A former military intelligence agent, allegedly the source of the “Hello Garci” wiretapped conversations, has resurfaced two years after the scandal rocked the country and almost toppled the Arroyo administration.
Former T/Sgt. Vidal Doble of the Intelligence Services of the AFP (Isafp) appeared in a videotape played by Sen. Panfilo Lacson during a privilege speech at the Senate yesterday.Doble first came into the scene in 2005 when Samuel Ong, former NBI deputy director for intelligence, claimed he had the “master of all tapes” of the recorded conversations between President Arroyo and former elections commissioner Virgilio Garcillano who is alleged to have spearheaded cheating in May 2004 to ensure Arroyo’s victory.
Ong has claimed it was Doble who taped the conversation on orders of “top officials.”
Doble said he came out only now because he earlier feared for the safety of his family, who he said were kept in the custody of Isafp from June 2005 to April 2006.
Doble said he resigned from Isafp last February.
“Wala na dapat akong ikatakot. Civilian na ako. Para matapos itong issue na itong bumabagabag sa kalooban ko,” he said.
He said there was cheating in the May elections as in 2004.
“Nakita ko pa rin itong nakaraang May 14, 2007 election na ganoon pa rin ang dayaan. Walang pinagbago mula nang lumabas ang May (2004) presidential election nang nagkaroon ng dayaan,” he said.
Doble said he and his colleagues were tasked to listen in on conversations not only of opposition figures but also of some administration figures.
He said among the targets of “Project Lighthouse,” which was created to monitor mainly anti-administration personalities, were Fernando Poe Jr., former agrarian reform secretary Horacio Morales Jr., Poe supporter Rez Cortez, the Magdalo Group including now Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, now Sen. Gregorio Honasan and even losing administration senatorial bet Michael Defensor.
Doble admitted he was surprised to hear President Arroyo call Garcillano on his cell phone.
“Ang tinatanong niya ay yung dagdag na one million,” he said.
Doble said Project Lighthouse had 14 members divided into four teams.
Its heads were Col. Paul Sumayo, Captains Frederick Rebong and Capt. Lindsay Rex Sagge, and M/Sgt. Alex Villedo.
He said Sumayo is no longer with Isafp while Rebong is abroad on schooling. Sagge remains with the Isafp’s Military Intelligence Group (MIG-21).
Doble said he belonged to the second team headed by Villedo. He named one of his colleagues as Air Force T/Sgt Ariel Petate.
Doble said they were issued Nokia 3600 cell phone units by Rebong. Their units have the capability to monitor and record calls, he said.
In his case, he said he gave the master tapes he got to Lito Santiago, an aide of Ong.
On the day Ong called a press conference in Makati City in June 2005, Doble said Bishop Socrates Villegas fetched him and they went to the San Carlos Seminary in Makati City.
“Sinundo ako ni Bishop Socrates Villegas. Dinala niya ako sa Camp Aguinaldo sa quarters ng dating chief of staff, si General (Efren) Abu … Doon ko nakita ang dalawang anak ko at yung misis ko na nandoon sila, naka-detain sa basement ng quarters ni General Abu,” he said.
Doble had previously confessed to taking P2 million to admit that he conducted wiretap operations on President Arroyo and Garcillano.
Lacson challenged Comelec Commissioner Rene Sarmiento who, more than a month ago, “with all noise and bravado,” called for the re-opening of the “Hello, Garci!” controversy.
“Mr. Commissioner, we now have ‘Exhibit A’ in the person of Vidal Doble Jr. I challenge you to make good on your promise. Hopefully, with your declared resolve, you could be instrumental in redeeming the Comelec from its present image as a cheating machinery into a true guardian of democracy,” he said.
But even then, the Senate decided to convene as a committee of the whole to investigate the wiretapping exposé.
I pray that Doble will not turn his back around this time, kahit kidnapin pa s’ya ng helecopter! With his family kidnapped by Gloria then, I understand why he lied the first time.
I pray also that Senator Ping will pursue this one to the end and not leave it hanging somewhere like the Pidal issue. If he could put a reasonable closure on this “Hello Garci”, I’m all for his presidential bid next time. This issue will make him!
Is this the clinching turn of events that will unstuck Glueria from her EK? I sincerely hope so!
I’m soooo disappointed with Balanga, Bataan’s Bishop Socrates Villegas. Ikinahihiya ko na s’ya ng tuluyan for conniving (again) with the devils, sa “Hello Garci” pa! Sorry guys, I’m from Bataan and knows him…ayaw ko na talaga sa kanya! Never again! Ilang beses na ba niyang isinuko ang Bataan kay Gloria?!
Bakit nga ba nakipag-connive si Bishop Socrates Villegas sa mga ‘kidnappers’. Kailangan niyang magpaliwanag kundi ay masasangkot siya sa malaking kasalanan ng pagpigil sa pagsisiwalat ng katotohanan. Talagang napakalaking issue itong Hello Garci. Lahat ng umaabuso sa pwesto ay mabubunyag. Lahat ng nakilaro sa dyablo pupulutin sa impyerno!
Chi: With his family kidnapped by Gloria then, I understand why he lied the first time.
*****
Chi, ganyan ang ginawa nila noong Magdalo mutiny. Kinuha iyong mga asawa ng mga mahihina ang loob at pinagsalita sa TV na nagmamakaawa. Suyang-suya nga ako doon sa sipsip na opisyal na galing sa Bulacan dahil talaga naman ang sipsip. Ang tindi!
Hopefully, matapang na si Doble ngayon. Huwag na siyang matitinag. Pero ang problema ngayon sinong matapang na hukom ang gustong humawak ng kaso sa korte para patunayan ang totoo. Dapat diyan may nag-iimbestiga nang mga pulis utos ng Solicitor General. Kaso sa Pilipinas palpak, pati iyong Prosecutor, political appointee. Maling-mali talaga ang procedure! Kasi sa totoo lang, the law provides that one who cheats in an election can be automatically disqualified. Bakit kailangan pa ang impeachment? Ang tanga naman!
Chi,
Kamag-anak ba iyan noong dating mayor ng Manila. Sabi nila nang pumunta daw iyon Mayor Villegas sa Tate, nagladlad ang tinamanang mayor. Bakla pala! Hindi malaman kung ano ang stand niya. Ganyan naman iyong mga prayleng pirming nakasahod ang kamay. Si Sin nga nakasahod din noon ang kamay. Sabi ni Imelda ang laki daw ng abuloy niya kay Sin.
Luz,
Malaki siguro ang pakinabang, panahon pa kasi ni Sin ay sangkot na sa politics itong bishop Villegas.
Yuko,
I don’t know if Socrates is related to ex Manila mayor Villegas. The bishop is a native of Pateros, not Bataan.
Yuko,
Luma na ang kidnap gimik ni Gloria. Bistado na ang bruha kaya tingin ko ay mahihirapan s’ya!
With this testimony I hope and pray, that the truth will set us all free–mawawala na si GMA sa scenario at magkaroon ng tunay na kapayapaan. Anong gawin sa kanya? Honey, will pour you with it and will place you in the ants kingdom..and the queen and her soldiers will pay homage to you. Or, we will hang you up high and all can throw darts at you.. or we have a lot of stones to use..hindi pa noong araw (in Jesus time) a sinner is stoned to death..Oh boy! there are many ways..and many will love doing anything to achieve the purpose..puede ka rin kusang umalis..
Chi,
Protege kasi iyan ni ‘Cardinal Sin’. Kaya maraming natutunan sa paggamit ng politics. Kung saan sila makikinabang duon kumakampi. Paniwala ko nga pinolitika rin ang pag-appoint sa kanya bilang kapalit ni Sin bilang Manila Archbishop dahil napakabata pa niya at marami ang mas qualified tulad ni Father Sonny Ramirez o si Bacani. Sa lahat ng institusyon maging sa simbahan or relihiyon, ang maruming pamumulitika ang sumisira.
naku, sana hindi mag doble-kara na naman si doble, at biglang kumambiyo.
Dapat bigyan natin ng morale booster si Agent Doble para di panghinaan ng loob at maninidigan sa katotohanan. Pati na rin si Samuel Ong at yung ‘syota’ ni Doble na nag-witness na nuon. Ilabas na lahat ng ebidensiya. Exhibit ‘A’, Exhibit ‘B’, C, D, E etc. Wala nang lusot ang mga mandaraya! Lagot si DAYAna Zubiri baka madamay at sumabit!
Where is Samuel Ong these days? I hope he’ll testify, too. Right, ilabas na lahat ang baho sa “Hello Garci” at nang matapos na ang kabanata na ito ng pekeng pangulo!
Pinoys deserve to be treated fairly by no less than the leader of the land, and Mindanao deserve to be peaceful and happy! These can only be realized if Gloria, the poser president, is stripped down of everything!
Sige, Doble, ilabas mo ang dapat ilabas, pangalanan lahat ng dapat nating bitayin na nagkanulo sa majority ng pinoy at ng Konstitusyon at bansa!
Yup, Luz. Dayana Zubiri won’t be spared and he knows it.
Walang kawala sa “Hello Garci” si Wahab Akbar, ang partner ni Gloria at Garci sa Mindanao!
Mukhang tapos na ang maliligayang araw ni Gloria, naniningil na ang karma.
Chi,
Mindanao is a fertile country that should not be wasted. I remember the islands down south were known for deepsea fishing and pearls they gathered were one of the most expensive and famous in the world before the Japanese started culturing them.
Most of the natural products exported by the Philippines come from there even when they are monopolized by the Americans that you have a feeling that the Americans are fanning the flames of hate there not just for the oil but to have full control of the plantations there as the Dole plantation in Dadiangas, famous for the Chiquita bananas that have taken over the Taiwan bananas on Japanese dining tables. Unfortunately, the fake president is no longer interested in exporting these bananas but in human beings, particularly for domestic helping and filling up bars and clubs in Japan, South Korea, Thailand and even China, etc., and when that has been banned (the pseudo-entertainers that is) she has tried to introduce her super maid tech out and ready she says for caregiving or in simple lingo “magpunas ng mga puwit ng matatanda at maysakit”!
Nothing is really wrong with being a caregiver but she should not be encouraging even doctors to give up their professional for lower ranked jobs!!!
I actually met a doctor from Manila working now at a carehome in the bay area doing caregiving or a job no different from those attendants who used to attend simple training and not necessarily had to go to college to be so. Nagbubuhat lang naman ng mga bangkay at maysakit! Two or three years more daw, he will apply for a green card. Right now, he is a TNT.
Nakakangitngit sa totoo lang.
Chi: magdilang angel ka sana..GMA’s downfall is just around the corner. I will not be surprised if there are popes and priests who are in the company of Lucifer..
Rose,
Naramdaman mo ba na sabay-sabay na idinadagok kay Gloria ang kanyang nakalipas na pandaraya, pagnanakaw at pagsisinungaling? Kahit saang pinto o bintana siya tumakas ay sarado. I expect more to come. Ganyan ang karma kapag naningil, sabay-sabay!
I’m all eyes and ears dito sa “Hello Garci” revisit, For one, I would like to hear what Socrates Villegas has to say. I expect him to tell the truth dahil pari s’ya. Kung hindi ay padadalhan ko s’ya ng sulat na gugulantang sa kanya.
Yuko,
I didn’t know that Dadiangas produced Chiquita Bananas. I still buy chiquita but from Africa.
I believe that the richest region in the Philippines is Mindanao in terms of mines and natural resources, almost totally neglected nga lang ng national government and taken advantage by the local politicians. Mas lalo itong ibinaon sa dusa ni Gloria dahil sa “Hello Garci”.
The Hello Garci political scam’s shameful-detailed secrets shall be exposed soon by the Philippine Senate. Lame duck and illegitimate President Gloria Arroyo’s political reign is over. The opposition will deliver the fatal blow in the senate investigations. First thing first, The Trillanes’ Tipo-Tipo expose’, Jonas Burgos’ abduction and the Arroyo-sponsored political killings and China ZTE $329.5-million contract broadband misdeal.
Former AFP chief of staff General Efren Abu has lot of explaining to do why the family of Air Force T/Sgt. Vidal Doble was kidnapped in Kidapawan by ISAFP men and illegally detained in his Camp Aguinaldo’s official residence basement. Even Balanga Bishop Socrates Villegas maybe part of cover-up operations. He was picked-up by a military chopper in Balanga, Bataan to ‘negotiate’ the Makati City San Carlos seminary stand-off. By coincidence, former Comelec commissionaire Virgilio Garcillano had been hiding somewhere in Bataan before he boarded a private jet in Subic to Singapore. The Bureau of Immigration and Air Transportation Office may have conspired in his great escape.
It had been established by the Biazon’s defense committee that ISAFP is responsible for wiretapping Gloria Arroyo, Virgilio Garcillano and some opposition personalities. One centavo question: Who ordered the illegal wiretapping?
Huh? Garci was in Bataan hiding? Baka itinago rin s’ya duon ni Villegas upon Gloria’s order/request.
I’m not surprised if Villegas negotiated the stand-off, he was in the pocket of Gloria since day one of the stolen presidency.
Huwag s’yang magkakamali ng sagot at ibabandera ko na walang sisipot sa kanyang mga misa, doon na lang sa iba sila makinig. Sino ang maniniwala ngayon sa kanyang mga sermon. heh!
Ano kaya ang tunay na papel ni Obispo Socrates Villegas sa Hello Garci cover-ups?
Rose,
Iyan ang gusto ko dito sa ating mga Katoliko sa Ellenville. We’re open Catholics, we don’t give excuses or defend the mistakes of the church’s caretakers, but we respect and have firm faith in the church itself.
Chi: Is this Bishop Villegas the one in the Edsa shrine?
What good will any Garci reincarnation bring us? Keep in mind that the lower chamber is programmed to hail a resounding NO to anything adverse to the windfalls they are reaping…
Perhaps for the 2010 elections? If there will be one!
For people in the community, before leaving there is a debriefing short of saying, forget all what you saw, what you heard and what you did. If ever Doble did come out, its another plot to further disgrace Lacson while earning yet cash and the limelight.
Ka Diego,
Gloria could just personally picked him up because of his association with the late Sin. Could be that Gloria’s association with him is also personal. Pakikibalitaan ko kung meron ng kumakalat sa Balanga.
If the hearings could establish Villegas’ connivance with Gloria, patay s’ya sa mga Bataeno, Da King country ‘yun!
Yes, Rose. He is the one and the same Bishop Villegas!
Siya ang caretaker ng EDSA na ayaw makakita doon ng mga militanteng nagra-rally. Ginawa niya ng EDSA Shrine na personal na pag-aari ng bruhang si Gloria.
Valdemar,
Doble’s coming out again in the open and Lacson’s revisiting “Hello Garci” are risky for them both. Anything can happen to Doble while Lacson could not afford to disappoint the masses this time.
I would like to give them both the benefit of the doubt. I would like to believe that they can provide a closure to this “Hello Garci” issue.
The hearings/investigation will be done in the Senate this time, without the tongressmen’s participation. Walang aasahan sa bahay ni de Venecia, we’re already taken for a ride, ginawa lang nilang artista si Garci noon.
If you are reading the threads, a transcript of Hello Garci, provided by Tongue, with Wahab Akbar’s participation in the 2004 election cheating was caught in the tape. The connection between them was also discussed by Ellen. It was confirmed by Gokusen. So, kabit-kabit ang isyu na ito. I hope that Doble and Lacson are for real.
The last time Villegas was in the news, he was against Gloria and her dogs already. He sounded penitent for his past association with the devil’s daughter and even took the same position as Bishop Yniguez, a known Gloria critic.
Chi;
Doble don’t impress me at all, no matter if he’s telling the truth or crying wolf. His recognition from his past behavior can be given weight in evaluating current purpose or conduct is substantial if not pervasive, and goes beyond a history of lying. Who can believe him now? I am sorry, I won’t beat my penny if this time his story will bear fruit. His credibility was tarnished and he is not trustworthy.
If I question him. Why now? After he recanted his story. Does he in need of money? No one will pay him a dime.You think he can get someone to collaborate with his story,I am doubt.
Doble is presently on radio being interviewed by Arnold Clavio. He said he panicked when he saw wife #1 (Arlyn) at the gates of San Carlos Seminary in the company of ISAFP Agents then later saw her with their kids, too in the basement of Abu’s quarters with Msgr. Villegas.
He also says, “Hindi multo yung Hello Garci, totoo yun. Alam ko maraming magsasabing ‘bakit ngayon lang’, ‘baka nabayaran’, pero hindi na big deal sa akin yon, ang mahalaga, masabi ko na ngayon ang totoo.” When asked about his reaction when he heard Gloria say “I am sorry”, he said “Halata namang pilit, e.”
From the looks of it, I’d say Doble is genuine. Just pray he won’t do another doublespeak.
Remember, bayad na siya noon pa ng P2M downpayment.
Hindi pa napapakinabangan ang “serbisyo” niya. Baka meron pang balance upon delivery. Nagresign na e. Saan siya kukuha ng severance pay?
Former Air Force T/Sgt. Vidal Doble named names such as his immediate superiors then namely Master Sgt. Alex Villedo and T/Sgt. Ariel Petate from the Philippine Air Force (PAF). Sen. Lacson should secure the safety of these former ISAFP agents. Dead men don’t tell tales in the Mafia world.
To believe or not to believe Doble this time is indeed the question..but for me.. I would like to hear what he has to say. Should I listen to him?..I will give it a shot..And I am sure it will result to simply the conclusion that we all know.. na nang daya talaga si Gloria at peke..pang gulo lamang. A waste of time? a waste of money? ilang taon na ba tayo na naghirap at mas lalong hirap na hirap..this could help in our cry of “alis na diyan” “patalsikin na.” Kung mag doble cara siya..all I will say is..there is nothing new but we tried..
Chi, don’t be surprised with Bishop Soc Villegas. He was the late Cardinal Sin’s protege and right hand man; so the two are no different. Villegas must be enjoying his lucrative career in Bataan. Unlike Archbishop Cruz, we never heard from Villegas. Quiet and happy guy uh?
Pero mas titibay kung si “Ong” ay lalabas, may narinig ako taga Pangasinan yung parents ni Ong! Sana lumabas na siya…if that will happen sunud-sunod ng lalabas ang magsasabi ng totoo…kung anuman ang rason niya bakit ngayon lang siya lumabas, nasa kanya yun pero manindigan siya at sana maging determinado na siya sa pagkakataon na ito. siguro naman naubos na lahat ang takot niya!
Sana ay tuloy tuloy na itong pagbubunyag na muli ni ping sa pamamagitan ni doble. At umaasa ang sambayanang pilipino na mabibigyan na ng katarungan ang mga pagbusabos at pagalipusta ng mga makasalanan sa ating konstitusyon. Kay doble sana doble doble ang katotohanang nakapaloob sa iyong muling paglitaw, parang palitaw yan e, lulubog lilitaw… Perlas na bilog… huwag kang tutulog tulog… Hello garci,,, hello,,, hello,, ay nakatulog si tatang….bwahahaaaahhaahhhhhha
Atty. Samuel Ong has the reason to keep on hiding and running. The NBI charged Ong with inciting to sedition. Injustice Secretary Gonzales is persecuting Filipinos who are telling the truth. He had turned over the tapes (mother of all tapes) in his possession to Bishop Teodoro Bacani. What happened next? Did the Roman Catholic Church conduct a formal evaluation and inquiry?
Let’s not be too sure about this new hulabaloo again. What if Sgt. Doble retracts his statement again? He may become Sgt. Triple. The problem with some witnesses is that they sometimes use their testimony to make money. They sell themselves to the highest bidder. Whoever can pay the highest. I hope Sgt. Doble would be true to his word this time.
If Ong and Doble come out and speak the truth, what benefit the Filipino people can get from their revelation? So far I know there is no impeachment complaint for Pandakikay. None of Tongressman is filing a charge. What is the use if they speak in the Senate inquiry this time? If they will testify, the senate can not impeach the fake president, instead they are doing her a favor when she’s out in office, whatever charges they file against her in court, her lawyers has an ample time to prepare for defense and find a way to counter the testimonies whatever Ong and Doble has in mind. The Senate investigation goes nowhere because it is not a proper venue to sanction the midget. Only the court can impose punishment for her if they found her guilty.
Bakit ngayon lang lumabas si Doble ulit? The other people involved in the whole tapping operations may no longer be accessible. Also, the cheating operators may no longer be that gungho in testifying. Sana naman magsilabasan na ang mga totoong testigo. Baka naman ang mga “hit” men ni tiyanak ay naglipana na rin. Delikado ang mga testigo. Pag nakakita kayo ng motorsiklo, magtago na kayo at baka kayo pa ang maputukan! From Luzon to Mindanao, nakapuwesto na ang mga “hit” men para patahimikin ang mga taong maraming alam sa nangyayaring katiwalian. The modus operandi is mayroong “hit” men pagkatapos ng “operations” pinapapatay o dinudukot ang mga ito para wala ng tetestigo! Ingat ka lang Doble. You are fighting a MAFIA in the Philippines headed by people calling themselves “leaders”! Times are very rough. A mere 500 pesos can pay for a life. Ganyan na ang peace and order sa Pilipinas. Nakakatakot na talaga!
An investigation is needed to know the truth. The people can decide what to do next.
If Gloria is found to have not done anything wrong, then good for her. But if found out to have done what she’s accused of, she should be made to pay. What payment? Use your imagination!
This is related to my post in the other thread re: sending an exaggerated number of troops against ASG in Mindanao. MIDGET and her DOGS may have already seen this Lacson thing coming that’s why they sent most of the soldiers and the young officers down to Mindanao for them not to be able to support any uprising. Remember that most of these young officers are still principled and dignified and will surely support any step to remove MIDGET from her seat.
But as early as now, MIDGET’s chihuahua (ERMITA) is shouting everywhere that they will invoke EO 464 against this new ‘threat’ to them.
Tsk, tsk, tsk….
Cocoy,
may point ka…! Sana makita ng senado yung point mo at i-point out na nila ng todo sa korte!
goji,
let’s keep our finger cross? o crossed out their fingers..lets give him the benefit of the doubt..and let the doubts begin for the makanyang people kung “doble” will be in 360 degrees later on! pero ngayon mukang parallel pa siya eh..who knows…
Chi,
Many years ago, I went to Dadiangas with a group of Japanese farmers and importers interested in the bananas, and I saw the processing done there to qualify for export/import to Japan because of the strict Japanese restrictions on med-fly, etc.
Chiquita bananas here are labeled imported from the Philippines. They even have a new variety called “sweet banana” also from the Philippines, something like the “sweeties” from Israel that is a variety of grapefruit but sweeter than grapefruits.
You bet, Chi, I got copies of the free Philippine newsletters from the Oriental food shops in the Bay Area, and all contain news item critical now of the administration of the malditang unano, but I am not singing glad tidings yet until our favorite Senator Trillanes gets out of prison. Golly, walang kasalanan—not established yet—nakakulong for 4 years! Dito iyan bibilangin na kung magkano ang backpay niya for time wasted because the people responsible for justice to move on are allowing the criminal squatting at the palace to have control over them.
As one who works for the court and justice here, talagang kumukulo ang dugo ko and I cannot help losing my temper. Wala kasi akong tiyaga sa mga kalokohan na alam ko namang kalokohan. I cannot find any excuse for the injustice I am aware exists over in the old country and a lot many people suffering and/or getting bobo because of the incompetence of people like the unconfirmed injustice secretary.
Maniniwala ako kay Lacson, BTW, if he can REALLY manage to keep his witness talking and protecting the witnesss by all means possible. Otherwise, baka mabitin na naman ang mga pilipino na umaasang may magagawa siya. Wala kasi akong tiyagang maghintay. Gusto ko katulad ni Sonny Trillanes, patay kung patay ang dating!!! Basta si Trillanes, OK na OK!
BTW, baka bumalik ako sa Tate kung matapos ko ang trabaho ko. My aunt died today finally. I had a feeling she would when I left. Kahapon pa siya nagparamdam, but I could not cancel my flight. My cousin has promised to wait for the funeral till Tuesday. I might fly back to the USA on Sunday.
Sorry, this should read, “f he can REALLY manage to keep his witness talking, and to protect the witness by all means possible.”
Tongue,
Sabi ko nga, maniniwala ako kay Lacson if he can keep his witness talking. Ang linaw-linaw ng ebidensiya, e bakit ba ayaw kumilos ng NBI na kusang mag-imbestiga. Dapat diyan sinisibak iyong Solgen who is not working for justice and truth to prevail but to make sure his boss will remain in office para nga naman retained din siya. Hopeless talaga! For the moment at least, hanggang magkaroon na talaga ng mga yagbols ang mga lalaki diyan. Gusto ko na ngang maniwala sa kaibigan kong DEA agent na hapon who spent 6 months training with the WHO DEA there. Tanong ba naman sa akin, bakit daw maraming bakla sa Pilipinas. Sabi ko, “Ewan ko kasi noon namang maliit ako bago kami pumunta sa Amerika, konti pa lang naman ang mga bakla na nagdaramit babae!” Never heard nga ako ng “silahis” until the late 70’s. Iyong mga bakla marami sa SFO kahit noong mga 70’s. Ginaya naman ng mga pilipino!
I recommend civil disobedience as a matter of fact.
yuko,
papano kikilos ang nbi mag imbestiga eh sino ba ang hepe nila ngayon..base sa mga pananaliksik ko dyan sa hello garci na yan..nbi ang nagsampa ng kaso laban kay “Ong” at dun isinampa direkta sa doj kay prosecutor velasco… may plano sila nun liquidate si ong binantayan mula dun sa seminaryo, di makakuha ng tiyempo, akala itinago ni jamby madrigal, kaya pati nun nalagay din sa “plan” nila si jamby at dun puntahan sa bahay nito sa ayala, alabang, na akala dun itinago si ong. pero, mga ilang buwan ang lumipas may lumabas na himig-himig, na si ong dahil ito ay isang miembro ng “mason” kaya ang parang nag-traydor ay yung mga kasama niya sa “mason”…kung gang sa mga darating na panahon di lumabas si “ong” yun na nga yun…pinatahimik na siya ng tuluyan! Dahil ang pag-asa nila since natakot at itinago na nila si doble eh di na lalabas uli ang tungkol sa garci at sila ay mga pa-easy-easy na lang…eh gumawa ng eksena si senator lacson…malamang pinupulong na naman ng malakanyang si velasco at ang nbi “intelligence group”….
Here’s the government’s version of events.
http://www.gov.ph/news/default.asp?i=10192
witness protection? hay…magtatago na lang ako dun sa likod ng bud tumatangis bago mapuntahan nila dadaan muna sila sa abu sayyaf …. di ba Mrivera…dami nilang dadaanan na checkpoint ng mga abu…!
Yuko,
condolence..!
After all the Senate hearings and they found out that tiyanak is really guilty, what is next? Can the Senate recommend her removal from office?
Yuko, my condolences. I just had four deaths in my family in he last four months. It ain’t easy.
PSB,
huli man daw at magaling naihahabol pa rin….condolence din sa yo..!
pati sa mga naulila ng mga namatay dulot ng “senseless war” na nangyayari sa basilan at sulu..
PSB,
hala tinanong mo yan..sige lalong di pauupuin ni Pangilinan si Chiz dun sa ano ngayon judicial committee ba tawag dun?
i-rerewind ko muna yung memory ko ha…kasi nabasa ko yun sa news eh..
di ba nga kasi yung investigation dun sa lamitan tapos na sa senado, rekomendasyon na lang sa judiciary natin ayun nakabitin pa rin at isa si pangilinan sa member ng committee..tapos yang garci tape pa..tapos eto pang basilan drama..naku tingnan natin ang mga idadahilan ni kiko kokak!
Thanks, John. Ang galing mo mag-retrieve from the archives. Very helpful.
I think Vidal Doble is the most credible witness that would corroborate ex-NBI Samuel Ong [wherever he is now] statement. He may have suffered credibility in the past but that is expected from anybody in his situation.
Anytime is never too late for TRUTH!
Congratulations, Vidal Doble! Mabuhay ka, Bay!

Go to hell, Father!
here’s my roundup of the soc villegas/vidal doble angle
http://www.politicaljunkie.blogspot.com/2007/08/soc-villegas-and-vidal-doble.html
Ystakei,
One day, a tourist chance upon a banana-Q vendor…
“Hey, what kinda banana is this?“, ask the Tourist.
“It’s Saging, Sir”, replied the Vendor.
After a while, the Tourist mumbled…
“Of all the bananas i’ve tasted… Saging is the best!”
________________________________________________________
Hope, i made your day. Condolence po.
rose Says: “Chi: Is this Bishop Villegas the one in the Edsa shrine?”
rose, di ba’t babae ‘yung rebulto sa edsa shrine? si socrates villegas pala ‘yun? bakit siya nag-disguise? para ba iligaw ‘yung humahanap sa kanya?
yuko,
isang taos pusong pakikiramay.
masakit man ang pagpanaw ng minamahal ay huwag nating ipagsakit ng kalooban sapagkat yaon ay bahagi lamang ng kanyang paglalakbay tungo sa kaharian ng poong maykapal!
Dahil pikon si Gloria at may tinatago, “Malacañan will invoke EO 464 in the Senate’s “Hello Garci” inquiry.”
To hit back at Ping, to the rescue naman siRAULo Gonzalez, “DOJ considers reopening the Espionage case.”
It’s Hello again to “Hello Garci.” This time stronger & well prepared. Gloria better hold her panty !
ystakei,
welcome back! well, first of all, accept my condolence.
about the “chiquita bananas” you brought with us here, there are plenty of these at malacanang (the basic food of gloria’s monkey-look-alike pets).
Sabi ni Esperon siya na raw ang nakatira sa dating bahay ni Abu at wala daw roong basement! Ibig niyang palabasin na nagsinungaling si Doble sa pagsabi na doon itinago ang kanyang pamilya at na doon siya dinala ni Villegas.
Galing ni Esperon ano?

this is certain, no doubt. but let’s just wait and see how ” Ping Lacson” push and bring into motion his wheelchair to prove his sincerity and determination to bring into justice this long-time alleged “hello garci” scandal, as the ball game is back in his hands.
I have trust with “senator Lacson” but never with the “supreme court”, and this is the toughest game that Lacson must get to “win”, and if he does, that would perhaps be his “perfect weapon” to take that sit in malacanang (the would-be president) and i would be hoping for that.
sir, sana hindi kami mabibigo sa inyo.
ang mahirap sa DOBLE issue eh baka pakawala na naman yan nila GMA. pinalabas ulit then pag gigil na ang lahat eh tsaka babaliktad na naman yang si doble-cara. kuryente na naman si lacson. hasn’t anyone noticed the timing of doble? masyadong mainit ngayon sa mindanao. nabubuko ang mga kapalpakan ng military. they need cover-up. para malihis ang focus ng mga taong-bayan. just my thoughts…
sana lang at hinde magka “doble doble” ang ibabayad ng malacanang kay “T/sgt. Doble” para bumaliktad na naman !
Mrivera: Thanks for calling my attention to this very vague and erroneous way of stating a statement. What I meant is he the one assigned to take charge of the shrine?
I did not mean to be disrespectful to the Blessed Mother that we Catholics honor and respect so much. Naku! baka pag multuhan ako ng nanay ko..particular pa man din sa grammar.
Yuko: my condolences to you and family. I will offer my prayers for her and may she rest in peace. As we say… eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her.
rose,
just always remember that our great friend “mrivera” is a great “sarcastic” ! smile !!!
in fact admired him much. mrivera, pag-uwi mo ng pinas pasyal tayo sa “baywalk”.
off-topic:
mrivera,
kumusta na nga pala ang “saudi” ngayon? na-mis ko din ang bansa na iyan, ano na ang lasa ngayon ng “sadique”? baka marami ng bulag na kababayan natin ngayon dyan !
I think I would like to agree with Parasabayan’s observation why Doble just came out again now. I personally don’t buy his reason that he was scared for two years. Now, he has the courage because he’s now a civilian. Why, doesn’t a civilian get hurt or killed? It doesn’t matter if one is a soldier or civilian as long as he has the balls. Doble should join those Magdalo soldiers in jail. I’ve always admired Ping Lacson but sometimes I’m beginning to doubt his actions. This might be his latest antics again. I bet you nothing’s gonna come out with this new issue. We’re all in the opposition but let’s not always believe on what some of our idols do especially if they have their own hidden agendas like political plans.
Ang bilis remesbak ng EK. Ermita said that EK will invoke the Palace-issued EO 464’s for the “Hello Garci” hearings. And Gunggong Gonzales is pursuing investigation of the Ray Aquino’s passing info to political personalities that includes Lacson.
Talagang merong itinatago. Huli sa bibig ang gagong Gungggong when he said, “It’s tit for tat with the Senate… if they don’t want to let sleepy dogs lie,”.
E yung ayaw abalahing sleepy dogs nila ay stuffed with Hello Garci. Push the panic button again for the EK queenwitch
and warlocks!
Gloria for sure is more scared of the Hello Garci than the gera-gerahan she created in Mindanao. Dapat lang dahil iyan ang kanyang “legacy” at multo hanggang impierno.
Hello Garci is the cause of all miseries in the country today. Unless Bishop Villegas come out in the open and spill out all he knows/and participation in this Hello Garci episode, I don’t think personal penitent he only knows will work for me.
Cocoy,
Mabait akong tao kung ang basehan ay giving a person another chance because I believe in the conscience of a human being, except Gloria and her likes. So many chances have been given to Gloria pero wala siyang konsiensya.
Maliit lang na tao si Doble, his sins we read were recanting (to protect his family) at ang pambabae which is very personal to people concerned. May pakinabang naman duon sa babae niya, nagsalita naman.
Chabeli,
Panty lang ba ang hahawakan ni Gloria? Hahahaha!
Bishop Villegas is in his comfort residence in Bataan. Don’t bother him. Remember Bataan is the empire of the Magsaysays.
Other than the former Senator Gene Magsaysay, I’m not impressed with the reputation of the rest of the Magsaysay clan. One Congressman who took back his signature during the impeachment was an addict. The ones in control of Bataan are reported to be gambling operators. So please, don’t bug Villegas. He wants to focus on his church duties and spiritual needs of the people of Bataan, not politics.
iking 47,
marami na ang nagkahepataytis dahil sa sadiki, sabi nila. dahil daw sa mga sangkap na ginagamit. meron ding tinamaan daw ng diabetes dahil sa asukal na ginagamit na enchancer. meron ding mga natepok daw dahil sa sakit sa puso at kung ano ano pang mga nakakatakot na sakit na knamatayan ng mga umiinom ng sadiki. hindi na bale ‘yung mga nahuling umiinom at nagbbebenta, at least buhay.
nakakatakot lalo’t dito abutin ng pagkatepok sa malayo. ilang buwan ang aabutin bago iuwi ang bangkay. kaya ako ay matagal nang tumigil……. ng pakikipag-usap sa kanila dahil nakakawalang gana.
he he he he heeeeh.
sa totoo lang kaibigan, hindi ako umiinom….. ng lokal.
at saka alam mo ba? marami pa ring arabo dito sa saudi arabia. ang gagaling nilang magsalita ng arabic kahit bata pa.
JohnM,
Thanks for the link. Right, “obsruction of justice” for Balanga Bishop Socrates Villegas.
Heh, halos hindi ko maisulat ang word na Balanga! Hindi siya taga-Balanga ha, he was just assigned there.
rose,
huwag kang magpapaniwala diyan kay iking 47. nagpapatawa lang ako.
huwag mong seryosohin ‘yung sinabi ko.
If Doble came out in the open again upon orders of EK for some reasons and not really to right the wrong, then hell…dalawa kami ni Ping Lacson na maloloko niya.

If Ong and Doble come out and speak the truth, what benefit the Filipino people can get from their revelation?

The truth, cocoy, the truth.
Ellenville is for truth and justice. At least if the two will speak the truth, a half of our objective would be satisfied!
I mean only in this Hello Garci issue. The other issues, we still have to continue unearthing the truth!
men0k, you got a good point in your observation there. Baka nga.
Yuko,
She died when your not around her anymore. Baka ayaw ka niyang umiyak. Condolence. Give me a call when you’re here.
Gokusen,
So kung hindi lalabas si Ong ay baka ganun na nga! Yeah, iyang miembro ng mason ay most influential personalities in Pinas. Kaya siguro secret society.

Sabi ni Esperon siya na raw ang nakatira sa dating bahay ni Abu at wala daw roong basement! Ibig niyang palabasin na nagsinungaling si Doble sa pagsabi na doon itinago ang kanyang pamilya at na doon siya dinala ni Villegas.
Galing ni Esperon ano?
***
Baka tinambakan na ng semento ang basement in anticipation of a resurrected Hello Garci.
chi, tawa ka ng tawa diyan samantalang nagsisintir si rose dahil sa akala niyang maling pagbanggit tungkol sa presensiya ni bishop villegas sa edsa shrine na ginawan ko lang ng konting kakenkuyang hindi kaagad niya nasakyan.
rose, cheers. wala kang dapat alalahaning nilapastangan mo ang blessed mother. mas ako dahil sa aking kalokohan.
Goji,
Oldies here know that Lacson is not my idol, but I will give him a chance to prove himself more. If he fails, then sabi nga ni Rose, at least we tried for the truth to come out.
It’s better to have hopes and die than never to have hopes at all.
Heheh! Rose, masanay ka na kay Mrivera. Iba ang tuktok niyan kung madalas, magkakosa sila ni Tongue.
Oopps, w/o kung.
chi, grabe ka, ha?
Goji,
Wrong. Bataan is not a Magsaysay country. Zambales is (that’s cocoy’s).
Bataan is Roman’s, Payumo’s and Garcia’s.
Addition, goji. Bataan is not a gambling stronghold. The Romans, Payumos and Garcias are tradpols but they’re not huwetengeros! Pampanga ‘yang tinutukoy mo. Bataan is sandwitched between Zambales and Pampanga.
Si Enrile sabi ko na nga ba ay pipiyok vs. Lacson expose. Nawala na rin yata ang prinsipyo,binoto ko pa naman nung 2004 elections. mahirap talaga pag may business interests,palaging sa nakaupo nakasandig except during the time of Cory.
Ystakei,
Condolences on the passing away of your aunt. May she rest in peace.
Chi, Hahhhhhahahahahahhhhhh !
August 22nd, 2007 at 9:05 pm
Chabeli,
Panty lang ba ang hahawakan ni Gloria? Hahahaha!
Gloria was panicky and called Lacson et al “titans of hate”.
NCO of Tribune has this to say…
***
“…Yet, in lashing out at her critics yesterday, she said: I have a country to run. I have terrorists to fight. I have peace to win and a bright future to secure for the children,” claiming that she embraces work and will just leave to the titans of hate to have a monopoly on the “politics of destruction.” (nagpapatawa si gluerilla, hahahah! chi)
But she knows she doesn’t have a country to run, because she was never given the mandate to lead and run the country.
She has terrorists to fight? Who bred these terrorists if not Gloria herself? What bright future is she aiming to secure for the children when she is a liar, a thief and a fraud and has moreover brought the people nothing but more debts that will have them stay in the poorhouse for many generations yet to come?”
Amen!
Gokusen:
Sorry kagigising ko lang. Hindi ko nakita ang post mo until this moment. May jet lag. Akala ko hindi ako maje-jet lag, pero no effect iyong ginawa kong preparation when I was still in the USA.
Anyway, tama ka. Walang silbi na ang NBI. Entonces, dapat nang mabuwag iyan kung mga incompetent naman ang nagpapatakbo. Medico-legal nga diyan nababayaran kaya mali-mali ang mga documents na nilalabas. Kahit kriminal nakakakuha ng police clearance at iyong mga walang criminal record, hindi binibigyan ng clearance. Gago!
Sa totoo lang with Lacson’s witness, etc. dapat kumikilos na ang mga pulis na mag-imbestiga ng kaso ng “Hello Garci!” based on this witness’ statement. Hindi naman kailangan ang go-signal lalo na ng mga taong involved sa kaso. Common sense lang naman.
I should know. I worked as a civilian interpreter cum investigator for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for more than a decade. Hindi na nga lang ako nag-renew ng contract ko kasi na-guilty ako na parang nagdarasal na magkaroon ng krimen para magkaroon ako ng trabaho at malaking pera. Malaki kasi ang bayad sa special skills ko, walang hindi nahuling kriminal. Thanks to my 6th sense and blessings from up above.
Madalas nga gustung-gusto ko nang mag-volunteer na turuan iyong mga gunggong sa Pilipinas ng technique ng mga pulis dito na talaga namang scientific ang dating. Pero my 6th sense says, walang mangyayari. Baka matepok pa ako dahil sa yabang ng mga tao diyan e hindi aamin ng mga mali at palpak na mga palakad. In short, mahirap espelengin.
Pag-asa na nga lang iyong mga Magdalo. Sila na tiyak ang sagot sa mga problema ng mga pilipino. Tapos proper training, pihado ko wala nang makakaligtas na kriminal. Lahat puede nang ipakulong forever kundi man mabitay!
Salamat sa mga info on the Moslems in Mindanao. Dapat silang ituring na kapwa pilipino ng mga pilipino kahit iba ang religion nila. Tao din naman sila. Hindilamok na gaya ng trato noong malditang gustong matawag na reyna kahit na mukha naman siyang tsimay. Yuck! Nakakai-Yuck!
Thanks, PSB. Mahal ko kasi ang auntie ko. Kapatid ng mother ko. I promised to be there when she died kaya ako pumunta sa Tate. Nagpaalam naman ako sa kaniya, at saka siguro ayaw din niyang makita ko ang pag-alis niya kaya namatay after I got back to Japan. Alam niya kasi mahina rin ang katawan ko and she did not want to upset me. Kasi talagang naglupasay ako when I first saw her. Parang gumaling nga when I was there. Akala ko sa Pasko pa siya aalis after we danced hula-hula pero hindi na nakahintay.
To all my friends here, salamat for the condolence but it time for her to go. Nakaabot din siya ng 93 years old. I expect to live longer.
Thanks John for the reminder. Ako, matagal ko nang alam na puro kalokohan lang ang mga publicity stunt ni Gloria unano at ng mga kasabwat niya. Iyong si Ong, hindi kasi namin member iyan. Kundi natulungan iyan para kumanta ng husto. Iyon namang mga pari na tinakbuhan niya, duwag din pala. Dapat excommunicate nila si Gloria unano, et al for the crimes that she and her cahoots have committed. Hindi yong pino-protect nila kasi malaki ang taga nila sa PCSO ba iyong sweepstakes, etc. na nakikinabang sila? Ang dali namang malaman ang katotohanan sa totoo lang. Kaya lang involved kasi malalaking isda kaya hindi mahuli o ayaw hulihin. Mga inutil, they are!!!
Bagwis,
So Enrile may almzheimer na yata kaya ganyan ang kilos. Dapat sa mga iyan ipinapasok sa ospital at hindi pinababayaang gumala. Sayang siya kasi talagang magaling kung gagamitin ang dunong sa katinuan. Iyong mga nagawa niyang kabutihan natatabunan na tuloy ng mga kalokohan kasi dumidikit siya sa mga Pidals. I think gumaya na lang siya kay Brenda at Angara para hindi mapurnada ang logging business niya. Sad to know that presently, awan nakim na!!!
Yuko,
Sabihan mo nga iyang tiyuhing Enrile mo na sumakabilang-buhay na lang s’ya, please. Ang tanda e naghahasik pa ng lagim!
You bet, Chi! Kaya wala akong ganang sumulat sa kaniya. Kung susulat man ako sa kaniya, iko-condemn ko siya for having become as stupid and corrupt as the maldita has made him to be.
I bet you may nagbabasa sa mga bodyguards ni Enrile sa blog ni Ellen. Paki-batikos nga!
Nataranta raw si Dayana Zubiri dahil ang dinig niyang lumutang ay si Bedol. Ang pangalan kasi ni Doble ay Vidal.
Iyong namang grupo ni Sgt. Vidal na nagsagawa ng wiretapping ay tinatawag na MIGZ-21!
Baka naihi pa sa panty si Dayana, heheeh!
Off topic but the group of Gambala, et al have been dishonorably discharged. Ngayon daw ide-demanda sila sa civilian court. Akala siguro nila marunong tumupad ng pangako iyong unano. O di nadenggoy na naman sila. Buti nga sa kanila!
Chi says: “Nataranta raw si Dayana Zubiri dahil ang dinig niyang lumutang ay si Bedol. Ang pangalan kasi ni Doble ay Vidal.”
Chi, i-rambol mo yung “Doble”, “Bedol” rin yun!
Doble-sakit ng ulo ni Gloria sila Doble at Bedol!
Goji says: “I personally don’t buy his reason that he was scared for two years.”
Goji, he was detained for two years. It’s in today’s Tribune.
Bagwis,
Enrile is playing footsies with the bitch. He needs her to protect his investments. Especially with what’s happening now in Philcomsat where his shares are administered by daughter Katrina in the tug-o-war battle in its Board of Directors. That, and many other interests he has afforded with his “meager” salary from Marcos’ cabinet.
Mrivera: It’s ok. Ang gusto ko sanang isagot sa primero- ay hindi ba nakasayang puti? Kaya lang hindi ko ma figure out kung serious o nagbibiro ka.
Mrivera: at isa pa baka magtaka si Ellen kung yon ang isasagot ko..I don’t want to destroy their image of me. anong image?
Tongue,
May kaso ng police brutality, etc. dito sa pagkulong kay Doble. Bakit hindi pumipiyok ang federation ng bar associations diyan. Sa amin iyan, malaking issue na iyong revelation ni Doble tungkol sa pag-detain sa kaniya ng dalawang taon without being indicted. Matinding injustice iyan. Dapat diyan isinasampa na ang mga kaso nila sa ICJ kahit na alam nating ang kakapal na ng mga mukha ng mga ungas na nakaupong iyan. Better, dapat mag-alsa na ang mga taumbayan na ginagago ng mga ungas!!! Sobrang graft and corruption! Dinaig ang graft and corruption noong panahon ni Apo Marcos.
Patalsikin na, now na!
Let’s give Ping a chance; for all we know he could be the only timber who who could teach the kind of discipline that suits the Filipinos best.
BTW, if you wanna read the full text of Lacson’s Privelege speech on Doble, it’s on Lacson’s blog: pinglacson.blogspot.com
Comelec Commissionaire Rene Sarmiento is definitely a coward and chicken out in the re-opening of Hello Garci scam. He has no balls to confront Elections chief Benjamin Abalos and Malacanang. Hangang putak-tak lang siya.
Tongue, Enrile made his fortune in the logging business. Kinalbo niya ang Region 2. Pati yung kapiranggot kong mga puno putol! He sure has a lot of interests to protect so he better be good to anyone who is in power otherwise, he has a lot of explaining to do. He also knows a lot of the Marcos doings and dealings. You know what’s next!
So far, si Lacson lang naman sa opposition ang nakikita kong may kakatagan na labanan sina Pidal, kaya lang dapat talaga tapusin niya. This case or issue will make or break Sen Lacson for 2010 Pres election. Maluluma niya si Villar, et al. Kanya tingnan natin kung magcooperate sila sa kanya para bigyan ito ng tuldok.
Obvious na obvious naman ang guilt ni Glueria dahil bakit ayaw niya at ng kanyang mga kampon na maki-cooperate sa investigation. Teka, hindi ba in=admit nayan at sinabi pa nga niya ‘Am Sorry’? There is paradox in this Hello Garci scandal.
PSB,
Tongue, Enrile made his fortune in the logging business. Kinalbo niya ang Region 2….
di lang region 2 pati region 9…eto ating dalawa lang ha..(ulit) during his time sa dnd dami niyang kinikita sa logging dun sa mindanao…kasi isa sa mga nangongolekta para sa kanya yung kamag-anak ko .hehehe kaya nga “mahiwaga” yung pagkamatay ni mayor climaco ng zamboanga..ah mahiwaga pala yung pagkamatay ni mayor climaco..!
Enrile made fortune starting from Marcos, Cory, FVR, Estrada and now Arroyo. He will continue to make fortune on whoever the next President is. Speaking of illegal logging, the Angaras are the kings in their region.
weep no more my motherland retribution shall come anguish shall descend on her house of clay the pillar of the house shall break at the cistern and crumble and the pigeon prince shall fall from the sky and dame justice shall impale her wicked child with her sword.
PSB, Gokusen,
Yes, logging, is one of the many.
I remember sometime in the late 70s/early 80s seeing the guy Jackie (now Jack) Enrile’s bodyguards killed in Stargazer Disco. The guy was also in the logging biz and Jackie reportedly got irked by the guy’s drunk behavior and loud mouth while talking to him. Of course, he had to shout, the music was very, very loud.
I think the guy’s name was Ricky Manalad or Manalang. We saw his body being taken out of the service elevator while we were on our way up.
Guess it’s the way they handled business competitors, no?
TT,
Jackie..as in “jack n poy” hali-hali hoy..sinong matalo siyang “patay” ! siya ngayon ang naghandle ng JAKA right? at siya rin yung nasa spread sa celebrity news na may kinalaman sa pagkamatay ni Joel Alano? I was in freshman high school nun kaya tanda ko pa at fan ni maricel soriano hehehe!
Tongue, you seem to know a lot about Jackie Enrile. He ….many including one famous young actor Alfie Anido. Jackie and Bongbong Marcos tried to avoid each other. They were also enemies. Today, Jackie is a Congressman. He calls himself a Born Again Christian. He reads the bible and at one time distributed lots of bible books to people. He is not talked about these days because of his powerful dad. Remember one time when Jamby Madrigal mentioned at the Senate about Enrile’s illegal businesses? Hell broke loose. The elder Enrile was very mad. Jackie in his time was not the only toughie. There was one Banjo Laurel of the famous Batangas Laurel clan. And of course the Asistios. Even Tito Soto belonged to one combo called “Tilt Down Men”.
Goji,
out of topic…
Okey lang ba me naman ngayon ask ng question for you..out of my curiosity…reading your comments and reading those between each line..parang na-fe-feel ko na you’re not just a simple “blogger” you’re such a “somebody”? maybe you’re also wearing a uniform with different pins on it? or maybe you are one of those seating in a “chamber” holding a gavel?
Gokusen, most of us here are using aliases. Ellen knows my e-mail address and you also have access to it. I’m not somebody up there if that’s what you’re thinking. I’m like all of you…with a sincere desire to remove this evil woman in the Palace. I know so many things from past to present due to my research like you do, and some connections within the government and military (past and present).
goji,
thanks ha! kasi punto per punto kang magbigay ng comment bilib naman ako sa book of knowledge mo, nasa isip ko kasi baka “walking encyclopedia” ka rin tulad ni ernie baron..anyway..researcher’s research blog na itong ellenville , hukay tayo ng hukay na dagdag na impormasyon at kaalaman…! teka ano ba maganda britannica oh world book?
Gokusen, mag-google ka na lang, lahat lahat malalaman mo at matatagpuan mo!

Pati nga ang pwesto at lugar ng bahay namin ay hindi maitago sa google. Pero ako ay naghihintay lang ng info sa Ellenville, tamad kasi akong mag-google.

Ystakei,
Medyo nahuli ako, pero condolence. Your aunt is at peace now with our Lord!
Why, what happened to ystakei’s aunt? She passed away? My sincere condolence too.
Thanks Zen2 and Luzviminda for the condolence. You bet, she’s gone to a higher realm. 93 full years she spent on earth because I guess she was good to her parents. She did not die of any illness. Just old age!
Remember the promise of God when one honors and respects his/her parents. “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” (Exodus 20:12)
I spent a month with her. My mother wanted me to be by her side because she was asking for me. I thought she would live till Christmas because her condition improved after I arrived in SFO. She died a day after I left. I guess she wanted me to remember her when she started looking her better self.
Maganda kahit na matanda na siya. Hometown queen when she was young. Eurasian kasi. May lahing British and Cantonese!
goji,
JAKA is handled by Katrina, as all Enrile business interests are. Hindi pwede yung mag-ama, madadale ng conflict of interest, as if pinapraktis dito sa Pinas.
Ka-batch ko si Katrina, pati yung magkapatid na Imee at Irene, and Virata’s daughter, too. Mga anak ng tatlong pinakamalakas na tao nung panahong iyon, sabay-sabay sa UP. Walang mga kaibigan, maliban kay Irene na may laging kasamang foreigner na bading. Ang backup convoy ng magkapatid 12 sasakyan, kay Katrina 14, kay Virata wala.
Ikaw, Tongue, ilan ang backup convoy mo? 🙂
Tongue, Katrina had a basketball player boyfriend playing for La Salle NCAA then. He was a good looking Fil-Am recruited by La Salle whose name I forgot. You mentioned Virata. The former Prime Minister Cesar Virata was among the few respected
Marcos men. Under his leadership, the Ministry of Finance did very well then. Too bad after Marcos was ousted, Virata’s talents and skills were not utilized by the other presidents. Unlike other Marcos cabinet members, I have not heard of Virata’s corruption.

…Zen2, you’re so fortunate your sympathy got acknowledged. Mine was ignored. Is it proper to take back one’s condolence? Of course I’m not going to. Sympathy and condolence is for the living and not the dead because the dead knows nothing. But sometimes, the living behaves more like a dead.

IF all men count with you, but none too much;
IF you can fill the unforgiving minute

Kung kasama sa bilang yung mga jeepney na biyaheng “Ikot” at JD Transit Bus na bumubuntot sa Limang-Piso Walang Tindigan MetroManila Commission Bus ni Imelda na lagi kong sinasakyan, mas mahaba ang convoy ko.
Kung sila Imee at Irene nakasakay sa 6-door stretch MBenz limo, ako naka 2-door MBenz naman…kaya lang 28 windows at merong konduktor.
goji,
Hindi ko na inabot si Banjo. Grade school pa ako nung nakapamyesta kami sa mansyon ng mga Laurel sa Tanauan pero patay na yata nun si Banjo. Ang naaalala ko lang nakita ko si ex-Sen Teroy, ex-VP Doy, at mga pinsan nilang mga Dimayuga, sila Tita Carmela (May-ari ng Yazaki-Torres) at Bella (of Bellestars fame), at yung socialite Mayor ngayon doon na si Sonia Torres-Aquino. (langya, parang si Maurice Arcache kung magname-drop!)
Nabanggit mo uli yung Tiltdown Men ni Tito Sotto, kundi ako nagkakamali, kasama niya sa banda si Tony Tuviera (Eat Bulaga Producer) at minsan ko ring naka-jamming kasama sina Snaffu at Spanky Rigor and later even recorded one number with them in Cinema Audio when they were VST already.
Regarding Katrina’s boyfriend, if you are talking about her college beau, he was an Atenista, Connelly ang apelyido yata nung si tisoy na nagkaanak kay Katrina, pero nilayasan naman siya. Ayos sa tsismis-Diliman, sa tindi ng takot kay Jackie at Johnny biglang naglaho si Connelly.
Si Katrina mahilig kasi sa disco nung araw, sumasayaw pa nga sa Penthouse 7 ni Archie Lacson, tapos tatambay sa Wherelse sa Intercon ka-swing yung mga baklang mga anak ng Generals sa Phil. Air Force!
——–
O, ayan, Ellen, may Society/Showbiz section pa ang blog today, heheh.
Wait, hindi pala si Banjo kundi si Dodgie Laurel (race car driver) ang patay na noon, after crashing his Lotus Esprit in a practice run in Hong Kong. Pero wala pa rin akong maalala kay Banjo aside from mga kwento ng mga sikyo sa opisina na pag-aari ng mga Laurel – yung Blue Dragon Security – big enough to be their private army. Pero meron pang isa – Yung Combined Security, sa mga Laurel din at lahat yata ng sikyo, taga-Tanauan din. Paanong hindi aabuso si Banjo, bukod sa inispoil ni Speaker, dalawang sikyu groups pa ang back-up.
Whew! Pasensiya na, struggling with memory, but it’s a worthwhile exercise.
Tongue, yes it was Connelly but he played for La Salle not Ateneo. I’m positive of that. Katrina then became the girl friend of then matinee idol Alfie Anido. Anido was among the most popular young actors then similar to today’s Aga Muhlac. He wanted to break off with Katrina or something went wrong between their relationship. Jackie got upset and when they met (I don’t remember where), he poked the gun on the kneeling and begging Anido and then shot him. There was news black out but everyone in the entertainment industry at that time knew the story. As usual, he got away with it. Once, a navy caption or son of a prominent family accidentally tripped Jackie. The poor guy was also killed.
Even Bong Bong Marcos evaded Jackie. Both side made sure they did not cross one another’s path. If one of them knew the other was in a particular place, one changes direction.
Banjo Laurel was very notorious too. Once he was in a night club listening to a combo playing, he did not like the way the drummer played so the guy got beaten up badly.
Tongue:
You should hear the story about the wandering spirit of Banjo Laurel enough for the HK priests to do some exorcism at the very spot he crashed his car and died.
I was already in Japan when it happened. Nasa dyaryo dito because of the Laurel connection with Japan, and a Laurel serving then as Philippine ambassador. Wala pang Internet noon, not even a fax machine. Just telegram/cablegram and long distance calls.
Tongue, aren’t we the ones talking about Banjo Laurel? We have a tress passer. Some people just love to dip their fingers into all issues. I hope they don’t get burned.
tongue,
tama ka. si dodgie laurel ang patay na noong mga panahong nino-nostalgia mo. ilang taon pagkamatay ni dodgie saka ibinalitang bumagsak daw ang helipakter na sinasakyan ni banjo dahil kinargahan daw ng ordinaryong gasolina.
sa “burol ni banjo” dumating at dumalaw ang kanya raw kakambal galing hongkong.
ewan! ang gulo ng istorya ng mayayaman.
TongueT,
Bilib talaga ako sa iyo. Ang galing-galing mo talaga sa Social Studies! Mapa-politics, showbiz o celebrities. Pati mga issue ng mga socialites alam mo, ala Maurice Arcache. Baka ka-rubbing elbows mo rin si Johnny Litton. Naabutan ko yata yung ibang issues na iyan. High School & college ko kasi eh Martial Law era. Pati MetroManila Transit at LoveBus ni Imelda e nabutan ko. Pero mas bilib ako dahil pati bintana ng ‘limo’ e bilang mo! Hehehe!
Tongue, remember a certain Bocalan too? At that time, two notorious gangs were Havox and Combat. Rumbles and fights were common in parties involving mostly children of prominent families.
