Makati Regional Trial Court Judge Oscar Pimentel granted the request of detained Ltsg Antonio Trillanes IV, senatorial candidate of the Genuine Opposition, to allow media to have access to him in his detention cell.
The permission has set conditions like request should be made three days prior to the interview and questions should be submitted.
That’s not exactly okay but we have to count our blessings as of now. The fight for genuine freedom goes on.
Here’s Malaya’s full report by Ashzel Hachero:
THE Makati regional trial court yesterday allowed detained mutiny leader Antonio Trillanes IV, a senatorial candidate of the Genuine Opposition, to be interviewed by media.
Judge Oscar Pimentel of RTC Branch 148 imposed several conditions.
“To make sure that unnecessary statements will not be given, the reporters, journalists and other media people are advised and directed to submit to this Court their proposed questions and issues. Likewise, they are mandated to file their manifestation on when they intend to interview accused Antonio Trillanes IV and the time of such interview,” Pimentel said in a three-page decision.
Pimentel also required media men to file their manifestation three days before the planned interview. He said this is a matter of “courtesy” to Marine officers in Fort Bonifacio where Trillanes is detained. Media men should also get clearance from Trillanes’ custodians.
Pimentel on March 5 denied Trillanes’ petition to be allowed media interviews because Trillanes might give statements related to the coup d’état case he is facing.
This amounts to “prior restraint” and censorship which is frowned upon by the country’s Constitution, Trillanes said in a motion for reconsideration. He also told the court he would not give any statement on the case.
Trillanes’ lawyer, Reynaldo Robles, said his client welcomed Pimentel’s decision despite the restrictions.
He said it would enable Trillanes to air his platform of governance.
“He is very happy with the court’s decision though we lost so much time. Hopefully it will give him a chance to reach out and present his views and his plans as well as it would equalize the playing field since, compared to the other senatorial candidates, he has limited resources,” Robles said.
Robles said they are optimistic Trillanes will win. A recent survey of Social Weather Stations showed Trillanes in the 19th position from an earlier ranking of 23rd and 24th.
Trillanes, a former Navy officer, is facing coup charges along with 30 other junior officers for launching a mutiny in July 2003.
The officers are also facing charges before a military court.
pinayagan nga, pero may harang pa rin. ano ba kaya ang ikinatatakot ng (per) huwes (yong) ito?
si sonny trillanes ba ay itinuturing nilang isang malaking tinik sa lalamunan at gayun na lamang ang pagharang nila sa pakikiharap niya sa mga mamamahayag at pati ang mga panayam ay dapat pa nilang suriin gayung ilalathala sa mga pahayagan? sa kasalukuyang kalagayan ng magiting na ginoo, gayundin ang kanyang adhikaing maluklok sa senado, iniisip pa ba ng mga amo ng huwes na ito na siya (trillanes) ay gagawa pa ng hakbang na makasisira sa kanyang kandidatura na siyang tanging legal na paraan upang maisulong niya ang pagbabagong minimithi para sa bansa?
para na silang mga hilong dagang hindi malaman kung saan susuling!
Good, now I can tell my friends in the Japanese media to interview Trillanes.
am sure, nangunguna si ellen sa pakikipanayam kay sonny!
GO! GO! GO! GO!
“The fight for genuine freedom goes on.”
.
What exactly is “genuine freedom”?
Is it the freedom to elect morons to office, encourage them to dance the ocho-ocho during campaigns, rally in the streets all year round, and exchange gossip on large-circulation broadsheets?
For that matter is democracy really about “freedom”?
http://www.geocities.com/benign0/4-00_Leaders/freedom.html
.
one step to victory and truth!
wish sonny all the best and may he win his cause for the benefit of the suffering public under the hands of the predators who have nothing in their minds but to squeeze out the courage of the gallant men who dared to fight their criminal and evil deeds!
Freedom, sadly, is the capacity to elect A MORON (PuroHanginDaw), A SELF-DECLARED LIAR, CHEAT, THIEF and strongly suspected SCHIZOPHRENIC like Gloria Macapa(ga)l to office.
Bumanat ka naman Mang Benigno Martinez, the ultimate kontrabida on whatever is good about the Philippines and in this particular case, to diminish a little convenience for Trillanes to be heard being a human being, a Filipino and someone who is seeking an elective position.
Why don’t you make an appeal to stop the granted media access to Trillanes? You are again diverting the issue.
sleeplessinmontreal:
hindi mo masisisi si Benign0, nagsasabi lang naman sya ng katotohanan.
The fact that our elections are, for the most part, a mockery of the concept of democracy, ironically, is therefore no laughing matter.
sabi ni Benign0
ang problema sa Pilipinas ay ang mga mapagsamantala. Imbes na turuan na maiangat ang kamalayan ng bawat Pilipino na kilatisin ang mga iuupo sa pwesto para maglingkod? Ang ginagawa pa eh “entertainment”!
Isang halimbawa ay itong kay Pacquiao? Bakit hahayaan ng media na magpagamit sila sa kandidatura niya sa Cotabato?
Dapat ay bigyan ng tamang gabay ang botante ng nasasakupan nito na mapabuti ang kalagayan ng South Cotabato at hindi ang alam naman natin na hahakutin na interes ng isang boksingero.
kung hindi ito pambababoy sa demokrasya, ano ang tawag dito?
napatunayan na ang demorasya na inilalatag ng nakararaming Pilipino ay nagmumula sa mga umaayon sa katauhan ni Erap at FPJ ay hindi nagtatagumpay dito sa Pinas!
bagkus ito’y binabastos pa at maglalagay ng personalidad na tatalima sa kagustuhan ng mga elitista!
Ganito ba ang demokrasya?Ang tatalima sa kagustuhan ng mga elitista at mayayaman?
“the ultimate kontrabida on whatever is good about the Philippines and in this particular case, to diminish a little convenience for Trillanes to be heard being a human being, a Filipino and someone who is seeking an elective position”
.
Hmmmm. A whole paragraph composed of nothing but assumptions. What a waste of bandwidth, to say nothing of the fact that the very point I made was not even addressed.
Tsk tsk.

“Isang halimbawa ay itong kay Pacquiao? Bakit hahayaan ng media na magpagamit sila sa kandidatura niya sa Cotabato?”

For that matter, all who participate in the propagation of partisan gossip and hollow personality-based political discussion, not to mention low-brow appeal to populist sentiments such as worship of perceived victims of imagined “conspiracies” are themselves being used by one politician or the other.
Before we even think how some bozos are “entitled” to some privileges such as “access to the media”, let us first remember that these people are being prosecuted for rebellion — a very serious offense against the state. The fact of these peoples’ candidacy makes the story even more bizarre and ridiculous, in fact.
Pinoys are apparently too shallow to see the irony in a one-time mutineer who now “participates” in a process administered by the very State whose laws he took it upon himself to personally interpret.
And to think we are entrusting the selection of our future leaders on this comprehension-challenged lot.

they are letting pak-pak do his illegal actions due to the unprecedented donations he is giving his utu-uto followers. nothing more…who in his right mind will ever vote for this character. he maybe a good boxer but he is definitely not the people’s champ when rationality comes in.
great to see the 2 ads of Trillanes in abs-cbn during the TV patrol news this evening…i wish to see the others showing the mcapagal and joke-joke scam.
Great news even with parameters!
I agree w/ you, Chi.
Despite the conditions set forth, media access for Trillanes is a good thing. It will help his campaign.
Ms. Ellen,
You say that “The permission has set conditions like request should be made three days prior to the interview and questions should be submitted…That’s not exactly okay but we have to count our blessings as of now. The fight for genuine freedom goes on.”
Nothing good comes easy.
Nelbar, agree ako 100% sa sinabi mo sa itaas.
Si Erap lang yata ang hindi creation ng elitistas at mayayaman kaya ginawan nila ng paraan na mailagay ang kanilang PhD henya daw. They subverted the will of the majority, ayan ang napala ng Pinas!
Pero nakaraan na ito and hope that this taught the elites and rich (sana nga) the lessons of respecting the will of the majority. In case of Glueria, masasabi ko na mas matalinong pumili ng lider ang masa kesa sa kanila (considered na ang lahat ng faults ni Estrada!).
Kaya todo suporta ako kay Trillanes (kahit sa maliliit na paraan) dahil bilib ako na ang kanyang prinsipyo ay para sa kagalingan ng majority ng mamamayan.
Chabs, where are you hiding lately, campaigning vigorously for someone? :-).
At least we will have a good chance to read what Trillanes wanted to say for a long time.
Ellen, is there no condition for taking photos? Baka pati dito ay takot sila!
Chi, I don’t think there conditions for photos.
MR, I already did my interview with Trillanes at the sidelines of court hearings. Pinapayagan naman ang media lumapit sa kanya during court hearings. Matiyaga ako mag-attend ng court hearings.
Click here for the article that appeared last April 9.
But I will interview him last week first week of May.
Thanks, Ellen. Salamat naman at makakakuha ng latest picture niya ang media.
BenignO:
Trillanes had the tenacity and the bravery to stand up and fight his own belief, you don’t like him, the incumbent doesn’t like him and even Joker Arroyo called him,”The poster boy of rebellion” but, does not bar him from running.
If you are asking what is a genuine freedom? For now, I don’t ever see the existence genuine freedom of the present administration of Gloria, for she, ruled with omnipotent power over our people, that is she never follow the enacts laws of our legislature, our judicial branches are incompetent, they abide by her wishes, whatever she says, it goes, she rules by decree, she has the power to jail anyone she wants for any reason whatsoever, to torture people, to punish critics, to shut down press and public assembles, even the most consumption necessities of the people she taxed with E-Vat or any Vat. Now, could our people in our society be free? That’s the curtailment of genuine freedom, if you want to know. And, if the Pilipino people feel that she has abused her power, they are free to oust her from office this coming May election by voting majority numbers of opposition.—That’s the genuine freedom–Freedom to choose and freedom to voice one’s opinion.—–
Soleil:
I don’t remember Elorde, who won several boxing bouts too before he retired and did better things for his fellow boxers unlike Pacman who is getting notoriety as a gambler like his bosses, the Pidals, being paraded around town every time he would win a title match. Katarantaduhan na iyan.
Dito sa Japan, it is a tradition to have a motorcade around the Sumo Stadium only when the Sumo match is over and a champion emerges. Pero iyong pumupunta pa sa PM’s residence, wala iyan. Iyong mga boxers naman na hapon, siguro bibigyan lang ng medalya but people here would not stop their work just to give honor to these boxers no matter how good they are kasi kahit naman wala sila sikat na ang Japan. Ang Pilipinas kasi para lang sa pabango lalo na ngayong ang baho-baho ng image na binaboy ng mga baboy sa Malacanang!!! Yuck!
I have faith in the people of Cotabato. Kapag nanalo si Pacman diyan, dapat mag-aklas sila ala-EDSA!
There is no “genuine freedom” because freedom itself is relative.
Chi,
Genuine freedom comes with rights, duties and responsibilities! Naintindihan ko iyan na mas malinaw when I started practicing and enjoying my right to vote in Japan. It is not a privilege but a right that as much as possible I try not to waste.
Dito boycotting an election is good when the candidates cannot present good platforms lalo na kung nakakaramdam ng hirap ang mga tao. Dito kasi hindi nagpapatapak sa mga politiko at public servants ang mga taumbayan! Sa Pilipinas, iyong namalimos ng boto, pagkatapos ng eleksyon siya na ang amo!!! Ang masama, kundi pa nagnakaw ng boto, hindi mauupo, tapos ang galing manakot ng mga tao!
Yuko,
Sabi ng mga redneck dito, we have too much freedom daw pero hindi genuine. Hahahah!
ystakei,
tagahanga rin naman ako ni pacman pero sa boxing lang, kumukulo ang dugo ko sa katangahan niya, nagpagamit siya kay gloria, lalo siyang magiging tanga kung mapapaupo siya sa congress. Kung taga gen san ako, puedi akong makipagsiksikan sa pagsalubong sa kaniya kung galing siya sa panalo sa boxing pero sayang ang tinta pag ibinoto ko pa siya, marami ng tanga sa congress, madadagdag pa siya.
“tagahanga rin naman ako ni pacman pero sa boxing lang, kumukulo ang dugo ko sa katangahan niya, nagpagamit siya kay gloria, lalo siyang magiging tanga kung mapapaupo siya sa congress”
.
Our choice of “heroes” merely reflects the quality of our society.
While we once propped up brilliant statesmen and called them our “national heroes”, today we are a people reduced to venerating middle-weight champion boxers with idiotic political aspirations.
Sad indeed.
.
– 😀
Nakakapangilabot if I compared Trillanes based on the open letter of Dr. Nemenzo, and …yaw, the hero of Pidal. ‘ Wag na lang!
Ellen,
You should write something about the bogus partylists. I am told that one of the groups banned by Akbayan, the Babae Ka reacted to the comments of Cyber Istambay. Lots of things to learn from this guy’s expose. Visit the same Pedestrian Observer site that exposed the Pidal philanderings, etc. kaya siguro inatake si Fatso.
Kudos to Cyber Istambay if indeed it was his expose that caused the Fatso’s stroke! Sana damihan pa niya. 😛
Chi:
Ganda ng tawag mo sa boksingerong ulol na, … Bagay na bagay!
Ang galing natin mag-preach about being “good Christians” and yet here we are wishing ill on others.

Dito sa bansa na tinatawag na Republika ng Pilipinas, ang mga bayani ay ginagamit sa MARKETING GIMMICK!
tingnan mo na lang ang ginagawa sa mga OFW na tinatawag na BAGONG BAYANI daw?
Si Colonel Honasan na bayani noong 80’s hanggang 1995, hindi ba’t laman sya ng mga FRONT PAGE ng mga pahayagan o dailies noon?
Dahil ba sa hindi na sya bumebenta sa sirkulasyon ng mga dyaryo ay hindi na dapat pansinin? at dahil matanda na?
Kung si Tito Sotto nga noon na kinagat ng masa ay binabasura na ngayon? eh sino pa ang dapat?
Kung ang Chinese noong 1966 ay nagawa ang Cultural Revolution at ang mga Kastila ay nagawang takutin ang mga natives sa Isla ng Pilipinas sa pamamagitan ng relihiyon?
Kaya din natin na maglunsad ng mga ICONOCLAST!
Isipin nyo na lang ang attitude ng mga maraming naulol sa paintings ni Basquiat!
BenignO;
Only the midget almighty president who called the Pacman her National Hero.What hero? Pacman fight for his own living and that is his job.What good he did to our country,meddling in politics,which he could not even understand a contracts he signed.
Chi,
Hindi nga e. Haven’t been campaigning really. Been doing some analysis lang..I think the Oppo can win the Senate. It’s the House of Rep na ify. But, since someone has been incapcitated, funds have slowed down. Tremendously. Good for Oppo !
Cocoy….i agree ….kung yung contratang pinipirmahan ni Pacman hindi niya naiintindihan, yung pa kayang gumawa nang batas…? sa interview tanong sa kanya kung ano ang mga nakahanda niyang batas…ang hinayupak andiyan daw ang mga atty. niya para payuhan siya…at kailangan daw nasa puso ang pagseserbisyo…ulol ! ibinato ko tuloy ang remote nang TV ko..nasira tuloy….
Madali naman malaman kung sino talagang politico ang gustong magserbisyo nang tapat…TANGGALIN ANG PORK BARREL, tignan ko kung tumakbo pa ang mga hinayupak na yan….
Sa iyo Trillanes..mabuhay ka ! makakaasa ka sa suporta ko at nang kamg-anak ko.
Pakiusap ko lang sana sa iyo kapag nanalo ka…Unahin mo sanang linisin ang mga Sundalo at kapulisan, Dahil kung iyan ay malilinis walang masama, corrupt na mamumuno nang ating bansa…walang Assperon,palparan at iba pang makapal ang mukhan ,at magnanakaw na mamumuno sa inyo…
Chabs,
That someone is now disabled, I have a thought that it happened as an “intentional cut” from a great force somewhere, an intervention that is surely a sign of “slowing” them down.
I’m sad nga e. Kasi in Bataan 2nd district, mongoloid Norberto Gonsalez (saan ba ang s nito?!) was not alllowed kuno by the EK queen to run. Ayun, ang anak naman ang isinalpak! Lungkot talaga because all the candidates running against each others belong to the Tianak! The only spark of good news is that many of these local candidates support the GO senatoriables.
Bob:
Sabi ni Pakyaw sa kaniyang interview, kung hindi daw siya tatakbo, mauubos ang kinita niya sa boxing kasi maraming hingi ng hingi ng limos sa kaniya. Sa Congress daw makakagawa siya ng pera—pork barrel, hindi ba niya alam na nakaw na ngayon iyan? Gago din ano?
In short, inamin na magnanakaw siya! Susmaryopes! Ang gunggong naman!
Come to think of it, with the police now under the military, it is more like the Gestapo or Kempeitai in Germany and Japan before and during WWII. Bakit ginawa ng mga politiko iyan na pinayagang ang military na magpalakad ng pulisya? Gago din ano?
Restrictions to Trillanes’ media access decried
04/19/2007
While lauding the decision of the Makati Regional Trial Court (RTC) to grant the request of Magdalo leader and Genuine Opposition (GO) senatorial bet Navy Lt/SG Antonio Trillanes IV to be allowed to speak to members of the media in relation to his candidacy, the GO expressed disappointment over the imposition of restrictions.
…..
“The damage has been done already to his candidacy. We have to work overtime to get his message out and his message is very simple, its anti-corruption and military reform. We are still happy that justice has been served and his constitutional right has been granted,” he said.
http://www.tribune.net.ph/nation/20070419nat4.html
Under the leadership of a criminal, Filipinos should know by now that she has no consistency, she being a pathological liar, and what she says today is different from what she said yesterday and what she will say tomorrow. The woman is liar period. So, if they say that she has permitted Trillanes to be interviewed via her spokesperson in the Comelec, court, etc., Filipinos should better take it with a grain of a salt so they won’t get shocked and suffer a trauma if she starts changing her mind. Point is why do Filipinos still allow this creep to stay?
Tribune headlines: ‘Bribes’ for GMA bets’ win await local execs
Ermita: No money involved, just ‘projects’
*****
Nothing new. This is already a well-known fact. I actually wrote about the projects being peddled by the Fatso, who is said to be bedridden, for a big fee for him and the person who buys such deal.
The Fatso on the other hand may either be feigning sickness or it must be for real.
There is reason to suspect for the Fatso to feign sickness. They have done it before, and the hospital has proved to be a convenient and safest place to cook up something because the doctors there can say “No!” strongly to the media especially when they claim that the Fatso or the Unano is seriously ill.
Kung totoo namang may sakit talaga, good! Matuluyan na sana, especially kung nagkukunyari lang! For us, who pray for such, I guess, the spiritual accountability is lessen!!!
BTW, the US peace corps member’s body has been found. She was murdered, but who killed her? You guess is as good as mine. Now, wait for the fingerpointing. Kahit hindi totoo magtuturo ang mga ungas na may kasalanan. But come to think of it. Pag iyong kana, ang bilis makita. Iyong dalawang UP students na kinidnap ng mga military, kasi walang pabuya kundi apela ng mga magulang nila, no dice! Hindi na makikita! Is that justice and police efficiency? Pwe!
Dapat si Trillanes and those who sacrificed themselves and their careers for a good cause ang i-declare na bayani! Hindi ang isang champion sa boxing. Si Pacman ay katulad ng mga Phil. beauties natin na nanalo sa international competitions at sila ay binigyan ng kaukulang parangal dahil sa kanilang achievements. I’m still wondering kung bakit bigla na lang naging bayani si Pacman na maging yung PEKENG presidente ay ginawa pa siyang “idol” kuno. Pwehhh!!! Kung hindi pa obvious na nakiki-ride-on lang siya sa popularity nitong boxer. Tingnan natin pag natalo ‘yan, biglang unknown ang labas ng bayani niya! At ang magaling na boxer nagpapagamit naman! Ang prayer ko? Sana maging matatag sa kanilang paninindigan ang mga voters ng So. Cotabato! Ang ring ay iba sa Kongreso! Pero, mas concern ako kay Trillanes! Kaya , hala todo kampania pa ako online sa mga kakilala ko diyan sa Pinas!
Ystakei, oo nga ! kaya dapat talaga magsama sila nang GMA channel 7 halatang halata ang pagka bias , ”Walang kinikilingan, serbisyong tutuo ….PWEH !
RE: Tribune headlines: ‘Bribes’ for GMA bets’ win await local execs
Ermita: No money involved, just ‘projects’
General Eduardo Ermita is encouraging fraud LGU projects. One of the biggest sources of corruption in the country is government projects. It starts from fraudulent public biddings to ghost deliveries. It’s an indirect bribery and repeat of P728 M fertilizer scam. The Arroyo government cannot explain how the P420 M Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) funds for the 42,000 barangays nationwide vanished without a trace. Each barangay should be given P10,000.00 to fight SARS disease. It’s a part of P1.5 billion SARS fund released before May 2004 elections. The main issue in May 2007 elections is the corrupt Arroyo regime.
Diego,
Tumpak…Nadali mo ..CORRUPTION ang issue wala nang iba.
Yup, corruption ng pamilyang Pidal at minions ang isyu, kaya sila nanginginig sa takot at galit kay Trillanes dahil kahit nakakulong ay matapang niyang tinumbok sa kanyang TV ads at mensahe ang isyung ito.
Bob:
Matagal nang issue iyan corruption, hindi na nalutas! Degree lang ang naiba. Pinakagarapal ito kasi alam na alam ng lahat na kurakot, may mga ebidensiya pa ha, pero ang tindi, ang kapal ng mukha!
Dito iyan, pagkabisto halimbawa ng “Hello Garci” magbibigti na o tatalon na sa mataas na building. Di wala na ang ungas sana! Golly, siya na ang puno’t dulo ng corruption, nagtuturo pa ng iba! Ang tapang talaga ng apog!
Kahit saan naman ay may korapsyon na nangyayari, contained nga lang ang iba. Pero sa panahon ni Tianak ay sumabog at more than extreme ang korapsyon na sentro sa mga Pidal, at sabi mo nga Yuko ay nang-korap pa ng iba para gamitin na manatili sa pwesto. O di ba kademonyuhan ‘yan?! Ang demonya/o ay taga-korap, ganyan si Tianak at Fartso!
Did you see Trillanes TV ad? Maganda. It starts with Bishop Julio Labayen talking about the need for people willing to make sacrifice. Shows Sonny. It also includes endorsement of Jamby Madrigal, who sponsored the ad.It has been airing for two days on TV Patrol and the telenovela. Konti lang kasi they don’t have much money.
Tonight, Thurs, TV patrol and Maging Sino ka man.
Friday, Maging Sino Ka man and Walang Kapalit
Saturday, Pinoy Big Brother and XXX.
Please inform friends
This is a welcome move for Trillanes. A window, no matter how small, will always brighten up a room!
Anyone can call Trillanes anything as they please but since he always took a strong stand against corruption and is selfless to serve the Filipinos, kudos to him!
Politics is like a box of chocolates (Forrest Gump’s) you never know what you are going to get. For me, I know what Trillanes stands for and I know that he has nuts and I love nuts in chocolates so I will pick him in an instant!
Trillanes was finally interviewed by TV today. I just saw TV patrol.Interview by Korina Sanchez. It was good. In fighting form against corruption. He didn’t regret what he did although he paid a high price for that. Aside from his freedom, he lost a child while in detention.
He said Gloria Arroyo will cheat again this election in the same way that she cheated in 2004. Full interview will be shown tomorrow on Korina Today, ANC at 1 pm.
BOB Says: “…dapat talaga magsama sila nang GMA channel 7 halatang halata ang pagka bias , ”Walang kinikilingan, serbisyong tutuo ….PWEH !”
bob,
plema ‘yun, ah! tapal sa mukha nina kabayag noli at tuta tito.
he he he heh!
sir, tukoy na tukoy mo.
Bob: sa interview tanong sa kanya kung ano ang mga nakahanda niyang batas…ang hinayupak andiyan daw ang mga atty. niya para payuhan siya
＊＊＊＊＊
Sinong Atty niya, si Macalintal o si Apostol? Yuck! Ass lickers ng mga Pidal who should actually be disbarred. E kung hindi pala niya kaya, bakit hindi na lang niya patakbuhin ang abogado niya para patas doon sa abogadang kalaban niya. Pati mga lawyers gusto pa niyang patukan. Gago din ano?
Kung ang sabi ni Pacquiao ay may attorney naman siya, bakit hindi na lang ang attorney niya ang magkandidato? On second thought, baka si Mike Arroyo ang kanyang attorney delete my suggestion. Ituloy nalang niya ang candidacy niya just don’t vote for him please folks from GenSan.
parasabayan…Forrest Gump is my all-time favorite movie…and its only understood by people who have heart and wisdom…Trillanes – Para sa Bayan!!!
i may not have pure heart and great wisdom..but i am not a TUTA!
Just finished watching the one-on-one interview of Korina Sanchez with Sonny Trillanes.
His answers to the questions (maybe even though thoroughly screened by his captors) were straight to the point – he did not mince words exposing the plan and intention of the administration to cheat in this coming May 14th elections.
I wish him good luck.
Trillanes predicts cheting in the elections. This is also everyone’s prediction. But tiyanak and her two hemorrhoids may not be able to pull the same thing they did in the 2004 elections. Now, more citizens are aware of their dirty tricks, the youth are getting more involved in the elections, the Fatso is incapacitated (he is the known #1 election rigger) and the international community will be fielding in watchers all over. Let us see if the tiyanak can buy a lot of votes this time.
I watched the so-called pyramid vote buying which is a new tactic. There are recruiters for voters. The voters are pre-paid to vote for selected candidates. The trick is, these paid voters were seen signing some papers. Who knows if these were the prepared ballots. Remember the over printed ballots? When will our citizens ever learn? How can we change our culture of corruption when citizens are selling their votes? How pathetic! I just pray that these are just isolated cases and that the bottom line is-the majority of the voters will follow their gut in voting this time.
Ang mga grupo ng Kababaihan sa Barangay level at SK ay imo-mobilize para sa makinarya ng mga TRAPO!
Kasama na ang mga Senior Citizens.
Pati mga barangay tanod ay may gagampanan sa darating na eleksyon.
Kung ang mga religious groups ay nadidiktahan ang kani-kanilang mga tagasunod, yung mga empleyado pa kaya ng Munisipyo o City Hall?
Kadalasan ang mga SUMMER LEAGUE o paliga ng Basketball/Volleyball sa mga Barangay ay ginagamit na pang-endorso ng lokal na politiko.
Hwag na nating banggitin pa dito ang mga waiting shed at mga proyektong pagpapalinis ng DRAINAGE o IMBURNAL sa tuwing na nalalapit ang eleksyon.
Sa kapaskulang lang merong mga goodies.
Tanong: Saan galing ang mga ginagastos dito?
Sino ang totoong beneficiary ng mga nabanggit sa itaas?
Noodles, mga delatang sardinas, at 2-3 kilong bigas lang ba ang katapat ng kinabukasan ni Juan dela Cruz?
Sa kapaskuhan lang merong mga noodles.
Last replay of Trillanes interview by Korina Sanchez:
Sunday (April 22) 5 p.m. ANC
As a navy officer Trillanes rose to the rank of Lieutenant Senior Grade (the equivalent of Captain in the army). He fought the Abu Sayyaf in Mindanao and commanded a team that rescued the survivors of M/S Princess of the Orient.
I don’t think so. Trillanes was never involved in any operations against the ASGs. I should know, I’ve been fighting this group since 2000 up to the present.
