One…two… three! GO TO HELL!

  21. Enciong Enciong

    Galing yan kay kaibigang Pantas.

    Tama siya. Sabay-sabay kaya nating duraan ang mga ito? May kasama pang plema? Mas mabuti siguro, ano?

    Kasi kung puro mura lang ang gagawin natin dito, nasasayang lang, eh.

    Pero kung sabay-sabay tayong magmura, malay natin… baka nga mapunta din sila sa dapat nilang mapuntahan?

  22. Gosh, Sabban is fat!

    Just as I lost my trust on most Cardinals and Bishops sa atin particularly those in the CBCP, wala na rin akong tiwala sa mga generals sa atin except the ones who are detained..hopeless case na ang Phil..

  24. What do CBCP, Generals, Malacanang officials, politicians allied with GMA have in common? All are liars.

  25. Hindi nagtratrabaho daw tuwing Sabado si Gen. Sabban because he observes the Sabban Day.

    To all kababayans in the US East Coast na malapit-lapit sa Phil Embassy in Washington, DC…

    Please join us on July 25th at 3PM, in front of the Philippine Embassy in Washington, DC, to hear the True State of the Nation.

    Bring nothing except that Filipino blood that will remain unchanged regardless of passports, residence nor status in life.

    Care enough to matter. Insignificance is self-made.

    Pakikalat na lang po ito. Salamat po.

    Kung si Joanna ang naging Marine Commandant, hindi na ipapadala ang mga marines sa combat areas kundi magpapatayo na lamang siya ng beauty parlors, dress shops, slimming salons at baka kumpitensiyahin pa niya sina Dr. Vicki Belo at Dr. Manny Calayan.

    Haaay! Sayang.

  30. Liwayway-Gawgaw Liwayway-Gawgaw

    Unconfirmed pa pala sa Commission on Appointments ‘yung pangalawang star ni Joanna?

    Baka lumapit ‘yun sa Commission on Elections bago ang kanyang retirement para ma full pledged na ‘yung kanyang pagiging general majorette.

  31. From Jerry Quibilan:

    I remember seeing Maj. Gen. Sabban sometime before the May 1, 2009 retirement of then CSAFP Gen. Alexander Yano. Gen. Sabban reported the latest MILF-RP troops encounter in Mindanao to the Chief of Staff.

    At one time, I met Maj. Gen. Martir at the reception area of the OCSAFP while he was waiting his turn to meeth Gen. Yano. I did not realized until now that both were contenders for the position of Commandant, Philippine Marines.

    Whatever, I hope that our Marines will be loyal to our Constitution even it is not ‘flawless’and not to the appointing power.

  32. Off topic: Bumanat na naman ang CBCP na wala daw worthy na presidentiables. Gee, these hypocrites think that the boobuwit is the only worthy one. Shame on them!

    Congratulations to you Major-General Juancho Sabban. I know you very well and I strongly believe that you earned and deserved to lead this proud unit. I am far, far away from you, but I do know all the heroic deeds you have shown to the whole world that led to the elimination of the dreaded Abu Sayyaf chieftain Janjalani and loud mouth Abu Sabaya. I still remember you, sometime in April 1978, fresh from the PMA, you walked into our barracks at the Philippine Marine Training Center and reported to me like a dumbguard but I already sensed something from you that someday you will have a bright future in the Marine Corps. Hope you don’t forget our friends who are still languishing in solitary confinement like Major-General Renato Miranda, Col. Ariel Querubin and other fellow Marines whose faith and devotion to the name of service have brought them and their families untold sufferings and hardships. Mabuhay ka, Gen. Sabban!

    —Ngayon tuta ni Gloria ang bagong pinuno ng CBCP, expect the church’s policy towards prolonging her stay in power. Such statement stating that there are no worthy presidentiables implies that Gloria is the best option to stay as President. Kaya sa mga Katolikong matagal nang nais umalis, nandiyan ang mga iba’t ibang Christian groups na naghihintay. Puwera lang siyempre ang El Shaddai…same banana. Pero choice niyo iyon.

    Congratulations to you, Major General Juancho Sabban for a well-deserved promotion to head the leathernecks. Your past achievements speak well of yourself. But I will still have my reservations. Your future actions will prove your true colors. Please do not be another Honasan in the works. Do not forget why Lim and company are now incarcerated. Play your cards well and you will do just fine.
    And remember the marine motto of SEMPER FIDELIS. Always Faithful. Two words that will be your sacred covenant to your unit and the people you have sworn to protect and the seemingly bastardized constitution.

    Narinig ko yong interview nila Taberna kay Gen. Sabban kaninang umaga at iba ang pananaw niya kung anong dapat gawin sa mga ASG kabaligtaran ng gusto ng AFP na pulbusin ang mga terorista.
    Ayaw ng AFP dahil nagkaka-kuwalta sila habang may kalaban. Kung ang mga nakakataas posisyon … kung aasahan lang nila ang sahod … papano sila magkakabahay sa kunyari Ayala Alabang. Mukhang itong mga gumagawa ng kalokohan sa Mindanao ay may share sila sa mga budget na ibinibigay ng Gobyerno sa AFP para sugpuin KUNO ang mga ito. Ang kawawa ay yong mga walang kamuwang-muwang na mga sundalo …. sila ang isinusungalngal ng mga tangnang mga ungas na General.
    Saludo ako sa iyo Gen. Sabban!!!!!!

  44. Dapat kasi niluluto na ang baboy na asawa ni Gloria Balahura sa totoo lang.

    Si Gen. Sabban best friend ni Col. Querubin na kapwa Marino.

    Ayos Araw-araw…medyo nakabawi tayo ng kaunti, till na maresolba ang kaso ng ating mga pinagpipitaganang Marino at Scout Rangers.

    At least kahit papaano e mapangalagaan ng Marine contingent ang kanilang hanay kasi nga po medyo nadungisan ng rehime.

    Good luck Gen. Sabban, kundi e nilagang saba ang aabutin mo sa taong-bayan pag napadala ka sa mga ganid.

  46. Balweg Balweg

    Wow Mumbaki naiiba ka talaga, ang lakas ng dating mo Igan…ipakilala mo naman kami sa Tisay na yan?

    Opppsss! Kamuntik ko nang makalimutan si Gen. Saban, kailangan nating tulungan ang mga Marino para di na muli itong malansi ng rehime.

  47. Balweg Balweg

    Puro kasi tayo ningas kugon ang kailangan ay ang lumaban?

    Well, Igan Mumbaki…masyadong malalim na ang pangpulitikal na problema ng ating bansa? In short, ang naghaharing-uri sa ating lipunan ang traydor at peste sa pagkakaisa ng Pinoy at pagsulong ng bansa.

    Ang dami ng Pinoy ang nagbuwis ng buhay para sa bayan pero till now walang katapusan bangayan.

  48. Lagi kasi tayong nagpapaapi,inapi na tayo ng mga sri-vijaya,china,tapos kastila tapos amerikano,hinahayaan natin idivide tayo ng mga iyan bakit ba kasi lagi tayong nagpapaapi kung pwede namang hindi.

  49. Balweg Balweg

    Sa madaling salita Igan Mumbaki…walang UNITY ang Pinoy, tama yong bukang-bibig ng iba na crab mentality ang umiiral sa ating lipunan?

    Kung kailan pa na marami ang naging edukado sa mga Pinoy e sa ilalim nang talampakan inilagay yong talino at di sa kukote.

    Well, magka-gayon man igan…e wag tayong mawawalan ng pag-asa sa buhay. Tuloy ang ligaya sa pakikibaka till we meet our objective…makalaya sa kuko ng pagkaalipin.

    Nakakadismaya!

    Gustong magbango ni Dick Gordon, semplang naman ang kanyang gustong mangyari.

    Aba’y kapag binigyan ng amnestiya ang Abu Sayyaf ay dapat ding bigyan ng amnestiya ang iba’t ibang kriminal na grupo sa buong kapuluan gayundin kapag nawala na sa poder ang pinaka-organisadong sindikato sa bansa, ang Pidal-Arroyo-Macapagal Mafia.

    Dick, iboboto kita. Pag hindi na uso ang eleksiyon!

  53. Mike Mike

    I wish Gen. Sabban good luck and hopefully, won’t be corrupted by his commander-in-chief. Do remember, less you forget, that Ate Glo is very generous to her generals.

    OT: Dick Gordon is out his mind when he suggested to grant amnesty to the ASG. What is he thinking? Is he really serious? Stupid idea.

  54. Kung si Dick Gordon ang magiging presidente, iiyak lang ng iiyak yan. Super lambot & very emotional!

  55. Balweg Balweg

    Do remember, less you forget, that Ate Glo is very generous to her generals?

    Igan Mike…medyo nakulili yaong tenga ko sa word na very generous, buti pa palitan natin ng “suhulera” sa kanyang mga trojan horses?

    Sensiya ka na, i know na pwede itong double meaning…but nais ko lamang na bigyan-diin ito upang maging clear sa kukote ng mga Pinoy.

    Kahit na gatiting e wala akong simpatya sa rehime since 2001 pa, sila ang ugat ng lahat ng kagaguhan na nangyayari sa Pinas. Wala silang karapatan na maupo sa Malacanang at pamunuan ang sambyanang Pinoy?

    Kaya heto, nagkakaletse-letse ang ating pamumuhay…masyadong maligalig ang imahinasyon ng Pinoy, di alam kung saan patutungo…always checkmate ng mga kurap/magnanakaw/sinungaling.

    Masyadong matiis ang Pinoy…inaalimura na, pinagwiwikaan, inaapakan, pinagnanakawan, hinuhudas, pinapatay, ikinukulong etc. etc. e heto dedma lang sa mga nangyayari sa ating bayan.

    In short, bunga ito ng “KATANGAHAN” at walang Pagmamahal sa Bayan pati na sa kapwa-Pinoy!

    Ito ba ang pamana sa atin ni uncle SAM, buti pa yong mga Kastilaloy e takot sa Dios ang naituro sa atin ang kaso sumobra naman, kaya heto ginagawa nang negosyo ang relihiyon at ang nakakapundi e kahit saan ka magsuot sa apat ng sulok ng Pinas e parang kabute ang dami ng sekta o relihiyon sa ating bansa.

    Lalong nagkawatakwatak ng pananampalataya ng Pinoy…bakit ka mo, epekto ito ng modernong edukasyon na itinuro ng mga Kano sa Pinoy, sapagka’t since na mabuksan ang kamalayang pang lupa e gusto ng lahat kundi maging presidente o kaya ministro/pastor at ano pa?

    Kaya pagka-minsan yong sobrang dunong at wala sa lugar e impierno ang resulta? Korek!

    General Sabban, Sir,

    Ikaw ang pag-asa ngayon ng sambayanang Pilipino. Sa iyong mga kamay nakasalalay ang katuparan ng matagal nating ipinaglalabang pagbabago mula pa noong 1989.

    Ilan na ang napalagay sa poder na dapat ay ginamit sa tama at hindi ‘yung pagsasawalang kibo. Silang mga nauna sa iyo ay mas pinili ang tawag ng mapanlinlang na kapangyarihan at kinang ng salapi kaysa ipagtanggol ang katarungang pinipilit igapos ng tanikala ng pagkagahaman ng namamayaning ganid sa malakanyang.

    Sir, may pag-asa ba kaming magigisnan bukas pagsikat ng panibagong araw?

  57. Liwayway-Gawgaw Liwayway-Gawgaw

    Huwag mong kalilimutan, Gen Sabban, Sir ang mga buhay na nabuwis noong 1989 kabilang na si Corporal Lazaro na mismong kapatid ang nakapatay.

    Sana’y nararamdaman mo pa rin hanggang ngayon ang alab ng pakikibaka upang makamtan ang tunay na pagbabago. Sana’y nasa iyo pa rin ang adhikaing maiahon mula sa kumunoy ng kasinungalingan ang halos naghihingalo nating lipunan at masagip mo mula sa pagkakasakmal ng pangil ng gahaman ang bayang iyong sinumpaang ipagtatanggol at ipagsasanggalang laban sa anumang lakas na magtatangkang siya ay pagsamantalahan at pugayan ng dangal.

  58. Liwayway-Gawgaw Liwayway-Gawgaw

    Lalo’t higit, Sir, huwag mo sanang hahayaan na hindi makamtan ng iyong mga tauhang walang awang kinitlan ng buhay noong isang taon sa Basilan na parang mga hayup pang kinatay ng mga kriminal gayundin sa Sulu nitong hindi pa natatagalang nakaraan na hindi sana mangyayari kung ang kasalukuyang pamunuan ay tapat ang layuning lipulin ang mga mapanligalig na kaaway ng lipunan.

    Sana ako’y nagkakamali, pero malaki ang aking pagdududa sa pagkakatalaga ni GMA kay Sabban. Hindi gagawin ni GMA ang magtalaga ng isang heneral na dito pa sa Metro Manila ang headquarters katulad ng Marines kung di niya tiyak ang loyalty nito sa kanya.

    Ang nangyaring pagpapalaya ng Abu Sayyaf kay Vagni ay isang malaking misteryo.Merong ransom na ibinayad sa mga Abu Sayyaf at ang naging tulay ay ang Sulu Vice-Governor na si Nur-Ana “Lady Ann” Sahidulla bagama’t di niya ito inaamin, ayon na rin sa kanya siya ay pinakiusapan ni Sabban na tumulong sa pagpapalaya kay Vagni. Sa aking palagay, merong taga-malacanang na nag-facilitate ng operation na ito at si Sabban ang ginamit dito.

    Ang pagkakahuli sa dalawang asawa ni Albader Parad ay isang moro-moro upang magsilbing smoke screen, si Sahidulla pa ang kumupkop sa dalawa. Ang gusto nilang mangyari, ang pansin ay matuon sa suspetsang nagkaroon ng “swapping” via the “nagging wife” tactic. I think Sabban is now tainted, he is already “one of the boys”. I hope I am wrong.

  61. Desert Fox Desert Fox

    General Sabban… CONGRATULATIONS.. huwag mo sana kalimutan ang iyong pinagglaingan.. Ang taong hindi marunong tumingin sa pinangalingan ay hindi makarating sa paroroonan. Ang mga marines na handang ibigay ang buhay sa bayan ay nasa kulungan. Alam mo yan.

I would like asspweron on the stand so he will squirm at the cross examination just like the John rat. Yan tuloy ni hindi pumasa kay boobuwit. Between Sabban ang John rat, parang heaven and earth ang diperensiya. Kahit na sabihin natin na naaambunan din si Sabban paminsan minsan siguro, still Sabban is still a far better officer!

    Mayuga cleared the Tanay boys of “mutiny”. Ano pa ang hinihintay? Pakawalan na sila!

    As we already knew, jailing them was only a ‘love pack’ between Gloria and her Ass! Sa isang cubicle lang ipreso si Gloria and Asspweron when the bitch’s illegal rule is no more.

  68. Chi, they have to have all the witnesses on the stand before the court martial is wrapped up. The asspweron I think needs to be put on the stand too and Senga. Sila na lang na dalawa yata ang naiiwan na witnesses. Maclang was the one who accompanied Lim and Querubin to Senga’s office and if he says he will witness for the accused, he should have known what really transpired in Senga’s office. Tignan natin kung yung ambassadorial position ni Senga is enough to bribe him to testify to something that never happened. I think Senga is more principled than the ass. But let us listen to what he says. I hope the court martial wraps up soon for the sake of the families of the detained and they can put their lives together away from all the intrigues borne by the incarceration. Instead of helping these incarcerated, some POWERS are taking advantage of the situation to create more chaos to the detained. The detained should know better. Hang in there gang! Malapit na kayong makalabas!

    PSB,

    Anong heaven and earth? Heaven and hell kamo, yon ang difference nila. And for your info, si Gen. Sabban hindi nagpapaambon yan maski katiting…siya pa nga madalas mang-ambon kung meron siya maski personal niyang resources itanong mo maski kaninong Marino at maski saang sulok sa Marines.

    By the way, turn over ceremonies is just a few hours away…CONGRATULATIONS Gen. Sabban!!!

    So far, ang sambayanang Pinoy ay walang tutol sa pagkaka-hirang mo, Hen. Sabban, sa bago mong puwesto as marine commandant. And based on your past actions, you deserve to be. Saludo kami sa iyo !! Pero kuwidaw, kaibigang heneral. Kung baga eh, you are the “odd-man-out” in the realm of thieves. Your true mettle and patriotism in the days ahead will prove either you are one of the BOYS (meaning, sila Lim, Querubin, Trillanes, Miranda, et al), or one of the BABOYS (meaning, mike, iggy, nograles, esperon, reyes, pangilinan, mayuga, garcillano, bolante abalos, etc.). We will be watching you, General, sir. Do your homework well and we’ll get along fine. Do otherwise and you will feel the wrath and vicious bites of a pissed-off citizenry.

    For the meantime, enjoy the accolades to your honor.

    ayan… ang kapal ni Martir, may mukha pang nag attend ng turn over ceremonies kanina, siya ang unang unang umalis pagkatapos…andaming nagtatanong sa kanya kung ano na kasunod na hakbang nya…di makasagot.

    Si Martir ay bibitiwan ni Gloria, he did not deliver!

  73. Chi, noong nasa cross examination sa court martial hearing si Martir, dahil sa minemorize lang niya yung testimony niya, may mga nakalimutan siyang mga linya. Kaya yun hindi tuloy pumasa kay boobuwit. Kung naging consistent sana siya sa mga sinasabi niya, eh di siya na ngayon ang Commandant! It serves him well. Matagal ng idinidiin ni John rat sila Querubin et al, simula pa noong 1989.

    Chi, nagdeliber na nga si Joanna, eh. Muntik pa ngang masisaryan dahil halos hindi natunawan sa dami ng nilamong hilaw na saging at salad na talong.

    Magang maga nga ang kanyang behind dahil hindi halos nailabas ang dapat niyang iluwal. Nakakaawa nga, eh. Pero mas nakakaasar. Dalahira kasi.

  75. Congratulations MGen Sabban, Sir!

    I am happy for you who deserves the new position because of your dedication to the development of the art and profession of combat in our national situation.

    I am happy for the Filipino Marines among us, who because of high standard of discipline and dedication to service and the combat profession, deserve a commandant with an equally high standard of discipline, and combat leadership who could steer the unit to accomplish its mission and could secure the welfare of his men, amidst stormy seas.

    Lest we forget, let us review http://jmgpatria.blogspot.com/2009/06/american-invasion-continues_7055.html , http://jmgpatria.blogspot.com/2009/06/chinese-invasion-continues.html ,and http://jmgpatria.blogspot.com/2009/06/developmental-basis.html . That is why I am happy for us Filipinos, who amidst our long struggle to recover our inherited nation long wrested from us by the American and Chinese invaders, there is still hope for us to realize it. With our nation always held dear to your heart, we feel expectant as we are also hopeful that you will as always, be with us your brother Filipinos in our very long journey to finally come to our own home!
