		<description>since nandyan na ang comment. I therefore conclude that the thesis proposal to have the Aquinos directly involved with the rise of the ampatuans can be summarized by a quotable quote from cerge remonde: it is baseless and irresponsible.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It is my proposition that the Aquino Family — Ninoy and Cory — is responsible, in a major way, for the conflict in Mindanao, and more directly, the rise of the Ampatuans to power.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


?????????

why? was Ninoy responsible for the Jabidah Massacre?

Now as to Cory (I am now googling)

		<description>The Maguindanao “Back Hoe” Massacre will go down in the history of mankind as one of the worst politically-related crimes. What makes the crime beyond comprehension is the meticulous preparation that went it with it, the brutal and beastly execution of the plan, and the feeling of impunity that went after the crime was committed. This was no ordinary crime, this was an act of terrorism as the intent was to undermine the country?s political and democratic process by preventing the exercise of an electoral procedure, an exercise that is the underpinning of our basic democratic right to elect our own leaders. The crime is not just against the persons. The crime is against the country, and against every living soul that this country is supposed to uphold and protect.

In our long history as a group of islands that were eventually grouped as a “nation” now called the Philippines, we have never experienced this kind of barbarity. And yet, one finds that if there has to be a place in our country that such a heinous act of terrorism can be committed, it has to be in Mindanao. It will be interesting to find out how all these started. It will be interesting to find out who are responsible. It is my proposition that the Aquino Family — Ninoy and Cory — is responsible, in a major way, for the conflict in Mindanao, and more directly, the rise of the Ampatuans to power.</description>

		<description>going back to that te to one ratio.

Pagtapos ng harapan episode; sabi ni Gibo dapat dagdagan ang pulis at sundalo.

nainiwala ako na dapat dagdagan ang pulis biro mo isang pulis itapat mo sa singkwentang rebelde.

no match iyon, I also agree in police visibilty in populated areas.

but I maintain my stand that afp modernization should be at par with our neighbors, so that their will be more planes for our airforce pilotsand more ships for our navy. As for the guns and ammo we seem to have no shortage, yun nga lang nasa rebelde at kung sinoman at wala sa sundalo.

since modernization is suntok sa bwan , ang sundalo driver na lang at body guard kundi kusinero o kaya clerk sa opisina.that is why i do not believe we lack soldiers, it is the police we lack.</description>

		<description>First on the expulsion - so what??? Lakas-CMD needs the ampatuans more than the Ampatuans need the party!  Maybe, we can ask Senator Zubiri or even Chavit SIngosn about this.

Second, this is not the first time!  A whole famili was chainsawed to death (ordered by the Old Man) for ebing mere susoects in the death of his favorite son (Saudi Ampatuan).

The GMA administration has two choose between two standards!  Both clans (Ampatuans and Mangudadatus) are close ally of the President but it was the Ampatuans who were more successful in the delivery of the votes.  Remember the name &quot;TENG&quot; mentioned by GMA in the GArcia Tape?  She was actually referring to now SUltan Kudarat Governor Teng Mangudadatu.  WHo&#039;s got the better ACE.  It was Andal AMpatuan who cuddled GARCI when everybody was tring to locate (arrest?) him.

I expect whitewash!  GMA (and his allies) cannot afford to expose this mess in public.  Even the Mangudadatus do not expect that justice will indeed be served.  Worst is, Andal Jr. may be &quot;freed&quot;.  Deep inside, the Mangudadatus are expecting this.  Judgment DAy would surely come but not in the Philippine Courts.

The most stupid of them all??? Sec Jess Dureza.  First, he showed himself on TV weatign the reatest smile of his life inside the mansion of ANdal Sr to NEGOTIATE the surrender of ANdal Jr.  Then the so-called RATRAT (strafing) incident.  He thins that we are all stupid!!!  His evidence on his so-called RATRATING the helicopter incident is a blank bullet shell.  Where&#039;s the slug Mr. Secretary?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Karl: Malaki talaga ang problema sa Pilipinas, at mukhang lumalaki pa. Different folks, different strokes, like a few individuals (they have posted their thoughts at Ellen T’s site) yearn for Erap leadership and still blame what goes wrong not only onto GMA but onto those who surged-the-gates in the coup-d’etat against Erap. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

You are right, different strokes for different folks.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Then there are also those (benign0 most likely in this camp) who sense than in 3 months, the intensity in the media and blogworld about Maguindanao mass murder will fritter away and they will conclude this is just a representation of a weak Filipino psyche.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


This maybe a sad reality.Only one headline will trigger our selective amnesia .Come campaign period the issue will be buried. Iba&#039;t ibang topic na ang pinag cocomentan natin sa mga blog comment thread hanggamg may magpaalala na lang sa atin.O may mangyari na naman.

But because it is campaign and elections, a different outcome might happpen this may stick to our heads for a longer period  and make the power of public opinion put an end to overlordism and political dynasties.(hopeful thinking)</description>

		<description>Let us not veer away from the TOPIC. It is plain and simple, the perpetrators are Ampituans who does not want any political opponents to file for their candidacy, hence, they ambushed and committed these heinous massacre. But with all the carnage and cold-blooded acts, the wife was able to send a text message to her husband prior to her death. She clearly identified that the Ampituan Mayor was present and giving orders to kill everyone and clean up all evidence. 

Please read the Article written by &quot;Child of Earth&quot; a Filipino blogger, his piece was entitled: &quot;The Maguindanao Massacre.&quot; 

After reading this very nerve shocking article, I was too upset and was hit to my very core. I can&#039;t begin to imagine what they did to those poor woman. While alive, they mutilated her private parts, slashed it several times and finally shoot her breasts. Now, inspite of this horrible ordeal, she used her last strength to text her husband, to tell him who did it to her. My tears just kept on rolling down my face. How could they do such hideous and inhumane things to these innocent people? All because they will file their Certificate of Candidacy in the next election.

The victims are crying for justice in their cold graves. 

We, the International community wants to witness how the Philippine justice will handle the swift, fair and just administration of justice on the misguided elements who perpetrated this unthinkable acts. We will be watching.</description>
