Manaoag Church Endangers, Army, K-9s Withdrawn

By Mortz C. Ortigoza

A resident of Manaoag, Pangasinan, who asked for anonymity, lamented the withdrawal since Monday of the army unit and their K-9 bomb sniffing dogs that guard the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of Manaoag in Pangasinan against Islamist suicide bomber who plan to rip apart to death its parishioners and pilgrims as based on military intelligence reports first week of August this year.

He said that without the K-9s, the devotees where many come from various parts of the country, will be vulnerable in case a radical Muslim, strapped around his body with five to 20 kilos of TNT susmariosep, explodes himself among the worshipers there.

To those who skipped their Chemistry class in high school, TNT is defined as an abbreviation for the explosive trinitrotoluene.

As you can recall, the leaked memo of Northern Luzon Command (Nolcom) based in Tarlac Ctiy said information showed that "a "crusader city" with business centers and "crusader churches" in Northern Luzon are being targeted for terror attack."

At the online news of ABS- CBN published on August 2, 2019 and titled “Manaoag church under tight watch; military memo cites terror threat in N. Luzon” it said: "Crusader cities is the term used by ISIS in describing target areas to fuel what they call 'Bandar Crusade,' or war between Muslim and Christian. While 'Crusader Churches' is their generic term for all historic Catholic Churches," read the memo signed by Navy Col. Glenn Celebrado, Nolcom's assistant chief of Unified Command Staff for Intelligence. Nolcom identified Laoag City in Ilocos Norte, Vigan City in Ilocos Sur, Tuguegarao City in Cagayan and the Manaoag church in Pangasinan as possible targets, saying "the definition fits but [is] not limited to" these places”.

Here’s what I wrote in my two blogs/columns titled “How Suicide Bombers, Muslim Radicals Operate” and “What if Suicide Bombers Wage Wars in Luzon, Visayas” how would a five to 20 kilos of TNT could kill and maim the target crowd Christians the radical Muslim considered as heretics.

In January 27, 2019 Indonesian spouses blew themselves and killed 23 people in and out of the Mt. Carmel Cathedral in Jolo, Sulu and wounded 100 others mostly Christians, civilians and soldiers supposedly well-cordoned ala Israeli security blanket Catholic church.

In the June 28, 2019 twin suicide bombings in Indianan, Sulu, the military confirmed that one of two suicide bombers was Filipino named Norman Lasuca, the first validated case of a Philippine citizen involved in such an attack. 

Eight people, including the bombers and three soldiers, were killed while 12 others were wounded in the incident.

Here’s what I quoted on the book’s Son of Hamas how a five to twenty kilos of TNT could damage people around it:

“And then on June 1, at 11:26 p.m, a group of teenagers were standing in line, talking, laughing, and horsing around, eager to enter a popular Tel Aviv disco known as the Dolphi. Most of the kids were from the former Soviet Union, their parents recent emigr’es. Saeed Hotari stood in line, too, but he was Palestinian and a little older. He was wrapped in explosives and metal fragments”.

The newspapers did not call the Dolphinarium attack a suicide bombing. They picture it a massacre. Scores of kids were ripped apart by ball bearings and the sheer force of the blast. Casualties were high: 21 died; 120 wounded.

“No suicide bomber had ever killed so many people in a single attack,” Mosab Hassan Yousef cited to writer Ron Brackin who wrote the book’s Son of Hamas. Mosab is the son of the terrorist organization’s founder Hamas Sheikh Hassan Yousef.

 The Army’s withdrawal of their troop and the K-9s could be their failure to appreciate the motivation of these suicide bombers to wreak havoc in the Minor Basilica and other crusader churches in Northern Luzon as cited by the leaked intelligence reports.

These suicide freaks, especially the male Muslims, are motivated with the 72 virgins supposedly gift from Allah in heaven where many of them want to be a martyr.

In their mind this gruesome death that “annihilate” those heretic Christians around them will reward them with six - dozen of these virgins who probably look like South African and American actresses Charlize Theron and Filipino “looker” Carla Abellana to copulate.

Mate with six - dozen of these virgins? Son of a gun I could not do it even if I will become immortal. I still fear I’ll die with exhaustion just like that octogenarian mayor in Pangasinan who died of heart attack copulating in a motel with his sexy young secretary.

With the infamous ningas cogon (idiom which describes someone who is only doing well, in whatever it is that they’re doing, during the beginning) of the Filipinos that afflict these soldiers at the Philippine Army's 702nd Infantry Brigade in Camp Lt. Tito B Abat based near the Minor Basilica (if there was any truth to the information I got from my source), parishioners and pilgrims my God have the Sword of Damocles hanging above their heads.

Calling the attention of Malacanang and Camp Aguinaldo. Look what hath your soldiers had done at this crusader church and its devotees.
