Very nice site! is it yours too
Kining hitaboa klaro nga gibaligya si Clarete sa iyang kontra?Tiaw ba god nga magsmuggle ug armas sa Visayas ug gipaatangan sa taga coastguard ug medya? Noon di man ta makatumbok kinsa? Kini gikan jud ni sa taga Mis. Occ ang nagtip ani? Ug lagmit usab nga dakong kwarta ang na-involve ani aron lang gyod nga madaot ang pagkatawo ni Clarete? Noon nasolbad na kining hitaboa. Apan ang kadaot ni Clarete nagpabilin. Usa ra ang intention ani aron lang pagdoot ug pagdaot sa iyang pagkatawo aron mawad-an ug salig ang mga tawo ug ang nakaila kaniya? Apan sayop ang naghimo ani kay misamot noon ang kaikag sa iyang mga suporter sa paglaban kaniya? Kaya mo yan ERNIE!
kung imong tukion ang tip sa coastguard ” gun smuggling” kuno. kung kins nag tip klaro nga dautan ang intention. si clarete wala biya gagamit ug red plate. dili abusado. unya sakto biya ug papeles. ang gi report pa guyd tambak-tambak kuno armas pag subay sa coast guard 3 ra diay puro pa gud lisensyado
Mao ni ang dakong kataw-anan. Nganong namatikdan man dayon ang tulo ka armas? Labon ang daghang ilegal nga armas sa ozamiz di man makit-an. Duda ko sa intelligence sa source sa “intelligence” report.
