para bang bayani si Angelo nung dumating siya dito!!! may kung ano ano pang mga fiesta, donation, scholarship, etc na nakuha. e ano bang naitulong ni Angelo sa ating bayan? at mabait pa raw ang mga nag kidnap sa kanya!!! ipakita nyo nga kung paano ginilitan yung Koreano at Amerikano!!!

e paano naman yung iba nating kababayan na nagtratrabaho rin sa ibang bansa? paano yung mga nabibitay sa Saudi Arabia? paano yung mga namatay tulad ni Flor Contemplacion? paano yung mga inaabuso sa HK na wala naman tayong pakielam?

sa totoo lang, tama si jolog. kung si GMA lang ang tatanungin, hindi yan mag pupull-out ng troops. kaso itong mga pulitiko kasi natin gustong palalain ang sitwasyon. tayo naman masyadong apektado dahil kapanonood ng mga drama at soap opera.

ngayon, mas lalong tumapang ang mga militanteng grupo doon. anim ngayon ang dinukot sabay sabay. wala na ba tayong pakielam sa kanila?

amen here! kung pinabayaan ni gma si angelo mamatay, magkakareason manggulo na naman yung mga bwiset na trapo na yan..bwiset din ang media..sensationalizers! pati ba naman kinain ni angelo ibabalita!??! pambihira naman! ngayon baka demandahin pa ng abs cbn ang gma kasi nag air ng footage ang gma na galing sa abs cbn..kawawa talaga ang pinas..

Ang ganda ng ating dakilang Presidente. Nagdadasal kuno sa harap ng Lady of Rosales.

against din ako sa pullout...pero admire ko si GMA sa stand niya against the pressure from US...

may bola pala si GMA...saludo ako sa kanya. not that I agreed with her decision pero hanga ako sa paninindigan niya.

**tagalnasaabroad** · July 28th, 2004 02:44 AM

sa akin simple lang ang pananaw ko dito:

*ano ba ang nakataya rito? buhay ng pilipino..
*sino ba ang umiigting na umaayaw sa desisyon ni GMA? US, Australia, at syempre mga pinoy na may kanya-kanyang paninindigan..
*bakit napasubo tayo rito sa Iraq? para lang mapagbigyan ang gusto ni Bush..
*sino ba si Bush at bakit nya inatake ulit ang Iraq? presidente ng USA at nagpalabas ng ***ed-up intelligence galing sa CIA, mga british para lang mawala si Saddam sa Iraq at macontrol ang potential oil reserves..
*justified ba ang ginawa ni Bush? hindi kasi binale wala nya ang UN role + ang mga UN inspectors nagtakbuhan pauwi ng inabutan ng dealine ni Bush sa Iraq; lumitaw na ang WMD wala naman kaya kamot ulo sya sabay tanggal ke tukayo George Tenet, ang CIA director as a sacrificial lamb..
*sinong mga bansa ang umayaw sa dikta ni Bush sa Iraq? Germany, France, Russia, China etc.
*sinong mga bansa ang dating kampi sa kay Bush tapos lumisan sa Iraq? Spain, Philippines among others
*Anong dahilan bakit nagwithraw ng support? sa Spain palit ng presidente at terrorist bombings sa Madrid; sa atin si Angelo dela Cruz
*Tapat ba si Bush sa kanyang bansa? hindi kasi daming namatay na mga kano sa gyerang walang kadahidahilan at nandamay ng maraming nananahimik na mga bansa katulad natin..

iyan lang sa akin mga kapatid na pilipino.

gusto ko lang hong palabasin dito na kung ang isang issue ay tinitingnan at binibigyan ng tama at pantay na pananaw sa kanyang pinakaugat, mas malinaw hindi bias at magiging buo ang kalalabasan ng ating opinyon;

pag nakafocus ang isang tanawin sa isang kanto lang na kitang kita ang kababuyan at kalaswaan at ipalabas sa CNN complete with very negative comments against one particular place or country, iisipin ng viewers na bulok na rin ang kabuuan ng isang bansa;

pero kakapirasong kanto lang ho ang pinakita at hindi ang pangkalahatan na anyo ng buong lugar;

ganoon din sana ang ipaiiral natin sa mga maseselang bagay na hinaharap ng bayan natin;

in unity there is strength; let's just do it!

**theveed** · July 28th, 2004 07:14 PM

I'd personally prefer a negative news report than a powdered up soap opera that local news carries...

**baiskee** · July 28th, 2004 10:32 PM

masyado na rin yatang na-baby tong si angelo.
IMO, bakit may hero's welcome? it's unfair to our other OFW who also sacrifices their lives, some got already injured and yet no support from the government...

..ano ba nagawa ni angelo sa bansa natin? sorry, but i find it OA. ang hilig pang makisawsaw ng ibang politicians sa issue. :mad: IMO.

**caloyski5** · July 29th, 2004 08:29 AM

agree with baiskee..

im not sure kung namention na ito sa previous pages ha..pero may dumating the day before na patay na ofw..hindi man lang pinansin ng media..

The Lighter side of the Angelo de la Cruz/Iraq Hostage Crisis

What if the following scenes happened instead in the Iraqi Hostage Crisis?

Scene 1: Saudi Arabia

Boss : Okay, Angelo, your next assignment is delivering goods to the war-torn country of Iraq.

Angelo : Iraq? No way dude. They'd kidnap me and chop my head off.

Boss : I'll double your salary.

Angelo : Tang ina mo.

Boss : Excuse me?

Angelo : I said, its still not worth it. I love my head.

Boss : Okay. TRIPLE your salary.

Angelo: Quadruple.

Boss: Tang ina mo.

Angelo : Well, since you put it quite nicely... Okay.

Scene 2: The Iraqi Highway

Iraqi Masked Man1 (IMM1) - F*cking bulgarians didnt even flinch

IMM2 : Yeah. Those koreans too. I tell you Ahmed, this hostage taking doesn't pay.

IMM1 : Shh. Dont call me by my first name. The american spies are everywhere.

IMM2 : Sorry Ahmed.

IMM1 : (glares at him) Hey! Whats that! It's a truck from Saudi!

IMM2 : What luck! The driver's a Filipino. They are America's
biggest ally in the South Pacific! Lets Get him!

(Struggle happens. The Iraqi Masked men grabs Angelo from the truck, beats him senseless and ties him up.)

Scene 3: The Iraqi Hideout

IMM1 : Are you awake?

Angelo : Tang ina nyo!

IMM2 : (slaps angelo) I didnt like the way you said it. What does that mean?

Angelo : "Good morning", in Filipino.

IMM1 : Oh, sorry.

Scene 4: Al Jazeera TV taped broadcast from the Iraqi hideout

IMM1 : People of the Philippines. Behold, we have in our hands one of your sons, Angelo dela Cruz.

Filipino People : (Gasps!)

IMM1 : We want freedom for our country. We also want to chop off this man's head. But we are reasonable. Withdraw your vast horde of infidels staying indefinitely from our motherland or else...

(IMM2 whispers in IMM1 's ear. IMM's eyes light up.)

IMM1 : My mistake. Withdraw your measly fifty-one troops which I'm sure would not be able to make a dent in the US offense, one month ahead of schedule or we shall chop his bloody head off! We shall give you two days to decide..... (Pause) Tang Ina nyo.

Scene 5: Malacañan Palace

(President GMA is holding her phone in one hand and talking animatedly with the person on the other line)

GMA : No, of course we will not give in to their demands. Terrorism is an act the Philippine government does not encourage. Rest assured, we will never pull out our troops. And yes, I know the extremes to which you guys will do if we chicken out.

(Mike Arroyo enters the room. GMA Puts down the phone and sighs)

Mike: Hi hon, who was that on the phone? George Bush?

GMA : Jay Leno

Scene 6: 4 hours later at a Radio station

Commentator : And you believe we should pull out of Iraq?

Bishop : Yes. It is immoral that we are there in the first place. They should save the life of that man. Screw the americans!

Commentator : Er... Wouldn't that give the wrong message? They are terrorists after all?

Bishop : No, we shall show them that the Filipino people values life above such petty things as keeping promises, alliances and not negotiating with terrorists.

Commentator : You do know that the last bishop would have said "Let us pray for wisdom in these dark times" and light up candles and set up large prayer rallies for Angelo.

Bishop : Screw him. I'm the Bishop now.

Erap : (in faint background) Ibagsak si GMA!

Scene 7: The Iraqi Hideout

(IMM is talking animatedly on the phone)

IMM1 : You pull out or we cut off his head!

Voice on the Phone (VOP) : Can we at least talk to him so we know he's alive?

IMM1 : Ok. (Gives the phone to Angelo)

VOP : How are you Angelo?

Angelo : Tang ina mo.

IMM1 : (chuckles) Idiot. It's evening in the Philippines.

VOP : Magsasalita ako sa tagalog para hindi nila alam ang sasabihin mo.

Angelo : Ayoko na dito! Ambaho baho, ndi naliligo tong mga to. Gusto ko nang mamatay!

VOP : (pause) Hmmm... Nasaan ka. Ipapasalvage natin
yan sa mga kaibigan nating Kano. Walang kwenta mga pinadala natin tropa dito e.

Angelo : Ayos. Nandito ako sa 911 Iraqi Hideout Ave., corner Baghdad Drive.

VOP : Ayus.

IMM1 : Are you done?

VOP : Yes. We will pull out. Tang Ina mo.

IMM2 : It's Good Evening. Idiot.

Scene 8: 4 hours later at another Radio Station

Commentator : ...and we have confirmed that Malacanañ has been getting very good results with the negotiations.

Angelo's relative (AR) : I dont believe that. They should tell us what is happening. We shouldn't have news black outs. The country NEEDS to know what GMA will do.

Commentator : ...but it will hamper the negotiations and probably endanger the hostage.

AR : Basta! We need to know! Yadda Yadda. We need to know!

Erap : (in faint background) Ibagsak si GMA!

Scene 9: 2 hrs later in Malacañan Palace

(GMA is preparing a broadcast for nationwide TV)

GMA : Good evening my countrymen. I would like to update you on what my legitimate government is doing for Angelo who will be my guest of honor when i give the SONA next week. There will be no pull out. I repeat. There will be no pullout. We have pinpointed the location of the hideoout of Angelo's abductors at...
(reads paper)...911 Iraqi Hideout Ave., cor., Baghdad Drive. American strike teams are now on the way to exterminate them... Salamat. Pagpapapatayin natin ang mga ga gong yon. Mabuhay tayong lahat. Mabuhay ako. Ang galing ko talaga.

Scene 10: 911 Iraqi Hideout Ave., cor Baghdad Drive

(The Iraqi abductors are looking at a TV broadcast from Manila)

IMM2 : Ahmed, what do u mean, that I have a red dot on my forehead?

***THE END***
