If you were Gen. Angelo Reyes would you commit suicide too?

Hello theadvocate, That Proves one thing HE's GUILTY! along with the Generals involved in this AFP scandal! they all SHAME ME! most specifically the former President Arroyo, this proves that the last administration did something really SHAMEFUL and she should be the next target for scrutiny Well, If am a "coward" and couldn't accept going to JAIL? Yeah I might. but am not these Generals! the fall of our military and other Government agencies proves their corruption..

good day advocate... I have to say that what former Gen. Reyes did was way immoral. It only showed the Filipinos what kind of idiot he is. He made a fool out of our armed forces by spending millions for his own luxury. What he did not realize is that he could have cleared his conscience by doing the right thing, and take the just penalty because of what he had done. NO offense for the Reyes supporters, but if this is the kind of leader that we ought to keep for the years to come, then his streak of corruption would have continued. This man did not only lost his integrity, but his credibility and dignity as well. He used to be calm and strong as a leader, but now, as the issues come for him from every side, he did not at least man himself up to face these allegations. If ever he claims himself to be a Christian, he could have faced the Senate once more and be that man who is willing to take the consequence of his actions. I never wished to be anyone like him. If I have to be strong, then I'll be strong all the way and gather whatever strength I could get from my family and supporters.

It's really hard to say. Maybe he was really in a very intense situation that he could not handle it anymore. He was not thinking straight. I really don't know what to do if I were in his shoes. But to think that he was a God fearing person and he did that, I think he did make a mistake when it comes to the commandment of God.

hi theadvocate, there are so many speculations why he did it.. or did he do it because someone told him to? we never thought someone so intelligent as Reyes would do such a thing. but because he did it, now he can no longer testify against his superiors. i guess that is what he was trying to avoid. but no matter how much he wanted to protect the hands that feed him, he still have hurt so many others, especially his family and the people who believed in him i believe myself to be strong.. but like they say, depression is such a great enemy .. and we cannot fortell the future. so my honest answer, i do not know if i can do it. i do believe that it is a grave sin.. but if i get into a very deep kind of depression, i am not sure if i can still think of what is wrong or right. ann

If I were Gen. Reyes, or at least have the qualities as tough military general. Graduated top of the class. Tough in making decisions, would I take my own life? Probably No, and probably yes! Why No? If I were as tough and intelligent as Gen. Reyes, who upholds the name of his mother. If the accusations thrown against me had no truth behind it, then it would be easy to weather these smear campaigns out. After all, Gen. Reyes still has the needed machinery to defend himself. At his age and accomplishments, why would he suddenly end his life, if there's no truth behind the accusations? On the other hand, if I were under extreme pressure-- including threat to my family if I say something -- then probably, in order to protect my family, I would take my life.
