Regarding the militarization of a certain area in central luzon if the civilian are willing to accept them or not is depending to the influence and propaganda of the other side armed group or the NPA.

i witnessed here in bulacan even during the time of Gen. palparan that some were afraid and others were more than willing since illegal loggers, criminals had difficulties to move.

Unless the head of the battalion commander of certain unit is morally upright then we will not have problem with human rights violation. If not then we have to contend to have constand dialogue with the military so that they will respect our civil liberties.

I can speak about this since I saw it with my own eyes. I just pray that people may come to know the truth and depend human life.Thanks

“The accused-appellant avers that his constituents in the First District of Zamboanga del Norte want their voices to be heard and that since he is treated as bona fide member of the House of Representatives, the latter urges a co-equal branch of government to respect his mandate. He also claims that the concept of temporary detention does not necessarily curtail his duty to discharge his mandate and that he has always complied with the conditions/restrictions when he is allowed to leave jail.

“We remain unpersuaded.

“No less than accused-appellant himself admits that like any other member of the House of Representatives “[h]e is provided with a congressional office situated at Room N-214, North Wing Building, House of Representatives Complex, Batasan Hills, Quezon City, manned by a full complement of staff paid for by Congress. Through [an] inter-department coordination, he is also provided with an office at the Administration Building, New Bilibid Prison, Muntinlupa City, where he attends to his constituents.” Accused-appellant further admits that while under detention, he has filed several bills and resolutions. It also appears that he has been receiving his salaries and other monetary benefits. Succinctly stated, accused-appellant has been discharging his mandate as a member of the House of Representative consistent with the restraints upon one who is presently under detention.

“Being a detainee, accused-appellant SHOULD NOT EVEN HAVE BEEN ALLOWED by the prison authorities at the National Pentientiary to perform these acts (emphasis supplied). [Pp. v. Jalosjos, 2000]

UPn student:

Seeking to find answer to my own question, I came about this case of Romeo Jalosjos. The Supreme Court cited in an obiter dictum the following:

I am sure Gringo’s sponsors or Trillanes’ sponsors will foot the bill for the equipment. Put video-conferencing equipment in the jailcell.

I wonder how Trillanes or Gringo can serve as senator, granting they’re elected, if they are confined in jail and charged with non-bailable offense?

It’s unlikely that they’ll be allowed bail (I don’t know of any precedent). And, if they won’t be allowed bail, how can they attend session? Or, vote? Or, argue?

Hmmm… should we not be answering this questions first before we cast our vote for them?

Please enlighten me fellow voters..

Alex Magno’s 5/11 report in his column in the Philippine Star is very interesting indeed. It seems that a caravan of party list leftists, surprised by the hostility of its residents, was driven out of a “poor” community in Tondo. The leftists, apparently trying to foment anger upon the soldiers doing beneficial community action there, fled with their tails between their legs, red-faced (pun intended)in humiliation.

Glad to hear that the “masses” are beginning to see who their real friends are, and who are the enemies. The days of the clenched fist and of hideous slogans and hateful red flags are numbered. Get them out of the government that they are trying to destroy.

Wait, how can it be in Honasan’s favor again? Hehe. Honasan needs to go to get another TU person in without hurting their current numbers.

I have a feeling someone from TU will be junked in favor of Honasan.
Weird, but my first post did not include my reaction to this statement.

This is not your feeling. This had been floated in the media.

One more TU will enter the magic circle.
