A cavalier, a term used for graduates of the Philippine Military Academy, forwarded to me a series of texts.The first one was this:”Let us not forget the uncavalier act of Antonio Trillanes that humiliated and shamed Cav Reyes to the public.
“When the proper time comes, let every cavalier judge Antonio Trillanes and put him where he rightfully belongs.The time of reckoning is about to come.”
It was followed by other Trillanes demolition texts which were circulated immediately after the 2003 Oakwood incident and revived during the 2007 senatorial campaign. It’s about the finances and rifts in Magdalo. Those misinformations have been answered by Trillanes.
One PMAer also texted me that in the forthcoming PMA alumni homecoming, there’s a plan by some to put up a streamer, “Let’s boycott Trillanes in the next national election. Be a wise voter!”
Former AFP Chief Hermogenes Esperon (Class ’74) has chimed in and said he was also hurt of the treatment by Trillanes (Class ’95) of Reyes (Class ’66). He said, “Sobrang yabang ng batang ‘yan” (That young man is so arrogant.)
The incident referred to by Esperon was the confrontation in the hearing of the Blue Ribbon Committee on the questionable plea bargain agreement entered into by the Office of the Ombudsman and retired military comptroller Carlos Garcia. Former military budget officer Lt. Col. George Rabusa showed up as a surprise resource person and revealed that he gave Reyes P50 million send off gift when the latter retired in march 2001. Aside from the send-off gift, Rabusa said he was giving Reyes P10 million a month allowance, outside his legal pay.
Reyes wanted to question Rabusa directly which was not allowed by Senate rules (but the rule was briefly waived and Reyes directly addressed Rabusa) saying that he wanted to protect his reputation. Trillanes snapped at him, “ If you are so concerned about your name, you should have fixed yourself while you were in office! This is the time of reckoning. You better find very good lawyers….You have no reputation to protect!”
I understand where Trillanes is coming from having been incarcerated by these upperclassmen for more than seven years and for what? For exposing corruption in the military.
Although it would do him good if he learns to speak his truth as advised in Desiderata “quietly and clearly”, his shortcoming in demeanor is not a crime to the Filipino people.
As journalist Vergel Santos said, “Trillanes may have come short on tact, but Reyes came definitely short on truth.”
A young Magdalo officer said Trillanes committed only one mistake and that’s graduating much, much later than Reyes and his ilk. “The bastards couldn’t stand being made to answer for their sins by an underclassman. Miriam said worse things. She used the word moron. And where’s the indignation?”
Magdalo officer Lt. Jonnell Sangalang put the practice of protecting fellow cavaliers in the proper perspectice in his Facebook wall.
He said, “While it is true that part of a cavalier’s training is not to ‘squeal out’ fellow cavaliers, this is solely intended and applicable against certain regulations, like hazing, liquor and the likes.
“This will not and should not in anyway, justify honor violations (lie, cheat, and steal). These acts are never tolerated. Anyone, even the most junior member of the class/cavaliers is morally obligated to report such violations.
An upperclassman who fails to acknowledge or accept his faith as an honor violator is entitled to be ostracized. An underclass will have the moral authority to act rudely on him! Kahit duraan pa sa mukha.”
Blogger Anne from United Kingdom, a Filipina married to a British military officer, said she finds weird the situation of upperclassmen ganging up on a underclass officer. She said “In theory, senior officers, particularly star-ranking officers don’t gang up on a junior officer in public.
“On the contrary should be the first from among those who are on a lynching mode to calm down the rest of the members of the officers corps, but heck no, in the Philippines, it’s the other way around. Not the officer and gentleman thing to do at all. There’s one word for that: Cowardice.”
Blogger Becky said Trillanes should not worry about those officers threatening not to vote for him in 2013. They did not vote for him in 2007 and he won.
nagpakamatay dahil napahiya?????
that serious….may he rest in peace if he is with God…
trillanes was just being truthful with his statement.. like that
What do they expect, pinakulong nila yung tao for 7 years for speaking out against corruption that they tolerated and even took advantage of? Given the circumstances Trillanes was civil. Why, did he curse anyone, did he use the bs words, did he call anyone names?
At least these old farts and misguided upperclassmen now know the meaning of falling from grace. Trillanes is there to speak for people who cannot speak for themselves, to fight for people who cannot fight for themselves, and how do we effectively deal with these arrogant bastards who believe they are above the law, say “pardon my saying sir, would it be okay for me to ask you to tell us the truth?” at sino naman ang hindi ma ha highblood kung ginagawa kang tanga? Generals, maraming post graduate degrees pa, pag tinatanong tungkol sa pera biglang naging ulyanin? Kung hindi mo mainsulto ewan ko lang.
Absolutely spot on, Jug! Well said!
As a follow on to what Jug has said, it is actually surprising that media, with the exception of incredibly courageous Ellen, has not come to rally around Trillanes!
You would have thought that, finally, here is one junior officer who is taking on a powerful gang of military thieves, all opinion writers, columnists, reporters of the broadcast and print world, and they should be rallying around him, thankful that finally, someone has the enormous courage to do it!
I am simply amazed… sense of values gone awry alright.
Media may not like his gait, his looks, his guts, but by gum, what matters is that he is doing the right thing when it matters most.
If they are looking for an interesting angle to writetheir story, here it is, being served to them on a silver platter: one junior officer, incarcerated for 7 years for denouncing criminal activities in the armed forces, and now taking on a gathering of generals on his own… By gum, there’s one frigging human story to write!
Ha! The nerve of these guys… After all they have done to the military coffers as reported by Trillanes, they now have the gall to ostracize Trillanes for being unCavalier. What’s more unCavalier, dipping into military coffers while your foot soldiers suffer from poor war materiel supplied to them and dying on the battlefield while they line their pockets with gold and silver as reported by Rabusa, or telling the truth as what Rabusa and Heidi and Trillanes did?
I think this is humiliating for us Filipinos… I think that’s why somebody pulled the trigger and died because of that.
This is a dark moment for our country. But, and a big BUT, there is still hope if we collectively learn from this and pull our acts together, make some changes on things run in the handling the military budget, get righteous people at the helm who will ensure that there are no shenanigans happening within their area of responsibility.
I know this is a tough act, but Filipinos are resilient and that resilience and faith in its leaders will turn things around for the better. Otherwise, well, sigh, sigh, sigh…
Back in the day it wasn’t called “arrogance” but “righteous indignation.”
The problem with these generals is that they still see Trillanes as a a petty underclassman. They forget the fact that AT4 is now a civilian elected senator of the republic who’s probing eyes (in aid of legislation) transcends even beyond their questionable ranks. They were so spoiled by Gloria herself they also forgot the supremacy of civilian authority over the military in our system of government.
From Raissa Robles blog:If Trillanes does not destroy himself within the next three years, he will become a strong contender for the presidency in 2016.
Naku, Trillanes will really be a target of attacks. Even among his allies, he will be undermined. They will throw him to the wolves to eliminate him from the race as early as possible.
Nabaligtad na yata ang takbo ng media reports. Has Gloria Arroyo’s demolition teams taken over?
Tama talaga ang kanta ni Gary Granada. Pahiram Mr. Bayonic (from another thread):
“Nanakawan na at naholdap si Juan/Ngunit ang holdaper pa ang pinasalamatan/Nabaon sa utang ang bayan ni Juan/Ngunit ang nagnakaw pa ang pinararangalan.” – Gary Granada
AI, I’m afraid, the criminal gang of military officers who can’t stand Trillanes for doing the right thing are now preparing as we speak to destroy Trillanes.
The Filipino nation and the rest of the good thinking military population should rally around him.
This was the country where the “willies” and the deal makers and the conspirators made it to the top..Trilla might change and establish the new rule..that you got to be strong..rough, and if necessary where the rule of law would not work in your favour…let your rule turn the wheels of justice…just prove it works and hope it will continue to work..
I have no doubt,Anna, that what you said is taking place. I’m sure with a lot of support from Arroyo.
From Raissa Robles blog: “If Trillanes does not destroy himself within the next three years, he will become a strong contender for the presidency in 2016.”
What if Trillanes really becomes the President come 2016? Eh di magiging Commander-In-Chief siya ng buong AFP including the old farts who doesn’t like Trillanes. Ang saya nun, hehehe 🙂
mike,
it will be an extremely uphill battle for him. for one, sa panahon ni gloria hindi lang hanggang general ang biyaya, bumaba hanggang colonel level na. ang nakakatakot niyan kung tanggap na ng marami ang ganitong kalakaran, tapos walang karapatan magmalinis kahit sino, just “wait your turn.”
papayag ba silang mawalan nito?
As far as I know, a presidential bid in 2016 is not among his plans.
yes. its better he doesn’t telegraph his moves. let him do his job in the senate first, he has the advantage of age, baka nga mamamatay na yang mga generals na yan, starting with esperon? sunod na rin si senga
Even as a member of the Senate, a Magdalo officer said they foresee some awkward situations when Trillanes becomes a member of the Commission on Appointments. Many of those upperclass officers will need his consent for their promotions.
Ellen, yes… talks on a possible presidential bid should not be encouraged. Not the right thing to talk about today. Would be doing Trillanes great disfavour to even raise the sceptre of a presidential bid.
“Hero’s burial for Reyes” .. Inquirer
Ano???? Hero ng mga korap na mga Generals!!!!!!:D 😀 😀
I think he has talked with those who have obvious presidential ambition in 2016 to assure them that he won’t be joining the race.
At least may admirer na siya sa senado. (kung kailan tumanda)

Re #21. Tumpak si Gary Granada.
“Nanakawan na at naholdap si Juan/Ngunit ang holdaper pa ang pinasalamatan/Nabaon sa utang ang bayan ni Juan/Ngunit ang nagnakaw pa ang pinararangalan.” – Gary Granada
One can only surmise that those old fogies who hurl insults at Senator Trillanes are guilty of some wrong doing in the AFP. These are the very people who want the truth to be buried with Angelo Reyes. It would be advisable for those generals to find their favorite spot and do the so-called “honorable thing.”
#24
😀 😀 😀
Malaki talaga ang problema ang Bansang Pilipinas ….. ang mga taong pinag-aral sinustentuhan at nong graduweyt may trabaho agad …… pag retire nila … gusto pang hamigin ang perang para sana sa buong hukbo ng sandatahan.
Itong isa ginawa pang isang bayani …. di ba kagaguhan iyan!!!!!!!
Onli in da Pilipins!!!!!! Puweeee !!!! Iniiiiiiis ……
#19. Kaya dapat alamin kung sino among the active officers will denounce him during the PMA homecoming. Kapag dumaan sila sa CA, pwedeng tanungin.
Ginagago tayo ng mga gago!!!!!
Kung totoo man na may rancho si Asperon sa Australia …. bakit hindi ilifestyle check itong taong ito.
Sige birahin na ninyo ng birahin si Trillanes,habang binubugbog siya ng mga alipores ni Reyes lalong dumadami ang taga supporta ni Sonny.
Wala sanang Trillanes noon kung walang Magdalo.Ayan tuloy ang napala nila,Ngayon ingit na ingit sila kay Trillanes lalo na iyung mga heneral na kumandidato sa election na talunan na gumastos ng mga milyones na pabaon.
Si trillanes Senador, sila kahit na “Pantyless Kongressman” ay di nanalo.
Baka gustong maging senador ni Robles kaya siya nag-iingay.
Walang moral leadership sa gobyerno ng pinas, yan ang malaking problema. Yung nangako na lilinis ang gobyerno ang dapat magsalita.
Nararapat lang na magbitiw si penoy na malinaw na mensahe kung sino ang tama sa kaguluhang ito.
Isagani,bakit mo naman gustong magbitiw si Penoy.Kasalanan ba niya itong mga nangyayari. Mabuti nga at wala siyang ipinalabas na EO na huwag sumipot para mag testify sa senado at Kongress tulad ng ginawa ni gloria noon.Ngayon at libre ng magsalita ang lahat at pwedi ng pumito saka mo gustong paailisin si Penoy. Easy ka lang and observe muna tayo.
#36: Cocoy, dapat magsalita si penoy dahil siya ang sinasabing pingakaktiwalaan ng taumbayan. Siya ang ating presidente, ang ating pinuno, gusto o ayaw man.
Ano ba naman ang magagawa ng ating tinig? Oo, mahalaga ito, ngunit sa katotohanan, ang tinig ng presidente ang may tunay na bigat. Lalo na kung siya nga ay pinagkakatiwalaan at pinaniniwalaan ng sambayanan.
At kahit na maraming hindi sangayon sa aking pananaw, wala naman makapgasasabi na walang basehan ang sinasabi ko.
At ito ang tanong ko sa iyo: Masama ba kung magsalita si penoy ukol sa isyung ito? Nangangamba ba kayo na may sabihin siyang di kanais-nais?
Para sa akin, kailangan lang na magsalita siya. Sabihin niya ang posisyun niya.
Sabagay may punto ka Gani..
Nasa poder na ng Senado iyang imbistigayon sa katiwalian sa corruption ng AFP.–http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=657305&publicationSubCategoryId=63
Para sa akin good na iyang Singko baka ma burat pa kung sa larong lucky-9
Nayayabangan ang mga “uli-aning” cavaliers, kapag nasusupal-pal sila, at na mo-monitor ang kanilang mga balukto’t na gawain. Naliligalig ang kanilang mundong lumi-liit dahil ki Sen. Sonny Trillanes, na hulog yata ng tadhana para ipagtangol ang na-aaping si Juan de La Cruz. Ang mga agwat ng kanilang panahon o edad, tama lang ang sabi ni Dr. Jose P. Rizal, na nasa “kabataan ang pag-asa ng Bayan “. Ngayon kung pakikingan natin ang mga uli-aning Heneral, at iba pang mga amoyong-tuta ni GMA, na ikinalat niya bago siya bumaba bilang Pangulo-pangpagulo, dahil sa di pagtug-tug ng Cha-Cha, walang mararating na maganda ang Pilipinas. Kaya kahit pa-paano ki Sen. Sonny Trillanes pa din ako-tayo pa-panig, dahil sa liksi at tapang ng ka-isipan, dala ng kanyang batang ka-anyuan, tunay na may-pagasa. Yuong mga Trapos, magretiro na sila, palyado ng mga utak, katulad ng mga naging DOJ noon, Hello-Garci, may-hilig mag-Joke, at taga-laglag na bicolano,mahilig mag-pa-usok, at yang mga utak ng gulo, nag-bunga sa Edsa-1.
Si PNOY tama lang na nandiyan siya, dahil di siya guma-gawa ng EO-646, na nagbabawal sa kuraptong namumuno sa gobyerno para humarap sa imbistigasyon sa Senado-Kamara. What he is doing is a small step to a greater leap of transformation to the whole nation. Plus sa kanyang admin ang mga ito. Sana isunod ang NFA, ZBN-ZTE, marami pa dyan, katulad ng mga utang ng mga Gobernador-Mayor sa mga Bangko na di na bina-bayaran. The latest trend of events or news are signs of “turning Point” for a change. If only the late Angie Reyes, did not performed the harikiri, the change will be more quicker.
To the old general farts, inggit lang kayo!
Lahat ng mga nagiingay ngayon kontra kay Trillianes, dapat i-lifestyle check yang mga yan. For sure may mansion o rancho somewhere else at ang mga anak eh US at Europe pa nagaaral at puro designer bags ang suot ng mga Mrs at jetsetter pati.
The journalists who are making Angie a hero are still on the bansot’s payroll. The bansot prepared for this, that she and all those with her during her reign will be persecuted and ridiculed, which they rightfully deserve. Kaya nandyan pa yung spookswoman niyang si Horn(may sungay). Sinungaling itong si Horn, sabi niya hindi daw kinausap ni bansot si Angie before he killed himself.
Para sa akin, Pnoy does not have to TALK. What for? Ang importante, he is allowing the process of probing these corrupt generals. That to me is enough.
Nuong panahon ni bansot, salita siya ng salita but we all knew that she did all the things oppossite to what she said.
Agree with PSB.
If Aquino talks about this at this stage, he might be seen as meddling and giving it a more political colour than it already has — let Congress do what they have to do. The Executive branch has other things to do. It’s not going to be more advantageous to Trillanes.
The shithead is full of “maybes” and “I don’t knows”. His wife goes on a shopping spree for houses and he didn’t know how she did it, he receives millions and gives them to Reyes, he says doesn’t remember… he’s not sure of anything or knows anything except when it was time to steal millions.
For a man whose brain seems to be the size of a pea, how the hell did he get those 3 stars on his shitty shoulders? Maybe, from a vending machine?
Off for a few days, off to the country to see what builders are up to; no access to the net… ciao and have fun all ye lovers!
Trillanes to Reyes, “ If you are so concerned about your name, you should have fixed yourself while you were in office! This is the time of reckoning. You better find very good lawyers….You have no reputation to protect!”
Totoo naman a, masakit talaga! Sa hirap na dinanas ng Magdalo, Tanay boys at kasundaluhan sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Gloria Arroyo na sinang-ayunan ni Reyes, tama na isampal sa mukha nya ang katotohanan na wala syang honor! Angie benefited most from Glorias corrupt rule. He was made heads of important and rich agencies, hindi sya nawalan ng trabaho at pagkakakorapan. Korek, he embraced corruption ‘partly’ but in effect en toto naman. Pakamatay na lang kayo lahat na useless Cavaliers para kahit konti ay magkarun ng cleansing sa militar!
Boycott Trillanes? You did it already in 2007 election panalo pa rin kami…irrelevant kayo hoy!
Nararapat lang na magbitiw si penoy na malinaw na mensahe kung sino ang tama sa kaguluhang ito. – isagani
robles, is that you? mukhang kailngan mo pa ng mahabang pahinga at nasobrahan ka ata sa puyat dahil sa burol ng bff mo…
yung utos nya na magibestiga ang DND at DOJ? na sabihin ng malacanan na huwag mag close door session sa senate hearing… hindi pa ba malinaw na mensahe yan syo..
At ito ang tanong ko sa iyo: Masama ba kung magsalita si penoy ukol sa isyung ito? Nangangamba ba kayo na may sabihin siyang di kanais-nais?
masama! re reyes case, nasa imbestigation phase pa lang ang issue… wala sa lugar at hindi pa napapanahon magsalita ang presidente kung sino ang tama o mali… isa pa, hindi sya pwde makialam, remember, separation of powers… senate and house ang nagiimbestiga…
I’m not bothered with the said lack of demeanor of Trillanes in dealing with Reyes because he spoke the truth. Sabi ko nga, the ordinary kapinuyan are happy that he did it.
If the Cavaliers and ‘sophisticated’ pinoys like Tulfo were hurt, it’s because they’re resisting change in the country’s culture of corruption, they’re scared of the likes of Trillanes and Lacson in the Senate. Let them continue to be afraid, it’s time to undergo much needed change even it kills all the koraps. Who cares?!
As a follow on to what Jug has said, it is actually surprising that media, with the exception of incredibly courageous Ellen, has not come to rally around Trillanes!- Anna
Marami pang jukebox kings/queens sa kanila. Magkano kaya ang pondo para sa demolition job kay Trillanes?
Nandito ako sa barrio ngayon, alam ko ang feelings ng ordinaryong pinoy as to Trillanes. Go go go Sen. Sonny!
Magsuntukan na lang sila Trillanes at Esperon.Kay Trillanes ang pusta ko.
naloko na, magbitiw daw ng salita si presidente.
eh heto nga binigyan na nila ng kulay, pakawala daw ni presidente si trillanes? talaga naman.
hayaan na lang niya magtrabaho ang mga to, at pakawalan niya din di Lacson (joke lang). 🙂
Cocoy: Hahaha…sana ganun lang kadali..kay Sonny rin ako.
Chi,
hindi raw marunong sumuntok si Esperon sabi ni Pareng Magno.Nakita raw ni pareng Magno ng dyumingil si Esperon kaya ayun.. sa kanya nangaling ang “Supot” ewan ko lang kung anong supot ang ibig sabihin ng kumpare natin.
Nasaan na ba si pareng Magno?
“Let’s boycott Trillanes in the next national election. Be a wise voter!”
Hahahaha! wala pa yata kayong dalawang daan,kumpara sa 10M mahigit na bumuto sa kanya.
Hindi pa nag-init ang upuan ni Trillanes sa senado may nagbaril na.Si lapid butas na ang silya niya sa haba ng pagkaupo at nagkaroon na siya ng almoranas.
I would rather support a “tactless” senator who bluntly spoke out the truth about corruption in AFP rather than an acclaimed” hero who took his own life to bury the truth to “save” the organization that he was part of. It is in the belief that Reyes buried the truth with him that those who were participants of the corrupt system, are now rejoicing and praising their “hero” to the high heavens — even to the point of saying that suicide is an honorable death. As Ligot said, Reyes made the supreme sacrifice… For whom? Coming from him, Reyes’ death makes it more apparent that he died in the hope that truth will never come out. I hope and pray that his death would, instead, intensify people’s quest for truth and that more people would come out and join the expose on corruption in government as a whole, not just the AFP.
Pakawala daw ni PNoy si Trillanes, ulol sila! Kung meron akong hinangaan kay Pnoy ay isa pa lang…ang kanyang hindi pakikialam sa imbestigasyong ito ng korapsyon.
Haha! Mas laking tuwa ko kung pakawala nga ni PNoy si Trillanes. It’s about time he uses the young Senator’s talents and skills to combat corruption.
Umiikot ang pwet ng mga lintik na koraps!
Cocoy, pareng Magno mo nahuli ng kompanya na nagbababad sa Ellenville kaya pinutol ang internet. 🙂
Paano makikipag-suntukan si Asspweron kay Trillanes e supot ang una, ayon kay Magno na nakakakilala sa kanya. hehe..
Sige pa Sonny, insultuhin mo pa ang mga unggoy na generals na yan para lahat sila magpakamatay. I hope one of them will have a “suicide bomber” mentality para mag-blow na lang sila ng bomba sa harap ni bansot, si fatso at ang kanyang mga biik. Para mabawas bawasan ang mga demonyo sa mundo!
Esperon,mayabang kasi nagsasabi ng totoo si Trillanes? E di mayabang na! Kesa naman korap tulad nyong mga generals na galit ke Trillanes. Ang magagalit lang sa gumagawa ng mabuti e yung gumagawa ng masama. Ika nga, “birds of a feather,flock together.” Kaya magsama-sama kayong mga korap na generals at lahat ng magnanakaw sa gobyerno,ayaw kong ipagdasal na me mangyari ding hindi maganda sa inyo,pero hindi natutulog ang Diyos! Me paghuhukom! Bwahaha….
I got this note from former PC-INP Chief Ramon Montaño (then the PC was still one of the major services of the AFP) – PMA Class ’58.
nakakasiguro ba kayo na hindi corrupt si Trillanes? Mag check kaya kayo ng mga empleyado niya sa senado mga recruiter ng magdalo para sa susunod na election saan kinukuha ang pang gastos para sa pa sweldo ng mga taong nagre recruit sa magdalo pera ng taong bayan na nagtatrabaho ng maayos at kinakaltasan ng buwis gumising naman kayo.
Another one from Gen. Montaño:
To Sen. Trillanes, we salute you. Carry on.
We need more Montanos. Please come out now so Trillianes will have the support to go on with his fight against the corrupt generals and their patrons.
thats good news ellen!
now that the upperclassmen of trillanes’ upperclassmen are supporting him, they are bound to respect seniority (kung maron sila nun?) either way, mas pakikinggan nila si oldest brother… hehehe 🙂
With reference to #64 (on General Montano’s comments), what Senator Trillanes did in Oakwood was the Honorable Way; what Angelo Reyes did was the Cowards’ Way.
Si Reyes pa nga itong nagpakita na wala siyang paggalang sa institution na pinanggalingan niya, ayaw mag “alright”, nag lie, cheat, steal and tolerating pa.
Tapos si Trillanes pa ngayon ang sumisira sa institution? hala ka, bumaliktad na ang mundo?
Baka pag hindi nila na realize yan, magiging “we the cadets do not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate those who do so but if we do we must be very fast?”
Gen. Montano, apir po! 🙂
Nagsalita ang hindi mayabang! Si asspweron na ang pinaka-mayabang na CS na nakita ko! Everybody knows that he was one of the “smooth operators” in the 2004 election cheating for the bansot! Nagmamalinis pa ang isang ito. Hmp! If Angie booted out Erap in favor of bansot, this corrupt esperon aided BIGTIME in the election cheating of the bansot. Kaya pwede ba asspweron, tumahimik ka na! I hope you will be the next one to take your own life. This time blow your “utak pulburon” out!
Oo nga pala si Asspweron could be involved. If I remember correctly sabi daw ni Angelo Reyes ay nilalaglag na daw siya. Now he knows what Erap felt.
bakit ang titikas ng mukha ng mga generals na ito na mag-deny. wala ba silang konting konsensya man lang sa dami ng mga ninakaw nilang pera! ang galing ni angelo reyes, siya pa ngayon ang mukhang hero! hindi rin!
psb 66: That’s why never believe in these so-called brothehood of any kind, the semper fi’s, masons, mormons, blood brothers kuno, the mafia’s code; at one time or another they kill each other…oh even catholics pummel their own…just look around you.
Ellen, is this probe of Reyes’ stolen loot and properties bought domestic and abroad will just come to a dead stop. Many foreign correspondents are keeping abreast of these ongoing greed and corruption probe in our country, and if the government will just ignore these anomalies, there really is no hope in our motherland. And as Yuko always said: kawawang bansa.
It is really surprising, as Ms Anna DeBrux said, that the media, majority of them, has not said anything good about Senator Trillanes. In fact, I read the commentaries of the columnists in major newspapers and even tabloids and most of them has not even said a single good thing about the senator. There is one particular newspaper where their editorial and columnists have collectively blamed the senator. Could it be that they still believe in the last administration?
Now that these pabaon is out in the open…baka wala ng gustong maging CS. It’s probably race to PNP Chief na lang, at least may hueteng kurakot pa rin…daming yumaman sa hueteng.
Those men in uniform, active and retired, are not just reacting wildly (blaming the death of Reyes) on AT4 for his “tactless” remarks, but they know that same statement also applies to them.
All of you don’t have reputations to protect!
Regardless of “the good reason and the real reason” that the public now gets to see some faces of the “officers and gentlemen” who have become so adept in rationalizing their entitlement to what is not theirs in the first place – these very “officers” who consciously allow the “lowly” foot soldiers to suffer and die needlessly in fighting and dying for our sovereignty and democracy –
Any of the former CoS, active and retired generals who openly declare a statement of support for Sen. Trillanes crusade against the termites in the AFP, is the only ones who still have a healthy doze of what their beloved alma mater code of honor has instilled in them.
As for the rest, in silence, they tolerate cheating, lying and stealing.
With your stolen millions, you may be able to afford a hack to write a distorted history of your “service, dedication and loyalty” to the flag and the “institution,” but your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will eventually learn and realize the truth about you.
You do not protect a reputation, you live it.
Why blame Sen Trillanes?… kung ayaw ninyo mainsulto wag kayong gumawa ng mga bagay na pagsisihan nyo sa huli.. dis generals ngayon ay halatang halata na takot kay trillanes.. baka may kinalaman din sila sa corruption sa militar,. kung ako sa inyo magpakamatay na rin kayo. tapos nananakot pa kayo na nde nyo iboboto c trillanes sa 2013 election,. hay nako nde nga kayo bumoto nung 2007 pos nanalo pa rin c trillanes.. MORON..
http://www.gmanews.tv/story/212988/trillanes-denies-linking-arroyo-to-afp-corruption
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV on Monday clarified that he never directly linked former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to alleged corruption in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
“I never named anybody, it was fed into me,” Trillanes told reporters in an interview on Monday.
He made the clarification after he was quoted as saying that the Senate investigation on the alleged AFP corruption may be expanded to look into the possible involvement of those in Malacañang during the time of Arroyo.
“I said it’s not far fetched… it’s not the same as I named her,” he said.
naku AT4, ingat sa pagiging taklesa at agresibo! dyan ka madidisgrsya…
Kung magsasalita lang si Garcia ay mapapatunayan na involved nga ang putot at baboy! Muntik na syang kumanta deprensya ay na-meet ng baboy ang kanyang gusto. Kung ayaw nyang magsalita ng totoo, gumaya na lang sya kay Angie total wala talaga syang kwenta pang mabuhay. Letse na Garcia!
#38 Para sa akin good na iyang Singko baka ma burat pa kung sa larong lucky-9 – cocoy.
Aptly put, cocoy. Iyan, sa pakilasa ko ang damdamin ngayon. Di naman masisi kung titingnan sa mga nakaraang nakalilitong salita ni penoy.
Eto nga lang, kung puri ng puri lang na wala namang tunay na dahilan, lumalabas si penoy na emperador na hubad!
maraming Pilipino ang naghihirap dahil sa corruption. ang kapal ng mukha kung gumawa ng kawalanghiyaan, atapang a tao… balat sibuyas naman kung ma-imbestigahan, atakbo atulin.

Funny, but I remembered during the Peninsula siege, it was Montaños son’s wedding and the reception was held there in Manila Peninsula. 😛
Ellen,
His lack of tack aside, magulo yata ang mga pahayag ni Trillanes.
On January 18, Reyes was not the powerful person behind Garcia.
Then, for some reason known only to Trillanes, Rabusa’s testimony on January 27 changed that. On February 2, Trillanes pinned down Reyes as Garcia’s padrino.
But we know now that Rabusa never knew Garcia’s protector. I am assuming here Rabusa told the truth.
And now we have here Trillanes turning around, retracting what he said, claiming that Reyes was not Garcia’s protector but only one of the principals. But the question now is what is the difference between a principal and protector?
What can you say about Enrile and Honasan’s (one of Trillanes’ sponsor) admonishment to Trillanes?
If Trillanes doesn’t shape up, siya ang babagsak dito.
Also, Trillanes claimed that Malacanang knows the identity of this person, but PNoy denied such claim.
What is going on here?
Pinagpipilitan ni Robles na sinabi sa kanya ni Reyes na he was subjected to grilling, referring to Pandak’s phone call. Putot was insisting to know if Reyes’ letter-carrier was ex-GMA aide and ex-classmate of Trillanes, LtCmdr. Chris Magdangal. Magdangal must be extremely important to Gloria she must be sure he is still in her side during these times.
This angle must be pursued vigorously, my crystal ball says he just might be the key to Gloria’s link to the AFP Fund scandal. Being her military aide and one who could camouflage himself among his co-soldiers in the camps, a bagman’s role in stealth mode is a big possibility. You don’t expect Putot or her husband carrying around suitcases filled with hundreds of millions, do you? An aide does that.
I wonder why no journalist has picked it up, even after Rabusa has provided the clue. Waiting for the spoon-feeding?
Ang mga GERMS-NERAL talaga oh! oh! mahirap talaga sa kanila na tangapin na naglampasan sila ni Sonny. Esperon may ipagyayabang ba siya at isa rin siyang tuta ni bansot.
Re #91. Trillanes said Malacanang, not PNoy.
Maybe Trillanes relayed the info to one official there. Whether that official relayed it to Pnoy, that’s another thing.
Don’t get confused, NFA rice. I will repeat what I have posted here earlier, also as explained by Ellen. This is also for those who missed that post.
Trillanes and Garcia shared the Crame stockade for some time (years). It is safe to assume that they shared some secrets including that of Garcia’s protectors. When Trillanes asked Garcia in the hearing if he plans to help the Senate in the investigation, he will be supported. But Garcia rejected the offer outright and even said “I will not turn state witness”.
Fine. Even if Trillanes knows the real mastermind, who will collaborate his accusation? Not Garcia. So when he was asked after the hearing who the protectors were, he just said, “According to Rabusa’s testimony, Reyes was one of them.” Note, this is different from saying “Reyes was one of them” without the first phrase.
I don’t know how you concluded that “we now know that Rabusa never knew Garcia’s padrino” when it was during Reyes’ time as DND Sec. that Garcia was promoted to the Comptrollership.
Those who succeeded Reyes in the CSAFP position didn’t have the chance to change the Comptroller because their stints would last only for months, no choice but to retain Garcia if they wanted to perpetuate the welcome-cum-monthly allowance-cum-pabaon system. Appointing a new Comptroller would be risky. It is Gloria who appoints CSAFP, and the short term tours-of-duty is highly suspect.
That removes all of Reyes’ successors at the CSAFP as Garcia’s main padrino, leaving only DND Sec. Reyes and Gloria herself as the culprits.
Having failed to get an official confession from Garcia to implicate Gloria or anyone else in Malacañang, while Rabusa was providing the details of the scam done right at the nose of Reyes, both in Ligot’s and Garcia’s time, either as CSAFP of DND Sec., and none yet of Arroyo, logic dictates that the only plausible answer to the interview was Reyes, but only according to the testimony just heard.
#92 Tounge, agree ako sa crystal ball mo… yan din ang mga sinasabi ng mga bituin na nakikita ko sa kalangitan… malamang, naunahan ni gloria si AT4 sa serbisyo ni magdangal kaya biglang kambyo si AT4 sa #82…
sabi din ni Rabusa dati.. may ebidensya na magli-link kay Gloria… pero biglang bawi din… haay!!! supreme sacrifice talga tong si Reyes…
NFA, please do your homework, huwag manghula…

Noy on AFP protector: Let DOJ build case
By Delon Porcalla (The Philippine Star) Updated February 15, 2011 12:00 AM]MANILA, Philippines –
President Aquino knows who the protector of corruption in the military is but is leaving it to the Department of Justice (DOJ) to build a strong case and ensure a successful prosecution.
“I have my ideas but I am the Chief Executive, I execute the laws of the land, and part and parcel of that is you do not bring accusations without the corresponding evidence already in hand,” Aquino told Palace reporters in a chance interview.
“It will be up to the secretary of justice and other members of the legal team to determine what cases can be filed and should be filed, and then in what sequence we should be filing them to afford the maximum chances of conviction so that these things will not be repeated,” he maintained.
“Once we are ready, it will be the DOJ that will be at the forefront of filing the necessary cases,” he said.

guys, nasa attack mode na ang mga bata natin… 🙂
wala pa si general lim niyan
Naunahan mo ako jug, hinahanap ko yang item na yan, iba nakuha ko.
Tama ka diyan, jug. Rabusa’s first testimnoy said it was Gen. Danny Lim’s group (whatever group it was) that was convincing him to come out in the open. He claims the decision to testify was a last-minute one since only two days earlier, he was asked by Reyes to coach him on how to answer some of the questions and he did and even got a P10,000 tip from Reyes.
Palaban talaga tong si Trillanes, nakakahawa pa naman, pati si presidente hindi na rin takot sa mga generals. Dati parang hawak nila sa leeg ang presidente.
“And if you would remember how we were treated during the Manila Pen incident, did these upperclassmen condemn the behavior of some of the cavaliers in how a duly elected senator is going to be treated? No. Well anyway, these upperclassmen who have turned their backs on the honor code of the PMA, this can be isolated into less than 10 people, and sadly I cannot give that upperclass-underclass tradition primacy,” the senator said.
Okey lang ulit-ulitin natin yung facts dito, para merong all-in-one source pag dating ng panahon na meron na tayong memory lapses. Heheh.
tt,
medyo madugo to. ano kaya ang position ng PMAAA, for sure kailangan nilang mag release ng statement, abangan.
Vicious talaga yung media attack kay Trillanes. Kaninong campaign headquarters kaya yan? Ang layo pa ng 2013, demolition na agad. Kunsabagay si Villar, dalawang taon pa ang eleksyon nakaka isang bilyon na ang gastos.
Halata namang bereft of substance maliban doon sa arrogance (as if hindi arogante si Reyes o maging si Gloria).
Shooting the messenger with blanks.
pagtatanggalin na nila lahat ng senior positions at ipalit yung kagagraduate lang sa GSC.
#35
Isagani, nabasa mo na yong headline ng Tribune ….. Hindi raw priority ni Bugok kung sino ang protector ni Garcia …..
Kung ganun hindi rin niya priority si Glorya ….. marami daw problema ng Bansa … kanya’t kalimutan niyo na lang lahat …. walan manyayari ….. okinana.
Ang priority niya ay yong magbibili ng magagarang sasakyan at manligaw. Istorbo lang yan ng buhay niya.
isa lang, kahit isa lang dyan sa mga yan ma sentensiyahan, babaligtad lahat ang mga upperclassmen na yan, at biglang dadami ang kaibigan ni trillanes.
Meron nang statement, pero yun lang present superintendent, hindi alumni association. Mas meron kang clues diyan. Sa tatlong kaibigan kong pumasok, isa lang nakatapos, isang nag-quit, isang namatay sa hazing.
Senator Trillanes was being true to the values he CORRECTLY learned from PMA:
This for the reader who won’t bother clicking on the PMA Motto Link:
INTEGRITY is a man’s delicate asset. It is hard to keep it untarnished in a world that seethes with profligate vices and degenerate crimes. Yet if he can keep it unstained inspite of the malignant forces of evil, he has passed man’s greatest ordeal.
It is needless to theorize, it is superfluous to expostulate on the advisability of possessing an integrity that defies reproach. What does it profit a man if he has the whole world trampled under his iron heels but is a moral wreck? The military profession is one profession that demands an extremely high degree of integrity.
A man of low morals and weak principles unindoctrinated in the rules of upright living and good conduct is a hateful pest that is unwanted in the army and in society as a whole. We hear of antrocious crimes committed by unprincipled soldiers in time of war. Crimes of unfold vulgarity and meanness that we blush when we hear of them.
Those soldiers had courage; they had loyalty. But they lacked that one vital virtue: INTEGRITY. In the absence of this manly quality, they became a curse of humanity instead of professed protectors of the weak and the defenseless. Such is the importance of integrity in men who live by the sword.
LOYALTY, however, does not contenance blind obedience. It does not approve of obnoxious officiousness.
Loyalty – yes, but not fawning and cringing servility. It is loyalty that is wise and discreet, not enslaving and debasing.
Tagal nga e. Yan ngayon ang sigaw ng madlang-pipol, “Sampol! Sampol! Sampol!”
Kabanas, eto na sana si Garcia, wala nang kawala, e nag-plea bargain? Namfootah oo.
Ayan, nasa news kakasuhan ng graft yung mga special prosecutors. Problema pa rin, kay Gutierrez kasi ang bagsak ng kasong graft. Paano yun e siya ang nakapirma sa plea bargain?
RE #110: Si Rabusa nga walang kumakanti e. Takot lang nila. Sa dami ng magsu-suicide, sumosyo ka na sa amin ni Anna, magtatayo kami ng punerarya. Lol.
Done deal na yang kay Garcia, magaling is gloria, no loose ends kung magtrabaho. Iba na talaga pag maraming pera.
Kung hindi lang gumawa ng amnesty sila ngayon baka nga tatanda sila trillanes et al sa kulungan.
#109 Tedanz, parehas lang yang balita na yan sa link na binigay ni Jug sa #98.. magkaiba lang ng headline, magkaiba tuloy ang dating ng balita sa tao… don sa link sa #98, maiintindihan mo kung bakit sinabing hindi priority ang protektor ni Garcia…
perl,
ang Tribune anti Noynoy talaga yan, pro Gloria siguro. ang baba pa ng circulation, sino pa ba nagbabasa niyan?
Actually, Trillanes has been consistent with his statements.
He never said Reyes was the powerful person Gen. Garcia is fronting for. He said Reyes is one of the principals of Garcia and Ligot, as testified to by Col. Rabusa. It was only some members of the media, particularly the Inquirer, who said that it was Reyes.
Also, he never retracted what he said about Reyes. He clarified that Reyes was not the powerful person (i.e., the mastermind) he was referring to because he never said that in the first place. He tried to explain that he said Reyes is one of the principals (and not the mastermind) apparently because Reyes was the Secretary of Defense at that time and because Col. Rabusa has in fact testified that he received money from Garcia and Rabusa. However, the media particularly the Inquirer made it appear that he retracted his previous statement (and even elicited Mrs. Garcia’s reaction to the alleged retraction).
Kaya nagkakaloko loko, the media, particularly the Inquirer always tries to spin whatever he says to come up with a more controversial statement rather than just report on what he is actually saying.
This again happened with his statement regarding the AFP fund mess. He was asked by a reporter if he thought the controversy could lead to the palace (meaning GMA). I remember his answer distinctly… He said: That is not far fetched… We will bring this to wherever the evidence will lead to! He was merely responding to the question of a reporter and merely spoke about the possibility that the mess could lead all the way to Malacancang. Yet when it was reported in the papers, it was made to appear that he already named Arroyo. Hence, the response from Arroyo’s vultures.
You have to understand… Trillanes also has to be very careful. He cannot just make baseless allegations which he cannot back up with solid evidence. Otherwise, as JPE said, he is exposing himself to possible disciplinary action.
Huwag lang po tayong mainip… Remember that session only opened last January 17… That means Trillanes has been in the Senate for barely a month now. I have it on good authority that he is gathering evidence and bidding his time and he will name names when he is ready to back it up with solid, incontrovertible evidence. Let’s cut the guy some slack… Kararating Lang niya sa Senado from detention… Darating din tayo doon!
perl,
tawag diyan “slanting the story.”
Plaridel, actually, that was his debut on the floor. If I’m not mistaken, his amnesty application had just been approved by Noynoy that same day.
and what an entrance!
yun talaga ang “hit the ground running!” 🙂
heto pa

Aquino: I know Garcia backers
‘Once we’re ready, DoJ will file cases’
By Christine O. Avendaño, Marlon Ramos, Alcuin Papa
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 00:44:00 02/15/2011
MANILA, Philippines—It’s just a matter of time before Malacañang cracks down on those behind retired Maj. Gen. Carlos Garcia, a former military comptroller accused of plunder, President Benigno Aquino III said Monday.
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20110215-320316/Aquino-I-know-Garcia-backers
You are right Tounge T!
I remember now, that was the day of the first Senate hearing on the Garcia plea bargain was the day he took his oath of allegiance before Sec. Gazmin of the DND, the final act before his amnesty application was considered approved. He actually came in with his guns blazing!
Actually, in fairness to Trillanes, I saw the video of that first Senate hearing and he was actually very restrained and very courteous when he asked Gen. Reyes his questions about his role in the release of funds in the AFP. He calmly asked his questions and repeatedly address Gen. Reyes as Sir, apparently in recognition of the fact that he was a senior of his at the PMA.
It was only when Reyes tried to take over the proceedings by insisting on cross examining Rabusa after Rabusa’s pabaon and allowance testimony that Trillanes sharply reacted because he apparently felt that Reyes was already badgering Rabusa. Also, please note that Reyes was not prevented from defending his “honor”. He was in fact allowed by the Senators to give a long monologue even after the heated exchange with Trillanes to give him a chance to defend his “honor”. It’s all in the video. Unfortunately, the networks have so edited the video to emphasize the “sound bites” and made it appear that Reyes was treated badly and was not allowed to defend his honor.
Cadets oath yon…noong cadete pa sila…pero iba na ngayon…generals na sila! matatanda na sila kailangan nila ang pabaon sa kanilang hukay…
Sabi ni Angelo Reyes dun sa kanyang huling rough draft, eh Tinyente pa lang daw siya naabutan na niya ang bulok na sistema sa AFP, na hindi niya inangalan at nagpaanod na lang. Hindi tulad nila Trillanes et al na nilaban ang kabulukan ng minamahal nilang organisasyon kesehodang pagdusahan nila sa kulungan. Obvious na mga taong cancer cell sa AFP ang mga taong nagpakulong sa kanila. Kung noon pa pala ang sistema eh sino-sino ba ang mga opisyales nung Tinyente pa lang si Reyes? Si FVR? Biazon (kaya tahimik?)Sino-sino ang mga NAGKAKANULO sa bayan! TREASON!
“An upperclassman who fails to acknowledge or accept his faith as an honor violator is entitled to be ostracized. An underclass will have the moral authority to act rudely on him! Kahit duraan pa sa mukha.”
Kaya nung sinabi ni Trillanes kay Reyes na ‘you have no reputation to protect’ eh mas mabuti at tamer pa nga kaysa dinuran siya sa mukha.
@Ellen #94,
Strange.
@TonGuE-tWisTeD,
You are not answering my question. Nagkamali ba ang newspapers when they reported Trillanes pinning down Reyes? It looks like Trillanes is making up accusations as he goes along.
Jug ang Tribune pro ERAP at Enrile yan. I used to read the editorials but I stopped. They were just defending Erap all the time.
Palagay ko pinagtutulung-tulungan na itong si Trillanes. Takot sila kasi pagdating sa 2016 ilalampaso sila lahat ni Trillanes kung tuloy tuloy itong ipinapakita niya sa sambayanan. Kahit si Bugok niyong Pangulo ayaw emeksena kasi nga ang dapat na i-build-up niya ay etong si Roxas na isa ring walang kuwenta.
Sa mga Senator ang dami diyang nangangarap.
Gusto ko siya na maging Pangulo kaysa dito sa hindi lang Bugok … kwek kwek pa.
Sana hindi magbago itong batang Senator … ituloy mo lang at ang sambayanan ay laging nasa likod mo.
Was Angie the DND chief when the Magdalos staged the Oakwood incident? If he was, then if Trillianes said hurtful things to him, putting one in incarceretion for over 7, mahigit pa sa pinaka mabigat na mura ang dapat kay Angie. Kaya nga naging general si Angie becuse he withstood all the difficult wars in the AFP. If he was hurt by the blunt words of Trillianes, bakla siya!
From Inquirer.net “At the Club Filipino in San Juan City, former state auditor Heidi Mendoza challenged Robles to reveal the identity of the “high-profile individual” who profited from the coffers of the AFP to the tune of P350 million.”
Mukhang nabadding si Robles dito. Oo nga naman put-up or shut-up.
On Aquino saying something: Ok nagsalita din. It could have been a strong message. Problem is he plays with so many details that the message is lost, if not diluted. Typical penoy style.
#117, jug, yung headline na nabanggit ni tedanz na galing tribune na hindi prioriy ni Pnoy yung protektor ni Garcia, parehas ng headline sa gmanews.tv. nakakapgtaka lang, nawala na yung link na yun nung binalikan ko at napalitan nito:
http://www.gmanews.tv/story/212972/pnoy-getting-garcias-protector-a-question-of-timing
nagcomment pa nga ako don sa article, madami ding nagpost na galit sa statement na “not priority”…
narealized siguro ng GMA News na misleading yung headline kaya tinanggal at pinalitan…
#130 Tedanz, remind ko lang… kung hindi dahil dyan sa bugok naming presidente hindi makakalaya at makakaporma si Trillanes na gusto mong maging presidente…
perl,
okay lang yun. kung kailangang maging bugok ka para hindi matakot sa mga generals na to samantalang karamihan ng naging presidente nanginginig sa takot at bayad na lang nang bayad, eh, bugok na rin ako, kasama na sa ilang milyong bugok na bumoto sa kanya.
malaking sugal tong ginagawa niya, ipagdasal na lang natin na makayanan niya to.
PSB #132 Was Angie the DND chief when the Magdalos staged the Oakwood incident?
Yes, he was the DND chief. His removal from office was one of the demands of the Magdalo in that Oakwood incident.
NFA Rice, re #129. Klaro naman yata sa explanation ni Tongue that Trillanes was taken out of context.
Naintindihan ko na nakakahilo talaga ang media. Lalo pa kapag palpak ang reporting. Take it from me, NFA Rice at taga-media ako.
One of the aims of this blog is to clarify issues. That’s what I have been doing in my columns.
Ipinapaliwanag na ni Tongue at ni Plaridel. Naipaliwanag ko na rin sa aking article.
Sa iyo na yun kung gusto mo maliwanagan.
#135 jug,
mukhang sanay na si PNoy sa ganyang sugal.. wala na sigurong hihirap sa pinagdaanan ng pamilya nila noong panahong nakakulong at napatay tatay nya at noong panahong nanunungkulan bilang presidente nanay nya…
optimistic ako sa mga nangyayari, pkiramdam ko malapit na natin matamasa ang pinapangarap na reporma hindi lamang sa AFP. Kung inaalala mo kudeta ng mga heneral, palagay ko hindi mangyayari yan. gusto mo ba nila magaya kay Angelo Reyes? si reyes na mismo nagsabi sa “last words” nya… pagkakamali ang ginawa nyang pagtalikod sa kanyang “Commander in Chief”…
sa pagpapakamatay ni Reyes, patunay ito na kontrolado ni PNoy ang sitwasyon… sa pamamagitan ni De Lima sa DOJ at Gazmin sa DND… dahil hindi naman magpapakamatay si Reyes kung iniisip nyang mkakalusot sya…
ang kongreso at senado, umaksyon kung ano ang nararapat..
ang ombudsman at judiaciary na lang problema… pero umaasa akong malapit na din sila sumunod sa reporma..
Ahh soo… the implicated generals are now pouncing on Trillanes. These nitwits are dimwits. They think the Filipinos are as dimwitted as they are.
They think we do not understand what they did and what Trillanes, Rabusa and Heidi et al are trying to do. Clean up the smelly Aegean stables of the AFP that these corrupt generals created.
Now they’re circling the wagons to protect themselves. Won’t help. The time of reckoning is not on Trillanes but on the whole lot of you and your patrons and patroness.
Let’s support Sen. Trillanes till the end, we should not allow these rotten Generals to over power our young cavaliers who only fight for the truth. Sen. Trillanes did the right thing in the senate inquiry. For EVIL to triumph, people never done anything to STOP IT.
Its quite perplexing why some media sources are trying so hard to push Trillanes “flip flopping” on Reyes’ issue. They take one sentence and slant it anyway they want, you have to study the whole issue and take hold of the facts first or else you get led by the nose (like me before).
Why not focus on Reyes’ obvious reaction to the senate hearing, instead of categorically denying, he wanted to grill Rabusa instead but not on the issue of his taking money but his being generous? He was trying to say Rabusa was an ingrate so it seems? and most in the media didn’t pick up on this? Instead they pick up on the “disrespectful” young, arrogant senator? Personalan na ba to?
Its as if the “Inquirer” reporter is taking it upon himself to be the defense attorney of Reyes’ and he’s discrediting Trillanes.

MANILA, Philippines – Alarmed over the allegations of corruption in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) as exposed by Ret. Col. George Rabusa, the Philippine Military Academy Alumni Association (PMAAA) came out with a manifesto of support for the on-going investigation of the House and the Senate on the allegations of corruption in the military.
In their manifesto, they also said that they are supporting the initiatives of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of National Defense (DND) to create fact-finding and investigating bodies to address their concerns.
They also affirmed their continued support for the AFP leadership. and called on fellow PMA graduates to remain true and loyal to their sworn duties to the Filipino people and Constitution.

Takot pati SC ni Gloria sa tao kaya pinayagan nila kasi konektado ang ombudswitch sa plea bargain ni Garcia. Naisip ng mga injustices na halatadong masyado na tutu sila ng bitch kung isasalba nilang muli si Maldita.
Sana ay naiisip ng SC members and limitasyon ng paghalik nila sa mabahong pwet ni Gloria or else they will “have no reputation to protect” also pareho ni Reyes.
Nandito pala kayong lahat. I posted my comments on the other thread on the Ombudsgirl. Once she is out, the bansot will BE IN JAIL SOON!
It is about time these justices woke up and listened to what the people are clamoring for. Nagulantang siguro sila sa pagkamatay ni Reyes. If they do not give justice to the people soon, there will be more lawlessness. Thank you justices that you have not blindfolded both of your eyes forever.
Thanks Ellen. Now I understand the position of Trillianes on Angie Reyes. If I were in Sonny’s shoes, I would have done worse sa galit ko.
No wonder Sonny was so passionate in getting to the bottom of the corruption issues in the AFP. Angie probably thought that Trillianes was still the subordinate who was in jail all these time. He was wrong!

‘Military converted P179-B fund under GMA’
By Jess Diaz (The Philippine Star) Updated February 15, 2011 12:00 AM Comments (131)
MANILA, Philippines – The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) might have “converted” into slush funds a total of P179.4 billion during the Arroyo administration, Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Neri Colmenares said yesterday.
Colmenares tried to link former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, now a congresswoman representing Pampanga’s second district, to these supposed conversions.
“Where did all this money go, and in all those years, did GMA know nothing about it?” he asked.
Citing figures taken from the annual budgets between 2002 and 2010, Colmenares said the P179.4 billion represents excess appropriations for salaries given by Congress to the AFP-Department of National Defense (DND).
He said the legislature appropriated a total of P343.4 billion for “personal services” or PS (the budget language for salaries), while total compensation requests by the DND-AFP amounted to slightly over P164 billion.

Sana meron makuha si Sen Sonny na evidence of Asspweron’s pabaon, excesses and life style vis a vis his salary as AFP Cheat of Stuff. I could imagine the Ass’s expression in the grilling hall with Trillanes doing the direct questioning. Piesta yan kapag nagkataon.
Jug, AFP funds pa lang yan hah. Eh yung ibang agencies pa. Baka trilyones ang nadekwat niya at ng kanyang thieves!
May pag-asa tayo na makabawi kay bansot with the SC ruling on the continuation of the impeachment of Maldita. With a new ombudsman and a new COA director, hopefully we can uncover a lot of the “conversions”.
In due time Chi. Baka mas marami pang nahuthot yang si asspweron kesa kay Angie. Mukha pa lang mukhang “bato” na.
I heard too that the last six Tanay Boys who were found not guilty of the mutiny are filing cases against asspweron and company. Sana nga ituloy nila!

MIKEY ARROYO is gleeful and taunts Antonio Trillanes. “Why don’t they just proceed with their investigation and see where it leads to? If Trillanes has suspicions that he can substantiate with concrete evidence, he should air that at the Senate investigation which, lest it be forgotten, is in aid of legislation. (Trillanes should remember that) the great power of parliamentary immunity comes with parliamentary courtesy.”
These remarks were a reaction to Trillanes saying last week that the Senate inquiry into Garcia’s case could go as high up as Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. This was the younger Arroyo’s idea of bidding a sarcastic “Good luck.”
Well, at the very least Mikey Arroyo would be better advised to avoid making references to the nature of legislative proceedings, or the proper conduct of legislators. Lest it be forgotten, he has become a congressman only in aid of stupidity or avidity: Only a stupid or greedy court can possibly find his credentials to represent this country’s security guards solid as a rock.

Perl, isa pa yang COA Chief na yan. Ayaw daw niya munang umalis dahil yung daw end ng term niya ay sa 2015 pa. Makapal din ang mukha niyan kapareho ni Maldita. Palagi pang mapula ang mata. Siguro palagi ang inuman niyan sa mga gustong magpaluto ng libro. Ayaw na nga sa kanya ni Pnoy eh ipinagsisiksikan pa niya yung mga “reforms” daw niya kuno. Sana si Heidi Mendoza na lang ang ipalit sa kanya baka titino pa ang COA. Malaking corruption din dyan. Biruin mo yung nag-audit sa AFP eh two per cent and cut! Eh kung billion ang tutal eh di multi-millionaire na ang auditor! Grabe no?

If Lagot is jailed, Garcia is returned to his former house of incarceration the last few years; and Asspwe joins them in the near future, dalawang blue label JW will be on your doorstep. And I honor my words like a true blue mountaineer. If I reneged, I’ll follow Angie’s example.
Medyo OT: The government allocated P3.1 billion for cordillera’s roads and highways rehabilitation (na naman!).
Everyone involved are now planning ahead how to siphon the money, maraming yayaman ulit…tsk tsk.
Eto, Assperon, saluhin mo itong mabahong itlog ng mukha mo.
A classic case of sensationalism by irresponsible media. Malinaw sa write-up na “…might have ‘converted’…” Ano nakalagay sa headline?
#160 tru blue, bigat ng condition ng 2 JW mo… 3 generals… pwde bang pauna mo na yung 1 kapag nauna sila ligot at garcia…. malayo pa laban natin kay asspweron… hehehe… but anyway, let’s celebrate pag nangyari ang mga yan 🙂
Why is Mikey Arroyo so atat na atat that the hearings on the AFP corruption should continue? Almost like he’s daring everybody to ‘Go ahead. You won’t find any evidence to link my mother to all that.’
Have they made sure nobody else will talk? Do they want us to pursue this tack because it will lead us nowhere because it is one of the most difficult to prove? A lot of time and effort wasted therefore?

perl,
Ala akong pakialam kung si kwek kwek ang nagpalaya kay Trillanes. Na-develop lang naman yong paghanga ko kay Trillanes doon sa ipinakita niya sa Senado. Ganun ang asal ang gusto kung maging Pangulo niyo … hindi pupuwede yong lalambot-lambot lalo na sa klase ng mga taong nagpapalakad sa inyong Gobyerno. Kailangan talaga ng isang kamay na bakal para maisa-ayos ng inyong Bansa.
Sana may ginagawa ng hakbang ang mga galamay ni Kwek Kwek para usigin ang mga nagkasala lalo na itong si Glorya … at pagdating ng panahon na iyan ….. sasaluduhan ko na ang inyong Pangulo.
Tongue, kung alam ni Asspweron na pinakamaitim ang budhi ni Rabusa, bakit hindi nya tinanggal nung panahon nila ni putot. Malamang ay magmumukhang porsiento lang ang P50M ni Angie sa naibigay sa kanila ni Rabusa kaya hindi nya tinanggal ang budget officer.
Nayari sa partihan siguro ni Rabusa, nung G-2 budget officer pa siya sa PA at heneral na si Asspirin. Kaya nag-iiiyak. Bakit di sila nagkakalat ng text laban kay Rabusa? Kasi hindi naman tatakbong presidente si Rabusa.
Baka si Putot! Nangangarap tumakbo muli sa 2016!

Although many of the oral stories are credible, they are not backed up by documentary evidence. That’s the problem of Trillanes.
That’s why I’m suspicious with the challenge of Reyes to Trillanes to name “the powerful person” behind Garcia.
I suspect it was a trap which Trillanes wisely didn’t fall.
Tongue, what’s the link of that story? Re #163.
tt,
duda nga rin ako diyan, tingnan mo “bayan muna” galing, sinakyan naman nila ang issue, kaya nagiging defensive ang afp eh.
From an AFP(ret)WoPP (WithOut Pasalubong o Pabaon)
Certain disturbing aspects of the military honors given to the late Sec. Reyes:
1. A soldier who committed suicide is not given military honors. AFP spokesman said “he was no longer in active service..” Who made the decision to waive this gray area?
2. A soldier’s widow gets 1/2 of the her late husband’s monthly pension; widow of a pensioner who killed self is not entitled to it. That means she gets nothing. If a pension can be denied under the circumtance, why not the military honors?
3.As per our experience when our mistah John Francis Velasco died, G1, PA said that the deceased being a retiree, HPA would only provide a
2-man detail for the vigil and the usual honors during burial. All others, expenses whatever, have to be shouldered by the family.
4. According to newsreports, Reyes was buried in the dignitary section of LNMB and given 21-gun salute. If this was the case, the department (DOE) he last served should have handled all activities- not the AFP. And, the 21-gun salute? Was he the real head of state in the last decade?
5. And so, the questions:
-where did the AFP charge the expenses- which judging from the TV coverage would have easily cost millions of pesos, from vigil to interment? From PCDA (Provision for Command-Directed Activities) again?
(Just thinking, could this “easy” access to funds have inspired the funds managers to develop a mindset that would led to the creation of so-called “culture of corruption”?)
-If the decision for the spectacle was not covered by regulations, or worse, a violation, shouldn’t somebody reimburse the AFP?
-or, another hearing-in-aid-of-legislation should be called to probe this unusual case of “pabaon”?
Reading the above #173, my blood boileth over again.
The thing that disturbed me was not so much getting buried in the Libingan but the 40-gun salute in total. You do that to a hero or a head of state but not one who committed suicide because he had been denounced as a military thief.
Ellen,
Can’t remember if they gave General Boy Enrile a 40-gun salute when he was buried. Boy Enrile died while in service as CSAFP (died of over dieting).

If you consider what Reyes did is honorable, to all politicians & Generals do the same thing please. The corruption will end and we will become one united as a nation.
Excellent article by Johnny Enrile’s half sister:

This will never happen. Kahit mga pobreng pobre sa atin knows there appears a lifetime pattern of total disregard
to our so called “laws”. Pag yung isang gutom na gutom na bata nagnakaw ng pagkain para mabuhay even just for a day; ayan na si self-righteous pulis patola; bitbit yung bata sa presinto…sermon dito, sermon doon na masama ang magnakaw!
The real thieves, di naman kayang galawin.
Let us make this clear once and for all, especially for those who don’t understand the issue enough but make nasty and wild allegations and accusations, just so their comments are seen and published in this thread. Kaunting analysis naman everyone, is that too much to ask?
Let’s put everything in their proper perspective. Reyes has not been investigated much less convicted of the crime he is being unfairly accused of. He was there at the hearing as a RESOURCE PERSON and it’s obvious that Trillanes and Estrada have axes to grind with him, that’s why they grilled, shamed and embarrassed him. He took his own life, for reasons he alone is certain about. We can only speculate. The AFP is a corrupt system and Reyes’ sin perhaps is his failure to stop it and eventually became a beneficiary of the system too. But Reyes is also soldier who rose from the ranks to become the Chief of Staff, Secretary of National Defense, Energy and Environment. He has served this country well, more than you and I can ever do in our lifetime. Well, far more than Trillanes can and will ever do.
Consider this. Trillanes is a soldier as well, a junior at that. He has wrought this country more havoc and damage than you and I can ever do in our lifetime (except maybe those people who vote for people like him). His military adventurisms in Oakwood and Manila Peninsula, both located in Makati, the country’s financial capital, has scared a lot of foreign investors and tourists, weakened the peso, spooked the stock market, embarrassed our country in the international community, and sent the Philippine economy in a tailspin enough to erase whatever economic gains we have achieved for several years. He is a mutineer, a traitor, an economic saboteur. Compare this to Reyes, Trillanes admitted guilt for all these when he applied for amnesty under Pnoy’s government, which is a requisite of the program. Also, how could you explain Trillanes being one of the biggest spender in the Senate while he was in jail? I can’t imagine how humongous his expenditures will be especially now that he is free. Pathetic!
“Honor code violators do not deserve respect,” Senator Trillanes said.
However, Reyes was not yet guilty of the crime. The investigation has not yet concluded. It is still on-going. Hindi ba “innocent until proven guilty?” Actually Reyes was not yet a suspect when Trillanes grilled him in the hearing. He was invited as a guest. Why? Because although Reyes was the chief of staff, they still need to prove that he benefited from the pabaon system. Of course Rabusa’s claim was presented to the hearing but like the people he implicated, his claims are also under investigation. You can’t just say that he did this and that. It must be PROVEN BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT.
And since Trillanes tend to ignore that, then he is in all practicality the one who is a real violator of that Honor Code. He insulted and disrespected an upperclassman who is not yet guilty of the crime he is being accused of and Trillanes revels in that. He is like a fly on the back of a carabao who thinks he is better than the carabao because he is standing on its back.
So before you people say anything, keep in mind. Demand ABSOLUTE PROOF first. We all want to see who’s the REAL mastermind. If we give in to a trial of publicity, the more we won’t know the identities of the true masterminds of this crime.
Go Antonio or one of the horsies and maybe Luli, no need to even probe Angie. His assets and lifestyle speak for itself. To be able to travel 48 times to the US, US lang yan, is not cheap.
The bottom line is, why did he kill himself? Out of shame and to protect his family and the culprits. End of the story.
At least Trillianes is never a coward! he languished in incarceration for 7 long years! If Angie was made of the same fiber as Trillianes, he could have faced his accusers squarely. Instead, he would rather die and not be answerable for any wrong doing. To top it all, I am so disgusted that he was buried in the libingan ng mga bayani. Shame shame for the family of a perceived thief to even have the audacity to accept the offer to have Angie buried amongst the heroes.
Reyes’ story is a typical “crook gets away, starts a new life swimming in a sea of respectability, the past catches up with him, he cannot take the humiliation and shame, so he ends his life instead.”
Insulting and disrespecting an upperclassman is not a violation of the honor code, please google it.
It says “we the cadets do not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate others who do so.”
Reyes practically violated all aspects of it, read his last words, he practically admitted “accepting certain aspects of corruption…”
What absolute proof are you asking for, the dead guy just admitted it already?
The truth, even if in a trial by publicity, will come out, and no amount of trial by publicity will condemn an innocent man. Take a look at Erap, that was practically trial by publicity?
“Trillanes is a soldier as well, a junior at that. He has wrought this country more havoc and damage than you and I can ever do in our lifetime (except maybe those people who vote for people like him). His military adventurisms in Oakwood and Manila Peninsula, both located in Makati, the country’s financial capital, has scared a lot of foreign investors and tourists, weakened the peso, spooked the stock market, embarrassed our country in the international community, and sent the Philippine economy in a tailspin enough to erase whatever economic gains we have achieved for several years. He is a mutineer, a traitor, an economic saboteur” – can you even quantify this? are you sure?
contrast that to the Honasan led coups.
And what fly on a carabao? He’s an elected senator, he practically wields the power given to him by 11 million people, Reyes? he wielded the power given to him by a corrupt president as a reward for selling out his boss and he was well rewarded for it.
“But Reyes is also soldier who rose from the ranks to become the Chief of Staff, Secretary of National Defense, Energy and Environment. He has served this country well, more than you and I can ever do in our lifetime.”
Wrong! Well, speak for yourself, maybe you haven’t done much yourself. If making an hinest living as opposed to groveling and allowing himself to be used as a tool of oppression and corruption is a major major achievement for you, well, again, speak for yourself as not all of us subscribe to that.
Reyes practically violated all aspects of the honor code except “we the cadets.” and if you recall, even when Lacson used the “alright” on him he didn’t prescribe to it as for him it applies only to the cadet corps. The loser was the fly on the carabao all this time, problem is he believed he was above the law, too bad for him as its long arm will always get its man, eventually. His is a tragic story that proves crime doesn’t pay, and an stories go, the bad guys always lose…not exactly their lives though…
In a nutshell, what happened to Reyes could be summed up in these words “it could’nt have happened to a nicer guy.”
parasabayan,
naunahan mo ako. dumaan yata si Robles? 🙂
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: The person who talks most of his own virtue is often the least virtuous. ~Jawaharlal Nehru
hmmmm…and Reyes was so concerned about “his” reputation, not the truth…
And what prey tell was Reyes’ great achievement with the DOE? hmmmmmmmmm…
I do not think it is Robles, Jug. It is one of those protected by Angie. Hindi mo ba napansin na kailangang may “beyond reasonable doubt”? Ano pa ang gustong prueba? Pinatay na nga niya yung sarili niya dahil he could not stomach the guilt! Waht else is there to prove?
Jug, the AFP is just a small source of funds if you compare this to the Energy sector. The AFP only had 120,000 men and a few billions of funds ( not including the US aid, the kidnapping business and etc). Energy is consumed by everybody, big and small companies, rich and poor individuals and families. Di hamak na malaki ang “pabaon” dyan Jug!
@parasabayan, have you read my comment? The investigation has not yet concluded. It is still on-going. Hindi ba “innocent until proven guilty?”nt unless u have proof that he acquired those assets through illegal means? and his wife is also businesswoman who also has a substantiated income from her businesses.@ jug, Erap is innocent?hahahaha. ur funny, he was convicted by the sandiganbayan of plunder but moled gloring pardoned him…sayang, convicted plunderers should rot in jail.Trillianes even bactracked from his previous statement about reyes. it shows the your senator trillianes has a woman’s intuition.hahaha
Go Antonio, ano namang legitimate business ang meron ang Mrs ni Angie to be able to travel 48 times sa US? Kasasabi nga ni Rabusa na humihingi pa nga si Mrs ng $ 10,000 tuwing aalis papunta sa ibang bansa? Tapos humihirit pa ng another $ 5000 pang- shopping. Yan ba ang may business? Baka monkey business. As far as I am concerned, when Angie killed himself, that was a confirmation of a wrong doing. Hindi na kailangan ng legal means to find out if he erred or not. Kung wala siyang guilt, bakit siya nagpakamatay? Kung gusto niyang maging bayani, eh di nuon pang kabataan niya, nagpaassign na sana siya sa Mindanao at nagpakamatay na sa giera, baka maging Medal of Valor awardee pa siya. But, yung tipo ni Angie, palagi lang siguro nasa airconditioned room at nagmamando lang. With what he did, killing himself,showed his desperation or guilt. Only desperate people kill themselves, yung mga kriminal na hindi na nila kaya yung kanilang pinaggagagawa, drug addicts, depressed people with very low esteem and the like. Ang isang may tamang pagiisip at pagmamalasakit sa sarili ay hindi mag-su-suicide. That my friend is more than a verdict. Ito ay ang sinasabing self imposed verdict. Si Angie na ang naging hukom sa kanyang sariling mga kasalanan. Kahit naman wala na siya, the probe continues and in the end, we will still know who the real culprits are and believe me, he will still be one of them!
Trillianes still stands by what he said that Angie was one of the people behind Garcia and the corruption in the AFP. Trillianes did not kill himself when the putot put him in jail. He faced the verdict( there was not even one yet up to this time) squarely. Mas masahol pa sa sissy ang ginawa ni Angie. As Anna puts it, it is the highest form of COWARDICE, what Angie did!
PSB,
Like you, I’d believe a whistleblower like Rabusa, an erstwhile Angie diehard than Angie’s widow, anytime, unfinished or finished trial, etc, etc
@parasabayan, does rabusa have proof?none.Probably the critical point for a person to commit suicide is NOT offense against his reputation but to the reputation of his family that was also dragged by the issue. His wife was mentioned several times in the hearing.Talk about malinis, your senator trillianes is the biggest spender in the senate even when he was incarcerated and he never submitted those expenses incurred for audit. it does show that your trillianes is a hyporcite like his ate gloria, and kuya erap. and wer did he got the funds for the weapons used in oakwood mutiny?maybe from erap or ping….hahaha
Go Antonio, I was all Northern Luzon for a few months 6 months before the May 10 elections. I ran into Magdalos whereever I went. The Magdalos are gathering date. They were in the grassroots. That is where Trillianes spent most of his money in senate. Hindi lang siya katulad ng iba dyan (Joker Arroyo for one) who seem just content sitting only at hearings and never bothered to see his constituents. Nakakulong man si Trillianes, he had his men roaming around looking at what he could do to help his fellow men. I saw his efforts with my own two eyes, first hand experience. By the wya, inspite of this incarceration, he was able to pass bills, a few of which were made into law. Nagtatratrabaho si Trillianes. I can not say the same for the other senators.
Where did the Magdalos get their weapons? These young soldiers were all active soldiers then. They all had weapons with them. No one had to even give them any. They were armed but did not use these arms to cause harm. They just wanted to make a stand. And look at what is coming out now. The Magdalos’ gripes are all substantiated, the Ampatuans, the corruption in the AFP and so on and so forth.
Go Antonio, obviously you were not watching the hearings. I watched the hearings. Rabusa had kept records of all his allegations. With Col Sonny Lim, who is still in active duty who was a witness to all the cash outflow, there were even more damning evidences against those who stole from the coffers.
@parasabayan. hahahaha. maybe ur watching too much movies.wat u wer saying about the weapons used by magdalos is comically insane.maybe until now u still believe that fairies exist.hahaha. soldiers are not allowed to carry their weapons outside from their barracks without authorization from their CO, and if they managed to stole it from the armory they could have used a vehicle to transport those weapons which means that someone provided the logistical support not unless we’re goin to believe ur preposterous childish idea. Wake up my child santa is not real!hahahaha
If the soldiers are deployed in the field, they can carry their firearms with them.
Maybe their CO was with them too!
there is no threat that warrants deployment of soldiers in the field during that day. Ur senator trillianes is not tarnished as he claims to be, maybe some influential person with vested interest is behind him, maybe Erap or Ping.
