Manong Basilio Pooten is not a graduate of PMA but it didn't make him a lesser military. Being a cousin, I am really proud of him and am sure all the Cordillerans or the Filipinos I should say. Thanks Chyt for txting me about this.

Hi Anonymous,Ay kasjay. Schoolmate pay gayam hehe. Thanks for the info :-)Hi Ellen,Thanks and thanks again for blogging about him. Wow, that picture would be worth preserving :-)Hi Trublue,I'm sure he will be glad to be seen as a representative of the Cordilleras.

Major Basilio Pooten is from Sagada and Besao, Mt. Province. His father was the late educator James Pooten and his mother was from Besao Proper (of the Bagano family). We are very proud of Mng Basilio because we know he did what he did with full understanding that he took a great risk. He exposed his military career to certain peril and knew he had nothing to gain. This lends his act a thick and

Imbag met ta adda pay ti good products from PMA, haan nga puro reject nga nateng kasla da Esperon ken Palparan who abuse the term 'obedience' and blindly obey the evil President Gloria...Otherwise, we should abolish the PMA from the Cordilleras as it keeps churning out one rotten general after another...

Someone told me, "People from the mountains are near the "gods". They commune with trees and talk with the birds. They humbly till their soil with their own hands. They really are people with good hearts." Agpaysun sa piman!"I-share" yu man ni Major Pooten and others. "I-Cordilleran" kunayu tapnu mairanod kami nga IBenguets :-)

First I thought he was from Bauko so I checked with my cousins and they also confirmed he is our townmate. But I'm sure he would want to be called "ICordilleran" to represent the whole region.The kind of leader we need to spearhead "Project Halsema". Most engineers were failures, so maybe a good decent LAWYER is the answer or the JESSE we've been waiting for.Wish him more success now and in the

Wow, what is it in your place that breeds men of honor and courage?If I have a change in one of the court martial hearings, I'll get a picture of four of them together - Maj. Pooten, Capt. Ruben Guinolbay, Capt. Dante Langkit, and Capt. Joey Fontiveros.
