Lim resignation leaves Lapid ‘safe’?

VERA Files

The resignation of Tourism Secretary Alberto Lim has left unresolved the problem with a politically well-connected tourism official he has brought to the attention of President Aquino.

Highly reliable sources said Lim has informed President Benigno S. Aquino III about alleged questionable activities of Mark Lapid, chief operating officer of Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA).

But he was told to wait until Congress had passed the Malacanang-initiated postponement of the election in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao as they needed the vote of Lapid’s father, Sen. Lito Lapid, according to source.

Lapid was former boyfriend of Aquino’s youngest sister Kris.

A former governor of Pampanga, Lapid’s position was also initially listed among the “midnight” or eleventh-hour appointments of then outgoing President Gloria Arroyo.

    Marami palang naging bf ni Kris. Parang malakas ang bulong ng mga PNoy sisters.

    Let the man be. . Noong pumalpak sa “Pilipinas kay Ganda”, everybody and his brother were screaming for his head. Now that the poor guy had resigned, dami namang iba-ibang speculations. . .Ano ba talaga Kuya?

    #3 Bagong luma na sigurong balita na naging bf ni kris si Senator … puro brusko yata lahat ang ex ni sis. .

    Kaya palagay ko itong si Escudero at Binay na nababalitang bf ni sis ay walang katotohanan dahil hanap talaga ay yong mahahaba’ng bulas. 🙁 🙁 🙁

    Pinaglalaruan lang tayo ng mga politiko

  7. #5. Tedanz, si Mark Lapid, ang dating gubernador ng Pampanga, and naging boyfriend ni Kris, hindi si Lito Lapid, ang senador.

  8. Nung kuwestiyunin si Lito Lapid tungkol sa mala-palasyo niyang bahay at malalawak na bukirin:

    “Matagal ko nang pangarap yan. Bata pa ako gustung-gusto ko nang maging FARMERS.”

    Alin, yung sa Cubao? Gusto niyang maging palengke, o mall?

    Ito ba yung Lapid na magpapakasal sana sa isang actress kaya lang naudlot dahil may lumitaw na Koreana na asawa pala niya? Talagang ang mga Lapids eh matinik sa mga girls…Siyempre kasama ng bisyong yan ay datong. Then corruption follows. Di ba itong Lapid din na ito ang involved sa quarry corruption sa Pampanga?

  10. Di ba itong Lapid din na ito ang involved sa quarry corruption sa Pampanga?- PSB

    Yes. A case has been filed against him at the Ombudsman

    Ito ba yung Lapid na magpapakasal sana sa isang actress kaya lang naudlot dahil may lumitaw na Koreana na asawa pala niya?

    I’m not sure. But in 2010, he got married to a former actress,Tanya Garcia.

    Can someone please remind P-Noy of promise #11 in his social contract: “From Presidential appointees chosen mainly out of political accommodation to discerning selection based on integrity, competence and performance in serving the public good.”
