Hecklers greeted President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Monday when she attended the celebration of Women’s Month in Calamba City in Laguna province, radio dzBB reported.
The radio report said Mrs Arroyo, together with local city officials, were about to release pink balloons during the launch of the Women’s Month celebration when several in the audience shouted “Patalsikin si Gloria” a couple of times.
Members of the Calamba police immediately approached the hecklers. A separate radio report said that seven of the hecklers were arrested and brought to the police station.
Following is a column by Ramon Farolan, retired air force general,in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. The italicized portion are the most interesting part of the article:
But back to the story behind the AFP-PNP unity walk. In the early morning hours of Monday, February 25th, this conversation was recorded by wiretapping elements of an intelligence-gathering group.
Gen. Razon: Mistah, ano bang gagawin natin pagkatapos ng flag-raising sa Edsa?
Gen. Esperon: Hinahamon tayo ng class ’76. Dalhin mo ang golf set mo at mag-laro tayo sa Aguinaldo.
Gen. Razon: Eh, paano tayo makaka-alis sa Edsa? Nakakahiya naman kung basta mag-disappear tayo agad.
Gen. Esperon: Ganito, sabihin mo sa staff mo na magkapit-bisig tayo, kasama ang army, air force at navy commanders patungong Aguinaldo. Pag-dating natin doon, derecho sa clubhouse, bihis at tee-off agad!
Gen. Razon: Maganda ’yan, mistah. Pero baka tatawag si “4 by 4” (Palace codename).
Gen. Esperon: Akong bahala. Sasabihin ko na pinaguusapan natin ang anti-coup operations.(End of conversation)
I like this one from Tongue’s wrath:
Tongue, can we change “resign” to “Out”. Can we also put the full name of “Gloria Arroyo”?

ZTE star witness Rodolfo Noel Lozada Jr. yesterday called on upright members of the Armed Forces and Philippine National Police to make a stand on the issue of corruption hounding the Arroyo administration.
In an interview at La Salle Greenhills, Lozada said the opposition should abandon its call for President Arroyo to resign. “She has to be ousted.”
Ang ganda ng rally noong Biyernes. Katulad ng sa lahat na pagtitipon, madamdamin ang pagkanta ng “Bayan Ko” sa katapusan kasi nandiyan pa sa Malacañang ang reyna ng kasinungalingan at katiwalian na sumisira sa ating demokrasya.
Sabi ng ni Renato Reyes ng Bayan, ibig sabihin lang noon, kulang pa ang ating pagsisigaw. Kaya dapat, sa susunod, mas marami at mas malakas ang ating sigaw.
Kahit pagod, masaya kaming umuwi. Ngunit nang nasa-sasakyan na ako, may tumawag kaming kaibigan at ipina-alam sa kin na apat sa mga staff members sa opisina ni Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV ay hinuli at dinala sa Southern Police District. Sila ay sina Dominador Rull, Romel Solis, Chito Cariño at Jerry Delfin.
