Last 29 November 2007, we watched as the nation is again held in a momentary spectacle of an attempt to trample the present government and establish a new rule. Once again former Lt. 1st Grade and now Senator (in waiting?) Antonio Trillianes led a dramatic, eventful yet unsuccessful call to oust President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. (It was almost like a replay of the 2003 Oakwood Siege: same exciting beginning, same call for support from the people, same response from the Filipinos (deadma!) and exactly the same ending.)
We had seen what happened, thanks to the live and full media coverage by ABS-CBN. (Where was GMA News all that time? Hmmm I wonder…) We had heard from the perpetrators and their supporters their call for people action and indignation. We had witness the massive police action to control the situation. We have seen how Sen. Trillianes and company as well as the members of the media were hurled to the PNP buses enroute to Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig. We had endured the sudden declaration of a curfew covering NCR, Regions III and IV-A. We had heard the opinions of legitimate and pseudo political experts and what have to say.
The nation was once again agitated and rocked… but it would not be enough to arouse the slumbered sentiments of the Filipino populace. After the siege was over, after undergoing a curfew, it was just another day for Juan Dela Cruz, maybe just a little tougher that the usual but really not that spectacular.
As the dust from the events settle, it is a start of a new day once again. It is another day where Filipinos wake up and go about our daily routine businesses; work; school; chores etc. Sen. Trillianes, Brigadier General Danilo Lim and the rest of the remaining Magdalo soldiers were placed behind bars. While members of the media were processed and set free. Former Vice President Teofisto Guingona and the rest of the supporters of Sen. Trillianes were also set free in due consideration of their age and health.
Over the past decades there had been many attempts to destabilize the duly constituted republic. Calls for change had been numerous and with valid cause. There is a pressing need for positive and real change for the Philippine government all must agree to that. But questions remained unanswered.
Who would be the right person for the job? Is there such a person now? What must that person possess to take on the challenge of government?
When would be the right time for real change in government and the way we conduct Philippine politics?
Where is change going to start?
What would entail to rouse up the Filipino people once again? Is a violent revolution necessary?
How can change be brought about in context with the current socio-political setting?
Had we as a people resigned our fate to living in a society of imbalance and moral decay? Or are we just totally immune to the call for action by politicians and their self-serving motives?
These are the questions that linger in my mind…
After all had been said and done, I place my faith to the future and their dream.

all i can say is that... what Trillanes have done is not really right because he is already a senator therefore he should act like one... and yes, until now, maybe, the right person to lead has not yet born...

I think most of us have the same questions in mind and the answers yet to declare itself.
I was one of those who were glued to their television last thursday and watched and saw everything through the end. I think it was 10 am in the morning when I got wind of the "walk-out" and - I'm not sure if anyone feels the same - I felt quite excited and giddy with another call for a change in government, thinking that Trillanes learned his lesson from the Oakwood Mutiny and would see everything to the end or at least end it with concrete results. I don't know what I'm expecting - a bloody event or another people power - all I know is someone's trying to do something.
I got all worked up without asking questions on how Trillanes's party proposes to change the government (aside from ousting GMA); I "mentally" supported them - if there's really such a thing - and even rejoiced when a few minutes passed after three and still nothing happened.
But when it was clear that Trillanes and his colleagueas are planning to back out without even a fight, I said to myself "sabi na nga ba eh". As a radio commentator puts it "masama lang gising ni trillanes".
Now as I contemplate my initial reactions, I've recognized the various emotions that came that day. The excitement sprung from my desire for change, the cynicism from a series of disappointments rooted upon the inaction of those who are in power labeling themselves as people who are sick of the present system and the feeling of resignation from the recognition of the same questions posted in our professor's blog.
There seems to be an affliction in the present system whose obvious symptoms are the actions - or inactions, for that matter - of our leaders. We do try to cure it but the antidote seems to elude us. Much as I hate to admit it, I want change but fails to answer the questions mentioned. I think, until these answers are found, we'll still find corruption and public uprising a normalcy.
Thank God, those questions are not for midterms, because I'm sure I'd flunk it. =)
Cguro nga po tama kayo sa tnong niyo na kung may tamang tao na ba na dapat pra sa puwesto na yun at kung meron man ay cno yung tao na yun. Like you said on our last discussion, the system itself is the problem of our country but not our president or the people behind our government. Dapat nga po siguro na cmulan natin ang pagbabago sa ating sarili para mabago natin ang bansa sa kabuuan. Sa aking tingin ay dapat ganoon ang gawin ni Sen. Trillanes kahit na sabihin pa niyang para sa bansa natin ang kanyang ginagawa. Sino ba namang Pilipino ang ayaw guminhawa at umunlad ang ating bansang Pilipinas di ba?..Lahat naman tayo ayaw ng kahirapan kaya dapat na lang cguro taung makiaayon sa pamamahala ng pamahalaan at punahin kung may kamalian man ito.

We don't need right time in politics but right attitude. The politicians who supposed to be the first and for most supporter of the government shouldn't do action such as what senator Trillanes just did. How can the government push and drive people to unite with them if the officials themselves are not united. They tend to go in different ways, always putting each other down. Yes we need a change in the government but I don't think transitory government would be the solution. We neither can solve the problem nor change things in an instant. If he really want something better for this country, he wouldn't make ways to make Filipinos become divided again(anti and pro) instead he would find ways on how the government be able to drive all Filipinos to reach a common goal for this country.

Hi ulit Sir! Para naman sa taong magiging kapalit ng kasalukuyang pangulo (maging sino ka man), sana maging malawak ang pag-iisip niya. Sa kalagayan ba naman ng bansa natin ngayon, walang nakakaalam kung sino talaga 'yung karapat-dapat na maging pinuno. Pinuno na tulad ng motto ng GMA7, "walang kinikilingan..." pero lahat tayo dapat pinoprotektahan.
Sa tingin ko sa mga pagbabanta na ginagawa ni Senator Trillanes, paraan na 'yun para makapagbago ng mga tao, buhay o pananaw. Hindi nga lang lahat pero paunti-unti, paniguradong may mga nagbabago. Hindi naman magrereact ng ganyan si Senator Trillanes kung alam nilang may maling nangyayari.
Para sa akin, ayos lang kung magkaroon ng rebolusyon ulit pero sana 'yung tipong pinaghandaan naman. Hindi naman kailangang madaliin. Slowly but surely...hehe.
Siguro sanay na tayo sa buhay pulitika kahit 'di tayo mga pulitiko. Para sa akin lang, natututo naman tayo sa mga naririnig, nababasa o napapanood na mga balita kaya sana isabuhay natin.
-------------------------------------
Welllllllllllllll...... wala akong maisip na comments eh... anu nga bang nabago sa mundo, pa ulit-ulit lang naman ang nangyayari! Walang Pagbabago panu kasi, hindi sila nagbabasa ng Histroy... atsaka yung mga politiko naten na mababait eh wala na... napatalsik na O Baka Nga Patay na Eh... Ganyan sila kasama... Mga Utak Talangka! Kahit yung pinakamataas eh kinokontrol ng mas mababa sa kanya, panu takot silang tumayo para sa KATOTOHANAN... Hay Ang Buhay nga naman! Para naman Kay Trillanes... NICE TRY!!! Sa susunod na gagawa ka ng hakbang eh ayus-ayusin mo naman... Mag plano ka ng Mabuti baka maganyak mo kong sumali sayo... Kaw Din laking tulong ko dyan... At Wag Na tayung magsimula sa sarili naten ala namang nangyayari eh... Iilan Lang naman ang nagbabago...
Baket hindi naten Simulan Sa Kanya Baka sakaling May Magbago...

Hi ser! Ako ulet..
Sa totoo lang e late ko nang nalaman yung balita tungkol sa kudeta kasi wala ako sa bahay nun. pero me mga mga nagtex saken at dun ko lang nalaman, nagtanong-tanong din ako ng mga impormasyon tungkol dun sa kudeta.. Naki-chismis din ako dun sa mga manong na nanunuod ng tv at nagulat ako kasi nakarinig nanaman ako ng mga salitang "teargas", "me binasag sa Manila Peninsula". "kudeta", at "Trillanes". Nasabi ko na lang sa sarili ko, "WAW! Sikat nanaman si Trillanes! May pinaplano nanaman to..
Sa palagay ko lang, nagkudeta sya nung sa Oakwook 2003 para sumikat yung pangalan nya.. at nung sikat na sya.. ayun, tumakbong senator.. nanalo naman.. tapos ngayon, nagkudeta nanaman sa Manila Peninsula, mas malake yung venue nya di gaya sa Oakwood.. mataas na posisyon kaya sunod nyang target?
kung magiging presidente man si Trillanes, ok din.. kasi sundalo yun e.. madisiplina yun, kaso wag naman nya sanang gawin na parang martial law yung gobyerno natin.. tapos, dapat e sumunod din yung mga tao sa mga batas para walang away.. dun natin makakamit ang isang matatag na republika kung ang gobyerno at ang mga mamamayan ay magtutulungan..
sana mangyari nga na ang mga mamamayan at ang gobyerno ay nagkakasundo.. sana mangyari din na maganda ang pamamalakad ng gobyerno at ang mga tao ay may tiwala sa kanila..
may isang araw.. babangon muli ang Pilipinas! haha

I was actually apalled by Trillanes lack of respect for democratic institutions like the Judiciary. I wonder why he run for the Sneate? What a shame, what a waste. He's misguided. The power from the barrel is only good as long as the barrel would fire, but he got flabbergasted. Too bad.
.good day sir!
About the MANILA PEN SIEGE, i agree to what you have said that it was the same as the 2003 Oakwood Siege: same exciting beginning(mind blowing...! BOOM!) and ended like "wala lang". About Trillanes, i really admire his Bravery, his guts(waa, i salute him talaga!). Indeed, tama yung mga sinabi nya na KELANGAN NA NATEN NG PAGBABAGO, at yung PATALSIKIN SI GLORIA statement nya.. ahm,. no comment! cool! but, i think, wrong timing and wrong thinking is what trillanes have.. wala tlga sa timing! sayang lang yung effort NILA! haay, and i was shocked when the the PNP hold the media.. kala ko nga mag mamartial law na. It seems that they have overeacted on that(but they have the right too.. haay).
I also agreed on what you've said that there have been so many attemps to destabilize the government, medyo nkakasawa na din ung ganitong paulit ulit na scenario- tila ang politics dito sa 'pinas ay isang teleserye, "ang teleserye ng totoong buhay". nakakatawa ring isipin na andame tlagang mga "weirdness" ang government, kaya halos madameng hindi nkakaintindi sa kanila at ayon nga, madame ding nwiwindang sa mga pinagagawa ng mga destabilizers at supporters ng government na ito.
Ahm, the word CHANGE is CONSTANT in this world. And everybody undergoes CHANGES in their lives, they can stop it because changes will and will really come. Even in our Government, araw-araw may nangyayaring mga pagbabago dito, sa kasamaan man o sa kabutihan, ang pagbabago ay nandyan lamang. Mhirap din mag-isip ng mga kaparaanan kung pano mababago ang gobyerno natin sa kadahilanang kahit sa mga sarili natin ay hindi rin natin nailalagay sa tama ang amg bagay bagay. I cant say also that the government cant hear us sa mga hinaing natin laban sa kanila, hindi ko alam kung ngbubulag bulagan lang sila o gumagawa na rin sila ng mga ways to improve the government. For me, matagal ng ngstart yung change na sinabi natin, minsan nagiging bulag at bingi din tayo sa mga sinabi ng gobyerno. haay,, magulo talaga ang sistema sa 'pinas. Ang mga Leaders natin, ang mga simpleng sibilyan, gusto rin ng pagbabago, and even I! Everything happens for a reason, may mga kadahilanan kung bakit nakakaranas tayo ng ganitong klase ng pamumuno ng gobyerno. sana mapaisip tayong lahat sa gusto nating maging pagbabago sa gobyerno naten.
waaa, nakakawindang talaga ang mundo. its a matter of CHANGE ang SATISFACTION within the people.
i hope that time will come, plans will be made, leaders will move and the people will rise for philippines.
and i hope that when we put God in this plans, mangyayari at mangyayari talaga yung nararapat na mangyari.
PEACE!!!

What happened last thursday, November 29 wasn't really unexpected because we all know that Sen. Trillanes really wanted to oust the President.What we didin't know is how and when he's gonna do that. He made a repeatition of what he did 4 years ago. The incident that really made him well-known, is the same as what happened last thursday,really the same because at the end he was still convicted. I really don't know what he was thinking by that time but maybe he was just pissed by what was happening around us. He was just concern about our country, and he just wanted to have a change. By that change means he's gonna take over the position.
For all I know there's no one by this time suited or worthy of the positon they all wanted to have. There's no such person who can really make this country a better one. Maybe there is but I don't know where he/she is right now. That's why until know our country is still in the bottom.
Change is something that will really help us. We all definitely wanted to have a change, a change that would really make a difference and that woukd really help us all. And it should start with ourselves because we cannot make other people and the country better if we cannot make ourselves better. We should first help ourselves to be able to help other and to be able to make a difference.
What will happen to the country really depends on the people and of course on the leader. But we should not all the time depend on him or blame him of what's happening around us. He is someone that we trusted to represent the people, it's not always his fault if there's some wrong doings. We should also ask ourselves, maybe we are the ones who really make mistakes, and the ones who really make this country worst..

I can't comment if what happened last thursday is right or wrong.. Trillanes might be concerned or just has his evil hidden agenda..
Well, I know there's still hope for our country but God will have His right time to reveal everything..
It's just so hard to decide if to let stay our government this way or make a move to change the system..
Ousting again the president is a cycle that looks now so suffocating for it's not as effective as before anymore.. Can't we realize that changing our president does not result to a good thing even before?
But come to think of it, sideways, if we just let the government do their things, we'll never know.. Sooner or later, this country is ours no more.. And peace would be unknown forever.. Creepy.. =(
That's why, as of now, we just have to strengthen our faith to the Lord.. Be as good as we can be.. And make sure that it's the right time to move and fight.. Or else we'll go back to cycle and let this country die slowly..
all i can say is that....
WHAT THE HELL was Sen(?) Trillanes thinking.... doing another stunt in the center of commerce? if u r gonna call the support of the majority of the filipino you should call wer the majority of the Filipino's resides: in the slums and other impoverished areas!
to sum it all up, i think our good senator was barking at the wrong tree or rather at the wrong city...
if our good senator continues his shenanigans and stunts he would be reduced from a senator that was voted by the masses to a jailbird!
Change in the government would probably take more than a decade. As long as we have politicians whose main concerns dealt with their personal desires and not our society’s. I have also asked those questions, you have said, to myself. Some of the people wouldn’t be contented of what we have today because they always seem to see the holes in it.
People may have been tired of revolts. EDSA I is the most historical and most successful democratic movement of people to get rid of the dictatorship of Marcos. After few years, then came in EDSA II which, again, overthrows a leader, Erap, from his office due to his corruption. And then there’s, what other acclaimed as, EDSA III. How many EDSA’s do we need in order to find the one right person to sit as our leader? Will there ever be one?
People have developed different ideologies as time goes by. They mature in the sense that they started to care much in our country to be as good as others. The qualifications of a good leader, for them, proliferates its standard which makes it a bit impossible, for me, to be possible. Unfortunately, people’s idea and belief in people power had been futile due to constant revolt of people which makes other think that there’s nothing new about it. There’s no difference between the revolt bygone from today. Same desire to change, same ideologies and still same government.
It’s ironic though, people kept on voting for the leaders they want to be in a certain position yet they keep ousting them. I guess it’s the people who, partly, should be blame for what’s happening in our government. We, the Filipino citizens, are given, through the 1987 Constitution, the privilege and the power to elect our representatives in the government yet we fail to uphold our rights. Like what my professor told us, “we deserve what we get.”

awts,i thought we'll be leaving our comments on your last blog..
Well, actually.. We do not have television at the house. But I'm not that left behind in the issues.. Upon hearing the news about Senator Trillanes' siege of Manila Peninsula and his so-called "walk-out",I was really shocked and at te same time, disappointed. I must admit that I had admired Senator Trillanes of his bravery (and his looks?) but too much bravery made him stupid (just like what my classmate had just said on our class earlier this morning). And, just as what Professor Soriano told us, "our beloved senator" is not making the right thing, He's not doing his real obligation to the people.
I remember Professor Sanjay Claudio's words,"You cannot change something over night." Maybe, we shoud wait for change to come. Or maybe, just maybe.. We should start it with ourselves. Maybe, we are the right person for the job. Or maybe, again, just maybe.. The answers to these questions are deep within ourselves..
when i heard the news about the siege in manila peninsula i almost neglect it because i thougth its just a play or just a joke. i have said this because i didnt know why and how it start. but as the event settled i remember the futile oakwood mutiny same as what happen in the peninsula. its like history repeats its self.
i had understood that trillanes want the current president to step down and they will form a new government. there would be another military junta where in the military takes over the government.
many said that pres. arroyo is like a "cat", having nine lives, because her reige surpasses many impeachment trials, rallies, mutiny, and juntas. and many people want her to step down.
but i believe that the problem shall not be blame to our president alone for want is happening in our country. many politicians are still cheating and making many problems thats why our country are not progressing.

as i once said to my professor in Rizal: "Filipinos are no good when it comes to history." i stand to this statement because its seems to me that after all the hardships that we have endured in the past, we have never learned anything at all...
we still elect corrupt officials because of what momentary pleasures they could give. just imagine, would you give up the future of our country for just 500-1000php in exchange for you vote? yet we still fall for the same jokes these politicians give...
we are entitled to our opinions, the essence of democracy for me. but i think, what senator trillanes have staged is a big foolish joke. a mockery to the Filipino people, is he elected as senator just to stage mutiny? amf!

Honorable Trillanes did this kind of suicidal (ya, suicidal, coz obviuosly, opposing the powerful gloria with small and limited supporter is a suiciadal). I was one of those people whatch this stand off in makati. Mr. Honorable Trillanes courageously walk out from the Makati RTC and march to Manila pen.( I wonder, where are those what we call "police and military" if they knew that this will happen. Hay Naku!!!) why were Filipinos didn't join this kind of patriotism of Trillanes, anyway? Hmm... is it just because and their believe that this sympatizer were blocked by the authority in different places or is it just because and i believe, that there is no clear reason why they were there. Because He always saying that we need change in our society and we must change this ilegitimate government but at the end of his statement he always urge about his right to serve the people and yet he was jailed and it is unfair for the poeple who voted him( I think personal reason and not for the people).
For me we dn't need another EDSA rev. or coup. to save this country that is becoming rotten because of those people who think that we are a business and not people.
The stand off remind us that this government need a change but not the trillanes style(ang hirap nun noh, hahanap ka pa at magpapabook sa isang 5 Star hotel)
before we change people, I mean those fu.... people we must change our attitude as a filipino( alam mo na yun, unless di ka pinoy).
we are hoping that who ever sit to the golden chair of malacaniang(na ngayon ay kinakapitan ng isang tuko)will be a answer to all the problem that this nation ex periences( sana nga! ipagdadasal ko yan).

actually i am one of those people who watched the manila peninsula seige from the beginning to the end..Other people were right on saying that the Filipinos are immune to that kind of incidents but then on my own opinion i am amazed on the bravery of senator trillanes.he is fighting the corrupt government but then,what they did is not on the right time...walking out at the middle of the hearing is not a good attitude.they showed how immature they are! yes, i do admire sen. trillanes because of his principle but he should think a million times before doing anything. and with regards to the media i idolized the abs-cbn reporters for their dignity in doing their job.but then the government also showed immaturity on what they did to the media people.in fact they should be thankful to them(the media inside the hotel)because they are the reason why sen.trillanes and company decided to surrender. well then,lets just pray to our god almighty for the leaders of our government and for the good future of our country..

Again, another rage sprouted in our country's political situation from the opposition which is just mainly because on how the administration is running the government system, which caught the attention of the mass not just in our country but also in other countries, focusing their attention on the siege that's happening .
The reason? Because these persons who engage and lead themselves on distabilizing the government believes that the administration is not greatly doing their job well when it comes on managing the country. This only goes to show the reality that, some people aren't really happy and satisfied enough on how the government is working its way on enriching the nation to progress, altough they were not merely over fifty.
As the blog entry says, a lot of these things had already happened in the past, but unfortunately, still happens up to now, which only mirrors that Filipinos are really having a tough time learning their lessons on their past experiences. These calls for change were constantly happening, and I don't know whats's their main purpose for doing it, besides the fact that they were struggling to have change on the system of government.
But months after they successfully got the change that they wanted you will be hearing complaints again, this time, from a different side of opposition. Our politics is really confusing and strange.
The things that happen at the Manila Peninsula- I won't buy it, and I won't definitely cling on either of the two parties, because I believe, they both have their own mistakes and mishaps when it comes in doing their jobs as the leaders of our country. Yeah, I know that 'some' of them have a good intention of trying to make our country a better nation, but some only lead people to confusion which is may be the reason why, people ask a lot of questions involving changes in our society specially in our government.
If we really wanted an eternal 'change' that virtually happens, maybe our government officials should reconcile and communicate with each other first, eliminating every hard times and misunderstandings that had been encountered around them. And after that continue on focusing in building our country to successfully gain progress and a positive change by uniting in the goals and objectives that they wanted to make.

For me, we can't blame Trillanes on what he've done...'coz it only implies that democracy is still there. I salute him because "ang lakas ng loob ña, in the sense n manguna sa isang pgaaklas,but then we all know n prang naulit lng ata ung nightmare ng nakaraang 3 taon..aun' ganun prin eh... eto prin ang Philippines,,,nothing has change..ika nga..."History repaeats itself"."

Last wendnesday,in our subject Ancient and Medieval Pol.Theories,we discuss about the seige happened.Well,as I weighted my reactions about that on my mind, I dont know really what our beloved Sen.Antonio Trillanes want to tell to the Filipino people.Some of that question is so mind destruction,as I was experiencing.It really need a constant answer,we just dont know when,where,how,who is the right person at the right time to answer!!!!
BRAVERY!!!!!!he(Trillanes)possess that,with all the things in the world.
When I was in the front of the tv watching that,I was not happy to think that this is truly happening in our country.We,the people will the one who can help each other.Regards to that,if Trillanes group demanded to change the gov.,all the pattern of the administration......how can we do that??????or how can they do that by doing a thing,walkouting at the RTC and go to the manila pen calling the people to withdraw their support to the gov.,and what???????(STUPID THING,A MESS?)For me its just as a sign of IMMATURITY!
All of us want a change,and that would be happen at the right time, and I dont know when.Hope that everything turn out to be just fine,I wish that.People and government need a cooperation.

For the past decades that the people in our country are looking for the right, deserving, honest and almost perfect leader, the search is once again motivated, or shall I say the want and desire are again alive. As far as I know the very rocking news on Manila Pen happened on the last thursday of November. Unfortunately, at that time I was at school, busy surfing the net and doing my assignment, when I we saw Sen. Trillanes (the rebellious senator)on tv and again can do stuffs like that despite of his circumstances and his powerless position right now. I tried to watched and asked what's the story behind all of those commotions, but when I've heard the ending, I dont waste my time to hear the whole story, i've focused on my assignment,anyway why would I listen to the story that i've heard before. The story of the never ending seige back on 2003 and once again happened. It did not really hit me, but I can say that the event can win an award as: "best rocking news of the year".
The movement that had happened was not unusual for us, actually we get used into it, right?! The call for a new leader, the resignation of the President, tons of rally everywhre, impeachment complaint, new system and the very fresh seige on Makati. A thousands of attempt to finish the old government system, the will to the foundation of new rule, and a millions of no comment from the people of the Philippines. Maybe yeah, they also agree that the right leader and the deserving person is not yet born. That no matter who's in the position, still the poverty, scarcity, crimes and a lot of social problems cannot be solved. For me, its better that this government finished its time than we start from scratch. I think grudge and revolutionary action can do nothing about our socio-political problems. I think time can only be the perfect teller on when the change that we wanted be possible. And I think the problem is not just on the government but also with the people. Probably, it should start with us, make a change, let us have peace and unity towards the better future, better republic and towards the better life we are aiming for. But of course, its not that easy, how, when, what can we do to make that change, what can we do to make a difference. Well, I think time is the only answer we could ever have, and the only key to the threshold behind.

What a questions?!! I have the same questions that rushing in my mind but I guess that questions will be answer with another questions..hmmm..
When I watched the news about the walk-out of Sen. Trillanes and the press-conference "daw" at the Manila Peninsula, I felt curious and thinked, " what's the drama now of these people? ". Sen. Trillanes really has the courage to do what he think is right eventhough he know what could be the consequence of his act. I saluted him for his bravery.The another drama that he made, the Manila Peninsula siege was a fiasco unlike the blockbuster Oakwood Mutiny 2003, uhmm, i guess the actors were not suited for their role and the script was not prepared well:) His bravey was not enough to overthrow the incumbent president and I think no one could ever be (grabe ang lakas kasi ng kapit ava!!). All of us want a change but I think we should be matured enough to think that a " drama " was not always the answer. Instead of critisizing the government why not just help to change and develop our political system. People are tired of the drama that they knew that at the end of the day they are the one who will suffered and get affected so is the reason why Sen. Trillanes didn't get the sympathy of the people.
At the end of the day, the Manila Peninsula siege will be added to the page of our history and will just be a manifestations of the kind of leaders and government that we have.
I guess your right sir.We have many question regarding in our government and also our leaders.the said "walk-out" made by our beloved(grrrrrr) senator antonio trillanes was very shocking.Maybe, all of us need or want changes in our government especially, the leaders of our country.Right!Unfortunately the good leaders that will lead our country a beeter plce to live is not yet born(wahahaha)we have to wait for him.,people must do their responsibilities in choosing the right leaders to lead our government and at the same time our government for us to have a peaceful living and avoid those jerk things and events like what senator Antonio Trillanes did!!!!!
I thought it was just an ordinary day but I was terribly wrong . I woke up late because I dont have class on thursday. So I just watched television then suddenly there is this news about the walkout of our Sen. Trillanes and his group. I thought they were just "papansin" so I didn't spend so much time watching them. But I switched the TV to the other channel, they coveraged the same news then I realized it is seriuos. I felt that something exciting will happen next. Will it be the end of the Arroyo Administration? What will be the reaction of the people? Another "people power"? Or Sen. Trillanes rebellion will be the same as the Oakwood Mutiny?What will be the action of our government?
I watched news as if it is an action movie where the actors were Sen. trillanes and her supporters, the government, media and of course the Filipino. As usual Sen. Trillanes wanted change, of course all of us asking for change. Again he commit the same mistake and the jail is waiting for him. The Filipino he is calling for, is already "deadma" because they were "umay na". And they just went on to their daily routine hoping that their life will be different someday. I was so proud to our mediamen who did their job well. I was very disappointed on how the police treated them. And to our government, the power is still on your hands.
Change is the only permanent in this world. So before changing the country you must change yourself first.

To tell you honestly, the Philppine government system is like a room of cluttered papers. Every paper contains a very important information to help solve the questions and problems of the nation, but as it is cluttered all over the room, it's a madness to arrange them all according to the solution they can give (and my own solution is, THROW them all away and BURN them! bwahahahaha- but on the second thought if that cluttered room is really our own government and I can really THROW and BURN them all, what would be Philippines now??).
Anyway the seige happened last thursday, is not a big bang issue anymore for most of the filipino because for certain it will happen again in the future, it happened before in Aquino's regime and it happened again, but now in Arroyo's administration (what's new?).
I'm not saying that filipnos are now being naive to the situation but it's like reading a history book all over again only revised this time. Every administration has an anti, and many person nowadays are taking people power excessively, not knowing OR not really cares for the greater good of all. What I'm trying to convey is there is a bunch of ways to express their sides, there's no need of violence, if we could just not be so selfish and irresponsible taking our actions.
About:
"Who would be the right person for the job?Is there such a person now?"
-There would be, I dont know.
Anyone who has the ability to be in the position, is capable for the job, but that anyone is also capable to commit a crime, we just need to be more careful about them. Just thinking of the right person is like looking for a pure one, but no one is so pure, he/she is just a human, he/she is not sinless one.
"What must that person possess to take on the challenge of government?"
-As I've said that "right person" is just a human capable of anything he/she CAN thought of. We can't just ask for more, from a person who just have limited capacity taking a big responsibility.In my opinion? that person dont need to possess anything but just to be sincere on the job and knows how to value even the smallest thing.
"When would be the right time for real change in government and the way we conduct Philippine politics?"
-When? No one really knows, but the real change will only happen, when every Filipino would not think much of theirselves but think much of the needy.

Well, an appropriate topic for all of us; what I mean is that this is an interesting topic to discuss about.
Regarding the stand-off, I was just awakened that thursday to watch it live, bcoz my sister admire sen. trillanes so much.
I was just disappointed on how sen. trillanes threat those who voted for him as a senator; that those 11 million people will support him on his call to distabilize the government- that those 11 million have the same idea as him that now is the time for change and that they will be in makati in a blink to support him.
Wow... I'm correct that this is the topic to be posted on this blog.

As for me, I admire Sen. Trillanes with his bravery and unshaken principle that he had shown last November 29. But, I think, if only he hadn’t walked out during his hearing, and if only he and his company critically think about their strategy on how to aim for a change, if only they had conducted a more peaceful stuff rather than siege, there’s a greater possibility that they would have come to succeed. But, it’s just that if only, but they hadn’t, that’s why they failed. Knowing that Sen. Trillanes is a highly-principled and knowledgeable man, I know that he has greater thoughts inside his mind, but unfortunately, he was not able to use it because he was persuaded by his own enraging emotions, which resulted to failure. Indeed, I do agree with Sen. Trillanes’ that there must be a change in government, but, he should have not done it that way, even during that time.

TO satart it of, change is a gradual and long term process it is when a person want something new about his/her self for whatever reason whether good or bad or just he learn something new due to his mistakes.
the siege happen last nov.29 led by sen.trillanes & brigadier gen.danilo lim is like a same old song that people just get used to it, it's good to know that there is still people who are concerned with our society but maybe it is better, if they just do their jods better and let their doings spoke their own, in the way people might feel thet their must be change that has to be done.
Let time tell when it is time! you cannot insist something if it is not his time.As what i have said earlier, change is a long term process and it will happen when that person is ready to accept his faults, Likewise in our goverment.
Why dont we start the change in ourselves,Little by little we will see in some point in time the society thet we are longing to achieve is only in our hands.

Good Day Sir.. Once again, a nice one! When i read your blog, all of the attempts to oust Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in her position lingered in my mind. All of them, definitely were unsucessfull. I think all of them thinks that once they've started a move, hopefully citizens will be joining them so that the power of the people again would emerge. But that did not happen, they were lack of support from the big sectors of community. A hundred percent they will not win the fight.
About the media coverage, well it does'nt matter as well as the people would be aware of what's happening in our country. On the action of PNP about the situation, i think that's over reacting. Sen. Trillianes and about 30 past Oakwood mutineers is not much a national threat to send so many soldiers and tanks. And another thing, they almost destroyed the first floor of Manila Peninsula Hotel. Like what you have said, same scenario happened. The Filipinos were "Deadma" and continued to do their jobs or chores. Like us, even if we join them and for instance we have sucessfully kicked-out GMA to her place, I think Philippines will still be the same because Pres. GMA is not the only who uses her power for her own good, I think there are so many of them. What can we say, maybe they will be the next President huh..
The faith of our country is in our hands people, use our hands wisely. I cannot tell who is the right person for the job but he's/she's definitely coming no matter what. About the right time, everytime is the right time for real change in the government, its just all we need is the right person. About the violent revolution, I think viloence was never the best way the rearrange this government. There must be a way and the right person that I told earlier knows that. These are the answers for the questions you had thought of.
Once again, Good day sir. Enjoy your meal!

hmm.. mali kasi si trillanes kaya walang sumasama sa kanya... meron mga tao talaga na kaya ng mag lead, kaso lang masydo silang ginugulo ng mga tao sa paligid kaya wala din siyang magawang maganda sa kanyang pamumuno...
As what happened in the standout in Manila Peninsula, many reactions from the masses and the government had been heard. This rebellion may have points for us to see the reality for them, but this viewpoint s cause our minds to formulate many questions about “what’s happening to our country already??”. For someone who’s calling for the support of the public for that moment is very too short for people to convince others to join them. Maybe he is one of the people here in this country that has the guts and the determination to speak for itself to fight for what we all want, “the real amendment”. That urgent move by Trillianes however made it to be unsuccessful; still it does open the minds of latent wits of so many people. For me, being an elected senator, is what Trillianes should be. But as I can see, he is stll treated as someone that is not been voted by millions of people to serve our country. Majority chooses him to one of the government officials but his side is never been heard. Maybe at this moment, answers are so impossible to conclude but I believe that someone is already born to speak for everyone but the courage is not yet enough.. But if there would be someone who’s on the right place to verbalize and make actions for our country is the also the people of this country. And the time should never be tomorrow but now. These questions should never be just questions or remain to be unanswered questions but instead we the citizens of this country should “make way out” out of these problems so that queries in our minds will be answered.

about the unplanned to take over the government as sen. trillanes said but it must be planned...
Senator trillanes must have done things in a legal way because it will not change the situation it will make things more miserable because of the incidents that make the philippines more dangerous place... in the pilipinos it was like nothin... its like nothing happened but in the other country...
Maybe the senator and the other people that joined him in overtaking the government...have good intentions toward our government because of the ugly image of it...
and he's already a senator he must do it in a legal way..

hi sir..
That was a nice blog.I think it'll be the real question:Who will be the right one? Actually, I was arguing with such people who said that " kung si ganito pa ang presidente, baka sakaling umunlad tayo."(i will not mention the one he's talking about). Of course all of us had their bets, but for me, it must be the one who bears the fear in God. But still, we don't know yet who will be the one. I'm not pertaining to those religious group leaders, as some of them use their powers to be successful, to be the one that they are dreaming of.
As what Mr. Trillanes does, I am not against him, at the same time, i am not in favor of him. Others are right, maybe it's not the right time, although majority of the Filipinos are against our government.
Thank you sir!!

Para sa akin po,merong positive and negative side yung ginawa ni Trillanes.. siguro nga po masasabi nyang ang ginawa nya ay para sa mas ikabubuti ng mga Pilipino pero sa kabila naman nito ay isang napakalaking gulo..it's not that easy.. hindi naman mababago ang gobyerno ng Pilipinas sa isang iglap lang.. Pero para sa akin po sa isang banda naman, sa ginawa nyang un ay parang naimulat din nya ang mga tao sa totoong kalagayan ng ating bansa..Dapat na talagang baguhin, in a way na hindi dahasan.. (pero ano pa nga bang ibang paraan?? bukod sa dahasan??)
para po sa akin, pagkakaisa lang ang kailangan natin.. hindi lang mga pulitiko ang bumubuo sa gobyerno kundi tayo ding mga tao.. kung hindi nagkakaisa ang mga politicians sa likod ng gobyerno natin, worst lalo kung pati tayong mga tao ay hindi din nagkakaisa..nasa ating mga kamay ang pagbabago, kung kikilos lang tayo..sabi nga po "pag gusto maraming paraan"..
if ever naman na mapapalitan ang namumuno sa ating bansa, hindi natin pwedeng sabihin na "yung tamang tao ang karapat-dapat na mamuno".. ang lahat ay posibleng maging isang mabuting pinuno kung may pagmamahal siya sa kanyang bayan at kung may malasakit sya sa mga taong nasasakupan niya.. at syempre tayo bilang mga mamamayan ng bansang ito ay dapat rin namang maging aware sa nangyayari sa ating bansa..
kelan nga ba ang tamang panahon para sa pagbabago?? hindi po natin masasabi kung kelan ang tamang oras.. pero hindi rin naman pwedeng hintayin na lang natin na mangyari ulit ang mga nangyari na noon.. na kailangan pang may dumanak sa dugo para lang maipahatid na ngaun na ang tamang panahon para magbago.. siguro po magagawa naman natin ang pagbabago sa peaceful na paraan.. pero hindi ko po alam kung pano..

ciao!!!
i strongly agree to trillanes to make changes but the way he did it is inappropriate. he should do it in a more formal way. what he did is just like repeating what he did in oakwood. i pity him because of his failure. failing to call for change for the second time is a shame.
your questions:
-i think there is a right person for the job, i think someone whose selfless and god-fearing. but unfortunately the right one is still anonymous. he is just right there roaming around. I think the right time is the present time because if we wait for the right time we might see ourselves waiting in vain. I think we should start to make our moves right now or else it will get worse. “Improvement begins with I”—i really believe this one. If we really want to have change we should start it with ourselves. We should think critically every election. Think not only ourselves but also others too. And we must always show our concern for our nation. i think what we need is to have unity. Opposition and administration should unite first to have change. since they are one of the models in the society they should unite first before the pros and antis unite. a violent revolution is not needed to have a change. it will be just like other revolution, at first very effective but after more years it will be forgotten.

when I came home last November 29, the news are covering what is happening in Manila Peninsula. Curious of the situation I began asking my mom about the news and upon hearing about the commotion lead by Sen. Trillianes ( replay ba ito?) my first reaction was "na naman? wala ba silang magawa". Again another movement, another call to Pres.Arroyo to step down of the presidency and again (as i expected)another unsuccesful one.
Even though, the curfew and the whole commotion doesn't really affected the place where I am residing (malamang... medyo malayo ang Makati sa Taytay)I felt like I needed to know more about the news, maybe because I remember only little about the Oakwood Seige and because i think it is my responsibility as a Filipino to know such events in our country.
Personally, I didn't really like Pres. GMA as our leader (maybe because I am not well informed of the things she have done to improve the standard of living in our country and specially just because I hated the way she smiles in TV.)but inspite this, I don't think forcing her to step down of the Presidency is a good idea.
It is true that many Filipino lost their trust to the president since issues such as the Hello Garci tape exposure happened, but looking at the politicians these days I don't know if there is someoneout there better for the position. Whether GMA stepdown or not I don't think there will be much change in the goverment w/o the help of the citizens themselves.
I dont think another revolution such as Edsa I is necessary to make an improvement in our Politics, I've heard someone once said "Enough effort can make a big difference" and I believe if everyone of us is determined to make enough effort to improve our goverment (in a peaceful way, I hope) this country will turn out better.
A small step at a time can make a big difference specially if the citizens are united. A GOD driven country can be best in my opinion...If only everyone will pay attention to their surrounding and help themselves, I think everything will be a step closer to improvement...
I hope, I pray.

I believe that not all Filipinos' sentiments are slumbering . In fact, a lot of rallies and advocacies are happening and the poor ones are asking for help and for reestablishment of new governance. Whatever rallies are those, the thing is that our nation is in need of a right person who will stand for this. I think there's so many but thier just having insufficiencies of courageness.
For me the seiging of Sen. Trillianes and company, I'm absolutely right that they were wrong but they had a point. I fhe only done it gradually, maybe it did work!
There's so many people who had attempted to deestabilize the constitued republic of the Philippines but not all won.
The word CHANGE is really what we need and also DISCIPLINE. I agree that change will change our way of life. I think change will only start if we do it on ourself. Plus, choosing the right candidate on voting is a must.

It's true that our present government needs a change, what's wrong with Trillanes is that his reason for his rebellious act was too personal, maybe that's one of the main reasons why the people didn't mind his protest at all.
Our government needs a leader to revive the life not only of our government but also for the sake of our country as well, not a leader to lead a mutiny just to make things worse and adding tension to the people making the situation more complicated.

i also dwell to those questions in my mind, but until now it is left unanswered.. but then, i think this would be the right time to make up my mind,,
regarding to when and where that change must start, it it should be today and it must be w/in ourselves..
if only we would all be critical to whom or what to believe, be observant, choose are actions well and be concerned.. i strongly believe this nation would be stronger and become "matured"..
we should engage ourselves to the people who have no knowledge or wrong informtion about the politics here in the philippines,, if all of us are well informed maybe someday it will come that were going to face brighter and secured future...
for what happened in manila pen, i admire the bravery and good looking sen. triallianes and highly decline their stupidity..
my idol...
Senator Antonio Trillanes was a member of Philippine Military Academy Class 1995. I really admire this great man because being a PMAyer himself comes along great prestige ang glamor to his name. Back 2003, everyone was stunned when he, together with the friend and mistah Captain Gambala and the rest of the young officer's of the AFP when they occupied the Oakwood( which later turned its name to Ascott) in Makati. I was so impressed by the courage and the chivalry displayed by these soldiers. That time I really promissed on myself that I will pursue my dream of being a PMa cadet to follow the footsteps of this great people who through sheer love of country, wills to endanger their own lives to serve.Antonio Trillanes - my idol, my hero.....
4 long years after, we find then Lieutenant senior grade being a Senator. How this happened? it's history. It is quite amazing that this military man, from his detention cell in the Headquarters Philippine Marine Corps managed to deliver sufficient votes to earn a seat in the Senate. amazing. With his looks, appeal, and sheer courage to criticize this government proved enough to be joining the ranks of Villar in the Senate.
But people are outraged by the behavior he has shown last Nov.29. My idol who is now an elected public official dismays me that being now a Senator, uses extr-constitutional measures to ventilate his grievances with this government. This totally changes the picture. Am I losing my fanaticism with this man? Am I still adoring his courage?
Am I still wanting to be like him?
Maybe he is crowded by people who has intentions to use him- Political lameducks who always paint a picture of instability with this government, maybe are people who is behind it. People who does not want to make this country to take-off.
My idol has gone a long way. This former cadet candidate of like me right now is a man of courage and bravery as what is thought to them in the great Philippine Military Academy, gives me things to think about right now.
roght now, I am on the process of my application as a cadet in the PMA. I hope I could make it on April 01 .
I hope that I will be into the Philippine Military Academy few months soon.....
I would still be admiring the bravery and the love of country "my idol" has shown.
And like him, If ever that I will be a cadet of PMA class 2012, I would not hesitate to do what "my idol" did. But I will make it sure that everything will fall into places and I will not allow it to be politically-colored.
But still... he is my idol.

" Walking out is a sign of immaturity."
November 29, 2007. I'm savoring the 2nd day of the 3 day no classes, watching the television when suddenly a news report flashed into the TV screen. curious on what the news is all about, I stay tuned.
Trillanesism (as what a professor tagged his rebellious ideas) is such a hundred percent stupidity.
the senator acted the way he did way back the days of the Oakwood Mutiny, but this time, he started it when he walked out of a trial court then march at the JP rizal avenue, called for the support of the people and headed them towards manila pen.
If this senator really wants a change, better start it with himself. as a senator he should be a good example to his constituents.
instead of adding problem to the country, why not just do his duty making laws that will help improve the lives of the Filipino People.

everyone of us really knows that the government today is lack with good governance,and one who prove this was sen. trillanes but his actions was in a wrong timing at all because he just what he thought on that time so that he goes unprepared in manila peninsula and what,he did anything he just did a reason to make him go to jail.I think it is better if he first plan it before he mde that siege.

Like the other people last Thursday, during the so called “Manila Peninsula Mutiny”, I am one of those who stayed in front of the television to witness the event. At first, I am surprised at the courage Senator Trillanes showed during that day. I can say that the life of every individual here in the Philippines, and also the rest of the world, has stopped and has not evolved for a long span of time. As the mutiny goes on and after the deadline imposed by the police, the events become exciting. The capture and arrest of certain individuals particularly of the media personnels raise the feeling of excitement and at the same time worry. Unfortunately, fate does not go in side with Trillanes at the end of the day. He failed to do the things that he wants—and that is, to oust President Arroyo. I admired the courage of Senator Trillanes. But I felt that he just ruined his life. Ruined his life in the sense that he will be surrounded by more security now. He might not be able to go to Congress and legislate laws.
With regards to the questions, I think Trillanes was not able to get the full support of the people because maybe they also think of the same questions raise in the article. And I can say that I am one of those. If ever President Arroyo will be ousted, who will be there to succeed her? I believe that this is not the right time to urge such rebellion. Aside from that I do think that rebellion is not the answer to all the problems our country is facing nowadays. Rebellion is not the end to achieve the change. Neither can it also be considered as the means. I believe that through the right process, our country particularly our government will change. Let's not try to be so pessimistic about the government. Let us see that somehow the government is actually doing its best to improve the situation of our country. Let us somehow try to be optimistic regarding the matter.

ala naman akong comment. tulog kasi ako nung nangyari yan.
as what had happened on the manila pen siege, history repeated itself once more. it was just a tragic episode of the very best soap opera i have ever seen. but does history really repeats itself or is it the people who tries to repeat the very same mistakes we have commited. what is that mistake i'm talking about. that is to act selfishly. to not prepare in every battle we face. to wait for the right time. this way we can face every obstacles surely to win on it.
P.S. i guess we should rather take bonifacio rather than rizal as our hero unless we work on that attitudes!

gud-pm sir... :) (advance merry christmas.. heheh.. :) )
I personally believe that this present administration is already rotten, because of the many controversies that is being thrown to it. The desires of Sen. Trillanes, Gen. Lim, and the rest of the Magdalo soldiers, with some known anti-GMA civilians (and the 99.99% of the Filipinos), of changing this administration, is a good thing to look upon to.
However, the way they wanted change to emerge, is I think totally stupidity and insanity. If they really wanted change, I think, they will need to have a GOOD plan at least; or stand by what they keep on saying earlier, not just surrender easily (they’re not like men!). For me, it was just like they’re not sincere at all, and that they only intend to do an outstanding drama (well, it’s a top-rating, one-day show anyways…). Because if they are that determined, they will do anything and everything, even though it requires their own lives (maybe in that way, people will move… just maybe…).
Yes, this government is continuously hurting, and needs to be healed. People already knew how worst this government is. But people are too tired to mind again a business they know will not save them from hunger and poverty. People will just prefer to watch, speculate a little, and then go on again with their lives.
Questions will forever remain questions if people will not learn.
The Filipinos are once again put into shame by this rebellious groups’ deceiving attitude they proudly called bravery.

Hi sir..
hmmm,.. first of all, a curfew was being declared.. (what??!) i was about to go to Mcdonald's that evening because i was starving to death because i was sleeping all day and had enough watching the news and what is happening that day in Makati and to only see a 24hr. fastfood resto closed in no time.. and damn it all 7-11 store also were closed.. well i think of what our dear beloved and very brave senator trillanes did was sick and non-sense.. cause really, people doesn't really care at all for what he and his companions have done that day,.. what was really amazing is that they walked-out from their trial and once again called for the people to unite and help them to make a change for the country. well, i guess we all want some "changes..." but you are right sir, when will we can ever have a change of system in this old crafty govern ment we have right now. doing what senator trillanes and the other is not the answer, for the mere fact that many attempts were stopped and failed. (including the Oakwood mutiny which senator trillanes led back when he was still a army liutenant) we could have that change sooner or later but for now we should all do our part building our nation as one!

wel..
trillanes is really insane!!
he only want is to have higher position,i think he dont just do that for any reasons, but to have more power in our government.
for what had taken place, the seige did not had its awaited "back-up" which was supposed to be the other social/political organizations most primarily concern about the issues that the administration is currently undergoing. what if those troops do appeared in support to those who are helding the mla pen? what could had happened? well i think, this nation got wiser, or should i say colder? was the absence of "nationalistic" reactions from the side of the filipinos means that they are thinking of the succeeding cause of the seige which was apparently a "care taker government" or it means that the people had lose hope for this country that there could be no way that this system will be change for good?
Filipinos had witnessed the failure attempts to change the Philippine Government. All have hopes that one day Philippines will have a better government. The right to be one of the politicians should have the objective to improve the status of our country, not only to have the power and money. If everyone of us have the same thoughts, there would be no sufferings, there would be a perfect unity!!!!! but it's impossible!!!! If there is one thing we can do... Let change begin in ourselves so we can together change not only the government in our country but also the whole world!!!!

I think that our president really learn so much from the past... Especially during the time of Marcos.. as we can see gloria ordered an immediate action about the conflict and give a very short time for the group of Trillanes to peacefully surrender to the military officers... if our president gives a 24 four hour ulitimatum for that certain group to surrender maybe there will be a great turn of events... according to the infomation that I heard from my dad(He is a policeman)there are so many supporters strating to assemble their group near Camelot Quezon City.. I also expected that there were also some group in certain areas in NCR that are trying also to assemble and will start to march as soon as possible to Makati City to support the Magdalo soldiers... So imagine guys what will happen if this certain group will unite in Makati city with the magdalo soldiers... It will badly affect our economy..

hi sir!!!
i was shocked that night because i didn't realy expect that the second attempt of the magdalo group is realy trying to again distabilize the government and again it is full of stupidity...(sorry for the word)
maybe Sen. Trillanes realy care about the filipino people but the question is "did he giv any better alternative to the people to support his deeds or its just because of his blasphemies?", "and why makati?why did he choose the manila peninsula?"
and the fact that he just wasted the votes of the people who believed in him...
but still i realy realy realy hope that one day he will be enlightened so that there will be no more attempts of such stupidity and blasphemy...
the filipinoes are not blind, if the people think that he is doing the right thing maybe they supported him in his seige but the mere fact that the country didn't respond to what he did...
he should just think of doing the right thing...
haiz!!!!!!
when would those questions be answered and who would be the answer to those questions?! maybe he's not yet born!!tsk tsk tsk
evryone wants a change especially on our government!and i think what happen last thursday(the mutiny of our honorable?! and beloved senator trillanes in manila peninsula)is not the way to solve our problem regarding our government.we all know that a problem cannot be solved with another problem! let's just hope that time will come, people like them will realize their mistakes and instead of doing such a mess, they'll help to improve our government.
all i can say is,,,Sen. Trillanes really wanted a change from the administration. But there is a right time and place for everything. He must learn how to wait for that time.Everything would be fine in time.

When I've seen the news bout the manila pen siege, I really said to myself that it would be something like the oakwood mutiny,.nothing but a failure..And my guess was definitely right. I believe what Sen. Trillanes and the others did was something untimely, because they were not even prepared that time..Parang ung buong pangyayari, nagdulot ng kahihiyan sa side nila, lalo na ni sen trillanes... Yes, we all craving for such changes but ther's a lot of things to be cosider before doing such actions. Sana din pinanindigan nlng ni sen, trillanes ang kanyang nacmulan...

until now i do not know what wud be my stand about that issue.. but theres only one thing i want-- CHANGE. We do have same questions on our mind... questions that seems so difficult to answer.. You see? how many years had passed but still we cant have the change we want? should we blame the present administration on how they rule the government? or should we blame the people who voted and trusted them to rule the government...?
the attemt done by senator trillanes is indeed a act of bravery.. and i admire him for that.. but maybe he should have planned it well db? para nman nkapaghanda ung mga supporters nya..
can i consider that scene as another drama of the philippine politics? come to think of it.. senator trillanes is a gud looking senator.. hmm.. he should have tried making an action film instead of running for the position...=)
I believe that there is a need for a change in our Philippine Government. For so many years now the problem in our government hasn't been solved. Its like cancer that need to be treated. If we can't find a solution now, when will it happen? next year? next generation? Politicians really don't care what will happen to us. The lust for power and money are always what they want.
If there is really a person who will be the key for the real change in our government, I hope that he won't be tempted to be a corrupt official and think first for the better of our country. I prefer to have a peaceful movement, violent revolution is not only the way for a change. So I disagree for the attempt of Trillanes to establish a new rule.
Everything is possible in the world right now. I was hoping that miracle will happen, and the real change in the Philippine Government will occur.

it is when things begin to look bad...
senator antonio trillanes III is one of the most celebrated figure in philippine politics nowadays. aside from being the youngest senator our current government has, he is also blessed with damn good looks. tee hee!
aside for his looks, i actually admire the bravery. not all people were blessed with such that i am actually awed when i heard the news. but, on the light (shall i say darkness?) of last thursday's event, trillanes' bravery appealed to me as a one, big, stupid act.
one reason is that there is a right time and right way to make things fall in a place where you rightfully sees it. you see, rebellion is not a solution to the problem of the filipinos. rebellion would not lessen the churning of a hungry stomach, rebellion would not put roofs on homeless peoples' heads, nor would it make our country a better place. problems will never be corrected by another problem. causing havoc and mayhem never solved anything. aside from making things worse, it only makes people see politics in a dimmer light.
our young senator could have use his bravey to something more productive. someone so bold and a man who sticks by his principles can help make a change for his country. if only he had saved it for the right time, he may mark the philippines' history...
well sir, all i can say is that the filipino people is already immune to that kind of incidence because there are lots of same incidents that are already happened inour country. i also have the same question in mind and our country really needs change because our government is really unorganized.. meaning,the leaders themselves dont know how to handle the country well.. most of the leaders were corrupt and it really needs change and that change is depending on our hands because if we will choose the right candidate to vote, we will have a good future..
I don't know what to say about what happened last Nov.29.And tungkol naman sa nais na pagbabago e hindi natin alam kung saan at paano sisimulan sapagkat sa bawat pagtatangka na baguhin ang gobyerno sa anumang paraang maisip nila ay ganun at ganun ang nangyayari.paulit ulit na nga lang. Kailangan natin ng responsableng pinuno na mamumuno sa ating bansa ngunit SINO nga ba 'yon. All I can say is suportahan natin kung sino man ang kasalukuyang nasa katangkulan sapagkat kailangan ng pakikiisa ng bawat mamamayan para sa ninanais natin na kahit konting pagbabago. Minsan kasi negative side lang ang ating nakikita sa kanila. Kung sa mga panahon ng kanyang panunungkulan ay hindi natin nagustuhan "yong way ng kanyang pamamalakad e saka na lang natin siya palitan,hindi na naman siguro ng rebolusyon. Until now we don't know how to answer all of the questions you have stated.

I usually don’t give my opinion to a thing(at any topic) which I thought I don’t have enough information(facts) to convinced me. And also, for me, I think there are those things that only time could tell if it has any good or bad effects to the status quo.
I can say that the questions raised at the last part of the essay re the things rooted down from the author’s consciousness in Politics, right from his past lessons and others experience. Once again ignited by a move made by our ever beloved Senator Trillanes(which I personally didn’t vote in the last election).
Then I remember this professor of ours saying that he didn’t write any name in the ballot during election, and if he does, he just writes his. . I dunno if it’s meant to be joke but as I see it, one who is afraid of starting a fight is a coward. He chooses to fake his regrets in order not to experience the frustration that led his fellow countrymen to hang their very political right to vote. Frustrations that made us asked ourselves. These same questions that always our society.
Hopingly, we learned from our history and I think we are. So instead of just talking and plain asking questions we all want to seek for answers.
Make a difference.

Thursday last week was a memorable day because of the attempt of destabilization. But for me,it's not an issue anymore. It already happened unsuccesfully before. The issue is the exaggerated action of the government. They'd sent too many soldiers with too many dangerous weapons against less than 50 people. Even the media men's rights were violated and they were treated like criminals. Well, I think, those questions will remain unanswered if we'll all just wait for change to come and happen.

I had watched what Sen. Trillanes and company did last November 29,2007. At first , Ifelt excited but disappointed because of the ending. Disappointed not because I wanted them to bacome succesful in what they're doing instead it's because of the effort they have wasted.
We don't really have to change the government, it's the traitsof the leaders we should change or the leaders themselves. According to Saint Gregory "You are the parent of yourself", so we can't make them change if they don't want it!right? Maybe all we have to do is to choose the right leaders.

_the aftermath_
After the attempt made by Lt. Trillanes, nothing happens. It's just again our everyday routine. That attepmt is just nonsense because no one respond with what Trillanes and company did except the overacting 1500 military troops.
What Trillanes did is like a blockbuster movie, when the movie is on, everybody watches. But after the showing, everybody leaves, just like nothing happened.
I can say that Trillanes was not the right person to be used by our Lord Jesus Cvhrist for this task(maybe the person who will lead people towards change is not yet born or not prepare for the responsibility to be encountered) and I'm sure He/She is braver than Trillanes.
Revolution is not the answer towards a change. But I'm not saying that pen is teh answer. A sort of processes should be done before a new government arise or born.
I think we're too far from the right time for real change in our government but if teh time comes we/they achieved it, it's a milestone for everyone.
(I'm hoping that not an EDSA 4 or 5 will be the way towards this)

When my sister turned on the television and saw the important event showed in the t.v. she called me and said, "beng, Trillanes is doing a standoff!" I hurriedly walked out from my room and saw Trillanes declaring about the incapability of government to do thier responsibility because of corruption and some certain issues that our socio-political is facing. As i watched him w/ Lim and other Magdalos taking the path to Manila Penn I only say " it won't work out. Trust me sis". And my wild guess turned into reality. At the end of the day, they just surrendered.
I'm thinking about this thing... i mean we can't really say that Trillanes are really true with his motives. i think what he did was just for political projection. How? Let's put it this way.. Trillanes was known because of 2003 Mutiny, because 45% of filipinos are against now in Arroyo's Adminstration, Trillanes and his magdalo got a very much sympathy from Filipino People. So What did he got after filing a candidacy in COMELEC for 2007 election? More than 11 million votes that made him to be a senator. And now, he did it again, although it didn't worked out well because he didn't get a full support from civil society, still, mass of filipino people are still on their side. I bet, he will do it (the siege) all over again until 2010 (next election to be held). And who knows, he will file again for candidacy (perharps president?) and will win again. And if ever his political motives are sincere he can take the (better) change after he win the 2010 election.
first of all i don't no what happen in our country. maraming gustong mamuno sa ating bansa. isa na dito ang mga sundalong nagrebelde nung nakaraan lmang at nung 2003 ay gustong pababin ang pangulo ng mga rebeldeng sundalo nangulo sa ating bansa at sinubukan nilang pababain ang pangulo sa pamamagitan ng pagrebelde o pagtatag ng kudita sa pamamgitan ng pagpasok sa mga hotel upang na kung saan nila sinabi ang kanilang gustong mangyari. after the news about the kudeta i realized that the military group ay gustong sakupi or mamuno sa ating bansa and this is not ok. because we have a tradition. if u want to be a president kailangan mong dumaan sa halalan at kung ikaw ay mananalo pwede mo ng gawin ang gusto mong gawin sa pilipinas at un ay ang makakabuti sa buong bansa. hindi pwede ung bigla k nlang papasok sa hotel at biglang pabababain ang presidente. pero kung iisipin tama ang grupo nila trillanes. pero mali ang kanilang paraan. un lang. I HOPE NA MAGBABAGO NA ANG PILIPINAS KAPAG NAPALITAN NA ANG MGA NAMUMUNO SA GOBYERNO.
Once again,a fresh and opportune topic...at first when i heard the news, i laughted because i thought it's just a drama, and yes it is, a drama with nothing but a useless story...i did'nt admire Trillanes for having the courage to do such thing as that, yet i understand him because we really need a change in the government but his plan is not in time.....people always want to have another leader to govern and then impeach later?it always happen but there is no changes...I believe on the president's power to lead and i know that she will stay until the end of her term...ah basta magtulungan nalang, wala din namang naitutulong na maganda, manahimik na lang!!! hehe....

Lt. Antonio Trillianes and Brigadier General Danilo Lim with the Magdalo soldiers walked out of Makati court during their last hearing. Flashed as "Tensyon sa Makati they walked for three kilometers along Makati till they enetered a five star hotel, the Makati Peninsula.
Having been refused by the Arroyo administration to hold office in the Senate could have triggered this attempt trample the present government and establish a new rule. Answering media interviews, he reminded Filipinos of the corruption and other human right violations of Mrs. Arroyo and the military loyal to Mrs. Arroyo.
Gen. Lim read the message of which was head by the media at the hotel w/c was also televised. Lt. Trillianes also assured the Filipinos of their strength to fight. He asked for the who dream of change to join them or continue to suffer this administration.
Tanks and soldiers were visible. No groups joined the invitation to join sympathize the group. Only media accompanied them and a few religious and senior professionals were with them.
Naturally the hotel was almost destroyed when a tank had to enter its front lobby. Tear gas sprayed made them surrender and were finally captured.
its really a pity nobody really won especially Filipinos who have no guts to be handcuffed, shut or be jailed.

Before i answer all those questions, i want to give first my personal opinion on that matter. For me, what happened last November 29, 2007 was a personal interest of Sen. Trillanes because he cannot do freely his right as a senator that he demands. I think he expect more support from the other organizations and to give him sympathy for what he is fighting for. But again, he's a failure.
There are many who are qualified for the job as a President of the country, but right now on the situation of our government it's impossible to fulfill the job as a president because of the "Lugmok" situation of our country. Now is the right time for a change. It would be a better start in oneself. But, like other sociologist said, that "we have to become selfish for us to survive."
If necessary, we will do it (People Power) again and again..

all i can say is youlook more handsome in personal bola pa ko nohh..
all i can say to that prtcular scenario ..alam na natin na talagang npkrami katiwalian sa gobyerno at kahi sino pa ang herodes ang umupo jan ay hndi na mgbabago pa ang gobyerno ntin khit sguro c Rizal pa ang umupo dahil hndi lang ang namumuno dapat sisihin kung hndi laht na tao nakapalibot jan ..
ang gnwa ni Sen Trillanes mgnda dhil gsto nya ipahatid sa lhat ng mamamayan ng Pilipinas na kung gaano katlamak ang garft and corruption sting bansa kya lang hndi niya kya mgisa ang lban na ito kailngan niya ng mlking suporta sa laht ng mamamayan at sundalo para mkamit ang knyang adhikain na mtulungan ang mga taong naaapi at ung snasabi nya na pgbabago na gusto nya parating sa laht kya lang ang GMA ay hndi pwede bmba sa pwesto kung iilan lang ang tao ang gsto siya pbgsakin kelngan ito na mlwakang plano pra tlga maisgawa ang kanyang mga adhikain..sguro sbi nya na "one is not enough two is not much and i know if sen. Trillanes give a chnace he will try it all over again ..oakwood mutiny,manila pen siege,duisit revolt,shangrila mutiny and so on and so fort ..he has a very good intention but as ordanary people he must plan it very well so that it will succed ..
and the other side of issue msyado na yata nyang pinepersonalang ginang arroyo dahil sya na lang lge ang knyang pinasasailingan dapt ang gwin nya ay ung mga taong nkpligid muna ang knyang trahin ang mga ugat muna bgo ang puno..kya kung uulit pa siya pgplnuhan nya ng maige pra hindi sya mgiging katawa tawa na parang sira na wlang mgawa kung hndi sirain ang mga 5star hotel sa makati..pabgsakin ang ekonomiya at mgpalagay ulit ni curfew..
Ang isang Juan De la Cruz na may malasakit at pagmamahal sa bayan ay yung mga taong laging nagtatanong, kamusta na nga ba ito?, yung aware sa mga nangyayari sa paligid maging sa lipunang kanyang ginagalawan. gaya ng propesor na nagugulumihanan...
For most people, political matters are subject of ignorance. For them it's just only a waste of time.Tama bang magbulagbulagan at magtaingang-kawali na lamang tayo sa lahat ng oras? Siguro namn di mu hahayaang matulad tayo sa isang HIPONg lungo na nagpapadala na lamang sa agos ng tubig at walang pakiaalam kung saan man sya mapapadpad. Bakit di natin isipin yung mga consequences, hindi yung pinagwawalang-bahala na lang natin.
Sa ginawa ni Trillanes? Siguro naisipan niyang mag-ala Rizal o kaya naman ay Bonifacio na nagbukas at nagpaalab ng puso ng mga pilipino. Gusto rin ba nyang maging bayani? Marahil maraming tao ang sumasang-ayon sa kanyang simulain ngunit hindi lahat sa kanyang mithiin. Ano nga ba ang kaya niyang gawin kung sakaling siya ang humalili sa nakaupo? Mababago kaya niya ang ating sistemang atin nang kinamulatan? Isang kadahilanan ng hindi niya pagtatagumpay ay kulang sa preparasyon, pagpapalano sa madaling sabi..katulad nung nakaraang post, sabi nga "dOn't do all things in a RUSH".
take it step by step...
"sLoWly bUt sUreLy".
Bakit nga ba lagi nating sa gobyerno isinisisi ang mga problema? tayong mga mamamayan ang dapat umaksyon, simulan natin sa sarili natin,bago natin sila pakialaman... ang ilang mahihirap na sa halip na nagsusumikap ay lalo pang pinapalala ang kanyang kalagayan... Simulan natin sa pinakasimpleng paraan..kilalanin natin angtaong karapat-dapat sa posisyon at yun yung iboto natin. O diba? simple lang pero may maidudulot na maganda...
There are so many questions, some question are simply amenable by yes or no, favor on not in favor, but the another question is this, what is the impact of every question.
We try to be aware on what's happening in our country, not just only try! but we have to, we are obliged coZ we are Filipino, citizen of our native land. It's for our future, for them also, and for our next generation...

i am definitely not in favor of what sen. trillanes did...he had just put himself into trouble..
firstly he is a senator, he should be doing his job instead of making things worst for him..maybe it is the real reason why he ran to be a senator to come out from the jail and prepare for another move, offcourse what he did lately..
knowing pres. gloria macapagal arroyo is proven clever and a strong one..he should have prepared much better before making a move..there has been several trials of ousting the president still they haven't succeeded.
i am in favor for a change..becoz of what we are all experiencing right now...but we are definitely not ready who among them do we think is deserving for the position and is surely going to serve us truthfully with no hidden agendas?...offcourse we can't name any..i strongly disagree for what he did..
looking at the performance of the president we can't say that she is the worst..they're all the same..
in fact, 'hindi naman niya pinabayaan ang bansa'..another thing she is intelligent...i think she is still better than the vice president or even any of them..in case they can successfully oust the president.
if we are not ready how could we go on for a change?
any of them having a position for example the senators..they also have powers right?..and they can do things to help 'para mapaunlad ang bansa'..if i were them i would be doing my best and show everyone what i can do...and how far i can serve them...they shouldn't contribute for the worst..they should be doing their jobs and help develop our country...they are all fighting themselves yet not even brought a little help...
that's all...good day!
I agree with what you have posted. He did it again, and he failed again. I am really against in the present government but I don’t think that it is a good idea to oust GMA Administration, we should follow the law, well, yes, it happened before and it happened again, He did it before and he failed again, maybe because primarily he has a hidden agenda for doing this not only to make the president leave her position, but to replace her as well. It is such a shame because he uses the military for his plans and Thank God people don’t support him. Gloria Arroyo is a monster but with what he did unconsciously he made the people realize that he is not different with the monster he has fighting with. They are both animals and they deserve each other (Trillanes &Arroyo). They don’t know how to follow rules and what they only want is to have the highest position so that they can do their personal motives. What a shame to have these two animals in our government.! And there’s many more..

Some of the people take respect for what he have done but most of the people dont like what he have done...some of this people said that it is so embarassing coz it is recorded and watched by other countries,some said that he is just using that as an alibi because he wants to be the leader of this country...Sen. Trillanes did a wrong moved,forcing the President to be oust.He dont have efficient force to do it...He just make me remember of the
phrase "ningas kugon"..,He is just starting the fire but dont know how maintain it...
He has the guts to start it but dont have the balls to finish it...coz guts cant make you win a war.Is he really that determine to oust the President?
Another thing that I remeber in that siege is "why does Sen. Trllanes dont have a second plan?".He just surrender when the joined force of army,navy, and police arrest him.Is he really for real or what?

i think that this siege has a big effect to us filipinos bec. of the curfew that takes place especially to those people that was working late at night.. and to those people that was having fun at the bars, clubs and to those who were outside the streets that have no idea that there was a curfew.. they were totally shocked.

As what i see it..The country is exercising politics too much.
We are in a place wherein politics turned negatively.
I can compare our status to a vertical line because people tend to pull those who are on top of them.
Why can't we learn to be patient and forgiving?why can't we trust one another?Is the sense of Bayanihan really gone in our environment?
The thing here is that..politics is always good. It just turns bad depending on who uses it.
Wake up you filthy politicians.
Don't just think of the present status...think of the country's future. We are the ones who suffer because of your selfishness!!
