REYES WAS NOT DETERMINED TO DIE!

It’s getting clearer that SOMETHING, and probably even SOMEONE, drove former Armed Forces chief Angelo Reyes to his death.

I’m not one of the investigators but I will dare say that Reyes was not DETERMINED on dying yesterday, that he had no intention to end his life as much as possible.

First, there are reports that Reyes was TALKING AGITATEDLY, or tensely, to somebody on his cellular phone, before pacing back and forth and reportedly finally shooting himself.

Obviously, whatever they talked about left Reyes with only two choices – continue living and fighting the allegations against him or end all his woes by dying.

Ang MATINDI, mga kapatid, hindi alam ng mga pulis kung NASAAN o na kanino ang cellular phone ni Reyes. Kaya HINDI MALAMAN ngayon kung sino ang huling nakausap ng nasawi.

Mobile phone companies should take the initiative to answer this vital question.

Next, police still don’t have the gun Reyes supposedly used to kill himself. Reports said Reyes hugged his wife and asked her to look after their youngest son before he left home yesterday, a premonition some would say.

But Reyes DID NOT LEAVE a suicide note. And for somebody decided on ending his life, Reyes had TOO MANY companions, a total of FOUR.

Kapag desidido nang magpakamatay ang isang tao, MAGISA niya itong gagawin. Hindi siya magsasama para WALANG MAKAKAPIGIL, o MAKAPAGLILIGTAS sa kaniya.

Apart from being too many, Reyes’ companions were only SEVERAL FEET AWAY from him, near enough to see him and stop him from killing himself.

He did not ask them to go somewhere, to get out of sight.

To top it all, retired Navy Commodore Rex Robles said Reyes had confided to him that a powerful group was out to get him and he did not have the strength or the means to fight it.

Take note, guys, Robles is not a member of any investigative body probing Reyes. Therefore, Reyes had NOTHING TO GAIN in revealing something as sensitive as that to Robles BUT HE DID.

As to whether Robles is telling the truth or not, consider this: He won’t get anything out of it.

From our blogmates on “REYES SUICIDE HIGHLY DOUBTfUL”:

MA. JENNAH MITRA of Quezon City:

I agree with you. I have the same speculation but who knows? Only GOD can determine the whole truth.

SUSAN CUNANAN of Makati:

In my opinion, Sec. Reyes was a man of courage...someone who had the guts to weather all storms which came his way. After all, he was a seasoned military man. It’'s just unbelievable that he'll take a coward's way out of this world.

VENUS AMORANTO of Binan, Laguna:

Maybe that’s the only solution Sec. Reyes had in mind to protect his family and his dignity. Maybe for him, death was an effective remedy.

BHABY SEE of Makati:

Dignity and honor could be the reasons why Gen. Reyes committed suicide. Like most Japanese who suffered tremendous humiliation and/or extreme depression, hara-kiri was the only way or "graceful exit" to spare one’s family from further embarrassment. Others claim Sen. (Antonio) Trillanes (a critic of Reyes) should watch his words. Hindi na bagay sa kanya ang salitang kalye. Otherwise, better for him to carry his military rank in the Senate and remove the title "senator". 30
