Part 2 of two parts
Exclusive by Raïssa Robles
The Duterte administration has gone out of its way to target and deride professional media. Facebook propagandists such as Mocha Uson and Jimmy Bondoc, as well as their thousands of followers, regularly belittle journalists as “presstitutes” and “bayaran.” They claim the mainstream press shouldn’t be believed because all reporters are on the take.
Yet when those Duterte supporters and propagandists (including entertainers-turned-government officials) held a press conference on March 28, they apparently didn’t hesitate to pay off the media they mocked.
The press conference held at “a hotel along Timog” Avenue in Quezon City, Bondoc said, was supposed to discuss the April 2 rally in Luneta and featured six Duterte supporters, four of them public officials by virtue of the fact that they were appointed to their posts by the president (they should look up the terms “sinecures” and “sharing of spoils”). At some point during that event, the journalists, as well as bloggers, were given “gas money.”
The proof is there in black and white. Listed in the breakdown of expenses that Jimmy Bondoc posted on his Facebook page were the following:
“Gas money? What does gas money mean?”, I asked Jimmy Bondoc, now an assistant vice president in charge of the Entertainment Department of PAGCOR, the state regulatory agency for gambling, which is directly under the Office of the President.
Bondoc explained it was intended for the journalists who had to take public transport like taxis.
I told him, “sa aming journalists, suhol yon. We never accept.” In my profession, taking (and asking) money from sources — variously called “lagay”, “suhol”, “coffee money” “for the boy” and “envelopmental journalism” — is a gross ethical breach, if not an outright corrupt practice.
Bondoc admitted he’d been told the same thing on FB, where someone commented that it would have been better if they had not given reporters “gas money”.
At first, Bondoc claimed he was a newbie when it came to holding press conferences and had mistakenly believed giving money to the press was standard procedure.
Then he blurted out to me, “kaya pala yung mga ABS(CBN) – to their credit – binalik.”
From what he had posted in the tally of expenses, it would seem that “some”, and not just the ABS-CBN TV crew, had refused and returned the payoffs.
Bondoc told me it was for him “a lesson learned”. However, he said he had done it for “humanitarian reasons”, especially for the radio journalists, for whom he expressed pity.
He also added that besides, what they had given was far less than the P5,000 to P8,000 per reporter usually being handed out, which he described as the going rate.
But later, he defended the “gas money” that his group, the D.A.V.A.O. Movement, had given to the media and the bloggers.
“It’s not suhol,” he insisted.
I told him that in my industry, it was.
Bondoc promised he would not do it again.
This payoff incident, done so very casually, flabbergasts me in so many ways.
First, there is currently a systematic and deliberate attempt on the part of Duterte supporters, particularly Mocha Uson and her ilk, to denigrate professional media.
Second, they keep hammering on the theme that #changeiscoming.
Third, they keep calling media “bayaran” but in truth and in fact, they themselves don’t hesitate to pay off. By doing so, they demonstrate a very cynical and hypocritical view of their so-called crusade to change Philippine society.
And fourth, four government officials were holding that press conference where the payoffs took place: MRTCB board member Mocha Uson, Bondoc of Pagcor, Arnell Ignacio of Pagcor and Tourism Undersecretary Kat de Castro.

Posted by PTV on Wednesday, March 29, 2017
Did they all approve of the “envelopmental journalism” that the D.A.V.A.O. Movement was resorting to? Could we then say that government officials were contributing to the corruption of the press?
UPDATE:
Critics (i.e., howling trolls) have been belittling part 1 of this report, claiming it is inaccurate about the March 23 press conference. The trolls have been repeatedly jeering that the March 23 presscon was only for the purpose of announcing that an impeachment complaint against Vice President Leni Robredo would be filed and that it had nothing to do with the Luneta rally.
With various degrees of condescension, trolls told me to view a video.
Well guess what? I did. And what video makes clear is that the March 23 presscon also tackled the April 2 #palitbise rally at the Luneta. It was brought up by lawyer Bruce Rivera, a co-organizer of the D.A.V.A.O. Movement that raised the funds for the #palitbise rally through Gava gives. Watch the video below starting at 46 minutes up to 48 minutes and 21 seconds.
Duterte supporters have also claimed that the video reveals that the crowdfunding by the rally organizers was mentioned by De la Salle University teacher Antonio Contreras. True, it was mentioned, but as I said in Part 1 of my report, the name of the crowdfunding platform Gava Gives was specifically kept out of the picture. Watch the same video starting at 48:24 up to 49 minutes and 14 seconds.
However, I would like to correct myself in this paragraph in Part 1 which reads:
First, during a press conference held on the #palitbise rally on March 23, 2017, Jimmy Bondoc’s group hid from the press the fact that the organizers were actually raising money for the rally through the crowdfunding platform, Gava Gives.
It should read as follows:
First, during a press conference held – on the PLANNED IMPEACHMENT OF VICE-PRESIDENT LENI ROBREDO AND THE #palitbise rally – on March 23, 2017, Jimmy Bondoc’s group hid from the press the fact that the organizers were actually raising money for the rally through the crowdfunding platform, Gava Gives.
In the March 23 press conference, Contreras did say that they had already gathered money amounting to P1.6 million through crowdfunding. But he failed to mention the crowdfunding platform, which was exactly my point.
Perhaps because Contreras was afraid that publicity in the professional media would result in further hacking of Gava Gives.
Others have sneered that nothing was hidden since Gava Gives was “public” and viewable online by anyone.
My answer is, those who said that do not know how the Internet works. There are almost a billion websites online today. See – How many websites are there?
At that time, Gava Gives – a start-up – was as public as a star at the edge of the universe. It’s there, yes, but if it isn’t specifically mentioned, along with its URL, it is invisible.
There are people from the Middle East who have insulted me saying they knew about it and they gave donations.
My reply to them is, why did only 1,122 contribute to Gava Gives when President Rodrigo Duterte has supporters in the hundreds of thousands in the Middle East? Is it because they did not care or they were hard-up? Or – perhaps – they did not know about Gava Gives?

the probability that DDS will become rationale thinkers is zero. they find safety in the words of the lying president. ignore them and they will fade away. they have nobody to fight. build the ranks of the those who seek the truth and the dds will be isolated. we can put more energy on spreading what is truly happening and to the worldview we hope to create.
arc says
lying president, yes. digong lied about kubyertos stolen sa peninsula hotel during the kasagsagan ng magdalo vs gma. journalist ellen tordesillas said in her blog that she was one of the journalists covering the event and said the magdalo did no such. kaya pala duon sa qatar nagsinungaling si digong dahil kapag sa pinas siya nagsinabi ng ganon, maraming mga witness ang sasalungat sa kanya.
the qataris must have been shaking thier heads, imagine a head of state calling his kababayan na nagnakaw kuno ng kubyertos. digong is such ulol and cheapen himself in the eyes of qataris. digong travel all the way to middle east only to made such accusation, accusation better dealt at home.
digong is maker of fake news. he, he, he, I bet, the qataris must have been checking their kubyertos after digong and his entourage left.
lindy says
Most OFW’s are hard up that they don’t really care about giving donations just so the Duterte fanatics can have a rally.
Yvonne says
I agree with you – I think the so-called “overwhelming” OFW support on President Duterte is grossly over-rated, if not over-exaggerated. I looked at the list of Gava-givers for any indication of OFW support and I can say that it is miniscule.
I think many OFWs that initially supported Duterte realized that they have been had. Take for example the “tanim-bala” issue that caused many OFWs to rally behind Duterte. When Duterte was elected President the “tanim-bala” incidents miraculously disappeared although nobody was prosecuted for it, leading many to suspect that the “tanim-bala” was purposely staged for political reasons. Now, OFWs are complaining about the much higher cost of sending balikbayan boxes to their relatives in the Philippines.

I feel sorry for the 18reporters/bloggers invited? asked? attended on their own accord? who were at the rally. maybe they did not know gas money has string attached and that they’d be punished/castigated/shamed later on for accepting it. for a measly 1.5k they got lambasted for being kurap, even by the president himself. myself is so glad there were those that returned jimmy boncoc’s gas money, masyado palang maalingasaw yong gas. phew! the innocent 18 must have been thinking they were being appreciated and, or, paid for their efforts. after all, they had done their job, reported on the event, and also made up numbers of attendees. all in a day’s work. and those that returned the gas money, looks like they have given their services free of charge.
with all that gas money na bumalik sa kanya, medyo richer yata ngayon si jimmy bondoc.

And that’s kinda the sad part.
In the distant past and if I’m not mistaken, people gave (extra) money to others for job well done: product delivered, service rendered, or expectation/s exceeded. Others then did that to the point of soliciting favors and gaining an (unfair) advantage over some people. Thus, it blurred the line between showing appreciation to someone for something and getting ahead of others to the point of some material harm.
At any rate, things change—and people roll with that.

Yvonne says
ARE BONDOC, UZON, MONTANO, ET. AL, LIABLE FOR FOR VIOLATION OF P.D. 46?
Believe it, or not, Presidential Decree 46 is still in effect and part of the laws of the land. One of the most recent cases heard by the Supreme Court involving allegation of violation of P.D. 45 is G.R. Nos. 99289-90 on January 13, 1992.
P.D. 46 “make(s) it punishable for any public official or employee, whether of the national or local governments, to receive, directly or indirectly, and for private persons to give, or offer to give, any gift, present or other valuable thing to any occasion, including Christmas, when such gift, present or other valuable thing is given by reason of his official position, regardless of whether or not the same is for past favor or favors or the giver hopes or expects to receive a favor or better treatment in the future from the public official or employee concerned in the discharge of his official functions. Included within the prohibition is the throwing of parties or entertainments in honor of the official or employees or his immediate relatives.”
“For violation of this Decree, the penalty of imprisonment for not less than one (1) year nor more than five (5) years and perpetual disqualification from public office shall be imposed. The official or employee concerned shall likewise be subject to administrative disciplinary action and, if found guilty, shall be meted out the penalty of suspension or removal, depending on the seriousness of the offense.”
If Duterte is serious about stopping graft and corruption he should file cases against violators of P.D. 46 before our courtS of law. That, of course, is a big IF.
Paolo Naces says
“when such gift, present or other valuable thing is given by reason of his official position, regardless of whether or not the same is for past favor or favors or the giver hopes or expects to receive a favor or better treatment in the future from the public official or employee concerned in the discharge of his official functions.”
The people gave their donations in support of the rally. How is that act a violation of this law? They gave their money not by reason of the official position of Bondoc, but because they support the rally. They didn’t gave money hoping to “expects to receive a favor or better treatment in the future from the public official or employee concerned in the discharge of his official functions.”

Paolo Naces says
A comment I made in part 1 of this series:
First, the name Gavagives wasn’t mentioned but it was all over the internet (social media). You belong to the “professional media” group and don’t tell me you didn’t hear about this fund raising initiative. If you didn’t, maybe you should broaden your horizon and be more aware of current events. Media, specially mainstream media, shouldn’t be spoonfed the information in order to do their job well. If I’m a reporter and I will cover a certain event, I will dig up all the info I can so that I can ask the necessary questions during the event.
Second, yes it is unfortunate that Bondoc has to give “gas money” but it was not to pay off the media covering the event. Meaning, they are not paid 1,500 to write/report favorable articles supporting the palitbise initiatives. When D30 supporters say the media is paid, they mean the media is paid TO WRITE unfavorable articles about D30. They are not paid to just cover D30 events.
dzandueta says
Since you said “don’t tell me”, any wonder why Mrs. Robles won’t tell you? ;)
I didn’t know about Gavagives, much more people using it to solicit donations for PalitBise, if Mrs. Robles didn’t write about this. And I’ve known Kickstarter, GoFundMe, PayMaya, and some websites that solicit or enable payments—and I’ve been using the Internet since the late ’90s. If I and other people didn’t know about those things, what more a reporter unless s/he checks it as Mrs. Robles later did.
Thanks to the Internet and social media, pretty much anyone can be reporter. So, what’s stopping you from being one to cover an event or so—much more digging up all the info you can—and then earning praise from some people? Yun lang, you’ll also receive criticism from others just as you criticized Mrs. Robles.
While Bondoc may have given that “gas money” not to pay media for covering the event or to write favorable articles, why did he do that anyway? Did he have to do that ba? Plus there’s Republic Act 6713 to give Bondoc, a government official, some pause about soliciting or receiving whatever item of monetary value. As a saying goes: ignorance of the law…
But hey, feel great to say whatever online. Ewan lang if that changes anything or helps anybody, other than to maybe soothe one’s ego.
Paolo Naces says
dzandueta…
“If I and other people didn’t know about those things, what more a reporter unless s/he checks it as Mrs. Robles later did.” — They’re reporters, professional media is what Ms Robles I think calls them, and it’s their job to know these things, especially since they’re about to cover the said event. Are they too lazy to check the FB pages of the people involved in the event?
Also, a lot of people may have never heard of Gavagives before but that is not my point. My point is a lot of people know there is a fund raising initiative for the palitbise rally.
raissa says
If a lot of people knew, why did so few contribute?
Over a thousand is not a lot.
What I’m trying to drive at is this – the personalities behind the D.A.V.A.O. Movement held two press conferences. In none of those press conferences did they mention “Gava Gives”.
If they had mentioned “Gava Gives” THAT would have been THE STORY.
Paolo Naces says
Mam Raissa, I’m sorry to say this but your line of reasoning is obviously a way to belittle this fund raising. Over a thousand contributors is not a lot? How many political rallies in the past in the PH have been funded by over a thousand supporters? Also, they even overshoot their target amount by almost 7,500 USD!
Lastly, kung maliit lang sa inyo ang over a thousand contributors, it still doesn’t mean only a few people knew about it. Yung engagement statistics (I’m assuming into millions engagement and reach) ng FB accounts ng mga D30 supporters ang di maitatangging proof nito.
Instead of belittling this over a thousand numbers, I think the “professional media” should be lauding them.
raissa says
If you look at the amount in isolation, it is indeed impressive.
But if you contextualize it with his number of followers, it’s not a lot.
sup says
Actually they fell short because the goal was raised to 50.000

Yvonne says
@Paolo Naces, do you really believe that there are over a thousand contributors to Jimmy Bondoc’s crowd-funding at GavaGives?
I don’t, and I don’t know how gullible you can be.
I think many of the so-called “contributors” are fakes, just like the hundreds of fake news being spread around.
Do you think it is believable that some persons from Tolosa, Leyte who were victims of typhoon Yolanda donated exactly U.S.$25? Why not P1,000 or P2,000 pesos? How did the donation in pesos convert exactly to $25 with no cents whatsoever? Did they donate in U.S. dollars?
How about Filipinos Basilio Diego and Allan Roque who were both joining the April 2 rally who supposedly gave $50 and $10 respectively – did they both contribute in U.S. dollars also? Or, are they “fake” contributors?
And what about those alleged contributors whose names appear to be “namesakes” of known anti-Duterte personalities – like Jim Paredes, Sonny Trillanes, Loida Lewis – are they for real, or are they “fake” contributors also?
Paolo Naces says
Yvonne… What are your proofs that they are fakes? Just a hunch?
I tried donating to Gavagives (the Ibalik ang Dignidad ng mga Sacadas, the fund drive to help the Sacadas that were allegedly treated as slave workers in Hacienda Luisita) and I can donate using any name I want (tempted to write Noy Aquino). Does that make me a fake contributor?
Which means that person that donated $25 could very well be someone living abroad who traces his roots to Tolosa Leyte.
So yes, for sake of arguments, they could be fake contributors. So I ask again, where is your proof? Without any proof, wouldn’t be better to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are indeed real contributors.
Yvonne says
@Paolo Naces,
Proofs? Didn’t I already itemize and evaluate the data shown on Gava Gives web site? I’ll provide the links below to make it easy for you to re-read my posts.
So you want to donate and use Noy Aquino as a donor’s name? Yes, that would make you a fake donor and you would be in violation of Gava Gives Terms and Conditions that prohibits impersonating other persons. And it would also raise question about your motivation – such as spreading fake news/information?
And please don’t take information out of context – I referred to some donors (not just a single person) from Tolosa, Leyte who were victims of typhoon Yolanda who supposedly contributed $25 to Jimmy Bondoc and the D.A.V.A.O. Movement. So it is not about a single person from abroad, but a collective group who were victims of the typhoon, and who happened to give exactly $25 as a group, mind you in U.S. dollars not in pesos. If that is not fake news, I don’t what is!
dzandueta says
“Are they too lazy to check the FB pages of the people involved in the event?”
That, you can ask those reporters—and that’s if you really want to know.
You asked Mrs. Robles in this case and she responded. All good, then? :)
Paolo Naces says

Assuming the Mr. Bondoc may have been a neophyte in this matter, well surely ignorance of the law is not an excuse. For sure naman Mr. Bondoc has read comments about other press con where in if the press-con was given by anti-duterte, they will always say the press was paid to attend.
Mr. Bondoc might now using FB to show that he did not ask for donation or solicited any just to save himself. But he is just to confident also to show evidence that he indeed received donations.
again… something is running in my mind… are they asking people to act on VP impeachment or are they asking for people’s movement to unset the VP? If so … could this be “sedition” … just asking

Roa III, Henry Chiongbian, Constantino Manahan, Jr., Frederico Fernandez and Rico T. Raymundo said in a motion filed on April 8.
NETI owner Gregorio Ma. Araneta III, husband of Mr. Marcos’ daughter Irene, allegedly used public money to purchase Pantranco North Express, Inc., another bus firm, for P55 million.

I am one of OFWs who donated, trusted and gave permission to Jimmy Bondoc for how he used the fund which are not tax money. At least, those press are given gas money to ask questions, whereas some presstitutes and bayarans receive monthly salary to publish fake news while they call themselves “professional journalists”. What is professional about that?

what do you mean when you say – “At least, those press are given gas money to ask questions, whereas some presstitutes and bayarans receive monthly salary to publish fake news while they call themselves “professional journalists”. What is professional about that?”
That’s where part of your donation went.

Jimmy Bondoc is a SCAM ARTIST.
He has not produced yet the entire copy of the 1 million pesos check and the entirety of the Receipts he claimed n FACEBOOK account as transparent donation and expenses of GavaGives Fund.
His promise to Raissa has failed his followers.
Absolute proof that he engaged in FRAUD over GAVAGIVES fund raising
Are cinema artists using the movie industry their stepping stone to popularity so they can join the government to make a killing in corruption? Erap, Jinggoy, Bong, Paulate, Montano, Bondoc? would not be surprising next names to come out are Bautista and Ignacio!

people should have a good look at jimmy bondoc’s face dahil his face is the face of a scammer. I bet, jimmy jimmy quite contrary cannot produce the hard copy of the receipt he tried to foist on raissa. the smudges on the fake receipt are now like watermarks, their exact specifications harder to copy. bondoc would just have to measure their diameters and corresponding bursts, make sure they’re identical to the original. if not, he may have to color photocopy the whole shebang and pass it as the real thing. but the receipt would still be incomplete. fake kasi.

bad timing kuno yang icc complaint vs digong, sabi ni abelya just when asean forum hosted by pinas is about to take place. well, I will add and dare to say na bad timing din yang paglusob ng abu sayyaf/maute group sa bohol at cebu, at ang subsequent na bakbakan ng militar na hanggang ngayon ay patuloy pa rin with or without asean. bad timing din yata ang travel alert ng estados unidos, australia at ibang foreign nations alerting their nationals not to travel to bohol and cebu dahil sa patayan duon. plus the earthquakes that destroyed places and tourists destinations, ang rehimon ni digong is full of bad timings.
sabi ko si digong ay makapal ang mukha, kahit anong klaseng bad timing ay hindi madutlan yan, so keep the bad timing coming. already there is another low pressure area threatening pinas, baka storm surge ang dating.
abelya is better off getting used to bad timing, that’s the new norm ngayon. and so far, the best bad timing is the complaint vs digong filed at icc, bad timing brought to international level befitting a pimp-sident and cultivator of presstitutes, so addicted to international travel.
icc complaint full steam ahead! digong wants international attention, and he is getting one now: alleluia.

Wishful Thinking
Lapdogs of Duterte quickly shot down the ICC filing against him.
From SecAbella tagging the complaint as UnFilipino blue to filing during ASEAN meeting, as if everything has to stop grinding because Duterte is hosting ASEAN. maybe it’s more of lack of credible defense. Against the accusation.
To Sen Lacson judging the lack of merit of the accuser Matobato because he has appeared before him in the senate, but he corrected himself immediately by saying, it will fail if Matobato is the only witness without mentioning Lascanas whom Lason knows will definitely testify. He is the same guy who hid from GMA accusations instead of facing his accuser.
To Sens Sotto and Ejercito claiming that it was ill time for ICC complaint as it’s still a part of destabilization effort of Duterte critics, when they could helped the process if they did not support Gordon to kill the Davao Death Squad senate investigation.
Nothing wrong with wishful thinking because these Duterte rah rah boys know that they’re no longer in control of the situation unlike the senate investigation where they manipulated the process. They are left with one card, wishful thinking, compared to ICC which has all the power to proceed or not proceed with the complaint.
These officials area lying to their teeth and they can’t hide their lying eyes.They soon will realize their lack of power when the defendants in the complaint will be asked to defend themselves. It’s about time Philippines will be in the news for a different reason, not about corruption of government officials or lack of discipline of the people, but due to a crime to humanity by its president.
ICC proceeding to trial of Duterte is the best international gift to the FILIPINOS if not to all mankind with respect for human life.
What’s the big deal for these lapdogs? Duterte proclaimed he was willing to go to jail!
Aha, they have to switch allegiance to new leader to retain their senate positions.

Exactly!
Duterte and his cohorts barking loudly on an issue they applied against DeLima. Their statements could be used against Duterte on the process he treated DeLima.
Why are they afraid on the ICC investigation?
Duterte denies the accusation. New York Times editorialized the reasons why Duterte must be investigated.
Milosevic from Yugoslavia and Serbia had similar issues when the world condemned him. Milosevic denied initially the accusations until he and his cohorts were convicted by ICC. He died imprisoned in Hague.

abelya is tange! uncool and stressed kaagad, his pants on fire when he ought to gather his wits and calm down. now is best time to file icc complaints because by the time asean summit is over, the delegates gone home, icc would still be mulling over the complaints, gathering witnesses and checking evidences, booking the venue, etc. it will take months, if not years, before digong’s case can be heard. and maybe, digong will be dead by then and have no case to answer, the asean summit long forgotten.
arc says
pinas is still a democratic nation and filing case in icc is part of our democratic process, part of our democratic freedom. we should not be denied the freedom just because digong will be inconvenient, abelya will be fuming mad and digong’s supporters will be hard pressed to defend the indefensible fentanyl addict.

he, he, he sa hague at the hearing, digong will be hard pressed to speak straight english na walang kahalong tagalog o bisaya. speaking thus may not be to his best interest, else he requires the services of a filipino/english interpreter who specializes in court cases and can interpret legal jargon.

I would easily trust the words of the “confessed killer” the those of the “confessed drug pusher”. There are obvious reasons like
1. The pushers are in their custody, how can they freely speak of the truth? while the killers are not
2. They admit that drug has affected the minds of the users. During the hearing both congress and senate, maybe you might noticed their witness “the drug pushers” have their eyes wide open (sabog).

Sotto, being educated and graduating Summa Cum Laude under an institution known as Iskul Bukol learned from the school that the Rome Statute refers to nations with Roman Statues displayed in Congress and in Malacanang.

‘GAVA GIVES’ BECOMES A PURVEYOR OF FAKE NEWS
WHEN IT VIOLATED ITS OWN INTERNAL CONTROLS
‘GAVA GIVES’ BECOMES A PURVEYOR OF FAKE NEWS
WHEN IT VIOLATED ITS OWN INTERNAL CONTROLS
AND JIMMY BONDOC BECOMES AN ENABLER OF FAKE NEWS
FOR NOT CORRECTING ‘GAVA GIVES’ IN ITS CROWD-FUNDING
Gava Gives becomes a purveyor of fake news when it did not implement, and ignored, its own Terms and Conditions in the conduct of its crowd-funding activities for Jimmy Bondoc and the D.A.V.A.O. Movement in their show of political support to President Duterte.
Under Gava Gives’ Terms and Conditions, Section 9.1.3 of its conduct and general rules, it is prohibited to “impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, a Company representative, forum leader, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.”
It is very obvious from the list of givers (or donors) that many of the givers impersonate other persons with the intent to mislead or hide the real identity of the givers, and to demean or harass those they impersonate. Yet Gava Gives not only did not correct the fake information but also retained the false information in its web site. And Jimmy Bondoc did not take action to correct, or deny,the falsehood.
For examples, the following alleged givers are clearly impersonating other persons and their absurd comments leave no doubt as to the persons they are impersonating (names are from the list of givers published in Gava Gives web site):
1. Leni Robredo, $10, March 22, 2017, “Gusto ko nang ma-impeach! #impeachmenow”
2. Leni Robredo, $10, March 21, 2017, “Even I support this!”
3. Jessie Robredo, $20, March 22, 2017, “Bwisit na asawa ko yan! Patalsikin nyo na at miss ko na sya ditto sa impyerno!”
4. Dalisay Robredo, $10, March 22, 2017, “Thank you Jesse Myluv”
5. Aquino Iii Benigno Simeon, $10, March 22, 2017, “Papasagasa ako sa tren pag naimpeach si Leni. Totohanan na to”
6. Laila De Lima, $10, March 22, 2017, “#impeachleni”
7. Jaybee Sebastian, $10, March 22, 2017,”#impeachleni at sana ipakulong na ito si mam para may kasama at di malungkot ang loves kong c delima sa kulungan”
8. L.n. Lewis of Nyc, USA, $10, March 24, 2017, “Ano yang pinagkakalat ni Thinking Pinoy/RJ Nieto na kuripot ako? Ayan binawasan ko na ang $600 million ko. $599,999,990 na lang tuloy pero ko. Wait, lalagnatin ako ata ako at naghyhyperventilate na dahil nabawasan yung milyones ko.”
9. Sonny Trillanes, $10, March 24, 2017, “Pa as if lang na anti ako pero Du30 pa rin mga ulol! Eto lang muna, d pa nabigay ang cheque galing sa….alam na this!”
10. Emilio Aquinaldo, $20, March 23, 2017, “karen davila and mainstream media kami ang totoong emilio aguinaldo report this pls!”
11. Jim Paredes (alternate Universe), $10, March 23, 2017, “Pasensyahan nyo na doppleganger ko. In my timeline, I don’t own EDSA and I support President Duterte.”
The above impersonation is clearly in violation of its Terms and Conditions, yet Gava Gives made no effort to correct the impersonation, or otherwise remove the falsehoods from its website.
Similarly, under its Terms of Conditions, Section 9.1.1, it is prohibited and is against its Conduct and General Rules, to “upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any information, products or services, that are unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable”.
Yet, the following examples of comments that are clearly threatening, abusive, harassing, and defamatory were uploaded and posted in Gava Gives web site:
1. Jessie Robredo, $20, March 22, 2017, “Bwisit na asawa ko yan! Patalsikin nyo na at miss ko na sya ditto sa impyerno!”
2. San Pedro, $10, March 24, 2017, “paalisin na yang leni robredo kasi hinahanap na sya ni harry…harry ng kadiliman”
3. Jaybee Sebastian, $10, March 22, 2017,”#impeachleni at sana ipakulong na ito si mam para may kasama at di malungkot ang loves kong c delima sa kulungan”
4. Gava Angel, $10.20, March 23, 2017, “Leni itapon sa bunganga ng bulkang Mayon”
5. Jen Pie, $15, March 23, 2017, “Impeach the delusional, un-elected VP Leni”
6. Gava Angel, $20, March 22, 2017, “Para sa tunay na Pagbabago, alisin ang traidor at taksil sa Inang Bayan! Impeach fake VP, Leni Robredo!”
Did Gava Gives turn a blind eye to the violations of its Terms and Conditions, and allowed the spread of false news, because it gets a cut from the donations? Certainly, there is a financial incentive for GavaGives to do just like that.
Ann Cuisia-Lindayag, Gava Gives CEO, admitted that its crowd-funding’s activities, for Jimmy Bondoc and the D.A.V.A.O. Movement in support of Duterte, is political in nature; and it is the only political crowd-funding it has done to date. In venturing into a political crowd-funding, Gava Gives has the responsibility to determine that all donations came from givers (or donors) who are Filipino citizens, or at least dual-Filipino citizens, because foreigners are not supposed to give financial donations for partisan political activities. Did Gava Gives ensure that none of the givers are foreigners?
Did Gava Gives allowed itself to be used for money-laundering if it turns out the many of its alleged givers are fakes?

“PNP Chief Gen Bato says “No problem of prison cell if the prisoners were not tortured”
This is the second time Bato tried to protect the precinct commander, Supt Domingo. In the first place Bato is absolutely wrong that there is no Problem. Prisoners Miranda Rights were violated by being incarcerated for several days without police blotter or inquest within a few days of imprisonment. Violation of Miranda Rights is an offense.
Most important, Bato is protecting Supt Domingo because he is the leader of the Death Squad assigned by Bato to exact EJK in Western Command. Bato is afraid that Domingo will implicate him. Being the site leader of DDS is the reason Domingo abused his position thinking that he will be protected by Bato and Duterte.
“Familiarity breeds contempt”, never fails.
Bato is worried deep to his marrow thus Domingo has to be exculpated before he does a Lsacanas
He he he

maybe there was no warrant of arrest too, at saka na lang hinuli yong mga tao. and if bato cannot see problems with that, maybe it’s because he is not fit to be police chief.

walang lihim na hindi mabubunyag, these days kasi may cyberspace na, and news travel so fast, maybe faster than the speed of light. the kapolisan under bato are idiots to think they can keep secret.

it’s in the best of interest of kapolisan who want to be idiot in the future that every person they victimized has family who will cry for justice, some more boisterous than others. victims also have relatives and friends who will give support and also take up the cause for justice, palawak ng palawak. and victims know how to pray too, and if god sided with them, lagot ang kapolisan.
kapolisan should know that any kalukuhan on thier part will also reflect on their own families. thier children will be teased at school, if not bullied, called names at iniirapan pa. classmates will talk behind their backs, thus making the children of kapolisan edgy and stressed. then, they’ll start to resent their polis dad/mum, became sullen and uncooperative, and then, leave home altogether. only to become victim of other polis, if not, became drug addicts. and eventually, end up in secret cells, he, he, he.

Duterte’s “Auschwitz concentration camp” exists in police precincts. True to form, Hitler being the idol of Duterte, his henchmen(Nazi police) put up “secret prison cells” in their police headquarters.
Only difference is in Hitler’s Auschwitz prisoners were exterminated without th ability to buy their freedom whike in Duterte’s Auschwitz prisoners were allowed to find means to buy their freedom but will be exterminated if unable to produce the money.
For this similarity, PNP chief Bato still defended Duterte’s Auschwitz while Duterte has maintained since the beginning that he will protect, defend and promote his Nazi policemen for the war on drugs.
New York Times is right to call the world to stop Duterte.
Auschwitz camp in police precints is crime against humanity.
Bato signed his warrant with ICC for defending Duterte’s Auschwitz

concentration camp, susma! ang galit ni bato, parang butanding na na nangingintab ang ulo, pinagpawisan ng husto. naunahan kasi siya ng chr, they were 1st on the scene. habang si bato only came 2nd, huli na naman and have to play catch up. the kapolisan are getting idiotic, thinking they can hide operation barbarosa behind an aparador!
the germans are fastidious record keeper and recorded everything, whereas bato’s kapolisan did not document their prisoners. and when the undocumented prisoners were finally in the rehas, bato visited them in such a huff, natakot tuloy ang mga undocumenteds. they were blocked with nowhere to run. bato with entourage is a scary sight, his show of force impressive. so, of course, the undocumenteds changed their story and said anything just to appease villain boss bato.
sana ginaya ni bato ang saudi king who give amnesty to undocumented ofws, and also give amnesty to undocumented prisoners. bato would have been hero, not villain. better luck next time, butanding villain.

if digong is bad president, bb is going to be worse. already, sabi ni imee when she entouraged with digong and visited middle east, there are more ilocanos ofws working there. maybe, for a very good reason: the further they are from ilocos, the better their chances of holding on to their money, away from the marcoses’ coffer.

MATRIX OR SUMMARY OF DUTERTE’S DRUG WAR
Upon occupying the presidency Duterte issued a directive to fight drug menace all over the country. He waived thick bundles of papers identifying drug lords, pushers and users all over.
Duterte addressed his policemen to arrest and kill drug pushers and drug users comparing the killing to the acts of Hitler Jewish extermination. He swore to protect and defend any policeman accused of murdering drug pushers and users, legitimate or not.
Duterte appointed Gen Bato as PNP chief, who is now accused in ICC by admitted Davao Death Squad killer Matobato as a henchman of Duterte in the DDS.
An accused drug dealer by Duterte, Mayor Espinosa was killed point blank by policemen while in jail. Duterte promised to protect and promote the killers despite the fact that Senate investigation resolved that the Espinosa killing was premeditated. Impunity committed by policemen could be discerned as explicit executive order by Duterte during his speech toPNP.
Korean businessman was abducted and framed by policemen to be a drug dealer. He was executed in police headquarters, Camp Crame, right in the office of PNP chief Bato. Bato refused to fire and condemned the officers involved in the execution but pointed to Korean mafia as the cause of the abduction and killing.
Philippine Commission on Human Rights discovered a secret jail of prisoners in Tondo police precinct who have been imprisoned for many days, without, warrant of arrest, police blotter, inquest and charges. Gen Bato defended the precinct commander and his men for maintaining a secret prison which is directly against constitutional provision. Bato claims his policemen did not do anything wrong.
General Bato has command responsibility of officers under his jurisdiction. His defense of police action despite obvious facts of illegality is a form of conspiracy to violate constitutional rights of Filipino prisoners. Killing the accused drug pushers/users unjustifiably without due process is crime against humanity.
But, Duterte has spoken in public forum that drug pusher/ users are not humane. Command responsibility starts with Duterte as Commander in Chief. Gen Bato takes his orders from Duterte while his ranking officers follow his orders.
Any Filipino who reached grade 2 level of education could understand this simple Matrix.
International Criminal Court should not have a problem filing charges. Definitely, Gen Bato Dela Rosa is guilty of crime against humanity. His recorded defense of constitutionally violating secret prisons is the last nail in his coffin. If Bato does not understand the relevance of his duties with constitutional provisions, he does not deserve any more minute sitting as PNPchief.
Why did Gen Bato defend the precinct commander and why Duterte did not fire Bato?
Oh, Gen Bato protected Manila precinct commander Supt Domingo because he is one of his leaders tasked to perform EJK while Duterte is also protecting Bato because he was one of his original leaders in DDS

Talagang mapapamura ka…. sa PILIPINAS. Kahit antik aparador o tokador , very ingenious ang Pinoy pulis , akalain mo selda na ngayon. Wala nga namang kotong, kinubli lang from the elements of the weather, baka mainitan o matokhang ng riding in tandem, bigyan ng proteksyon…. sabi ni Bato, na-misplace lang sila.
KAkaibang magnegosyo ang mga pulis, parang sanglaan. Pag di natubos, bebenta ba sa e-bay or palulutangin sa Laguna de bay.
As long as the perperators of EJK ARE IN POWER, they feel they lord over the gullible. I hope matapos na ang nightmare nyo sa Monster na mga yan.
I heard about the successive EQ,, a little all seeing BIRDIE says TO ME , so that they’ll know the all seeing ONE IS WATCHING.
TRUE STORY.

It’s interesting, why is it that the prisoners t shirts inside the cell are colored YELLOW ( dilawan) ? Parang nang-iinis pa sila ano? Sinong hateful mind ang nag-isip nyan? ‘I’m curious.

Sumagot ang White House ni Trump: ” Pinagusapan lamang ni Duterte at Trump ay ang kalagayan sa Korea”

Nasabat ng reporter sa Malacanang Si Sec Abella at tinanong ng reporter,
“Sir Ano ang sagot ni Duterte sa tanong ni Trump tungkol sa Korea”?
Sagot ni Abella: “parehong fans ng Chicago Bulls at hilig si Kim Jung Un ng North Korea at Près Duterte sa basketball. Galit pa rin sa Tumalo sa Pilipinas si Duterte kay Shin Dong Pa ng South Korea”
Kaya pala pinakulong si DeLima, hindi nakakalimot Si Duterte, Vengatibo pala

kapag bumisita si digong sa USA, si imee marcos at mocha loca will be entouraged again and bringing with them their own filth and lies. digong would just have to charter a big enough airbus, pinoy taxpayers footing the bill, na naman.
trump is correct, the business with digong can be done simply over the phone. no need for long haul trans-atlantic flight.

“Gen Bato says: Secret jail illegal but was necessary”
Trying to extricate himself from his defense of his subordinate, the more he buries himself deeper into trouble.
Same thing- Extrajudicial killing illegal but was necessary”
He he he!

dejected si bato, started yata nuong binaliktad ni digong ang decision niya tanggalin ang killer ni exmayor espinosa na si marvin marcos sa pwesto. since then, parang lumot na lang si bato, parang walang gana na sa trabaho. paligoy ligoy na lang and looking forward to payday. even his eye contact nagbago, shifty na like he’s looking for bolthole. keeping his seat warm. he, he, he ang itlog ni bato migrated.
bato talks rubbish and solves nothing, the kapolisan are now in their most criminal elements and thriving so well. they virtually print their own money.

“Sec Taguiwalo, a single mother, appeared before Commission on Appoinments session for her confirmation hearing. senator Sotto, asked her about her her marital status. After honestly confirming her single motherhood status, Sotto said “Na-Ano eh”
After being criticized for his inappropriate comment on Taguiwalo, Sotto claims his critics did not understand his “joke”
Another proof Sen Tito Sotto deserves his Summa Cum Laude honor from Iskul Bukol.
Senate confirmation hearing is supposed to be attended by honorable government officials involved with the process. Mutual respect among each other should be maintained all the time.
Not only that Sotto tried to invent an alibi but he also claimed that he could not have disrespected Taguiwalo because he also has 2 daughters with children who have separated from their partners.
If this is the case with his daughters, the more Sotto should have been more circumspect when to tell a joke in the the right place because publicly he humiliated and disrespected his own daughters. Senate is an august chamber unlike the TV stage he commands daily in his Eat Bulaga show. He should know better that th people in the hearing are dignified deserving respect rather than the butt of humor, unlike his colleagues in the tv show.
His public apology was unconvincing. He should have offered it to his daughters instead, that night of the incident as soon as he got home
Silly dialogue daily begets maggot brain.
Sotto should go back Iskul Bukol

marami naman po ang mga single mothers, widows whose husbands died are left to bring up children on their own, women left by their husbands/boyfriends ended up with children too. those victim of incest na binuntisan ng ama mismo also become single mothers. there are those older single women na nag-ampon ng bata and give them good home. single mothers, single fathers, anyone can be single parent, men and women alike.
I was hoping na tugiwalo would ask sotto if being a single mother is problematic. does sotto has problem with single fathers? isn’t junjun binay a single father? herbert bautista?
si sotto nagkaruon ng stupid moment. the laughter, I think, was meant for sotto, not for tugiwalo.

si mommy d, wasn’t she previously a single mother? inanakan ng inanakan, tapos iniwan ng asawa. mommy d was left to bring up a large brood of kids, pakyaw among them. coming from single family did not harm the pambansang kamao. in fact, pakyaw was proud of it and worked early on to help support his mother and siblings. despite growing up poor and without a father, pakyaw may lacked education, but he did not become a serial killer, rapist or arsonist.
may mga celebs din tayong single mothers gaya nina andi eigermann, ruffa, etc. ang dating beauty queen nga na si venus raj grew up in a ‘single family’ and was brought up by an ofw single mother. last I heard, venus tried to get in contact with her father but no success. still, venus grew up resilient and well adjusted. pretty as well.
and being a single mother/parent is no joke, lot of hard work though.
