Leni Robredo misdeclared MERALCO stocks possibly worth 6 million pesos!

By -


Leni Robredo admitted to Mike Enriquez during a radio interview on May 9 that she owned stocks at Meralco. She also admitted that such had a value of 95k pesos in 1995.

Robredo did not declare the value of these stocks, and while she declared owning stocks, the value of such is not listed in her SALN as an asset.

Now after doing some crowd-sourcing and math, here is what I found out.

I could not get the share prices of Meralco stocks in 1995. What I got thanks to Carlos A Jr Cortes is the value in 2000 which is 4 pesos per share.

Using this, and this is even conservative since the price in 1995 must have been lower than 4 pesos, then Robredo owned at least 23,750 shares of stocks (95k divided by 4).

The current share price of Meralco is 272 pesos per share. If we use this value, then Robredo has at least 6.46 milion pesos (at least 23,750 shares multiplied by 272 pesos per share) of assets which she failed to declare in her SALN.

Using the Corona precedent, this is an impeachable offense.

And this does not even include the fact that she did not divest from Meralco, in violation of Article VII, Section 13 of the 1987 Constitution.

Here is the transcript of Robredo's convo with Mike Enriquez.

Several things are clear here:

1.  She admits to having shares in Meralco.
2.  She admits that the value of the shares in 1995 was 95k (22 years ago)
3.  She admits divesting in other business interests but not in Meralco.

Fact is, while Robredo declared the shares in her SALN, SHE DID NOT INDICATE THE VOLUME OR VALUE, and such was not included in her assets.

Hence, she misdeclared in her SALN.

And by the Corona precedent, that is an impeachable offense.

ROBREDO: Siguro dahil wala naman talagang basehan. Wala kaming kopya nung impeachment complaint, pero yung nakukuha namin sa balita ay iyong mga sinabi nilang mga basehan. Parang hindi naman ito…hindi naman ito pang-impeachment. Alam ninyo iyong impeachment, dapat siya iyong last recourse, pero iyong mga sinasabi nila, hindi din totoo. Halimbawa iyong reklamo nilang meron akong Meralco shares na hindi dineclare, naka-declare po iyon sa SALN.  

ENRIQUEZ: Share sa Meralco, gaano katagal na kayong meron noon?

ROBREDO: 1995 po.

ENRIQUEZ:  1995.

ROBREDO: 95,000 worth.

ENRIQUEZ: Magkano?

ROBREDO: P95,000.

ENRIQUEZ: Nung 1995, magkano na ngayon iyon?

ROBREDO: Actually, hindi ko alam.

ENRIQUEZ: So mula nung 1995, hindi ninyo binebenta, hindi ninyo---

ROBREDO: Hindi, kaunti lang naman siya. Parang—kung hindi ako nagkakamali, 10 pesos o 100 pesos iyong isang share.

ENRIQUEZ: Ah ganoon.

ROBREDO: Alam ninyo iyong 1995, may mga nagbenta noon doon sa amin, bumili iyong asawa, pero every year, after 1995, naka-declare siya.

ENRIQUEZ: Opo. Bukod po sa mga shares sa Meralco, may iba pa bang korporasyon kung saan kayo may sapi o share?

ROBREDO: Ngayon po, wala na. Dahil nung nag-Congresswoman ako, nag-divest kami. Pero dati kasi may korporasyon iyong pamilya ng asawa ko. Nung public official pa iyong asawa ko, kabahagi ako ng korporasyon, pero nung nag-Congresswoman ako, nag-divest ako.

Leni Robredo has become a sad mechanical puppet and an embarrassment to Filipinos

By -

Guess who has taken over Leila de Lima’s place on the anti-Duterte international speaking circuit? Watch this video that Leni Robredo made for an international NGO event in Vienna tomorrow. Warning: this will REALLY make your blood boil. If you have vertigo, sit down and take a deep breath before watching. You know what’s really sickening about this video? It’s not even the lies and exaggerations that Robredo is saying about what’s going on in the Philippines and how Pinoys feel about it (as if she’s in any position to speak for the Filipino people, who mostly hate her guts). It’s the hollowness and emptiness of the way she mechanically reads from a script that obviously someone else wrote. She’s making huge claims about thousands of people being summarily killed by police, but her eyes and voice are absolutely empty of emotion or conviction. She’s just a puppet playing a role, who doesn’t even understand what she’s doing or saying, she’s just mindlessly following her owner’

Victims of drug-crazed addicts don't get 'trending' hashtags like #JusticeForKian

For the past few days I was doing research on a few things like I said. A new FB friend sent me a message telling me about a Dad in Dumaguete who lost his only daughter to a drug crazed addict who used 7 knives to stab her and a friend in Siquijor last April. I did the research, read up on everything and his recent "upheavals". I need not tell you all that I have no words to fully express how deeply this affects me because I am a single mom with a daughter too. His only daughter was even 3 - 4 months pregnant when she and her friend was mercilessly stabbed to death so many times by a drug addict. Nino Pinero is a professor in Siliman University. He is a coach. Given what I have read about this gentleman, he is a very compassionate man, a loving father and being a coach to youngsters - deeply loved by his students. And I would like to give him his privacy in as much as I can. 100% respect for this man. His recent "upheavals" came with the pronouncements

What Yellowtards fear: Irrelevance and redemption for the Marcoses and Arroyos

By -

It's not really a Duterte dictatorship that Yellowtards fear but a looming Macapagal-Marcos political alliance. The scions of Cong Dadong and Apo Lakay are on a mission of redemption. They want history to be kinder to their respective plights. In the case of GMA, she wants to be remembered as the President who did more for the country post-Marcos and not the President who replaced Erap in a civil-military coup. She also wants to remove the ignominious circumstances of her detention for five years on trumped up charges. In the case of Bongbong, the Marcoses have been enjoying a renaissance already. Nothing would validate this more than a return to Malacañan as President or Prime Minister depending​ on the outcome of the move to amend the Constitution. Should the alliance come to fruition, the Yellowtards and their minions will be confined to the political dustbin of history. ----------------------- RG San Luis as posted on Facebook .

Senate Lascanas and Motabato Show an LP ploy to create more ammo for int'l media vs Duterte

By -

I think Lascanas really did have a murder-for-hire racket going on with Matobato. So all those murders he said he committed are most probably true. The question is, did Duterte order those murders? Can it be proven that he ordered them? Not likely. Those charges against Duterte have been around for thirty years and no one has been able to prove them. It's not likely they can be proven now. And it doesn't matter, because that's not the real goal of the Liberal Party. The real goal of the LP-sponsored Lascanas/Matobato Show at the Senate is to produce new anti-Duterte content for the international media. Why do you think the "diary" of Lascanas is in perfect English with not a single Tagalog or Bisaya word in it? What the LP doesn't realize is that no matter what Lascanas says, it won't change people's minds about Duterte. If anything, Lascanas's berdugo stories will just strengthen Duterte's legend as the Punisher. Most people I know vot
