Better Brace For The Possibility That Antonio Trillanes IV May Get Buried At The Libingan Ng Mga Bayani One Of These Days

This is really the stupidity of #SilentNoMorePH where they finally decide to set Antonio Trillanes IV as a possible "new hero". Whether we like it or not but there's the tendency in the Philippines to make heroes out of the wrong people. Let's face it how can they declare Filipinos who were rightfully executed for certain crimes such as murder and drug trafficking as heroes? Not to mention, why is it that Ninoy Aquino was even made a hero in the first place when all he did was talk and talk -- not to mention he like Trillanes was a convicted mutineer? The only difference is one's under a real dictatorship (Marcos) while the other is fighting an imaginary dictatorship.

I don't know what's in the minds of those who are now suggesting that Trillanes' police security is moved to get him assassinated or that it was President Duterte who supposedly killed Mayor Antonio Halili? Hmmm blame it on Digong as the most convenient scapegoat? This would be the question -- what would be the possible impact if ever that Trillanes should ever become the next Ninoy Aquino?It doesn't necessarily mean he will get arrested and convicted for mutiny but to suffer the same fate that Ninoy died of -- which was to be shot by an assassin's bullet? In Trillanes' case, it may be a random shooting or an irritated guy who may want to shoot him so he can't say his tirades forever.

My suggestion is that Trillanes IV may get his burial at the Libingan Ng Mga Bayani. The reason why Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr.'s burial there was approved by the Supreme Court was because politicians and soldiers may get buried there.  Trillanes IV started off as a soldier and now he's a senator from the Nacionalista Party -- just like Marcos Sr. who was a soldier (during World War 2) and he became senator and persident. The current law would even permit it and he's got both records as a soldier and a politician. In fact, I don't even care if he ever gets buried there next. Only thing is his possible assassination may not get the intended effect of a new EDSA, his wife Arlene Orejana-Trillanes may no longer work as the next grieving widow (and possible new Cory Aquino) -- it may in fact cause a national day of celebration instead.
