May The Force Be With You

A party with a vision for change, a party that merged Christians and Muslims, and a party that developed a unique system of leadership is now recognized as the most dominant party in the country – the Lakas-CMD.

With the collaboration of two known parties namely Partido Lakas ng Tao, spearheaded by Former President Fidel V. Ramos, and the National Union of Christian Democrats, which was fore fronted by Raul Manglapus, Lakas-NUCD was created in preparation for the 1992 elections. A couple of years after, it formed a coalition with the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino for the 1995 elections and was then known as Lakas-Laban coalition. By 1998, the party was bonded with the Union of Muslim Democrats of the Philippines and formed the name Lakas-NUCD-UMDP. And by 2001, the party was renamed to the current title Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD). And to make the party stronger, it merged with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s mother party, Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (KAMPI).

Albeit this party was formed from different races in different times, they still proved their dominance by sticking to their number one obligation which is to serve the country; yet issues, questions and intrigues seem to put a crack on to this democratic stronghold. One of which was the act by the Palace to remove Jose de Venecia as Speaker of the House, and the issue that he too, for delicadeza, should let go of Lakas party due to the trouble he had made. A strong force that can really put a crack to the walls of the party, can they really stand still and recover from it?

All people have their weaknesses, even the strongest person in the world would have an opening of his weakness, yet Lakas-CMD can still shove all these intrigues and problems. The question here is how long will they hold the position of dominance? How long will they prove everyone that merging is not just about sticking to the strong but about sticking for a good cause? They have merged Christians and Muslims, yet Muslim leaders can’t be seen in the picture. Can this be just sort of a part of the game or just nothing but a show off to gain the sympathy of the mass?

No one can really tell how people play in this game of politics. Lakas-CMD may be the best party so far, but until when can they hold their advocacies? As of now, proving this recognition would be a better way to drive all these dragging concerns that doubt the most dominant party’s power. Acting in our country’s worst may let us, the Filipino people, feel what it is to act on our country’s best. With great power comes great responsibility.

From the point of view of a political science major, what is the impact of the 2nd move of the Magdalo group to my own study of political science? What did Trillanes and his group proved after their recent 'taking over' of the Manila Peninsula Hotel? Was there really an advocacy behind this taking over or was this just a move to stir peace and security?

In fact, in 2003, Trillanes and his group seized control over Oakwood. As a result, they were prosecuted for crimes like sedition and rebellion, in both military and civil courts. He is being prosecuted for a conduct at becoming of a member of the AFP in the military court and is being prosecuted for rebellion in the civil court. In both courts, trials are still pending.

In the May 2004 elections, Trillanes ran for senator. He conducted his campaign through propaganda, like the internet because he was detained, and so he cannot personally conduct his own campaigns. What's fascinating here is that despite of his physical absence, he was still able to make it up to top 13 and so he was elected and duly proclaimed as senator of the Philippines. As a senator, he was not allowed by the court to attend sessions in the senate because he was under detention. In the RTC, when he applied for release for him to attend sessions in the senate, the RTC used the case of Jalusjos wherein the Supreme Court ruled "being a congressman does not entitle you to this kind of priviledge". But the critics said that Jalusjos was pronounced guilty(when he won the elections). The difference was Trillanes is presumed innocent because he was not proven guilty, therefore, Jalusjos' case should not be used in his case. Trillanes' supporters insisted that he should be allowed to attend the sessions but the Supreme Court defended that he is facing sedition and rebellion(w/c is usually equivalent to life imprisonment, therefor non-bailable) and so he shouldn't be allowed.

On November 29, 2007, even before his trial started, Trillanes and his group walked out of the court. They walked from the Court of Justice to the Manila Peninsula. So what are the impacts? Nanjan ung nadamay ang media as well as the clients of ManilaPen, and there was an overreaction from the part of the administration. Why? The administration has always been afraid to the military. If you remember in EDSA II, even way back to EDSA I, when the military withdrew support, the martial law ended...when the military withdrew support, Erap left his seat. That's why Gloria was afraid to face those insurgencies.

According to them, it was sedition. The problem here is that it can't be sedition because in the first place, under the Revised Penal COde, sedition needs public uprising. Before you take control over a certain part or certain private property of the govenrnment, you need public uprising. But the taking over of the ManilaPen happened without public uprising. Was there a civil war or anything in the taking over of the ManilaPen? There was none, so it can't be sedition.

It can't also be rebellion because the Magdalo group does not really seek to take governance over the Philippine Islands. All they just wanted was to oust Gloria. They are not saying that they will take place if Gloria is removed from her seat. They are pointing na magkakaroon ng bagong liberato, but they aren't saying that it will come from them.

Media, the police stated upon justifying curfew is that media had been the hindrance on their plan to get inside the hotel.(In the Articles of War-the media is regarded as innocent person, therefore protected. So kung may gumalaw sakanila sa gitna ng enkuwentro..they would be liable to the International Courts of Justice). The media defended that before they were allowed to go out, the military began throwing teargas, w/c prevented them from escaping.

Police Operations. What is wrong here? First, this is supposed to be strictly a police matter. Internal peace and security is for the police. External peace and security like abu sayyaf or for example Iraq would be having a war with the Philippines, then that would be the time for the AFP to take place. If it's in the waters..there are the marines(because we do not have what they call as the 'navy'). If it's is the air..there is the airforce. What happened was the police was the second in line and the front liners were the marines. So, what is wrong here? It is the presence of the marines. Why? Because the ManilaPen isn't located in the waters.! So why marines? Then they let the Special Action Force to handle the job. This SAF has no training on what a police should do. The job of the police is to negotiate with the hostagetaker(for example) to surrender and release his hostage. That is the job of the police. The critics said that it should be the job of the police.
Next is that Trillanes walked out from court to the ManilaPen, which is about 4blocks or more, but nobody stopped him. The question was..where are the Makati Police?Where are the Philippine Police? You can't say that he wasn't recognized because hello! Trillanes is a senator, he is a public figure, therefor it would definitely be impossible for him to be unrecognized. These were the anomalies surrounding the escape.

Then there was a curfew. The public was threatened because this might be a prelude to martial law, which i think Gloria is intelligent enough not to impose because it will be tantamount to self destruction. Before the curfew, it was said that there were 3 who escaped. The weird thing here is that the whole AFP were there but still, 3 managed to escape. According to the report, the police saw a waiter going to the carpark carrying some foods, but nobody followed him. Well, we don't know the machinations of the AFP but still, you can see that there is something wrong. So un, the curfew was imposed. The public reacted that there was a media blockout(kasi the media still needs to cover some emergency cases like accidents, etc.). They were allowed naman but before they pass, there were lots of scrutinies, because according to the police, the 3 who escaped pretended as media persons. So what happened? Guingona was arrested. Trillanes was arrested. The media men were arrested because the police believes that the 3 who escaped might be one of them. If it is so, then why would you arrest Ces Drilon? Why would you arrest Sandra Aguinaldo? Meaning to say, there were lots of irregularities regarding the operating procedures of the police, of the military, of the marines, with respect to the situation.

So, where in political science would I relate it? This is actually an interplay of the executive, legislative and judicial branch of the Philippines. Since Trillanes&his group are memers of the AFP, they are subjected to the control and supervision of the Chief Executive. Legislative because Trillanes is both a member of the AFP and of the Senate.(accdg. to Biazon, they were helping Trillanes to be updated on to what is happening in the senate). So what is the implication here? The judiciary is passive. It remains inactive unless cases are filed. Going back to the question.. What is the implication of this situation to the bigger sphere of the dynamics of the political subdivisions of our own government. The only message that Trillanes was able to send was that: "You can always walk out from trial but you will always submit to the forces of the military. Why? Trillanes walked out from his trial. The problem was he wasn't convicted of final judgement, so what he did was not really escaping from prison, so a possible offense was contempt of court. The person who should be given charges here were those who were assigned to look after him, which is Infidelity in the Custody of Prisoners. Kasi.. bakit nakatakas..?! If you were the police and you saw Trillanes marching the streets of makati..ano gagawin mo? Siyempre your initial reaction is to go after him and say "hey,stop..etc", right? But then, nobody did that. Kaya ang posibleng response ng tao e magaksabwat lahat.
Then when a gun was pointed..his excuse was that there were civilians in the place. Ayaw niya daw madamay ung mga sibilyan. The point here is that... It was his second time to compell for GMA's resignation yet you failed. Since it was your second attempt then you should have stood on your advocacies. Sana pinanindigan mo na. Cause if he died on that moment, he would have been the hero of the land. It might lift the public's emotions to cause GMA to leave her seat of power. But since he surrendered because a gun was pointed the only message that i absorbed from what he did was... "You can always walk out on your trial and escape the courts of justice, but you will always surrender when a gun is pointed on your head".

Still human nature..he was fighting for something big..and he failed.

Ako ay may isisiwalat sa inyo
Isang tinatago-tagong bagay ng aming grupo
Sana’y mamulat kayo sa pagsisiwalat kong ito
Nawa ay magiwan ito ng marka sa inyong isip at puso.

Isang tula patungkol sa aking napupuna.
Walang halong kasinungalingan ito’y base sa aking nakikita.
Walang personalan, ako’y walang balak manghiya..
Tama na..heto na at sisimulan ko na..

Kapag maaga ang klase, laging nangunguna si France Requizo,
Kasunod si Brian na nakauniform pero alang polo.
Biglang papasok si Bhenmar na mahilig mamburaot habang hawak ang telepono,
Tapos ang running for honors/debater/future leader na si Rachael Seso.

Kapag may assignment... bestfriend ng lahat si Maricel Villocillo,
Na sanggang-dikit ni Rosecore na sobrang makwento
Biglang eepal si Fusi para gumawa ng diskurso
Sabay entra ng ever trusted president na si Jess..si Fusi, ayun barado.

Isa pa sa mahilig dumiskurso ang laging walang assignment na si Felix Lledo,
Kalaban si Welfs-ang valedictorian na boksingero..basta, certified probinsyano.
Sisingit naman si SK Kagawad Larry upang magrap, magharlem at humingi ng respeto
Kasakasama si heartthrob Melvin…ubod ng gwapo, kaya lang kalbo.

Kung alang prof, andyan si Jei na masayang nagwawala
Kakulitan si Reyjel na cute pero isip bata.
Tatawa naman ang seryoso, mataray, mailap, at moody na si Sonia,
Katabi si Villados-ang medyo chubby na exbokalista ng banda.

Speaking of kantahan, ang lupang hinirang singer na si Kat ay di papahuli,
Katunggali ang super kikay power belter na si Rosalie.
Makikijam naman si Laine na mahilig maningil ng load with matching ngiti,
Naku, parang si Fatima, makulit maningil kaya barado sa marami.

Announcements? Di nauubusan niyan ang debating treasurer na si Erika,
Kung kulang ay daragdagan pa ni Careen na chikadora.
Ayan, updated na si Jasmine na “its better late than never” ang drama,
Pati na rin ang kakosa sa pagiging late na si Ehdz-ang liberong fashionista.

Sa larangan ng pagpapatawa, ang super impersonator w/ a hard to pronounce name Vrieloukarl ang bida.
Sa larangan ng pinagtatawanan, ang pormalpormalan at EMOng si Don ang kawawa.
Teka, masyado ng maingay, nakataas na ang kilay ni Pravis-ang aming Donya.
Na lagi namang barado kay May-ann na “habang bata, maghabulan sa ulan…dahil minsan lang sila bata” ang fave na kanta.

Loveteam? Di papahuli si Chen na isang frustrated ina,
At ang asawang phantom na si Erik-ang tatay na adik sa dota.
Nariyan din ang Emo na si Sam Clarence na may pagkakulit sa pagpapatawa,
Kaya naman highblood ever ang superduper faithful girlfriend na si Lucilla.

Kung may surprise quiz, ang interpretetatib dancer na si Papciel ay kabado,
Pati na rin ang supplier ng yellowpaper na si Keith, na ang response ay i don’t know
Ba’t di kayo gumaya sa baklabaklaang si Jordan na tinutulugan lang ang guro,
Kaya tuloy alang makopyahan itong si Jacob-ang tabachinching na simpleng bolero.

Kapag may discussion, si captain barbell Kennedy ay laging pabibo.
Pero sa pulis pangkalikasang si Cyrus, siya’y laging tablado.
Mas lagot na pag ang on-diet apo chickmagnet Mayer ay nakitarantado
Kasama pa ang bokalistang komedyanteng experiensadong basketbolistang entertainer na f4 na si Dan na pinakabeterano sa grupo.

Sa wakas natapos ko na rin ito
Pero teka, parang may kulang, parang di pa ko kuntento.
Isama ko na rin kaya dito ang paborito naming guro,
Para todo-todo na itong ginawang pangookray este pagkukwento.

Kahit na iba’t-iba kami ay may one thing in common parin ang grupo
Ito ay ang paghanga at pagkilala sa paborito naming guro.
Isang lalaking matalino, maginoo..kalog, mabilog..chubby, mayosi pero sukdulan ng gwapo
Ilalantad na natin sa publiko……..Mr. Sanjay Claudio.

Ayan tapos ko nang ipakilala lahat ng miyembro.
Siguro’y nabigyan ko kayo ng ideya kung gaano kasaya pumasok saming departamento.
Pero teka, may isa pang espesyal na tao na kulang sa tulang ito.
Ang taong nasa likod ng obrang ito..at iyon ay ako.

Sana ay nagustuhan at kinagiliwan ninyo itong ginawang tula
Sana ang bawat linya ay nagdala ng ngiti sa inyong mga muka.
Ito’y tanda ng pasasalamat ko sa lahat ng kaibigang nakilala’t nakisalamuha.
Maraming salamat.!Huling banat ng maygawa..huling banat ni Keene Adriel Villanueva..
