Kung sino pa ang nakakulong , yung pa ang sumipot. Ang malaya na nasa kapangyarihan ay hindi sumipot.
Ito ang nangyari sa pirmahan ng Peace Covenant para sa mapayapang eleksyon sa Sipalay, Negros Occidental noong Miyerkoles na inurganisa ng “Project HOPE (Honest, Orderly, Peaceful, Election)” na itinataguyod ng mga lider ng simbahan, Katoliko at Aglipayan at sa komunidad kasama ang Philippine National Police at ang military. Ginawa ito sa Sipalay gymnasium.
Si dating Marine Capt. Gary Alejano, miyembro ng grupong Magdalo, ay tumatakbong mayor (Independent) ng Sipalay laban kay Acting Mayor Oscar Montilla ng United Negros Alliance na naka-alyansa sa National People’s Coalition.
Si Alejano ay nakakulong ngayon sa ISAFP (Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines) sa Camp Aguinaldo habang hinaharap niya ang kaso konektado sa tinatawag na “Oakwood mutiny” noong Hulyo 2003 at Manila Peninsula siege noong Nobyembre 2008. Sa dalawang insidente nayun, nanindigan sila laban sa kurakutan at pambabastos ni Gloria Arroyo ng batas.
Former Lt(sg) James Layug is running for representative of the second district of Taguig. Here he outlines his advocacy:

Paglabas sa kulungan sa Camp Crame, lumipat lang sa kulungan sa Camp Aguinaldo.
Noong Pebrero 17, inaprubahan ni Judge Elmo Alameda ng Makati regional Trial Court ang pagpiyansa ng 18 opisyal at sundalo na sangkot sa Nov 2007 na insidente sa Manila Peninsula. Maliban kay Brig. Gen. Danny Lim, ang kasama doon ay miyembro ng grupong Magdalo sa pangunguna ni Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV.
Kaya nagpiyansa naman sina Alejano at Layug noong Pebrero 19. Si Alejano at Layug ay kumakandidato para sa halalan sa Mayo. Si Alejano ay tumatakbong mayor sa Sipalay, Negros Occidental at si Layug naman ay para congressman sa pangalawang distrito ng Taguig.
Akala nina Alejano at Layug ay lalaya na sila kahit pansamantala para naman maasikaso nila ang kanilang kampanya. Mali pala kasi paglabas nila sa Camp Crame custodial center, kinuha sila ng military at nilipat sa ISAFP (Intelligence Service, Armed Forces of the Philippines) compound.
Nandun ngayon sina Alejano at Layug. Magkasama sila doon ni Marine Col. Ariel Querubin.
Ang tatlong sibilyan na nakasama sa Manila Pen (Julius Mesa, Cesari Gonzales at Emmanuel Tirador) na kasama sa 18 nakakulong sa Crame ay nagpiyansa na rin at pinayagang makalaya. Dapat naman.

Manny Villar, presidential candidate of the Nacionalista Party, and Manuel Roxas, vice presidential bet of the Liberal Party, have gotten the support of the Magdalo group which said it could deliver at least 250,000 votes.
The “price” of the support: He will not enter into an alliance with President Arroyo; and he will pursue the Magdalo advocacy on poverty alleviation, anti-corruption, peace in Mindanao, and reform and modernization of the Armed Forces.
A third condition, according to Acedillo, is for Villar to allow other detained Magdalo members to serve in government.
Asked to explain if the condition — “malayang makapagsilbi ulit sa gobyerno an gaming mga kasamahan sa pamumuno ng aming chairman a si Sen. (Antonio) Trillanes IV” — means they would seek amnesty for the detained Magdalo members, Acedillo noted the Magdalo members are still undergoing trial for coup and rebellion. He said they might move for amnesty in the next administration.
It must have been slip of the tongue when Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita told Malacañang reporters “We have been checking on the court” when asked for reaction to the order of Makati RTC Judge Elmo Alameda to grant bail to Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim and 16 officers and soldiers in connection with the Nov. 2007 incident at the Manila Peninsula.
Alameda said the evidence presented by the prosecution did not prove the charge of rebellion, which should have been non-bailable.
Alameda’s order supports common sense that what Trillanes, Lim and company did on Nov. 2007 did not constitute public uprising and taking up arms against the government which is the primary element of rebellion.
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and senatorial aspirant former Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim will remain in jail despite being allowed by a Makati court to post bail on a rebellion charge, the military said on Wednesday.
“The group of Senator Trillanes cannot be released until after the military has agreed already, because they are still facing general court martial,” said Armed Forces spokesman Lt. Col. Romeo Brawner Jr.
He said the two have pending cases before the military tribunal in connection with alleged attempts to overthrow the Arroyo government.
“Under the military law, there is no such thing as bail,” Brawner said.
