Militants = Anarchists


this past few weeks i have been watching the news about the issue of a senate-less constitutional assembly and they nearly succeeded in pushing through with it. enter the militant groups and the so called civil society. for the longest time, i am very disappointed with these gang bangers always messing around our nation. they always claim they are fighting the vested interests of these politicians. i think otherwise. all they did is to create chaos and inflame the passion of the people by being warmongers.

clearly, all these militants want is to create chaos all the time in the hope of bringing down the government. thats their only goal ever since. that my friends is communism at work. the bolsheviks did the same in Russia. they always held rallies and demonstrations until the government gradually disintegrated, ushering in the century of socialism and communism. every time i see the militant leaders throwing scathing remarks at our government officials, i cant help but be disgusted with the way these people are acting. if they are so sure that the government is not doing anything, why don't they offer alternatives then?if given the chance to hold public office?forgive me for being cynical but i think when they get elected, they will become the people they despis,. become corrupt officials themselves.

don't you think that this militant congressmen and leaders are really for the people? i don't think so. they are the only ones who benefit from their pork barrel..to the extent that maybe they use it to buy arms to their cadres in the mountains to sow more terror in the countryside. i cant understand why this has happened in the first place. this militant leaders, they are very good at brainwashing. they don't want their members to work properly because they want them to be poor always. otherwise, they wont have the numbers to rally and demonstrate. its plain and simple. another thing, they always try to tell these marginalized groups whom they supposedly represent that that they are being stepped upon by big businesses and they have to fight oppression.

if this kind of thinking dominates majority of the Filipinos, i grieve for this country. ito ang klarong pang aabuso at panggagamit. preying upon the weaknesses of our less fortunate and illiterate countrymen to pursue change using anarchic means. ang kakapal ng mga mukha nitong mga militanteng ito. i agree with Sec. Gonzales of the Department of Justice. these students who are also militants should be expelled from the state universities. wala nang ginawa kundi mag reklamo. ang nagpapaaral naman sa inyo ay ang sambayanang Pilipino at ito ang kabayaran na makukuha? ang palaging pagkontra at pagtutol sa kung ano ano na lamang. hindi kayo nahihiya?

other people are earning a living, breaking bones and sweating it out in working double time.. and for what? paying taxes which in turn becomes the tuition fee of state university students. wag kayong magmalinis. hindi bagay eh. if you have done something awfully good for this country, i will rest my case, but i have yet to see something worthy of recognition. prove me wrong.

The Verdict on the Subic Rape Case














Late in the afternoon, i received several texts from my pals about the decision of the Judge regarding the Subic Rape case. when i tuned in to the television, i watched the promulgation and three out of the four marines were acquitted. Lance Corporal Daniel Smith however was not as lucky. he was sentenced with reclusion perpetua or life imprisonment for the so called rape the women's group had alleged for almost a year. i personally think that this was their fight, not the victims'. she was merely as mascot for their vested interests. let me reiterate the fact that they are a bunch of hypocrites and are merely grandstanding. i point out again that when one of the Tulfo brothers approached them for help to 2 teenage girls who were raped, they said bluntly that they cant or should i say won't help them because their busy preparing for the Subic Rape case. the refusal to help the victims is itself a heinous crime. so i asked, who are the real criminals now? i thought this womens group are the vanguards of Filipina's rights against oppression and yet they did not help victims? i mean wow. they are a choosy bunch.

now, with regards to the verdict, i think it was both fair and flawed. fair because at least one of the accused was proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt to have taken advantage of Nicole's state of drunkenness. however, drunk people should be held responsible for their actions because for example, if someone is drunk and killed another person, he would go to jail for homicide. but when a woman gets drunk and do some stuff or fools around, it becomes rape? now thats something! temporary loss of sanity due to intoxication is not an excuse to pursue legal remedy for an alleged rape. hay.the things people do.

moving on, i think the judgment was flawed because i thought that the three were accessories, so they should have been sentenced as well, even for a minimum prison term. but i guess this wasn't so because if the prosecution pursued this detail, they would have lost and become the laughingstock. so all they did is to focus on daniel smith's conviction. plain and simple. lets say this was their consolation prize.

in addition, i was disgusted by the prosecution lawyer for shouting in the courtroom and i quote "this is the victory of the Filipino people and of the Filipino women".
i mean a lawyer should compose herself to be decent and respectable, not go about ranting and shouting what can be construed as militancy in action. i guess some people never change..and to think that these people who organize militant groups are schooled in our public universities using taxpayers money..or should i say the taxes i paid. so what if we ask them to repay us just a little bit of gratitude by thanking us? i can wait but i hope it will be soon. this is my personal take on the fiasco that just happened today.
whats your opinion? post it.
