Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

  • Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
  • Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:
  1. The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
  2. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

History of Marinduque, Philippines

Note: This history line is from the LGU of Marinduque:

When Martin de Goiti and Juan de Salcedo, two Spanish conquistadores, returned to the Philippine islands in 1569, and conquered Manila, they stayed on to establish other settlements in the region.

Marinduque, together with Mindoro, the southeast part of Laguna and Camarines was made a part of Batangas when the latter was founded in 1581 by the Spaniards. (Balayan was the capital from 1597-1732; Taal, earlier known as Bonbon, in 1732; then Batangas (the present city) in 1754).

Early in the 17th century, the island of Marinduque was separated from Batangas and became a part of Mindoro as a corregimiento, town. In 1671 Marinduque functioned as a province but was later reduced as a Mindoro sub-province.

On April 28, 1898, with the overthrow of the last Spanish casadores (Tagalog soldiers) after armed conflict and hostilities with the revolutionists during the Philippine-Spanish War, Marinduque declared its separation from Mindoro and from Spanish rule, a move that was ratified by the ruling class from the different towns of the island-province. The local struggle was led by Martin Lardizabal, who was military governor of Marinduque's first revolutionary provincial government.

The first major victory of the Filipinos during the second phase of the Philippine revolution (the Filipino-American War) in Marinduque (1900-1901), occurred at the Battle of Pulang Lupa (Torrijos), when local forces led by Col. Maximo Abad defeated the American contingent under the command of Capt. Deverieux Shields. (The said battle was considered one of the most dramatic reversals the Americans suffered during the war with the Philippines).

Recovered by a joint team of National Museum and private foreign salvage group were numerous porcelain plates, jars, skillets and others. On the third islet of Baltazar, is an underwater cave on its eastern part 60 to 90 feet deep. Wall drift diving is at its best early in the morning where variety of coral and some pelagic fishes would be clearly visible.. Occasional schools of hammerhead sharks pass the western depths of the islets. An American built lighthouse still stands and still working on the center of the islet. Gaspar also has an elongated sand bar that is best for family picnics and swimming, a funeral grotto used by pre-Hispanic Filipinos complete with human bones and shards of potteries on the east and some secluded white sand beaches on the south.

Festivals, Fiestas and Traditions of Marinduque, Philippines

Every city or municipality has some sort of a festival or tradition that is celebrated every year. In the Philippines almost all barangays that are predominantly populated by Christians celebrate fiesta. Tell us about the festivals, fiestas and traditions of Marinduque. ---

Below is a list derived from the LGU of Marinduque:
  • MORIONES - The "Moriones" are men and women in costumes and masks replicating the garb of biblical Roman soldiers as interpreted by local folks. The term "moriones" was concocted by the media in the 60s, but local inhabitants have kept the original term, "Moryonan".
Many practitioners are farmers and fishermen who engage in this age-old tradition as a vow of penance or thanksgiving. Morions roam the streets in town from Holy Monday to Easter Sunday scaring the kids, or engaging in antics or surprises to draw attention.
This street theater reaches its climax on Easter Sunday with the mock beheading of Longinus, the play's central figure. Over time, with increased commercialization and political influence or control coming into the picture, the Moriones tradition appears to have lost its appeal to foreign tourists but continues to delight natives coming home for the weeklong Lenten holidays. The Moriones or Moryonan tradition inspired the creation of other festivals in the Philippines where cultural practices or folk history are turned into street festivals. It will thus remain a unique tradition Marinduqueños will keep nurturing as a symbol of their identity.
  • PUTONG - "Putong" is a traditional song-and-dance ritual performed by local folks as an expression of thanksgiving. Some versions could be traced from lines of the "Pasyon", the poetic narrative in Tagalog of the Passion of Christ that became popular here before the turn of the last century. "Putong" remains popular as a ritual that promotes good health, prosperity and success, and as a welcome ritual to honor visitors and guests to the island.
"Putong" (also called "Tubong" in some parts of the island), involves crowning the honoree with flowers or gaily-decorated crowns. The honoree is then handed a scepter of palm leaves to symbolize power. Coins are then tossed up in the air for luck; a shower of petals and leaves follows for good health amid shouts of "Viva!" or "Mabuhay!" Fiesta food (with the ever-present "pansit" noodles), and drinks (such as "tuba", coconut wine), are then served to everyone present.
  • KALUTANG - A small group of farmers and fisherfolks in Bangbang, a village in the town of Gasan appears to have been the first to introduce a Kalutang Band. "Kalutangs" are pairs of wood which when struck together produce notes of unique tonal quality. Only two to three notes may be produced by a pair of kalutang, such that intense focus and native discipline are required to enable each player to bang his kalutang at the right time to produce music ranging from folk to pop. The musical sound they make never fails to amaze listeners.
To ensure that their musical skills are handed down to the younger generation, elementary school kids in parts of Gasan are taught by the Bangbang kalutang masters. While kalutang has been associated with Morions of old who used the same instruments to produce a mere cacophony of sounds, it is believed to have been once part of Mangyan culture.

Kaya Iloilo sweeps Group B in Copa '21

MANILA – Kaya Iloilo pipped Mendiola with a 6-0 beating on Wednesday night to complete a sweep of Group B action in the Copa Paulino Alcantara at the PFF National Training Centre in Carmona.

A Jovin Bedic brace in the first half set the tone for the inaugural tournament champ even as the club netted three goals in each of the two halves to seal the top seed in its group ahead of the semifinals next week.

Bedic capitalized on an erroneous Mendiola attempt to keep the ball out of his reach and quickly raced inside the penalty box to open the scoring for Kaya Iloilo in the 11th minute.

NPC: Resolve Doc Gerry murder, now!

by People's Tonight


THE National Press Club headed by its president, Jerry S. Yap, yesterday condemned anew the unresolved murder of broadcaster Dr. Gerry “Doc Gerry” Ortega. In a statement, the NPC noted the number of press men killed under the present administration. The statement reads:

A year has passed since the heinous act of murdering broadcaster Dr. Gerry “Doc Gerry” Ortega but the case against the suspected brains remains unresolved.

By the rate and quality the DOJ performs its job the National Press Club sees more delays that will exceedingly disgust the conscience of the Liberty of the Press, of the journalists, of the people of Palawan, of the family of the victim, and of justice.

Already, the number of the press men killed has risen to 12 under the administration of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III.

The last of those murdered, broadcaster and Tatak Bigtime News publisher Christopher Guarin, was killed in General Santos City last January 5 or 44 days after another journalist, Alfredo “Dodong” Velarde Jr. of Brigada News Philippines, was slain on November 11 in the same city.

What is good in Doc Gerry’s case is that the gunman was arrested immediately after the shooting incident for it accidentally happened that the fireman driving a firetruck was passing by an “ukay-ukay” store in Puerto Princesa City where the killing occurred on January 24, 2011. But what is bad is the same as in all other cases of slaying: the brains have remained unpunished and unidentified.

Last June, the National Press Club expressed strong dissent about the resolution rendered by a panel of prosecutors of the Department of Justice (DOJ) where it absolved big suspects in the persons of former governors Joel T. Reyes of Palawan and Jose Antonio Carreon of Marinduque, of former Palawan administrator Romeo Serratubias, and of Mayor Mario Reyes of the town of Coron in Palawan.

In the press statement released by the NPC on June 15, 2011, it expressed its sentiment that the DOJ panel arrogated unto itself the discretion that belongs to the court -- the reason killing of journalists never sleeps.

The DOJ unreasonably absolved the suspected brains despite the fact they were positively identified by the persons who confessed to have arranged for the killing: Rodolfo Edrad Jr., alias “Jun Bomar,” who was the close aide of ex-governor Carreon, Armando Noel, Dennis Aranas and Arwin Arandia.

The confession was not admitted by the DOJ as a justification to charge the brains as principals by inducement, insisting there was no other evidence of conspiracy other than the confession of Bumar.

The Club pointed out that the job of the DOJ is only to determine whether there is sufficient probability that the ex-governors and others are likely the masterminds behind the murder of radioman Doctor Gerry Ortega last January 24 in Puerto Princesa City.

It is the job of the court to determine in the full-blown trial whether the confessions can be accepted or not or whether there are evidence that are independent of the confessions to prove first conspiracy.

The NPC insisted then that in determining probability or “probable cause” in legal parlance, the DOJ has no power to absolve. Its power is only to say whether there is sufficient probability to warrant a sacrifice of the presumption of innocence of those being charged to ensure that those charged are not unduly prejudiced by the warrant, detention, trial, and attorney’s fees.

The DOJ panel that absolved the respondents was composed of Senior Assistant State Prosecutor Edwin Dayog, Assistant State Prosecutor Bryan Jacinto Cacha and Atty. John Benedict Medina.

The evidence presented by the police investigators to the National Press Club are sufficient to say that the suspected brains are likely guilty.

First, extrajudicial confession of Rodolfo “Jun Bomar” Edrad Jr. as the aide of the former Marinduque governor.

Edrad confessed he was asked by ex-governor Reyes and ex-governor Carreon to plot the murder of Ortega by using hired guns from Quezon province because using triggermen known in Palawan is risky to discovery.

Edrad said he took in Armando Noel, Dennis Aranas, Arwin Arandia and the gunman identified as Marlon Recamata Dichaves.

He also said he procured a gun right in Puerto Princesa because it was too risky to bring gun on the plane to the city.

Edrad said he contacted Arturo Regalado and Percival Lecias who were close aides of former governor Reyes to procure for him a gun.

Second, there is also this testimony of Regalado that said he contacted to by Edrad to procure the gun and that he secured the gun from Atty. Serratubias and this testimony is an evidence of conspiracy separate or independent from the testimony of Edrad.

Regalado said Edrad sent him money for the buying of the gun through a remittance agency and there are receipts showing the remittances to buy gun and “for the boys.”

Third, there is this defense of Serratubias that the gun was his but that it was bought from him. To prove the fact of sale, Serratubias presented a yellow paper showing it is an acknowledgment receipt of payment for the gun.

Serratubias did not present any notarized deed of absolute sale of the gun that was licensed to him.

The yellow paper receipt, the admission that the gun belonged to him and the lack of notarized deed of absolute sale are all separate and independent pieces of evidence of involvement of Serratubias in the conspiracy to kill Ortega.

This is because it is unthinkable that a lawyer will not secure a sale with a deed of absolute sale that is notarized.

The fact that Serratubias was too close to ex-governor Reyes because the lawyer was Reyes’ provincial administrator during his terms as governor of Palawan also constitutes a separate piece of evidence proving him as the “missing link” between Edrad and Reyes.

The evidence of closeness is a separate evidence of conspiracy.

Fourth, there is also this proof showing the two ex-governors are close buddies in business and leisure.

Carreon is the contractor of all Palawan projects funding by funds out of Malampaya natural gas operations.

He and Reyes are often seen in casinos as buddies.

The projects are distributed to all towns of Palawan, including the reclamation port area of the town of Coron where Mario Reyes, the son of Reyes, is the incumbent third-termer mayor.

Fifth, there is also this proof consisting of a CCTV video footage taken a couple of days before the shooting of Ortega occurred.

This video shows Dichavez waiting for the arrival of Ortega for three hours, shows him making six attempts to cross the road and finally crossing over the street where the “ukay-ukay” store was because Ortega went inside that store to buy clothes immediately after arriving from his morning radio program, and shows Dichavez emerging out of the “ukay-ukay” store and running on the road away from the crime scene, shows the passing fire truck making a chase for Dichavez.

This video footage makes up for the proof that there was no reasonable doubt that Dichavez was the one who actually shot Ortega dead.

Sixth, there is also this proof that the fireman who was driving the firetruck saw Dichavez throwing the gun on a garbage container and that the fireman recovered the gun whose make and serial number point to Serratubias as the owner.

This is another independent piece of evidence showing the complicity of Serratubias to the conspiracy to murder Ortega.

For instance, it was unlikely that a gunman who was escaping would throw away the only weapon that he would use in defense, unless there was an earlier plan or plot to throw it away to avoid discovery that it belonged to Serratubias.

Seventh, the proof that Dichavez came from a town in Quezon province where Edrad was a resident constitutes an independent proof to support the theory of the close connection between them and the others.

Eighth, the proof that Dichavez, Noel, Aranas and Arandia were together in going to Puerto Princesa as shown by a CCTV video focusing on the exit gate of the Puerto Princesa International Airport.

This constitutes a distinct and separate evidence of conspiracy among them.

Ninth, the broadcasts of Ortega show that the main subject of his criticisms is ex-governor Reyes on the mining permits issued with the intercession of the provincial government and on the funds shared to Palawan out of the revenue from the utilization of Malampaya natural gas field.

This is a separate piece of evidence of motive of hate by the ex-governor against Ortega.

Tenth, other evidence separate and distinct from the extrajudicial confession of Edrad were also presented.

A look at these pieces of evidence, the NPC strongly insists that the DOJ is wrong in absolving the suspected brains.

Specifically, it erred in stating that aside from the extrajudicial confession there was no other piece of evidence separate and distinct to prove “sufficient probability” that ex-governors Reyes and Carreon and Atty. Serratubias were the brains behind the murder of Ortega.

To repeat, the issue here is only probability, not proof of reasonable doubt.

So that the prudent thing to do should be to approve the indictment of the ex-governors and the lawyer and let the full-blown trial begin and let the Court decide.

There could have been no suspicion if those who were placed as investigators are the people’s representatives acting as an inquest jury under the Grand Jury System.

The system of prosecutors being the one deciding who should be accused has long been abused using “probable cause” in the manner they wished.

As proven by the performances of the prosecutors deciding who should be charged, the acts of killing journalists will never stop.

This is the reason that the NPC is supporting the proposal to establish the jury system in place of the present rotten mechanism abused for more than a century by lords of politics, drugs, sex and gambling.
