With the freeing Senator Antonio F. Trillanes IV, after being in jail for more or less seven years by President Noynoy Aquino, are the negative comments and talks for and about him around. I had the urge to answer all of them, narrow minded and shallow comments.
Many says he was a stupid, fool and even moron doing all his standoffs and rebellion. I say he's just one of the very few men in this nation who have enough guts and courage to stand up, and defend the rights of the deprived. For those who see him with bad eyes, why don't you stop and think. Have you done any thing to contribute for the fight for the stolen rights of the nation(or for the least, for yourself and family)? Most of us are just sitting comfortably in our homes, waiting for the next news break and then commenting on the alleged mistakes we see. Why don't you act first? Then you can say you have the right to humiliate others, especially like Senator Trillanes who did a big sacrifice for the people.
Some even says he just spent half of his term on jail, sitting all day, looking at the ceiling. I say why don't you have some read first. He's an author and co- author of more than 15 bills, and had most of them pass into law.

....are just some of themOne narrow minded said he doesn't have the potential of a good leader because he's "leading us to nowhere". What the heck? He's leading us to enlightenment, to open our eyes and see how awful our nation is being ran and how naive and scared are the people to fight for the stolen rights. Just like what the Katipuneros did.One also says a good leader is a good follower. Well, not all the time. What if the administration's like the Spanish's during their colonization in the Philippines? What if it's like GMA's? Senator Trillanes walked out of his hearing to make a standoff, and so people says if he can't respect the judiciary system and because of that he's not a good example to people and won't definitely respect the law when he becomes president. But what he did was just like how the Katipuneros tore their cedulas and rebel against Spanish administration. It's also defying the law isn't it? So they also didn't had the potential of a good leader because of that?
Poor heroes of our generation. People are now too malicious to recognize the sacrifices that had been made. Many people always assume things,and make (invent) false reasons behind the noble deed Senator Trillanes did. If people will always be like that, heroes won't be named and recognized and it's just so unfair. If Rizal, Bonifacio and other heroes lived today, they won't be honored as heroes of our nation, and most likely people will invent and assume reasons why they deed that or this, why they did fought and rebelled.
Senator Trillanes made a great sacrifice for his cause. He spent his youth in prison. His child died and he didn't even had the chance to say his last goodbye because he's in jail. And most of all, his reputation was sacrificed in fighting against the bad guys. Now, most people viewed his as disrespectful to law, warfreak, barbarian even a corrupt.
It's so hard to understand why so many people can't see through his motives, with a government of corruption, lies, and robbing. To be clear, he's not as barbarian as many (narrow minded) people says. It's an armed revolt yes, because he saw the wrong doings of the administration, especially on the armed forces and faced the then president, Gloria M. Arroyo to report. Seeing she's a part of it(she ignored his complains and reports), what else could be done? And during his standoffs, no one was hurt, he secured people, no one was hurt. In his last standoff, in Manila Peninsula Hotel in Makati City, he surrended for the sake of the safety of everyone, and just for that good intentions, he was embarassed and humiliated by many. Still he continues to fight for the rights of the people and the good of this nation.A youht in jail, reputation, freedom and quality time for family and friends lost and a life , no one could equal that. His freedom only shows that what prevail will always be the GOOD. I know God will bless him. He deserve much more than humiliations by narrow minded people. Those who can't understand(as simple as it is) his motives and deed are good as a fool and have no love for the country and it's people. He should be honored and recognized as a hero. I'll say Mabuhay ka Senator Trillanes! I salute you with all my heart. THE TRUE HERO OF OUR TIME, THE MODERN ANDRES BONIFACIO!
For A heroMy Tribute to the TRUE hero, Sen. Antonio F. Trillanes IV
Feet stampingIn the noise of the bootsHeart’s cryingNobody could soothe
Beautiful face showingAnger and passionIn his heart blendingWhere’s the destination
The sunshine in his faceGlorious as it appears to beNot minding the menaceFight he says
mind wrapped about in furyheart surrounded with passiona prayer in a pocketand courage to be the weapon
hold her handhold his hand and minesee us walk behind youthrough it all let’s cross the line
the red flag and mother sunthat has been long gonewith your strong hands you wavethe nation may you save
while the others humiliatebrave man it’s not so lateto hear the peoples’ cryfor the hundredth time let us try
Oh dear one do not stopEven in the face it’s a slapNo matter how painful it would beHope’s light someday you will see
Plant the seedThere will always be the winterBut soldier hold onWait for the springIt may be a long lingeringBut you will obtain the freedom you deserve
Accept their humiliationsGet a hold of their crueltyBut do remember for alwaysOnes like you will get your giftWhen this all would end.
