P.S.
hindi nyo alam kung ano ang buhay sundalo.
hindi nyo alam kung ano ang baho sa loob ng barracks.
silang mga tinawag na "REBELDENG SUNDALO" ang lakas loob at
sumumpa na ibuwis ang buhay ma-ituwid lamang ang matagal ng
KAGAGUHAN na nagaganap sa loob ng kanilang
(Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes,
Col. Victor Corpus, military intelligence chief, at
Director General Hermogenes Ebdane, police chief) pamamalakad.
"He added their demands would be forwarded to President Arroyo,
including the resignations of Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes,
Col. Victor Corpus, military intelligence chief, and
Director General Hermogenes Ebdane, police chief."
At the standoff in Makati, navy Lt. Sr. Grade Antonio Trillanes
told reporters, "We are not attempting to grab power. ...
We are just trying to express our grievances against this
government and against the chain of command of the
armed forces of the Philippines."
The troops appeared to be led by junior officers calling themselves
"Soldiers of the Nation."
