‘Arroyo regime worse than Marcos era’
BY LOUI GALICIA
ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau
AT THE HAGUE_____
The six-member jury on the Permanent People’s Tribunal found the administration of President Arroyo to be worse than the Marcos government it had tried in 1980.
The jury found the Gloria Macapagal Arroyo government, the George W. Bush government and their accomplices guilty of gross violations of human rights, economic and social rights and transgression of the national sovereignty of the Filipino people.
Jury President Francois Houtart said that the jury found very similar situations during the time of Marcos and the present government.
“During Marcos, the whole world knew that there was a dictatorship and it is expected that there will be violations of human rights. Today democracy, that is perhaps the reason why it is less known in the rest of the world that today’s situation is similar to martial law, thirty years ago,” Houtart said.
Houtart said the tribunal will hold the Arroyo administration liable if “anything happens to the witnesses that testified.”
PPT Secretary General Gianni Tognoni, speaking on behalf of the jurors, told ABS-CBN’s News From Europe that the verdict was unanimous due to the overwhelming evidence presented. Tognoni added the jury did not have a moment of doubt as to the guilt of Mrs. Arroyo and Bush during the deliberations.
The jurors also denounced as “unacceptable” the inclusion of the Philippine government under the Arroyo administration in the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC). The inclusion of the Philippines, the jurors said, undermines the credibility of the United Nations particularly in human rights, and is “an intolerable offense” to the victims.
Houtart said that although the verdict may be legally non-binding, it is nevertheless “morally binding.”
The judgement will be transmitted to the United Nations, the International Court of Justice, the European Parliament and various foreign governments.
Tognoni said that the transmittal to these bodies will be a major step toward focusing world attention on the human rights crisis in the Philippines.
World opinion will add more pressure to the US-supported Arroyo administration to stop the killings, he added.
Japanese juror Oda Makoto, a well-known novelist and social activist, apologized to the Filipinos for not knowing what has been happening in the Philippines since he sat on the jury that tried the Marcos government in 1980.
Malaysian juror Irene Fernandez, a lawyer, social development expert and head of Tenaganita, wished that liberation will come soon for the Filipinos.
Sen. Ana Marie “Jamby” Madrigal told News From Europe that Mrs. Arroyo deserves the verdict.
“I hope Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will be made accountable for crimes against humanity by the international community,” Madrigal told News From Europe.
Jose Maria Sison, the founder of the Communist Party of the Philippines, compared Mrs. Arroyo to a devil dwarf.
“You know, a devil dwarf does mischief, all that’s bad. Marcos being a dictator is a giant, while Gloria, no matter how big her voice, is a pip squeak,” Sison told News From Europe
Around 200 people gathered at the Pax Christikerk in the Hague, The Netherlands for the announcement of the verdict and for show of solidarity.

such was re-copied only from an "israeli or pro-israeli web page" called "israel.place". such web page is from the msn network. the author is obviously an israeli by the username of 'alphabeto '. such israeli obviously is not familiar with the spelling of philippines. at least such israeli knows what's taking place in the philippines.
yo, mr. foolish anonymous, you forgot to put a comma after your slang called "yo". you are not that familiar with grammar. you are either a moron or a drop-out from a school. you need to study your grammar carefully.
carlos!
good luck! i'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, dude.
There are so many grammatical errors in the following paragraphs it makes my head spin. Can anybody out there who really knows grammar please help this sad fellow by pointing out where he went wrong? It's so mind blowing I don't know where to begin. By the way, communists. Fun is fun. Any more "anti-gloria" crap will be deleted.

Am here again! I got shocked at a scene yesterday while watchin' at CNN. Man, a hostage-situation occured at d' Liwasan..... D crazy hostage-taker demanded free educ. for those he held hostage at gunpoint and by a couple of grenades. Yip, he did say dat d current gov in d Philippines is loaded w/ corruption. But almozzzzz every-1 in d' Philippines already knows such fact! He jas justified his crime by uttering facts that every-1 knows already in this country.
Well, it's amazing dat such hostage-taking incident ended peacefully. But, it would be another foolish thing if d' police would jas let dat crazy man get off d hook w/ smiles all over their faces. Man, dat was a crime..... Those crazy hostage-takers Jun Ducat n' a certain Cesar Asar should pay for such a heinous crime! What they did was outright kidnapping. Those politicians who want those guyz get off d' hook easily would jas pave d' way for other crazy fellows in this country to stage their own "cinematic crimes" n' grab attenzioan!!!!!! Watz happenin in this country, man? We have crazy politicians runnin d' government n' crazy self-proclaimed saviors taking innocent peepz as hostages. I'm workin' fine as a resident deejay in a club..... I hav my own small shop here in Manila..... But itz a jungle out there in the city-streets! Unless our police will do itz job wisely, d' streets of Manila will remain as a wild urban jungle filled w/ 'crazy predators'.
I jas wanna be happy! Have lotz of fun! Danz to d' groove n' swing happily. See ya!
sayang, i thought i'd finally meet you in person :(
I really was planning to till the last moment. But my afternoon tour group started two hours late. I was done by seven pm instead of five.
Was really curious to see what it would be like. Heard it was fun.
