Whistleblower Rodolfo “Jun” Lozada could be the perfect example of how, in this country, people like him who dare spill the beans on wrongdoing get punished, not rewarded. It is a practice that he said must change under the administration of President Benigno Aquino III.
Three years after he faced the Senate as star witness exposing the corruption-ridden contract for a national broadband network, Lozada still faces a slew of lawsuits while the people he has accused of making millions of pesos in commissions have mostly escaped sanctions.
“Masigasig sila sa kakahabol sa kaso ko, eh (They’re determined to pursue the cases against me),” said Lozada, who still faces a P19.5-million malversation case related to the jathropa project of the Philippine Forest Corp. which he used to head. He also faces a graft case allegedly for the anomalous purchase of motor vehicles, fencing materials and other equipment worth P15 million.
The cases were filed by the Ombudsman after Lozada testified in the Senate on the wheeling and dealing behind the $329.5-national broadband project entered into by the Arroyo government with the Chinese firm ZTE Corp.
Lawsuits are just one of the consequences that this year’s batch of whistleblowers—auditor Heidi Mendoza, Col. George Rabusa and Lt. Col. Antonio Lim—have to brace themselves for, Lozada said.
Even as he expressed solidarity with the three, he said, “Whatever drove them to do what they did, I’d like to remind them to hold firmly to it because they will be buffeted by storms of emotions, legal cases, physical threats and everything.”
He appealed to the families of the three whistleblowers to support them. “Once they have decided to carry the banner of truth, life would never be the same again for them,” he said.
“The Ombudsman has filed so many cases against me,” said Lozada, who is up against Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez.
Gutierrez is known to be a close friend of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and her husband Jose Miguel, whom Lozada has accused of having been bribed by ZTE so it could corner the project.
Gutierrez, however, faces the possibility of impeachment for allowing Ombudsman prosecutors to agree to a plea bargain that let Gen. Carlos Garcia, former Armed Forces of the Philippines comptroller, off the hook for plunder.
To further illustrate how skewed justice is in this country, Lozada said his former subordinate Erwin Santos who testified against him continues to be president of PhilForest.
“’Yun ‘yung tao ko na bumaligtad… For me, isa ’yan sa sukatan ko. That’s the fellow na ginamit nina Gloria, nina Atienza laban sa akin (He was the person who turned against me. That is one of my indicators. That’s the fellow Gloria Arroyo and then Environment Secretary Lito Atienza used against me),” he said.
Around this time in 2008, the nation was gripped by the live coverage of the Senate hearings on the NBN-ZTE scandal, much like the hearings on corruption in the AFP that now hold the nation in thrall.
Lozada was then the center of national attention, as he laid the blame on the doorstep of Malacañang, and pointed to the involvement of several government officials, foremost among them former Commission on Elections chairman Benjamin Abalos and former Economic Planning secretary Romulo Neri.
The threat to Lozada and his family forced him to seek refuge with the De La Salle brothers in Greenhills. They stayed there for two years and nine months until the Arroyos were out of Malacañang.
Lozada said he gets a sense of deja vu watching Mendoza, Rabusa and Lim during congressional hearings on the plea bargain agreement entered into by Garcia and the Ombudsman.
He understands the intense emotions that testifying and truth-telling stir up. “For a man to cry was taboo. When I was there, tears would just flow. Literally, you were being broken,” he said.
He said it was his faith that proved his anchor in those difficult times.
It is impossible for a whistleblower to return to the old life, but Lozada said he has a new-found compassion for others. One of the projects he is busy with is e-textbook. He is working with a number of schools in converting textbooks into electronic form to save schoolchildren from the burden of lugging several kilos of textbooks to school every day.
He is also into keeping schools safe by making sure that electrical connections are in order. “If there’s something that I cannot do, it is to be idle. I can be physically limited but it doesn’t mean my mind will stop. My mind continues to create new things,” he said.
Many were expecting that with Aquino now in Malacañang, Lozada would rejoin government. “I have never been offered a position,” he said.
Looking as an outsider, Lozada said he has not seen much action in terms of fighting corruption. “I was expecting a very big war against corruption. Programs that would curb corruption and appointment of people well beyond corrupt practices,” Lozada said.
Borrowing from a famous prayer asking for serenity to accept things that one cannot change, the courage to change things that one is in a position to change and the wisdom to know the difference, Lozada said, “I have learned to accept things that are within my circle of influence and things that are outside my sphere of influence.”
Lozada said he sees the decision of Mendoza, Rabusa and Lim to come out and tell the public what they know despite great risks as “a march of truth against the darkness of corruption. Sana marami pa ang maki-martsa sa amin (I hope that more will join us).”
Case/s for Lozada. No Case/s for Ligot. What on earth is the Ombudsman doing???
While on my way to GSIS last Friday, February 18, 2011, I was asked by the taxi driver who was tuned in to the Senate Hearing. Here’s his question “Eh Ma’am, kung ang populasyon ng Pilipinas ay 90 milyon, tig-magkano po ang bawat-isang Pilipino sa P150 milyon pesos na ibinangko raw?”
Admittedly, I am not a Math genius. But my common sense was not working that time so I told him “Teka Kuya at iko-compute ko sa calculator sa cellphone ko. Ay Kuya, masyado po palang maraming digits hindi po magkakasya sa calculator sa cellphone ko.”
It was only when I got back to our office that I realized how stupid I was with the answer I gave him. Every Pinoy would have received more than a million peso with the alledged P150 million bank deposit.
sinabi mo pa naguilenya,
——————————–
MANILA – The Office of the Ombudsman has been sitting for 3 years now on records that could be used as basis for the filing of a multi-million graft case against former military comptroller Jacinto Ligot, Senator Franklin Drilon said on Friday.
At the resumption of the Senate’s inquiry on corruption in the military, Drilon presented financial records under the name of Ligot, his wife and 3 children, and a brother-in-law.
Drilon said that based on the records, which he obtained from the Makati City Regional Trial Court Branch 61, the retired lieutenant general and members of his family had at least P740 million deposited in various dollar and peso bank accounts from 2001 to 2005.
Drilon said that the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) was able to freeze only P73.6 million of the amount.

It was only when I got back to our office that I realized how stupid I was with the answer I gave him. Every Pinoy would have received more than a million peso with the alledged P150 million bank deposit.
———————
hahaha! maybe we should all line up for this conditional cash transfer, kaysa naman iilan lang ang makinabang sa mga milyones na to, lahat na tayo?
Note “the retired lieutenant general and members of his family had at least P740 million deposited in various dollar and peso bank accounts from 2001 to 2005.”
Kapatid na Jugs,
I think the P150 million which the cab driver asked me was the amount discussed by Ms. Heidi Mendoza deposited sa UCPB.
Yong P740M, yon yong alledgedly amassed by Ligot na hindi pa pala nakakasuhan ng Plunder sa Ombudsman. Instead, forfeiture case lang.
It was only when I got back to our office that I realized how stupid I was with the answer I gave him – naguilenya
You realized right, naguilenya. P150M divided amongst 90M Pinoys would give us only one peso and sixty-seven centavos each. hahaha.;-)
Maliit na amount yan. Studies by the ADB and World Bank and an admission by Mersadista Gutierrez herself, upon receiving the 434M dollar grant from the Millenium Challenge Corp., that one third of the of the national budget goes to corruption.
Yan ang kwentahin natin. Nung panahon ni Putot, One Trillion Pesos lagi more or less ang budget or P333 Billion ang nakurakot (one-third) for each of the NINE YEARS.
P333B/yr x 9yrs = P2.997 Trillion
Kung hahatiin natin yan sa bawat Pilipino,
P2.997T ÷ 90M Pinoys = P33,300 bawat Pinoy
Maraming giginhawa ang buhay diyan. Lalo na yung walang-wala. Tapos ay magkakaroon ng malaking perang umiikot sa ekonomiya upang ipambili ng produkto at serbisyo, lalaki ang mga pabrika, pamilihan, restawran, etc.
Sir Tongue,
Ang b_b_ kasi ng sagot ko sa kanya kasi bakit ko pa gagamitan ng calculator eh P150 million divided by 90 million Filipinos. Kahit Grade Schooler kahit hindi gamitan ng calculator or abacus eh masasagot na agad yong tanong ng mamang taxi driver.
Sabi ko nga, nung ibinigay sa Ombudsman yung naunang pondo ($ 1M yata yun), para mong ipinagkatiwala yung shabu mo sa isang pusakal na adik.
Kung si Ms. Heidi Mendoza ay naaawa sa mga sundalo na dapat nakinabang sa pera ng AFP, ako naman hindi rin mapigilang magmalasakit sa mga kasamahan ko sa paglilingkod sa lokal na pamahalaan. Na ang mga katulad kong rank and file employee ay nagtitiyagang pumila upang magloan saan man may offer ng loan. Pebrero pa lang pero sinasangla na ang mga biyayang matatanggap pa lang ng Pasko.
Ganyan po ang buhay ng isang simpleng manggagawa sa pamahalaan. Yong sa halip na magtaxi ka kapag may research or errand ka sa labas, mag-dyip ka na lang kasi minsan aabutin pa ng almost a year bago ma-reimburse ang pamasahe mo or kaya wala ka nang aantayin kasi hindi daw pwede ang taxi.
Actually, nagui, kung binasa mong mabuti yung post ko, mali pa rin yung calculator mo sa opisina dahil hindi “Every Pinoy would have received more than a million peso with the alledged P150 million bank deposit.”
More than one peso lang! Gets mo na? 😉
Hehehe. Yung magugulang sa gobyerno, cash advance muna, pati pamasahe bago lumakad, kasi mahirap nga raw ma-reimburse. Kung tutuusin, ang mga opisina meron namang petty cash para sa ganyang mga gastusin. Kailangan lang magliquidate agad para mareplenish din agad yung petty cash.
Ngayon, kung merong George Rabusa ang papel sa opisina nyo e dapat mo nang malaman kung sino para sandamukal ang pagkukunan ng pondo.
We’re talking about 150 million pesos NOT 150 million million pesos, so 1 million plus each is illogical…wink!
Ganon siguro talaga mga amo bosing kapag hindi sanay sa malalaking halaga ng pera.
Understood na yan, nagui, sorry kung napagkatuwaan ka. I know what you are trying to say. Sa isang transaksyon pa lang yan. Kung iba-base natin dun mismo sa studies ng ADB/WB malaki talaga, bawat pamilyang may 5 miyembro, biruin mo magkakaroon sila ng mahigit P165,000.
Pasalamat tayo wala pa namang ganyang iskandalo kay Noynoy, at sana, wala nang dumating pa. Kung mabobokya yung mga magnanakaw, grabeng turnaround yan sa ekonomiya natin.
Isang milyong classrooms? Sisiw yan! Kung P100,000 ang isang classroom, P100B lang yan!
Meron pang P230B. Tatlong bagong kalyeng sinlaki ng EDSA? P100B din yan.
Meron pang P130B. Isang first class na ospital kada probinsiya? Kaya na nang natirang P130B yan.
Tignan mo, sa loob lang ng isang taong walang kurakot sa pondo, halos nasolve na yung malaking bahagi problema.
Sa mga susunod na taon, pwede nang ipaayos lahat ng pier at airports, pabahay para sa maralitang taga-lungsod, modernisayon ng militar at pulis, pagtaas ng sweldo ng taga-gobyerno, at maraming-marami pa. Siguradong dadagsa na rin ang puhunang dayuhan niyan.
Malamang magsiuwi na ang mga OFW gaya yung mga doktor, una-unahan na yang magtayo ng clinic kahit sa alanganing lugar dahil may kita naman na kahit di mag-nurse sa Tate.
Kaya ako hindi-hindi ako naniniwalang mahirap ang Pilipinas. Marami lang magnanakaw. Pinababayaan kasi.
TT#16,habang may taong GLD or AD nagtratrabaho sa pinas gobierno,mahihirapan ang sinuman administrastiom ang magpatakbo ng matino,may kaunting suporta pa sa mga may TA sa pagtatago ng katiwaliaan,magiging pangarap na lamang hanggang sa libingan lamang ang iyong nabangit.Buti na lang naka-recover si G.RABUSA sa sakit na TA,marahil nag iisa si H. MENDOZA,pagbubunyag at pati si AT4 ay parang LORO, pinaglalaruan ng mga cavalliers na nagkaroon GLD.
The Ombuds could have used Lozada as its main witness to nail many of the alleged suspects, including Neri, Abalos and could even led to the big Fat One, the suspected mind of all thse shenanigans of the bilions and bilions pesos disappearing evidence including the monies magic or illusions….but being the firewall installed for such purpose, Merci had done her job…she deserves a generous commisssion…such is life and it seems that the bad guys seem to be winning…now the question..what to do? President Aquino…answers please…(comm-group…is there any plan of Actions?)

++++++++++++++
I don’t remember which senator said this, but he said, “the Philippines is a rich country pretending to be poor”.
Despite the persecution, Lozada seems to be in good spirits. He has a good sense of humor which carries him through so much difficulty.
Good luck Mr.Lozada.
Thanks for this Ellen. May I have this shared on my FB account? The video especially? God bless!
Hey Jun, hang in there, Godspeed.
tama si tongue hindi mahirap ang pinas maraming marami lang talaga ang mga magnanakaw.
masigasig sila sa kahahabol sa kaso. baka magnanakaw ka rin kaya may naibutas sayo. kung hindi ka pa tinangkang katayin kakanta ka ba, utang mo sa media ang buhay mo. kung walang media ginawa ka ng abo para walang corpus delicti.
Hangang hanga ako sa katapangan ng pagbubulgar ni Jun Lozada. Kaya nga nagsulat ako ng isang tula na para sa kanya talaga at iyon ay napublish naman sa diaryo. Kung hindi pa ito nababasa ni Jun Lozada ay ito na ang panahon para niya mabasa ang sinulat kong tula na para sa kanya. Makita po ang newspaper clip ng tula sa blog ko sa right side sa Mga Napublish at dito din ay makita kong search o click lang ito

#23 Bayong:
Hindi mo alam ang nasa likod ng pag salita ni Jun. Hindi dahil sa muntik na siyang katayin kaya siya nagsalita. Inamin din ni Jun na siya ay nagkasala.
Yung point mo lang sa about the media that helped him get secured medyo agree ako.
I don’t remember which senator said this, but he said, “the Philippines is a rich country pretending to be poor”.
——————–
Reminds me of one or two presidential candidates. “Have you tried swimming in a sea of garbage…” 🙂
Tongue, sa data mo one thrd lang ang corruption but my cousin who has a close relative who owns one of the big hotels in Makati alleges that almost 80% 0f the monet goes to corruption!
Lozada, just like Rabusa never said he was a saint. He admitted just like Rabusa that he too stole money from the government. But both of them were insiders. Kaya siguro nila nalaman ang mga kaalaman nila sa sindikato ay dahil they are with the bad guys.
If the Malditas gets booted out, which is probably remote at this time as there are still more “used to be allies” of the bansot in tongress and in the senate, Lozada and the other whistleblowers with cases in Ombudsman may be scott free. More allies of the bansot who benefitted from the non-filing of cases against them because of being a bansot crony will be slapped with cases left and right. But on the other hand, more cronies of Pnoy who are likewise crooks and criminals will receive immunity as well under a ne Ombudsman. Kaya nga ang kasabihang “weder weder lang” is so true in our country. Kung sino ang nakaupo, siya ang masusunod. Hopefully, Pnoy will be different. After receiving so many criticisms on Puno, bigla na lang nawala si Puno. Robledo is now calling the shots. So somehow, Pnoy is listening. Let us see if he changes the corrupt system or the corrupt system changes him.
Kaya siguro tayo iniipit ipit ng China ngayon sa tatlong drug mules sentenced to death dahil naisahan sila nila fat pig at Abalos. Nagbigay na ang China ng downpayment sa “cut” nila sa NBN-ZTE eh naudlot pa! So kailangang bawiin ng China ang “advance” na naibigay na nuon kina fat pig and Abalos. They have to get other projects from us in exchange for the commutation of the sentence on the three mules. This way, they can cut their losses. Matalino sa math ang mga instsik!
Sa dami ng grants and aids natin from US, European Union, UN at iba pa, sobrang dami ng pera para sa mga mahihirap kung tunay na gagamitin para sa kanila ang pera. Kaso mo, ang mga nakaupong politiko ang nagaantay lang ng mga perang ito at kadalasan ay ibinubulsa na lang nila ang mga perang ito o may ibigay man sa maliliit, ito ay barya na lang. Pati yung pera ni Marcos na dapat napunta sa mga magsasaka ay naglahong parang bula. For all we know, these went back to the pocket of the Marcoses, siyempre my malaking cut ang mga nag-facilitate ng pagkuha ng pera. It is the culture of corruption that is now very difficult to control. Parang cancer na yan.
We should legislate that for the “suspected” plunderers, there should be immediate sequestration of their assets, freezing of bank accounta and a travel ban for them and those close to them even before the investigation begins. Kaso mo ang nangyayari, investigations take so looonnnnggg. Nai-withdraw na ang lahat ng pera, naibenta na ang mga assets, nakaalis na ang mga kasamang nagnakaw, INIIMBESTIGAHAN pa rin ang kaso. Pagkatapos ng imbestigasyon, no more money and assets can be recovered coz they were all disposed of prior to any investigation.
Any suspected thief should also be removed from his office to avoid destroying the evidence. Kaso mo, hinahayaan na maglagi ang punderer sa pwesto ng matagal. If this plunderer has power over his employees, all records can disappear!
If Pnoy is serious in cleaning up his government, he should employ “spies” in offices suspected to be the playground of the thieves. These employees will just be regular employees but with dual functions. They report to a security arm of the government. Add a little bit more to their salaries and they will be very happy to help and can be hailed as heroes too. Snitches are important to get first hand information in any organization. Jug and those in higher managerial positions know how to value these employees.
Buhay pa ba si Neri (Romulo pa ba o naging Romula na?) at si Abalos?…or nagevaporate na in thin air…or natangay ng Ondoy? hindi pa sila magpakamatay?
Most importantly, these “suspected” thieves should not be given any government position in any capacity!
It may be so old school to have a “suggestion” box in any government office. These boxes should be installed in all visible areas in government offices but not easily stolen. This way, complaints can be made right there on, complete with all the information on who the person involved in the “lagay”, the time and place of the crime no matter how petty it may be. Petty crimes if not corrected will become bigger ones.
The government agencies riddled with corruption should be audited by a private company, not the COA that is also another government agency whose employess already enjoy the perks given to them by the government bosses. There should not be any tenure of these auditors longer than a year. These auditors should be rotated so there will not be any familiarization whatsoever.
Jug, we are really very poor. You are well travelled, you should know!
When we do not have squatters lining up our main streets, trash on the steets are collected on time, government services are delivered to everyone, crime is low and almost all out citizens are somehow employed (not as drug pushers or mules)then we can say we are ok, not rich but ok lang.
Ang magnanakaw kahit maliit o malaki ang ninakaw ay magnanakaw. Ang depresnya lang nila ay ang pag-admit ng guilt and turn this admission into something positive gaya ng pagiging whistleblower. In a way one redeems himself in the eyes of the public even a bit. He makes peace with himself so he can sleep soundly and die with a smile.
Till the end si Reyes nagaaktong malinis, ayun nag-suicide sa tindi ng guilt. If he admitted o kaya he pointed to the powerful person na destinasyon ng kanyang kinurakot sana he’d be enjoying his ‘commission’ and singing of hallelujah to him would have been justified. Tuloy patay na minumura pa, what a lonely death.
Unana, her pig and ilks…round and round in circle na ang tuktok nila pati pwet. The bitch thought that she put up an airtight structure to protect her before she left. Yes, hawak nya ang structure pero hindi nya hawak ang conscience ng tao. Hopefully, Pinas is not lacking of Robusa at Lozada.
hindi mahirap ang Pilipinas…we are rich in our natural resources..kaya lang we were, are, and still is but I hope not will no longer be exploiited by our politicians and other countries like China, Japan at Nanay ni Gloria in other word eva pa? iba pa pala..kaya pag namatay siya ilagay natin kanyang libingan ito ang ilagay na epitaph niya “here lies a liar who lies still”..I have not been to India, but in other countries that I had been to…wala akong nakita na nagpapalimos o baka hindi ko lang napansin dahil na sa bus ako…pero dito sa JC minsan insan mayriin..pag nakakita ako…I don’t give money but I would get a hamburger or sandwich and coffee…but not even a quarter…
sa CCD namin kahapon on the subject of ten commandments..particularly on Thou shall not steal a kid asked what if you borrowed something but forgot to return it..is that stealing? in Pilipino..nakalimutan ko…
hi ellen,
i met jun lozada personally some time ago and had quite a long chat with him, i was impressed with his sincerity. if you meet him again please extend my regards.
Now this is the wrong kind of whistle blower, manipulating the aggrieved father, walang konsensiya talaga.

Corona is whistle-blower, claims Lauro Vizconde
‘CJ warned me Carpio was pro-Webb’
But I was shocked and surprised when the Chief Justice, to the best of my recollection, said the following words: ‘Talagang binabraso at iniimpluwensyahan ni Carpio ang kanyang mga kasama para mapawalang-sala si Webb [Carpio was resorting to arm-twisting and influencing his colleagues so that Webb would be acquitted],’ or words to that effect.”
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20110222-321547/Corona-is-whistle-blower-claims-Lauro-Vizconde
kawawa talga yan si vizconde at hanggang ngayon ngagamit ng mga pulitiko ang pagkamatay ng pamilya nya…
tangnang yang si Corona, patuloy na sinisira ang korte suprema… sinasabi nya bang mas maimpluwensya si carpio kesa sa kanya? at inutil sya bilang chief justice sa pambababraso kuno na ginagawa ni Carpio…siguradong gulo na naman to. tangnang, salot talga tong Gloria!
House to resume hearings on Ombudsman impeachment
http://www.gmanews.tv/story/213616/house-to-resume-hearings-on-ombudsman-impeachment
SC spokesman Marquez, on the other hand, said that because the SC’s ruling has not yet attained finality, the House justice committee must exercise judicial courtesy.
“I think it would be more prudent if the House can respect this procedure. There’s still a 15-day period to file a motion for reconsideration. I think it will be more prudent if we wait for the finality of the decision,” said Marquez
patalsikin na yan! huwag nyong intindihin yang mga SC…
Hindi pa rin ba titigil yang si Lauro Vizconde? Dapat nang hubaran yang sinungaling na iyan. Hindi na ako natutuwa sa pinag-gagawa niya lalong hindi ako naaawa.
– Lagi raw silang nag-uusap ng anak niya.
Paano’ng nagyari yon e kahit kanino ninyo itanong na taga-roon sa parteng yon ng BF, e walang linya ng telepono nung bago mag late 90s?
– Mahal niya ang asawa’t mga anak niya.
Iniiwasan pa rin nyang aminin na hiwalay na sila ng asawa niyang mayaman. Duda tuloy ako sa kanya. Kung mamatay ang asawa niya, wala siyang makukuha ni isang kusing. Sa mga anak lang lahat pupunta ang mana. Lugi naman yung restawran niya sa Tate. Kaya ba kailangang mawala din ang dalawang anak para sa kanya lang mapunta ang mana? Anong nangyari sa inheritance case na yan na kalaban niya ang mga kapatid ng asawa?
– Nung malaman niya ang balita, umuwi daw siya agad nung July 1 at nakarating ng July 2, 1991.
Paano niya nagawa yun? Nagcharter siya ng fighter jet? Kakaputok lang ng Pinatubo at umulan ng abo sa Maynila nung June 30-July 1 (July 1- July 2 sa US time). WALANG FLIGHT NOON!
Naku, ang dami pang kasinungalingan niyang si Vizconde, marami namang nauto dahil magaling magdrama. Kakaduda lalo na yung tatlong katulong na walang narinig, walang nakita habang may pinapatay at nire-rape DAW na tatlong tao sa master’s bedroom.
Yung kapitbahay kong matinik na imbestigador ng Pasay Police ati, hindi naniniwalang doon pinatay sina Carmela at Estrellita, dahil kung dalawang tao na nasa edad ang pagsasaksakin hindi lang ganun ang dami ng dugo. Maliligo sila sa dugo. Nakita ba ninyo yung mga litrato? yung Jennifer lang ang madugo, yung ate at ina, hindi. Impossible?

Vizconde Tuesday held a press conference in Quezon City where his lawyer Ferdinand Topacio distributed copies of the affidavit.
si topacio pala lawyer ng matandang vizconde e.. kaya pala dinadaan na naman sa demoralization job/black propaganda…
i think it is just safe to say that it it’s very uncavalier for these plunderers generals not to share their wealth with the common tao.
Do not steal ’cause the government hates competition.
tounge, bakit nasa tate si vizconde at ang pamilya eh nasa atin? Hindi ba pinitisyon kahit mga anak man lang? Or the wife was rich? Heto ang pinagtatakahan ko sa arrangement nya sa pamilya. At nilalaro nya talaga ang media. Pagod ng maawa ang tao sa kanya.
baguneta, yan nga ang hindi naha-highlight sa media. Hiwalay na sila at dahil mayaman ang asawa, nasa asawa ang mga anak. Kung may negosyo sa Amerika, mas madaling kunin ang mga anak.
Ngayon naman sinisiraan niya si Carpio na nagtulak raw ng acquittal nila Hubert. Ang nagsumbong daw e si Corona mismo at witness pa si Dante Jimenez. Paano yan, nag-deny si Corona, hindi naman siguro ganun kagago o kabobo si Corona na magsusumbong ng kapwa justice sa complainant na araw-araw nasa media. Suicide yun!
Sa Inquirer:
Ah, desperation!
E-pipol power yata ni vizconde ang mga Justices ng Supreme Court.
Kulang lang siguro sa pansin si Vizconde.
the guy needs to learn to forgive
bakit maraming basuras sa ating kalye? may mga ilan sa atin even though educated and can understand “bawal magtapon ng basura dito” ay walang paki..itatapon din. I saw this many times during occasions ng may gatherings tayo sa mga park..many times I would call the attention of the person not to throw the wrappings of whatever they are eating sa kalye at malapit naman ang basuran o kung minsan sa harap pa nila..titingnan lang ako na galit pa…seguro ang mga klaseng tao na ito..ay kulang din sa pansin..
the guy needs to learn to forgive – juggernaut
Forgive himself? There’s this angle that he should also be investigated as suspect. I read it came from one the wife’s relatives.
In a related incident – the Chiong sister’s rape murders of Cebu – the convicted criminal Larrañaga has petitioned for repatriation and serve his sentence in Bilibid instead. After a fierce lobbying by no less than the evil bitch herself (supported by Brenda in the Senate), Larrañaga, being a Fil-Español dual-citizen, became the first and SOLE beneficiary of this treaty that allows prisoners to serve time in the other country.
Reports have it that Larrañaga was regularly beaten by his co-inmates who have the lowest regard for rapist/murderers like him.
Di na siguro matiis yung gulpi, pati na daw yung gangrape ng kapwa niya nakakalaboso. Payag na siyang makasama ngayon yung mga may TB, galis, kurikong, at mabahong mga kakosa niya sa Bilibid. Ang karma nga naman…
Hahaha! Buti nga sa kanya,’kala nya feeling king sya sa preso-Espanyol e masahol pa dun kesa sa Bilibid. Karma, siningil sya ng grabe dahil sa konek sa p-putot!
Tongue, baka nagsisisi na itong espanyol na ito. Kung puede pa siguro mas gugustuhin pa niyang bumalik ulit sa muntinlupa!
Hahahah!

In the late 80’s I had a girlfriend studying in South Western University in Cebu (as well as in Cebu Doctors’ and USC, hehehe) and there were already stories about the Aznar boys and their barkada abducting women (taken by a van and all) and raping them, no one would dare
speak out against these scions of the rich and powerful. Wow, it took 10 years for justice to catch up with them?
Even the hospital that this family owned was a bit strange, years after while working for Zuellig, they would order a lot of Nubaine (vials in boxes of 100’s) usually surpassing Cebu Doctor’s Hospital at times (which has a lot higher bed capacity). It was also during this time that the drug was spreading throughout Cebu. It was strange because at that time it was controlled, it could only be sold to hospitals and selected (also controlled) to some surgeons with clinics. It was strange for me because I signed for the release of every single one of them as I was handling the company that made them (Boots) at the time…
jug, the same story with Pasay General Hospital. At the time of Mayor Cuneta, one of his sons (among the very many, haha), Gener Cuneta, was appointed administrator of the Hospital. His stewardship was attended by overpricing, ghost deliveries and lack of people and equipment to run it efficiently. Instead of doctors, they had “technicians” whose backgrounds are dubious one of my friends had his earlobe punctured in a melee had it sewn up there but later it looked like chicharon bulaklak.
What’s worse, Gener had his doctors write him prescriptions of Valium by the thousands, and other “-caine” painkillers. It was eventually found out after Mercury Drug computerized its inventory system. He was charged with graft and corruption, then later, drug pushing. He committed suicide afterwards.
Meron palang anak si Cuneta na ganun? Ang karma nga naman.
