Mutiny in the Marines

Ay, si Querubin pala nag-sabi niyan… 😉

To borrow a few phrases from the Declaration of Independence…..

But when a long train of abuses and usurpation, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security

[…] Just two days after the foiled coup d’ etat attempt (or what was so reported), we have more news of unrest, as disgruntled Marines are airing their dismay at the Administration. Members of “civil society” are trooping to the Marine headquarters at Fort Bonifacio in a show of support, even as police and military personnel have been ordered to disallow them, particularly former president Corazon C. Aquino, from entering the premises. […]

BenignO,
Ano naman ang masasabi mo sa mga Tongressmen na nabili ni Arroyo, sa pagpilipit ng impeachment atbp. Bakit di ko yaty kinukundena ang mga kamalian ng gobyerno ni Arroyo? Can you please be ‘FAIR’.
One- sided ka rin naman eh!

nutty politicians, sloganeering activists, and clueless civilians

— add to that fence sitters, defeatists, and my personal favorite fault finders and finger pointers.. =) we are indeed a nutty country aint we..

excure me im no opposition.. im against all politicians who squander millions of our money yet are not held accountable for it.. ikaw ba pag pinahiram moko ng 10,000 nalang at nawala ko di ka kaya magagalit?? o magsasalita man lang? hmmm

paglakas ng piso at stock exchange

jr_lad,

eh kung halimbawa mang bago lang kami nagpopost..does that mean na mas magaling ka at tama ka kasi matagal ka na dito? siguro sayo n lang ako dapat magtanong kung magaling ka.. Sino ang gusto mong ipalit?

etong mga pro glue-ria rin pag nakikitang kinakalaban ang idolo nila sasabihin na kaagad mga pakawala ng oposisyon. may mga personal agenda, mga tuta ni erap at kung ano-ano pa. issue ang pinag-uusapan dito. ang kalokohang pinaggagawa ng idolo nyo. si cory ba oposisyon? si fvr oposiyon (dahil tinitira na si glue-ria), ang hyatt 10 ba oposisyon? ang civil society ba oposisyon? ang senate oposisyon? si randy david ba oposiyon? ang makati business club oposisyon? ang media oposisyon? may mga hidden agenda sa pagtuligsa kay glue-ria at sa demanda na magresign eto. sa pagkakatanda ko etong mga tao at grupong eto ay puro nasa side ni glue-ria noon at siyang nagloklok saa kanya sa puesto. at sa pagkakatanda ko pa rin lahat ng tao maliban sa totoong oposisyon ay tinanggap ang pagkapanalo ni glue-ria sa nakaraang eleksyon. pero yan ay bago pumutok ang hello garci tapes scandal. sino ang dapat sisihin sa mga kaganapang nangyayari ngayon? puede bang basta-basta na lang kakalas ng suporta ang mga taong eto kay glue-ria na walang dahilan? mga bugok ba ang pag-iisip ng mga taong eto at nagpapadala sa solsol ng mga oposisyon na kinabibilangan ni erap at marcos para lang matanggal sa puesto etong si glue-ria at ng sila na ang pumalit? tanong ko lang.

your giving too much credit for these people.. and so what kung kumalas sila ng suporta kay GMA,pare pareho lng naman kami may tig-iisang boto ah. The only advantage they is the media, at ako makuntento na lang sa pcij blog para iere ang side ko. Kahit pagkumpul kumpulin mo pa sa EDSA mga yan, you can’t erase the fact na walang masyadong sumasamang taumbayan sa kanila.

Hey scud,

I would have had respected and recognized Gloria as president and would have dad supported her even if I didn’t vote for her, if she didnt cheat, if governed well, if she had uplifted the lives of the filipino. But she failed us. She’s the one seting a very bad precendent to all of us, to our children, to our our future leaders that cheating, lying and stealing are ok or acceptable norms in our society..

scud,

There would be no clean election in the future if we don’t resolve or correct this crisis of legitimacy. Sorry scud, i can’t bite the bullet. Scud, in as much as you want peace and to move on, you wont find one. You’re in this blog perhaps to contribute in the peaceful resolution of this problem, but you won’t be able to with GLORIA at the helm.

scud,
because we wont allow you to. we will force her to step down even if we have to wait for a long haul.

Tanong ko lang sa inyo, ” kung lumalakas ang piso at gumaganda ang ekonimiya, bakit kaya patuloy ang pagtaas ng mga bilihin at laong lumalala ang kahirapan”?

The gap between the poor and the rich is so huge today. We all try to do our share to help the country kasi yun ang tungkulin ng bawat Pilipino, but sad to say, mahirap din naman yung tayo na lang ang bubuhat ng pasaning ito, habang ang pamahalaan ay walang pakundangsng winawaldas ang ating mga pinaghirapan. To be able to project a good image abroad, our government must be good first. Hindi puwede yung puro pa-pogi lang, kailangan magpakabuti din ang mga leaders natin. The government must be transparent to the people they serve. Kaya tayo nagkakaganito ay dahil sa “takipan” ng mga katiwalian sa pamahalaan.

To say that only through elections would we find a good leader is no assurance either. Remember that an election is also a gamble as we don’t really know the real “persona” of the one’s we elect into office.
Para yang mag-syota na pag nakasal na dun palang lumalabas ang tunay na paguugali.

simple lang naman ang tanong ko eh … answerable by YES or NO ( or DEPENDS ) …. pasensiya na at mababa lang ang aking karunungan hindi ko kayang makikipagtalo sa inyo pagdating sa mga prinsipyo .

[…] COLONEL Ariel Querubin, the Marine officer who figured in yesterday’s seven-hour standoff in protest of the supposed voluntarily relief of his commandant, Maj. Gen. Renato Miranda, at the Marines headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, is no ordinary soldier. […]

[…] The list, however, does not include Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim, who the military said was a leader of the aborted attempted "withdrawal of support" from the Arroyo government that took place last Friday. Also excluded from the list is Col. Ariel Querubin, the commander of the 1st Marine Brigade, who admitted in yesterday’s standoff at Fort Bonifacio that he had intended to join last Friday’s protests. […]

Sa tingin ko dito yung mga masyadong kampi kay gloria, ay alam mo na, it’s either directly or indirectly sila nakikinabang sa gobyerno ni gloria, Like may mga kamag-anak sila na naka-puesto at nagpapayaman, sorry , nakikinabang. I even suspect that some of them are actually Philippine embassy employees, especially those flaunting to be in this or that foreign country. Yun pala pakawala ng illegal CHEAT EXECUTIVE.

Nasasabi ko lang ito, because I know somebody who is a staff in one of the Malacanang Under-Secretary (Kuno), who would re-act violently when-ever we say something against their patron.

Typical na reaction yan ng mga nakikinabang sa administration. Either magwawala, or will call the critics names and what have you. Na-experience ko yan.
So fellow bloggers, understand na lang natin sila, baka pagnagkataon, sisihin pa nila tayo pag nawala si gloria sa palasyo at mawala ang CANDIES nila.

When it comes to principles, well debatable yan, kasi po, may mga prinsipyong bulag, baloktut, bayaran, balimbing, matino, matuwid, malabo at hubad.

Yan lang po, nakikilahok at umuunawa,
Loka-lokang Matino.

[…] It will be recalled that Allaga’s surprise appointment as Marine commandant sparked a protest among the ranks of the elite unit, leading to the seven-hour standoff in Fort  Bonifacio last February 26. […]

[…] If it was right for the Armed Forces in 1986 and in 2001 to intervene in the political sphere, why was it wrong in February 2006? […]
