Si Fidel Ramos, ang 'Rizal Day Bombings' at ang Kalbong Agila

MGA panatikong Muslim na terorista kaya ang may sala sa pagsabog ng Bus sa EDSA o si TABAKO, katulad ng F-I-D-E-L bombings noong Rizal Day 2000???? 

Ang mga pagsabog sa iba't ibang bahagi ng Metro Manila kabilang ang LRT noong Disyembre 30, 2000--kalagitnaan ng "Erap Resign" Movement na pinamumunuan nina dating Pangulong Ramos at Pangulo Cory Aquino, noon ay Bise-Presidente Gloria Arroyo at Cardinal Jaime Sin, at mga elit na negosyante at opisyal ng militar--ay kumitil sa buhay ng nasa 22 Pilpino at nagdulot ng kapinsalaan sa mahigit 100 pang katao. Ito ay dali-daling isinisi nila Ramos at Cory sampu ng "civil" evil society, ng mga nagpapatanggal kay Pangulong Joseph "Erap" Estrada sa administrasyon ng huli.

Ayon kay Herman Tiu-Laurel, mukhang ang talaga daw may pakana sa Rizal Day Bombings na sinisisi sa ilang Muslim na terorista ay si dating Pangulongf Fidel V. Ramos at mga puwersang anti-Erap.

When one tries to put together stories of the F-I-D-E-L bombings of nine years, other questions cannot help but be raised: Why were the anti-Erap forces seemingly anticipating some big thing during that period? Why were there not only fingerprints of the MILF, but also the AFP and PNP’s all over the operations of Al Ghozi and company, while FVR’s goodwill over these groups run the gamut of favors, including the Narciso Ramos Highway, which became the MILF’s turf? And why were juicy promotions given to major Edsa II police players, such as Ebdane and Mendoza, when all of them allegedly figured prominently in the mysteries that attended that day’s sinister conspiracy?

F-I-D-E-L bombings: Nine years later
http://www.tribuneonline.org/commentary/20091228com4.html

Nang mapatalsik na ng mga conspirators at mga estups sa EDSA 2 si Pangulong Erap ay matagal pa bago natukoy daw ng awtoridad kung sino ang may pakana ng krimen.  Bago naalis sa pwesto ang halal na si Estrada, lumabas sa imbestigasyon ng kanyang pamahalaan ng ang Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). Sa sumunod na pamahalaan ni Arroyo ay inabot ng may maraming taon bago isinara ang kaso.Noong 2003 ay may nahuling isang kasapi ng special operations ng MILF at umaming may kinalaman sa isang antas ng mga pambobomba noong Rizal Day ng 2000. Kinasuhan ito ng maraming kaso ng pagpatay at tangkang pagpatay subalit' makaraan ang tatlong taon ay nilinis ng pamahalaan ni Arroyo ang pangalan ng MILF, gayun din ang MNLF, dahil ang teroristang grupong Jemaah Islamiyah raw ang may pakana talaga sa pambobomba. Tatlong kasapi ng grupo ang hinatulang may sala at pinarusahan ng hanggang 20 taon ng pagkakabilanggo noong 2009.

May hustisya nga kayang nakamit sa naging imbestigasyon at hatol ukol sa Rizal Day Bombings? Patuloy na may mga nagdududa kung taga Jemaah Islamiya nga ba ang may pakana ng karumal-dumal na mga pambobombang iyon. Bakit dalawang beses natukoy ang MILF sa magkaibang imbestigasyon ng pamahalaan, may umamin pa nga at sa huli ay napawalang-sala rin? Natatandaan ko na noong inilabas ng Philippine National Police sa ilalim noong ni PNP Chief Panfilo Lacson ang resulta ng imbestigasyon ay ibinalik pa ng MILF ang sisi sa pamahalaan ni Estrada na para bang synchronized sa mga gustong magpabagsak kay Erap noon. 

Subali't mukhang may mga  itinatagong katotohanan ukol sa Rizal Day Bombings. Mukhang may kinalaman ang ilang shadowy operators sa militar o pulis sa mga pangyayari dahil isang security guard ng LRT at tatay ng isa sa mga biktima, si Crisel Acusin, ang nagsabing isang linggo bago ang pangyayari ay biglang inalis ang serbisyo ng bomb-sniffing na mga aso.  Dagdag pa, sabi nga daw ng isang opisyal ng isang Muslim na non-governmental organization o NGO, mga "fall guys" daw ang hinuli, kinasuhan, at hinatulan sa kaso.

Nguni't ano ang kinalaman ni Fidel "Tabako" Ramos dito? Maaring ginamit nila Ramos ang pagsabog noong Araw ni Rizal para sa destabilization efforts sa pamahalaang Estrada. Si Ramos ay hinahabol ng pamahalaang Estrada doon in connection with the Centennial Expo Scam. Dagdag pa, si Ramos ay kilalang galit kay Erap. It is no secret how Ramos strongly disapproved of Estrada's ascendancy as President. In 1999, a Senate Blue Ribbon investigation produced the testimony indicating that the people at the Centennial Exposition project were asking contractors for LAKAS campaign contributions because they were "desperate in (sic) coming up with all means and money to prevent Erap from winning in the elections."

Tandaan na ang mga nagpatalsik kay Erap ay matatas na opisyal ng exehutibo, Korte Suprema, militar at pinamumunuan nga nina Ramos, Aquino, at Arroyo. AT may isa pang pwersang nasa likod ng sedisyon ng EDSA 2 at ito ay hindi basta-basta--ang Estados Unidos. Si Ramos ang Pangulong masasabing pinakamalapit sa imperyalista lIban kay Presidente Ramos Magsasay at maaring ito ang operator ng U.S. para mapatalsik si Erap.

Mayroong ilang pagtutukoy na makikita ukol sa papel ng Kalbong Agila sa EDSA 2. Isang iginagalang na mamamahayag ang nagsiwalat ukol sa kinalamang ng Kalbong Agila sa pagpapatalskik kay Estrada ay si G. Luis Teodoro, na isa ring dating dean ng College of Mass Communication ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas. Ayon kay Teodoro: "Gloria Macapagal -Arroyo came to power in 2001 with the help of the US and its local allies in the Church, the military and the business community." Medyo nakakagulat, sa totoo, ang isinulat na ito ni Teodoro dahil siya ay kilalang galit o ayaw kay Estrada subali't beterano na sa pamamahayag, maraming "sources" at mapagkakatiwalaan ang ngayon ay kolumnista rin ng Business World at Bulatlat.

Ang isa pa ay ang kaduda-dudang sobrang accuracy ng 1999 na prediksyon ng isang Amerikanong private 'intelligence' firm, ang Stratfor (Strategic Forecasting) sa pagbagsak ng pamahalaang Estrada. Sinabi ba naman ng Stratfor na hindi raw makakatapos ng termino si Erap at ma-i-impeach daw ito. Ang predikson ng Stratfor na ito ay noong Nobyembre 1999 nang wala pang jueteng expose ni Chavit Singson at lalong wala pang impeachment court!  Mahirap paniwalaang 'intelligence' na kaalaman lamang ito dahil daig pa propeta sa pagiging bullsyes. Sabihin pa, makaraang ang dalawang taon mula pagpapatalsik kay Erap ay naglabas ng balita ang Daily Tribune (Abril 7, 2002) na nagtutukoy kina Ramos at dating national security adviser nito na si Jose Almonte ay "in the thick of providing Stratfor with the information predicting the fall of then President Estrada…” 

Maaring ang mismo pamahalaang ng Kalbong Agila, or at least the dreaded Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), ang gumamit sa Stratfor para mag.foment ng destabilization. Maari ri namang ang kampo lang ni Ramos ang gumamit dito. O kaya ay maaring maagkasabwat ang Estados Unidos at sina Ramos. Bakit kanyo? Dahil si Tabako, sabi nga ng isang retiradong militar na aking kaibigan sa isang social networking site, ay isang pasimpleng Amboy mula't sapul ng career o paghahasa sa military career nito. 

Nag-aral at nagtapos ng apat na kurso si Fidel Ramos sa West Point (United States Military Academy) noong ang tatay nito ay Ambassador to the US. Tapos, bago bago pa lang ito sa Philippine Army ay pinadala na naman sa Estados Unidos para sa dagdag na pagdalubhasa-- mag-specialize sa SPECIAL FORCES nang ito ay magtapos ng Special Forces/Pay Operations/Airborne sa Fort Bragg, North Carolina (kung saan matatagpuan ang Psychological Warfare Center na ngayon ay (now U.S. Army Special Operations Command ). Pagkatapos niya dito ay binuo niya ang Philippine Army Special Forces Company (Airborne) noong Hunyo 1962,  na isang elit na paratroop unit na bihasa hindi lang sa 'community development' kundi sa paglaban sa mga rebeldeng komunista. 

Kaya nga itong si Tabako ang 'Father of Special Forces' at maging ng 'Jungle Fighters' sa buong Hukbong Sandatahan ng Pilipinas hanggang maging Chief of Staff ito. Kasama at "bayani" pa nga raw ito ng Philippine Expeditionary Forces to Korea (PEFTOK) na isang Cold War na contingent ng Kalbong Agila noong Korean War. Isa pang pagtututang pagsisilbing ginawa nito para sa imperyalistang Estados Unidos ay bilang kasapi ng Philippine Civic Action Group, Republic of Vietnam (Second PHILCAGV) noong Vietnam War. Dagdag pa, naging kasapi o kasapi rin itong si Ramos ng tinatawag na CARLYLE Group, ang isa sa pinakamalaking defense contractor ng Estados Unidos na may interes sa Asia. Ayon sa manunulat na si Dan Briody: "Carlyle has established itself as the gatekeeper between private business interests and U.S. defense spending. And as the Carlyle investors watched the World Trade towers go down, the group's prospects went up."

Sa madaling salita, maaring si Ramos ang operator o isa sa mga pangunahing operator ng Estados Unidos upang mapadali ang pagpapatalsik kay Estrada mula 1999 (o mula pagkakaupo pa siguro nito matapos ang halalan ng 1998). Ang Rizal Day Bombings ay isa sa mga pangyayaring naghasik daw ng takot sa mga foreign investors, maliban pa sa mga Pilipino mismo, noong kasagsagan ng seditious na pagkilos upang tanggalin si Erap sa puwesto. Subali't malalaman pa kaya ng taumbayan kung sino talaga ang may pakana ng karumal-dumal na terorismong iyon taon pa naman sa kabayanihan ni Gat Jose Rizal? Sabi nga ni Ka Mentong:

‎In the final analysis, the question that matters is “Cui bono?” or “Who benefits?” It is clear that all the Edsa II players benefited and to this day do not want the real questions answered. No wonder mainstream media are also silent about this....XXXX

Will we ever get to the truth while an Edsa II government remains in power?

Kahibangan ang "Imperyalistang" bansag sa Red China

Updated May 22, 2012

Kalabanin ang Pambubuyo ng Kalbong Agila

May mga HIBANG na Propaganda na nagsasabi na ang Tsina raw ang Imperyalista. LOL. Utang na loob....Wala, WALANG Record ng Pananakop ng Sovereign na Bansa ang Red China. Ang mga posturings o ano nito ay sa mga isla lamang na may historical claim daw ito. Klaro. :)

At least that is the case as of now. Maaring in the future ay maging imperyalista rin ang Tsina pero sa ngayon ay malinis ang record nito hindi tulad ng Kalbong Agila. Kahit sa UN Security Souncil, laging no interference ang boto o polisiya ng Tsina hindi tulad ng United States na marami nang kinatay na mga nasyon.... Ewan ko nga ba kung bakit hindi makita ng iba yung napakalaking kriminal de bully diyan. Nakasuot lang ng  tupa de.mala.diyos na damitan ang US eh hindi na makita ang sangkaterbang krimen nito.

Binubuyo lang ng damuhng Kalbong Agila ang ating bansa upang pumasok sa isang madugo at napakadelikadong giyera sa Tsina. Bago nagiingay si BS Aquino de Hocus Pcos laban sa Tsina as he invoked United States military help daw ay mapayapang nangingisda ang mga Pinoy at Instik sa Scarborough shoal. 

‎Until the Philippine government started arresting Chinese fisherfolk at Scarborough shoal, Filipino fisherfolk living near and fishing at the rich shoal told a TV interview that they and the Taiwanese and Chinese fisherfolk have all been fishing together in that shoal. There was no enmity and tension, based on their accounts. Some fisherfolk even said that at times, when they have no catch yet, those Chinese or Taiwanese fisherfolk would even share with them their catch. All the Filipino fisherfolk pray is that they will not be barred from fishing in the shoal.

 

Fomenting anti-Korean, anti-Chinese sentiments meant to justify increased US presence?

Noong bandang Enero pa ng taong ito napansin ng mga progresibo na ginagamit ang isyu sa Spratlys para itulak ang interes ng Estados Unidos, partikular ang presensyang militar nito.Matapos na matapos bumisita si Bald Eagle State Secretary Hillary Clinton at mga senador nila sa bansa ay umalingawngaw ang balitang nais ng imperyalista ng greater US military presence sa Pilipinas. AT kasunod nito ay ang maingay at sunod-sunod na pagbatikos sa Tsina, na kesyo lulusubin daw tayo. Noong Enero, 2012 pa ang balitang ito:

Instead of taking a negotiating position, the Aquino government is now practically begging the US to increase the number of rotating troops in the country from the current 600 US Special Forces soldiers at any given time, and to make more frequent the conduct of joint military exercises. The Aquino government is justifying this by raising the specter of a potential conflict with China over the Spratly islands, and declaring that the US would aid the Philippines in case war erupts.

 Why beg for an increase in US military presence?

Dapat syempre ipaglaban natin ang bahaging iyon ng teritoryo pero katulad ng ibang bansang claimants, daanin sa diplomasya at huwag magpabuyo sa isang bigger and much more dangerous bully. ... provocative ang pinaggagagawa VFA ngayon.... It will hurt us kung dadanak na naman ang dugo ng mga ordinaryong sundalo hindi naman para sa tunay na interes natin kasi malamang lumaki iyan at gawin pang excuse for greater US military presence until maulit ang nangyaring Bald Eagle occupation isang siglo na ang nakaraan.

Binubuyo lang talaga tayo ng imperyalistang Amerika sa giyera, sa isang proxy war, sa kapitbahay nating Tsina para siguro maging dahilan upang makipag-giyera ito sa Tsina at pwersahang mabura ang bilyon o trilyon nitong utang sa huli. Bakit gugustuhin nating mga Pilipino na dumanak ang dugo over those disputed territories? Ilang dekada na ang isyu na iyan hindi nag.e.escalate sa crisis na antas at pinaguusapan at diplomasya ang pinaiiral kahit na astang siga ang Tsina.... until the CIA-installed Hocus Pcos "President" BS Aquino came along and those Bald Eagle officials came to visit and made the A_Noy wag his tutatsing tail.........

Bakit papasok sa giyera? Sinakop na ba tayo ng Tsina????? May pinatay na ba sa atin sa konteksto ng pananakop? MAGHUNOS DILI tayo dahil buhay ng mga kapwa natin ang pinapain ninyo sa isang kalokohang at hindi dapat na giyera. Isipin DIN NA , TAYO LANG sa lahat ng claimant countries sa mga disputed territories na iyan ang gustong giyerahin ang Tsina. Ang matapang na Vietnam na tumalo sa Kalbong Agila noong dekada 1960s at 1970s, ayaw rin makipag-giyera laban sa Tsina! That should strongly indicate that the imperialist United States is behind all these.

Kung gusto ninyo ng giyera, kung gusto ninyong dumanak ang dugo, ang giyerahin ninyo ay ang Kalbong Agila na napakarami nang pinatay sa atin, some 1.5 million directly and indirectly during the Philippine-American War (1899-1914) AT ni HINDI humingi ng DISPENSA...... at nagpatuloy at nagpapatuloy pa... si Sen. Claro M. Recto, si Gregan Cardeno, etc.... at mga Pilipinang hinalay ng kanilang mga imoral na sundalo nguni't palaging natatakbuhan ang sakop ng katarungan. Magpatulong tayo sa Tsina o Rusya............ ganyan ang gawain ng mga war freak o mga nagpapauto sa Kalbong Agila.

Buksan ang mga mata. Ang Kalbong Agila, kaaway at pumatay sa milyong Pilipino (directly & indirectly) sa pagnanakaw ng ating lupain at kalayaan, ang hanggang ngayon ay nag.bubully sa ating Inang Bayan.... Tsina? Potensyal o hypothetical na bully pa lamang. Definitely lesser evil.... uulitin ko, wala pa pong napapatay kahit isang Pilipino ang Tsina sa konteksto ng military posturing.

Diamanteng Kaarawan ng TUNAY na Pangulo, Joseph 'Erap' Estrada

Ngayong araw, ABRIL 19, 2012, ang ika-75 na kaarawan ni PANGULONG JOSEPH "ERAP" ESTRADA. Diamanteng Anibersaryo ng Kaarawan, ika nga. At hindi "dating Pangulo" ang dapat na itawag kundi TUNAY na Pangulo.

At siya pa rin ang aking Pangulo, ako na dati ay isang Dilawan (bukas naman ang isip), dati na kasama sa mga medyo nangii-insulto sa kanya dahil, umaamin ako, ay biktima ako ng propaganda ng mga kontra-pelo sa bayan. Bakit kanyo si Erap pa rin ang tinuturing ko Pangulo? Dahil siya, na walang dudang inihalal noong Eleksyon ng 1998, ay tinanggal ng isang masamang conspiracy ng mga sakim na mangaagaw ng kapangyarihan mula sa hanay ng Arroyo/Dilaw, elitistang business people, may basbas ng Kalbong Agila (check out the uncannily accurate 1999 prediction by US "intelligence" firm Stratfor of Erap's downfall), at sinamahan pa ng mga pansamantala yatang naligaw na taga-Kaliwa noong EDSA 2......


 

Noon nakaraan namang Mayo 10, 2010, inihalal lamang ng Hocus Pcos ang kasalukuyang nakaupo sa Malacanang na si "Pangulong" A_Noy BS Aquino, halalal sa conspiracy CIA at ng dating Hello Garci "Pangulo" Gloria Arroyo y Dorobo (Itanong n'yo po sa militante de prinsipyo na si Ka Joma Sison; tungkol sa Hocus Pcos, tanungin n'yo po ang equally beprincipled na si Sen. Jamby Madrigal, Nicanor Perlas, JC de los Reyes, at senatorial candidate nito na si Bb. Grace Rinoza-Plazo).

Maligayang Kaarawan Pangulong Joseph Erap Estrada. Ikaw ang tunay na Pangulo ko at ng marami rami sigurong Pilipino. Kahit na ho hindi mo ipinaglaban ang talagang sa iyo, ang tunay na hatol ng bayan noong Mayo 2010, ikaw ang Pangulo ko..... Mabuhay ang Pilipinas/Tagalog/Taga-Ilog! Mabuhay ka Pangulong Erap!

Isang pagbabalik-tanaw mula sa mga artikulo kong isinulat matapos siyang matanggal ng kasuka-sukang EDSA 2:


14. JOSEPH EJERCITO ESTRADA (1998 - 2001)
Mabisyo. Pero may nasyonalismo, patriotismo, at populismo (maka-Masa). Biktima ng mga tampalasan at timang.

*******


On April 19, 1988 during his 51st birthday, then-Sen. Joseph Estrada delivered his privilege speech for the abrogation of the U.S. Bases Agreement. Erap's words can still remembered today for its stirring and clarion call for the nation to muster its will and courage to assert its independence and take on the path of self-sufficiency:

Let this be our finest hour as we face the judgment of history. We have become so dependent on the Americans that we have not learned to be self-sufficient. Our country has been seen as a nation of beggars, a nation of prostitutes, a nation of cheaters, a nation of domestic helpers. And if we do not assert ourselves today, we will also be known as a nation of cowards. This I cannot accept and this, we must not accept.

JOSEPH "Erap" Ejercito Estrada, the 13th President of the Philippine Republic. So unceremoniously deposed by the conspiracy of political opportunists, unpatriotic businessmen, misenlightened Church prelates, seditious military elements and stupid gullible mob during the January 2001 EDSA 2 "People Power" coup.

The Edsa II "People Power" coup d e'tat was hatched through the coalesced leadership of elements of political opportunists galvanizing under then Vice-President Arroyo, rebel military influenced by ex-President Fidel Ramos, Catholic bishops led by Jaime Cardinal Sin, and Philippine leftists such as former communist rebel Satur Ocampo. Undoubtedly, there were other groups behind the unconstitutional "fiesta" mob rule of the 2001 Edsa. There were the influential business elites, of course, and as well, the Protestant Jesus is Lord Movement by Bro. Eddie Villanueva. These groups could be said to be the plotters, each of which falls into the category of either being devious, vengeful, or well-meaning but misguided. Estrada was, after all, far from perfect. It was easy for those with poor democratic values to seek the Machiavellian way out of a President who acted like, and preferred to identify himself with the masses, perhaps much too much.

Edsa 2 Coup & 2004 Electoral Fraud Worse Crimes

The Ampatuan massacre, with all its genocidal goriness, is not the worst crime perpetrated during this illegitimate administration. The crime of the travesty of the people's electoral will, perpetuated by the civil society, notably through the 2001 "People Power" 2 coup against Estrada and the 2004 cheating of FPJ, the genuine 14th President of the Philippines, is.

To enable and sustain their travesty of the democratic process, the uncivil civil society has been relentless in imposing its undemocratic will on the Filipinos. First, it legitimized the seditious Edsa 2, a.k.a. Oplan-Excelsis manifest, with a never-before-heard "constructive resignation" ruling without resignation letter and without any real presidential incapacity. When the People Power 3 erupted in April-May 2001 in the attempt to rectify the undemocratic ouster of Estrada, the masa participants were not only dismissed and branded "the great unwashed" but, as well, machine-gunned in historic Mendiola.

http://forthephilippines.blogspot.com/2009/11/ampatuan-massacre-civil-society.html

*******


Edsa 2 not only overturned the mechanisms of democracy relating to the presidency as instituted by the 1987 Constitution. It also operated outside the constitutional framework when it went about the mandated guidelines for presidential succession. Of course, the court of Chief Justice Hilario Davide, the avowed street party-goer circa 2001, later legitimized Estrada's ouster by claiming the most mysterious legal doctrine of " Constructive Resignation," thereby ruling for Arroyo's installation. History, however, will always be reminded of the foresight of a 2001 Time magazine editorial on Edsa 2:

Again, therefore, whatever curious legal construction anyone may now attempt to put on the ouster of Estrada, he was ousted by a military coup, with the connivance of the leadership of the Roman Catholic Church, major business groups, and two former presidents.

Ninez Cacho Olivarez reported back in October 2000 about the ‘Omerta’ group, which was:
…composed of representatives of business groups and Catholic Church leaders as well as representatives of celebrated personalities [that] came together and met formally early this month to fine tune the plan to ‘constitutionally’ oust President Estrada under ‘Oplan Excelsis.

As everyone knows now, Erap was indeed "constitutionally" ousted during EDSA II, deposed in what the New York Times dubbed as “opportunist coalition of church, business elite and left” and what Hong Kong-based political analyst William Overholt report to be “It is either being called mob rule or mob rule as a cover for a well- planned coup."

What allowed the Bush-Arroyo swearing-in coincidence were unexpected Philippine political circumstances that were highly irregular, if not para-constitutional, because Arroyo was replacing the sitting--and very much living and able--President Estrada who took his oath of office only some 2 1/2 years earlier. The Philippine Constitution mandates the holding of presidential elections every six years, and the inauguration of the new President to "begin at noon on the thirtieth day of June next following the day of the election." Moreover, it is provided that apart from "impeachment for, and conviction of " culpable constitutional violation charges and other high crimes, the sitting President can only be removed in cases of death or permanent incapacity.

Sedition is a big crime against the state and everyone knows that Noynoy and his mother actively took part in the unconstitutional ouster of then-incumbent Estrada during the so-called EDSA 2 in 2001.The fact that the Davide Supreme Court soon declared with hilarious novelty that Joseph Ejercito Estrada was no longer President of the Philippines does not in any way clear the EDSA 2 conspirators of their crime of sedition. Those who took part in ousting Estrada may or may not be actually prosecuted in the post-Arroyo future, but what is certain is that history will judge the never-previously-heard “constructive resignation” ruling as nothing but a conspiratorial lame legal ploy to legitimize the power grab against a man popular with the masses.

Cory Aquino, after having been diagnosed with fatal cancer, already apologized to Erap but Noynoy sure has not. In fact, Noynoy the son tried to belittle the mother’s apology as a “joke,” to which the late President apparently compromised by issuing a statement to the effect that it is, indeed, “a jest but she’s not taking it back.“

In Oplan Excelsis/EDSA 2 Coup

First, these party big-names helped installed the Illegitimate, later surveyed to be the "Most Corrupt President in Philippine History." During the height of the anti-Estrada movement back in 2000-2001, Salonga was, of course in the forefront of those wanting Erap to resign or be impeached. Noynoy Aquino was then a Congressman for Tarlac. As recounted by The Daily Tribune's Ninez Cacho-Olivares, the only son of the late Sen. Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino and ex-President Corazon "Cory" Aquino, was among those who hailed the move of then-Speaker Manuel "Manny" Villar to transmit the impeachment complaint to the Senate-even without the benefit of plenary vote.

When things didn't work out to their liking during the Senate impeachment hearings, the LP members joined those who walked out and amassed in EDSA 2 to oust Estrada. Of course, the 2001 coup was "legitimized" by the Davide court's ruling that Joseph Estrada did "constructive resignation" even in the absence of a resignation letter or actual physical incapacity. Still, that novel , never-before-heard SC decision won't take away the fact that it was a coup, the fruition of Plan B of the Oplan Excelsis revealed in October 2000 by The Daily Tribune, which was, in turn, predated by a series of Manila Standard articles on anti-Estrada destabilization efforts during the early part of the same year.

People Power II Myths

Contrary to the lying claim propagated by the Arroyo administration and EDSA 2 stalwarts though media propaganda, the unseating of Estrada did not come about because of a well-intentioned, spontaneous popular revolt. An interview conducted by renowned author Nick Joaquin and which first appeared in the Philippine Graphic revealed that a power grab from Estrada had been planned long before the impeachment and that two of the key putschists were no other than Gloria Arroyo and her husband Mike Arroyo. With or without a popular component, the overthrow of the President with the highest plurality vote in history would have pushed through.

The defection of the military's top brass was the focus of the putschists' Plan A. This priority plan was what brought in the campaign to bring people to EDSA through media propaganda and centralized invitation by cellular texting. Arroyo's camp managed to convince then Chief-of-Staff Angelo Reyes to join, but on the condition that there will be a million-strong crowd in the streets of EDSA to help convince the service commanders to join.

Trampling on the 1987 Philippine Charter and the Electoral Process

According to no less than the Honorable Cecilia Munoz-Palma, the former Supreme Court Justice and chairperson of the 1987 Constitutional Commission, Edsa 2 caused the 1987 Constitution to suffer. "This happened when the ongoing impeachment trial of President Joseph Estrada, was unceremoniously disrupted and discontinued, and the issues on hand were brought to the streets. The rule of law was set aside and the rule of force prevailed.”

Singapore Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew, as quoted in the January 26, 2001 issue of The Straits Times, believed that “The change of power in the Philippines was no boost for democracy because it was done outside the constitution...”

The ruling was a hopelessly and undemocratically ridiculous instance of the suppression of the freedom of the press and information of the Filipinos. The coverage of the court proceedings without a shot of the former Philippine President's countenance during the passing of the verdict practically meant no coverage at all. Ano naman ang pakialam ng mga Pilipino sa mga mukha ng kangaroong mahistrado at sa tagabasa ng desisyon? Bakit tila inutil o nabubusalan ang media kapag ang panig o karapatan na ni Erap at oposisyon ang dapat marinig?

With this brazenly censoring decision, the Supreme Court ruled to deny the Filipino people the right to witness, via telecast, the unfolding of a most important moment in the country's history. Why the Joseph Estrada impeachment and the ensuing mutinous EDSA 2 were covered in sensational full detail, while the stark opposite applied to the Estrada Plunder case smacked of a devious political machination by current President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Never Guilty

Earlier, a nationwide survey showed that an overwhelming majority of Filipinos believe Estrada is innocent of the Plunder charges and that they expected him to be released. The same survey conducted by the Social Weather Station (SWS) also revealed the sentiment of the Filipinos that in case he be declared guilty, Estrada should be pardoned. According to the survey 62% of Filipinos do not believe "Erap" Estrada enriched himself nor committed corruption while he was President; a total of 84% think he should be pardoned if convicted. The SWS, the most active social survey institute in the country, conducted the survey just before the promulgation of the Sandiganbayan decision declaring Estrada guilty of the charges.

Catholic Church Culpability

That Christmases in the Philippines have become less bright in both material and non-material terms are perhaps to be expected when the nation wallows in the darkness of an immoral leadership. Beginning from the unconstitutional ouster of President Joseph Estrada to pave the way for the installation of the power grabbing Arroyo in January 2001, the Constitution and democratic institutions of the Philippines have been mangled and corrupted, alongside the crumpling of the sacred right of suffrage of Filipino citizens. Crucial to the success of the EDSA 2 mob that deposed the hugely-popular-with-the-masses Estrada and installed bogus "President" Arroyo is the support of the Manila portion of the Catholic Church led by then Cardinal Jaime Sin.

Why don't the bishops partly take responsibility for the Arroyo evil? After all, the Philippine Catholic Church by and large supported the ouster of former President Joseph Estrada and the para-constitutional installation of the Illegitimate back in early 2001.

Media's Treatment of Estrada...
 
Watching the Tiangco portion of the "24 Oras" interview with Erap made me cringe both from disapproval at the rather callously inappropriate line of questioning and from the discomfort of watching Erap slide from proclamation "high" into interrogation put down. Imagine the subject were not Erap but another comebacking politician who just concluded his proclamation rally--how would it sound for a news anchor to hammer on why the former public official had to run again? Wouldn't that be considered rude by any decent journalistic standards?

Contrast the badgering Erap got with the kids' glove treatment the network gave Noynoy. Same interview format for the two presidentiables right after after their respective formal declaration of intent to run in 2010: two interviewers--female and male who hurled questions one after the other. While GMA-7 subjected ex-President Estrada to an interrogation-style interview, Sen. Aquino was accorded brattish tweetums TV time.

*******



Erap Dream: Sitted ala Sitting Buddha

I must confess that beyond the brainwashing, perhaps I thought Erap was too "baduy" for my taste as I, back then, thought of myself as belonging to the elite--definitely not of the material kind but of the intellectual kind. Objectively, I don't' think I should blame myself for this bias because Estrada projected an image of being not concerned with education. As I now understand, he deliberately cultivated a pronouncedly pro-masa image in his bid to endear himself with the Filipino masses. Explaining the famous, or infamous, Erap jokes that revolved around bad English.

Sometime after President Estrada was deposed by the immoral and unconstitutional EDSA 2, analysts would blame Erap jokes for Estrada's fall from grace. The Erap jokes, consciously crafted, if I'm not mistaken, by the PR firm of Reli German, did bring Erap closer to the masses but estranged, if not further estranged, him away from the all-important middle class. Still, I should have seen through the media bias and realized that a man who was admitted to Ateneo University and Mapua Institute of Technology cannot possibly be dumb. I should have bothered to question the media for portraying an outstanding, long-standing mayor as dumb.

Ako ay dating galit kay Erap. Pero nang nag-umpisa na ang Erap Resign Movement at nakita ko ang marami sa mga natutulak nito ay marurumi ay bumaligtad ako. Pwera diyan kay warlord, jueteng lord Singson ay may isang pang gobernardor akong kilala na jueteng lord na eh mmmtay karibal pa. At ang kapatid po o in-law ni Cory noong gobernador ng Tarlac ay nuknukan ng pagiging jueteng lord din. Bakit saksakan ng corrupt ay magpapatalsik ng corrupt daw samantalang walang dayang hinalal siya (si Erap) ng bayan?

"Legalization" by the Hilarious Court of the Power Grabber

Up to now, the imposed yellow propaganda wrecks havoc on the minds of some of the well-educated Filipinos, expatriates included, who cannot seem to have the common sense to go beyond the framework of imposed information crafted by members of the seditious conspiratorial clique. They continue to wallow in the sorry state of gullibility-but-prejudice-against-Erap, incredibly buying arguments such as how the EDSA 2 ouster of Estrada is supposedly justified by the 2007 Plunder decision and that the millennium President is deemed resigned based on the "totally test" and that never-before-existing "constructive resignation" ruling is not at all anomalous.

Since the forces of EDSA II deposed Estrada and even acted to squash what should have the corrective Masa-powered EDSA III of May 2001, then a Noynoy win means that the people have embraced elite rule. On the other hand, an Erap victory clearly shows that the Filipino clearly reject elite rule and assert populist leadership by way of reelecting a man overwhelmingly voted by the masa and deposed (and incarcerated) by an elite conspiracy.

Will the 113th anniversary of the tragic death of Gat Andres Bonifacio reflect the tragedy of the masa decapitation during the Philippine Revolution, or will it spell the rising of the Great Plebeian's mass-based libertarian, nationalist and mass-based aspirations?

Sison's Pinky, Gloria and CIA Expose

There is more. A most explosive revelation from an unexpected source was yet to come. On June 7, 2010, Pinoy Weekly Online came out with an interview of Jose Maria Sison, consultant and former head of the National Democratic Front. Therein, Sison charged that the recent automated electoral exercise was rigged, with the poll "victory" of Noynoy Aquino already a done deal. He pointed to the collusion of the imperialist United States of America, Arroyo, and Pinky Aquino-Abellada, an elder sister of Noynoy, which was forged in a meeting held six weeks before the elections.

As expected, Pinky and the Aquino family denied the charge. What is worth noting is that the revelation came from someone the Yellows —the Aquino and the Arroyo families, among others-- were in tactical alliance with during the 2001 ouster of Estrada. The Arroyos and Aquinos cannot possibly just dismiss Sison as opportunist or what because they were unholy allies there in the undemocratic EDSA 2 coup against a genuinely elected and sitting President.

XXXX

On my part, how it dawned on me that the Filipino electorate had been conned by Gloria Arroyo's government into accepting a fraudulent AES "winner" was when early broadcast results on the night of May 10, 2010 showed Joseph Erap Estrada impossibly behind Aquino in the former's bailiwicks of TONDO and SAN JUAN CITY in Manila. It was beyond any objective comprehension how the deposed President could possibly lose in those areas that have through the years consistently been solid, if not die-hard, Erap turfs.

Former Assemblyman Homobono Adaza and Atty. Arnold Bayobay categorically spoke of cheating at both the local and national levels. Adaza referred to documents showing the nationwide pattern of improbable zero vote results. Suspiciously, the joint congressional oversight committee on automated elections or JCOC-AE has refused to investigate the glaring anomaly.

Striking evidence of apparent fraud at the presidential level was also shown. Bayobay presented election returns from a precinct in Pampanga that showed former President Joseph Estrada as the winner, followed by Sen. Manuel Villar and now-"President-elect" Noynoy Aquino trailing as third. However, he says that the transmitted report reflected Aquino as the winner.

America's flex of its hegemonic muscles over the country is being seen once more as it subtly twists the Filipinos' arm into blindly accepting Aquino as the next "President." How to? By conspicuously expressing its biased and improper show of support for their incoming 'puppet' of choice well before Congress has done its job of canvassing the votes and settling the issue of electoral credibility.

"President Apparent"

The media has eagerly reported on how Noynoy Aquino has led second front runner ex-President Joseph Estrada by a wide margin in the tabulation of the election results beginning from the early hours of the quick count, hailing the recent elections as swift, orderly, and credible. As reports of poll irregularities and fraud came in, the yellow media began carrying stories of electoral fraud, albeit with begrudging reluctance.

Pres. Joseph "ERAP" Estrada, I beg you to please NOT concede to the Yellow Cheat.

You said this is the "final, final performance" of your life. Continue then for the worthy, principled cause of searching for the May 10, 2010 ELECTORAL TRUTH.

Hindi po kayo nag-isa at kasama ninyo kami. Nandiyan din po ang ma-prinsipyong sina Sen. Jamby Madrigal, G. Nicanor Perlas, at G. JC de los Reyes. These three fine lady and gentlemen presidentiables, who have endured the malicious ridicule of the yellow media and civil (daw) society, have acknowledged their defeat in the elections but chose not to concede in the face of apparent massive fraud.

How is it that after Martial Law, only ONE out of the five Presidents has been elected beyond any cloud of doubt? And this singular GENUINELY elected leader was ousted at that, his term cut short to a mere 2 1/2 years by the EDSA 2 power grab....

My people, only cleansing can save the country from doom. Good people of this land, let us please pray:

May the God of TRUTH descend unto our midst and SLAY the POLL FRAUDS of May 10, 2010.
"So that goodness may drench this very hungry archipelago.... Amen.

Pasyon sa Biyernes Santo: Dagdagan ng Anuyo o Kabaitang Sekswal

Ngayong BIYERNES SANTO, dito sa Pilipinas, sa bandang Gitnang Luzon lalo na, maraming kalalakihan na Kristiyanong Katoliko ang dumaan sa mabigat na pisikal na pahirap. Ginaya ang Pasyon ni Hesukristo. Naisip ko lamang na mas maganda siguro kung sasamahan ito ng KALINISAN din sa bahaging GITNANG BABA ng mga kalalakihang ito dahil sexually ay malinis naman si Hesus, di ba?

Ayon sa kanilang panata, maraming kalalakihan ang ginaya ang Pasyon, ang sinasabing pahirap kay Poong Hesukristo papunta sa Golgotha kung saan ipinako ito. May ilang Pilipinong nagpapako, may ilang nagpasan ng krus subali't karamihan ng nagpanata ay naghampas o nagpahampas sa likod, pati sa likod ng binti, at ang iba ay sa dibdib pa. Burillos daw ang matatalim na dulo ng ginamit na panghampas habang naglalakad ng nakatapak, hindi sa lupa kundi sa mas mainit na semento, papunta ng simbahan. Penitensya. Good Friday flagellation sa wikang Inglis.

Mula sa isang nauna kong artikulo:

Locals supposedly call the Good Friday penitents “kandarapa.” The mortification ritual is part of the kandarapa's “panata” or religious pledge, often made either in the bid to make God forgive or their sins or to ask for some difficult favor for themselves or some loved ones. The ritual serves as a reenactment of the passion of Jesus Christ while on the way to his crucifixion. The prostrate move, with arms outstretched and legs held straight together, symbolizes Christ's crucifixion on the cross.

Hindi biro ang panatang ito. Mainit ang panahon, mainit ang sementong tinatapakan habang naglalakad ng nakatapak. Matatalim ang dulo ng karamihang panghampas kung kaya't nagsusugat ang mga likod ng mga matatapang na kalalakihang ito. Sa hindi katagalan ay nagdurugo na ang mga likod at mapulang mapula na sa dugo ang mga katawan. Sa mga hindi nakakaalam ay maari pang isiping prop na dugo lamang ang nakikita. Sa mga hindi sanay ay nakakangiwi ang nasasaksihan. Kung malapit ka sa mga nagpepenitensyang ito ay hindi nakakapagtakang matilamsikan ka ng kanilang mga dugo. Walang reklamo kang maririnig subali't napakasakit at napakahirap siguro. May ilang halos himatayin subali't hindi titigil, magpapahinga lang ng kaunti upang kumuha ng lakas at mapagpatuloy ang panatang penitensyon.

Walang matanda kang makikitang nagpepenitensya ng ganito dahil hindi naman talaga kakayanin ng mga mahinina. Marami ay matitipuno ang katawan; may mga payat ng kaunti subali't malalakas ang physique. Itong mga tipo rin kalalakihan na ito ang masasabing nasa peak ng kanilang sexual prowess.

Naisip ko lang, pagkatapos kaya ng Biyernes Santong penitensya ay bumabalik din sa bisyo ang mga kalalakihang ito? Masasabing tanggap sa kulturang Pilipino ang pambabae--balik din kaya sa ganitong gawi ang mga nagpepenitensyang ito kung mayroon mang ganyang masamang bisyo ang ilan o marami sa kanila???

Dahil ginagaya din naman nila si Hesukristo na isang Celibate o Sexually moral na tao/Diyos ayon sa turo ng Simbahan, bakit kaya hindi nila isama sa Panata ang SEXUAL PENITENCE o kung hindi man ay Sexual Discipline/FIDELITY sa buong taon. Mas mahirap marahil subali't mas maka-Diyos at maka-tao, maka-Asawa.

Mainam din namang sa mismong Biyernes Santo ay inaalala ang buhay at kamatayan ng pinaniniwalaang Poong Hesukristo. Subali't kung ang mga nagpepenitensyang ito ay magiging malinis sa kama, matapat sa mga asawa o kasintahan sa buong taon ay mas lalo sigurong matutuwa si Bathala. Magiging maganda pa silang halimbawa sa ibang mga kalalakihan at baka sakaling dumami pa ang tribong TAPAT sa kalupaan ng Pilipino/Tagalog/Taga-Ilog.
