tk421 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 LOL. Conspiracy pa more. As far as I know they're a human rights group. Sus kung ganun lang, he could have easily given it to the NPA directly (yey more money to buy arms!), instead to an alleged CPP-NDF-NPA connected group that champions human rights.

I suggest you research about the real purpose of Karapatan. You seem to have just superficial knowledge about these front organizations. From what information you've given so far, it tells me that your relative was a real dyed-in-the-wool communist subversive, and the government was justified in detaining him during Martial Law.

tk421 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 He could. But, again it's none of your business where the donation winds up in. Maybe he's just grateful for taking in his case. Or maybe you're just cross with that rights group because they were instrumental in bringing down your boss, Gen. Palaparan? Who knows? Quote Link to comment
camiar Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) A lot of maybe. When cornered, all you can say is "it's none of your business". You portrayed him as an innocent human rights victim. It's turning out he's not. Not everybody in this forum are so naive to fall for you your charade . Edited June 12, 2018 by camiar Quote Link to comment
tk421 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Right. So you’re resorting to muddying the issue when I was being consistent with what I’ve been saying all along: torture did happen during the Marcos era and it is not justifiable, ever. That’s what you guys do best naman pag na corner na, Ililipat sa iba ang focus. You said so yourself that torture is not right diba? Paano napunta ang focus kung saan dapat gastusin ang compensation?

Paano napunta ang focus kung saan dapat gastusin ang compensation?,It was reparation payment, not compensation. There's a big difference. Sa yo din naman nanggaling kung saan ginastos yung reparation payment given to your relative, the manner of which it was spent, I felt, as a taxpayer, was inappropriate and underhanded. Imagine, using government reparation funds to bring down the the very government who gave it. It suggests that your relative was an unrepentant subversive who still hopes to see our government overthrown someday. It implies he was either a die-hard communist rebel - a combatant (NPA member) or an operative (agitator, political officer, etc...), which does not fit the innocent victim that you portray him to be.

Well it didn't come from your taxes as far as I know. The money came from the sequestered Marcos wealth. You can view it that way, if you wish (that he aims to bring down the government... that's how a typical paranoid DDS thinks, anyways). It's your opinion and it's a relatively free country. But as I see it he's just paying it forward by helping other victim (and would-be victims) of human rights injustice. Quote Link to comment
camiar Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) That's how you see it. But the fact remains that any amount taken from the Philippine Treasury belong to Filipino taxpayers, wherever it came from. And if you just care enough to learn more about the real activities and intent of Karapatan, you wouldn't be so self righteous. Edited June 14, 2018 by camiar Quote Link to comment
camiar Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) I saw this in facebook. Impressive speech. Especially the part towards the end where Marcos questions the commitment of the US in coming to aid the Philippines is case we are attacked. https://www.facebook.com/200328460714473/videos/250927452321240/?t=180 Edited June 14, 2018 by camiar Quote Link to comment
tk421 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 If the money advances the rights of Filipinos, then it is money well-spent. Better than it going to corrupt politicians. Quote Link to comment
camiar Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 The sad reality is if people don't have money, they would not even care to advance their own rights. If day-to-day survival is their primary concern, human rights means nothing to them. They will fight for food but they will not fight for rights. Quote Link to comment
will robie Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 HAHA. Believe it or not, I actually do not care. Pero research ka pa and maybe you'll see the truth. Fairy tale? We're confident in the fact that 1.9M of Marcos' wealth has been donated to Karapatan c/o us. You don't care but you've been posting about it. You're confident but you cant' say it with certainty. Being confident about something and that something being a fact are two different things. Quote Link to comment
