Three years ago, on this day, there were talks of restlessness in the military as more first-hand accounts of how the military was used as cheating operators in the 2004 elections were being shared by the soldiers themselves.
Eight months earlier, on June 6, 2005 then Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye revealed the existence of a taped conversation between Gloria Arroyo and then Comelec Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano about manipulating the results of the election in Muslim Mindanao to offset the huge lead posted by opposition candidate Fernando Poe Jr. in Luzon.
Gloria Arroyo apologized on TV for “talking to an election officer” which is prohibited by law. “A confessed felon,” lawyer Francisco Chavez said.
As Malacañang raised the alert in military camps and ordered a clampdown on street demonstrations, there were talks of the plan by upright military and officers and police officers to join a multisectoral rally that would be joined by church and business groups the next day in their uniform and their firearms but with the nozzles down. That was to indicate that the soldiers were there in unity with the people and not to fight and fire.
In the evening, at about 9 p.m. AFP chief Generoso Senga called for a meeting of ranking officials at his official residence in Camp Aguinaldo. Among those in the meeting were Brig. Gen. Danny Lim of the First Scout Ranger Regiment; Marine Col. Ariel Querubin. It was talked about that at least a combined force of over 1,000 Rangers and Marines would be joining the protest rally.
Also in that meeting were Maj. Gen. Renato Miranda, commandant of the Philippine Marines and Chief Superintendent Marcelino Franco. who had first-hand knowledge of Arroyo’s crime of tampering with the election results.
It was Franco’s Special Action Force, the elite unit of the Philippine National Police that undertook the switching of the genuine election returns being stored at the Batasan Pambansa building with manufactured ones allegedly upon orders of former PNP Chief Hermogenes Ebdane, who was named public works secretary.
Some 1,000 were reportedly SAF were reportedly hot on joining the protest rally.
Others in that meeting were then Army Chief Hermogenes Esperon and Vice Admiral Mateo Mayuga, FOIC, Philippine Navy; Lt. Gen. Jose Reyes, Philippine Air Force chief; and the AFP intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Rodrigo Maclang.
The plan to join the mass protest didn’t push through. Miranda, Lim, Querubin and 25 other Marine and Army officers were charged with mutiny, conduct unbecoming of an officer and gentleman and conduct to good order and military discipline.
Illegitimacy continues to haunt Arroyo’s presidency as she has blocked every attempt to uncover the truth about the cheating in the 2004 election. Those who helped her in thwarting the will of the people and the subsequent cover up have been richly rewarded. The 28 military officers continue to be in detention.
The above incidents should remind the freedom loving officers and soldiers to be more cautious next time they plan to have protest rally or join the opposition group activities. They don’t know who they’re talking and dealing with. Some they think would be on their side might turn out to be Malacanang spies. Esperon was present during the meeting (s). Yet, he turned against his comrades.
Philippine National Police officials have appointed to a top regional post a PNP officer who was linked to the alleged illegal release of 105,000 euros or P6.9 million that was seized by Russian authorities from retired police comptroller Director Eliseo de la Paz in a Moscow airport last October.
Chief Superintendent Orlando Pestaño, director of the PNP Finance Service, was designated yesterday as regional director of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR).
…..Government crooks are being promoted and assigned juicy positions instead of being prosecuted !
Esperon was there because Senga summoned him.
During that meeting, it was Esperon who opposed Lim and Querubin’s plan to be with the people.
It appears that Esperon is the savior of Gloria. He can now dictate his bogus president and has a say in policy making. The aborted memorandum of agreement on ancestral domain (MOA-AD) is one example of Esperon’s influence.
Thanks Ellen. So, it was Esperon who stopped and destroyed the plan.
Everybody knows nandaya ang tapalani. Point is bakit walang kumikilos para matanggal ang animal na iyan?
On the other hand, at least, now I can go to all the egroups I was active in without getting criticized anymore for calling the tapalani a lot of names but “President of the Philippines” because she isn’t. Like Ellen, I call her a criminal even dating back to 2001. If there is one opposing me, it must be the daughter and their staff parading in some fancy fictitious name.
Time to remove the creep. No need to wait for next year. Magkakaroon lang ang animal na iyan na oras para makaloko na naman. Before everybody knows it, baka Queen Gloria I na siya. I bet you, she’s happy-happy now that she is assured of another debt package that she can use for her publicity gimmicks and paying dole-outs to those who can help her stay in power forever, even beyond the grave!!! 😛
The number three, I understand is a very good number- On the third day Jesus rose again from the dead..the resur- rection..there are three persons in one God, there are three virtues- faith, hope and charity…Why can’t we make three a day of victory?…we can..at ano ang magagawa namin na sa malayo..to be united with you…pray tell us..
Three is my lucky number…heh,heh,heh. The year 2010 is a total of 3! I hope it will also be the lucky year of our kababayans.
Asppweron’s participation in the election cheting (w/Ebdame of course) surely got him the Cheat of Staff position, now a cabinet position. Mukhang enjoy siyang magsuot ng Armani suits! I wonder though if asspweron can sleep well at night and if he can walk around the city without bodyguards. Balita ko, he is always guarded by a minimum of six men. Wow sikat ha! I wonder if Cory Aquino even has two bodyguards. Even the tabako!
It is so easy to rally the military to go against the pandak but the truth is, pandak’s military is enjoying all the monetary perks and promotions. Halos lahat ng mga lapdogs niyang military eh naka-pwesto. One of these days, puro naka-mansiyon na ang mga ito. But the poor detained are all languishing in detention. Pinaglalaruan pa sila ng mga “dirty” workers ni pandak!
I hope these detained will discern what they are really standing for and not be used by those who may have already capitalized on their detention. I hope these detained will find strength for a few more months. Matatapos din and paghihirap nila, I hope. Sana hindi sila matulad sa mga ibang Magdalo na napaglaruan ng tadhana!
Yung bang plano ni Lim at ni Querubin eh natuloy? So ano ano ang problema ni bansot at ni asspweron?
Kahit na nagkakalat ang asspweron, ok pa rin yan kay pandak! Akala siguro ni asspweron eh kaya niyang manduhan and mga tiga-Mindanao katulad ng pagmamando niya ng kasundaluhan!
Tignan lang natin ang lakas nitong si asspweron kung wala na si pandak na nasisipsipan niya!
nabili na nga ni putot ang militar..at mukhang malakas pa rin si asspweron sa militar..to borrow the expression of grizzy..kawawang bansa!
Esperon failed as Peace Negotiator. Normally, he should have been fired but was assigned similar sensitive position. This is how this evil administration runs the government.
Off Topic:
Finally, there are two winners in the recent Lotto Jackpot. Do you know who the winners are? Husband and Wife. They are now fighting over the jackpot each one claiming he or she should own both tickets.
sino ang na nalo? ang mag asawang putot at baboy? sana magpatayan na nga sila..
Once a tin soldier, its always a tin soldier. Put them anywhere, each is still beholden to the other. Retirement is not a divide. When the top say jump, even us jump. Suwerte ang may hawak sa top.
Any update on Marine Captain Nicanor Faeldon?

Arroyo seeks reconciliation with Cory, Erap (abs/cbnnews)
ano daw?
bakit?
__
Kasi ay meron nang SOLIDARITY at nginig to death ang putang Gloria. Isa pa, alam ng puta na hindi lulusot sa madlang pipol ang kanyang forever Gloria chacha at kailangan niya si Cory at Erap na utuin ule ang kapinuyan sakaling tadtarin sya kapag tuluyang natsupi sa nakaw na pwesto.
Huwag na huwag kayong magkakamaling muli, Cory at Erap. Wala na kayong barahang itataya pa! Alalahin ninyo na sukang-suka na ang pinoy ang Gloria at ang patience ay may hangganan.
…ang pinoy KAY Gloria…
Isa pa, kaya seeking reconciliation ang puta ay para magpaganda kay Obama na siya ay ‘peace negotiator’ dahil peace-loving person si Barack and his dems. heheh.
RE …ang pinoy KAY Gloria…?
Chi naman…please wag mong gawin biro yan ha! Never in my life o sa guni-guni man e sumagi sa aking diwa si gloria, buti pa yong doggie ko na si gloria e may pakinabang. Pero yong binabanggit mo e nakakasulukasok at aalibadbaran ka tuwing pag-uusapan siya.
Bakit ka mo, ganito yon…since nang mang-agay siya ng poder ng kapangyarihan at sinegundan pa ng hello garci e talagang isusumpa mo, but being e God fearing e kasalanan ang magtanim ng sama na loob sa isang tao so tutal napag-uusapan lamang natin ito e God is alive to judge the living and the dead.
Kaya si gloria ay accountable sa lahat ng mga paghihirap ng Pinoy at pagbagsak ng moralidad ng sambayanang Filipino. Kita mo naman ng dahil sa EDSA DOS at hello garci ay nagkaletse-letse ang pamumuhay ng Pinoy at ang gobyerno naman e nagkawindang-windang sa kawalanghiyaan ng mga nagpapatakbo nito.
Isama na natin ang AFP/PNP, gusto pang magpapogi point e bokya naman sila…wag na silang humirit sapagka’t buking na sila.
Ang inaantay na lamang ng Masang Pinoy e ang 2010, at kung babalasubasin pa ni gloria and her lapdogs ang darating na pagpapasya ng taong-bayan e talagang giyera patani na ito.
…ang pinoy kay Gloria…
Balweg, malaking Oopppssie yan galing sa orig na “Alalahin ninyo na sukang-suka na ang pinoy ang Gloria at ang patience ay may hangganan.” Sori at hindi na-klaro, mahirap kasi ang nasa bundok na ang konek ay pahinto-hinto.
Oo nga ano. Yung aking koreksyon ay napaligaya ang mga kampon ng kadiliman. Hehehe!
Chi, gets ko ang pasakalye mo ha…ang pinoy kay Gloria…dugtungan ko ha “nanggagalaiti sa galit at sama ng loob sa ating presidente na isinusuka ng buong kapinuyan.
Double meaning ang nota ko kaya for sure tuliro ang kukote ng mga kurap sa ating lipunan. Akala nila e nakahirit na sila, ano hibang…NO WAY!
Isa pa, kaya seeking reconciliation ang puta ay para magpaganda kay Obama na siya ay ‘peace negotiator’ dahil peace-loving person si Barack and his dems. heheh. – chi

Gordon sila ( ngunit makapal pa rin ang Ombudsman,..grabe talaga ang pinoy, kapag naka-upo sa pwesto, kapit-tuko-higpit, Halata naman sa mga ngiti nila, at sa TINGIN, or sa MATA…)… Sana masampulan sila, kaya lang duwag ang bansot, na nag-mamalinis, eh panay putik naman, sila !..
In fairness sa mga poodle, cute sila, Magno, di gaya ni Pandak na pinaghalo-halong breed ng Pekingese, Dachshund at Pampanga Askal na may garapata sa pisngi.
