Here is the full video of the Question and Answer portion of President Benigno Aquino’s forum with the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines (FOCAP).
FOCAP would welcome a similar forum with Vice-President Jejomar Binay.
My questions are 30 minutes into the forum.
The man beside the President who looks like a bodyguard is actually FOCAP president Manny Mogato of Reuters.
The hunk in eyeglasses on the right side of the video above is Joel Guinto, formerly with Bloomberg and now with Agence France Pressse (AFP).
I’d like to thank FOCAP colleague Melo Acuña, correspondent for China Radio International, for posting the link to this video on Facebook.

Batangas city assessor RHEA HERNANDEZ should also be investigated because of her statements in this video from TV Patrol. She was the one from 1994 who checks the Batangas property and yet she doesn’t know the actual number of structures/piggery?

At 3:27 Carolyn Bonquin: “ilan po ang building ang nasa loob ma’am?”
Rhea Hernandez replied: “Mga ta-tatlo.”
Imposible namang hindi niya makita na lampas sa sampu yung mga buildings for piggery at ang nabilang niya lang is tatlo.
The Senate blue ribbon committee decided to subpoena the Mayor of Rosario and the municipal assessor who issued the tax declarations on the structures inside the Hacienda Binay aka as Sunchamp Properties or Plantation of Tiu.
Malaki talaga potential ni Tiu… mas magaling siyang magpalusot kesa ke Corona… straight-faced pa siya at agad=agad sasabihin “I am not lying”, “I am a legitimate businessman”, My companies are public companies listed in the stock exchange, I have to protect the interests of my family…
etc. etc. etc…
His other favorite phrases are “that is standard practice” and “we are working on that”.
Oh what tight webs we weave when at first we do deceive!!
“Oh well…”
Did not end well for Tiu…
“Yun lang…”
The favorite sentence ending of Trillanes!
Talagang dapat bawal ang baril sa Senado, eh ubos na ang pasensya ni
Thrilland Godzilla,gusto ng baonan si Tiupapers ng bala!
“Yun lang…”
:)
Talagang nakakapanlabo ng mata kapag mayroong nakatakip na “ENVELOPE” at ang nasa loob ay nakangiting litrato nina Jose Abad Santos, Vicente Lim at Josefa Escoda.
On the other hand, during her inspection…maaari ding pinamili siya sa dalawang bagay: Fat envelope or Colt 45??? Kawawa din naman iyong mga karaniwang government employee, kapag ang nakasagupa mo ay High Class Politicians or Generals. Kapag hindi ka nakisama… sapak ka sa puwesto.
Pucha, may potential pala itong si Tiu sa pulitika!
Senatorial contender!
——-
I bet Tiu can pass the polygraph anytime with flying colors!
A potential CIA recruit!
Edgar you are Correct!
Parang si Perry Mason si Cayetano!
Litigation 101!
Next time, I am waiting the attributiion to your Kubetagate! If the Senate forget to mention that, then they will miss the Nixonian pin!
Pati ako nadadala sa mga kaganapan sa senado kanina.
Magaling si Sen. Cayetano at bagay na bagay sa kanya ang responsibilities na ito.
Imagine na lang kung ang andito na kasama ni Sen. Koko ay si Sen. Binay, Sen, Lapid?
Ano kaya mangyayari?
Makatulog tayo sa boredom?
Mainis tayo sa mga walang katorya-toryang tanong?
Magalit tayo kapag bitin ang sagot?
Kaya sa inyung tatlong Senadors… ipagpatuloy nyo yan. Marami sa aming mga mamayan ang natututo sa mga issue na ganito.
Mabuhay kayo!
Raissa knew she had it coming. I mean the senate hot seat. And she was well prepared, relaxed and straightforward. Raissa has an excellent mentor and collaborator in Alan.
“Raissa must authenticate her digital files before the senate to serve as object evidence against Binay.”

at last we see raissa in action. senate finally acknowledge her and cpm’ers opinions and factfinding. more power, more traffic, more opinions and factfinding and more readers to raissa and cpm. freedom of information in action here
Problema at Solusyon
P- patong-patong na problema
S- tambakan mo ng greeting cards tatak hillmark
P- malalim at marumi na ang problema parang tubig sa ilog pasig
S- gumamit ka ng tiulie
Finally saw you, Raissa, in action! Excellent job…!
In all fairness to the researchers of the Senators, their evidence are good and corroboratory, but Raissa’s Binaylease tapes is the only admission of ownership and more damning and damaging!
Binay’s oracle told him that his Presidential ambition will be shot down by a Little Lady, a mole. Binay ask for any distinct signs of that Lady so he can avoid her. The oracle said, kahit maliit sya, meron syang something dark, near his mouth and when you see her testify, you will be distracted by her dark, round, and prominent mole…
“Taling the truth!”
Kudos again Little Lady!
I absolutely agree.
I’m extra proud of our Raissa appearing in national television as a resource person to bolster the claim that the binays really own a controversial high-end hacienda in Rosario, Batangas despite the spirited but incredible assertion of tony Tiu that he’s the real owner thereof.
Despite her midget size, she looks ten feet tall to me.
midget?
Oops wrong choice of word – should have been bantam-size
Of course, I will say, together with Kim, you were giants out there.
Kudos, @raissa.
wow gorgeous din pala si little lady,
I wonder if the Senate Inquisitors have ever considered to employ the lies detector test / truth serum to ferret out the truth from Tiu and cohorts and the forthcoming debate between Binay and AT4. They can also these methodologies to the corrupt senators.
Out of curiosity i tried to google the name Joanna Marie Bianca Binay and the first one that will appear is a libel case filed by her parents against Genivi V. Factao and Vicente G. Tirol.
The SC decision G.R. No. 170643.
In fairness to Tiu, he is a very trusting person. He trusted everything to Binay because Binay is a scout and a scout trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. He he he.
I am not familiar with the rules of the Senate, but as I recall Tiu is supposed to be under oath but he has been caught lying several times already. Why are his lies being tolerated? Shouldn’t a perjury charge be slapped on him already? So when will they charge him with perjury and throw him in a lockup? That should erase that smug smirk on his face.
Kung may advanced na teknolohiya lang sana ang pilipinas tulad ng amerika dapat ipa forensic analysis yung original na MOA na sinubmit ni Tiu sa senado. Kung sa amerika yan, sigurado huli na si tiu na ginawa nya lang ito nung isang linggo. In short, malamang peke ang dokumento.
