May eleksyon ba?

Nago-organisa na ang mga gustong kumandidato para sa 2010 na eleksyon. Hindi lang sa pagka-presidente. Pati na rin ang mga gustong kumandidato sa mga lokal na pwesto.

Sa Pilipinas kasi ang eleksyon ay parang piyesta. Ang tingin ng marami sa atin sa eleksyon ay isang masayang okasyon kung saan umuuwi tayo na busog ang tiyan at kung swertehin ay may pabaon pa.

At yun lang ang panahon na nilalapitan tayo ng mga pulitiko. Kapag hindi eleksyon, pinatataguan tayo.

Arroyo’s dream team

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

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

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

Update: The hearing for May 19 has been reset to May 26.

I never harbored the illusion that the 28 officers accused of mutiny in connection with something that did not happen in February 2006 will get justice as long as Gloria Arroyo is in power.

That view is becoming a disturbing concern by the decisions of the panel presiding in the court martial led by Maj. Gen. Jogy Fojas.

On Tuesday, the defense lawyers will start the cross-examination of Maj. Gen. John Martir.

AWOL

Ibig sabihin ng AWOL ay Absence without leave. Nag-absent ka sa trabaho na walang paalam.

Sa military malaking kasalanan yan at iyon ay paglabag ng Articles of War 58 at 59. Oo nga naman. Biruin mo kung may giyera at biglang umalis ka ng walang paalam. Di maiwan ang mga kasama mo doon na makipaglaban sa kaaway.Court martial ang bagsak ng isang miyembro ng military na nag-AWOL.

AWOl ang ikinaso ng Philippine Navy kay Ltsg. Nancy Gadian. Maganda ito kasi mabubuhay ang AWOL ni Maj. Gen. John Martir na magiging marine commandant sa sunod na buwan daw.

The military has ordered the arrest of Lt. (s.g.) Nancy Gadian, the Navy officer who has exposed alleged corruption involving funds for the RP-US Balikatan exercises in 2007, for breaching military discipline.

She was also declared a “deserter” after going AWOL (absence without official leave), the military said in a briefing yesterday.

Lt. Col. Edgard Arevalo, Navy spokesman, said Gadian will be restricted to Navy headquarters where she is attached unassigned.

“Kahit anong pressure ng Malacañang sa akin, hindi ako mag-inhibit (Malacañang cannot pressure me to inhibit),” Lorredo, presiding judge of the Manila Metropolitan Trial Court (MTC) Branch 26, said in an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN News.

Lorredo said that his refusal to inhibit from the case is also meant to protect his fellow magistrates at the Manila MTC.
