Analysis by Raissa Robles
Vice President Jejomar Binay has something to seriously worry about.
In a matter of two months – and with elections still 19 months away – his ratings in the Pulse Asia survey on “Presidential Preference” have dropped by 24.39% – or by 10 percentage points from 41% last June to 31% this month of September.
While that of Interior and Local Governments Secretary Mar Roxas, his perceived rival, doubled in the same period – from 7% to 13%.
Only 18 percentage points now separate Binay and Roxas in the Pulse Asia surveys.
Here is the September Pulse Asia survey:
And here is the June-July Pulse Asia survey”
Binay’s drop can be seen all across the regions and all across the socio-economics groups ABC, D and E.
While Mar Roxas’ surge can be seen also across all regions and across the socio-economic groups D and E. Only the ABC socio-economic group remains unimpressed with Mar Roxas, it seems. Since his rating merely rose by 1%.
But Mar Roxas has leaped over Senator Grace Poe and Mayor Joseph Estrada to now take second place. However, Senator Miriam Santiago is a close third to him at 11%. While Senator Grace Poe’s rating has slid by 2%.
The Binay camp will naturally pooh-pooh this survey.
But these surveys are what political strategists use to plan election campaigns.
This is just the summary of what political strategists pay ratings agencies like Pulse Asia. I am sure the survey results go down to the provinces and cities.
Binay can still recover.
@choihilario on Twitter just asked me if Mar Roxas can overtake Binay.
My reply – he has enough time to do that. But the question is, does he have enough credibility to make more and more people believe in him. However, this shows that Mar Roxas can start giving VP Binay some very serious competition indeed.
This is no longer a lone horse race.
Now the presidential race just got more interesting.

‘MANILA, Philippines – Vice President Jejomar Binay admitted over the weekend getting mad over what he described as “below the belt” attacks by senators in the congressional inquiry over his alleged undeclared properties.’ philstar news.
…better that there’s no kickin’ in the balls! I would protest.

WECANDOIT says
“As for “Hacienda Binay,” we will see how credible the “sale” of that property is. But meanwhile, where are the Binay classmates, and the politicians, or the wives, who have enjoyed the hospitality of the former mayor of Makati and his wife? They should know. Why don’t they come out and tell the Filipino people what they know? I challenge them to tell the truth.”

The Ombudsman or the DOJ etc., now can move from witnesses who are scornfully telling …the truth from the lies.
Scorned. Why not listen to the truth from them?
leona says
Many bosses of the Mafia in NYC, went to jail because of scorned witnesses accepted for the truth by then their prosecutor ex-Mayor Rudy Guilliana.
Without those witnesses testimony from where the evidence were gathered etc., the task would not have been realized.
We, here always, move back to the excuse: are there any witnesses?
An ex-mayor – Mr. Mercado is now there. Incriminating himself also. What more does Daan Matuid needs?
Why the seeming reluctance? Do we want VP Binay to be president or not?
This situation may never be repeated again for years to come. Take the opportunity at hand.
Time TO LEARN and TIME to act.

Binay not resigning from Aquino Cabinet
Unfazed by allegations that he received kickbacks and amassed unexplained wealth when he was still mayor of Makati City, Binay reiterated his desire to run for president in 2016.
“Kaya ba ang aking pangarap ay ‘yun hong aking nagawa sa Makati ay magagawa ko rin po sa ating mga kababayan sa buong Pilipinas”
(That’s why it is my dream to do in the entire Philippines what I did in Makati.)
OMG, “MENE MENE” – the writing on the wall.
Sam says
nako … paktay tayo dyan
moonie says
ang yabang naman ni binay. the people and private citizens of makati worked hard to get where they are now, not sitting and twiddling their thumbs and waiting for binay to feed them. the businessmen and women of makati worked just as hard, marketing and promoting makati as well, their profits plowed back to their business to improve it and make it more profitable and progressive. it was not all binay’s effort at gawain. binay should not discredit the people who help to make makati what it is now.
vander anievas says

wow, level up ang billion sa trillion.
gusto ko na ring mangarap.
Rene-Ipil says
Obviously, people in the municipal assessor’s office and the municipal agrarian reform office (MARO) of Rosario, Batangas are in the payroll of Binay. So it is better for a journalist or the NBI to secure pertinent documents to solve the puzzle that is the real ownership of land in Hacienda Binay.
I am quite sure that the parcels of land involved are covered by agrarian law. So the agrarian reform beneficiary (ARB) who sold his land within the 10-year prohibitive period to Binay must be identified first. This is done through the TCT-CLOA (certificate of land ownership award) issued individually to an ARB or issued collectively to a group of ARBs.
The copy of the collective or individual TCT is now in the MARO and the Register of Deeds of Batangas and can be accessed by anybody. But the TCT number must be specified before the MARO or the RD could provide the copy. How do we identify the pertinent TCT and ARB?
The land subdivided for distribution to ARBs are identified by name and lot number in an approved survey plan and technical descriptions, which copies are with the MARO. So the particular lots now occupied by Binay and company could be traced through this survey plan. To correlate the lots concerned to the land occupied by Binay, the help of the ARB or, in his absence, a geodetic engineer is necessary.
But first, let us begin with the piggery which, according to ABS-CBN, has been declared in the name of JCB c/o Renato Comia of Rosario, Batangas. This is shown in the real property tax declaration (RPTD) with the assessor’s office. Meaning that either Comia is the ARB or the transferee of the lot from the ARB. In that RPTD, a portion indicates the corresponding TCT number, which TCT could be a collective or individual TCT. In any case, the pertinent lot number is indicated also in the RPTD as well as the adjoining lots mentioned in the approved survey plan.
Having identified the lot numbers, the ARB and the lot area could now be determined. Such data are written on the approved survey plan itself. Of course the location of the lots is known because the piggery stands on it or adjacent to it. Using the approved survey plan, the contiguous lots acquired by Binay to comprise his farm could now be verified.
To verify the corresponding ARB who sold his lot to Binay, the MARO or the agrarian reform specialist who handled the distribution of lots must be enlisted. He knows for sure each and every ARB because the award of lots entails identification and personal interview of the ARB.
The ARB who cooperates in the prosecution of Binay may regain possession of his lot, while lots awarded to uncooperative ARBs may be redistributed to other qualified ARBs in accordance with agrarian reform laws and regulations.
leona says
The law as a State policy declares null and void –
‘Upon the effectivity of this Act, any sale, disposition, lease, management, contract or transfer of possession of private lands executed by the original landowner in violation of the Act shall be null and void: ‘
SEC. 6 Chap. 1 RA 6657 effective June 10, 1988.
Any SALE, DISPOSITION, LEASE, MANAGEMENT, CONTRACT or TRANSFER of POSSESSION….any private lands is covered and IS NULL and VOID.
Many buyers and sellers are engaged in violating this SECTION. They UNDATE contract; they DO NOT REGISTER the contract, etc. Even just the POSSESSION is IN VIOLATION of SECTION 6.
The AGE OF THE PAPER/DOCUMENT, Age of the SIGNATURES, etc. will show WHEN the documents were executed, more or less. Plus testimony of concerned parties will prove the violation.
What is the PENALTY for the violation? SECTION 74. Penalties. — Any person who knowingly or willfully violates the provisions of this Act shall be punished by imprisonment of not less than one (1) month to not more than three (3) years or a fine of not less than one thousand pesos (P1,000.00) and not more than fifteen thousand pesos (P15,000.00), or both, at the discretion of the court. If the offender is a corporation or association, the officer responsible therefor shall be criminally liable.
leona says
When the proof of violation under SECTION 74 of RA 6657 is proven, impeachment has now a strong ground to proceed since the acts may constitute ‘continuing criminal acts’ or from the time of ‘[upon] it’s DISCOVERY’ under SECTION 6 prohibiting any sale, etc.
moonie says
well, if owners will not show up and there’s no proof of ownerships, the government might as well confiscate those pirated properties. make them all state properties to be enjoyed by the people.

Binay on his accusers: ‘I won’t give dignity to them’
In an interview in Mindanao, Binay said he “will not give dignity” to his accusers as well as the senators who have been conducting the hearings, which, he said, are politically motivated.
WELL, WE CANNOT REALLY GIVE WHAT WE DO NOT HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!
moonie says
binay will fail in the staring contest with the senators. he’s in mindanao instead spending more of taxpayers money and using government amenities and resources on his many travels. he cannot escape and hide in batanggas and vicinities, kaya sa mindanao na lang muna siya mag-while away his time.
leona says
This what I see… a writing is being made on the wall… the SENATE HEARING…the RED RIBBON comttee ba yan? …on the VP Binay’s matter…for what?
After this hearing…then what? Where will all the ‘ITEMS atbpa’ gathered … GO TO?
To whom? Again…For what? For possible impeachment? Very probable. Not only possible.
When? Surest time is 2015. Early part of it? Should be. A removal from office will bring a poll survey of about 5% or less for the now VP? Can such possible result of that poll survey affect the BOBOTANTES? A strong MAYBE.
Is this Senate Red Ribbon HEARING an LP move for a strategy for 2016? There is no other reason that I can see. If it is NOT, everybody must be nuts!
Let’s then EAT peanuts.
leona says
To SC, they go – “LAWYERS of Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay Jr. said they are set to file a petition with the Supreme Court seeking an injunction on the ongoing Senate investigation of the alleged overpricing of Makati City Hall Building II.”
Their GROUNDS: their ‘constitutional rights of its client and other city government officials were being violated.’
What, for examples, are those RIGHTS? Some EXAMPLES:
1. denied of his [their] rights to due process.
2. in aid of legislation. [ Hearing is NOT]
3. a jurisdictional challenge. [ resolved already by a ruling – denied]
4. cited in contempt for not appearing in the hearings.
5. the ongoing inquiry has clearly “gone beyond the scope of its original purpose.
6. to appear at the hearings without being informed of the issues to be inquired upon them.
7. [They] were described by members of the sub-committee as “nanloloko” (swindlers) in open session, with PowerPoint presentations shown by the sub-Committee even describing their clients as “robbers.”
8. selective justice because – the individuals who admitted their criminal wrongdoings but made bare, inadmissible and malicious accusations against our clients of ‘rigging’ all the bids in Makati City and receiving kickbacks were coddled by immunity under the Witness Protection Program.
9. The witnesses accused them of receiving huge kickbacks from various transactions with the city and amassing unexplained wealth.
10. the hearing implicated Vice President Jejomar Binay, his wife and former mayor Elenita Binay, and their son, Mayor Binay, in various instances of corruption.
That’s it, more or less.
On No. 7, okay, AVOID describing the OBJECTORS such words as ‘Nanloloko.’ That is an UNFOUNDED conclusion. Refrain from describing them like that.
From Nos. 1 to 10 [excluding No. 7] are such objections NOT IN AID OF LEGISLATION? These are ‘seeds’ to become ‘ROOTS’ for corruption. Are such issues out of bounds for the Senate Hearing?
If they OBJECT to these points, why not just say ‘I do not know about that.’ Or say ‘I refuse to answer because it may incriminate me.’ Or ‘I do not have any information on that.’ Or ‘The I have nothing to do with that.’
But, are these OBJECTORS excused from ATTENDING the hearing because of their objections noted?
In aid of legislation, as the term has been used ever since, is so vast and ‘a beyond’ for purposes of enacting a law or statute to clip/stop corruption.
Just attend and let the HEARING terminate after attending. MHO is the objectors have no real and valid grounds to object, except OBJECTION No. 7. [ I submit ]

Btw, PDI news reports – ‘“This also further certifies that there is no record of JCB Farm in our current database of duly registered businesses for the year 2014,” it added.
The certification did not indicate who owned JCB Farm and municipal employees claimed they did not know who.”
This ‘report’ came from the Municipal Administrator. But the Assessor’s Office should SHOW who the ‘owner(s)’ are of this property. ASSESSOR’S OFFICE! No document there can EXIST not showing this FACT.
Somebody/someone is turning the wheels of fortunes on this at the Rosario municipality, Batangas. CHECKING AGAIN may reveal the truth.

Greenergy Holdings ups Agrinurture stake to 30.26%
By DANESSA O. RIVERA, GMA NEwsJuly 8, 2014 6:17pm
Greenergy Holdings Inc. has increased its stake in listed food producer Agrinurture Inc. after buying P114 million worth of shares in the open market as part of the business strategy diversifying its investment portfolio.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange Tuesday, Greenergy said it bought 27 million worth of Agrinurture secondary common shares at P4.21 per share for a total acquisition cost of P113,744,736.00 including taxes, fees and commission.
“We are consolidating profitable entities under Greenergy Holdings,” CEO Antonio Tiu said in a text message to GMA News Online.
Greenergy and Agrinurture are both owned by the Tiu family.
The acquisition is equivalent to 4.34 percent of the total issued and outstanding shares of Agrinurture.
“After the transaction, Greenergy will have 30.26 percent of the total issued and outstanding shares of Agrinurture,” the disclosure read.
On July 3, Greenergy bought 60,902,450 secondary common shares of Agrinurture – also in the open market – for P255 million or P4.19 per share, raising its stake in the food producer to 14.03 percent.
Apart from Agrinurture, Greenergy also raised its exposure in Sunchamp Real Estate Development Corp. to 62.39 percent, after buying 310 million primary common shares for P310 million.
Sunchamp is on developing self-sustaining agri-tourism areas, with real and enforceable rights over approximately 145 hectares of land in Rosario, Batangas.
In November 2012, Greenergy said it was cleared to invest in companies and acquire assets of Tiu – which include food and agriculture, banking and finance, real estate development and construction, renewable energy, technology, information technology and retail – making it a holding company.
Greenergy was formerly MUSX Corp., a semiconductor firm renamed to reflect the its new business direction after Tiu acquired it in early 2012. – VS, GMA News

Second of two parts. The first is awaitng moderation.
It appears that the piggery business provided the cover for the accumulation of Binay’s ill gotten wealth to a limited extent. The greater part of such wealth comprises the acquisition and development of “Hacienda Binay” into a world-class and green structures and facilities such as the royal botanic garden, orchidarium, thoroughbred and fighting cock farms, mansions, swimming pools, lagoons, air conditioned pig pens, etc.
An elaborate scheme involving Sunchamp and Agrifortuna was formulated in preparation for the 2010 and 2016 adventure. But along the way Binay double-crossed his “bagman.” Soon, the ghosts of the OSMAK (Mabuhay 2000 Enterprise) the Makati Parking Building (Hilmarc) and Hacienda Binay surfaced devastatingly. As of this writing Binay is still digging his own and family’s grave deeper.

The article below speaks of the calls for PNoy’s resignation by the church backed Cebu Assembly of National Transformation Council (NTC), earlier by the Lipa Declaration. If the so called council calls for PNoy’s resignation (or whatever termed they used) who will succeed him? Obviously it’s Binay. Could this be another conspiracy?
@raissa, is it worth doing deeper research?
Written by Tribune Wires, 3 October 2014
Calls for the resignation of President Aquino have become louder, with the Cebu Assembly of National Transformation Council (NTC) adding its voice to an earlier call from the Lipa Declaration.
Last Tuesday, some 5,000 people from Cebu City and various parts of the Visayas and Mindanao came together to promulgate the Cebu Assembly of the National Transformation Council (NTC) at the Mariners’ Compound, ALU-TUCP, Pier 1, Cebu City.
Led by Cardinal Ricardo Vidal, archbishop emeritus of Cebu, Archbishop Ramon Arguelles of the Archdiocese of Lipa, Archbishop Romulo de la Cruz of the Archdiocese of Zamboanga City, and Bishop Juan de Dios Pueblos of Butuan City, the Assembly was also attended by various leaders of the United Church of Christ of the Philippines, the Ustadz from Mindanao as well as various sectoral and professional leaders, elements of the MILF, led by Ed Kabalu and MNLF, leading educators from the RVM Sisters and Daughters of Charity, and various civic organizations.
The Cebu Assembly of the NTC, which featured the signing of the 4-page NTC document, echoed the call of Cardinal Vidal and the other bishops for President Aquino to step down from office, for as Cardinal Vidal had stressed in his talk, “(The President) has damaged the moral fabric of society and therefore has lost the moral right to lead the nation.”
This was the same call and the same message issued to then President Ferdinand Marcos in the mid-eighties demanding his resignation by reason of his having lost his moral right for destroying the moral fabric of society by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines led by its then president, Archbishop Vidal.
The Cebu prelate said: “We noted with great pain that while the moral and spiritual crisis and its political and economic effects continued to deepen, the national political leadership consistently failed to show the will or the capacity to respond to these ills in any appreciable measure.”
Vidal said Aquino has “subverted and violated the Constitution by corrupting Congress, intimidating the Judiciary, taking over the Treasury, manipulating the automated voting system, and perverting the constitutional impeachment process.”
It will be recalled that, to get then Chief Justice Renato Corona impeached by the House of Representatives, and on an overkill of numbers, Aquino had bribed the legislators with soft and hard projects in the hundreds of millions funded by the unconstitutional and illegal Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP), wherein the Supreme Court had ruled that the acts committed by the creator, implementor and others involved cannot be washed away by claiming good faith, saying that good faith must be proved in a court of law.
To get the Chief Justice convicted by the Senate, Aquino was said to have bribed the senators with hundreds of millions to convict Corona, also through the DAP.
Aquino has also been threatening the justices of the Supreme Court after it ruled that acts committed from the DAP, as unconstitutional and illegal.
There have also been serious allegations of Aquino and his Commission on Elections (Comelec) having rigged the 2013 senatorial elections, with the proof being the 60-30-10 voting pattern nationwide favoring his nine senatorial candidates, which voting pattern is statistically impossible. Also, it has been found that there were invisible vertical lines in the ballots intended to invalidate the votes of the opposition candidates.
It will be recalled that Aquino’s aunt in law, Tingting Cojuangco, earlier bared that there was cheating during the 2013 senatorial polls, saying that her nephew, President Aquino, was aware of the cheating, and even gave an unnamed general P30 million “to clean up” the evidence of electoral fraud.
Of the electoral fraud, Vidal’s statement read: The total absence of any official effort to reform the automated election system, which was thoroughly corrupted and debased by the Commission on Elections in its effort to produce “machine-made” and “de facto” high government officials during the 2010 presidential and the 2013 senatorial elections, but which the administration is once again preparing to use in the projected 2016 presidential elections, without restoring the safety features and accuracy mechanisms, which the Comelec had illegally removed in the previous two elections.”
The Cebu Church leader, who said he received a congratulatory message of support from the current Archbishop of Cebu Jose Palma, who is currently in Rome on official visit, stressed to the Cebu Assembly that the transformation efforts are aimed toward correcting the “political dysfunctions” that the nation is currently witnessing and that these are “mere symptoms of the problems, but more importantly, the roots of the crisis as well.”
Aside from calling on President Aquino to step down from office, the Cebu Assembly also called for the prosecution and punishment of the politicians who were involved in the misuse and abuse of the PDAF and the DAP that run into P150 billion, as well as the establishment of a “People’s Truth Commission” to determine and unravel the accountability and any consequent liability of high officials of the Aquino Administration.
Vidal also slammed Aquino, saying: “The total failure, if not downright refusal, of the Aquino regime to comply with a direct order of the Supreme Court to file criminal charges against all the lawmakers and members of the executive department and the Commission on Audit who were involved in the grave misuse of the priority development assistance fund (PDAF) and the DAP, both of which the court had unanimously declared unconstitutional.”
While three opposition senators and their aides were charged, none of the allies of Aquino nor his secretaries, such as Budget chief, Florencio “Butch” Abad and others were charged. Instead, they were all absolved by Aquino.
The Assembly, a direct successor of the Lipa Declaration launched in Lipa last Aug. 27, 2014, also called on the abolition of the “utterly corrupt” Comelec and the establishment of an honest and credible electoral system needed to restore the integrity and credibility of the electoral process and provide a systems change toward national transformation. It also demanded the revamp of the badly discredited Philippine National Police.
In calling for the removal of all the officials of the government from the President down, who are found guilty of culpability, the Cebu Assembly called upon the NTC to immediately organize an alternative government of men and women of integrity and proven worth, to run the government so as to prevent a political vacuum. –

moonie says
he, he, ricardo vidal will probably hung himself in frustration. he cannot tell binay to be like jesus christ and face his accusers instead of running away to far flung places. jesus christ himself personally confronted the sellers in the temple and threw their wares away, lectured them too. things that binay can never do.
I’m sick of ricardo vidal telling, always telling people whats he wants done like he is god. it’s no wonder he is rarely obeyed.

gusto nang pairalin ang teknikalidad.
