Woman in ‘Hello Garci’ was Gloria,Senate told

By Antonio de los Reyes and Victor Reyes

'I am sorry'
LT. Col. Pedro Sumayo, former commander of the Military Intelligence Group 21 (MIG-21) which specializes in communications and surveillance, yesterday told a Senate investigating panel that he heard the voice of former president Gloria Arroyo in the raw copy of the “Hello Garci” wiretapped tapes, which he burned on orders of his superior.

Sumayo also told the Senate committees on blue ribbon and electoral reforms which are jointly investigating the alleged fraud during the 2004 and 2007 elections that he was given P900,000 several weeks before his testimony.

Sumayo said former T/Sgt. Vidal Doble Jr. presented to him the audio recordings after the 2004 elections.

He said he listened to a portion of a tape and heard a voice which he recognized as Arroyo’s.

He said he informed his superior, Col. Allen Capuyan, who was then head of the Special Operations Group of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, about the recordings.

“When I told him (Capuyan) about what I’ve heard he told me to destroy the tapes,” Sumayo said. He said he passed on Capuyan’s instruction to Doble.

Sumayo was relieved from the ISAFP this year and is on floating status after being tagged as one of the core members of Project Lighthouse, the ISAFP surveillance team that was responsible for the wiretapping.

Sumayo said he has sought Capuyan’s help to be returned to active service.

He said Capuyan delivered to him, through a certain Col. Zosa, a package with nine bundles of peso bills amounting to P900,000.

Sumayo was referring to Col. Allen Emil Zosa, the former head of Isafp’s Special Operations Group.

Capuyan has retired from military service. He ran and lost for a partylist seat in the 2010 elections.

Sumayo turned over the money to the panel, saying that “I was relieved from J2, it would be unwise for me to touch the money and I was only asking for my career.”

Armed Forces chief Gen. Eduardo Oban said the military may look into Sumayo’s allegations while the Senate investigation is ongoing.

Oban said Sumayo, who is currently assigned with the AFP general headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo, is being recommended for another position.

He encouraged military officers and men who have knowledge in the rigging of the 2004 presidential elections to come out in the open and tell what they know.

    well…Lt.col.Sumayo, huwag ka nang maghugas ng kamay …huli na ang lahat…maski nasoli mo ang pera GUILTY ka pa rin…

  2. parasabayan parasabayan

    Baka ginamit muna ni Sumayo yung 900k sa 5-6. Interest na lang yung isinauli niya.

    Conspiracy talaga itong election cheating na ito. Ginamit ni pandak ang military at comelec officials para mandaya. The big players are not coming out kasi BAYAD na sila and they are enjoying their loot someplace else.

    I’m so sorry nga eh. Ano ba ang gusto ninyo – Gloria

    Ano pa nga ba ang gusto natin mangyari sa kanya?

    Sa akin ay
    1) MAKULONG

    What’s gonna happen to the 2004 election fraud when the Hello Garci tapes were already destroyed?

    The Comelec must summon the ISAFP and ask them about the wiretapping operation, magkabistuhan na.

    Di ba si ‘left and the right’ Bunye ay meron kopya ng Hello Garci, nasaan na kaya yun? Pwede bang iprisinta yun sa korte? Sina Chiz at Manay Ichu kaya, meron din kopya?

    Maglabasan na lahat ang may direktang alam sa pandaraya ni Gloria presidential election 2004, mas maaga syang manghimas ng mainit na rehas mas masaya ang bansa!

    Hindi mahalaga sa akin kung nanalo pa rin si Gloria kung bilanging muli ang balotas, mas mahalaga ang mapatunayan na sya ay nandaya at maparusahan para maging leksyon sa political leaders at mamamayan. Sana mag-mature na ang mga politicians at voters para hindi palaging lito ang kawawang Pinas!

  6. chi chi

    Isampa na lahat ang kaso laban kay Putot, baka patakasin pa yan ni Corona!

  7. chi chi

    Sana kasama makulong ni Gloria si Mike, the little Mike not the big one! Para meron syang laruan sa preso. 🙂

  8. hilman hilman

    dapat na gisahing mabuti si abalos,siya ang chairman ng comelec noon tyak na marami syang alam dito!o baka naman totoo ang bulong ng mga tipaklong na patalun talon sa talahiban na maimpluwensya pa rin daw itong si abalos . . .

  9. parasabayan parasabayan

    Chi, pakiwari ko nga yan ang gustong mangyari ni Corona. Kung kaso ni pandak, napakabilis na aksionan. Kung i-dedeclare ng SC na hindi contitutional yung joint Comelec-DOJ probe, any minute yan walang sakit si pandak. Mabilis pa sa kidlat aalis yan ng bansa. Yan nag gustong mangyari ni Corona. Kaya siya na-midnight appointment to make sure that SC will protect her through and through.

  10. chi chi

    psb, kelangan na sampahan na ng sangkatutak na kaso yang si Putot, tingnan natin kung lahat ay isasalba sya ni Ccrona. Malaking problema ni Corona pag nagkataon na putaktihin ng kaso ang kanyang patrona, malalagay sya sa nag-aapoy na silya.

    I like what’s happening to the pandakekak, nagda-diarrhea na sa takot! Teka hindi kaya imbensyon na naman nila yun para magtagal sa St. Luke’s?! Baka makita na lang sa photo na may kabit na orinola ang pwetan ni Gloria kasi yung starwars get up hindi nabenta.

    Hindi lang si Abalos, pati si Concepcion ng NAMFREL na nag bulag bulagan sa dayaan sa Mindanao.

    Jake,

    Kung bulag-bulagan sa dayaan ang basehan para isama sa kaso, dpat isama din si Sen. Noted at Sen. Oink este, Drilon pala. Sila yung madakdak laban kay Gloria ngayon eh samantalang isa sila sa dahilan kung bakit “nanalo” si Gloria nung 2004 election.

  13. MPRivera MPRivera

    ang gusto kong parusang ipataw kay gloria ay pitikin sa kanyang nunal.

    kung inyong matatandaan ay nangako siya ng SAMPUNG MILYONG trabaho subalit natapos ang halos sampung taon niyang inagaw at ninakaw na ipinandayang poder ay walang nangyari kung SAMPUNG milyong kasinungalingan.

    SAMPUNG MILYONG pitik mula sa SAMPUNG MILYONG taong kanyang binigo sa loob ng halos sampung taon.

    puhunan pa lamang ‘yun. saka na ‘yung tubo.

  14. MPRivera MPRivera

    “……ay walang nangyari kung HINDI SAMPUNG milyong kasinungalingan….”

  15. MPRivera MPRivera

    sumayo should be placed on a “floating status”.

    just like his former cheat-of-staff hermogenes esperon sumayo was a shame to the AFP and the PMA. unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman. a person who dropped his own integrity in exchange of a meager sum of money.

    chi, madali lang naman ang paraan kaya nagtae si goyang. uminom ‘yun ng isang timbang gatas at sinabayan ng tungga ng isang dram na tubig.

    kapag pinaniwalaan ang panibagong sakit kuno na ‘yan at NAPAKATANGA na talaga ng prosecution.

    madaming mabisang gamot pampatigil ng pagtatae, kaya hindi dapat maging napabigat na isyu ‘yan kay goyang.

    kung noon ngang sobra ang kasibaan niya at walang tigil ang paglamon sa kabila ng paghihikahos sa kanyang paligid ay hindi siya dumaing kahit sakit ng tiyan, bakit ngayon?

    kung hindi makuha ng anumang gamot, eto napakasimple lang – dalawang kutsarang NESCAFE, dalawang KUTSARANG ASUKAL at ISANG BASONG TUBIG lamang ang katapat niyan.

    isubo ang kape, sundan ng asukal at tunggain ang isang basong tubig.

    hindi lilipas ang isang oras at tigil ang pagsirit ng puwet niya!

    Unconstitutional daw ang joint panel, according to the one-ball. Mukhang hindi nagbabasa ng dating decision. Matagal nang pinagpasiyahan yan sa kaso sa ibaba.

    The COMELEC can deputize the DOJ prosecutors to find probable cause. If the COMELEC can convey the whole (deputize the DOJ to investigate and find probable cause), then it can certainly convey only a part (share the investigation part with the DOJ, and alone, find probable cause).

    16. Mags, tapos ng mag-tae si Goyang. Ngayon, sabi da ni Mrs. Horny meron daw “possible threat” sa buhay ni Putot kaya dapat house arrest. Mauubusan ng alibi ang kampo ni Goyang, sino ba ang maniniwala na may gustong pumatay kay Gloria e gusto ng mga tao na sa Munti sya manghimas ng mainit na rehas. Hanggang ngayon inuulol pa rin ang sambayanan!

    Is it time that we stop referring to Gloria Arroyo as ex-president?

    I-house arrest mo si Goyang eh ‘di feeling cloud-9 siya ! No way !! Ano ang sabi ni Mrs. Horny…..kailangan ang house arrest kasi merong “possible threat” sa buhay ni Goya ? I mean if there is even one iota of a possible threat (kung meron nga), no amount of shielding will protect Gloria from a determined and resourseful assassin.
    By the way Chi, kelangan din ni Gloria si big Mike na makasama niya sa kulungan para kahit na papaano, merong siyang alagain sa loob. Unless of course “no pets allowed”.

  22. chi chi

    jawo, bwahahaha ka! E di lagot na si Mrs. Plenty kung ang kanyang “pet” ay nasa same Munti room with her and her tiny Mike, hihihi!

  23. parasabayan parasabayan

    Sino ang may gustong mamatay si “little girl”? NO ONE! Everyone wants her to be alive to face the consequences of her SINS! DEATH is so easy. I want to see her squirm and ROT IN JAIL!

  24. chijap chijap

    psb, i agree.

    the person who will benefit from “little girl to sleep” is not the current admin nor the people but the husband.

    so that attempt on GMA’s life does not make it less possible on a house arrest.

    Horn is indeed using circa-GMA era tactics of supposedly attempts against GMA to favor them.

    Horn, a supposedly well-educated person, has resorted to tabloid headlines to make her logic (which she did not gain from her education) work.

  25. chi chi

    A funny comment I read somewhere says, “Operation Todas Liit” would have sounded a bit credible than “Put the Little Girl to Sleep.”

    “Operation Todas Liit”, most apt for the putot than the pa-cute operation. 🙂

  26. parasabayan parasabayan

    Talaga, magingat si pandak kay fatso. He is the more lethal weapon. He stands to gain ALL with pandak’s death. Siya na ang mag-wiwithdraw lahat na nakaw na yaman! Tiba tiba si Vicky Toh!

  27. parasabayan parasabayan

    I saw the video of her main doctor (Cervantes). She looked worried. She can lose her license as a doctor if she is found manipulating the pandak’s chart. The doctor has to be very careful. What will the pandak give her in return for the manipulated prognosis? Maawa ka sa sarili mo Dr Cervantes. You have to determine the bansot’s condition as it is.

  28. chijap chijap

    I wish i can tell Horn to watch any episode of Law and Order. The first person police check/profile/validate when investigating the dead of a wife is…. the Husband.

    Very twisted magisip sya. To fabricate a story and then to use the story to her “mom’s” gain.

    Funny din she said, that putting GMA to a hospital arrest is tantamount to government’s full control. Well. I wonder what an “arrest on a non-bailable offense” means to her really.

    Papel lang ba? a Vacation? a Sick leave, or pareho lang sa “arrest on a petty/bailable offense?”

    Tama nga, act of desperation na camp ni GMA.

  29. chijap chijap

    #25 chi tama nga naman.

    they (that includes Horn) have accused the present admin of being a student body and if small time lang nga magisip ang Aquino Admin, then Operation Todas Liit nga yung gagamitin oplan name at hindi yung length and in English “PTLGTS”

    very good point.

  30. hilman hilman

    wala naman gustong patayin si gloria,gusto ng nakararami na maparusahan sya sa mga kabalastugang pinaggagawa nila sa bayan . . .pati na si taba at ang kanyang mayabang na anak na si mikee pig ….

  31. chijap chijap

    Horn: “If they are really sincere that nothing goes wrong and nothing bad happens to her, the best compromiser would be house arrest.”

    May problem na nga itong si Horn sa logic.

  32. baycas2 baycas2

    pu_ta! little girl, go back to sleep.

    next thing you know you’re in veterans already.

  33. Hahaha! Put the little girl to sleep!? Hindi na talaga nahiya tong mga to magsinungaling. Hindi ba nila alam na pag paulit ulit mong lokohin ang tao nakakabuwisit lalo?

  34. chi chi

    #31. Hahahahaha!!! Nabulunan ako sako sa linya ni Horny, tukayo!

  35. chi chi

    $32. bay, “pu_ta! little girl, go back to sleep.” Di ba dapat paluin ng tanikalang bakal sa pwet? 🙂

  36. baycas2 baycas2

    hahaha…

    i heard the arroyo camp met at mike’s house…

    remember mike “that was her voice but she was not the one doing the talking” defensor?

    after the meeting, elena went to media blowing her horn…

    so, i guess, mike the troubleshooter is at it again…

  37. chi chi

    Big Mike is as old as his gimmick.

    That gimmick already served its usefulness during the time of kulapo! As I said, mauubos ang alibi ng Gloria camp but karma won’t budge.

  38. Sumayo said that he was given P900,000 several weeks before his testimony.

    Ipupusta ko uli ang ipinusta ni Atty. Topacio na ipakakapon nya, malamang na P1 milyon yan, binawasan na ng 10% commission.

  39. parasabayan parasabayan

    Plot siguro ni fatso ang “Put the little girl to sleep”. When she was useful to him in amassing all the billions, he did everything to protect her. He was her hatchet man. She was the GOLDEN HEN. Now that she is a liability to him, plotting her death is not farfetched.

  40. chi chi

    40. Baka si fatso na rin ang magpahele sa little girl.

  41. baycas2 baycas2

    tutal uso naman ang mga kathang-isip, ito ang dahilan ng death threat…(siyempre, dahil din sa pera)…

    Supreme 8: “She’s fit to leave
    the country.”

    Arroyo lawyers posing as docs: “She’s fit to live
    in St. Luke’s detention center.”

    Arroyo docs: “She’s fit to leave
    the hospital.”

    Arroyo lawyers again: “She’s fit to live
    in her house at La Vista.”

    Other lawyers: “She’s fit to live
    in jail.”

    Lawyer Nani: “She’s fit to live
    with me.

  42. parasabayan parasabayan

    Baycas, matagal ng wala yan si Nani. May Defensor na siya for a while…heh,heh,heh.

  43. baycas2 baycas2

    naku nalintikan na…2 mike pa pala ang may motibong pumatay…

    Just read Armida’s column in The Daily Tribune (yung column lang niya ang binabasa ko sa dyaryong yun coz right now it is an Arroyo’s Daily Tribune or is still Erap’s Tribune as well?). She calls the “Little Girl plot” silly and a comedy. I agree!

  45. hilman hilman

    “little girl plot is mere fiction … “rest in peace gloria” is more authoritative.

  46. parasabayan parasabayan

    Sabi ni Erap at Jinggoy, magdala daw si pandak ng “mousetrap” sa VMMC dahil marami daw bubuwit dun! Also, patak patak lang daw ang tubig. Baka sakali maparenovate ni bansot yang “presidential suite” na yan. Magpainstall siya ng water tank, ipa-central AC niya at pa-hardwood floor pa niya, ready for the next abusive president!

    Naku, marami palang “kabilen” si pandak dun sa suite niya!

    Did you see photos of Hillary and Aung San Suu Kyi?

    Genuine ang tuwa at yakap ni Hil kay Aung, while the US Sec of State did not bother to visit her ex-bff at St. Lukes while in Manila. Also, whenever the Putot had snaked her way to Hil’s office via $$$ contributions to Clinton’s Global Initiative, their photos showed a very distant relationship.

    Thing of the past na talaga si Goyang para sa US! Sino ang nagsasabing baka magkarun ng international backlash kung ikulong si Putot, sira ulo lang nila!

  48. chi chi

    At si Iggy Pidal, bakit hindi pa tanggalin sa Congress ang gagong yan? Pinasusuweldo pero sa London nakatira! Sa mahal ng lifestyle sa London, hindi nauubusan ng pera ang mga walanghiyang Arroyo-Pidal.

    Si Gloria, P50,000 no less isang araw sa St. Lukes. Si big pig, pa around-around the world pa, Hongkong ang pinakamalapit na ospital. Si SOB Mikey, sa California nakatira.

    Grabe, kahit si satanas mauubusan ng dugo sa galit sa mga korap na pamilyang ito!

  49. koko koko

    Ang labis ko lang ipinagtataka bakit kailangan pagandahin ng husto ang kuwartong paglilipatan sa kanya sa VMCC,ang dami pang demand si Horn na kesyo kailangan ng cellphone access sa internet etc.Di para din nagbabakasyon lang yan,dapat ibartolina yan o ihalo sa normal na kulungan ng mga magnanakaw na tulad nya.Nasaan ang pantay na trato sa bawat pilipino dito?Dahil ba marami siyang pera at dating presidente kahit nakaw? Hanggat patuloy na pinagbibigyan ang kanyang mga kapritso wala akong nakikitang hustisya dito.

    Put the little girl to sleep, and wake up the little boy.

    Noy tanghali na. What about the economy?

  51. Dan D. Amante Dan D. Amante

    Sabi ni Horny gusto daw magsulat ng libro ni goyang sa loob na VMMC kaya kailangan ng laptop (Apple ba?) Ano kaya ang title siguro ” The rise & fall of a corrupt couple”. Ayaw pa sa manual na hospital bed gusto daw yong de pindot as she described baka hydraulic bed ang ibig nyang sabihin. May nalalaman pang occular inspection sa hospital kaya sabi ng isang announcer sa radio bakit daw presidential suite ang tawag sa paglalagyan kay CGMA mas akma daw ang former accused presidential suite.

  52. chijap chijap

    GMA can always use paper and pen to write her memoirs.

    A laptop is a convenience in her situation. Its not a necessity.

    She is after all, under arrest.
