Trillianes’ hotel siege continues…
First, it was Oakwood…
Now… Its the Manila Peninsula.
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and Brigadier Gen. Danilo Lim walked out of a Makati City courtroom and called upon the Filipino people to withdraw support from President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
I was watching videos over gmanews.tv. Nothing new.. hahahha
Here they are walking their way to Manila Pen.
They were escorted by armed military men…
Here they are now.. in front of reporters and media men. They look serious.. =p
This is what Lim read:
“Today, we address all decent Filipinos to announce that now is the time to end the sufferings and miseries inflicted upon us by the illegitimate Gloria Macapagal Arroyo government and start a new life, a new Philippines. The die is cast pursuant to our constitutional mandate as protector of the people and state.
And by these acts the officers and men of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police supported by the masses of our people and the various political forces give substance to the constitutional provisions which says the Philippines is a democratic and republican state.
Sovereign peace resides in the people and all government authority emanate from them. That we take the faithful steps of removing Mrs Arroyo from the presidency and undertake the formation of a new government.
Mrs Arroyo had occupied the presidency under a questionable mandate publicly disputed by a vast majority of Filipinos. She stole the presidency from President Estrada through unconstitutional and deceitful means and later manipulated the results of the 2004 elections to perpetuate herself in power.
We have individually and collectively tried all means to resolve this legitimacy issue through the normal electoral, juidicial, and congressional processes but Mrs Arroyo used naked power through the issuance of Executive Order 464 and other executive proclamations and the sheer weight of numbers to paralyze the impeachment process procured at the people’s great expense to fustrate us at every turn.
After all these have failed our people tried to air their grievances in peaceful street assemblies. They thought they were exercising a combination of constitutional right which no official or agency of government may legally abridge but they were stopped and dispersed violently with cannons from firemen and truncheons from the police.
The abuses of our government continue the deliberate the deliberate refusal or failure of the dubious leaders to castigate and prosecute the people responsible for the scandalous Hello, Garci electoral cheating, the Joc-joc Bolante multi million peso fertilizer scam, Impsa bribery, the Jose Pidal and Jueteng scandals involving billions of public funds, the North Rail Project, scandal, the Venable contract scandal, the NBN scandal, the wholesale bribery of congressmen in Malacañang as well as the unabated and unresolved extrajudicial killings of citizens particularly journalists and members of the judiciary and the use of military and police officers for some unlawful mission.
Among others, these are clear proof of her failure for good and decent governance. There are numerous illegal and immoral activities and transactions conducted by these government with impunity that betray the citizens and the state of their pristine right to exist as a people with decency, dignity and integrity.
With all the avenues closed by the use of naked force, no other means remain but for the officers and men of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police to exercise their constitutional mandate and to take the side of the sovereign people against this illegitimate and unjust president.
We take due indulgence and apologize for any untoward disruptions attendant to fighting this righteous cause.
We are confident that the will of the sovereign people will prevail. The end of the corrupt and vicious government and its bogus leaders is long overdue.
We support the political and economic reforms that will be initiated by the new government regardless of the personal cause it may impose on each one of us.
We therefore call on our people and all the government around the world to give the constitutional rescue initiated by our patriotic brothers in the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police a chance to work.
To the task of organizing a new government and pursuing a program of total and no nonsense reform, we commit our full support.
We shall do whatever we can too to prevent any backsliding to the corruption and abuse of power of the immediate past and advance the cause of truth, freedom and justice, peace and progress for all Filipinos. God bless the Filipino people. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.”

Ok..
Which hotel would they conquer next?
- Shangri-la Makati
- Mandarin Hotel
- Dusit Hotel
- Renaissance Hotel
Wait, who chooses the hotel? Can the public choose?
Until the next hotel siege! (survivor series or amazing race???)
Sa makati lang naman magulo… sa Davao tahimik pa rin
Check out my other views here.
Wala na bang iba???? paulit paulit na lang S.O.S. ( Same Old Story ). KAINIS!!!!!!!!
RAWRRR! They deserve the death penalty!
Dapat lahat ng mga nandun at nagpakita ng suporta sa mga animales na yan ay arestuhin at pagkatapos i- firing squad.
God, I’m sick and tired of this people! They’re the same breed as the corrupt people they’re denouncing! Lahat naman sila eh corrupt na!
Trillianes for
Presidenton 2010!No!!!! Can’t be!!!!
Just when the Philippines is recovering from the Asian crisis and is becoming one of the fasterst growing economies in Asia, these people have the nerve to destroy the image of our beloved country!!! I’m here in America and people are admiring our country’s recent achievements - we had the strongest currency in Asia for the past 2 years; we’ve been chosen by Goldman Sachs as one of the “NEXT ELEVEN” countries with promising outlooks for investment and future growth… and a lot more! These attention and power seekers ought to go to Guantanamo Bay! Get lost Trillanes and company!!!
naniniwala ako sa mga adhikain ni sen. trillanes… pero sana ay humanap ng magandang timing para mai-sakatuparan ang iyong mga plano… suportado kita dito sa batangas hangang sa mga kababayan natin dito sa North America particularly LA calif…..
Dapat siguro i-pa check up sila (Trillanes, Lim, Guingona et al) sa psychiatrist…
Things happen for a reason… lahat tayo gusto ng pagbabago but only God the creator can change everything because He holds the future. Imbes na magalit tayo at mag rebelde sa gobyerno lets just lift up everything to God coz theres nothing impossible to Him. May God heal our land!!!!!!
i think they dont get it .. we know when to speak we dont need few people to speak for us ..
we know and understand what you are doing ..
if you want to hit the word corrupt to arroyo then wait until she ends her term .. that way we can say that you are not trying to corrupt her term ..
sa palagay ko hindi nila dapat ginawa ang ganung paraan, ngayon mas may dahilan ang supreme court para hind payagan si Trillanes na dumalo sa mga senate sssions.
abala lang sa lahat ang ginawa nila Trillanes kahapon nagkaroon pa ng curfew, naghihigpit lahat ng pulis etc… pero kung iicipin natin may puntos talaga si Trillanes kung bakit ginawa nya un ng paulit-ulit una na elected sya bilang senador ng Republika wala cyang nagagawa kc di cya pinapayagan dumalo o pumunta sa Senado panu siya makakagawa ng batas para sa mga tao ng Republika. pangalawa yung mga isyu na dapat sagutin ng Pamahalaan ni Arroyo di nasasagot. pangatlo yung mga taong dapat parusahan ng Batas di pa napaparusahan at alam natin lahat yan.pangapat sinasabi ni Gloria na malakas ang ekonomiya bakit hirap parin ang masa ang daming nagugutom nagtataasan ang mga bilihin ( ang paglakas ba ng ekonomiya eh para sa mayaman lang?).panglima Ang extra-judicial killings sa bansa hindi parin na reresolba. kahit ang UN nag salita na tungkol dyan. Ang hello Garci scandal, ang NBN project na napakalaki ng uutangin kung hindi nabuko. Ang pagiging lihitimong pagka Presidente ng Republika ni Arroyo nagkaroon ba ng linaw?.. at napakarami pang iba.. sa palagay ko may punto si Trillanes at iba pa.. kasi nakikita ni Trillanes walang kusang palo o walang paki elam na ang mga mamamayan ng Pilipinas sa kalagayan ng Bansa puro pang sarili ang iniisip.. basta busog ok na wala ng pakielam. pero reklamo tayo ng reklamo na nahihirapan bakit hindi mismo tayo ang gumawa ng pagbabago. pero sana hindi na talaga ginawa ni Trillanes ung ginawa nya kahapon… sana hinikayat nya na lang ng civil disobidience ang mga tao tulad na ginawa ni Cory Aquino noong panahon ni Marcos para maparating sa Gobyerno ngayon lihitimo man sila o hindi umayos sila ng buhay nila… un lang…
The investors doesn’t seem to care about this coup attempt. That’s why the Peso still strong after the standoff.
I thought it will be a $1 = 43php rate
Better exchange your dollars on or before December! I plan to exchange my paypal money this weekend…….xoom!!!!!!!
kung magplaplan sila nung mutiny, sana organized naman. kawawa lang yung mga inosenteng nadadamay…
[...] I’m surprised that ABS and GMA didn’t report about this. Maybe their too busy with the recent failed mini coup. [...]
