Feeling good with this feedback from good friend Cugie Loarca.

"Hi Raffy ! hope all is well with the old warrior…

Junie & I had dinner with my sister Cristina Monte last night with her
group of close friends including Lyn Gamboa, Pres. of Negros Museum. Her husband, Col. Danilo "Nil" Gamboa, a retired Marine officer, shared with me an interesting story about Raffy Alunan
who he's admired since an incident many years ago when he was still serving the Phil. Marines as a reserve officer.

This happened, the two of you were in uniform then, when Gen ermilta approached you & commented, "Hey, why are you not yet a general ?" You immediately replied, "Well, he, (pointing to Nil Gamboa) deserves to be a general more than me; he's served here longer than me!"

Wow, that answer really touched Nil G. then, & he was very impressed with your consideration to a fellow military officer & Negrense! Since then, he said, he has admired and values your bond of military friendship & professionalism.

He told me, "Pls tell Raffy that he is all support for your Senate run" & had even asked his wife, Lyn, to call & ask your brother Ed, for posters to put up. Their house in Silay is on the main hi-way, just before Sta Teresita School.

Btw, when we were taking our NROTC in La Salle College in 1968-69, Nil was the naval officer assigned there. He also was president of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Assoc. at one time. He is a good man, a good friend. Hope you can give him a call.

Keep well there,good friend. have a meaningful reflection on this Holy Week, with a glorious Easter Sunday!

Cugie with Junie here in Bacolod."

Col Nil Gamboa, PMR, was a dedicated officer who carved a name for himself in the Marines. It must have been AFP Reservist Day when we were together with Exec. Sec. Eddie Ermita. He headed the PM Reserves Brigade while I headed the 9th Infantry Division, Ready Reserve of the Philippine Army. Much admired as a leader, officer and marksman.


 Ma-aga pa kaina sang kaagahon, na-interview ako ni Vic Mercado sang DYRL. Ginapangayo ko ang suporta sang Bacolod, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, Panay kag mga Hiligaynon nga naglapta sa Luzon kag Mindanao para may boses kamo sa Senado.

DEFEND INANG LAYA. PROTECT THE PEOPLE. REDEEM OUR NAME.

Re Laglag-bala: This is what a president should do if his cabinet secretary in charge fails to take charge.

Step 1: relieve the entire chain, starting from the suspect unit and all the way up to the disciplining authority that failed to do its job.

Step 2: replace them with reliable indians and chiefs soonest possible, like within 24-48hrs;

Step 3: throw the book at those relieved after due process, the bigger the book the better;

Step 4: make amends to those who were victimized, apologize to Inang Laya and Juan de la Cruz, in public and before the world;

Step 5: have the syndicate including accessories swallow all the bullets used for the kotong or frame-up operations as penance.

There's no mistaking that this is a syndicated "kotong" operation that's protected by high above. The chain of command is weak at every link. It must be smashed ASAP!
