PNoy also answered questions about his meeting with Vice President Jejomar Binay and about Facebook 

This portion of the transcript of President Benigno Aquino’s forum with the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines  was kindly provided to me by Rey Marfil, the presidential assistant secretary for media relations. 

I’m still rushing my South China Morning Post article for today so I can’t write in detail right now. 

but I’m sure you all would like to read this portion of the raw transcript. 

– Raissa 

Ms. Robles: With all the investigations and arrest of high-profile personalities your government has undertaken, your critics have openly said they intend to charge you and have you arrested, especially on PDAF (Priority Development Assistance Fund) and DAP—I mean, on DAP—the moment you step down from office. How do you feel about such threats? And are these threats what is behind getting you a new term of office as president?

PRESIDENT AQUINO: Are the threats behind the moves to get me a new term?

Ms. Robles: Yes. And how do you feel about such threats? That they are going to jail you and arrest you once you step down.

PRESIDENT AQUINO: The threats come with the job. Meron namang physical threats. They’ll remove me before I even end my term or that they will file all of these charges. They have the right to file a complaint, I guess. I have the right also to file complaints against them for malicious lawsuits, which I can do when I’m a civilian and no longer in this position, as opposed to now that I have to tolerate all of the insults and cynicism because I have to rise above the fray. Siguro… We were abroad and there were our leftist friends who said Butch Abad and I stole the people’s money. So I think I will… I will… The only answer to that is ‘look at the people who benefited from DAP and ask them if they agree with the proposition that the benefits they enjoyed from DAP should have been delayed, or should have been foregone, and they will I think be the best testament to the effectivity of the program, and to the sincerity of the intentions there.’ Now, with regards to the threats, the critics are the same. I don’t think they are multiplying. I think that they’re even, in certain sense, diminishing. And even before I got into this office, I guess one day they will probably say I am somehow related to the people who executed Jose Rizal. But, you know, that’s part and parcel of the territory. So—

Ms. Robles: You said your attitude, sir, is ‘be prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.’

PRESIDENT AQUINO: Yes.

Ms. Robles: But what if a, you know, a new government comes up that is not allied to you? Are you prepared to go to jail for that?

PRESIDENT AQUINO: Am I prepared to what?

Ms. Robles: To go to jail. I mean, to be arrested.

PRESIDENT AQUINO: I guess the best way to answer that is all the decisions I made were never spur of the moment. They were well studied and arising from the best advice I could get from various sectors. Now, at the end of the day, I think I can defend all of the decisions that we did make. That doesn’t mean that all of the decisions were perfect. No, that will be incorrect to say. It will be an impossibility for an imperfect being to come up with perfect decisions all the time. So all I’m saying is we can defend each and every decision that we have done, and if there is an underlying question to that—that I was vindictive in the previous administration—no. There has… There was a wrong…

There is a difference between wrong and right, and if we do not fight that which is wrong, then we allow it to exist and we might even be nurturing it to continue its harmful effects on our people. That is the thing that we are trying to do. People that were brought up on charges have their corresponding evidences before and these are for the appreciation of the courts. So these are not… It’s not a question of sloganeering or semantics. At the end of the day, we committed to doing the best for our people and ‘yung the truth will be our greatest shield if and when we are called to action or we’re called to address any and all of these supposed issues against us.

Ms. Robles: So you are prepared to go—to be arrested and jailed if ever?

PRESIDENT AQUINO: If that is a… If there is a situation where we’re back to an unjust judicial system, then that is a necessary consequence.

Ms. Robles: I see. Sir—just last—Vice President (Jejomar) Binay’s spokesperson Jonvic Remulla said the President had asked about Binay’s family and the Vice President replied the family was hurting from all the lies and baseless accusations, especially against his wife. And then, Remulla is being quoted as saying ‘at this point, the President asked, how can he help or paano ako makakatulong.’ Sir, is this true? And what other requests, if any, did the Vice President ask of you that evening?

PRESIDENT AQUINO: ‘Yung I asked of his family, I think ‘yung… The rec[ord]—Well, there’s no record, there were two of us talking. Pero he mentioned… It was… He stated the fact that Dra. (Elenita) Binay was hurting from all of this. I didn’t ask about the family. He volunteered the information. The person who did what, I guess, with all due respect to the person, I think he had it reversed. He had it in reverse.

Ms. Robles: Please clarify, sir.

PRESIDENT AQUINO: Well, let me go back to you question. I inquired about his family? No, the Vice President told me about his family. What was the second part that he was being quoted on?

Ms. Robles: You said… The spokesperson said quoting you… I mean—

PRESIDENT AQUINO: Sige, I remember na—

Ms. Robles: He said ‘at this point, the President asked how can he help or paano ako makakatulong.’

PRESIDENT AQUINO: Well, baka naman the reverse is actually true. The Vice President was saying, you know, ‘yung… He was asking advice, for instance, on what to do. So I didn’t offer to help. He asked for advice on what—how to handle the situation amongst other things.

Ms. Robles: So you didn’t offer to help him?

PRESIDENT AQUINO: It was the Vice President who actually initiated the meeting. He texted me and asked if he could see me and I said ‘yes.’ I readily agreed, and to put the matter correctly on the record—there have been so many speculations—we never had a meeting in Malacañang. We had a meeting in Bahay Pangarap where I reside. This at night—about 9:00, 9:30, or thereabouts—lasting past midnight.

Ms. Robles: Just curious, sir—the other question that I had—did he make any other requests? Because what has come out in the news and what you said was that he apparently requested that you talk to the Senate President. But where there other requests that he made?

PRESIDENT AQUINO: In fairness, with regards to the Senate, he was saying ‘yung the normal processes are the Ombudsman investigates and if there evidence—if the evidence so warrants, then the Ombudsman brings it to the Sandiganbayan. So he was saying, ‘is it possible for the Senate to terminate their inquiry in aid of legislation, given the fact that the proper forum would be the Ombudsman’s office?’ And I said, we’ll inquire from the Senate President. I think the things that I mentioned more or less encompass everything that was discussed, except perhaps to reminisce about the times when we started our relationship during the snap elections.

In case you don’t know, the Vice President and I worked together at the start of EDSA. We were in Makati thanking the volunteers who tried to guard the ballots in Makati. That’s where we first heard the news. He actually escorted me back to our residence in Times where I got my siblings and brought them to a safer location. Present in all of the coups, in defending my mom’s administration as mayor of Makati, and then parang philosophies also—how to govern, et cetera.

So he actually stated a point, and I hope I am not violating any confidence, where he stated the… ‘Yung—I’ll say it in Tagalog first—‘tanggap ko na magkaiba tayo sa pulitika pero magkaibigan tayo.’ ‘Yung perhaps the way we handle our politics and our styles, et cetera, might be different; our routes towards that which we want to attain will also be different; but, at the end of the day, he still acknowledges that we are friends.

Ms. Robles: Sir, do you ever go on Facebook?

PRESIDENT AQUINO: I have staff who handles the Facebook. If you remember, my phone was supposed to be hacked a while back, and to be honest, parang… In a space of minutes, there 500 or a thousand messages coming in. Parang I couldn’t read the message that was—we were trying to read because there were so many notifications and everything else. I would want to be able to go and answer directly on Facebook or on Twitter. Manolo Quezon here handles it for me, in the sense that he gets general guidelines on these are particular trends, these are particular questions that are being asked, how would you like us to answer it? Pero ‘yung just answering each individual, you know, is kind of impossible.

Just to give you ano… I tried to play around with it when they halved the full. There were some messages that I felt really needed action, but I was wondering if my answering them will lead to, you know, a lot more text messages and not all of them were worth reading. If, for instance, merong text na: “Hai.” So, sabi ko, ano kaya ‘yung ‘hai’? So I guess that’s a stylized ‘hi.’ Now, just to clear it out, one percent of our population is one million; then even, ‘di ba, 10 percent of that 100,000; times one minute to answer each one of them, ‘di 100,000 minutes kaagad ‘yon. So, at the end of the day, parang hindi (ko) yata kayang sagutin lahat ito. So that’s how we tried to handle it both on—Manolo, we’re on Facebook; we’re on Twitter. How about the other one? ‘Yung favorite ni Sonny—Instagram.

Ms. Robles: Sir, just an observation, 25 million Filipinos are on Facebook now. I mean, I was asking, do you surf? I mean, you don’t have to answer, but do you look at what is on Facebook?

PRESIDENT AQUINO: They actually provide me hard copies of various comments—both positive and negative. Do I surf? Sometimes… Actually, it’s my assistant, si Jun, behind me—Asec. Delantar—who I ask to research particular topics. For instance, yesterday we were talking about lighthouses that are needed in the country. So I asked him to research on the ferry mishap in South Korea. So, basically, yeah. I tend to ask the staff to do the surfing for me to get the relevant data that I’m looking for.

    It struck me that (as pictures were presented during the hearing )wnen ever the Binays invite people at the hacienda, Rambotito is clad in camouflage military uniform. Is this an omen when he rules the land by 2016?

    Merriam-Webster defines camouflage as a way of hiding something by painting it or covering it with leaves or branches to make it hard to see.
    (As it appears, Binay’s transactions are so camouflaged)

      Malaki rin ang unconstitutional, kung sadya nga bang unconstitutional ang mga ito, na bahagi ng DAP. Technical malversation ang unang maikakaso sa sinumang lumabag sa Batas. May karampatang parusa ayon sa Kodigo Penal…

    Binay accepts Trillanes debate if Trillanes will bring evidence of the charges that he owns Hacienda Binay.

    Trillanes must accept the challenge provided Binay also brings hard evidence including photographs of meetings of people he accused as conspirators of “Oplan Stop Nognog in 2016” since it was his spokesman Joey Salgado who first alerted the media on this Oplan Nognog. Trillanes should also challenge Binay to open all his bank accounts including his books on his income and any notarized papers of the piggery. Of course Binay is baiting Trillanes for libelous charge but if Binay is an honest person he must promise he will not file charges on anybody after the debate.

    Binay’s camp also said that he will face a full Blue Ribbon Committee only and Sen Guingona accepted the challenge of Binay’s camp.

    Joey Salgado now says they will accept only the Blue Ribbon invitation after the debate with Trillanes.

    Binay’s camp will be the first to blink with the conditions.

    Bring them on, Binay

    Antonio Tiu portrays himself as humble but as he goes along with his answers he exudes cockiness feeling that he could fool the Filipinos watching him, aside from the senators.

    He says Black River Capital is under US SEC rule and including his Sunchump and Green energy companies are publicly listed companies.

    Maybe US based Filipinos familiar with stock exchanges and SEC rules would send all the video interviews including his senate testimony to Atty General in any state to investigate his companies if dealing with fraudulent transactions like claiming he bought the property for 446 million and withdrawing hundreds of millions of pesos if account belongs to public corporation.

    • chit navarro says

      October 23, 2014 at 5:22 AM

      YES, he was quite arrogant hiding on the buzzwords of:

      “owned by one of the largest agricultural company in the world -”

      “good governance”

      “as long as its profitable”…

      “we are a publicly liusted company”

      but wait until Sen. Cayetano showed the relationship of the companies and directors to one another and that the money going around the companies just come from one source….

      check out his facial expression

      and when he was presented with financial statements, etc. filed with SEC, BIR.

      It would have been better if he did not at all show up. (Better for the BInays, of course)

      LESS TALK – LESS MISTAKE.

      Now, the senators even got an invite to inspect and visit the farm…

    PNoy’s DAP as constitutional violation- My Analogy

    Ms. Robles: So you are prepared to go—to be arrested and jailed if ever?
    PRESIDENT AQUINO: If that is a… If there is a situation where we’re back to an unjust judicial system, then that is a necessary consequence.

    My take on PNoy’s DAP is this:

    Yung analogy na merong emergency na yung Taong Bayan ay naghihingalo at kailangan nyang dalhin sa ospital para magkaron ng heart tansplant (bagong pamamalakad at palitan ang mahinang puso-mga kurap- na nagpapaphirap huminga sa Taong Bayan) malapatan ng lunas. Sa pagkakataon na yun (his administration) sya lang ang pag-asa ng Taong Bayan para madala yung pasyenteng Taong Bayan sa ospital.

    Nagmaneho sya patungong opsital. Hatinggabi at walang masyadong gumagamit ng daan. May mga traffic lights at huminto sya sa red light (Sumunod sa batas). Tumingin sya sa kaliwa at kanan, wala namang ibang sasakyan. Tiningnan nya ang pasyente nya at naghihingalo. Pumalit yung kulay ng ilaw ng traffic light sa berde at nag-patuloy na humarurot. Sa sunod na traffic light, pula ulit at nag coasting lang sya pero nong mapansin nya na wala namang sasakyang iba at yung Taong Bayan na naghihingalo ay mukhang delikado na, eh humarurut sya at nilabag ang batas (DAP). Kaso di pala nya napansin meron din namang nag-overspeeding at nasagi nya at nasira ang sasakyan (Konstitusyon at mga Justice) pero buhay ang mga pasahero. Kung hihinto sya baka mamatay yung pasyente at hindi makapag-heart transplant kaya tinuloy nya. Nakarating sa ospital at nadala sa emergency room ang pasyente(Taong Bayan) at napalitan ng puso (Napalitan yung mga kurap na nagpapahirap sa Taong Bayan). Nagkaron ng panibagong pagkakataon yung Taong Bayan na makaron ng bagon puso. Under recovery ngayon.

    Yung nasagi ni PNoy ay may galos lang, pero may lumapit na ambulance chaser na abogado (Oposisyon at mga Kurap) na sulsulan yung nasagi(Constitution at SC) na sampahan ng kaso si PNoy dahil sa violation sa trapiko na nasagi yung isang kotse at iniwan pa.

    So yun ang burden ni PNoy. Nag violate sya ng batas para maisalba ang Taong Bayan at magkaron ng panibagong puso at pagkakataon na makarecover sa buong buhay nyang naghirap sa kapansan na mahinang puso (Kurapsyon at bulokj na pamamalakad). Under observation pa ang pasyente (Taong Bayan) at dapat bantayan 24 oras para hindi ma-infect ng virus (Binay at mga kurap). Pero ang mga pamilya at kaibigan( Tayong mga Netizens at mga concern na kababaya) ng pasyente ang nagbabantay para mapadali ang recovery sa transplant (Baluktot na daan sa Tuwid na Daan) ay vigilant.

    History will judge Aquino kung tama ang desisyon nya na nilabag nya ang batas dahil a matter of life and death na ang pasyenteng Taong Bayan…

    Now you’ll be the judge!

Kung baga sa english WHATEVER IT TAKES, WHATEVER WILL HAPPEN HE (PNOY) IS DOING THE RIGHT AND NATURAL INSTINCT OF A HUMAN TO SAVE LIVES THAT IS BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH (NAGHIHINGALO SA ATTAKE SA PUSO)
      Tulad po ng isang doctor na nasa ibang hospital na hindi nya nasasakupan at nagkataon na may taong inatake pero dahil walang ibang nakakakita sa pangyayari, ang pagiging isang doctor ang umiral sa kanya upang bigyan ng pangunang lunas yung taong biglang inatake kahit wala syang karapatan sa ospital na yun.

      Maka ganti man sila at makilala ng iba. . . mahina daw sila sa dalawang departamento pero pag sila mag SALITA cerrado lahat ang BIBIG ng IBANG departamento! Kunwari lang yun. May EGO din sila.

      Be careful with the higher gods. . . when there are no clouds and the sky is clear. . . WATCH OUT! You can get a tvr ticket.

    “If that is a… If there is a situation where we’re back to an unjust judicial system, then that is a necessary consequence”

    What could he mean when he said “when we’re back to an unjust judicial system”?

    I find that statement a bit amusing though :)

      Does PNoy mean we have already a just judicial system? I beg to disagree.

      imo, he’s just conditioning the mind of the public in advance that if he will be jailed that it would be because the judicial system is “unjust”, not because he violated the law.

      foi and transparency would actually help his cause if he were right and innocent. but without these, it’s easier to be shifty and come up with all sorts of defense to look persecuted.

        If he and his cohorts will be jailed, it is not because of an unjust judicial system but it is because the STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH will never accept ends that justify the means.

        The flaw in PNoy’s “Daang Matuwid” is that he and his cohorts are automatically immune from criticisms and even charges of wrongdoings.

          si PNoy sobra ‘in-love’ kay Abad’s ideas…bakit kaya? Pati sa Batanes, so big ang PORK BARREL doon! Kaunti lang ang langgam doon.

          PNoy ‘di maka iwas sa PORK BARREL para sa mga LAWMAKERS! Bakit kaya? There are so many ‘departments’ in the Executive Dept. but yet loves to SHARE the FUNDS with LAWMAKERS just the same!

          Mind-shaking talaga! Takot ba siya? ‘O daming ‘baboy’ nya pinakaka-in?

    I think binay is the president of BSP… baka lang he has something on this?

    • Johnny Lin says

      October 22, 2014 at 10:25 PM

      Binay is overstaying BSP president 20 yrs. take note COA started auditing in 2012 only. Expect him to resign post in 2015 for political motive away from embezzlement of BSP funds.

      He is a combination creature of rat, leech, ant, and vulture.

      Where there is monetary anomaly Binay lingers eternally.

    Antonio Tiu according to his bio is a TOYM awardee of the Philippines, must be intelligent.

    Senator Cayetano told Tiu about Sunchamp, his company. “You bought 145 hectares without searching the the real owners of the land”. Tiu answered: “We established that Gregorio was legal owner of the land”. When Cayetano asked if he is Registered owner in Civil Registry of Deeds, Tiu refused to answer

    Tiu and Gregorio are both clients of the law firm of Abigail Binay. 3 of the lawyers in the law firm became directors of the board of Sunchamp AFTER apparent sale of property.

    Cayetano noted to Tiu ” how did this happen? Tiu answered: “it was coincidence only”

    Tiu is president, CEO and majority owner of the corporation. Company board of directors are selected not growing out of nowhere, meaning their appointments were premeditated not accidental.

    Foreign Stock Exchanges should investigate his publicly listed companies for fraudulent transactions.

    • Sam says

      October 22, 2014 at 9:41 PM

      it is highly irregular that Tiu or his company’s legal department not to check the true owners of the land. Paano yan, if later the title holders decided to resell their land (they definitely can do that since the land title shows that they are the rightful owners)

      Tiu was also caught flat when pemintel said that registration was supposed to be done 30days after the initial deposite…

      Smells so fishy that Sunchump with its high caliber lawyers didn’t know this …

      Coincidence? There’s no such thing as coincidence, so says Mark Harmon of famed NCIS!

      I say, coincidence my butt! Coin is densed! Mabigat marami coins! Barya barya ipunin mo,milyon milyon din yan. Pati nga yata BoySP nakulimbatan eh. Barya barya lang yon. Kaya nga pati BankoSP nauubusan na rin ng mga barya.

      @Parekoy,
      As Pres. Noy said himself: ” There is a difference between wrong and right, and if we do not fight that which is wrong, then we allow it to exist and we might even be nurturing it to continue its harmful effects on our people. That is the thing that we are trying to do.”

      @NanayPinay710, miss you nanay, tagal na rin kitang hindi nababasa rito ah. samahan kita sa pagbisita mo ha. once a month lang sa akin, malayo ako sa manila eh hehehe.

        @ rOSARIO, Mangyari wala akong alam sa BATAS. Eh ang lalalim ng usapang batas dito. Kaya puro basa na lang ako ng basa. Pero kung batas sa pangkaraniwang buhay nakikisundot din ako ng konti. Pero ipinapasa (SHARE) sa mga kilala ko ang mga commento nyo para maliwanagan din sila sa mga nangyayari.

          basahin mo yong kay sir rene, pag hindi ka mag nosebleed. nosebleed ako masyado sa pag intindi ng ARB nya.
          pero sa totoo lang, ang sarap ng palitan ng mga opinyon at kuro-kuro ng mga CPM dito kay Raissa, paunti-unti kahit papaano may natututuhan tayo. hindi lang sa pagiging up-to-date sa balita ganon na rin sa samut-saring mga opinyon at kuro-kuro na nagpapaliwanag lalo sa atin. may mga makata, mga jokers, but most, very knowledgeable opinion masters with links pa ha.

MATATAAS PA NAMAN ANG KANILANG KATINGKULAN MGA WALANG KAHIHIYAAN SILA.

      Chinese, pure or half, loves ‘coincidence’ happening, as created by Chinese actors!

      Coincidence. When innocently asked, the Chinese actor answers: coincidence!

      Palusot yan. Scrape his skin some more and you’ll know the whole story. Don’t let him sleep or eat but go on.
