Binay can kiss his 2016 presidential bid goodbye

Vice President Jejomar Binay’s 350-hectare luxury estate is so stunning, stupefying and appalling he can kiss his 2016 presidential plans goodbye.

The images shown of Binay’s sprawling property in Batangas during the hearing of the Senate Blue Ribbon subcommittee assault many aspects of the ordinary citizens’ senses: sense of values, sense of propriety, sense of proportion.

To give the public an idea of how big 350 hectares is, former Makati Vice Mayor Ernesto Mercado said the Binay farm is equivalent to “six Luneta Parks, 10 Araneta Centers or even half the 700 hectare San Juan city.

Mercado, who was the Binay’s trusted bagman until their falling out before the 2010 elections, gave detailed description of the estate which boggles the mind of ordinary Filipinos: two mansions, one with a resort pool; two man-made lagoons, stockbreeding farm with more than a thousand cocks, a horse ranch, an aviary, and a 40-car garage.

It has a piggery which is air-conditioned, he said, because the Vice President’s wife, Dr. Elenita Binay, who had served also a mayor of Makati for one term (1998-2001), “did not want to smell the pigs and she did not want flies.”

Dr. Binay, who is an orchid lover, has a vast orchid farm which boasts of rare species from other countries.

But the pièce de résistance in the property, Mercado said, is a maze garden similar to the Kew Gardens in London.

Mercado said he was sent to London in 2007 upon the instruction of Mrs. Binay to see the Kew Gardens because she wanted one in their Batangas property.

Internet articles on the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in West London said it is one of the world’s most important botanical gardens. The whole domain encompasses an impressive 132 hectares with about 50,000 different species of plants .Some areas are formally laid out with flower beds or themed gardens; a large part of the domain is laid out in English style.

Mansions and other luxurious properties by public officials are offensive to the people because they are concrete and graphic images of greed and abuse or betrayal of public trust.

They may dismiss the overpricing of the P2.2 billion Makati Building2 and the alleged 13 percent cut of the Binays in all construction projects in Makati as “SOP” (Standard Operating Practice) in the government but if they see sprawling properties, mansions, man-made lakes and scenes that they see only in the movies, they are able to compare them with their own houses and lifestyle. The Binays’ Batangas property makes even the middle-class Filipinos’ houses look like a dog house.

Just imagine how one family cramped in a rented house in Pasay City feel looking at the Binays’ paradise.
In the 2000 exposé against then President Joseph Estrada, it was the photos of the Boracay mansion and other houses of Estrada that enraged the people more than the jueteng money and mis-use of tobacco tax .

Mercado said the money used in the construction and maintenance of the Batangas farm came from Makati City construction projects. It’s the money of the people of Makati.

Mercado’s odious personality is not enough to diminish the shock value of the information he gave during the Senate hearing.

He maybe a shady character himself but then “it takes a thief to catch a thief.”

Binay denies that he owns the Batangas property. It is reportedly owned by Sunchamp Agri-Tourism Park headed by Filipino-Chinese businessman Antonio Tiu.

Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, who is one of the three senators leading the investigation of Binay’s alleged ill-gotten wealth, accused Tiu of being Binay’s dummy.

At the Senate hearing, Trillanes presented the layered links of Sunchamp to the Binays: Tiu folded Sunchamp Real Estate Development Corp. in 2013 into a publicly listed corporation, the Greenergy Holdings Inc. The main shareholders of Greenergy are the Sunchamp Real Estate Development Corp., Earthright Holdings Inc., and the Three Star Capital.

Martin C. Subido is director, corporate secretary and compliance officer of Greenergy. He is also law partner of Makati Representative Abigail Binay, one of the Vice President’s daughters at the Subido, Pagente, Certeza, Mendoza and Binay (SPCMB) law office.

Trillanes also said Earthright shares the same address as the SPCMB law office at the Value Point Executive Building 227 Salcedo Street in Legazpi Village, Makati City.

One interesting information that shows the ties that bind Tiu and the Binays: Tiu is also the CEO, president and chairman of AgriNurture Inc. (ANI), formerly known as Mabuhay 2000 Enterprises Inc., which was identified by Commission on Audit (COA) Commissioner Heidi Mendoza as the supplier of the overpriced hospital beds for the Ospital ng Makati (OsMak) back in 2001 and 2002 when Mrs. Binay was mayor.

Plunder charges have been filed against the Vice President and his son, Makati Mayor Jun-jun Binay in connection with the overpriced Makati Building2.

A charge of violation of the anti-dummy law is also being prepared against him in connection with the Batangas estate.

A Malacañang ally said recently that by the time the investigation of Binay’s ill-gotten wealth is completed, “pupulutin siya sa kangkungan.”

The frontrunner in the 2016 presidential race is now deep in the kangkungan.

    Omigawd, kinilabutan ako sa kasibaan ni Binay!

    Will the Aquino sisters still endorse Binay’s presidency after this open to view mega nakaw expose of his 350 hectare hacienda?

    Naisipan ko ang mga biktima ng natural at man made kalamidad na nagkakamatay at nagkakasakit dahil sa kulang o walang shelter tapos ang babuyan ni Elenita ay airconditioned.

    Dafuq, Binays! You all in the family can say goodbye to your political ambitions right this instant, binababoy nyo pati mga baboy!

  2. chi chi

    Salamat sa paghahalungkat Sen. Trillanes et al.

    Ganun din kay ex-Makati Vice Mayor Ernesto Mercado. Ang nagagawa nga naman ng galit/revenge, minsan ay nagiging positibo ang epek sa madla.

    Aircon ang PIGGERY..

    Mag lalaro kasi sa Maze ang mga Baboy at mga Binays pag katapos ay mag papahinga sa aircondinioned piggery silang lahat. Ang sisiba pala ang mga Binay’s kaya pala maganda ang kulungan ng baboy na naka aircon pa. Hanep, only in the Philippines.

    Pustahan tayo iboboto pa rin ng mga botante ito. Katulad ni J. Estrada na naka upo ulit. Ang sisiba ng mga ito. Kapag umu ulan ay baha ang karamihan lugar at ibang tao ay natutulog sa kalsada.

    Baboy talaga na dito sa atin. Kaya maraming tao ang gustong mag politika dahil instant milyoner na sila agad.

    Ayan nangyari at pinatalsik nyo si Macoy. Noon naka upo si macoy ay isa ang bansa natin na pinaka mayaman sa Asia.

    Ngayon ay isa ang bansa natin na pina ka unang corrupt sa bansa.

    Ang Red Roses Ribbon Committee Sub-Committee Hearings on the Binays are “in aid of seduction.”

    Aling Leila got “interested” with Mang Jojo when she learned of his huge “privates” especially the cocks and studs…not to mention the never-ending supply of fresh flowers and crispy chicharons.

    Aling Leila actually fell for the manmade HEART-SHAPED lagoon. That’s how the “bloody red moon” worked wonders last Wednesday night.

    Click here for the image of the heart-shaped lagoon.

    Bakit ang malilit na tao ay masisiba mag nakaw. Sina Gloria, ang mga Binay, Jinggoy, Napoles.etc…

    May Malalaki rin na baboy pala “ay di pala baboy tao pala” katulad ng Asawa ni Gloria at si ex SC Corona.

    Kung ano ang liit nila ay sila naman napaka suwapang mag nakaw.

    #1, Chi ang pag side ng Aquino Sisters & ang hindi pag-kibo ni Pnoy sa anomalya ni Binay ay scripted. para hindi sila paghinalaan ng Binay family sa pagkilos sa anomalya ni Binay. dahil sa utang na loob sa paglaban sa Marcos. si Mercado ay under WPP ng DOJ. kaninong helicopter at sino ang kasama ni Mercado nang mag aireal survey sa Rosario, Batangas. Maliwanag na DOJ & NBI. Siempre with the consent of De Cinco.
    ito ay patunay na si Mar Roxas pa rin ang kanyang kandidato sa 2016. To day umalis si Pnoy to go to Bali. kanino nag leave ng message and instruction. kay Mar Roxas, hindi sa VP na si Binay. ever since na everytime na aalis si Pnoy, never na nagbigay si Pnoy ng instruction sa VP na si Binay.

    parang napaka bias ng mga newspaper writer, sa aking opinion lang naman po mga media hindi sana nakiki alam o nag cocomment tulad ng Binay can kiss his presidential bid good bye,Baket sino kayo? taga pag hatid lang sana po kayo ng mga balitang totoo hindi po sana dapat nag huhusga ng wala pang katunayan, nakaka dag dag ng paninira sa pangalan ng isang tao,Halatang halata na may pinapaboran kayo bakit?? may kapalit po ba itong nakaka sirang balitang sinusulat ninyo? Maka Diyos po ba na pati ang mga anak ay malait at mabastos?? Si EX Mayor Elenita BINAY sa edad lang niya dapat mayroon ng kahit konting respeto, naging halal na lingkod bayan din naman siya, wala na bang pag galang na nalalabi sa mga media sa damdamin ng kapwa tao? Ang taong bayan ang dapat humatol… parang kayong mga media ang hari ng bawat pilipino.. Wala kayong karapatan mag salita ng tapos. Ang panginoon Diyos lamang ang siyang may karapatan…

    Nakita ko yung air-conditioned piggery dito.

    Mamaya pupunta ako sa Orthopedic Hospital dahil kailangan ng dugo ng pamangkin ng asawa ko na ooperahan. At dahil dito ika-3 o ika-4 na beses ko nang makikita ang nakaka-awang kalagayan ng mga kababayan natin na kapos talaga. Pati Hospital napabayaan na ng gobyerno. Pero yung mga baboy, naka aircon pa??? Dun sa mga ward na nakita ko kahit isang air cooler man lang, wala. Piggery, air-conditioned???

  11. wagkasingbobo wagkasingbobo

    @Jojo, do you even know that the president does not have to communicate with the vice president all the time? Do you even know that the vice president is lower than the senate that the vice president’s only job function is to obey instructions from the president and to be the replacement in case the incumbent president dies? Of course Noynoy would only relay info to his trusted comrades because he is not oblige to let the vice know his every move. The Binays does the same thing to their current vice mayor of Makati, the only difference is binabastos ng harapan ng mga Binay vice mayor nila by treating him like he does not exist. Your comment is immature.

  12. nicknick nicknick

    The Kew Maze garden copied by Dr. Binay completely dwarfs the maze garden found at the back of Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria! May delusion sigurong royalties ang mga Binays. Gusto pang taubin si Imeldific! hahaha!

    Ellen,

    Sana nga magkatotoo ang hula mo.

    Sumusugal si Binay na manhid at bulag ang taong bayan.

    Sana naman makita ng taong bayan kung ano ang ginagawang pag iwas ni Binay sa mga paratang sa kanya

    Sana itanong nila sa kanya o di kaya sa sarili nila: Bakit hindi pa rin hinaharap ang mga paratang e pinapayagan na ng Senate Blue Ribbon na si Binay mismo ang mag cross-examine sa mga testigo?

    #9, Nancy ikaw ba yan ? wag nang humirit at lalung mabobokya. Nagdudumilat ang katotohanan. kung ibinenta nga ang malawak na lupain ng TATAY MO, nasaan ang pinag bilhan, ang kinita. bakit wala sa SALN ? doon lang ay huling-huli na. kaya Nancy wag ka nang humirit.

  17. Maraming nagawa si Marcos bilang pangulo ng bansa na para sa ikabubuti ng mga tao. Pinagtulungan siya na patalsikin ng mga tao na inggit sa kanya. Na ngayon ang mga tao na dahilan para siya mapatalsik sa puwesto ay mayayaman na at naging politiko rin ang iba. Halimbawa si Binay, sa panahon ni Marcos ay sumasama din siya sa pagrally kontra kay Marcos ayun sa nabasa ko sa diaryo, si Enrile, si Honasan, at ang aquino family at iba pa. Pero ang mga ordinaryong mamamayan na sumama sa pag rally ay ano ang kabuhayan sa ngayon. Kung wala ang mga sibilyan o ordinaryong mamamayan sa pag rally ay hindi mapapatalsik si Marcos sa puwesto.

    If Janet Napoles who lacked the sophistication and political cleverness of a Binay can create a humongous scam and if not for kidnapping her own nephew may not even have been exposed until now,then Binay may as well breEze with this one and hook up with Another survivor in BongBong Marcos and give their middle fingers salute to their would be “assasins” and say now where do we start?

    Goldberg @ 13 that is Very state of health care not because of lack of fund but because they were a Abused.
    The other day I read about a couple DONATING $10 millions to the Orthopaedic dept of Mt Sinai Hospital in our city for its research and funds for developing treatment for the patients. Although are a Tax funded health care our govt is struggling to meet the health care. Needs of the aging population and the privileged are Pitching in. Last few months Ms Emmanuel’s Gattuso handed an additional $ 50 millions cheque for the Princess Margaret Hospital for its Cancer research and personalized cancer care for Breast cancer patient. She is a breast cancer survivor. A payback than you to princess Margaret.

    What’s the matter with Arvin? Does he want to bring back Macoy from the dead? Even if that’s impossible?

    Maybe he wants Bongbong, et al to again pillage and plunder the Philippines. What a sucker that Arvin is. He should just go a blog that is Macoy dedicated.

    This paid hack is getting to be too irritating.

  26. Golberg Golberg

    Vic @26 I don’t think that its it was just abused.

    I could no longer remember when was the last time our politicians thought of being “NOBLE”. Instead of thinking of themselves and their pockets, they would rather think of the welfare of other people.

    I saw someone who gave a new very meaningful definition of “POLITICS” POLI=many;TICS or TICKS=you know what they are.

    Arvin is just comparing the quality of the politicians of yesterday from the politicians of today.

    You see the MRT line along EDSA. Its just 15 or 16 years old and it already met an accident. The first one from Baclaran to Monumento; you may hear technical glitches but not that kind of accident we knew about the first one I mentioned.

    But, anyway POLITICIANS are not good to hear or to be heard. I wonder when are we going to have a good STATESMAN of STATESMEN.

    mahusay at mautak talaga si mercado. matapos niyang pakinabangan si binay ay kanya ngayon itong ginugutay sa harap ng taong bayan. palibhasa ay wala ng political career bunga na rin ng kanyang sariling kasibaang binibigay na ang braso ay gusto pang sakmalin ang buong katawan.

    ang nakakadismaya sa on-going senate hearing ay ang pagiging conclusive ng mga nakaupo sa BRC at etits, este ethics committee na hindi pa man lubusang napapatunayan ang sala ng isinasakdal ay hinuhusgahan kaagad. ano ba itong hearing na ito – in aid of legislation o in aid of persecution?

    sino ba ang pulitikong hindi nakinabang sa puwestong inuupuan, direkta o hindi?

    kung sa panahong ito na pinagpapakamatayan at ipinagpapatayan ang maihalal sa poder na pinaglalawayan ng mga hindi gustong magtrabaho kundi ang pumasok sa pulitika ay merong makakatayo sa harap ng libingan ng kanilang mga yumaong magulang at buong lakas na maipagsisigawan na ni kusing ay wala silang pinakinabangan sa bawat pondong inilaan sa kanilang opisina ay maniniwala ang taong bayan na sila na nga ang pag-asa ng bayan.

    haaay buhay. parang life. kapag nawala, patay!

    Kredibilidad ng Senado nakokompromiso

    “………Ano ba ang facts of the case batay sa mga dokumento na nasa SALN ni VP Binay at records ng Securities and Exchange Commission at Philippine Stocks Exchange?

    Taong 1994 hanggang 2010 ay nag-lease ang mga Binay ng siyam na ektarya sa naturang property para sa negosyo nilang babuyan pero ibinenta noong 2010 sa Agrifortuna, Inc., isang kumpanya na pag-aari ni Laureano Gregorio na engaged rin sa hog nur­sery sa parehong area kung saan rin nagkaroon ng babu­yan ang mga Binay.

    Ang lahat ng imporma­syon tungkol sa single proprietor piggery business ng mga Binay na i­binenta na nila ay nakasaad sa kanyang SALN.

    Kumpleto rin ang record sa SEC at PSE kung papaanong na-acquire ng Sunchamp mula sa Agrifortuna ang pagmamay-ari ng 145-hectare (hindi 350 hectares) property sa Rosario, Batangas……..”

    Isang Tui pala ang may ari ng lupa at pina arriendo lang kay Binay. Aircon ang piggery para walang langaw at mabilis lumaki ang mga baboy. Para sa foreign markets ito. Meron din poultry farm yan sa taas ng bundok. Mahirap puntahan at aircon din. Hindi ka agad makakapasok. Ganun din, para sa foreign markets ito. Daming pera ni Binay, dolyares pa! Tayo, tiis nalang sa mga nilalangaw na pagkain. Lol!

    Ang tanong dito ay kung may mangyayari ba sa pag imbistiga nila. May mapapakulong ba sila. May mapapa alis ba sila sa naka upo sa puwesto. Puro imbistiga sila wala naman nakukuhang ganti ang bayan natin.

    Moro Moro lang lagi sila. Ginagawang tanga lang ang bansa natin. Sinong gago kaya di naniniwala na walang ginagawang kagaguhan ang mga Binay.

    Tadtad ng ebidensiya pero sayang lang at ni isa ay wala pang nakakamit na hustisya ang bayan natin.

    Dito lang sa atin na kung sino ang magnanakaw ay binoboto pa ng mga tao.

  35. Jake Las Pinas Jake Las Pinas

    Problem here is the Filipino people are not citizens but are subjects. The politicians are not leaders but rulers. That is why these so called leaders of the land act with impunity.

  36. Taong 1994 hanggang 2010 ay nag-lease ang mga Binay ng siyam na ektarya sa naturang property para sa negosyo nilang babuyan pero ibinenta noong 2010 sa Agrifortuna, Inc., isang kumpanya na pag-aari ni Laureano Gregorio na engaged rin sa hog nur­sery sa parehong area kung saan rin nagkaroon ng babu­yan ang mga Binay.

    Gumawa rin lang ng press release, damning evidence pa. Pulpol na dahilan. Taranta na siguro sa dami ng kasinungalingang magic na paliwanag.

    Akalain mo, ni-lease lang pala tapos ibinenta daw? Aba e kung hindi pala illegal yung ganoon e palalayasin ko na itong mga nag-lease ng apartment namin. Baka ibenta sa iba!

  37. Sa mga hindi nakakaintindi ng takbo ng negosyo lalo na yung nagpapanggap na legal, hindi gagastos ang isang kumpanya para lang magyabang. Kailanman hindi maja-justify ni Tiu sa kanyang mga stockholders (kung tutoong may ibang stockholders) kung bakit kailangan ng isang magastos at magarbong KEW GARDEN, swimming pool, man-made lagoon, mansyon, at kung anik-anik pa sa isang agri-tourism park kuno. Lalo nang hindi mangyayari ang ganyan dahil PUBLICLY-LISTED sa PSE ang Greenenergy Holdings at AgriNurture Inc.

    Nung mabalitaan nung araw na iyon na maanomalya ang dalawang kumpanya, agad nalaglag ang value ng stocks ng dalawa by about 15%. The stocks were dumped like smelly crap because the mere sight of the unnecessary fixtures in the property that does nothing to benefit the business. Most probably just to feed the Binays’ delusion of grandeur. Stockholders were convinced the company modus has been busted.

    Agri-tourism daw? Dafuq! Ni walang hotel or simply a lounging area man lang? Sino’ng gago mag-iinvest ng billions worth of money sa isang tourism venture na walang lodging? Hindi kailangan ng MBA or PHD dito para sabihing ito’y isang bogus operation. If you can trace every share of stock outside of the small active speculators in the bourse, I’m sure the Binays’ assignee (dummy) owns almost all of it.

  38. Ngayon naman, yung Tagaytay property naman daw naibenta na rin noong 2012 pa. Nasaan ang pinagbentahan? Nakareflect ba sa SALN? Sino’ng bumili? Magkano?

    Ngayon pa lang di na magkandaugaga AMLC, COA at BIR sa dami ng bank account na hinuhukay kay Binay pa lang.

    Kaya si Binay di na sumasagot kasi kada sasagot siya, sasampalan siya ng mas mabigat na ebidensya lalo siyang mababaon. Sabi ni Rene Bondal halos araw-araw may nagvo-volunteer ng bagong info hindi siguro kakayanin ng staff nila Trillanes at Cayetano pagve-verify pa lang. E si Mercado pa lang aabutan na ng kampanya sa 2015 sa dami ng alam.

    “Trace the roots.”

    From MUSX Corp. (with several subsidiaries and with partnership with Lodestar Investment Holdings Corp.) to becoming Greenergy Holdings, Inc. that acquired Sunchamp.

    Barber Mang Bernie (in conversation with Manung) further added, “Go after the people and the monies that changed hands…if truly the monies changed hands.

    The names of Abi Binay’s law partners suspiciously appear in some of the documents.

    James Tiu, the brother of Antonio “Tony” Tiu, is also involved in the corporate affairs suspected to have links with the Binays.

    Wala namang dokumento siyempre na magsasaad na ‘dummy’ ni Binay ang mga Tiu-Tiu.

    Maski ang mga Choo-choo ni Abi Binay ay kunwang incorporators lang.

    Kung si Gregory Ong ay nadale sa “Guilt by Association,” gusto ng mga Binay na maabsuwelto naman sa ‘mabangong’ pangalan…

    “Exoneration by Close Association” naman ang diskarte…

  42. Lumang practice na sa Pinas yang pekeng divestment. Nung naging presidente si Cory, ipinamana sa mga anak yung shares niya sa Luisita. Si Joe Concepcion, ibinenta kuno kay Joey Concepcion (anak) yung shares niya. Si Erap, ang daming nag-front sa kanyang mga properties at kumpanya. Si Taba, ganun di nung panahon ni Gloria, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera…

    Itong kay Binay di na niya maipamana sa mga anak niya dahil SOBRANG YAMAN na sila wala namang mga hanapbuhay. Mas mainit sa mata kung may sisilip. Kaya presto! kumuha ng isa sa mga barkada na pwedeng magpanggap na may-ari ng kunwari. Sigurado namang merong automatikong Deed of Assignhment agad yan na ibinabalik sa mga Binay ang pagmamay-ari. Sa mga dokumentong hawak ng gobyerno, sa pamamagitan ng BIR, LRA, SEC, DENR, DA, DAR, atbp Si Tiu at ang kumpanya niya ang opisyal may-ari samantalang ni hindi naman niya nahipo man lang ang ari-arian ni Binay ay naka-assign na uli kay Binay.

    Basahin ninyo doon sa link ni Baycas, ni minsan ni hindi nabanggit na kasama sa pag-aari ni Tiu ang magarbong 350 hectare farm sa Batangas. Sabihin na natin na agri-related ang negosyo niya, pero wala sa history ng negosyo ni Tiu ang mag-alaga libong mga manok at mga kabayong pangarera, at orchids.

    Ang forte at experience ni Tiu ay sa manufacturing – Electronics, food processing, canning, etc. Biglang papasok sa Agri-tourism kuno?

    Kung sana lahat ng Pinoy kasing bobo nung mga bumoboto sa kanya, lulusot siya. Kaso merong ilang nakapagaral na hindi kayang paikutin ng mga pipitsuging miyembro ng Binay Broadcasting Corporation na kulang yata ang bayad kaya nabubuko sa sariling press release.

  43. Ayun! Kaya pala parang narinig ko na itong Mabuhay 2000 (na naging AgriNurture Inc.) Nandun sa link ni Baycas (#6) sa COA audit report nung 2002 nabanggit ang Mabuhay 2000 na supplier kuno ng US Hospital Beds. Yun pala made in Taiwan lang. (Item#5 page 5 of pdf file)

    Yung beds na isinupply ng Apollo Medical Equipment and Supplies they claimed were manufactured by UGM-Medisys of New Jersey, USA. But the import documents showed that the origin of the beds were from a Taiwanese company whose exclusive distributor in the Philippines was Mabuhay 2000 Enterprises.

    There’s your smoking gun!

    Masyado atang maaga itong October surprise na ito; two years early.

    Dahil masyadong maaga, kapag nalaglag si Binay, may panahon pa para may umusbong na iba. It will not stop Mar Roxas from being a serial loser. Sino ang adviser niyan? Si Pascual Racuyal? Yung masyadong bata, i-google niyo.

    Teka. Elections ba ang pakay? What happened to the DAP? Nagkalimutan na. Karumal-dumal man ang portrayal kay Binay, mas malaki ang pera ng DAP, sa nakaraang mga taon, at sa 2015 budget.

    Mission accomplished Mercado.

  45. sax, matagal ka na ngang absent sa lokal na eksena. Campaign period na. Yung premature period, ha. Meron nang mga TV ads ang mga politiko. Lagi kong napapanood yung kay Cayetano. Matitigil lang yan pag officially bawal na – after filing ng Cert of Candidacy.

  46. saxnviolins saxnviolins

    I was talking about the effect. Magbunga man ang demolition job na yan, by election time, limot na yan.

    So kung mag-survive si Binay, wala ring saysay ang demolition job, dahil limot na. Kung malaglag man si Binay, it will not benefit Roxas, dahil alaws PR.

    Kung ako lang, tago ko ang alas, at isisiwalat ko bago mag-election. Bigyan ko ng false sense of security ang kalaban, bago ang delubyo.

    Sun Tzu

    All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.

    What is essential in war is victory, not prolonged operations. There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.

    Kaya bang i-sustain yan ng dalawang taon? No. It will peter out. Yan ang problema ng CPT (Cayetano, Pimentel and Trillanes). CaPuT yan kapag hindi na-sustain. They are suffering from PE. Premature electioneering, not the other PE.

    Again, what happened to the focus on the DAP? DAPa na ba? Note the short attention span of the Pinoy. Ganyan din ang mangyayari diyan. I believe Binay is now singing a Mick Jagger oldie – Time Is On My Side.

  47. saxnviolins saxnviolins

    Can Tiu or Binay et al ask the Supreme Court to restrain the sub-committee if they are compelled by the Senate to appear? Case law says yes, in a case involving the shoe being on the other foot.

    In the case of Bengzon et al v the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee

    lawphil.net/judjuris/juri1991/nov1991/gr_89914_1991.html

    On 13 September 1988, the Senate Minority Floor Leader, Hon. Juan Ponce Enrile delivered a speech “on a matter of personal privilege” before the Senate on the alleged “take-over of SOLOIL Incorporated, the flagship of the First Manila Management of Companies (FMMC) by Ricardo Lopa” and called upon “the Senate to look into the possible violation of the law in the case, particularly with regard to Republic Act No. 3019, the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.”

    Lopa is Cory’s brother-in-law.

    The Supreme Court held that the investigation was not in aid of legislation, and “the respondent Senate Blue Ribbon Committee is hereby enjoined from compelling the petitioners and intervenor to testify before it and produce evidence at the said inquiry.”

    In that case, the petitioners were already being prosecuted before the Sandiganbayan. In this case, there was already, a Sandiganbayan case, where the Heidi audit was discredited. Aling Conching is already about to, or investigating the Binays. If she finds probable cause, then it becomes a matter within the jurisdiction of the Sandiganbayan. At least, the matter of corruption is within her office’s jurisdiction, not the Senate.

    If it can be proven that the Senate investigation is not in aid of legislation, Tiu et al may ask that they not be compelled to appear.

    How to determine the intent of the investigation? The ponente, Justice Padilla (a Cory appointee, like the majority then) says look to the resolution itself, and the speech sponsoring the resolution.

    In essence, the majority was saying:

    If it ain’t your turf, butt out. If it ain’t to produce laws, then it ain’t your damn business.

    Of course, the phraseology was more formal and elegant than mine.

    In concurring, Justice Paras opined:

    I concur principally because any decision of the respondent committee may unduly influence the Sandiganbayan.

    It was an 11-3 decision, with three dissents – Narvasa, Gutierrez and Isagani Cruz.

  48. Sa takbo ng events, I wouldn’t be surprised kung humantong ito sa impeachment. Especially now na kasama na NBI sa paghukay ng mga ebidensya.

    Isang ex-president, isang Chief Justice, isang Senate President, at ngayon, isang Vice-president. Si Belmonte lang hindi nagalaw. Pati Constitutional officers – Ombudsman Gutierrez, Comelec chairman Abalos – walang pinalampas. For me, it’s a good sign. Yung mga sumabit sa DAP at PDAF, it’s just a matter of time…sana.

  49. From Ephraim K. Fermin:

    I and my family are based abroad but we have been keeping abreast of the ongoing probes into the Binay family corruption.

    It makes me really sad that all the efforts we have put to gain our freedoms back in 1986 are for naught, and that there is no clear, clean and decisive leadership in the country. I wring my hands and shake my head at the inutile, inept, and corrupt leadership in our country.

    Please continue your exposes – the Binay family makes me sick to the core and I pity the countrymen who will be robbed of their heritage even more when these evil ones gain more power.

    As a courtesy, please accept my creation of a logo that conveys my disgust – its my FB profile photo but I would gladly share to anyone to print as a T-shirt, bumper sticker, slogan et al.

    Thank you very much,

  50. Something funny came out of the Senate hearing last Wednesday. Thanks Professional Heckler for this screenshot.

    During that hearing last Wednesday, Antonio Tiu explained that he does not have the title to the Hacienda Binay even if he says he was the owner because what he has is the “usufruct.”

    Usufruct means the legal right of using and enjoying the fruits or profits of something belonging to another person. Apparently, the one in charge of running the onscreen updates was not familiar with the word “usufruct.” He thought “use of rock.”

    Usufruct use of rock

  51. Naloko na. Ang lalabas dito,Antonio Tiu paid P446 million for the “use of rock” in Hacienda Binay.

    Napakamahal naman na bato yan na ngayon ay naging pamukpuk sa ulo niya.
