RCBC Can Fire CEO Lorenzo Tan-Maia Dequito

The Senate Investigation into the stealing of United States Dollars Eighty One Million (US$81,000,000) appears to be useless. They have not been able to unearth the true and real facts about how the stealing of the money actually took place. And where is the money now.

 

The central and key role players Kim Wong, Maia Santos Dequito, Lorenzo Villanueva Tan and other officials of RCBC including those of other banks, the casinos, will never reveal the real truth about the transaction. They will merely keep saving their hides and divert the investigation somewhere else.

RCBC Jupiter St. Branch Manager Maia Santos Dequito

The Chairman of the Board, Helen Yuchengco Dee and the rest of the Members of the Board of RCBC can fire CEO Lorenzo Villanueva Tan and Maia Santos Dequito for Criminal Negligence, Ignorance, Greed and Economic Sabotage.

 Amb. Alfonso Yuchengco, RCBC Chairman Emeritus

RCBC Chairperson, Helen Yuchengco Dee

The premise for this dishonorable removal from the rolls of RCBC are as follows:

 

1. Just because Tan and Kim Wong are good buddies, Tan should still have conducted proper due diligence on the source of the fund that will be transmitted to the Philippines from its foreign origin. In which case, the FINCEN and financial intelligence should have been notified and involved, along with the rest of the verifying authorities in the international banking community – not the least of which is the international anti-money laundering secretariat.

 

2.  Tan and his subaltern Maia Santos Dequito refused this because they needed to push through with the transaction without any hassle. But it was incumbent upon them to stop the transaction if and when there were irregularities particularly on where the money originated from.

 

3.  When the transaction was already in progress, Tan and Dequito, withdrew large amounts of money for themselves as manifested by a witness who saw Dequito’s car being loaded under her own instructions with no less than Philippine Pesos Twenty Millions (Php20,000,000). Did they include other members of the Board or key officials of the RCBC?  Then they did not implement the stop order from the New York originating bank and the stop request from Bangladesh Central Bank.  How cruel, beastly and stupidly greedy is that?  They knew that shit will hit the fan, but come hell and high waters they proceeded to release the funds. Are they that beholden to criminals?  Dequito was also under instructions to fly away as far and as fast as possible but she was technically accosted, short of being arrested, by officers of the law at the NAIA prior to her flight.

 

4.  Lorenzo Villanueva Tan and Maia Santos Dequito knew that there were knowledgeable individuals and institutions that could help them. They were even introduced properly to those entities. But they lifted their chins up high, berated those parties and stated in no uncertain terms that they already had the situation under control. How stupid is that?

 

Criminals never know when lightning and thunder will strike. And that they will be the next victims. Like all gamblers, criminals always go into the commission of crime knowing that they will succeed.

 

The natural law prevailed in this case and Tan and Dequito might go to jail for all we care. But the government must resolve this case and not be a pushover or a whitewasher if it must preserve the image of the country in the international financial community.

See the original post.

The question is: Could this disaster have happened in the regimes other than this administration of Aquino?  The lesson of this story is for bankers, banks not to ever succumb to KASUWAPANGAN. Dati na nga kayong marumi, tunay na kahiya hiya na kayong lahat!!!  Lalo na puro intsik ang nabibilang dito sa kaso na ito!!!

POOR INTERNET CONNECTIVITY IN THE PHILIPPINES

Cyberpark Group

A REVIEW OF EXISTING LITERATURE

A technical paper that embarks upon the actual objectives of the State for the benefit of stakeholders and users of Internet Services in the Philippines will shed light on the existing and future aspects of the service.

Such a paper shall make apparent all the reasons and basis for explaining the current state of Internet in the Philippines.

As the situation stands, Internet service in the country today is miserably slow and yet it counts as being among the most expensive all over the world. Why did such a situation come into being?  How were investments and revenues of the licensed providers used to allow this to happen?  What factors helped cause the snail paced speed of Internet in spite of exorbitant earnings amassed by providers from helpless subscribers? In the face of such wretched conditions is the Philippine Government simply going to stay immobile…

Philippine Telcos Should Stop Robbing the Filipinos

Month after month, one registers the one-month unlimited internet service of Smart Communications through their product SMART BRO. The service is dirt poor, it is so slow even for a one-month package and you are not assured that you will get uninterrupted signal for one day. The effective speed that you can use is less than one mega byte.

At times, the speed is just plain 0.

In the beginning there was UNLISURF and you register with the SMS message sent to SMART BRO number 2200 and you get the reply:

1/2 14Jan 19:35: You have successfully registered to Smart Bro Unlisurf 995 valid for 30 days. Php995.00 has been deducted from your load balance.

2/2 Now, enjoy 30 days unlimited surfing for ONLY Php995.00. Just send Unlisurf 995 to 2200.

The bloodthirsty wise guys of SMART Communications suddenly changed their policy. You are supposed to buy unlimited internet service, but only up to a certain limit every day. From the product name UNLISURF, they changed the name to NEW SURFMAX.

1/3 You have successfully registered to the NEW SURFMAX995. Enjoy All day surfing up to 800MB/day. Load is valid for 30 days.

Effectively you don’t have any more unlimited service but you keep paying for the same price for unlimited surfing in the United States where the currency is in US Dollars.

But then not to worry says the sneaky devil Smart Communications you are advised, if you have consumed all your daily 800MB Limit, on top of your monthly package under NEW SURFMAX to just register again for their BIG BYTES so-called promo where Smart Communications says you can avail of unlimited data. That adds salt to the injury.

 

Rogues Gallery of The Biggest Thieves (of Smart Communications)

Manny Pangilinan

Mon Isberto

Orly Vea

Polly Nazareno

Imagine registering twice for the same service and being blackmailed to pay two times.

 

Why are these immoral and indecent Manuel V. Pangilinan aka bading, erstwhile communist CPP-NPA-NDF Orlando Vea and sidekick Ramon Isberto, Napoleon L. Nazareno, their bosses at the Salim Group in Indonesia and all the other leaders of Smart Communications so greedy that they cannot provide good enough service and yet keep padding and padding their collections from the consuming public!  They should refrain from this horrendous practice of amassing so much revenue without returning as much to their loyal patrons like us!

Smart Communications should stop picking pockets, robbing people of money. The officials of the National Telecommunications Commission is hereby called to task to stop receiving their salary that comes from us, hardworking citizens of this country if they cannot squelch this blood curdling thirst of Smart Communications for dirty income. Shit!

Tragic Problems in Yolanda Victims’ Housing in Eastern Visayas, et al

International GeoHazards Mapping Environment Summit

Salute for Non-Republic of the Philippine Government Rehabilitation Providers

Before any other kind of discussion on the problem of shelter for the victims of super typhoon Haiyan – Philippine code name Yolanda, we take the time to salute the private and public or quasi public entities that on their own, have been hard at work in building and giving away completed housing units for the hapless victims of the super typhoon of 2013.  The list of those kind hearted individuals and organizations, associations, networked institutions, is so long that it will take a considerably large space just to name all of them.

To our charitable, philanthropic friends from here and from all over the world, we shall not tire of saying Thank You, we are eternally grateful for all that they have done for those that suffered from the onslaught of that super typhoon – regardless of whether it was…

Uninvisible, Unsilent World War

Emerging Africa major threat groups that cross transnational borders

The forthcoming rally in France will be unprecedented. While past cooperation between erstwhile enemies have taken place mostly in neutral territory, the coming of the leadership of Spain to France to show solidarity against terror and whatever else that is behind and propelling it, is a great historical milestone.

History will show how deep the enmity that came to develop between France and Spain in the old times.

The so-called usurpation of powers, treachery, vengeance, mutually assured destruction between the two former royalties spanned centuries – even millennia.

Today, with the biggest combine in the world – the United Nations – not having any immediate solution to the uninvisible, unsilent emerging world war – that is actually a proxy war openly featuring the ISIS or ISIL and such insignificant, hitherto obscure groups like Boko Haram, former enemies embrace each other as a…

2nd of a series

Towards new doctrines on standards in engagement

In the 1st part of this series, we expounded on the dearth of the true Islamic component within the Islamic State, many other terrorist groups (Mideast, South Asian, ASEAN or African, Mediterranean models).

In that discussion, we arbitrarily assign the Jamaat – or the movement of liberation type of template. This model has more commonality with Marxist, Leninist, Nietzsche, or other similar left-of-center political ideologies or Nazi Ultra-Rightist that struggles to appear to be from the other end of the spectrum.

Russian, Chinese, German, Libyan, Cuban, Cambodian, other models in revolution, have many aspects in common with the mold however it can be said that much of the intellectual aspects of the political myth of the revolution needed to be adapted to the specific environment. In a more contentious manner, we can almost say that the myth is…

Postcript to Understanding Faurat: When will Counter-Terrorist elements learn?

In the 1st part of this series, we noted that terrorists wage a world war under the guise of Islam. That the war they are waging is more secular, ideological than religious.

In the 2nd part of the this series, we tried to expound in greater length how progressive movements in some parts of the world in the past and today are similar in many ways to that of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria as well as to many other Islamic movements that we labeled as the “Jamaat” groups espousing not jihad or holy war but faurat which stands for revolution and is not a concept propounded by the Holy Qur’an.

Sharing Information A Very Difficult Process

The Center for CEOs, Executive Safety

French President François Gérard Georges Nicolas Hollande, France’s security workers, police and the people of that bastion of Liberté could possibly be in big trouble.

But they will not be alone. The United States, Philippines along with a large chunk of Asia, Israel (an almost 100% likely target always), among several other highly vulnerable countries will be targeted. In the recent attacks in Paris’ (multiple attacks against Charlie Hebdo offices), the Al Qaeda supposedly takes responsibility for the attack. This is mostly just interlocking with the current wave of Iraq-Syria Islamic State group’s highly organized and determined terror acts fueling a vision of a world war.

The Al Qaeda, dominantly Sunni but on many occasions accommodating members of the other faction of Islam – the Shiites – is nearly in a state of collapse even if its remnants are still mostly burning with the same fervor and dedication with…

What billionaires lose

I never wanted to be a billionaire, even if I am now about to become one and not just by sheer accident. Θ

Despite the travails of becoming and maintaining the status of billionaire, I think that I’ll really like being rich a lot.

Now I so love the song “I wanna be a billionaire” by Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars.

You think that it’s easy to be a billionaire? Think again. It’s hard and it’s a harsh world out there for rich girls like me.

This June the world renowned publisher of The World’s Richest — Forbes Magazine named tycoon Lucio Tan as the richest Filipino billionaire.  He is one of the four top spenders in philanthropy in the Philippines. Notwithstanding this, workers in his Philippine Air Lines (PAL) have partly caused economic shortfalls in the accounting of the airline. PAL’s statements are in the red. In the past the past year alone, PAL posted actual losses of US$10,000,000.

The PAL employees’ union would not believe that this billionaire will suffer if their group and their backers will paralyze his airline, and that is precisely what they did in September 27 this year. They also believe that the man will pay them huge indemnity once they win in court cases filed left and right with lower Courts and the Supreme Court itself. After all, if the public suffers along with the airline owner, that becomes the lookout of the owner and does not diminish their goodwill with the devils in hell.

In spite of these challenges, Tan sent tens of tons of cargo made of 700,000 bottles of water to victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March this year. The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, named after his father, has undertaken projects in Northern Luzon to build providing freshwater basins that will improve water quality in that region.

Tan’s charity foundation has built the first ever library for Fil-Chinese students in the country and sent thousands of them to Xiamen City, Fujian Province in Mainland China to study culture, language and experience being in China.

The foundation also undertook trainors’ training for teachers, medical missions – among other projects.  Tan also funded housing projects for the poor.

Like Mr. Tan, Mr. Henry Sy also, on the other hand, despite his advanced age, regularly flies in a helicopter to the far end of Northern Luzon (Aparri). His destination is a huge mansion in a seaside town in that province where a very young recipient of his own charities meets with him.

Other big charity spenders that Forbes cites are RFM President and Chief Executive Jose Concepcion, Planters Development Bank Chairman and Chief Executive Jesus Tambunting, as well as pharmaceutical empire Zuellig Group of Companies founder Stephen Zuellig.

Jose Concepcion, for his part, was cited by Forbes for his project Go Negosyo.  This venture helps the poor jumpstart businesses and no less than 230,000 individuals have already been benefited by the project. Concepcion also writes books, the proceeds of which are also given to Go Negosyo.

Forbes’ 40th richest man, Jesus Tambunting, is spending much for charity in education and cultural projects as well as many other Catholic Church-related charities. In 2008, Tambunting was ordained as a Knight Commander with Star of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem.

Tambunting sits as a board member in various foundations and spends generously for housing and relocation of the poor.

Retired Stephen Zuellig and family donated $5 million to public health advocacy. His charities’ mission is to lower infant and maternal mortality rates as well as to improve health care.

Tan, Concepcion, Tambunting and Zuellig are among the Forbes’ list of big charity spenders that include Jackie Chan, Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi, Tadashi Yanai of Uniqlo and Vincent Tan of Berjaya Group in Malaysia.

Forbes Asia Senior Editor John Koppish says that some of the generous charity givers are big tycoons, billionaires, who nourish a large vision of how best to help society and have donated millions of dollars to back up that vision. Others are little-known citizens who are extremely generous with their limited funds.

Koppish however clarifies that Forbes Magazine’s goal is not to rank the biggest givers.  He affirms that  the aim is to call attention to a mix of notable people and causes throughout the region, and to encourage more giving.

Whatever Forbes Magazine says, doesn’t matter much to me. whether I’m rich or not, I’m still big on charities anyway. So I reckon, I might not be outspending Messrs. Lucio Tan, Joe Concepcion, Jess Tambunting and Steve Zuellig, but at least I’m not manhid. Surely, when I get to hold my first billion, all the gates will be opened to my beneficiaries of charities.

The first in the list are autistic children.

The second in the list are the homeless.

The third in the list are Muslims who cannot have potable water or even simple bathing water when they believe in a faith that is based on cleansing rituals using a lot of water!  OMG! After I told the government this fact, I was not surprised to find in Jolo, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi that the United States of America Embassy went out of its way to build water systems for our brother Muslims in the South! Good job! I salute your efforts and will follow after your work when I get my billions.

The last but not the least in my list of beneficiaries are the down trodden people of uncertain gender and who cannot decide what they will do with their lives. I don’t know what to do with them yet, but I’ll figure that out. Counseling, livelihood, whatever. Basta! It’s easier when I am sitting on my billions and spending them for my favorite pastimes.

You will find below, Forbes Asia’s list of richest men and women in the Asian region.

I’m still hoping our deal will push through along with the rest we are pursuing, it might help hasten my becoming a big spender and a Forbes-listed Philippine billionaire. God knows by that time, I’ll be changing my marching song “I Wanna Be A Billionaire” to Agnetha Faltskog’s popular “It’s So Nice To Be Rich”!

Who can say?

Agnetha is one of the members of the song group ABBA.

Japanese video

the police were present during the picket of airline workers of PAL and members of the Partido Manggagawa, Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino, Sanlakas and of course PALEA and possibly some from FASAP — if any. my japanese friend’s video clearly shows that the rallyists don’t much look like true airline workers. they appear to be magsasaka and maglulupa. huh!

what are they doing stopping an airline from functioning those hoodlum and criminal looking idiots? are the stewardesses, stewards and pilots of PAL that bad looking now? huh!

just look at their faces! OMG! it’s as if the minions of Satan descended from hell! and papangeet! JC my Lord!

if i were PAL, i wouldn’t take bullshit from people like them. maybe i’ll take a pison and sagasaan ko sila lahat. 😀

the problem with them policemen is that they never budged. of course, they are not allowed to carry firearms within 50 feet of rallyists and demonstrators but at least they are empowered to disperse illegal protest assemblies. possibly the policemen felt very very merciful towards the rallyists, thinking what if they were my poppa, momma, bro, sis or cousin? what if they were my children?

(tears of sorrow)

it’s possible that they are affected by their bleeding heart, cry baby chief of the Philippine National Police, Dir Gen Nicanor Bartolome who sheds tears at any moment’s notice like a FAMAS awardee. OMG! such a mess!!!

take a look at Akira’s video:

Government: the past and present

Threatened by disaster, this government, like the past that experienced Ondoy will be blown away or washed out to purgatory or hell without the right disaster preparedness platform.

What does this and the past government combined have to be proud of in terms of emergency preparedness? None. Nothing at all.

When the time comes that the NASA forecasted superstorm or solar maxima, an electromagnetic and superheat or flamestorm will arrive, there is absolutely nothing that this government can do.

Whereas Norway has undergone the building and preparation for occupation of underground shelters, such actions are not even within the imaginations of our decision makers.

The government, as it is, is to busy in its witch hunt. This is no longer the era of the Inquisition and the Salem Witch Trials and Lynchings. This is the modern age. In the guise of transparency, accountability, etcetera, etcetera, as if the close buddies and relations of the sitting power are not exceedingly corrupt, the government launches one investigation after another.

Now they are investigating anything about the former administration that is investigable. huh?

When the tsunamis come, and the earthquakes rumble, I bet that the first ones to run will be the thieves in this and the other administrations. Even the suits and their subalterns in the United Nations will be as guilty of that as well when the time comes.

They won’t even care to look back at us, the small people. Is that why they don’t care to announce any impending disaster that is about to come only two to three years from now? How heartless! But how stupid! What do they know if we do or don’t already have a plan? Let’s see who gets to laugh last!

What happens next?

A foreigner brother of the Accepted Freemasons of the Philippines whispered: “There’s nothing you can do in these elections. There will be foreign intervention.”

Foreign intervention plus black, evil money? what is going to happen to this country?

DENR on Climate Change Act

Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Jose L. Atienza, Jr. says:

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE LAW – SECRETARY LITO ATIENZA
October 26, 2009

 

The Climate Change Act of 2009, which President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed into law, puts local government units into the center stage of governance, given the important roles city, town, and barangay leaders play in the implementation of whatever plans and programs on climate change adaptation and mitigation measures that will be crafted by a body tasked under the new law.

The substance and efficacy of Republic Act (RA) 9729 will only be as good as those executing climate change measures. The new law may even be a potent tool in bringing about a stronger green-minded electorate because of the centrality to local elected officials in mainstreaming the climate change agenda into their platforms of governance at the provincial and down to the barangay level.

2010 Rock Concert and SUMMIT!!!

There are two events in 2010 that I would like to wholly support:

1.  The 2010 Hazard Mapping and Environment Summit in Manila, Apr 8-15, 2010

2.  One Festival, Rock Concert for the benefit of the victims of Philippine typhoon, earthquakes and tsunami in the ASEAN Region in Rizal Park Grandstand, April 16, 2010.

We encourage the Philippine Government, Asian Governments, combines like the United Nations, ASEAN, financial institutions like the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, to support this milestone activity the 2010 Hazard Mapping and Environmental Summit in Manila from the remainder of 2009 up to 2010. The actual even is as mentioned above.

We encourage everyone to support the One Festival, to raise token assistance for those that were victims to the Philippine floods, the tsunami and earthquakes that rocked many nations in ASEAN.

ANNUAL ECOLOGY CRISIS CONFERENCE

The Resource Recovery Movement will hold the first 2010 Hazards Mapping and Environment Summit (Eco 2010 Summit) in Manila, Philippines. This is ultimately borne about by the tremendous changing of the Philippine landscape and those of other countries in the Pacific Rim in the last few decades. All efforts towards risk mapping in relation to calamities and disasters in the past should now take into consideration the great shifts and transformations in land mass, the enormous amount of rainfall brought about by Climate Change and many new factors that were heretofore not factored into national and sub-national planning by governments as well as even by business establishments and non-government organizations.

The 2010 Hazard Mapping and Environmental Summit (HMES) is intended to develop better approaches to mapping risks and dangers to communities in the Philippines and other countries with tropical climates. It takes a cue from the recent experience in China, Indonesia and the Philippines, notwithstanding the previous experiences in Thailand, Bangladesh, Pakistan where scores of people died due to unforeseen occurrences during the incidence of a natural disaster: earthquake, typhoon, tsunami and other calamities. The databasing, mapping and full coordination of efforts towards use and sharing of a full function GIS on hazards, volcanoes, water, flood, forests in the Philippines and Asia, vulnerability areas, liquefaction potential, crisis and hot spots is long due because of the long-running phenomenon of Climate Change in the planet. This is also significant in that the Philippines, among other countries, lies in the Pacific Rim of Fire where a large number of earthquake faults lie.

The most important value of the conference is to determine the plan and the cost of implementing such a plan to make the Philippines and other participating nations safer from increasingly hazardous calamities.

Note: The organizers reserve the right to make minor changes in the Conference details prior to the actual Event.

Amazing Beijing

 

Despite what the detractors say, China has redeemed itself. Beijing was a tremendous, astounding success. The opening that was a panorama of colors, a touch of history and more than a pinch of drama. Thousands of athletes, hundreds of games, a little faux pas here and there, but all in all Beijing’s reclaimed fame! Preparations for the games by China’s athletes was rigorous and had paid off well. The Sinos got most of the gold. China is trying to prove her mettle as a responsible power, or so it seems. It is hoped that in as many other respects, such as giving what is due to its distinct peoples China might also shine some day. I rest my case, Your Honors.

i cry mindanao, mindanao i cry, i cry mindanao

I cry Mindanao

 

you are within the axis of blaring clatter

you are a child on the way to school

there is so much gunfire

there is so much thundering cannon fire

you can’t pass in the street

you pass by the rice fields

you run by the banana fields

you skirt through the rubber farm

you step on a foot

a hand

a head

a broken down chest heaving, heaving

a myriad of images

food to make you choke

to choke until death

 

i cry Mindanao

an old man with a pen

emmanuel he says

emmanuel i am

emmanuel succor of Christians

enemy of islam

with a moustache

with a paper for magistrates

says simply: let muslims die

we can’t give them land

we can’t turn back

the hands of time

 

a lady in waiting in the Kingdom

shouts, why give muslims

land?

papers papers papers

read the papers

study study study

 

a lady with a penis

says, kill them all

kill them all

kill them all

ping them with a gun

ping them all

 

the old man with a guilty penis

says

kill them all

kill them

use the hand

of iron

 

the peppery named man

says

blame the dwarf in pasig!

kill the dwarf

kill the muslims

 

the son of the warrior

who urinated in his pants

and became commander of

all the praetorians in the Kingdom

many eons ago said

get that pact

take it away!

give it to us and

we shall make gold of it

 

the commander of the guard

raised his gun

i will therefore do as bidden

i shall kill muslims

my ladies my lords

pay me well

pay me well

for e’ery head I cause to fall

pay me well

and my masters evil

that do not believe in god

will jump for joy in hell!

 

i cry Mindanao

i cry

The song of Ezky

The song written by ezky, is about a child grown-up who realized his or her final goal. It is an inspirational song about hurdling obstacles, seeing things and seasons changed after a long, hard-won battle. It is like the beginning of the new life for tribes in Mindanao who will soon, have their own home, finally… it is also dedicated to the heroes that were martyred for the sake of freedom, for all our sakes, so that we are where we are now. It tells of respecting the deeds of those that sacrificed their lives to allow us to be what we are, today. Click here…
