Three weeks ago, Senator Loren Legarda quietly rented out her New York condo, turning her into a landlady on posh Park Avenue, according to the New York real estate website Blocksy.com.
The monthly earning from the rental lease is much more than the monthly basic pay of a Philippine senator.
There is nothing wrong with investing in real estate abroad.
However, it appears to be a contradiction in the case of Senator Loren Legarda. When she chaired the Senate Economic Affairs Committee she called on foreigners to invest long term in the Philippines while secretly, she had opted to invest a big chunk of her personal assets abroad.
On September 12, 2008 or two years after buying the Manhattan condo, Senate Economic Affairs Committee chair Loren Legarda issued the following press release excerpted here:
Press Release
September 12, 2008
RP needs long-term investments — LorenSenator Loren Legarda cited the need for the country to attract more long-term foreign investments to spur economic growth, create much needed jobs, and alleviate poverty.
“We need foreign investor who would stick with us through thick and thin, and who will not leave in huff at the slightest sign of trouble,” said Legarda, chair of the Senate Economic Affair Committee.
Legarda said that the country has abundant skilled workers to entice foreign companies to set up their industrial or business operations here.
Legarda issued the statement in reaction to reports that so-called hot money are flowing back to the local stock market as a result of the plummeting prices of oil in the world market.
The latest Bangko Sentral report showed that the country drew $187.5 million in net foreign investments in August, compared to the $20.2 million investment inflow in July.
“The problem with hot money is that it comes in today and is gone tomorrow,” she said, citing as example the large investment outflow last March triggered by inflation.
*****
Legarda said that any investment coming into the country is good, but that what the country needs are long-term investments, as exemplified by business processing firms, and technology-based companies.
What Legarda forgot to say, perhaps, is that top dollar individuals like her can help the country grow and become less poor by investing their money in the Philippines.
Legarda’s original press release can be found on the Senate website by clicking here.
Legarda is a front-runner in the current senatorial race. Sources told me that she had earlier instructed her staff to make her Number One. Being Number One opens up a world of possibilities for the broadcaster-turned-senator. Which is why it is very important for the public to scrutinize her actions from now until the 2016 race for the presidency and vice-presidency.
Two commenters – one from San Francisco and the other from Canada – tipped me off about this new development involving Legarda’s piece of Manhattan.
Senator Legarda listed her 725-square foot condo unit as for rent (it was listed on “Blocksy” by real estate agent Prudential Douglas Elliman) on December 1, 2012. She finally got a renter on April 23, 2013 after dropping the monthly payment from US$ 3,100 to US$ 3,095. So it’s no longer available on the market in case you want to rent it out yourself.
However, thanks to the listing on Blocksy, we can now get a glimpse of Senator Legarda’s elegant apartment.
The online real estate site Blocksy describes itself as “New York’s largest database of Real Estate info, including Manhattan and Brooklyn Property Records, Property Values, Condos, townhouses.”
The Blocksy ad describes Senator Loren’s apartment this way:
Pre-War Park Ave 1 bedroom for Rent Furnished or Unfurnished in a Full Service Luxury Condo. Large and Sunny, West facing 1 bedroom with views of Park Avenue and the Empire State Building from every room. Pre-war charm such as Wood-Burning Fireplace, original Hardwood Oak floors and Lofty 9 Beamed Ceilings add to this apartments appeal. Modern Open Kitchen with slate breakfast bar and tons of counter space are sure to delight. Note: A New dishwasher will be installed prior to move in. The Bathroom was just Renovated and features an Oversized Window with Park Ave views and crisp white Subway tiles. The Massive Bedroom is an amazing 20×13 with 3 large closets, additional shelving, 2 large windows and enough room for a home office. Rent, $3,095 Unfurnished or now only $3,300 Furnished*. Owner prefers NO smokers, and NO pets. 77 Park (The Griffon) offers proximity to Grand Central Station, Bryant Park, The Morgan Library, the Theatre District, as well as to the burgeoning restaurant scene of nearby Park Avenue South..

The original rental ad for Senator Loren Legarda’s property can still be found here in Blocksy.
I asked an official at the International Tax Affairs Division of the Bureau of Internal Revenue whether the senator would have to pay Philippine taxes on her Park Avenue rental income.
This is what the official, who spoke not for attribution, told me:
“With the exception of overseas Filipino workers, as a general rule a citizen of the Philippines is taxed for income within and without the Philippines.”
“For the rent she’s earning (from her New York property), she (Legarda) has to pay the corresponding income taxes using our table (of tax due).”
The official explained that Legarda would become a “mixed income earner” and would need to consolidate all earnings received for the year.
However, “we have a tax treaty with the US. The taxpayer can opt to have the taxes paid in the US (for the rental income) creditd as income tax received and deducted from the total income tax due,” the official explained.
When I explained that Senator Legarda was merely claiming one-fourth ownership of the rental property, the official said the senator would then be entitled to deduct from her Philippine income tax only 25% of the taxes actually paid in New York as a result of the rental income.
No reply from Legarda’s staff
I phoned staffmembers of Senator Legarda to verify the rental of her NY condo and to ask again for a copy of her 2011 SALN. One of them said she did not know anything about the rental but would get back to me about it and my SALN request. I’m still waiting for her reply.
Then I received this noon the following press release from Senator Legarda’s office. Could this be the reply I was waiting for?

May 8, 2013Legarda Remains on Top in Latest SWS Survey
Reelectionist Senator Loren Legarda remained on top of the people’s choice for senator in the 2013 elections as revealed in the SWS’ final pre-election survey conducted on May 2-3, 2013 with 2,400 respondents.
Legarda said she is ever grateful that despite the black propaganda hurled against her, she remains number one in surveys and in the hearts of the people.
“Salamat sa Diyos at salamat sa lahat ng tao na patuloy ang tiwala at suporta sa akin. The result of this latest survey gives me renewed strength and inspiration. This goes to show that Filipinos will not be swayed by the dirty tactics deployed by some to tarnish the good name and track record I have worked hard on,” she stressed.
“I hope that on Election Day the Filipino electorate will look into our track record, what we have done and what we plan to do,” she added.
Among Legarda’s priorities in her next term in the Senate is the Universal Healthcare Coverage Act, which will ensure free healthcare services for the twenty-five million Filipinos through Philhealth.
She will also expand college scholarship through the Pantawid Tuition Program, which seeks to fund one college scholar for every poor family, particularly those belonging to the 3.8 million poorest households.
Legarda continues to work with different sectors in solving key issues such as poverty, malnutrition and unemployment, through L.O.R.E.N. sa Bawat Barangay, which is short for Livelihood Opportunities to Raise Employment Nationwide.
The program aims to inform citizens about livelihood and employment opportunities available to them and to involve various sectors and local government agencies in the creation of jobs and businesses.***

You know, I’m still curious to know why she felt the need to hide the fact that she “co-owned” a New York pad in her Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth. Anyone reading her SALNs from 2007 to 2011 (at least her original SALN for 2011) would never know that the property she allegedly “co-owns” is in New York.
NEWS JUST IN:
However, Putin dropped a section that would have banned as well ownership of real properties abroad. And because of that, both Houses of the Russian Parliament enacted the measure.
Would the new Congress – to be elected this Monday – be bolder than Putin and the Russian Parliament?
Would Senator Loren Legarda and other senators who own properties abroad give theirs up, in the same way that President Benigno Aquino gave up his beloved Porsche?

Chris A. says
Now everything is coming out against Loren Legarda. I never trust her ever since. She uses her charisma to get where she is…..a number one BALIMBING in Philippines politics.
Makes me wonder what is her actual relationship with JPE and Angara. Is it just business in politics or something else?
I hope her reported SALN’s should be fully investigated. Her alibi of Black Propaganda is not acceptable at all and instead try to explain why there was 3 reported SALN and all different numbers appear on it. Sana naman ang mga boboto sana sa kanya ngaun election ay malinawan ang isip at HUWAG siya iboto. WE don’t need that kind of Senator in the Senate, there is more honest and qualified candidates.

Surveys are scientific collection of voices; more voices heard the better for surveys to be analyzed. The results from the reputable survey firms, Pulse Asia and SWS, should give us pre-election rankings of senatorial candidates.
I have combined the last Pulse Asia pre-election survey (April 20-22) and the last SWS pre-election survey (May 2-3). The following is the list of candidates according to four categories…
The prospect of winning the senatorial election is very high in Category A.
The chance of winning diminishes in the succeeding categories.
We shall see if this list will be the same in the official post-election result.
Good luck to all the candidates. May we have a peaceful electoral process.

Areas that she chaired like Clean Air Act, the Solid Waste Management Act, the Climate Change Act and the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act are all in the passing grade. We had once “matino/mahusay” leadership, di imposible, he did it. We can do it too. If we continued losing B’s every year, its an indication of failure on our policy making. it does not stop there, we must see the deployment and assessment result. Look I can pass multi act bill, but what good does it make if you dont see the result. TELESERYE NA LANG AFTER OFFICE.

filipino american says
Sad. Here I was thrilled with Aquino as president who tries to instill what seemed to be a for-the-first-time sincere anti corruption mindset among filipinos and politicians. Yet, the people associated with him are a bunch of less than sub par mediocre characters: legarda and escudero (former looter estrada ally), aga muhlach (a forgotten movie actor of the past, degree-less, brainless, an ingrate incapable of making insightful, intelligent statements and responses. Oh yes, if elected as congressman — dear god– , he plans to continue acting while ‘dedicating himself to helping his filipino countrymen. Oh he also plans to keep living in Ayala Alabang, not the place where he may be serving as congressman).
Anyway, this Loren Legarda case is hillarious. Listen, if I were part of a political party that aims to rid corruption, I would be thrilled to have people like Biaraogo accuse me of wrongdoing. This would give me a chance to prove my credibility as a politician and the party Im associated with —- by correcting allegations. You see, you filipino people, when a politician mentions black proganda as reason for any allegations against him/her, it means that politician wants the case closed, dismissed, and never mentioned again.
whichever, whatever, or whoever the allegations come from doesnt matter. Fact is, an allegation has been made , and a credible one at that. now you must face it and do some explaining. But I guess if you’re a typical uneducated poor, illiterate, gullible filipino voter with an iq of 75 and below who votes based on popularity ( yes you poor gullible filipinos voted for sotto, honasan, enrile, revilla, lapid, herbert bautista, joker arroyo, bongbong marcos, imelda marcos, imee marcos, estrada, jinggoy— jesus christ the list goeson), thenyou would defend legarda and be willing to dismiss everything as ‘black propaganda.’
I had a good image of the philippines, at least the culture, while growing up as part of a small middle class. But now as a grown up in America, it seems as if those images were an illusion. The filipinos are generally idiots if you ask me. Their attitude stinks. Therenis nothing to proud of in being a filipino. It is embarassing! The place is dirty and filipinos want to remain poor and dirty. Unless you people start thinking for yourselves and create a mindset that aims to better yourself and those and things around you, the philippines will always be a shithole country. But im sure there a bunch of good filipinosnout there, serious about change, serious about peace harmony cleanliness etc etc. — about 3%. anyway, bahala na kayo sa buhay nyo. keep sleeping and joking and having babies and scavenging forntrash and working as maidsintaiwan and watching wowowee.

Juan_Voice says
The problem is a lot of us Narcissistic pea-brained numskull think too highly of ourselves. Do we honestly believe our poor Filipino countrymen won’t change their situation if given a choice ?
It is actually this kind of mindset that has made some politicians to think that they tower over their countrymen and that they are icons to be feared and revered upon. To think that they can trample down on their fellowmen just because they look and smell different. To steal from them and thinking they can get away with it !
It is this kind of UnPatriotic Attitude that has crippled this country for so long, for so many times !
And one less Filipino with this kind of attitude living in the Philippines will always be for the better good of All.
And Yes, if Loren did acquire her NY condo illegally, then she should also pack up, kick her new tenant out and move in permanently herself !
Victin Luz says
Even if LEGARDA acquired the NY CONDU LEGALLY as long as she did not file CORRECTLY her SALN for such period… Because of submission of 2 SALN of wrong ENTRIES, under Philipppine Law and the Constitution it was punishable so she has to PACK UP…like CORONA, the lowly court interpreter and the BIR examiner who did the same and were removed from office.
Victin Luz says
@Filipino American ……..former Filipinos who went to America like you ,, ignorant before but had tasted ” bread ,butter and honey ” but who threw his/her Filipino way of living and thinking are MORE IDIOT than US….people who are GREEDY like you who doesn’t want to contribute ANY to his/her beloved country of birth or of their parents are like FROGs who keeps on shouting but doesn’t know where they came from, but in the PHILIPPPINES ……. AMERICANS ( INDIANs, NAITIVEs and of BRITISH- ITALIAN origins ) were all IDIOTs why? It was because with their color WHITEs and of SUPERIOR RACES as the CLAIMED,,,, they married the small brown Filipinos ( IDIOTs as you said ) like you @filipinas and the DIRTY NIGGERs who were their SLAVEs ONLY…..does electing a BLACK ” pangit ” President and a ” pangit ” First Lady….

A very close ally approached the president and confessed a lot of important matters. The name of “Boy Kuryente” surfaced during the private conversation attended only by the inner circle.

A Tale of Two Molehills
On the 24th of April 2012 at 1730H, the Office of the Senate Secretary received one molehill from Sen. Two L’s; the Net Worth of which amounts to 45M Philippine pesos. A copy of the molehill was released to a woman named Double R.
On the 2nd day of May 2013, Sen. Two L’s presented a second molehill supposedly submitted to the Office of the Senate Secretary on the 24th of April 2012 at 1730H (same date and time as the first molehill). The second molehill has a Net Worth amounting to 47M Philippine pesos.
A person named Leon D. Lion, expertly educated everyone that two (2) molehills will form a Mountain.
To Simplify, the equation will be:
Now, Sen. Two L’s, fearing that she’ll get caught illegally shaping her molehills, tried to hide the Mountain that she created. She sought the help of her political party, the Vice-President, the President, and various sectors who are supportive of her to conceal the very large Mountain obscuring her face.
Unfortunately, Atty. Rent-Uphill continually surveyed the Mountain and wisely informed everyone of its existence.
baycas says
2/2
Sen. Two L’s decided to just remain silent as if the Mountain does not exist and, if pestered, will simply dismiss the Mountain as just a demolition job to make her ugly to the public.
Local geologists, however, calculated that the creation of the Mountain is presently a hell of problem for Sen. Two L’s:
Genuine mh-2
If the senator will deny that the first molehill exists and that the second molehill is genuine, then whose molehill was released to Double R?
Genuine mh-1
If the senator will admit that the first molehill exists, then how come she presented a second molehill different from the first? How come the first molehill is undervalued?
Genuine mh-1 and mh-2
If the senator will admit that the two molehills exist, then how come they were submitted on the same day and at the same time? How come the two molehills are different from each other?
No mh-1 and mh-2
If the senator will deny that the two molehills exist, then whose molehill was released to Double R and whose molehill was presented last May 2, 2013?
To Simplify the moral of the story:
