Whoever thinks “cavalier” solely refers to graduates of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) must know that as noun, the archaic definition refers to “foot soldiers, horseman, equestrian and cavalryman.” As adjective it means “offhand, indifferent, casual, dismissive, insouciant, unconcerned; supercilious, patronizing, condescending, disdainful, scornful, contemptuous; informal couldn’t-care-less, and devil-may-care.” All of which exactly describe Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV’s upperclassmen at the PMA.
Consider the text messages going around indicting Trillanes, the likes of “Let us not forget the uncavalier act of Antonio Trillanes that humiliated and shamed Cav Reyes to the public. When the proper time comes, let every cavalier judge Antonio Trillanes and put him where he rightfully belongs. The time of reckoning is about to come.”
There’s also supposed to be a plan to embarrass him further with a streamer in an upcoming PMA reunion, to read: “Let’s boycott Trillanes in the next national election. Be a wise voter!”
