====fyi==== ....These conversations have apparently been recorded by members of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines or ISAFP. The wiretaps were supposedly done on the instructions of high-ranking ISAFP officials. There are various theories as to why the wiretapping was ordered. One is that the officials wanted to keep an eye on Garcillano, to make sure that he would not switch sides and favor actor Fernando Poe Jr. instead. Another is that the officers wanted to protect themselves because they were being asked to help in the Arroyo campaign, and they needed to cover their backs by gathering evidence to show they were doing these on orders from above. Another theory is that the officers were aghast at the extent of the manipulation of the vote and wanted to record the fraud.
There have been questions as to why the recording is being released now rather than last year, at the height of the controversy over the elections. What we have found out is that the CDs containing the conversations found their way to various opposition members last month. The reason the recording was leaked now, according to Senator Rodolfo Biazon, appeared to be linked to internal feuds within the ISAFP. Some factions within that once-feared military intelligence unit apparently wanted to use the tape as a leverage against the plan of AFP Chief of Staff Efren Abu to clip ISAFP's wings by putting its Military Intelligence Groups under the control of the AFP's five area commands. Under this setup, the ISAFP chief loses most of his powers, his functions becoming purely administrative rather than operational. (Check the Philippine Star's report on the ISAFP reorganization.) Yesterday, the papers reported the replacement of the current, controversial ISAFP chief, Brig. General Marlou Quevedo. An Arroyo loyalist and the president's erstwhile senior military aide, Commodore Leonardo Calderon, was named to the post. Calderon was also reported to be Mrs. Arroyo's relative. When asked, Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita told reporters, "I do not know if Commodore de Leon is a relative of the President. I have no personal knowledge." Calderon, a graduate of Philippine Military Academy Class of 1976, was promoted to commodore rank only in April. He is also the brother of Deputy Director Oscar Calderon, the Philippine National Police chief for operations.... ====///==== --- In [email protected], David Quitoriano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The web is always an available resource... > > try it from my site http://go0dspeed.multiply.com/music/item/1 > > Read the full transcript here > http://www.defensive-thinking.com/gloriagate/complete-transcript.pdf > > try the ringtone. it's so funny :) > > cheers, > Dave > > spurs wrote: > > >hello...do you have the full transcript of the phone conversation? > >all this time i still don't know what really was said in that phone > >conversation... > > > >thanks... > > > >--- In [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > >>here is the much talked about statement from ate glo. well... > >> > >>Full text, Arroyo statement on the tapes > >>First posted 09:57pm (Mla time) June 27, 2005 > >>By INQ7.net > >> > >>WHAT follows is the full text of President Gloria Macapagal- > >> > >> > >Arroyo's > > > > > >>statement on June 27, 2005 on the issue of the tape recordings: > >> > >>Mga Minamahal kong Kababayan, > >> > >>For the last several weeks, the issue of the tape recordings has > >> > >> > >spun out > > > > > >>of control.
