I read that he did not want his parents there coz he doesnt want them to feel bad. Anyhow, i also believed in Lance Corporal Daniel Smith's innocence, he is wrongfully accused. I wish the Smith family would visit him there to show their support.

Yes it's true. Daniel is the real victim here. It doesn't mean that the "oppressed" is a Filpina and that we should believe in all she says, regardless of race, I am on the truth's side... Although I don't really know the whole truth, I believe in Smith. For me, truth is what I believe.

I hope I could reach Mrs. GRace Santos... I would really like to join the group.

hello there, like you, i have a strong belief that lance corporal daniel smith did nt raped nicole. Maybe it was just a lie of nicole just to get an attention to see if Philippines will help her her cry when she cries out rape. I dont believe her, wish I could help Daniel too.
To Daniel, you're always in my prayers, have faith and patience because God will answer your prayers and He will bring justice to you and punish the wicked.
God bless,

I hope you ladies understand what your talking about. Not all victim's of rape enjoys what their perpetrator's doing. When a person say's its a foul, we should listen to what he/she says. Let the court gathers information and decides the verdict.

Don't LOOK on a person's angelic face because most of it are great pretenders.

I HOPE THAT IT WILL NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU ALL OR TO YOUR SIBLINGS IN THE FUTURE.

Truly and very well said Athena and Dolly! Hooray to you!This NICOLE chick cries rad after putting a condom on her "rapist"? Give me a break. You chose the behavior,you choose the consequence.The only reason why she got mad was they tossed her out of the van afyter using her-and why not? Pag putatsing ka naman eh-that's what you deserve! Good for her.Why didn't someone just run her over while she's staggering on the road-cause if I ws there,I would have...

Nicole (or whatever it is!) said, "I am only fighting for my dignity and that of my family". Did she even think of that when she sat on Cpl Daniel Smith's lap drunk? Or when she went with 4 men? Or when she put the condom on Daniel Smith? Or when she said to Daniel Smith-in the van, "Are you finished already?"
It was only when they got rid of her with her pants around her thigh that she said, "oh by the way,I was raped".Where is the brain of this woman if ver there's any!!!

I took this quote from the abs-cbn newspaper, I think if you read some of the comments you will see the majority of filipino people know the truth here. nicole was drunk and any young women as drunk as they are making her out to be would have been vomiting. The only possible way she wouldnt vomit is if she had a high alcohol tolerance which leads me to believe this is her lifestyle, but they refused to allow a background check . By the way, I also believe the police were ready to charge her with prostitution so she had to leave the word rape in the report. It saddened me to see the troops leave the bicol region .
Considering the thousands upon thousands of both recorded and unrecorded rape cases by Filipino men, against Filipino women each year - why dont we go pick one of these immoral, dirty minded, white monkeys in that crowd, drag him through the dirty cirkus of hanging out accused persons in the media (presuming being innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law)? After all it is so good for the self esteem and national pride to feel having power ower things outside the little kinder garden called the Philippines!
Lets brainwash our proud kababayans with sirang plaka repetitions by sleezy media repporters that have absolutely no nuts, guts or interest in reporting about the thousands upon thousands of rapes comitted by Filipino men each year! That is not at all good for our self esteem! This whole Nicole farce all reminds me of the napaka typical Filipino mentality that ” I’d rather spend my life destroying other peoples lives than so that they are down at my low level, than me trying to improve my own life to the better like my neighbor did! Kaingitan! Ingit sa kapwa!
So yes my kababayans - lets continue selling your kababayans at bars, night clubs and sleezy sing along joints on every street corner in every City!!!! Letting them get STD’s, hepatitis and so on, the owners of the joints evading paying taxes that would anyway just be stolen by our officials so that these girls can have no free medical attention once they are sick - mga kababayan ko!
Maybe we should learn to clean our own door steps before we clean those of others!!! We all know that times are tight financially, but spreading like Nicole did and then shouting “foul” afterwards is truly incredible!
Its truly incredible what Manoy will do nowadays to blackmail white monkeys for money or simply just get the chance to feel superior or in control of this half sunken renegade bangka in the middle of the rough sea, called the real world!
This whole Nicole farce is by far too cheap and sounds like the stories you hear and see again and again in this country - that never leads to manoy rallying against his thousands of kababayans that commit rape and end up in the streets burning Filipino flags (as has been done Stars and Stripes, in this case!), not to mention the unparalled coverage by the most malicious and dirty minded media in the world!(No wonder why so many media are killed in this country each year, considering all the slander and malicious allegations they can come up with and brainwash the crowds with). Wonder how Filipinos would feel and react to Americans burning three Stars and the Sun? Just a cheap and disrespectful way by some people - that have a low self esteem - to feel suprior to those others…. which in turn again leads us back to kaingitan ni manoy., mas mabuti pa sirain ko nalang sila! Mahirap at kakaiba talaga ang ugali ng Pilipino, no? Kaya mahirap ang Pilipinas - palagi sinisira natin ng kapwa! So lets punish that white monkey scape goat so at least once in a while we can fool ourselves into a false national identity and have something in common other than Monkey Pigoy - ohh sorry, I meant Manni Paquio!

Best decision a Philippine court ever made. Punish the "ugly American" to set a precedent for other "ugly Americans" who want to practice savage behavior. Let other prisoners wear a condom and go bananas on his ass.

Dave: You are such a hypocrite! you are located in the United States CA, Monterey Park as it says.

DAM! There you are sucking up that American lifestyle surrounding yourself in “ugly Americans Animals”, to hell with you! Hypocrite! Hypocrite! Hypocrite!

Or maybe you already used a fake rape case to get your visa as well?

Just to set a few records straight, the Americans departure from Subic was a tragic loss to the economy of Olongapo and the Philippines, hundreds of thousands left unemployed and many reports of children being sold into prostitution because so many Filipino families no longer had incomes and became desperate.
Subic Bay Freeport recently both Casinos on Subic Bay Freeport closed and the infamous Neptune bar (where Suzette Nicolas picked up Daniel Smith) strung up huge signs across the front of the building to welcome US Servicemen, but there didn’t seem to be many takers “where are the tourists now?”- Indeed….

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Gemini

You're in a warm-hearted and generous mood today, especially when dealing with loved ones and members of the family. You want to give them as much of your time as possible, and also to do anything else that will keep them happy. The only snag will come if you're trying to spread yourself too thin and you end up making promises that will be difficult, if not impossible, to keep. You may forget all about them but other people won't.
