Exactly one year ago, Filipinos were glued to their TV sets watching a few, brave military officers led BGen Danilo Lim and Senator Antonio Trillanes IV take a stand against the trampling by Gloria Arroyo of our Constitution and and our democratic institutions.

Majority of the Filipinos believe Gloria Arroyo cheated in the 2004 elections. It’s a criminal act.
That “original sin” has spawned more crimes against the Filipino people: fertilizer scam, NBN/ZTE, Diwalwal/ZTE, Quedancor mess, etc. etc.
But why is Arroyo still in Malacañang”
Because we allow it.
Brig. Gen. Danny Lim’s quote on that day, rings louder today: “Dissent without action is consent.”
I was guilty.
But not anymore.
I wonder who will be joining the rally tommorrow among the bloggers here…..

Let’s go! We owe the few brave military officers big time. Huwag natin silang pabayaan ngayon.
Action without support is defeat.
All talking without action is what then??????
I may be half way around the world but my family and friends will be marching for me! My thoughts and prayers are with them.
KEVRHIMAR: I wonder who will be joining the rally tommorrow among the bloggers here…..
VERY GOOD QUESTION!!!
any takers?
I am joining one here in Baguio.
But has anybody instigated civil disobedience yet? there should already be one and in a nationwide scale. A good prelude to a successful revolution.
It seems that there are no bloggers here from metro manila….
It took the blacks in America over a hundred years to gain their independence, equal footing in the society with the other races and to finally have a president they can call their own. We also have to be patient with our movement to clean up our government of corrupt politicians.
I don’y know how to post a link but I’d like you to read the article “Fil-am spy still professes love for the filipinos” on GMAnews.tv…it’s a good read.
hero or villain? you decide…
Kevrhimar: All Talking Without Action is Blabbering.
My family is definitely going tomorrow. As they have joined yesterday’s noise barrage. And would continue to join all actions against this Pseudo-Government.
TAMA NA….SOBRA NA…
One thing is for sure, we can not always just depend on our uniformed brothers to do the work of cleaning up for us. Trillianes and the Magdalos did their share in the Oakwood Siege, Gen Lim, Gen Miranda, Col Querubin did their share in the Feb 2006 supposedly coup (what a crap!). All of them are incarcerated, except for a few who just wanted to be asspweron’s bodyguards now. Siguro naman, the civilians who are just sitting around should carry their fat asses and do something for the country for a change!
MS, please post it here in full muna. Ayusin ko na lang later.Medyo, I’m rushing lang to a meeting.
Fil-Am spy still professes love for Filipinos
CHICAGO, Illinois – Convicted Filipino-American spy Leandro Aragoncillo is almost half way in completing his ten-year term in prison but he has not lost touch with political developments in the Philippines.
In a hand-written letter to the publisher-editor of New Jersey-based weekly Filipino Express, Lito A. Gajilan Jr., that was published in its latest issue, Aragoncillo “expressed his grief over the plight of the Filipino people and the political conditions in (his native) country.
“I am deeply concerned, as most Filipinos are, that the political course the people are following is simply wrong.
“From the Philippine viewpoint, the Filipino people were made to believe that the current Philippine administration could bring changes the country badly needed.
“But after seven years of seizing power from a democratically elected president (former President Joseph Estrada) in January 2001, her (President Arroyo’s) government lost what popularity it has after being discredited by corruption and inefficiency.”
Aragoncillo, 50, who will be due for release on April 28, 2014 from Big Spring Federal Correction Institute in Texas, also talked about the need for change in the Philippines by electing a leader in 2010 that “not only understands and cares deeply about the issues besetting the country and the interests of the people, but also have the necessary conviction and willingness to invest time and political capital needed to push much-needed reforms.”
Advice to Barack Obama
A former staff in the offices of Vice Presidents Al Gore and Dick Cheney, Aragoncillo also offered a piece of advice on how the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama should deal with the Philippines: “Over the years, we believe that the great achievement of the US lay in providing the economic and political framework, and incentive for developing the Philippines’ rich resources.
“With the incoming US administration, Washington’s efforts must be aligned with the Philippines’ most pressing problems. As I believe that engagement is crucial to effect any changes in the Philippines, instead of focusing solely on large-scale grants to sustain the Philippine economic growth, Washington should focus on the root causes of the country’s continued instability. This imbalance must be redressed urgently.”
The Manila-born Aragoncillo, a former US Marine and former FBI analyst, was sentenced in July 2007 by the US District Court in New Jersey to 10 years in prison for espionage and other charges, including taking and transferring classified information to senior political and government officials of the Philippines.
His co-accused, former ranking Philippine police officer Michael Ray Aquino, was sentenced to more than six years in prison by the same court for unlawfully possessing secret US government documents.
Aquino is currently appealing his sentence and is presently detained at Federal Correction Complex in Butner, North Carolina. He is due to be released on March 19, 2011.
Prosecutors said Aragoncillo had 10 co-conspirators and four unindicted co-conspirators. Among them are former President Estrada, former Philippine House Speaker Arnulfo Fuentebella and Sen. Panfilo Lacson.
Remorse
In his letter, Aragoncillo also expressed remorse for spying against the United States to satisfy his anti-Arroyo contacts in the Philippines, by saying, “I would like to let you know that I have accepted my culpability and continue to show great remorse for my offenses, actions and mistakes.
“I still struggle to find peace in my heart, as the mistakes I have committed brought my family pain and undue sacrifices. My deep affection, compassion for the plight of the poor Filipinos, as well as my ideology, has robbed my family the opportunity to enjoy a normal family life.”
In an editorial, the Express, blamed Mr. Aragoncillo for allowing himself “to be used by politicians in the Philippines. He could have done so much for the Filipino people given his high stature in the US government.”
The editorial added, “He did not need the help of the Philippine opposition to make a difference. He did not need to spy on the US government to sooth the stomach aches of hungry Filipinos. He did not need to resort to illegal ways to prove his ideals and love for his home country. Yet, he did, and now he is paying for it.” – GMANews.TV
so there…
Maam Ellen, I hope I did it right…
an american villain but definitely a filipino hero…
and the price you have to pay to become one.
I salute you, Mr. Aragoncillo!!!
The success of tomorrow’s action depends on our will to sustain it until the next day.
Rather than going home when twilight creeps in, extending the action for at least 12 more hours, in the hope that the studentry will come pouring in on Monday might make a difference.
12 more hours after twilight – maybe that’s what it will take to defeat apathy, and encourage people to question why are we doing it? It it only for ourselves? Or is it something more profound? And maybe, just maybe, they will come.
12 more hours after twilight – maybe that’s what it will take to bring down this Ruthless Regime.
12 more hours after twilight – maybe that’s what it will take to bring forth the Change we wish for.
12 more hours after twilight – maybe that’s what it will take to bring forth the a better country for your child and mine.
12 more hours. Is it too high a price for freedom? Freedom from having to leave a family just to keep the same intact? Freedom from the ills of misgovernance?
12 more hours.
I agree.
Politicians volunteered to become our Servants yet we serve them as our Masters.
Off topic:
Do you know that the former Assistant Agriculture Secretary Ibarra Poliquit is nothing but a holder of a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education from the University of the Philippines? Now, that’s an “Assistant Agriculture Secretary” people!!!
He said that after resigning from the Department of Agriculture (DA) in the aftermath of the controversial fund mess, he joined the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) as its vice president in December 2005.
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20081129-175052/Bolantes-ex-agri-aide-PE-graduate
A Physical Education bachelor’s degree became an Assistant Agriculture Secretary and the a Vice-President of GSIS holding the country’s pension fund?!
Reyna Elena,
Usong-uso kasi ngayon ang hypertension. Kaya kailangan ang exercise para matunaw ang taba at mabawasan o mawala ng tuluyan ang cholesterol. Ang problema, ibang cholesterol ang inaatupag nila.
Well, as a PE degree holder he is definitely good in juggling pension funds.
Poliquit must be another appointee of the fat man!
I hate to play as a spoiler but the truth is very few people wants to join rallies or mass actions voluntarily and without pay. The exception maybe was the EDSA 3 after Erap left the palace. It all started at EDSA 1 followed by EDSA 2 where organizers “hakot” people from the poor areas of the city. These people are paid 200 to 500 pesos with free foods courtesy of business people who happened to hate those who are in power. Nobody can blame them because a few hundreds and free food is a already big help for them never mind putting themselves in a dangerous situation. Yes because it’s always these poor and unwashed who provides the warm bodies and who manned the frontlines in every mass action. If ever, it’s very seldom or never that those supposed leaders, organizers, the perfumed civil society were seen in where the action is. And thereafter these poor people not only given any credit but are forgotten until come election time and some mass actions where there warm bodies are needed again.
Gloria is still there where she should not be. Well she did all the right things and pressed all the right buttons to remain in power; while the oppositions did all the wrong moves to let her stay. The oppositions were never united, thanks to the mastery of Gloria in dividing them. And the biggest culprit of them all is Lacson, the spoiler of the 2004 elections.
With this corrupt government people wanted some changes but still with some strings attached. With that note, we can say that the people justly deserved what they got because of their inaction. They have to live with that.
FYI, PhysEd (as a former female teacher prefers to call it bacause she says PE may also refer to Premature Ejaculation) may be an “unsophisticated” course in UP’s SPEAR (School of Phys Ed. And Recreation) but definitely not as easy as some may think. It serves mainly as a school designed to accommodate varsity athletes with their conflicting practice, competion, and academic schedules as well as for future PhysEd teachers who seek superior credentials in teaching PhysEd.
But I fully agree, even such credentials do not count in a technically-demanding department such as the DA, moreso, in the GSIS. In this government,it seemsthe best credentialin one’s resumé is that small sidenote which says: “Dear Sec., this guy is FG’s protegé.”
florry, sorry I beg to disagree, it was not Lacson’s fault that the opposition lost in 2004. Ever heard of “Hello Garci”? It was Lacson who was a legitimate protagonist until Angara and Sotto, and “blessed” later by Erap to draft his compadre, whom we now know better that their compelling selfish interests would make them serve in the evil bitch’s court.
It was moronic that Estrada had pushed FPJ to his death when he could have supported Lacson and it would be the end of Gloria. He was stupid for allowing Angara to run the campaign when it was the same bastard who provided his diary to Erap’s enemies to unseat him.
If there were any spoilers in the 2004 polls, these were Angara, Sotto, Honasan, and Erap himself who manipulated FPJ’s gullibility and underestimated Lacson’s winnability, as well as his network of Police officers all over the country who could have guarded the ballots of their former Chief.
Which brings us to the topic, “Dissent without action is consent”. Between, Angara, Sotto, Honasan, Erap and Lacson, who are giving their consent to the schemes and scams of Gloria? Who is consistently dissenting against the bitch and her minions?
The Manila Penn incident was a classic case of “pagbubuyo” ng mga grupo sa ating mga magigiting na sundalo. But the promised civilian support never came. Gen Lim and Sen Trillianes were tricked. This is why, if the Filipinos still have this most hated illegal president, kasalanan din ng mga tao kung bakit nandiyan pa rin sa pwesto yang magnanakaw at sinungaling na yan.
I agree, Tongue. Furthermore, INC initially wanted to support Lacson until FPJ came along. Manalo was torn between two good guys, two true opposition. Manalo then gave the two an ultimatum to decide who should be Pres. and Vice. Otherwise, Manalo would support GMA. The threat was to compel the two to unite in one ticket. Because they did not agree, Manalo had no choice but to make good his threat or else his name and the church’s image would be jeopardized. People could argue and say that INC’s votes did not count so much. Gloria cheated just the same. However, it’s safe to say that at least 80% of the INC registered voters obeyed Manalo. So, if there were one million INC members who voted, 800,000 votes did somehow contribute to the Bitch.
It is obvious that the House intends to pursue Charter Change by converting itself to a Con Ass.
Will the people wake up from their deep slumber and oppose the railroading of charter-change?
Tongue, BE
There’s no question that FPJ’s chances to win the presidency was more likely than Lacson. In fact you and me and everybody knew that he won the presidency but was cheated by Gloria. Gloria was able to cheat FPJ because the opposition vote was divided between them and not even a hundred Garci can “doctor” the result if the margin is big enough to manipulate. It was even rumored that he was paid to stay on. If he really wanted Gloria out of the palace at any cost and considered himself as a good opposition and for unity’s sake he should have sacrificed for the mean time and gave way to FPJ who between them had the better chance, but Lacson obviously didn’t have the word “sacrifice” in his vocabulary. It’s just like if I don’t go up, you don’t go up too; and if I’ll go down, you go down with me attitude.
Masyado kasing mapagtiwala si Erap, kaya pati si Angara, na patibong ni GMA, ay nagawang paghati hatiin ang opposition nuong 2004. Kung ako lang, wag na si Erap ibotong Presidente, kung sakaling tatakbo siya. Baka pati mga Pidals patawarin niya. Nakupo, ang importante ang makapatas-bawi ang mga pinoys sa mga iyon.
Can we have an American for a hero?
Kaninang umaga, sa kahabaan ng Kamias Road, may nakita akong mga mobile patrol vehicle na may sakay na anti-riot police patola. Ano meron ngayon? At mukhang napaaga ang pagpunta nila sa kung saan merong mga rally?
Masakit tanggapin ang katotohan,subalit kung ating lamang susuriin ang lahat saan nag-simula ang lahat,sa ating mga sarili,ang kulang sa pag-“makabayan”{with the respect on others who put their life on line},madaling paglalangan sa matamis na salita at utuin,mahirap at baguhin ang ating kultura at kaugalian “PILIPINO”.Ang EDSA2 ay isang bato na ating dinampot upang ipukpok sa ating ulo,ang mga nakaaran halalan 2004 at 2007 ay isa na namang napakalaking at mabigat na’MASO’upang lahat ay dagukan.Saan na rin nanggaling ang pagpatay ng impeachment di ba sa atin na rin,kung atin ginamit lamang ang pagka “Makabayan”,di sana lalawig pa ang kabuktutan,dahil marami ang hangal na mamayan at inihalal pa rin ang mga UNGOY,na silang kumitil sa karapatan.Sa kakaunting barya inihulog,sa ating bulsa na nagmula sa pag-nanakaw sa kaban ng bayan.Ngayo’y di pa isinisilang na mamayan ay namimighati na,dahil ang kanilang ang mga magulang nila ang may-sala dahil sa ugaling ‘Maka-BAYAD”na PILIPINO
Sayang iyong martsa nina Sen. Trillanes noong isang taon. Handa na sana kaming sumama pero hindi naman natuloy. Pero ipinagpatuloy namin with the help of the Burmese in December last year. Iyong mga pilipino, naniniguro pa kasi. Gusto nila luto na bago sila kakain!!! 🙁
Kaya ang nangyayari palagi, parang lutong makaw! Alam na alam ni Gloria Dorobo ang ugali ng mga kababayan niya, pati na iyong pagkahilig sa laga!!! Saklap talaga!
Iyong martsa, kailan ba talaga? Iyong mga sigurista dito naghihintay ng go-signal.
My family will definitely be there to join the bishops and those concerned citizens.
Argoncillo should be thank for his sacrifices as well. Although a U.S. citizen, he still has the care about the Philippines. Patriotism shouldn’t just be about citizenship because that’s only on paper. What’s important is if you have the love for one’s country…
Isang taon na ang Manila Pen incident where the few brave soldiers risked their lives to free Pinas from the clutches of the fake president, and here we are worse than a year ago all because we left Gen. Lim and fellow Magdalos in the dark. We are so pathetic as a whole.
Never Again!
Does anybody here know the main team of the March? Who’s calling and will be leading the march? Where it’ll be held? What time everyone are expected to be at the site(s)? How organize is this March or is it another last minute thought out? To battle with the wh*re, one must be well prepared, if the intent is to battle with the wh*re, less is a waste?
There’s ugly w h o r e and pretty w h o r e. Which one best describes Arroyo and Palin?
obama looks like a pretty whore 🙂
No…Obama looks like a Black Angel. McCain a White Devil.
black angel my ass
Of course Black Angel has Black Ass like yours.
Compared to Gloria indeed Obama is an angel. kahit na ang sabi si McCain is a white devil..compared to Gloria he still is an angel…and si Mike Arroyo?..San Miguel marka demonyo.. it is a matter of opinion..sabi nga ni Garcia Gloria is like Jesus Christ…kailang kaya siya paipako..let us not wait for Holy Week para ipako siya sa Pampanga..sana bukas pag gising ko wala na siya…
Ellen: andam ka gid…I know you will be there..my prayers for you and all the marchers…
BE, as it is shaping up, Obama is a CLINTON Angel. He is pretty much picking all the Clinton proteges. But I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt. Too early to tell how effective of a president he will be. I will give him two years to prove himself.
I watched the news and the police arrested 47 rallyists on their way to Manila Penn to mark the anniversary of the Manila Penn Walk. The anti-riot police blocked the streets. Wala daw permit ang mga nag-rally. Why did they not secure one? Mayor Binay would have given them one. Huwag kayong mag-short cut. Do it the right way para there will not be any reason for not allowinbg you to rally.
Obama picked most of the Clinton guys because they were competent and successful during the Clinton Administration. Economy was great during Clinton’s time. And that’s what Obama badly needs at this time. Economy is the top priority. But of course it’s also some kind of pay back to the Clintons who campaign heavily for him during the last stage of the campaign. I’m more concerned with his Chief of Staff pick…Emmanuel. Emmanuel is a Jew with strong ties to Israel. This doesn’t look good to the Arabs who supported Obama’s candidacy. Without offense to the Jews, they have long been controlling the world’s economy and politics.
Do you know why rallies these days don’t succeed? Because Malacanang police and soldiers are already waiting for the rallyists hours and even days before the announced rally. This was not the case during Erap’s time. Erap allowed the people to protest freely in the streets. We have not heard of anyone arrested or jailed at the height of Erap’s ouster. Gloria learned this mistake. She now makes sure it will not happen.
I’d assumed that no one really know much about the March, a photo-op session, I suppose?
How much the march? Is there a price on march? You must be thinking about Planet March.
Remember Martina…more than 11 million Pinoys ang sinabihan mo na walang K si Erap in layman’s word? Kaya di tumino at matuto ang Pinoy kasi wala sila mababang KALOOBAN tulad ni Erap, sige nga…di ba ang problema nating kinakaharap eh ng dahil sa mga Pinoy na nagluklok kay Gloria.
Kung iisa-isahin natin kung sino sila eh baka kasama ka rin sa nagluklok kay GMA…is that true? If not…very good dahil di ka accountable sa mga sufferings na kinakaharap natin sa ngayon since Gloria’s darkest days!
Di ba majority ng mga nagtraydor kay Erap ay nag “I am SORRY na, except Tabako, Gloria, Chavit and her cohorts na nagmamanipula ng Malacanang.
Kaya wag nating sisihin si Erap kundi yaong mga Pinoy na nagluklok kay Gloria na isinusuka ng mga pinagpipitaganang kababayan at may bait sa sarili.
Sorry na lang sa mga kinauukulan na ginusto pa si Gloria kaysa kay Erap, sige…kita nýo ang KARMA, grabe ang sakit nito dahil lahat na ata ng problem ng bansa eh inako na ni pandak.
Pero gusto pang humirit at ma extend ang kanyang termino, kita nýo na masyadong gahaman at sugapa sa kapangyarihan.
BE,
I’m thinking about the graduation of all kids this coming March! Off topic…joke joke lang para ma refresh naman kasi nakapag-iinit ng punong tenga kapag si GMA ang pinag-uusapan. Walang ka gloria gloria puro pasakit at malas sa buhay kung ito ang lagi mong almusal, tanghalian at hapunan…paano na kung sasamahan mo pa ng mirienda.
Korek Toney Cuevas…mas gugustuhin pa ng maraming Pinoy ang manuod ng TV, magpekwa, magmajong, malasing at iba pa?
Pero look at them, puro reklamo sa buhay…pero ayaw namang makiisa sa labang ito? Yan ang Pinoy, gusto parati eh isusubo mo sa kanilang bibig ang pagkain…wala namang paki at dedma lang sa mga nangyayari sa kanilang kapaligiran.
Buti pa eh yong willing na tumulong at sumuporta ang anyayanan upang wag masayang ang laway sa pagkumbinsi sa protestang binabalak sa darating na mga araw.
We’ve long acknowledged that Erap is no saint. Why do people keep on looking at his weaknesses? If taking jueteng money to help the Muslim Youth Foundation and other pro-poor porjects was a crime, then be it. If being a drinker and womanizer is a human weakness, then let it be. The question is why did people elected him for so many years as a Mayor up to Senator, Vice President and President despite his vices? What I don’t like about Erap is his too forgiving attitude. He has practically forgiven all who conspired in his ouster. Then now, he’s even considering of forgiving Chavit Singson. WHAT?
Golberg,
Ke pulis-patola o militar e mga Pinoy din sila na kailangang damhin ang hinaing ng sambayanang Pinoy di ba, isa sila sa sektor ng lipunan na kailangan tumulong at sumuporta upang magtagumpay tayo sa labang ito…upang supilin ang naghaharing-uri sa ating bayan.
Ang kaso mas ginusto pa nilang suportahan ang rehimeng Arroyo sa halip na ang taong-bayan, so may pamilya din sila na apektado ng kawalang direksyong pamumuno ni GMA.
Pag ganyan ang kanilang pananaw sa buhay e pare-pareho na tayong magtiis at bawal ang magreklamo, ang maykarapatan lamang eh yong mga kotra o ayaw kay GMA?
Simple lang di ba!
balweg: Maraming salamat!
WHAT? A nice question BE? Magtatagumpay tayong lahat kung matututo tayong lahat na magpatawad sa mga tao na nakagawa ng kasalanan sa ating buhay.
Forgiveness first, before pagpapala…yan ang essence ng pagiging isang TUNAY na ANAK ng DIOS! Ang malinis na puso ang ating puhunan upang magtagumpay sa lahat ng adhikain sa buhay except kung ipahintulot ng Dios na dumaan tayo sa anumang pagsubok sa buhay.
Di ba halos lahat ng mga naging banal at santo eh dumaan sa makamundong buhay except The Lord.
Toney Cuevas,
Welcome! Marami sa ating mga kababayang Pinoy e di alam ang tunay na history ng ating bansa, kaya wala silang pagmamahal sa bayan at kapwa-Pinoy?
Kaya masakit sa aking kalooban but i need to accept the reality and truth bakit nangyayari ito sa ating bayan…mula ng ako ay nagkaisip at dumating sa edad na ito eh i tried my very best to be a good citizen and God fearing Pinoy, so that’s why i challenge anybody whoever under estimate our broken-hearted and less fortunate Kababayang Pinoys?
I have only a simple life and i’m still keeping it purely, so i can stand in their face with honor and dignity. Kaya i’m proud to be a Filipino kahit na maraming kalbaryo o masasakit na pananalita ang ipinupukol sa ating lahing Pinoy.
Hangga’t mayroong isang naninindigan para sa ating bayan eh tuloy ang laban para sa katotohanan. Galit ako sa taong mapang-api at mapanghusga sa kapwa-tao, but my anger is only according to the Lord’s standard.
I can not forgive the bitch for what she has done to my beloved country and people. Magkumpisal muna siya ng buong katotohanan at harapin ang parusa.
Forgiveness without justice in Gloria’s case is a plain hypocrisy. Justice first before forgiveness.
I agree with you Chi, syiempre kailangan ng hustisya after that forgivess…kailangan pagbayaran ni GMA ang lahat ng kanyang mga kasalanan sa ating bayan at pagkatapos nito eh magsisi siya ng kanyang mga ginawang pang-aapi sa taong- bayan.
Tayo naman eh handang magpatawad, basta sincere ang sinuman…at magpapaka-tao na sila.
Balweg, why did Toney thank you? What for? You have not terminated the Evil Bitch yet.
Mga kasama, tama na muna ang asaran. Halina kayo sa Monumento at tayo ay manindigan. Ako nga galing pa sa America pero nandirito ako ngayon para sumama sa pakikipaglaban. O ano, maaasahan ba naman kayo?
You came from America just to join the rally? Come on. Anyway, good to hear that.
“Dissent without action is consent”
Actions don’t have to be localised, eg, Manila — can be done abroad too by Filipinos living abroad.
Voltaire said, “One must be prudent, but need not be timid.”
Will see what’s being done this end. But I have an idea and am mulling the idea of bashing Gloria in a “public forum” but have got to think about the hosts, the ones who have issued the invitation. You see, I was thinking of accepting, for the first time ever, an all Filipino community Xmas party where I’m based and I’ve been tasked with making a contribution to the raffle… I was thinking of asking them if I could speak and if I’m given the mic, then I will just make short rant.
Seriously thinking of doing this even if I make an ass of myself (shit, what do I care!) because I know that most of the Filipino labouring people here are pro-Gloria (or at least that’s what I’ve been told.)
We’ll see.
We shall see…
Yes, Bitchevil, natapat lang na I’m back in Manila when this event is happening again. I’ve been in this similar situations before but looks to me our kababayans have been hopeless na sa mga ganitong pamamaraan. Sana magsamasama tayo ngayon para mapalayas na itong evil bitch na ito at pati mga kampon niya.
gusa77: Ngayo’y di pa isinisilang na mamayan ay namimighati na,dahil ang kanilang ang mga magulang nila ang may-sala dahil sa ugaling ‘Maka-BAYAD”na PILIPINO
*****
Korekek ka dito, gusa77. Nakahiligan ng maraming pilipino ang lagay. Kahit nga sa mga protesta namin dito sa Japan, lagas ang bulsa ko pag tinitipon namin sila sa pagpapakain, etc. Hindi ko sila nilalagyan ng pera, pero boy, ubos ang budget ko sa pagpapakain, pagbii ng mga papel, etc. sa paggawa ng placard. Walang nang-aambag o magkusa man lang magbigay kahit na iyong barya-barya nila. Pero pag alam nilang lalakas sila sa Philippine Embassy mabilis pang magbigay doon daw sa pakulo ni Gloria Dorobo na “Eskuwelahan ni Gloria.” Hindi kasi ako sumasali doon pero kung nandoon ako, hihingi ako ng complete accounting ng perang nailagak na sa magnanakaw na iyan. Buti na lang hindi sila umubra noon nang i-announce pa ni Dorobo na gagawin niyang ambassador for the OFW si ImFatso. Nawili doon sa mga contributions at donations ng mga sipsip na OFW. Pero pag sa mga panukalang gaya ng mga protesta laban sa pagnanakaw ng mga Dorobo, ang dami nilang katwiran. Self interest pa rin ang iniisip.
Sa totoo lang, iyan ang hinaing ni Rizal na isinulat niya sa kaniyang nobela kaya iyong rebolusyon sa nobela niya hindi nagtagumpay. Kawawang bansa! Pero hindi iyan sapat na dahilan para mawalan tayo ng pag-asa. Hangga’t may katulad nina BGen. Lim at Senator Trillanes, tuloy pa rin ang laban!
ang laban na to ay di magtatagumpay sa pamamagitan ng daldalan.. kailangan kumilos at wag puro daldal lamang….
Daldalan lang ba ito? I doubt! Ito ay hindi daldalan kundi pagpapasiklab ng damdaming makabayan ng mga pilipino kung may natitira pa silang malasakit sa kanilang bayan at kababayan!
Ikaw, kevrhimar, handa ka na bang ibuwis ang buhay mo para sa niyuyurakang dangal at karapatan ng mga pilipino? At least, ako kilala ko kung sino ang mga kasama ko!
Do not underestimate the power of “daldal”. Everyone you see, you should daldal against the evil bitch! This way, the effects would be exponential!
Sige, daldal pa! Alam natin na dito sa Ellenville kumukuha ng pulso ng bayan si Gloria impakta!
I suggest each of us follow whats in our hearts, no need to have a pissing contest on whos more patriotic than who.
Just do it
All our hearts call for the blood of the Evil Bitch !
I second the motion.
Indeed.
I third the motion.
kevrhimar,
Power of cydaldalan is very powerful if all concerned individuals have common goals and we understand each other point of views.
We need first to settle our differences and to write-down our main agenda before to move on, in such case we are all prepared to face any consequences and obstacle during our mobilization to fight the evil bitch and her minions.
Right now, ang masang Pinoy e still divided and they have owned agenda to pursue and we cannot meet our objectives if we are not aware or serious in our cause.
This cydaldalan has nothing wrong to do if we will pursue our open minded pont of views, comments, suggestions, recommendations etc. etc.
Let’s be fair and accept the reality that we are all looking and searching the best solutions in our political standoff against the evil bitch.
The ball is now in our hands so we need to be carefull on how and when we will kick-out the ass of the evil bitch?
Be patient, the roaring lion is ready to devour us if we all not carefull dealing with them. EDSA II, Oakwood and Manila Pen ano ang nangyari? Di ba pinulut lahat sa kangkungan!
BE,
The table NOW is close! Let’s move on…
You should 4th the motion, balweg.
Ikaw ba grizzy handa na magbuwis ng iyong buhay?.. Hindi ko sinasabing hindi tama ang daldalan ng daldalan.. ang point ko.. sana habang dumadalal umaaksyon din. para di tulad ng isang bala na pumutok na wala nang pulbura.
Kevrhimar:
Mahirap nang magyabang sa totoo lang. Hindi lang buhay ang binubuwis ko sa ginagawa ko, pati na reputation ko! Itanong mo sa mga kasama ko. Maski si Gloria Dorobo, I bet you kilala ako!
Ikaw, nalagay ka na ba sa blacklist dahil sa pakikipaglaban mo para sa bayang hindi mo naman bayan pero mahal mo dahil doon ka ipinanganak?
Salita ng mga tuta ni Gloria Dorobo iyong patutsada mo sa totoo lang. We are here in fact to discuss how we can kick the criminal out of the palace by the murky river. Kung makakatulong para sa adhikain ito, so what kung daldal lang? Nakakasiklab din iyan ng damdamin sa totoo lang.
Tama ka, Balweg. Sa mga ganitong movement, kailangan ang careful planning at ingat. In short, mahirap talagang magtiwala, di bale sana kung katulad dito na hindi marami ang gustong maging lider at gusto lang maging tagasunod. Sa Pilipinas ang problema, lahat gustong magpapel. Iyan ang sakit ng mga pilipino na nakakasira na kahit na anong movement sa bansa nila. Nagwawatak-watak dahil lahat gustong maging sikat! Pambihira ang mga matatapang na tunay na gaya ni Senator Trillanes at BGen. Lim.
In a way, tama rin siguro si Kevrhimar, puro tsatsat wala naman sa gawa. Nasa tao na iyon sa totoo lang. Pero ang masama sa patutsada niya, imbes na sasama ang mga gustong sumama, mabubuwisit dahil hindi pa man, pinatutsadahan na!
Ok lang ang sinabi ni Kevrhimar, marami naman talagang hanggang salita lang. Pero sa Ellenville ay “walk the talk” ang nakararami. Hindi na kailangang ipagsabi.
grizzy,
I’m proud of you…although we did not see each other, but true our www super highway communication…ang bilis ng ating ugnayan di ba.
Your courageous character and nationalistic love to our country is a good example to those who betrayed our constitution and beloved mother land.
This is my life and loyalty to our country and people but NOT to the evil bitch and her minions.
