A friend asked me to inform residents of Quezon City, district I that Comelec has made its final decision: Vivienne Tan is qualified to run for a seat in the House of Representatives. Here’s his report:
All seven commissioners concurred that “Vivienne Tan possesses all the qualifications and none of the disqualifications as candidate for Member of the House of Representative for the First District of Quezon City.”
In a statement to media, Tan, daughter of taipan Lucio Tan, thanked the Comelec for “upholding the spirit of the law.”
“Mr. Crisologo knows that his appeal to disqualify me as a candidate has no legal basis. But he relentlessly filed appeal after appeal, using this to spread rumors of my disqualification and discourage voters from choosing me to be their representative,” Tan said.
The lawyers of Tan, meanwhile, said the order of Court of Appeals to delist Vivienne Tan as a qualified voter in District 1, Quezon is null and void and without legal force and effect.
Arno Sanidad, chief legal counsel for Tan, invokes the Rules of Court saying, “the jurisdiction over petitions for certiorari of decisions of the Metropolitan Trial Court and the Regional Trial Court is lodged exclusively with the Commission on Elections, and not the Court of Appeals.”
The lawyers said Crislogo’s petition for certiorari “should have merited an outright dismissal” because the Court of Appeals has no jurisdiction over elections matters which is lodged exclusively to the Comelec.
“Vivienne Tan, therefore, remains to be a voter and candidate for the House of Representatives,” the lawyers said.
Wala na sigurong magawa bilang anak ni Lucio Tan ang babeng ito kaya gustong makigulo sa Tongress.
susunod nyan tatakbo na din pagka presidente yan…
upholding the spirit of the dollar …….
Dingdong dingdong ang dibdib ni Bingbong dito kay Vivienne Tan, anak ni KapiTan Lucio. Para sa akin, awat na muna si Bingbong. Iba naman. Nagpa lundag lundag na rin itong si Bingbong, palipat lipat ng bakuran. Noong una, kasama sa impeachment vs GMA pero nitong huli, kumampi na kay GMA at huling huli, kaalakbay na rin pagbiyahe sa abroad ng kanyang mahal na panggulo.
RE: Nagpa lundag lundag na rin itong si Bingbong, palipat lipat ng bakuran?
Ito ang tipikal na balimbing at hunyango Igan Joeseg…HAY, naku ang dami niyan sa ating lipunan, e ka nga professional TRAPO/TRADPOL?
Kung mayroon professional squatters…e syiempre ganoon din sa mundo ng Noypi politics. Survival ang laban ngayon…pakapalan ng APOG, kahit na isinusuka na ng bayan e nangakangisi pa at halos magsilabas ang gilagid.
Paano titino ang ating bansa at magkakaroon ng moral ascendancy ang Noypi kung ganyan ang kalakaran sa ating lipunan.
Walang magandang ehemplo kundi pahirap sa bayan…!
About Vivienne…OKS lang, may karapatan siya bilang Noypi na maglingkod-bayan…new breed yan kaya give her a chance to serve our fellows Noypi.
Demokrasya mga Igan…WALANG PROBLEMA basta magpakatotoo siya sa kanyang sarili at di mapabilang sa mga young tradpols na ke babata pa e sinungaling at kurap na?
Kailangan mabago ang mundo ng pamumulitaka sa ating bansa…dapat ang kabataang lingkod-bayan ang kailangan ng ating lipunan.
GO, GO, Gooooo…. Vivienne! Sa susunod takbo ka ng Senado IBOBOTO kita, why NOT?
OK ang aura ng kanyang face…at NAWA maging mabuti siyang Congresswoman!
Mabuhay ka…Ms. Vivienne!
Yap tama na Bingbong, palagi ka sa labas kasama ng mga alagad ni GMA. Oposisyon kuno.
Vivienne is an educator and established a management school called Entrepreneur School of Asia and her Dad had been very active helping many kids get exposure sa business early on. Actually dalawang pamangkin ko ang nakibang sa mga scholarship ni Lucio Tan. Napadala sa China all expenses paid para mag-aral mga high school students pa lang sila…so for me, why not probably she mean well. Really hope so considering her background. Kesa naman sa mg subok nang walang nagawa para sa bayan…pero di ako botante sa Quezon City..sayang!
If there is one or two barangays in her district being torched or already torced down; we know who to point our fingers to, hehe…..
Arno Sanidad is her legal counsel and petitioneer is a Crisologo; you really would think this scenario is up in the Ilocos Region.
Tru blue, the common thread is tobacco.
‘yang si crisologo, ‘di sumama sa pro-impeachment bloc. kungdi absent, abstain. ‘di daw puedeng ma-impeach ang hindi naman presidente.
sumama kay gloria sa “dinner” trip sa u.s. tapos ngayon na kay villar na siya.
sana matalo.

Chi, re #1, mas okay naman siguro si Vivienne kaysa kay Bingbong Crisologo.
Okay kang if she uses her lack of anything to do to share her expertise and resources with the people of Quezon City.
Vivienne Tan’s candidacy… a new face of the decade.
Huwag kayong masyadong eksayted sa balitang ‘yan.
Meron ding ilang tanong na dapat masagot, eh.
1. Is Lucio Tan not aso-ciated with the bitch?
2. Hindi kaya isa sa mga contributors sa PaLaKa campign fund itong si KapiTan Lucio (as joeseg calls him)?
3. Hindi kaya Vivien’s candidacy is for the purpose of protecting her family’s business interests?

Ang gusto kong maging congressman ay tulad nina:
James Layug, 2nd district of Taguig

Basta sabi ninyo Ok si Viviene Tan, may cara pa. Don’t go Nikki Coseteng way lang ha? Na-trauma na ako sa mga gandang ganyan, traumatic din naman ang kasingpangit ni Gloria. 🙂
MPRivera: Hindi kaya Vivien’s candidacy is for the purpose of protecting her family’s business interests?
Anofe? Hindi na interesting yan, Igan. Siempre personal interests, family interests, family business interests, what’s new?
Manay Chi, huwag nang tumaas ang high blood mo. Alamin nating may inaalagaan ding personal interest si Mikey Arroyo, bukod sa family interests, family business interests here and ABROAD. All aboard!
“Tru blue, the common thread is tobacco.” – Ellen
Pero nakapagtataka na binitiwan na ni Kapitan ang control sa Fortune Tobacco kapalit ng shares sa Philip Morris. Wala yatang tiwala sa mga anak niya na magpatakbo ng negosyo. O pagod na ang matanda (sa negosyo, hindi sa babae, hehehe). Kaya itong anak na babae, imbes na negosyo, politika ang inaasikaso.
Marunong din itong si Vivienne, walang partidong sinamahan, independent. Bakit pa nga naman, di naman niya kailangan ang pondo o makinarya ng kahit sinong partido. Kung pera-pera lang, lamang siya.
Siguro naman, kesa suportahan ni Kapitan si Escudero sa 2016, dito na niya gagastusin sa anak niya muna. Malabo na yatang makakuha si Escudero ng sponsor, ayaw na sa kanya ni Danding, tinabla pa ni Lucio, may atraso pa siya ngayon kay Erap, saan siya pupunta?
Chi re#24. Dante said despite approval of AFP Chief of Staff Delfin Bangit of his pass to go home to Kalinga to vote, his custodians would not allow him to leave his detention quarters. Ang dami raw excuses.
“Hindi kaya Vivien’s candidacy is for the purpose of protecting her family’s business interests?” -MPR
Sa akin lang, hindi na kailangan ang candidacy ni Vivienne Tan para lang protekthan ang kanilang negosyo. The Tan’s family’s conglomerates has proven that they can survive and progress without any politician in the family. Di ba sa isang maliit na department store lang sa Carriedo yan nagsimula. Dapat pa nga nating maging ehemplo si KapiTan sa pagpapa-unlad sa negosyo. And besides ang daming trabahong naibigay sa mamamayang Pinoy. At binibigyang pagkakataon ang mga maliliit na enterpreneurs na mag-supply ng kanilang produkto. To Vivienne, may you be a good politician. Siguro naman di mo na kailangang mangurakot.
Chi, okay naman para sa akin si Nikky Coseteng. Alam ko na galit ka kay GMA pero wag naman sana dahil sa itsura nya.
Isipin na lang natin na nagbabalot na dapat ang pamilya Macapagal-Arroyo para sa kanilang impending departure from Malacañang and power. Yehey!
Lurker, marami akong alam nung congresswoman sya, nandyan kami sa kanyang distrito nun.
“Malabo na yatang makakuha si Escudero ng sponsor, ayaw na sa kanya ni Danding, tinabla pa ni Lucio, may atraso pa siya ngayon kay Erap, saan siya pupunta?”-Tongue
Tongue,
Ang aga kasing namulitika ni Chiz Escudero. Hindi muna nanimbang at pinag-aralan ang mga kilos. Sa 2016 baka mahirapan lalo siya dahil magsusulputan na ang mga young politicians. Tagisan na ng galing at talino.

RE: To Vivienne, may you be a good politician.
Well, Igan Luzvi…susubaybayan natin ang political career ni Ms. Vivienne, likes ko ang aura ng kanyang face although di ko pa siya nakikita ng personal.
Nawa e maging mabuti siyang lingkod-bayan…at magpakatotoo sa kanyang sarili na maging makabayan at maka-Noypi!
Lucio Tan has always managed to strike favorable deals in the past administrations even though he’s been hounded no end taxation. Rumor is that Noynoy refused his offer for campaign assistance (maybe he knows something we don’t) and Philip Morris has been knocking on their doors for quite some time, the offer was good, so he took it. The Philippines consumes around 90 billion sticks of cigarettes per year, 60% of that is from Fortune Tobacco while PM supplies 30%, the rest is shared by smaller players ie La Suerte, Mighty Corporation, etc…PM has taken over the management. So the once old, manual, fortress like compound is now abuzz with so many changes (SAP, etc). The management team is composed of Malaysians, Filipinos, etc. that it looks like a ASEAN during meetings…
…Lucio Tan may be chuckling to himself, whatever happens, lets see them go after PM, they’ll have the US embassy to contend with…
Jug:Rumor is that Noynoy refused his offer for campaign assistance…
Jug, that’s the rumor.
Bago ko malimutan, Happy Mother’s Day sa lahat ng mga nanay (at pati na yung mga hindi nanay) dito sa blog.
Unang-una na sa nanay nating lahat dito, kay Nanay Ellen (hehe, joke!) Chi (Nanay, Honoris Causa) at sa mga tunay na inang sina AnnaDeBrux, rose (mama rose?), Yuko (Wer r u na? d2 pa me!), Luzviminda, Gabriela, purple (M.I.A. din), parasabayan (naka-leave), myrna, martina, asiandelight.
Dun sa mga nakalimutan ko, sorry, Happy Mother’s Day na rin.
Huwag kayong magalit at mag-reply ng “Tongue, ina ako!”
So what is the fact? He accepted it?
jug, I was once in Fortune’s Parang, Marikina plant with some of my technicians to install substation switchgear and the sign that greeted us was “Thank you for Smoking”.

I don’t know…but I’ve heard from some people that he’s irritated some “shady” businessmen (big time smugglers, etc.) because he’s so “maarte” of course referring again to “not accepting” their offers. Whether these are true or not, I trust these sources with millions bound nothing but a handshake…

No donor (especially the experienced in the business) puts condition when they contribute for one’s campaign. They do it with finesse.
Oo nga, Tan’s plants upgrade are good biz prospects. Sayang, I’m no longer active. Mad maganda ngayon, after PM takeover, mabubuwag na yung sindikato sa Purchasing.
I was just told this was the real purpose of the stock swaps – to get rid of the top-heavy organization. And that he will redeem it sometime in the future.

Of course, Noynoy’s camp will still be in the safe zone if they just deal with legitimate businesses with a guarantee of a “level playing field.” Sounds okay with me, so Noynoy is not as naive as we think. 🙂

Sinabi mo pa Tongue. The PM guys are more professional, purchasing is headed by an Indian-Malaysian, I call her Dragon Lady, with a team of young asians, two of which who are occupying vital positions are Filipinos.

Oo naman. It is demeaning to the recipient if the delivery of the message is rather straightforward especially when money is exchanged for favors. Believe me, it is best left to the experts. Mahihiya ang mga novelists sa lalim ng talinhaga (metaphor) sa ganitong usapan. Kahit pa pusakal na corrupt yung kausap mo, baka tanggihan ka pa kung kulang ka sa pino.
Pero sa ganitong level ng transaksiyon, di na kailangan ang usapan, pag dumating ang sobre/tseke understood na yun. Pag tinanggap mo, understood na rin.
Itanong pa ninyo kay Erap at kay JAZA.
Aha! Thanks, Ellen… it worked! Hah!
Btw, No donor (especially the experienced in the business) puts condition when they contribute for one’s campaign. They do it with finesse. — That’s very very true!
Btw, Ellen, Tongue, isn’t this the same Vivienne Tan who’s connected with the Philippine Stock Exchange?
Not so sure, but there have been a bit of rumour re ethics in that outfit involving a Tan…
No Anne, you must be referring to Yuchengco.
Tongue, have you noticed the dilutions of Lucio Tan’s businesses lately, Fortune Tobacco with PM, there are also some real estate ventures with Ayala, they also outsourced the catering group of PAL, I won’t be surprised if PAL will be up for grabs, even PNB?
Why would his daughter want to be a congresswoman when they have a massive empire?

Tongue, salamat sa pagbati! LOve na love ka siguro ng Mother mo! Happy Mother’s Day sa Pinakamamahal kong Nanay Lina! At HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY sa lahat ng mga mothers and mothers to be!
Perhaps she really wants to reach out to the people of her district by representing them in Congress and so decided to run. If that’s her personal decision, then fine. But if it’s to have a direct hand in Congress to serve Daddy’s interests, i.e., legal backstops, etc., that’s another thing.
Oh, didn’t read that…
TonGuE-tWisTeD – May 8, 2010 11:27 pm
Thank you very much Tongue, I’m touched!
No Anne, you must be referring to Yuchengco.
Oh, yep… Tongue, thanks…
Hindi kaya balak nang ‘umalis’ at dalhin na ni Lucio Tan ang kanyang expertise sa China. Developed country na ang China na kanyang tunay na inang bayan. Paano na kaya ang Pinas kung wala na ang mga Taipans na ito?

A “mole” secretly working as a lobbyist for her family’s interests.
They do it with finesse. — Ellen
Except when Guingona was Exec Sec to FVR and the party needed “donors” for JdV in the election of 1998.
There was no goddamn finesse from the future “receiving party” there — Guingona upped the ante by telling another business group: The Australians are prepared to “donate” 100 million dollars (Aussie) for the campaign, etc, what about xxxxx?.
A “mole” secretly working as a lobbyist for her family’s interests. — TruBlue
My suspicion too…a sort of a legal backstopper perhaps?
I’m not too sure that her running is purely for altruistic motive. Doesn’t follow. (I might be maligning the woman, if so, sorry…)

She might be the real deal though…I remember someone mentioned (during some lunch meeting) that Lucio’s children are not showing much interest/active in the family business…
I agree with balweg re Viviene’s aura…it would be nice to see such faces together with Hontiveros, etc., I’m sick and tired of Miriam Santiago’s face and for some reason Pia Cayetano has lost her charm…

Tongue, you nailed it.
There’s a code of silence between a politician and businessman. The act alone of giving and accepting already sealed a transaction. Both parties agreed on a silent and unspecified deal and no need in going to details.
Payback time will come later, in times of need and in times of problems. That’s the time to lay cards on the table.
Politicians can claim whatever they want that contributions are accepted with no strings attached, but maybe they should tell that to the birds and the bees.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers here!
she’s sexy.
Tongue,
pag dumating ang sobre/tseke understood na yun. Pag tinanggap mo, understood na rin.
Or if offers in kind, eg., logistics, use of planes for provincial sorties, are accepted, understood na.
Speaking of provincial sorties. I would like to know if aircraft for Noynoy-Mar’s provincial sorties to, example, Mindanao, are paid for by the Noy-Mar campaign or was offered for free by the aircraft owners?
There’s no such thing as free lunch.
Before I forget, para naman mabawasan ang mga tambay diyan sa Pinas, ‘yung kaibigan kong general manager dine sa Saudi ay nangangailangan ng experienced masons, gypsum board installers, welders, carpenters, heavy equipment operators, mechanics at tile setters.

Nagdisappear yung reply ko kay jug tungkol sa downsizing ng Lucio Tan Group kagabi. Mahaba pa naman.
Ha? I’ll check.
Tongue, sorry I can’t find it. Ano kaya nangyari.
Yes, I remember reading it.
I don’t know if I deleted it accidentally. But I didn’t do any deletion last night or today.
Rather yesterday. Past midnight na pala.
I have to sign off. I have to vote first thing in the morning as I have to cover Villar voting before going to PICC.
Swerte ng mga taga quezon city at may tatakbo sa congress na kagaya ni Ms Viviene Tan…vote wisely..
Let us give new candidates a chance, if their performance is unsatisfactory, let us not vote them again in the next election. Give our country a chance to the new candidates..hooray new candidates, go go go….
