Magdalo former Marine Capt. Gary Alejano was granted five days out of detention last week to file his certificate of candidacy for mayor of Sipalay in Negros Occidental.
Last Wednesday, another detained Magdalo officer, Navy Ltsg James Layug filed his certificate of candidacy as representtive of the seond district of Taguig.
Layug,39, is a graduate of Philippine Military Class of 1995. He served in the Philippine Navy and was assigned in several posts throughout the country. He said he joined the July 27, 2003 Oakwood incident “to air out their grievances against a corrupt, inept, and oppressive regime.”
Running as an independent, Layug enjoined everybody to practice new politics: “Sama-sama nating isulong ang Bagong Pulitika. Isang pulitika na kakatawan sa boses ng masa, ipaglalaban ang interes ng bayan, babantayan ang kalikasan at maglilingkod ng tapat sa mamamayan. Bagong pulitika na naka-angkla ang plataporma sa patriotismo, nationalismo, idealismo, at altruismo. Pulitika na hindi nakatali sa salapi bagkus ang pinapahalagahan ay ang malasakit sa kapwa,” Layug added.
Brig. Gen Danilo Lim was also allowed to leave detention for two hours last Friday to file his certificate of candidacy as an independent candidate but under the Liberal Party ticket.
Facing charges of mutiny for alleged attempt to withdraw support from Gloria Arroyo in February 2006 and Nov. 29, 2008 at the Manila Peninsula, Lim said,” I am not a fence sitter. I was never one and never will be.”
Taking off from the Maguindanao massacre, her said, the Filipino people is being massacred every day by the violence of poverty.
Last Saturday.Detained Marine Col. Ariel Querubin retired from military service. In a mass at St. Ignatius church, Querubin said he is going into politics to “restore honor and dignity of every Filipino through meaningful legislation.”
“I’m running to make my lifetime worthwhilw that every moment left of it will be dedicated in the service of country which I love very much and will continue to love unconditionally for as long as I shall live.
“I leave the service with no rancor in my heart. All was carefully planned and shaped by Destiny.
“I am glad that in leaving, I find peace with myself , my family and my God.
” I surrender my weapon before the altar of my Lord.”
“Bagong pulitika na naka-angkla ang plataporma sa patriotismo, nationalismo, idealismo, at altruismo. Pulitika na hindi nakatali sa salapi bagkus ang pinapahalagahan ay ang malasakit sa kapwa,” Layug added.”

Well, Martina…iba ang Pinoy politics, walang etiketa…ngayon magkakasama pero bukas-makalawa e kanya-kanya sila ng lipat-bakod?
Itong mga bagito na palalaot sa paglilingkod-bayan e ganyan din ang estilo ng mga japorm sa Kongreso…pero kita ng ating namumurilat na eyes e heto’t ang babata pa e sinungaling at kurap na ang mga kukote like the spiceboys.
Di ba si TOL yabang Defensor…kay bata pa e kurap na. Kailangan natin ng tunay na pagbabago…kung ang mga balimbing at hunyango e ERASE..erase…erase na sa bukabularyo ng mga kulturang Pinoy, posibleng mangyari ang kanilang iniisip na pagbabago.
Sa ngayon nga e ang tapang ng apog ng Yellow Fever & C-5 wannabees na mga oposisyon daw sila…yaks, ang bilis naman nilang makalimot e remnant sila ng EDSA DOS & Hello Garci at ngayon…uutuin ulit ang Masang Pilipino, kundi sa kanilang kagaguhan e di tayo aabot sa mga problema na ating kinakaharap sa kasalukuyan.
Kahit na pagbalibaligtarin ang kanilang loyalty e puro sila traydor at sinungaling…ang tanging oposisyon e yaong 11 milyong Pinoy na inagawan ng Malacanang + yong 10 taon henerasyon ng mga Kabataang Pinoy na entitled na to vove sa 2010.
Pero yong nakipagkutsaba kay Gloria, Cardinal Makasalanan, Yellow wannabees, C-5 lipat-bakod, civil socialites a.k.a. Elitista, Pinoy bystanders na puro reklamador sa buhay and Rightists/Leftists na gustong maglingkod-bayan pero idinadaan sa pangbabaraso kasi di sila manalo sa botohan.
Nasaan na yong survey ni Noynoy para magkabanatan uli…..
If you can’t beat them, join them! Way to go Magdalos! Bring your idealism, courage and resolve to politics!
Off topic: Ebdame is not running anymore. Wala na siyang clout sa madadayang Mindanao operators(the Ampatuans). Mahirap na siyang mandaya! Paiyak iyak pa. Pwede ba, tumigil ka na! Marami ka ng nakurakot. Magpahinga ka na!
@Balweg
Elitista are the reason why Spanish and Americans were able to occupy our land because they became traitors, tapos ngayon they messed up our society because of EDSA 2 I just hope na tumigil na sila sa panggugulo sa bayan natin dahil pinahihirapan nila lagi ang lipunan natin at lalo na ang masa.
Nakakasuka talagang isipin kung bakit tayo nagkapangulo tayo na hindi lang descendant ng mga traydor kungdi pahirap sa mga mamamayan at traydor rin tulad ng mga ninuno niya hindi siya marunong mahiya lalo lang niyang dinungisan ang pangalan ng kanyang angkan sa mga dahon ng kasaysayan.
Tingnan mo naman ang kartada nitong mga Magdalo: matipuno, may dating.

Saw his crying pic in PhilStar newspaper. Napaiyak na rin ako dahil tuwalya na ang ginamit pamunas sa daming luha.
Yellow fever wannabes. . .corny. . .lol
Bakit hindi isama yong pag file ng certificate of candidacy ni Noynoy “yellow autistic” Aquino sa thread na to? Para magkaroon tayo ng mas interesting na topic. Para mapag praktisan naman na target practice si autistic Aquino.
ang sabi ni Fr. Anthony sa May Bukas pa/ngayon ay panahon ng himala, panahon ng pagbabago…hanaqpin natin si Bru sa ating puso…
Rose, yes na yes ako diyan. Paano natin mahahanap si Bro? Intindihin lang ng lahat ang seven deadly sins, at iwasan ang mga ito, mapayapa ang buhay sa mundo. Unang una, ang pagiging ganid, greed, hello, hello …calling Gluering, alam kaya niya na deadly sin ito.

” i would rather see the philippines run like hell by filipinos, than run like heaven by the americans ”
-pres, manulel l quezon-

filipino politicians are the one destroying our country..

I hope they win, para madagdagan naman ang matitino at mabawasan ang mga demonyo sa gobyerno. I also hope that these people will not be eaten alive by the dirty system when or if they win.
Soldiers are trained to follow orders, to survive the toughest test and to lead for the welfare of the rest.
They have only their honours to offer and their lives to give.
Let these gallant men continue serving our country which they loved so much. Let us help them liberate this land from the hands of the tyrants.
God bless the Philippines!
@ ocayvalle
I think buhay pa si Eli Pamatong.
Ebdane?
Sino ‘yun?
Rose,
Si Bru ay hindi puwedeng hanapin sa ating mga puso, dahil ang bruha ay ayaw umalis sa palasyo sa tabi ng mabahong ilog.
He he he heeeh!
talaga lang ha..!!! GOD bless and save the philippines..
ang bagong balita, tatakbo na talaga sa congress si ginang arroyo bilang kinatawan ng 2nd district ng pampanga.. maski hindi ako boto kay erap.. dapat si erap ang ating mailagay sa malacanan, para matapos na ang lahat ng pangarap ni GMA at alipores niya sa mga maiitim na balak nila..!!!
Marami na ang nag-ahim ng ng kanilang papel upang lehitimong maka-panligaw sa kanilang nililiyag na botante upang nakawan ang sambayanan,dito lalabas ang walang kamatayan para sa minamahal niyang mga kababayan at sa pagbabago.Tama nagbago ang kalidad ng buhay ng mga Pilipino,ng sila ay nagkaroon ng kapangyarihan na makapagnakaw sa kaban ng bayan.Dati ang karaniwan mangagawa ay nakapagulam ng manok at baboy noong panahon ni Magsaysay at Garcia.Sa termino ni DADO AT MARCUS ay bangus ang ay pangkaraniwan ang lamang mabibili at ang bigas ay sariling ani sa ating bukirin.Ng si Madam Cory TABAKO at ay GG ang makikita sa atin hapag kainan at IMPORTED na bigas mula sa ibang bansa.Nang umupo si Erap naman ay Sardinas at imported na bigas pa rin,subalit ng pumasok sa pinto ng Malaskanyang si Dwarfy BONSAI ang nausong bilhin ay ang noodle na gawa sa dahon ng malungay at may FRESH EGG daw kuno at kailangan ang mamayan ay pumila at maka-amot sa imported NFA rice.Iyan ang pagbabagong nagawa ng mga Pulitikong may Virus ng Kleptoporaisis.
Why Col. Ariel Querubin joined NP of Money Villar? ibig bang sabihin nub he believes the integrity and the leadership of Villar and that he also believes that Villar did not do any wrongdoing in C5 issue and land grabbing?
i feel a little uncomfortable with so many ex-soldiers (Querubin, Lim etc.) running for national positions. they may be honorable men, but their military mindset may not always jive with what’s best for our democracy.
oh and xman, please stop with the autistic line. it’s getting tiresome. why don’t you honor this blog with more intelligent musings instead? your attitude belongs to PEx, not in a serious politics and current events forum like this.
they may be honorable men, but their military mindset may not always jive with what’s best for our democracy.- eestrada
Bakit naman? Maige nga at lalahok sila sa demokratikong paraan upang makapaglingkod sa bayan at maging instrumento ng pagbabagong kanilang ipinaglalaban, ah?
Hindi pa ba sapat ‘yung kanilang pagpapain ng buhay at pagsusugal ng kanilang karangalan upang labanan ang bulok na pundasyon ng sistema ng pekeng pamunuan ni gloria?
Saan ka komportable? Sa mga heneral ni gloria?
Kung sila lang naman, aba’y walang sinabi sa mga alaga kong kambing ang bayarang heneral na ‘yan!
Tingnan mo naman ang kartada nitong mga Magdalo: matipuno, may dating.- Gabriela
Gabriela, iilang tao lang naman ang walang dating sa mga PMA’ers, eh.
Pero, merong isang partikular na tao na wala ng binatbat ang hitsura ng pagkatao, wala pa ring masasabing marangal ang pagiging tao.
Bading kasi, eh!
Kilala ng lahat ‘yun. Lalo na sa kanyang kaeklayan.
Di ba, Atseng Romina?
they may be honorable men, but their military mindset may not always jive with what’s best for our democracy.- eestrada
Disagree.
There is no cut and dry “military mindset” as such. Often, the ones who have served in the military and possess a good professional military track record will defend and fight so that democracy prevails in a nation. They are the first ones to realise that conflict, military or otherwise, is not the best way forward for a nation to progress.
You will find that your so-called military mindset people are the first ones to say that war or military conflict is bad.
Obviously, a nation does have people with so-called military mindset but even then, these people are not professional military and more often than not, you find them in Africa or in the jungles of Columbia. Now, unless we liken the Philippine military to African military, then of course, all is lost.
I am an equal-opportunity advocate. If movie stars, whose only political capital are their popularity, can be allowed to serve the country, why not ex-soldiers? They have hands-on experience down to the grassroots, their personal sacrifices are like no other professionals’. They are disciplined and follow social norms. I’m talking about the junior officers.
The generals, to me are all the same. No one becomes a general based solely on meritorious performance anymore. At some point, compromises are made with classmates, politicians, appointing/approving officers, usually in exchange for money or other favors.
“Why Col. Ariel Querubin joined NP of Money Villar?” (jpax)
For those who know, it is no wonder.
“The generals, to me are all the same. No one becomes a general based solely on meritorious performance anymore. At some point, compromises are made with classmates, politicians, appointing/approving officers, usually in exchange for money or other favors.” (TT)
You are 80% correct. The 20% are either in jail or out of the loop. Damn the 80%, deal fairly with the remaining 20.
oh and xman, please stop with the autistic line. it’s getting tiresome. why don’t you honor this blog with more intelligent musings instead? your attitude belongs to PEx, not in a serious politics and current events forum like this….eestrada.
xxxxx
ekekestrada, this is the first I saw your name on this blog or maybe you are using another alias. Are you hurt when I said that Noynoy is autistic? The word autistic is a medical term and it is not like I am cursing to you, do I?
You can call Erap an AUSTISTIC man but I don’t care? Why would you care if I call Noynoy an AUTISTIC guy?
MPRivera:
No, hindi ako pabor sa mga heneral ni gloria. I’d just rather that ALL military men not dip their feet in politics.
xman:
Ang ibig ko lang iparating sayo ay gamitin natin ang discussion na to in an intelligent manner. but then again your choosing to be shallow is a right protected by our democracy. so i’m sorry for telling you to cut it out. go ahead and enjoy your freedom.
May point ka adebrux. pero until the PMA starts producing more Trillanes-es and Querubins, and less Garcias and Esperons, that will be the time I’ll be confident na hinog ang mga produkto nila for national leadership. I am a son of a PMAer, and I can tell you that more than half his class got rich through illegitimate means even while they were junior officers. One of his classmates for example ay dating bata ng comptroller nung Kapitan pa lang siya. Now, he’s a mere brigade comptroller and yet he owns three SUV’s and a plush house in Laguna. Now if only the PMA can weed out these kinds of cadets early on.
so eestrada wala kang tiwala sa tatay mo? Hehe.
yung displinang militar, di naituturo sa ibang tao yan. kaya ganito tayo, kasi wala ngang disiplina ang mga pulitiko natin.
santong yokaba,
Sino maysabing hindi naituturo ang disiplina militar?
Hindi man tuwirang ilektyur ‘yan, sa pagpapakita ng halimbawa ng isang namumunong walang halong pag-iimbot at buong katapatan ang paglilingkod sa bayan ay mahihikayat at mahahatak na maging matino ang hindi nagkakaisa at magkakaibang pananaw na mamamayan.
Nasa ating may katawan na lang kung paiiralin ang pagiging pasaway.
Sabi ko nga sa kabilang thread, ” Soldiers are trained to follow orders, to survive the toughest test and to lead for the welfare of the rest.
They have only their honours to offer and their lives to give.
Let these gallant men continue serving our country which they loved so much. Let us help them liberate this land from the hands of the tyrants.”
Kung paiiralin natin ang disiplina, hindi malayo o malabo ang pag-asa ng pagkakaisa.
Sa ating pagkakaisa, doon mabubuo ang lakas na bubuwag sa pader ng kurakutan at pagkalasing sa kapangyarihan ng iilang gahaman. Doon din uusbong ang tunay na diwa ng pagkakapantay pantay at pagkakaisa at simula upang maisulong ang mga programa para sa kaunlarang bawat isa ay makikinabang.
Ang aayaw lamang sa ganito ay ‘yung mga sakim na hindi gustong ibahagi ng kanilang magagawa at maibibigay sa kapwa at sa bayan.
tama ka manong MPR pero yung opinyon ko lang ay nakaaangat agad ang mga sundalo pagdating sa ganung aspeto dahil sa matagal na panahong ginugugol para matrain at maindoctrinate sila. kaya tingin ko the best of them would make good leaders outside of the soldiery.
