Restrictions on Trillanes tightened

Malacañang must be sensing that the candidacy of Sonny Trillanes is taking off, despite his absence in the campaign trail and lack of resources. Now, they want him isolated from his campaign leaders and supporters:

Genuine Opposition (GO) spokesman Adel Tamano yesterday criticized government and the military for imposing more restrictions on detained Magdalo core leader Antonio Trillanes IV.

“We’re concerned na naghihigpit sila. Why? Because he’s a GO candidate and is doing good in surveys?” he said in a media briefing at the GO headquarters in Mandaluyong city. “He’s not even physically out there campaigning.”

Tamano said Trillanes has not been allowed to receive visitors other than family members.

“That’s unlawful, unconstitutional. The law is clear that (while in detention) you can see your friends, lawyers aside from relatives,” Tamano said.

The ban covers Trillanes’ campaign leaders and supporters who are mostly friends and relatives of other detained Magdalo soldiers.

Trillanes, a Navy lieutenant, was dropped from the rolls after he filed his candidacy.

Trillanes is neck to neck with Team Unity candidate Michael Defensor for 15th spot in the latest Pulse Asia survey conducted in Manila which was released Thursday.

Tamano said they are considering bringing the GO senatorial team to the detention cell of Trillanes.

  1. Trillanes is neck to neck with Team Unity candidate Michael Defensor for 15th spot in the latest Pulse Asia survey – with all the dollars spent on Defensor’s fancy television advertising compared to Trillanes limited advertising Team Unity have a right to be worried that defeat looks them in the eye. They will not give a clean fight because their evil cretin of a boss depends on winning this election to stay in power.

  2. No matter what they do, Ellen, Trillanes is bound to win. One thing Madame Boba-ry should know is that tyranny cannot last forever. May araw din siya at iyong mga inutil na mga heneral niya!

    The other day, ABS-CBN had an affair in Tokyo. When we went there, we were surprised to see a lot many people approaching me and my friends, who were responsible for promoting and practically running the OAV registration in Japan in 2003, and knowing our sentiments, asked if we would create a body to campaign for the Opposition in Japan. I was elated by the number of people volunteering now to campaign for Trillanes in Japan even before we could tell them that we have in fact now formed a “Trillanes for Senator Para sa Pagbabago Campaign” in the Land of the Rising Sun. So far, we already have 20 people aside from my own company staff volunteering to help in our nationwide campaign here starting today as a matter of fact.

    God willing, Trillanes will win!!! The truth shall prevail, and the Filipinos will be free!!!

    What can we expect from a military organization that’s already been totally devoid of honor and high sense of morality, thanks to its fake commander-in-chief. Just last night this ltcol bakero the chief of the afp’s public info office was quacking on national tv commenting about the pictures that he claimed he himself found in the internet which shows Joma Sison the self-exiled top man of the CPP dancing and singing with actress Ara Mina during what appears to be a Christmas program held in the Netherlands. This bakero character went down to the level of a cheap gay tabloid shobiz reporter when he said that Joma was having a good life while the CPPs foot soldiers which are the NPAs are in the mountains experiencing hunger and fatigue brought about by their military struggles against the AFP. This lt col bacarro just showed his shallow state of IQ, does he think that the NPAs and for that matter the militant groups such as BAYAN, KMU, KMP, and others would turn around and hate Joma for what they saw in the pictures that this military officer brought out into public? What a waste of military intelligence funds, no wonder they can’t beat these rag tag groups like the NPAs, Abu Sayyaf, and other as they termed terrorist groups. Now, what can this same joker named lt col bacarro comment on the issue of LtSG Antonio Trillanes’ treatment by his own people? Kita nila ang butas ng karayom pero hindi ang sa palakol.

    Ang mga Pilipino ay mahilig sa mga dehado. Si Trillanes ay dehado at sa ginagawa ng mga kalaban na paghihigpit sa kaniya lalo siyang nadedehado at lalo namang siyang sumisikat at dumadami ang mga susuporta at boboto sa kaniya. Next survey nasa top 12 na siya.

  5. apoy apoy

    Kung tutuusin,pa-pogi yang si Bacarro na hindi naman niya alam ang kanyang sinasabi.Accusing Joma having a good life? Bakit di niya tingnan ang sarili niya? He himself is having the luxuries in life while the true soldiers of the AFP are in the jungles of Mindanao and some 28 officers are in stockade? Hoy! sundalong pulpol.Kailangan niyong mag-aral.

    Apoy,
    Magdonate ka ng libro para sa kanila. Hahanapin ko yung bagong eye-mo (yung roll-on), ibigay ko kay Bacarro para luminaw ang mata. Bulag eh! Tanga pa!

    iisa lang ang gusto kong itanong kay trillanes.
    bakit pinaligiran nila ng bomba noon ang oakwood. civilians ba ang target nila? Parang hostage taking ang nangyari.

  8. chi chi

    GO! GO! GO! TRILLANES!

    Pikon na naman si Tianak. Imagine naungusan na ni Sonny si Little Mike! Kahit na anong gawin nilang paghihigpit, papanalunin ng pinoy si Sonny. We love Sonny!

    Yes Florry, he’ll be in the top 12 in the next survey! Sinong nagsabing may naniniwala sa team tianak?!

  9. Spartan Spartan

    hindinanoypi, kabayan what if it was not LtSG Trillanes himself who was in charge of securing the perimeter of the Oakwood Hotel, what if it was Gambala or those other former mutineers now turned gloria’s boys, who were in charge of placing those suppose anti-personnel mines around the conflict area? Then I guess even LtSG Antonio Trillanes IV would not be able to answer your silly question. 😉

  10. Spartan Spartan

    apoy, sakto sinabi mo, iyan ang dapat munang itanong ni bakero sa sarili niya. Si heneral itlog, na tuta ng Malakanyang nakasakay sa malamig na Luxury SUV, habang de escort pa ng mga hagad sa tuwing bumibiyahe sa Kalakhang Maynila, pero si Sarhento Atapang na isang pangkaraniwang sundalo sampu ng kaniyang mga katropa na nasa bundok ng Basilan at Sultan Kudarat, tinutubuan na ng eksema sa mga paa nila dahil sa mga luma at butas pang Combat Boots, at hindi makahingi ng tulong sa kampo sa oras ng ambush dahil nasira ang bulok na Icom. Karayom kontra palakol, I guess for stupid puppet soldiers like this bakero, the needle’s eye was easier to notice.

  11. Spartan:

    Huwag mo nang tanungin ang nagmamaang-mangan iyan. Hindi naman kasi ipinalabas ang ginawa nila Trillanes na pinakiusapan ang mga sibilyan na nasa Oakwood noon na umalis. At sinabi naman nila na ang layunin ay paputukin ang mga bomba kapag nilusob sila ng mga sundalong kanin ni Madame Boba-ry! Ang linaw-linaw naman ng ingles at tagalog na salita ni Trillanes sa mga media noon. Ewan ko nga lang kung nakita ng mga nanonood ng TV o kung ipinalabas ng ABS-CBN, etc. ang mga nakuha nilang video clips ng Oakwood mutineers. Ang problema kasi ang camera sa Maynila nakatuon doon sa mga bayarang hakot na mga local officials lalo na iyong taga Bulacan na nakakasuka talaga sa pagsisipsip kay Bansot at hindi doon sa kung anong ipinaglalaban ng mga disgruntled na sundalong tulad ni Trillanes at mga kasama niya. Makukunsumi ka lang kung papansinin mo ang mga tanga o nagtatanga-tangahan!!!

  12. Golly, hindi ako maka-blog in kahapon. Ang dami kong trabaho! Daming nahuhuli ng pulis dito ngayon. Inuubos na talaga ang mga nag-o-overstay na mga pilipino. Pero bilib ka mas gusto pang pumasok sa kulungan kesa umuwi lalo na daw ngayong nakaupo si Bugaw!!!

    Busy din ang mga staff ko at ang dami daw tawag ng mga nagtatanong kung papaano sila makakatulong sa pagkampaniya para kay Trillanes. Ang bango-bango ng pangalan niya sa mga naaaping mga pilipino!!! Mahirap dayain ni Garcillano iyan na ikinahihiya ko bilang isang Ilocano gaya ni Singson! Kakahiya!!! Pero mas nakakahiya iyong mga taga-Iloilo na madaling naniwala sa ikinalat daw ni Gungonzales na terror scare!!! Parang katulad ng ginawa kay FPJ noon. Please bakit hindi na sila nadala at natuto. Mas grabe daw ngayon ang dayaan. Lutong makaw na raw ang mga balota at canvas sheets, etc. sabi ng kakilala kong pamangkin ng isang gobernador sa Luzon lalo na doon sa bayan ni Angara at Enrile!!! Heaven forbid!!!

    But God I know will protect Trillanes’ votes!!! Baka tamaan sila ng kidlat—iyong mga squatters ng Malacanang, et al! 😛

    Ang OAKWOOD parang sa “The Rock” movie mas grabe pa nga si Ed Harris (General) ang panakot niya pasabugin ang San Francisco pero sa bandang huli di naman niya ginawa nais lang naman niyang iparating sa Gov’t ang kakulangan ng pansin sa mga napaslang na sundalo sa Gulf War…STATEMENT lang talaga.Parang sa OAKWOOD nais nilang iparating sa Gov’t na nasa Mindanao sila na lumalaban sira ang mga boots (nakita ko ito sa mukha ni Faeldon sa correspondents tv) at grabeng corruption..namamatay sila sa sariling bala (Basilan seige) ng Gobyerno…bagamat maling paraan pero siguro yun lang talaga ang tanging paraan ang nakita ng OAKWOOD at maliwanag naman ayaw nilang may madamay na civilian.

    Ang ginawang paghihigpit kay Trillanes ay maliwanag pa sa sikat ng araw na natatakot sila kay Trillanes dahil mataas siya sa survey. Kung ano ang ikanakatakot nila, only God knows. Sa ginawa nilang paghihigpit kay Trillanes lalong dadami ang susuporta sa kanya, libre pa ang media exposure niya.

    I am for Trillanes and I am also using my own resources (sikreto rin kay mister) para ikumpanya siya sa mga OAV dito sa Kuala Lumpur.

    I agree, in the next survey, Trillanes will be in the magic 12. I have a lot of relatives campaigning for him! Huwag lang nilang dayain na naman ang eleksyon, mananalo si Trillanes.

    Hindinapinoy, you will never understand the frustration of these soldiers unless you have someone like them in your immediate family. These soldiers are out in the grassroots, out in the areas you and I may not even dare go. More than half of them are living on the poverty line, no decent homes. Some of them can not even afford to send their children to school. Yet, these soldiers know that the Armed Forces of the Philippines always get some kind of “modernization funds” but these funds always find their way in their superiors pockets. Promotion is always a bata bata system. Look at Assperon. He may be a National Science graduate before he entered the PMA but his leadership skills are that of a gestapo. He thinks that he is the “Hitler” of the Philippines. His leadership is lopsided-just to protect tiyanak, that is it! He does not understand the sentiments of his underlings.
    Lim and Querubin went to Senga to voice out the sentiments of their junior officers after they were widely used in the cheating operations in the 2004 elections, look where they are now! So HNP, if a responsible officer sees that nothing is being done to address their issues using the right channels, if you were in their shoes, would you have resorted to the same tactics to get the attention of those above you? I do not condone the actions of Trillanes but he has already paid for those actions. if he wants to run for public office, I embrace his intentions to serve the public. He knows the plight of the soldiers and he has the guts! He may be young but his ideals are very lofty and he has integity.

    I read earlier that soldiers are being deployed in the squatter areas of Tondo, etc… to intimidate some party list candidates and their following. I can smell trouble brewing. If tiyanak and her minions can no longer cheat in the upcoming elections, they may altogether sabotage the May election and make it into a bloody one or create chaos in areas they perceive defeat so they can rig the votes in those areas to guarantee their victory. This is how the tiyanak and her minions work, by sheer intimidation!

  26. PSB,

    One does not have to have a relative, who is a soldier in the AFP,to know what’s wrong with the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

    We only have to see how these new officials kissing the smelly ass of the bogus president, etc. to know the desperation and the lowest ebb of morale among the soldiers that come wartime, we’ll see them jumping to the other side especially when they can be assured of 3 sumptuous meals a day. Baka sa kalaban kumampi ang matitira sa kanila kundi pa sila gumawa ng hakbang gaya ng ginawa nina Trillanes, et al.

    At least, noong panahon ni Marcos, medyo may dignity pa sila but I think through the years under the tutelage and prodding of the Tuko from Pangasinan, the AFP has completely been demoralized.

    I, for one, was disgusted to see those Philippine soldiers carrying toiletries for some US soldiers in the Balikatan in exchange for a few dollars! Tongue na, parang mga tsimoy ang itsura.

    Then, there was the picture of some official in the AFP being carried piggy back by a low-ranking soldier. Dito sa Japan iyan, katakot-takot na batikos ang aabutin ng animal na opisyal na iyan,because over here ranks do not count. Respect is earned by first acting respectable and showing one deserves it.

    One thing sure, though, is I am proud to know that a relative of mine has gone up the ladder in the AFP through the usual way, and there apparently is now an attempt to discredit him by some ass-licker coveting his position. Huwag nilang gagawin iyan kasi great grandnephew siya ni Antonio Luna, the pharmacist turned general who proved his gallantry and bravery during the fight for Philippine independence against Spain. Hopefully, hindi niya namana ang temper ng mga ninuno niya!!!

  27. Mutiara:

    Thanks. I bet marami out there doing the same thing you and I do for this promising young gentleman. The more about his thoughts, the more I am convinced that what he and his friends did was the right thing. Unfortunately, unless something is done, mabubulok sila sa kulungan without seeing the light of day. Iyong ngang si Estrada, baka mamatay sa loob ng kulungan na hindi alam kung ano ang kaniyang kasalanan lalo na ngayon ang daming prueba na ang magnanakaw ng kaban ay hindi siya kundi si Donya Boba!!!

    Over in Japan, si Trillanes pihado ang No. 1 sa Senator. Top three dito si Trillanes, Cayetano at Escudero, followed by Koko and Noynoy. Mahirap na lang magsalita.

    SAKIT NG PILIPINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS!

  29. cocoy cocoy

    Concuerdo, en la próxima inspección, Trillanes estará en la magia 12. Tengo muchos parientes que hacen campaña para él! Apenas no estafa la elección que él ganará.

    Usted nunca entenderá la frustración de estos soldados a menos que usted tenga alguien los quiere en su familia más cerca. Estos soldados son fuera en el del nivel local, fuera en las áreas usted y yo puede ni va.más que la mitad de ellos vive en el umbral de pobreza, ningunos hogares decentes. Algunos de ellos pueden ni proporcionan para mandar sus niños a educar. Todavía, estos soldados saben que el Servicio de Fuerzas armadas de las Filipinas obtienen alguna clase de “Fondos de Modernización” pero esto financia siempre llega sin ayuda en bolsillos allí superior. La promoción es siempre un favoritismo. Mire Assperon. El quizá un graduado nacional de ciencia antes él entró la P. M. UN. pero su habilidad del liderazgo es que de Gestapo.El piensa que él es el “Hitler del Phillipines. Su liderazgo es ladeado proteger apenas al enano, eso es! El no entiende a los sentimientos de sus subordinados.

    ¡Lim y Querubin fueron a Senga para expresar fuera los sentimientos de sus oficiales menores después de que ellos fueran utilizados extensamente en las operaciones que estafan en 2004 elección, la mirada dónde están ellos ahora! ¿De modo que HNP, si un oficial responsable no ve nada hecho para dirigir su asunto que utiliza los canales del derecho, Si usted estuvo en sus zapatos, habría recurrido a usted las mismas tácticas a obtener la atención de ésos encima de usted? Yo no condono la acción de Trillanes pero de él ya había pagado por esas acciones. Si él quiere correr para el cargo público, yo abrazo su intención para servir el piblic. ¡El sabe el apuro de los soldados, él tiene intestinos! El quizá joven pero sus ideas son muy altas y él tiene la integridad.

    Leí más temprano que soldados son desplegados en las áreas más rechonchas de Tondo, –Etc. Para intimidar a algunos candidatos de la lista del partido y su siguiente. Puedo oler hacer de problema. Si el enano y su acólito pueden a ningún estafador más largo en la elección venidera, ellos pueden sabotear enteramente la elección de mayo y la marca en un sangriento uno o crear caos en áreas al guarrantee que su victoria.esto es cómo el enano y su trabajo de acólito, por completo de la intimidación.

  31. Ellen,

    Journal and Malaya both carried a report of Joma having a grand time in The Netherlands last December. While parts of it may be true, the item failed to report on the occasion in its entirety. It was a Christmas party but it did not say whether Joma hosted it. I went to the website to check the photos. Yes he was dancing with Ara Mina but the report did not mention that it was a party of the Filipino community. Present were migrant workers and also present was the ambassador of the Philippines. I don’t think the ambassador would attend a party hosted by the enemies of the state. Bacarro’s report is therefore misleading and very inaccurate.

    I am no Joma fan but I would like the people to know the truth. Bacarro obviously is trying to hoodwink the readers. A cheap shot for someone who paints himself as a professional. But I suppose that’s his job, to misinform and to cover up the shenanigans of the AFP. I suppose he just trying to justify the expensive parties and conferences of the AFP.

    RE: grabeng corruption, namamatay sila sa sariling bala (Basilan seige) ng Gobyerno

    The Oakwood mutineers have valid grievances like movie The Rock. The Feliciano Commission recommended the appointment of a civilian Secretary of National Defense and observes or respects the military’s political neutrality. The AFP neutrality in May 2007 midterm polls is questionable due the appointment of election manipulator Hello Garci General Hermogenes Ebdane as defense chief. AFP chief Garci General Esperon is being accused of partisan politics by harassing or eliminating party-list candidates and their supporters. Gloria Arroyo’s political survival at stake in May polls.

    An article in the web of Malaya (03/03/2007): “AFP: Joma living it up while foot soldiers starve”

    Esperon living it up in Malacañan while AFP foot soldiers starve.

    That sounds just about right.

  39. Chabeli:

    Joma is not the problem. So what if Joma is living like a real “Burgis” in the Hague? He is not stealing money from the Filipino people. If he is living like someone who made it big overseas, it must be because of something else like he’s now selling CDs according to his friends of his ideas, etc. The man deserves it. At least, he is selling his own inventions whatever they are, not dipping his hands and arms into the country’s coffers. Inggit lang si Bakayaro (Bakero daw sabi ni Magno which is the equivalent of “Tongue namo” in Japanese!!! 😛

    Frankly, all the former friends of Joma are no longer living like rats in mountain holes. Iyong sinasabi ni Bakero na mga NPA daw, I doubt kung talagang NPA nga. Baka mga tulisan lang ang mga iyan na nagpapanggap na mga komunista, for Communism is dead!!! Si Joma na lang ang Communists pero burgis na siya.

    Me? I am not a Communist. I don’t support the Communist Party of Japan although I can work with them on various community projects as a good citizen of Japan. I am a supporter of the Socialist Party of Japan, which is not the same as the Communist Party of Japan. Iyong mga bobo diyan sa Pilipinas as a matter of fact cannot even tell the difference between what is and what is not democractic as a matter of fact.

    Bakit ba si Joma ang ginagawang issue ng mga TUTA ni Madame Boba-ry? Puede ba nanahimik na ang tao doon sa Netherlands—probably waiting for his soon to be meeting with his Creator—tumigil na ang mga inutil na iyan? Golly, they should explain real hard on the killings the soldiers are doing for the Bansot!!! Doon nila gamitin ang oras at laway nila. Puede ba? Stop being inutil, mga sundalong kanin labas ang mga tumbong!!! 🙁

    Ellen,

    Aside from the fact that he led the Oakwood Mutiny, who is LtSg Sonny Trillanes IV before this incident? I am just wondering if he had a chance to be assigned in Sulu/Basilan or had experienced an armed encounter/firefight with the enemy of the state. I will vote for him if he can prove that he is a combat-tested officer of the Philippine Navy/AFP.

  41. “Me? I am not a Communist. I don’t support the Communist Party of Japan although I can work with them on various community projects as a good citizen of Japan.

    Aray! Bobo pala kaming mga Pinoy… and it takes a Japanese to say that?

    Naman… just because one has access to information and a good life elsewhere does not mean that he also has a monopoly on knowing “the difference between what is and what is not democractic as a matter of fact.”

    Back to regular programming: When a movie is rated X, it becomes more in demand. The more restrictions on Trillanes, albeit unfair, the better for his campaign. Whispers spread farther and wider than explosions.

    I think, a Trillanes win is inevitable. What with GMA’s minions unwittingly campaigning for him?

  42. Toney Cuevas Toney Cuevas

    In regards to Sonny Trillanes, I’m not a fan of him as I am not a great fan of mutineer Gloria, Gringo Honasan and Angelo Reyes for my own personal reasons. In my opinion, that country would be better off without them, if we are to hope for a civilized nation. We can’t allow anyone to trash our institution, the constitution and Republic of the Philippines and its laws. We need to respect our laws, or we are doom. Nevertheless, since I can’t change the system itself, perhaps less evil is better choice. Still, a choice I would rather not have.

  43. BK, whether he had been assigned in Sulu or not is irrelevant to Trillanes’ senatorial bid.

    For me, the fact that he stood up against the illegitimate presidency of Gloria Arroyo and corruption in the military are enough reasons to support his candidacy.

    Hey Elvira,

    Nice you’re back! Yeah, friends from Pinas just texted back saying that many people are campaigning for Trillanes, whisper dito, whisper doon. heheh! Good feedback confirming the recent survey that Trillanes is GOing up the ladder! yeheey!

  45. chi chi

    “When a movie is rated X, it becomes more in demand. The more restrictions on Trillanes, albeit unfair, the better for his campaign. Whispers spread farther and wider than explosions.

    I think, a Trillanes win is inevitable. What with GMA’s minions unwittingly campaigning for him?”

    Ka Enchong,

    Agree ako sa ‘yo 101 percent!

    cocoy, huwag mong sabihing hindi kita pinaalalahanan, hane?

    ako’y nagmamalasakit la’ang sa iyo. pero nagpapasalamat na rin dahil ang inaamag kong pagyakap sa sariling wika ay naging inspirasyon upang ang isang tulad mong sanga sanga ang dila (he he heh), linguistic ang ibig kong sabihin ay nagkakaroon ng batayan upang muling ibalik ang pagtatas sa salitang pansumandaling nasaisangtabi bunga ng pakikitalad at pakikisalamuha sa mga dinatnan sa lupainng pangalawa mong pinanahanan.

    mabuhay ka, manong!

    Hi Chi,
    Sa manahimik tayo’t hindi, ‘yang Tianak na yan sa Malakanyang ay walang mabuting magawa! So, let’s help people with a cause, like Trillanes, make a difference.
    “ISULONG SI TRILLANES, SA BAYAN MAY MALASAKIT!!!

  48. Elvie:

    Maraming nagboboluntaryong mag-campaign kay Trillanes dito sa Japan sabi ng staff ko. Balak naming mag-rally na nakasakay sa bisikleta tapos may media coverage! Putok na putok ang Opposition kahit saan sabi ng mga ka-email ko sa iba’t ibang lugar.

    Sinabi mo pa! SAKIT NG PILIPINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS! Sabi ng mga campaigner ni Trillanes—TRILLANES PARA SENADOR, PARA SA PAGBABAGO!

    May fundraising activity sila sa March 9 at 7:30 pm. Iyong mga nasa Manila, sumali kayo para makita ninyo kung ano ang mga ipinaglalaban ni Trillanes.

    Thanks, Cocoy for inviting anyone to say something…
    I appreciate very much and I fully support your positive ways to spread our political scene to your friends abroad. I do wish you should really take time also to translate perhaps all the blogs here sans discomforting words and help us reach out to all our decent friends in the world . BUT PLEASE LINK IT so we dont tresspass on the house rules,…..also those lenghty expositions.

    Hindi Parasabayan ang French translation mo, Cokecoy…Parasafrance.

  53. Chi, Elvie:

    Pag hindi pinalusot ang mga boto kay Trillanes, alam na nating si Tiyanak ang may pakana. Prediction ng mga pilipino dito sa Japan, nasa top three siya kundi siya No. 1.

    Maraming matutunan ang mga pilipino sa kampanyang ito ni Sonny Trillanes. (1) Hindi kailangang manuhol ng mga tao kung alam na tunay kang kandidatong maglilingkod sa kanila; (2) Hindi kailangan ang malaking gastos sa kampanya lalo na kung ang mga sasama sa kampanya ay handang magsakrispisyo para sa bayan ayon na rin sa halimbawa ng tumatakbong kandidato; (3) Kayang-kaya ng mga pilipino ang “Bayanihan” para isulong ang isang tunay na kandidato; (4) Sinong may sabing pera lang ang puedeng magpanalo sa isang tapat na kandidato; (5) buhay na buhay pa rin ang kagitingan, karangalan, katapangan, at pagmamahal sa bayan ng maraming pilipinong, nasa Pilipinas man o nasa ibang bansa, na handang ipakilala ito dahil kay Sonny Trillanes para sa bayan!!!

    Ito na siguro ang simula ng tunay na pagbabago! TRILLANES FOR SENATOR, Para Sa Pagbabago!!!

    IBASURA ANG ADMINISTRASYON! IBOTO ANG OPOSISYON! GO 11+0!!!
    SAKIT NG PILIPINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS!!! PAG-ASA NG MGA PILIPINO, HAWAK NI ALAN P. CAYETANO!!!

  54. Spartan:

    Hindi ito ipinalabas sa TV, pero doon sa mga transmissions na ipinadala mula sa Manila para ipalabas sa Japan na tina-translate ko sa wikang hapon, malinaw naman na walang layunin sina Trillanes na saktan ang mga sibilyan. Sinabi naman niya ang dahilan kung bakit nilalagyan nila ng barricade na TNT ang Oakwood Hotel.

    By 10 am, wala na ngang mga hapon doon. Kasi pinatawag ako ng producer ng show sa Oakwood hotel para magtanong kung may Japanese guest pa doon na puede naming ma-interview pero sinabi ng desk na pati nga mga empleyado doon ay pinaalis na at ang mga guests ay nilipat sa iba’t ibang hotel lalo na doon sa malapit na JAL Garden Hotel sa Makati. Iyon ngang kausap ko ang sabi ay security daw siya.

    Puro haka-haka lang ang ipinapakalat ng mga tuta ni Tiyanak gaya ng kabulastugan na ikinakalat ngayon ni Ass-peron tungkol sa pagdedetalya ng mga sundalo sa Manila lalo na doon sa bailiwick ng opposition para takutin ang mga boboto doon na hindi na bumoto at papalitan na lang nila ang mga boto ng mga ginawang boto at canvas sheets!!!

    Dapat nang magmatapang ang taumbayan na hindi na uubra ang maniobra ng mga Pidal. Nakakaasiwas nga ang nangyari sa Iloilo sa United Opposition pero sa Luzon tiyak hindi mananalo ang mga TUTA ni Pidal kahit na doon sa Kalinga, Apayao na balita ko ang gobernador kaibigan daw noong isang ASO, at lutong makaw na raw ang botohan doon. Kaya siguro masigasig ngayon na tumakbo si Col. Langkit na gustong sagipin ang kaniyang mga kababayan sa mga halimaw na gustong sumakop sa kanila.

    Dios mahabagin! Walang katapusang kawalanghiyaan at kahayupan ang ginagawa ng mga Pidal sa tulong ng mga TUTA at ASO nila!!!

  55. Okay. Cocoy, I think a number of people in this blog have expressed their opinion that your use of French and Spanish for full comments is distractive from the main issue. We have to listen to them.

    Even if personally, it’s not much of a bother to me, I consider the views of others. So we will stop the translations into French and Spanish of full comments. If it’s just a short expression, okay.

    For your friends, whom you said, want to understand comments here. just translate it to them personally. You don’t have to post it here.

    I don’t want to be dealing with this side issue any longer. It’s an unnecessary distraction.

    Ellen:
    I am very sorry I just get back to you this time, I need to answer a lot of phone calls from friends and they all told me that they want to thank you also for giving me the opportunity to write in their languages. They all enjoyed it and they told me that I written it perfectly in both Spanish and French, and they now understand what is going on with our country. But, most of all they are also hoping that the people will vote for Trillanes. There heart was been touched by Trillanes.

    My apology for the inconvenience to anyone who was been affected by my French and Spanish writing. My friends told me that they will always read what we will write and I will translate to them thru e-mail.

    Again, Ellen thanks for the opportunity.

    Buti nga sa iyo, Cokecoy. Ako puwede walang translation ng Chinese kasi marami dito ang marunong ng Chinese tulad nina Ate Chi at Soleil. Kapag marunong ka na ng Mandarin, mag-chat tayo niyan dito. Tiyempuhin lang natin tulog si Ate para hindi tayo masermonan.

    Uunahan kita pards. Hindi ganoon kadali ang Chinese language. Ang Chinese ang isa sa pinakamahirap na salita. Kaunting iba lang ng bigkas ay may iba na ang kahulugan. Di tulad ng Spanish, Italian, French, English kahit papaano’y may pagkapareho. Dapat mahusay din ang Chinese teacher mo. Gusto mo bang padalhan kita diyan na Chinese teacher mula talaga sa China? Ako ang bahala sa pamasahe niya at suweldo.

    Manang Yuko, marami namang nakakaalam ng tunay na sitwasyon nuong kasalukuyang nagaganap iyong Oakwood Siege, kaya kahit anong bersyon pa ang palabasin sa ngayon nitong mga tutang nakauniporme ni gloria, wa epek na ito sa pag-iisip ng mas nakararaming tao na may wasto at hustong katinuan. 😉

    and cocoy, lakay FBI ka pala…hehehe

  64. Cocoy, enough about translation.That’s not the issue. it’s distracting. Let’s go back to issue at hand. I will delete all comments about translation from hereon.

  65. Come to think of it, criminal cases in the Philippines used to have as heading “PEOPLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES VERSUS SO&SO” as the case becomes the case of the people of the Republic versus the lawbreaking criminal. Thus, I thought, if Trillanes is voted in this election to serve as a member of the Philippine Senate, it should be taken as the people of the Philippines having forgiven him, and thus, he should be out of prison to enable him to fully fulfil the delicate job of a Senator. For this, I bet, the Tiyanak and her minions will do their dumbest to discredit almost if not all the votes cast for him!

    Tamaan sana ng kidlat ang magtatangkang magnakaw ng mga boto niya o balewalain ang tinig ng sambayanang pilipino na tumataghoy—TRILLANES FOR SENATOR, Para Sa Pagbabago!!!
    SAKIT NG PILIPINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS!!! Pag hindi siya nanalo, tiyak dinaya siya!!!

    Hopefully, mag-aklasan na ang mga boboto sa kaniya! Huwag na silang pumayag na ma-Garci pa ang mga boto nila para kay Sonny Trillanes!!! Huwag kalimutan ang mga boto din para kay Alan Cayetano, Escudero, Koko Pimentel, Noynoy Aquino, Lacson, Osmena, Roco, Coseteng, Legarda, at Villar. GO 11+0!

    Cokecoy, ituloy natin ang kuwento tungkol sa translation. Wala yata si Ate Ellen o tulog pa. Kapag mabisto tayo, okay lang kung tanggalin.
