Four honor guards of President Aquino

I was also impressed by the four guards. They greatly deserve the commendations the senate is going to give them. Now let me just name these four men of honors: PO1 Danilo Maalab Pfc. Antonio Cadiente Airman 2nd Class Gener Laguindan Navy Petty Officer 3 Edgardo Rodriguez Job well done officers!

Yes, I saw that too via live streaming since I only depend on gmanews.tv since I am living abroad. To see what is happening there makes me feel that I am also there even if I am far. Was so glad that I was able to glimpse the last moment. I saw those 4 guards and they really did the very best because it was really so difficult standing without any movements at all. I can read most people credit those 4 standing men because they have been standing for 9 long hours. I hope they get something like a Boracay vacation or any commendations for that. Happy Mylotting.

Hi jlamela! I think everybody was impressed by the tenacity and patience that were shown by the 4 honor guard. They were instant celebrities, where every newspaper carried their pictures (of course with the casket of President Cory Aquino). It's really amazing how they have kept their composure despite of the rain, the long hours of procession, even the call of nature. I was surprised by the discipline they have shown. One of the incident to showed this discipline was the story of the policeman. He was hit many times by the coins thrown by the people as tradition to the casket of President Cory eventhough he saw them coming to him. He did not docked or moved his head to avoid the coins because it is against the rule of the honor guard. They have truly kept their sworn task and job. Have a nice day!

I think all those watched them were really impressed and eventually, they are now instant celebrities. Anyway, I also think that Filipinos love people who work hard and do their best. I was wondering if only all of us will do the same, our country will be a better place to live in. Thanks!

Yes iwas so impressed with the four honor guards,actually they are instant celebrties now and given cash incentives by Ex-Senator Butz Aquino,they have done a good job.

yes jlamela i am also impressed on those people... to think that they are there for so many hours without eating, without moving! woah! impressive! its very nice to see them...they are really great that they have never been distracted with the environment... i think the four just get a recommendation for a promotion...well i heard the police will be promoted to PO2 and the other three will gonna get honors from the military for their job well done...well i guess they just deserve it!

Definitely they deserve the honor and recognition for that 9 hour trip. That is a feat that they have to endure to serve their former commander in chief. Well I guess it is paying off as they were on the news already and they are being interviewed here and there and it seems they are enjoying this moment. But I doubt it if they would last that long. they would return to their normal duties as soldiers and police. But they can have this as good memories that they have in the whole of their careers and there will be no more opportunities like this that may happen for sometime again.

Yes definitely. They went beyond the call of duty, standing still for almost 10 hours I think from 11am to 8pm, braving the rain, the heat and the coins that come their way without flinching, without faltering. No food, water (except for the rain) and no going to the bathroom. I'm proud of the discipline they possess, one of them even got hit, or maybe it was all of them that got hit by coins thrown their way. Yes, I believe that commendations are called for their actions, and I know that they will be given such from their mother units. That day more than ever am I so proud to call myself PINOY. ^_^

I too was impressed by them. It's so amazing how they did that sacrifice. Standing and motionless for 9 hours is no joke. Those four honor guards deserve a lot of applause and honor. They did their job very well. That was so difficult and if I were to choose, I'll rather run for 8 hours than to stand without any motion for that long period of time.
