Bayan Muna Representative Teddy Casiño's hypocritical extension of condolence to Jesse Robredo #salamatjesse #epalwatch

By -
Have I said enough already about the duplicity commies are famous for? Perhaps not yet. A press release issued by Malacañang today includes this statement from one of them:
Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Teddy Casino said he sends his sincere condolences to the family and friends of Secretary Robredo.

“Secretary Jesse was an outstanding local chief executive and a very competent Department Secretary. He was one of the few Cabinet members who we truly respected and appreciated. We were witness to his compassion for the informal settlers whose violent demolitions we both tried to stop. His death is a big loss to the cause of good governance,” he said.

Funny that, considering some time ago, Casiño's politburo was reportedly calling for Robredo's head to be served on a platter...
Umapela ngayon si DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo sa mga kritiko na isantabi muna ang panawagang magbitiw ito sa puwesto habang hindi pa natatapos ang imbestigasyon ng Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC).

Ilan sa mga nananawagan para sa pagbibitiw ni Robredo ay ang Bayan Muna partylist at ilang kongresistang kababayan pa ng kalihim sa Bicol.

Translation:
DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo appealed to critics to defer their call for him to resign his position until the Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC) completes its investigation.

A number of House Representatives have been calling for Robredo's resignation including Bayan Muna partylist along with a number of congressmen who also hail from Robredo's hometown in Bicol.

    As public servants, all politicians are prone to criticism. Teddy Casiño has been criticized by other officials and netizens that have yet to prove their worth in any government position. But that does not stop him from working with them (including Robredo) for the benefit of the people. After the said hostage crisis issue, Robredo and Casiño worked together to aid informal settlers. Most recently, the late DILG Sec and Casiño worked to restore electricity in Pantabangan town in Nueva Ecija.

    Eventually, the two gained each other's trust and respect. Casiño does not hold personal grudges against people, only against the wrongs that they do, especially if they are unapologetic about it.

    And anyone sincere in pushing for the rights of Filipinos will most gain respect and admiration.

    Don't by the excuse from Casino's PR man. So what if they suddenly "gained" each other's trust? Are you also saying that other TRAPO's are also right to whitewash their crimes by simply sending their condolences? Come on, this isn't the first time that Casino has criticized without basis. This just happens to be the first time the one he criticized happened to be an outstanding public official who died in a tragic accident.

Duterte BPI bank scandal a trap set for Trillanes?

By -

There are now papers floating around that the BPI account in Julia Vargas has a running balance of around Php22,000xx from March 2015 to March 2016. It's peanuts, and Trillanes makes a big fuzz about it? Sonamagan, even call center agents would have this kind of bank accounts; definitely does not show a corrupt DU30. And then, Trillanes talks of 42 real estate properties, but mostly owned by the children of DU30. Yet, the first one that media checks is a unit in P Guevarra, which is only valued at 2.3 million. Even ordinary employees could buy such unit. That could hardly buy just the main door, an imported antique, in the house of Binay, which has been valued at 15 million, yes just the freaking door by itself. What is this, they are again using trial by publicity, which they effectively used on CJ Corona whom they accused him of having 80 properties. In the end, it comes out Corona had only four properties, three of which was purchased for investment purposes only. I don'...

Day 2: Senate hearing backfires against a rattled Senator Leila de Lima!

By -

Just watched Day 2 of Senate hearing. Tables were turned once again on De Lima, without any effort it seems from the PNP or Duterte's senate allies. This must really be karma at work, or Duterte's magic is really strong. De Lima opened the session by saying she had asked ABS-CBN, Inquirer, and GMA 7 to submit their "kill list" databases and methodology for compiling the lists. However, only GMA 7 submitted. Strange. If those lists were being prepared properly, shouldn't these media groups have their databases and methodology on hand at any time? Or were those lists haphazardly done? Sandra Cam showed up in the middle of the hearing and sat directly behind De Lima. But Cam disappeared after a while, so viewers were not treated to scratching and hair-pulling. A group of women wearing dark glasses, masks, and headscarfs sat in a row on one area–I don't know why De Lima made them dress like jihadist terrorists, but they were her witnesses. (No offense mean...

Over 100M-peso cost of #DongYanWedding shouldered by GMA Network as publicity investment!

By -
Image
I was correct with my gut feelings. My friendly butiki, who listens to everything inside the executive offices of GMA7, confirmed that it was the network that paid for everything (repeat, everything) in the so called 'royal wedding'. It was over Php100m on the wedding day alone, not including other expenses in the pre-nuptial activities. This is an eye-popping amount if it is just a wedding expense (as I am one of those who think that a 20m wedding is already stupid and insensitive in a Third World setting, even if one could afford a 500m one). Over 100m, however, is a justifiable amount, even cheap vis-a-vis the ROI, if it is accounted as marketing and advertising expense of a large corporation that regularly spends much more anyway in their ads and promos. If the network has been able to project that their signature stars are bigger than those from competition, then they would have been able to deliver the message that GMA7 is the bigger kid in the block (don't get me...
