This is what you call adding insult to injury.
By Veronica Uy in Inquirer.net
The police director for Western Visayas has recommended awards for the policemen who stormed the Iloilo provincial capitol last week in an attempt to physically evict Governor Niel Tupas Sr.
Chief Superintendent Wilfredo Dulay admitted this before the Senate hearing on the capitol assault, which many quarters have dubbed an “overkill” based on television footage of the incident which showed heavily armed Regional Mobile Group personnel training their weapons on unarmed civilians, among them Tupas’ son and namesake, who is also a member of the Provincial Board.
In his letter to the Philippine National Police (PNP) Director General Oscar Calderon dated January 21, Dulay “recommended appropriate awards for all tasked personnel for carrying out successfully the lawful order of higher PNP authority.”
When asked by Senator Franklin Drilon, head of the Senate committee on public order and illegal drugs which is conducting the hearing into the capital assault, why Dulay wanted the members of the team rewarded, the police officer said it was because there was no bloodshed.Dulay told the panel that a total of 65 policemen formed the assault team while 182 others were assigned to the crowd dispersal group outside the capitol.
Drilon called the operation “highly unusual,” noting that while the police intelligence report used to justify the assault indicated that there were unlicensed firearms and communist rebels in the capitol, no weapons were recovered nor rebels arrested during the actual operation.
Dulay said it was a “judgment call” of the forces on the ground to implement the order of the Ombudsman to remove Dulay from his office at the capitol.
The senator said his committee finds the single hearing sufficient to make a report even with the absence of Secretaries Raul Gonzalez of Justice and Ronaldo Puno of Interior and Local Government, Puno’s undersecretary Wencelito Andanar, and Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez.
Sige, bastusan na!
Gosh, never seen like it. Awards for having stormed a civilian outfit on the orders of a kenkoy?
Shit, this is what we call kenkoy awards. What if somebody died during an onslaught by shooting himself? Might as well give them Coca Cola tansan – cheaper by the thousands. After all, the awards have lost their significance. A smart policeman can even have those certificates, medals, pins manufactured and to cover himself with Kenkoy Calderon awards.
Sige, kenkoyan na kayo!
The PNP police leadership is totally out of his depth. He’s lost all sense of values. Geez! You don’t recommend a whole contingent of policemen who were poised for an overkill – prepared to shoot down civilians.
Kenkoy Calderon is making a mockery of awards, which should be given only for exemplary conduct in the face of odds.
Mga gunggong! Tanga! Stupido! Engot na bastos pa! Awards, my foot! Sige babuyin mo na ang mga awards… those stupid Calderon awards don’t mean anything anymore!
I just watched the award-winning movie “Babel” last night. A simple act of miscommunication and irresponsibility of a person affects the lives of other people. The incident in Iloilo is an example of miscommunication and irresponsibility of the main actors involved in the incident.
What did Calderon think he was doing when he ordered Dulay 65 policemen to form the assault team while 182 others were assigned to the crowd dispersal group outside the capitol?
That’s why there are so many criminals floating around because the police leadership only knows how to show off on TV but not in real life.
While we are at it, why doesn’t Calderon recommend himself for the Victoria Cross! Duwag! Duwag! Kenkoy na duwag pa!
I bet my bottom dollar that Calderon would shake in his boots if he saw how the police here do things yet aren’t given awards just like that.
Tanga! Calderon, you are shit! You have debased, demeaned, devalued the meaning of an award!
The PNP should be given “Aliw or “Action-Comedy” Awards!!!
Baligtad talaga ang mundo sa ilalim ng rehimen ni Dirty Mama Glueria! Onli in da Pilipins that an illegal act is rewarded!
How much each one of the storm troopers got? What about Chief Superintendent Wilfredo Dulay, magkano ka?
With a precedent like this, the citizenry must be vigilant. Baka i-armalite na lang sila dahil may reward pala ang mga ganitong gawain ng mga pulis ni Glueria.
Anna,
Dahan-dahan! But wait, Calderon? Hindi ba iyan iyong pinsan ni Fatso Dorobo? Wow! Family affair pa ang labas ha!
Gosh, mga hoodlums pinupuri? Tawag diyan, Anna, mga tarantado, inutil! Puro paporma lang, wala namang ibubuga!
Reminds me of the murder of Panfilo Villaruel as a matter of fact. Maraming alam iyong mama, niyari sa utos ni Burot Dorobo. Golly, kitang-kita naman na nakikipag-usap sa telepono sa isang announcer, live broadcast pa, tinadtad ng baril ng mga bobong inutil na pulis daw! Parang mga gangsters sa mga pelikula ni Al Capone.
Over here, tinatanggalan ng mga tsapa ang mga ganyan inutil na pulis because they are not allowed to kill even the most hedious criminals!!! Iyan ang tinatawag na progressive, hindi katulad sa Pilipinas na parang 19th century OK Corral USA. May lynching pa!
But what can Filipinos expect? Puro criminal ang liders nila unang-una na iyong nagplano ng pagpapaalis kay Erap at umupo sa ibabaw ng Saligang Batas ng Pilipinas na parang ginawang pamahid ng puwit na pakana pala unang-una ng asawang pablik pigyur!
Ano iyan, puro dorobo, inutil at bugaw?! Puede ba, si Bugaw na asta prostituta pa, SIPAIN NA! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
Buti ka pa , Blacknight,you were able to watch “Babel” already. I wanted to yesterday but I was so busy.Habulin ko na lang sa DVD.
Survival din ang dating ni Calderon, Anna. Doing his duty to his cousin and the Pandak at the expense of sane and proper Filipinos. Kasalanan din ng mga pilipino iyan sa totoo lang. Pinawiwili nila ang mga hoodlums and criminals to dictate on them. Alam naman nilang wala nang rule of law, hindi pa rin sila humihirit. Hanggang blogging na lang although I know you and I are doing more!
This reminds me of a quote from Mother Theresa’s that says, “We, the unwilling,led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.”
Sige, tira lang! Who knows, we may be doing a difference?!
Ellen,
You can download the file. I’ll send you the lead if you want. I’ve seen it already. It’s about a rifle given to a Moroccan by a Japanese hunter, whose wife committed suicide, and an American was shot with it by the son of the Moroccan who bought it from the original recipient of the gun. It’s to show I guess how people around the world cannot now be indifferent to the problems of people of other countries because of such interlocking events.
You have to download a bittorrent client however to be able to download the file. I downloaded mine in an hour or two with my fibros optic connection.
I can easily get a DVD copy, Yuko. Thanks.
If there will be award given to the troopers, it should be in the ACTING CATEGORY if we will follow the statement of acting secretary of justiis na palabas lang ang nangyari.
Say ni sir raul o: The assault was all a charade and not a raid. Moro-moro lang yan dahil kaibigan ni Tupas si Dulay.
Seriously, veteran journalist Amando Doronila described the assault succinctly when he said: This storming of the capitol highlighted the excessive use of force in the attempt to evict (Gov. Niel) Tupas from office, after he had refused to bow to the arbitrary dismissal order of the Ombudsman while he was seeking relief from the order with the Court of Appeals.
The assault also confirmed the underlying repressive and fascistic character af the Arroyo regime.
It’s a deplorable effort by Police Na Panis (PNP) General Wilfredo Dulay to recommend an award. What kind of award? Over-acting award! Well, over-acting award shall be given to: Acting Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez and Acting Interior Secretary Ronnie Puno. It shall be presented by acting permanent&fake President Gloria Arroyo. The Gestapo-like blitzkrieg raid on Iloilo provincial capitol must be rebuked not to be glorified. Who is the enemy of the state?
‘langyang katwiran ‘yan. kitang kita ang ebidensiya ng pagmamalabis, walang pakundangang pagwasak sa ari arian ng kapitolyo at paggamit ng dahas, gagawaran pa ng parangal? onli in da pilipins ander da lidership op da akting temporari permanent president sa tulong ng sira ulong sekretari of indyastis gagonggonzalez.
mga bulok! tanga! utak bangaw! booooooooooooooooooooo!
I have a very close relative who is from Iloilo. She said that Tupas is a good governor and not corrupt. No wonder Tiyanak, SiRAULo and Caldero(pot) want to eliminate him. They can not use him for their dirty work.
Awarding these over acting soldiers is a BIG JOKE. Sabagay, uso naman ang rewards sa Tiyanak para sa mga corrupt niyang alalays. See, Reyes was rewarded for overthrowing Erap, then her election cheating generals headed by Assperon all got promoted, Ebdame will be the DND head, Garci is now running for a higher office and scott free. It pays to be a hoodlum in tiyanak’s kingdom! What else is new? Lahat ng matitino are jailed. This is the Tiyanak kingdom, remember?
Pacman was exempt from the gun ban for his 20 guns. Remember he a friend of the First Pigur, Sabit Swing-son and other high ranking people! Poor Pacman, he is supposed to be a champ but his values will drag him down to the underworld! He allowed himself to be exploited. He thinks it is cool to be aligned with these vultures. Little does he know, he is just being used. STUPID!

But Malacañang keeps distance on issue
Palace hand suspected in Atong’s plea-bargain
By Dona Policar

Charlie “Atong” Ang’s recantation and his pointing to detained President Estrada as the recipient of the P130 million diverted from the tobacco excise tax have all the marks of Malacañang and its dirty tricks.

he he heeeh. anader pagpapatawa. sino pa ba ang dapat pagsuspetsahan, si erap ba? nya ha ha ha ha haaaaah!!
Reading what you guys have written so far it seems that you have maybe missed the vital issue, and that is have they the PNP broken the law:
assault (n) is the physical or verbal attack; violent physical attack.
Even a fear of bodily harm, or an unlawful threat of bodily violence or harm to somebody else or an attempt to do such such violence or harm. (Microsoft® Encarta® Premium Suite 2005. © 1993-2004 Microsoft Corporation).
According to the definition, everyone and their uncle knows this incident was at minimum ‘assault’ so a crime was committed and these PNP raiding team should be charged, all of them.
But of course we remember the Traffic Group who shot dead the occupants of a vehicle alleged to be ‘carknapers’ at point blank with no warning, caught on video.
Within 24 hrs they were given awards, even though they were being investigated at that time.
Again, planned violence was committed by police carrying high powered longarms and in full view of cameras assaulted unarmed civilians. Again being awarded medals within a matter of hours even though an investigation is on-going.
Now here’s the bitter pill, don’t just blame the PNP and authorities. Why because people, the public, should be demanding that these PNP are arrested, not looking on thinking leaving it to somebody else to complain, because they won’t.
I’ve said before in this blog worse is yet to come, unless we stop the rot.
BTW. as bloggers lets at least try to stop sniping at each other when we have plenty of topics to discuss using our mental energy to snipe at this administration and jokers calling themselves police. We know they are a disgrace to their uniforms but they need to be told and told again.
Glo yodel all the way to your meeting and stay there. Enough is Enough.
Joeseg: “The assault also confirmed the underlying repressive and fascistic character af the Arroyo regime.”
*****
Sinabi mo pa, Joeseg. Filipinos should watch that movie on Hitler starring Robert Carlyle as Hitler. Same beginning and repressive acts.
Bagay na bagay iyong caricature ng mga rallyists ng Akbayan laban sa Unanong kriminal. Like Hitler, magbabayad din siya ng mahal balang-araw.
Not only does it confirm the underlying repressive and fascistic character af the Arroyo regime. It also confirms that during the Hitler repressive and facist actions the general public looked on in denial, whilst millions were tortured and murdered.

A bit of comedy for you guys, hope you enjoy:

“Iloilo storm troopers recommended for award” ?
Why an award ? Are they respected by the people ? ROTTEN EGGS should be thrown at them ! THAT IS WHAT THEY DESERVE !
Chabeli:
Maybe you hit the nail on the head, Rotten Eggs could be the order of the day. A large percentage of the electorate are completely unsure who to support in the elections. But if these electorate see a politician get pelted with Rotten Eggs then for sure they will remember them and not vote for that polititian. Better than a SMS message.
Glo your first Enough is Enough.
politician – sorry
I’ve just related in another thread how a German foreign journalist gave the Phils a real thumbs down on corruption, lawlessness and poverty among all Asian countries. The recent incident in Iloilo city was his example how government offcials down to the police put the law into their hands! And worst, he compared the Filipinos’ situation to the Cubans under Castro!”That Cubans are in a better situation under Castro, than Filipinos under the present regime!”
Akig gid ko kaayo…!
Elvira Hi,
Could you ever imagine this happening in Germany today, I know very well the Germans will be shocked that this is happening in the Philippines, let alone the PNP receiving awards for their violent acts, Crazy or what. But unless something is done about it, things will become worse.
WWNL:
I just didn’t mention what this journalist say as a conclusion: He wonders why Filipinos could still sleep soundly..ngork..ngork.. over its dismal situation!
Di ba, something should be done…before mabubuang lahat ng mga tao diyan?
In the absolute, the “Iloilo storm troopers recommended for award” cannot be blamed for this over-acting.
It’s their leadership who must be roasted in the press, on national television and for real for a show of overkill.
I have the impression that Calderon is trying to leave an imprint in the minds of Filipinos: Sort of, “This is what’s gonna happen to you folks if you don’t do as Gloria says…”
He’s a watched too many C-rated movies and probably believes he’s the reincarnation of Rambo.
Bobo!
Magno’s “utak bangaw! booooooooooooooooooooo!”
Hahahahah!
Anna, there’s a but…and that is when we saw this group of PNP men with their high powered longarms pointing to the the young men and a woman and pushing them to the ground even though these civilians were unarmed, these PNP men have to take responsibility for their own actions, they must be able to defend their actions or take the consequences of that action, I doubt whether that is standing orders, if it is it needs revising.
The point is each time the PNP get away with each incident of violent acts it becomes standard procedure. We know already their training is wanting, to allow them to adopt this situation is dangerous. Each time the video clip has been shown I’ve looked to see who’s in command at the scene, but I can’t see anyone obvious. Its a Walt Disney production.
WWNL,
Right on! As we say, don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
Also, WWNL, these police terrorist look alikes should remember: THEY DON’T HAVE TO OBEY ILLEGAL ORDERS.
Elvira, WWNL,
Can you imagine Ebdane being the DND chief? He will transform the military into a police outfit!
The American trainers of our poor, inept AFP will be scratching their heads when Ebdane puts it in his head to use Calderon’s “instruction manuals!”
Hahahaha!
Anna,
You bet! Not in my dreams nor yours…ambisyoso ba siya o ang bossing niyang Daga? Hik, hik, hik!
Elvira & Anna
When a jounalist gives the opinion that the phil is worse than Cuba…what a bloody mess we are in eh!
Naku, Yuko, there are a few things that make me angry but nothing like raging angry when a pendejo leader, i.e., Calderon, Dulay, etc., of a para-military, police, military outfit debase, demean, devalue the meaning of awards….
Tang’&à!çè(!ç§è&z§&!ç§(x’ nila!
WWNL, Cuba ain’t that all bad believe me, been there!
Because of the US embargo, they may have problems but their tourism industry is tops, a lot better than Pinas.
Their children ALL go to schools. Health care system is universal.
In times of natural calamities, they are well-prepared, better than the US and never mind Pinas!
Its said that the evil womder woman is perfectly built for a high pitched yodel because her ass is so close to the ground. Glo get your ass out of the palace Enough is Enough.
Anna:
Yep, I was aware that the US were successful with their bad press towards Cuba, but never been there. Good place to get a classic car though.
Hahaha! True: “Good place to get a classic car though.”
Old Cadillacs! Great stuff too.
And what has the Raiding Team Accomplished? Nada!! But the confirmation that they can’t even conduct a simple case of ejecting from the Capitol an old Governor with their heavily armed troopers.
By the way, Maher Arar, the Canadian of Syrian Descent that was deported by U.S. Authorities to his Native Syria for extraction of information by torture of Syrian Intelligence as a terrorist suspect on the “wrong” Intelligence supplied by the Canadian Intelligence Service and the Mounties, has come to the settlement with the Government of Canada to the reported amount of $10 millions or more and an apology from the PM. Now We want Gloria to do the same to all the Filipinos that were wronged. For More details go to:
http://www.thestar.com/News/article/175180
Vic,
“Now We want Gloria to do the same to all the Filipinos that were wronged. For More details go to:”
I know you’re serious but really, I almost fell off my chair after reading that.
A Gloria apology for having wronged people? Yes, maybe but she will be crossing her fingers behind her back.
Might as well ask a baboy to say oink, oink!
with ebdane in dnd, no chance. i wonder if ebdane was the one who built the bridges to nowhere, now he can build planes and ships to nowhere too.
hehehehe! Norpil, you are a wonderful soothsayer!
anna, today PM Harper will announce to the Canadian People and to the world the settlement with Mr. Arar followed by an Apology and a Rebuke to American Ambassador Wilkens for telling Ottawa to butt off America’s Affair. Ambassador Wilkens told us to butt off their affairs politely and in return our PM will rebuke him politely. And maybe suggest to his government along with the Syrian to own up to their roles in Mr. Arar sufferings..
And only if Gloria has that kind of heart and compassion toward her subjects that were wronged, the many victims of Extra-Judicial killings, The missings, the victims of her intellegence and military and police. We can’t avoid making mistakes in the name of security and public peace, but when such have been comitted, we have to find out why, compensate the victims, and apologize and put all measures that same mistakes would not be repeated again.
Vic, that news was a big thing here in Europe.
There is NO COMPARISON, not even in the slightest – Canada’s PM is civilized while Gloria is oink, oink! In other words, BABOY!
Anna, Chi, All:
Gising na ang mga ungas! Wait for the outpouring of trashes after yours and my contributions.
Ellen, please delete the above viral mail(s).
mga ganito ang concrete examples ng breakdown ng mga institutions;
tignan natin ang ganito: matapos ang pananalakay sa Kapitolyo, kinundina ito ng marami;
ang Senado personalities nagpahayag ng pangamba, pagkagitla, at pagkasuya;
ang ilang ULAP personalities ganuon din;
ang media organizations, binatikos ang sobrang display ng puwersa at kahandaan ng PNP gumawa ng violence;
ang Commission of Human Rights, ini-imbistigahan ang nasabing insidente;
hindi pa nga resolbado ang ISYUNG ito, ang gunggong na Hepe ng PNP for W. Visayas, gusto bigyan ng awards yung mga pulis, malaking HHHHAAAA?
Breakdown ng mga institutions, pinakamalupit dito sa termino ng pekeng Pangulo.
What do you expect from a fake president? All her military officers also follow and execute fake orders. Just like anything she does, giving juicier positions to those who cheat for her, her officers are simply emulating her actions. THE CURRENT PNP’S CREED IS-DO A BAD DEED AND YOU WILL BE PROMOTED TO THE NEXT CORRUPT POSITION AND WILL BE AWARDED A MEDAL OF VALOR FOR A CHEATING, CURRUPTING AND ABUSING WELL DONE!
