Update on German bank account

Here are two articles on the expose of Rep. Allan Peter Cayetano about a secret bank account in a German Bank which is believed to be belonging to the Arroyos.

The first article is Arroyo, speaking for the first time on the issue, accused Cayetano of peddling lies.

The second article is the column of Lito Banayo in last Saturday’s issue of Malaya.

GMA dares Cayetano:be man enough

By Regina Bengco

PRESIDENT Arroyo yesterday broke her silence on the allegations of Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano (Taguig-Pateros) that her family has a multi-million dollar account in Germany, saying the latter was “shamelessly peddling lies.”

“I can no longer allow my family to be pilloried in this manner by a man who I had thought bears the honor and principle of a respected father and senator of the Republic,” she said in a press conference with her lawyer Romulo Makalintal.

The President said Cayetano has refused to be “man enough to admit his mistake” even if official bank records have shown that he erred.

She said Hypo-und Vereinsbank in Munich has officially cleared her and her spouse Jose Miguel Arroyo.

Palace reporters were furnished copies of the letters dated Aug. 30 from bank general secretary Evi Hollman and compliance officer Dr. Klaus-Michael Ploss to the Arroyo couple.

Hollmann and Ploss wrote that there were no account numbers 87-570-23030-32100-62771571 and 87-570-23030-32100-6271571 under the name of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

In a separate letter to Mr. Arroyo, the bank officials said there were no account numbers 87-570-23030-32100-62771571 and 87-570-23030-32100-6271571 under the name of Mr. Jose Miguel T. Arroyo.

President Arroyo asked Cayetano to stop besmirching her family’s name to advance his political agenda. She said Cayetano “has done a disservice not only to his constituents but to the entire public.”

“I wish to share the indignation of honest, trustworthy and hardworking Filipinos who are smeared and libeled, and whose dignity is assaulted by gossip and intrigue,” she added.

Makalintal said Cayetano’s challenge to the President to sign a waiver that would open her German accounts indicates that he is only “fishing for evidence” since one cannot waive something that does not exist.

He said the President did not mean to intimidate Cayetano.

“She cannot just keep silent about it. Her own honor and integrity is at stake. Siguro naman hindi lang si Mr. Cayetano ang may karapatang magsalita ng walang katotohanan. Kung may karapatan siyang magsalita ng walang katotohanan, mas may karapatan ang Pangulo na magsabi ng isang bagay na may katotohanan,” he said.

On Cayetano’s pronouncement that he will resign if proven wrong, Makalintal said: “I think he should start writing the draft (resignation letter) already.”

Cayetano could not be reached for comment.

Very important foreigners

by Lito Banayo

By their mouths are fish caught.

A few days back, I listened to DZMM’s Anthony Taverna interview the bard of Marilao, Atty. Jesus Santos, the spokesperson of Atty. Jose Miguel T. Arroyo, describe in bulaklaking Tagalog, how they were treated in Munchen, capital das Bayern im Deutschland, by the officers of Hypovereins Bank.

It was a holiday, said Attorney Santos, yet the bank opened its doors to them. They were brought to the boardroom, and after some refreshments, the vice-president gave them a certification that the bank did not have any account in the name of Atty. Jose Miguel T. Arroyo. Nor an account number with 23 digits, one digit more than that which Cayetano alluded to.

And Attorney Santos, likewise a trustee of the government employees’ forced pension system called GSIS, by appointment of her royal majesty La Doña del Primero Caballero, said something else. Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank, with more than 2,000 branches worldwide, serving some four million “private” depositors all over the globe, and with investment assets of more than 110 billion euro, according to Santos, “did not deal in American dollars”.

“Kaya talagang malinaw na kasinungalingan ang mga paratang ni Congressman Cayetano”, Santos thundered, “kasi ang bangkong ito ay hindi pala tumatanggap ng dolyar, pulos euro lamang”. Not even deutschemarks, Herr Santos? Nor francs Suisse, never mind francs Francaise, which the Bavarians probably despise? Or Austrian schillings? What global bank in this day and age deals with einzig euro, nie dollars? Why, Dubya would froth in the mouth and all the charms of Angela Merkel could not possibly appease the insult to the American currency by this hypo whatever bank!

So aghast was Taverna, who exclaimed, “Hesus-maryosep Ka Indo! Maski po yung aming rural bank sa San Antonio, Nueva Ecija e tumatanggap ng dolyar.”

But what causes eyebrows to really rise up a few inches was how the second biggest bank in Germany would open its doors wide, and treat such foreign visitor with wide open arms, on a holiday at that, to certify that they did not know him at all. Yes, indeed, for that is what their certification meant: They did not know him.

Try going to HSBC or Citibank, or even the First Gentleman’s favorite Union Bank, and ask them to give you a certification that you did not bank with them. Unless you have a court order, or a letter from higher authorities such as the Central Bank, or the Monetary Board, or Congress, would the bank pay you any heed? E wala ka palang deposito rito, anong pakialam namin sa iyo?

But not apparently these “very important foreigners”, Arroyo, con Santos y Makalintal. Were they perhaps accompanied by the Philippine excellency, Delia Domingo Albert? Did she travel from Bonn with a letter from the presiding officer of the Bundestag, or the Federal Reserve, or perhaps, a personal request from the chairman of Fraport im Frankfurt, that airport authority which the Philippine government “swindled” of its investments in a world-class air terminal turned white elephant? Such humongous company can certainly open doors beyond Lutheran Hesse and into Ratzinger’s Bayern. Or maybe the very important foreigners were introduced by some Austrian branch?

I recall that when that other “hated” legislator, Ping Lacson, discovered the secrets of Jose Pidal, the Bank of Philippine Islands upon Perea in Makati certified that they did not have an account in the name of Jose Pidal. Not anymore, they said. As of the date when Joker Arroyo’s blue ribbon committee secretary wrote BPI, no such account existed.

In any case, young Allan Peter Cayetano has been charged before the City Prosecutor’s office of Quezon City, by the same lawyer, a certain Attorney Rondain, who handles the libel cases filed against me in the City of Manila by the same mega-rich client. And just as the then chief of the WPD, Pedro Bulaong, would escort Rondain and his client when my case is heard, the chief of the Central Police District, Nicasio Radovan Jr., dutifully escorted Senor Arroyo y su abogado, de campanilla based on his fees.

Welcome to the club, Allan! Jake Macasaet and I and a dozen others, perhaps more, happily embrace your company. In God’s own time, in the fullness of His grace, we await the dawn of truth and the full light of justice in land so benighted.

The archbishop of Lingayen-Dagupan, Oscar Cruz, is right. Who could believe the Doña when she calls for reconciliation? “She is not known for keeping her word, so why will I hold on to her words?”, reasoned the erudite archbishop.

On December 2002, she declared that she would not run for election, in order to put an end to the “never-ending divisiveness” of which she admitted she was a part of. Less than eight months later, she welched. Sin palabra.

On June 27, 2005, after the nation had been wracked by the details of her conversations with Virgilio Garcillano, the electoral magician of Balungao and Baungon, she said “I am sorry” for a “lapse in judgment”. But when pressed for details that would ferret out the truth, she bribes Congress, she insults the Senate, she orders the manhandling of protestors by way of calibrated pre-emptive response, and she gags the entire bureaucracy through EO 464 and now Memorandum Order 108. Sin honor.

And now, because she fears a horrified and enraged people will exact vengeance at the polls come May of 2007, she unleashes her “legion” to cha-cha and change the system so as to abolish the polls. Sin palabra, sin honor, sin verguenza.

  1. Anna is encountering difficulty posting comments. She emailed the following comments:

    Re Manuel Buencamino’s comment at Uniffors’ blog:”The amazing thing which Lito Banayo of Malaya wrote about is the bank opened its doors to Mike Arroyo on a holiday. Is opening a bank on holidays for certain people normal in Germany? What would cause a bank to open on a holiday? Why couldn’t they tell Arroyo to wait until the holiday?”

    One of two things:

    1. Santos might have been mistaken as to operating hours, days of the bank: that perhaps, Saturday is part of the Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank official banking business days (possible because some European banks operate on a Saturday and are closed on Monday)

    2. the German government “begged” the bank authorities to extend all assistance, help, courtesy or whatever to the so-called First gentleman of the Philippines for a senior official of the bank to put the red-carpet for the visiting indignitary, este, dignitary pala!

    Just the same, the so-called certification could not have been issued, unless:

    1. a big, enormous client (I mean REALLY BIG) of the bank requested the bank to assist Arroyo to help clarify matters; in this case, I suspect a client bank from the Philippines with an account with Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank requested the Garmans to receive Arroyo

    2. one of the members of Mike Arroyo, family or friends, who legally owns the correct account number (or the erroneous one) with the said German bank sent a letter of instruction (by fax or whatever) to the German bank to issue a certification stating that a MIKE ARROYO is not the owner of the real or legal owner of bank account in question; just the same, the said private client must be BIG enough to warrant such red-carpet, Saturday, courtesy of one of the bank officials.

    This points to some kind of proof: Mike Arroyo has connections with the bank in Germany through a surrogate holder, a dummy, a friend, a member of the family, etc.

    Btw, is Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank also the transit bank or clearing bank for BPI in Europe? Find the Philippine bank that uses Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank for transit or clearing in Europe and perhaps, we will find who Mike’s “dummy” is…

    Also, I was wondering if there is truth to news reports that Mike Arroyo submitted a fake, este erroneous bank account number to the Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank. If that’s the case, it is easy for the German bank to say that they have no record of such an account in the name of Jose Mike Pidal Arroyo. They are technically not breaching any banking secrecy rules.

    Anyway, even if for the sake of argument, the real bank account number (attributed to Mike Arroyo) surfaces and is found to contain ZERO Euro, it still doesn’t mean that the account does not contain funds, ill-gotten, laundered or whatever.

    How? Simple, the owner of the account may simply have stashed the funds away in one or several of the bank safes of the bank itself that he/she rents for the purpose. The bank can NOT know (and rightly so) if money, Euros or US dollars for that matter, are hidden in the safe.

    For info, bank safes in Europe come in different sizes. Also, a client can technically open as many bank safes as he/she wants and could easily stash away as much money or as many documents as he wants in one or all of them without anybody in the bank knowing their contents.

    Bonne chasse! (Good hunting!)

    The above update must now be relayed to Alan Cayetano and others from the opposition so that this matter be monitored. Let’s not allow these crooks in the Palace to get away this time. Enough is enough!

  3. norpil norpil

    this looks more and more like a chess game. it seems to me we are already on the end game. somebody may soon give up.otherwise a check mate seems inevitable.

  4. norpil norpil

    comment on gma’s dare to cayetano: it should have been better if they gave the name to which the account nos are associated.probably they could not without associating others in the family.i still think the end game is on though the queen is now very active.

  5. Toney Cuevas Toney Cuevas

    Who would you believe the Arroyos without the credibility and known liars or Repr. Allan Peter Cayetano? How many times Gloria were caught lying in comparison to Repr. Cayetano? And who’s illegitimate, fake , bogus, et al. Repr. Cayetano is more believable than the Arroyos, as we all know and if I’m Allan in which I’m not, I would open the evidence boxes. Gloria without the doubt would and so why not. Two can play the same game. Open the boxes and lets see where the $500,000,000 are hidden away. If Repr. Cayetano are willing to resign if he was caught lying, would Gloria give up the power she stole twice if proven they own the accounts in the German Bank? Dare you! Dare you!

    Repr. Allan Peter Cayetano, watch your back. There are those would do it for less. Don’t trust that you’re safe, you ain’t, Gloria still hold the key.

  6. luzviminda luzviminda

    Why is it that the Arroyos are afraid to sign a waiver? If anyone of the Arroyos does not have an account at HypoundVereins Bank, the signed waiver means nothing and the bank will just ignore the waiver. But if there is an account, then the bank will have to give information on the account mentioned in the waiver. KUNG TAKOT AT AYAW PIMIRMA, THEN, MAYROON NGANG ACCOUNT! AT NANDUN MALAMANG ANG ISA LAMANG PARTE NG MGA NINAKAW NG MGA ARROYO SA KABAN NG BAYAN, NA SILA ANG NAGPAPASASA SAMANTALANG NAGHIHIRAP ANG KARAMIHAN NG MGA PILIPINO!!!

    Gloria: “I can no longer allow my family to be pilloried in this manner by a man who I had thought bears the honor and principle of a respected father and senator of the Republic,”

    HONOR AND PRINCIPLE?? Look who’s talking!

  8. alitaptap alitaptap

    Gloria: Cayetano has refused to be “man enough …

    Gloria … a woman scorned?

  9. Alitaptap:

    Not scorned, just bluffing. This woman is great at that. And just because she was able to say “I’m sorry” and got away with it, she is challenging Cayetano to do the same but unlike her, she definitely is not going to give Cayetano a chance to skip to the USA and hide even in a detention facility ala-Bolate. Wise, eh? Not wise, just cunning and shrewd like the Adversary!

    If they were able to find the so-called “Marcos’ loots” in European banks, I don’t believe that they cannot find the monies stashed by the crooks in foreign banks everywhere they are allowed to sans the restrictions being imposed now everywhere on non-resident depositors if they want to unless they have told a pack of lies on the Marcos accounts that were in fact no secret at all because almost everybody who could afford it had bank accounts overseas! The point is whether or not the account is filled with currencies stolen from the national treasury.

    Ang nakakainis, nanggagago pa. Don’t believe their lies that one cannot open an account in various foreign currencies. Komo may restriction sa Pilipinas hanggang ngayon (The limit of is 500 dollars, remember?), gagaguhin pa ang lahat na kapareho daw ang palakad sa ibang bansa sa Pilipinas! Palusot pa ang mga tarantado na hindi daw sila makaka-open ng account because they do not have Euros! Stupid!

    You bet, the Ale Boba does not have the moral ascendancy to be talking of honor and principle. Siya, meron ba siya niyan?

  10. myrna myrna

    di ba dapat, sabihin din ni Gloria iyan sa asawa niya: BE MAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT ALL YOUR RENDEZVOUS WITH VICKY TOH!

    pareho rin ng pagsabi ni Mike Pidal kay Cayetano na magresign. bakit kasi sa ibang tao nila sinasabi iyan, eh naghahanap pa sila ng iba….all they have to do is look at each other and tell each other that! instead of “i love you”, eh di yun na lang ang sabihin nila sa isa’t isa.

    mas malapit pa sa katotohanan. o di ba??

  11. Anna can log in but can’t post comments. She is posting this comment as a thread to alitaptap’s:

    Gloria is panicking… she’s, stepping up the drumbeat even it means invoking the dead.

    Pathetic! She ought to be lapidated, and yeah, pilloried under the weight of her lies, her cheatings and her stealings.

    As Susan Roces said, Gloria stole the presidency NOT JUST ONCE BUT TWICE… for a moral dwarf, she has no compunctions about using anything to make her look taller in the eyes of the world.

    Absolutely PATHETIC!

    “She said Hypo-und Vereinsbank in Munich has officially cleared her and her spouse Jose Miguel Arroyo.”

    o, sabi niya pa yan. sila ni jose miguel arroyo DAW, cleared ng bangko.

    Eh si Iggy at si Mikey, o kahit na si Luli at yung isa, sino ba yun, si Datu ba yun?

    gusto ko pang isali pangalan ng mga apo nila at pati mga manugang. boyfriend ni luli???? bakit, meron ba? hahhahah

    sige nga, pati kaya yung mga yaya ng mga bata?

    aber, magsalita ng siya ng totoo!!!!

  13. This issue really touched a sensitive chord with the Arroyos for GMA to break her silence. The possibilities are I think:
    1. GMA is so sure they can’t be cornered with this issue, maybe because there really is no account in their name(s), or they already moved the money. Whatever reason it is, she is so sure it can’t be proven.
    2. GMA (and her camp) thinks that this issue can possibly hurt her admin that she has to come out.
    3. Cayetano has been succesfull to smoke her out, and this is the beginning of GMA’s end as norpil mentioned at #3.

  14. Chances are the money has been moved….
    Games People Play….Magaling sa ganyan si master planner si esposo demonyo.

    Hindi lang sa Germany yan. Teka, saan ba laging may trysts sina taba at si E or Vicky? Follow that trail!
    Nanduon ang “ilan” sa kanilang itinatago….

    Sa Pinas, mga “alias” amng gamit ng mga yan….
    Just look at Jose Pidal account! BTW, Bawal yung alias diba?
    Bakit nakalusot si ignacio? Ha! Naging TONGressman pa!

  15. Between the macapal-arroyos and Cong. Cayetano, I’d go for Cayetano anytime….

    Gloria and her esposo dorobo have zero credibility.
    Zero as in nil ,nada, nashi, none, wala!!!!

  16. npongco npongco

    Don’t forget that Big Mike is a lawyer. Even if he’s a lousy lawyer, he has some legal knowledge. With his connection in and out of the Philippines, he can do anything. What’s needed is for some brave soul to pin him down. And this person could be Alan Cayetano. There should be no turning back. More than ever, he needs all our support very badly. Not only moral and physical support; but prayer as well.

  17. The reliable info I got is that the bank account is not in name of the Arroyos. Siempre naman.

    Just like the $2 million that was traced to the account of the brother of Nani perez. Of course, it’s not in their name.

    Are the Marcoses’ billions in their name? I doubt it. Yung Araneta, di ba ginawang “Ereneta” or something like that.

  19. Kahit noong panahon ni Marcos ganoon din, tama si Ellen. Di ba ang isa sa mga nakuha sa Malacanang ay parang practice signature ni FM para sa kanyang bagong pangalan? Kaya siguradong wala sa kanilang pangalan. Regarding the account number, sabi ng bangko walang ganoong account. (Sabi ni John Marzan iba daw ang account number na sinabi ni Cayetano, iba ang nasa certification ng Bangko).

    Meron kayang bombshell si Cayetano? If he had the account number, he should have the account name too. Kung wala nang hawak si Cayetano na impormasyon, what is next?

  20. Jon Mariano:

    The practice signature was not even by FM. It was someone I guess designated to try to sign on behalf of FM who was almost blind in fact at the end of his term.

    As I have stated in previous post, my mother is related to the Apo by blood through his father’s line. We went to Hawaii in fact a few months after they were transported there, and felt sorry for the man, who was practically blind and could not see. He was frail and looked a sorry sight. My mother cried for him.

    As for the accounts in Germany, most likely they have used a resident in Germany to open those accounts for them, or someone in the German embassy, etc. was conniving to allow their person designate to establish residence in Germany to be able to open an account there for monies received even through various charities for calamities in the Philippines, and yes, the off the record commissions for concessions given to the German.

    I have actually heard of such thing being done in Japan that my friends in the Japanese media are now trying to uncover especially in real estate deals.

    As for the bragging about the banks being opened to Fatso even on holidays, what’s noble about it? They have been doing that everywhere especially when they are accompanied by people in the Philippine embassy and consulate there. Over here for example, I am told of special requests for department stores these Philippine dignitaries would want to visit to shop for example, and they are opened as part of the courtesy.

    Sobra naman ang bigay ng importansiya sa mga sarili ng mga wannabe criminal na ito. Breaking the laws of other countries pa ang labas! Hindi na nahiya!

    Siyempre malakas ang loob kasi alam niyang wala sa pangalan niya. Kaya bakit siya nagpa-panic kung hindi guilty! Libel suit my ass! Baka mapahiya si Fatso!

    Arya Alan! The majority of the Filipino people are behind you. Ipakilala mong lalaki ka! Dapat lang! Versus sa mga babaero kuno pero sa totoo lang bading pala! 😛 Mga magnanakawa lang!

  21. npongco npongco

    Marcos could have become blind due to his kidney problem. I don’t understand why people still try to compare Marcos to this Gloria. Marcos is history. And history will be kinder to Marcos. If you say Imelda faked his signature, I would easily believe it.

  22. First hand information like that from ystakei is believable. What I know (and many others) are based on news I remember reading during those times.

    Regarding salting money overseas, it’s just a worst case of stupidity of you store your stolen money where it is easily traceable. Although sometimes it happens due to hubris, and sobrang tiwala sa sarili…

    As mentioned also, if the Arroyos can open a Jose Pidal account in the Philippines, they also could do the same somewhere else. Pero itong pag-release sa media ng mga Arroyo is actually just playing the people who easily believe what they read in the papers (just like I did in the FM signature).

  23. Hollmann and Ploss wrote that there were no account numbers 87-570-23030-32100-62771571 and 87-570-23030-32100-6271571 under the name of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

    In a separate letter to Mr. Arroyo, the bank officials said there were no account numbers 87-570-23030-32100-62771571 and 87-570-23030-32100-6271571 under the name of Mr. Jose Miguel T. Arroyo.

    the bank did not say those bank account numbers did not exist. it says there were no bank account numbers under the name of mike arroyo and GMA.

    like i said before, just sign the waiver pidal, and “do a lacson.”

  24. Hollmann and Ploss wrote that there were no account numbers 87-570-23030-32100-62771571 and 87-570-23030-32100-6271571 under the name of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

  25. Jon:

    Filipinos in general love to brag. Having accounts overseas seem more to brag than for anything else as a matter of fact, except for these people who are fleecing the country dry. I know for instance money remitted to PNB in Tokyo are sent elsewhere (Hong Kong I’m told) where they are rolled into the money market.

    I guess there is no problem in places called free zones and this banks operate there. The Pidals must have used something where they can slip their money to in order (1) make their money grow that I bet was more the intention when Marcos was in power than actually hide them elsewhere since they could not have forseen the force called “EDSA 1” artificial though it was with the US actually directing it; (2) hid loots from the treasury especially in the case of the Pidals with the local banks not really that reliable not to talk when slighted; and (3) just plain and simple vanity (yabang) so the Dona can say they are really rich!!!

    I cannot say necessity for there is no reason why the Pandak and her husband or any of their family members should bank in Europe. Puede pa sa US because of their apartments there especially in Bay Area in CA.

    OK lang magbanko kahit saan basta sarili nilang pera but it is something unthinkable but very questionable when the salary of the president of the Philippines is not even a tenth of the monies being stashed in foreign banks.

    Apparently, the Ale Boba has the habit of owning anything owned by the Philippine government like the monies she borrows overseas and agrees to be kept in foreign banks that eventually may be changed into some personal account as for example the money borrowed from China that cannot even be put in Philippine banks, but kept in China and paid through Chinese banks, etc.

    Come to think of it. I wonder what and how much banker Yuchengco knows about these accounts.

    As for the Fastso getting VIP treatment, it is possible, for over here, I am told of how this guy would use protocol to get permits to do company hopping and try to make monopolies of Japanese business in the Philippines by taking advantage of the visits of the Missy to Japan, official and unofficial.

    Wise? Nope. More cunning and shrewd!

  26. Problem with media in the Philippines is there are not enough crusading journalists like the ones they have in Malaya and Tribune, and the bayaran would not lift a finger to join in the treasure hunt to pin down the crooks. Alternative is to steer the media in Germany to check on this anomaly.

    Too bad, I am not based there. UK pa siguro puede, or Japan where I can easily connive with members of the Japanese press clubs to swarm into these banks providing boxes for the Pidals to hide and keep their loots.

  27. norpil norpil

    i just read in newspapers here today that eu tax esperts made a deal with switzerland and lichstenstein so that they could open secret bank accounts for tax purposes, but they found out that the rich people have moved out money from europe so that now they are trying to strike a deal with hongkong, singapore and probably shanghai which are now the favourite hiding places for those who are trying to evade taxes.

    Ellen,

    I would believe Rep. Cayetano over La Mentirosa (translation: The Liar woman) anytime! To begin with, why can’t El Esposo Gordo y La Mentirosa sign the waiver? It seems they are sssssssscared!!! And for La Mentirosa to say that she can “no longer allow” her family “to be pilloried in this manner…” is a JOKE! She actually believes she’s CREDIBLE?

    A lil’ bird told me that the money is still in Hypo-und Vereinsbank. Just check out on which branch its in AND the name. The amount is too big for them to transfer to another bank (they may get into trouble with some money laundering law).

  30. On yes, forgot to mention, one of the reasons for people with money to want to bank in Switzerland is that it is tax free, and Swiss banks had (notice the past tense) the reputation of not divulging secrets no matter what until the Philippine government demanded for the Marcos money to be divulged and returned to the Philippines regardless of whether they were really their own personal savings being in power for 20 years, and/or loots from the Philippine treasury. Bagay even in the US, walang tax if you can prove that you are a non-resident depositor and you can prove that your deposits are monies earned overseas.

    Still, I would dare say that the squatters of the palace by the murky river are “walang kaparis sa kahayupan”! Talk of honor and principle! Even their benefactors, the gambling lords, shit them at their backs dahil talaga daw na mga ganid! I have actually talked to one who feels threatened all the time. Hindi lang makahirit dahil hawak daw ang mga may baril!

    Gosh, OK mandaya basta na-declare na panalo! Nak ng pucha, may honor and principle daw! Neknek mo, boba! Baba ka na! Maawa ka sa mga kababayan mo walanghiya!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  33. Chabeli is also having difficulty psoting comments. He emailed me this:
    Speaking of another bank account, WHERE IS THE MONEY OF THE MARCOS VICTIMS that was transfered to the PHILIPPINE NATIONAL BANK (or PNB)? Employees of PNB swore to me that the money is gone, as in G-O-N-E!!! The money was withdrawn before the 2004 elections! Knowing LUCIO TAN, a known GLORIA-DIE HARD, his bank will probably issue a certification stating that the funds are intact! After all, these LUCIO-TAN types aren’t really clean when it comes to “business.” Like most Chinese tycoons in the Philippines, it’s always what financial benefits they can get…similar to GLORIA ‘no?

    I’m sure Rep. Alan Cayetano will be acquitted in any libel case. There was no malice on his part. A statement is libelous only if there was malicious intent.

    Mike Arroyo et al are confusing the public. The issue in libel is not the truthfulness of the statement, but the malice behind it. Truth is not a defense in libel, so if Rep. Cayetano acted with malice, he can be convicted of libel (even if there is proof of the German bank accounts).

    All Rep. Cayetano said that Mike Arroyo has substantial amounts of money deposited in a German bank. There’s no malice there.

    PNB owned by Lucio Tan and all other banks owned or controlled by one single individual or corporation or family.

    Only lately that our law allows foreign banks to operate and authorized to take deposits from the public. But still only four major canadian banks are still the major players in the market. And not a single one of them is owned by any individual or controlled by a single corporation or a single family. The Law prohibits more than 10 % ownership of any financial institution by any individual, corporate entity or family. And not a single bank has failed yet, although depositors and customers are protected by deposit insurance backed by the Government. Maybe some thoughts for banking reform as well..

    another development:

    Gloria joins bank fray, blasts solon for ‘lies’

    President Arroyo has joined the bank fray, appearing in a press conference merely to denounce Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano’s allegations her family has hidden hundreds of millions of dollars of illegal wealth in secret German bank accounts.

    As is her wont, after her condemnation, the President refused to take any questions and quickly exited after reading her prepared statement, denying the media the chance to ask her questions on the issue, such as the additional digit that appears in the certification obtained by her spouse.

    But an opposition senator quickly advised the congressman not to apologize as yet, as his claims may be valid, hinting the

    account may not be in Germany, but in a branch of the German bank in a neighboring country, such as Austria.

    Two weeks after surviving her second impeachment attempt, Mrs. Arroyo accused Cayetano of “shamelessly peddling the lie that my family is maintaining a bank account in Munich, Germany, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars”.

    As she spoke, her husband, Jose Miguel “Mike” Arroyo, sat with the press in the audience.

    She repeated what her husband earlier stated: That the HypoVereinsbank has already issued a certification saying her family held no accounts with the bank.

    The bank certification, however, only stated that it was Mr. Arroyo who did not have a bank account—not other members of the family.

    Mrs. Arroyo said she could not allow “my family to be pilloried in this manner” by a congressman coming from a leading political clan.

    “I would like to tell the people of a grave injustice done to my family by Congressman Alan Peter Cayetano. He has shamelessly peddled the lie that my family is maintaining a bank account in Munich, Germany amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. The public has been shown the official bank documents belying his claims, but he insists on beating around the bush rather than face the challenge squarely. He should be man enough to admit his mistake,” she said, reading a prepared statement.

    “I ask him to stop besmirching our family’s name and reputation to advance his own political agenda. He has done a disservice not only to his constituents but to the entire public. I am breaking my silence because I can no longer allow my family to be pilloried in this manner by a man who I had thought to bear the honor and principle of a respected father and Senator of the Republic,” she said.

    “In making this statement today, I wish to share the indignation of honest, trustworthy and hardworking Filipinos who are smeared and libeled, and whose dignity is assaulted by gossip and intrigue,” Mrs. Arroyo added.

    Mrs. Arroyo’s election lawyer, Romulo Macalintal also challenged Cayetano to prepare his resignation letter as member of the Lower House for his failure to prove his allegations against the First Family.

    Opposition Sen. Panfilo Lacson yesterday intimated that the congressman’s charges may just be valid.

    “That’s the irony and contrasting reactions on the two issues. When the Pidal issue came about, the first reaction was that he (Mike Arroyo) said he doesn’t know Pidal only to be confronted with evidence that Pidal was the grandfather of (Mr.) Mike Arroyo.

    “In this (German bank) case, their reaction was very violent and vehemently denial issued, even coupling this with a challenge,” he pointed out.

  39. Mrivera Mrivera

    o, di ba kapal talaga ng mukha? ‘kala mo pagkalinis linis ng mga pagkatao. pwe!!!!

  40. I’d love to see the fat guy squirm in court. Cayetano will surely use the documents in his possession as defense. Now, wouldn’t that be dandy, no need to impeach the pandak as people would surely go out in the streets and kick the moral maggot out of the palace.

    Its’ all about having credibility and the Arroyos surely have none. What Rep.Alan Cayetano have to gain on bringing this about except to expose the liars, cheaters and thieves. I can believe that Rep. Cayetano is holding an ace on his sleeve (I sure hope so) or else he won’t even dare mention it. He’s not that stupid we can sure of that, at least I think so and he’s much aware of others that went to war against the Arroyos. Yes, I believe Rep Cayetano got the smoking gun, and I hope it will come in the open. Cross our fingers.

    If Gloria can support the People’s Initiative on her private Cha-Cha, why can the people of the Philippines do the same? But, this time its the People’s iniative to open the SEVEN BOXES OF EVIDENCE. Lets start the signatures.

    Once I flew on PAL to Manila because of the low cost offer, but I will never take that plane again. I was treated alright by the Stewardesses who offered me a lot of duty-free goods. May commission kasi ang mga kumag, but boy, ang sikip! No space halos if you are flying economy!

    Best pa rin ang JAL and ANA. Masarap pa ang pagkain at malinis! When you have lived in Japan long enough I guess and used to the first-class service, you kind of become meticulous and choosy. I fly to the US only on JAL, ANA and sometimes, NW, and make sure the point of origin is Japan. Iyong galing China ng NW, I hate kasi mabaho at saka mga tsinang stewardess ang sama ng service. Arrogant din kapareho ng mga PAL stewardess.

    I think its time…as a start, I will BOYCOTT COMPANIES THAT SUPPORT GLORIA. I will start by NOT banking with PNB or sending remmittances through that bank, and not flying PAL…if I can’t go to the streets, I certainly can do it this way.

    And although I may be one, and may not even make a dent really, it will give me satisfaction that I am doing my share however small…who knows? Everything starts with a single step

    BOYCOTT:
    1) PAL
    2) PNB

    4) Aboitiz Shipping Lines
    5) To Go (messenger service)

    talking about taxes, in europe, for individuals, there are two types, one is income tax which is very common, then the other is called capital tax. if one has money in the bank, the interest will be taxed. if one has a property, they will assess its value and taxed accordingly.

    I just am wondering why Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) has not taken action on alleged ill-gotten wealth and money laundering activities of the First Family. What proof or evidence they need before they (AMLC) act? Rep. Alan Cayetano has the bank name and account to start with the investigation of alleged dirty money. Is AMLC really an independent body?

    Taipan Lucio Tan is a big supporter of bogus President Gloria Arroyo. We should start boycotting his business empire like the Philippine National Bank (PNB), Allied Bank, Philippine Airlines (PAL), Asia Brewery, Tanduay Holdings and Fortune Tobacco. Self-made billionaire Lucio Tan is the richest man in the Philippines.

  55. Ellen,

    Who knows why the Fatso actually went to Germany? Most probably he wanted to make sure that instructions were followed by their contact in Germany who could have been also a member of the Philippine diplomatic mission like some of these kabalens or negresenses they have been sending off to such posts they could trust to open such accounts for them. I’m told of these things being done not just by this bogus administration but the crooks before this bogus president.

    Apparently, it is the same modus operandi as the Pidal fund that was apparently the Fatso’s account but under the name of his dead ancestor that he was able to open by using some of his names! Iyong pala ang purpose ng mga mahahabang pangalan ng mga alta-sociedad sa Pilipinas! Pampalusot!

    Now, since the bank account is not in his name and he gave the wrong bank account no., it is but logical for he German bank to issue a denial and verification of non-existence of such account. Point is he knew the bank account that Alan said existed, bakit hindi niya ibinigay ang exact no. doon sa mga opisyal ng German bank. Golly, nanggagago pa pati iyong kasamang abogago daw! Hindi ba sila nahihiya niyan! Ipinagmalaki pang namerhuwisyo sila doon na hindi dapat buksan ang bangko nabuksan dahil na rin sa protocol courtesy of the Philippine DFA mission doon.

    Sino bang niloloko ng ungas na ito? Dito nga sa Japan, kasa-kasama pa iyong ex-labor attache when he reportedly went on some company hopping to get concessions and monopoly of Japanese business.

    Sana naman iyong mga pilipino sa Germany, maawa naman sila sa bansa nila and try their best to do what we have tried to do in Japan for the sake of the old country para naman maingat ang image ng bansa. Nakakahiya na kasi na masabi ang Pilipinas na “the country where the presidents are conceived to be robbers and thieves,” o ang mga pilipino na kilala ngayon bilang “mga puta at alila ng mundo” dahil sa pambubugaw ng mga recruiters posing as government officials especially the DoLE. Kakahiya na talaga!

    PNB was was forced to close down shop in Paris.

  60. Chabeli Chabeli

    Really, blogger? Was PNB closed down because of the same reason Ystakei gave about PNB in Japan?

  61. Yes, more or less the same reason.

    I think they were being suspected of being a front for money laundering so they packed up without much ado before the brigade financière made it tough for them.

    Pity because they were doing quite a good job for Pinoys.

    The Philippine Coconut Planters bank closed down a few years ago because the resident manager ran away with the funds. I don’t know if he was caught.

    The PCI has a branch here and is allegedly involved in the much talked about “pyramid scam”, something which forced the Embassy under Ambassador Villarroel then to warn the Pinoy community about in a memo to all Filipinos via the federation of Fil associations.

    “First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo said Taguig-Pateros Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano had been a “very ungrateful man” for attacking the First Family even after seeking financial assistance to fund his campaign in the May 2004 elections.

    According to Arroyo, the Taguig-Pateros lawmaker approached him along with his elder sister Sen. Pia Cayetano begging for additional election funds to pay their poll watchers.

    “Tito (uncle) please, we don’t have anymore money for watchers,” Arroyo quoted them as saying.

    “(So) I gave them (the money) but they said ‘kulang pa yan’ (that’s not enough) Tito, so I even added some more,” he said.

    Arroyo declined to reveal the amount he donated but he said the Cayetanos know the exact amount.

    Arroyo said he could not see the reason why Cayetano has accused the First Family of stashing millions of dollars in a bank in Germany despite the financial assistance he had given to the congressman in the last election.”

    IF INDEED MIKE ARROYO HELPED THE CAYETANOS FINANCIALLY LAST ELECTION, WHAT HAS IT GOT TO DO WITH THE CURRENT COMPLAINT AGAINST MIKE’S ILLEGAL MONEY DEPOSIT IN GERMAN BANK? IS HE SAYING THAT IF ONE IS FREE TO COMMIT CRIMES IF HE HAS HELPED PEOPLE?

  63. Chabeli Chabeli

    Anne de Brux,
    Merci for your reply, it was very interesting. Just curious, was the Philippine Coconut Planters in Paris the one located in Champ Elysee?
    —————————-
    Npongco,
    I agree with you that “IF INDEED MIKE ARRROYO HELPED THE CAYETANOS FINANCIALLY LAST ELECTION, WHAT HAS IT GOT TO DO WITH THE CURRENT COMPLAINT AGAINST MIKE’S ILLEGAL MONEY DEPOSIT IN GERMAN BANK? IS HE SAYING THAT IF ONE IS FREE TO COMMIT CRIMES IF HE HAS HELPED PEOPLE?”

    Look how this IDIOT, Mike Arroyo thinks? It is obvious that he has warped values, not that anyone thought otherwise, really! With the way he has been reacting to the alleged German bank account, GUILT is written all over MIKE ARROYO’s face!

  64. Anna, Chabeli:

    PNB in Tokyo now has a new OIC. The former OIC is now in London, where she was whisked off to after the police ordered the closing down of the PNB operation that is deemed illegal. Next in the line will be the Metrobank and the Landbank because they do not have the permit to engage in normal banking operation in Japan. Not even Citibank has that privilege despite its dealings with local banks.

    Just shows how this bogus government dares other countries with its blatant disregard for the rules of law not just in the Philippines but also in other countries as when it deploys teen-agers to Japan to work as Japayukis (bar and club hostesses cum prostitutes), and Super-Atsays and Atsoys hereon.

    Ang kapal talaga!

  65. The police has actually put all foreign bank deem operating illegally in Japan on surveillance for many years now. Citibank was the first one to be told to close shop. PNB was investigated in full force from September 2005. It was in the newspapers. As for informing the police, why should I? My job is only to interpret. Investigation is done on orders of the police, which had to be careful in investigating PNB because of the impression the crooks were giving that it was a semi-government entity. Now, as long as it is operating as a private corporation, it is not privileged to have any immunity. Thus, the police procedure implemented since the beginning of the police investigation in accordance with the law on criminal procedure sans the possible immunity granted to members of the foreign diplomatic mission. Since it is not a government entity it is treated as any ordinary foreign operation doing illegal operation in Japan. Next to be investigated will be the other banks operating illegally in Japan.

    Puede ba, doon na lang magwala sa Pilipinas? Huwag nang ipaglantakan pa sa ibang bansa?

  66. Ingat kayo sa mga Internet Brigaders. One tactic of these crooks is to spread lies, likewise. Kunyari anti-Arroyo but you will notice that subtlely they spread misinformation aimed at confusing those who are not so updated with the inside facts especially when the Ale Boba orders a news blackout. Fortunately, iyong baho umaalingasaw!

    What I know I write. Otherwise, I don’t pretend that I know. Fortunately, I work for the Japanese media, the police, court, and bar associations, etc. in Japan to be able to know information that are not actually normally all broadcasted out.

    I have also lived in the USA, where my family immigrated, UK where I was given a grant to study and do research, Europe where I travelled during my stint in UK, and Japan where I have lived the longest as a matter of fact aside from the fact that one of my ancestors was Japanese and the saying “Blood is thicker than water” is well manifested.

    I found out likewise in my search for my genealogy that one of my maternal ancestors was from Canton in China, a reason I guess why I love Chinese food that when I go to SFO, I feast on those roasted ducks! I like the Chinese food cooked by the ethnic Chinese from Vietnam who dominate the Chinese stores at Oakland. I am told that most of them are originally or have ancestors who originated also from Canton.

    I have been to Hong Kong twice as a tourist, not enough to say I know much about the place, and to Beijing when it was still so backward that I promised myself never again would I go there!

    Anyway, just beware of these Internet Brigaders of the Ale Boba. I can recognize them because I have encountered them in some other egroups where they are told to spread their lies, and try to suppress die-hard anti-Boba like yours truly. Madali namang mahuli ang mga walanghiya sa totoo lang.

    One trick in fact is to fan anti-Boba sentiments in the group, and then try to make them chicken out by saying that all efforts to remove the crook is useless, and even give the impression that the fight is dead!

    But with Anna, Soleil, Emilio, Schumey, Alitaptap, et al here, mapapanis ang laway nila!!! Banzai!!!

    finland is even further than oslo, but the phil embassy that cover 7 countries like norway, denmark and sweden + the newly emancipated countries from soviet like estland etc, is located in stockholm,sweden.before gma we have a consulate here in oslo, when gma came it disappeared. the present ambassador said it will be replaced by an embassy but until today nothing.i operate a local radio station here in oslo but have sendings only once a week, and this ambassador used to call our radio and sent propaganda on the airwave but since the peace talks with the umbrella organisation of the left was stopped some years ago i have cut the line with the embassy.anyway she is more interested with parties and the likes which is popular with the fil here so that an umbrella organisation was formed around scandinavia but our organisation did not join.as i said before many will be there to kiss gma’s hands but it will be due to innocence, respect to her office, afraid maybe, personal agendas, but i doubt if due to love. this is the most unlovable president we ever had.

    Max Alvarado is dead. I’m more curious about this Paquito Diaz if he’s still alive. His brother Romy already passed away not too long ago.

    Puro kayo haka-haka, puro tsismis, puro intriga. Dyan na lamang ba iikot ang mundo ninyo. High tech na ngayon kaya’t madaling malaman kung may tinatagong bank account ang isang tao. Kaso talagang wala kaya walang mapatunayan itong si Cayetano na sumira sa pangalan ng Erpat niya. Nagpapagamit kayo sa mga letseng oposisyon na yan na walang ibang layunin kundi makapwesto. pati mahihirap pinagsasamantalahan ninyo ginagamit ninyo sa mga rally. Mahirap na nga yung mga tao ini-exploit nyo pa porket alam ninyong kahit pananghalian lang ang bayad ay papayag sa inyong makademonyong adhikain. magbago na kayo ba.
