UPn Student, circa 80′s, the ‘national democrats’ (natdems) was (is)used, among other things, to distinguish between the ‘social democrats’(socdems) and the ‘liberal democrats’(libdems). The Natdems are those who belong to Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN) who advocated boycotting the elections in 1986. Crispin Beltran of KMU, JV Bautista of SANLAKAS, Satur Ocampo of Bayan-Muna and Etta Rosales (now of Akbayan) are representative of this group. Some of them are UP Students (just like you), but i think there are also those who come from Catholic schools.

cvj: Who were the national democrats? Were the national democrats (nice catchy name) a UP Diliman student-activist group, or were they from the Catholic colleges?

Bencard, it’s always good to be reminded of Anna’s posts so go ahead and quote her. You can start with the one that talks about ‘horses wearing blinders’.

cvj, but she came back after that, again and again to dish out some more of the same crap, didn’t she? I’m sure you don’t want me to quote her later posts like you did with her earlier ones.

Bencard, to refresh your memory, after you said this…

cvj and U.P student, those are mostly unresolved issues that you have enumerated, not proof of Ã¢â‚¬Å“offenses against human decencyÃ¢â‚¬Â as you insist. In human terms, you need evidence that will stand up in a court of law to prove an assertion and arrive at the Ã¢â‚¬Å“truthÃ¢â‚¬Â…- Bencard October 7th, 2006 at 4:01 am

Anna said this…

Oh my goodness me, this is unreal – I canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t believe the what IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m reading here by GloriaÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s die hard supporters. Utterly delusional!

I admire the folks here who have the patience, the stamina to listen to or read such downright rubbish!

Mlq3, IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m outa here. – Anna de Brux October 7th, 2006 at 4:14 am

…and your replied with this…

anna, Ã¢â‚¬Å“utterly delusionalÃ¢â‚¬Â, Ã¢â‚¬Å“rubbishÃ¢â‚¬Â? you are getting a bit too personal. Why donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t you argue with your intellect, or are all these over your head, out of your league. If that is the case, goodbye and good riddance. – Bencard October 7th, 2006 at 5:04 am

So don’t be surprised that she does not respond to your comments.

Bencard, from what i remember, Anna de Brux did not respond to you in general because she felt you were not worth her time. I am more familiar with her ideology because, in a reaction to a comment i made in this blog, she once told me about the good that Margaret Thatcher did in the UK.

Anway, as to your rewriting of history, I was here during the Cory years and the ‘left’ vs ‘right’ in Cory’s government at that time was largely between Joker Arroyo/Teddy Boy Locsin, who represented the ‘left’ and Jaime Ongpin/Jobo Fernandez who represented the ‘right’. By that time, the national democrats have already been marginalized because of their boycott of the 1986 elections. Of course, there is no convincing you, because by your logic, even the coups launched by the rightists in the military were the fault of the left.
