Why reward Trillanes?

From ED:In Regard to Trillanes perhaps would get elected to Senate, It is not a
reward, Folks should look at it as a 10 million plus protest vote, Folks you a
ll must understand your vote really counted and the only voice you have that no
one can take it away from every citizen that in legal age to vote and particip
ate, Moving up a ladder as one political tools, It is not necessary to start fr
om the bottom of politics ladder, Look at FPJ many still believes he was cheate
d of his rightfull place, Being Elected as President, again as I said lots folk
s still believe that He won the 2004 election hands down, and as a results so m
any GO senatorial bets won the election as of 8-2-2, Ok Villar and Legarda, Aqu
ino, Lacson most likely get Re-elected and Elected, I'm talking about , Escuder
o, Cayetano, Oimentel and Trillanes VS the like of Defensor, Zubiri, Pichay and
Cesar Montano...Only Zubiri did very well. among the TU candidates, But to say
Trillanes was rewarded, Many would say it a protest Vote, Now for positive not
es, Defensor, Pichay are seen close to Ms Arroyo, thats is the only reason why
they close, Now for Recto he was doom to begin with, he is a Perfect example of
Political butterfly, Now why Arroyo and Angara won theier re-election despite
being Political butterflies, it is simply" Planting Seeds" Grass root Politics
, Pag may ipinunongla merong AAnihin" Those two are perfect "TRAPO" now for Ore
tha aquino and Vic Sotto, they are truly a loser no Political base....Maybe Aqu
ino but Most credit to Former Senator Aquino went to His Son, and is supposed t
o be that way, Noynoy is pretty smart fellow, Now back to Trillanes, he was in
the right place at the Right time also Give Erap Credit, He saw it coming, Now
Erap is a very smart politician with good Vision, His Problem is like my proble
m, Hard to find a true friend, Perhaps His only True friend is FPJ, But He is v
ery popular therfore Erap deserve some credits for Trillanes, because He has to
allowed it to happened for Trillanes to run under GO Banner, and Don't forget
about mayor Binay smart and very articulate politician, He ahs picked a fight t
hat he knows he can Win, Twice or more Arroyo people back down and when trying
to take down Binay... He is true Politician and very samrt indeed, he has port
rayed himself as Victim of the oppression...Well Trillanes is good, he deserved
it, only Problem now is it may takes all his 10 million plus vote to get his w
ishes,, and His got his mandate, and people voted fore him, knowing He and seve
ral Snators Elect are stauch critics of thye President, The question is? WHERE
IS THE COMMANDS VOTES? Gone vanished Pilipino People are very Smart.. thats for
sure. have a nice day

why reward Trillanes? are you blind? did you ever put yourself into their feet?
how many of you in the military service, to tell you my father was in military
service for 20 years he took early retirement, he cannot stand the corruptness
of our government, why police got such a big increment in heor salary in which
more of them done bad things in the society how many of them are linked in the
illegal drugs, how much those military men recieved and yet they ofering their
lives in combat, have you gone to real battle? where is the military moderniza
tion project, who benefited from it, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo itself! are you st
upid eneough not to see these things? these men are not naive like everybody el
se they fight for their rights, who will listen to them? how many of them are s
uffering during war with guerillas? how much they recieve how many of them had
a good compensation? you just talked because you do not know anything! do you t
hingk these rallies is enough, I do not encourage anyone to do the same but som
etimes there are things needs to be done so that these government of our will k
now and understand what are the things to be prioritize, these military personn
el is so desperate of our government and they try to make a move so that everyb
ody may know that they do not just keep their mouth shut, goverment do not pay
respect to these people they tarined them to fight for us to fight for the coun
try and to fight for our rights, hello its time to wake up! why do you thinks
they are in the winning circle? ill tell you why, people put their trust to the
se guys because they are capable mnore than the puppets to Mrs. Arroyo! Im not
anti government but if you just open you mind wide then youll see our country i
s made of bunch of stupid officials, specially rabbit ear in the lower house.

Trillanes had the guts to stand up and say no to an abusive and bogus presiden
t. Do you have that Mr. Buddy Jose?

Why reward Trillanes?
06/07/07
Posted under Feedback, Antonio Trillanes
TRILLANES would not even win as barangay chairman before Oakwood.

Yes, the Philippine electorate rewarded Lt. Senior Grade Antonio Trillanes IV f
or causing untold suffering to the people by bringing down the economy and wrea
king havoc on the business community in co-masterminding the infamous Oakwood m
utiny.

He used this popularity to shortcut his way to the political arena. Why canât h
e do a Lacson and a Biazon who took the long road and got out of service and ra
n for public office on the merits of their accomplishments? Is he too ambitious
and could not wait for his turn? Letâs see if he will turn out to be like the
gentlemen I mentioned or will he be like Gringo who was rewarded again after wa
rming his seat in a forgettable stint in the Senate.

â Buddy Jose, Las Vegas, Nevada (via e-mail)

Fr: Salina

Buddy Jose: Infair naman yon sinasabi mo. Why don't you give him a chance
to prove himself to the filipino people.

The reason the filipino people vote for him because they believe what he is fig
hting for:

Further more Capt. Trillanes, Is the voice of many who can't speak for themsel
ves thats why he won in the senate. But, For my information the reason the come
lec did not declare him yet even though he's votes is more than enough to land
him secure in number 11 because the malacanyang palace want the comelec to hold
special election in MAGUINDANAO so that he won't be declare Senator elect in 1
4 congress.

And if that happen even though he loss this election the filipino people who vo
ted for him speak for itself. IT A SLAP TO GLORIA ARROYO, UGLY FACE!

And I'm one of those people who is slapping Gloria Arroyo, Ugly face! My entir
e family and most of people in my barrio voted for him and the entire oppositio
n.

Only in the Philippines. Goes to show how "educated" our pinoy voters are. In o
rder to be elected as a senator, one has to commit crimes, stage a coup, be fri
ends with drug lords, be a "respected" actor, etc. In short, be famous or "infa
mous", and you'll be a senator. These people know that pinoys are sick of the w
ay things are no matter who the president is, and they fan the flames by grands
tanding in public and attacking the current administration. Take Peter Allan Ca
yetano, people wouldn't have recalled his name if he didn't attack Mike Arroyo
with those bank accounts... Trillanes, on the other hand did another Honasan, a
nd thanks to the media, became a symbol of protest. Notwithstanding his "capabi
lity"... these coup adventurists are the reason why I moved out of the country
in the first place.... The first coup by Honasan, left me without any job offer
s, considering that a week before the coup, there were lots of jobs for me back
then... After the bloody coup (where Noynoy was also shot by Honasan's men - W
hat's up with Noynoy, cavorting with the enemy??? - that's another story btw) ,
jobs vanished, companies moved out of the phils., and people reward him by ele
cting him senator... all the while boasting that "he is the saviour" etc...

Only in the Philippines, where criminals facing jail time, can run for office (
due to our lengthy appeals system, they are not disqualified for office yet), g
et special treatment, and eventually, grabs a "get-out-of-jail" card...

I think the majority of filipino electorate are ignorant of the issues. Most of
the fililpino voters don't read newspapers because of the prohibitive costs of
newspapers.I am a professional, but when i was living in the Ph, i could not a
fford the prices of newspapers which was P10 to P14 for a reputable newspaper d
uring that time. Imagine spending this amount everyday?How much more today? Tru
e, they may have tv's or radios at home but such is reserved for soap operas, d
ramas, and shows whenever they have time to do so. They don't listen to politic
al issues and even hardly know the candidates, so they just go for the candidat
e whose name is familiar to them. Add to that the small favors or amount that t
hese politicians dangle in front of the them.

There are only two reasons why Trillanes won. First: There was strong undercurr
ent of protest against the Administration that borrowing the kanto parlance" ka
hit aso ang kalaban ng kandidato ni Gloria eh mananalo." This happened before d
uring the time of Cory Aquino. The people's protest vote against the remnants o
f the Marcos regime saw 22 of Cory's anointed senatorial candidates winning and
only Erap and Enrile from the Grand Alliance for Democracy (the opposition at
that time) surviving. In fact, Enrile almost did not make it and Erap was in th
e last eight positions. Erap won not because he was extremely popular but becau
se of sympathy votes. Nene Pimentel as DILG Secretary removed him as Mayor of S
an Juan and there was mini-people power in front of the municipal hall every da
y. The sight of pro-Erap crowd being flashed on the prime time newscasts reverb
erated throughout the land and has given Erap media mileage for months. Filipin
os love the underdog and this Erap exploited to the hilt and he was extremely g
ood at playing the oppressed role and the DILG as the villain.

The second: Trillanes is good looking (macho in the gay lingo). In the Oakwood
mutiny, he was not the real brain but someone else. He was camera friendly and
elolquent so the next thing we saw was Trillanes facing the cameras always in b
ehalf of his comrades. In fact, just to dramatize how strong his machismo is; t
here immediately appeared a sex starlet who assumed a Trillanes surname.

The Filipino people are just suckers for good looking candidates. The same trai
t catapulted Gringo to the Senate the first time. He was oozing with machismo t
hat the female population just can't have enough of him. History just repeats i
tself.

Whether Trillanes will be a good senator is the big question. Where on earth ca
n you find a senator announcing that he will work for the impeachment of GMA. H
e should be taught the basics of law making first so he will understand his rol
e during the impeachment. He should be reminded that in impeachment, a senator
sits as a jury and not a prosecutor. Oh well, that's what you get if you plunge
into a situation you least prepared.

To the question: Why reward Trillanes? Well, Filipinos are just masochists. We
just don't have the proper sense of right and wrong. We are agitated by the sup
posed sins of GMA but the brazen crime that Trillanes and company committed tha
t brought the country to its knees is glossed over and now you see him probably
as senator elect. And the same people who voted for him and others like him ex
pect the country to progress? God must have cursed the country named Philippin
es.

Personally, I couldn't care less whether the country will again retrogress beca
use of the presence of destructive oppositionists in the Senate. I have good sa
lary in foreign currency and I don't stay there much of my time. Let the people
who voted for the coup plotters and grandstanders suffer. They deserve all the
hunger in the country. They never learn so let them suffer for their stupidity
.

Fr: Salina

Ed: Thank you, For this posting! Yes, You're absulotely right, This is a p
rotest vote against the bugos regime of Gloria Arroyo.

Thank you! And more power to you. We need more people like you who can speak fo
r what is right. Is there anyone else?

Salinas.

Trillanes was NOT being a patriot by staging Oakwood, neither is he being one n
ow by making his agenda as senator to bring down GMA and destabilize the govt a
nd economy and bring us back from whatever gains we have made in the last few y
ears. The world is not black and white so he and other people who have their hi
gh hats on should stop being an idealist and work for actual, tangible results.
Does he have anything better to propose or implement which can bring our coun
try more competetive internationally? It's a global economy now, whether he li
kes it or not, even if he tries to bury his head in the sand. So whatever port
rayal of the Phils. he creates by what he does in govt, like for example an imp
eachment trial, he destroys or builds the Phils. He creates or eliminates inves
tors/businesses/jobs. He increases/lowers unemployment. He improves/worsens p
overty of the Phils. So people like him should think twice. If everyone alway
s thinks he can do better and just sets out to discredit whoever's in office, w
e'll just be a country in a vicious cycle of bright ideas and good intentions w
ith ZERO results going nowhere.

As for now, Trillanes appears to be a type of an aggressive young warrior. What
drives him to fight Arroyo appears to be not really based on anti-graft spirit
. Taking sides with Erap makes him more to appear as hypocrite. If he really is
against corruption, he instead would have run as an independent. Or maybe he i
s just obsessed to fight Arroyo which blinded his judgment. Then his anti-corru
ption stance is dubious.

He is a novice in politics as shown by his agenda. His character as a soldier,
determined to finish his mission, is a good trait but his aim may be short-sigh
ted. After impeaching Arroyo, then what is next for him? His objectives of âcle
ansingâ corruption in the whole government? This young Senator might get surpri
sed that even in the institution where he is elected, corruption is rampant. As
ide from the Php 35,000 monthly allowance, PDAF of Php 200 Million, gas allowan
ce, clothing allowance, food allowance, office allowance, staff allowance, etc.
endless allowances. (Are you surprised? Do you think the Senate is a righteous
place as portrayed by media?) PDAF (pork barrel) alone is tainted with corrupt
ion.

Many have fought corruption since Pres. Elpidio Qurinoâs time until we had the
1986 and 2001 EDSAâs but what was the outcome? Corruption is still rampant. NAP
OCOR, DPWH, DOH, DOTC, DTI, BIR, COMELEC, DND, PAGCOR are among the many govern
ment institutions that corruption is known, only for a few though. That was why
Erap had an easy management of the government. With a large bureaucracy as the
Philippines, it would only be a dream for Trillanes to attain total eradicatio
n of graft and corruption. (Not unless ALL the people in the government startin
g from an EMPLOYEE will have reforms, which is very near to impossibility.)

He has the Katipunero mind of Bonifacio, who, unknown to many, had not won any
revolution. He had a different view with Rizal, whose aim was reformation, firs
t of the masses then the leaders like Bonifacio. The objectives of Rizal were f
ollowed by the Katipuneros of Cavite of whom Aguinaldo was the leader.

Trillanes won the hearts of the many aggressive young voters. But these young o
nes, idealistic as they may be, must search within Trillanes because politics i
n reality is just a façade of what a politician is up to. His signs of impatie
nce and intemperance are not a good symptom of a leader supposed to be with int
egrity. And from the start then, he might not be really for genuine change sinc
e his first steps did not show it.

Then the question, âWhy reward Trillanes?â

"Trillanes had the guts to stand up and say no to an abusive and bogus presiden
t. Do you have that Mr. Buddy Jose?"

he is as dirty as the dirty politicians in our country....pathetic....he is a c
riminal, staged a mutiny who endangered lives of individuals, ruin the economy
etc....

I wonder if you will react the same way if it turned bloody and one of your lov
ed ones was killled....

Same thing with that journalist who wrote that this guy who took hostage kids i
s a hero....I wonder if his son/daughter was inside on that bus that same day..
.. i wonder if he can still write the same way..

People are full of crap nowadays...

only in the Philippines.....

Fr: Salina

Tiyay, Rose: Why don't you give Capt. Trillanes, A chance to prove himself
to the filipino people before you judges him.

Look where Gloria Arroyo, Bring the Philippines. If is not to the gutter. What
booming economy are you talking about. her pad so call economy? Its a joke!
If its true that the economy is booming why is it there is more filipino people
are starving. How can you justify that. Aber!
These so call 6.9% she's bragging about is a temporary situation. Lets see what
s the so call booming economy of her in the next three month.
I'll guarantee you, We all find out soon enough. That I'm not lying. I'm just t
elling the truth.

Thanks to her she just put the Philippines in the map of number one corrupt in
asia. Number two human right violation in the world. Do you know what that mean
s? I guess not. Only stupid cannot understand that.

Ed, you are right. Trillanes didn't get rewards. It was a voice out anti corrup
tion. I think Filipinos are tired of fighting the corruption by themselves and
getting killed, Trillanes came out of nowhere and stood out and ready to die fo
r them, that's what filipinos really like to see. Ninoy sacrificed his life for
all filipinos, and its been a while now. Corruptions and political killings wa
s gone for sometime, and it came back strong with Erap ( no political killings)
then GMA (with a lot of killings) like marcos, they intimidate the people. Peo
ple can easily intimidated and bribe with money or promotions, because a lot of
Filipinos are poor and the gap between median, pverty level and the rich are s
o wide. Rich Filipinos are Wealthy, poor Filipinos got nothing at all. We have
to patch the gap, it is kinda hard but it's one of the way to get there. You m
ay think otherwise but, here in the US Ordinary people can do what wealthy peo
ple does. People doesn't have to do extra ordinary to go to Disney land, for ex
ample, or eat grapes, oranges,steak, etc. You can feel the equality of human ri
ghts. The feelings of freedom in all aspects of life. If you need help call a c
ops they'll help you, they dont care if you got a job or not. Whereas in the Ph
ilippines, somebody's dad has to help his "kumpare" to be able to have extra mo
ney. What i'm trying to say is bring up the poor people to a comfortable level,
If they're lazy they'll be left out. Prioritise these people, dont feel jealou
s if other Filipinos are making more money than you. Trillanes's advocacy is on
the right track. I can't wait for this young man to start leading our Country,
not in the near future, let him get his feet wet, and soon we'll find out what
he is really all about. To all Filipinos in or out of the country don't lose h
ope, give your help in anyway, invest in our country, Korea did it, japan did i
t, Taiwan, China, and now India is getting Industrialized, I may not be able to
see it in my lifetime but I'll be very proud.

Well, Well, Well. You may not know it but thats exactly what the filipino peopl

If Capt. Trillanes, Is a coup plotter, Can you tell me, What Gloria Arroyo, Did
? Did she not do the same thing? The only different is, She succeeded on her co
up d'tat. Against the duly elected President Joseph Estrada. She's the one shou

Excuse me sir! why did not you include Gloria Arroyo, Since she's the bigg
est crooks. Why only the people you don't like. You're not being fair. This is
one of the reason why the Philippines could never get out from under. Because p
eople who's only blaming the people they do not like. The people who's doing th
e evil thing can sit in malacanyang palace because they have the support of the
crooks like themselves.

Trillanes indeed deserved the supoort of the people. He stood strong, in circu
mstances nobody dared. There seems to be something wrong with people who accus
sed Trillanes of wrong doing. Is it wrong to call the currupt and decietful pr
esident with its allies to step off? This election, few might have realized, b
ut the majority of the AFP soldiers and officers gave a strong support to Trill
anes, who stood for thier cause. "Getting rid" of the CURRIPT "commander-in c
hief" and the "generals" who PIMPS thier lowly subordinates. Let all the voice
of lowly soldiers be heard thru Trillanes.

That's how dumb Filipino voters are!!! Philippine election has always been a ci
rcus. Let's be honest with ourselves, how many out of 10 government officials a
re dishonest?
Answer: 11 out of 10!

Trillanes' Senate position given to him by the Filipinos is not as much as a re
ward to him but rather a check and balance to neutralize or defeat Gloria's she
nanigans now and in the future.

The political victory of ex- Navy Lt. Antonio Trillanes IV is a repudiation of
morally bankrupt Arroyo regime. The more than 10 million voters supported his a
nti-corruption advocacy and protest vote against GMAâs anti-people policies. Ma
jority of the Filipino people based on surveys want the ouster of bogus Preside
nt Gloria Arroyo whether via military intervention, resignation or peopleâs upr
ising. The victory of the Genuine Opposition-UNO in the senate race is no confi
dence vote against Gloria Arroyo and her corrupt government. Finally, the ultim
ate reward will be the prosecution and conviction of Jose Pidal and Gloria for
their crimes against the Filipino people.

What? Im sure you voted for him. You know what its really really sad Filipino
s know squat about what people in Congress should be doing. The start of this
session is doomed from the get go - nothing will be passed for obvious reasons
- oh wait - sorry, people dont get it - so it cant be obvious. I really thou
ght there was hope.........Trillanes? what a joke. We vote for these people -
we deserve out fate.

I voted for Trillanes because he represents hope for the country. I am rewardin
g him for his courage to put his life on the line to shock the system that is s
till full of political clowns. Yes we are willing to go with Trillanes if that'
s what it takes. The people have spoken. No amount of questioning the wisdom of
our vote will change the fact that Trillanes will be a Senator of the Republic
. So stand back and let him continue his fight.

People always miss the point. Trillanes is there because 10 million of us want
to tell this government that this country needs a voice every now and then, som
eone to voice our anger with the state of governance in this country. That it i
s our hope that all regardless of what political fence they are in should be ma
de accountable to the havoc they have made on our lives by their stealing and c
orruption. He is only one of our voices which we desperately want to get accros
s those people who until now are betrayed by those who lead them but do not rea
lly care for them. We, the 10 million of us who voted for him would like to tel
l this country that we would wish that those who are corrupt must be tried and
convicted for their wrongs. Those people who think otherwise should examine wha
t they want because this is what we want. Hope there are more Trillanes out the
re. God help us.

Is there anyone of you who knows Mr. Trillanes personally? This man was elected
by the Filipino people through the real democratic way, in a honest election.
Not the so-called People Power way and without Garci. So I think it's unfair to
judge him right away. Judging him means judging the 10 million Filipinos who v
oted for him. I honestly believe he won, not because of whatever stunts he did
before, not because of good looks but because the Filipino people were looking
for somebody who can stand-up against a questionable president and lunatic just
ice secretary. The GO dominated the senate election not because they were ident
ified with Erap but because the ordinary Filipino people who live by the day sa
w hope in them. If Michael Defensor or Recto went independent, or even GO. they
could have won. They lost because they were identified with a questionable pre
sident. I would rather see a fresh face, untested but has a potential than a TR
APO to sit in the senate .

The next elections will be interesting: More Military men running for governmen
t, more Priests, Pastors running for government.

God help the Philippines!

Why reward Trillanes?
06/07/07
Posted under Feedback, Antonio Trillanes
TRILLANES would not even win as barangay chairman before Oakwood.

Yes, the Philippine electorate rewarded Lt. Senior Grade Antonio Trillanes IV f
or causing untold suffering to the people by bringing down the economy and wrea
king havoc on the business community in co-masterminding the infamous Oakwood m
utiny.

He used this popularity to shortcut his way to the political arena. Why canât h
e do a Lacson and a Biazon who took the long road and got out of service and ra
n for public office on the merits of their accomplishments? Is he too ambitious
and could not wait for his turn? Letâs see if he will turn out to be like the
gentlemen I mentioned or will he be like Gringo who was rewarded again after wa
rming his seat in a forgettable stint in the Senate.

If getting rotten in jail is a reward. You better think again! Not atleast
you don't know the meaning of it. Capt. Trillanes, Won this election simply be
cause he speak from the heart. And he represent the people who cannot speak for
themselves.

Just to let you know that the votes for Capt. Trillanes, Is a protest votes. Ag
ainst the bugos regime of Gloria Arroyo.
Not alteast you don't know that. WE JUST HAD A PEOPLE POWER VOTES!
against the bugos President of cebu. Its time to overhaul the entire corrupt go
vernment office's. Start from Gloria Arroyo. Its overdue! DITCH HER OUT.

SALINA:
Excuse me sir! why did not you include Gloria Arroyo, Since sheâs the biggest c
rooks. Why only the people you donât like. Youâre not being fair. This is one o
f the reason why the Philippines could never get out from under. Because people
whoâs only blaming the people they do not like. The people whoâs doing the evi
l thing can sit in malacanyang palace because they have the support of the croo
ks like themselves.

Fr Tonio:
Salina, don't hit yourself. Don't tell people not to blame those they do not li
ke because you have been doing it across all posts.

If you insist that GMA is a bogus president, simply because of a corrupted "Gar
ci" tape that will not stand in court (and for which no final resolution in the
legislative has been made, despite grandstanding of both congressmen and senat
ors, squezzing to the last drop of blood whatever publicity the issue can gener
ate), why dont you people be the one to work for its final resolution. Let's b
ring GMA down with the Garci tape, with all proper evidence and in the proper c
ourts. Tama na ang basta pag-aakusa na lang.

i don't think trillanes is showing us his true colors of a clean image as compa
red to cleansing the arroyo administration by impeacment. because he himself al
igned with a "more" corrupt leader in the person of erap. at his young age i fo
und him a hypocrite. he really has ambition. and he will fulfill that ambition
at whatever cost. now it can be told that the main reason why he staged that in
famous oakwood mutiny is to let himself known and be with people he is accusing
of. why? is the senate that clean? and how clean was he when he was a soldier?
so young and yet so hypocrite?

Hindi natin dapat sisihin ang ating mga kababayan na bomoto kay LtSG Trillanes.
Tayo ay dapat magpunyagi na mayroon tayong kakayahan na pumili at maghalal ng
sino mang pinuno natin sa senado. Mayroong mga bansa sa ibang bahagi ng mundo n
a walang kakayahan na pumili ng naaayon sa kanilang kalooban.

Ang hindi lang maabot ng aking isipan ay kung bakit nananalo pa rin ang mga tao
ng nagpapasimuno ng mga kaguluhan na nagtatangkang iluklok muli tayo sa kangkun
gan, na ginagawang paraan ang pulitika para matakasan ang kulungan.

Ang ating bansa ay isang katatawanan sa mundo.

Saan mo ba makikita, na upang mailigtas ang sarili sa pagtataksil sa bansa, mag
ing pulitiko na lamang at sa impluwensiya at yaman ay magpakasasa? Itago na lam
ang sa intensyon na "gagawin para sa prinsipyo at sa bansa".

Balang araw susundan ko ang kanilang mga yapak. Sasapi ako sa kontra-gobyerno m
a mayroong rebolusyunaryong adhikain. Kapag nanalo kami sa "coup", bayani ako
. Kapag natalo kami sa "coup", kakandidato ako at siguradong mananalo ako dahil
hindi popular ang administrasyon na kalaban ko.

Kawawa naman ang mga Pilipino! Sa kangkungan na naman tayo.

Michael De Guzman

matutulog lang yan si trillanes sa senado, kagaya ni kuya gringo. pustahan tayo
!

I'm fed up with these protest votes claim. There never was a so called protest
votes. There are more non-thinking votes that intelligent votes. Thinking voter
s who voted for Trillanes had a reason and the rest had none. Anyone who think
s that Filipinos are now smart voters belongs to the opposition and they are fa
ntasizing. The administration knew that voters are still stupid, but they never
expected them to be that dumb. Secret, all you need is one million morons to g
et Arroyo out of office. Trillanes had 12 million. You do the math. Honasan got
more votes than Trillanes. What does that tell you? The media will soon have a
field day with Trillanes for his big mouth. This person is one of the dumbest
I have ever heard. Hey Trillanes, GDP does not include the poor. GDP = consumpt
ion + investment + (government spending) + (exports â imports) Where is the poo
r again?

What hope can we expect from Trillanes. What can he do in the senate? Today eve
n Miriam Santiago and Nene Pimentel cannot produce good bills despite her skill
s and training. Trillanes will just be like Honasan who stayed in the senate wi
th zero accomplishment. Idolizing them only invites more military men to take u
p adventurism. Instead of discipline, there will be instability in the military
and in our country.

Well, I will just say good luck to Trillanes and those who voted for him. Let's
see what the senate will be with these weird people joining the fray.

The vote for trillanes is a vote against the corruption in the entire country.
In him people see an honest individual - someone who is willing to risk everyt
hing to correct what must be corrected.

Isn't that simple?

stop calling him Lieutenant! he is mr trillanes now unless he gets the 13th se
at.

You can call him anything you want. I'm pretty sure he don't mind. He's wi

l your chicken's to plant more kamote so that they have something to add in sin

Why reward Trillanes.

As a voter, we also look at their educational accomplishment. Aside to that is
their principles. He simply enunciate all wrong doing of his superior and for t
hat he stage a mutiny.

To be a successful senator, he can consult or hire a group of people to researc
h on the Laws he want to make. just like what every other senators are doing. I
think even Miriam Defensor couldnt do it all by herself.

We can all help the Senator elect. we can act together, warn them and be vigila
nce

Good am ,
Pls. let's not judge the person right now. Let's see in the next 6 yrs. Anyway
i think the more than 10 million people who voted for him will be on guard. To
me personnally i am seeing in him as a PMA-er that the doctrine he has deep ins
ide will drive him to become a good senator and i know senator trillanes will r
epay back to the more than 10 million filipinos who supported him. God Bless us
!

Trillanes won because more number of Filipinos voted for him than the one he be
ats...down to the 12th slots. He did not violate the constitution. He did not
concocted with a double-cara senator friend of Estrada, who was Angara. And Tr
illanes, based on his record and what he told the Filipinos he will do, got the
people's permission to speak up accordingly, based on why he was elected. The
Filipinos have enough of this convoluted bogus squatter in the Malacanang whos
e deception goes on unabetted and without shame. All those who are benefitting
from her power grab, of course, will fight tooth and nail to keep her in Malac
anang, like the prostituted justices, the politicized military generals, and he
r political party and their cronies. Thank the Lord, Trillanes Won. Thank the
Lord almost all the GO senators won. And now we will have to pray hard so tha
t this De Venecia will not succeed in destroying the only government that allow
s direct participation of the people in governing themselves. Mabuhay si Trill
anes!!!

All I know is that we are in a mess till 2010.

Nothing will ever gets done since all these "elected" senators will be very bus
y to know if they could be elected as "President".

By the way, if PGMA is a crook, then people should start collecting evidences a
nd have a case ready by 2010. Let the judicial system work for us.

Then, the we will be famous again, we will have a world record of having two ex
-presidents in jail.

Hindi ba may kasabihan tayo na ang boses ng tao ay siyang boses ng Diyos.Si Tri
llanes ay nanalo sa malinis na paraan(kung hindi dadayain).May dahilan kung bak
it siya ibinoto ng milyung milyung Pilipino.Kaya huwag nating husgahan kaagad k
ung ano ang magagawa niya.

immatue filipino voters⦠we vote for pityness, popularity and underdog few peo
ple cares about family values ,dignity ,
wisdom, educational achievement..I dont really mind GMA she got the educational
achievement and family valuesâ¦

Why reward trillanes, I voted for him because I believe that a vote for him is
a vote against a fake president. I rather have him in the senate than arroyos d
ogs like pichay, zubiri or defensor who'se priority is to abolish senate and sh
ift us to a parliamentary form of goverment thus removing our rights to vote fo
r the highest official of the country.

salina
you are a diedhard fan of Trillanes isn't it?

why don't you just let this people post their opinions.

kaw ba ano na ang na share mong productive sa Pinas? cricitize GMA that's it?

Ang masasabi ko lang sa sumulat ng post na ito. Opinion is like an asshole. Eve
rybody 's got one.

Please po. Keep your opinion about Trillanes to yourself.

Because your opinion stinks.

The tendency for democracy placed on lazy, unthinking people is for it to put m
ediocrity in power. Democracy can also be a potent weapon for crooks to invoke
-- to propagate corruption. Democracy, where everybody has a say about a lot of
issues, but not really much substantial to say, and lacking structure, is an i
nvitation in chaos, drowning the real issues to focus on and letting the bad ca
ndidates get away with the real deal.
The Philippines has democracy in all three contexts. And what do we have as a r
esult? An incompetent, corrupt president. At least two presidents who won by th
e counting, not by the actual vote. And a crop of elected senators and local of
ficials more than three-fourths of them have contributed to the ruin of the cou
ntry. Hello, Pilipinas.

I just stumbled on this website and read all postings. My golly, many posters h
ere have horrible English! Starting with ED, Salina and others, your grammar s
tinks. Mag Tagalog na lang kayo.

By the way we in Pampanga (GMA's home province) voted out 2 canditates of Glori
a. We also voted Trillanes to 22nd place, Gringo to 21stplace. The topnother wa
s got something like 380,00 and Trillanes and Gringo got only about 50,000. Wha
t a thrashing!! So it cannot be said that we are pro-Gloria since we rejected h
er candidates.
Trillanes is really the biggest hypocrite.. He is against corruption??? Why is
he with Erap?? Pray tell me.
Protest votes? I don't think so. Why did we not vote Sonio Roco who is also opp
ositionist, but without the sins of Trillanes?
Granting that GMA is bad, why elect Trillanes, an ambitious trouble maker, host
age taker (he blackmailed the government by taking Oakwood as hostage), immatur
e (he doesn't know the role of a senator - he threatens to impeach GMA when is
is supposed to be a senator-judge in an impeachment proceeding), a coward (afte
r doing Oakwood and failed, he backpedalled and said they are only for reforms,
and if I remember correctly, his group kind of apologize for what they did. If
you are courageous, you won't backpedal even if put to death.

To the guy who said we deserve what we get here in the Philippines, I partially
agree. What about those who don't deserve Trillanes but were outvoted?

Oh well, let's not look for heaven here on earth. It's a valley of tears, isn't
it?

It's unfair!! But.....Who said that Life is fair??

Magpakabuti na lang tayo in our own little ways, so that when everything is ove
r and done.. we will get justtice and happiness in heaven. Amen??

MANILA, Philippines -- Faced with the possibility of being led by a member of t
he majority coalition, the opposition in the House of Representatives are explo
ring other options on how it would position itself in the fight for the speaker
ship in the 14th Congress.

Speaker Jose de Venecia of the Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) and
Cebu Rep. Pablo Garcia of the Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (Kampi, Partner o
f the Free Filipino), both allied in the majority coalition, are the main conte
nders for the post.

Fr: Salina

To the opposition. Don't let KAMPI/LAKAS get the speakership. If you do yo
u're all dead meat.

isa ako sa mga bomoto kay trillanes. ngunit bago ko ito isinagawa kasama ang ak
ing buong pamilya, pinagisipan namin ito. sabi ng ilang mga komento, istupido a
ng mga bomoto kay trillanes!!para makita natin kung bakit deserving siya sa ami
ng boto. unang basehan, ang maraming bilang sa kanyang mga kasama ay sumuko na
kay gloria, pero siya at ilang mga kasama niya ay nanatili sa kanliang tindig.
marahil ang kanyang pagtakbo isang paraan upang makita na tama ang kanilang ipi
naglalaban. at nakita nga natin na kahit di siya nangampanya kung tutuusin ay p
ang-11 siya. kung sariling interes at ipokrito siya katulad ni gambala di ginaw
a na sana niya ang sumuko. pangalawa, kung susuriin natin ang kanyang uri, PMA'
r siya di ba? at intellectual siyempre. ang ilang mga taong ganyan na may patut
unguhan sana sa militar kung gagayahin nila sina esperon at mga ilang nakaraan
ng mga PMA'r na nagsamantala sa mga pilipino e di kawawa lalo tayo kasi maramin
g magagaling katulad ni Trillanes na magagamit ang mga suwapang at ganid. panga
tlo, kailangan nating sumugal sa panahon na ito, ang sistema natin ay talagang
kasama ang popularidad, ngunit bihira sa mga popular ang kayang magsalita laban
sa maling sistemang umiiral, mabibilang lamang ang may consistent na tindig an
diyan sina Satur Ocampo at Crispin Beltran na tumanda na at di pa rin nagbabago
. para sa bayan pa rin ang kanilang isinusulong, kasi kung sila ay makasarili e
di mayaman na rin sila.
balik tayo kay trillanes, kung nagdududda ang mga makasarili sa intensiyon ni t
rillanes, hamunin natin siyang mamili alinman sa 2: (1) sumuko na lang siya at
pabayaan na lamng si gloria at alipores niya tutal naman ay umuunlad kuno ang a
ting bayan( di naman namin mramdaman ang sinasabi nilang figure) o kung hindi a
y (2)babarilin siya katulad ni Jose Rizal.
para sa akin, mas pipiliin niya ang pangalawa para lamang mapatunayan niya na m
alinis ang kanyang ipinaglalaban.
panghuli, magising tayo sa katotohanan na may mga tao talaga kabataan man o mas
matanda na nagigising at handang magsakripisyo para sa bayan. dahil kung hindi
lalo lamang lulubog ang ating bayan sa pagkaalipin sa ibang bayan. kailangan n
ating bumangon at lumaban sa mga katulad ni gloria, 2 gonzales at esperon at et
ch.

The Filipino people have spoken, Let us wait till the people whom we voted will
assume the position. I dont vote for Trillanes, but he got the number of votes
required to become a Senator. Let us respect the will of the electorate. We ca
n only bring this country back to its feet, if each Filipino will help each oth
er. Let us contribute to the development and progress of this great nation, no
t by doing great things but by doing small things in a right way.
