OPLAN AUGUST MOON

circulating online --Oplan August Moon ( Hope to write some of my thoughts on this in days to come...)Posted by Patricio Mangubat on Monday, June 29, 2009Brace yourself my friends for a tumultuous July. Some months ago, I've wrote an entry about the plan of hawks and ideologues within the Arroyo administration to create scenarios to implement Operation August Moon. This self-coup will happen the week after the SONA, on August 6, 2009. One of the indicators, say a source who requested anonymity, is the expected failure of the poll automation bidding." Pat, the plan involves compromising the automated bidding altogether, " says a friend privy to the plan. " Imagine, what was the reason why they approved of Smartmatic-TIM (the company that won the COMELEC's bid for election automation in the Philippines) when they know for a fact, that the only capability of the group is face value of Cezar Quiambao and Ernest Villareal. That's all. The so-called consortium which was backed legally by one of Comelec chairman's closest relative was never in existence. They just used the group to get the bidding and eventually the plan was really to mess things up. That would surely create unrest especially to the De Villa group who is pushing for automation of the elections."COMELEC Chairman Jose Melo said in an Inquirer interview that they don't want to negotiate with a "ghost". Well, I don't know about Melo, but I am totally surprised with Atty. Rafanan. Why did Rafanan failed to even check the credentials of Smartmatic-TIM before they even allowed them to take part in the bidding? Is it elementary for a member of the bar to do that?This failure of the Comelec just shows that the entire thing was a setup, a design to really sabotage the bidding and compromise the elections in May 2010.The plan also involves the heightening of tensions between rebel groups and the military in Mindanao since most generals distrust Southcom Brig. General Juancho Sabban. They want to keep Sabban busy in Mindanao so that he'll have his hands full while they orchestrate their moves in Metro Manila (a bomb exploded in the Ombudsman building and the discovery of another bomb in the Department of Agriculture building?).Sabban is the youngest member of Class 1978 yet he reportedly does not share his mistahs' dogged allegiance to Mrs. Arroyo. He was formerly a member of RAM (Rebolusyunaryong Alyansang Makabansa). Yet, says deeper sources in the military, he'll take extreme action once other members of his class went ahead with Arroyo's plan.Moves were to create an environment of chaos and confusion, with reports of bombings, assasinations of key government officials and members of the media. These black operations will be blamed to so-called JI or Al-qaeda members who, a week ago, was reportedly in the country already. News about their existence were floated to the media to be used later on by the government in the blame game.A move against Lacson accuser former police official Cezar Mancao is reportedly also in the pipeline. The source refused to say what would happen to Mancao.This early, talks that PMA Class 1976 of which the present AFP Chief of Staff General Ibrado belongs to and PMA Class 1978 were already at logger heads. Army Chief Lt. General Delfin Bangit is reportedly filling up sensitive posts without the knowledge of Ibrado.Bear in mind that all sensitive positions right now in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) are occupied by members of Class 1978. The Air Force is headed by Lt. Gen. Oscar Rabena. The entire NCRPO which has, under its disposal, the anti-coup task force, is headed by Chief Supt. Roberto Rosales while the head of the Manila Police District which provides external security of Malacanang right now is headed by Director Rodolfo Magtibay.Members of Class 1976 occupy the Central Command (Lt. Gen.. Isagani Cachuela), the Navy (Vice Admiral Ferdinand Golez) and the Marines (Major Gen. Ben Mohammad Dolorfino). The AFP leadership is also being occupied by a PMA class 1976 member (Ibrado) and the PNP (Director General Jesus Verzosa).The critical commands (Army and Air Force) are under the command of members of PMA Class 1978 while those with minimal numbers (the Marines and the Navy) were entrusted to PMA Class 1976.Sources say Mrs. Arroyo's group will ease Ibrado out prior to the 2010 elections. They will use as a pretext this August 6 affair. Members of Class 1978 will move decisively ten days after July 27.The plan is expected to take place on August 6, 2009, a full ten days after the SONA (SONA is slated on July 27, the Monday of the fourth week of July).A state of martial rule will be imposed for six months, while members of Arroyo's devilish clan tinker with the Constitution. Parliamentary elections are slated on May 2010.Other members of Class 1978 involved in this plan:In GHQ, Camp Aguinaldo:J2 (Inteligence) – Rear Adm. Victor Martir (PN – Philippine Navy)Deputy J2 – Commodore EfrenTedor (PN)J3 (Operations)- Maj. Gen. Carlos Holganza (PA – Philippine Army)J6 (Commel) – Maj. Gen. Jonathan Martir (PM – Philippine Marines)J7 (Civil-Military Relations) – Maj. Gen. Sealana (PA)DND-BAC Chairman – Brig. Gen. Gregorio Paduganan (PAF – Philippine Air Force)Chief of Engineers – Maj. Gen. Rudyval Cabading (PA)ISAFP – Maj. Gen. Romeo Prestoza (PAF)Presidential Security Group – Brig. Gen. Celedonio Boquiren (PAF)In the Army, six out of 10 infantry divisions are under the control of the Class of ’78 members, namely:Lt. Gen.. Delfin Bangit – Commanding General of the Philippine ArmyMaj. Gen. Roland Detabali – CG, Southern Luzon CommandMaj. Gen. Romeo Lustecteca – CG, 1st Infantry Division (Zamboanga del Norte)Brig. Gen Florante Martinez – OIC, 2nd Infantry Division (Tanay, Rizal)Maj. Gen. Vic Porto – CG, 3rd Infantry Division (Panay Island)Maj. Gen. Ralph Villanueva – CG, 7th Infantry Division (Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija)Maj. Gen. Manuel Tabaquero – CG, 8th Infantry Division (Catbalogan, Samar)Maj. Gen. Reynaldo Mapagu – CG, 10th Infantry Division (Caraga Region)In the Air Force, there is Maj.. Gen. Oscar Rabena as Commanding General, and Brig. Gen Jesus Fajardo – CG, 710th Special Operations Wing as well as Col. Carlix Donila – Commander, 530th Air Base Wing (Zamboanga).And in the Navy, the chief of the Naval Staff, Commodore Feliciano Angue, as well as heading the most strategically-located naval station in Cavite is Commodore Nestor Los Banes.So now the game of the generals are on! Who'll be check mated in the end?Now that I already revealed their plan in public, what now? Will they proceed with zero hour or not?The best strategy against this devilish plan is expose them in public. I already did my part. How about the thousands of Patriots out there? Will you do yours?

"Must I refuse the cup that the Father gave me?"

I accepted my fate, though not without struggle- in my head, foremost. Considering all that need to be considered, I have decided to move on and pursue higher goals; convinced that it is God’s will, or He would not have permitted things to turn out the way they did.

Yup, I am leaving.

***

I am leaving with a grateful heart, recognizing that things have not been all bad. It was a real blessing, in fact. Being there gave me and my family security. It allowed me to provide for our needs and more. I was able to purchase most of the things I wanted, allowed me to travel, do what I wanted to do- especially my social and political pursuits. My stay was, in sum, blissful- until it ended. Hehe.

I know. I cannot be more vague.

***

Basta, it is time to go, grow and glow, as I wrote somewhere (fb status last week). And I can only thank everyone for the good times.

May they be blessed as I have been.

kwentong consuelo- April 20, 2009

Lunes na naman, at siyempre ako ay "coding." For that, maaga akong gumising sapagkat kailangan kong makarating sa Balai Kalinaw ng alas-otso ng umaga. But, No! Mahigit kalahating oras na akong nag-aabang ng taxi sa C5 pero kamalas-malasan, panay "may laman" ang mga taxi-ng dumadaan. Nang tingnan ko ang aking relos, 7:55 am na!!! Hay, no choice. Pinuntahan ko si Consuelo, at ako ay umariba papuntang UP. Sampung minuto ko lang tinakbo ang Ugong-Diliman. Hahaha. Nanginginig ako nang makarating sa Balai Kalinaw. Hindi ko mawari kung epekto iyon ng adrenalin o dahil tinablan ako ng kaba. Papaano, ang normal na byahe sana ay aabot ng trenta minutos. Salamat at safe naman ako.

Si Vincent Jan Cruz Rubio

ay lumisan na.

Ka-kontemporaryo ko siya sa UP Diliman. Nagsusulat siya sa Kule noong ako'y nasa konseho. Madalas kaming magkita sa Vinzon's Hall.

Hindi ko naman siya talagang ka-close. Sa termino nga ng isang kaibigan, ni hindi ko nga siya nakainuman. Pero apektadong-apektado ako sa nasagap kong mga komento kahapon sa fb page ng mga kaibigan tungkol sa kanyang pagpanaw.

Brutal!

Nakita raw ang sasakyan niya kahapon ng alas tres ng madaling araw sa san mateo, rizal, sirang-sira. Ang kanyang katawan, sa isang bakanteng lote, tatlong kanto mula sa sasakyan.

Asphyxiation due to strangulation ang cause of death.

Beinte y otso anyos lang siya.

oops, i did it again! and again!

I flashed my I.D. card together with my license to the traffic enforcer to escape apprehension, did it thrice.

Not that I am proud of it. This is more of a confession.

(1) Beating the red light (At Kalayaan Ave. in Makati City). The traffic light turned yellow when I was about to approach the intersection. The other cars stopped while I went faster.

When I was way younger, like around 9 or 10 years old, I saw this commercial on the television which really appealed to me. It stuck on my mind . It shows the green traffic light turning to yellow. Then a question was posed: “slow down” or “go faster?”

Young as I was then, I felt I was truly being asked to choose. So, I made the decision that yellow light means “go faster.” I would not want to be left behind waiting for another turn to go. Time is gold and I cannot afford to waste a minute.

(2) Beating the red light again. (This time at Shaw Blvd., Pasig City) Hay, hay, hay. There goes the light again turning yellow and I went faster. Then goes the young officer, looking dead-serious, gesturing me to pull-over. Ayos! Mukhang matino ang binatilyong traffic enforcer ng Pasig. At mukhang marami rami na rin siyang nahuli that day. “Dilaw pa po kasi iyong ilaw, sir. Di ho ba, pwede pa akong umabante? Ayun na. At kailangan talaga niya akong paliwanagan na yellow light means “go slow then stop.” Going faster results to accidents. Tsk. Tsk. Siya, siya, hindi na mauulit. Salamat at gumana naman ang mahinahong pakikipag-usap. Nahiya na ako sa sarili ko. Marami ang nakatingin sa amin- mga pasahero sa jeeb sa kabilang linya. I must have disappointed them, I didn’t hand some cash to the young officer. Iyon ang hindi ko ginagawa at hindi gagawin, ever.

(3) Breaking the number-coding scheme. I was caught at EDSA, near Pasay Rotonda. The last digit in my plate is 2 and in the cities of Pasay and Makati, plates ending in 2 should not be on the road on Mondays from seven in the morning until seven in the evening.

It was 7:20 a.m., I was traversing EDSA, and at 7:20am, my plate did not escape the sharp eyes of the MMDA-traffic enforcers assigned in Pasay. Oh, well. I was rehearsing my excuse since my clock ticked 7am. I changed route and I didn’t know I would be caught on the road at past seven in the morning. Good thing I was near my office, about 5 minutes away. They bought my defense after taking a good look at my ever-helpful I.D.

Ang aking realization, hindi rin pala maganda sa pakiramdam ang palaging lumulusot. Sana wala ng 4^th flashing (of I.D.).

All plans are geared towards "the event" in 2010

i am back

I have been meaning to update this blog for some time now. For some reason, palaging nade-delay. Pakiramdam ko, kailangan lang talagang masimulan. Kaya heto, I’m posting this Kerygma message I read this morning. Tsaka na ung ibang kwento.
