The arroyo govt is responsible for all the suffering of the poor. She should stop talking about con-ass. She has more better priorities to act upon like supporting peoples struggles, supporting livelihood projects, supporting the teachers, workers, peasants, etc…She does not need to appoint those retired military personnels to do her job. I mean, the govt itself is already in and within the local zones, and we call them Sangguniang kabataan. If there is a fund, just allocate those funds in the local barrios or barrio zones. After all, arroyo herself is the leader of the country. That if anything goes wrong, she is accountable for it. With regards to the abduction of Roxas, it was very clear that they took her to camp fort magsaysay. It is so upsetting that the police do not investigate the army for all their judicial killings and ubductions. The local police should realize that they are more powerful than these army men. Now that the govt officials declared that they know any of this incident, and now that the local police admitted that there was actually an abduction incident, all concerned citizens should now ask these govt officials about their lying habits? They should be ashamed for lying and they should be dismissed from their jobs as so called public servants. For arroyo herself, she must fire all her lying cohorts and because she is one of them, she must also resign as a leader. She should resign because the Philippine setting is getting worst and not getting any better. Mellisa Roxas case is a unique tragedy because she stayed strong and stand for her rights and determined to stay alive. We all must admire Mellisa Roxas for her first hand brutal and violent exprerience about the atrocities of the phil army. We all must thank her for her pride and dignity for preserving her integrity despite the mental and physical torture that she received for speaking the truth. Mellisa truly is a saint and a hero for all of us. We must then pursue this arroyo govt and all her lying cohorts to answer the victims and their families for all the abductions and extra judicial killings in the entire philippines.

Looks like the military is bored because thery have nothing to do. Maybe they should be sent into Iraq or other war zone to get some exercise.
