Trillanes names Reyes as one of Garcia’s ‘principals’

MANILA, Philippines—Senator Antonio Trillanes IV finally named former Armed Forces Chief of Staff Angelo Reyes as one of the “principals” of a former military comptroller, who has been charged with plunder for allegedly amassing P303 million worth of bank accounts and properties.
“He (Reyes) asked me to name names, and I'm naming him as what was told by Colonel (George) Rabusa,” Trillanes told reporters on Tuesday.
“(I'm naming Reyes) as one of the principals behind General Garcia and General (Jacinto) Ligot,” he said, referring to another former military comptroller when Reyes was AFP Chief of Staff from 1999 to 2001.
It was Garcia who took the place of Ligot while Reyes was appointed Defense Secretary in 2001.
When the controversy surrounding the plea bargain agreement that government prosecutor had entered into the plunder case of Garcia, Trillanes claimed that a powerful man was fronting for Garcia when he amassed his alleged ill-gotten wealth.
Reyes immediately denied insinuation that he was the man and even challenged the senator to name names.
He repeated this challenge in a letter to Trillanes dated January 14 and published in a national broadsheet this Tuesday.
“In the interest of truth, justice and fairness, I believe the good senator must now identify who this powerful person is,” said Reyes in the letter.
“And knowing you to be a forthright and just person, I am confident that when you do name this powerful person, you would be able to substantiate the allegation,” Reyes added.
In naming Reyes as one of Garcia's”principals,” however, Trillanes gave no other details, except when asked if it should be Reyes, who should take the place of Garcia.
“Yes,” said Trillanes, responding to questions of reporters.
Trillanes also offered no apologies when told that Reyes was hurt when he told during last week's hearing in the Senate that the former AFP Chief of Staff has no reputation to protect.
While he acknowledged the time honor tradition of the upper class and under class relationship in the Philippine Military Academy, Trillanes said he had to set this aside during the hearing because Reyes was trying to harass Rabusa.
Rabusa had accused Reyes in that hearing of allegedly receiving not less than P50 million send off money when he retired in 2001, aside from the P5 million that he supposedly received a month from the provisions for command-directed activities (PCDA) fund.
Reyes immediately denied Rabusa's allegation.
But Trillanes insisted that Rabusa was a “very credible witness” because he was an “insider.”
“I believe in the coming weeks, we will be uncovering more such corruption committed by these people particularly those senior officers during the time of GMA (former Presidet Gloria Macapaga-Arroyo,” the senator said.

At the height of his career, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King gave 450 speeches and traveled more than 325,000 miles per year. All told, his speeches and writings fill hundreds of pages, but it’s not all unique material. Throughout his career, Dr. King often reused lines in his speeches, including this one, which popped up in several places throughout the mid to late 1960s.

Whale Watching Spoken Here calls for volunteers

Whale Watching Spoken Here (WWSH) connects trained volunteers with visitors along the Oregon coast during the two major gray whale migrations each year. The program's main objectives are to help visitors see and learn about the whales and other marine life along the coast and to have fun.
There are three training sessions offered each year. Training was held in Newport in November, and will be offered in mid-January in Charleston and mid-February in Ilwaco, Wash. Volunteers must attend one training session before they can serve at a WWHS site. Once trained, they may volunteer any year after, and seasoned volunteers are also encouraged to take refresher courses. Marine biologist Carrie Newell will lead the January and February sessions, and Interpretive Ranger Morris Grover of the Oregon State Parks' Whale Watching Center will instruct. Early registration is advised.
The peak migration times are Dec. 26 through Jan. 1 for the winter and March 19 through 26 for spring, but whales can be seen migrating south from mid-December to late January and north from mid-March to late May. Whales can also be seen at other times of the year. WWHS sites are located all along the coast, from Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center at Cape Disappointment State Park in Ilwaco, Wash., to Ninth Street Beach in Crescent City, Calif.
Training is free of charge for participants who preregister and sign up to volunteer at least two days during a watch. The two-day training includes speakers, a whale watching referance manual and two waterproof field guides. Whale watching T-shirts will be available for purchase at the trainings for $15 each. You can register by e-mail at whale.watching@state.or.us or call (541) 765-3304. Oregon and Washington state parks offer free campsites for WWSH volunteers and there are free state park reservations available for training weekends. For free Oregon campsite reservations, not including yurts and cabins, call Gretchen Mills at Reservations Northwest at (888) 953-7677. If you prefer to pay for a yurt or cabin, or to make other Oregon reservations, call (800) 452-5687 or log on to reserveamerica.com
For free Cape Disappointment reservations, for training and volunteering at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, contact Tracy Zuern, Washington State Parks, at (360) 642-3078.
