Retired Philippine cop appeals to Duterte for justice after ‘innocent’ son killed amid drug war
In letter that has gone viral, father threatens to find killers of 21-year-old son who was gunned down in the street

Retired police intelligence officer Alfredo Jebulan, 64, is used to investigating violent deaths. Over the weekend, he suddenly found himself trying to make sense of the gangland style execution of his fifth and youngest child Yani in Antipolo, Rizal, northeast of Manila.
At first he thought the 21-year-old psychology student was shot only once after drinking with friends to celebrate passing midterm exams.
An autopsy revealed Yani was shot twice on the chest, once on the side, “and the finishing touch was on the head,” Jebulan calmly told South China Morning Post.
It’s the same calm voice he must have used as a police officer discussing with strangers the death of their loved ones.

ang sinungaling ay kapatid ng magnanakaw, ang kapal naman ng lubag ng magnanakaw na ‘to. he is to be given soldier’s burial next to the late presidents carlos garcia at elpidio quirino. nagnakaw ng medal of valor, dyos ko, kanino kayang medal ang nahablot nito o nabili. yong war records pa niya kagawa-gawa niya mismo, ginawang bayani ang sarili, hindi naman. traydor naman. if only the late presidents carlos garcia and elpidio quirino are both alive today, they would have raised more than eyebrows. baka sabihin pa, okay, sa yo na itong sementeryo, aalis kami.
and 9 na hukoms sa supreme court na nasilawan ng deathly ngiti ni makoy, sila yata yong pinagsabihan ni digong nuon na ang supreme court as siyang pinakakurap na institution sa buong bansa: the arroyo 8 plus one. yong siyam cannot correct the wrongs done by the faker of the medal of valor, perpetuate it instead. healing kuno. e kung ganon, dapat wala tayong national heroes dahil they only tend to commemorate and remind people the hurt and bad experiences of the past. dapat wala na tayong mga bantayog.
moonie says
1st time yata ito na ang isang effigy ay ililibing: yong wax effigy ni makoy, nakangiti pa.
after a while and many years down the track when another govt is in office, a move will be made to hukay makoy in libingan. make sure meron mortal remains and not just melted beeswax. biggest con done on the people corrected. better late than never.
moonie says
or, why wait for tomorrow what can be done today?
people like etta rosales ought to file court case, sort of hold burial order against makoy, pending investigation of his mortal remains.
kasi, when makoy died in hawaii, he was old man at medyo may edad na talaga, at halos buto’t balat na lang, his body riddled with kidney disease, liver problems and bad heart. his skin must have been blotchy, bed bound and may no longer be in control of his bowel and bladder. so much so that death comes as welcome respite.
yet, the makoy we are seeing in batac is so much younger and healthier that he cannot be the real makoy, the one who was supposed to be sick when he died. and if it’s the batac makoy that will get buried in libingan, etta rosales and the likes of her ought to have it examined to ascertain the real makoy is in there somehow. if not, imeldefect has to produce the real makoy for the real burial.
after all and technically speaking, supreme court okayed the burial of makoy, not the burial of an understudy.

SC decision to bury Marcos in LNMB will be a catalyst for DU30’s swift ouster
The majority of SC Justices were appointed by Gloria. In the last elections, Gloria bet on Du30 for her freedom, thus the change in the tone of SC regarding Marcos’ burial issue.
With Aquino out of the picture, Du30’s pro Marcos stance and as payback for Marcos Family’s financial support during the last presidential campaign, and Du30 openly backing Bongbong, it was only a matter of time that the Marcoses will get what they want, or as we say Quids(Pound Currency) pro Coup (as Marcos symbol for Dictatorship).
With Du30’s waning popularity through his EJK’s and now that the Senators are alarmed how blatant and brutal Du30 is in dealing with his enemies, there is now cracks in Du30’s coalition. With the Military divided on the issue of releasing the Communists and ever strong presence of the former enemies of the State in Du30’s inner circle from the Reds, MNLF, MILF, and the Marcos Loyalists, it is only a matter of time that a formidable opposition will rise against Du30.
With pending Hillary’s win as the new President of The United States of America, there will surely be a thrust to oust Du30 with the help of the Americans, since the US will not sit by doing nothing when Du30 is handing to China the strategic contested territories vital to US interests.
SC decision to allow the burial of Marcos in the Libingan ng mga Bayani smacks betrayal of Public Trust and as a veiled absolution of Marcos’ Crimes against the Filipino People!
It is portentous of great strife that will be unleashed. Now the lines are drawn and those who supported Du30 but hated the Marcoses will surely have buyer’s remorse.
Du30 is unwittingly destroying our country because of his megalomania. He does not give a hoot about human rights and democracy as long as he gets what he wants. He takes no prisoners, literally, and the Filipino People should be wary of our own safety and economic situation for these are the two important issues which Du30 does not know how to deal with.
Du30 already sold to the Marcoses the sacrifice and blood of those who perished during the Martial Rule. Du30 sold to the Chinese our Territories! Du30 did not give a damn about his supporters whom he sold out by executing most of them and they are the very first victims of Du30’s ineptness in handling the economy.
One thing Du30 could not sell is our soul as Filipinos.
We have to rise up and right the wrongs and disaster that Du30 imposed upon us. SC must be dissolved. The co-opted House and the Senate must go!
And most importantly for our survival, Du30 must go!

Just asking …
Is this country still named “Republic of the Philippines”? or is it “Republic ni Duterte”?
has the ought being recited to pledge allegiance to the country or just to ONE MAN Alone?
Madlanglupa says
More like becoming “Marcoslandia”.
Kamote Procopio says
Or like “Maharlika” just the way the corrupt Marcoses wanted it then.

You and I can exchange our condolences and sympathies to each other for this blackest day and days to come that our High Court allowed FM to be buried at the LMB cemetery.
May the wax melts along the fiery hot routes to the LMB cemetery if it is the wax. If not the wax, the corpse will be brought and buried in the dead of the night by helicopter from iLocandia land.

netty says
It is likened to the death march in 1942, but this time it is of a dead body of a fallen dictator president in all its glory brought by participants to his resting place as the other half of the millions of Filipinos are forced to watched the display.
I believed the tenacity and temperament of the Pinoys are truly tested in this remarkable times. The killings and the burial are all very symbolic of the values and the disposition of the citizens of the events in the country thereby they are now viewing good vs.. evil while exercising free will.
leona says
The doors of the room of free will is now closing. . . and will be locked closed.
The nation is like it has been hit by a bullet on a vital part. It is in a state of shock. Silence. Shocking silence. If not attended to by immediate medical emergency assistance, it will die.

he, he, he, now I have good reason to visit libingan, my bottle of piss ready to bless makoy, may he not rest in pacem. I’m learning to use my tirador again, I have a stack of hulins for projectiles. time for me to be pasaway again, ah, the smell of teen spirit is strong and awakening. guards on makoy’s grave? why, wala namang road block dyan sa libingan, come one, come all, and bring your own – entertainment!
rot in your own sauce, that’s what I’ll pin on makoy’s grave, duck tape will be in vogue again, weatherproof and long lasting. tape all your messages sa grave niya. bullet casings as well, makoy knows what that meant.

With the SC decision to inter Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, the cemetery should now be renamed Libangan ng Bayan.
Teo will promote it as a tourism destination, too.
Waray waray says
The message of the SC ruling : you can steal billions, kill/murder & allow all those inhuman acts as president and you can still be considered as bayani/hero. Where is JUSTICE for all those who suffered during martial law… Justice is not only legality.. the SC justices can twist and cite all the laws and legal principles. But still there wont be any JUSTICE.
curveball says
Gusto ko lang itanong sa “pagkapanalo” na maipalibing sa LNMB si Marcos,
At ito ay matapos ang deliberasyon sa SC.
Kaya ba ganito ang desisyon ay dahil sa
1. Mahusay na nagdepensa ang panig ni Marcos?
o kaya
2. Mahina ang pagtatanggol na ginawa ng para sa pagtutol?
Dahil ang mga mahistrado ay nakinig sa magkabilang panig na pareho ipinaglaban ang kani-kanilang paniniwala na sila ay nasa tama.
o kaya
3. May pagpabor, gapangan, pananakot, pagkumbinsi or sariling interes na nanaig sa bawat isa?
Ang masasabi ko ay, malungkot ako sa nangyari nasaan na ang mga grupo na mga “makabayan” na palagi ng laman ng kalsada nuon?
The Observer says
Karamihan sa SC justices ay mga appointed ni Gloria Arroyo, at si Arroyo naman ay allied kay Duterte. So, yan ang dahilan kung bakit nanalo yong pabor sa paglibing kay diktador Marcos.
Curveball says
Kung ganuon pala palabas lang ang mga argumento at pagtatanggol ng panig laban sa paglibing?
Umpisa pa lang may pasya na sila. Usapang kanto nga ay lutong makao na
The Observer says
Ganyan din ang nangyari sa kaso ni Enrile na pinayagan siya ng SC na mag bail para makalaya siya at makaalis sa detention center sa Camp Crame ba yon. Silang grupo din ng SC judges ang nag-allow. Pareho din kay Arroyong kaso, sila din ang nag-allow na makauwi at makalaya siya. Kung tutuusin parehong plunder ang kaso ni Enrile at Arroyo. Kaya di ako nagtaka na the same group of judges favored sa paglibing kay Marcos sa LNMB. Sa umpisa pa lang ng kaso, may opinion na ako dito na papayagan ng SC si Marcos na mailibing sa LNMB. Yong bagong kaso ni De Lima against Duterte, malamang wala ring mangyayari dun. Kaya kung ang kaso ay against Duterte, Arroyo at Marcos, wag ng i-file sa SC dahil ang SC cannot be trusted habang nandyan yong mga Judges na na-appoint ni Arroyo. Mag people power na lang ang mga tao.

‘SC has just sent the message’: @drill down
From PDI news report –
5 reasons
1. did not find any grave abuse of discretion by the President.
President has always been with discretion
FM’s last wish to be buried beside his mother is not true.
2. Pres. Duterte not bound by the agreement of Pres. Ramos and the Marcos family.
3. There is no law in the Administrative Code on the cemetery plot to prohibit Marcos to be buried there.
4. SC acknowledged that Marcos did received awards, is a veteran and Medal of Valor (?), a former WW II soldier, all these satisfies the public requirement.
5. Marcos was honorably discharged, recognized as a retired veteran.
6. Marcos has not been convicted of any crimes involving moral turpitude. Civil cases filed against him has no bearing.
7. SC decision was part of national healing and reconciliation (J. Peralta).
8. Marcos should be viewed in his “totality” and not just his sins. Marcos was not pure evil either. He erred like us.
9. This burying issue is better left to history and not to this court – to adjudge.
‘ARTICLE II
Declaration of Principles and State Policies
Principles
SECTION 1. The Philippines is a democratic and republican State. Sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them.’
10. That Edsa People Power Revolution had no legal meaning “other than its obvious political consequence.”
11. Election results or protest rallies or boisterous crowd drowning is not SC’s duty to “divine” drowning the message of the silent (or silenced) majority.
12. SC as the tribunal should be guided by constitutional and legal rules not by uncertain ambiguous and confusing messages from the actions of the people.”
13. Marcos’ burial is a political issue (J. Brion) supported by the 16 million plus votes.
14. Marcos is no longer a “national damnation” as seen seen by Mr. Duterte’s victory in the election.
15. The tribunal did not pass judgment whether Marcos deserved to be buried at Libingan.
16. “Judicial restraint” by the tribunal was applied to leave “truly political” issues at the discretion of the President.
Now, how many reason do you see in the news report? Sweet Sixteen (16) reasons! Are there any other reason or reasons not reported?

No state burial for FM. . . says Gov. Imee Marcos. ‘Just an ordinary soldier’s burial.’
” Based on the directive, the Army is required to provide vigil, bugler/drummer, firing party, military host/pallbearers, escort and transportation, and arrival and departure honors,” the Army said in a statement.”
Now, it will be: No vigil. No bugler/drummer. No firing [21 gun salute]. No military host/pallbearers. No escort and transportation. No arrival and departure honors.
Only a simple soldier’s burial.

“”If the finding is that there’s nothing to prevent the President from carrying out his order or instruction for the burial to proceed, then that’s it,” Pimentel said.
However, he pointed out, there is a public clamor not to allow the burial, and so he will talk to the President and explain to him the issue and to try and convince him to reverse his instructions.
Pimentel said that if the Supreme Court gives Duterte the power to decide, it could be a window to change his mind.
“We’ll see. We will discuss it. But I will tell him that I don’t consider Marcos a hero. Hence, let us rethink the propriety of burying somebody in a place called “Libingan ng mga Bayani,” Pimentel added.”
What if Pres. Duterte again says “I was joking! T…gi kayo lahat!’
“We’ll see…” SP Pimentel.

moonie says
just a soldier’s burial kuno, pero, duda ako kung alam ni imee kung ano ba talaga ang soldier’s burial. she may say one thing, the military says another, then there is imelda to consider. I would rather makoy is swallowed by a sinkhole. best burial ever.
soldier’s burial, considering big spender is imee, si imelda for no expense barred, the soldier’s burial imee is talking about may not be our idea of soldier’s burial. it maybe lavish, attended by so many invited here and overseas, party until late complete with whole media contingent covering the glitterati and the whose who.
visitors maybe arriving by charter planes hired by imelda, full dress parade and full military gun salute, etc. rubbish thrown everywhere, graves of heroes trampled. the soldier buried between ex prez carlos garcia and elpidio quirino. egad, what kind of soldier gets buried between 2 presidents?
