Radio host questions why Ninoy Aquino’s case is still unsolve despite two Aquino Presidents: “NO LEGACY, ONLY MYSTERY!”

A radio host wondered why former Senator Benigno
“Ninoy” Aquino Jr.’s case was still unsolved despite the power his family got in the past 37 years.

In a Facebook post, Mark Lopez pointed out that Ninoy’s wife, Cory Aquino became the President of the country, while his son, Benigno Aquino III also became the chief executive.

Aside from two Presidents, the Aquino clan also produced lawmakers, LGU officials, and even cabinet members.

Some members of the said clan also became influential in society in different sectors.

However, despite the power gained by the Aquino clan, Lopez questioned why the case of one of their most known family member was still not solved.

Lopez then accused the Aquino clan of hiding the truth to the people.

Here’s what Lopez wrote:

“NO LEGACY, ONLY MYSTERY”
(2020 version)

“The wife became President.”

“The only son became President.”

“Several relatives were either senators, congressmen, cabinet members, governors, mayors.”

“Other relatives were so influential in most sectors of society.”

“Even the youngest daughter became a most sensational celebrity, but not because of talent but only because of her pedigree and the ass-licking of the powers-that-be in the showbiz world.”

“Several oligarchs, politicians, church leaders, academe, civil society beholden to them until now.”

“More than 3 decades of uninterrupted power and influence.”

“AND YET 37 YEARS HAS PASSED, THE QUESTION REMAIN -“

“WHO IS BEHIND THE MURD3R OF NINOY?”

“Hindi ba malinaw na g*guhan?”

Former President Ferdinand Marcos was being blamed for what happened to Ninoy even until today.

The demise of Ninoy in 1983 influenced the public to launch the People Power Revolution which resulted in the ouster of Marcos.

In 1995, Ninoy’s daughter, Kris Aquino interviewed Ferdinand Marcos’ son, Bongbong.

Kris recognized that the reason why her father was detained was because of the order of the former President.

However, the talk show host also mentioned that the Marcos family also helped them to fly Ninoy to the U.S to have medical treatment.

As a response, Bongbong talked about the friendship between his father and Ninoy.

 

Inday Sara Duterte reveals surprising details about four known opposition politicians: “Lahat ito hindi chismis!”

Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte’s post against four known opposition politicians has gone viral again on social media.

In a Facebook post, netizen Rafael R. Gomez shared the post of the presidential daughter that originally wrote in 2017.

The post was about Inday Sara’s reaction with the group Tindig Pilipinas which was led by the members of the opposition.

As retaliation, the Mayor shared personal experiences together with Senators Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, Risa Hontiveros and former senator Antonio Trillanes IV.

She mentioned Vice President Leni Robredo on her post, but she didn’t reveal anything about the latter distanced herself from the group.

Inday Sara called Tindig Pilipinas as “Hunger Games Pilipinas” because the hand sign of the said group was almost the same with the three-finger salute that the said movie popularized.

The Mayor posted it on her now-deactivated Facebook account.

“Kiko Pangilinan- Several years ago nagkita tayo dito sa Davao, sa isang golf club, pinuntuhan mo si PRD. Gusto mo tumakbo Presidente, ansabe mo? “With Sharon’s indorsement and your (PRD) indorsement I’m sure I can make it.” Dati pa-indorse ka sa kanya ngayon may pa hunger games salute effect ka.”

“Risa Hontiveros – Sa picture ikaw ang pinaka makapal ang foundation acheng. Habang tinutulungan ko si PRD at ang nanay ko mangampanya, nasa byaheng du30 ako, ilang beses mo ako inabala, kinulit at tinawagan para humingi ka ng tulong sa boto mo sa Davao City? I can remember your bored face listening to me in our law office just so you can get support for Davao.”

“Trillanes – Years ago, nagrequest ka makipag kita sa akin dito sa Davao,nasa Damosa ka, ano sabi ko sa emissary mo? No. You know why? I never liked your circus sa Manila Peninsula. Pero meron ako picture na nakipagkita ka kay PRD kasi humingi ka ng tulong niya sa VP campaign mo.”

“VP Robredo – I’ll reserve my remarks kasi sabi mo naman hindi ka member ng Hunger Games Pilipinas.”

Inday Sara Duterte said that what she wrote was not rumors but “personal knowledge”.

She then asked the opposition politicians why they asked for President Rodrigo Duterte’s support during his time as a Mayor of Davao City if they have problem with his governance.

“Lahat ito hindi chismis kasi personal knowledge ko at may corroborative witnesses ako. Matanong ko lang, nung mga panahon na humingi kayo ng tulong, may isyu ba kayo sa governance ni PRD? Wala. Ngayon na nanalo na siya? Meron. Hunger Games, Pilipinas: Plastic na, oportunista pa. Kayo 3 may ambisyon mag Presidente, I grew up in politics, mas matagal pako sa pulitika kesa sa inyo 3 combined. I smell ambition a million miles away. Akala ninyo yung circus ninyo ngayon magpapanalo sa inyo sa 2022? Hindi.” she said.

“Mamuyboy ko? Yes. You don’t use PRD whenever convenient para sa pulitika ninyo. Kung wala ang boto ng Mindanao, mananalo kaya kayo?” she added.

The repost of Gomez reached 1,400 shares and 3,900 reactions on social media.

 

Nakalaya parin! Suspects behind the septic tank case walks free

The two suspects behind the demise of Mrs. Evelyn Sayos walked free.

GMA-7’s Imbestigador featured the story of Sayos, who allegedly faced her end in the hands of her own daughter with the help of the latter’s boyfriend.

The said episode showed that Joanna Marie Sayos and her boyfriend Ronald James Ruby gained their temporary freedom because the authorities were still not sure if the body they found buried under the septic tank was Mrs. Sayos’.

The prosecution team also agreed to the decision as they’re still waiting for the DNA result that would tell the real identity of the body.

Imbestigador also discussed how the suspects did such a vile act to Mrs. Rayos who accepted their relationship and even allowed them to live together.

According to the investigation, Ruby started to instill resentment towards the victim because he’s always being scolded for being jobless.

After months of planning, the victim faced her demise in her exact birth month and allegedly buried by Ruby in a septic tank behind their house.

Suspects even used the social media of the victim to convince everyone that Mrs. Sayos really went to Singapore to work.

Joanna Marie even greeted her mother on social media several times, but many suspected that the latter was already buried when she made the post.

Pilo Hilbay slams “perpetual isolation” of President Duterte: “A true leader will not selfishly hide”

Defeated Senatorial candidate and former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay slammed President Rodrigo Duterte for doing “perpetual isolation” to protect his health.

In a tweet, the known critic of the current administration said that the perpetual isolation showed the incapacity of Duterte to do his job.

He also believed that a true leader would not choose to hide in the middle of the crisis happening in the country.

“Perpetual isolation in the midst of a pandemic is incapacity to perform the functions of the office,” said Hilbay.

“A true leader will not selfishly hide while the nation is suffering,” he added.

Malacanang said that Duterte volunteered to isolate himself after one of his cabinet members, Interior Secretary Eduardo Año tested positive with COVID-19.

The Presidential Security Group (PSG) assured that no one would get close to Duterte because of health reasons.

“The president is in perpetual isolation because no one can come close to him, whenever we meet with him there’s a velvet rope that keeps him at least six feet away from everyone else. No one can really come close to the president,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said.

“He is in perpetual isolation in the sense that PSG has done a very good job in making sure that no one really comes close to the president,” he added.

The President seems cooperating now with the PSG when it comes to health protocols.

In March, President Duterte complained about the “no-touch policy” being imposed by the PSG.

“Kalokohan ‘yan.I will shake hands … Anak, ilang [beses] ko bang sinasabi na sa iyo na kung tawagin ang Diyos sa oras na ito, pupunta na ako.Tapos na ako.Naging Presidente na ako, pinakamataas na maabot ng isang tao, mga anak ko okay na,” the President said.

 

Atty. Larry Gadon reveals that he’s not a believer of face mask: “The mask is only for a show”

Defeated senatorial candidate Atty. Larry Gadon revealed that he’s not convinced with the effectivity of face masks.

Gadon made his statement in an interview with CNN’s Rex Remition after he was spotted plastering face mask on the face shield.

“I don’t believe in mask outdoors. Face shield is okay. Mask may be good for small enclosed places like elevators or small conference rooms,” said Gadon.

“In my case, the mask is only for a show because stores will not allow entry if you don’t have mask,” he added.

The lawyer who became famous for pushing an impeachment complaint against Maria Lourdes Sereno even asked why the cases of virus are still rising despite the face mask policy in the country.

He believed that everybody will catch the virus “someway somehow sooner or later”.

“What is more important is your healthy body, your strong immune system. NOT THE MASK. COVID Fear was created by paranoia,” he said.

“COVID is curable at the onset when symptoms are felt. One should only take the traditional Chinese medicine,” he added.

Gadon also said that the government was overreacting on the pandemic.

“I don’t believe in masks,” the lawyer said before the end of the interview.

According to a survey, 91% of Filipinos were following the face mask policy of the government.

Many scientists, experts, and even the World Health Organization (WHO) were confident in the effectiveness of face mask to protect the people from the virus.

Veteran journalist criticizes IATF policies like mandatory face shield: “Anong kag*g*han ito Mr. President?”

A veteran journalist couldn’t hide his disappointment over the policies being implemented by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF).

In a Facebook post, Jay Sonza said he’s already near to describe the actions of IATF as “overreacting” because of the ideas they’re trying to apply to the people.

Sonza also claimed that there’s no other countries in the world that urging the people to wear a face shield and face mask at the same time.

“Malapit ko ng sabihing OA na masyado itong IATF natin. There is no country in the world that requires their citizens to wear face mask and face shield all at the same time to protect them from the Pandemic. Wala na ngang pambili ng ulam iyong Pilipino, pagagastusin nyo pa ng pambili ng face shield,” said Sonza.

He even asked if the officials of IATF are only trying to pretend as an expert when it comes on handling a pandemic.

Sonza pointed out that face shields should be reserved to the frontliners and other people who were vulnerable.

“And higit na nangangailangan ng face masks at face shields at PPEs ay ang mga Frontliners na nagkakasakit na. Utang na loob, IATF. Our life is alteady difficult as it is. Please don’t make it misearable. Anong kag*g*han ito Mr. President?” he said.

Starting August 15, commuters are being required to wear face shields in public transport.

Employees are also being asked to wear face shields while doing their job.

Effective August 15, it is not only a face mask that workers should wear but also face shields. That is the new protocol,” Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said on Wednesday.

Research muna bago comment! Doctor defends Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) in Davao City from critics

A doctor defended the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) located in Davao City after some critics questioned why the said hospital received the biggest amount of Philippine Health Insurance Corporation’s (PhilHealth) Internal Reimbursement Mechanism (IRM) for COVID-19 treatment among other hospitals.

In a Facebook post, Dr. Bernard Chiew, a cardiologist from Davao City listed the ‘facts’ about SPMC so the critics would not get confused about why the said hospital was receiving big amount of money from PhilHealth.

Here’s what he said:

“1) Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) is in Davao City. Davao Regional Medical Center (DRMC) is in another province, at Tagum City in Davao Del Norte.”

“2) SPMC is the biggest government hospital in the country with 1500 beds. PGH is second with 1100 beds.”

“3) How big is SPMC? For the Department of Internal Medicine alone, which is largely responsible for taking care of COVID patients, there are 83 medical residents and 95 medical consultants. Our department is bigger than the whole medical staff and trainees of most hospitals.”

“Total number of residents/fellows and consultants for all the departments of SPMC? 475 residents and fellows. 399 consultants.”

“4) SPMC is the ONLY government hospital in Davao City, serving the whole of Mindanao as a medical center. For SPMC, there is no such thing as “puno na ang hospital. Lumipat na lang kayo sa iba!”. The buck stops here.”

“5) As for Covid, SPMC is the only Covid center in the Davao area. BECAUSE WE ARE SMART HERE IN DAVAO, we centralized the treatment of Covid. Until recently, private hospitals were not allowed to admit Covid. Now, only mild cases of COVID are allowed in private hospitals. It is still SPMC which is ground zero for the COVID treatment. By doing this, we are able to maximize manpower and resources and streamline our response.”

“6) SPMC is not just an “infirmary clinic” that others make it appear. Since the start of the Covid Pandemic, on average, SPMC is taking care of more than 130 in-patient Covid cases daily (about 100 adult Covid patients and 30 pediatric covid cases). This does not include the hundreds of other non-COVID cases in the hospital.”

“7) In Metro Manila, unlike in Davao City’s SPMC, PGH do not bear the brunt of ALL covid cases. Covid cases are being admitted in private hospitals and other government hospitals in Metro Manila.”

“8)Actually, Metro Manila got the biggest share of Covid funds at Php592M (PGH, National Kidney and Transplant Institute, and Quirino Memorial Medical Center). Davao CIty (SPMC) got Php326M.”

The doctor then called out the people making comments against SPMC without making their proper research.

He also criticized the “intellectually dishonest” people who were aware of the facts but still chose to comment against SPMC.

Chiew then said the critics should stop comparing SPMC and the Philippine General Hospital in Metro Manila.

“I just wanted to show how much SPMC has developed and improved the last 20 yrs. Besides, our colleagues in PGH are our friends. Most of the consultants at SPMC had their training in PGH. This is not about SPMC vs PGH. It will never be SPMC vs PGH,” he said.

The doctor included a video showing the development of SPMC

On August 11, Philhealth legal counsel Roberto Labe Jr. showed the top 10 hospitals receiving IRM in the country.

It showed that SPMC received 326-M followed by PGH, P263-M, Davao Regional Medical Center, P209-M, Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center, P204 million, Jose B. Lingad Memorial Regional Hospital, P201-M, National Kidney and Transplant Institute, P179-M, Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center, P165-M , Northern Mindanao Medical Center, P150.2-M , Quirino Memorial Medical Center P150-M , Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center, P146.2-M

 

Korina Sanchez reveals her prenup agreement with Mar Roxas: “Hindi ako humihingi ng pera sa asawa ko”

Korina Sanchez revealed that she’s financially independent from her husband, former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas.

In an Instagram live interview on August 10, Sanchez-Roxas revealed her financial set up with her husband, saying that she never asked for money from him.

Sanchez said that other women should also try to fund their own lifestyles like her.

“Hindi ako humihingi ng pera sa asawa ko,” the Kapamilya broadcaster said.

“You should have your own money. Buy your own poison. Fund your own lifestyle,” she added.

According to her, her financial independence from her husband was part of their prenup agreement.

Sanchez-Roxas also claimed that she dated one of the most popular telenovela actor Fernando Carrillo who became the partner of Thalia in Rosalinda.

“We dated pero walang nangyari. Not even a kiss. Nothing. Natakot ako. Fernando is such a darling but you have to be ready for him. Super gwapo, super sweet, pero I really ran away from him. And he remembers that,” she said.

Sanchez is busy spending time with her husband and twins Pepe and Pilar whom they conceived via surrogate.

Salvador Panelo to Angel Locsin: “Bakit mo nilalabanan ang gobyerno? Lahat ng mga banat mo puro sa gobyerno.”

Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo talked about Kapamilya defender Angel Locsin in his program “Counterpoint” last Friday.

During his program, Panelo reminded Locsin to avoid contradicting her statement, saying that the actress already told her followers that the real enemy amid the crisis happening in the country is the virus.

However, Panelo asked why the actress became critical of the government if she believed that the enemy is the virus and not the people.

The former spokesperson of President Duterte then urged Locsin to use her fame to ask the people to cooperate with the government.

“Naalala ko tuloy si Angel Locsin. Ang sabi mo ang kalaban hindi ang health workers, ang kalaban ‘yung virus. O tama ka doon. Eh bakit kung ‘yun ang kalaban eh bakit mo nilalabanan ang gobyerno? Lahat ng mga banat mo puro sa gobyerno. Ang dapat labanan natin ‘yung virus,” Panelo said.

“Dapat gamitin mo dahil ikaw naman ay kilala at hinahangaan, gamitin mo manawagan ka na mag-cooperate tayo. hindi ‘yung puro banat ka, ginagaya mo “yung mga kritiko,” he added.

Locsin is one of the celebrities who reacted to President Duterte when the chief executive scolded the health workers for calling for a revolution.

“Eh kung mag-revolution kayo, you will give me the free ticket to stage a counterrevolution. How I wish you would do it,” the President said.

As response, Locsin made a series of Instagram stories to defend the health workers.

screencap from @therealangellocsin Instagram story

Locsin also became vocal on defending ABS-CBN and even urged the other celebrities to speak against the controversial decision of the Congress.

“Magkaisa tayo at wag magpagamit,” Locsin said.

However, some accused Locsin of being active on defending ABS-CBN because she’s one of the stockholder of the broadcasting network.

Locsin already denied that she’s defending her former network because of money.
