Palace Declares State of Emergency

[FK]

---

Para sa ako kung weak imong pamalakad dili gyud mosalig sa imo ang mga tawo.

being strong dili kinahanglan mo declare og state of emergency, just read back the comments on pnoize2k4 og onsa ang possibleng epekto kong wala siya ni declare og state of emergency.

i am looking at the other side of the coin. if she declares martial law then i believe during that time the rallies will be joined by all sectors.

you are right... maro siya, she is very careful nga dili specifically declare og martial law, again ngano kinahanglan pa man mo declare og state of emergency. It was noted that the main target of this declaration was not the plot conspirators, but the press.

kay kong after ra siya sa so called enemy of the state... dili lagi kinahanglan og state of emergency para madakpan ni sila.

"If the plotters had succeeded, the country could have been in flames by now as the factions of the extreme left, the misguided elements of the military and the political opportunists fight among themselves for supremacy," Bunye said.

Black Friday: A Call to Action

From another forum:

My fellow e-Mandirigmas,

Last Friday, February 24 - as the nation was preparing to celebrate the freedom we
regained at EDSA two decades ago, Ms. Arroyo issued Proclamation 1017 declaring a
state of emergency, in response to a military uprising.

In the hours and days that followed, it became evident how GMA intended to implement
this presidential decree. We saw the excessive use of police power in dispersing the
crowds. And even after the military threat was decisively contained, we saw the
warrantless arrests of known opposition leaders, the closure of newspapers, and the
barefaced intimidation of media owners and practitioners.

PD 1017 is eerily similar to PD 1081. And the pattern is unmistakably Marcosian.
Crackdown on the reds - the public has no love lost for them, anyway. Control media.
And prop up the illusion of a new order after the purging.

I'm glad that many, who have been sitting on the fence all this time, saw through
the farce and finally came out to take a stand. I saw prominent businessmen, showbiz
personalities, and working professionals go to the streets to defy the proclamation.

Sadly, however, there are those who remain unmoved. Worse, they even embrace the GMA
propaganda that this is ultimately for the greater good.

I am reminded of 1972 where many in the middle class and the business community
actually welcomed the "New Society" of Marcos. They lauded the arrests of known
communists; they deserved it, many thought. They didn't mind reading and watching
government-censored news. They didn't mind the imposition of curfews and the
curtailment of some basic rights. All these were a small price to pay in the
interest of stability and prosperity, or so they thought.

Until one day, the government began sequestering their business. Until one day, they
began arresting someone close to home and they realized they had very little legal
recourse to protect their rights.

It is time for the business community, the middle class, and all other sectors to
make a stand.

Today, we launch the Black Friday Protest Movement to give you an opportunity to be
counted with low risk and nominal involvement on your part. All you need to do is,
every Friday, you and your friends can wear black, go to a designated place and hang
around for about 30 minutes and leave.

How will you know the designated time and place?

Register by sending a blank email to BlackFridayProtest-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
When you're registered, you will receive an announcement every Wednesday evening
(Manila Time) of the designated time and location for the coming Friday (example:
5:00 to 5:30 PM at the nearest Jollibee restaurant from your place).

There will be no speeches or programs at the designated place. Just people in black
hanging around for a few minutes to be counted. All these are within the bounds of
the law, even a repressive one like PD 1017.

The Book of Ecclesiastes teaches us there is a season for everything. I believe this
is the season for mourning. the death of democracy and the numbing of our national
conscience.

It is time to reawaken. It is time to be counted. It is time to say, "tama na! sobra
na!" Please register now by sending blank email to
BlackFridayProtest-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and pass this on to all your friends,
colleagues, and egroups.

By God's grace, we may yet see a better Philippines for our children.

God bless,

Enteng

at least it is successful, the coup attempt has been averted..the AQUINOS plot to bring down PGMA was fizzled.

at the end of the day, i come to think that this problem rooted on the HACIENDA LUISITA issue!

Ask lang ko, kung moingon ko nimo "Hoy, psst, tolstoi pwede ka mo withdraw ug support sa Presidente?" Coup de etat diay na.

coup d'état (pronounced /ku de'ta/), or simply a coup, is the sudden overthrow of a government against the volonté générale formed by the majority of the citizenry, usually done by a smaller supposedly weaker body that just replaces the top power figures.

The term is French for "a (sudden) blow (or strike) to a state" (literally, coup, hit, and état, state).

There was no overt act. Nagsulti lang si Gen. Lim. Asa may kudeta ana?

@ moonrose: Ikaw man ang nag akusa ikaw ang mo present sa facts.

okay about presenting facts. Lets say ang opporsition ang na a influence or the technical know-how-to-wiretap. alang alang mo present sad sila ug tape were involve sila. As what ive said bai. Since sa panahon ni marcos grabe na ang awaresness sa mga politiko to manuever their victory sa election. Mao siguro to ang turning point sa pag panikas in running a public seat. Karon, kinsa man ang buang mo angkon ako ang nag buhat ana. in short bai. Hipokrito ang uban politiko.

Vidal Doble and company wiretap GMA and Garci to check whether Garci is loyal to GMA or not. Pero kini man gud si Vidal Doble daghan asawa nanginahanglan ug kwarta. Unya kaila sila daan ni Samuel Ong nga known Erap supporter. Iyang gibaligya ang wiretap tapes ni Ong for the amount of 500 thousand.

Samuel Ong then gave the tape to Tatad who gave it to Allan Paguia and some other personalities. The rest is history.

And why only on Gloria, how about sa uban? Wla ma apil considering, the source and the the one who bought it. :mrgreen:

[mosimos]

Naapil baya ang taga oposisyon. Pero wala may wrong sa ila gitawag kang Garci. Paminawa ra gud.

[RuSteD]

Yup limpyo ang opposition considering they are the source.
