The survival of Don
Abrasado, the aide-de-camp of Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse
Robredo, in the crash of the plane they were in raises a lot of questions.
Reports said according to Abrazado, one
of the plane’s wings broke when they were about 100 feet from the ground. That
means there were still a few seconds, if not a minute or so, for him and
Robredo to try and jump out of the plane.
Did he exert any effort to save Robredo? If yes, what? If no, why
not? As aide-de-camp, he was either right beside the secretary or directly
behind him.
Did he try to drag Robredo, or push him, out of the plane?
What prevented Robredo from jumping off the plane after him,
assuming that Abrazado had indeed escaped before it crashed? What was Robredo’s
condition -- immobilized, pinned ,trapped?
How exactly did Abrazado get off the plane? Some reports say he
was thrown out as the aircraft plowed into the water. Others say he was near
the door so he was able to escape.
Did
the plane have life-vests? If yes, did Abrazado and Robredo manage to wear any
before the plane plunged into the water?
There
were also reports that according to Abrazado, the
plane was split in half when it crashed at around 4:30 p.m.
How far was he from the plane? Did he see Robredo? Did he make any effort to follow the plane
under the water? If he will say that his injured arm prevented him from moving,
how did it get fractured?
Was
the plane checked and certified as safe before it was used by the secretary? If
yes, by whom? If it wasn’t checked, who allowed it to fly? Who persuaded
Robredo to use it just the same?
Until
questions like these are answered no one should prejudge what had actually
happened, especially if there’s no physical evidence. Whoever uses this tragedy
for political propaganda must be crucified.
I
am with the people in praying fr the survival of Robredo and the other missing
passengers of the plane.

KASAMA ANG GOBYERNO NI PNOY!
FE ALBURO
Saan ba galing ang sobrang galit ni Pnoy kay
GMA? Hanggang ngayon, hindi ko maintindihan. Dapat nga mas magalit pa siya kay
Enrile at Honasan dahil muntik na siyang mamatay noong 1989 nang nag kudeta ang
grupo ni Honasan. Si GMA, wala namang ginawa sa kanila na karahasan o pangaapi.
Kung pomabor man si GMA sa land distribution ng HL, yun ay naayon sa batas at
para na rin sa kapakanan ng mga farmers

How can you deal with
an idiot like Abnoy? You’re not dealing with reason and rational thinking. You’re
dealing with hate, vendetta, obsession, tantrums, and deep immaturity.

Sige lang, Abnoy! Ituloy
mo lang yang kagaguhan mo! Pero once may mangyaring di maganda kay GMA, humanda
ka, hayup kah!

This is inhuman, indeed. But where was GMA
when millions upon millions of Filipinos suffered during her time? Did she even
care at all about the plight of the masses? I do not agree with the Aquino
government's stance on the matter but on the other hand, why should the people
care either?
NORY HONRADA
Ubod talaga sa kademonyohan yang Penoy na yan.
Sana , tamaan
siya ng kidlat anumang oras,ano mang araw simula ngayon..
ROMBLON WRITER
Marami ring ganyang kaso sa panahon ni GMA, pero hindi siya masama. In fairness kay GMA, pero hindi in
fairness sa ibang tao? Partisan politics and fanaticism do not go well with
logic.
CHRISTINE PORCIUNCULA of Valenzuela City
I'm not surprised at what Panot and his gang
are doing. They as vindictive as they come and nothing good will ever come out
of it.
LUZ IMELDA MACARAEG of Moncada, Tarlac
In war and in peace,
whether ally or foe, every human being or even every beastly-human being has
his/her inalienable rights.. Let not narrow-mindedness, prejudice or bigotry
dominate. In our basic Christian doctrine, there is no compromise when it comes
to taking the high road.

Sobra ng sama at
nakakasuka na!
BOBBY BERMEO
Agree.

Hindi galit iyan kundi yabang.
SIEGFRIED MITRA
Magtigil mga ang mga dilaw na yan. Bakit si Ninoy
pinayagan ni Marcos pagamot sa ibang bansa. Gusto lang nila mamatay si GMA kaya
nila yan ginagawa.
GO AHEAD, MAKE A MARTYR OUT OF GMA!
THELMA CARPENTER
I don't want to talk about Marcos, for
everything now seems hazy and it's too long ago. What's important is NOW! If
Penoy wants PGMA to be a hero, he is digging his own grave. NOW is the time for
us Filipinos to do something about it. Do something and stand and unite in whatever
is necessary.
SUSPEND CARABUENA’S LICENSE, INDEFINITELY!
JOE ALVARADO of Makati
The report that Carabuena was suspended by Philip
Morris is doubtful. 30
