                    [Summary] => People are still talking about the late former Air Transportation Office chief Panfilo Villaruel with some branding him a hero, and others, a man with a lost cause. Among the emails I received was this letter from a good friend from Los Angeles, California, Perry Casapao. I mentioned him in my column last Thursday, but an error in transmission led to the deletion of quotation marks from his statement, his statement appeared to be mine. Perry’s conviction was that Villaruel was killed unnecessarily; I hate to grab the credit for his ideas.

(sg) Ricardo Catchillar, before dawn Saturday.


"I condole with his family," she said in a statement read over radio station dzMM.

When it was over minutes later, the bodies of the former Air Transportation Office chief and his aide, Navy Lt. (sg) Richard Gatchillar, were brought down from the control tower of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal II covered with yellow blankets.


Blood dripped onto the floor of a van and the street. One pair of feet wore brown socks. The other was bare.

Roco said Villaruel echoed the complaints of junior military officers who seized a ritzy residential condominium in the heart of Makati City’s business district in July.
