We Get Raped—Again!

The Filipino people have been taken for fools, and continue to be taken for fools. We must be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, laughingstocks in the world right now.

Daniel Smith has been out of the country since last year. In this age of Photoshop and other such image-editing software which most magazine pulications already consider as basic tools, can we really believe those photographs from last year allegedly showing him holding the current newspaper? Come on!

And now, he is suddenly said to have been shipped out without notifying the Philippine authorities. How convenient that the court has declared him not guilty, no? Now the US Embassy—and the honorable people at our own DFA—can claim that he was taken out, all quite officially, while people were sleeping. Yes, indeed, he was, but the departure was last year . Now, he need never be presented to the Filipino people physically, ever.

The Americans spit in our faces and rape us, and we say,

Thank you, sir. PLEASE COME…AND COME…AGAIN. But in case you really have to go, please know that you don’t have to say goodbye when you go.

Love,
Gloria Walang-gloria

More Questions for Puno-cchio and his disreputable company.

Hey, Punocchio, when the news first broke out about Dela Paz being held in Moscow, you were adamant in claiming that the 105,000 euros was for their expenses, including airfare and hotel rates.

Then, you probably realized that Dela Paz was already on his way home, so the hotel and airplane tickets must already have been paid, so then you later said that the amount in Dela Paz’s possession was probably already less than 105,000 euros.

And THEN it turned out that he still had a full 105,000 euros, so you then labeled the money as “contingency fund”, because our police generals couldn’t go to such an important meeting looking like paupers.

NOW you’re saying that all you signed for was 2.6 million, and you don’t know what the 105,000 euros is for or where it came from.

How shameless can you be? And how stupid do you think your countrymen are, that we would be willng to follow you around as you feed us one version after another???

Liar!!!

Hey, Eliseo, you said that you had the money wired back to a special PNP account because you wanted to be spared further “torture” carrying it home.

How stupid do you think we are???? The news about what happened to you is all over the papers, and you’re supposed to already have in your possession documents which satisfied the Russian authorities. With everybody knowing what happened, and the official documents in your possession, do you really expect to be “tortured” again on your way home regarding the cash you’re carrying? Well, perhaps only stupid policemen like you would still question you even when they already know the news and even after you show them all the official PNP and BSP documents.

What a stupid alibi for trying to keep the money away from the authorities!

And could you please show to the press the details of that special PNP account, to prove that the money was indeed returned to official coffers?

As for you, Versoza, now you claim that the money was actually from the “intelligence” fund, to buy some mysterious equipment.

Really? How stupid do you think the Senators and the Filipinos are???

If it was really an official transaction, why did your man, whose retirement date caught up with him in Moscow, have to carry the funds in cash (IF he indeed carried it into Russia and didn’t procure the euros from inside Russia)? Why couldn’t the transaction be made bank-to-bank, through official documented channels?

And where’s the equipment? Why was Dela Paz carrying the cash back home? No equipment, only cash. LOTS of cash.

And if that money is truly ours, then why are you allowing Moscow to keep it? Why aren’t you raising any protest?

Stupid liars!

Or are you doing all these on purpose, to make your noses grow so long that eventually it will be much easier for you to sniff somebody’s ass?

Why Gloria won’t let go of Hermo

Because, contrary to Ermita’s “Executive Bull“, this loyal lapdog was precisely following “Ma’am’s” instructions.

Why couldn’t she sacrifice him, to show to the public that she was not behind this blatant disregard for the Constitution in her desire to change it and thereby allow her to stay in power?

C’mon, she couldn’t let him go because … er … excuse me…

Yes? Hello, Garci?

Lying Clown

You’ve got to be amazed at the people Gloria Arroyo keeps around her. There are the usual liars, of course, and then there are the clown liars.

Take Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita. When the Supreme Court declared that the Memorandum of Agreement on the Ancestral Domain (MOA-AD) as ““contrary to law and the Constitution”, Ermita said that the ruling was “a reminder for future government negotiators to ‘follow the instructions of the President.’”

The Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) was right to label this Malacañang spin as “Executive Bull“.

As the PDI editorial points out, does Ermita really expect anyone to believe that the MOA-AD was agreed on and almost signed in Malaysia, with ambassadors from different countries present as witnesses, all the while that the details of its terms were not in line with “the instructions of the President”, this President who personally inspects the security arrangements at the NAIA-3 and has a reputation for blowing up and scolding her subordinates in public when things go awry in her public appearances and in her meetings?

Well, it should be expected from him, I guess. After all, this was the same clown who was seen on TV as practically blaming the Malaysians for the MOA-AD debacle, saying something to the effect that the whole thing was blown out of proportion because the Malaysians offered to host it (!).

Questions for the Liars

Still on the Eliseo dela Paz-PNP-Interpol brouhaha, I’ve got some questions:

1) Didn’t anybody at the PNP know that incoming and outgoing passengers at ANY airport are required to declare if they are carrying currencies worth more than $10,000 or є10,000? Heck, we have the same restrictions at our own airports. Do they really expect us to believe that nobody in the eight-man delegation or at the PNP office which prepared the funds knew this?

2) 105,000 euros seems to be a lot of cash to carry around in your luggage. Do they really expect us to believe that this was not detected at the Russian airport upon arrival, but was only detected when they attempted to depart?

3) Do they really expect us to believe that the PNP allowed for a contingency fund of 4,375 euros per day per member of the delegation, for contingencies (see my previous post) ??? Really?

And for the REAL questions:

4) Why was a PNP officer whose retirement day fell within the dates of the Interpol meeting allowed to attend, his retirement day not adjusted but his term allowed to lapse during the meeting, and was tasked with carrying this huge sum of money?

The meeting was supposed to be from Oct 7-10, but his retirement day was October 9.

5) Was he supposed to do something on October 10, when he was no longer officially connected with the PNP?

Did this “something” have something to do with the 105,000-125,000 euros?

6) Did he enter Russia with the money (which was undetected upon his arrival), intending to buy something with it?

7) OR did he enter Russia without the money, and sold something—which was how he got the money—but was detected upon trying to leave?

8 ) If so, what did the Filipino policeman sell (while he was officially NOT a PNP officer anymore)?

9) Why did the payment of such a large amount have to be in cash, instead of through (documented) bank transactions?

Why is he being defended so vigorously by the PNP and DILG, even against suspicions that the money might have been personal, to be used to purchase some property in Europe?

Liars!

Earlier, Philippine National Police spokesman Chief Superintendent Nicano Bartolome had said that Dela Paz was being held in Moscow with about 120,000 euros on him.

But Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Ronaldo Puno said the amount was about 105,000 euros.

Now news reports say that the PNP and the DILG agree that the amount was indeed 105,000 euros.

But, according to this report, Puno maintains, as he had earlier said, that the amount was for the entire trip, not just for contingency funds .

But now, the star in the middle of the controversy, Eliseo dela Paz, former Director for Comptrollership of the PNP, says that the amount was a contingency fund and not, “and not, as Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno said, the whole amount intended for the group’s expenses“.

Right.

That’s usually the problem people have when telling lies, especially when more than one person is involved in the telling—the coordination of the false data.

Now it turns out that the meeting was for only three days, and the official delegation consisted of only eight persons, e.g., the contingency fund was for the “PNP’s eight-man delegation to the Interpol 77th General Assembly, which was held from October 7 to 10 in St. Petersburg“.

105,000 euros for eight people for three days—that’s an allowance of 4,375 euros per day for contingencies! (about 282,972 pesos!)

I’ll bet that not even their fellow delegates from Western countries were given that much allowance—for CONTINGENCIES! Well, one supposed objective must have been met with flying colors by our distinguished lawmen—they definitely didn’t look like paupers.

But everybody’s nose seems to be getting longer and longer every day .

A Bunch of Liars

Like master, like lapdogs.

Does Interior and Local Government Secretary Ronaldo Puno really expect anybody in his right mind to believe him? Does he really expect us to believe that the more than 100,000 euros which former Philippine National Police (PNP) comptroller Eliseo dela Paz was caught taking out of Moscow was meant for the per diems and fares of the eight-man Philippine delegation to an Interpol conference?

Dela Paz was caught with the money on his way home. Does Puno expect us to believe that the delegates and their wives were able to go to Moscow, and were about to go home, without having paid for their plane fares? That the money for the fare, in cold cash,  was still with Dela Paz, who was already going home?

Puno couldn’t even claim that the money was for per diem or payment for the hotel rooms, because, again, Dela Paz was already going home! That would mean not only that the per diems weren’t given out, which would probably not be too surprising even if it were true, but also that the hotel rooms hadn’t been paid for, just as the plane tickets hadn’t been paid for!

Liar!

Puno further claims that 2.3 million pesos of the money was supposed to be for the delegation’s per diems and plane tickets (which were not paid, if the money was still intact). Even assuming that there were actually 23 people in the delegation and not just eight, since the honorable delegates had to bring along wives, secretaries, bag carriers, etc. for whose expenses they expected the Filipino people to pay, that means the government was allowing for 100,000 pesos in expenses for every member of this trip for this Interpol conference! I think that’s too much of an allowance in order that the members would “not look like beggars”!

There’s something else going on here, and the question is—why is the Secretary of Interior and Local Governments involved in justifying it? Why is Dela Paz not being allowed to be painted as a common criminal who was caught red-handed trying to smuggle an unauthorized amount of foreign currency for his own personal benefit?

Is it because the transit of the 120,000 euros from Russia to the Philippines was not for his personal benefit in the first place?

This particular bare-faced lie, which takes the Filipinos as a bunch of idiots, reminds me of the claim by Deputy Executive Secretary Manuel Gaite that he gave P500,000 to the ZTE-NBN deal star witness Jun Lozada simply out of the goodness of his heart, because the latter had run out of money while in Hong Kong—even though he admitted that he was not a close friend of Lozada, and that he had actually met Lozada only twice before.

Liars!
