On June 26, 2006, at two in the morning a little more than a year ago, Sherlyn Cadapan and Karen Empeño were abducted from a farmer’s home in San Miguel, Hagonoy, Bulacan. Armed men bundled the women into a stainless steel jeep with plate number RTF 597. A farmer named Manuel Merino, who had run out in response to the women’s cries, was also bound and blindfolded. The three were driven away towards the direction of Iba, Hagonoy, Bulacan.
When the abduction was reported, human rights volunteers, led by Mildred Benitez, went to the 56th Infantry Battalion headquarters at Iba. A stainless steel jeep with plate number RTF was found parked inside the compound.
The military denies its existence.
Two days after the abduction, on June 28, farmer Alberto Martinez was roused from sleep by Manuel Merino, accompanied by men in bonnets. He was boarded on a stainless steel jeep with plate number RTF 597, and was brought inside a military detachment located in Mercado, Hagonoy, Bulacan.
Inside the detachment, he was interrogated by a man who introduced himself as Arnel Enriquez, who asked him if he knew persons known as Tanya, Vincent and Lisa. Arnel Enriquez described those persons. The descriptions fitted those of the missing women.
One witness, Oscar Leuterio, recounted that he was also abducted by armed men who brought him to two camps where he was detained and tortured for five months. During his detention, he noticed two women fitting the description of those abducted. He later heard of a man tortured and brought to his detention area. The man was Em-Em—his friend, Manuel Merino.
The military statement, in a letter to the editor of this paper, complains that Leuterio’s testimony was “despicably inaccurate and farcical.”
The disappearances of Karen and Sherlyn made it to both local and national newspapers, especially since both were students from the University of the Philippines. Newspapers in Bulacan carried the story. In spite of this, the story seems different from the perspective of the military. Three of the military respondents made it to the witness stand.
Lt. Francis Mirabelle Samson, section leader of the Mercado detachment, claimed she had heard nothing about the disappearances.
Lt. Col. Rogelio Boac, her immediate superior, claimed he had received no word from his men about any sort of abduction or alleged arrest in Hagonoy, Bulacan. He had heard about it from a reporter.
Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan (now retired) conceded that he was aware of the abductions. He ordered that Lieutenant Colonel Boac conduct an investigation on Karen and Sherlyn’s disappearances.
Boac stressed that he did not receive any order from Major General Palparan or any higher authority to investigate the disappearance of Sherlyn, Karen, or Manuel, or even that of Ka Lisa or Ka Tanya.
Palparan said that because of that order for investigation to Boac, he received a report that “there was indeed an incident who, according to them, one Ka Tanya and Ka Lisa and another person have been abducted from that area.”
Boac said that he had made inquiries, on his own initiative, and nothing came out of them.
Palparan confirmed an admission he had already made in a local talk show. The interview had him admitting that two women, Tanya and Lisa, allegedly revolutionary tax collectors, were in military custody after their arrest in Hagonoy.
He had heard, however, that the women were “not students anymore.”
And Lt. Francis Mirabelle Samson, with the panache of an amateur actor in a high school production, swore under oath that she knew nothing, saw nothing, heard nothing, and was simply “operating on instinct.”
According to the court’s findings, “From all indications, Karen Empeño and Sherlyn Cadapan appear to be Ka Tanya and Ka Lisa. Karen Empeño and Sherlyn Cadapan were the only women abducted in that part of Bulacan on that day, June 26, 2006.”
The military denied having any hand in their abduction and disappearance.
Just recently, Sherlyn Cadapan, who was two months pregnant when she was abducted, was reported to have made an appearance in her mother-in-law’s Bulacan home. Three women and two men accompanied her. The women stayed by her side at all times while she gathered pieces of clothing. She said nothing. She did not say a word to her in-law. She was pale and afraid.
The next day, the same two men from the night before appeared at the house with two uniformed military men, and asked the mother about a reported incident the day before. They claimed she had been visited by members of the New People’s Army. The mother denied it, but the men insisted, and asked her to “help them.” She was warned that they would return.
Members of the NPA gather support from the grass roots. Their members are volunteers who have become dissatisfied with the current social structure. They are not, for example, dragged into stainless steel jeeps while screaming for help. Neither are they forced to go on supervised visits with relatives. Irrelevant of the illegality of their carrying arms against the government, they do it of their own free will.
As of two months ago, Sherlyn Cadapan was alive. It is both cause for celebration and fear. There are some things, after all, that are infinitely less preferable to death, as the numerous testimonies of torture at the hands of the military prove.
The CA Special Former 11th Division dismissed a petition for habeas corpus, filed by the family of students Sherlyn Cadapan and Karen Empeño and farmer Manuel Merino, on the ground that it was not the proper remedy in the case. It ruled that “the main function of the habeas petition is to inquire into the legality of one’s detention which presupposes that respondents have actual custody of the persons subject of the petition.” It recommended the filing of criminal complaints against those the families believed were responsible for the disappearance of the three. It also asked for further investigation by the Commission on Human rights, the National Bureau of Investigation and the Philippine National Police.
The military, up to today, denies all knowledge of Karen Empeño, Sherlyn Cadapan and Manuel Merino.
To conclude, this is the Court of Appeals’ final evaluation and assessment of the case:
“The respondents were not telling the whole truth as they appeared to be evasive in their declarations. They were persistent in their denials but their assertions contradict each other. Almost always, their responses were denial or lack of knowledge on matters they were supposed to know in their respective areas of responsibility. Worse, their testimonies do not appear to jibe with one another.”
The military has no comment.
Shades of Pinochet’s Chile. And maybe all responsible will claim mental illness to avoid the consequence of their actions when their time to pay their debts comes around. They are sick in the Head in the first place!!!
officers in their company grade ranks do everything to please their commanders, which is their main responsibility being new in the service. while they advance in their career, say promoted, each load is passed to their subordinates following in line. and when they reach the much salivating field grade ranks, their responsibilities turn into command that those in their former positions need not break!
how much more when they are in the flag grade or star ranks?
My sincerest sympathy, Ellen, to the people of the Philippines. Golly, a crime has been committed but the victim is afraid to go to the police because the police are either useless or in connivance or belonging to the same unit that has been terrorizing Filipinos on the flimsy excuse that they are conniving with some tulisans! Now, where do they go for help to seek redress for their grievances.
What a mockery of justice and law!!! Kakaiyak!!! Kakasuka!
Sorry but I just can’t help comparing the Philippines to Japan. Actually, I find people there I talk to about the difference when they reason out that Japan has a more advanced culture. Hello! The truth was the Philippines should have been more advanced since they were conquered earlier by the West and Japanese emulated later. Puro excuses lang talaga! But where in the world can you find a minister, unconfirmed though he is, acting more like a hoodlum than a minister of justice. Gosh, pirming nanakot! Over here, he will be in for a public reprimand. Una na ang media ng pagbatikos sa mga kurakot.
Right now in fact, PM Abe in hot water for a statement that victims of the war here find unforgivable. He said according to the talk show I was watching today that he said that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were something that could not be helped and consequence/part of the war that people should accept with a grain of a salt. I understand that there would be a big rally today and everyday until Abe apologizes for his insensitivity.
I wish Filipinos would be bolder to demand better service, not just treatment but courtesy from their elected and non-elected PUBLIC SERVANTS as we do in Japan.
Good luck to all!!!
Puede ba, sibakin din iyong mga gunggonzales na mga deputies ni Unano. Dapat dinarakip na iyong Raul dahil he violated the election law—vote buying is a crime!!! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
In this blog of Filipino dialectic, I read the thesis, and the anti-thesis of a cadaverous nation. Being presumptuous (I couldn’t care anymore) here is an attempt of a synthesis.
Soldiery to me is the most noble and most honourable, most dignified endeavour and profession in the history of any nation. Regardless of rank, some names link to the highest form of heroism I just can’t forget. Their countries’ name might be forgotten: Audie Murphy went to Hell and Back, Field Marshall Mountbatten, Rommel, Ike Eisenhower, Pilot Villamor, Malvar of Batangas, Goyo del Pilar, Douglas McArthur, Dionision Ojeda, Bonnie Serrano, Omar Bradley, dead soldiers who fought Kamlon. No wonder, Prince Charles and his sons William and Harry needed the refinements of soldiery. Were I a Filipino soldier, I would have named hundreds.
Soldiery sad to say , starting from the Romans who saw the crucifixion of Jesus got tainted, corrupted, ultimately criminalized by politics and religious bigotry. Politicians, justices, and bishops make criminals out of soldiers and rebel-patriots as in the Philippines, in Iraq or whichever where there is rebellion and insurrection. Where there is none, where politicians, justices and bishops were not criminals like in Britain, most countries in Europe and in North America to be a soldier, to be a general is to be proud higher than lawyers or doctors. To be the happiest citizen according to Aristotle?
In the Philippines, soldiery will never be the same as during the time of the Katipuneros. There is hope of restoration of honor, Love of country, and the singular pride of being a Filipino soldier if majority of the politicians, justices, the bishops and the generals who made criminals out of soldiers, to torture and kill their own people will be lined up and faced the ultimate cure, by hanging or musketry. Only then will the insurgents lay down their arms to return to the farms and factories. There is no other way to decriminalized politics, the courts and the church and very crucial –the generation they already spawned.
Need I write it down if you have read my postings before? Of course, I am a proud of being a Filipino not in spite of, but because of Andres Bonifacio. I am nothing like my forebears without him. To me, the ultimate rebel, the ultimate soldier, the paramount Filipino is Andres Bonifacio.
Sisiw pala ang mga ipinaglaban ng mga bayani natin if compared now with what we are fighting for.
Ellen,
It is not the policy of the AFP to kill/abduct members of left-leaning organizations. However, there are Area Commanders and Division Commanders of the Philippine Army who are making the mistake of making the assessment/report to Higher Headquarters that the armed insurgents are no longer in the mountains and that they are already in the urban areas. This is always the “alibi” of Commanders who do not “push” their sub-unit commanders (battalion and company) to look/find, fix, fight, finish and fool the armed elements in the mountains. Not “pushing” the troops to the lairs of the armed insurgents in the mountains means more “savings” from the operational financial support/resources of AFP units. These “savings” go to the “retirement” fund of these Commanders for them to build their own house/s and enjoy the ride of brand-new SUVs after retirement from the service. So, these “lazy and about to retire” Commanders focus their attention in neutralizing these left-leaning members who are in the urban areas and make them appear in their reports as neutralized armed elements of the CPP/NPA.
after operations and intelligence reports are always done in haste and sometimes with no reliable sources at all. what should be an A1 info becomes e-wan info.
mostly during actual encounters, the safety of the civilians are being put in the sideline especially when troop leaders are desperate in attaining results. firearms are trained on whatever moving objects they have in sight. the SOP of securing and preserving the innocent are usually neglected.
BK,
if you insist it is not the policy of the AFP to kill/abduct members of left-leaning organizations, then you are clearly closing your eyes and pretending no abuses are committed against those “marked” as enemies of the malakanyang occupants. it is already a glaring and shouting TRUTH that ONLY the interest of the MAKAGARAPAL-arroyo family is being protected by the military hierarchy especially the generals who were only promoted because of their “pagsisipsip kay gloria” and those promised juicy positions after their retirement from the military service.
huwag mong ipikit ang iyong mga mata at pasakan ang sariling tenga dahil baka isang araw, hindi na iba sa iyo ang maging biktima!
‘yun ay kung meron ka pang malasakit sa sambayanang matagal nang pinaglalaruan nina gloria.
BK, I believe you that extra judicial killing of militants is not a policy of the AFP. In principle.
That’s why in that command conference reported by the Inquirer (I think I know who are the officials involved because I have been working on this story also.) some of the officials were appalled by the order of that utak pulbura commander. My information was that Gen. Palparan was present in that meeting.
I have talked with at least two officials who was told by one of the officials present in that command conference and they were also appalled.
They all said that’s not the way they conduct counter-insurgency campaign.
I agree BK. There are a lot of decent members of the military. Unfortunately, 28 of them are in detention in Camp Capinpin in Tanay and some 60 of them are in detention centers in Fort Bonifacio, Fort San Felipe and in Villamor Air Base.
That official who ordered to kill the leftists has been promoted and is the chief of one of the AFP’s major services. By rewarding the likes of him and Palparan, Gloria Arroyo,the commander in chief, in effect, gives approval to the deplorable practice of killing suspected members of leftist organizations.
Gloria and those killer generals are destroying the military institution.

Before you go on with your posting in the blog, I would like to remind you of your post on January 29th, 2007 at 8:13 am.
This is the portion of what you wrote on the decent members of the military who are in detention cells as Ma’m Ellen stated:
But the ultimate best you can give to these whining officers is SEX…hahaha! (Not necessarily with their wives).
BK- “the insurgents are no longer in the mountains but in the urban areas”. Are they partners of the military? Or are they in the military itself?” In that respect one happy family na sila? Very interesting ang sinabi mo. Kung ganoon nga, makakauwi na ako sa binukid kang San Remigio kag Sibalom- nga wara sang kulba. (If that is so, I can safely go to the mountains of San Remigio and Sibalom.) Thanks for the info BK.
Black Knight
If you can’t remember what you wrote on January 29, 2007, here’s your whole second paragraph:
These officers are simply “whiners”. In simple terms, they are not sick! What they have are sick “brains”!!! What they need is simple exercises everyday and they have to watch their diet. They need to sweat and stretch their muscles. Better yet, read the Holy Bible for enlightenment. Send them psychiatrists/guidance counselors and spiritual persons/priests!!! But the ultimate best you can give to these whining officers is SEX…hahaha! (Not necessarily with their wives).
There you go. I provided a presumptuous synthesis in the dialectic and more thesis and anti-thesis are coming out from Ellenville citizens . Don’t get me wrong, I am no Marxist or a Greek. I am just my own old man since I first sang O Pagsintang Lupa, that long forgotten national anthem.
Public policy is what government does or fails to do. Government intentions become public policy when they are executed without sanctions. Bad governments thrive when its criminal acts are carried out through UNWRITTEN public policies, the legality of which are never question by the legislature or the judiciary. The killings and murders of journalists, activists and government critics, even rebels become palpable public policy when the numbers and duration are the unequivocal evidence.
When COMELEC plans and executes election fraud or fails to stop cheating, that’s government policy of the head of government. It remains unwritten policy. No need to re write the charter of the COMELEC. So are the killings and murders, so are the plunder of the peoples money and national wealth.
Public policy formulation and execution implicates the entire government officialdom. That’s command responsibility. Culpable violations of the provisions of the constitution implicates not the underlings but the big BOSSES and should be punishable by death in a revolution.
The thesis and anti-theses posted in the blogs becomes the gobbledegooks of beneficiaries and victims, protagonists and antagonists of the debate about written and unwritten public policies. The generalizations arrived at by both advocates and detractors become the synthesis which only a revolution can prove correct or a mistake. Until then any side is the correct side, the side that nurtures life sustenance of clean minds and luxury and debauchery of the body.
It may be true that extra-judicial killings is not an official policy of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), however, the civilian Commander-In Chief Gloria Arroyo and her Internal Security Cabinet men laid anti-insurgency plans and policies. Parts of it are extra-judicial killings and abductions of leftist activists. The military just follow Malacanang orders and implemented it. The GMA Cabinet Oversight Committee on Internal Security (COCIS) is headed by Executive Secretary Eduardo General Eduardo Ermita and other members are National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales and Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez. Three military generals have confirmed the existence of dreaded policy against the militants. The buck stops at Malacanang gates.
More on public policy (goal is service and protection) as against business policy (goal is profit and more profit):
When Gloria speaks and directs all those riding cars with plate numbers 2 and higher –that’s policy, when Mike hints and whispers, that’s policy too. Pray for God’s tender mercies for those who are straight and wise but can’t carry those unwritten policies. No problem though for the business inclined functionaries because Gloria and Mike’s doctoral skills and interests are the applications of business policy in family development.
In the military, when the Chief of staff, Service, Division,
Brigade, Battalion and Company Commanders BARK orders,those orders are not policy per se, but rules (no deviation or exemptions) and regulations to implement policies (general appropriation acts, declaration of war) enunciated by their civilian superior authority. Within their constitutional role, as a distinct and unique uniformed and disciplined organization orders issued to commissioned and non-commissioned officers and soldiers by their commanders are supposed to fall within the purview of the articles of war. The articles of war is a policy nomenclature that is extra-civilian designed to imposed disciplined behaviour based more on obedience than reason.
The Articles of War for example, conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentlemen becomes a joke when an accused officer ceased to be an officer and gentleman, because the people think he is no longer an officer and a gentleman but an honourable senator of the realm. To effect his continued incarceration in a military jail through the enforcement of an unwritten policy about righteous recalcitrants is in itself a mockery of the rationale of the articles of war.
RE: “That official who ordered to kill the leftists has been promoted and is chief of one of AFP’s major services“.
Romeo Tolentino is the man. Lt. Gen. Romeo P. Tolentino then headed the Northern Luzon Command and his henchman the Butcher, General Jovito Palaparan waged an all-out anti-insurgency campaign. I think this the same General Tolentino who ordered shoot-to-kill against coup recruiters in military camps and actively engaged in partisan politics. Based on media reports, Army Chief Lt. General Romeo Tolentino allegedly met with leaders of the 2nd Infantry Battalion and ordered the officers to compel their men to vote straight for Team Unity senatorial candidates and for Bantay. Ballots were surrendered to the officer and checked for compliance. Utak pulbora Tolentino may replace retiring AFP chief General Esperon.
BK, if your purpose is to continue discouraging us about Senator Trillanes, forget it because you cannot change our opinion, respect and regard for this long-suffering gentleman. If he dies or get assassinated while in incarceration or even when they allow him to be free, it will be a reflection of the inefficiency, incompetence, and worse, graft and corruption being perfected by your favorite criminal, who cannot be arrested and sent to jail right now because her appointees are still the ones controlling the police/military and courts of the Philippines.
If your purpose, however, is to inflame the Filipinos, you can bet your bottom dollar that even without your prodding, they are already inflamed. Mihanahon pa lang nga sila. That’s why they have tried to show their dislike and disapproval for the creep by making sure Senator Trillanes is voted despite the fact that he was not able to conduct a normal campaign, and his campaign being conducted by volunteers like a lot many of the people here have done, etc. At least, give them credit for that. Baka maiwan ka sa biyahe if you still refuse to join the bandwagon.
Black Knight:
I think you want to present us a picture here, that everything is okey when it’s not too often the case. Trillanes and those soldiers shouldn’t be punished or made them feel disloyal, not part of team, troublemakers, whiners, dissenters, malcontents just because they give a true sitrep on certain things going on over their thief commander, they are facing disciplinary action for disloyalty and insubordination, they could end up counting their gray hairs confined in slammer for many years.
There is no question that in the military cannot be entirely composed of good men, and yet each soldiers is expected to do his duty well, and must therefore have virtue, still inasmuch as all soldiers cannot be alike, the virtue of a good soldier and of the good man cannot coincide.
A command is like a sailors, they have different functions, for one of them is a rower, another is a pilot, and a third a look-out man, a fourth is described by some similar term, and while the precise definition of each individual virtues is applicable to them all, for they have all the same object which is safely navigation.
This is not the rule of which we are speaking, but there is a rule in military of some kind, which a ruler must learn by obeying, as he would learn the duties of a general of cavalry by being under the orders of general cavalry. It has been well said that he has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.
Ellen,
Re “BK, I believe you that extra judicial killing of militants is not a policy of the AFP.”
Right you are Ellen! EXTRA-JUDICIAL KILLING OF MILITANTS, ACTIVISTS, SUSPECTED LEFT-WING SYMPATHIZERS, HARD LINE ANTI-ARROYO individuals or even groups of people IS OR WILL EVER BE OR SHOULD EVER BE AFP POLICY, nor should it be the policy of any legal member of any of the uniformed services of the Philippines.
That there should be young UP college women like Karen Empeno and Sheryl Capadan who should be abducted in broad daylight by suspected members of one of the uniformed services of this God-forsaken country is almost bearable if only the AFP and its leadership would do the right thing: SEARCH, DIG UP, UNEARTH every corner of the Philippine territory to show their families, their friends and the Filipino people at large that the AFP is not complicit the abduction of these two women.
Instead what does the AFP and its harlot, fat-assed, immoral, ball-less, eunuch-like and unprincipled leadership do? They hide behind a lot of bullshit legalese! And who is their commander in chief? The ugliest, the dirtiest, and the most harlot of bitches the Philippines has ever known? Gloria Macapagal Arroyo!
I condemn in the most vigorous terms the unspoken AFP policy today abducting, torturing, extra-judicial killings of Filipino militants. These jerks and pillocks of leaders in the AFP today may ask me, you, all of us to prove what we advance here but I spit on their faces and tell them that in a country ruled by swines, there can be no more room for such legal niceties; that in a nation where the rule of law is no longer observed, these jerks and plonkers of the lowest category have forfeited the right to call on the law to protect their dirty asses – in my book, they should be given their own dose of their medicine. These AFP leaders should be abducted in turn, tortured, and hanged from the highest lamppost to inflict on them the same agony they inflict on the families of these young Filipino militants… an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
This country needs an Attaturk!
Yuko,
Re danger to Trillanes’ life
That shihead Esperon DOESN’T HAVE the courage to have Trillanes assasinated so don’t worry – that eunuch personified who is Esperon doesn’t have the balls to order anything of the sort because he knows that if Sen Trillanes gets killed, he too will get it in the neck. Esperon has neither the moral nor the physical courage to do or order anything of the sort. He is as you like to say, sundalong kanin. And if, heaven forbid, anything of the sort happens, then it’s time to have some bloodletting in the Philippines starting from the harlot in Malacanang.
Maceda, today said, “She has forgotten her first duty to protect the Filipinos. She has failed to stop extra-judicial killings. She is losing the war against rebels, insurgents and criminals syndicates. She’s the black knight.”
Hey, don’t take it literally.
BTW, Anna, as usual, says it all.
This is the first time I read that the 2 UP lasses could actually still be alive. Could you confirm Patricia’s story, Ellen? What a relief if true! This is probably part of the script that’s being played, when Sheryl appeared before her mother-in-law.
The drama is, that the 2 women, now named Ka Liza and Ka Tanya, are not detained by the state but have officially joined the Reds in the boondocks. The next act I believe, would be a gory scene. It won’t be too remote that we find their dead bodies soon in an “encounter” between the rebels and soldiers.
Damn nincompoops, that’s what you get from watching too many soap.
Sana nga, Anna, but these crooks can order things to be done and wash their hands. Shade of Ebdane as a matter of fact. I remember an interview I translated by some police officer who complained about Ebdane. Wala daw ginawa kundi mag-utos lang, din sitting pretty and when the action is finished, lilitaw kunyari it is his accomplishment kung maganda ang balita, and then kunyari scold his men kung palpak sila.
Kaya who says this guy did not have anything to do with the cheatings in the last election? Kunyari lang iyong nakatago sila ang doing nothing. Shade of the Pidals. Pailalim kung tumira.
The US FBI in fact reportedly paid Ramos and Ebdane for information and evidences collected by the Manila police on the Moslem Fundamentalists that Bush conveniently use to launch the attack on Iraq, which was already sidelined by the attacks on Afghanistan even when he knew that the Moslem Fundamentalists were mainly based in Pakistan!
Point is that they should not have the police under the military. It should be run by civilians commissioned to be guardians of peace, law and order.
Sino bang gunggong ang nagsama ng milirary at police. Kaya tuloy hindi magalang-galang ng mga pilipino ang mga sundalong pilipino ngayon e.
Discipline is needed but the Philippines is not at war (?) and the Filipinos do not need to be under the jurisdiction and custodial watch of military policemen acting or functioning as civilian policemen.
Nakakagulo lang ang mga iyan sa mga imbestigasyon. PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA
Soldiers are also people with hierarchy of needs. Some have moved on to the sixth level. Those incarcerated opting for a sex level according to one here. The lower echelon are disciplined blind followers. They jump at their masters’ bark. Moving up the larder they become gentlemen expected to use discretion and read what else are in the minds of their commanders and execute it. Succeeding, some shed off gentleness and turn into officers, those who occupy vaulted offices. They are expected of hound allegiance for the handlers’ extracurricular whims. They take care of body counts and threats to justify the next bloated fiscal program to nurture the organization’s cartel of suppression? though alien to official mandates. Success is often rewarded with positions puppet strings still attached when they long faded to qualify anymore as soldiers. (Placing used up people to any position in the government starts the very young exposed early to a jobless world of impotence).
Our military is patterned after the US surplus. So far we find its hell to the grassroots. Wondering how would it be if we patterned it to some others, maybe the kem pei tai or the PLA.
Nakakahiya! Officers and Gentlemen pa man din.
Nawala na sa kanila yung pagiging gentlemen, officers na lang.
Anyway, sa last judgement, maisisiwalat din ang katotohanan.
Walang makakawala sa mga sikreto na buong ingat na itinago.
Pakisabi na lang sa mga kumag na ito, mamamatay ka din kristiyano!
The people of the Philippines, at home and abroad must NOT allow the disappearance of Sheryl Capadan and Karen Empeno to remain one of the unsolved mysteries.
We gotta keep those bastards in the “leadership” of the AFP on their toes – they must FIND those two young college women including the other missing militants. We must not allow bastard Esperon and his co-eunuchs to get away with their crime!
