I don’t own condo units in Twin Oaks – Trillanes

Victim of malicious reporting
Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV has issued the following statement regarding the rumor that he owns condo units in Mandaluyong:

“ Last 18 April 2012, Mr. Arnold Clavio alluded to me in his radio program over DZBB as the buyer of two condominium units in Twin Oaks at Shaw Blvd, Mandaluyong City amounting to seven million pesos each. This was the same subject of the column of Mr. Jojo Robles in Manila Standard on the same day and the radio program of Mr. Deo Macalma on 19 April 2012.

“ In response to these obviously well-orchestrated and malicious reports masquerading as blind items, I hereby categorically deny that I have bought a unit or units at the Twin Oaks Condominium, Mandaluyong City. I further state that I do not have any property not declared in my Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net worth (SALN).

“ I am willing to accompany these media personalities to the developer of Twin Oaks to clarify this issue once and for all.

“ Finally, I have been one of the foremost advocates of a free and independent media as an instrument for transparency in governance.

“Towards this end, I am the principal author of the freedom of information (FOI) bill in the Senate; I also filed a bill that will expand the confidentiality of media sources; and I openly pushed for the decriminalization of libel. Moreover, I am one of those who publicly condemned the killing of media men. But the media, as an institution, should also do its part in promoting responsible journalism.

“Be assured, though, that this unfortunate incident will not discourage me from vigorously pursuing this advocacy.”

I know how that malicious rumor started. The senator was invited to a dinner by a friend and one of the guests happened to be the owner of Twin Oaks. The businessman offered to show the senator his property.

The senator obliged the businessman and looked at the place. But he did not buy.

Looking is different from buying.

Those who want to report about Trillanes properties can get his SALN from the Senate. They will see there that he owns a 60-square meter condo unit, with one parking slot, in Paranaque City worth P3.4 million which he bought through a loan. With a networth of P3,897,121.00, Trillanes is the poorest member of the Senate.

Talking of statements, here’s one from Nestor Burgos, Jr , chairman of the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines on the Sunday incident at the NAIA3 between Ramon Tulfo, a columnist of the Philippine Daily Inquirer and showbiz couple, Claudine Baretto and Raymart Santiago:

“The NUJP the Philippines maintains that there was nothing wrong in columnist and broadcaster RamonTulfo taking photographs of actress Claudine Barretto giving an airline staff a dressing down at the terminal of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA3) on May 6.

“Barretto and her husband are celebrities and are thus, public figures. They were also in a public place and were involved in a commotion making the incident legitimate for coverage.

“Tulfo was also right in not handing over his phone camera. No one has the right to forcibly take a person’s camera or phone especially of a journalist documenting a public incident.

“The matter on who started the violence should be left to the investigation of authorities who should file the appropriate charges on those found liable.”

My take: The threats aired by the Tulfo brothers against Raymart and Claudine should not be condoned.It was just right that they apologized.

Amidst the impassioned discussion on the incident, what is forgotten is what started it all – the failure of Cebu Pacific to load the luggage of Claudine and her companions in the same flight that they took.

Claudine is justified to be upset. Airline inefficiency is really infuriating.

But, being a celebrity, she should be aware that her every move is of interest to the public. Mon Tulfo did not violate any law in taking photos of her scolding the Cebu Pacific staff.

Who started the physical scuffle? Let the authorities determine that.
Is it worth front page treatment? Of course! Headlines are more fun in the Philippines.

    My take on the Tulfo-Santiago incident:

    It’s worth smilimng seeing Ramon Tulfo’s swollen face in the papers and in the net. 🙂

  2. manuelbuencamino manuelbuencamino

    Ellen,

    Yan bang sila Clavio, Robles, at Macalma hindi nag-ve-verify bago sila magkalat ng nakakasirang balita?

    At ano kaya, iisa ang source ng tatlong media men na yan o nagtawagan kaya sila at nagtsismisan tungkol kay Trillanes bago nila ikinalat ang kabulaanan na yan?

    Wala bang media watchdog na pumupulis at pwedeng mag-disiplina sa ganyan klaseng mga reporter?

  3. MB, hindi maiwasan minsan magkamali. Pero meron talagang mga iresponsable.

    Problema talaga.

  4. And there are really journalists for hire. I just want to know if these reporters have in anyway, apologized for the wrong report? If not, then it’s clearly a demolition job.

    As for the NUJP, I hope they issue a statement on the threats made by the Tulfos on national TV. If an ordinary person was the one berating the CP staff, would Tulfo take pictures too? A scoop will not be a scoop if no celebrity is involved.

  5. Mike Mike

    The video posted on youtube and other social media sites does not tell the whole complete story and yet a lot of “knowledgeable” commenters in the internet fora already has their own conclusion. Agree with Ellen, let us wait for the court to decide.

    As for the threat by the Tulfo brothers, what they did was pretty dumb and stup*d. A lot of people who listen to their program knows very well that they made a lot of enemies exposing alleged illegal activities of people in government as well as crime syndicates. These people they exposed before might exact vengeance by doing harm to the Santiago couple and put the blame on the Tulfos.

  6. Mike Mike

    Hmmm…. I wonder how Senator Lacson felt when he saw Ramon Tulfo’s beat up and swollen face. Hehehehe 😛

  7. baguneta baguneta

    Sa daigdig ng mga mamamahayag, nagkakaalaman sila sila kung sino ang bayaran (EJ – Envelopmental Journalism) at kung sino ang hindi. Ang tanong…kaya bang isiwalat ng mga katulad ni Ka Ellen ang mga pangalan ng ganitong uri (EJ)ng mamamahayag?

  8. chijap chijap

    Mon Tulfo must now realize Karma does exist.

    Mali nga si Claudine to shout and berate. Ano expect nya sa Ground Staff, to actually produce the bag there and then also call Lance? Porke? File a complaint. End of that.

    I’ve seen people lose more precious items but do not belittle others, lalo na those who were not directly involved.

    Mon as the scheming journalist he is of course seeing an opportunity, kung hindi pasado as headline, eh di ka-ching din yan.

    But to start a fight, i don’t believe and as reported and witness by people Raymart would start it. Si Tulfo is probable dahil alam nya nakisawsaw pa sya sa isang delicate situation. Plus, obvious he hit Claudine.

    As for Claudine, grow up. Don’t belittle people. Makakahanap (at nakahanap ka nga) ng isa pang katulad mo.

    Let this be a lesson to everybody. Common Courtesy and Respect for others.

    But of course, do we really expect people to learn?

    Freedom of the Press or Freedom of the Media

    Yan ang ginagawang alibi ng mga tiwaling reporters na gusto lang makapag sulat or makapag balita kahit na ang balita ay hindi pa nila napapatunayan. Itong sina Clavio, Robles, at Macalma ay sana tinawagan muna nila si Sen. Trillanes bago mag bida sa kanila mga programa.

    Nakuryente tuloy sila…..

  10. chijap chijap

    I wonder what Nestor Burgos, Jr., chairman of the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines, has to say about the Tulfo brothers who forced their way into the brawl on TV cussing and threatening the other party.

    Quick to defend but slow to correct?

  11. Rudolfo Rudolfo

    About the Media, isang pananaw lamang. Huwag sirain ang magandang pangalan ni Senator Sonny Trillanes..Is the negative jouranalism has something to do in the coming 2013, election?.Bago sana mag-palabas ng “baho-Ingay” dapat totoo at mag-biripika muna..Sumabog tuloy ang “baho” sa kanila ding mga mukha..Dapat, tingnan ang “katutuhanan, na laging sinasabi, at kina-kanta,..hindi yong panliligaw ng katutuhanan..” Iwasan, at iwaksi ang tinatawag na EJ na mga mamahayag..my comment for the general good of the nation via truthful media or writings..Ma-aga pa para husgahan ang mabubuting layunin ng mabuting Senador, ng Bikol at Caloocan..

  12. parasabayan parasabayan

    Good or bad publicity, publicity pa rin yan. It will be good for Sonny. Eh ano kung bumili si Sonny ng dalawang condo basta hindi niya ninakaw and pinambili niya. Di tulad ng mga galamay ni pandak!

  13. Jojo Jojo

    Sabi sa kabilang pahayagan: i-boycot daw ang movie ni Claudine. siguro ang writer panig kay Tulfo. Sagot ng blogger: anong i bo-boycot, ni teleserye wala siya dahil laos na. sa akin namang palagay. siguro itong si Claudine ay walang mirror sa bahay nila kaya hindi niya alam na kung OK pa siyang star sa movie.

  14. RBR RBR

    Good day, Ms. Ellen,

    I was actually bemused when I heard Arnold Clavio’s not so blind item to the effect that Sen. Trillanes bought 2 units at a plush condominium project in Mandaluyong worth 14 Million Pesos.

    Alam ko pong hindi totoo yun kasi dun lamang sa 60 sqm na Condo na binili worth P3.4 Million, nahirapan siyang makakuha ng loan. In fact, i and my wife had to sign in as co-maker para ma approve yung loan nila. Eh di lalo na kung P 14 Million yung properties.

    Sen. Sonny is the poorest senator not because of lack of opportunities to earn but because he has chosen to live by his advocacy of fighting corruption. It’s really unjust and unfair when certain respected journalists like Mr. Clavio, Mr. Macalma and Mr. Robles mindlessly tarnish and taint his name, honor and reputation without bothering to check on the accuracy of their information.

    – Rey Robles

  15. danesramos danesramos

    On this condo issue, days before Clavio et.al. brought it up, Belinda Cunanan already post this on her blog as blind item also. Ibig sabihin ba nito part sya ng grupo nila Clavio?

  16. chi chi

    Hindi man lang nag-apologize kay Trillanes ang mga letsugas na Robles, Macalma at Clavio. Mga gago at iresponsableng broadcasters (daw)!

    Buti nga kay Tulfo, nakatagpo sya ng bugbugero din. Ang deprensya lang si Mon ay nambubugbog ng iresponsableng reporting, si Raymart pisikal.

  17. Ang bulung-bulungan dito sa airport, sinadyang in-offload ang baggages ng grupo nila Claudine na nanggaling sa Boracay. Pakiramdam tuloy nila Barretto nasingle out sila dahil bayaw niya ang chairman ng bagong kalabang airline ng Cebu Pacific.

    Pambihira naman kasi meron ng Air Asia na byaheng Kalibo bakit nagtiyaga pa sa CebuPac. Baka malaki pa discount nila, kung hindi man libre.

  18. Reklamo naman ng lahat yang inefficiency ng CebuPac. Naikwento ko dito yung pinsan kong pinagtrabaho sa crash site sa Mt. Sumagaya na nagka-TB dahil sa basa ang environment at imbes na ipagamot, na-terminate pa.

    Nito lang April, naka-book ang pamilya ng Kuya ko kasama yung panganay kong anak sa Boracay, na yearly nilang ginagawa pagka birthday niya. As usual, CebuPac ang nakasanayan nila. Ang siste, nagtext yung empleyado ng CebuPac na delayed ang flight dahil sa congestion daw sa airport. Aba, salamat at nagbigay ng advance info!

    Nang pumunta sila sa airport (na katapat lang ng bahay nila) ayon sa bagong schedule, nakaalis na daw ang flight. Gigil na gigil sila sa nangyari dahil sa next day na sila nakaalis. Nagtuturuan ang ground staff ng CebuPac sa kapalpakan.

    Kinantiyawan ko tuloy na “Katapat lang kayo ng airport, na-late pa kayo?”

    Dapat maghinay hinay itong 3 reporters. Paano yan nagpapasama si sen. Trillanes sa kanila sa developer ng Twin Oaks in the name of truth and transparency. Hilig nyo kasi sa tsismis maka iskop lang!

  21. brewsterbaker brewsterbaker

    Nakukoryente rin pala itong si Clavio.
    Nawala tuloy ang simpatya ko sa kanya.
    “Igan, husayan mo nmn.” Baka sakali
    makabawi ka. Mag sorry ka na lang kaya
    muna? Pati na ikaw Deo at Jojo.
    Sibakin nyo na yung mga assets nyo.
    Baka ipahamak kayo niyan?

  22. Paborito ko yang si Arnold Clavio pero dehins na ngayon dahil tinitira niya si Sen. Trillanes na wala namang pruweba.

    At dyan sa Thrilla @NAIA, ito ang isang matinding reaction:

  23. Manachito Manachito

    These gossips about Senator Trillanes..even Stevie Wonder can see that the sh** starts rolling downhill because 2016 election is almost here. What’s next, Trillanes wasn’t really elected by the people? The “disinfo” machine is already working.

  24. Katrina Stuart Santiago:

    It’s in this sense that Claudine’s anger, her taray, is to me refreshing. Granted that she was scolding employees who also had no control over the situation, granted that lashing out would not mean getting their bags back any faster, much might be said about releasing frustration in the face of inefficiency. Yes, these are unfortunate employees faced with such anger, but that is not so much Claudine’s fault, as it is the company’s which knows only too well that those in the lower rungs are the ones who will suffer. We might call Claudine out on verbal abuse, but then again what are the limits to complaining about bad service? No cuss words? No threatening that employees will lose their jobs? No screaming? How to measure anger?….

    That this means being unable to appreciate it when a woman shows us we can be bigger than the Maria Clara stereotype we’ve been stuck with all this time goes without saying. That we fail to appreciate Claudine kicking ass the way she has? That is our bigger tragedy.

    http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/257756/opinion/claudines-taray-is-refreshing

  25. Kung hindi nag ingay si Claudine ay hindi siya mapapansin ni Tulfo. Dapat naging mahinahon lang si Claudine para sa bagahe niya na hindi naisakay sa eroplano. Siya ay nasa showbiz kaya dapat expect na niya na konting pagkakamali lang ay puwede na siyang ma intriga.

  26. Kung naroon lang ang mga bodyguard ni Tulfo malaking gulo ang nangyayari. May artista na masasapak talaga.

  27. chi chi

    I can understand Claudine, I also made taray at La Guardia airport due to inefficiency of the carrier and employees. Kaya lang walang Mon Tulfo dun, hindi ako artista, and other passengers were with me on the issue.

    Tulfo wanted to sensationalize the hourly happenings in the airport for his own journalistic interests. Nagkataon lang na artista ang isang party. Kung ordinaryong reklamador si Claudine, nunca na ibi-video sya ni Tulfo.

    Buti meron ganyan minsan-minsan to call the attention of the airline carriers for a better service. Pati na gobyerno, imagine sira ang monitor pero hindi pinapalitan. Paano kung teroristas na ang pumapasok o nagtataray sa airport, rason ba na sira ang monitor kaya nakalagpas sa kanila?

    More Fun in the Philippines!

    Isang pala-isipan , at komentaryo..Ang mga pangyayari sa NAIAA y Cebu Airways incident, ay patotoo na kulang sa “Disiplina sa bansa”..Isa ito sa mga features, ng martial law ni FM…noon sa kanya, nagkaroon,na Disiplina, ngunit, ng bumalik sa “peoples power, o sobrang freedom, nagkaroon ng maraming problema sa bansa..Kung ang isa man sa kanila ( Tulfo o Santiago- Barredo may roon ng Disiplina, di mangyayari ang masamang resulta ng ” super moon ” o init ng mga ulo, kasama na din syempre ang, Airline Management…Mas matindi ang emotion o damdamin, ang pinangyayari kaysa, sa disiplina sa sarili…Saan hahantong ang bansa, kung kulang sa disiplina ang mamamayan ?..At saan dapat magsimula ang disiplina, sa bahay bilang mga mabubuting pamilya ?..o sa pang-araw-araw na nakikita sa loob ng 24-oras, na karamihan ay gulo ?..o sa mga paaralang nakaligtaan ang ituro ang magandang ka-ugalian, sa kabataan ?…my penny worth of comment for a Change..

    In no offense to those who prefer the taray approach (it is effective to a degree) but what can we really expect from the frontline?

    Yes, big companies simply hire, fire, and hire fresh grads and/or cheap labor and they are just there to do the basic. Yes 5J has some neglect by not communicating the decision to the passenger (but are they at “fault” is another legal matter). I simply don’t see demeaning the grunts has any value. NOT UNLESS nagtaray yung front line sa iyo.

    The grunts can’t really do anything. If you wanted action, go higher up the chain (but don’t be like Claudine demanding Lance immediately), go for supervisor, then manager, then if not file a complaint, take notes names, etc. Show them you mean business but not berate or demean them.

    Sa totoo lang, by reaching out, you would soon find a person in the company who is an honest and efficient worker and in the end have an inside person who can help you from time to time. Its building a relationship.

    Yes our system is inefficient. Kahit saan naman eh. But then again, there is no need to blow your top on lesser fortunate people doing the dirty work. Of course wag lang sila maging impolite sa iyo.

    One more thing, sa akin lang, not unless may crucial item yung nasa bagahe, the couple should have brought the kids home. Kung gamot yun, then daan sila sa mercury on the way home. Ayaw na ayaw ko mga anak ko nakikitang inaaway ko ang kapwa. Its really not a sight i want my kids to remember.

    I don’t want my kids to learn that to progress in life, you have to shout.

    Just my two cents. Easy lang with everything.:)

    Police say they have found “no evidence” that Toronto Star reporter Daniel Dale — publicly denounced as a lurker, stalker, peeping Tom and potential “sicko” by the Ford brothers — went onto the mayor’s property or peered over his fence last week

    the city Mayor, known to be a Bully (he is physically a sumo wrestler built) has a very “sick” relationship with The Star especially with its management engaging it its investigation with his plan to buy to some property from the city own Public Parks and Recreation…this case involve his early morning confrontation with the Reporter which has to drop his cell phone and run for help as the Mayor confronted him and accused him of trespassing into his backyard…

    The reporter who knew the Mayor covering him during his long tenure as councillor know very well not to get caught by a close to 300 pounder bad temper individual who has some issues with the paper…

    http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1175674–toronto-police-will-not-charge-reporter-daniel-dale-over-mayor-rob-ford-incident

    by the way, the celebrated murder case of the 8 year old Tori Stafford murder case is handed to the Jury today…and the evidence and all other suppressed evidence can now be published and discussed…and will be the subject of many discussions and paper articles no matter what the jury verdict on the principal suspect…his partner in crime already pleaded guilty for the 1st degree murder and witnessed for the State…Murder in 1st degree is auto life without the eligibility for parole for the minimum of 25 years (parole maybe granted or not, heinous criminals like serial killers and rapists are mostly refused parole, regardless of age)

    Arnold Clavio took issue against the act of Sen. Trillanes of responding to his blind item against a senator who supposedly bought 2 condominium units from Twin Oak condominium in Shaw worth P14 Million.

    Ang gusto pala ni Mr. Clavio, huwag sasagot yung kanilang binabanatan kahit maliwanag kung sino ang pinatutungkulan at sinisiraan at kahit na hindi totoo yung tsimis na kanilang kinakalat… Tama yun?

    Ang sabi pa niya, hindi daw niya inalagaan ang kanyang pangalan ng mahigit sa 20 taon para lamang sirain ni Sen. Trillanes. Paano naman yung pangalan mga taong kaniyang sinisiraan araw-araw? Uupo na lang ba sila sa isang sulok ng walang kalaban-laban. Wala rin ba silang karapatan para sumagot at pangalagaan ang kanilang sariling pangalan at dignidad?

    Kaya po noong May 4, 2012 lang nakasagot si Sen. Trillanes kahit noong April 18, 2012 pa yung blind item ni Mr. Clavio ay nasa official travel si Sen. Trillanes mula second week hangang halos katapusan ng April 2012. Wala siya dito nung banatan siya ni Mr. Clavio.

    Hindi na sana niya sasagutin yung blind item pero marami ang nagtatanong sa kanya at nalaman niya na hindi lang si Mr. Clavio kung hindi pati sina Deo Macalma, Jojo Robles, Belinda Olivares-Cunanan at iba ang nagkakalat nung tsimis ng sabay-sabay. That’s why he was forced to address it dahil maliwanag na well-orchestrated na yung paninira sa kanya. Kung hindi siya kikibo, palalabasin na naman na totoo iyun kahit walang basehan.

    Ano kaya ang paliwanag ni Mr. Clavio dito? Nagkataon lang ban a pare-pareho sila ng isyu nina Mr. Macalma, Mr. Robles at Ms. Cunanan? Naman… We were not born yesterday!

    Mr. Clavio, huwag ka sanang pikon! Ikaw ang nag-umpisa, eh! Stick to the issues. Hinamnon ka ni Sen. Trillanes na patunayan mo ang ginawa mong paninira sa kanya! Maglabas ka ng ebidensya at huwag kung ano-anu ang sinasabi mo… Put up or shut-up!

    Dati, bilib ako sa iyo pero ngayon, parang pumasok na ang hangin sa ulo mo!

    There should be someone higher or supervisor to refer the matter to satisfy or explain the situation to a “customer”…Picking up my sister at the airport once, her luggage was delayed one flight and it the lady at the service desk readilly give us an option, wait for the next flight coming in 30 minutes or the luggage will be delivered at our home address…and the airline give my sis a voucher for round trip ticket from ny to to for her next flight in the same airline for the inconvenience…

    And here is another one just recently…went to the shop for the the car complaint..riding rough and the dealer shocks leaking and he said it was one month out of warranty…but I told him the same problem two months ago and said it was not the shocks but the brakes and needed replacements in the future…he said that was a misdiagnosed but still it was now out of warranty and i have to pay..took my car back, have it installed outside at about half the price, wrote the Car Manufacturer and in the next Day the dealer Genaral Manager phoned me to arrange re-imbursement of my bill for the replacement and told me that he talked to the Service dept. and told me that if ever i have a problem with service again not to hesitate to go HIGHER….and give me his name.

    #33. So, kasama din pala sa tsismis si Belinda Olivares-Cunanan. She is still at it ha!

    “Ang sabi pa niya, hindi daw niya inalagaan ang kanyang pangalan ng mahigit sa 20 taon para lamang sirain ni Sen. Trillanes.”

    Talaga naman palang walang logic si Clavio. Sya ang nag-umpisa na sumira sa pangalan nya (kung meron syang dignidad una pa as reporter/columnist whatever). Naninidigan lamang si Sen. Trillanes napikon sya agad sa halip na i-call ang hamon ng senador na sasamahan sila sa Twin Oaks.

    Magtanin ka na lang ng kamote Clavio, isama mo na ang tatlong ka level mo ang tuktok!

  36. Naku, chi. Inutil talaga yang si Clavio. Simula noong sinasangga niya yung mga tanong para kay Mikey Arroyo sa interview nila ng co-host niyang si Mareng Winnie Monsod regaring dun sa biglang yaman ni Mikey, nagduda akong bayaran yang reporter (hindi journalist, ha). Pilit niyang inililiko ang usapan at halatang pala(munin) siya ni Mikey.

    Sinabi ko na nga bang mahirap magtiwala sa mga lalaking walang kilay e. Hahaha.

    Hayaan mo Senador Sonny, kung gusto mo ng condo bibigyan kita, mamili ka – yung sa Bonifacio Ridge o sa The Columns o sa Bellagio o yung sa Burgundy. Diba sabi ni Corona, “Pag may natisod kayo, inyo na”? Kundi ba naman hunghang, ano’ng tisod? Sa laki ng condominium, matitisod ka lang? Basag ang bungo mo dyan, Dude! Kaya ayan no choice na siya, kundi umapir sa Senado.

    Wala akong interest sa away ng mga pa-importante (Tulfo and the has-been stars). Ang concern ko ay yung away ng elepante (China) at langgam (Philippines).

    Yung mga denizens dito na malapit sa kusina, pakisabi sa mga malapit kay Noy at kay Noy na rin. Tigil na ang media posturing.

    So Chinese tourists may be a trickle. But how many NoyPis work in Hong Kong and Macau?

    Quiet diplomacy ang kailangan. Even the suit at the ITLOS can be done quietly. Ang mahirap, parang impeachment. Mas importante ang media attention kaysa results. Tulad na lang ng paghingi ng armas sa Tate. Pinangalandakan pa. Of course the Gringos balked. Ayaw nilang awayin ang China. Kung pailalim ang paghingi, baka nakuha pa.

    That is how the Iran Contra were armed. May arms embargo noon sa Iran, laban sa Iraq. Gusto ng Tate na maka-score ng simpatiya sa mga anti-Khomeini sa loob, so nangako ng armas. Paano ginawa? Israel ang nagbigay, reimbursed ng Tate.

    Ang tatanga ng mga nakapaligid diyan kay Noy. Non-performer na nga, naghakot pa ng mga tanga. Ano ang ginawa ng isang non-performer sa Senate na naging Pangulo din? Ni-raid ang Harvard at ivy league schools for talent. The guy’s initials are JFK.

    Wake up man. Second quarter na, nag-wa-warm-up ka pa rin.

    @ 32 follow up to the case which now under the hands of the jury of 9 women and 3 men now being sequestered since yesterday and deliberating the fate of the accused…the very signifant circumstantial evidence that were suppressed and now being published that were excluded and may brought down the case to defeat as the Judge ruled that his Rights was violated as the Searches were done without warrants…

    LONDON, ONT. — In early 2009, someone named Mychol googled “underage rape,” “real underage rape” and “real underage rape pictures” on his laptop. Between Jan. 25 and April 7, 2009, he also searched keywords like “real rape,” “the best program to download child porn,” and “nude preteen.”

    Mychol was Michael Rafferty. And Tori Stafford disappeared on April 8, 2009.

    The evidence found in the Internet searches was never presented to the jury of nine women and three men now determining the fate of the 31-year-old Rafferty. He has pleaded not guilty to the abduction, rape and murder of 8-year-old Tori.

    Justice Thomas Heeney found that Rafferty’s Charter rights were violated when investigators did a forensic search on his laptop without a warrant, and he ruled the evidence obtained inadmissible. Heeney also said the Internet searches would be prejudicial and could emotionally bias the jurors against Rafferty.

    There was more that was kept from the jury. Only now, with jurors sequestered and under the constant scrutiny of court officials, can those details be reported.

    http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/article/1176506–tori-stafford-trial-evidence-the-jurors-never-heard?bn=1

    Had all the evidence not been excluded, it would have not taken the jurors this long to bring down the verdict…his girlfriend already pleaded guilty to murder and witnessed for the Crown…Read more and see how Sick can People Get.

    #37 “Quiet diplomacy ang kailangan.”

    Ok ba sa iyo if China says it will mine whatever resources on the areas that are being contested as “joint venture” project? Pero on their terms.

    Yes, we have a lot of migrant workers in HK and Macau but China is a manufacturing country. The PH is one of its biggest source for raw goods, and also a great consumer market for the Chinese manufactured products.

    I don’t believe China will attack. Mangugulo lang yan until such a point where the “diplomatic-centric people” would ultimate say eto yung solution dyan: “joint venture” China gets to mine resources out of our territory (of which it is written favorable to them) and then when its sucked dry, then leave us with the waste.

    The Jury got it right and handed the verdict of Guilty on all counts in the trial that captivated the whole nation…a ten weeks of agonizing testimonies of the murder of an 8 year-old 3 years ago that exposed the ugly side of the adults world…the skeptical Police investigators and the indifference Media attitude…Read the column below…now that the Verdict has been handed down, All can be Said about the Case of Tori Stafford in Public….

    A single full day of deliberation is all
    it took the jury to consider the mounds of evidence heard in a 10-week trial against Michael Rafferty: He is a murderer. He is a kidnapper. He is a sexual sadist.

    Even so, Rafferty — so vigilantly sheathed by Charter rights that jurors were not permitted to hear crucial known facts about his sick fantasies, his debauched proclivities, his lust for children — should not be central in our thoughts today. Nor Terri-Lynne McClintic, his full partner in a heinous crime and primary witness for the prosecution, whose lies and astonishing reversal of testimony could have sent this trial off the rails.

    kapag ang isang tao ay nagsasabi ng totoo, merong basehan (hindi basahan o trapo, ha?), kayang panindigan, iyon ay hindi paninira o tsismis SUBALIT kung ang mga pahayag ay upang pasamain ang pinatutungkulan AT maliwanag na merong taong nasa likod ng masasamang pahayag (kumbaga, kakampi ng kontra sa taong pinatutungkulan) ASAHAN nating ‘yun ay kinalap sa pinakamaruming sulok ng guniguni ng taong nagakakalat ng masamang bintang. at, hindi malayong meron ‘yung kapalit ng sobreng sobrang kapal……..!

    itong si arnold clavio ay dapat magpa-pray over kay reberend mani pakyaw para naman maitaboy ang malignong namamahay sa kanyang ubos na kilay este, utak (pala).

    ano na nga ang laging ending (hindi ‘yung taya sa resulta ng PBA games, ha?) ng bawat kolorum este kolum ni arnold clavio?

    lord, ikaw na po ang bahala?

    sino’ng lord?

    gambling lord?

    huweteng lord?

    drug lord?

    kabayong lord?

    my point in connection with the above link is clavio should personally interview Sen ATIV before publishing or taking up matters in broadcast tungkol dito sa sinasabi niyang itinatagong kondimonyum ng senador.

    kunsabagay ay magkahalintulad din ang tunay na kuryente sa kuryente sa anumang pahayag dahil ‘yung makuryenteng tunay ay nagreresulta sa pagkasugat o pagkasunog. samantalang ang kuryenteng pahayag ay kung minsan ay nagbubunga ng black eye lalo’t medyo macho ang makakatapat. ngunit, ang mas matindi ay ‘yung black eye sa reputasyon sapagkat mawawala ang anumang matagal nang naipundar na dangal sa pangalan bunga ng kasabay na pagkawala ng tiwala ng dating mga naniniwala at tagasubaybay.

    buti sana kung ang mawala ay buhok la’ang o kilay, merong mabibiling wig at lapis na pangguhit. puwede na ring manghiram ng kilay sa matsing.

    gets mo na arnold clavio?

    lord, ikaw na po ang bahala!

    “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” by Renato Corona
    (Kai Pastores)

    “……Ang isa pang tila ginagawang theme song ang kanta ni Jennifer Holliday ay si Ginoong Renato Corona.

    Parang kulang na lang ay bumirit siya sa Senate Impeachment Court ng, “And I am telling you, I’m not going. I’m the best man you’ll ever know, there’s no way I will ever go!”
    Parang nasira ata ‘yung kanta……”

    #36. Tongue, hindi ko pa nalilimutan ang insidente ng ‘luhuran’ ni Clavio si Mikey sa harap ni manay Winnie. 🙂

    Napahiya na yan si Clavio sa mga Azkals.He accused the Azkals as not patriotic because thye are mestisos. Angel Locsin came to the defense of Azkals. Siyempre, for Philip Younghusband.
    Clavio and GMA7 had to apologize.

    #47. ano ‘yan? lumuhod si kilayvio kay mikey sa harapan ni aling winnie?

    ano hinawakan ni kilayvio kay mikey? ‘yung buntot ba o ‘yung kuwan, ‘yung piyangka (saddle)?

    maige’t hindi siya sinipa ng kabayong ‘yun, hane?

    Octave novena for CJ Corona

    http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/video/nation/05/14/12/octave-novena-cj-corona

    p..ang .nang corona ito! napakakapal ng mukha’ng kung ano anong palabas ang ginagawa para lamang magmukha siyang kinakawawa samantalang siya ng nuno ng kawalanghiyaang nagkukunyaring walang kasalanan.

    hindi na nakutyang pati ang sagradong misa/novena ay ginagawang taguan ng kanyang ginawang pagsasamantala at pakikipagsabwatan sa katulad niyang sinungaling na magnanakaw.

    para nang isdang huli sa bunganga, gusto pa ‘atang pati leeg niya ay matigpas sa bibitayan.
