This is the highest kind of blunder ever committed by the Philippine government to its citizens. At first, when I read the news that 34 battleships of the Philippine Navy were stationed in the country's southern tip to form a naval blockade to support the Malaysian navy likewise stationed in the area I was already entertaining some hard questions in mind especially when it was reported to have intercepted 60 Filipino Tausugs on their way to Sabah to help our brother Filipinos in Sabah who, we were told, some were indiscriminately shot like stray dogs by Malaysian police. Rampant report of maltreatment to Filipinos already residing there to work for quite sometime as a result of the recent surge of atrocities believed as aftermath of the news about the men belonging to Sultan J amalul Kiram III, as the rightful successor to the Sultanate of Sulu and sent to Sabah to reclaim it, being relentlessly subjected to Malaysian air and ground attacks of its military forces were heavily routed in a lopsided kind of battle comparable to an analogy that a certain group using "slingshots" are pitted against the Malaysian army fully armed with lethal tools of destruction. And this latest news portraying some of our brother Filipinos "luckily" escaping from sure "extermination" in the Sabah firefight numbering thirty five of them including a woman and all of them being arrested by our own soldiers manning our Philippine Navy battleships, is to me the height of stupedity! Where can you find a country where instead of extending the necessary assistance to the horrible plight of their citizens are now acting as "jailers" on behalf of the Malaysian government. Since President Noynoy's assumption to power in 2010 I was all the way "sold out" to his sound leadership i n purgin g the government of the corrupt officials who comprised the majority of GMA's officialdom. I even personally sent him a letter addressed in Malacanang congratulating him of his landslide victory as a manifestation that the people's will prevailed in rejecting the 9 years of GMA's reign. Even in his fight against the GMA appointed CJ Corona, I was there solidly backing his meaningful crusade of good government. But sad to say, I don't know, if President Noynoy is having the full command of his leadership faculties to have so "poorly" addressed the present situation in connection with our "Sabah claim" to the extent that our Filipino brothers who escaped the "pangs of death" at the hands of the merciless Malaysian authorities are now intercepted at sea by our own military authorities and threatened with court charges by the DOJ which are unimaginable to be done as ordered by the present leadership of President Noynoy.

Do you think Pnoy was right in going after Corona? The hell no, it again for preserving his Hacienda Luisita which is questionably being distributed by now.
