On the 22nd anniversary of People Power One and on the second anniversary of their incarceration for allegedly planning to withdraw support from Gloria Arroyo, the 28 officers led by Maj. Gen. Renato Miranda and Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim, issued the following statement:

We are soldiers. We are also citizens. We, together with our families, are so much a part of the community more than our beloved organization. We are not faceless automatons incapable of thinking, feeling and discernment. We feel the pain of our neighbors as much as their anger. We see their oppression and sense their hopelessness. Of course, their happiness is ours too. But they are not!

Lahat na nakaka-usap ko na nakikiramdam sa nangyayari ngayon sa sitwasyon pampulitika sa bansa ay nagsasabi na magbantay at maghanda ng husto sa susunod na linggo. “Mula February 25 hanggang March 31,” sabi ng isang source.

Padami-dami na ang mga sector na lumalantad at nagpapahayag ng kanilang galit sa ginagawa ni Gloria Arroyo at ng kanyang mga alipores na pagyurak ng demokrasya sa Pilipinas. Ang mga dating walang paki-alam katulad ng mga negosyante sa Makati, mga pare at madre at mga kabataan ay sumasali na.
