Making life worth living.
Gen. Hermogenes Esperon should just keep his mouth shut. Soldiers have no role in the elections, except to vote. They cannot campaign for any candidate. And that means they cannot campaign against any candidate either.
So it is verboten for Esperon to urge “peace loving” citizens to think twice about voting for Antonio Trillanes IVbecause the latter is being endorsed by the Left. And the same prohibition on Esperon applies not only to dissuading candidates from voting for Trillanes. As a soldier he cannot ask people to vote or not to vote for any candidate, whether supported by the Left, the Center or the Right. That’s what being non-partisan means.
On Monday, I will vote all the 11 senatorial candidates of the Genuine Opposition and Martin Bautista of Kapatiran to complete my slate.
I will put Antonio Trillanes IV in number one. I’d like him to win. His courage to bring the truth to the public about Gloria Arroyo and the dignity with which he bore the punishment of an unjust administration showed strength of character. He is needed in the Senate.
A vote for Trillanes is a slap in the face of Gloria Arroyo. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there would be 15 million of us who would be doing that?
If you write “Cayetano” only in the ballot box on Monday, it will not be counted because yesterday the Comelec decided that Joselito Cayetano, the…
Gringo Honasan, who is allegedly the brains of Oakwood mutiny, aplogized to Gloria Arroyo. He was allowed to post bail.
Nur Misuari, whose rebellion caused the death of several people, was also granted bail to be able to campaign. He is running for Sulu governor. He supports Gloria Arroyo.
Antonio Trillanes IV, GO senatorial candidate, was refused bail. He has been in detention for the past four years for the so-called Oakwood mutiny. No one died nor was hurt in that incident on July 27, 2003.
Where’s justice?

Three weeks after he was granted media access, Genuine Opposition senatorial candidate Antonio Trillanes IV gained 10 percentage points and moved up from number 24 to number 15 and 16 in the latest SWS/Inquirer survey.
SWS said:
Antonio Trillanes IV, who gained 10 percentage points (from 14 percent to 24 percent), moved from 21st place to 15th-16th.
Trillanes’ case shows that “it is not impossible to make up a large deficit within a short period of time.”
The latest (May 2 to 4 SWS survey):
The Burgos family yesterday tagged elements of the Army 56th Infantry Battalion based in Bulacan as suspects in the disappearance of Jonas Joseph Burgos who was abducted by armed men in a restaurant at the Ever Gotesco mall in Quezon City on April 28.
“All indications point to the 56th IB as the culprit,” said JL Burgos, a younger brother of the missing peasant advocate.
The 56th IB is under Col. Noel Clement.
