Faeldon and our political stability

To make it easier for you to read and comment from now on, I will be making a separate blog for each topic instead of the usual three in one. Our first blog will be online by 5 a.m., the next by 12 noon and the last by 10:30 p.m. onwards seven days a week.

It’s time to think of our social and political stability, guys, following the temporary release of Nick Faeldon.

I’m not worried about a possible coup.

With Faeldon and his other fellow military adventurists like Sen. Antonio Trillanes now free, they have NO REASON to rally their boys again to another gimmick and destroy themselves in the public eye.

But there are other factions, especially the Communists or the Left, who are also asking for the freedom of their detained comrades, temporary like that of Faeldon or otherwise.

So what concerns me is what will happen if they are turned down? What will they do? Remember, guys, the Left has ARMED comrades in their ranks.

Comrades who have NO PROBLEM KILLING OTHER PEOPLE, be they innocent civilians or soldiers. Fighters who don’t lose sleep after every ambush, who plant landmines and other types of bombs and detonate them like toys.

The Left also has the logistics, the CONNECTIONS and most of all the MONEY. I came across a news item several days ago wherein Communist leaders revealed that the movement had already collected several BILLIONS in revolutionary taxes.

Like Faeldon, Trillanes and others, they stood up against the Government. Twenty to one, the Left will definitely argue that if Trillanes, Faeldon and company can be released, why not their jailed comrades?

And I’m only citing the Left as an example. Don’t forget the Muslim separatists who also have the connections, the arms, and the money.

So if requests for freedom of their comrades by these two groups are rejected, how safe are we from whatever they’ll think of next? How prepared is the military to deal with them?

I would appreciate any immediate reply from anybody.

MARIBEL NIALA of Quezon City on the planned sale of camps Crame and Aguinaldo:

Show the Filipinos (first) where the money earned from selling government properties go! In the end, what we should see should be concrete. Let’s cease the cycle of making fat pockets in the government grow bigger.
