FVR on emergency declaration: “overkill”

People Power, EDSA, whatever you want to call it, it was a failure. People Power turned out to be a pointless soap opera or a game show…Pilipinas, Game Ka Na Ba? What’s to celebrate, 20 years na katarantaduhan at kaguluhan?

Alright Gloria, we’re back in business. Here’s my suggestion. If you really want the legitimacy of your leadership, then declare Martial Law. As long as your true concerns are for the economy and long-term prosperity, then do it. Don’t be afraid to strike or they will.

[...] Former president Fidel Ramos says the decree was “an overkill.“ [...]

this is my personal take on EDSA celebration:
PEOPLE POWER was borne out of the efforts of the people who have dreamt of having a society conducive to peace and progress for its people. The people were not wrong at that time…it is just right to overthrow a dictator.
It is the GOVERNMENT LEADERS and OLIGARCHIC families who betrayed the Filipinos and taken them for a ride. Instead of executing and fully implementing policies to uplift the plight of the majority, they embraced hook, line and sinker the greedy, sinister and corrupt ways of the old traditional politicians and old elites.
GMA was the greatest and biggest disappointment and disillusinment that we, the freedom-loving and reform-minded Filipinos, had trusted the country, along with its 85 million people, with. With her pedigree, educational background and the manner by which she was catapulted into office, she could have made a big difference and tremendous moral impact in our political and social climate. but she chose to thread the path of the old ways—even having the temerity to justify her sin and omission by saying that, well…anyway everybody is corrupt and she is just a player in the system….etc.
under is an outline of scandals and issues rocking her office upon assuming the presidency:
1) IMPSA deal - Jimenez, Perez, et. al
2) Vicky Toh caper - Defensor a big character in the melo-drama using gov’t resources - Mahusay, et. al
3) Prosecution of Erap did not prosper - she has no moral suasion to pursue because she’s also guilty of the same crimes
4) Acsa Ramirez blunder- instead of recognizing Acsa for her honesty, she was convicted and humiliated by publicity by no less than the president. (maybe…this is a veiled threat for those who will do the same thing because of larger sums of money that will eventually disappear in gov’t coffers come election time)
5) Majority of government appointees came from the military–why? is she trying to consolidate an absolute hold on power and for what reason? we may be realizing now that she have a need for them after all
6) Bolante caper, re-stolen marcos wealth…etc, etc.billions of funds missing or unliquidated
7) Bankrupt gov’t institution –why the importance of E-VAT?
Family connection in big time smuggling and jueteng largesse surpassing the alleged estrada takes
but maybe…the biggest disappointment are the character, and profiles of personalities we elect in office ( maybe…cheated their way into one). who perpetually mouthed inanities, illogical reasoning, immature bickerings and immoral partisan lines because they materially, financially benefit from them. intelligent individuals who would rather take the moronic stance for personal enrichment and power posturings.

“It’s an overkill,” Ramos said in an interview with ANC this morning. Ramos said he was “surprised, appalled, dismayed” about the proclamation
………………………………………..
MR Fedil V. Ramos, whatever you call it, it is overkill, excessive force or else, It’s it better to do something to thwart this evil effort exerted by these rogue soldiers and satanic intentions of the opposition than to sit there and wait until got faded. The President want to show to these opportunistic individuals the teeth of our existing laws. You cannot compare Gloria with Cory, Gloria is much capable of running a country than Cory. We have seen and we have experienced how badly Cory ran the country before, anyway she is only a replacement to his husband.

These rogue soldiers specially Gringo Honasan only shows his cowardice, since he will only attempt his adventurism to a Lady President, this guy didn’t even try to bother you(FVR) when you became a President, not even once and even a single rumor, maybe I’m wrong.

Mr former President(FVR), why is it necessary for you to broadcast your comments to the current President, when you can call her and give her some piece of advice. What are your intensions? Are you trying to add more fuel to the burning flame? Why can’t you tell the people, to be calm and to be peaceful enough, to prevent escalating tensions, when your voice still commands a strong respect to the Filipinos.

Lastly can you discipline these rouge soldiers or if you can extend it to these power hungry, greedy oppositions?

What’s the difference betweem a “freedom-loving” adult, and a freedom-loving “CHILD”.

A whole world of difference.

Guess what category Pinoys fit into in the above metaphor?

Most will probably guess right.

So maybe everyone should just sober up and take their spanking like a man (ironic, considering a woman is dishing it out to the so-called “macho” Pinoy society). ha ha!

Look back to the last 20 years and think of what Pinoys spent their energies on… Fiesta Revolution, Fiesta Politics, and Fiesta Reproduction.

We know how she reacted too with the late Louie Beltran after the coup, Fidel. It was a classic example of overkill too.

at para sa mga personahe dito na minamaliit ang karangalan ng mga Pilipino:
kayo na marahil ang pinaka maingay na trumpeta ng mga tiwaling politiko at gahamang mayayamang pamilya na walang kasawa-sawa sa panloloko, pagnanakaw at pag-aalipusta sa mga mayorya ng pinoy.
sinasabi nila na talagang mga lahi tayo ng kawatan, katamaran at kawalang disiplina at kabahagi lamang sila ng sistemang ito. ngunit hindi ito totoo. pinipilit nila tayong maniwala sa kasinungalingang iyon dahil pinakikinabangan nila ang resulta nuon. pikit-mata na lang nating tatanggapin dahil pinaniniwalaan natin yun. ayaw nilang mabuhay tayo ng marangal at me dignidad dahil pag nangyari yun mawawalan sila ng limpak-limpak na kabuhayan at pakinabang dahil sa mga gawain nilang tiwali.
basehan ng aking mga pahiwatig:
1) ang mga pinoy na siguro ang isa sa may pinaka-malawak at malalim na sakop sa ambag nito sa mundo at mga maunlad na lipunang nilipatan nito. sila ay mga pinagpipitaganang doktor, narses, engineer, seaman, academicians, caregivers, arkitekto, it professionals, entertainers, etc.ibig sabihin, sila ay nanagana at umasenso dahil ang lipunang nilipatan nila ay sumusuporta sa ganitong uri ng pamumuhay ng kanilang mamamayan.
2)pansinin din ang pagbabago sa mga personalidad na halos patapon na sa ating bayan ngunit ng makalipat sa maunlad na lipunan…nagkaroon ng dignidad at maayos na pamumuhay.

why, bernardocarpio. what did cory do to louie beltran? was that an overkill? did it affect national interest when she sued him for libel?

Eh di lumbas din ang true colors! Die hard corysta pala at sya pala ang hindi nag babasa. Di alam ang ginawa ni Cory kay Louie Beltran. Ang giangaw kay ni Cory ngayon alam na. yung betrayal kaya ni Cory sa spirit ng EDSA magbbubulagbulagan uli. Marching with the Martial vulutres in Ayala. O bak hindi pa rin nakiat nag pagkablimbing ni Cory. Pagkatapos patalsikin si Erap. Ayun, nakipag kapit bisig kay Loi at Jinggoy sa Ayala last Friday. Kunsabagay, Asan ba si Cory nung mag EDSA. So gaano ba talaga ang kapit ng spirit of EDSA kay Cory. Eh wala nga sya doon no. Sino ba ang nakikinabang ng husto sa EDSA? Ang taong bayan ba o si Cory lang at ang kanyang Kamag-anak Inc. At sino ba si Drilon na gusto nyang pumalit kay Gloria. Inanak nyang tunay! Diosco, eh nagpepray ng rosary daw sa Ayala to celebrate the People Power. Eh yun pala pagreresinin lang si Gloria at ipapalit si Drilon. Cory is a very epitome of a leader who trampled the Legacy of peopel power Spirit.

The true spirit of Peopel Power like so many of my freinds stay away from the celebration precisely because of teh mockery that Cory is doing with Peopel Power!

At bakit kasi di pa aminin ni FVR that his change to make this country “great” ay tapos na. Give change to others. Eh dami dami pang atat na atat mag presidente eh etong si FVR namn gusto nakikipagsabayan pa t gusto pang bumalik sa pwesto!

ryebosco, you are too naive. It is quite obvious why she is doing all this.

the sooner the state of emergency is lifted the better for all of us.

i don’t want martial law..period.

ilan taon nating sinabi na patay na ang spirit of EDSA. nakikita ko na nga noon…parang reunion ng beterano ng ikalawang digmaan ang nangyayari sa selebrasyon sa EDSA…sabay sinasarhan pa ang daan wala naman tao. kahit yung tatlong main players hindi magkaisa sa iisang araw na yan para man lang sa bayan. tapos ngayon biglang buhayin ang diwa ng EDSA…kala ko ba patay na.

sa akin, patay na ito sa EDSA. naiwan na lang sa iilan sa ating mga kababayan na patuloy pa rin nagtratrabaho nang tapat para umunlad ang kanilang pamilya at ang bayan.

parang wala naman tayong natutunan, andito pa din tayo nagkakagulo, nag-aaway-away imbes na nagtratrabaho na sama-sama. simple nga siguro ang pareho kong ganito ang pananaw, pero bakit naman gugustuhin ang gulo at komplikado…eh hindi naman natin ikagiginhawa o ikaliligayan yon???

you can suppress me here but not in other BLOG. You are deleting my comments because it is hard to accept the truth.

thanks, admin

Sige nga? Let’s see you do it. Let’s see you assemble a force to do what you are mouthing out here along with others who presume to call for peoples’ heads to be served to them on a silver platter. Just waiting for the opputune time Mr. Benign0

Zir,

There’s never been an intention to suppress any views here. I was just as surprised to find that a lot of the comments have been ending up in the spam digest for the past couple of days. I’ve already recovered all the legitimate ones (meaning non-spam) and will continue to do so as the case arises. But do please bear with me. I am only human. I also have to sleep.

keep it up alecks…ang taong happy…merong “more energy”…

totoo nga may spasm nga…spasm ba tawag dun?
