Dear fellow members of Cyber Plaza Miranda,
I am right now rushing my articles for today’s deadline with South China Morning Post.
So please forgive me if I can’t update lengthilyright now.
UPDATE: as of 5:24 PM, October 22, 2014
You can read a portion of the transcript of the FOCAP forum by clicking here. It’s entitled President Aquino told me he’s prepared to go to jail if “we’re back to an unjust judicial system” after his term.
I’ve included those portions about Aquino’s meeting with Vice-President Jejomar Binay, his attitude towards threat of critics to have him arrested and jailed after his term; and how he keeps tabs on social media postings like Facebook.
During this morning’s Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines forum with President Benigno Aquino among the questions I was able to ask him was the following:
VP Binay’s spokesperson Jonvic Remulla said the President had “asked about (Binay’s) family and the Vice President replied that the family was hurting from all the lies and baseless accusations, especially [against his wife).” Remulla said“At this point, the President asked how he can help or ‘paano ako makakatulong?’”
Is this true?
I was referring to the recent over-an-hour long conversation between Vice President Binay and President Aquino.
PNoy basically told me that what actually happened was “the reverse” of what the Binay camp disclosed to the press. He told me:
“I didn’t offer to help.”
It was VP Binay who had asked him for advice, he added.
More on the forum later.
Gotta rush now.

If one tells you that a President could stop the wang-wang’s and jail a former President for corruption and a Chief Justice for corruption and a former President of the Senate for corruption and an Ombudsman that resigned because of her corruption, and a Vice President for corruption??? Then you would never believe it!
Is this happening here? Just imagine, knowing that a fish stars rotting at its head!!!
Buy Philippine stocks now!!! (although we heard Sy’s name mentioned too in Binay’s case…)
I also hasten to add two more similarities:
a. the love of real estate
b. a wandering eye (to which Binay has admitted to and claimed it is long over)
About the Horses … Remulla did mention the Binay breed dogs (in tagalog “Tuta”)
look at his dogs now, they kept barking
The problem is not so much with Remulla’s ability being the spokesperson but rather on the situation he is in which is defending the indefensible or covering a lie. The moment he put forward details of argument to make a position looks true, he expose himself to requiring to put more details to cover the ever expanding positions/situations. To defend a lie, he have to concoct lies, half-lies and half-truths that requires their own defense for them to be considered truthful. Its a loss-loss scenario for Remulla.
Many questions but one so far answered and – BINAY ASKED FOR ADVICE!
‘Binay to Boss: I am in trouble, BIG trouble. What should I do?’
‘Boss to Binay: Hold it! Stop asking me that! I want t know WHY YOU ATTACKED ME and my administration?”
‘Binay to Boss: I forgot Boss…I thought I am already the president of the Philippines thinking it is June 30, 2016!’
‘Boss to Binay: huh?
I just read that news flash in Inquirer online. Sabi ko na nga ba that question came from you. I wonder how will the Binay camp extricate themselves from this one?
Actually, vp binay asked PNoy for endorsement in the 2016 presidential election. He reiterated his request to linda jumilla at last night’s ABS-CBN interview.
Rappler today headlines that binay hopes PNoy will endorse him in 2016 citing close family ties since Cory’s time.
Nognog seems desperate due to plummeting survey ratings and the never-ending senate sub-committee hearings on his alleged ill-gotten wealth.
aasa pa.
epal naman talaga.
tinalampak na kaya siya noong last sona ni pnoy.
na kanyang itataas ang kamay ng taong magpapatuloy na tuwid na daan.
hindi naman niya sinabing tuwad na daan.
BINAY LIKES BUROLS AND WANG WANG, PNOY DOESN’T
http://globalnation.inquirer.net/113191/aquino-on-attending-laude-wake-i-dont-attend-wakes-of-people-i-dont-know/
Now that’s a refreshing trait. No wang wang, and then this.
E si Binay? That;s one of this trademarks – visiting wakes of people he doesnt know, giving them abuloy and expecting something in return. And he would want a return to wang wang.
That’s because the dead don’t ask embarrassing questions.
Those dead people can become ghost employees in Makati, and then ghost voters in 2016.
kaya nga siya pumupunta sa lamay para makuha ang pangalan ng mga patay para gawing ghost employees and voters.
Speaking of ghosts. Where is longtime aid GL? Perhaps lounging on a foreign beach somewhere, or, perhaps a little farther out sleeping with the fishes?
aha!
kaya pala.
e di wala palang namamatay?
may pakinabang nga.
una, botante,
ikalawa, 15-30…
galing mo @Den…
e di po ba naman patay ang gusto ng mga buwitre?
I once played chicken with a wang wang convoy. It was along Gilmore Street and they were doing a counterflow. Mind you it was past 10pm at night and there was very little traffic. I initially refused to give way out of principle. I gave in though since my companions said it wasn’t worth the trouble. I absolutely hate wang wangs of self important politicos.
VP – Mr. President, I’m in deep doo-doo. What should I do?
P – Well, just tell the truth and you’ll be okay.
VP – LOL. You’re kidding, right?
lol na lol!
Just posted part of the transcript of the focap forum –

Binay to Lynda Jumilla on Beyond Politics:
“Yung COA report on overpricing sa hospital equipment, hindi yan ang nagdedetermine ng guilt. Nasa court yan.”
JV Bautista in Senate hearing on Cayetano’s presentation of evidence:
“That will not be accepted as evidence in court. ”
Translation of Binay and Bautista’s statements: Sa korte kayang lutuin yan. LOL
kaya na yan sa basketball court.
dribble, freeze.
freeze, dribble.
last 2 minutes.

nag-shoot.
2016.
panalo.
next game.
revanse.
and he ruled ever after.
“He maybe a plain dummy – he can not even remember when the payment was made.”
Tiu is plain dumb.
he is not dumb.
looking at him, he is shrewd.
confident?
he was assure nothing bad is coming to him as long as he shields.
he is sent as a cover.
Please let me summarize your last paragraph: THE PHILIPPINE SENATE AT ITS BEST…EVER !
Aspiring lawyers and lawmakers should watch the proceedings and learn from it. The proceedings Is described with three golden words: Excellent, Effective, Explosive.
Tony Tiu was requested to submit copy of the contract and he already agreed to do so,
Let us look forward to the results of the “visit / inspection” of the Senators to he farm tomorrow. Sen. Trillanes was naughty enough to schedule the visit immediately as soon as Sen. Cayetano got the nod of Tony Tiu.
wow. I missed this.
hayaan mo, mag youtube na lang akko.
Can anyone provide me a link to today’s hearing? Thanks.
Here you go, Raissa: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wr-G9gU49tE
It’s in the part where they were discussing about the eleven million downpayment.
Sorry but this was supposed to be a reply to comment 14.1 above but it somehow shoed up down here.
Including two off-shore ( no taxes, no tariffs ) companies in the British Virgin Islands which is just another way to hide money.
oh my God! how i love to watch the tv show “American Greed” in youtube. Ang mga nangyayari doon, mga tunay na pangyayari sa America ng mga mayayaman at manggugulang. Ang nangyayari ngayon kay Tiu, Binay, Sy ay makikita niyo sa mga episodes. Ganyan na ganyan. Ang pagkakaiba nga lang, kahit ano pa ang gawin ng mga financial scammers sa America, nahuhuli din kahit gaano ka powerful at kayayaman ng mga ito.
also, the link between Tiu and Binay has been established via campaign contributions. There was also the log cabin in Highlands, who Binay says he is “renting” but he (or his wife, she signed it) is paying for membership dues. As far as I know, Highlands (or any highly exclusive clubs) is strict when it comes to membership. Can anyone verify this?
Mercado presented all the checks issued for payment of the logwood cabin as well as the note from Gerry Limlingan to make the checks payable to Henry Sy, Jr.
One of the manager’s check application was also presented showing that the buyer of the MC is Gerry Limlingan whose address is the same address as that of the VP in Makati City.
It will be difficult to get a credible information from Tagaytay Highlands regarding Binay’s supposed ownership of one log cabin. Willy Ocier, who spoked for Tagaytay Highlands, is a well known crony of Erap Estrada. Remember Erap’s plunder conviction? This Ocier was instrumental in that case.
So, since Binay is currently allied with Erap, expect Ocier to make things covered for Binay.
If Belle Corporation will not provide information, then probably the Senate Blue RibbonCommittee can subpoena Henry Sy, Jr. because the checks were made out to his name, based on the written instructions of Gerry Limlingan to M1.
ANG NORMAL SANA BAGO KA MAGKA INTEREST BILHIN KUNG ANO MANG IMPROVEMENTS MERON DYAN UNAHIN MO MUNA ANG LUPA. Dito baligtad eh, he didn’t care kung kanino raw ang lupa basta may usapan sila ni Gregorio at ang nag arrange si Subido na trusted bestfriend nya.
Mr. Antonio Tiu appears to be willing to GO TO JAIL for perjury when his calibrated story is confirmed A LIE and full of cans of worms.
Proceed on this Senate probe then to its final and complete end.
If I were VP BInay, I’d rather GET ALL OF THE P446M and go to jail than GO TO JAIL and get only P11M…
The Tiu-story is a rotten fish 4 SALE. Don’t buy it.
fee cut tiu…
Nawawala ang bangis ng Abs Cbn pag issue na patungkol kay VP Binay ang pinag uusapan. Bakit kaya?
itanong kay boy tonyo at ted etong, bakeeet?
napansin nyo rin pala? kaming mag-asawa talagang nagtaka bakit ni live coverage ng hearing wala ang abs cbn, mabuti pa ngayon ang GMA nilalabas nila lahat.
The whole hearing was televised on Abs-Cbn’s Cable TV ch. 26 (TV Patrol) and ch. 27 (ANC).
You can also go to the website of the Senate. Livestreaming on day of hearing.
Akala ko ako din lang ang nakakapansin nito, that sonething is not quite right in abs-cbn handling of the news, sometimes the reporter will even give extra mileage in explaining the side of Binay & tiu. Not only this but they dont ask the difficult/hard questions. But I wasn’t sure if I am the one that is biased.
@ Coram…
Same thing with Philstar and their opinion writers, except Atty. Sison and Bobit Avila. No comment silang lahat. Why? Is it martial law feeling at Philstar on order ot the majority owner? Scared of the BINAYaran dynasty!

I have a question I know that Raissa answered this with the interview she did with the VP but I noticed that it popped up again in the senate hearing, according to Riassa the VP bought the land for his piggery and supposedly sold it in 2010, but according to senator Cayetano he only leased the land but he then went on to say that the VP sold the land ???? my question is lets suppose VP did only lease the land how could he then go on and sell it ????
