Capt. Dante Langkit is running for governor of Kalinga and former Air Force Lt. Ashley Acedillo is a candidate for representative of the first disctrict of Cebu.
Langkit is facing mutiny charges for allegedly planning to withdraw support from Gloria Arroyo together with 27 other officers in February 2006 following the expose of the “Hello Garci” tapes which revealed that Arroyo used the military to tamper the results of the 2004 elections to her favor.
Thinking that they could break Langkit’s will, his custodians put him in a solitary confinement for 10 months, the longest that an officer was subjected to such harsh condition.Langkit held firm to his convictions.
The Supreme Court decision yesterday that government employees are not considered resigned filed when they file their certificate of candidacy favors Langkit. (See Govt execs need not quit after filing of COCs)
Since his release, Acedillo has been involved with a governance reform institute – the Institute for Solidarity in Asia – where he oversaw the training on good governance for 25 local government units (LGUs).
He briefly rejoined government service in July of this year when he was designated Deputy Chief of Staff at the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). He resigned at the end of October to prepare for his candidacy.
Unveiling what he hoped would be a shared vision for the city, Acedillo hopes to push for a long-term plan to convert Cebu into the “Queen City of Southeast Asia” by 2025, built on a platform of Godliness, social justice, unity, order and discipline, entrepreneurship, and concern for the less fortunate.
He also put forward a 7-point agenda to address the concerns of his local constituency, as well as the national interest. Asked what he had to offer the residents of the city’s north district, Acedillo hopes to make available: (1) livelihood, housing, medical and other emergency assistance; (2) priority funding for free elementary, high school and technical-vocational education; (3) other priority projects for the district under the Priority Development Assistance Fund; and (4) empowerment of the barangay through the Barangay Development Council.
This, while he pursues the national interest through (1) positive and enlightened legislation, (2) advocacy for a service-oriented, transparent, accountable and trustworthy governance, and (3) the continuing fight for change and reform.
Two other Magdalo officers who are running in the 2010 elections are Navy Ltsg James Layug for representative of the 2nd district of Taguig and Marine Capt. Gary Alejano for mayor of Sipalay, Negro Occidental.
Both Layug and Alejano are still in detention in Camp Crame together with Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV.
Let’s put in the Magdalo guys in all elective positions. Tapatan ang karumal-dumal na Arroyos at tulad nila hanggang makamit ang tunay na pagbabago.
Good luck to you guys!
“hanggang makamit ang tunay na pagbabago” — chi
Amen. Pero Chi, kunyari lang yan sa ngayon pero pag sila’y manalo … wala ring pinag-iba ang mga ito. Tayo ay hanggqang asa na lang ng asa … sana itong mga taong ito na ngayon ay nasa pag-asa ng nakakarami .. sana’y panindigan nila ang kanilang pangarap na maituwid ang balu-baluktot ng pamamahala ng mga nasa kapangyarihan ngayon.
Sulbatz is back!!!!!!
I support Dante Langkit. He is one of the more decent officers I know in the service. Likewise with Layug and Acedillo. Definitely, Gen LIM is a GO for us.
Am now ready for FACTUAL discourse should anybody try to muddle issues. NO tsismis. Only facts. Verifiable facts.
Bring it on. Make my day. Just like before. hehehehe
sana lahat ng magdalos ay manalo para naman magkaroon tayo ng pag asa.
Welcome back, Sulbatz!
Sulbatz,
Tagal mong nawala. Welkam, uli.
Sa dati ka pa rin ba?
Natuloy ba ‘yung promotion ni Nognog? Sasala ang kutsara sa mangkok ng pulutan, pero hindi ang sigurado akong kasama ka rin sa mga na-promote.
Mabuhay ka!
Thanks Ate Ellen.
MPR: I lost my password. Everytime I log in, di makapasok until such time I received an emailed PW 3 days ago. Ganun pala yun kadali. Maybe it has been there for awhile kaya lang di ko napapansin kasi hindi ako computer savvy. I think it has something to do with the new format of Ate Ellen. I really don’t know. Bago ang PW ko and I can’t even memorize it. Papano ba palitan balik sa dati?
Promoted na si Nognog.
Baka naman naisulat mo sa papel na ipinampadingas ng pinag-ihawan ng tanpuluts at iba na ang iyong naitatayp na PW.
Sa halip na Gin 99 ay Beer 101.
He he he heeeh.
Welkam ule!
Best of luck to you all, gentlemen!
Gusto kong bumili nung black Tshirt na may logo ng Magdalo. Inikot ko na yata ang buong Fort Boni di ko makita yung tindahan.
