Antonio Trillanes, failed mutineer turned Senator of the Republic, has decided to play for all the marbles. After holing up in the Manila Peninsula with about 30 soldiers, he has asked the public to choose between him and the President.
I get the sense that this pseudo-mutiny or quasi-coup will not end peacefully.

sayang lang boto ko, akala ko ba layon nyang umangat at gumanda ang pulitika sa pilipinas e lalo naman nyang ginulo....
ang bobo talga nya
yung sa oakwood, ok pa yun kasi may pinaglalaban
pero itong ginagawa nya parang wala ng rason parang paghihiganti na lang
Its about time somebody doing something to kick Gloria Arroyo, From her stolen power. I hope and pray the magdalo's succeeded on their fight against the corrupt regime of Gloria Arroyo!
Its time to unite and fight for what is right. Mabuhay tayong lahat.
Trillanes is such an asshole. No logic and can not even express himself vividly. This adventurism is a slap on his face. Jail all the supporters including the priests...We can't afford to have this people around ruining whatever economic gains we have achieved.
Ang bangis ng batas ay dapat ipataw sa grupo ng walang kunsensyang grupo ni Trillanes. Ang payapang araw ay sinira at binasag ng kanilang grupo kabilang ang mga paring Katoliko, dalawang abugado, si Guingona at iba pa. Ang kanilang mga paliwanag ay hindi katanggap-tanggap at di makatwiran at di naayon sa batas kung kayat walang sumama upang magbigay ng suporta. Di ko lang lubos maisip kung bakit ang isang taong hindi mn lamang maipahayag ang kanyang sarili ng maliwanag at lohiko ay nanalo bilang senador.
No! Gloria Arroyo, And the filipino people.
i am so disgusted with this bishop and the priest who participated in all these nonsense commotion.. this is not the kind of peace that Jesus is preaching... there are ways to make change... i don't know what kind of god they are believing
i'm sorry to disagree with you salina... hindi ganitong klase ng bayani ang hinahangaan ko,,, ang taong may matibay na pinaglalaban, ay nakikipagpatayan,,, hindi naduduwag at sumusuko... ayokong makiisa sa mga duwag at nagtatago sa saya ng mediamen
This is God's will. There's a worse fate waiting for GMA and her minions.
tang-ina yan ..eh wala naman palang mapupura sa pagpupursigi ng mga mamamayang pilino...buti pa pasabugin na lang yan malacanang..para matigil na ang pangungurakot ni arroyo...
Media should be fair in reporting. It seems Chan 2 starring Korina Sanchez prefers reporting the side of these unscrupulous individuals and cut-off the press con of Mr Bunye and co. Media personnel should not be crossing the line of fire and they should not be complaining of anything while in the midst of the situation. They chose to be there and they should not be complaining. The stand-off is almost over, now the media takes centerstage airing complaints... What the hell...Only in the Philippines.
Naku, naglabasan na naman ang mga pakawala ng Malacanang para palabasin na may kakampi sila. Kung kampi kayo kay GMA, ibig sabihin mandaraya, sinungaling, at magnanakaw din kayo.
BACK OFF!!!!
Long live Magdalo!!!!!!!
Please have mercy on our nation. Tayong mga inosenteng mamamayan ang pangunahing biktima at makakaramdam ng consequence ng kanilang makasariling adventurism. We should be helping each other to uplift our economy. Not destroying the economic gains we have achieved. Pwede po kayang sa huling 3 taon ay kakitaan tayo ng positibong aksiyon, damayan at pakikipagtulungan tungo sa pag-unlad ng ating kabuhayan.
Salina, you're sick. Wake up and quit lambasting the president. It won't help in anyway. Just help in nation-building.
You stupid assholes supporting Trillanes...isn't it stupid enough to think.. na they are surrendering for the sake of the media and the innocent people in the hotel when they are the once resposible for the military action. They should not blame it to the police, they should learn to accept the responsibility since they were the ones.
To think, our country has a lot of problems...we've just had survived 2 storms, and there are a lot of people who needs help.. KAPAL nang mukha nang Trillanes na yan...papansin.
hindi ako kumakampi kay GMA,,, sundin lang sana natin ang naayon sa batas
Tama ba na basta ka na lang papasok sa isang hotel na nagnenegosyo ng maayos?
Papasok k duon na parang pag aari mo?
Guguluhin mo ang mga nanahimik sa peninsula hotel? makatwiran ba para sa inyo ang prosesong yan?
IYAN BA ANG LEADER NA MAY MATUWID NA PRINSIPYO?
PILIT NA KINUKUHA ANG LAYUNIN SA DI MAKATWIRANG PARAAAN AT SA SAKRIPISYO NG NANAHIMIK NA MAMAMAYAN.....
Another thing...not all people are calling for GMA's removal. quote from Lim.
"We are joining the people… because the President continues to violate the Constitution of the Philippines repeatedly"
I do not know which people they are referring to. They should think that the Phillipines is not for the leftist only.
Stupid senator, priest and former vice-president.
i'm sorry jun s, let's face the reality...
there's a worst fate awaiting trillanes.
the case against him has been aggravated.
Kung kelan karapat dapat na gamitin ang terminolohiyang "wala sa ayos" ay ngayon at sa isang tao lamang-kay Trillanes. Sa sobrang ambisyon eh nasira na yata ang ulo nya. Hes not helping our country to progress but instead putting it in shame by showing the world that the Filipino people voted a stupid military man as senator.
Salina...sumali ka nlang kay Trillanes sa kulungan para lalo mo malaman na pareho kayong tanga.
good for trillanes, at least somebody is doing something other than talking..
tuloy ang laban ng "magdalo"........
labanan ang mandaraya, kurakot na pandak sa malakanyang......
I'm very frustrated with this Gloria administration...They are corrupt and useless!!!Many people starving because of them.......there's no option!!!
I will support you senator trillanes...May God bless us......
Devil gloria government have no place on God...I believe good shall prevail...
Trillanes is just a mirror of the deep frustration the people are feeling about the administration and the government. It's a pity he choose the wrong path to express his message.
The Philippines is a hopeless case now, not even the senate can do good. For those who have the opportunity, its time to think over of leaving the country for good.
sobra ang init ng bugso ng mga damdamin ng mga suporter ni UGOK na trillanes hahahahahaha
Well para sa mga sumusporta kay trillanes...ewan ko kung ano ang tawag sa inyo....MAS GUSTO NYO PANG MAGKAGULO ANG PILIPINAS KESA MAGTULUNGAN PARA BUMUTI ANG BUHAY NG BAWAT PILIPINO...

Walang mapapala ang pagtatago sa hotel. Mukhang nasasanay na si Mr. Magdalo sa pagtago sa hotel. Kung gusto mo makatulong, tulungan mo na lang yung mga Sumilao farmers. Kawawa naman, ipinagkait sa kanila ang lupang nararapat sa kanila ng mga kapitalista.
It's State assault on democracy. Why are Basilan-weary military deployed in Makati? The arrest of media - from journalists to technical crew - in a so-called democratic nation is an unnerving first. The curfew declaration without clear legal basis and guidelines puts anyone at risk.
Now is not the time to leave the country. That is the option of the elite who have no conscience regarding the future of the Philippines. Now is the time to buckle down and do the work that needs to be done to build a better nation for our country.
To all of Trillanes' supporters!
Come on. Your idol has no balls. At the start, he and his stupid cohorts said they will not leave the Pen. Eh teargas palang ang ibinato ng SWAT surrender na kaagad at ginawa pang dahilan mga press at kung sino sino pang mga nameless. Come on. If you believe in your cause, you have to die for it at di yong, pa-ingles ingles pa sa TV eh mali mali naman.
To Jhun who said that the good will prevail, di ba obvious sa iyo na si Trillanes at Lim ang evil kasi di ba ang nag prevail eh ang puersa naman ng gobyerno? Ilang beses na ba gustong pabagsakin ang gobyernong ito pero everytime eh nagpe-prevail.
Ang pinagtataka ko lang, kanina eh panay ang panawagan ng mga rebelde for "taong bayan" for support at sila nga ang dahilan ng kanilang ginagawa. Nasaan ang taong bayan? Mas marami pa ang miron na naroroon. Kaya puede ba, next time kung meron man, huwag naman gamitin kaming mga taong bayan kc di naman majority eh mahilig mag alsa tapos titiklop lang isang putok pa lang.
My only lament sa mga pangyayari eh bakit sumurender sina Lim at Trillanes. Kasi wala akong gustong makita kanina kungdi pulbusin ng militar ang hotel ang magkawatak watak katawan ng mga walang alam gawin kungdi manggulo. Kung napatay sila, eh di ayos sana.
Gaano man katindi ang pag ayaw ko sa rehiming Arroyo pero di nangangahulugan na kakampi ako sa mga taong gumagawa ng labag sa batas. Pag ganon kc mas masahol pa sila sa taong gusto nilang patalsikin.
Actually, kung gusto talaga ng taong bayan na mapaalis si GMA, dapat eh puro oposisyon na congressman ang ibinoto nila para ma-impeach sya pero kabaliktaran naman nangyari. Mas dumami pa supporters ni GMA sa Kongreso after the election. Wait for 2010 and good riddance to GMA at di yong padrama drama pa eh di naman pala mapangatawanan. NAKAKAHIYA KA TRILLANES.
At yang mga taong simbahan, bakit hindi ang matinding immoralidad ng lipunan sanhi ng failure ng simbahan na ayusin ang moralidad ng kanilang members ang kanilang tutukan kesa makihalo pa sa pulitika? Pati Diyos eh sinasama pa nila sa kanilang katarantaduhan. Ang tatanda na eh wala pa ring natutunan.
I believe Trillanes and others did a wrong move back there. First because it's an irrational thing to trooped in just like that to someone else's establishment (sorry Manila Pen for the damages). Second, because he gave up, just like what they did during the 2003 mutiny. I mean, waddahell, andun na sila, they got the momentum, then they would just give up..just because he's concernd with others who might get hurt. so what, the end justifies the means..waddahell..
Si trillanes handang mamatay sa harap ng camera pero ng nagsimula na ang assault sa peninsula naiba ang salita. no matter what you say wala ka talagang isip akala mo katulad ng oakwood this time you get what your asking for mabuti nga sa iyo mabulok ka na sa preso!! senator ka pa naman its time to act as a senator asshole!!
to trillanes(pwe!) good luck! may you enjoy your stay in your cell at mabulok ka na duon. you don't deserve to be called senator at wag mong sabihing susuko kayo dahil ayaw ninyong madamay ang ibang tao. sumuko kayo dahil alam ninyong wala na kayong pupuntahan kung hindi sementeryo at takot kang mamatay. matapang ka lang sa harap ng tv, what have you achieved today? nothing!! if before naloloko mo ibang tao ngayon lalong nainis lang sa yo. sanay mabulok ka na sa kulungan mo!!!!
GO SEN. TRILLANES!!!
What the government did earlier is such an OVER REACTION...
Amazing!!! tama b naman na si ST ang pagbyarin sa mga sinira ng mga pulis at sundalo? Bakit si Sen. Trillanes b ang nag-utos na ipasok ang tangke na yon?! In the first place THERE IS NO NEED FOR SUCH A NUMBER OF ARMED MEN kc wla namang ginagawang harm ang grupo ni Sen. Trillanes, they were just conducting a MEETING... Hahaha, nakakatawa PGMA, kinabahan kaagad kayo ah, baka mawala sa pwesto syempre di kn makakapag kamal ng salapi ng bayan. Dadami pa ang kagaya ni Sen. Trillanes kapag hindi nabago ang sistema sa bansa. HISTORICAL na masyado ang Pilipinas... isipin niyo MAS MATAAS ANG PRESYO NG GAS KESA PALITAN NG DOLYAR; MATAAS NA LAHAT NG PRESYO NG BILIHIN! NASAN ANG SINASABI NG GOBYERNO NA "ECONOMIC GROWTH"....
grow up PGMA!!!
haven't you noticed that your favorite coup plotter is "sosi", mahilig sa 5-star hotel(last time, oakwood) :-))
how can the general public appreciate whatever cause he is espousing when he cannot even articulate what he wants? is that the kind of leader that we would follow? ang labo magsalita, no sense at all. he wants us to second guess....
and the damage, again, that he is causing every time he does his adventures, its unforgivable!
and let him pay mla. pen for the damages not us taxpayers, ok?
Trillanes can't be a good leader. Imagine having an "utak pulbora" president. When he can't get his point across, he has to do something insane. That should be worse than any president we have had.
i agree with you Rolan...
all of us may or may not like GMA, but for heaven's sake...granted that most of us have been stupid enough to vote for GMA...A STUPIDY CAN NOT CORRECT ANOTHER STUPIDITY!!
all i can say is...TRILLANES...YOU ARE THE MOST SELF-CENTERED...MOST INSECURE...MOST CRAZY FILIPINO I KNOW..
I SALUTE YOU...FOR YOUR STUPIDITY!!!
what trillanes has done was totally unacceptable.. an elected senator is expected to act with humility and deference to the administration of justice.. walking out was an act of pure desperation, it reflects his unbridled disregard to the established institutions of government.. he's an outlaw!!!!!
and these priests who cuddled the mutineers, how can you be so naive!!! dont you know that your heads will be the first to roll if these putchists get ahead with their agenda of taking the reins of government.. i suggest, father reyes, do what you do best, RUN!!!!!
Those mediamen arrested during the failed Peninsula coup by Trillanes should realize that they unwittingly became human shields for the coup plotters. The rebellious soldiers literally put the mediamen in harm's way, knowing to well in their experience what police and military tactics come next on situations like that. The loss of human lives could have been high if Philippine authorities did not manage it efficiently. Mediamen should count themselves lucky and stop being sissies. And Trillanes should apologize to the Filipino people who rewarded him a senatorship for such a stupid action! Jail him some more along with Bishop Labayen, old Guingona etcetera! They hardly made a dent in stockmarket at all!
Hintayin nyo na lang matapos term ni La Gloria. Matatapos din yan tapos kayo naman. I'm sure ganun pa rin Pinas pag naka-upo na Upo-sisyon. We've heard Trillanes wet his pants in the 'Pen when the armored carrier barged in. For a start he shld. pay for damages. Senator naman siya, dami pera. Kay running priest ba yun, kelan ba matitisod yan at matauhan? Dati kinalampag nya mga inns at motels sa Pasay at Pasig at ngsisigaw sa megaphone pugad daw ng kalaswaan. Malay b nman niyang mag-asawa at honeymooners andun?! Palibhasa sakristan lang kasama nya, pwe!
I believe this is the right time that people from all persuasions shd unite & rally not only behind trillanes, et al, but for a real total change, the way our corrupt & "buwaya" govt officials are raping our country & our democratic institutions; wala na nga tayong masasabi na matinong institusyon sa ating bansa, lahat nakulapulan na ng dayukdok na pagnanasang manatili sa nakalalasing na kapangyarihan. Kay gma, sana magbitaw ka na sa ninakaw mong pwesto para matahimik na ang ating bansa & tuluyan na tayong umunlad & makauwi na kaming mga ofws. Kay trillanes, sana huwag ka na lang mag-ingles (minsan kasi hindi mo masabi ang tunay mong nilalayon kasi kinakapos ka sa ingles) para lalo kang maunawaan ng masang pilipino & maipaabot mo sa kanila ng malinaw ang iyong mga hangarin.
DOWN W/ gma & HER GANG OF THIEVES, WOLVES, CROCODILES - STARTING W/ PUNO, ERMITA, BUNYE, GONZALES "TWINS", DEFENSORS, VILLAFUERTES, DE VENECIA, & YUNG MGA ALIPORES NILA SA KAMARA & SENADO. SANA KUNIN NA KAYO NI LORD, MGA A-HOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111
anak ng huweteng. habang eto kaming mga OFW, kumakayod at nagpapadala ng pera pabalik ng pinas, eto ang nangyayari sa manila. ang tatanga kasi masyado ng mga bumoto kay trillanes eh! pare-pareho kayong bobo! anong pinagsasabi nyo na you speak for the people? tama nga, sinong people ba tinutukoy nyo? lahat kaming OFWs nagpapakahirap dito sa labas ng bansa, tapos mageelect kayo ng senador na ni hindi pa ginagawa ang trabaho nya bilang senador! punyemas naman talaga! kapag ba may ipaglalaban ka eh manggugulo ka sa isang lugar tulad ng hotel? humihingi ka ng hustisya --- bakit? ang pagbasag nyo ba ng mga glass doors sa hotel at panggugulo sa mga nananahimik ng mga bisita ng hotel eh makatarungan? nasaan ang common sense at logic nyo? supposedly common yan eh. mga bwiset kayo ni trillanes! pare-pareho kayo!
It's not about being good or bad in politics. It's how savvy you are in it. Look, La Gloria will still be in power after this. Wala naman kayong magagawa eh. Lalo pa siyang nagmukhang malakas na lider (at babae huh, ala-Cory w/ dami coup d'etat) ha, with Trillanes as defeated loser. He could have died today, you know, if La Gloria and her minions are any sicker. Yung mga media sa loob mukhang tanga din, masakit daw mata nila. Syempre tear gas eh, naka-experience na rin sila ng totoong 'scoop' at konting hapdi lang sa mata, yun umaray. Kung bala kaya tumama sa tumbong ng mga media na yan, ano na kaya sasabihin nila? "The pen is mightier than the sword?"! What arrogance!
if majority of the filipino people really dislike the arroyo regime so where are they now? isn't it the holing up in manila pen is a perfect opportunity to show how anger you are witht the present administration? poor trillanes, go back to jail and stop wiping that shit on your face. you pathetic loser.
i mean "angry" not anger.
I hope these people who are supporting this Cheat in the palace should rethink thier loyalties to her corrupt government...YOU PEOPLE WAKE UP!!!! Millions of our people are starving and yet she spent 2. something billions in expenses...(siguro para sa Suhol ng mga Corrupt Military Generals and Politicians) and corruptions the highest in history of the Philippines. Prices of Prime Comodities are higher than Mt. Apo but the value of Dollar is way way down so where does this sufferings ends and yet Her adminestration says Economy is going up..Let me remind you folks without OFW's influx of Dollars to thier love ones this adminestration will go Bankrupt... It's sad to say to say that the only solution to this problem is to start Fresh....Start over...get rid of all those corrupt people not only in the Gov't, the Military but also in civilian sector...and start a new generation...if you know what I mean...I'm sure there will be more of come...as long as she is still in the Palace....More power to those who stand firm on thier commitments for a better Government and well being of the Masses...God Bless you Guys and Good Luck you
and by the way the gma basher and haters should have rallied with their idol in manila pen today......
expect tomorrow's headline will be about trillanes holing up the manila pen instead of gdp growth at 6.6% in the 3rd quarter....
jhun if you are that frustrated with the current administration where are you today then? why not stand behind trillanes at manila pen, support him? then go by all means....pura ka dada....
let us not forget that trillanes has the moral authority to stage a standoff compared to gma. sen. trillanes was elected by the people despite the odds that were against him during the 2007 election. gma was never elected "fairly". worse, she was caught cheating, thanks to "hello garci". if people don't act on dislodging gma from the presidency, expect the worst in the future. just think how much it will cost the us, taxpayers, if the zte broadband deal, transco sale, congressmen payoff, etc...and all such other deals? phil assets like transco, real estate properties (like ny), are being sold for much lower price to her cronies. this govt has no conscience. she has to go and face trial for treason. she is not the government, she's a fake president.
