Perilous Jobs

The position of certain persons even in legitimate organizations or agencies of the private sector, government, church and sectoral groups, sad to say are dangerous.

Dangerous, in these times, until they come to grips with the realpolitik of their membership in both aboveground or underground organizations.

In this day and age when all attention is riveted towards the menace of terrorism, certain organizations and their methods become paramount in the minds of those who prepare the orders of battle in the military, the police, the country's prime investigateive agencies and the nation's front lines of defense, namely: customs, immigration, border security and organs that safeguard the country from economic, environmental and other forms of sabotage.

Thus groups like the Communist Party of the Philippines, that has links with as many terrorist organizations from Asean to the Middle East, to Europe and Africa, as well as the Moro National Liberation Front that has strong links with the Juma'a Abbu Sayyap and the multitudinous breakaway groups of both organizations and their officers and members, would be the first to become the subjects in the order of battle.

The ultra-rightist threat groups that have recently shown they cooperated with the Communist Party of the Philippines will necessarily also be part of the order of battle.

Needless to mention, those teetering at the edges of these points in the political spectrum, who are also actively networking with the ultra-left and ultra-right, might also find themselves in the order of battle, regardless if in the past they have opportunistically agreed to be the songbirds either of Isafp or Nica chiefs, as in the case purportedly, of Ms. Corazon Soliman and her husband, Hector -- during the time of Mrs. Corazon Aquino in Malacañang.

Such is the misfortune of certain jobs held by members of the several and various organizations now fiddling with terrorism.

It is not of course the jobs that imperil the lives of these persons who are tinkering with dangerous plots. But in the propaganda mills, it sounds like indeed the jobs are truly dangerous and full of hazards.

What is it really like to be part of the Inquirer News Service, for instance and be a member of the Communist Party?

What is it to be a junior level executive of ABS CBN and to be also another member of the Communist Party, for short also known as CPP?

What is actually perilous in being part of a Sectoral Party that competes in Philipine elections, but to be an adjunct of a Special Committee for Parliamentary Struggle of the Communist Party?

What does it pay to be a simple employee or an engineer and on the other hand, to be a propagandist of the MAGDALO-TAONG BAYAN AT KAWAL?

What is it to be a leader of a daily news organization and to be a lead propaganda arm of the overthrow GMA movement, as well as be part of a coup plotters' group?

What is it to be simple leaders of NGOs and be secret accomplices of bombers-terrorists calling themselves MAGDALO-TAONG BAYAN AT KAWAL (also referred to as TABAK)?

What is it to be a call center employee and be the contact of Muslim Terrorists being aided by CPP?

Finally, what is it to be a businessman, big or small, or a politician - neophyte or seasoned - but to be the funder of the CPP and a follower of Be Not Afraid Movement, that is also said to be behind MAGDALO and TABAK, and several other groups like Kaakbay, Pilipinismo, and has been supplying logistics for a group called Black and White Movement, Citizens Congress for Truth, etc.?

Again, there is really nothing wrong with the job.

It is simply the black propaganda at work. The enemies of the state have gotten so low, that in purveying the lies about the country's sliding to Martial Law (with them making provocation after provocation), and all such other crappy campaigns, they have assailed the very sanctity of the simple stations of citizens meant for earning a decent living.

They have also introduced the community organizers' adversarial and confrontational tactics of pambabastos or euphemistically known as pressure tactics against "targets" in the hallowed halls of Congress and the Senate.

The recent example is the supposedly silent waving of white envelopes. The anti-Arroyo groups claim, it is the easiest way of getting rid of pro-administration Reps in the Session Hall. Good humor, that, but very sick indeed.

In the coming days, there will be more antics by the enemies of the state.
Many of them below the belt. It is obviously the very essence of demonization, disinformation, destabilization and fostering of discontent-demoralization.

The problem, is that they have introduced too much pollutants into the political atmosphere that they have truly made their very own jobs hazardous.

As in the wise, old men's saying in this country:

Pag marami ka nang inaagrabyado, sumisikip na ang mundo mo.

Amen to that!

Sometimes, in this country, for peace and progress to really happen, and Her Excellency's plans to push through, the highest leader of the land should listen to the pulse on the ground and not take everything she hears from her own cordon sanitaire.

Your Excellency's own people speak:  remove the enemies of the administration from government and LTA. Flush their accomplices out, too.

Especially if they are pro Erap in the first place.

Someone from the group that filed the impeachment said, she does not like and had never liked or will ever like the Marcos family but she admires Ms. Imee Marcos for being part of the Impeachment.

It will take a long time, it seems for the Philippines to get over with the impeachment.  The enemies of government are using the case to put a stop, with finality, to the Constitutional Amendments campaign of Pres. Arroyo.

Congresswoman Riza Baraquel made a solemn promise during her speech about her No Vote against the Justice Committee Report, that she and her group will ensure that Constitutional Amendments will not happen in the country.

 

 

 

The Great and the Small Men

By Fuqueng Warrior

 

In the ancient China of my friend's forebears, nature, the environment is important in making a proper and enlightening assessment for a King of the Empire.

 

Among the means for making an assessment, is the use of the hexagrams of the I Ching.  It is a highly idea oriented and nature-based tool for making assessment.

 

By making use of the environment all around human society, it makes use of a peculiar manner of weaving and employing parallelisms, analogies that properly fit the occasion.

 

One of the I Ching's perculiarities is in the description of a good King and his enemies.  A scrupulous, disciplined, righteous and uncorrupt King, is usually called in the I Ching, as one of the great or superior men, the lead superior man with a following of equally good and principled lieutenants.

 

On the other hand, the corrupt, unprincipled and unscrupulous ones are called the small men.

 

 

KIEH HEXAGRAM

 

In the state that is indicated by the Kieh diagram, the advantage will be found in the Southwest. If no further operations are necessary, there will be good fortune in coming back to the old conditions.  If some operations need to be done, there will be good fortune in the undertaking them early.

 

One will not commit error.

 

There will be hunting, three foxes, and obtaining the yellow (read : golden) arrows. With firm correctness there will be good fortune.

 

There is a porter with his burden, momentarily riding in a carriage. He will merely tempt robbers to attack him. However firm and correct he may try to be, there will be a cause for regret.

 

'Remove your toes. Friends will then come, between you and whom there will be mutual confidence.

 

The superior man (read: The Ruler), executing his / her function of removing whatever is injurious to the idea of the hexagram, in which case there will he good fortune, and confidence in him will be shown even by the small men.

 

Finally, there will be a prince with his bow, he is shooting at a falcon on the top of a high wall, and hitting it.  The effect of his action will be in every way advantageous.

 

THUN HEXAGRAM

Thun indicates successful progress. To a small extent it will still be advantageous to be firm and correct.

 

Retiring tail. The position is perilous. No movement in any direction should be made.

 

Holding one's purpose fast as if by a thong made from the hide of a yellow ox, which cannot be broken.

 

One retiring but bound -- to his distress and peril. If he were to deal with his binders as in nourishing a servant or concubine, it would be fortunate for him.

 

Retiring notwithstanding his real preference and determination. In a superior man this will lead to good fortune; a small man cannot attain to this.

 

Retiring in an admirable way.  With firm correctness there will be good fortune.

 

Retiring in a noble way.  It will be advantageous in every respect.

 

 

The ancient Chinese are wont to say, when the  SMALL MEN  get their way with things.  In Confucius'  belief, in their time, they were pretty convinced that not all the leaders are good and not all leaders govern as true leaders would or could.  (There is however nothing by way of an aside, or an exact statement, that says whether all leaders have the capacity for good, or that leaders that are good could turn bad, and vice versa.)

 

People that are unscrupulous, evil and corrupt, are called SMALL MEN.  They also have their occasions to rule.  At the opportune time, they create enormous trouble and grab the power from the GREAT MEN or SUPERIOR MEN.

 

The GREAT or SUPERIOR MEN obviously will be the sworn enemy of the SMALL MEN --  because they are exact opposite  --- and proceed to plunder, lay waste and wretched the  society we live in.  This is a very radical departure from the sociology though, that we learn about in school.

 

This ancient kind of philosophy however, is very eye-opening revelation in many ways.  For indeed, didn't we have that mustachioed president who thrived on slapstick but did the most heinous things -- guaranteed privacy by his cordon sanitaire?  We struggled against that.  Raged and so did we overcome.

 

Then, the  SMALL MEN  bide their time and now, today, they think that it is the high tide and they shall sail for the capital.

 

If they sense and smell weakness, they will grab that opportunity to prop up their weaponry, their armies and ride in boats and in chariots and make a push toward the location of the SUPERIOR MEN in a Caravan.  When they reach the Great City, they the  SMALL MEN  will endeavor to dislodge the GREAT MEN and succeeding therein, will henceforth bring back barbarity into society once again.

 

Those amongst our communities then, who merely flow with the cycle, certainly will do nothing.  There are those who do not wish to be in a chaotic situation though, and with their sit-by-the-fence attitude, they usually just wake up that they are getting to be towed around by the SMALL MEN.

 

I am not even sure where I stand now.  (But most certainly, I will not prefer to be in the auspices of the THUN when superior men retreat in the face of the SMALL MEN.  If I had a choice, I would however, be happy to be in the auspices of the KIEH wherein I will take part in removing the menace of the SMALL MEN from the Kingdom.)

 

But back when the mustachioed idiot was President and yet was being bashed at every turn, I even tried to court sympathy for the bastard.  Until I realized that it was clearly difficult, even if I was under the employ of the Government, to be on the side of the SMALL MEN.

 

For heaven's sake, to make things easier to swallow, they even offered me to be an Undersecretary even at that my age during that time (although by then I was already of qualifying age, by Civil Service and uniformed service standards)!

 

But I refused!  Even as the SMALL MEN  were very adamant about the offer, I stood my ground.  They raised their voices, showed contempt for him, still I refused.

 

It was war.  War against the  SMALL MEN.   War against everything they stood for.  War against them for placing our country in the pits.  In the quagmire.  The  SMALL MEN   had by then become the instant  Overlord  of the men and women behind dangerous drugs and substances, the Kuratong Balelengs, the illegal gambling geniuses like Atong Ang, illegal loggers and kidnapping for ransom gangs, among so many other criminal  minded  groups.

 

A  classic  representative  of  the  SMALL MEN  was  a lady who up to now is happily moving in the high circles.  She is also a familiar face at a University on Taft Ave.  During the reign of the SMALL MEN   she claimed she was extremely close to the mustachioed leader that she could go his bedrom anytime -- even when he was asleep.  Lady says, she could wake the leader if the amount of collections she was offering was worth it.  She was obviously not only the dinner conference, weddings, baptism, etc. facilitator but also the collections facilitator of the leader.

 

She waited on a pretty lady and her beau for the sake of leader.  Lady and beau kept an office in a plush subdivision.  But beau, only happened to be one of the most wanted, most notorious men in Malaysia.  Moreover, the pretty miss and her beau were expectant parents of huge construction projects to be awarded by the leader to them.  Still, on the side, under the cool shade of their construction company, they managed to grab a young girl in Ilocos named Jacky and managed to kill her by accident or intent.

 

So now  you understand why it had to be War.  (It was the beginning of the auspices of a KIEH condition.)

 

Even if you had to brush elbows with thieves whom you would see ascend to the Palace gaily participating in the insane contest for the spoils of War…

 

That is why, whatever they say now, it will be the words of the  SMALL MEN   against those of the GREAT MEN.  I shall gladly defend the latter.  To the death.

 

Especially under the proper auspices of the KIEH conditions, were it possible.  And it appears so, now.

Description of the Kieh Hexagram

 

Kieh is the symbol of loosening, or unraveling a knot or resolving a complication; and as the name of this hexagram, it denotes a condition in which the obstruction and difficulty indicated by the preceding Kieh have been removed.

 

The objective of the philosopher author here is to show, as if from the lines of the figure, how this new and better state of the kingdom is to be dealt with.  In the Thwan of Kien for 'the advantage to be found in the Southwest.' If further active operations are not necessary to complete the subjugation of the country, the sooner that stability is restored, the better. The new masters of the kingdom should not be anxious to change all the old manners and ways.  Let them do, as the in historical China, the Duke of Kâu actually did do with the subjugated people of Shang.  If further operations therefore are necessary, let them be carried through without delay.  Nothing is said in the Thwan about the discountenancing and removal of small men, -- unworthy ministers or officers; but that subject appears in more! than one of the lines.

 

There is a weak line, instead of a strong, in the first place; but this is compensated for by its strong correlate in 4.

 

A scholar Kû Hsî says he does not understand the symbolism under line 2.  The place is even, but the line itself is strong; the strength therefore is modified or tempered.  And 2 is the correlate of the ruler in 5.  We are to look to its subject therefore for a minister striving to realise the idea of the hexagram, and pacify the subdued kingdom.  He becomes a hunter, and disposes of unworthy men, represented by 'the three foxes.'  He also gets the yellow arrows, the instruments used in war or in hunting, whose colour is 'correct,' and whose form is 'straight.'  His firm correctness will be good.

 

Line 3 is weak, when it should be strong; and occupying, as it does, the topmost place of the lower trigram, it suggests the symbolism of a porter in a carriage. People will say, 'How did he get there? The things cannot be his own.' And robbers will attack and plunder him. The subject of the line cannot protect himself, nor accomplish anything good.

 

What is said on the fourth line appears in the form of an address to its subject. The line is strong in an even place, and 1, its correlate, is weak in an odd place. Such a union will not be productive of good. In the symbolism 1 becomes the toe of the subject of 4. How the friend or friends, who are to come to him on the removal of this toe, are represented, I do not perceive.

 

Line 5 is weak in an odd place; but the place is that of the ruler, to whom it belongs to perfect the idea of the hexagram by removing all that is contrary to the peace and good order of the kingdom. It will be his duty to remove especially all the small men represented by the divided lines, which he can do with the help of his strong correlate in 2. Then even the small men will change their ways, and repair to him.

 

Line 6 is the highest line in the figure, but not the place of the ruler. Hence it appears as occupied by a Duke, who carries out the idea of the figure against small men, according to the symbolism employed.

 

Description of the Thun Hexagram

 

A retiring tail seems to suggest the idea of the subject of the lines hurrying away, which would only aggravate the evil and danger within the period in question.

 

'His purpose' in line 2nd line is the purpose to retreat.  The weak 2nd line responds correctly to the strong 5th line, and both are central.  The purpose therefore is symbolled as in the text.  The 'yellow' colour of the ox is introduced because of its being 'correct,' and of a piece with the central place of the line.

 

Line 3 has no proper correlate in 6 and its subject allows himself to be entangled and impeded by the subjects of the 1st and 2nd line. He is too familiar with them, and they presume, and fetter his movements;--compare Analects, 17. 25.  He should keep them at a distance.

 

Line 4 has a correlate in line 1, and is free to exercise the decision belonging to its subject. The line is the first in Khien, symbolic of strength.

 

In the Shû IV, v, Section 2. 9, the worthy Î Yin is made to say, 'The minister will not for favour or gain continue in an office whose work is done;' and the Khang-hsî editors refer to his words as an illustration of what is said on line 5. It has its correlate in the 2nd line, and its subject carries out the purpose to retire 'in an admirable way.'

 

Line 6 is strong, and with no correlate to detain it in the 3rd line. Its subject vigorously and happily carries out the idea of the hexagram.

 

 

Caution, Madam President

What is the president doing having these people in her administration:

Kirk Galanza, very Boy Morales and Erap man

Dir. Arnold Querijero, closely associates with strongly anti-GMA people.

Bernie Ferrer, a factotum of Boy Morales -- was helped by Galanza to get inside DAR after being booted out of Presidental Anti Poverty Commission.  His factotum (probably more than one) was / were only also recently removed from the OP but are complaining bitterly.  The nerve of the enemy!

Danny Consomido, another Erap and Boy Morales man.

Selected top officials of Department of Environment and Natural Resources --- brods of Boy Morales.

Unidentified employee, PMS, OP --- leaked your schedules to the communists and the FPJ campaign group in 2004.  Has she been found yet?

Unidentified employee, LTA Towers --- has been leaking vital secrets from LTA and communications from the Palace also to the communists who have resolved to subject you to physical harm and are working closely with the rebel military (who are confidently saying, the end is near for you) and the other enemies of this government.

Too many of them Madame President are inside your administration.  They hold very important and sensitive positions.  While your loyalists are languishing outside the government.

Spying on your administration's most important secrets are the least that these people could do to serve their masters.  The worst is helping start the coup d' etat from within and in the end, having you possibly physically dealt with.

Remember the taped Garcillano cell phone conversations!

Remember also, that the cry of the enemies of the government is, to not let you leave the government without a very serious case against you!

Why not take out people like these and bring in your loyalists!!!

This will be the beginning of the end of destabilization!  Imagine this Madame President:  After having been together with Erap, they have earned their keep already and should now be removed from office.

Your best redeeming act will be to stop the corruption in the processing of appointments at PMS.and allow the best and most loyal to shine in your administration!!!

Someone says that the Jesus  is  Lord  Movement  of  Brother  Eduardo  Villanueva  a/k/a Bro.  Eddie  and  some selected personalities purporting to be from Iglesia  ni  Cristo  (INC)  are  going to posibly reach  an agreement and combine  their  forces  to  fight  GMA.  On the other hand, enemies of the people want to soil the reputation of Speaker  Jose De  Venecia  and  Secretaries Eduardo Ermita and Angelo Reyes  (a godson of Ms. Dinky Soliman),  by disseminating the information as far and wide as possible, that the three officials are  both  speaking  with  the  same  groups  and  seeking  to  have  a  "fall  back"  position  and  "back-up"  once  they  would  supposedly  be  "forced"  to  finally  make  a  break  with  Pres. GMA  when  the  situation  worsens.  There are talks that three  prominent  individuals  /  families  allegedly  are  now  the ones bankrolling the  destabilization  of the country:

 

Two of the prominent individuals / families' surnames begin with a G while the third begins with an L.  Both the first and third have an interest in telecom and the second surname with a G is in the plastics business.  He is also close to the Black and White Movement through known figures also in the business community based in Makati.  However, it was also bruited about that the next in line will be an individual / family with surname beginning with an M.

 

Neither JDV  nor ATR  will  ever  be  visibly  intent  in changing  their horses midstream  and  abandon  Pres.  Arroyo  then  side  with  the  the  forces  of  destabilization.  Some  of  the  people  who  respect  them  however  are  now  with  the  other  side.  This  does  not  mean  that  these  people, whose lives they touched and have joined the oust GMA movement, will be able to carry them to the other camp.  That might even happen in reverse, considering the talent of JDV.  We  note here for the record that  JDV  is  one  of  those  who  helped  ex-Pres.  Ramos and  Sec.  Jose  Almonte  so  that  they  could  grant a/k/a Bro. Eddie his  own  television  station.  The  subject  TV  station,  is  now  in  the  hands  of  GMA  Channel  7.  As  a  result  of  this  merger,  the  owner  of  Channel  7  has  instructed  everyone  working  in  that  station  that  no  negative  comments  or  criticisms  against  neither  JIL  nor  Bro.  Eddie  will  be  uttered  in  Gma  Channel  7  or  in  the  renamed  Channel  11  QTV  (formerly  Zoe  TV).  The  first  G_____s  have  been  supporters  of  the  destabilization  forces  due  to  Sen.  Ping  and  eventually,  also  due  to  Sen.  M.  The  L__s  on  the  other  hand,  owe  almost  their  very  lives  and  survival  to  ex-Pres.  Cory Aquino,  who  gave  them  back  their  companies  after the EDSA Revolt.

 

Once the money is in, there will be purportedly, a series of threatened bombings.  Some bombs will be made to actually detonate, Bato Bato sa Langit ang Tamaan...  well, unfortunately for them, according to the enemies of Pres. Arroyo.

 

Both Mindanao and Metro Manila are targets.  It would not happen were it not for the money being shelled out by the abovesaid wealthy persons.

After the Magdalo Siege of the Oakwood International Hotel-Apartments failed desperately, the communists in the country announced that they were wholly open to accept defectors from the armed forces and the police, among other armed services possibly like the coast guard and NBI, etc.

The CPP and the NPA have always been proud of military and police officers and enlisted men defecting to their ranks. They show these in press conferences, in photo galleries and include these events in their other propaganda campaigns all over the country where they have rebel "fronts".

Retired BGen Ray Jarque, running away from cases left and right of him defected to the CPP-NPA. He became like a guinea pig paraded in so many places by the communists. The AFP General who loves the communists. The General whose love for communists was so great he joined them.  He trained a large number of young people to kill soldiers and ordinary civilians who did not agree with the hardened communists.

Then unfortunately for him, the communists were declared a foreign terrorist organization by world leaders because of overwhelming documentary evidence that they had ordered mass executions, individual assassinations for money or favor, extortions, bombings, laying of anti-personnel mines and other explosive booby traps as well as engage in so many other anti-people acts.

These had qualified their status as real terrorists.

Jarque made motions of "going back to the fold of the law".  He styled himself as only a consultant when he started showing himself to the public.

The he became ambitious.  He determined to go to the U.S.  And he did.  Jarque landed in the U.S. at an airport in Dallas and was identified as a member of the terrorist CPP-NPA. Then he was blocked from entering the mainland at the airport and detained prior to his deportation back to the Philippines. Like any other terrorist. Well, he deserved it.

So now, what is he harping about?

He ought to have been deported to hell.

Here's an example of communist propaganda published in bulatlat com.


AFP Officers Who Crossed the Bridge

Last July 27, nearly 300 soldiers, including 70 junior officers, staged a mutiny in Makati, declaring withdrawal of support from the Armed Forces of the Philippines? chain of command and demanding the resignation of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, AFP chief Angelo Reyes and Intelligence chief Victor Corpus. The military rebels are not however the first officers of the AFP to do so. In fact, Corpus himself gained fame for defying the military establishment in the 1970s ? just like the mutineers. He was among those who left the AFP and crossed over to the other side. Others were: AFP Inspector General Danilo Vizmanos, Lt. Crispin Tagamolila, and Gen. Raymundo Jarque.

BY ALEXANDER MARTIN REMOLLINO
Bulatlat.com

Victor Corpus Corpus was a cadet at the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) when he was first exposed to politics. It was the late 1960s. Demonstrations were rocking the country, and their influence was seeping through the walls of even the PMA, a school that should expectedly be one of the last --if ever--to be influenced by any wave of protest politics.

At the PMA, Corpus led in forming a Social Studies Club, which devoted itself to discussions on social issues. Later on, he and his friends found a way to coordinate and cooperate with activists at the University of the Philippines, with whom he and other PMA cadets influenced by progressive politics participated in teach-ins and even demonstrations.

He graduated from the PMA with honors, and got himself assigned to the Philippine Constabulary. Shortly before the declaration of martial law, Corpus joined the New People's Army (NPA).  He would return to the fold of the military in 1976 through a staged capture.

Corpus was granted amnesty by Corazon Aquino in 1986, after his release from prison. He was also reinstated into the AFP.

In the late 1980s, he blew the whistle on the destabilization attempts by the Honasan clique against the Aquino administration. Honasan and other military rebel leaders had tried to enlist him in their plots.

He also wrote a book called "Silent War," which contains suggestions on how to defeat the revolutionary movement.

Aside from this, he was rarely heard of until 2001, when Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo appointed him chief of the Intelligence Service of the AFP or ISAFP.

Danilo Vizmanos

It is said that former navy captain Danilo Vizmanos is the first military official to go over to the other side of the political fence.

Vizmanos takes pride in having descended from fighters of the 1896 Revolution. According to him, these forebears of his influenced him in a progressive manner.

After the Second World War, he enrolled at the US Merchant Marine Academy, where National Security Adviser Roilo Golez also studied. He graduated in December 1950.

He took part in anti-insurgency operations of the AFP and was later assigned as aide-decamp to the flag officer in command of the navy. He was even sent to Vietnam to check on the Philippine Civic action group, the contribution of the Philippines to the Vietnam War. He became a navy captain in 1971.

As he went up the military ladder, Vizmanos saw the rampant corruption in the Philippine Navy -- something which, incidentally, one of the leaders of the siege in Makati wrote about in two research papers as a masteral student of public administration in UP.

Together with the intrigues among high-ranking officials, this brought him to disillusionment and led him to view the military establishment through an increasingly critical eye. He was also influenced by the views of nationalist statesman Claro M. Recto.

In 1971, as a student of the National Defense College, he wrote a thesis criticizing RP-US relations and proposing the establishment of diplomatic ties with China, then under the leadership of communist revolutionary Mao Zedong.  A journalist friend published an article about his thesis in an afternoon newspaper. He was subsequently subjected to harassment by his superiors. This increased his disillusionment.

In the last months of his military career, Vizmanos frequently spoke in demonstrations, fora and teach-ins against RP-US relations and the Marcos regime. When martial law was declared, he immediately filed his retirement papers.

But martial law did not let him off the hook. He was arrested and heavily tortured.

He is now a main figure of the Samahan ng mga ex-Detainees Laban sa Detensyon at para sa Amnestiya. He continues to be critical of RP-US relations, and is one of the fiercest critics of US-led wars against "terrorism."

Crispin Tagamolila

A brother of Antonio Tagamolila, who was president of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines in the 1960s, Crispin Tagamolila is one of the martyrs and one of the most revered figures of the armed revolutionary movement.

He graduated from the PMA and was a lieutenant when he defected to the NPA on March 29, 1971. As an NPA guerilla, he became known by the nom de guerre Kumander Cely. He was based in Isabela.

The masses whom he was able to get in touch with remember him for his highly affectionate attitude toward them. He was ever ready to help them, always open to learning from their experiences.

People who got to be with both he and Corpus compared them to each other; in their eyes, Tagamolila stood infinitely taller because unlike Corpus, they say, he was never arrogant and dictatorial in his behavior toward comrades and the masses. He never imposed on comrades and the masses the extremely rigid military ?discipline,? which they say Corpus was wont to do.

Tagamolila was killed in an ambush in Isabela on April 1, 1972.

Raymundo Jarque

Raymundo Jarque was at the center of the counter-insurgency operations in Negros in the 1980s.

In 1995, he defected to the NPA due to disenchantment with the government he had served for many years. He showed genuine sincerity and was welcomed into the fold of the underground Left. Jarque apologized to the masses whose lives and properties he destroyed during his years as chief implementor of Oplan Thunderbolt and other military operations that ravaged Negros in the 80s.

When his defection was announced, the military establishment and the public were, to say the least, astounded. He was then already a brigadier general -- so far the highest military official to defect to the revolutionary movement.

Later, he would help in the peace negotiations between the National Democratic Front of the Philippines and the government.

Commonalities, differences

Corpus, Vizmanos, Tagamolila, and Jarque were all military officials when they went over to the other side. There are commonalities and differences among them.

Corpus is now back in the military, actively fighting his former comrades who now revile him.

Tagamolila is hailed as a hero of the underground.

Vizmanos said he has never regretted leaving the Navy and joining the people's movement.

Jarque, though back in mainstream society, appears to have no intention of ever going back to the military fold or that he regrets crossing the bridge. Bulatlat.com

 

Strengthening our political institutions by imbibing the spirit of democracy

By Corazon C. Aquino

The Philippine Star 09/15/2005

(Delivered before Jesuit priests of Ateneo de Manila University during the Misa para sa Katotohanan on Sept. 13, 2005)

Let me first of all thank Fr. Danny Huang, SJ, Fr. Ben Nebres, SJ and all their brother Jesuits as well as the Ateneo community for inviting us today in this Misa para sa Katotohanan.

The past week might be described as a period of heightened confusion. After the dismissal of the impeachment complaint against the President in Congress, concerned citizens seemed at a loss as to what to do next. Should they give up the ghost and go back to "business as usual"? Should they take to the streets? Contemplating either option left them feeling uneasy. Something remains clearly amiss in our society.

 

So you say, Ms. Aquino.  But there is no real heightened confusion. There is no real "questioning", it is merely the rabble-rousing of your group and your recruit, Ms. Susan Roces and the real and visible riotous situation between and among your various organizations in the destabilization group. You cannot seem to agree on your principles, on who will lead the entire movement, on how you and the Marcoses could work together after you had been stabbing them at the back during the Switzerland-R.P. Negotiations for the transfer of the Marcos deposits to the Philippines.

When I sat in the gallery during the congressional privilege hour and when I joined the rally the following day, many were just as befuddled. Text and email messages came thick and fast. What is Cory's agenda, they asked? Why is she allowing herself to be used by this or that political group? Why is she associating with those people – doesn't she realize she's sending the wrong signals?

 

Befuddled?  Your allies in the destabilization group were more than befuddled.  They did not know what to do, except throw dirty accusations, lift the dirty finger and hurl innuendos and comical arguments against the government. Whereas, they had nothing by way of evidence.  All they could come up with was to let the media and the public take peeps at what they considered evidence.  Sadly, evil-intentioned people like you could do anything just to besmirch the government and justify your eventual grab for power.  As for Agenda, you have lots and lots of it.  Ask your mahjong classmates anytime for an Agenda, and they will give you plenty.

To preclude any more confusion on the part of those who insist on deciphering what animates my actions, allow me today to send one signal, loud and clear.

 

Are we confused over your actions?  No!  We knew you sought Ms. Susan Roces immediately after FPJ died.  That speaks a lot of your Agenda, you damned fool.  Please stop playing the Filipino people for idiots!

I am PCCA, Private Citizen Cory Aquino, Filipino. I do not claim to represent anyone's views other than my own. When I take to the streets to express my opinion, I do so with no vain expectations that others will follow my lead. I do not fancy myself as a 72-year-old Pied Piper who can summon the so-called "magic" of People Power. Whether in the company of ten or ten thousand, I will be there if I believe I should let my stand be heard. Those who march beside, behind or in front of me on the streets may hold views and convictions quite different from mine. I have no control over that. Such is the nature of democracy.

 

My Goodness, please don't make too much value of yourself.  You are simply a selfish, dastardly creature who does not even know what democracy means but can recite the piezzas of mahjong in her sleep any place, all the time.

In the light of recent events, now is one good time to share some of my deepest and strongest convictions.

First, I believe in the truth.

We need to lift ourselves from the current state of confusion by seeking moral clarity, by re-affirming our fundamental values. Before we scrutinize personalities and agenda, let us look inward first. Before we try to discern whom to believe, let us be certain about what we believe. Before demanding anything of our leaders, let us first demand it of ourselves. Let us be true to ourselves and to everything that we profess to hold dear.

Unfortunately, we are living in a time of "relative" moral values. The line between good and evil — between black and white — has been blurred into varying shades of gray. Many of us tend to rationalize our moral choices. These days, it seems all right to settle for "the lesser evil," to dismiss wrongdoing simply because everybody else is doing it, or to achieve ostensibly noble ends by whatever means. Is that the value system we want to live by? As a legacy to the next generation of Filipinos, strong core values take precedence over any short-or long-term promise of material prosperity — for any society built on weak moral foundations will not endure.

 

So why don't all of us Filipinos know about your percentages in the side agreements on top of the contracts R.P. signed with Switzerland on the transfer of the Marcos deposits?  Why doesn't every average Juan and Pablo know there were even agreements like these made in the first place?  And why don't you confess like GMA had the courage to do, why you wanted a private, secret, personal account that belonged to you to be used as the sieve or conduit of the Marcos deposits during the course of their transfer to the Philippines?  Who are you, Cory Aquino to become the conduit of money or deposits --- as it were --- that belong to the Filipino people and was obtained by someone whom you had defiled and lambasted each time you had a mike?

 

Second, I believe in democracy.

Twenty years ago, I found myself thrust into a role I did not seek. Against all odds, I consented to run for the presidency primarily because the political opposition at the time needed a candidate to unite around in order to end the Marcos dictatorship and restore our democracy. However, the elections were mired in lying, cheating, stealing, and killing. When the rubber stamp parliament proclaimed Ferdinand Marcos as the winner of the 1986 elections, around one million Filipinos joined me in a rally proclaiming the people's victory and there I launched a non-violent protest movement.

 

Por dios por Santo!  You never won in the elections.  And your cousin killed Ninoy as well as cooperated with Gen. Ver and a faction of the American government to sow turmoil in the Philippines.  You must be beyond idiocy to keep repeating these lies all over and over again.

Our campaign got support from the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines. In their post-election statement then, the bishops declared that "the polls were unparalleled in the fraudulence of their conduct." With full courage they added:

"According to moral principles, a government that assumes or retains power through fraudulent means has no moral basis. For such an access to power is tantamount to a forcible seizure and cannot command the allegiance of the citizenry... If such a government does not of itself freely correct the evil it has inflicted on the people, then it is our serious moral obligation as a people to make them do so."

 

Ergo, allies then, allies now?

After I assumed the presidency, one of my very first official acts was to free all political prisoners, including top officials of the Communist Party. This was an affirmation of my faith that our democracy can only flourish if Filipinos of every creed are given the space to enrich it.

 

Enrich the deaths of the Armed Forces and PC/INP elements?  You bastard.  Your placed the leader of the Communist Party under the private custody of Ninoy's mother.  Would he have agreed to it?  No.  You betrayed the ideals of EDSA by succumbing to advice that was political hogwash.  Why? Because you never understood any of it and believed it to be wonderful just because it was novel to a nincompoop like you.

This came at a steep price for my presidency. Rightist factions in my government perceived my pro-democracy moves as a weakness. Seeing me as being soft on the Left, they mounted a series of coup attempts that undid much of the socio-economic and political gains during the first three years of our reborn democracy. As a result, many of our democratic institutions lost their chance to mature.

 

Why not?  You hated them.  You allowed them to be killed.  You vilified them.  You took away their rights, their budgets, their dignity and honor.  You spat on these venerable institutions from where the defense of freedom in this country had relied upon over the years and centuries.  They had a right to fight back against ogres like you.

We do need to strengthen our political institutions. But before we start tinkering around with our Constitution anew, let us first make sure that we have truly imbibed the spirit of democracy. For no matter how impressive our political structures may become, they will be of little value in the hands of despots and traditional politicians.

 

What?  Are you sure about what you are saying? You changed the Philippine Constitution to suit your family's and your pressure groups' greed and demonic wishes and machinations.

And if there is any single political institution that we need to free from blemish here and now, it is the electoral system. The sanctity of the ballot lies at the heart of democracy because it embodies the voice of the people and confers legitimacy upon those who would govern us. Once this sacred document is smeared or rendered inutile by whatever means, the whole democratic system crumbles.

 

So why did you have you're A-Team of election cheaters who made deals with the so-called "devil" --- the specialists of the late Pres. Marcos in electoral maneuvering?  What is Jun Simon to you?  Carrascoso?  Peping Cojuangco?  You are certainly full of shit.

This brings me to my third point. I believe that in any democracy a public office is a public trust, and none more so than the presidency.

That which you squandered, you have not right to gripe about.  You kept playing mahjong day in and day out, save when there were foreign dignitaries that the state must receive.  What public office public trust are you talking about you carajo!  Simberguenza!  Demoña!

 

Certain allegations have cast serious doubt on the electoral victory of the President in the recent elections. Unfortunately, the only legitimate avenue by which to evaluate that evidence and to vindicate the President —the impeachment process — was abruptly closed. This has severely impaired her credibility and has made it virtually impossible for her to unite and govern the country effectively.

 

Electoral Victory?  So now you are the spokesman of the widow whom you approached after the death of her husband!  Were you there at the precincts when the counting was being done?  Everyone, that is, Everyone, wanted to cheat on FPJ!  Why?  Because he could not afford to run in the elections much less to pay watchers before and after  the counting of the ballots.  And you blame the President for having cheated?  FPJ's people were cheating all over Metro Manila, for the love of you demon!  They also had selected bailiwicks where they did everything to cheat.  But the might of the people placed HE PGMA at Malacañang.  They love her, more than the communists used to love you and perhaps now want to use you and therefore proclaim their affections for you.

 

Who will eventually be answerable for making the government fail in uniting the people and pursuing good governance?  It's you and your monstrous lot.  You hideous Satanistic group that are promoting division and war.  Mongrels in a society that is growing in intellect and maturity.  You are misplaced.  You should be exiled back to the Dark Ages.

 

Last July 8, I made a plea for the President to make the supreme sacrifice of resigning from office. I still hold that to be the least painful constitutional path out of our present political crisis. To be clear, I am not demanding her resignation nor prejudging her guilt. But I am firm in my believe that she owes her countrymen more than just a vague and legally calibrated apology for what she had termed a "lapse in judgment."

 

Why sacrifice?  Because you want to control the loot?  You want to be there at the top when the Marcos deposits will be divvied up or you  might not get a share?  Shame on you!!!  You thieved and lied and engaged in the dirtiest extra curricular acts and made a derelict showing as President by merely engaging in your addiction to mahjong instead of caring for the people.  And you have the gall to ask an incumbent President who is doing her utmost to serve the people, to resign?  You must be beyond shame, soulless and stupid!

My fellow Filipinos, democracy often demands that each of us make a stand, to take risks – just as I am doing now. I know that I am antagonizing some quarters who believe that I should just let things be. I know that my critics will revive familiar caricatures of me as a naive housewife with no political savvy. I can live with all that, after all, enduring those brickbats is a small price to pay for what I believe in my heart to be a just and noble cause.

 

Naïve housewife?  No you are not, but you are an inconsequential nincompoop with a great hunger for money, the good life, forever mahjong sessions, large objets d' art like those of your former lovers', and a child who is just like you off screen and on screen, which is probably not her fault but had merely been contaminated by you.

I am well aware of my shortcomings as a human being, which is why I always seek God's intercession. And I enjoin all of you to join me in prayer, introspection and discernment. Not one of us has all the answers – we must always seek divine guidance to find the right path.

 

Why?  But of course you must be, because you represent the worst kind of shortcoming present in a human being, beast or mammal.  But invoking divine things is way, way out of your league.  So just stop that!

I shall go to visit and pray in as many of our churches and schools. For the right answer as to where duty lies from here on, is surely to be found wherever people are gathered in God's name. For that was His promise.

 

Pray?  Recruit for destabilization?  Are they the same?  You should be struck by lightning thrice over for lying like that.  And for using the name of God in vain.

In the same spirit, I also urged you to act with greater compassion toward the poor in these difficult times. While the political uncertainty persists, we all know that the most vulnerable sectors of our society will be the hardest hit by its economic consequences. This is why I am helping mobilize multi-sectoral support toward microfinance projects and other initiatives to empower the poor. These efforts on the part of thousands of selfless Filipinos, I believe, is the new dimension of People Power that we need to nurture. As we move along this track, I am confident that we will not only find a way to strengthen our democracy but hopefully discern the compassionate hand of God and rediscover the values that truly give meaning to our lives.

 

What political uncertainty?  What mobilize for projects?  You shithead.  Go back to your mahjong and go shit on your mahjongera, mahjongero classmates and stop fiddling with our lives.  You have done enough damage to the country in your incumbency when everytime you suffered your dyslexic attacks, anyone, albeit any Tom, Dick and Harry would shove any piece of paper for you to sign while your fingers did the signing although your mind was dead.

 

Allow me to end with this prayer, Almighty God, have mercy on us and bless us with Your love and peace. Give us the intelligence, the fortitude, the patience and the strength to acquit ourselves well in this present trial of our democracy.

 

God bless all of us!  Thank you and good evening.

 

May the Lord God punish you interminably, exile you to Hell, bar you from Heaven and make you rot in your clothes and undies while you are still living!

 

Bitch!!!

 

Amen!!!

the maricon should be ashamed.  and his and mr. estrada's "bosom" friend: teresita ang-see.  what is "he-she" (the maricon ) and "her-his" fellows with uncertain gender friends like that Cuzcharitas Cruchitaz and Antoniae Tuwiadz and with lady lovers like Theoudoury Vakaine et al making exposés and all sorts of noises about when they can't even explain their own more abhorring forms of immorality and corruption:

•   the jueteng and kidnap-for-ransom money from the parohinogs?

•  victimizing male children for their below normal profligacy and immoral excesses.

 

•  the exceedingly huge bribes and skim from drug trafficking syndicates and irregular drug operations - among many others.

 

the question is how long have the maricon and his "sisters" been tied together by their very intestines?  since when all the hoards of money were still flowing freely?

that is the million dollar question.

 

 

Questions on assets to confront Lacson
GOTCHA By Jarius Bondoc
The Philippine Star 09/05/2005

Wednesday 2 p.m. in California (Thursday 5 a.m. in Manila) is Sen. Panfilo Lacson's moment of reckoning. Faced with a bench warrant, he must show up at the Superior Court in Alameda County to pay damages of $31,262 to a Filipino-American businesswoman, whose handcuff supply to the Philippine National Police he had reneged as its chief in 1999. Paying up is the easy part. Lacson's office announced last week that friends in the US would advance part of the equivalent of P1.7 million. That may not be the end of it, though. The controversial politician is also under the judge's order to explain how he intends to recompense Blanquita Pelaez with clean money. On pain of contempt of court, he must submit bank statements, real estate titles, business books, car registrations, stock certificates, insurance policies, and other proof of wealth – in compliance with US money-laundering laws. That could unravel details of Lacson's alleged hidden wealth that a Senate inquiry in 2001 did not disclose.

Pelaez's lawyer Rodel Rodis gives a preview of what is to come, in an article written for Fil-Ams entitled "Questions to Ask Lacson." Excerpts:

"Lacson apparently doesn't like me. In interviews with Manila dailies and radio stations on Aug. 20, he called me a liar for telling an ABS-CBN reporter that Judge Barbara Miller had issued a bench warrant for him. He insisted this wasn't true. Unfortunately for him, the TV reporter (Christi Morales) was present in court on Aug. 17 when Judge Miller rejected the excuses of Lacson's counsel for why he didn't show up at the hearing. The judge then ordered that a bench warrant be issued. The warrant would be withheld until Sept. 7, Judge Miller said, when Lacson will be given a final opportunity to appear in court to answer questions about his assets.

"Assuming he will appear at the hearing to lift the bench warrant, I will finally be able to ask Lacson what I was going to ask him on Mar. 5, 2003, the date the first order of examination (OEX) that I applied for on Jan. 13, 2003. I had personally served Lacson the OEX at a Manila TV talk show called Strictly Politics on Jan. 21, 2003.

"In that TV program Lacson had publicly declared he was willing to go to the Superior Court on Mar. 5 to answer my questions under oath. It would be a chance to clear the record, he said. But the senator then did everything he could to void or avoid the OEX hearing. He retained lawyers in San Francisco to set aside the default judgment I had obtained against him.

"Over the last two-and-a-half years since then, Lacson's lawyers tried to throw out the case for lack of jurisdiction, but succeeded only in reducing the amount of the judgment. After the matter had gone through various hearings and submissions of innumerable briefs, the judgment against defendant Panfilo Lacson remained. I was finally able to apply to the court for another OEX to compel Lacson to appear in court to answer my questions under oath.

"Lacson was served the OEX on Aug. 1, 'sneakily' he claimed, but in conformity with California law. He was required to appear in court on Aug. 17 and he didn't; thus, the bench warrant.

"Lacson has once again announced that he is willing to appear in court on Sept. 7 to answer all my questions. And once again, I believe, he will do everything to avoid it. But if Lacson does show up, I am prepared to ask him questions about his assets.

"I will ask him about the home he purchased on 1011 Laguna Seca Loop in Chula Vista, California, on Mar. 1, 1996. Where did he get the money to buy it? When he sold it on July 20, 1999, where did he deposit the proceeds? Did he then buy the property on 2305 Sea Island Place in Chula Vista? What other properties did he purchase?

"According to his Apr. 22, 1996 bank statement, Lacson had two bank accounts in his name at a Bank of America branch in Rancho Cordova, California. One was an interest checking account (17471-00188), the other a regular savings account (17478-00046), together totaling $104,793.26. His Oct. 23, 1996 bank statement showed that his two accounts had risen to $178,544.88. In 1996 Lacson was chief of the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission. What was his salary then? After he closed these two bank accounts, where did he transfer his funds?

"On Nov. 13, 2000, Lacson remitted $100,000 to his wife Alice at her Bank of America account in Woodman Sherman branch, Van Nuys, California, through the Bank of New York. Two days later on Nov. 15 the amount of $49,980 was sent by Teresita Go to her same Bank of America account through HSBC Bank in New York. On Nov. 27, $149,980 was remitted to her same account also through HSBC-New York. On Dec. 26 another $144,339.62 was again remitted to the same account through the Bank of New York. Where did all this money come from and what happened to it?

"On Jan. 8, 2001, Lacson's wife had two Bank of America accounts (24306-01369 and 24301-01390) totaling $356,464.54. Where did this money come from?

"Four months later on May 8, 2001, these same accounts had $251,174.25 left. From these two accounts on June 5, 2001, Lacson's wife withdrew $246,199.25. Where was this money transferred?

"From that Bank of America account, Lacson's wife made two checks to purchase two Toyota Sequoia SUVs from Longo Toyota in Sacramento, one on Dec. 3, 2000 for $50,000, the other on Dec. 27, 2000 also for $50,000. Where are these SUVs now?

"On Dec. 27, 2000, Lacson's wife formed a limited liability company called Orient Light LLC, with corporate papers filed with the California Secretary of State on Jan. 8, 2001. On Mar. 16, 2001, Lacson's wife made two checks to Orient Light Freight Intl. Inc. (Nos. 106 and 107), each in the amount of $50,000. On Apr. 6, 2001, Alice filed a statement of information on Orient Light LLC as 'President/CEO' of the limited liability company. This was filed in Sacramento on Apr. 10, 2001. Are Orient Light LLC and Orient Light Freight Intl. Inc. the same or are they two separate entities? Do Lacson and wife still have an interest in these two businesses?

"On Mar. 14, 2001, Lacson's wife withdrew $100,000 from her Bank of America account No. 24301-01390. Where was this money transferred?

"Earlier on Mar. 8, 2001, a Wells Fargo Bank account (201-8575365) was opened in the name of Orient Light LLC, with the account signatories listed as Robert Co, president, and Alice, vice president. On Apr. 17, 2001, the monthly statement of this bank account showed an ending balance of $200,098. What happened to the assets of this LLC? Is this LLC still operating?

"On Sept 7 I will grill Lacson about his assets. His lawyers may pose objections. In the end he will be required to answer my questions.

"Will Lacson appear for his OEX on Sept. 7?"
