Gloria appoints manicurist to Pagibig board and gardener as deputy Luneta park administration

Just like manicurist, GMA gardener gets sinecure
by Jarius Bondoc

Professionals among Malacañang’s housekeeping staff are outraged. Not only did Gloria Macapagal Arroyo appoint her personal manicurist to the board of trustees of Pag-IBIG Housing Fund. She also earlier named her gardener as deputy of the Luneta Park Administration. Both postings are improper sinecures, Palace aides murmur.

One insider feels disgust that beautician Anita Carpon and gardener Armando Macapagal were placed in positions in a departing admin. As Pag-IBIG trustee Carpon will make P130,000 a month in per diem, plus perks, for a fixed two-year term. Macapagal’s seat as Luneta deputy earns less. But his appointment can be as dubious if he and the President happen to be related. The Constitution and anti-graft laws prohibit government officials from appointing or transacting with kin.

Another source laments that the postings were made on the sly. Carpon was sneaked into the Pag-IBIG board along with three others after the terms of four trustees lapsed in recent weeks. But she was unable to join them in last week’s oath taking and first board meeting as she accompanied Arroyo to the US and Spain. Macapagal’s appointment surfaced only after Carpon’s hit the headlines. A Palace reporter says the offices of Executive Sec. Larry Mendoza and Press Sec. Cris Icban are mum about the appointments, likely made during the election ban.


A third insider doubts the two appointees’ credentials. Macapagal supposedly landscapes Malacañang lawns but does not manage people. Carpon is not known for financial expertise to oversee the multibillion-peso housing mutual fund of all employees. Nicknamed Nitz, she is often scolded by Arroyo for mismatching presidential handbags and shoes.

In 2005 Arroyo named her personal dentist Leonor Rosero as head of the Professional Regulation Commission. Soon after, widespread cheating rocked the nursing licensure exams.

Olivar waffles on disclosing details on manicurist, gardener

by Regina Bengco
Malaya

Malacañang yesterday defended President Arroyo’s appointment of her manicurist and gardener to high posts in two government agencies, claiming that they are qualified for the job.

Deputy presidential spokesman Gary Olivar acknowledged it is reasonable for the people to ask for the background or qualification of the two. But despite a promise the other day to make the information available yesterday, he has not released the information.

All he would say was that Anita Carpon, Arroyo’s manicurist, is fit to represent “ordinary” Filipinos in the board of the Pag-IBIG Fund. He said a seat is reserved in the Pag-IBIG board for ordinary employes, most of whom go to Pag-IBIG for their needs.

A check with the Pag-IBIG website Wednesday showed there will be one representative for government employees, and it already listed Carpon’s name. It specified two representatives each for private employees and private employers.

Other members of the board of trustees are the chair of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, in this case Vice President Noli de Castro; the secretaries of the Finance, Budget, Labor, and Trade departments; and the chief executive officer of the Pag-IBIG Fund.

Olivar said Carpon has a government item. He said the same is true with Armando Macapagal, Arroyo’s gardener, whom she appointed as deputy of the Luneta Park Administration.

Carpon, who will have a fixed two-year term as Pag-IBIG trustee, will get a monthly salary of P130,000, plus other perks.

  1. I have a feeling Gloria is doing all these para inisan lang tayo. She’s getting back at us for exposing her dishonesty and shamelessness and making her the most despised Malacañang occupant.

  2. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Gloria Arroyo is above the law. Election ban on government appointees does not exist based on her actions. She is compared to Roman tyrant emperor Caligula who appointed his favorite race horse, Incitatus as consul. The horse was also invited to dine with the insane emperor. BTW, Gloria Arroyo also dined with crocks and pigs.

  3. Next appointmemnts:

    1. Gloria’s masahista to the Board of National Orthopedic Hospital.

    2. Malacañang’s cook as Usec. of the National Food Authority.

    3. Mikey’s driver as Asec of LTO.

    4. Mike’s horse trainer as Usec. of Bureau of Animal Industry

    5. Yaya of Mikey, Dato and Luli as Administrator of Manila Zoo.

  4. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Gloria’s hair dresser to National Mental Hospital.

    Oks lang yan …. kung yong mga tangnang mga General niya ay kung saan saan nga ipinaglalagay …. may nagawa ba tayo?

    Noon pa naman Ellen ….. pinagtatawanan na lang tayo …. ngayon niyo lang ba alam?

    In 2005 Arroyo named her personal dentist Leonor Rosero as head of the Professional Regulation Commission.

    Hindi ba’t ang consigliere ni Villar is one Nalen Rosero-Galang? Are they related? Or is it pure coincidence?

    Nasaan na ang mga James Bond dito?

    She should appoint Douglas Cagas as Ambassador to Spain. That would be hilarious. I can almost hear the Spaniards ask, Douglas, cagas? (Douglas, do you defecate)?

    Yung mga nag-Spanish 1, 2, 12 and 13 diyan? Let us conjugate the word “cagar” (to unload your bowels).

    cago, cagas, caga; cagamos, cagais, cagan.

  7. Isagani Isagani

    E yung labandera niya saan inappoint?

  8. Mike Mike

    I have the same feeling too Ellen, nagaasar ang bruha. BTW, is it true that a recent survey showed that her rating in Pampannga is low? That she might loose the election to an unknown? Sana nga tutoo, but knowing her expertise in magic, she can still win.

  9. Isagani Isagani

    Binababoy ni Gloria ang Pilipinas, tapos mananalo pa siya bilang congresswoman. Subra na gid! Only in the PI.

    For as long as good people do nothing about it, evil, that is gloria, will do just about anything to the point of absurdity to everybody’s chagrin. She doesn’t even have to test the waters for anything that creeps into her diabolical mind. Other than the usual everyday verbal attacks she has grown immune to (and doesn’t care one iota), she knows nobody has the nerves to lift a finger to stop her. Why, she can even name Zaldy Ampatuan to head a department we may aptly call, “Special Presidential Arm on Peace and Order” with a cabinet rank. Or perhaps name her pig to head the Professional Regulation Commisssion. Better still, delegate ABALOS to head the SEC (SECURITY “IN” EXCHANGE OF COMMISSION). Hey, anything goes !!

    We do not have to look far to amuse ourselves with thrashy comedies. Gloria’s government alone is a hapless everyday comedy in itself. The sad thing about it is that because of inaction, Juan had unwittingly become the unfortunate victim of a clown who does as she likes with impunity because she knows she can.

  13. chi chi

    There’s no stopping Gloria to appoint even her taga-punas pwet. Tanggal din ang mga alalays niya after June if positions require CS eligibility. If not, pwede bang walang ways to kick them out.

    Basta hindi na sya ang presidente by noon of June kahit i-appoint pa niya ang super aide niya na Taning, no can do na ang kanyang kauunanahan.

    dapat bantayan ng mamamayan ang comelec automated garci, particularly the evil commissioner Nicodemus Ferrer…………………

  23. A radio news commenter here jokingly said, we should expect her hairdresser to be appointed to a lucrative position too.

  24. The Philippines will have a very difficult time convincing big-time investors to come to the country; foreign leaders will be hard put to take government officials seriously too in the future.

    The perception that the Philippines is one corrupt society with a highly corrupt leadership will not go away easily, election or no election of new leaders.

    Seriously now, do you think Zimbabwe is any different from the Philippines?

  25. Ellen,

    Perhaps, her manicurist is highly qualified — for all you know she has the IQ of Einsten; either that or has an economics degree from Wharton?

    After all, Gloria the Pug apparently has a PhD in economics…

    Btw, there was a TV news report on Pacquiao on Luxembourg TV here — apparently, he just might win a Congress seat and that given the penchant of Pinoys for celebrities, he might end up president too.

  26. Sumpit, I heard about that but we are not seeing the ash — not below flight paths; so don’t worry. It’s not like Mt Pinatubo’s erruption.

    There’s been an over-reaction by aviation authorities over the ash thing. In any case, not to worry, it’s not as if Europe is about to collapse over the loss of 1 billion euros.

    You see we pay proper taxes here (and high taxes too); no such thing as tax evasion. (Grrrrr — and believe me, sometimes I’d like to have the RP way of doing it, not pay taxes but no escape…)

  27. Glad to hear that you’re safe.

    It just means that we’re still here to make hell on Glueria’s Speakership.

  28. Glad to hear that you’re safe.

    Thanks, Sumpit… Europe is very safe despite volcano erruption in Iceland. Not as if you can’t see the sky because of ash — can’t see the ash. I think folks suffer more frommore dust in Manila than in Oslo or in Copenhagen.

    My sister who lives somewhere in the hills outside of Manila has just left hospital because of a violent asthma attack due to Manila pollution and heat.

    Putot’s last travel will be to receive the International Comedianne of the year award in Mexico, Pampanga, May 15, 2010. 5 days after the halal-day.

  30. She’s getting back at us for exposing her dishonesty and shamelessness and making her the most despised Malacañang occupant.

    Ellen,

    So, sira ulo na talaga. Getting back at us? How? Sira na talaga ang ulo.

    Told ya in the past, this woman is not intelligent at all — she’s street smart alright (just like an ordinary thief) but her knee jerk reactions to problems is symptomatic of a person whose brain is skewed.

    Maybe her close proximity and her buddy buddy relationship with Brenda has affected her brain.

  31. Btw, she’s probably appointed her manicurist as PagIbig trustee PagIbig because of the money — she probably has planned to dip her dirty fingers in the PagIbig fund pot through her manicurist.

    Yan ang hirap at ipinagtatanggol pa ng malakanyang ang pag appoint kay carpon sa board of trustees sa Pag-Ibig Fund.

    The problem is all the lying and cheating wioth this government will not end, unless gloria and heer hoods are put out of commission.

    Imagine na karapatan daw ng ordinaryong empleyado ng gobyerno yung appointment ni carpon? my question is since when did carpon become an employee of the government?does she have the eligibilty to be employed by the government?does it apply to ordinary civil servant in other government agencies or it is only applicable to a selected few?

    E kung ganyan ng ganyan isa lang and dapat mangyari sa bansa natin. REBOLUSYON!!!! at ng maalis na ang mga talamak at gahaman sa Pilipinas.

    Don’t worry folks, Gluerilla made it to the World’s wacky Weird News department for these horrible appointments. The International community is indeed watching.

    Another head of state who made the list was Bolivian President Evo Morales. During a speech on climate change, for some reason his nutty head told his subjects “chicken producers inject birds with female hormones and when “MEN” eat those fowls, their sexual orientation changes”.

Kasi, kung hindi niya ginawa ‘yun, ibabando ko sa buong Philippines and around da werld na may tibak ang kamay niyang naglalabasan ang ugat at sobrang baho ng kanyang mga paa.

    Kapag pino-foot massage ko nga siya walang magawa kahit ilang galong deodorizer ang maubos para bumango ang paa niya. At alam n’yo ba kung bakit? Nadiskubre kong tadtad ng alipunga ang mga singit ng daliri ng paa niya

    Regalo ito ni Gloring sa kanyang manicurista kasi bukod kay madam topak, pini-pedicure naman ni Carpon si primera esposo (FG) sa kanyang tig-dalawang kuko sa bawat paa nito.

    Pero kung susuweldo si Carpon ng P130,000.00 kada buwan, di hamak na mas malaki ang suweldo niya kay tililing#2. Wala kayang pursiyento si goya sa suweldo ni Carpon ?

    At ito namang hardinero na si Armando Macapagal, dahil pinatulan niya ang posisiyon na bigay ng isang sira-ulo, ergo, minsan pang napatunayan na pamilya sila ng mga sira-ulo.

    The government of the Philippines has now reached the abyss of mediocrity, such that it is now seen as a tourist attraction for a carnival of freaks and the insane in government service.

    Ay talaga namang ungguyan na ang nangyayari dine sa administrasyong ire, eh.

    Aba’y kasasarap pag-aaldebiseyn.

    Hindi sa pangmamaliit sa tao pero nakakapagtaka naman ata ang appointment ni Gloring.

    Ano ba talaga ang qualifications ng isang board member? Dumadaan ba sa CA ang mga ganyang appointments or turo-turo lang si Gloring kung sino ang gusto nyang i-appoint?

    Paano na si Lupita Cashiwara? Siya ang director ni Gloria sa Malacanang. Still remember the “Hello Garci” drama on nationwide TV?

    Naku, Joe, ulyanin na si Lola Charing. Ayaw ko sanang patulan pero namimihasa e. Ang logic niya ay dahil sa mga government employes ang manikurista at hardinero ni unana ay kwalipikado ng maging sekyutibs.

    Ang talino at galing (naku ha) ng humihingang human beings ay may LEVEL. Kung baga, ang napag-aralan nila ay nail at yard engineering na hindi tungkol sa pagpapatakbo ng korporasyon. Si Manny Pangilinan naman ay walang alam sa pagmamanikyur pero baka meron konting alam sa pagtapyas ng roses. hehehe.

    Ibalik kindergarten kaya natin itong si Lola, baka bumalik ng konti ang kasiglahan ng isip.

    Ang mga pinaggagawa ni Arroyo ay sinyales na tinatakasan na siya ng katinuan ng pag-iisip. Si Charito Planas naman ay sinyales ng pagiging ulyanin.

    Kaya panawagan ko sa aking mga kabalen sa pangalawang distrito ng Panpanga. Huwag kayong pauuto kay Arroyo demonyita, huwag na huwag ninyo siyang iboboto. Huwag kayong pakasangkapan sa kanyang kawalanghiyaan.

    Huwag kalilimutan na iboto si among Ed Panlilio. Para matapos na ang pagrereyna ni Lilia Pineda alyas huweteng icon ng Central Luzon na kumare ni Arroyo dorobo.

  86. Alam mo chi, yan ang hidden logic na pabor kay Villaroyo.

    Kahit mahirap lang sila may karapatang maging executive.

    Kagaya nung batang dating naliligo sa dagat ng basura, pwede rin silang maging presidente.

    O di ba?
