Who will know if C-130 was bombed or sabotaged?

The Victims of the Amazing Philippine Aviation

 

Recently there was a C-130 crash. The following miserable data could be gleaned from a visit to the crash site:

 

Arrival at scene, instant image — dagat, occasional fishermen and banca

Immediate environment of the air disaster — dagat

Videotape of crash site — maraming tubig

Air craft impacting — dagat

Impact heading — degree latitude, degrees magnetic, degree longitude, dagat

Air craft cockpit — nasa ilalim ng tubig, don’t ask

One third of main cabin — sa tubig din

Fuselage

Aft fuselage part — recovered from dagat daw?

Rear fuselage — so far recovered from dagat, daw

Engines

Possible parts– don’t ask

Wings

Right wing — don’t ask, look in dagat

Left wing — don’t ask, look in dagat

Landing gear — dagat

Altitude of First strike on impact — degrees magnetic, dagat

Seats and harness — dagat

Survivors — none, kinain dagat

(Anyone who didn’t want to return to family? Investigate.)

Remains

None — boots, uniforms, IDs, wallets? dagat

Disaster pouches —

Metal splatter, hot spots — who would know if there was sabotage?

Cabin floor collapse — how to know? ask dagat

Components outside impact swath — unknowable, ask dagat

In-flight structural damage — ask dagat

Temperature on ground — immaterial, ask tubig

Investigation On Site Report — report about langoy langoy sa ibabaw by divers, cannot dive deep

Personnel on the scene account — puro dagat

Possibilities

Dagat rises on high tide

Dagat subsides on low tide

Airplane still in the deep

 

Philippine Air Force Gen. Cadungog will have to explain a lot to the families of the victims. PAF cannot investigate. PAF can’t find the bodies. Fishermen and other people found small pieces of wreckage and personal items, that was all. If the bodies of the casualties were charred, the water would have swallowed the burnt flesh and ash. In an abnormal circumstance such as this, if there was an NTSB and foreign funding was provided for the agency there may have been enough equipment for personnel to make a dive into the 600 deep waters, a marine vessel of NTSB to bring both instruments and personnel to the site, and so on.

 

But there is no safety agency in the country. Sec. Mendoza, his people, the Department of Budget, Congress, the office of Madame Gloria, we all wonder what they’re doing after Cory Aquino, Fidel Ramos, Jose Marcelo Ejercito all failed to put up such a vital agency that vibrantly exists in other countries including the small ones like Singapore; even HongKong, a city state, or New Zealand (although NZ is not necessarily just a small town state) I think, have their very own. Some African countries that are underdeveloped may even have their own, it’s a real shitty situation for RP.

 

The Philippine Navy even suffered its own air mishap earlier this year. No one seemed to bother about the crash since the people in the air craft and the pilot did not die, suffering only bruises and cuts.

 

There seems to be something terribly wrong. What is going on with aviation in the country? Some fools are drumming up issues like aviation should get less attention because the country is suffering from a food crisis. PR girl Ellen Tordesillas (who lately teamed up with Yvonne Chua of Manila Standard, Booma Cruz of Probe TV and ABS-CBN, Jennifer Santiago, Luz Rimban, etc. to form a new PR group called VERAFILES) blogged that RP has too many international airports that it is remiss at managing the food deficit. The article in Ellen’s blog was written by Ernesto Pernia.

 

No self-respecting country will scrap its aviation. Ellen and Mr. Pernia should try blogging about more safety in the Philippine aeronautical highway than bitching about food. Everyone recognizes the problem about our oil and food crises, but there is little attention being given towards our safety in land, sea and air. For God’s sake, maybe even a thousand road mishaps have happened all over the country that should never have occurred at all. The Sulpicio and other sea mishaps are now lost items of human memory, except those of the survivors and the bereaved families of the recent sinkings. If we all forgot that there were no less than twenty — that is 20 in numerics — marine vessels, big and small boats that went down into the deep seas during Typhoon Frank’s onslaught that would have been very sad indeed.

 

Although in fairness to Ellen and Mr. Pernia, the international wire is fraught with bad news about the airline industry. Due to high gasoline, diesel, crude prices, the high stake of flying by air has driven away many customers. Those that want to go to destinations fast are merely compelled by circumstance to do so. It might even be said that aviation all over the world is currently, temporarily, a dying industry. But look at the small air lines in the country advertising low rates, they are trying to bolster their shrinking egos perhaps, but there is more to saving the industry than just letting it die.

 

Here in the country, government has created the strong republic nautical highway and the many new RORO destinations has instantly become a popular route for commuters. Mainly because it is cheap. But an aeronautical highway, is very long into the future. Dr. Enerico Sampang, President of the Philippine State College of Aeronautics (currently website not available, but Wiki has some brief highlights about Philsca) dreams of an aeronautical highway. Again, that will be in the future. The institution of a colleague of Dr. Sampang from the aeronautical education community just suffered another airplane crash when a trainer plane with a student pilot in it crashed just after the C-130 went down.

 

What is government to do? In a situation like the one prevailing in the country’s aviation industry, so much needs to be done and it is not simply buying one radar for Davao. It is not merely suspending or even taking away the franchise of a floating coffins service provider like S-Peruwisyo Lines. No one has even lifted a finger to thoroughly investigate what happened to the 20 odd other boats that sank during Typhoon Frank’s fury. No one is trying to make policy or much less, policy sponsorship or much, much less, unified policy advocacy for safety.

 

Safety. Should anyone really care for it? If people like Ellen who are complaining about food, people like Vice Gov. Emmanuel Piñol are complaining about the land they don’t own will be given back to their rightful owners, people like Supreme Court Chief Justice Reynato Puno and his colleagues – specially that fixer and wheeler-dealer Antonio Carpio will be worried about a judicial revolt that will rain fame, money, favors, women and love and passion and torrid sex on their supremest house, the political opposition flukes about when they will get to strangle a small president with their angry fingers, the ultra-right about when they can take over the country in behalf of a few politicians and greedy businesspersons, and the poor when they get to be rid of their poverty, no one will be thinking a bit about aviation. What is that shit anyway?

 

No one outside of the affected will even say, the recent crashes are a really sad day for our aviation. We grieve deeply for the families of those that were victims of the recent crashes.

 

If our efforts do not go to naught, some day, we shall pay a tribute to all of your kin that died and any small or large indemnity due them will go to you, the bereaved and grieving. Lose not your little hopes for that day…

Returning Land to Our Muslim Brothers

The discussion below gives a brief idea about ancestral domains. As much as possible, the minimum requirement for peace in Mindanao is a livable space, free from the fetters of intervention and war-mongering that rival tribes and foreign invaders in the past had undertaken. But as had been agreed upon in the peace negotiations, MILF will be granted by government with certain powers over their ancestral domain. The enemies of the peace pact cry foul. In all honesty, those that protest the annexation of selected pieces of real estate and the granting of powers of governance and self-defense are using the wrong premise. That is a practical and logical reaction since the objectors to the peace process between GRP and MILF are taking the wrong side of historical movement.

 

The United Nations seriously addresses the issues plaguing indigenous peoples all over the world. But even that fact will not prevent interest groups from asserting what they want others to believe as right: that tribal peoples will not be able to hold water to their money, influence and might. At the end of it, the enemies of the peace pact in Mindanao will find they are in the wrong side of the fence and will agree to compromise. By then, it will have been too late. An artificial War will have erupted into full-scale hostilities not only in Mindanao but also in Manila.

 

The only redeeming factor in the coming rush of violent events, is when the protestors of the peace process will be the first to die. And God-willing, I will be among those to first draw the sword to make that happen.

 

Ancestral Domain Claims

 

Understanding the ancestral domain claim of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is not difficult. Since the period of the late Pres. Marcos, up to the time of Tita Cory, FVR and to some extent, in Erap’s time, comprehensive efforts have already been taken to give back land belonging to the tribal peoples of the Republic of the Philippines. . . .The ancestral domain awards process is not perfect. But so far, there has been scant publicity that will put the entire effort per se in a negative light. To a large extent, the awarding of ancestral domains may still be considered a success.

On the vaunted July 18 earthquake kuno and the Blessed Mysteries of Santo Rosario de Calamidad

July 10, 2008 1:50 am / Leave a comment

 

 

 

 

 

Disaster Mysteries

and Disasters Known:

The Big Difference

 

 

 

We are sadly caught in a silent movie.  Not just any movie, it’s a really silent, horror movie.  It comes complete with a religious twist too!  Something about a rosary, the blessed mysteries and, for the suspense-action part of it, bang!  A calamity!!!

 

Calling the attention of Hon. Gilbert Teodoro and his uncle, Mr. Eduardo Danding Cojuangco: running the defense juggernaut of this country is not merely about working on selective potentials.  Calling on your consciences.  Calling on the Hon. Leandro Mendoza, Rey Berroya, Guiling Mamondiong, Lenlen Bautista:  running the transportation and communications concern of the country is a serious business.  Pray tell, when heads will start rolling.

 

There appears to be a very wide gaping chasm between the events that caused the present plight of the MV Princess of the Stars, the smaller sea vessels that sank in the wake of Typhoon Frank, the victims of the tropical storm in the regions and even in the capital region, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera and our cumulative available information and knowledge about disaster, calamity, natural occurrences, environmental flashpoints.

 

People, look once, twice, thrice and quar… WTF! at the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) — the only agency in the world as they say that makes disasters work properly — website.  What are they saying?

 

For instance, the Tsunami Hazard maps of the country — repeat — the country, Republic of the Philippines — is graphically represented only by Infanta, Real, Nakar (also known as REINA).

 

In the Earthquake Hazard maps again only the REINA is shown.

 

And so forth, and so on.  Then we visit the Phivolcs.  It shows its own hazard maps in horrendously minute images, in very, very small pixels, that if you expand them, they blot, scatter, blow, whathaveyou.

 

Possibly, even a simple Philippine Map by the Phivolcs, will literally kill you with apoplexy.  Why do they have to show us these things?  These are an insult to our small intelligence. To think that both Department of National (It) Depens, and the Phi(bble)(Jo)kes, are paying supposedly technically competent personages!  OMG!

 

Look at the fault line drawn by Phi(bble)(Jo)kes in their so-called map!  Shit!

 

You can see two parallel lines besides (the left and right) 7,000+ Philippine Islands and there is a teeny, weeny blurred line here and there inside the land masses that are also tiny tiny tiny!

 

To get a decent idea of where the fault lines run, you still have to go to far-away sites like the USGS, the Carleton College online encyclopedia site, while the site of NDCC will leave you breathless, with anger and a sudden illness.

 

Now comes the greatest of them all:  Tessie Tomas’ favorite lampoon topic, FAG- ASS- AH A!!!

 

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.  In its page, about what they intelligently call PSWS, you are treated to a series of drawings of Pre-School, Kindergarten or at its best, Grade 1 simplicity.  You can really understand the assholes as if they are conversing with you in plain fucking baby talk.  Bull fucking shit!  But wait!

 

The daring heading of the page is Modified Philippine Public Storm Warning Signals.

 

The FAG ASS AH A proceeds to explain in simple, farmerly, peasantly, fisherfolkly, urban poorly terms what the twigs and branches do when a typhoon blows over their little asses.  Then they have this quaint little home page.  Again, like Phi(bble)(Jo)kes, there is that teeny, tiny, weeny map (connected to brain dwarfism or mental nanism) syndrome again.

 

Now, people, ladies and gentlemen, relatives, friends, and lovers, this is not a joking blog post.

 

This is serious business.  Why do we have these holy mysteries being perpetrated by DND, NDCC, OCD (Office of Civil [It] Depens), DOTC, DOST, PHIVOLCS, PAG-ASA and all their fucking allied agencies?

 

Why not help us all be informed properly about disasters waiting to erupt in our midsts?

 

For instance, is it a shame to admit that Rey Punongbayan took the super secret of the Marikina – University of the Philippines at Diliman – Pasig internal earthquake fault line to his grave?

 

Imagine the United Nations or World Bank funding that fucking research just to flush out the fault lines in the Philippines and all we are being given is a fucking teeny, tiny, weeny shamefully small pixeled image of the earthquake hazard map of the country that cannot even be used decently in any presentation!

 

On the part of the DND, NDCC, OCD, DOTC, they have all the great maps in their possession.

 

They do not need to show the intelligence secrets in some of the maps they prepare!  Damnit!!!

 

All they need to show, are maps that the NAMRIA, DND-AFP and DOTC-PCG already have that could be usable for public consumption and these are easily digitized by passing them over a flatbed scanner, about the size of a coffin.  Hopefully, their own coffin as well.  Nothing really needs to be compromised!  You shits, you!!!

 

And the PAG-ASA, what Modified fucking bull is it talking about?  We are far from having a real localized, much more national public warning system for storms and whatever.  What modified are they talking about?

 

And the Department of Environment and Natural Resources — DENR under Sec. Jose Atienza is doing no better.  Do we have an environmental hazard map?  DENR through NAMRIA has been spending a lot for Geographic Information Systems along with the Land Registration Authority or LRA.  Do we have a decent hazard map of potential nature flashpoints?  With the global warming plague coming, is DENR properly addressing the threats?

 

It is the National Science Week for (f_g) christ’s sake!  Are there going to be no policy statements that will be made about our bline ness and blayt?  God almighty!!!  And the bishops and priests are doing the political salsa, salsa, salsa but not moving the concerned to look after our real welfare!!!  The Shits!!!

 

And look at the Protestants, led by chief justice!  Susmaryosep!!! What are all these idiots doing?

 

No wonder, the Suspicious Lines was blaming, in the same breath, GOD, (daw) and PAGASA.

 

I would not mind putting the blame on PAGASA for the oil price hike, the collapsation and near drowning of Joe Perez a/k/a Joe De Venecia in the muddy canals of Qatar, the kidnapping and carnal re awakening of Ces Drilon, Homobono Adaza arrest, the foiled attempt of the Adaza-Fortun-Mapalo-Cardeño-Amboy-Peña gang to assassinate the Filipino partners of the japon client of Fortun to blame the japon and make him vomit a happily tremendous load of shit dirty money, the kuno-kuno kudeta so the arrest and detention will justifiably be inane and inadequate, the earthquake in china, the terrorism against the Beijing Olympics by the Tibetans, etcetera, etcetera, the emerging dementia of the chief justice of the supreme court, and so many other things so pervading in the air.

 

And DOST, what in hell is it doing wallowing in total shitty surroundings and working conditions in Bicutan, Taguig and not requesting for better funding and better facilities and not writing project proposals for grants to people like Filipino Fr. Dan Ceballos in Europe (can be contacted through the Catholic Church and the Catholic communications center in Sta. Mesa), who could push huge, enormous amounts of money in foreign currencies to build laboratories, buy equipment, materials, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.  For fucking love of god!  DOST cannot even buy a decent electric fan in its ground floor laboratory!  No wonder it cannot dish out good technologies because barely little of its money goes into decent spending.  It can’t even print a decent map of the Philippines and its earthquake faults and this Brazilian nincompoop’s warning about a July 18,2008 disaster keeps everyone awake, alive, dreamy, suddenly bereft and deprived of morning and evening sex, frustrated about the missing first million, angst-ridden, suffering from ear pain, tooth ache, stomach cramps, back aches, arthritis, gout, high blood, murmuring heart, syphilis, gonorrhea, AIDS, HIV, SARS, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Susmaryosep! Susmaryosep …  Talaga!!!  Tanga!!!

 

So we are a people meandering in abject darkness, divested of our supreme natural right to be informed citizens of the Republic, our Chief Justice is traipsing all around about EJK, EJK, EJK kuno, susmaryosep!!!  And we  will all be swept by the genocide of nature in magnitude greater than suspicious lines’ murderings and mass assassination, as DOST jet-setting wannabes are schlepping all over the globe and hopping from one fancy hotel and restaurant to another in the guise of Technology Quest, Technology Coordination, Technology Research, Technology Design, Technology Development, Scientific Endeavors, and all that ersatz!  And all we get to be shown are small pixels of pictures that are put to total and absolute shame by the sleazy FHM Magazine of the Gokongweis!!!

 

Por dios por santo!!!

 

Totally, an unwonderful world, pardon the pun Mr. James Morrison.

 

In the next nine to ten days prior to July 18, if the Brazilian crazy’s earthshaking predictions will prove to be right after all, what are we to do?  We shall lie in languor and await our dire fortunes.  The Corinthian Gardeners will humbly exercise their patience to lead themselves to their own extinction, and we will fall after them if they grasp our toes, hair, edge of our shirts, pants, skirts, socks, shoes, boots, fingers, panties, bras, tampons, condoms, IUDs, noses, ears, mouths, penises, pubic hairs, vaginas, rectums, eyes, or in a really authentic disaster’s milieu, as favoredly announced by media always, if the Corinthian Gardeners happen to  hold on to our or a portion of intestines, livers, nerves, muscles, pelvises, spinal columns, bones …

 

Whatever.

 

Ewwwwe!!!!

The Poor, Inimitable Bono Adaza

 

 

 

 

Whoooaaaa!!!

 

I say!

 

Whoooooaaaaa!!!

 

The CIDG arrested Homobono Adaza, Sr. today.  What for?  What of?  They say a lawyer Atty. Fortun filed a case vs. the man for proposing to commit a coup d’ etat!

 

They also arrested Lt. Col. Oscarlito Mapalo Palo, as well as Lt. Col. Rafael Cardeño for planting a piece of metal into the back of the head of the vaunted Calf Teyn Servant Es.

 

For God’s sake!  Bono had been debating all his life about the need for a revolution like a raving lunatic and it just happened that this particular revolution that he was debating about was directed against Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

 

What’s wrong with that?  Well, perhaps what makes it wrong is Oscarlito Mapalo Palo, whom the praetorian guards of the Kingdom will never ever like at all.

 

What media says is that the poor Labandera’s Mapalo Palo was so thick with another officer, The Feared One, Col. Allen Capuy Puyan, who was said to have ordered the  wire  tapping  of  the  mobile  cellular  phone  of  Madame Gloria in  the  presidential campaign  and canvassing  for the  2004  elections that led to the Garcillano controversy.  Hmmmmm……

 

Capuy Puyan also was implicated in the planned secret smuggling of high powered guns to be purchased from Vietnam into the country through South Korea, possibly via the southern backdoor.

 

Who was their sponsor?  Well, don’t ask.  It might get you into a lot of trouble.  A colonel named Camagay Gay, whose house was rented for a hundred years by guess, who, Dinky Soliman, Karina David, and the anti-GMA tomboy fans of Madam Coritas Aquino, etcetera was the one negotiating in Seoul for the purchase of the heavy duty guns.

 

So now Bono too is implicated with them.  Poor man.

 

After keeping in his heart that post-victory plan for the revolution of The Horseman, The John Pons En Rilley and The Gringo nearly centuries ago he could not bear not to see the plan get implemented.

 

But I remember him saying “Whoooaaa!!!”, one time, too though.

 

He was looking at a picture.  It was a very quaint picture about a lady smiling to everyone from her perch at a table in an elegant, antique hotel’s function room.  Miss Maricor Imperial of the Friends of Ramos, at the time, Director at Malacañang.  The function was absolutely over and for the photo op, pictures were being taken by that function’s hired photog or photogs (if there was more than one of them).

 

In one of the pictures, incumbent president, Man With A Giant Cigar, was smiling into the lens of the photog’s camera, beside Perched Lady.

 

But caught by another lens is the hand, uhurrmmm, The Hand, of the Incumbent President, mining into the place between the legs of the Perched Lady.

 

Bono said, Whoooaaaa!!!!!!  He was still on his toes at the time and could tell what a really fun picture was and what wasn’t.

 

After running around all over helping a lot of people, including that truly fake and fucking despicable Don Esteban Benitez Tallano (Who He?) who has been forging, fraudulently manufacturing too many historical and Court documents (aren’t the thefts at the National Historical Institute related to him one way or the other?) has Bono lost it?

 

Is it just because he is an incorrigible Dreamer?  Naïve?  He was taken with a DILG freak group that was mouthing Libyan Revolution in the Philippines!  For the love of God!!!  And under of the noses of Angelo Reyes, Ronaldo Puno, shit!  That group of idiots took Bono in their tight circle and made him dig a tunnel into the nest of the group of Erap.  Their group and Erap’s almost made a blood compact!  Except that someone did not like blood with a lot of Johnny Walker Blue in it, just because his brand might have been rum, or red wine or whiskey instead.

 

I hope not.  But his arrest is unkind and unnecessary.  A nuisance is nuisance is a nuisance.  But if especially, that nuisance is a candidate for dementia (unless he takes those memory enhancer pills from China and rams a hundred Vitamin E pills into his throat and drinks Goji Juice from Nepal, is it?, and gets drunk with alkaline water, and eats a ton of asparagus, and drinks so much carrot juice, eats taho, etcetera, etcetera), then it is sad that they have to take Bono in.

 

I hope that they release him.  Anyway, they get to keep Osquee Mapalo Palo, and they can always keep Lt. Col. Cardeño.

 

And for good measure, they can also run after Capuy Puyan, Camagay Gay, Dinky Soliman, Coritas Aquino, and all the rest of the ABS-CBN, Gokongwei, Sulpicio Lines relatives, friends, colleagues, classmates, neighbors, etcetera, etcetera.

 

But the poor Bono should be left alone.  He is in the 70s range for God’s sake.  General Fortunato Abat had to be allowed to ride his wheel chair home after being a captive for a few minutes because when he smiled, he looked like a really grand, kind and loving grandfather, which is what he really is after all.  Except that, like Grandpa Bono, these septuagenarians keep going with bad company.

 

Let Bono be.

 

Otherwise, as inimitable as he can be, there might be many Bonos that the Arroyos have to deal with in the coming days.

 

Imagine a hundred like him raving and ranting like lunatics?  Who knows how many might be their followers?  Well, Pro-Bonos.  Anyone?

 

Hmmmmm….
