Well, the crisis is finally over. The rebel soldiers have agreed to stand down. I’m glad it didn’t end in bloodshed.

we don’t know everything about that event.Some of my sources indicate that the rebels causes were legitimate and true, but they didnt have enough proof. I started to hate the Magdalo group on sunday Morning, ut as I discovered the truth behind it, hate turned to sympathy. I wish I could tell you the whole story without endangering my sources. And about the conspiracy-theory like accusations, you know enough of this country to know that anything is possible. There’s no such thing as an impossible, improbable or illogical event or motive in the Philippines. Again, I wish I could tell you all.Keep up your search for the truth and your personal honesty in this blog. You’ll hear more from me.

from what i picked up, davao was at least in generality… contrived. that’s all what can be said about it for now.
the magdalo group may have staged what a reporter has described as “the biggest and most expensive gripe session,” but the things that they have griped about had… more than a grain.

nice name, and thanks for the agreement. It turns out that the group is larger than we were told, and some are still in place in case the results of the 2004 election should put an actor, druglord/politician, Marcos crony/businessman into power. should either of the three take power, I and a lot of people I know will join the Magdalo group. That’s the REAL reson they organized. I don’t know why the Honasan faction within Magdalo acted as it did, but a lot of the other Magdalo-ans do not agree with them.
When the time comes, all Filipinos must choose a side. Fence-sitting never did this country any good.
:). See you on the streets.
