Sabah Standoff Issues

[chrismarte]

Marcos planned to invade and reclaim back Sabah in the 70's if I'm not mistaken. I used to hear stories from my uncle who was part of the commando unit trained supposedly for the mission

I suppose we had a bad-ass military back then compared to our neighbors

I have to concur on this, may plan nga si Marcos. Hindi ata natuloy because he was focused na on declaring Martial law.

Kuwento nga nang mga elders in the military.

nakita ko sa FB, na ang plano talaga ni Macoy eh talagang bantayan ang Sabah, ang ginawa ni Ninoy sinabi sa Malaysian Government yung plano ni macoy kaya ayun massacre ang inabot. "Jabidah" massacre ata yun

I still remember my dad's and uncles' story of how Ninoy divulged Marcos' plan to retake Sabah. Which subsequently led to the Jabidah Massacre.

And i think that also catapulted Ninoy into national consciousness... Dun sya simula nakilala...

nope, senator na sya nun. youngest reporter in korean war, youngest mayor, youngest governor, youngest senator. kilala na siya nuon. ang mga kalaban nya sana sa 1972 elections e si doy laurel o si salonga. yun lang e may ibag balak si makoy, nag-declare ng martial law.

as for Jabidah, hindi naman si Ninoy ang cause ng massacre, siya lang ang nag-bulgar. si Makoy ang nagpa-patay sa mga Jabidah commandos para walang ebidensiya. at yun ang umpisa ng moro revolt, na naging MNLF ni Nur Misuari (na isa sa ankan ng mga Kiram).
