Ang kalbaryo ni Ruben Dionisio

Published by Ellen on April 16, 2007

Naala-ala nyo si Ruben Dionisio, ang isa sa limang supporters ni dating Pangulong Estrada na kini$nap ng mga intelligence agent ng military (ISAFP) at tinurture noong isang taon?

Hinuli na naman si Dionisio noong Sabado sa kasong rebellion daw. Mga ahente naman ng Criminal Investigation and Detection Group ng Philippine National Police ang dumapot sa kanya noong Sabado.

Nakakulong siya ngayon sa Camp Karingal sa Quezon City. Hindi maa-aring magpiyansa sa rebellion. Kaya mukhang plano ng pamahalaan pabulukin si Dionisio sa kulungan.

Lies moms have to tell detained officers’ kids

“THE lies that we have to say just to protect them.”

Jopay Sales related a story about her three-year-old twins, Frances Danielle and Daniel Francis, showing how the detention of her husband, Capt. Frederick Sales, has taken a toll on their family life.

A week before their graduation from nursery school last month, Frances and Daniel were in their school bus. Everybody was excited about the graduation ceremonies. The kids were looking forward to their parents going up the stage with them, especially those who would be receiving awards.

Two letters

This is a first person account by my friend and fellow blogger, Joel.

Joel’s first letter to our e-group was sent last Friday. It’s heartwarming:

Last Monday, I gave a Trillanes campaign shirt and stickers to a young lady. It was during a meeting I had with a group from Bicol. This group from Bicol is supporting Sonny, Sonia Roco and Chiz Escudero. This morning while giving away Sonny’s stickers in Marikina, I ran into the very same lady. She was with a group of retired soldiers giving away Trillanes shirts and stickers. They had the stickers and shirt I gave copied. There were kids along with them. I later learned these kids are grandchildren and kids of those who were with the girl.

Anomalya sa DepEd computers

Published by Ellen on April 14, 2007

Mabuti lang nabulgar ng Inquirer ang bagong anomalya sa Department of Education tungkol sa overpriced computers. Kung hindi may gagamitin na naman sana ang mga kandidato ni Gloria Arroyo sa Bicol, kasama na ang kanyang anak na si Dato, sa pamimili ng boto sa eleksyon.

Panibagong version ng fertilizer scam sana ang nangyari.

Ito ay isa na namang ehemplo kung paano ginagamit ng mga walang pusong pulitiko ang kalamidad para sa kanilang pansariling interest.

Gross,clear, grave injustice

More photos of April 10 hearing in Tanay. Click on photos to enlarge:

The case of 2nd Lts. Caesar Daen and Percival Alcanar, who were unjustly accused of participating in the Oakwood mutiny and imprisoned for four years, only for the military to admit last Wednesday that their evidence is weak, shows the stupidity and inhumanity of this administration.

Last Wednesday, the military court presided by Brig. Gen. Nathaniel Legazpi which is trying the case of the Magdalo soldiers in connection with what is called the Oakwood mutiny on July 27, 2003, said it was “with a deep sense of justice” that they were dismissing charges against Daen and Alcanar because the “evidence is manifestly weak.”

Oreta,Esperon,GMA,FVR- most distrusted

Published by Ellen on April 12, 2007

By Regina Bengco of Malaya

A Pulse Asia survey conducted April 3-5 showed the biggest net distrust for Armed Forces chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon Jr. and administration senatorial candidate Teresa Aquino-Oreta.

The survey, which had 1,200 respondents, showed the five persons having the biggest level of distrust were Oreta with 43 percent; President Arroyo, former president Fidel Ramos, and Esperon, all with 41 percent; and Elections chairman Benjamin Abalos, Sr. with 40 percent.

Pulse Asia said exactly the same percentage of Filipinos (41 percent) either distrust Esperon or cannot say if they trust or distrust him, leaving no more than two out of ten among those surveyed avowing trust in him.

Nanindigan ang magkambal na Langkit

Published by Ellen on April 11, 2007

May puso at konsyensa ba itong si Gen. Hermogenes Esperon, AFP chief of staff?

Lumabas na ngayon ang gusto niyang mangyari sa kanyang pag-bartolina kay Capt. Dante Langkit ng sampung buwan. At ito ay para mapilitan ang batang opisyal na mag-traidor sa kanyang mga kasamahan, lalo na kay Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim.

Sinabi noong Martes ni Danzel Langkit, kambal ni Capt. Langkit, pinasabi ni Esperon na papayagan si Dante makalaya para magkandidato kung mag-state witness siya. Ibig sabihin, idiin ni Dante ang kanyang mga kapwa akusadong opisyal sa kanilang bintang na mutinyo pag-alsa laban kay Gloria Arroyo.

Absurdities in Magdalo case

Published by Ellen on April 11, 2007

After four years in jail, Army 2Lts Ceasar Daen nd Percival Alcanar, walked free this morning and returned to regular duties after the court martial admitted that the evidence against the two young officers was “manifestly weak.”

The panel hearing the case on the Oakwood mutiny said “it is with deep sense of justice” that they were dropping charges against Daen and Alcanar, who were never near Oakwood on July 27, 2003.

Why it took them almost four years to find that out reflects the inhumanity and stupidity of the military under the Arroyo administration.

Esperon offered Langkit liberty if he turns against co-accused

CAMP Capinpin, Tanay, Rizal – Armed Forces chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon Jr. has offered liberty to Army Capt. Dante Langkit, one of those implicated in last year’s failed coup, in exchange for turning state witness, Langkit’s twin brother claimed yesterday.

Interviewed at the sidelines of the ongoing court martial of the suspected coup plotters, Dante’s twin Danzel said Esperon made the offer through his executive assistant, Col. Daniel Lucero, last March 26.

“The executive assistant said that (offer) was from Gen. Esperon. In exchange for (Dante’s) release, he has to turn state witness against the group of Gen. (Danilo) Lim,” Danzel said.
Lim, erstwhile commander of the First Scout Ranger Regiment; and former Marine commandant Maj. Gen. Renato Miranda reportedly planned to lead their men to the Edsa Shrine on Feb. 24, 2006 where they would withdraw support from President Arroyo. The alleged plan was foiled when the AFP leadership detained Lim hours before the planned march to Edsa.
