Unworthy of Our Respect: A Clear Message from the 37th Commandant of the Philippine Marine Corps - Vicente Blanco III
A bold and clear message has been delivered to all Marines! It is deeply unfortunate that during a recent press conference called by a private lawyer, several individuals attempted to actively associate themselves with the institution.
Let's set the record straight using confirmed facts and the official release from the leadership:
🛑 Out of the 18 individuals presented at the said press conference, the Philippine Navy has confirmed that at least three (3) of them were never part of the Marines or the Navy. They have absolutely no record of service!
🛑 As for the rest, the majority were separated from the service under conditions of dishonorable discharge, while only a few managed to retire in good standing.
🛑 Anyone who was Discharged Without Honor has no right to invoke the famous adage "Once a Marine, Always a Marine" to justify or lend credibility to their actions.
🛑 According to the leadership's information, the involvement of the 3 retired Marines implicated in this matter was entirely of their own choosing and done of their own personal volition. There was no use of force, threats, intimidation, or promise of rewards.
🛡️ As an institution with a time-honored Marine ethos and strong esprit de corps, we should look with disdain upon opportunistic groups or individuals trying to link their actions to being a "true Marine."
👎 As stated by Maj. Gen. Vicente Blanco III, these individuals are "unworthy of our respect."
The stance of the 37th Commandant, Maj. Gen. Vicente Blanco III, is crystal clear. The identity of a Marine is strictly anchored in honor and discipline, and it cannot be exploited by individuals driven solely by personal interests.

TO ALL MARINES
Reiterating our time-honored Marine ethos and our unquestioned and strong esprit de corps, an individual who was Discharged Without Honor could not claim the adage “Once a Marine, Always a Marine” to lend credence to his actions.
It is unfortunate that in the recent presscon called by a private lawyer, 3 retired Marines involved themselves. Barring use of force, threats, intimidation, and/or promise of rewards to them (3 retired Marines), based on the information available to us, we understand that their involvement was entirely of their own choosing, and that they did this on their own personal volition and as such, we should always look with disdain against opportunistic groups or individuals trying to link their actions as being true Marine - they are unworthy of our respect.
- Maj. Gen. Vicente Blanco III, 37th Commandant of the Philippine Marine Corps
Naka maximum FAKE NEWS mode na ang DDS Machinery para naiba ang usapan sa ating lipunan, dahil lumalabas na lahat ng baho ng mga Duterte sa ICC at sa impeachment.
Mga kababayan, Huwag magpabudol at magpabulag!
Ginagago na tayo ng mga Duterte!
The property in Paoay is not PBBM’s private residence. It is Malacañang of the North, a government-owned property.
The ones from Paoay are the in-laws of Sara Duterte.
So, the question is:
If the Marines indeed delivered maletas full of cash, who exactly did they deliver them to?
Because it clearly wasn’t the President.
😂
CHIZ ESCUDERO HAS BEEN PLAYING GOD IN THE SENATE. He delayed the impeachment, and also threatened to delay the budget.
Do not forget how Chiz delayed Sara Duterte’s impeachment and dribbled it to the SC until it was dead and archived.
In Zaldy Co's letter, he explained how Chiz Escudero pulled the strings, and adjusted the budget on his whim.
All these budget cuts were reallocated for Escudero's ₱200B "senate's share" in the guise of BUDGET INSERTIONS
Luckily, thru HoR's effort, the ₱16B budget for Military was spared, as well as ₱5.4B for the ASEAN meet.
Agencies thay were affected were:
DepEd
₱10B computerization program
₱1.6B for recruitment budget
PhilHealth
₱74B subsidy removal
(PhilHealth's subsidy removal was Escudero's idea)
DPWH
₱16B cut on projects w/c he declared as errata
Admin Infra projects
₱16B slashed for road rehabilitation in Quezon and Batangas
Looks like we finally got to bottom of who was behind the massive cuts to the PhilHealth and Education budget.
NO OTHER THAN 🧀 CHEEZY BOI ESCUDERO HIMSELF! 🤡
Over P10 billion was cut from the Department of Education was cut. The DepEd struggled to fit 20,000 teachings posts because of it.
Worse, Cheezy Boi cut P74 billion from PhilHealth!
Where did the Senate put the cut funds? Why to the controversial infrastructure programs we're all talking about now. Programs that the ICI investigations now show many senators illicitly benifites from!
What a scam. Cheezy Boi needs to be investigated for how he treated our great teachers and harmed the computer programs of millions of Filipino students.

Here's a breakdown of Vice President Sara Duterte's office's recent equipment acquisitions for 2023–2024, including CCTV units, vehicles, computer equipment and other assets, according to the Commission of Audit's latest report for the OVP.
COA’s audit report shows the OVP acquired 13 units of “laptops” worth P3.92 million in total, or about P300,000 each. But this is incorrect, the OVP told https://t.co/EkOhqnDYIK, which says it had submitted a summary that mistakenly referred to “12 donated photocopiers and a desktop computer” as “13 laptops.”
COA in its report also noted an accounting issue involving the valuation of those donated photocopiers. It did not flag the OVP for its other acquisitions.
Also included in the acquisitions are CCTV units worth about P200,000 each, Macbook Air laptops worth over P120,000 each, among others.

Ansabe ni Inday dati, sarsuwela lang daw.. Oh yan, pag napuno yan at pag natapos yan sure kami kayong mga Duterte ang next.. Masyado kayong naghari harian. Si PBBM tatapos ng kawalanghiyaan niyo.
After the failed Nov. 16-18 power grab by the Dutertes-DDS-INC-JIL-KOJC cabal.....PBBM is all set to define the narrative for the remainder of his term in 2028.
Thanks to the enlightened Filipinos, the Marcos supporters and a large section of the Dilawans / Pinklawans. 🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭
