Subject: [kgma] on trying to bring down my mother

Dear friends,

Here’s my full statement. Unfortunately ABS-CBN has been very unfair

Glaring contradictions

Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan has this to say about Gloria Arroyo’s belated admission that indeed there were irregularities in the NBN/ZTE deal:

Glaring contraditions cast serious doubts on the credibility and truthfulness pf PGMA’s admission.

Malacañang said no hard evidence of irregularities then. Now, PGMA says irregularities pushed her to cancel the contract. So, what’s the truth?

Ang $41 million na advance

Akala talaga ni Gloria Arroyo, tanga tayo.

Inamin niya noong Sabado sa kanyang interview sa DZRH na alam raw niyang may iregularidad ang $349 million NBN/ZTE deal na kanyang sinaksihan ang pirmahan sa Boao, China noong April 21, 2007 ngunit itinuloy raw niya dahil foreign government ang kasama sa deal.
Ngunit sabi niya, kinansela naman nya ang kontrata kalaunan.

Akala ni Arroyo, papatawarin siya ang sambayanang Pilipino dahil inamin niyang may irgularidad naman talaga ang kontrata na ilang buwan ring sinasabi ng mga opisyal niya na maayos at malinis. Akala niya katulad ni Rodolfo Noel “Jun” Lozada na lalong hinangaan siya ng sinabi niya na marami siyang nagawa na nakakawala ng respeto sa sarili ngunit gusto na niya ngayon bumawi at –isalbahin ang kanyang kaluluwa.

What could spark military outrage

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.

Please bring us back to the barracks

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!
