Matt Ranillo III, the Actor Who Plays Jesus is a PDAF Scam Bagman

And I thought the continuing saga that is the PDAF scam is becoming boring.

First, a doyenne (I'm using the word loosely) of the Philippine alta sosyedad, Ruby Tuason, has come out of hiding to reveal that she personally delivered millions of commissions placed in bags to Jinggoy Estrada and Juan Ponce Enrile.

Now, it has been revealed during this afternoon's Senate hearing on the PDAF scam by numero uno whistleblower, Benhur Luy, and Madam Ruby that Matt Ranillo III also served as bagman for Jinggoy Estrada. Jinggoy, are you feeling the noose getting tighter and tigher? (evil laugh)

Lito Lapid's Wife is a Money Launderer FAIL!

If you were smart enough to have accumulated wealth, the legal or illegal way, you should also be smart enough not to get caught smuggling huge amounts of money from your home country to another country.

Well, the wife of Lito Lapid, Marissa, got herself arrested for trying to bring $50,000 in cash into the USA. You know and I know Marissa knows that Marissa tried to lie her way through the airport, but airport personnel are trained to smell liars a mile away.

So Marissa was arrested in November 2011, presented herself infront of a judge who allowed her bail. She's now sporting a new accessory, an ankle monitor, after she was arrested when she came back in January 2012.

This incident does not reflect well on Lito Lapid, who is set to make a television comeback via ABS-CBN. Oh, wait.. Lito Lapid is a Philippine senator and a long-standing member of the so-called committee on silence.

Lito Lapid's committee membership is also in peril because he has bee visible lately, speaking to the media about his wife's legal troubles and standing up to speak during the on-going impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona.

The pressure is now on Bong Revilla. I'm betting Bong Revilla will choose to keep his membership on the committee on silence. This is why I ca't get on the Bong Revilla train. He doesn't try. At least Jinggoy Estrada makes an effort, even if it is in the name of grandstanding.

Lito Lapid's wife Marissa has hired a topnotch lawyer to prove one of two things: the money was intended for health-care purposes or the money would be used to make home repairs. I'm sure most of us are asking, "Ano ba talaga?"

That topnotch lawyer must be charging by the hundreds by the hours. I bet Marissa is now wishing she had declared the money or pay that miniscule (by comparison) bank transaction fee.

Claire de la Fuente Appeals Cancellation of Bus Franchise

Claire de la Fuente is appealing the LTFRB's decision to cancel the franchise of the 107 buses owned by her company, Philippine Corinthian Liner. The cancellation stemmed from the bus strike in Nov 2010 that left hundreds of Metro Manila commuters stranded.

Claire and the person lawyering for this so-called businesswoman argued that the decision was baseless and malicious and that the LTFRB just wanted to make an example out of her to scare smaller operators into towing the line.

Claire presented evidence that all her buses, except those covered by the number-coding, plied their routes the day of the strike. During the hearings, according to LTFRB, these documents were just a figment of Claire's and her lawyer's imagination. Seeing that she got too cocky too soon, she showed the documents after the decision had been handed down.

It also bears mentioning that Claire did not deny participating in the strike during the hearings and she was heard all over radio threatening a strike.

This fucking bitch! She embodies what is wrong with capitalism. It makes one think Marx had the right idea.

Claire is a money-hungry businesswoman who has grown too big for her breeches. You do not go on strike when your source of income is threatened. You try to arrive at compromise.

Let us assume that Claire is being made an example of to smaller bus operators. There is nothing wrong with that. You do not dictate the government because those bus franchises you hold are a privilege. You and the other bus operators are at the mercy of the government and the riding public, not the other way around, you bitch.

Claire is calling herself the "poster girl" of the industry. It comes to find posters you find behind doors that are made a target ala-dart boards. I want this poster of Claire and punch it in the face.

107 buses, the bitch! Imagine how much carbon dioxide emission would be saved and how many other air pollutants would be eliminated if this bitch's 107 buses are gone for good.

Another thing to hate this bitch about is when you travel to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong and you ride their rail system. It makes you envious, which is not a good feeling. You dream about a time when Claire and her ilk are no longer around to make daily commuting a living hell.

Third thing to hate about Claire is she leaves me with a nasty feeling whenever I see her mug on TV and hear her voice on radio.

Save it, Claire! Your cabalen Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is no longer in power, you bitch.

Pambansang Kabit No More

Just as many of us have forgotten the existence of one Krista Ranillo, she out of the blue declares that "IT IS OVER" between her and the one who should not be named.

Well, Krista never spoke the name but we all know who she's referring to: Pambansang Kamao, Manny Paquiao.

The news is not news to me. I mean sooner or later one of them will call it quits. Krista has gotten what she wants out of that relationship. She's now a businesswoman in Los Angeles, California. And Manny, well he's moved on to fresher meat a few millions poorer.

I was all ready to hail Krista as the epitome of a gold digger next to Gretchen Barretto but she had to open her mouth and show what a dumb bitch really she is. With three words she called her relatives who came out of the wood work to defend her reputation liars and manggagamit. Hello Matt Ranillo and Suzette Ranillo!

But I have to give credit where credit is due. Krista may be dumb but she's a cockroach that will survive even the apocalypse. If we think she's somewhere lying in gutter crying her loss of income, think again. Krista is in a relationship and she's engaged to be married! Her new man is not just any guy. The guy does not have a wife and kid stashed somewhere and more importantly he owns a supermarket. Bravo, Krista!

Gold Digging Epic Fail

So Chavit Singson, Deputy National Security Adviser, and his bodyguards beat up his common-law wife, Rachel “Che” Tiongson and her boyfriend Richard Catral.

According to Chavit, “mabait pa ako, hindi ko sila pinatay.” However, he is now singing a different tune. While he admits that Che and her boyfriend were beaten, it was not him who beat up them up but “others,” possibly referring to his bodyguards.

I’m trying to work up enough energy to sympathize, but I can’t because all the players in this sordid drama have the morals of an alleycat.

Chavit Singson is now facing charges of domestic violence and physical abuse.

Che Tiongson is an embarrassment to innocent and beautiful girls out there who “want to grow up and marry a rich man old enough to be my father/grandfather.” You were living in Corinthian Gardens and traveling all over the word, for heaven’s sake! EPIC FAIL at goldigging, Che.

Seriously though, we all know Che Tiongson finally had an epiphany that fresh and young meat always trumps the old and musty ones, goons and money be damned.

There’s Cogie Domingo. Nilinaw ni Cristy Fermin na hindi si Cogie ang nabugbog ni Chavit at ng body guards niya, si Richard Catral yun. Pero hindi nya binanggit na si Cogie nagkaroon din ng relasyon kay Che Tiongson kaya sumibat si Cogie papuntang USA dahil hina hunting siya ni Chavit Singson.

Cristy Fermin is now saying Cogie did not know Che Tiongson was someone else’s mistress at that time. Che Tiongson seconded that Cogie Domingo was just her “barkada.”

I did not start reading Bulgar just yesterday, so I know Cristy Fermin is revising history to help Cogie along in his return to showbusiness. Che Tiongson is still trying to convince us na “hindi siya mahilig sa lalaki.”

What’s wrong with Cogie sleeping with a mistress of another man? Morally speaking, none. He’s stupid and doesn’t know any better than to let what’s in his pants rule him. Cogie could have anyone as his fuck buddy but he chose to poach on another man’s property. And that other man being rich, influential and powerful. EPIC FAIL at manwhoring, Cogie.

As for Chavit, I hope that one or two of the wild tigers he’s keeping as pets open their eyes one day and see Chavit for what he is – food. Let us all pray.

Chavit is not resigning or taking a leave from his government position because in his words “wala akong kasalanan. I’m the victim.” Iadya mo po kami sa mga taong makakapal ang mukha at in denial.

In the early days of the controversy, Chavit bragged that he took a picture of Che’s fuck buddy Richard Catral with his pants down. He took glee in saying on national TV that Richard’s privates were barely two inches.

Uhm, penises are known to retract in very cold weather. Cold shower, anyone? So I assume the privates of Che’s current manwhore tried its bestest to hide from Chavit’s wrath.

Anyway, Chavit is one to make fun of man’s small penis. If he can prove that he can choke a ‘ho with his large equipment, then carry on. However, if his tutuy is only a half inch or so bigger than the other man’s he doesn’t have bragging rights, does he?

Chavit is a big hypocrite whose world view remains in the Middle Ages. He calls himself a victim because he believes his mistresses are chattel. While he accuses his common-law wife of cheating, he himself has had several mistresses and has fathered forty-plus children.

Aside from being a hypocrite, makapal din mukha ni Chavit because he used the resources of the National Security Adviser’s office to spy on his wife. Chavit denied it but alam naman natin ang karakas ng mukha ni Chavit.

In the first preliminary hearing, both parties were given a gag order banning them from speaking to the media anything related to the case. I thought parents who really for the welfare of their children should have done this without prompting from the court.

Mikey Arroyo: How Do You Earn Millions?

Mikey Arroyo and his brother Dato are in the center of a controversy regarding their unexplained wealth.

I never once read from Francisco J. Colayco’s Bulgar column “Easy Money” (Pera Mo Palaguin Mo) the advice “get elected for public office” as a sure way to become a multi-millionaire.

This is so obvious and has become a tradition. Of course, not all public/government official does this. Yun lang mga ganid sa pera at kapangyarihan.

Apparently, matapang ang hiya ni Mickey to appear on TV via Unang Hirit to explain his side of the controvery.

Click the YouTube videos below to hear how Mikey Arroyo wormed his way out of the current controversy he’s in and whether he succeeded.

I’m still not decided whether it was stupidity or sheer arrogance that made Mickey Arroyo appear on a live TV program to answer/clear the allegations regarding his wealth that dramatically increased over a short period of time.

Kudos to Winnie Monsod and Arnod Clavio for not treating Mickey Arroyo with kid gloves, thereby allowing us to see that Mikey’s Mama has not trained him sufficiently well on how to lie. What he learned from his Papa is, if no answer comes to mind just say “ask my lawyer.”

’Ina! Hindi man lang natakot humarap kay Winnie Monsod na hindi handa sa sagot nya. Uminom ka naman ng kapeng barako, yung hindi dumaan sa coffee maker, para nerbiyusin ka naman ng konti.

So how did Mikey Arroyo earn his millions? According to him, he got it from generous wedding gifts and excess campaign donations. Campaign donations. What a moron. “As far as I’m concerned.” Bobo. I think it’s safe to say that Mikey Arroyo fell out of the idiot tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Another way to earn millions is through lotto. Who among us did not receive that chain e-mail alleging that the winners of the multi-million peso lotto jackpots are Mikey and Dato? The lotto are draws are said to be manipulated to make it appear that there is a winner(s) when there’s none. Kung totoo ito, hindi sana kayo buhayin ng madlang Pilipino.

Mga ganid! There’s already a special place for you and your family in hell. Enjoy your millions there.

From Your Lips to God's Ears

From DJ Mo's Twitter: "Mark my word, let me proclaim, I believe Rufa Mae Quinto is engaged to Mikey Arroyo. Who wants to bet I'm wrong?"

UPDATE: Rufa Mae has reacted to DJ Mo's Twitter. According to her, she's sad. No outright denial that it is not Mikey Arroyo.

Magdilang anghel ka, DJ Mo. Kung totoo ito, so malamang natuhog ni Rufa Mae ang mag-ama?

I will get to RepresentaTHIEVE Mikey Arroyo later on how stupid he is that he can’t even manage to loot the country’s coffers and lie about it with a straight face.

Sometimes when I watch DJ Mo on TV I wish he’d shut up, but overall I like him because he says what’s on his mind regardless of whoever it is. Remember DJ Mo’s catfight with Cristy Fermin?

I came across this exchange between DJ Mo and Cristy Fermin on 89.9 in some blog. I don’t know whether this is real or imagined, but it brings the funny.

Fermin : Is it true you called me stupid?
Mo : Yes, i did say you're stupid
Fermin : blah blah blah (kept on shouting at him)
MO : Ate Cristy
Fermin : Don't call me ate
Mo : Tita
Fermin : Don't call me tita
Mo : Miss Fermin
Fermin : Don't call me Miss
MO : Okay, Shrek
Fermin : Why did you call me shrek?
Mo : Because you're not giving me any options......... come on..........

Okay, on to DJ Mo. DJ Mo has been forever a thorn on the side of Rufa Mae because although they belong to same Sunday showbiz talk show (Showbiz Central), DJ Mo is not above implicating Rufa Mae in scandals and controversies such as her affair with Hayden Kho and her alleged sex video with Hayden Kho.

I don’t think Rufa Mae and DJ Mo share the same screen or segment on their show. That’s how unamicable they are. Neither would resign, so Rufa Mae is forced to see DJ Mo’s mug at least once a week when all she probably wanted to do is stuff him inside a medium-sized luggage (he’d fit in there) and never let him go.

I’m still wondering what Rufa Mae is doing in Showbiz Central except magpa cute and magpakita ng cleavage. I swear she’s not adding anything to the show. Raymond Gutierrez, the not popular twin, I can tolerate even though I wish that I could stuff his annoying eyeglasses in his mouth. I swear, gay, it’s not flattering with your fat cheeks. It’s Richard who has the high cheekbones.

What is Rufa Mae doing in show business? To give hope to girls with big boobs and small brains that they too can enter show business, use the showbiz connection to boost their profile and land a rich papa.

Controversy Surrounds National Artist Nominations

Artists are protesting President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s decision to confer the national artist award to an official of the agency that screens the nominees for the prestigious title, and a movie director whose nomination had been rejected twice.

Critics said Cecille Guidote Alvarez should have had the delicadeza to refuse because she is the executive director of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), which administers the award together with the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). Alvarez heads the NCAA secretariat that receives nominations for national artists.

Mrs. Arroyo recently conferred the award to seven individuals: Manuel Conde for cinema; Federico Aguilar Alcuaz for visual arts; Lazaro Francisco for literature; Francisco “Bobby" Mañoza for architecture; Jose "Pitoy" Moreno for fashion; Magno Jose Carlo Caparas for visual arts and film; and Alvarez for theater.

Caparas’ nomination was twice rejected by two NCAA panels. Caparas was first proposed as a nominee for literature, but the committee rejected him. He was again proposed as nominee for visual artist but the panel again turned him down. The title conferred to Caparas “appeared to have duplicated" that of Conde.

Film Academy of the Philippines director general Leo Martinez was also surprised how Caparas landed on the elite list. "He was obviously added by Malacañang," Martinez said on Spot.ph. Caparas, a comics writer who later turned to film making, is known to be a vocal supporter of Mrs. Arroyo.


The NCAA and CCP panel only submitted four names to Mrs. Arroyo: Conde, Alcuaz, Lazaro, and Ramon Santos, who was nominated as national artist for music. Santos was not included in Mrs. Arroyo’s list of awardees.

National artist for visual arts Benedicto Reyes Cabrera said “There used to be prestige. Well, since the presidency of Ramos there has been an understanding that the President can add one choice … there was Carlos Quirino (historical literature) , Alejandro " Anding ‘ Roces (literature) , Abdulmari Asia Imao (visual arts). But this time (Mrs. Arroyo) added four."

“They might as well just appoint (their own choices) and not go through the whole process. I will boycott the awards. I will not march. I will not mention any names but we heard that there was one very influential person who helped manipulate the results," Cabrera said.
