Day: January 26, 2009

Ricky Carandang of ABS-CBN News Channel last Friday reported that Justice Undersecretary Ricardo Blancaflor deposited P2,644,438.92 in his account (4514-0005-07803) in Metrobank head office in Makati on Dec. 19, 2008, the day he called up Maj. Ferdinand Marcelino asking why Richard Brodett, Joseph Tecson, and Jorge Joseph were not yet released despite the resolution issued by the Department of Justice dismissing the charges against them.

Ricky said he was told that Blancaflor used a scheme commonly practiced in money laundering. You avail of a loan. Then pay with the “dirty money.”

Ricky’s source said Blancaflor availed of a loan in the amount of P2,642,187.23 also on Dec. 19, 2008. But he also deposited P2,644,438.92 on the same day.

Ricky said Blancaflor said he availed of a P7 million loan from Metrobank last April.

(I’m trying to contact Blancaflor for his side)

It will be recalled that despite the fact that Marcelino told him on Dec. 19 that Brodett, Tecson, and Joseph can’t be released because DOJ resolution still has to be reviewed by Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez, Blancaflor, on Dec. 23, used his office to do messengerial service for the Alabang Boys’ lawyer, Atty. Felisardo Verano.

Blancaflor allowed his secretary to deliver the order to release the three prepared by Verano on a DOJ letterhead for signature of Gonzalez. The release order has yet to be acted upon by Gonzalez.

Blancaflor and Verano are fraternity brothers He also once helped the Brodetts with their tax case with the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

VERA Files, in its recent report of intra-feud of agencies involved in the fight agaist illegal drugs,said, “Blancaflor was first recruited to the Arroyo government by then National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales but never held office at the National Security Council.

“Instead, he was posted at Malacanang, manning the “war room” along with former military intelligence officer Col. Victor Corpus and then Presidential Management Staff chief (now Ambassador to Greece) Rigoberto Tiglao that closely monitored political developments, including Arroyo’s opponents.

“Blancafor has told friends that he mustered support for Arroyo in 2005 amid allegations of her hand in electoral fraud, documented in wiretapped phone conversations known as the “Hello, Garci” tapes. As members of the Cabinet were defecting, Blancaflor “shepherded” reporters to the Alabang residence of Fidel V. Ramos for the press conference during which the former president declared he was standing behind Arroyo.

“Blancaflor was later appointed undersecretary at the Department of National Defense and the DOJ, but without portfolio.

“Blancaflor and lawyer Felisberto Verano Jr., counsel for “Alabang Boys” Richard Brodett and Joseph Tecson, are contemporaries at the Ateneo de Manila Law School and brods at the fraternity Utopia. State Prosecutor John Resado, who dismissed the charges against the “Alabang Boys,” is Verano’s former law student at the Far Eastern University.”

Kaduda-duda daw ang appointment ni retired General Tirso Danga bilang hepe ng National Printing , sabi ni Sen. Mar Roxas.

Si Danga kasi ang hepe ng ISAFP (Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines) nang mangyari ang pag-tape ng usapan ni Gloria Arroyo at Comelec Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano. Ngunit nang mag-imbistigas ang Senado, hindi sumipot si Danga.

“Hindi pa nga nasasagot ni Admiral Danga ang mga tanong sa kanyang naging papel sa kaso ng Hello Garci ay eto at siya pa ang ilalagay sa ahensyang gagawa ng mga balota para sa eleksyon. Talagang garapalan na ang ginagawa ng Malacañang,” sabi ni Mar.

Maala-ala natin na doon sa usapan ni Arroyo at Garcillano, klaro na pinag-uusapan nila ang pandaraya na ginagawa para matakpan ang lamang ni Fernando Poe, Jr.

Marami ang nagtataka noon bakit na-tape ang pag-uusap ni Arroyo. Di ba delikado yan na tina-tap ang cell phone ng Presidente (kahit na siya ay epeke). Sinabi ng mga taga-ISAFP na si Garcillano talaga ang pina-tape ng Malacañang dahil hindi sila sigurado kung nabili na rin ni FPJ.

Sinabi ni Sgt Vidal Doble, yung naglabas ng “Hello Garci” tapes na laking gulat raw nila nang marinig nila ang boses ni Arroyo at nag-uusap pa tungkol sa pandaraya.

Sabi ni Mar, kung nagawa ni Danga na ipagamit ang kanyang opisina, na dapat ay magprutekta ng kapakanan ng sambayanang , para sa pandaraya ni Arroyo, malamang ipagamit rin niya ang NPO sa pandaraya sa 2010 para lang mapanatili sa kapangyarihan o maprutektahan si Arroyo.

Ang NPO kasi ang nagi-imprinta ng mga balota na ginagamit sa eleksyon.

Alam natin na kakapi at kakapit si Arroyo sa kanyang puwesto ngayon kung maa-ari. Kaya buhay pa ngayon ang charter change. Maa-ari nilang ipilit ang Cha-Cha kahit ayaw ng Senado sa tulong ng mga galamay ni Arroyo sa Supreme Court. Hawak naman nila ang karamihan sa mga mayor at gubernador kaya lulutuin na rin nila ang plebiscite.

Kaya tinatantya ng Malacañang ang mood ng mga tao. Kung hindi naman masyadong maiinit, itutulak nila ang cha-cha. Kung medyo tagilid sila, ibang paraan naman ang kanilang itutulak.

Itutuloy nila ang eleksyon sa 2010 ngunit garapalan ulit ang dayaan para mananalo ang kandidato na suportahan ni Arroyo.Sabi ni Mar, “Mahalagang ibalik ng ating gobyerno ang tiwala ng taumbayan sa malinis na eleksyon sa 2010, pero sa pag-appoint ni GMA kay Danga sa NPO ay lalo lang tumindi ang suspetsa natin na walang balak si GMA na gawing malinis ang susunod na halalan..”

Kasi kung hindi sila mandaya, sguradong matatalo ang sino mang kandidato na dikit kay Arroyo. Sa baho ba naman niya.

Siyempre ang kandidato na yan ay mangangako kay Arroyo na hindi sila kakasuhan at ikukulong. Tuloy ang ligaya nilang magasawa at ng kanilang mga alagad.

Papayag ba tayo ng ganun?
