Re the pabaon system issue:
REYES: "...naging sakim ba ako sa inyo,o naging maramot sa inyo"
Sayang si former Gen. Angelo Reyes. Could have stood up for the Constitution and the Republic during EDSA 2.
Magpapakamatay lang din pala ay hindi pa in the service of the constitution and the vote of the people. Instead, he committed suicide in the service pa of his BULSA.
Then again, baka naman kaya nagpakamatay (daw) ay dahil belatedly nakonsensya sa ginawang COUP laban kay Erap?
REYES: “Gentlemen, I’m sure you know that we’ve just committed MUTINY* **.” His staff said, “Yes, sir.” (bold supplied)

KUNG totoong nagpakamatay si Reyes, the corruption expose in the military AND his role in Edsa 2 coup should still be investigated because, among other things, the two are closely related. Reyes could not have been the Department of Defense Secretary Secretary kung had he not participated in the coup against the then-sitting President, Joseph Estrada.
Maraming tanong na dapat sagutin. Isa na dito ay kung bakit sa puso o dibdib nagbaril si Reyes kung totoong pagpapatiwakal iyon. Mayroon na bang nagpakamatay ng ganoong paraan? Not unless he was so vain (even in death) that he didn't want a blown.up face/head?
Kung tunay nga na pagpapatiwakal iyon, ang tapang ni Angelo Reyes kasi di ba mas matagal at masakit ang mamatay from cardiac wounds? Kaso lamang, nakakapagtaka pa rin--eh kung matapang pala siya eh bakit hindi niya hinarap ang akusasyon sa kanya at sa halip ay TINAKBUHAN ito by killing himself???
R.I.P., ex-Sec. Angelo Reyes. Bahala na si Bathala sa iyo. Magkikita na kayo ng kapwa mo EDSA 2 Power Grab stalwart, Jaime Cardinal Sin.
REYES MADE THE DECISION to withdraw at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, after a meeting with his staff. He informed the vice-president of the decision... at 11:45 a.m. Reyes called the board of generals - composed of the three major services commanders, the vice-chief of staff and the deputy chief-of-staff - to the safe house to inform them of his decision...
Reyes: …So we’ll withdraw support, we’ll assemble at the conference room. I’ll call the board of generals… They’ll see me in my office. We will withdraw support and we will announce it... When you do this thing, you do it swiftly, quickly, (so there is) no chance for failure*..
..In their meeting, Reyes told her, “Ma’am, we are going to announce our withdrawal of support from the president and give it to you.”* (p. 171)
... and she said OK. (p. 297)
...To meet her, we go to the Corinthian at 2 o’clock then go to EDSA at 3 p.m... I said I had to dress up, go to the office so things look normal*... when we were still meeting at 10 o’clock I got a call that Secretary Mercado wanted to meet me in his office at 11:30. I said I can’t meet him at that time. It came to my mind that it was possible that he already knew that we were doing something*…
... After securing the support of everyone inside the staff room, Reyes said (“In jest,” according to him): “Gentlemen, I’m sure you know that we’ve just committed mutiny* **.” His staff said, “Yes, sir.” (page 171)

exactly, rey. golly, i began as ANTI.erap. when in won in 1998, kung may paraan lang ako nun, umalis na ako ng bansa.
ReplyDeletepero nang nag.umpisa nang destab nila, teka nga, eh mga kilalang magnanakaw at jueteng lords mga ito tapos pabababain si e...rap? papagamit ba ako sa mga ito? then i later learned erap did so much good to the nation compared to them.
nal naman, nagapologize naman si cory. si a_noy ang bumara ng apology. at siya rin ang nag.hocus pcos last may 2010. dapat si abs ang makikipagkita kila cardinal sin at reyes!
ReplyDeletelol
right, rey. i noticed those he installed as department secretaries, parang too much based on credentials and not on probable loyalty. akala yata niya masa alone can propel him in power.
ReplyDeleteyes, nal. ang daming maling ginawa ni cory. pero nag.apologize so purgatory na lang. hehe
ReplyDeletere "suicide," the problem, hill, is that they've rushed the suicide theory, rammed it down filipinos' throat without due investigative process. that can't be--they relied solely on the statement of some witness, which is sloppy police work.... death is no light matter and whatever caused it should be verified, double.checked.
ReplyDeletehistory should be based on truth and we in the present owes it to the future generation that whatever we're writing is factual. sa dami ng kasinungalingan sa pamahalaan natin, kasama na ang pulis, bakit basta kakagatin ang angulong pagpapatiwakal ng mahina ang ebidensya?
esp. in the light of fidel ramos' statement that what reyes did was:
ReplyDelete"Ang ipinakita ni Angelo Reyes ay katapangan. He in fact tried to save AFP. I hope his sacrifice is not in vain."
hey, reyes' "suicide" saved the afp from WHAT? baka may ti......natago at abot hanggang kay tabako.
how much was reyes' insurance compared to what he plundered, by the way? or what his possible other co-plunderers got?
i'm NOT saying he did not commit suicide. what i'm saying is ASCERTAIN the facts of his death. i won't settle for anything less than verified "truth." in order to truly get to the bottom of the mess.
right about not glossing over what reyes or whoever did when we and future generations discuss him, hill. the whole truth will set the country to the path of true freedom and nationhood.
ReplyDeleteka tony, i didn't know hitler was an animal lover. ang alam ko pag mahilig sa hayup--yung magalaga at hindi kumakatay--ay mabait. maawain kasi kaya pati sa ibang tao maawain.
ReplyDeletei guess there are always exceptions to the rule. lol.
thanks, anthony. perhaps we can dissuade them from doing hara kiri (kung makonsensya ang ibang ka.sindikato ni reyes)--IF they'll TELL ALL and give back everything.
ReplyDeleteso much for wishful thinking....
anidos, sepulturero raw ang nakakita na nagpatiwakal, hindi ba? pinakamainam niya ay FORENSIC investigation. problema baka lutuin... pero kung may autopsy report, mahihirapang lutuin or at least keep the real facts secret for long kung lulutuin nga.
