Antonio Trillanes IV: What do you think of him?

[Hensoldt]

I want to know what you guys think of Antonio Trillanes IV. He's running for the Philippine senate and there's a good chance that he'll fill one of the twelve positions.

If you remember he led the Magdalo group to mutiny back in 2003.

Is he a traitor or a true patriot?

Well, sa pag-kakakilala ko sa gentleman na ito at base na rin sa e-mail na natatanggap ko he's seems a patriot.High hopes sya sa AFP modernization plan,at hindi sya nakatiis sa corruption sa AFP at mga heneral na nang-corrupt na ultimo pambili ng mga combat shoes ay ninakaw pa.Isa rin ang kinaayawan nya ay ang favoritism sa AFP,lalo na yang promotion at mga political appointed na tao na wala talagang kakayahang mamuno.Isa rin kinainis nya ay yang mga extremist muslim and bandits na mas may malakas na armas kesa sa kanila,dito marahil nag-kulang sya ng Intelehensya kung sino?at papaano nakakakuha ng mga armas yang mga pesteng bandido na iyan,at sino ang financier at tumutulong na bansa diyan,yan yung unang sinigaw nila sa Oakwood na yong kalaban nila ay di maubusan ng armas at bala.Sa kabilang banda they regret Mutiny dahil rin sa epekto nito sa ating imahe at ekonomiya ng bansa.

I can see Honasan in Trillanes but I do hope the latter will make a difference.:)

Is that a good thing?

The only accomplishment that I am aware of (of Honasan) were
- he played a key role on kicking out Marcos/ses from Presidency and out of the country. They came back though like nothing happened.

-Strings of attempts to cause havoc to the Gov't , heading or supporting coups' .

Meron pa ba? pls educate me....I'm just a dumbass na hindi na nagbabasa ng newspaper sa atin.

[quote=mamimo;284094]Meron pa ba? pls educate me

I think you have enough knowledge of Honasan as for Trillanes he is also idealistic, intellegent, charismatic leader but turns rebellious when he cant contain the outburst of frustration seeded from the ills of the system in Philippine Military. If ever the Magdalo officer will be proclaimed as one of the senators in the 14th Congress, may he serve according to his ideals and refrain from habitual engagement in any distabilization moves that may bring him to the same fate that of Honasan.:)

[Hensoldt]

^ I admire Trillanes' idealism and patriotism, which most of today's politicians seriously lack.

But if he ever becomes a member of the senate, he should let Arroyo finish her term and focus his energy instead towards combating corruption and cleaning up the system. He should go after the smaller fishes first to gain skills and experience needed to annihilate the greediest of the greedy further up the food chain.

God! I hope he's the real thing.

Ano kaya ang mangyayari kung ang magkakandidato ay ang mga pari na lang o di kaya Madre? Gaganda ba ang ating bayan? Kasi , subuk na talaga kung ang kandidato ay galing sa military (PMA), abogado(UP), artista(Showbiz) talagang gagawa sila ng corruption at katarantaduhan pag naka upo na sa position. May talent nga sila pero inaabuso naman. Eh samantala, kung Pari at Madre ang tatakbo, may konsyencia yon at may takot sa dyos. Seguro malilinis na ng kaonti ang government natin. Parang anti virus na nililinis ang serang systema at ni repair pa. Ano sa palagay ninyo?

Intelligent? No question about that...he knows his way to the top, by hook or by crook.
Patriotism? An officer who raised his right hand and took an oath to defend his country from enemies foriegn or domestic. He chose to become the enemy.

He's a Patriot alright.....
Now, this thing will become a trend...expect other officers to do the same. Expect multiple coups in the next couple of years. Kasi instead na ibitay sila they become instant celebrity...it's not going to be a happy ending all the time tulad ng nangyari sa kanya at kay Gringo. Blood will spill and when that happen, it'll be too late.


What he did along with his troops was punishable by death....their lives were spared( as he expected). He knew exactly what he was doing.....like I said , to get to the top.


Let me ask you something.....what do you think is gonna happen to the rest of his troops if he gets a seat in the senate? They all become "untouchables". Hari sa kani-kanilang lugar.

Untouchable Ex-MIlitary, Can you imagine what they can do?

Pls enlightened if you think I don't know what I'm talking about....

[ryu4192000]

Trillanes should have been jailed for treason IMO.

I know he was frustrated with corruption in the military but how he chose to express his frustration is just plain wrong. As soju san mentioned, he has sworn to and oath to the profession that he has chosen. The sad thing is that these people are never made accountable for their actions.

I am not a Pro or Anti-Trillanes, but to judge him like that IS NOT FAIR. Have you ever thought if you were on the shoes of those soldiers? Haven't you heard the cries of the Filipino soldiers that were sent to humanitarian mission outside the country?(I just forgot which country) The corruption in the AFP is eating the system. Kung kayo ang naipapadala sa bundok at ang suot nyong combat shoes eh tinahi nyo na lang ng kamay dahil ang supply na dapat na ibigay sa inyo eh naibulsa na ng mas nakakataas anong mararamdaman mo? Hayan at hinahabol nyo ang mga bandido, itinataya ang buhay mo para sa BAYAN, nakikipagbatbatan na ang hawak mo'ng armas eh kalawangin at short range pa, samantalang ang mga bandido eh High-powered gun ang dala, anong maiisip mo?

Let's not be too judgemental...wala tayo sa katayuan nila. Kahit siguro ako, magwawala sa galit kapag ganoon ang nangyayari sa akin dahil ang MISMONG mga tao na dapat sana eh kaakibat ko eh sya pa mismong pumapatay sa akin. Hindi nila gustong manggulo sa Oakwoon Mutiny...WALA LANG CHOICE DAHIL WALANG NAKIKINIG. Nabasa nyo ba, kinausap na nila si Madam GMA before na the mutiny, ano pa ang sabi sa kanila???? KAKASUHAN DAW SILA!!!

BAKIT? Dahil sa pagsasabi ng katotohanan?BAKIT?da hil sa pagpuna sa Maling SYSTEMA? GMA is a HOSTAGE of the MILITARY.WHY? Because she knows that if/when the military withdraw its support to her, mawawala rin sya sa puwesto.

Who is the real enemy? Who is the real traitor? Who is more deserving to be put to death for treason?
Trillanes and company or the corrupt kleptomaniac officials and their accomplices who systematically plunder the nation's funds for their own personal gain at the expense of the soldiers, the Filipino people and above all the welfare of the country?

Here's a few example of the extent of the corruption in the AFP, which is likely just the tip of the iceberg.

Are you telling me that Trillanes was a clean cut innocent young kid when he joined the military and he didn't know what he is getting into? He had no Idea who is Gen Garcia or Gen Ligot. Are you telling me that Trillanes wasn't on the same page with with these 2 notorious Generals?

He decided to raise arms against the Gov't. ..... it was just a coincidence that the Gov't. was doing their sweep and getting rid of the bad bananas from the men in uniform when he decided to do that.

Anytime you do something like a coup, you are supposed to be judged by the people since you have done something that affects the country. So it's FAIR to judge him.

Trillanes had a chance to make a change. If he is indeed idealistic, he could have waited until it was his turn to run things. Instead he decided to throw all that away and lead a mutiny. Jeez, he has only been in service for 5 years!! 5 years and you tell me he is already that desperate (walang choice)?

Anyone who decides to join the Philippine Military should know what to expect -and I know he is fully aware of this. So spare me the drama of combat shoes. Strapping bombs on condo unit and throw a wrench on the economy is a way to get that fixed? Tell me how many coups and mutiny have we undergone as a nation? Did it solve anything? The only thing it did was to pave the way to more coups and mutinies.

Either he is really brilliant and plotted that this is one way to get noticed (and run for the Senate) or he is really dumb being duped by his handles (Honasan?) into doing something like this.

Before the mutiny, he had an enviable future. Charismatic PMA-grad, he could have stayed the course and change it when it was his time.

He sure knows what kind of cesspool he was getting into, and he did it hoping that he'll make a difference somehow, but didn't realize the extent of the cancer plaguing the AFP.

Corruption is said to be one of the main reasons that the armed forces are ineffective in dealing with both domestic and regional terrorism, and that Manila has troubles protecting its interests in territorial disputes like the one over the Spratly Islands, which Beijing also claims.

Corruption has always been a part of the Philippines' military, according to numerous studies and expert assessments. But Marcos institutionalized it, according to these assessments and administrations that followed his. When members of the armed forces removed him from power, they became politicized themselves, appropriating the role of watchdogs and rattling their sabers if they thought the government was not performing well. Analysts blamed the failure of civilian governance for this increasingly messianic mindset in the military.

Corruption has been cited as a main factor in military adventurism. In July 2003, when hundreds of soldiers mutinied to demand reforms, they accused their superiors of mismanaging the military retirement fund, causing irregularities in the procurement of supplies, misusing the money that was supposed to modernize the armed forces and selling guns and ammunition to enemies of the state.

"Grievances about graft and corruption in the military," said a government report on the mutiny in 2003, "provide a fertile ground for the recruitment of officers and men for military intervention and even the overthrow of government."

Kevin Cross, an expert on security issues at Johns Hopkins University in the United States, concluded in a report that corruption in the Philippine military was "perhaps the single most dangerous security threat to the nation."

Cross wrote that the selling of supplies to the enemies was "twice as damaging to the armed forces of the Philippines as it depletes its own offensive capability while directly strengthening its adversaries."

In the navy, bribery from smugglers and the pilfering of boat fuel are common, according to Antonio Trillanes, a senior naval officer who led an anti-corruption mutiny two years ago. The mutiny failed, and Trillanes and other officers remain in custody.

"Many of our officers receive payola from these companies and individuals with interests to protect," said a colonel who was privy to the investigations of some corruption cases involving officers and who asked to remain unidentified because of his involvement in a number of investigations that are ongoing.

Recently, several high-ranking officers, two of them generals who used to be comptrollers in the armed forces, were accused of amassing hundreds of millions of pesos in unexplained wealth. Subsequent investigations alleged that these officers had made money through kickbacks and payoffs in the procurement of military supplies and equipment. The officers are now in custody awaiting courts-martial.

Officers have also been implicated in irregularities involving the purchase of helmets, pistols, machine guns, uniforms and combat boots.

"It is not unusual to find soldiers in the field wearing only flip-flop slippers because of the substandard quality of the supplies," said the colonel, adding that "corruption is a big issue that affects morale on the field."

Corruption is particularly worrisome, analysts say, because the Philippines spends a small amount of its gross domestic product on the military - only 1 percent last year, compared with 3 percent for Indonesia, and 5 percent for Brunei and Singapore.

The Philippines, considered by Washington as its second front in the war against terror, is the top Asian country - and the fourth in the world - in terms of U.S. military aid. It received $115 million in 2003, up from $38 million in 2001. In 2003, it was the No. 1 beneficiary in Asia of U.S. military training programs.

U.S. help has improved the Philippines' capabilities and has led to the capture of several Abu Sayyaf leaders.

But gains like these are easily offset by the effects of corruption, Abuza says.

Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz said the reform program would allow the armed forces to defeat communists and terrorist groups like Abu Sayyaf and Jemaah Islamiyah in 6 to 10 years.

"I am confident the military can do it," he told journalists last week, adding that the program aimed to professionalize personnel and improve logistics, operations and intelligence planning. Another goal of the program is to reduce corruption, he said.

Ultimately, however, corruption in the armed forces can be minimized only if corruption in the civilian government is minimized, said Golez, the congressman.

"Fighting corruption in the military requires a more comprehensive approach by the government against corruption in general," he said.

International Herald Tribune (http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/05/25/news/phils.php)


If we closely examine the root cause of our country's problems, we'll find that our apathy, and tolerance with regards to corruption is one of the contributing factors keeping our country from moving forward.

The "senator from Maguidanao" Sen. Juan Miguel “Migz" Zubiri is the wealthiest among the neophyte senators elected in the last May 14 elections. He reported a total net worth of P43.3 million, which he said was boosted by his marriage to young socialite and model Audrey Tan.

Detained senator and Oakwood mutiny leader Antonio Trillanes IV emerged as the poorest among the new comers in the Senate with a net worth of P2.2 million.

Zubiri was followed by Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano who declared a net worth of P16 million in his Statement of Assets and Liabilities (SAL), but has debts worth P2.8 million, including P1.5 million borrowed from his mother, Sandra Lee-Schramm-Cayetano and a P1.8-million Pag-Ibig housing loan.

Two other neophytes, Sen. Benigno “Noynoy" Aquino III and Sen. Francis “Chiz" Escudero, came in third and fourth with net worth P13.3 million and P7.4 million, respectively.
