Bilibid high-profile inmate Jaybee Sebastian cremated quickly after failing to fight COVID-19

One of the high-profile inmates of New Bilibid Prison (NBP) who point out Senator Leila De Lima during the congressional inquiry on the proliferation of illegal drugs in the national penitentiary in 2016 was reportedly passed away due to COVID-19.

Jaybee Sebastian, one of the most popular inmates of the national penitentiary after being featured in a documentary was quickly cremated according to the officials of the Bureau of Correction (BuCor) to follow the COVID-19 protocols.

To prove the authenticity of the news, officials showed a certificate of death registered to Sebastian.

They also showed a photo of Sebastian’s ashes.

His remains were brought to Panteon de Dasmarinas.

Bakante naman ‘yung isang machine namin kaya pinasalang na agad namin ‘yung patay,” the crematorium officer said.

Sebastian was serving two life sentences for committing kidnap-for-ransom and carjacking in 2009.

In 2013 he was featured on Discovery Channel UK’s documentary, showing how the groups detained at NBP had participated in keeping the law and order inside the national penitentiary.

In 2016, Sebastian claimed that he was asked to raise funds for the senatorial campaign of now-detained Senator Leila De Lima.

“Tatlong araw matapos ang nasabing raid, kami ay nagkausap ni Joenel Sanchez at isa sa aming napag-usapan ay ‘Tutal naman ako lang ang naiwan sa Maximum Security Compound, tulungan ko raw sa pondo sa darating na eleksyon si DOJ Secretary (De Lima) ‘” Sebastian said.

May narinig ako sa kabilang linya na boses ng babae na kaboses ni Sec. De Lima at sinabi niya sa akin ‘Jaybee, Merry Christmas’ at sumagot naman ako na  ‘Merry Christmas din po, Ma’am. Natanggap niyo po ba ang regalo ko sa’yo?’ at sumagot naman si secretary, ‘Yes, Jaybee, Merry Christmas,’ he added.

De Lima denied the accusations of Sebastian, saying that the latter may be an asset of the government.

BB Gandanghari reacts to Ogie Diaz’s comments about her criticisms against Vice Ganda: “Napakalaki mong bangaw”

Rustom Padilla who’s now known as BB Gandanghari responded to Ogie Diaz’s comments about her.

In her Youtube Livestream, Gandanghari called Diaz’s statement as non-sense and advised the talent manager to borrow face to the monkey before appearing on camera.

“You are telling me to the face that it’s been a long time, really? And who are you? Ikaw ba ang nasagasaan, ikaw ba ang nasaktan? Please don’t ever diminish our contents, insecure ka, inggit na inggit ka kasi ngayon,” Gandanghari told Diaz.

Gandanghari claimed that Diaz earned money from destroying reputations of celebrity.

He also revealed that Diaz was the talent manager of Vice Ganda when the comedian questioned the transformation of the former action star.

“Yan ding Ogie Diaz na ‘yan ang manager ni Vice Ganda… Tanda… noong ginawa nila sa akin to,” she said. “Siya ‘yung manager noon, sila ‘yung nagkaisa, alam nila kung ano potential noong BB, kaya ganon ang ginawa nila noon,” 

She also called Diaz a lier, telling the talent manager that Vice’s appearance never improved since he started his showbiz career.

Gandanghari then boasted that she’s earning dollars without destroying any reputation.

“Ikaw napakalaking bangaw, hindi ko alam kung sino sa inyo ni Vice Tanda, kung sino ang bangaw at kung sino ang ebs, honestly ‘yung pupu, hindi ko alam kung sino sa inyo ‘yan pero either or, sakay ka ngayon eh, kasi nasa trending,” she said.

“So sino sa atin ang nangagamit? Magpasalamat ka nalang but don’t bash me sa ginagawa mong ganyan, you think I’ll take that with a grain of salt, are you insulting my intellectuality?” she added.

Gandanghari pointed out that Diaz and Vice didn’t criticize her, but her transition from being a man to a transgender person that also being experienced by many people.

“Hindi ako ‘yung tinira niyo noon, ang tinira niyo noon ay ‘yung pinag dadaanan ng isang tao na pinagdadaanan ng napakaraming tao din, pero dahil sa mga katulad niyo, ay nag su-suffer ang mga taong ito, umiiyak ng mag isa, nawawalan ng self-esteem, may mental anguish,” she said.

Ogie Diaz, on a social media post, reacted to Gandanghari’s vlogs, questioning why the latter brought up an issue that it’s already decade old.

“Ang luma na kasi ng issue, sana inano (binalik ni BB), hindi pa nga maganda si Vice Ganda, tapos ibabalik ni BB Gandanghari, sana hindi niya na binalik, ang luma ng issue, nakabaon na nga ‘yun ipapaalala, syempre gumagawa siya ng vlog.. alam na,” Diaz said.

Diaz clarified that he’s not defending Vice on the issue, and only questioning the timing of Gandanghari’s criticisms.

In one of her vlogs, Gandanghari slammed Vice on a statement the latter made in 2009.

“Super love ko si Rustom… ‘yung buhay na Rustom bago pinatay, ang creepy, sino bang pumatay kay Rustom? Hindi siya proud na bading siya, hindi naman niya kini-claim na bading siya,” Ganda said.

“Nag modeling school sa new york yata, bakit mag momodela? Ngayon siya magmo-modeling nasa 40s diba medyo may edad na,” he added.

“Ayaw mong tanggapin ang pagkababae ko, kukuwestyunin mo. Eh, wala ka naman palang sense. Masuwerte ka at sumikat ka, dahil bobita ka, `yun lang ang masasabi ko sa’yo,” Gandanghari said.

On Friday, Trillanes said that he’s hoping that the situation would not turn around, mentioning Go’s involvement on the P15.5-B controversial Philippine Navy frigate deal.

“Malakas makapang-bully ng estudyante itong Bong Go na ‘to. Siguraduhin mo lang na di iikot ang mundo, kundi may kalalagyan ka. Tatandaan mo, dokumentado yung sabit mo sa frigate scam,” Trillanes said.

As a response, Go slammed Trillanes calling him as the king of fake news and the real “Bikoy”

Go was referring to the claims of Alyas Bikoy on social media against Go and the members of Duterte family.

Peter Joemel Advincula who claimed that he’s the one speaking on Bikoy video revealed that Trillanes got involved in their project.

“Bagyong Trillanes! Isa kang hari ng fake news, manloloko na walang ginawa kundi manira ng kapwa, at alam naman natin na ikaw ang totoong Bikoy. Kaya nga ako biglang naging senador dahil sa pambibintang mong walang basis at walang katotohanan,” said Go.

“Nagsawa na ang tao sa madumi mong style na puro black propaganda kaya bumoto sila ng mga bago na tunay na magseserbisyo sa bayan,” he added.

Go vowed that if ever Trillanes win a seat in the senate in 2022, he would investigate the anomalies of the latter.

“Antayin kita dito sa Senado kung manalo ka sa susunod na eleksyon at sabay nating imbestigahan ang mga anomalya mo. Hindi mo na maloloko ang taumbayan,” he said.

ABS-CBN’s reality show Pinoy Big Brother (PBB): Celebrity Edition 1 (2006) winner Janet Derecho Duterte popularly known as Keanna Reeves proved that she’s a solid supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte.

“I am PROUD and LOUD that I am a solid Duterte supporter (DDS) and it is my POLITICAL VIEWS!” Reeves said “But it doesn’t mean that I’m happy for those ABS-CBN employees who lost their jobs. What makes me angry is WHY you always blame our Pres. every time??? Since then I always defend my Pres. and I will always “STAND” my PRIDE and my BELIEFS!!!”

“Hindi ako kagaya ng iba dyan, kung saan makinabang dun din sila or yong iba dyan PLASTIC!!!!” she added.

She also addressed the people criticizing the government despite not working at ABS-CBN and just trying to involve themselves on the issue.

According to her, she would understand if the people criticizing the government right now are the affected employees of ABS-CBN.

“Ok lang naman kung mag criticize kayo sa gobyerno, “its your right” kung talagang may pinaglalaban kayo! Halata namang wala talaga kayong pinaglalaban. Mula ng nakaupo si Duterte, lahat ng issue sinasakyan n’yo para lang kay Duterte n’yo agad ibabato!” Reeves said.

“Ang gusto n’yo lang talaga ay ayaw n’yo lang kay Duterte kaya kahit ano pa man, isa lang ang interest n’yo ay ang KALABANIN at KONTRAHIN si DUterte!!!” she added.

Heartbreaking! Karen Davila prepares to lose her job after ABS-CBN layoffs Ces Oreña-Drilon

Journalist Karen Davila is also preparing to lost her job in ABS-CBN after her long-time colleague, Ces Oreña-Drilon, announced that she’s going to lost her job in August 31.

Oreña-Drilon was among the hundreds of workers that would be affected by the decision of ABS-CBN after the House of Representatives rejected their franchise application.

“This was one of the toughest days I had to face. Telling fellow kapamilyas that they would lose their jobs by end of August. I lost mine too,” Oreña-Drilon tweeted.

She worked at ABS-CBN since 1989 and one of the most vocal defenders of ABS-CBN during the franchise issue of the said network.

Karen Davila expressed her sadness over the news, saying that she’s also preparing for the same situation.

“This is heartbreaking. @cesdrilon it’s been an honor to be alongside you in Bandila. You are an ABSCBN news icon and inspiration. I am preparing my heart as well for the worst and will stand by ABSCBN til the end,”

As a response, Oreña-Drilon urged Davila to continue what she’s doing.

“Thank you for these words of comfort Karen. Keep on exposing the lies and wrongdoing. This isn’t goodbye. See you again soon. Magsasama ulit tayo! Once a kapamilya, always a kampamilya!”

Davila then blamed the government for what’s happening to ABS-CBN right now.

“People have lost their jobs today. From top to bottom. Entire departments wiped out. Programs that supported thousands of artists, now off the air. The government didnt kill the Lopezes, they killed the livelihood of their own people. #70congressmen #ABSCBNFranchiseRenewal” she said.

On July 10, the 70 lawmakers voted against the franchise application of ABS-CBN, citing several violations allegedly committed by the television network giant.

 

Netizen on ABS-CBN issue: “Kung meron mang dapat sisihin sa pangyayari – hindi ang gobyerno kundi ang may-ari”

A netizen made a viral post about his reaction to the decision of the House of Representatives to reject the franchise application of ABS-CBN.

In his post, Marvin Torre said that he was saddened by employees of ABS-CBN who lost their job because of the decision of the 70 lawmakers, but he believes that in every battle, having collateral damage was inevitable.

According to him, people should stop blaming the government on what’s happening to ABS-CBN, saying that the executives thought that they’re untouchables.

He also cited that ABS-CBN committed tax avoidance to avoid paying a significant amount of money to the government.

Torre then mentioned Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta, who said that he’s just waiting for ABS-CBN to get down of their high horse during the 12-day house hearing. However, the people behind the Kapamilya network still insisted that they’re not doing something illegal.

The netizen clarified that he’s with the affected employees of ABS-CBN, but he said that they should also realize that the leaders of the Kapamilya network should be blamed on what’s happening to them.

He urged the employees not to allow themselves to be used by the executives of the Kapamilya network for their personal gains.

Here’s what Torre posted:

Sa totoo lang, ang laban sa pagitan ng ABS-CBN at gobyerno ay mahirap na laban. Kagaya ng anumang digmaan, hindi maiiwasan ang COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

At bagama’t nagtagumpay ang gobyerno, magkahalong saya at lungkot ang mararamdaman ng sinuman na may puso para sa kaniyang mga kababayan. Bakit? Dahil kapwa niya Pilipino ang mga CASUALTIES dito.

Ngunit, nangyari na. Nanaig ang dapat manaig.

At kung meron mang dapat sisihin sa pangyayari – hindi ang gobyerno kundi ang may-ari. Sila ang nagpabaya. Sila ang nagmalabis. Masyado silang nagmataas.

NAGPABAYA dahil 2014 pa sila unang nag-apply ng renewal ng franchise ngunit kanila rin itong binawi. Hinintay pa nila kung kailan nasa huling oras na nila. Nagkaroon ba ng problema sa pagitan ng Lopezes at Aquino administration?

NAGMALABIS dahil marami silang empleyado na dumaan na ang mahigit isang dekada ngunit hanggang ngayon ay contractual pa rin! Nagmalabis dahil gumamit sila ng TAX AVOIDANCE SCHEME para lang makaiwas sa malaking bayarin ng buwis sa gobyerno. Hindi nga ba’t meron silang utang sa gobyerno na P1.6-B na na-write off? Grabeh! Nangutang sila na inirekord sa tubig!!

NAGMATAAS dahil bagama’t sinasabi nila na tao lang din sila at nagkakamali ngunit WALA ISA MAN sa mga iniaakusa sa kanila ang kanilang INAMIN.

Ayon nga kay Rep. Marcoleta, iyon lamang ang hinihintay niya: ang magpakababa dahil ang kanilang paghingi ay katulad ng isang panliligaw. Ngunit sa halip, lalo pa nilang ipinagdiinan sa kanilang pagbabalita na wala umano silang nilalabag na anumang batas!

SAAN hinugot kung ganoon ang sinabi ni Mr. Katigbak na sila man ay nagkakamali rin kung wala ni isa man silang inaamin?

Kaya sa mga naapektuhan, paumanhin po. Hindi po tayo ang magkakalaban. Masakit na makita kayong “nagluluksa” dahil sa “pagkamatay” ng inyong “KAPAMILYA”. Nangyari pa sa panahon ng pandemya.

Ngunit gaya nga ng nasabi sa unang pahayag, hindi gobyerno ang dapat sisihin dito kundi ang pagmamalabis, pagiging tuso, pagpapabaya at kawalang malasakit ng may-ari at pamunuan sa inyo.

Huwag po kayong pagamit sa kanila upang muli silang makabalik para muling makapanamantala.

Ang usaping legal ay dapat dinadaan sa tamang proseso na hindi kailangang gumamit ng emotional appeal sa pamamagitan ninyo. Kung wala talaga silang kasalanan, hindi nila kayo kailangang gamitin at sa halip patunayan nila ito na hindi kayo kailangang nasa kanilang likuran.

Kapamilya network claims that 11,000 employees were affected by the ABS-CBN shutdown.

ABS-CBN has been accused of tax avoidance and violation of labor laws, but government agencies like BIR and SEC said that the Kapamilya network has no violation.

However, Rep. Boying Remulla questioned ABS-CBN avail of incentives.

Lahat ng pinag-uusapan dito kapag sa buwis, sinasabi niyong nabayaran niyo lahat at sinasabi niyong di kayo gumawa ng paraan para bumaba ang buwis niyo,” he said.

“Is that what ABS-CBN is saying? You don’t have tax avoidance mechanisms? … Tax avoidance is legal, tax evasion is illegal. Tax incentive is a tax avoidance measure,” he added.

Journalist claims that he’s being hired as editor-in-chief of ‘Dragon Broadcasting Network’ that rumored to replace ABS-CBN

A journalist who’s being critical to China claimed that a Chinese-owned broadcasting network will replace ABS-CBN.

Waldy Carbonell revealed the information during a live Facebook feed, saying that ‘Dragon Broadcasting Network’ was rumored to take the frequencies of the Kapamilya network after the house of representatives junked its franchise application.

According to him, they’re really planned to close down ABS-CBN to give the frequencies to the Chinese.

Carbonell who’s criticizing China many times and even burned its flag in public said that he’s being hired as the editor-in-chief of Dragon Broadcasting Network.

“Ako po ay kinukuha bilang editor-in-chief ng news department. Mataas pong posisyon yan at aaminin ko, I feel flattered.” Carbonell said.

The journalist said that he’s being invited to join the Chinese-owned company because he’s the most qualified among the journalist that Dragon Network saw.

He also claimed that the people behind the Dragon Broadcasting Network talked to the lawmakers to reject the franchise of ABS-CBN.

Carbonell worked at ABS-CBN and became an Iraq war correspondent.

 

Netizens and bloggers quickly reacted to the exposé of Carbonell.

“So the latest pasabog is this, a certain Waldy Carbonell, who is known for his anti-China antics, is reportedly recruited by a “China owned” network named “Dragon Broadcasting Network” to be its Editor-in-Chief. Sounds logical,” blogger Sass Rogando Sasot said.

“NBI should conduct an investigation against Waldy Carbonell spreading FAKE NEWS about Dragon Broadcasting Network,” netizen Jean-Paul Elizalde remarked.

A Twitter user also questioned the veracity of the information given by Carbonell.

“If Carbonell’s claims are true, and I am sure he knows that it’s unlawful, why did he not report it to the authorities? Why didn’t he inform Congress during the @ABSCBN franchise deliberations? Why now?” @itsfinetogrieve wrote.

“In sum, until Carbonell provides evidence, his claim can be safely taken for granted. What it tells us, however, is how gullible ABS-CBN’s supporters are, and how desperate ABS-CBN is right now. Sa salitang bakla, ISA ITONG ONE MASSIVE KACHARUTAN!” he also said.

Malacanang has yet to comment on the revelation of the journalist.
