Exclusive photos on pork and Imelda Marcos

Share:

After I wrote my post yesterday about how there would be a media frenzy to get hold of Senator Juan Ponce Enrile’s mugshots, my hubby Alan told me he’d already produced the photos. In fact he gave me two sets, which he assures can be used for any and all senators arrested because of the pork barrel scandal.

Here’s one:

And here’s the other:

As a bonus Alan also gave me two more pictures showing his reaction to the news that Imelda Marcos not only guested and delivered a speech at an Ateneo de Manila University function, students swarmed all over her to take selfies.

Here’s Alan’s take on the momentous occasion:

The Marcos rebirth is nearly complete.

All it needs is a Marcos in the Palace.

  1. There is a silver lining. The apology by the Ateneo president meant that having a Marcos for an event is something to apologize for. Ateneo still has credibility as an academic institution. No Marcos revisionist video nor apologist can ignore that fact. If we can amplify the message then we can undermine the revisionist propaganda by the Marcoses.

  2. I find those pics your Alan and you seem to even be so proud about really disgusting to say the least. In the first place, those are just accusations and those guys are not even proven guilty yet. Assuming for the sake of argument that P450Million was dissipated, isn’t that amount pittance compared with the P160Billion hijacked from department and agency funds and lost thru DAP concocted by the DAP King Simyon?

    May I also remind you that if my memory serves me right, Ms. Imelda was one of the first donor to that foundation that provided the assistance to those students. It was only fitting for the foundation to honor a benefactor. Maybe, if you donated some assistance to that foundation in its formative years, they may also have invited you to grace the occasion. I rather find weird for you to find malice in a purely festive affair. Insinuating a political color to the foundation’s milestone date is just without class and a no-no behavior in polite society.

    • Ms Imelda stashed your parents’ money in Swiss banks. At least that’s what the Swiss Federal Court ruled and that’s why it ordered that the money be returned to the Philippines

      you have no sense of history. sad.

      • Hija, my sense of history is never colored by any propaganda carved out of a desire to resurrect Mother Mary in the person of a Corazon but are borne because of knowledge of certain facts, unwritten they may be.

        First of all, Mr. Mike is never the owner of Finanzierung. If you read the articles of association, it is a who’s who of Philippine business and Mr. Mike is just the face. While I have been introduced to Mr. Mike, the operator in the bank is someone I know very well having travelled with him to various capitals. If not for greed and in-fighting about how much certain personages in the Corazon Circle gets, USD3B could have been credited in favor of the Philippine Govt by Operation Bigbird. The Swiss Govt has to declare what it has declared to stop further Phil Govt inquiries into Swiss banks. The Philippines got crumbs of USD360M which got purloined again thru the Fertilizer Scam. By the way, because of stupidity of the lady writing to the Austria Govt to seal the bank, we lost forever the chance of beneficial ownership of the funds held in the name of Finanzierung.

        Of course, the son knows the USD213M because it was supposed to fund a coup. Mr. Mike represented that he may be able to get it but he seems to have tried to hijack it for himself. Maybe, this is the reason why the father of Irwin, Mr. Fabian was left to his own devices having to suffer penury in Europe all those years all alone except with Ms. Edna at her side. However, recent information indicates the guy is still alive.

        Isn’t it that a USD13B was once recently tagged to be in the name of a daughter? A USD3B is still a pittance compared to what the asset is. The amounts could not have been “plundered” nor “ill gotten” because Philippine treasury could not have had USD3.1B at that time. However, these are all water under the bridge now. The objective at the present is not to get it back (for the Swiss, Brits and Chinese will never give it – altho recent talks may yield fruit) but how to be able to make use of it to benefit the country. Judging from the way SMC is bidding with bids to win, I am sure those funds are getting slowly back for the country. Surely, even if he may not be the biological son, a Marcos presidency may be the chance to bring back all these assets for the country – and it does not have to be Bonget.

    • Tone deaf to history, tone deaf to corruption, tone deaf to oppression. My only question is: did you partake during Martial Law? And you’re invoking tone as a defense? tsk tsk

  4. let us unite.
    let us support our president.
    he needs us this time the most.
    go go go Pnoy.
    keep tracking.
    evils are feeling the heat.
    keep up.

  5. Bail hearing on a crime that is not bailable! The court issued a warrant after days of going over the case file. Purpose: to find probable cause including whether no bail or bail should be allowed.

    Since warrant of arrest was issued thereafter it goes to follow no bail should be granted. Why a hearing for bail then? Is the defense delaying the proceeding or the prosecutors?

    “This after prosecutors on Tuesday presented to the witness stand Atty. Vic Escalante Jr., a graft-investigating and prosecuting officer tasked with Estrada’s case under the Office of the Ombudsman.
    The defendants questioned the prosecutors’ move to present a witness this early during the accused’s bail hearing motion ahead of a trial proper.”

    http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/617832/napoles-lawyer-slams-prosecutors-for-delaying-bail-hearing

    If this was ‘a Motion’ on bail hearing by the defense, then defense as ‘movant’ should start presenting whatever evidence on its’ Motion and not the prosecution presenting evidence. Confusing on this manner of court procedure. Btw, the Motion of defense should be held in abeyance until mid-way into the trial for ruling on the Motion if the court can or will not accede to the Motion.

    Who is delaying who? Off topic but interesting for learning of the PDAF trial events.

  6. This is not confirmed…

    “the President was overheard as saying he was sick and tired of all the criticisms hurled at him.”

    Isn’t criticisms a by-product of Daan Matuid? He did create it and should love the effects! It means people are awake. Alive. Getting smart. Knowing and trying to know more.

    The writer of the news report is wrong to say:

    “President Noynoy is contemplating on resigning in the midst of the controversies surrounding his administration, chief among them the recent ruling by the Supreme Court that his Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) was unconstitutional.” Only aaBad should resign.

    http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/617743/is-the-president-resigning

    • P’noy may not have understood fully well the political playing field for him to contemplate on resigning because of so much criticisms against his leadership.
      After Justice Corona, then the Top three most popular figure in the arena, it is obvious that another great ones is soon to follow and what is happening to him right now is clear demolition job against him before another expose would surface and could even be more for he people of the nation to really lose faith in anyone who would handle even a broom.
      South Korea and Japan have their leaders resigning not for reason of too much criticisms but for what they believe they failed to see and failed to do. Something I see none of our leaders has that kind of mind and heart.

  7. Those kids doesn’t have an idea whom they are rubbing elbow with”true picture of ” Hayop na nagkatawang tao”.Sad to say that Philippine History books omitted 1972-1986 onwards, that’s not how the History should be written,omission of crimes,graft &corruptions.SAD.

  9. he he he well some gays will destroy Ateneo’s image, probably one of the members of faculty is gay (echos) or probably more than one, nahawa, dahil nakakahawa yan pagkabading, ako malapit na nuon, mabuti na lang inunahan ko ng pagbabading, hayyy (tsos), ayun ng maramdaman ni waray gundina ko, sabi nya, puputulin daw ang kaligahan ko…heto matuwid na ako sa daan he he he mayroon na akong pangitain na mas maige maging tunay he he he

    kuhang kuha mo yun mga figures, you are such a fine artist he he he thanks Alan…

  10. Imelda Marcos’ appearance at ADMU backfired as netizens continue criticism

    To allay negative perceptions, University President Fr. Jett Villarin said “I hope for your understanding. I would like to assure you that we in the administration have learned our lesson to be more mindful of those we invited to our celebrations. More importantly, I would like to reaffirm that we have not forgotten the darkness of those years of dictatorship and that we will not compromise on our principles in forming those who would lead this nation.” (PDI 7/7/14)

    Imelda has lately been vocal in her desire to have bongbong run for president in 2016 to clean their bad image of being “magnanakaw” and “human right violators”. Unfortunately, bongbong was implicated lately by benhur luy of having received P100M from the DAP last May 2012, together together with 4 other senators, for a total of P425M that went directly to napoles’ non-existing NGOs.(PDI 7/6/14)

  11. 28 Years ago (sirku 1986) in the high school level should have been taught by having names and photos in the Hall of Heroes and Hell of Corrupts all written on WALLS at the school buildings.

    Then in 2001 up to 2014 another Hall of Porks. With these Walls a P.S. note at the bottom in gold lettering:

    Mga Kabataan! Di Kayo Ma Uto-Uto Ng Bayan! And keep it growing.

    …to keep schools etc. thinking 3x from inviting them as guests. E wala! A GAP in our history.

  12. I have just finished writing an article on DAP but I want to sleep on it for just one more day.

    I’ll be posting it tomorrow.

  13. DI BALENG CORRUPT, BASTA KAKAMPI NG MGA BISHOP! – Imelda Marcos, after voting against RH.

    Ha ha ha ha ha

    YOUTH IS WASTED ON THE YOUNG. – I forgot who said this.

    NASA KABATAAN ANG MGA UTO-UTO NG BAYAN. – Jose Rizal , after getting drunk somewhere in Europe.

    ha ha ha ha

    WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HESUITA AND HESWITIK? – anonymous

    ha ha ha ha

    • And here what Hitler said, below link.If this speech even came close to Bong and Jingoy’s speeches, the youth voters who are big in numbers could be swayed for his/their presidential slot. Sometimes ideology changes with time, especially with the youth who thirst for power and control. Hazing is one of them, good brotherhood but misdirected and fatal …. and the adults who condone it, they need some redirection and some whacking themselves of 2by2 severe whipping.

      Perhaps Democracy and great leaders in some countries exist only in the internet.

    • @a.lim,
      dahil iyan sa tutulug-tulog na mga magulang.
      kulang na sa paggabay sa mga anak.
      at dahil din sa pagka-addict sa mga gadgets at computer/video games.
      wala nang gaanong time for reading ang marami nating kabataan sa ngayon.
