Just asking
By Raïssa Robles
Elaborate preparations that took all of overnight were made for today’s rally seeking to unseat Vice-President Leni Robredo.
You can watch the preparations here:
Set Up for tomorrow rally
Posted by CinEmotion Digital Films on Saturday, April 1, 2017
I’m wondering how much the preparations all cost – complete with a large stage, air-conditioned tents, a sophisticated sound and light system and of course dancing girls.
Everyone has the right to stage rallies.
However, the public also has the right to know who is paying for this particular rally, given that employees of the Tourism Promotion Board filed a complaint against their Chief Operating Officer Cesar Montano for, among others, using state funds to stage the pro-Rodrigo Duterte rally last month. They accused Montano (once my favorite local actor) of using P16.5 million of our tax money for that rally.
This time, let’s start by finding out how much that set up cost. And who is footing the bill.
You can help by dialling the following numbers pasted on the delivery truck and asking them about it.
duquemarino says
‘Mukhang Usog’ had in her blog “palit bise”
Who would the palit bise be? Bong2
Who can afford to finance such rally other than the government? Bong2

That reminds me of something I’ve forgotten to post. A few months ago, Mocha visited Imee in Ilocos.

I bet this outfits been advised already on what to reply in case someone asks :) you seem to be inside the the circle. Pathetic.
Ellen Mariano says
Madam, forgive me if my question is off tangent, but I read somewhere that their candidate for replacement (BBM) is in rehab..would you know if there is truth to this? thanks
raissa says
I have no idea.
What I have confirmed though is that when the New York apartment of the Marcoses was taken over by the Cory government they found cocaine paraphernalia there. I talked this year to one of those who actually went inside the NY apartment.
Ed Asegurado says
That’s not hard to bélieve !
El Salavador says
Sana totoo na bangag na at wala na sa huwisyo si BBM. Spoiled brat na ginagamit ang nakaw na yaman sa kasamaan.
Maya Pula says
This comes as TIME is exposing the truth behind Duterte’s paid social media trolls.
Crestfallen as their idol’s chance of topping the 100 is compromised, they attack TIME and vent their misplaced anger on Leni, when Alvarez and Floriendo is coming out as top davao thug-cronies.
Joyce Herrera Wong says
Paid social media trolls? I am one of those who voted on that online poll. And I can assure you honey that I was not paid a single cent. In fact, I can send a message to the Time Magazine writer who wrote that article, perhaps listening to the gossip that Rappler is spreading and offer to pay her a round-trip ticket from New York to here. And I will bring her down south where she can see for herself how the narco politicians are responsible in proliferating the drug trade. Yes, I can afford to pay for that because I have a legal business and a taxpayer.
raissa says
Er, why are are you posting this here about Time magazine?
I didn’t mention Time magazine.
Why not on the Time website?
Joyce Herrera Wong says
Please Raissa, do not speed read. I was answering what Maya Pula was writing about. I was not answering to any of your lies.

Madlanglupa says
As I say, we follow the money trail. This event reeks more of localized Nazism than any other, asides from Cesar (pathetic) making Rizal spin fast in his mausoleum.
sam says
Is this the same Event company whom CM paid 16M for the rally last month?
If so … nasa million yan
sup says
The rally just isn’t funded by politicians, Uson defined, however by those that would attend the rally themselves.
“This is also the reason why the funds for the rally came from voluntary contributions of Die-hard Duterte Supporters. We were able to gather around P2.2 million in just a few days and this shows that the people are getting tired of not being heard; that they are willing to fund their own rally so that the selfish politicians and people around the world will finally listen to what the Filipino people are calling for: true change in our country,” she stated.
The final large rally staged on the Quirino Grandstand was held on February 25 in assist of President Duterte the place round half 1,000,000 confirmed up. It was staged simultaneous to a rally criticizing President Duterte’s insurance policies held on the People Power Monument alongside EDSA which was attended by Vice-President Robredo and former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, in addition to his supporters. This EDSA rally, nonetheless, gathered solely over a thousand supporters.

Jojo says
Sup, saan yung proof na galing sa contributions yung pinanggastos? Napakadaling mag-press release ng ganyan. Tulad nung pinagmamalaking Feb 25 rally, na lahat pala tayo ang pumondo galing sa Tax natin. Tanungin mo pa si Boboy Montano.
sup says
I just copy and pasted the web page how they did it…..I don’t believe that page…it is Mocha Uson talking… hahahahaha

I couldn’t help but ntoice that the contributors listed above are all Chinese.
raissa says

rona says

Rose says
I think you guys are not used to seeing people spending their own money just to support a politician. Typically it is the other way around, lol.
The money that was used in the the event came from the fundraising in Gavagives. A lot of donor even have their names written on it. You can easily investigate if you want to by asking them one by one, lol
raissa says
Perhaps it’s you who are not used to people criticizing Duterte.
Its simple. Show the actual receipts of expenditures.
Paul says
True, these people can’t accept that 82% of the Filipino people supports the president. So sad that there are people trying to bring him down despite of what he’s doing in this country..Google is your friend ms Raissa, maybe you can ask your son/daughter to teach you how to use it :D
raissa says
What a condescending statement.
Don’t worry.
I’ll look more deeply into the funds that were raised for the rally.
sup says
10% of the raised money goes to gavagive….
The organizers have to pay that to the site owners.

Sam says
Sana maging neutral ka naman..
I forgot d ka pala DDS..
No wonder..
raissa says
And DDS NEUTRAL?
That’s an oxymoron.
Look it up.
Meg says
You can ask a copy of the receipts of expenditures from the organizers. It’s posted also on their page for everyone to see. Transparency is our game not hide & seek, Raissa. Kaya nga Google is your friend e, you don’t need to be a genius to find it! Ikaw na research — trabaho mo yan, di ba?
raissa says
can you give me the page?
Sam says
Research is ur work.. Why keeps on asking d receipts?
raissa says
You just said it, Sam.
Dahil nagreresearch ako.
Ryan says
Did the donor pay donors tax? It is illegal to recieve donations without paying the right taxes to BIR.
sup says
Was it 30%?

El Salavador says
Bolahin mo ang lelong mong panot.
Samantha says
Bugok ka Raissa. The organizers have been disclosing how much the rally cost and who paid for it – donations coming from OFWs and Filipino citizens themselves, so unlike LP who fund their rallies with taxpayers money.
raissa says
receipts, pls.
and this is the last time you will name-call me.
do that again, your comment will be deleted asap.
Ronald Santos says

Meg says
Utang na luob Raissa Robles, Google is your friend! Hindi itinago ng mga organizers kung saan galing ang funding ng Anti-Leni Rally! Sa taong-bayan, Raissa! Sa amin galing ang funds! Sa mga Pilipinong gustong tanggalin si #LeKnee! #nganga #syetdapwet #stupidisreal #stupidisforever
raissa says
Hindi ako ka-DDS.
The professional media were not told about gava gives.
Don’t worry, I’m looking into it.
Frank says
Gava Gives was in the news on March 26 http://technology.mb.com.ph/2017/03/26/gava-gives-fends-off-cyber-attack/
Although not the subject of the article, it mentioned that the attack could be politically motivated due to the support Duterte campaign.
pusang gala says
Consistent naman ang donors dyan …malalaman kc ang mga beneficiaries… Hehehe at talagang ubod ng yaman. Walang iba…… Wagna magtanong

Peter says
Palagay ko totoo na sariling bulsa lang ginastos nila. Di naman kailangan ang malaking halaga para makapag-rally ang 4,500 people.
Ingat lang kayo, baka ibulsa ni buboy montano yung allotted funds para dyan.
Marinel Lozano says
SHOW THE DONORS NAME EASY AS THAT … Stop funding nonsense rally! Sinong niloko niyo! Hahahaha !
millet h. la madrid says
Fyi,nandun lahat sa site http://www.gavagives,punta ka fb jimmy bondoc,search mo sa mga post nya may link duon,nandun lahat donors may $10dollars,may 1k,meron ding maliliit na amount.salamat
raissa says
wait for my post on Jimmy Bondoc and gava gives
Regalado Sareno says
Aamin ba ang mga iyan? Nakita naman natin na mga government official pa ang mga nag-join and yet, sasabihin nila sila ang nag-fund? Bolahin nyo ang Pangulo niyong baliw.
Rose says
Hoy magsitigil kayo sa kasinungalingan… ako personal na Alam ko na ang lahat ng pera ay galing sa Tao. At ang mga volunteers walang Bayad. Hindi yan dilawan sanay sa bayaran
raissa says
wait for my post. I talked to Jimmy Bondoc and the CEO of gava gives.
Yvonne says
O, ayan hintayin ninyo ang blog ni Raissa tungkol dito.
Ako, meron din idadagdag kundi mapasama sa tatalakayin ni Raissa para malaman natin kung sino ang sinungaling at mga bayaran.
Dodong of the youth says
off topic:
Si Lisa Masa ang nagpapasok sa KADAMAY nung hinaharangan sila ng mga pulis at barikada na makapasok sa resettlement site sa bulacan . sinabihan nya yung pulis na papasukin nyo yang mga KADAMAy, parang lumalakas ang impluwensya ng komunista sa panahon ni Duterte alam naman natin na si Evasco ang head ng Housing. Then sinuplayan ni Sec. Taguiwalo ng pagkain yung mga nag occupy sa resettlement site. Mostly member ng mga leftist yung nag occupy kagaya ng anak bayan,
