Dapat malaman ng pamahalaan ng España, lalo pa ng Universidad de Alcala na nagbigay kay Gloria Arroyo ng award bilang champion ng human rights ang salaysay ni Raymond manalo, isang magsasaka na kinidnap ng mga ahente ng military noong nakaraang taon.
Si Raymond at ang kanyang kapatid ay kinuha ng mga miyembro ng Citizen Armed Forces Geographical Unit (Cafgu) sa San Ildefonso, Bulacan noong Pebrero 2006 sa hinala na sila daw ay miyembro ng New People’s Army.
Dinala sila sa iba’t ibang kampo at nakatakas sila.
Sa Camp Tecson sa Bulacan, sinabi ni Manalo na nakita niya si Sherlyn Cadapan, ang isa sa dalawang estudyante ng University of the Philippines na kinidnap noong Hunyo 2006 (ang isa ay si Karen Empeño) na nakakadena ang paa sa isang double-deck na higaan.
Sinabi ni Manalo inutusan siyang maglinis ng barracks kung saan sila nakakulong at doon niya nakita si Sherlyn. Nakasuot raw si Sherlyn ng fatigue na shorts at naka-T shirt. September 2006 raw yun. Huli raw niya nakita ang dalawa babaeng estudyante noong Hunyo.
Sana nga buhay pa sina Karen Empeño at Sherlyn Cadapan hanggang ngayon. Ipagdarasal natin na bigyan pa sila ng sapat na lakas na malampasan nila itong kalbaryo na kanilang dinadaanan sa kamay ng mga berdugo ni Arroyo.
Ang salaysay ni Manalo ay naganap sa hearing ng Court of Appeals sa writ of amparo na isinampa mga magulang ni Karen at Sherlyn. Maala-ala natin na deny na deny ang military, lalo pa si Gen. Jovito Palparan, na may kinalaman sila sa pagkawala ng dalawang estudyante. Pinuri pa todo-todo ni Arroyo si Palparan sa kanyang state of the nation address.
Ganoon na rin ang nangyari kay Jonas Burgos na dinampot sa isang mall sa Quezonm City noong Abril. Inaakusahan ni Edith Burgos, ina ni Jonas at asawa ni Joe Burgos, ang founder ng Pahayagang Malaya, ang military na siyang dumampot sa kanya anak. Siyempre deny rin ng deny ang mga batas ni AFP Chief Hermogenes Esperon kahit nabuking sila na ang car plate ng kotseng ginamit ay hawak ng military.
Magsasampa rin si Edith Burgos ng writ of amparo, isang paraan upang magkakaroon ng hustisya sa ano mang kaso na akala ng isang tao ay nadehado siya ng pamahalaan.
Itong si Arroyo ay nanatili sa kapangyarihan hindi dahil sa tiwala at suporta ng taumbayan kungdi sa paggamit ng military para sa kanyang personal na kapakanan.
Maraming buhay ang nasira at mga pamilyang nagdudusa para lamang manatili si Arroyo sa kapangyarihan. Ngunit may katapusan rin yan.
The Sumilao case is the best example how the Filipinos are treated by the three branches of the government. The executive – the President can use it for political purpose. The congress who produced the lopsided CARP law are controlled by landowners and family dynasties. The judiciary who are bind by the lopsided CARP law.
As I anticipated before, the President will side with the farmers. Today the President issued an order of revocation of 144 hectares of disputed Sumilao property. As I said before it will not the end of the story. Again in the Inquirer today, it said “No Tears of Joy” for the farmers. Marlon Manuel, the farmers chief lawyer realized that it will be start of the long legal battle up to the Supreme Court by then, Gloria will no longer be the President.
This is a typical cancer in the Philippines. Gloria Arroyo will be replaced and the cancer will still be there for the farmers.
Not only can Manalo’s testimony be used to persuade Universidad de Alcala to withdraw its medal awarded to Gloria’s regime, but also for the court to issue a Writ of Amparo to compel the military to produce those missing students/activists (including Burgos).
I’m just passing by, but cannot help replying to this loop. The board of directors of that university that honored the idiot should hear the testimony of a witness who saw how the two UP students were tortured by the military on order of the crook sitting pretty at the palace by the murky river.
Filipinos should strongly protest against such award to the No. 1 Corrupt President of the Philippines. Shame on the directors of Universidad de Alcala. Sin verguenza!
Sorry, guys, but for all that is happening in the Philippines, I can’t greet anyone here a happy Christmas! Sorry na lang sa mga bugok na ayaw pang kumilos para matanggal na si Unano! They deserve what they get, sabi nga!
I can’t remember already who, but one of the two women was pregnant at the time of abduction.
Pity the child, whose first sight of the world is one awful scene of barbaric cruelty and terror, of torture and pain, of sorrow and despair.
Those are worse than death itself.
Yet save for a few, no one seemed to care. What a pathetic society!
Yuko,
While you’re there, paki tignan mo nga yung bahay sa Verducci Drive, baka nandun yung mga anak, paki-hagisan mo naman ng Christmas Card.
Samahan mo ng bato.
Tongue,
I will. Sa Daly City ba iyan? I saw the properties at Van Ness because I owned a 4-unit apartment in Pacific Heights and knew the area quite well from the Japan Town to Market St.
Tindi talaga ng nakawan ng mga dorobo sa totoo lang. Baka magbayad na lang ako ng isang bum para tapunan sila ng bomba na puro tae ng mga homeless ng SFO! 😛
Back to the two UP students, Tongue. Narinig ko ang testimonials ng witnesses and appeal ng mga nanay nila. Golly pala ang ginawa sa dalawa. Ini-interrogate na pinapasakan ng kung ano ang kanilang mga genitals para umamin ng kasalanang hindi nila ginagawa. Bakit hindi ang genitals ni Gloria Dorobo ang barurutin ng mga animal?
Sa amin iyan, matagal nang nasibak si Dorobo. Pati iyong mga pino-promote niya either nakakulong o nagbigti na! That is kung hindi walanghiya! Kulo, kulo, kulo talaga ng dugo!
My sympathy and condolence to the death of democracy in the Philippines!
I have a complete report of Alston. I got it from AI and Human Rights Now. I understand AI Japan, etc. are writing the Univesrsidad de Alcala to inform them of their mistake in giving the Dorobo an award as a human rightist champion. Yuck! Magnanakaw talaga!
Why not send the sad stories to the Universidad de Alcala so those concerned would know and might even recall the honors inappropriately awarded. We can afford to lose the Spanish contract anyway.
Valdemar,
Spanish LOANS, actually. After the cold-shoulder treatment from World Bank from the bidding scams, she portrays a defiant image and counts on her allies from China and Spain and the others that she is a STRONG leader.
Oo na nga, strong na!
Ay, salamat at nakapasok rin ako!
Ay, salamat at nakapasok rin ako! Can’t help but sympathize with the parents of these 2 students! Sana naman maibalik silang buhay pa at maparusahan ang dapat parusahan!
Tama ka, Ellen. Ang mga pagdurusang ito sa ilalim ng pekeng adminstration ay may KATAPUSAN! I pray for it everyday!
“Make it sooner, Lord!”
For the meantime, “Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and a “GMA-less” New Year!!!
Elvira: Just like you, I pray for the removal of the root of corruption in the Phil. I pray for a change of heart of the leader (kahit peke siya..kasi siya ang nakaupo at mukhang hindi niya ma alsa ang buli niya) and all her staff-military and all..to have a room for God in their hearts..Christmas should bring us hope, love, justice, truth, peace so we all will rejoice. In almost all catholic churches here in JC, with Filipino parishioners have the simbang gabi..I have never completed this 9 days Christmas novena in my whole life..but this time I am determined to do it (kahit na tgrrr grrr manong) and my primary intention and petition is for the removal of the root of evil…remove the c (as in conscience) in the word civil society and what we do we get “ivil” ..sana may concience ang mga ating pinuno..
let’s not lose hope..with all our prayers..united in prayers..Muslims, Christians, etc. God is our hope..”how long do we have to wait dear Lord..you are our only hope.”
BTW..nakita ko kanina sa TFC (sa restaurant) na 800 Muslims were stranded sa Mecca..kawawa naman..but when we come to think of many Filipinos are stranded in their homes because of poverty..many Filipinos are slaves in their own homes kasi hindi sila maka galaw..sa poverty..kailangan kaya sila makalaya sa slavery na ito..dahil sa ating mga politicians..sana bago matapos ang taon so we all will have a prosperous, holy and blessed 2008..
sabi kanina ng aming pastor…not all those who studied in exclusive catholic schools or Christian schools make room for Jesus in their hearts ..not all who went to Jesuit schools, Christian Brother Schools make room for Jesus in their hearts..not all of them are disciples of Christ–they don’t obey the commandments of God..He was not referring to Ateneo or de la Salle…St. Peter College (a Jesuit school) is just a block away from the church..Hudson Catholic High School (Christian Bros.) is just across the street..I couldn’t help but smile..how true.. and this is Jersey City..
The Filipinos have lost their sense of rage. They are more concerned of filling their stomach. Gloria Arroyo made the people so poor that they have no strength to oppose her abusive and oppressive regime. Gloria Arroyo achieve this by conniving with big businesses and oligarch.
Kaya tuloy ang pag aabuso at pang aapi sa kontra sa mga kababuyan nila.
Rose:
You reminded me of a Filipino priest’s (from Romee) sermon last Sunday. He emphasized the letter C for Christ, having Him the Center of our lives, not only during Christmas, but throughout the year! How great is it if each one of us could do it. How good an EXAMPLE would GMA be, before the eyes of every Filipino, if she could ONLY add a letter C to the word conscience. BUT…am I saying these words to a woman who has no C at all? Then, let us ACT on it …NOW!
,
Hi Balweg,
You were asking me in a previous thread if it’s a Deal or no Deal for me. Of course , it’s a No Deal (to remain silent and accept all the LIES, corruptions, briberies, killings of jounalists and activists, etc,etc…And Game na Game na ako, matagal na)…na ipagpatuloy natin ang Laban para sa KATOTOHANAN!
Ay, Rome pala..Sori!
Delikado pala ang manirahan sa Pinas,dudukutin ka tapos palabasin na isa kang NPA.Ang mahirap ang paghahanap,kung patayin ka na lang at iwanan sa lugar na madali kang matagpuan at least kuntento na ang mga pamilyang naulila na patay ka na nga.Di tulad ng ganyan hangga ngayon ay hindi pa nila alam kung ano na ang nagyayari sa mga dinukot nila.Biruin mong kalbaryo iyan.
Elvie:
Rome was destroyed from within. Iyan ang mangyayari kay Dorobo. Kulang lang kasi sa dasal ang mga pilipino na umaasa pang magbago si Mrs. Dorobo. But what they seem to miss is that this Dorobo is a criminal who deserve to be penalized, not tolerated because she cannot be removed pronto as she and her husband have succeeded in putting all their friends in positions to protect and preserve her!
Pati pulis kurakot, what can you expect? Sabi nga ni Trillanes, “Tuloy ang laban!”
…who deserves…
Hi Elvie S.,
By the way, Merry +mass and advance Happy New Year….isama ko narin ang Hapi 3 Kings ha! Pagpalain nawa ang inyong buong pamilya ng ating Mahal na Panginoon.
Victims of extrajudicial killings were parts of our struggle and dedication to pursue the freedom and better Philippines.
If anyóne stand in the path of truth, GMA regime and cabals of Generals tagged us as an enemies of our people and laws of the land.
They meant that they are the defenders of democracy, but in reality these people pahirap sa bayan at kaaway ng batas.
Kaya ang daming buhay ang napaslang at pinaslang sa panahon ng rehimeng Arroyo. Nasaan ang tunay na katarungan at hustisya sa ating bayan?
Dapat linis ang mga hudlum in uniforms sa Korte Suprema at Hanay ng Militar/Kapulisan.
Ang problema nito eh matigas ang ulo ng mga nakakarami nating Kababayan, puro reklamo eh di naman nakikipagtulungan sa oras ng laban…yan ang aking natutuhan, marami sa mga Pinoy playing safe ang gusto lang eh ligaya pero iwas naman sa problema.
Kailangang gumumising na ang taong-bayan at mamulat sa tunay na nangyayari sa ating bansa. Ginagamit lamang tayo ng iilan sa ating lipunan? Ang pera at kapangyarihan ang kanilang ginagamit na pangsupil sa ating karapatan.
Kung magkakaisa ang Masang Pilipino eh walang magagawa ang mga eletistang gustong mangalipin sa ating mahihirap na Kababayan.
Panahon na para tayo magkaisa at ipaglaban ang tunay na kalayaan at pagbabago sa ating lipunan.
Kung ang Arroyo regime ay mayroong AFP, dapat ang Masang Pilipino eh magbuo ng Sandatahang Lakas ng Masang Pilipino para ipang check and balance sa kanilang kabuktutan.

Marcos was an even better president? Yes? STFU with this commie/socialist diatribes. It’s getting old. Be original.
Merry +mass Co2y,
Wag kang madisappoint sa ating Bayang Minamanal, ang mga nangyayari sa ating lipunan ay bahagi lamang ng isang kasaysayan na magiging ilaw at tanglaw sa mga darating na henersyon ng lahing Pinoy.
Ang sarap mabuhay sa sariling Bayan, doon mo madarama ang tunay na kaligayahan sa buhay. Ang materyal na bagay ay palamuti lamang at may hangganan, subali’t ang magkapag-alay ka ng buhay sa iyong lupang sinisinta ay magiging buhay na alaala at inspirasyon.
Ang nakalulungkot eh marami sa ating Kababayang Pinoy ay unti-unting nililisan ang Bayang sinilangan, heto tuloy ang mga banyagang instik, koreano, indian at kung sinu-sino pa ang nagdadagsaan sa ating bansa at sabi nila eh napakaganda pala ng Pilipinas.
Buti pa ang mga banyaga hapi sa Pinas at nagsisiulad sa larangan ng pagnenegosyo. Kaya dapat tayong mga Pinoy eh magsipagbago na ng pag-iisip talangka upang umunlad ang bansa at kanya-kanyang pamumuhay.
“Buti pa ang mga banyaga hapi sa Pinas at nagsisiulad sa larangan ng pagnenegosyo.”
magkano naman kaya ang isinusuhol ng mga banyagang ito upang mabigyan ng permit to put up business sa ating bansa? gayundin, magkano ang inilalagay nila upang permanenteng manirahan sa pilipinas nang hindi na kailangang dumaan sa tamang proseso? sigurado bang sino man sa mga banyagang ito ay hindi wanted sa kanilang sariling bansa?
hindi kaya front lamang ang mga dayuhang ito upang maitago ang mga nakaw na salaping pinupuhunan sa negosyo ng mga kawatan sa gobyerno?
Merry +mass S.O./Balatucan,
Yan ang problema sa ating mga Pinoy, ang lahat ng nangyayari sa ating lipunan eh sa gobyerno isinisisi?
Ang bilis namang makalimot ng mga Pinoy, i’m sure wala namang amnesia o kaya nalipasan ng gutom ang mga bumuto at nagpanalo kay GMA last 2004 election (under protest ito ng dahil sa Hello Garci?).

GMA = 47
FPJ = 53
Based on the outcome of this 2004 election, ang 12,863,316 botanteng Pinoy ang siyang nag-upo kay GMA sa Malacanang at ang siste nito eh baka ang isa sa kanila eh kamag-anakan o kapamilya natin di ba!
Paano na ngayon, kung still have Pinoy na patuloy na sumusuporta kay GMA, dapat kasama sila sa ating struggle to teach them a lesson para mangatauhan at magising na sa bulag na pagsuporta sa gobyernong ito.
Ang paghihirap ng ating bansa eh sa atin ding mga Pinoy dapat isisi ito sapagka’t di na natuto sa pagpili ng dapat iboto. May lesson na tayo kay GMA sa 4-years niyang panunungkulan eh wala namang nabago sa ating buhay at lalong naghirap ang bayan at nagpatuloy ang pagsalangsang.
In 1Jn.3:10, “In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Who-over does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
“Mery +mass Mrivera,
Good question? Naitanong ko rin ito sa aking sarili, bakit ang mga banyaga eh gustong mag-stay sa Pinas at tayo namang mga Pinoy eh gustong magsipag-abroad o kaya mag migrate sa ibang bansa?
Yan ang malaking katanungang naglalaro sa isipan ng maraming Pinoy sa kasalukyan? Pagbabago ang isinisigaw?
mga bok (you know who),
Hope you’re using clean lines (public pc’s) don’t want to get you in trouble…
balweg,
walang kapanipaniwala sa mga resultang nasa itaas. alam nating lahat na ‘yan ay resulta ng dagdag-bawas noong 2004 election.
kahit itanong natin kina abalaos at garci.
If you are not kissing Gloria’s ass, praising and adulating her, you are a communist? What a crap!
I can criticize our government over in Japan, and march down the streets of Tokyo against issues for instance but never once have I heard anyone calling me a communist because I am not!
I don’t even have the inclination to join the Communist Party of Japan even when it is a recognized political party. I’d rather be called “an activist,” a trademark of those who have graduated from UP as a matter of fact.
That it is legal to be a communist in Japan is what I call real democracy!
Come to think of it, but for the information of the ignoramuses in the Philippines and even in the US of A, both Russia and China are called “republic” not “communist.” Sobra naman ng kitid ng utak ng mga hindi daw democratic daw!
Guys,
If a blog post comes from an obscure sender does the message reflect a bizarre world?
Pronto!
tongue,
May mga tao dito sobrang paranoid, tingin sa tin lahat komunista na at coup plotters (pilit pa akong paaminin ba) ano ba yan? Naiintindihan ba nila ang freedom of speech? Talaga naman, ilalagay ko pa naman sana picture ko sa handle ko para magkaroon ng personality ba? Saka na lang…
Hahahahahaha! Talaga paranoid! Alam kasi na malapit na silang masibak! Pati survey, bawal na ring i-publish kung unfavorable kay Senora Dorobo. Tindi!
Freedom of speech? Under Gloria Dorobo, limited sa kaniya at sa ungas na asawa, anak, et al niya iyan. Otherwise, those who dare call them crooks are slapped with libel suits or threat of lawsuits kuno as if everyone is a dimwit like them!
Sarap murahin, but for the spirit of Christmas, this time, I’ll be kinder to the animals!
Jug,
Yun na lang video ni JerryC. na tumutugtog ng “Canon Rock in D” ni Yngwie Malmsteen. Wag na yung pic mo. Sige ka maraming magpapalibre sayo sa EDSA Shang, heheh.
