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.

Sen. Trillanes and his group just did it because there are no other recourse available to let GMA give up…all constitutional means have been used…but unfortunately, power-drunk GMA and “mukhang perang” cohorts including the self-represented, loyal CONGRESSMAN (everytime GMA has a problem kc, they will troop to Malacanang to express their support) has blocked all means to let justice reign…

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.
********************
I don’t blame Trillanes, Et. Al. For doing what they did. What economic gains are you talking about?! The so call economic Gloria Arroyo, Were talking about nothing but lies,….Her so call dream team economist pad the so call rosy economic so that they can borrow money to the world bank. If you really believe that the Philippines economy is rosy why is it the government fall short on their taxes colloction. Sabihin mo there so call rosy economy nothing but a big lie!!!!

What Sen. Trillanes has done is just a reflection of ongoing disgust, distrust and hopelessness of Filipino people under this corrupt and immoral Arroyo regime…Well, if the moralists failed again this time, vengeance will came from the Above….remember..all bad and evil leaders fall….there will be a day of reckoning…

It is stupid leaders like Trillanes and those priests and KSP na politicos that should be hang in the courts of justice. What they did today at the Manila Pen is a slap of the poor leadership of a supposed military leader and strategist in Trillanes. Ang pag iisip nya ay isip pulbura! Mabulok ka na sana sa kulungan!
And the media like Channel 2 broadcasters should stop haranguing the policemen who are doing their job. In the first place you choose to be in the battlefrront and yet you do not want to own responsibility of your biased type of broadcasting. Shame on you and your ilk!
It is about time the true Filipinos stand up and rise to tell all these so called leaders of the Filipino people to stop and leave us alone! Masyado ng pinaghihirap ninyo ang bayan!

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.
