What the f...?

What was ABS-CBN fussin' about? It's not as if their people were the only ones detained following the Manila Penn siege. I don't see the others complaining; I mean, not the way the Lopez crew were. They weren't being arrested, as Ms. Drilon and the rest of the studio anchors wanted us to believe!

Any person of intelligence knows that it is SOP (standard operating procedure) for police to check the identities and backgrounds of everyone found within the vicinity of a crime scene; which the Penn was. It is also standard procedure to de-brief the same as part of the investigation process.

Despite the explanations from the police chief, the military chief of staff and the DILG and DND Secretaries, the ABS-CBN people would let go. It makes me wonder... maybe they're party to the propaganda...

After all isn't somebody in the Lopez group involved in the foundation which supports the Magdalo? Maybe, they should have been arrested after all!

A Day of Reckoning

It's been a while since my last post because work has been hectic. As I am writing this short post, the rebel Trillanes is back to his old stunts. What does this bastard have for hotels? A fetish? Or doesn't he care for the inconvenience of a true and moral revolution. Or, maybe, his knowledge of military tactics is so limited that he can only defend a hotel; which is a formidable fortress indeed.

This time, I hope the government take DECISIVE action. Rebels should be dealt with appropriately; and by this I mean SHOOT THE F***ING BASTARDS! These mutineers should have been executed before a firing squad for their crimes from the start. It is only owing to the magnanimity of the government that they are allowed to continue pollute our air with their self-serving propaganda.

As he himself (Trillanes) said in a press statement "This is the last opportunity for change"; I hope that the government put these rebels in their proper places once and for all - and that is SIX FEET UNDER.

In taking decisive action, I hope the government make to answer for their transgressions the supporters of this renegade; including incumbent and has-been politicians, military and police officials and so-called civil society members. Let's put this nonsense behind us and get rid of these pests once and for all!

(Later in the day...)

So that's his game plan... It was all just a ruse, after all; mere propaganda meant to embarrass the government. So what else is new? This so-called freedom fighter doesn't really have what it takes to be a hero. He is only looking out for number one: HIMSELF!

"I was elected by 11 million" he said, and yet he rues the fact that because he is incarcerated, he cannot serve (read: take advantage of the perks of his office). He, like those who surrounded him today, is lamenting lost "economic opportunities" and occasions to wallow in power.

There were has-been politicians who are still hoping for one last chance to enrich themselves further; not content with having implanted their scions in positions of power. There were discredited former government appointees who, obviously, longing for the chance to regain their lost clout and wealth. There were members of the First Estate who, under the guise of pastoral duties, were there to further their influence and protect their vast economic interests. There were members of mass media who had their own personal axes to grind; or ratings to resurrect. And, of course, there were the communists who are just waiting in the wings for their opportunity to seize power.

What gets me is that so many fell for the drama. Doesn't the Filipino think for himself anymore? Does he still possess full faculties for clear and logical thought? How can a nincompoop like Trillanes take so many for a ride. He isn't even smart. Just listen to his impromptu interviews; his brain is empty. I hope he and his cohorts and supporters get what they justly deserve.
