Lawyer Ernesto Francisco, jr. yesterday said he will be filing contempt of court charges against AFP Chief Hermogenes Esperon, Jr. for the unlawful interference by the ISAFP (Intelligence Service of the AFP) in the ongoing hearing on the writ of Amparo filed by the relatives of participants in the Nov. 29 activity who are included in “Wanted” posters”
Here’s Atty. Francisco’s statement:
Cong. Teofisto “TG” Guingona III of the 2nd District of Bukidnon, calls on Gloria Arroyo and AFP Chief Hermogenes Esperon to resign in a privilege speech delivered on Feb. 27, 2008.
Jason and Fe Aquino have been happily married for 14 years now. Jason Aquino is a Major of the Philippine Army, assigned at Fort Bonifacio.

His wife, Fe, is a housewife who hails from Cagayan de Oro. They are blessed with four daughters; Chen, who is 13 years old, a first year high school student; Chel who is 12 years old, a grade six student; and Chez who is 8 months old.

“THE LAW APPLIES TO ALL OTHERWISE NONE AT ALL” is a famous line from an American President adopted by Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim while still in the active service as a police officer. The phrase amply describes the application of the law in a democratic society such as ours. In the preservation of democracy, many of our country’s finest men and women, from Lapu-lapu to our latest battle casualties, have laid their lives for our country.
Last Saturday, we were busy burning the lines trying to confirm reports that Malacañang was sounding our foreign embassies of the possibility of Gloria Arroyo declaring a state of emergency.
The information we got was, she will do it today to pre-empt the brewing unrest in the military. With the snowballing protest in almost all sectors of society, the missing ingredient is the military.
AFP Chief Hermogenes Esperon and Philippine National Chief last Monday staged a unity walk to prove to the world that men in uniform are solid behind Arroyo.

Immediately after last Friday’s 8-hour court martial hearing of the mutiny case against Maj. Gen. Renato Miranda and 27 other officers allegedly involved in the plan to withdraw support from Gloria Arroyo in February 2006, the members of the panel met with AFP Chief of Staff Hermogenes Esperon.
Esperon, the source said, was upset that no arraignment of the 28 officers took place. A member of the panel, the source said, told the AFP chief that much as they want to follow his timetable, it’s difficult for them to railroad the process. That would open them later to charges of violations of the law. They risk being subjected to court martial themselves for rendering unlawful judgment.
On the 22nd anniversary of People Power One and on the second anniversary of their incarceration for allegedly planning to withdraw support from Gloria Arroyo, the 28 officers led by Maj. Gen. Renato Miranda and Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim, issued the following statement:
We are soldiers. We are also citizens. We, together with our families, are so much a part of the community more than our beloved organization. We are not faceless automatons incapable of thinking, feeling and discernment. We feel the pain of our neighbors as much as their anger. We see their oppression and sense their hopelessness. Of course, their happiness is ours too. But they are not!
Lahat na nakaka-usap ko na nakikiramdam sa nangyayari ngayon sa sitwasyon pampulitika sa bansa ay nagsasabi na magbantay at maghanda ng husto sa susunod na linggo. “Mula February 25 hanggang March 31,” sabi ng isang source.
Padami-dami na ang mga sector na lumalantad at nagpapahayag ng kanilang galit sa ginagawa ni Gloria Arroyo at ng kanyang mga alipores na pagyurak ng demokrasya sa Pilipinas. Ang mga dating walang paki-alam katulad ng mga negosyante sa Makati, mga pare at madre at mga kabataan ay sumasali na.
Ako ay pagod na pagod na sa kaka-martsa para sa katotohanan at hustisya na niyurakan ni Gloria Arroyo at may mga panahon na sabi ko tanggap ko na pinapabayaan na ng Panginoon ang Pilipinas. Para bang hinahayaan na tayong malugmok sa katiwalian sa kung anong rason na hindi ko ma-intindihan.
