Let us suppose that Malacanang, Inc. has set for its goal-setting priority the whole agenda of going about charter change at the earliest time possible and – at whatever costs to pay. And then it succeeds despite massive opposition to it by people across the social stratification. Ergo, we either have a GMA playing role as Prime Minister or President – depending on how the new Constitution has designed the entire scenario of “GMA Forever” – to be.
When that happens, it would only result in one thing. The combined force of the AFP and the PNP will be put to good use in a scheme of massive militarization as the editorial of Malaya has already suspected it to be
– a way to condition the minds of the people toward the upcoming cha-cha. So is this the reason why a lot of military and police troops are being stationed in malls, markets, other public places as though the whole
Holiday Season has always been wrought with crime drives from lawless elements? Even criminals take a break from the trade, don’t they?
Well, that is getting close to being paranoid and it is stupid enough that the armed services will be the first to worry about some mythical thinking of a mercurial rise in crime rates on such a time when peace reigns across the universe. It is an entirely misplaced activity for the PNP to state that they are there to protect the populace. Protect from what? It is as if the security and intelligence services of the AFP and PNP have been
commissioned by purely civilian corporate entities than really taking charge of their own vital stations – the military camps, the police stations, and the borders.
That is entirely absurd for the AFP and PNP, individually or both, to do – a total waste of resources. The days and weeks from December and January next year are not one that necessitates their presence everywhere
and more so of the possible violations on human rights resulting from checkpoints or chokepoints that are being built along roads and highways. Has not the Supreme Court already ruled on the un-constitutionality of this gun-totting activity?
It seems that in the higher order of things, there is more to it than meets the eyes. Perhaps, every corner of a highway or rotundas will have checkpoints and military and police personnel will be guarding malls, markets, churches, and publicly-frequented facilities to insure that peace and order are preserved. We might as well request the AFP and PNP to post their personnel in villages, subdivisions, hotels, motels – everywhere? If their strength is found wanting, then Malacanang can always advertise so new recruits will be added to the total strength?
Perhaps, there is a sort of loose hair coming from the Secretary of the Department of Health in his stupid TV ads showing rather morbid cases of bodily accidents resulting from our traditional mania of starting the year
with a bang – as in lighting some firecrackers. According to that doctor, he wants to scare everyone on the dangers of buying pyrotechnics or firecrackers for this New Year’s celebration. What a kill joy can this
doctor-secretary get not to say all his TV ads lack elementary good taste – as though that would scare the wits out of those who will still light firecrackers no matter what. Maybe it is the PNP who wants to be sure, no explosives will anymore be circulating around in time for “martial law” – in its most subliminal form.
Or so, why Enrile posts himself as the Senate President? It tells us Malacanang, Inc. – with that end in view of “GMA Forever” – only will place key players who will kowtow to the whim of the lady-occupant – call it at the next judical turn as usurper of power. Maybe, the Malaya editorial is thinking right that some early signs of a martial law regime are already taking place. And rabid politicians in Congress are there to usurp power by excluding the Senate in the whole agenda long set as a goal by the ruling administration.
We shall see more of Mar in street rallies shouting that infamous “Putang ina! Ano ba ito?”. As a people, we have become dumb and numb. We have become deaf and blind. We have become easy to be governed and
perhaps, Enrile keeps on reading his book, “The Prince” and that of the works of George Orwell – preparatory to what we may call the Orwellian nightmare?
There is nothing more to save. Erap caved in – for fear of his life. In the thick of the “hello Garci” – we lost the legal battle in Congress and in the Supreme Court – for fear. All born out of fear – we will, as a people, lose in the rest of the battles and the Lady wins each and every time. Maybe, she who has the gold rules the world and with a very interested First Gentleman in a “conjugal affair” to ram the cha-cha through our throats, there seems to be no real option left. An all-consuming ‘prostitution’ as the Joc Joc inquiry might suggest is taking place at all levels of governance. Poor us – nothing more to save.

Over naman yata ang pag ka praning mo!
Can you please check who voted for Enrile to be the senate president? Kasi sa mga nabasa ko kasama doon yung mga anti admin,si Lacson, Madrigal, Estrada, Escudero, Legarda
etc…
Id rather have gloria as prime minister than Roxas.
rego, all the concerns mentioned above are legitimate and we should take action to prevent a future so dark that Nazi Germany would pale in comparison to the reign of Empress Gloria.
Revolution is the only option (and, wont you admit, a festive distraction from the daily grind of commuting to work and working in a call center).
Kaya join-na kayo. Same place and time.
See you at Starbucks :)
Nazi Germany???? And you are saying you re paranaoia is just normal!.I think you guys are really unbelievable.
Rego,
Don’t talk as though not all of us know who voted for Enrile – since sure we know that he has been voted by both – the administration as well as the opposition senators.
This is so because it appears he has the more superior intellect not to mention experience that spans all generations of presidents we know.
In other words, for this simple equity of the ‘senior members’ of Senate, he is of no equal at the moment.
The only point here is that you would rather have Gloria than Roxas and that is really being “praning” if there be a word worse than that.
I don’t know rego, but I think or would rather advise that you really do a lot of analysis first before you even open your mouth.
There is nothing wrong with Enrile except that indeed, he knew the ABCs of Martial Law 101 and that should kind of scare us a little bit. Again, he can fake anything as though it did happen, when it did not – just to convince you, rego.
In the field of concessions, you know, I hope why Nograles is on the way out?
geez, I dont like enrile ever since. But just becuase he knows teh ABCs of martial is enough reason to be really sure that he can declare martial just like that.
everybody knows that to declare martial you need the approval of 2/3 of the house. That only means that declaration of martial law doesnt rest on the hand of Enrile and Gloria alone but on thw congress.
I only pointed out that Enrile would never ever be Senate president without Lacson, Roxas, Legarda, Escudero or even Gordon. And we all know that these people are so eager to become the president. Are you saying that they gave up their presidential ambition and pave teh way for Enrile to fake everything and decalre martial? Sorry but i can cannot believe that at all.
If martiall will be decalred blame it to these people too who installed him as senate president.
And btw, it doesn’t matter if enrile is a senate president or not. If he really wanted to fake anything he can do it in what ever capacity. He doesn’t even need to be a senator to do that.
rego,
Did you not know that with the kind of Congress we have now, 2/3 vote by the House via Skinnerian payola – on any motion over issue at all – is very easy to come about?
The cha-cha move is a classic case. If they have to boot out Nograles for not towing the line, they will and they already will replace him with the old Villafuerte of some notoriety.
Getting 2/3 is even conservative by any standard. More than that number, Congress can easily muster. It is not the Old Boys Club for nothing, doesn’t it. So we have a clear case of plutocracy in our body polity where businessmen cum politicians rule.
And there is no stopping the cha-cha train – with or without martial law. Isn’t there already martial law, come to think of it?
You should do he same analysis too karlpopper before you even dangle the martial law bogey on us. Because not all people are stupid to believe your kapraningan just like that. alrighty?
oh for heaven sake, karlpopper, stop lecturing me on what kind of congress do we have now. I wasnt born yesterday. Before you even go to congress, look at tsenate first because it was there were your kapraningan started. They are the ones who installed Enrile in the first place.
But arent you and your ilk saying the same thing when Nograles became the Speaker. That he was installed to facilate the cha-caha so now hindi pala sya si villalfuerte pala .. Ohhh please , you are really so unbelievable.
No wonder Gloria hindi nyo mapatalsik si Gloria after all these years. You are just a liars and as bad if not worst as you accused her to be.
really ther was already martial law? karlpopper when it was declared. Bakit nakakpagsalita ka ng ganyan kung may martial na? dapat matagal na kayong nasa kulungan kung may martial law na nga.
tigilan ako, you have been sowing the martial and cha cha paranoia eversince just to unseat Gloria. Your trick did not work before and will never ever work at all!
When will you ever learn karlpopper?. Dont you think its about time to change tricks?
I just thought rego would read gore.
Nandito ka na rin Rego.
Mga ilang araw na din kita nakikitang nagcocomment.
============================================
Primer or Karl popper,
why is police visibility a waste of resources?
pag walang police,sasabihin nating wala silang silbi.Sa mga tv shows at mga sine, alam na natin palaging huli ang police.
I am no fan of martial law, kahit na anak ako ng militar, at lumaking bilib ke macoy.(martial law baby)BUUUUT,
questioning police visibility and say it is a prelude to martial law is a stretch.
and all of these are from someone claiming to be a former staff of Enrile.
=============================
nagsawa ka na ba sa pag cut and paste ng mga comment mo sa ibat ibang blog at forum?
iba talaga pag me kausap kang ibang tao ano?
napansin ko, sarili mo lang ang kausap mo sa mga comment mo na nakita ko.
Yeah Karl I just discovered this blog recently and I got this short break from work and projects.So heto nakapag blog uli.
Karl G,
Thanks for reading my comments.
Police visibility in malls or where more people go did not serve any particular purpose, it only relocates where the crime will be committed – a little away from them – maybe still a throwing distance.
I guess di ka pa nadudukutan ng wallet.
This feat alone requires 2-5 people ( i mean da snatcher plus the accomplices).Saan nagyayari yun,sa crowded places.maging sa divisoria man yun o sa mga mall.
sure, walang natitirang tutulong sa mga umuwi sa madilim na eskinita na pwedeng ma rape maholdap at masaksak ng mga sarili nilang kapitbahay o dayo sa lugar na iyon.Kaya nga me mga tanod eh.(kulang din)
siguro yun ang isa sa mga ibig mong sabihin.
