Mariano backpedals, claims he’s misquoted

By Mario J. Mallari and Benjamin B. Pulta 07/20/2011

Facebook rebel retired Marine Col. Generoso Mariano denied links with former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo, as insinuated by Malacañang, or to any other politicians in his message calling for a change in government but seems to be now opting out as he claimed he was taken out of context in his video clip that went viral in a social networking site.
Through fellow Marine officer, retired Col. Ariel Querubin, Mariano also welcomed an ongoing investigation against him by the Navy leadership following the cropping up of the video last Friday.
“On reports that I am a puppet of GMA (Arroyo’s initials), Bert Gonzales, politicians, etc., that’s totally untrue and figment of imagination. God bless us as a people and as a nation,” Mariano said in a text message sent to Querubin.
