Jose Torres Jr., spokesperson and director of the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines, said: “The Arroyo government may argue until it is blue in the face that a culture of impunity does not exist in the country.”Torres said Arroyo should tell that to the family of Palawan broadcaster Fernando “Dong” Batul, murdered the other day while he was on his way to anchor his program on DYPR in Puerto Princesa.
“Also to the families of Albert Orsolino, gunned down in Caloocan City on May 16, Iring Maranan, mauled just hours after Orsolino’s murder by San Pablo City, Laguna councilor Edgardo Adajar in full view of 100 people, including other journalists, and our 40 other colleagues who have lost their lives in the five years since President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo came to power,” Torres said.
Arroyo and her apologists should also tell that to the family of Annaliza Abanador, who was shot dead in the gift shop where she worked as cashier in Balanga, Bataan last Thursday afternoon. Abanador was a leader of the Kilusan para sa Pambansang Demokrasya, which government authorities classify as “leftist.”The gunmen who escaped in motorcycles made sure she was dead by pumping bullets into different parts of her body at least 9 times.Abanador was the 10th member of left-leaning organizations to be killed in two weeks, Bayan Muna party-list group said. The human rights advocacy group, Karapatan, said at least 585 political killings have occurred since Gloria Arroyo took power without an election in 2001.
At the Bulung-Pulungan sa Westin Philippine Plaza yesterday, Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno could only say, “We are saddened by the frequencies of these incidents.”
Describing the murders as “incidents” is downplaying the condemnable crimes. Puno said they are investigating the “incidents” but at the same time he discounted allegations that it is being encouraged by the government. He repeated the “floats” about a continuing purge between rival leftist groups.
Luis Jalandoni, chairman of the negotiating panel of the National Democratic Front, said the “purge” angle is a lie. “The government’s false allegation of a purge within the revolutionary movement is meant to further justify more extrajudicial killings.”
Puno said the PNP’s record in resolving murder cases involving journalists is “good” which he admitted he cannot say of the “political killings”, the term used for the murders of leftists.
But Torres has different statistics from the PNP. He said: “Indeed, the Philippine National Police itself has acknowledged that, of the 79 killings of journalists since the so-called democratic restoration of 1986, only five cases have been resolved by the courts.”
Torres stressed: “While the killers in these cases may have been convicted, not a single mastermind has ever been brought to justice. Not to mention the fact that, in many cases, the killings may be traced to agents of state security.”
It is easy to see how a “culture of impunity” has permeated to all levels of society under Arroyo. If you have a president who came to power by violating the law and who has no qualms about violating the law just to remain in power, what is the incentive to the ordinary people to follow the law? Why would lawless elements be afraid?
Torres put the responsibility for the murders on Arroyo’s doorstep. “We hold President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and her administration accountable for the murders of our colleagues under her watch and the increasingly brazen manner in which they have been killed.
“For not only has this administration’s inaction emboldened those who would impose on us the ultimate form of censorship – death – it has actually attempted to muzzle the independent Philippine press.
“In its obsession with national security and its own survival, this administration has failed to protect the lives and respect the rights of the Filipino people, journalists included, and consequently failed to defend democracy.
“To our legitimate demands for justice and security, what we get are empty promises, inutile task forces, and fatuous claims by the likes of national security adviser Norberto Gonzales that ‘forces out to destabilize’ the government are behind our colleagues’ deaths and those of hundreds of activists.
“We reject and condemn such facile attempts to trivialize our colleagues’ deaths and make them another pawn in the political games this government plays.”
Reckoning by the statistics, the journalist and ‘leftwing destabilizers’ are dropping dead like flies – dispensable elements that deserve NO justice. For every death, I can see the spectre of Gloria gloating over the bullet riddled bodies, just like that photo-op showing Gloria smiling with glee over the nude body of that muslim, riddled with bullets, killed by the cops in cavite .And she was called ‘the iron lady’.
Alitaptap,
Beg to disgress on the Gloria tag there – she ain’t an iron lady, she is Gloria the iron harlot.
test. i have problems posting comments. weird.
E-mail from Mac Balakit:
I am an avid reader of your column and the rest of the opinion writers of Malaya, and to tell you the truth, I am very much impressed of your
writing about the truth concerning the past election.
If GMA or any of her subordinates ever read your editorial, they could have sued you for libel or what not, but they did’t, simply because you may be telling the truth.Or
probably, they do not bother to read your column.
I can’t say that they don’t understand English because some of them are topnotchers in the bar or have either PHD or Masters on their respective fileds, so they must know
better.
However, there is one problem that I have just read about English proficiency among college graduates in the Phillipines.It was stated that 75% of them is English deficient.If 75% of college graduates are deficient
in English how many do you think is the number among high school graduates?
So, my guess is this; you are telling the truth to a lesser number of people because they do not understand your writing or for any other reason not very well taught in school or homes.On the other hand, if they do
understand about the truth, why do they not do something to right the wrong?
Just asking.
24 May 2006,
Ms. Ellen, According to to Mr. Mac Balakit, “a lesser number of people understand your writing, I beg to disagree, there two kinds of people:
1. People who tend NOT to understand what they feel, and
2. People who just dont mind what is happening around them and they just go about on their ususal lives.
If people really want to understand what they are reading, they will find a way to understand it, problem is, if “the ignroance gets the better of it”.
Statistics is statistics, in other countries, people ar not not good in english, but they understand what they are reading. To those with PHDs and masteral degrees, I pity them for they are ones who will suffer the most, for they dont want to understand what is happening.
To quote:
“We cannot but be astonished at the ease with which men resign themselves to ignorance about what is most important for them to know; and we may be certain that they are determined to remain invincibly ignorant if they once come to consider it as axiomatic that there are no absolute principles”.

My condolence to the families of the victims of these atrocities committed by those who are supposed to be their protectors not their murderers and tormentor, and I mean the members of the police and military pledging allegiance to the Malacanang Squatter whom they should be kicking out of the palace by the murky river.
Ingat ka rin Ellen. Frankly, I have been told by Filipinos to be careful that I don’t fall victim to these assassins for my strong criticisms against the present regime. I retort by telling them that I am in Japan, not in the Philippines.
I tell them that over here the police are not beholden to any official of the Japanese government, especially the elected politicians who are labelled as “public servants” and act as one unlike in the Philippines, where a criminal is allowed to overstay in the palace by the murky river and use public funds as if it is hers and hers alone to dispose of like a queen even in bribing those who are supposed to keep peace and order for the people not the crook who is the cause of all the miseries and woes of the Filipino people presently.
Besides, over here, no one, not even off or on duty police, is allowed to carry and brandish deadly weapons. Also, I have enough Judo practice to be able to protect myself as a matter of fact. I also believe that if it is not my time to go, no matter how much one tries to kill me, I will live to tell and retell what I know is true!
Talk of faith in the Almighty, I have enough of that!
As for the victims of these atrocities by the Malacanang Squatter and her lackeys, let us not allow their deaths to be in vain. The higher the number of victims of these atrocities, the stronger the outrage and demand for the removal of the crook parading as “Ina ng Bayan,” etc., and hopefully, the force that will one of days blow her out of the palace by the murky river.
TAMA NA, SOBRA NA! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! NO TO CHACHA!
Speaking of the lesser number of real English speakers now in the Philippines, I don’t see the connection of this deficiency in speaking English with the bad state of Philippine economy now that is more due to bad governance than the inability of Filipinos to communicate with other peoples of the world in English especially considering the fact that not all peoples of the world speak English!!!
As one who has lived in Japan longer than I have lived in the Philippines or elsewhere, and witnessing Japan’s rise to power enough to hobnob with the biggies in the international community like the US and UK (Japan is and has been an original member of the G-countries) even when majority of the people of Japan speak only Nihongo, the hyojungo (national language) based on the language spoken in Tokyo, I find the reasonings of one English lecturer in a Philippine university regarding the poor ability of present-day Filipinos to speak English to be nothing but lip-service and a cover-up of the failure of the Malacanang Squatter to boost Philippine economy under her reign especially when she is the main cause of the state the economy is in due to wrong policies and her stealing of public funds, etc.
What a crap indeed especially when listening to such English as the Midget’s can be a pain in the ears. Ang sama ng accent! Ang tigas ng dila!
Frankly, I don’t watch Philippine news on TV unless the news is in Tagalog that I am trying to learn in its purest state. I hate listening to Filipinos like the Midget who seems to have her p’s and f’s, and b’s and v’s misplaced when she speaks through her bucked teeth! :-p.
Hindi pa mag-tagalog lalo na mga pilipino naman ang tagapakinig!
The inmates in death row are more fortunate than these persons senselessly murdered because of their beliefs. They enjoy executive clemency and pardon. How many political detainees continue to languish in jail? Is this fair and just?
Its always the “purge spin” the administration uses, local execs in Bukidnon has debunked the military’s claim that a mass grave of purge victims has been discovered in San Fernando. We should “PURGE” our country of these tyrants instead.
Mike Cohen has a good blogsite, http://www.mikeinmanila.blogspot.com and you can catch Jay Sonza and Batas Mauricio at http://www.untvweb.com from 5:15 to 8am daily. Their commentaries are good and amusing.
Sorry Ellen if I did some advertising.
testing comment
Ellen,
opposition journalists are being killed. How many pro-Arroyo jounalists have been killed?
And the military/administration is not killing leftists so they must be killing each other or, worse, committing mass suicide?
It’s possible that the murders are not being ordered by her but, shit, she encourages it by rewarding primary suspects like Palparan and keeping quite when slime like bert gonzalez throw wild acusations.
24 May 2006
That’s the problem we are encountering right now, much to my dismay, correct me if I’m wrong, but was it sometime ago when the killings of journalist in the Philippines was compared to that of Iraq, Isn’t the administration raised a howl??? the problem here in the Philippines in comparison to Iraq, is that Iraq is at war/rebellion. That is the very reason why there’s a lot of journalist being killed in Iraq, while here in the Philippines we are not even in a rebellion. The point here, how safe can you be in the Philippines??? one noticeable thing is that most of thsoe being killed are those critical of admin, to include those critics of gloria, politically speaking. They are being persecuted.
On NSC Gonzales, why is it that the AFP and the PSG do not believe him???except the PNP, why??? is it because the issue is not true. Every president has been threatened to be assasinated or to be killed. I thought gonzales is supposed to have a heart surgery (if he has one), tsk, tsk, tsk…..parang lokohan na ito. Was gonzales and the administration able to pull one on the senators??? hehehehehehehehe……
The two gonzaleses are full of hot air, they should resign, better yet, all of them should resign (all elective and appointive officials) for a snap election and then we can start new from there.

When Ka Bel and Cong. Ocampo came to Japan last year, they talked of the number of people assassinated for their beliefs between 2001 and 2005 that they admitted superseded the number of similar victims of political suppression, police brutality, military abductions, etc. during the Marcos dictatorship. In fact, they admitted to the group of Japanese parliamentarians, and NGOs they met that Marcos did not kill any of them, just incarcerated them if they refused to cooperate with him.
How they must now want to bang their heads on the wall for supporting this crook and helping place her in Malacanang, never expecting that they would be stabbed at the back and being forced to hide in the mountains once again to stay alive!
Now, why does SiRaulo Gonzales run after them? I’m told that SiRaulo wants to have monopoly of the partylist positions in Congress, and have the 5 Congressmen barred in the 2007 election especially if the ChaCha fails to push through.
I pray that Filipinos will not allow themselves to be duped again by the Midget and her lackeys with the BS of a charter change, which has only the Midget and JdV as the beneficiaries!
Meanwhile, kita ninyo ba ang litrato ni Pandak na kasama ng mga pari? Kamukhang-kamukha na ni Fat Guy! Talk of a compatible husband and wife getting to look alike! Dorobo begets dorobo!!! :-p Yuck!
Ellen,
Apparently, the abduction of the missing 5 Erap supporters was owned up by ISAFP.
I don’t think ISAFP was the only military unit involved in the abduction.
I am absolutely certain, positive, etc. that the AFP Counter-Intelligence Service which was revived last year or a few days before Gen Efren Abu’s retirement (following Gloria’s DEMAND and on the insistence of one of her staunchest military supporters) is very much involved.
Obviously, the two military intel units share intelligence reports, methods, etc., and even intel “assets” (agents, human resources) but the AFP Counter-Intelligence Service, the police of the police sort of unit within the AFP, will not be adverse to using the methodology on the likes of the Erap 5; they think it’s “par for the (intel) course.”
Gaudencio “Boycee” Pangilinan, Colonel, PA and AFP CIS chief should be able to shed light into the abduction of the Erap 5 and explain why the ABDUCTION!
Ellen,
No warrant of arrest. Can the arresting officers be sued? Who signed the order? Can he be sued too?
Yes, our AFP now has become an ORGANIZED CRIME SYNDICATE. With all the VIOLATIONS OF LAWS, AND HUMAN RIGHTS. Nagsinungaling pa sila na wala daw sa kanila ang 5 Erap supporters. Kung hindi nabantayan ng media ay baka pinatay na ang mga ito. And now they are concocting the story of assasination. Kailangang WAKASAN NA ANG KAWALANGHIYAAN NG MGA AROGANTE AT ABUSADONG MILITAR NA ITO AT ANG ‘MAFIA’ LEADER NILANG SI ARROYO!
anna, according to the Army spokesman, he only learned this afternoon that the ISAFP has the Erap 5 in custody. This is the AFP talking. What about the chain of command they staunchly uphold? Its absurd to deny knowledge of something this significant. The “arrested 5” were supposed to be a liquidation squad out to assassinate cabinet secretaries.
One suspect when presented to media showed torture marks on different parts of his body. Another also averred that he was tortured into admitting tha he was part of a liquidation squad and that he owns the AK-47 supposedly found during the arrest.
The SC should step in, we are not under the state of emergency nor martial rule. Several factors must be met to constitute rebellion to use warrantless arrests. The writ of habeas corpus has not been lifted either. The Sec. Gen. of Karapatan tonight said that several abductions of militants in Luzon took place several days before this arrest. She also said that there seems to be a pattern unfolding and that the military and police are the ones behind it.
Schumey,
What the military spokesman said may be believable (but just “just” believable) because ISAFP and AFP CIS operate on an entirely different set of military norms and tenets.
However, if indeed the AFP spokesman did say that he only learned that the AFP had the Erap 5 in custody ONLY this afternoon, one of two extremes: 1) he’s lying 2) or he is incompetent because the news hit the media some 72 hours ago and he should have inquired out of professional curiosity (Shit, the AFP was already suspected of abduction – is he an idiot or what?
BUT there is also a very possible scenario: ISAFP didn’t have the 5 but AFP CIS did so our poor AFP spokesman really could have been in the dark… You see, AFP CIS reports directly to Malacanang! (Just like the Gestapo chief reporting directly to Hitler and not to the JCS of Hitler’s armies.)
It’s safe to say that Manuel Buencamino’s favorite Malacanang butler (Defensor)would have known about the whereabouts of the Erap 5.
Good thing Erap’s reaction to the disappearance stirred the public, otherwise, they could have been goners.
Just like when ISAFP picked up Popoy Lagman (the PNP had no clue where Lagman was but ISAFP did) – the AFP leadership didn’t know about it, not even Gen Boy Abadia knew that ISAFP was trailing Lagman and subsequently picked him up. If ISAFP could do that with impunity then, what more today particularly when it’s the AFP CIS doing it with the double, nay, treble blessings of Malacanang! Easy… very easy.
This is why our writers, newspapers, columnists, etc should talk about AFP CIS openly. The organization is highly threatening. Lives might be saved if people know of their existence.
Also, the ‘very intersting reports’ about the vehicles used in the abduction. One plate number was registered to a school bus, the other was supposed to be in a motor shop for repair. It seems that the abducting military goons used questionable vehicles. No wonder our country has very high rates of carnapping. I am sure these officials are also behind this. This abduction incident should really be thoroughly investigated to uncover more horrors. I believe the AFP/PNP goons has just made a blunder.
Are there still Filipinos who believe this communist bogeyman by the Philippine military?
I am a rabid critic of the Malacanang Squatter, but it does not make me a communist even when I meet and talk with members of Joma Sison’s group or partylist Congressmen like Ka Bel, Lisa Masa or Satur Ocampo when they come to Japan and meet with their friends in the Japanese Diet belonging to the Socialist and Communist parties in Japan.
What is outrageous is how the Philippine military is given free rein in torturing civilians in what is more a “palabas” to validate the illegal stay of a criminal who should have been the one being picked up by the police, not the military, and subjected to a grilling interrogation sans any police brutality.
I join the millions of Filipinos whose blood must be boiling right now over this barbaric and outrageous act of soldiers of the Philippines whose activities should be limited to defending the country from enemies from the outside, not to killing their fellow countrymen even from a tyrant like the criminal suspect squatting at the palace by the murky river.
This kind of barbarism committed by the police, military, the Justice Department, etc. in the Philippines should be condemned by all God-fearing and patriotic Filipinos.
What we witness in the Philippines now is a military rule much worse than that of Marcos. At least, there was no hypocrisy there, because everyone knew it was a dictatorship although we know now that it was more a cronyship with Marcos’ cronies, with or without military connections, running the show especially at the latter part of his reign when he was too sick to rule as effectively as he did during his first four years in office and reason why he became the first president of the Philippines to be reelected even
by cheating and vote-rigging that were apparently mere hearsay than real unlike the vote-rigging in Election 2004.
Thus, we see now a government run by crooks with a suspected criminal pampering those who can assure her continued stay at the palace by the murky river with loots from the national treasury replenished with blood money remitted by Filipino workers, who are practically shooed away to foreign lands and told to stay there even when they are not wholeheartedly welcome as proven by the attempts of governments of countries, where these migrant workers go in search of jobs that their government cannot provide them, to bar them from enjoying the same fringe benefits due the natives, and from increasing like the Israelites in Diaspora in ancient Egypt with such laws as the new US Immigration Law categorizing illegal migrants as criminals; donations from jueteng lords; and earnings from the Philippine sweepstakes, games and amusement agencies that the suspected criminal now wants to be under her sole control!!!
Funny how the laws of the land in the Philippines are being transgressed by the very same people, who are supposed to implement and enforce them, to the satisfaction and glory of a suspected criminal instead of for maintaining law and order. It surely sucks to see laws there being applied only to those who cannot pay and buy their freedom as in the case of Ka Bel, but not to the likes of the Midget who has violated not just one but several laws of the Philippines that can even merit capital punishment!
That sucks indeed considering the fact that there are just too many police agencies in the Philippines, and yet, we hear of many cases of injustice as the above. Over here, investigation of criminal cases are handled only by the police. We have a National Police Agency and the local police with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the equivalent of UK’s Scotland Yard, being the biggest. The National Police Agency is more or less just a policy making body as the actual police investigations, etc. are left to the local police departments with staff culled through some national board exam open even to high school graduates, and officials chosen from the ranks and files not by political appointments.
Yes, we have an independent police force over here maintained under the supervision of a public safety commission composed of qualified ordinary citizens. Beat me why they have not developed similar system in the Philippines under US tutelage where bureaucrats cannot be under the mercy of any elected politicians, and controlled by any crook as the case is now in the Philippines where a suspected criminal is even given free rein to run and control all branches of the government, especially agencies responsible for making sure that crooks like her cannot thrive!
Do our military meddle in police works over here? No, because in principle, the Japan Self-Defense Force is even considered illegal since Japan is not supposed to have a military force under the US-tailored pacifist Constitution that the US now orders Koizumi, et al to have revised so Japanese soldiers can participate in armed skirmishes with US soldiers overseas and eventually in Japan that we, the ordinary citizens, dread and strongly protest against!
We are actually not duped by the present attempt now to reduce US military installation in Japan that we see more as a trick to force us to agree to a revision of our Constitution to remove that clause regarding rearming Japan. The Midget we understand, as reported in Japanese newspapers, has agreed to take in the bulk of the US military being removed from Okinawa and planned to be transferred to Mindanao even before the Philippine Congress and Senate approve such move, but then, of course, that is another story.
My condolence to all victims of this kind of atrocities committed against citizens of the Republic of the Philippines by the very same people who have been trusted to protect them by upholding the law not the rule of force.
We, Filipinos and ex-citizens of the Philippines in Japan, join the protest against this kind of injustice and atrocity, and call for the immediate removal of a suspected criminal from the palace by the murky river!
In principle, we understand that there is not even a need for an impeachment since the Election Code of the Philippines provides for the disqualification of anyone violating any of its provision.
Since the Midget has admitted calling up a famous vote-rigger, Garcilano, during, before and after the election in 2004, it is therefore evident that she has violated the said election law from which she is not exempted. Thus, she should be disqualified and arrested immediately! This is saying it right definitely!
TAMA NA, SOBRA NA! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! HUWAG MATAKOT SA MGA KURAKOT!
Over here and in more civilized and progressive societies, illegal arrests, and most of all abduction even by government agents can mean dismissal of any case such as this abduction of Erap’s supporters in an attempt by the criminal suspect overstaying at the palace by the murky river and her lackeys to validate some boogey assassination plot they are advertising in what is more a rumor mongering tactic that these criminals parading as government officials are getting infamous for.
25 May 2006
Last Tuesday, the ISFAP, according to col. kison, the UMDJ 5 was not in the custody of ISAFP, but yesterday, they were caught off-guard, the porstituted AFP of gloria, suddenly presented to the CIDG-DOJ the UMDJ 5, one even showed the torture mark on his body and claimed that his genitals was electrocuted, tsk, tsk, tsk….. are we in the state of martial law??? at first they denied it, per kison, that they dont inm their custody the UMDJ 5, after oresenting them to the media, the DOJ (another prostituted agency of gloria) will file rebellion charges against them. Was it yesterday when sen. jinggoy, in his sppech at the senate that the 5 were in ISAFPs hand??? was it the AFP who said that sen jinggoy has to come up with his evidence that the ISAFP has the UMDJ 5??? now, what can the AFP say now, that in fact the 5 were in their hands and even tortured one (perhaps its only one) to admit that he is and assasin as claimed by the DOJ.
Sa tingin ko napahiya na ang AFP ni gloria, kaya sinampahan na lang ng rebellion ang UMDJ 5.
Question right now is???? is the Philippines under the unproclaimed state of martial law???? everything that is happening to the criticis of the administration is being arrested-without warrant of arrest- ambushed/killed or even tortured to admit everything under the sun.
I call on the Filipino people to wake up, we have to put an end to this shenanigans of gloria and her clowns, we should put a stop on it. It is right to file a case against the prostituted AFP and PNP, as long as gloria is in the palace nothings gonna happen to us. We are going back to the dark days of martial law, were anyone/anybody who is suspected to be against this illegitimate government, anynoe.anybody will be charged with rebellio or worse be killed.
jinx
Rebellion is the easiest way to facilitate warrantless arrests and to justify this action. However, the rules and process of criminal procedure must be followed. Application for search and arrest warrants must still be made. Proper identification must also be made by the arresting team. The officers must inform the suspect of what he is being arrested for. Inquest proceedings does not constitute filing of charges either. Only when the proper information is presented to the courts will the case be officially filed.
We are now in a state of Mafia rule where the president can have anyone abducted or eliminated. Its impossible for mere foot soldiers to take such actions without the “godfather’s” willing.
And why have our military, who are supposed to be the “protector of the people” been reduced to Gloria Arroyo’s death squads?
To protect Arroyo’s illegitimate hold on power.
So many crimes have already been committed just to keep her in power.
You know why there is no national, and popular outrage for this killings? Because we couldn’t care less for these militants who have done nothing but incite the people to rebellion no matter who sits in Malacanang. It’s disturbing that I found out for myself that many people that I know supported the idea of systematic liquidation of militants. Bayan Muna and other legal fronts of the CPP-NPA has done nothing but abuse and squander the democratic space accorded to them. Nakakatawa pakinggan because these people are anything but democratic. I should know, having been UP-bred, they brainwash people with their romanticized versions of revolutions. Hindi nila alam that people die, families get broken. How dare them call for human rights abuses and remain silent on the use of child warriors of the CPP-NPA, the extortion rackets of companies, and the murders committed by their parties. SAGUTIN NGA NINYO TO?! BAT TAHIMIK ANG BAYAN MUNA, etc, SA MGA KASAMAAN NG NPA??? I never voted for Gloria, but suffering under Gloria is infinitely better than suffering under the cabal of Communists, Political Opportunists and a league of Media na walang alam sa Etika ng tamang pamamahayag. NAKAKAHIYA ANG MEDIA SA PILIPINAS. Sa tingin nyo, pinaniniwalaan pa rin ng tao ang mga Obispo ng Simbahang Katoliko, kagaya ng mga punyetang pari na yan na nakikisawsaw sa pulitika? NOT ANYMORE. Kaming middle-class ang parating kawawa sa mga kagaguhan ng mga napaka-insensitive na mga leftists na habang nagrarali sila sa Ayala, pinaglalakad kami ng malayo para makapunta sa mga opisina namin. Pag nagkagulo, kami ang kawawa, kasi karamihan sa amin, no work, no pay. Hindi kagaya ng mga rallyista na yan na bayaran ng mga international donor organizations. Oo, hindi perpekto si Gloria. Ilagay na rin nating nandaya siya. Bakit? Ang Bayan Muna ba hindi nakikisosyo sa mga NPA para sa Permit To Campaign nung huling eleksyon? Bat hindi imbestigahan yan? Ngayon nasan ang Media? Nasan ang Human Rights? Nasan ang mga punyetang pari? Nasan si Escudero??? WALA! It’s really irritating to see Imee Marcos and Crispin Beltran together on TV. Pati ang NPA, bayaran din ang mga hayup na yan. Kung magaling sila, eh di sana pinatay na nila si Imelda nun pa! Eh makita ko nga si Marcos sa Greenbelt, sarap na itulak o saksakin eh. Puro kayo pahirap. Dagdagan nyo pa ng media na walang kakwenta kwenta. Why cant Bayan Muna with its extensive network instead promote job and wealth generation among the communities they supposedly serve instead of fomenting class conflicts? Kasi po, nasa ideolohiya na yan ng mga makakaliwa- Educate (Brainwash)- Agitate (Rally) – Revolutionize. Kaya takot ang mga leftist na yan sa National ID kasi malalaman kung sino ang mga masamang loob. Imbes maging isang huwarang mamamayan, itutumba na lang kung sino nasa pwesto.
MAGISING NA KAYO! Hindi kami nagbabayad ng buwis para ialsa ang kilikili ng Bayan Muna, etc. YOU ARE PAID TO LEGISLATE!Patuloy pa ring dadanak ang dugo at wag na kayong magtaka na wala pa ring pakialam sa inyo. Magalit na ang magalit sa post na to. Pero sana buksan nyo ang makikitid na kaisipan. Kung totoo kayo sa pagbabago at pag-unlad ng ating bansa, makinig kayo sa katahimikan ng totoong mayorya. Maawa kayo sa mga anak nyo at magiging apo nyo.
