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.
Danzel said he was in Esperon’s office last March 26 to follow up the Feb. 21 letter of his brother requesting permission to be allowed out of detention to campaign in Kalinga where he was planning to run for congressman.
“If he (Dante) wants to be released, he has to turn state witness,” Langkit quoted Lucero as saying.
Lucero declined to comment on Danzel’s claim.
Danzel said he told his brother about the offer but Dante rejected it. “He did not agree. He said, ‘How can I be a state witness when I’m not guilty, I’m not a rebel,’” Danzel quoted his brother as saying. Danzel said Dante instead decided to drop his plan to run for Congress.
That same day, Danzel said he himself decided to file his certificate of candidacy for the same post to pursue his brother’s vision of helping their provincemates.
Has treachery or “snitching” on your comrades become Esperon’s code for the AFP?
Frankly, am not surprised. Esperon has no honour, no pride, no courage to confront the more honourable and more courageous lot of officers and men in the military.
Dapat i-court martial din si Esperon…For bribery!
Wag siyang magkakamali, di ko pa itinatapon yung mga Easter Eggs ko. Ipambabato ko ito sa kanya!
I thought they have evidences against the accused officers as claimed by bacarro then why ‘bribe’ Capt Lankit?
Esperon has lost everything including his balls.
Assperon is a real ASS!
Hindi bagay sa kanya ang military career. He should have chosen politics instead… in the likes of his kumander-in-thief Tianak and Sabit. Bagay na bagay silang tatlong bugok na itlog!
Ang aksiyon ni Esperon ay isang act of desperation.
Malapit nang lumigwak ang kanilang pamamayagpag. Kitang kita na at maliwanag sa mga indikasyon na ang kanilang pananatili sa pwesto kasama si Mrs. Arroyo ay bilang na ang oras. Ilang tulog na lang.
Sa latest surveys, kahit sa local level, umaarangkada ang mga sumasalungat sa administrasyon. Sa mock elections sa mga opisina, mga OFWs sa HK at Taiwan, kumakain ng alabok ang mga pakawala ng administrasyon. Kabado na si Esperon dahil kasama siya sa lalagapak sa takdang panahon.
“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.”
========================================================
saludo ako dito sa plano nilang gawin. hindi kamukha noong mga mutineer sa oakwood na naglagay pa ng mga bomba sa civilian at private properties. kung ordinaryong tao ang naglagay ng bomba, criminal offense. pero pag sila, hero?
Querubin was shouting about the foiled plot for them to bomb the rallyists that day in February 2006. He was not talking about another tableau ala-EDSA 2. So what is this BS Esperon is offering Langkit and telling him to squeal his fellow soldier and commander about?
Point is who are the idiots who OK’d the appointment of this Esperon? Golly, bakit nakalusot ang bastos at inutil na mamang iyan? Dapat panagutin lahat ang mga bulok na nag-confirm sa ‘ayup na iyan sa Commission on Appointments na isa pang walang silbing ahensiya ng pamahalaan. Lahat na lang nababoy na ng mga baboy na squatters ng Malacanang, pati simbahan!
PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! IBASURA ANG ADMINISTRASYON! IBOTO ANG OPOSISYON! GO 11+0! SAKIT NG PILIPINAS, SI TRILLANES ANG LUNAS! LINISIN ANG PILIPINAS!
Any person directly or indirectly,gives,offer or promises anything of value to any person,for or because of testimony under oath or affirmation given or to be given by such person as a witness upon trial,hearing or other proceedings,before any court,any committee of either house or both houses of Congress,or any agency,commission, or officers authorized by laws to hear evidence or take testimony is guilty of a crime.
Being a General and the commander-in thief,Esperon should know about this law,if he has a regard for the “Rule of Law”.He is an opposite,for he implemented the “Rule by Law”
Rule of law and rule by law differentiate in meaning.
Katatanggap ko lang nito thru email. Although off topic, I hope Ma’m Ellen will allow me to post these items:
1. First Gentleman Mike Arroyo underwent a “very high-risk surgery” due to aneurysm of the heart. Pagod na puso.
2. First Gentleman Mike Arroyo underwent a successful open heart surgery at the St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City. The public was very surprised. They didn’t know he had a heart.
3. Alan Peter Cayetano promised a ceasefire on issues involving the First Gentleman while he’s recovering and vowed to pray for him. Cayetano cannot afford to lose someone who has been “very helpful” to his senatorial campaign.
HNP;
Bakit dinala mo na naman ang usapan sa sakit at sa ospital,usapan ito ng mga abugado na kaso sa korte,ikaw,talaga! bakit hinihila mo ang usapan sa mga doctor,sakit at sa hospital.Di ka kaya napadpad sa ibang venue ng talakayan.Ang laki pa naman ng hospital ang ipinatayo mo.
sleepless,
I too pray for Mike’s speedy recovery. He cannot and must not die. He still has to face the charges leveled against him. He shouldn’t be allowed to take the easy way out.
Schumey
Tayo po namang mga Pinoy ay ayaw din natin na may namamatay lalo na’t ganyang may dapat panagutan. Tama kayo, kailangang bigyan pa siya ng mahabang buhay para harapin ang mga demanda laban sa kanya at mga demanda niya laban sa mga bumabatikos sa kanya kasama na si Ma’m Ellen.
It is important to remind Langkit that he is a good and courageous members of the Philippine Armed Forces that they are betrayed by the tyranny of Arroyo and her henchman Esperon,of which they are a victim, and he should reconsider and refuse to cooperate with the “Dos Diablos” no matter how enticing and alluring. It is also important to remind all members of the Armed Forces that they owe loyalty to the Pilipino people, of which they are part, and the national sovereignty resides in the citizen, not in the government. One of the factor that will ensure victory against the Kangaroo court of Esperon is they need to stick together and joined forces and implement defiance within their groups.
Back to the topic.
In offering Langkit freedom if he will turn against his co-accused, Esperon has certainly sharpened his skills by following the ways of his big little boss, Mrs. Arroyo, BRIBERY. But not everybody could be swayed and salivate to such offer for self-aggrandizement thus making Capt. Dante Langkit a very principled and straightforward officer. He’s no congressman who will forget his avowed public service in exchange for a booty and monetary reward which are witnesses in the case of the rwo impeachment proceedings and the much maligned conass.
Isang bahagi ng balitang kinopya ko sa pahayagan sa wikang Ingles. Nasa ibaba ang aking komento:
Health Secretary Francisco Duque said the President’s husband was able to write notes to his daughter and grandson on a sheet of computer paper.
“He already wrote a note. He said in his note to Luli ‘I love all of you,’ especially the youngest boy (grandson) Diggy,” Duque said.
But he said the handwriting was not very clear.
The health secretary said that when he touched Arroyo’s left arm and asked him if he could feel anything, the President’s husband raised both his arms (as if saying) “I’m OK.”
“And he was telling me (he made the sign of the cross and clasped his hands in prayer as his way of telling me) pray for me,” Duque said.
Komento: Ang sabi ni Health Sec. Duque hindi malinaw ang sulat kamay ni Mike. May nagsabi sa akin na ang pirma niya ay Jose Pidal. Nagulat si Luli nang mabasa.
Offering Langkit freedom if he turn state witness won’t do him any good. Esperon is desperately cunning him because even he created a Kangaroo court to tried these officers, his fabricated cases has no flavor. He need spices to make it taste good. Kulang sa timpla,walang panahog ang niluluto niyang pinakbet Ading ko.
The dispute in the evidence which refereed to a case must necessarily be construed, need to be corroborated by another witness complicity in the action for which the defendant is being charged. The evidence in the case is insufficient to show that the defendant committed a mutinous act. Esperon need another credible witnesses and he is enticing Langkit to turn a state witness, kasi ulol si Esperon. He is a lousy architect, he designed and constructed case without any solid foundation and it is beginning to collapse.Ginagawa niya ang lahat ng paraan kasi papaluin siya sa puwit ni punggok kung hindi niya maipanalo ang kaso.—–Ganoon lang kasimple iyan Ading! One plus one lang ay equals one,sa matik-matik ng gung-gong.
What is this? Esperon, The Judge, The Prosecutor and the Jury? And the Hangman…Philippine Justice>>>
Atty. Cokecoy, ang galing mo naman. Nag-aral ka ba ng law?
artsee:
nakakatawa naman ang komento mo!
Si Duque naman nagmimistulang ot-ot sa mga Arroyo.
Ulol na at gago rin itong si Duque! Kung pangkaraniwang mga pasyenteng Pinoy sa PGH, Jose Reyes Hospital, East Avenue Hospital, V. Luna at Labor Hospital at iba pang nanggigitatang mga hospital sa kalakhang Maynila – hindi mo sya makikita!
May makikita at malalaman ka bang mga press conference pa ng mga pangkaraniwang Pinoy sa mga Ospital?
Philippine Media is corrupt!
Eh ano ngayon kung ma-ospital yan si Mike Arroyo?
Dahil ba kakagatin ng taumbayan kung ito ay nasa front page ng mga dailies?
anong klaseng lipunan ito?
Duque, kapangalan mo pa naman si ‘T. Edu Que’ na taga PBA noong 80’s.
Artsee;
Naging outlaw ako kaya alam ko ang butas,kahit itanong mo pa kay Batas Mauricio.
BRIBERY!
That is this regime’s policy. Kailnagng bilihin nila ang mga kakampi para dumami ang alipores ng mag-asawang peke.
Buking na -to high heavens- ang mga walang “#$%$&’ na yan, pero nagtatagal pa rin sa puwesto.
Sabagay, malapit na sila….unti2 naka-Karma na nag mga AYUP. Nagsisimula na ang Husga ng Langit sa mga yan….
Kita mo si pidal….
ASSperon…AYUP ka talaga!
Sama na kayo ng kumander-in-CHEAT mo!
TADO!
Vic said:

Sinabi mo pa! That’s JUSTICE to them….who lick the ass of the Cheat.
But for those who SEE what is Right
and have the WiSDOM to choose what is Right…
JUST-TIIS ka na lang!
Bribery is a crime. In fact, it is what they can probably charge Erap with, not plunder for I don’t think Erap has squandered any public funds during his tenure of office. He should be charged with it together with Chavit Singson, who has admitted that he offered and gave Erap money so he would not be charged with illegal gambling. If Erap has to be punished for what he did, Singson should be given much harsher punishment for being the main culprit in this bribery case that actually we know now to be part and parcel of the plan to bring Erap down plotted by the Fatso and his wife, the bogus president.
If the husband of this bogus president is not a public figure, as the administration laptog claim he is not, during the height of Senate investigation of his supposedly “German bank account”, then why the big hype of media exposure on his “bypass operation” and continous recovery monitoring?
Tama ka Mang Emilio. Hindi daw public figure pero pati pag-utot lang sa ospital nasa media pa. Pero kapag kaso laban sa kanyang pagnanakaw, hindi daw puwedeng ipamalita dahil hindi naman daw siya public figure at isa siyang asawa ng pangulo.
God really knows how to punish evil people,in the beggining we had the daughter of jdv burned,abalos favorate apo was hospitalized and became history,then wycocco of nbi and now the boss!the equivalent of godfather in gangland who is now breathing by ventilator in a known metro manila hospital.
are this evil people doesn`t have conscience at all? this evil people do everything just to stay in power,they don`t have any care to the poors and to millions of filipinos,they will do everything even to kill any filipinos that will go against them and expose their evil,corruption and cheating..they even invent charges so journalist like ellen and others will be jailed or worst killed,they lie everyday as if we all filipinos are so stupid and dumb to believed what they are saying..no amount of prayers even the best doctors in the world or all the money you stole to the filipino people will save you..it`s so timing that this thing happens in the middle of election campaign,i do believed that with all our prayers,how hard it is,evil in this country will not triumph!!i ask all filipinos not to stop praying for now we see that there is light at the end of the tunnel!!let us all not stop praying!!mabuhay po tayo!! ang ating bansa at ang sambayanang filipino!!
Assperon really has lost dignity. Is this what a “supposed to be professional” soldier teach his men? Palibhasa, hindi siya marine. Is this what they teach the cadets in the PMA, to turn your comrades in at the first sign of defeat? Yan ang hirap sa mga REMF na katulad ni Assperon.
Tongue said he saved all his Easter eggs, I had grenades in mind.
Kayong mga utak talangka ang lalong nagpapalubog sa bayan nyo. Umaangat na nga pilit nyo pa ring pinapalubog sa mga pinagasabi nyo. Maawa naman kayo sa mga anak nyo kung ang mamanahin nila ay mga negatibong pag iisip nyo.
well, nakaboto na din ako sa Absentee ballot (SFO).. I voted 10 GO and 2 IND…Sana mabilang ang boto ko alam mo naman ang mga tao sa SFO embassy maka Gloria ang mga iyan.
We are in a democratic space or we are in a cyber democratic space. Right after the dilirious days of martial in the 70s, the political pluralism was implemented for the sake of democracy.
Remember blogging is only an opinion, it is the voice of everybody, it is the right of all to share. We have to be thankful at least in cyber space we are able to voice out our opinion freely.
Hindi ko lubos maisip kung paano lulubog ang bayan if we are merely praticing our freedom to speak legally, it is very democratic.
Siguro mas lulubog ang Bayan kung hindi titigil ang pag kurakot ng Fertilizer Fund.
Cpt Langkit was the former close aide of esperon. He knew much about esperon’s dirty jobs.
Lucero is Esperon’s closest aide. His classmate, Col Ano, is the ISG chief. Capt Lankit is detained at isg. They held Lankit in solitary detention for almost a year. They were not able to break him. Bribery is their last and desperate move. It failed.
Esperon has totally lost his mind. His chair is breaking. His end is near.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE FILIPINO PEOPLE
My countrymen,
We have been branded the most corrupt nation in Asia, a tag of shame we all decry — and it is time we take stock of ourselves, not to deny or blame others — but to face this grave challenge and stem the crisis that continues to plague the nation, saps our moral values and distorts our determination to build the future.
Nations, just like men, face the varied challenges. Sometimes they face glory, other times, shame. In the Philippines, we faced glory when we fought and won freedom against Spain before the turn of the 20th century; we also reaped just pride after the people’s revolution at EDSA I in 1986 even foreigners across the globe acclaimed the nation for what we did. A bartender in the US addressed a group of OFWs and said “drinks on the house of everyone — for what the Filipino did at EDSA!” Sadly, today, we receive no praise for glory. Instead, we face shame — for corruption. Filipinos are shabbily treated abroad, eyed with suspicion, mocked behind their backs, denigrated. A Filipino was asked his nationality at one airport, and he responded shamefully, “Japanese.” This is deplorable.
The Filipino is, by nature, not corrupt. We only have to turn back the pages of history and see anew the images of Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio as they met for the first time to discuss the formation of a new movement, the La Liga Filipina. Rizal having sacrificed the meager sums sent to him from home to publish Noli Me Tangere, and Andres Bonifacio struggling as a bodegero in the wake of the founding of the Katipunan. Both were men of integrity, both with visions for an emerging nation. They and the generation that lived and died with them spawned the first democracy in Asia.
After the Philippine-American war, we changed course to regain independence from the fields of battle to the political arena.
The ravages of war and the brutal occupation under Japanese forces distorted Filipino values for a time, even as they brought forth the many unsung heroes across the land. We rose from the ruins and proudly learned the legacy of a brave woman like Josefa Llanes Escoda, founder of the Philippine Girl Scouts, who stood by her husband. Both she and her husband were tortured and slain by the Kempetai in Fort Santiago.
In 1946, we regained independence. Corruption reared its ugly head but men like Ceasar Climaco, Arsenio H. Lacson and Benigno S. Aquino fought the good fight. In 1972, we went through the rigors of martial rule and for the first year or two, some said that authoritarian rule could have been the right response to corruption. It obviously was not. In the wake of the 1986 EDSA revolution, we stood proud across the world.
Yet, today, the challenge of corruption has grown bigger, uglier; but the larger it grows, the more we must prepare for bigger and better responses. Chief Justice Reynaldo Puno has already made a significant start. Under his stewardship, the Supreme Court has dismissed an erring Court of Appeals justice, has heard the pleas of election lawyers concerning injustices in protest cases, and has prohibited spouses of justices from appointments to Court offices. His move may spout just a ripple in a huge national lake — but the ripple can turn into an eddy and the eddy, into a strong whirpool of change. We commend the Chief Justice. However, commendation alone does not seem adequate.
We must fight corruption. In the homes, in schools, in churches, in government itself. Let’s start with ourselves, in dealing with friends, neighbors, associates. According to an eminent statesman, “Example is the fastest model, the quickest guide, the best teacher — from fathers to children, from professor to students, from generals to privates.”
Let us now begin to battle corruption. If there is a BIR official who tries to extort money — let us denounce him. Where government personnel at the airport ask for a cash in exchange of services, let us condemn them. When there is a wrong, let us speak out and assert what is right. For if we pursue what is right, we tap, not only the native honesty of the Filipino but also leave a legacy to our sons and daughters. Let us start NOW to restore pride and honor and dignity to the Filipino. He deserves no less. Our children and the nation’s posterity deserve no less.
Mabuhay ang Filipino!
Sincerely,
Tito Guingona

Negatibong Pag-iisip?
Ok darling let us avoid negative thinking from now on let us think positively and move on, here we go: (but don’t puke!)
– Think positively, there was no massive poll cheating, she was the dully elected president.
– Think positively, nobody called Garci, “cellular phones” are mere myth futuristic communication gadget, hope someday somebody will invent them.
– Think positively, Filipino farmers are culturing their Lord’s land whilst living in luxury no need for a fertilizer fund. The fund is still available for loot.
– Think positively, we are enjoying the bliss of economy, more and more OAW (overseas American workers), OKW (overseas Korean workers), OJW (overseas Japanese workers), OSW (overseas Saudis workers) in bulk influx to the Philippines to work.
– Think positively, yesterday we have conquered the tallest peak, the smokey mountain.
– Think positively, “payless noodles” is the most expensive steak in the universe only the rich can afford.
Don’t wake up darling keep the economy moving.
wala na akong masasabi sa mga pinaggagagawa nitong si AFP cheat-of-staff hermogenes esparrot. palibhasa ay isang kurap na opisyal ng hubong sandatahan at walang paninindigan kaya ang lahat ay sa suhulan dinadaan. katulad ng baliw na babaeng mukhang dagang may naninilaw na ngiping asawa ng baboy sa malakanyang na ayaw umalis sa kanyang lungga, wala siyang alam kundi ang BILHIN ang sinuman na gusto niyang pigain kahit walang dahilan upang baligtarin ang prinsipyong ipinaglalaban.
habang ang katulad ng mag-among sukab ang nakapuwesto sa pinakamakapangyarihang opisina ng pamahalaan, asahan ang mabilis na pagkabulok ng lahat ng sistema ng pamunuan. mawawalang parang pinalis ng hangin ang delikadesa, malulusaw ang kahihiyan at itatapong parang basahan ang dangal ng kanilang pagkatao kapalit ang walang hanggang pananatili sa kapangyarihan.
kawawa ka, bayan naming sinilangan!
titingin na lamang ba tayo? tatayo sa isang sulok? tatanggapin ang lahat ng kanilang kawalanghiyaan? paano na ang bukas ng pagbabagong kaytagal na nating inaasam?
Fernando:
Ano ba ang positive thinking Mo? Mayroon ka bang solution para maalis ang corruption sa gobyerno? Kung mayroon ka mang idea,ibahagi mo naman sa amin baka sakaling makinig kami sa iyo,at mabago ang negative thinking namin.
Ok darling more positive here we go….!!
– Think positively, thank God legal activist are given due process, no killing spree at all in my country, yahoooo!
– Think positively, Gen. Palparan is a supreme pilanthropy he is better than Mahatma Ghandi.
– Think positively, Gen. Palparan was orphaned by Sister Theresa when he was a small boy, hence is on Sainthood now. Wow… Saint Palparan (Let us pray).
– Think positively, welcome to my paradise, the economy is boominng lets celebrate under the magnificent restaurant … under the Fly Over.
– Think positively, walang kurakot, walang garci, walang scam, walang weteng, no corruption, no pidals, the paradise is not the most corrupt in asia, the paradise has surpassed japan. That’s positive.
Sa corruption wala ng solusyon yan dahil nasa dugo na ng mga pilipino ang corruption kahit sino maluklok dyan ganon pa rin ang magyayari kumbaga nabago lang ang pangalan.
Ang sinasabi kong positive ay bakit sa kabila ng napakalalang kurakutan sa atin nagawa pang umangat ng pilipinas from THIRD COUNTRY to (Newly Industrialized Country) under the governance of your pandakekok.
Naalala ko tuloy yung kaibigan kong indonesian, tinawagan ako para lang itanong kung bakit biglang gumanda ang ekonomiya ng pilipinas ako rin nabigla sa tanong nya kc nag invest daw sya sa pinas dahil ang ganda ng ekonomiya ngayon.
Buti pa ibang lahi nakikita ang pagbabago ng pilipinas samantalang mismong pilipino puro negative ang nakikita.

I would like to be kinder to the dying but not to someone dying with no feeling of remorse nor humility in his heart. Sabi nga ni TT, sige sulat pa ng makakagalit kay Fatso para matuluyan na! Hahahaahahahaha!
Ilan kaya ang mga anak na pamamanahan niyan ng mga ninakaw nila mula sa kaban ng bayan, pawis at luha ng taumbayan lalo na ng mga OFW?!
Graft and corruption is not inherited. They are developed as the greedy become greedier and the crooks become more crooked!!! Sinong may sabing nasa dugo ng pilipino ang corruption? Maaari pa iyong pagkatraydor nasa dugo ng mga may lahing dugong-aso! 😛

‘Yan ang negative thinking- accepting that corruption can never be minimized and even blaming the Filipino genes for it. Losing hope that, one day, the Philippines can be better not because the rich are getting richer but because the poor are getting smarter- smart enough to know when their leaders are fooling around at the expense of the national coffers: This is the height of pessimism.
“Sige nga magbanggit ka ng isang politikong hindi nangorakot.”
Maaari ngang WALA PA, pero hindi nangangahulugang WALA NA.
All I have posted are “controversial facts” that hits our country negatively, I have put my post in a positve way as you wanted.
Jojovelas, re:“54 junior officers in foiled mutiny offer plea bargain”
Don’t be misled by the headlines. I was there during the hearing. I have been following the hearings of the Magdalo case. The plea bargain was for the lesser crime of “conduct prejudicial to public order.” That’s all they admit being guilty of. In exhange for that four charges of mutiny and others were dropped. I know a number of those officers. They never regretted what they did on July 27 2003.
Oo nga naman, hindi pala public pigyur si Fartso e bakit pinagkakaguluhan ng ilang miembro ng media.
Ang dapat nilang pagtuunan ng pansin, gaya ng ginagawa ni Ellen at ibang may prinsipyong journalists ay itong kaso ng Magdalo na may direct bearing sa kasalukuyan at kinabukasan ng pionoy at bansa. Ang tingin ko nga, ang pinakamabuluhang pressure para hindi malimutan ang kasong ito na sinasalahula ni Assperon ay nanggagaling dito sa Ellenville. Mabuhay ka Ellen.
Nakakadismaya ang hindi pagbibigay espasyo ng ilang pahayagan sa kaso ng Magdalo. Samantalang mag-fart lang si korap Pidal ay merong pang presscon! Tama kayo mga kapatid, so what kung maospital si Fartso? Wa ako paki, heh!
“- Think positively, yesterday we have conquered the tallest peak, the smokey mountain.
– Think positively, “payless noodles” is the most expensive steak in the universe only the rich can afford.”

Tilamsik, enjoy ako sa iyong positive thinking. Hahahahah!
Ka Enchong,
Nasabi mo na lahat ang aking nais sabihin. Galing mo!
By offering Capt Langkit “freedom” in exchange for his turning state witness, shows that the case against the courageous soldiers is very weak, and the military’s kanggaroo court has no solid evidence to pin them down. Esperon is a VERY BIG SHAME in the Philippine Military’s history!
luzviminda,
how was esparrot promoted? how did he obtain his 4 star general rank? his position as AFP cheat-of-staff?
still wondering why this crook acts like a mafia don buying everyone’s dignity?
siya lamang ang pinakanakakahiyang naging pinuno ng hubong sandatahang lakas ng pilipinas!
Schumey in response to sleepless: I too pray for Mike’s speedy recovery. He cannot and must not die. He still has to face the charges leveled against him. He shouldn’t be allowed to take the easy way out.
*****
Schumey,
Death comes when we least expect it. You are in fact being kind when you say that you want the Fatso to recover and get his due punishment while still on earth, for the punishment in hell is something that we cannot actually imagine.
I cannot in fact imagine the usual discription of hell as “a lake of fire and brimstone,” (Rev. 19:20) or “a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” (Matt. 13:50)
Frankly, I would rather leave the decision to God although I’d be a hypocrite if I say that I don’t wish he would give up the ghost now! At least, that would free the earth (Philippines to be exact) of one evil soul!
One thing that he can do in fact if he is able to get out of the hospital to show that he is worth going one degree higher than hell is to drop all his silly libel suits against those people who have prime responsibility to expose anomalous activities of people like him.
Next, will be to voluntarily surrender to the authorities for proper prosecution for violations he and his wife committed against the laws of the land, and return all their loots, etc.
I guess these things he should do are fair enough payments for his crimes against the people of the Republic of the Philippines.
Tribune’s Ninez C. Olivares wrote, “And all these roles being played by Esperon today have been proved and can hardly be disproved, as his words and actions, which are recorded, have shown that he had overturned the preliminary investigation report which called for the dismissal of the charges against the accused group but that he still insisted on having the group charged before the military court which he himself had constituted; that the military court takes all orders from Esperon and goes on with the court martial proceedings despite there being no strong evidence against the group presented and despite the fact that the PTI findings recommending the dismissal of the case have been totally ignored.”
This is a very disturbing observation. Filipinos should start worrying about this and have this idiot kicked out of the AFP before the Philippines turn into something like Darfur, etc. in Africa or the SLORC in Burma. They should worry about the loss of total freedom that would and could be enjoyed only artificially by being subservients to these crooks trying now to lord it over the Filipinos.
It’s probably now time for another “Cry of Balintawak”!
“Sige nga magbanggit ka ng isang politikong hindi nangorakot.”
Si Panfilo Lacson. O si Erap kaya, sa tagal niyang nanilbihan wala ni isang kaso maliban dito sa plunder na ang testigo ay ang Anghel na hindi marunong magsinungaling, si Chavit. Isama mo si dating Gov. Oca Orbos, si Cong. Ted Failon, si Cong. Padilla, atbp. Marami kung tutuusin. Yung meyor namin sa Pasay, dapat kasuhan ng unexplained poverty, pero ginawan ng paraan para yung may-ari ng sabungan ang maupo. Maraming politikong matino.

Teka, sino nagsabi sa iyo na ang Pilipinas, e newly-industrialized country na? Alam mo bang ang technical na requirement para tawaging NIC ang isang bansa ay 7% minimum GDP growth for 3 consecutive years? Kailan nangyari iyon? Sa panaginip siguro. Ang huling pagkakataong lumampas tayo sa 7% ay noong panahon pa ni Marcos, 1977. Mukha pa ngang pineke dahil yung paboritong numero ni Makoy iyan: 7% in ’77!
Baka ang naaalala mo, iyung praise-release kung saan sinabi ng Donya na SECOND WORLD na ang Pilipinas na mula sa THIRD WORLD ay papunta na sa INDUSTRIALIZED status sa loob ng 25 years. Alam mo ba ang ibig sabihin ng SECOND WORLD? I-Google mo na lang.

Mas naaawa ako sa mga anak mo kung ang mamanahin nila yang baluktot na pag-iisip mo, yung kawalang-pagasa, yung madaling mapaniwala ng kung sino. Kung ako sa iyo, tuturuan ko silang magbasa ng mabuti para matuto ng tama.
Tapos pag-blogin mo dito ng matutong gumuhit ng linyang tuwid…Kahit baluktot ang ruler.
Tongue,
Dapat patayuan ng rebulto ang mayor ninyo para sa kanyang “unexplained poverty”! Kahanga-hanga!
Problema nga, Chi, yung appeal sa disqualification case niya, hindi umuusad dahil may pera ang kalaban. Tapos may dalawang kaapelyidong pinatakbo itong kalaban niya, isa, tricycle driver, yung isa, istambay lang. Bastusan Republic nga sabi ni Anna.
TT:
Newly-industrialized country daw? Ang Pilipinas? Ng ano?
Sa totoo lang ang naming industry ng Pilipinas under this Gloria Pimp is “mass production of Filipinos” because there is actually nothing to produce with funds being stashed in some foreign banks or used as bribes for their fellow crooks in the government like the fertilizer funds that need to be investigated and the culprits punished. Mga farmers nga nagugutom na e.
Yes, gumagawa ng tao, tapos ibebenta sa ibang bansa as domestic helpers and/or prostitutes, who have been tagged by the Tiyanak’s puppies as “the Philippines’ No. 1 Export.
Another industry now is the selling of Filipino organs as the kidneys of the residents of Baseco, where they have deployed even a battalion of AFP medics to check on the health of those who have not donated their kidneys yet.
I actually was asked to translate into Japanese some interviews with those donors coming mainly from Baseco. The interviews were in fact used for some documentary on these donors in connection with this anomaly on foreign kidney donors considered illegal and unlawful in Japan.
Hindi mangyayari iyan industrialization sa panahon ni Gloria. Masyado siyang nakabaon sa utang na loob sa mga kasabwat niya ng agawin ang Malacañang.
Hindi siya industrialist. Dahil ang nangyayari ang kabaligtaran. Nag-aalisan na at papuntang China yung mga factories ng multinationals ngayon. Ang mga magsasaka, ini-encourage na mag-import ng bigas kesa magtanim para maniobrahin ng asawa niyang baboy ang mga quota. Ang service sector, mas maraming pa-abroad kesa sa napupunta sa call center. Paanong indutrialization iyan?
Malabo na maging newly-industialized ang status natin sa ngayon. Hindi kailanman magiging industrialist si Pandak.
Pwede pa sigurong “industy-alis”.
Cocoy,
Tamang bigyan ng leksiyon yang mga malalakas ang loob na makipag-jolens, iisang dakot lang naman ang dala. Marami yata dito saku-sako ang baon.
Tawag ng mga bata sa Pasay, palagong-baboy. Konting dalang puhunan, gustong makatiba’t makadyakpat?

Tingnan mo nalng sa wikipedia ang Newly Industrialized Country ng malaman mo sinasabi ko.

*Si Panfilo Lacson. O si Erap kaya, sa tagal niyang nanilbihan wala ni isang kaso maliban dito sa plunder na ang testigo ay ang Anghel na hindi marunong magsinungaling, si Chavit. Isama mo si dating Gov. Oca Orbos, si Cong. Ted Failon, si Cong. Padilla, atbp. Marami kung tutuusin. Yung meyor namin sa Pasay, dapat kasuhan ng unexplained poverty, pero ginawan ng paraan para yung may-ari ng sabungan ang maupo. Maraming politikong matino.
Bat mo nasabi yan nabigyan ka ba?

Hwag nyo nang pansinin ang isa dito na burot, TRADER yan!
Nag-te-trade ng maibabalita nya.
Wala na kasi maibalita kaya puro headline na lang ni “Jose Pidal sa Ospital” ang mga nababasa nya.
Imbes na mga pangangailangan ng mga Filipino Overseas ang industriyang isipin natin eh nagsasayang tayo ng panahon sa kakabasa ng mga kasinungalingang ipinakain ni GMA sa mga tulad ni fer-d-nando.
You can read Wikipedia at your own risk. It is also written in Wikipedia that “sabong” is the national sport in the Philippines. (you can browse “cockfight”).

Kiling is now becoming a part of Filipinos culture of acceptance, like corruption nasa dugo raw e, tanggapin na lang ba?. Corruption has no justification what ever it takes. Cry of Balintawak, why not? Remember courage is like cowardice is contagious.
Good news to all Corrupt, Crooks, Goons, etc. the World Health Organization has provided a special “blood bank” for you. The special blood was donated by non other than GMA, et all. Up to htis writing, the WHO is still finding on what kind of type this special blood be. Uuhhmm..!
itong si ferdnando, oo. isang uri ng tangang nagtatangatangahan at hindi makita ang mga kawalanghiyaan ng kasalukuyang pamahalaan.
totoy, nagtago ka pa sa ibang pangalan, labas naman ang iyong pagkakakilanlan. mabuti pa, umuwi ka na at mag-aral ng iyong leksiyon. inutusan ka lamang ng tatang mo para bumili ng pisong siyoktong, nanggugulo ka pa dito?
tumabi ka at baka ipasagasa kita dito sa aking alagang guyam.
tsupi!

Hayaan mo na yan.
Isa sa mga natutunan ko sa labas ng bansa(dyan sa pinaka dulo o tip ng Malay peninsula) ay itong BBQ session.
Sa pamamagitan ng salu-salong ito ay nagkakakilanlan ang bawat isa.
Sa salitang opisina dito sa Kamaynilaan, ang tawag dito ay bonding, team building, socialization o ang ibig sabihin sa mga brusko ay drinking session.
Pero nang tinanong ko ito sa kasama ko sa opisina na taga-Batangas, ang ibig sabihin pala ng inihaw ay BANGIHAN.
Sa probinsya ng mga Tatay’t Nanay ko, ang tawag ay INASAL.
Ang ibig sabihin pala ng ‘inasal’ sa Tagalog ay BINANGI.
mawalang galang na Ellen, mga kasama at mga regulars dito…
paalala lang sa mga magbe-bertdey ngayon panahon ng summer o tag-init. ingat lang sa mga pagkain.
Ayaw nyo nun may kumokontra sa inyo hindi yung kayo-kayo lang nagbobolahan, kaya tuloy hindi nyo na alam ang tama at mali.

alam mo, kung paano kang pumasok sa bahay ng may bahay ay ganu’n ka rin tatanggapin. kung paano ka biglang pumasok sa isang umpukan ay ganu’n ka rin tatratuhin. kung kami man dito sa palagay mo ay asal iskwater, dahil ikaw ay mas masahol pa sa iskwater.
pansinin mo na hindi lahat dito ay magkakaisa sa argumento, pero ang daloy ng paliwanagan ay hindi lihis na katulad ng sa iyo.
aber, kung ang lahat ng alam mo ay tama, sige nge, ano ‘yun?
may katulong ka? may kaya ka? baka naman kung bulyawan mo ang katulong mo kapag hindi mo gusto ang ginagawa ay may kasama pang tadyak at sipa?
From GMA News:
Rich-poor gap widened under Arroyo – Ibon
04/12/2007 | 05:54 PM
The gap between the country’s richest families and the poorest households has widened under the Arroyo administration, Ibon Foundation said in statement on Thursday.
“The richest 20 percent of the population account for 53 percent of the income pie while the bottom 20 percent get only 4.63 percent,” Ibon said.

“ka enchong:
kaya nga nagtataka yung kaibigan ko dahil sa kabila ng puro pangit na nababasa at naririnig nya tungkol sa pinas e bakit daw ang ganda ng ekonomiya.
stocks addict yon kaya namomonitor nya bawat economy ng bawat bansa.”
Fernando:
Pakitanong sa kaibigan mo kung paano niya sinusukat ang “ganda ng ekonomiya”. Kung nagkakapalan ang bulsa ng mga stock addicts habang patuloy na naghihikahos ang sambayanan. maganda pa kaya ang ekonomiya para sa kanya? We cannot look at the economic picture exclusively from the eyes of those who are “in the know”.
“Na yung mga patayan isisi lahat sa gobyerno na parang gobyerno lang ang may kayang magpapatay.”
dahil sa gobyerno ipinagkatiwala ang pangangalaga ng buhay- kriminal man o hindi. Pag kriminal ang pumatay, sisihin at usigin sila. Pag gobyerno ang pumatay, dapat doble ang sisi at usig.
“Ayaw nyo nun may kumokontra sa inyo hindi yung kayo-kayo lang nagbobolahan, kaya tuloy hindi nyo na alam ang tama at mali.”
hindi sa ayaw ko ng may kumokontra… ilagay lang sana sa ayos ang pagkontra. eto yung tira mo sa kabila:
54% in survey say they’re worse off than in 2004
DESPITE the Arroyo adminis-tration’s claims of an economic takeoff, the April 3-5 survey of Pulse Asia showed that 54 percent of Filipinos believe that their quality of life is worse off now than in 2004.
The figure is higher than the 49 percent in January 2007. Only 11 percent said their quality of life is better now while 35 percent said it stayed the same.

Nagyabang ka pa, wikipedia naman ang source mo. Kahit sinong bopol pwedeng maglagay ng data doon na hindi totoo. Pwede mo ngang ipalista diyan na si Gloria ang pinakamahusay na pangulo sa buong mundo!
Tapos uutusan mo akong magbasa. Pagagalitan ako ng teacher kong si Prof. Bernie Villegas niyan! Ahihihi!
Eto’ng basahin mo.

According to Hutchinson (2007):
“Newly-industrialized country –
Country formerly classified as less developed, but which is becoming rapidly industrialized. The first wave of countries to be identified as newly industrializing included Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. These countries underwent rapid industrial growth in the 1970s and 1980s, attracting significant financial investment, and are now associated with high-technology industries. More recently, Thailand, China, and Malaysia have been classified as newly industrializing countries.”

According to Asian Development Bank:
“Newly Industrialized Economies:
The trade-oriented economies of Hong Kong, China; Republic of Korea; Singapore; and Taipei,China—the NIEs (Newly-Industrialized Economies)— are suffering disproportionately from the current weakness in the world economy just as they were the big gainers from the 1999-2000 ICT boom.”

ADB Again:
The DMCs (Developing Member Countries) are classified in the three groups are listed below:
Group A: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, People’s Republic of China, Cook Islands, India, Kiribati, Kyrgyz Republic, Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Maldives, Republic of Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Viet Nam, and Western Samoa.
Group B: Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Republic of Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, and Thailand.
Group C: Fiji, Hong Kong, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taipei, China
…Access to ADF (assistance development fund) resources will be available to all Group A countries (except People’s Republic of China and India) and to three Group B countries, namely, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Philippines.”
Note: China and India have always been considered “peculiar” (they belong to Group A) economies because of their population size. Even if they equal the economy of the US, technically, they cannot be considered “developed” automatically.

Sabi nga ni Tilamsik: “You can read wikipedia at your own risk.”
Nandoon sa wikipedia link mo ang references na dapat mong basahin. Kung wala kang pambili ay makibasa ka sa Powerbooks sa mga malls o kaya mag-library ka.
Ang dami kong rason na ibinigay sa iyo. Kung wikipedia lang ang iko-quote mo, hindi na kita pag-aaksayahan ng panahon.

Yung “unexplained political dynasty”, yung pagfile ng isa pang Dy para lumaban kuno kay Connie Dy, lumalabas na pakulo rin ni Connie. Pang-drama lang. Pagkatapos ng isang araw, umatras na e, samantalang yung dalawang Trinidad na kalaban ni Peewee, tuloy pa rin.
Pinilit lang ng mga barangay chairman na kabig nung sabungera para manggulo. Palibhasa bata itong babae nung bagong opera ang puso sa St. Luke’s, kung umasta, akala mo mananalo siya. Paano ngayon, walang mag-uutos sa Comelec na yariin ang resulta dahil nasa ospital pa ang amo?

All the more reason now to pray more that it be God’s Will to lessen now the burden of the Filipino people by allowing death to take this guy to where he deserves to be—definitely not heaven, I am sure, for no babaero and/or lalakero can pass through that celestial gate!!!
Kahit siguro magmakaawa iyong santang sinasabi nilang kamag-anak nila. O baka naman iyong santa nire-request na ang nasa itaas na itulak na lang sa impiyerno na diretso ang ungas sa pagtatangkang dungisan pa ang pangalan niya na sabihin dugo niya nanalaytay sa ugat nila! Yuck!
