Spare us, please, the lie that the guilty plea of Captains Gerardo Gambala and Milo Maestrocampo and seven other officers was not the beginning of the devious script that will end with Gloria Arroyo pardoning them.
Gambala and company were a pitiable sight in that presscon last Friday arranged by the military at the Philippine Army Officers Club. It was heartbreaking.
AFP Chief Hermogenes Esperon could have executed the script without subjecting the nine to further indignity with a public plea for pardon. The officers could have just written the fake president a letter. But no, Arroyo and Esperon get their high from torturing people.
Gambala et al’s pathetic public plea for pardon should serve as a warning to those who are thinking of availing of Esperon or Arroyo’s “kindness.” You will be stripped of your dignity.
What could be more pathetic than begging for forgiveness from a cheat, a liar and a thief? What could be more pathetic than asking for pardon from the most disliked person in the country today? What could be more desperate than pleading to be saved by someone who, herself, is fighting for survival?
It was painful seeing the degradation of the nine, particularly Gambala and Maestrocampo, from officers brimming with idealism when they made a stand for good governance in the AFP at the Oakwood on July 27, 2003 to what they are now- a picture of broken spirits.
Their statement which Gambala read was a study in confusion. They tried to appear humble but were not able to suppress their imagined self-importance. One sees through them the distorted minds of their jailers.
They said, “We apologize to the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the institution we have severely damaged.”
It’s the height of conceit for them to think that they were the ones who damaged the AFP. Have they forgotten what they said in Oakwood, that the enemy bullets that are killing our soldiers, “actually came from the very government that we are fighting to defend?” That can happen only in a damaged military. They could not have damaged what was already destroyed.
They also said, “And as long as these institutions are functional, it is our duty to strengthen them – not to destroy them through force, violence and unlawful means.”
Wrong premise. The AFP has ceased functioning as an institution that protects and secures the Filipino people. In the 2004 elections, military personnel were used to thwart the will of the people so that Arroyo could remain in power.
Even the dictator Marcos had more respect for the military. It was the warlords that did the actual tampering of election results; the military merely turned a blind eye. In the 2004 elections, military personnel were used as cheating operators. And even did a lousy job, according to former Comelec Virgilio Garcillano’s in his wire-tapped conversation with Arroyo.
It’s laughable that Gambala talks about strengthening institutions while pledging support to Arroyo. Aside from the military, Arroyo has destroyed the Commission on Election, the Ombudsman, the legislature, the church. The latest victim is the Supreme Court.
Another misreading by Gambala and company: “Our actions at Oakwood brought political upheaval and further disunity. We have seen that instead of helping, we weakened the very country we dearly love.”
It’s Arroyo’s misgovernance that is weakening the country. In Oakwood, the Magdalo officers expressed the outrage of many concerned citizens over the lies and abuses of the Arroyo government. The people, even the cowards among us, appreciate the bravery of the young officers that dared take on an unelected government. It’s a pity that the nine regret such one rare shining moment of members of the military trying to redeem the damaged institution that nurtured them.
One can’t help but be touched when Gambala appealed to the public not to strip him of hope for a normal life. “I need to hold on to that not only for myself but also for my family. I have a son, a one- year old son. He does not know what is happening to my life now but would like to see him grow.”
Since with his appeal for presidential pardon, he is willing to support a liar, a cheat, and a thief, I’m wondering what is Gambala going to teach his son about truth and honesty.
I’d like to share with him something from the book, “The Kite Runner”. The narrator in the book, Amir, tells about the time when he was a boy, the mullahs in Afghanistan said drinking alcohol is a terrible sin. He relayed the lesson to his father, who drinks.
The father made him sit on his lap for serious talk: “No matter what the mullah teaches, there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. “
The father continued: “When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.”
What will Gambala and the eight other officers tell their children about Gloria Arroyo?
As already widely suspected, deals were made, and now the part of slowly and dramatically unfold the “conspiracy” to the Public to again gauge the reactions and then the eventual Pardon..nothing surprising anymore and once the Principals mastered the game of Deceits, no more scrupples of doing more. to them just another day’s work in the lives of the (fill in the blank)________…
Well… what have Gambala, et. al stolen from you lately, Ms Ellen? your dignity? your pride as a Filipino? I don’t think they are enough to ruin your life. You have a great career, a very strong personality… I don’t think you will be affected in any way, whether they are given pardon or not.
What is so pathetic about asking PGMA for pardon, when, even if she is illegitimate as you say, also happens to call the shots in this Land of the Morning? You still respect her, even if you do not want to, because her position deserves the respect, even if the person in that position does not deserve it. You respect her position, and I can see that; you just don’t respect the person.
She is the one in the position to grant them the pardon that they seek. They respect that fact. And there is nothing pathetic about it. Kanino ba dapat i-forward ang request for pardon? If she is illegitimate, to whom should they give it instead? Ako, wala akong idea. As for me, ang pakiramdam ko naman humingi na sila ng tawad sa akin, so pinatatawad ko na. Pero that doesn’t still give me the right to free them from detention. My signature would not do them any good.
Whatever procedure the law of the land tells them to follow, sundin na lang nila.
“Whatever procedure the law of the land tells them to follow, sundin na lang nila.” – xenocryst.
Xenocryst, hindi ang katulad si Ellen na tatanggapin ang sistema ng batas ni Reyna ng mga baboy dahil matatag ang pagkatao ni Ellen hindi katulad mo na mababa ang pakatao – duwag at uto-uto gaya nina Gambala at Maestrocampo na yumuko kay Pigloria at Asoperon. Imagine, ang daming mga tao na katululad mo na matalino sana pero primitive ang pag-iisip gaya ng mga phony priests and judges.
What laws of the land? Binaboy na ni Mama Pig mo batas sa atin. Walang hustisya. Walang pagasa. Paurong ang sistema ng gobyerno. Naghihirap at nagugutom na ang mga Pilipino pero walang pakialam ang Pigloria government. Kaya nga kaming mga OFW’s naglalayasan na ng Pilipinas. Tinitiis namin na malayo sa aming mga mahal ..gaya nina Gambala et al gusto rin naming makita at makapiling ang aming asawa’t mga anak. ngunit tinitiis naming lumayo. dahil meron kaming tunay na paninindigan at sense of responsibility, higit sa lahat may tapang at dangal kaming uuwi at haharap sa aming mga mahal sa buhay. kaya nga tinagurian kaming modern heroes di ba?
ibahin mo si ellen. tunay na tao si ellen, malinis, matapang. may paninindigan, makadiyos. si gloria ay baboy…nangangamoy na sa baho dahil sa dami na ng katiwalian.
there are deals and there are deals.
in this deal these soldiers turned their backs on their cause, their friends and themselves.
to end their pain, to survive, true.
pieces of silver and a kiss.
What will they tell…”No, son, all those were not true, they have misquoted me, they have taken my words in the wrong context. I only parroted what was stuffed into my guts on pain of a german cut. You know me very well, I have no logic, cant even write you a good english or tagalog. I’ll finish reading the bible then become a pastor then run for congress in Quezon City.”
Sira na talaga ang ating Bansa sa kagagawan yang Glorya na yan at ang kanyang mga Tuta. Lahat na lang na kabulastugan nagawa na yata nila. Sa susunod na mga araw ano na naman kaya ang ilalabas nilang kawalanghiyaan?
I-pardon na kung i-pardon yang siyam na yan. Wala naman silang masamang ginawa sa taongbayan. Sana sila Trillanes, Gen. Miranda at sa lahat na mga kasama nila pati mga nasa preso ngayon mag-sorry na kayo kay Momma Glorya para kayo lumaya. That is Glorya’s Law …. Sorry means … your free!!!!
Respect – Everyone wants it, few gets it. Respect is earned not given. Definitely Gloria doesn’t deserve one. Why? She was never elected and doesn’t have the mandate to run the country.
Mali pala ako Sori mins … you are free!!!!! Mali pa din … Soriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I wasn’t surprise at all that those bunch of unsoldierlike, unprincipled kids displayed such lily-hearted despicable conduct. They’re just like and no different with their shameless illegal commander-in-thief, the whore of Malacanang, without no self-respecting pride.
All I can say is, their future is shot to hell. They might as well join Abu Sayaf. Since, no one will ever trust them anymore, they’re mark for life, sold their souls to the devil.
There is always a zarzuela in the government of Gloria. Gloria the lead actress and Asspweron the lead actor. Why do you want people to ask for forgiveness when Gloria was the one that got caught cheating and lying during the election. The only people that you can fool are the ones you give money. The whole world know that you are a cheat a liar and look at your Human Rights record, deep in your heart you know that it is pathetic. Are you comfortable that the people you jailed are honorable men? You are a hopeless case.
Ang tanong kasi diyan, kanino sila hihingi ng pardon kung ini-insist natin na illegitimate nga ang presidente? They may be convicted, but they still have the right to ask for pardon. Kanino ba nila dapat ibigay ‘yang request for pardon na yan maliban sa so-called illegitimate president na yan? Wala namang iba, di ba?
Etnad, I believe that Sen. Trillanes and the rest will likewise be considered for pardon. It’s not impossible. Hindi nila kailangang mag-sorry ngayon. Magpa-convict muna sila. Kung kaya nila. Delaying the hearing for Sen. Trillanes’ case is keeping him from being taken away from his senate seat.
All people at some point in their lives have to be selfish, whether you see yourself as an instrument for change in this country or not. As with the rest who were seeking pardon, Sir Sonny has likewise nothing to hold on to, except his senate seat.
Hehe… Hay naku… I don’t know about running for office, but nothing is wrong with being a pastor.
Let’s spare each other from mockery of who speaks and writes better English or Filipino. When you review the comments written here, we’re not perfect. Some of us would forget their tenses, others would slip in their spelling, some would put in totally wrong articles, some would say “lily-hearted” instead of lily-livered… we notice the speck in another’s eye, while we have a log lodged inside our own eye sockets.
gloria macapal arroyo is a DE FACTO president through coup d’etat which was illegitimately sanctioned by supreme court chief justice davide by way of the unconstitutional ‘constructive resignation’. Hence, gloria arroyo is clearly an illegitimate president.
gloria macapal arroyo is an ILLEGITIMATE DE FACTO PRESIDENT
Let them seek pardon from God.
Ilehitimo na kung ilehitimo, pero wala pa rin tayong kasagutan matapos ang lahat nang sinabi natin, kung kanino nga nila dapat ibigay ang request for pardon na ginawa nila.
Ginawa na nila ‘yun, batong.buhay, at pinatawad na sila ng Diyos. Kaso lang nasa ilalim sila ng batas ng tao, at may prosesong sinusunod ‘yun. Therefore, where do they seek this pardon from?
Paano mo nalaman na pinatawad na sila ng Diyos?
Nasa ilalim sila ng batas ni tiyanak na binastos ang konstitusyon.
xeno, the issue here is their last minute change of plea. it was contrary to the cause they were fighting for. it damages the case of the others who are pleading innocent. it certainly delivers their comrades to the ‘pharisees’. now the question is why the guilty plea????? now we know that there was indeed a deal. a script. plea guilty -> conviction -> pray for pardon -> recommendation -> pardon.
and the script is now playing on stage: “Teodoro, Esperon ask Arroyo to pardon 9 junior officers”
so it’s not on who to ask pardon from.
the issue is: why did they enter into the scripted deal?!
thirty pieces of silver and a kiss.
I dont think we need to agonize as to why they made the deal–its simply because they want to be set free. Pure and simple. But, i think we can only speculate what they intend to do once they are set free. Probably spend time with their families–thats what i would do. But if they are indeed set free doers that mean they have to sing GMA’s praises. Or they would be in a better position to act, move, mobilize and inspire? We dont know–we cannot be sure. If GMA is wily—why cant our junior officers be the same?
I personally resist the impulse to judge them–not yet, lets see what happens they may still have sa role to play before the end.
In the meantime–GMA is winning in the sense that she is succeding in dividing those moving aganist her..with her acts, she is able to undermine the groups who wish to end her reign…let us not allow her. The enemy, my brothers and sisters, is GMA and ger illegitimate regime–not Gambala, et. al. Please let us not forget that.
GMA, alis na!
@langhab, as UGN said, it’s not anymore an issue of why they changed their plea, or why they made whatever deal that they were said to have made. Gusto lang nilang lumaya.
Tapos na sana ng Enero 2008 ang kaso nila. Kaso kailangang i-delay, dahil nakasalalay ang seat ni Sir Sonny Trillanes sa Senate kung mako-convict siya. Pero isang tao lang ‘yun. Sa tingin ko, sarili lang ang iniisip ni Sir Sonny, kung ano ‘yung makakabuti sa kanya. Bihira ko nang marining na binabanggit niya ang kapakanan ng bayan sa mga statements niya.
Kung hindi siguro namatay si Mr Raul Roco, nasabihan din niya si Sir Sonny nang katulad ng sinabi niya kay Gringo: nag-coup-coup ka pa, kakandidato ka lang naman din pala.
All the more reason to shout “Foul!” to these sundalong kanin. No wonder they did not succeed. Puro duwag naman sa totoo lang. In fact, when they started boarding the bus back to the barracks dapat, I knew they chickened out except for Trillanes and the brave ones who are not willing to make a deal with the Evil Bitch and her minions.
She’s succeeding? Maybe, for the meantime because it is necessary to expose all the “bulok” of the government she has made to rot more than ever. Madali namang makita sa totoo lang. Problem is majority of the people there seem to have gotten used to the rotten government that they must think it normal to be rotten and not do anything about it.
Kawawang bansa!
Just think, there will be more crisis in October as Ellen has written but the people do not seem to care unless it is too late for them to do anything more. Golly, hihintayin nilang magutom sila ng husto and by the time they try to do something, wala na silang lakas na lumaban, and they will be at the mercy of the crooks who are buffeting them literally alive.
My condolence to all! Kawawang Pilipinas!
The moro-moro (with apologies to the Moros) continues:
Esperon, Teodoro recommend pardon to Gambala et al
http://www.malaya.com.ph/apr14/news1.htm
Xenocyst,Gloria Arroyo committed a crime of theft (people”s votes and money). That”s why she is an illegitimate president. She should be in jail.
Malaya editorial:
Indecent haste
There should at least be a little finesse in the grant of presidential pardon to the nine Oakwood officers who were sentenced by the Makati regional trial last week to prison terms of up to 12 years for seven of them and up to life for two who were among the leaders of the 2003 caper.
They have already been in detention for close to five years. A few more weeks, even months, confining them to quarters while their court martial proceedings are winding up would give time for their high profile case to recede from public view. Forms have to be observed. They pleaded guilty to the high crime of coup d’etat. They should not get off with a slap on the wrist via a presidential pardon.
Everybody suspected all along that a deal was cut when the nine changed their plea from not guilty to guilty. Even the prosecution said after the sentencing that it found the life terms meted on Captains Gambala and Maestrecampo “too harsh.” The rush to pardon, however, would make a mockery of the statement coming earlier from the military leadership that the Makati court’s judgment would send a strong signal to members of the AFP that the government would no longer tolerate adventurism within their ranks. The message was intended to serve as a deterrent to those entertaining fresh thoughts of intervention, especially in the midst of new calls for regime change.
What prompted the military leadership to make an about face?
AFP chief Hermogenes Esperon, it seems, has bigger fish to fry before he ends his extension of service on May 9. Early last week, an aide to Esperon made an approach to the junior officers among the 28 who are facing coup d’etat charges for an alleged plan to march during the 2006 Edsa anniversary and declare a withdrawal of support from Gloria Arroyo.
Esperon apparently is seeking a reprise of the successful divide and rule tactic that drove a wedge between the Gambala-Maestrecampo group and the rest of the Oakwood boys identified with dismissed Navy Lt. (s.g.) Antonio Trillanes IV who is now a senator and as defiant as before.
Esperon’s targets are his PMA batchmate Maj. Gen. Renato Miranda, former commandant of the Marines, and Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim, former commandant of the Scout Rangers. Esperon is willing to let the rest go as long as he could pin down Miranda and Lim.
But first he has to convince the Tanay junior officers of the value of his word as an officer and a gentleman. Thus the indecent haste to free the Gambala-Maestrecampo group.
Ellen,
Excellent paper! Couldn’t agree with you more.
The liliputian whore’s gigantic and bloated ego, topped by her gargantuan lust for power and money have completely desecrated Philippine instituions.
She should be hanged from the highest lampost after being tarred and feathered!
The rest of her cronies, beginning with Esperon and the Commission on Election ‘officials’ should be lined up and shot while her backers in the Supreme Court should be paraded in shackles as well as her colleagues in the legislature.
Those who don’t agree with this punishment should be told in no uncertain terms that they need to use listerine to cleanse their mouths.
What bothers me most about the sell-out, oops, plea of guilt and subsequent pardon, is that it unduly humiliates them. They accuse the government of killing its own men, and then they turn around and ask for forgiveness for that accusation.
The question therefore is not from whom they ought to ask for pardon in order for them to be set free, but rather, is it worth it to grovel, humiliate and condemn yourself to the garbage pit of history, to gain your freedom?
I too feel sorry for Gambala et al. They have truly suffered in prison. But they arent the only ones. By saying that they are willing to do this because they have suffered enough, spits in the face of those who have suffered along with them, but refuse to compromise their principles.
asan ba si PSB? gusto kong sabihan ng ” I TOLD YOU SO!!”… hehe…
ang problema kasi ang tatapang ng mga nag uudyok
Hindi naman sila ang nakakulong,
Hindi naman sila ang nahihiwalay sa pamilya
Hindi naman sila ang nawawalan ng hanapbuhay
Hindi naman sila ang naghihirap
Puro udyok ng udyok, pag pitpitan na ng b_yag, asan kaya sila?
kaya natauhan na din ang mga magdalo kasi bakit sila ang naghihirap sa pag udyok ng iba?
pag nagkarebolusyon ba e sila bang mga nakakulong ang makikinabang? hindeeee – ang mga nag udyok ang mga mauupo at siya namang magnanakaw sa bayan….
pare parehong magnanakaw mga yan, mapa admin o oposisyon…
HP, bakit may b..yag ba yang siyam na yan? Dapat hindi nila hinudas ang mga kasama nila. Mga sundalo pa naman silang naturingan. All for one .. one for all!!!!
Ang ginawa nila noon sa Oakwood ay dahil may ipinaglalaban sila. Dapat ang laban ng isa ay laban nila lahat. Totoo naman ang ipinaglalaban nila pero bakit nag-iba ng ihip ng hangin. Sumama na rin sila sa mga magnanakaw. Dahil ba nabigyan na rin sila ng pabaon?
What will Gambala and the eight other officers tell their children about Gloria Arroyo? -Ellen
Ang parte ng kanyang pagtalikod sa simulain ng Magdalo ang tanging parte ng buhay niya na kanyang hindi babanggitin sa kanyang isang taong anak kapag lumaki.
Kung babanggitin man niya ay hindi iyan problema, kinain na nga niya si Korap Gloria!
Esperon is willing to let the rest go as long as he could pin down Miranda and Lim.- Malaya
Asspweron has the right to dream. Keep on dreaming Ass if you think there is even one in the likes of Gambala-Maestrecampo and co. among the Tanay junior officers.
Maiba lang ….. ang ipinapakita na concern kuno ni Glorya ay puro pakitang tao lang. Ganyan ang Demonyo. Kita niyo na lang pag nagagalit lumalabas ang natural lalo na pag ngumisi … ngising ULOL!!!!!!
Minadaling “reclusion perpetua”! Nakilaro ng husto ang korte at bilanggong habambuhay kuno ang hatol ni Pimentel para kina Gambala-Maestrocampo upang mag magmukhang underdog ang dalawa at tuloy kaawaan ng mga pinoy na likas na ‘mababait’. Sinalo ni Korap Gloria (na siya namang script) para sa pogi points na kunwari ay ‘compassionate’ and impakta.
Tama, Etnad. Multi-faced demon according to the calls of the moment for evil’s survival!
Hindi baleng walanghiya sa hastened clemency, hindi tinatablan niyan si GloriaAsspweron.
Sabi ni heneral asperon dapat palayain na daw ang mga dakilang siyam na nakipagdeal sa kanya dahil matagal-tagal na rin silang nakakulong. Dinig ko sa TV news ang statement niya which sounds something like this, “pinakulong ko na mga iyan, kinasuan ko na…” Well, dapat lang palayain sila kasi nasa iyo ang susi ng kulungan. Jokingly aside sana naman hanggang diyan na lang at hinidi na sila magamit pa. Nakakaawa namang gambalain pa si Kapitan Gambala. Dapat si Maestrocampo ay sa school nagmamaestro hindi sa kulongan nagpapalaki ng kuwan.
happy gilmore Says:

Noong panahon ba ni Rizal ay inisip ba niya kung sino ang makikinabang ng mga sakripisyo nya? kung sino ang mangungurakot ng pera ng bayan? HINDI!!! Nagsakripisyo sya para MAILABAS ANG KATOTOHAN.
Ganoon din ang mga natitira pang mga magdalo na nasa loob ng kulungan at ang mga witnesses na tumestigo sa mga katiwalian na mga ginagawa ng swine mafia. Nag sakripisyo sila para MAILABAS ANG KATOTOHANAN.
One thing that Filipinos can try doing is write a petition to the Australian government, particularly their legislature to deny entry to Esperon in case he runs to his reported ranch there for refuge. Puedeng gawin iyan and ng the government there will listen if there are millions of Filipinos signing the said petition. Ganyan ang nangyari doon sa Haiti president who was refused entries in countries responding to the demand and request of the Haitians so he could be tried in his own country.
Just a suggestion when the time comes for reckoning. Ganyan din ang puedeng gawin kay Gloria Dorobo, who BTW according to a friend in Pampanga is not really considered a pure Pampanguena unlike the father despite the evident trademark of a “Dugong Aso.” Kaya I doubt if she can seek refuge in Pampanga unlike the Marcoses who were loved by their fellow Ilocanos in Ilocos Norte.
xman,
si happy ay happy talaga iyan na mabusalan ang bibig ng lahat ng mga kritiko ng kanyang idol. Wala iyang pakialam sa sakripisio ng iba kung ang tingin niya ay laban ito sa interest ng tinitingala niya sa malaskanyang
Dakilang Siyam? You bet, Dakila as in Dakilang Tanga!!! 😛 That was the last movie we saw when we left the Philippines! Dakila na duwag pa—sundalong kanin nga! Sayang ang diploma from PMA! Bumaba tuloy ang rangko ng PMA! Ginawang pipitsuging eskuwelahan! Yuck!

Ang tanong eh anong klaseng civil disobedience??
Bagay na bagay ang title sa article mo, Ellen. Pathetic is what has become of the Philippines and the Filipinos.
Golly, iyong unconfirmed Secretary of InJustice, sabi OK lang daw ang pagbili niya ng kidney ng ibang tao na hindi naman niya kamag-anak at buti sana kundi commercial at donated lan! Sa Japan iyan, hinuli na iyan, and a cabinet member at that, top news iyan, at hindi iyan titigilan ng mga journalists dito hanggang sa makaisip siyang mag-suicide. Sana bawas na ng kahit isa na naman ng isa ang krimiinal ang Pilipinas, for over here buying kidneys is against the law!!! And to think na hindi pa mga kristyano ang mga tao dito!
Uurin sana ang kidney ni SiRaulo Gunggonzales, Amen!
I’m praying for Col. Querubin’s wellness more than ever. (Malayo na yung isang thread kaya dito ko isingit).
“Pathetic”, Ms Ellen, is an understatement.
If I may quote Grizzy that “Pathetic is what has become of the Philippines and the Filipinos”. Precisely because of the trash politics that has befallen the country !
Thanks God for a Few Good Men !
Hinihimok daw nang todo ng EK na mag-plead guilty na rin si Trillanes at humingi ng tawad sa pResident Bitch, and then pardon. Meron daw mga Senador na nangungulit na kay Trillanes para sundan ang ‘bumaligtad’ na siyam ex-Magdalo.
That’s really pathetic, NAGMAMAKAAWA si GloriaAsspweron kay Trillanes para mag-plead guilty!
“Many are called but only Few are chosen!”
SAYANG, the 9 ex’s have succumbed to the EVIL’S desire! Thanks to Asspweron…You’ve done it again, Devil’s Adjutant!
And to the 9 WEAKLINGS: Kiss and say GOODEBYE to your Dignities, Principles, and whatever good left on you! And say HELLO to Lies, Cheats, Corruptions, and whatever this EVIL occupant of Malakanyang would order you to do!
Ciao, Weaklings!!!
Malapit na yan si gongongzales, sa lupa. Inaagnas na ang kaluluwa nya. Nangagalingasaw na ang pagka amoy lupa nya. Kaya tingnan nyo nman ang itsura nya, halatang inuuod na yong kidney nya!!!! Napagsabihan sya tuloy ni Arcbishop Cruz na not to mind him ksi it’s not good to his health(gonggongzales).
Akala ni Gloria Dorobo at boyfriend niyang si Esperon, kakagat ang mga pinoy sa drama nila tungkol doon sa mga sundalong kanin. Neknek nila! Lumang gimmick na, wala nang kumakagat lalo na hindi nila mabili si Trillanes, et al. Ang linaw-linaw naman na may script kasi sino bang ulol ang aamin ng kasalanan na hindi naman napatunayan except by coercion, suggestion and intimidation, etc. at alam na may life sentence na parusa? Pero dahil nga sa gusto ni Gloria Pangit Dorobo na magmukhang anghel, presto, aminin tapos verdict tapos official pardon ng kapwa nila kriminal!
May naniniwala pa ba diyan? Sinong niloloko nila?
Hindi ba noong pinagaling ni Jesus Christ ang ten lepers ay isa lang ang bumalik at nagpasalamat? and Jesus asked where are the nine? ang siyam na pagkatapos na napagaling wala ng paki…di ganoon din ang siyam ng sundalo..pagkatapos na makausap sila at hinimok na yari ang deal..nakalimutan na ang mga kasama..sarili lang nila ang naalaala..
As witnessed by Cimatu himself, the Magdalo soldiers capitulated and stopped their mutiny when told and promised that their complaints would be looked into and the AFP would be fair in dealing with them. But apparently, the Idiota must have realized that when her boyfriends’ involvement in the scams in the AFP actually originate from her, she ordered them all put to jail and keep them there for as long as they become threat to her. And this, fellow bloggers (the real ones I mean), is what makes this drama of the 9 sundalong kanin obscene.
Sure, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be free and being with one’s family. I can understand that especially when you have relatives no doubt who would not want to go hungry, etc., but we all know for a fact that this moro-moro is done for the survival of the Idiota, who is the cause of it all, and nothing at all for justice to be done and to prevail. The idiota must have promised them a lot of things for their cooperation in making her look like a santa instead of the maldita that she definitely is.
I hope and pray that Senator Trillanes will hold on to the rod and gird up his loins. He need not deal with the Evil Bitch, for when he does, we know the idiota will be much more vicious and evil than ever before, and perhaps, start a real reign of terror much worse than what many had accused Marcos of during the Martial Law.
Kawawang Pilipinas! Ginawa nang babuyan talaga!
Total di na makapag rally ang mga mamamayan at wala ding ginagawa man lang na CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.
Siguro ang pinaka madali magagawa ng mga tao eh
IPAKULAM NA LANG SI TIYANAK AT SI PIDAL PIG !!

xenocryst,
Look at the more powerful Gloria than your god. She can get the freedom of heinous OFW criminals. I bet she can do something again with that child killer abroad. The arabs are nothing less than her justices and solicitors in all levels. Cant she pardon the nine cowards?
magtatanong lang po, kung me nakakaalam noong kapanahunan ni Marcos:
ilang taon po ba si Ninoy nakakulong? me mga offers ba para lumambot siya? tinanggap ba niya?
alam ko po marami din ibang ikinulong. me nakipagdeal po ba para palayain? me nakipagdeal po ba para kunyari patakasin?
kung medyo mataas po ang sagot niyo, o di kaya eh ayaw niyong sagutin dito sa ellenville… puede rin po ipadala sa: langhab{at}yahoo{dot}com.
maraming salamat po.
Lets not waste words, those nine admitted guilt of coup d’etat, a major crime especially for soldiers. Therefore, I think all those nine should be made an example and should be shot by firing squad. Lets, not forget traitor Angelo Reyes and Assperon, they deserve no less, both should also be shot. We’ll get to evil bitch Gloria at the proper time when 1 million pinoys decided enough is enough.
Speaking of Ninoy’s incarceration, there were a lot of secret deals, I know, especially with the eyes of the world on the case, but what I found nauseating as a matter of fact was the publicity on this and that brutality then. One thing I know was that in some ways, Ninoy did not suffer much depravity the way Trillanes, et al are treated now.
Truth was during a tour at the Camp Crame on the request of some concerned media from overseas, I saw Ninoy golfing with some biggies in the government wanting I guess to see their faces in foreign newspapers as human rights advocates. I was still young then and did not bother much about politics. I was there as an interpreter for some concerned Japanese advocates of freedom and democracy.
Years later, Ninoy and his family were allowed to leave for the US to seek medical help for him for he was reported to be sick. What happened next was history.
Kung grabe ang state of justice noon, mas grabe ngayon. Binastos na ng husto ang hustisya.
You bet, let’s not waste words on the 9 sundalong kanin, but it sure is worth expressing indignation over this new attempt to hoodwink Filipinos that this acquittal of the guilty (happens only in da pilipins no doubt) with executive pardon. Wow! Wala silang niloko as a matter of fact! May araw din sila as a matter of fact.
Correction, ” to hoodwink Filipinos with this acquittal of the guilty
Ok lang yun, mga ‘tol! Let the soldiers play the kind of game they need! Gusto nila maayos yung buhay nila at ng kanilang pamilya, well, by all means, let them exercise their right to play the game! GMA is the real culprit here! Di naman natin nasuportahan din ang Magdalo in their cause and GMA is still up and running, what right do we have to condemn them for their actions, at least, they had tried one for their cause, tayo ba???
Di ba ang ginawa nina maestrocampo, gambala, et al ay maihahambing din sa ginawang pagkatig ni Gringo Honasan sa administrasyon ni Gloria M Arrovo , indeed. Sayang ang sinimulan nila,pinababa nila ang kanilang pagkatao.
active retired,
‘yan nga ang nakakapanghinayang sa mga taong ‘yan.
tinitingala ng sambayanan ‘yung kanilang ipinakitang kagitingan at katapangan sa paglaban sa katiwalian subalit susuko din lamang pala sa isang HUWAD at walang karapatang mamuno sa pamahalaan.
stycch,
nasasabi mo ‘yan dahil hindi mo pinagdaanan ang dinanas ng kanilang mga dating kasamahan gayundin ang mga nagtaguyod sa kanilang ipinaglaban.
halos limang taon silang kinulong, itong huli lamang nila naisip na mali ang kanilang ginawa?
kailan ba naging mali ang pakikipaglaban upang ituwid ang mali nang sa gayon ay mangibabaw ang tama?

katwiran ng baliw at walang bayag!
bakit mo susundin ang alam mong mali? bakit ka tatalima sa mga alituntunin ng isang huwad na pamahalaang walang ginagawa kundi linlangin ang taong bayan?
pikit mata mo na lamang bang isusuko ang iyong karapatan at ipagkakatiwala sa mga kamay ng gahaman ang iyong kapalaran at kinabukasan?
Langhab,
There was never a deal with the government except for Aquino to remain at his tacit prison paradise in the US, but there was a deal with the steak commandos for him to be shot at the bulletproof vest when stowing away on his shoddy return which the CIA crew of the plane thought better and gave him the coup de grace. Note that the Taiwan security is under the US like Korea and Japan.
Off topic.
retiradong aktibo,
Tama ka dyan! Ngayon sa pahayag si Capt. Nick Faeldon, sinabi nya na nawalan sya ng respeto ky Gringo Honasan, dahil sa pagbaliktad nya. Sya ay sanib na sya sa administrasyon.. Wala sya ginawa tungkol sa mga Oakwood muniners para ipaglaban sila gayong my kinalaman nman pala daw sya sa naganap sa Oakwood. At sinabi pa ni Capt. Faeldon na ilalabas daw nya lahat yan sa natatamang panaho. Sa wakas napatunayan na buhay pa pala sya! Pero sana lang hindi sya nagsisimula na ngayon na nagsasalit dahil gusto din nyang humingi ng presidential pardon…
irene,
malayo sa personalidad ni Nick Faeldon ang mag-Hudas gaya ni Gringo.
Si Faeldon lang yata ang mahirap na taong may sariling foundation na tumutulong sa mga nangangailangan. Malalim si Faeldon, buhay na buhay ang ideyalismo.
Nakakagulat nga na nagpahayag ngayon ng masasakit na salita si Faeldon, tinawag pa niya si Gringo ng “Kuya” na mariing itinatanggi ni Honasan noon pa man.
Ang nakakahilo nito, ginamit ni Gringo ang Magdalo upang isangkalan laban sa Malakanyang. Ngayong nakuha na niya ang gusto niya, inilaglag na rin niya ang mga kawawang batang sundalo. Sandal na siya sa nasa-poder, administrasyon na siya. Paano naman yung mga sundalong ginamit niya?
Sino ngayon ang tunay na kontrabida? Ang pinagsamantalahang Magdalo o ang mapagsamantalang taga-administrasyon?
Sino ang tunay na sundalo’t senador ng bayan, si Trillanes o si Honasan?
Magno,
Ang alam kong procedure of the law, pag sentensiyado na, sa Bilibid na ikinukulong, hindi sa Camp Aguinaldo, hindi pinagpe-presscon.
Yung mga preso sa Muntinlupa, hinihintay na ang pagdating nila Gambala at Maestrecampo, mga seksi daw kaya nagkaubusan ng mantikilya sa Bilibid. Aruy ko po!
Caution: I’m not so convinced that it was Faeldon that Ces interviewed.
Hmmm. Of course, you know some things we don’t. For one, we can’t recognize his voice. Secondly, the call was too long Faeldon was taking too much risk of being located via triangulation. Maybe Atty. Trixie can share her opinion on this.
Come to think of it, it is not in Faeldon’s nature to be ratting about Gringo. At least, that’s based on the limited knowledge we have of him. It’s good you pointed this out, Ellen.
I’ll let you know as soon as I’ve verified it. But the voice is really different. Even the words. Malalim na tao si Faeldon. I really have a strong hunch it was not he speaking.
If it was not he, what’s the drama? Esperon is up to something sinister.
hi guys! pa comment din po ako ha.
nakakapanghinayang lang kasi nagtapos pa sila ng apat (4) na taong kurso ng pagiging sundalo sa Philippine Military Academy (PMA).
sayang lang yong apat na taong pananatili nila sa Academy kung sa ganyan din pala sila babagsak. sayang yong mga idealismo at tamang turo na ipinamalas sa kanila simula ng pumasok sila bilang kadete hanggang magtapos bilang tenyente.
sana magsilbing aral ito sa lahat na ang mali ay mali… pilit mo mang itama ito… mali pa din sa mata ng nasa itaas at ng tao.
yon lang po. maraming salamat at mabuhay kayong lahat.
Sa drama nabubuhay si asspweron at si evil bitch!
Agree ako dyan, JDL. Hindi talaga katangga-tanggap ang ginawa ni Gambala et al.
Can they look at their fellow officers in the eye?
When I commented that the pain for the families of these 9 Magdalos must be too much that I can not blame them if they opted to plead guilty but with all the strings attached to this drama, now I can see the angle of deception unfolding! Asspweron and the evil bitch will capitalize on this guilty plea and the pardon! Magpapalapad muna ng papel ang asspweron para sa susunod niyang pwesto.
Tama ka, Tongue, may experience na si Faeldon na mahuli. He can’t take that risk again. Hopefully, he is safe, not six feet underground as many of those fighting against this oppressive regime have become.
O humirit na naman si No-Hay-Razon. May kasalanan daw talaga si Dana sa pagtakas ni Faeldon. Ang kulit talaga. O talagang desididong itago talaga ang tunay na ginawa nila kay Faeldon?
Or worse, umaasa pa rin kasi na makakautang na naman si Utangera para ipangsuhol sa mga katulad nila ni Esperon.
Kawawang Pilipinas talaga!
Nakakapagtaka talaga.
Grizzy: May point ka nga. Baka nga me nangyari nang di maganda ke Faeldon at palabas lang nila na pa interview pa siya sa radio. Sana naman safe pa siya
ang tatapang ng mga tao dito – i hope pag nakulong din kayo katulad ng mga bumaliktad na magdalo – tingnan natin kung di din kayo hihingi ng tawad….
palibhasa malalaya kayo, may maayos na pamumuhay, kumikita ng maayos – dollar o lapad pa nga yung iba – kaya madali nyong husgahan ng masama ang mga dating magdalo….
subukan nyo kayang makulong – baka wala pang sampung oras e bumaliktad na din kayo.
Grizzy, Tinay,
Noon ko pa iniisip yan, na siguro nakuha nila si Capt. Faeldon pero kung sino-sino ang tinuturo at hanggang sa dinakip nila ang mga media. Pinag bentangan si Dana etc. para hindi mahalata na my ginawa na sila. Baka nasa poder nila si Capt. Faeldon, pakana nlang nila yan para sabihin na buhay at nangtatago cya, pero ang totoo nyan baka matagal na syang nasa hukay. Kawawang Capt. Faeldon, TUNAY NA BAYANI….
MRivera,
With all due respect, have you heard of the apartheid in Africa, where a certain African, Patrick, was accused of being one of the Freedom Fighters? He really was not a member of the Freedom Fighters but, nonetheless, he was tortured to admit and to divulge information about the Fighters. His spirit didn’t break down until his wife was abducted and tortured just the same.
Point is, we all have our threshold of pain, his was when his wife was tortured and his two kids were greatly affected! He even admitted to be a member when he was not just for the Americans to release his wife! For him, beating a woman is way, way low
Again, who’s who in the culprits’ list?
My feeling towards Gambala, Maestrocampo and campany is pity. I have no admiration for them.
My admiration is for Sen. Trillanes and company. Also Gen. Miranda , Gen. Danny Lim and company.

Obviously, you misunderstand. Anong batas ang susundin mo sa pag-process ng pardon? Sige nga. ‘yun lang naman ang punto sa statement na ‘yun. I was talking about procedures in applying for pardon.
Bugso ng damdamin ng baliw at walang bayag.
By the looks, hindi ka pa nakukulong. Congratulations. Nakakalusot ka pa sa paglaban dito sa sistemang bulok, hindi katulad naming ibang nabiktima na.
Being detained does a lot of things to you. Most of the time, you come out a changed man, and hopefully for the better.
Most of the people here talk as if they have seen everything, when most often their opinions are in blogs and not on the streets. Most likely also, only a few of us here have suffered fighting for what we believed in, taking our thoughts out in the open and being imprisoned by it, and not sharing the opinion of others and claiming it as our own. Having seen comments here just makes me see how one person copies the opinion of another until they come to a point when they believe that they, indeed, shared a common opinion and go about trash-talking whoever they want to. Take it to the streets, since most of you now here are sharing a common opinion. That way, you can really talk the talk, walk the walk. Masasabi niyo nang nakulong kayo dahil sa ipinaglalaban niyo.
Hanggang moral support lang kayo sa mga nakakulong by posting here sa blog ni Ms Ellen. Makikita ba naman ito ng mga naka-detain? Samahan niyo kaya ng pagbisita sa kanila, reach out to them. Para lalo ho ninyong maunawaan.
Tongue-Twisted,
Commenting has been turned off in the other post on the 9 Magdalo soldiers, so I wasn’t able to answer you regarding forgiveness.
No need to ask any from me, your words aren’t even enough to offend me 🙂 So don’t worry about it.
