IT'S FALLING APART!

And there lies started to crumble.

Remember July 27, 2003? That day when these Magdalo soldiers held our country in hostage? On that day they accused Sec. Angelo Reyes of ordering the bombings in Davao.

Well, in the questioning during the Senate Inquiry, Lt. SG Antonio Trillianes (yes, him, that arrogant bastard!) said this, "For the record, based on our evidence, we have no direct link. The Davao bombings have no direct link to Secretary Reyes."

Imagine, you have the tenacity to place bombs around the country's central business district with the sole reason that you are showing your disgust to the corruption in the military. Then, then to prove your point you accused no less than the Defense Secretary of ordering the bombings in Davao, and yet, you don't have enough evidence! how foolish can you be?

How foolish Trillianes can be? And this is the guy whom a lot of girls (and gays) have been hero-worshiping?! My gad! I never liked that guy the first time I saw his face on TV that early morning of July 27, now I can prove to myself that indeed I wasn't wrong in not liking him. ( I also don't like Sec. Angelo Reyes, but that is another story)

Here's the story from today's edition of thePhilippine Daily Inquirer:

Trillanes: No direct link of
defense chief to bombings

THE SPOKESPERSON of the Magdalo group of mutinous soldiers has admitted having no direct knowledge of Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes' involvement in bombings in Davao City earlier this year.

Navy Lieutenant Senior Grade Antonio Trillanes IV said during questioning at a Senate hearing on the mutiny that he was not personally aware of Reyes' involvement in the bombings in March and April that killed more than 40 people in Davao City.


"For the record, based on our evidence, we have no direct link. The Davao bombings have no direct link to Secretary Reyes," Trillanes said during questioning by Senator Loren Legarda-Leviste.

He said he and his fellow mutineers came up with the conclusion that ranking armed forces and defense officials were behind the Davao bomb attacks based only on the testimony given by Army Captain Milo Maestrecampo that a superior officer had ordered Maestrecampo to hurl a grenade at a mosque in Davao City.

Transcripts of the Senate hearing showed Trillanes also said his group linked top defense and military officials to the bombings because of documents on "Oplan Green Base" which they believed had the signature of Eduardo Ermita, presidential adviser on the peace process.

The documents also bolstered the mutineers' suspicion that ranking government and military officials were behind the Davao bombings, Trillanes told the Senate.

"We used that as some sort of propaganda material," Trillanes' testimony went.

Ermita has denied signing such a documents. Defense and military officials say the documents were bogus.

Trillanes insisted that the explosives used for the bombings came from government arsenal. "Whether the airport bombing was the [work] of the MILF [the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front], the point was that the ammunition and the explosives used there came from the government arsenal," his testimony at the Senate went.
