As part of the military modernization project, defense and military officials have trooped to Israel to personally oversee how the Israeli missile system works.
<br /><br />
According to MaxDefense Philippines, the live-fire demonstration was participated by Israel Military Industries (IMI) and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI)-ELTA which occurred in an unannounced location in Israel.<br />
<br /><
The said live-firing was to demonstrate Israeli firms’ offer for Philippine Army’s Shore Based Missile System (SBMS) acquisition project, MaxDefense said.<br />
<br />

“Among those demonstrated were the IMI Lynx mobile launching system, the EXTRA, Accular, and Predator Hawk guided rocket systems, and smart ammunition for the 155mm howitzers, which are offered to the AFP as well,” MaxDefense said.<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A lot of opinions and views about the burial of former President Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani was shared on social media.<br /><br />But one of the best statements was from Laurie Leslie Lee Tan.<br /><br />She started about the children who were used to rally. She said that children were blinded and products of manipulation and lies.<br /><br />"Do not engage children in adult matters. They do not understand. But they will blindly follow," she said.<br /><br />"You see those students rallying on the streets, crying and howling? Products of years of manipulation and lies," she added.<br /><br />She also said that she looked up to Ninoy before and thought that Ninoy would have been a great president, better than Marcos.<br /><br />But as she grew up, she also learned about Marcos and she got confused.<br /><br />Before she ends her statement, she said that Marcos is not a hero but asked, "Is he really as evil as he is painted to be?"</span><br />

You see those students rallying on the streets, crying and howling? Products of years of manipulation and lies. Ako, sa tutoo Lang, I looked up to Ninoy before. I really thought he would have been a great president, better than Marcos. Then as I grew older, I also learned more about Marcos. About Ninoy. Naconfuse ako. Today, I am not so sure of what I know anymore. When I reach that point, I took a step back and re-evaluated. Who writes the history anyway? There is always two sides of a coin. Who gets to write which side is true? Yes, Marcos not hero. Period. Established. But. Is he really as evil as he is painted to be? To what extent are his abuses and corruption? To what extent has he been demonized? Kaya sa tutoo Lang, no comment ako sa LNMB. I leave it to the law to dictate that fate."</span><br />

FVR, Cory Themselves Signed Law Allowing LNMB Burial For Marcos

Unknown 0 International News, Ph News, Popular Posts, Viral 8:08 PM

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 15pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: medium;">
It was actually President Corazon Aquino and Fidel V. Ramos who signed the law dictating who gets to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.  And under the law, late president Ferdinand Marcos is eligible to be interred there.
<br /><br />
An article by the website Thinking Pinoy explained how Marcos, whose recent burial at the Heroes' Cemetery has been heavily criticized, is acceptable in Philippine law.
<br /><br />
The editorial piece debunked the arguments of Vice President Leni Robredo who claimed that Marcos committed crimes, and his family stole massive wealth from the country.
The "Armed Forces of the Philippines Regulations G 161-373, subject: Allocation of Cemetery Plots at the LNMB issued on 1986 under AFP Chief Fidel Ramos and President Corazon Aquino states that there are ten categories for deceased persons to be entitled to a burial at the LNMB.
<br /><br />
These are Medal of Valor Awardee, Presidents, Commander-in-Chiefs, Secretaries of National Defense, Chiefs of Staffs, Generals of the AFP, Active and retired military personnel of the AFP, Former AFP members who laterally entered/joined the PNP and the PCG, Veterans, Gov't dignitaries, Statesmen, National Artists, widows of former presidents, Secreatries of National Defense, and Chief of Staffs.
<br /><br />
Those to be disqualified are persons dishonorably separated/reverted or discharged from service, and authorized personnel who were convicted by final judgment of an offense involving moral turpitude.
<br /><br />
Marcos qualifies for five of these categories and is not eligible for disqualification because his crimes were never tried in court. 
<br /><br />
He is therefore, under rule of law, presumed innocent to this date.
<br /><br />
The article said that if there is anyone to blame for the burial, it should be the Aquinos and the Liberal Party who did nothing to revise the regulations to prevent Marcos' burial there.

Gordon Believes That Cabinet Members Isn’t On The Same Side Of Duterte On Marcos Burial Should Resign!

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 15pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: medium;">
Senator Richard Gordon believed that Cabinet members who opposed President Duterte in his position on the burial of Late dictator Ferdinand Marcos should resign from their positions.
<br /><br />
“Resign from your post if your conscience isn’t on the same side as President Rodrigo Duterte.” Richard Gordon said during a radio interview Sunday.
<br /><br />
He believes that a Cabinet member should be on the side with the President and if she or he can’t agree with Duterte’s decisions anymore, she or he should resign.
<br /><br />
“Kung ikaw ay cabinet member you have to side with the president kung hindi mo na kaya na mag-side sa pangulo at ng prinsipyo mo, you resign,”
<br /><br />
Gordon criticised the members of Duterte Cabinet who always opposed the decision of the President, Gordon expected that if the relationship of Duterte and the Cabinet members goes bitter, the President may kick her or him out.
<br /><br />
“Yun ang mangyayari kasi you are the President, cabinet kasama kayo, kapag ikaw ay kokontra at hindi na kayo magka-igihan ng president you resign or the president fires you,” Gordon said without mentioning any names from Duterte cabinet.
<br /><br />
Some Cabinet members of President Duterte including Vice President Leni Robredo opposed the surprise burial of Former dictator Ferdinand Marcos in the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
<br /><br />
When the interviewer asked Gordon if he was referring to the Vice President, the Senator refused to answer.
<br /><br />
Gordon urged the politicians to follow their conscience if they cannot agree with the President’s decision.
<br /><br />
Vice President Leni Robredo is the first Cabinet member of President Duterte who opposed the burial of Marcos in the Libingan ng mga Bayani. She described the burial of the late dictator as “thief in the night”.
<br /><br />
DSWD Secretary Judy Taguiwalo, a torture victim during Martial Law said that Marcos will never be a hero however, she don’t want a rift between her and Duterte because he is her President.

ANTHONY TABERNA`S REACTION ON THE BURIAL OF FORMER PRESIDENT FERDINAND MARCOS AT LNMB

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: medium;">
While many people are fighting against the controversial burial of former president Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (LNMB), Journalist Anthony Taberna chose a different perspective.
<br /><br />
Friday, November 19, Taberno took his Instagram and wrote a long message about this opinions on the burial of Marcos.
<br /><br />
Taberna wrote on Instagram:
<br /><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">“Kung ako ang tatanungin, mas mainam na nanatili na lamang ang mga labi ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos sa Ilocos Norte. Kung ako ang tatanungin, mas maigi na hindi na lamang pumayag ang mayorya ng mahistrado ng Korte Suprema na ipalibing siya sa Libingan ng mga Bayani. Ang problema, hindi naman ako tinatanong. At saka, wala naman akong monopolyo ng opinyon.</i></span><br />
<i style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pihado, karamihan sa atin kungdi man lahat ay nabigla nang malaman na andun na sa LB o LNMB ( ano nga ba ang tamang acronym) sa Taguig (dating parte ng Makati) ang pamilya Marcos para sa seremonya ng libing. Naisip ko, naisahan tayong lahat lalona ang mga taong ang default system ng utak ay galit o nasusuklam sa mga Marcos, matanda man o millenials, pulitiko man o aktibista. Nalilito lang ako ng konti dahil ayaw nila na tratuhing bayani si Marcos pero ayaw din naman nilang gawing sikreto o pribado ang libing gaya ng ginawa kahapon. Ano ba talaga Kuya?</span></i><br />
<i style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nagsumbong sila sa Supreme Court pero nang hindi nakuha ang gusto, nagalit sa mga mahistrado. Ano kaya’t kung ang ginawa ay ganito – iminartsa ang karwahe mula sa Batac, dadaan sa Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan hanggang sa EDSA patungong Fort Bonifacio?</span></i><br />

Maliban sa 21-gun salute na ibinibigay sa isang namayapang Pangulo, wala ng anumang palatandaan na hero’s burial kay Marcos. Kahit magbasa tayo ng kasaysayan dito at sa iba pang bansa, hindi papasa bilang hero’s burial</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Ang ginawa kay Marcos.</i></span><br />
<i style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hindi naging bayani si Marcos kahit nalibing pa siya sa LNMB. Kung magiging istrikto tayo, baka nga mas marami pa sa uban (puting buhok) ni Congressman Edcel Lagman ang mga bangkay na nilibing sa LnmB na hindi naman bayani. Nirerespeto natin ang damdamin ng bawat isa pero wag namang OA. May mga kaibigan ako na nakulong at namaltrato noong panahon ng Martial law at ngayon ay umaamin na mas masahol pa sa pangungurakot at pagiging abusado at pagka-inutil ang ilang sumunod kay Marcos.</span></i><br />

Ranhilio Callangan Aquino, dean of San Beda College of Law and Chairman of the Department of Jurisprudence and Legal Philosophy at Philippine Judicial Academy, Supreme Court, wrote for The Standard saying that he was in fear of what was happening at the moment as protesters gathered at the EDSA monument and all around Manila to protest the recent burial of late dictator Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
<br /><br />
"It is not the crowds that frighten me, because, truth to tell, they do not make that remarkable a throng. It is not even the possibility of an upheaval that may send the government packing that worries me" he wrote.
<br /><br />
He said the Duterte government is far too powerful to be ousted and that Bong bong Marcos has a large following too, judging from the election results.
<br /><br />
"What I am frightened about is the virulence of the rage that the protests have made manifest. It is one thing to deliver a very strong speech, articulating one’s arguments against the burial — but it is really quite another thing to incite the desecration of a grave, or even to move for the exhumation of the remains of one already buried." he said.
<br /><br />
The priest reiterated that the burial was legal. He said Ted Te, spokesperson of the Court said that no motion for reconsideration has been filed.
<br /><br />
He said just because Marcos declared martial law does not mean that he didn't deserve the burial.
<br /><br />
"The Constitution of 1935 allowed him to and, unlike the Constitution of 1987, did not lay down parameters for the execution of martial law. In fact, it is not correct to say “never again”, for where circumstances demand it, the President must use the powers given him by the Constitution to defend the Republic."

He said it was not fair to say that Marcos is the culprit behind every summary execution, every act of torture, every incident of unlawful disappearance.

He said there  were no facts supporting the claims.

He also defended why the family kept the burial secret.

"Families are entitled to determine the manner their loved ones are interred, are they not? Of course announcing the funeral ahead of time would have given Marcos opponents ample time to plan and strategize the sabotaging of the event — much like an irate Roman mob threw the body of Pope Pius IX into the Tiber during the Funeral Procession.'

He said it would have pleased the Marcos haters.

He said the anger of the protesters was frightening.

"That kind of anger that does not flinch at conscripting school children to mouth invectives to which they utterly cannot relate, or that passes to millennials one version of the story as the authorized and canonical version, or that condemns to the fires of damnation when one should be praying for the salvation of all — that is the anger that frightens me because it corrodes the spirit of the nation" he wrote

Tatad Explains Aquino’s ‘Fear’ Of The Marcoses

Unknown 0 Ph News, Viral 8:01 PM

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 15pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: medium;">
UPDATED AS OF NOVEMBER  21, 2016 @ 6:00PM —In a commentary for the Manila Times by journalist Francisco Tatad, he explains why former President Benigno Aquino III was so afraid of a Bongbong Marcos win in the last vice-presidential elections.
<br /><br />
He said Aquino had an “undying hatred of the Marcos past” as well as an “unreasoning fear of a Marcos future”, at the same time he claims that Ferdinand Marcos’ term was the “golden age” when the country was respected everywhere in the globe.
<br /><br />
He claims the “real value” of Martial Law has been forgotten by Aquino who froths in the mouth upon mere consideration of a Marcos win.
<br /><br />
Tatad claims the war is a continuation of that which the men’s fathers started, and that Aquino’s hatred is because of the things that transpired leading to, and following the death of Ninoy.

<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 15pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here are some of the facts:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">-Ninoy Aquino’s career was mostly dedicated to the destruction of Ferdinand Marcos. In his entire time as senator, he only authored one law (which his chief of staff claims to have drafted for him), and the rest were mere anti-Marcos plots and speeches, one exposing the national security project for Sabah which made the country lose “a paramount national interest”. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">-In 1969, he gathered communists to rebel against the government. When these rebels came knocking on the Palace, Martial Law was declared. The oligarchy condemned Marcos. The Aquinos were backing them.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">-Aquino was believed to have been involved in the bombing of the Liberal Party rally at Plaza Miranda yet blamed Marcos for it. Incidentally, while his colleagues were there, Aquino wasn’t at the scene. Years later then Senate President Jovito Salonga said “Ninoy had something to do with it.”</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">-Ninoy was warned not to come home by then Defense Secretary Juan Ponce Enrile because of a Security threat, Aquino went anyway and was shot at the airport now named after him. Cory, his wife did not even bother to have the death investigated and immediately blamed Marcos for it. Aquino became a hero from then on.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">-When Cory became president, she wiped off all of Marcos’ marks in the government, including beneficial programs, the almost complete Bataan Nuclear Powerplant and the entire the nation’s energy program. She spent almost a trillion building flyovers all over the country in six years as compared to the 600 billion Marcos spent in twenty.</span></li>
</ul>
<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<center>
<div id="SC_TBlock_205625" class="SC_TBlock">loading...</div>
</center>

Tatad says that maybe in his six unproductive years in the presidency, he realized no son of a former president should go near it again.
<br /><br />

Aquino made it a bigger priority that there be a Marcos loss compared to a Roxas win.
<br /><br />

Out of all the senators who ran for VP, Marcos was the only one who was not tarred for receiving payment for the impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona.
<br /><br />

Tatad claims Aquino knew that manipulating the VP races would be easier for him. He had done it successfully.
<br /><br />

Tatad also claims that the Aquinos, whose treason began from Nonoy’s grandfather’s collaboration with the Japanese in the Pacific war, should be exposed.
<br /><br />

So the world could see what they really are “permanently”.
<br /><br />

Many were able to check how massive the drug war the new government is doing today.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: medium;">
Senator Manny Pacquiao revealed Tuesday during an exclusive interview with Karen Davila that Eastern Visayas Drug Lord Kerwin Espinosa allegedly gave P8M pesos to the former Department of Justice Secretary and now Senator Leila De Lima.
<br /><br />
Manny Pacquiao visited Kerwin Espinosa on Camp Crame after the press conference on Friday and privately interviewed the drug lord about his knowledge in the illegal drug trade in the Philippines.
<br /><br />
He believes that Kerwin is telling the truth and not coached during their discussion.
<br /><br />
Kerwin also revealed to Pacquiao that Ronnie Dayan, former boyfriend of Senator De Lima was the transporter of the drug money that the drug lord sent for the former Department of Justice Secretary.
<br /><br />
Pacquiao also revealed during an interview with Karen Davila that Senator De Lima met Espinosa in Baguio City to prove that the former Justice Secretary really received the money that he sent by the help of Dayan.
<br /><br />
Kerwin Espinosa is expected to testify in front of the Senators tomorrow morning.
<br /><br />
According to whistleblower Sandra Cam, Kerwin Espinosa implicated two Senators and many public officials in his affidavit that will present.

UP Alumnus Satirically Tells Edcel Lagman To Replace Marcos' Body At LNMB

Unknown 0 Ph News, Popular Posts 7:46 PM

Ben Bañares in his popular NewskuPow news item said that Albay Representative Edcel Lagman issued an urgent motion at the Supreme Court to remove late president Ferdinand Marcos' body from the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
<br /><br />
He said that Lagman could replace the cadaver if he wanted to.
<br /><br />
Lagman reportedly filed the motion to ensure that the body buried was not a wax figure.
<br /><br />
"Kung kayo ang Marcoses, matapos niyong hintayin ng ilang dekada ang pagkakataong ito,maglilibing ba kayo doon ng… wax?" he wrote.

Beñares also hit Duterte's critics for calling the current president as 'trapo' or 'traditional politician'.
<br /><br />
"I-Google n’yo nga ang ibig sabihin ng TRADITIONAL! Si Digong ang KABALIGTARAN ng salitang 'yan." he wrote.

He said members of the Liberal Party were the embodiments of the term.

He satirically said that he agreed that the name of the Heroes' Cemetery be changed instead.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Clears Ferdinand Marcos Heirs Of ill-gotten Charges

Unknown 0 Ph News, Viral 7:44 PM

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 15pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: medium;">
THE Supreme Court has junked the ill-gotten cases against the heirs and in-laws of the late President Ferdinand Marcos due to a lack of evidence, and took the Presidential Commission on Good Government and the Office of the Solicitor General to task for bungling the job.
<br /><br />
The dismissed cases involved the alleged accumulation of P200 billion in ill-gotten wealth and the acquisition of media networks IBC-13, BBC-2 and RPN-9; the alleged use of De Soleil Apparel for dollar salting; and the alleged acquisition and operation of the bus company Pantranco North Express Inc.
<br /><br />
The decision by then Associate Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, dated Feb. 8, 2012, was not released to the press. Sereno was named Chief Justice six months later, on Aug. 12, 2012.
<br /><br />
Second Division Justices Arturo Brion, Martin Villarama Jr., Jose Portugal Perez and Bienvenido Reyes concurred with Sereno’s finding that the prosecutors failed to abide by the “best evidence rule,” putting in question the process used by the PCGG and OSG in the cases.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 15pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: medium;">
<p><blockquote>“Despite having the expansive resources of government, the members of the prosecution did not even bother to provide any reason whatsoever for their failure to present the original documents or the witnesses to support the government’s claims. 
Even worse was presenting in evidence a photocopy of the TSN (transcript of stenographic notes) of the PCGG proceedings instead of the original, or a certified true copy of the original, which the prosecutors themselves should have had in their custody. 
Such manner of legal practice deserves the reproof of this Court. We are constrained to call attention to this apparently serious failure to follow a most basic rule in law, given the special circumstances surrounding this case,” the decision read.</p></blockquote>
<br /><br />
While the children of the former president – Imee Marcos-Manotoc, Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Irene Marcos-Araneta – were defendants as compulsory heirs, their involvement in the cases was never established, the Court said.
<br /><br />
<p><blockquote>“In fact, they were never mentioned by any of the witnesses presented. Neither did the documentary evidence pinpoint any specific involvement of the Marcos children,” the decision said.</p></blockquote>

<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 15pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: medium;">
The court also dismissed the case filed against Irene’s husband, businessman Gregorio Araneta III, due to a lack of evidence.
“In the matter of the spouses Irene Marcos and Gregorio Araneta III, the court similarly held that there was no testimonial or documentary evidence that supported petitioner’s allegations against the couple.
Again, petitioner failed to present the original documents that supposedly supported the allegations against them. Instead, it merely presented photocopies of documents that sought to prove how the Marcoses used the Potencianos as dummies in acquiring and operating the bus company Pantranco,” the decision said.
The Supreme Court also said that Imelda Romualdez Marcos and Ferdinand Jr., as executor and defendants in the case, should be protected and given due process.
The two should not be deprived of their right to protect and defend all the properties left by the former President, except if they waive this right in favor of the state, the Court said.
<br /><br />
“Since the pending case before the Sandiganbayan survives the death of Ferdinand E. Marcos, it is imperative therefore that the estate be duly represented. The purpose behind this rule is the protection of the right to due process of every party to a litigation who may be affected by the intervening death. 
The deceased litigant is himself protected, as he continues to be properly represented in the suit through the duly appointed legal representative of his estate. On that note, we take judicial notice of the probate proceedings regarding the will of Ferdinand E. Marcos.
<br /><br />
In Republic of the Philippines v. Marcos II, we upheld the grant by the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of letters testamentary in solidum to Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr and Imelda Romualdez Marcos as executors of the last will and testament of the late Ferdinand E. Marcos,” the Supreme Court said.
“Unless the executors of the Marcos estate or heirs are ready to waive in favor of the state their right to defend or protect the estate or those properties found to be ill-gotten in their possession, control or ownership, then they may not be dropped as defendants in the civil case pending before the Sandiganbayan,” the decision added.
<br /><br />
The Supreme Court affirmed the Sandiganbayan decision dated Dec. 5, 2005 that acknowledged the children of the late President as legitimate defendants in the case.
<br /><br />
The Supreme Court also called on Malacanang to investigate the process by which prosecution handled the case.
<br /><br />
<p><blockquote>
“Let a copy of this Decision be furnished to the Office of the President so that it may look into the circumstances of this case and determine the liability, if any, of the lawyers of the Office of the Solicitor General and the Presidential Commission on Good Government in the manner by which this case was handled in the Sandiganbayan,” the Court said.</p></blockquote>
