A news item in today’s (Aug. 19, 2006) issue of Malaya.
by Wendell Vigilia
AN opposition congressman yesterday accused “immediate members” of the family of President Arroyo of hiding a multi-million dollar bank account in a German bank.
In a TV interview, Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano (NP, Taguig-Pateros) declined to identify the owners of the account but said it is inside one of the seven boxes of evidence that were not opened in the impeachment hearings at the House.
Cayetano, spokesman of the pro-impeachment team, has said in the impeachment hearings last Wednesday that the money is kept under account No. 87570-23030-32100-6271-571 in the Hypo-und Vereins Bank AG in Munchen.In a phone interview, Cayetano dared the Arroyos to issue a waiver allowing the scrutiny of all “fictitious” bank accounts which could be traced to their ownership.
“Dapat sumagot sila (Arroyos). Dalawa lang ang paraan para malaman ang totoo dito. Una ay ituloy dapat ang impeachment. Ang ikalawa ay ang ginawa ni Sen. Panfilo Lacson na pumirma ng waiver upang mabuksan ang ano mang bank account na mai-uugnay sa kanya,” he said.
The House committee on justice on Wednesday dismissed the eighth impeachment complaint against President Arroyo, thus denying opposition lawmakers the opportunity to open the boxes.
Rep. Mikey Arroyo (Lakas, Pampanga) denied the allegation. “Haka-haka lamang yan,” he told a radio interview. “These allegations are just mudslinging tactics,” he said.Cayetano said the burden of proof lies with the accused. “Kung sasabihing haka-haka lamang ito, bakit ‘di sila maglabas ng waiver para mabuksan ang any fictitious name of any account to clear their names,” he said.
One of the “causes of actions” in the new impeachment complaint accuses the President of “engaging in graft and corruption, entering into illegal government contracts and criminally concealing her conjugal assets.”
It said the President and First Gentleman Mike Arroyo concealed their conjugal assets through the Jose Pidal accounts and acquired money from the Piatco bribery, the Northrail project, jueteng and as well as the illegal withholding of interior revenue allotments of local governments.
Upon the respondent’s assumption to the presidency in 2001, the complaint said “she restored and allowed the proliferation of jueteng nationwide, and appointed law enforcement officials who acted as conduits in the payment to her of jueteng payola.”
“Respondent received monthly jueteng payola amounting to at least P 1 million per region through her spouse/congressman-son/brother-in-law (Rep. Ignacio Arroyo of Negros Occidental). The respondent used jueteng proceeds to bankroll her 2004 presidential campaign, to finance massive electoral fraud, and to bribe government officials,” it said.
The complaint said that when the Arroyo filed her statement of assets and liabilities and net worth in February 2001, “she concealed ownership of various properties and business interests pertaining to her and her spouse, and willfully failed to pay the taxes due on these properties and the income derived from them, in violation of the disclosure requirements under the code of conduct and ethical standards for public officials and employees, applicable tax laws, and the constitutional provisions on the accountability of public officials.”
The alleged concealed conjugal properties and business interests include real estate properties and the money realized from the re-sale of several of the properties located in California acquired and managed though LTA Realty Corp., which include a five-story apartment building at 737 Bush street in San Francisco; a condominium unit a 1176 Sacramento street corner Van Ness avenue in San Francisco; a residence at 2425 Tipperary avenue also in San Francisco; a building at 727 Gellert boulevard, Daly City, California, and a 24-room building at 151 Austin street in San Francisco.
It also says that the President owns a 60,758-square meter parcel of land in Caloocan City covered by TCT No. 153151 and titled to Jose Miguel T. Arroyo, the President’s husband, and the President herself.
The family also has a cash deposit in the Bank of the Philippine Islands-Family Bank in the Makati-Perea branch under account No. 661-5-00497-7 in the name of Jose Pidal which the complaint said is “actually owned and controlled by her (President’s) husband, Jose Miguel R. Arroyo.”
“After the Jose Pidal account of Jose Miguel T. Arroyo was exposed, which account was claimed by respondent’s brother-in-law, Mr. Ignacio T. Arroyo, the respondent failed and refused, as she continues to fail and refuse, to cause the prosecution of Jose Pidal for tax fraud for failure to report his income subject of the Jose Pidal account. Her mis-declaration of assets and liabilities continues,” it said.
It also alleges that the Arroyos have business interests in DM Press Inc., Raco Trading Phil. Inc. Trans Realty Co. Inc., Aviatica Travel and Management Corp., Eva development corp. and Pacific Mint International Corp., JMA Agricultural Development Corp. and Alaja Agro-industrial Corp.
Aba’y talaga namang ginagaya si marcos at imelda!
Malaki talaga ang “kita” lalo na kapag nasa itaas ka, ano?
Kaya mong pagalawin ang Bansa sa mga palad mo…..
BAKIT nga ba hindi ma-imbestigahan itong mga ‘big fishes’ samantalang nasa balita ngayon, eh, dalawang govt.employees na na-lifestyle check! Dapat patas ang pagpapaganap ng HUSTISYA, di po ba? Simulan sa itaas!
“NO comment”, means “yes, I am guilty….”
KUDOS to the young Cayetano for speaking in our behalf.
I also support Chiz Escudero for his stand against the dumping of the impeachment in Congress.
May your tribe increase!
The Arroyo couple is not following the Marcoses. On the other hand, the Marcoses should learn from the Arroyos. The Arroyos are 10 times worse. Should we wait for them to steal the entire Philippine’s wealth and treasury? We must act NOW before it’s too late!
Hayan Deal or No Deal daw sabi ni FG. Kung mapatunayan na kanya ang mga milyone$$ kanya na kung hindi bigyan siya..laking yagbols naman nito, mukhang walk the walk ang gusto. Patulan kaya?
Remember at the height of the Jose Pidal Senate hearings/investigation? Mike Arroyo denied he was Jose Pidal. When evidences were so strong to deny, his brother Iggy admitted he was Pidal. Same thing’s gonna happen in this latest Germany dollar account. If there are evidences, it would be Iggy, now Congressman, who would admit and say the account is his.
So what’s new pussycat? Just about every president since the conjugal dictatorship of the Marcoses has some kind of dollar account overseas (ill gottten?). Add about a few dozen senators, a few more government officials, plus a few hundreds congressman and no wonder there were not even enough funds to evacuate our OFWs from Lebanon during the last crisis and now the country don’t have even have a technology to Clean the Oil spills in the
Beautiful island of Guimaras. It’s like killing yourself softly with your own greed. Just where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here? Take your pick…hell or get back Malacanang from this illegal occupant.
The Fat Guy is filing lots of libel suits that in more progressive countries would be considered more suspicious and subject to a backfire on him especially when he targets people who can expose him.
Now, with this expose, what more proof does the Justice Department needs to prosecute these illegal tenants of the palace by the murky river. Abaw, katarantaduhan na itong hindi pa kasuhan ang mga walanghiya with all the proofs that Filipinos with conscience are now cooperating to whistle blow!
Alas, however, the Commission on Appointments should have been careful not to approve all those appointees with close ties to the Pandak, husband, kins, friends and cronies. It’s called “conflict of interest” in legal parlance.
Tarantado din ang nag-appoint sa mga rekomendado ng mga ungas lalo iyong ombudsman na ayaw ngayon kumilos at pihadong tanggal din siya dahil nga political appointee.
If that is not being dumb, what is? On the other hand, this sacking of the impeachment, etc. is just proving in fact that the Pandak cannot claim that she alone has the right to own and rule the Philippines. In fact, she does not even qualify.
I hope the young turks in the Philippine Congress like Biazon, Cayetano, Escudero, and even the young Aquino are not doing what they have shown they are capable of doing for their country and people for just the show. At least, I know for a fact that Escudero comes from good background and breeding! Iyon lolo niyan ang dapat na may pangalan sa mga kalye hindi iyong lolo ni Pandak na wala naman ginawa kundi mag-produce ng isang pahamak, kire at ungas! 😡
Correction please, Vic. The Marcoses were not the original money launderers. I understand the Marcoses just copied his predecessor in putting money overseas! Lahat gumagawa naman niyan sa totoo lang kahit noong kauumpisa pa lang ng bagong republika. Iyon lang nga, mostly sa Tate lang. Pera ng reparations from Japan nga ninanakaw na since the time Japan started to pay kaya walang nangyari even when the Philippines got the largest payments both from Japan and the USA. Paano kinurakot na agad!!!
I was a little girl when I first heard of an infamous scandal about NARIC kasi na-involve ang isang tiya namin doon. Tapos there were the cases on the backpays, etc. Kawawa iyong mga beteranong sundalong pilipino na hindi nakapag-aral sa totoo lang dahil niloko ng mga may pinag-aralan daw pero hindi naman ginagamit sa kabutihan.
I see the same situation happening there even now, and worse because they do the corruption so brazenly. Pakapalan ng mga mukha! Susmaryosep!
I feel sorry for Filipinos for this as a matter of fact. Rather, I hated the graft and corruption that seemed to have been part and parcel of the Philippine system since the republic was created.
That is why when I found out that we were part Japanese, I decided I would like to return to my roots. It was for that reason that I studied the language even when I was still in grade school, and learn to be a real Japanese. My family settled in the USA, but I came to Japan after that.
Nevertheless, the Philippines is still home somehow, and home is where the heart is. Gusto mo mang itapon kasi bulok, hindi mo magawa! So, join the movement to cure the bulok and make the Philippines better not that I would like to go back there, build a house on my lot at Ayala-Alabang, and wait for death there!
Sana naman ang Philippine Daily Inquirer ay ilathala din ang balitang ito katulad ng ginawang paglalathala kay Erap gayundin si Karen Davila ay magkaroon ng isang segment sa The Correspondents sa balitang ito katulad ng ginawa niyang paglalahad sa mga bahay ni Erap noon.
For sure the PCIJ is already at the stage of collecting their information and in due time a report will be come out. Good luck to all investigative reporters who will open another can of worms.
ipinangangalandakan ni GMA noon sa kanyang speech na itong angkan na ninuno daw ng kanyang asawa na mula sa Marikina ay may malaking lupain na umaabot pa sa Pasig, Antipolo, Cainta, San Mateo, Mandaluyong, Sta.Mesa at Kalookan.
excerpt of GMA speech on Ka-Angkan Festival in celebration of the 372nd Founding Anniversary of Marikina City, April 20,2002:
“…mula sa mga angkan na ating pinaparangalan sa kapistahang ito ay sumulpot ang mga dakilang pilipino na nagbigay-dangal hindi lamang sa lungsod na ito kundi pati na sa buong bansa. si don laureano “kapitan moy” guevarra, ang ama ng industriya ng sapatos na nagpabantog sa marikina bilang “shoe capital of the philippines.” at ako’y nasisiyahan nung minsan nagbisita sa akin ‘yung mga foreign buyers association of the philippines, at sabi nila gusto nilang mabuhay muli ang marikina shoe industry. noon ngang 1986 — noong ako ay bagong dti assistant secretary pa nga lang, hindi pa undersecretary — noon na rin tinitingnan namin kung papaano mabuhay muli iyung marikina shoe industry. at naalala ko noon, sabi ni arturo luz — iyung head ng design center — ang kahirapan sa marikina ay ayaw silang mag-modernize ng kanilang shoelast. pero ngayon nagpapasalamat ako kay mayor marides fernando, nag-modernize na ang marikina sa shoelast, at diyan sa fame exhibit kasalukuyang ang ganda-ganda at ang daming foreign buyers na naaakit at nawiwili sa magandang sapatos at matatag at matibay na sapatos sa marikina. kaya mukhang bumabalik na muli ang marikina sa ating global market.
iba pang mga taga-marikina — dr. isaac eustaquio, isang magaling na imbentor at tanyag na pintor; si dr. servando de los angeles, kilalang manunulat na isa sa mga bumuo sa libro na nagtataglay ng kasaysayan ng marikina; si demetrio andres, ang gurong humubog hindi lamang sa kasaysayan ng bayan kundi pati na rin sa kaisipan ng mga kabataan.
at gaya ng sabi ni mayor fernando, ang kasaysayan ng marikina ay hindi magiging kumpleto kung hindi babanggitin ang angkan ng mga tuason, na kinabibilangan ng aking asawa, si first gentleman mike tuason arroyo. ito ang dahilan kung bakit malapit sa aking puso ang lungsod marikina, at itinuturing ko na rin na ako ay disendiente ng marikina.
alang-alang sa kapistahang ipinagdiriwang natin ngayon, hayaan ninyong magbalik-tanaw ako sa ugat ng mga ninuno ng aking asawa, ang son tua o tuason ng marikina.
noong ikalabingwalong siglo, ang mga tuason ay kinilalang pangunahing pamilyang chinese-filipino mestizo, hindi lamang sa binondo kung saan sila nagmula, o sa lalawigan ng maynila noon, kundi maging sa buong pilipinas na isang spanish colony. ang pinuno ng angkan ay si don antonio tuason na ang pangalan sa intsik ay son tua, na ang ibig sabihin “eldest son.” isa siyang chinese immigrant — iyung tatay niya — na naging mayaman siya naman dahil sa galleon trade. itinatag niya ang battalion of the royal prince na binuo ng 1,500 chinese mestizos. ang batalyong ito ay magiting na nakipaglaban sa british forces na nilusob ang maynila at mga karatig-lalawigan noong 1752 hanggang 1764. nagbigay din itong pamilyang ito ng malaking halaga para suportahan ang resistance movement laban sa mga ingles na kaaway.
bilang gantimpala sa kaniyang katapatan at kagandahang-loob, inilibre ng hari ng espanya ang pamilyang son tua noong 1775 sa pagbabayad ng buwis sa loob ng dalawang henerasyon. makalipas ang walong taon, itinaas ng hari ang pamilya sa hidalguia, ang maharlikang kastila, at binigyan ng coat-of-arms. kaya ang house of tuason ang kaisa-isang pamilyang pilipino na hindi dugong kastila na pinarangalan bilang bahagi ng spanish nobility.
si son tua ay biniyayaan din ng malawak na lupain ng pamahalaang espanya. ayon sa alamat, ibinigay sa kanya ang lahat na lupain na maiikutan niyang sakay sa isang kabayo sa loob ng isang araw. sa ganitong paraan napakakasya niya ang mahahalagang lupain na nasasakupan ng sta. mesa, diliman at marikina.
itinatag ni don antonio tuason iyung tinatawag na mayorazgo or noble estate noong 1794. ang unang humawak ng mayorazgo ay si don vicente dolores tuason na nakabili ng hacienda mariquina mula sa mga heswita sa halagang 33,750 pesos.
ngayon babasahin ko iyung bahagi nitong libro tungkol sa ninuno ng aking asawa. at sasabihin ko iyung binasa ko sa ingles, kasi gaya nga nang sabi ni mayor fernando, “to be a global city, let us not lose our english”:
“the society of jesus was expelled from the philippines in 1768 and all its properties were seized by the crown. since the mayorazgo should be based on landed estate, don vicente acquired the hacienda — the jesuit hacienda de san isidro de mariquina — at a public auction in 1794, paying 33,750 pesos for the more than 3,000-hectare estate which formed borders not with private lands but with seven mighty towns: pasig, antipolo, cainta, san mateo, mandaluyong, sta. mesa and caloocan.”
ang isa namang apo ni don vicente, si don jose severo tuason ay nakapag-asawa ng anak ng isa sa mga pinaka-kilalang pamilya ng marikina noon, si do”a teresa de la paz. ito ang naging lolo at lola sa tuhod ng aking kabiyak na si mike tuason arroyo.
hayaan n’yo magkwento akong muli tungkol kay teresa de la paz, ang lola ng aking asawa, na nanggaling nga dito sa libro. ang tawag ng librong ito ay “teresa de la paz and her two husbands.” teresa was born on october 15, 1841 in the town of mariquina, which was part of the old province of manila. both her parents belonged to influential families of mariquina. her father was don tomas de la paz, who became the gobernadorcillo of the town in 1855, and her mother was do”a valentina de los santos.
ayon din sa librong binanggit ko, like the tuasons of binondo, the de la pazes and the de los santoses were officially classified as mestizos de sangley or chinese mestizos. the gremio de mestizos in the old province of manila was set up in 1741 as the rival of the well- established gremio de naturales or group of natives. there was no need to form a gremio de mestizos in mariquina because the majority of the residents of mariquina were chinese mestizos. kayo mga nandoon, iyung chinese dito, matagal na kayo dito sa marikina.
now, how did marikina begin? binanggit ko iyung jesuits. ayon sa history book: “the society of jesus had invited several chinese traders and agriculturists to join hands with the native to launch the hacienda and mission village way back in 1630. word had spread that on a primeval rock on the bank of the local river, the jesuits could make out the visage of jesus. hence, they built a chapel on the hallowed site and christened the center of the village “jesus de la pe”a” or “jesus of the rock.” the place was so handsomely developed through the years that the natives preferred to call it “marikit na” meaning “it’s beautiful now,” hence, evolved its present name, mariquina. the village was raised into a parish in 1682 under the advocacy of nuestra se”ora de los desamparados.”
at gaya nang sabi ko, nung pinaalis iyung jesuits, dahil ito ay parang inalay or binilin ng hari ng espanya sa ninuno ng aking asawa, binili na nga niya itong lupa sa public auction. ngayon, ito ang source. ito nga, history book, “teresa de la paz and her two husbands.” kasi ‘yung aming lola sa tuhod na tiga-marikina nagkaroon ng dalalwang asawa dahil nabiyuda siya kay don jose severo tuason. batang-bata pa, at the age of 30 yata or something. pagkatapos ay nagpakasal siya kay don benito cosme legarda ng binondo, isang malayong pinsan ng kaniyang yumaong asawa. tatlo ang anak niya kay don benito legarda — dalawang babae. iyung mga anak na babae ay naging mrs. prieto at mrs. valdez. kaya ang pamilya tuason, legarda, prieto — at kasama na rito ang mga prieto ng inquirer — at valdez ay lahat tubong marikina. kaya ganoon karami ang mga importanteng angkan ng marikina.
sa paglingon sa ating pinanggalingan at sa mga taong bahagi ng nakaraan, ang isang bayan ay lalong nagiging dakila. sa ating pagkilala sa mga natamong kahusayan at pagkakamali ng ating mga ninuno, nawawalan ng puwang ang anumang pagbibigo. bagkus, tanging ang pagsulong at pag-unlad lamang ang mamamayani sa ating isipan.
sapagka’t ako ay kabilang sa mga angkan ng marikina — ang angkan ng tuason at de la paz dahil sa aking asawa — pwede na n’yong mapagmalaki na isa sa inyong kababayan ay ngayon namumuno ng ating bansa. at sa aking pagiging pangulo, patuloy akong magsusumikap na maging karapat-dapat sa mataas na pagtingin at paggalang ng aking mga kapwa-marikenyo.
sa ngayon ay binibigyang prayoridad ko ang paglaban sa kahirapan ng ating bansa. ito ay pagpapatuloy ng himagsikan na inilunsad noon pa ng ating mga bayani na tinuturing kong nagsimula noong himagsikan ni andres bonifacio, pero hinahangad ko itong wakasan sa dekadang kasalukuyan.”
* * * * * * *
uulitin ko hah:
“SI SON TUA AY BINIYAYAAN DIN NG MALAWAK NA LUPAIN NG PAMAHALAANG ESPANYA. AYON SA ALAMAT, IBINIGAY SA KANYA ANG LAHAT NA LUPAIN NA MAIIKUTAN NIYANG SAKAY SA ISANG KABAYO SA LOOB NG ISANG ARAW. SA GANITONG PARAAN NAPAKAKASYA NIYA ANG MAHAHALAGANG LUPAIN NA NASASAKUPAN NG STA. MESA, DILIMAN AT MARIKINA.”
Corruption and money laundering issues should no longer be thrown at Marcos since he has become an amateur compared to this Gloria Arroyo. It took Marcos 20 years to steal and only six years for Cory via her famous Kamag-anak Inc., courtesy of her favorite brother Peping. As for GMA, it only took her one year to surpass all past presidents combined from Marcos down to Erap. So, who is the champion?
Therefore, it’s only fair not to use Marcos as an example.
His name is overused. It’s Gloria Arroyo this time…until a much worse leader is born.
As to the question why the Justice Department is not prosecuting Mike Arroyo’s illegal wealth deposited in Germany, who is the current Secretary of DOJ? Isn’t it the old puppet Raul Gonzalez? And DOJ is under the Office of the President? DOJ, all other agencies, courts, Comelec, Ombudsman, Sandiganbayan up to the Supreme Court are controlled by this Gloria and Malacanang. What can we do?
alamat lang pala, eh!
mweheheheh….
Ang tunay na mayaman, keep quiet lang at hindi nagpaparada ng kanyang ari-arian….
Ang style ni glue, “noveau riche syndrome”…..
para masabing “haves” whereas ang tatay niyang si dado, hindi ba sinabing “the poor boy from Lubao”?
ang mga ofw natin nagpapasok ng dollar sa bansa samantala sila aling gloria naglalabas naman ng nakaw nila, siya pa mismo sumasabotahe ng economy natin, mga kinita nya at nakurakot ay sa ibang bansa ininvest imbis na sa ating bayan.Tarantadong economista talaga iyang si kutong lamanglupa.
As usual deny to death na naman ang mag-asawang demonyo at pati na rin ang mga alipores niyan. Everytime na may anomaly na sumisingaw, parang choir yan sa simbahan na sabay-sabay sa pag-deny. Famous lines nila, may proof ba kayo, may evidence ba kayo, dalhin niyo sa court. Sa lahat lahat ng mga kababuyan nila iyan palagi ang line of defense nila. Ang kakapal ng mga mukha at garapalan pang sabihin na dalhin sa court, na as if there’s still a court of real justice that exist today, samantalang alam na nating lahat na from the lowest to the highest court of justice hawak nila at nadidiktahan nila kung ano ang gusto nilang mangyari. At ang mga inutil naming mga judges and justices, parang mga tanga, walang mga sariling pagiisip at hindi magkandaugaga sa pagsunod mapagbigyan lang ang mga hayup na iyam.
Sa expose ni Cayetano, malamang idedemanda rin siya nina mr. & mrs devil. Ang purpose niyan ay para manakot at makapagbigay din ng warning sa iba na manahimik na lang at huwag na lang kumibo. At kung mahina-hina kang klase, titiklop ka. Kung mag-kakaganoon nga, sana maging matibay si Cayetano pati na ang kaniyang mga kasama, dahil, kilala na natin ang magasawang magnanakaw, they will not just take it sitting down. Gagawa at gagawa ang mga yan ng paraan para ma-harass si Cayetano o kahit na sino pa mang kakalaban sa kanila. They have all the power, the means and the money
Nakakapagtaka: kapag ang Bayan ang nagdemanda, hindi nagpro-prosper….kahit na pitong kahon pa ang ebidensiya!
Kapag sila ang nagpanting ang tainga, at tinamaan sa mga salita ng kolumnista[“Godfather of smuggling” as coined by Lito Banayo] galit sila, kaagad demandado, kahit natotoo ang sinabi ng mga manunulat. Isama pa si jinggoy na dinemnda rin…dahil nagsalita sa isang hearing sa senado.
Itong mga alagad ni gloria, takbo naman at mabilis pa sa alas kuwatro, pirma ng arrest order ang pulpol na HUWES[mga pasang awa sa Bar yang mga yan at walang kaso kaya nag-huwes na lang!], at served naman agad ng polisya [foolish sya!]!!
Pasuweldo ng Bayan kayo, ah…dapat sa Bayan magsilbi at hindi sa kung sinong iskwater sa puwesto!

Sometime ago, I got a shocking filler from a friend regarding the real roots of the Pandak. No it is not something about the hocus-pocus kinship with an ancient Manila chieftain or the royalty of Brunei, but something about her not being a daughter of Dadong Macapagal that is the reason likewise for the attempt to make her look like Dadong even by surgery because frankly, I don’t remember her looking anything at all like Dadong Macapagal when he was president of the Philippines.
Someone sent me a forwarded email from someone claiming that the reason why the Pandak grew up in Iligan City was because her real father was from there. I actually did not take serious notice of that email but I kept it somewhere for future reference.
Anyone familiar with this story and corroborate it? It is not tsismis definitely if it can be corroborated, something that the Pandak should be ashamed of trying to mar the reputation of FPJ during the election when she ordered her campaign managers to malign the actor who may have been born out of wedlock but his parents were at least not married and by law if both parents were not married but had the capacity to contract marriage, children of such union were considered natural-born and not illegitimate.
Any lawyer knows this as a matter of fact unlike when both parents were committing adultery as in the case of Pandak’s parents who were reportedly married to other people at the time she was conceived!
This is not libel but an attempt to find the truth and counter-evidence to those faked documents presented to malign the opposition that a lot many Filipinos and ex-Filipinos supported during the last election.
To deny the people the opportunity to hear the truth, and to see corrupt officials from being sacked, disqualified and sent to jail is undemocratic and should not be tolerated by all means. For failing to do their jobs at the Justice Department for instance, the people (public) should demand for the removal of those running it.
shocking naman that!
I just thought kamukha si glue ni evangelina macaraeg…

ikaw, Yuho ha. lalong magagalit sa yo si GMA.
here’s another speech of GMA in a meeting with the officers of Chinese-Filipino Business Club (CFBC), April 23, 2001:
“…The history we are making is that this is the first ever visit of an incumbent president of the republic, it is the first time a president of the republic makes a formal visit to Chinatown. It is the first time the president of the Philippines walks through the streets of Chinatown.
And why shouldn’t I come to visit? Why shouldn’t I come to walk among you? As I said in my speech a month ago, before the Federation of the Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce, I feel that I am part of the Filipino-Chinese community because I am married to a Filipino-Chinese, Jose
Miguel Tuason Arroyo. My husband, Mike is a descendant of a prominent 18th century resident of Binondo named, Son Tua, whose spanish name was Don Antonio Tuason. For those of you who were not in that meeting a month ago, let me recount very quickly a part of the story of Son Tua, as I said, whose hispanicized name was Tuason.
In the 18th century, the Tuasons were the leading Chinese mestizo family, not only of Binondo, where they originated, or of the province of Manila, but of the entire Philippine colony as well. The patriarch of the clan, Don Antonio Tuason, who died in 1794, made his fortune in the galleon trade and was probably the richest man in the Philippines by the second half of the 18th century. He organized and was named colonel of the battalion of the spanish royal prince, composed of 1,500 chinese mestizos. They fought gallantly against the British forces which ransacked Manila and the surrounding provinces during the years 1762 to 1764. At the same time, they poured huge sums of money to the resistance movement against the protestant invaders.
As a reward for his loyalty and generosity, the King of Spain exempted Son Tua’s family in 1775 from paying tributes for two generations. Eight years later, his majesty elevated the Son Tua or Tuason family to the Hidalguia, the Spanish nobility. Thus, the House of Tuason became the only Filipino family which was not of Spanish but rather of Chinese blood which ascended the Spanish nobility. And that is why, I am a part of the Chinese community because of my husband’s forebears.
But even in my part of a family, the Macapagal side, Chinatown also holds a special place for me. My father, the late president Diosdado Macapagal, spent precious years of work in the neighborhood of Binondo long before he became president of our republic. After liberation in 1946, he opened the Macapagal-Eusebio law office, which later evolved into the Diosdado Macapagal and Associates with offices at Escolta.
During the years that he worked within this district, surrounded by Chinese culture with Chinese-Filipinos as neighbors, he was inspired by your atmosphere of work ethic and charitable entrepreneurship. This bolstered his childhood respect for the Chinese members of the Filipino
community which he learned from his hometown of Lubao, Pampanga because in his hometown there was a much loved Chinese member of the community whom the townspeople called “Intsik Jose”. Intsik Jose became prosperous by his industry, married a Filipina, and was active in the Lubao community affairs. He not only talked the Capampangan language but wrote and recited vernacular poetry. He wanted very much to become a Filipino citizen but could not make it because of some technicality. It was the consensus in my father’s boyhood town that although a Chinese citizen, Intsik Jose, was a better Filipino than many Filipinos in town.
The respect for the Chinese in the community that my father grew up in made it natural for him to show his fondness, fairness and concern for the welfare of the Chinese community when he became president. When my father became president, he stopped all bills on Nationalization, all bills that were against the Chinese in our community. And so, he became a dear friend of the Chinese community.
And now, I have come here to your neighborhood to assure you that like my father, I hold the Filipino-Chinese community in high esteem and I intend to make sure that my administration will serve you rather than harass you.”
* * * * * * *
IN THE 18th CENTURY, THE TUASONS WERE THE LEADING CHINESE MESTIZO FAMILY,NOT ONLY OF BINONDO, WHERE THEY ORIGINATED, OR OF THE PROVINCE OF MANILA, BUT OF THE ENTIRE PHILIPPINE COLONY AS WELL. THE PATRIARCH OF THE CLAN, DON ANTONIO TUASON, WHO DIED IN 1794, MADE HIS FORTUNE IN THE GALLEON TRADE AND WAS PROBABLY THE RICHEST MAN IN THE PHILIPPINES BY THE SECOND HALF OF THE 18th CENTURY.

The filler was sent to me by someone who knew someone very close to the Dadong, and wanted me to verify that information through my police, etc. connection, especially when I say that sometimes, as a member of a Japanese press, I get dossiers on politicians in the Philippines that are likely picked up by the US to support in exchange for doing what US Papa-san wants.
I was myself shocked about that and thought to be good reason enough why she did not look like Dadong when she was younger, and yes, as Taipan88 has stated, look more like her mother, who was no beauty compared to the other first ladies of the Philippines, more like the ugly Dambuhala, and more hated than loved by people who knew her according to people who worked at the Malacanang Press at that time.
Former First Lady Eva Macapagal was the ugliest First Lady the Philippines ever had. Former President Diosdado Macapagal was good looking. It won’t be hard to see whose look this Gloria inherited. I’m not a fan of Imelda, but it’s an undisputed fact that Imelda was the prettiest of all the First Ladies. If Imelda and Gloria stand side by side, who do you think looks like a maid…a Super Maid?
Heeheehee, nice comments, npongco! Ha ha ha, “If Imelda and Gloria stand side by side, who do you think looks like a maid…a Super Maid?” Goes without saying.
Kung walang binatbat si Apo Lakay kay GMA, mas magaling ang kasunod..alam naman natin kung sino ang putak ng putak sa kabilang bakod
Nung panahon ni eva macaraeg, wala pa si Dr. Bello o si Dr. Calayan, kaya lumuwa ang eye bag…..sabi ni Lola, mayaman daw sa eye bag si eva; tsaka kung makapagpunas sa mukha ni Cong. Dadong, akala mo may aagaw…..
Masuwerte si gluerya, nakakapag-St. Luke’s sya, para sa konting hupit dyan, at angat dito….
mwahahahah!!!!
Natumbok mo, npongco!
You don’t need to use the “super” for ate glue: Masyado nang generous ang description.
atsay na lang!
Nagkataon na anak siya ng isang dating presiente ng Pilipinas kaya nagmukhang tao; aber, bihisan nga siya ng duster ni Lola Bening….baka mas maganda pang di hamak ang aso kong askal!

My history professor, Teodoro Agoncillo, must be fidgetting in his grave for all these nonsense that the Pandak and husband has been telling their ghost writers to write about their origins.
Don’t believe them. No Chinese during the Spanish regime has gained prominence as a matter of fact. They were even segregated at a place called “Parian” because they were not considered worth recognizing to prominence. Not even the natives who were mestisos did not receive any recognition, much less have a monopoly of the Galleon Trade.
These crooks are rewriting history to justify the lies that they have been propagating prior to declaring themselves no doubt as royalty!!!
Iyan kasi ang hirap na hindi interesado ang mga pilipino sa history nila gawa ng marami ang may guestionable ancestry siguro! Tarantado talaga!
Iyan ang masama sa mga maraming pilipino as a matter of fact. Pinapalitan nila ang history nila pati pangalan nila. Perjury is the rule of the game.
I think this is also one of the reasons why in our church, we are obligated to do our genealogy, even perhaps to stop the children from paying for the sins of their parents inasmuch as the sin of the fathers are made to be paid by the child to up the 4th generation similar to a Japanese belief that when one is a “magnanakaw,” most likely he must have descended from one who has done similar offense or crime.
To tell you frankly, it took me long years and travels to many countries to complete my genealogy up to 1700 on my mother’s side because the truth is in their lack of interest in their own history, Filipinos in general have not take good care of their records with a lot many records being tampered with and destroyed by even those trusted or authorized to take good care of them.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints keeps copies of the records given to the Philippines by the Spanish and US governments upon the turn-over of authorities and jurisdiction to the new Philippine Republic in 1946. It was in fact by checking records at the LDS vaults that the FPJ group was able to rebutt the lies propagated by Manapat about his father and his birth.
The records turned over to the Philippine government in 1946 were kept at the National Archives then located at the Old Bilibid at Claro M. Recto Ave. that was always inundated during rains and typhoons until Marcos built the National Library and National Archives at Rizal Park after he became president. They were actually in such crummy condition as a matter of fact when the UP History Department and Asian Studies Institute started microfilming them in the 60’s and the LDS Church in the 70’s.
I criticized in fact the way they were not handled with care by staff of the National Archives after the LDS Church copies them and provided microfilms copies to the National Archives and kept copies in the LDS granite vaults in Utah. A friend wrote about it in the Manila Bulletin in the 70’s.
Now, it’s worse. The Pandak has ordered manuscripts there to be perjured in an attempt no doubt to make her lies look like the truth.
I should know, because I did research there when I was a student at UP, and doing my research on my genealogy.
In other words, the Pandak is a pathological liar. No one should be obliged to believe her. What Filipino historians should take care of is that these crooks will not destroy ay further documents, etc. for their own personal gains.
Nawiwili ang walanghiya na nagsisinungaling kasi ang akala niya lahat ng mga pilipino kapareho niyang tanga!
My history professor, Teodoro Agoncillo, must be fidgetting in his grave for all these nonsense that the Pandak and husband have been telling their ghost writers to write about their origins.
I must add that the Chinese were not even pansin during the Spanish occupation of the Philippines. There were pirates who kept on marauding the Spanish forts, but on the whole, they were left to do what they wanted in their community, the Parian, but ostracized to live within the walled city of Intramuros. So, what is this nonsense that the Pandak and her husband are propagating about their clan’s glorious past. Nonsense!!!

Pagaling ng pagaling you said, Tama ka. Pagaling ng pagaling sa kawalanghiyaan! 😡
Stealing peoples’ money, BIG or small is a crime. And there is no statute of Limitation for Criminal Acts. So all the crimes of the past are still open cases. Then, when time comes, like when all the Victors gathered and time for the quilty to face justice (the trial at Nuremberg), then maybe we can say that justice at last. Am I dreaming? No, possiblility is there. It is always there. Just need some little spark and it will catch on. There was Romania, then came Yugoslavia. Maybe next is the Philippines?
ystakei:
research pa rin ako kung tutoo nga na naging army ni Lieutenant Governor Simon de Anda y Salazar(Acting Governor General at that time) si Antonio Tuason.
At kung nagkasama rin sa tour of duty itong si Antonio at si Colonel Santos delos Angeles.
Lumalabas na sapaw si Diego Silang.
Sa pagkakaintindi ko sa kasaysayan, instrumental itong si Diego Silang na taga Ilokos, sa pagkakapanalo ng mga pwersa ng Espanyol laban sa mga pwersa ng British noong 1762-1764.
Nelbar:
Nangangarap ng gising si Pandak. Iyong si Andal, papailalim sa isang ponga? No way. Ostracize nga ang mga intsik noong panahon ng kastila, sa totoo lang. They were not allowed to move out of Parian without a cedula that Palparan is trying to copy now. They were not even allowed to be buried at the Paco Cemetery as a matter of fact, but in a separate cemetery for the Chinese.
Ever heard of the ghetto? That was how it was during the Spanish period. I have researched for example the members of the Cabeza de Barangay, which is the local government subsidiary adopted for the natives and mestisos cooperating in the running of the country with the Spanish governor. In my mother’s hometown, for example, none of the members there was a Chinese. All were either descendants of chieftains or mestisos (not Chinese mestisos like the Tsinoy of today)!!!
Likewise, Binondo at the time mentioned by the Pandak was dominated by well-to-do mestisos, not by Chinese even when Parian was nearby. The town along the Echague and San Miguel on the other hand was for the Japanese that extended up to Plaza Dilao in Paco. Dilao probably was in reference to the yellow skin of the Japanese settlers there.
I should know, because my great grandfather met his bride, a cousin of the Luna brothers’ mother, in Binondo where they own a house. My maternal great grandfather was a British mestiso, a product of the British occupation of the Philippines in 1762-64.
Sinungaling talaga itong si Pandak. Just because she has ordered her appointees to tamper with records at the National Archives, she cannot be sure that she can revise Philippine history to fit her fantasy, because out there in the vaults of countries that occupied the Philippines are records that Philippine scholars and historians in fact can dig into to prove her wrong!!!
You may try reading the researches done by Blair and Robertson. You won’t find this fantastic story of the Pandak there. Don’t rely on what the Internet Brigade has been publishing on the Internet although some people may one day expose their lies complete with more reliable records still intact and not tampered with by the appointees of the Pandak stocked somewhere like the chronicles of Japanese traders before and after Japan was closed to westerners, and rare articles published in British journals.
I guess this is one reason why the Pandak is not encouraging young Filipinos to pursue higher education when their parents cannot afford to send them to school. Hanggang Super Atsay and Atsoy and Super Ta-pu na lang sila! Siyempre naman, kung wala silang alam, papaano nila mapapabulaanan ang mga kabalbalang sinasabi niya?! Get mo?
Baligtad Nelbar. Kumampi si Diego Silang sa mga British. Umalis ang mga British sa Pilipinas for some other reason. Let me check my notes because I did research on this when I was at Oxford U.
Sinabi mo pa, Vic. Magdilang anghel ka sana!
Taipan, that’s why Luli also inherited her bad looks from her mother. Like mother, like daughter…in looks and character. With today’s modern cosmetic technology, Gloria might have done more than the so called “retoke” in her looks at St. Luke’s. She could have done something to that part below her waist to make her look virgin again. But no dice…Mike still doesn’t sleep with her and keeps seeing Vicky Toh.
FG: What secret $ accounts in Germany?
By Paolo Romero And Jess Diaz
First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo warned yesterday Taguig-Pateros Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano that he would have to pay “hundreds of millions of dollars” to the people if he could not prove his allegation that the First Family has secret bank accounts in Germany.
Mr. Arroyo, in a statement, strongly denied Cayetano’s allegation, which he described as “a blatant lie, and a malicious and fabricated accusation.”
* IT’S NOT IN GERMANY, IT’S IN SPAIN.
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo had a real estate buying spree upon grabbing power in January 2001. Doing internet search to some alleged properties of Mr. and Mrs. Jose Pidal Arroyo in San Francisco Bay Area, California, I found out that a property at 727 Gellert Blvd, Daly City, CA 94015 acquired on 02/09/2001: $270,000 and 2425 Tipperary Ave, South San Francisco, CA 94080 on 10/22/2004: $700,000. They got lot of money to spend. The President has an annual salary of three hundred thousand pesos. (1US dollar=50 pesos)
But then Diego, her spouse Mike would claim his family is originally rich. He would brag about the rich and prominent Tuazons. Not long ago, his talkative and well paid lawyer Atty. Santos proudly declared in one radio interview that Mike was already rich ever since. Who can argue with these people? Worse comes to worst, the Arroyos would just shoot back and challenge: So what if we steal the money? Come and get it. See you in court!
Diego, I don’t know where you got your figures but in last year’s impeachment, (which copy I still keep) the following were listed:
The fifth property, a 24-room building in 151 Austin St., San Francisco, CA was however dropped in this year’s impeachment.
—————-
Should you want to personally see the properties, you may want to get directions from Daly City Mayor himself, Mike Guingona.
What’s interesting here is that prior to the sale, the titles were first transferred to LTA Realty, which by then was already 100% owned by Ignacito, by virtue of a Trust Agreement with bro Mike, but papers of the buy/sell transactions verified with California’s Secretary of State were in the names of spouses Miguel and Gloria.
Secondly, all transfers happened simultaneously, on June 18, 1998. Take note of the date, Gloria has just won in the elections and will start to work as VP 13 days after.
What’s the hurry to sell before her new VP term? Note again that all properties were sold within a year after the supposed transfer. If Gloria really was so popular that she was runaway winner versus Erap’s VP then (was it Angara?), she would have enough donated campaign money saved to see them through well after the elections! Was the proceeds going to be the capital to finance Erap’s future ouster? Or were these merely shell transactions to conceal money laundering activities?
Someone has answers?

Whatever gloria do with her face, she can’t seem to project an aura of innocence and beauty. Pardon my words, but hers simply isn’t the face that could launch a thousand ship….so to speak.
My Lola used to say: “Kung hindi ka maganda, magpakabait ka naman, para naman may masabing maganda ang tao sa iyo at mapuri ka. Pangit na nga, salbahe pa, ano na lang ang maganda sa katauhan mo?”
~~~~~~~
ILUSYON lahat ang sinabing “Historia de Familia” ng mga sagradong familia ni miguel arrovo! Masyadong ILUSYUNADA si gloria. Baka nagpro^PROZAC, hindi kaya? O baka naman lashing, as usual?
BTW, glue failed to remind the people of Marikina, AND the Philippines HOW miguel’s grandfatrher was disgraced in their province…….
I wanna hear that again and again, and see the reaction of the “noble and richest” family in history!
Kaya naman pala WALA NG PERA ANG KABAN NG BAYAN Eh, Nasa bank account ng mga Arroyo(Dorobo) sa Hypo-und-Vereins Bank AG sa Germany!!! Imagine yung isang account eh nasa 500,000,000 Dollars!!! Multiply mo sa 51/$ na lang… lumalabas 25.5 BILYON PESOS O 25,500,000,000!!! Di pa kasama yung peso accounts. At hindi pa kasama yung iba pang nakatagong accounts sa ibang bangko. Malamang maraming bangkong pinagtataguan ng pera yang PAMILYA MAGNANAKAW NA IYAN!!!!!! ARROYO, IBALIK MO S AMING MGA PILIPINO YANG PERA NAMIN !!!!!Grrrrrrr!!!ö”+*@>ö
HIRAP NA HIRAP TAYONG MGA PILIPINO PARA MABUHAY. “VAT-VAT” TAYO NG BUWIS. YUN PALA NAGPAPASASA ANG MGA ARROYO SA NINANAKAW NA PERA NG BAYAN!!!
Taipan, speaking of Gloria’s ugly face, I took special notice of her wearing the veil when she met the Pope as if she’s some kind of a devoted nun. Cory would have looked better minus her flat nose. But this Gloria, she has nothing to show from head to toe. Excuse me…I don’t think I would be aroused even if she stands naked in front of me. Yaks!
Iyan mga Dorobo na iyan na ngayon ay balitang nagtambak ng pera sa Germany ay mas masahol pa kay Erap na pinagbintangan nilang mandarambong. Para sa akin ang kasalanan ni Erap ay bribery na inamin naman niyang tumanggap siya ng pera na sinabi niyang inilagay niya sa mga foundation niya na alam kong ginagamit naman sa maganda gaya ng isang foundation niya na nagsusuporta sa isang institution na involve sa balik-aral ng mga dating drop outs para naman magkaroon sila ng high school diploma. This I know to be be true kasi ang nagpapalakad ay kakilala kong pare.
Nevertheless, may batas laban sa bribery kaya dapat lang dumaan si Erap sa paghuhukom at nang maging leksyon sa iba pang gumagawa niyon. Pero itong si Pandak at asawa, et al ay hindi lang bribery ang ginagawa kundi plunder na may extortion pa. In fact, duda ko sa mga libel suits ni Dambuhala ay umaasam siyang makakakikil siya in connivance with those corrupt men and women na ina-appoint nila sa position sa Department of Justice and courts in the Philippines.
Sa totoo lang, nakakaawa ang mga pilipino. Sa meeting namin si the Amnesty International to commemorate the death of Ninoy as one of the victims of political killings in the Philippines, nagpalabas kami ng mga video tungkol sa violent dispersal ng mga protesters sa Pilipinas katulad noong protest ng mga religious sa Ermita, Manila. Bugbog sarado at duguan ang pareng naka-abito pa, shock ang mga hapon na hindi naman mga kristyano! Nakakahiya! Tapos itong si Pandak nag-uugas ng kamay na wala daw siyang kinalaman sa mga violent dispersal na ginagawa ng mga berdugong bobong mga pulis-pulisan sa Pilipinas.
Tangna talaga!!! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! NAKAKAAWA NA ANG PILIPINAS AT MGA TANGANG PILIPINO!
Ang mga kongresista na sina:
Rodito Albano lll (Isabela), Eduardo Veloso (Leyte), Douglas Cagas (Davao del Sur), at Monico Puentevella (Bacolod City)
NASAAN KAYA ANG KANILANG LOYALTY? Sa kani-kanilang distritong nasasakupan o sa mag-asawang nasa Malakanyang?
Nelbar, the word “loyalty” is not being talked about today and has been scratched from these politicians’ vocabulary. Their loyalty is to themselves and to their pockets.
parang outsider ako dito, dahil sa dami ng mga kritiks sa first family. pero ang hindi ko maintindihan sa sarili ko rin ay kung bakit hindi ako maawa sa kanila, parang kahit anong sabihin laban sa kanila ay hindi pa rin ako magkaroon ng sympathy sa kanila. ano kaya, talaga kayang may mga taong madaling ma hate? normally kung sinasabi ng ibang tao na pangit ang isang tao, ang reaksion ko ay siguro may inner beauty naman sila, at kung sinasabi ng iba na magnanakaw ang iba, siguro kailangan nila o kaya ay ibinibigay naman nila sa ibang nangangailangan. pero dito wala akong reaksion pugutan man siguro sila ng ulo.
Of course norpil, critics are growing each day not only in this blog but everywhere. How can you take pity with the Arroyos? Look what they did and continue to do? They are 100 times worse than Marcos.
ok npongco. it looks like you are more informed than i am, considering that i am living outside the pinas. here in the far north, i can only pity the filipinos excluding the gma family and supporters. hope there are more cayetanos around.
What do you mean you’re in the far north? Where are you norpil?
if it is of interest i am living in norway, so far north that in some mountains no trees are allowed to survive.
Kaya pala sabi mo sa far north ka kasi sa Northway ka pala. Kumusta po diyan? Marami po bang Pinoy? Puwede bang malaman ang trabaho mo diyan. Kumusta ang Norway kung ikumpara sa Tsina at Hapon? Maliban sa sasabihin mong hindi mga singkit ang taga-Norway, ano po ba ang meroon doon na wala sa Asia?
artsee: kala ko si npongco lang ang may tanong. sorry kung di ko nakita kaagad itong entry mo. kumpara sa tsina at hapon in numbers ay kaunti lang ang pinoy dito, siguro mga 2000 lang pero kakaunti naman kasi ang mga norwego, wala pang 6 million. inhinyero (chief engineer-pasensya ka na sa tagalog ko) ako dito. di ko alam kung paano ko ikumpara ang tsina at hapon sa norway, sa geography ang pinas ay kasinglaki halos ng norway abour 325000 sq kms. ang haba lang coast line nila dito more than 3000 kms. ang mga tao naman dito ay very peacefull dahil din siguro sa kanilang violent history, viking history. alam ko ang hapon at norway ay matagal ng mag ka frienly relations dahil marami ding nakukuhang impulses sa bawat isa. mayroon din namang mga singkit dito pero hindi naman sila gaanong nagbibigay pansin sa physical attributes ng tao dahil mas tinitingnan nila siguro kung anong klase ka inside. mahirap din ang mga tao dito dati pero ng maka discover sila ng oil ay nag iba na ang lahat. ito siguro ang mayroon dito na wala diyan pero di naman ako napunta dito dahil doon.
