BULOK NA STYLE SA PAGNANAKAW!
It was not so long ago that Mar Roxas aka Titi Montenegro and PNOY GAGO were accusing many government employees and government agencies such as the PAGASA, NIA, Customs, Immigration, BIR and DPWH of corruption and with the same offices, a haven of "KOTONG" activities.
While we do not deny that many of these government offices do have corrupt employees in their stead, we also point out that Mar and PNOY are guilty of being more corrupt than these supposedly employees because of these 2 present circumstances;
1. PNOY had bribed the senators during the "Corona impeachment trial" by illegally disbursing government savings, converting them into"DAP" and releasing them as pork barrel for the Senators who voted for the impeachment of Ex-Chief Justice Corona and;
2. Mar Roxas has a "very BIG BUDGET" alloted for him at the DILG, for the "HOUSING PROGRAM of the Government", which is by law, falls under the province of the National Housing Authority. And to think that the COA has not yet given a full report on its audit. Mar Roxas has furthermore usurped the power of the NHA, which is an agency of the government of which by the way has its own charter, and worse, budget was given to him to spend for "housing programs", as part of his duties as DILF Chief. Hindi lang ito ignorance of the law and the Constitution, this is also a duplicity of function, usurpation and abuse of authority, grave abuse of discretion in excess of jurisdiction, circumvention of the law, betrayal of public trust and incompetence as DILG Chief!
As taxpayers, we would ask ourselves. "what are these two fuckers doing with our money?"
Why is GAGONG BUTCH ABAD silent about this?
Is Mar Roxas aka Titi Montenegro already campaigning for the 2016 Presidency, using taxpayers money???
PUTANG-INA KAYO!!!
PUTANG-INA KAYO!!!
YOU HAD BEEN USING "US" AS SCAPEGOATS PARA MAGNAKAW PA KAYO NG MAS MARAMI SA KABAN NG BAYAN!!!
YOU POINT THE FINGER AT US, THE FILIPINO PEOPLE AND YET. . .KAYO PALA ANG MGA MAGNANAKAW!
Let us all Rally to Impeach the President!
KASUHAN NG PLUNDER SI PNOY, MAR ROXAS, ABAD, PURISIMA AT SI ALCALA!!!
TAXPAYERS: Our money, our dues, our taxes, our rules!

OPEN LETTER TO NOY AQUINO
Signs
of unrest have again manifested in the military ranks as a group which
called itself the Reformist Officers United (ROU) issued a manifesto
yesterday declaring a stand to “save the country from further ruin and
continue the unfinished revolution of our forefathers, the true
nationalists of the 1896 Philippine Revolution.”
The manifesto, called an “Article of Faith,” carried the signatures of representatives from all the military commands, the Philippine Army, the Philippine Air Force, the Philippine Navy, the Philippine Marines and the Presidential Security Guard, and civilian security agencies Philippine National Police, Coast Guard and the National Bureau of Investigation. The names in the manifesto, however, are all likely pseudonyms.
The ROU said it reached a “crucial decision,” which it did not state clearly, after many of its supposed members attended the recent rally at the Luneta Park or the Million People March on Aug. 26.
The decision was arrived at “after much contemplation of the political, social, economic and national security situations that turned from bad to worse, after we have vetted our organization, purged its ranks of opportunists and fake nationalists and after we have consulted some of our elders in the military, legal profession, farmers and those from the business, church, academe, labor and civil society groups.”
“Rest assured, together we will win this battle if possible with less bloodshed,” the ROU said in the manifesto.
“We are very much aware of the colonial and neo-colonial circumstances which have denied us the chance to discover our national self and to establish our identity and discover how much our dignity is really worth,” it stated.
The group added that the government and many of the country’s leaders have been “weak, corrupt, venal, insensitive and self-serving.”
As a result, foreign powers in the name of friendship and business partnership have interfered in our affairs with impunity, manipulating us, playing with our lives, our country and our destiny, the ROU added.
The group was clearly critical of the administration of President Aquino saying that his government “is no different from his mother’s regime, characterized by callous shamelessness propped up by endless popularity surveys.”
It added that the Aquino administration stages spurious public shows of piety and compassion.
“It goes through the motions of apologizing for numerous blunders in public yet committed the unforgivable sin of blasphemy to shield its depravity,” the group said.
It described the Aquino administration as being in the shameful tradition of the Makabebes, who betrayed the Philippine Revolution of 1896, and the even more notorious Makapilis who sent many Filipinos to their death (in World War II).
“Pnoy’s government has repeatedly frustrated the honest aspirations of our people by offering its fanciful and deceitful brand of democracy, economy and political lifestyle to unscrupulous foreigners and appealing directly for their intervention to save it from the wrath of long-suffering populace with legitimate grievances,” the ROU added.
The group added Aquino has been deceiving the armed forces into “fighting its battles of self-aggrandizement while undermining the military at every turn. It tells its armed service to fight terrorism without credible laws to protect them and the people.”
“Many of our men have already died of loss of blood fighting a war they do not even understand,” the group added.
It said occasionally, Aquino throws the military a bone to chew on, like guard dogs to be placated from hunger and reject.
“More than 70,000 of our men in uniform are living as squatters in the urban centers as well as in the countryside,” it added.
The Aquino administration has reduced the once-proud military and police organization into a private security force, dedicated to perpetuate its status quo.
The group added that a Gestapo-like counter intelligence organization is being maintained by the government “not to spy on the real enemies of the State but to spy endlessly on the office corps, rank-and-file, their families and other innocent targets.”
“From the first day, Pnoy, using useless advocacy of Matuwid na Daan, has actually steered by one direction alone, that of private gains and mindless arrogance,” the ROU added.
For more than three long, unhappy years (Aquino) has drifted with neither will nor ability to govern, muddling through all our national crises, setting a record of corruptions and plunder, incompetence and clumsiness, it said.
The solutions offered “have been short-sighted, meaningless palliatives and rhetorics that leave the people more frustrated than ever.”
The ROU said the Aquino administration excelled in only two things: the enrichment of its clique and self-congratulations.
“What is more unconscionable is that (Aquino) even lionized Janet Lim-Napoles, who stole public funds and enriched herself and unscrupulous politicians. She cannot deny this because there are witnesses and highly incriminating pieces of evidence that will send them to jail the rest of their lives. This is not the right time to read a bill of particular. That will come later,” it added.
The group said that only a few days ago while the political crisis was evolving, (Aquino) apologized to the nation and appealed to the public to support his presidency and the rule of law.
“His conscience has become so compartmentalized he does not realize that the very men and women he asked for help were the same men and women victimized by his government’s corruption, plunder, arrogance and incompetence,” it said.
Daily, the public “contend with (Aquino’s) mismanagement, extravagance, arrogance and sexual escapades, it claimed.
“They suffer the high prices and the low wages. They suffer the scarcity of jobs. They suffer the absence of transportation, water shortage and high fuel prices. They suffer the breakdown of law and order, moral decay and endless salvaging,” it added.
The group also lamented that the Aquino regime has the gall to ask for help from the very people they continued to deprive of their rights and their dignity.
“Pnoy even asked the men in uniform to die for his government and his brand of illiberal democracy. But will they, these people on whose tongues linger the acrid tastes of disillusion, betrayal and greed?,” it added
The ROU said it has “allies in the civilian sectors” and will offer the country, “not the tarnished version of EDSA 1986, cheapened and exploited beyond recognition, but the revolutionary spirit of 1896 and its noble dream, a dream filled with a fierce yearning for change: true independence, a sovereign nation, a just and wise government, genuine nationalism, respect for the rule of law, freedom in its best sense and reconciliation.”
“In short, genuine democracy as the Filipino revolutionaries of 1896 installed but only fleetingly enjoyed before decades of subjugation, tyranny and pretense that saw our resources exploited and our values warped and perverted,” the group said.
It called on “friends and guests from foreign lands” who the group said it gives respects to their “sovereignty, culture, individuality and business interests.”
“We implore you in the name of our country not to interfere anymore with our internal affairs,” it said.
It also appealed to media “to be fair and responsible in your reporting.”
“We will not hesitate to fight fire with fire those who will stand in our way and undermine our determination to protect the State and to create a just, wise, efficient and stable society throughout the land,” the group warned.
It said that its members will remain anonymous, for the meantime, “but in time we will get to know with one another as some of our forces are still busy garhering intelligence information, infiltrating centers of power of the Aquino Government and carefully assessing its loyal forces on the basis of their morale, command system, fighting capability, intelligence and materiel supplies.”
It said that since the 1986 EDSA Revolution, the Filipino masses “still huddled in their hovels, exploited, hungry and dispossessed. Our bureaucracy is corrupt and inefficient.”
“There is systems failure everywhere. The entire country is deregulated in favor of the elite and their crook foreign partners. Prices of basic commodities keep on rising while workers’ wages remain the same,” it added.
The group also said there is no peace and order. “The simplest public services cannot be delivered. Our military is demoralized and shot through with politics. Our judicial system does not work. The guilty go free; the innocent are framed.”
The ROU said the country’s strength is vitiated by corruption, plunder and ignorance in high places. “When we protest, the government responds with arrogance and brutality. Our elections are farces, contests of force and money, or sleight-of-hand spewed by computers and automated machines,” it added.
MALAPIT NA.

Cloak of Silence Covered Abuse at
Jesuit Retreat Religious order admits two retarded men were victimized. Talks are underway to settle $10-million suit. By Glenn F. Bunting Los Angeles Times March 24, 2002 {This article was cached from the web version, supplemented by photographs, display type, and a document that appeared in the paper edition. See also Childlike Quality Won Victims Many Friends, by Glenn Bunting, LA Times, March 24, 2002; A Crusader for Justice, by Michelle Guido and Rodney Foo, San Jose Mercury News (April 1, 2002); and Behind a Priest's Suicide, by Glenn F. Bunting , Los Angeles Times (August 6, 2005), about the alleged sexual abuse of Rev. James Chevedden, S.J., by Rev. Edward Thomas Burke, S.J., with a copy of the legal complaint filed in the Chevedden case.} LOS GATOS, Calif. -- Two mentally disabled men who live and work at a Jesuit retreat were sexually abused by members of the clergy for at least five years, according to court records and interviews. In a case that drew no public attention, one of the clergymen, Brother Charles Leonard Connor, was convicted last year of committing a lewd act on one victim. He is free after six months of home detention. Another Jesuit, Father Edward Thomas Burke, admitted to his superior two years ago that he engaged in sexual misconduct with the other victim, documents show.
In addition to Connor, three other Jesuits are registered as sex offenders in Northern California. All three were convicted in separate cases involving minors. Connor and Burke, both 80, are among four Jesuits named as defendants in a lawsuit charging that the mentally impaired men were subjected to repeated acts of sodomy, molestation and false imprisonment at Sacred Heart Jesuit Center. Attorneys representing the California Province of the Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, have been negotiating a monetary settlement with lawyers for the two victims over the past year.
"Clearly, two men did things they shouldn't have done. We are not denying that," Smolich said in an interview. "I wish this hadn't happened. I want to make sure that it never happens again." An attorney for the California Province, Paul E. Gaspari, added: "We're not saying sexual misconduct didn't go on. We're saying we didn't know it was going on."
Jesuit superiors at Sacred Heart relocated Burke in April 2000, after he admitted having sexual contact with one victim, but they did not notify authorities. Connor also was removed, but only after a sheriff's detective threatened to have him arrested. The Jesuit superiors sent Connor to a residence on the campus of the all-boys Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose without telling school officials that he was under investigation for sex crimes. The three other Jesuits who are registered sex offenders also lived at Sacred Heart in Los Gatos. Their offenses did not occur at the facility and did not involve the two mentally disabled men. Two clergymen were convicted in separate felony cases of molesting 7-year-old girls. The third, an associate pastor at Most Holy Trinity parish in San Jose at the time of his arrest, was convicted on two counts of oral copulation with a minor. Until now, the sex crimes by Jesuits and the abuses alleged in the civil lawsuit have not been disclosed publicly. Unlike many of the cases involving pedophile priests that have been reported in the media recently, the abuses at Sacred Heart occurred in the last few years and the victims are mentally incapacitated adults, who are granted fewer legal protections than minors. Across the country, the Roman Catholic Church has been grappling with allegations of sexual misconduct by priests and mounting criticism that church leaders have been slow to act. To date, individual dioceses in the U.S. have paid hundreds of millions of dollars to victims of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy. The Jesuits make up the largest religious order in the Catholic Church. Founded in 1540 by St. Ignatius Loyola, a Basque nobleman, the Jesuits have more than 21,000 members serving 112 nations. The Jesuit order is divided into 10 provinces in the U.S. Smolich oversees 457 Jesuit members in four Western states and Hawaii. His office is located on the property of Sacred Heart, a picturesque retirement community for about 65 Jesuits overlooking the Santa Clara Valley. Since he was appointed provincial in 1999, Smolich said, he has made his position on sexual harassment and sex abuse unmistakably clear. "We don't tolerate it," he said. Smolich, 47, who reports directly to the Jesuit superior general in Rome, said he believes sexual misconduct is not a problem within the California Province. Aside from the four registered sex offenders, only two cases of sexual abuse with minors appear in province files in the last 15 years, he said. They involved inappropriate touching, Smolich said. In both cases, the Jesuits received treatment and are active again in ministries, although their contact with children is restricted. Smolich declined to provide names of the offenders or any other details. Of the seven clergymen convicted of sex crimes or named in the civil lawsuit, five were previously employed at Jesuit high schools. Smolich said he is unaware of any prior complaints of sexual misconduct filed against those clergymen. Smolich said "mitigating circumstances," such as the advanced ages of the defendants and the diminished mental capacity of the victims, make it difficult to determine the precise nature of the sexual abuse alleged in the lawsuit. "This is hard. It is complicated," Smolich said. "We're never going to know what really happened. We just aren't." Connor and Burke both cited their 5th Amendment privilege against self-incrimination on numerous occasions during depositions taken recently. They were not made available for comment by the California Province or their attorneys. The lawsuit, filed June 19, 2001, in Santa Clara County Superior Court, alleges that the two victims were sexually abused for "as long as 30 years." This claim is based on statements by the victims that the molestations began within a year of their arrival at Sacred Heart, said M. Jean Starcevich, the victims' attorney. The plaintiffs are seeking more than $10 million in damages. The two victims at Sacred Heart are referred in court documents as "John Doe" and "James Doe."
He has one leg substantially smaller and shorter than the other, suffers severe back pain as well as arthritis in the hands and recently underwent a hernia operation. He is a huge Elvis Presley fan and spends time hand-painting medals to pin on his military shirts.
He is a railroad buff who enjoys viewing tapes from his collection of more than 100 train videos. Whenever possible, James will spend hours at a railroad station watching trains arrive and depart. Both men have been diagnosed as suffering from mental retardation. At Sacred Heart, they were employed as dishwashers responsible for cleaning, drying and storing pots and pans used in preparing meals for the Jesuits. They were paid a starting salary of $150 per month. "The purpose of them being here was charitable," said Gaspari, the Jesuits' attorney. Before they were placed on paid administrative leave a year ago, John and James earned about $1,000 per month with expenses deducted for room and board. They still occupy adjacent rooms on the second floor of a storage facility, which is separate from the Jesuit residence. The sexual abuse took place in the victims' rooms, according to statements they made to a psychiatrist. Victim's Acquaintance Reported Abuse The following accounts are drawn from criminal and civil filings, transcripts of confidential depositions, police reports and internal Jesuit memos. In addition, more than 50 interviews were conducted with prosecutors, investigators, members of the Society of Jesus, lawyers, guardians for the victims and other sources. The first indications of sexual misconduct were reported to Sacred Heart in May 1995 by John's financial advisor. According to a sheriff's report, she had heard rumors from the kitchen staff that Brother Connor was molesting John. She knew that Connor had taken John on trips and spent considerable time alone with him. When she asked John about the rumors, he "became very upset and began to shake" before saying that Connor had been touching his private parts, according to the report.
 Aherne ordered Connor to read the California Province policy on sexual harassment and misconduct, which specifically banned the practice of Jesuits giving or assisting in massages "because of the liability involved." Connor also signed a May 4, 1995, letter from Aherne that ordered him to stay away from John and James. Aherne filed a separate memo notifying Father John Privett, the California provincial at the time who lived and worked at Sacred Heart. Neither Aherne nor Privett alerted law enforcement authorities. Years later, John and James each told investigators that they did not say anything about the abuses because they had been threatened repeatedly by Connor not to do so. Another Call Alleges More Abuse Detectives reopened their investigation in the spring of 2000 after receiving another call from Ilse alleging more abuse. Since she first heard reports of molestation in 1997, Ilse, 36, the only daughter of a retired San Jose police lieutenant, had badgered investigators and county protective services workers on the victims' behalf. At Ilse's request, the Sheriff's Department sent a female plainclothes detective to interview John at the dress shop. John told Det. Dianne L. Camarda that the molestations occurred at night in his room while he was sleeping and sometimes in the shower.
In an interview, Camarda recalled telling Cobb that Connor had to go: "You will move him. If you don't, he is going to jail." Connor was promptly transferred to the Bellarmine Jesuit residence on the high school campus. "We had to move quickly. Given the circumstances, we felt it was the best place for Charlie," Smolich said. Father William Muller, president of Bellarmine, said he received a routine telephone call from Cobb's assistant requesting a room for Connor. The failure to notify anyone at the high school about the reason for Connor's transfer resulted from "a breakdown in communication," Smolich said. Connor lived at Bellarmine for a total of five months, two of them while school was in session. Muller said he was under the impression that Connor had been on campus for a much shorter period of time. "I'm more distressed about it now than I was before," Muller said. Connor was interviewed at Bellarmine by sheriff's detectives on the morning of April 20, 2000. He proclaimed he had done nothing wrong and declined to take a polygraph exam.
Burke also told Cobb that he knew about Connor's sexual misconduct with both victims. "He told me that [John and James] had confided in him that Charlie Connor had in fact been touching them sexually for some time." Cobb, in a sworn deposition, said that he went upstairs to the provincial's office and told a top assistant to Smolich, "We got a problem." No one at Sacred Heart notified authorities about Burke's statement. The Jesuits have no obligation under California law to disclose the information, said Gaspari, the Jesuits' lawyer. "We are not mandated reporters because these two individuals are not minors." Nor did anyone attempt to inform guardians of the two victims. Within hours, Cobb drove Burke to the Jesuit community at Santa Clara University, where he lives today. Cleric Sentenced in Molestations In addition to implicating Connor, Cobb's memo led sheriff's detectives to look at Burke as a possible suspect. On July 11, 2000, Sgt. Lawrence Goodman and Camarda went to Sacred Heart to interview Burke. A receptionist told them that Burke was seriously ill and staying with family for an indefinite time, according to a sheriff's report.
 The Jesuits have no record of Burke becoming seriously ill or taking a sick leave after he was transferred to the Jesuit residence. Smolich said no deliberate attempt was made to hide Burke from authorities. On Jan. 17, 2001, Connor pleaded no contest to one felony count of committing lewd acts on a dependent adult. He was sentenced to wear an electronic monitoring device for six months, ordered to register as a lifetime sex offender and forbidden to have any contact with mentally disabled adults or minors. Connor completed his sentence Nov. 1 and is living at a Jesuit residence in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"How can an old priest in Boston get nine years for touching a boy in a swimming pool and Connor get no jail time for molesting his victims for years?" Ilse asked. She was referring to the sentence in January given to Father John J. Geoghan Jr., 66, who also is accused of molesting more than 130 children over three decades.
Disclosures a Shock to James' Sister Sullivan said she was devastated when she learned about Burke's admission of sexual misconduct with her brother. She and James had become close to Burke, taking him on out-of-town trips and drives in the country to see old barns. Sullivan said Burke spent hours and hours in her brother's room watching train videos with him. "It's just a terrible, terrible betrayal," she said. "This is so horrendous, so evil and so corrupt." Smolich said he regrets that Sullivan was never informed by Jesuits. "What happened to [James] shouldn't have happened. It wasn't fair to [James]. It wasn't fair to Debra. We are doing what we can to make it right." Sullivan said she reluctantly held off filing a criminal complaint against Burke until the civil lawsuit is resolved on the advice of her attorney. "I want to see Burke in jail," she said. A short time after learning about the Cobb memo, Sullivan said, she sat down with her brother to discuss the molestations. According to Sullivan's sworn deposition, James identified six Jesuits at Sacred Heart who sexually abused him: Burke, Connor, two other brothers named in the lawsuit, a "Brother Moniz" and a man named "Angel." Sullivan said she recognized four of the names from her frequent visits to Sacred Heart over the past two decades. But she had never heard of Moniz or anyone named "Angel." Others Registered as Sex Offenders Brother John Rodrigues Moniz, 80, and Father Angel Mariano, 46, are registered sex offenders who were convicted of felony sex crimes with minors. Both lived at Sacred Heart in recent years. Neither man has been accused in criminal or civil courts of molesting John or James. Moniz was convicted in 1995 after pleading no contest to one felony count of lewd conduct with a minor for fondling a 7-year-old girl in Los Gatos. He was placed on three years' probation, ordered to have no contact with children and required to pay his victim's uninsured medical expenses and psychological treatment. He now lives at Vianney Renewal Center in Dittmer, Mo., a facility that treats sex offenders run by Paraclete priests. Mariano was arrested about midnight Sept. 21, 1998, in Campbell, Calif., near San Jose when a police officer caught him in a sex act with a 17-year-old student in a parked car. According to police reports, Mariano arranged to meet two teenagers by posing as a 25-year-old woman on an Internet chat room. He wore lipstick and rouge when he met the boys. Mariano was convicted March 16, 1999, on two felony counts of oral copulation with a minor and spent about five months in Santa Clara County Jail. At the time of his arrest, Mariano served as an associate pastor for four years at Most Holy Trinity Church in San Jose, one of 13 parishes that are staffed by Jesuits within the province. Mariano was removed without any explanation. Asked why parishioners at Holy Trinity were not made aware of the reasons for Mariano's departure, Smolich said: "Why should they? This is an Internet cruising thing. This is anonymous sex. This doesn't involve people at the parish. It wasn't a priest thing. He wasn't dressed in a collar." Before he was ordained, Mariano taught at Bellarmine from 1988 to 1991. Since his arrest, Mariano lived at Sacred Heart off and on for about four months. The presence of two mentally disabled victims of sexual abuse at Sacred Heart was "never a consideration" when Mariano was assigned to live there, Smolich said. "He needed a place to come back to. The issues around Father Mariano's situation have nothing to do with mentally disabled adults," he said. Mariano had virtually no contact of any kind with either victim at Sacred Heart, Smolich said. Mariano is living under the supervision of Smolich and his top assistant, Father Tony Sholander, at their residence near Santa Clara University. "Clearly, his opportunities for ministry in the future are circumspect at best," Smolich said. "I'm not going to assign him somewhere where he has any contact with minors. I can't and I won't." The fourth registered sex offender, Father James Thomas Monaghan, was convicted in 1992 of felony lewd conduct for fondling a 7-year-old girl who was brought to him for counseling while he was pastor of St. Ignatius parish in Sacramento. Monaghan, 87, is now in the infirmary at Sacred Heart. Because Jesuits are required take a vow of poverty, they are not forced out of the ministry when they encounter legal problems, Smolich said. Recently, Cardinal Roger M. Mahony of the Los Angeles Archdiocese dismissed about a half dozen priests who previously had engaged in sexual misconduct. "Diocesan priests have retirement accounts," Smolich said. "They can leave and take care of themselves. Men who have spent their lives in the Jesuit order have nothing. We are not in a position to throw them out. I wouldn't do it." Times researcher Nona Yates contributed to this report. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
