12 lawmakers linked to fertilizer fund scam
Sunstar

TWELVE lawmakers, including the House committee on ethics chairman, received millions from the misused fertilizer funds, said the Office of the Ombudsman.

Based on the 134-page joint resolution of the Office of the Ombudsman released April 15, the 12 legislators and relatives of other incumbent lawmakers were issued sub-allotment advice (SAA) in 2004, allowing them to get funding from the government's Farm Inputs/Farm Implements Program (FIFIF).

Among the 12 is Erico Aumentado (Bohol, second district), who is currently the chair of the House committee on ethics, a body tasked to investigate and take actions involving the conduct of lawmakers. Aumentado reportedly received P5 million from the funds.

Representatives Antonio Kho (Masbate, second district), Al Francis Bichara (Albay, second district), Luis Villafuerte (Camarines Sur, third district), Orlando Fua (Siquijor, lone district), George Arnaiz (Negros Oriental, second district), Florencio Miraflores (Aklan, lone district), Augusto Syjuco (Iloilo, second district), Rogelio Espina (Biliran, lone district) and Eleandro Jesus Madrona (Romblon, lone district) also received P5 million each in their previous capacity as either governor or congressman.

Basin under moderation lang.Sulayi ug otro kay gikinahanglan pod nato nga pakgangon ang mga bloggers nga hangtud karon nagpadayon sa ilang pagtuis-tuis sa kamatuoran. Akong i-monitor ug mogawas ba ang imong post.

Salamat. Hinaut pa unta nga magpadayon ang biliranevent.com sa pagbaylo-baylo sa atong mga huna-huna sa mga panghitabo sa
Biliran.

Nag-aliwaros na karon ang mga 15/30 ni Cong. Lim kay malapit na ang ilang kataposan.

Habang ang mga tarutot ni cong lim sigig ingon sa RN nga walay limbong kay ang valid votes sa recounting ning tali man sa original votes recorded.

Tinood na, ningtali lagi pero ang pangutana nganong pwerti mang daghana ang invalid votes ni Glenn ug charlie? unya wala may mga invalid votes sa kan gov. lim ug cong. lim? he he he! abangan ang mesterio na ng yari panahon sa election.

EXCERPT FROM NAMFREL REPORT:

The HRET manual revision process covered only 42 pilot clustered precincts, or 25% of the total number of precincts involved in the protest (HRET rules) -- in this case all 166 total clustered in the province of Biliran. A more detailed explanation of the Biliran case can be read in Biliran Blogs (http://biliranisland.com/blogs/? p=2783). At the conclusion of the revision process, the results in the precincts covered reportedly remain unchanged.

GOOD POINTS. THE PURPOSE OF HAVING THIS PETITION FOR MANUAL RECOUNTING IS TO COUNT IT MANUALLY. IT MEANS, EVEN THE INVALID VOTES WHICH WERE REJECTED BY PCOS MACHINE ARE INCLUDED. IF WE ONLY CONSIDER THOSE VALID VOTES, THEN, YOU`RE OBSERVATION IS VALID AND THE VOTES REMAINED UNCHANGED AS FAR AS VALID VOTES ARE CONCERNED. BUT THE POINTS HERE IS THAT, HOW ABOUT THE INVALID VOTES? SABI PA NI ANONYMOUS `BAKIT MARAMI ANG INVALID VOTES NI ATTY GLENN AND HIS DAD CHARLIE? AT BAKIT WALANG MGA INVALID VOTES ANG MGA ESLINAS? ACCORDING TO THE HRET RULING, IF THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AFTER THE OPENING OF 25% BALLOTS, THEN THE PETITIONS FILED BY ATTY GLENN WILL BE DISMISSED AUTOMATICALLY. NOW, THE HEARING WILL CONTINUE AFTER THE PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCES. SO, HRET HAS FOUND SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.
OUR FIGHT FOR JUSTICE AND TRUTH ARE VERY HOPEFUL!

Kumbati, nice response. pero bisan ug usaon na sila ug pasabot kay dili gyud na sila matablan. Ingon pa sa bibliya `they prepare to live in darkness so that their bad works will not be seen.

Kumbati, good explanation! you know to be honest with you, the espinas now are trying to brainwash the mind of the biliranon that there is no cheating happened last election. They are doing everything to destroy the credibility of the ongoing recounting because by all means they will not give up from their cheated government position. According to them, it would be over their dead body.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE??

The most drammatic success in our history as a young province was the recent May 14 election. Our Biliran voters in exercising their right to vote expressed their sentiments in a mature and valiant manner.

And so, the result of the latest election, contained a simple but very poweful message: " if you respect my peso....

Fathers, victims of genocidation

The whole world today celebrates FATHER’S DAY. The world dedicates a especial day to honor fathers as fathers are one of the most important influences in the lives of children, and their unconditional love is an indispensable anchor of certainty and strength.

However, as children in the world rejoice with their respective father, it is sad to contemplate that here in Biliran, 2 families have mourned because of the brutal killing of their father. Their lives had not been spared from any political problems that provide great havoc in our peaceful place. One of the many unfortunate, regrettable aspects of the tragic events of June 7th, 2008 besides the fact that two people have lost their lives. more

STATEMENT OF TRUTH

REGARDING THE PERSON OF STEPHEN GREINKE AND HIS MALICIOUS ACCUSATIONS AGAINST THE BISHOP OF NAVAL

We, the Clergy and faithful of the Diocese of Naval, would like to express our strongest condemnation to the lies peddled by Stephen Greinke against the bishop of Naval, the Most Rev. Filomeno G. Bactol, D.D.

Last January 2, 2008, Stephen Greinke, in a nationally televised network, has accused the bishop of sexually molesting young boys. We are aghast at this accusation because the bishop is a person of integrity whose ministry of 40 years (15 years in the seminary as formator, 7 years as Pastor, and 18 years as Bishop of Naval) has never been enmeshed in any controversy, much less scandal. We are appalled even more at the brazermess of Greinke as to impute upon the good name of the bishop the very same crime he was accused of doing against innocent young boys in the very Association he bas come to found, purportedly to proclaim the love of God only to find out it has become a trap for his sexual perversions! Such lies therefore that he has concocted can anly come from a heart whose hatred is as deep as his own twisted understanding of what is good and moral. ..... more

GAS PRICE

Join the resistance! I hear we are going to hit close to $1.50 a litre by summer and it might possibly go higher! Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. Jun Paterno offered this good idea. This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around earlier! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read on and join with us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $.79/litre is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $1.10 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC ... more

From Advent through Christmas to New Year - a message from biliranevent.com


The Advent season is a special time in our Christian community and a perfect time to preparation to celebrate for the birthday of Christ. As we once again prepare to celebrate the feast of Christmas, we are reminded of God’s great love for us. More importantly, the feast of Christmas is a very special occasion and a time for us not only to reflect on Jesus’ love for us but also to respond to his love by demonstrating love for our fellow men and women. May the expressions of goodwill and the gifts that we exchange be the outward manifestation of that love. more...

CEBUANO KO BAI! ( author unknown)

I am not a Filipino, never considered myself one a long time ago. I am a Cebuano and my late father once said: "There's a whale of a difference between the two". And that distinction between the Cebuano and Filipino is never more pronounced than the result of the 2001 Senatorial Elections. The election results nationwide from Manila to Mindanao showed an even trend, far below the expectations of the anti-Erap advocates. Can you believe that? After we've been screwed in the ass by a pea-brained Tagawg! But the Cebuanos voted differently. We Cebuanos voted with the same clear sightedness and maturity that scared the shit out of Marcos and his KBL lap dogs who despite massive cheating and terrorism in collusion with his Ilocano Generals were defeated by the Pusyon Bisaya during the Parliamentary Elections in the seventies. We Cebuanos have a better sense of truth and justice and we have always been the vanguards against tyranny and oppression since 1521 when Chief Lapu-lapu whacked Magellan.( more )
