Chapter 4: G & B

-


 Charges filed by the Department of Justice, then under lawyer Frank Drilon, President Aquino imprisoned Enrile... and some people who supported him.

 She (Cory Aquino) persecuted her own political enemies and allies including Salvador Laurel, businessman Eduardo Cojuanco, her own cousin who was a close Marcos associate; Ramon Mitra jr., and key members of the Rebolusyonaryong Makabansa (RAM).
 Enrile, Laurel, and the RAM officers already sensed signs of betrayal.

 Laurel pleaded with Mrs. Aquino not to mistrust Enrile and Ramos who, according to him, had been mainly responsible for their ascendency to power...
 Laurel thought that it was a first and last time she would show mistrust to Enrile.
He was wrong.
 She again sought to banish Enrile from her government.
 "We were alone in her office in the palace when Cory asked me: 'Doy, how can I get rid of Enrile?" Laurel kept the incident from Enrile and decided to cooperate with President Aquino.
 However, President Aquino's advicers mistook Laurel's cooperation for weakness that resulted... treated as a wimp in the Aquino cabinet.

 Before it could begin with anything, plunged into a disquieting debate: "Would it be a constitutional democracy or a Revolution one?"
 Laurel and other officials thought this question was already resoled with 1973 constitution.
 They felt it ironic that after abolishing a dictatorship, the new government would again resort to dictatorial powers.

 President Aquino manipulation of the government was planned from the very start.

 Tanodbayan Justice Raul M. Gonzales recalled that... instead "preserve and defend the constitution of the Philippines."... she was sworn into office, President Aquino's hidden adviser quietly typed out a new outline "Preserve and defend the fundamental law."
 Gonzales said, he read in toto the text of the oath prescribed in the 1973 constitution. "To preserve and defend the constitution, execute its laws and do justice to everyone..."
 Gonzales, the uncompromising government prosecutor, who was among those who strongly opposed the abolition of the 1973 constitution, later figured in a controversial Supreme Court decisions that resulted in the abolition of his office and his indefinite suspension from the practice of law after he had exposed the involvement of some of the Aquino-appointed justices in graft and corruption and immoral extravagance.

  "Your dad departing from Malacañang. Cory did not know anything about that event. She called Bosworth, and then I remember Cory shouted over the phone 'No I do not want him here. Just take him out!" -Enrile "Yes, that's it. I remember that, I remember that was in the middle of the night already we were already in Clark. The Americans still did not know quite what to do with us. The original arrangement was that we will be flown to Ilocos." -Bongbong Marcos "Cory requested that to Bosworth when I made the report to Cory, and because of the interregnum the gulo on that point probably the transmission of information to the operating units of the American Military was delayed." -Enrile "I remember Gen.

They misinterpreted the Paoay to Hawaii....
