Davidson Bangayan's highly public denial yesterday seems like a direct hit against Davao city mayor Rodrigo Duterte who supplied media with the photos and passport of Mr. Bangayan. Duterte was certain "David Tan" was this "Davidson Bangayan"is one and the same. Yet, why did Bangayan spared Duterte from his plan of filing a libel case, and only particularized Jesus Aranza, head of the business group which exposed the illicit activities of a certain David or Davidson Tan.
Calling Mr. Mayor, Mayor Duterte of Davao City. Will you let this person smear your name? Duterte appears like a fool in this controversy. I believe the good mayor will not allow anybody to mess up his name and reputation.
A source who refused to be identified says that this rice smuggling controversy is not what it really appears to be.
This "fight" is actually between and among rice smugglers in this country. A group initiated a smear campaign against Agriculture secretary Procy Alcala because he allegedly favored another smuggling group. This group is believed to be funded allegedly by a lawyer of Davidson Tan.
Alcala's group resisted and exposed Davidson Tan, whom they believe to be funding the anti-Alcala campaign. Davidson Tan is using a publicist in neutralising this latest tirade against him and his operations, according to some sources.

Davidson Bangayan denies he's David Tan: Groups doubt his denial.
Davidson Bangayan, who claims to be a legitimate businessman, denies that he is the "David Tan" referred to by numerous groups as the biggest rice smuggler of the Philippines. Here is the interview of Kabayan Noli de Castro in this link at http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/focus/01/14/14/im-not-smuggler-david-tan-businessman-says
An NBI official however says, Davidson Bangayan and "David Tan" is just one and the same person. Besides, if you look closely at the interview made by ABS-CBN 2, when Kabayan asked Mr. Bangayan if he is "David Tan", he made the denial, but his face reacted. His facial muscles reacted. See the interview again at this link: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/focus/01/14/14/im-not-smuggler-david-tan-businessman-says.
Atty Salazar, who is the lawyer designate of Mr. Bangayan, is the one identified to be the legal counsel on the pending smuggling case which likewise, involved Mr. Bangayan's import trading company, Starcraft.
Jesus Aranza says that there will be a hearing on the rice smuggling controversy, which, according to businessmen cost the government some 6 billion pesos lost of revenues.
Seems like Mr. Bangayan wants to convince us, the Department of Justice and of course, Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte. Duterte was the one who supplied the photo of this "David Tan" which looks exactly like Davidson Bangayan.
Additional investigative report about this David Tan...
Do you know that David Tan nicknamed "Goliath" by Customs officials, earned millions just by foreign exchange trading of rice? The modus operandi is simple. Tan manipulated or created the market conditions to influence the price difference between imported and local rice stocks.
During the Arroyo administration, the country imported rice stocks. There is a difference between prices of imported rice and those rice being sold here. The difference, which runs just in centavos, was calculated to close to a billion because of the sheer volume of importation involved.
Rice trading is one of the most lucrative in the world. There was a report in 2008 which identified players in the Philippines who manipulate rice prices to earn billions. This "David Tan" played a major role during the previous administrations especially in importing cheap Vietnamese rice.

Bangayan alias David Tan appears before Justice secretary
Is the National Bureau of Investigation playing dumb? I think so. Today's press briefing proves how influential this David Bangayan is, especially with members of this bureau.
Davidson Bangayan, whom businessmen blame for the loss of more than 7 trillion pesos of revenues, appeared before the NBI and sought clarification on alleged charges against him. Bangayan denies being a smuggler, a thing which businessmen and legitimate traders found incredible.
Bangayan says he is not the David Tan being blamed for the loss of trillions of pesos due to smuggling.
It took several days before the NBI and the DOJ finally told the pubic the truth--a few days ago, the NBI says they cannot confirm if David Tan is a real person and after several days, Justice secretary Leila de Lima herself confirmed that, indeed, Davidson Tan Bangayan is a real man. She even described him as a veritable one-man cartel.
Bangayan used the surname Tan in transacting with customs officials and brokers and importers. I cannot believe it if the NBI does not have a dossier of such a high profile person depriving this Nation of billions and trillions of pesos.
It is totally unthinkable that our intelligence agencies do not have any dossier of criminals? That probably explains why we are encountering enormous problems in peace and order.
This is the problem. When authorities deal with an ordinary person, they just give that person two (2) options---live and face jail or die in a gruesome way. When they face a person who is more sinister than others yet amass tremendous wealth, they tend to protect that demon. Well, that's expected--a demon always protect his own kind.

Smugglers as demi-gods? The True God will test their mettle
Was this expose about rice smuggling a political thing or just intramurals between two groups--the group as represented by Argee Guevarra and the other one, of Agriculture secretary Procy Alcala?
Guevarra has accused Alcala and his group of graft for allowing rice importations which run contrary to the highly public announcements of Alcala that the country has already achieved rice sufficiency.
Is there an attempt to link a very controversial smuggler to members of the President's official family to create a destabilized situation? Or, this is just to spite Alcala who reportedly battles several big-time rice smugglers?
The thing with this so-called "revelations" or "exposes" is this---there is no resolution. The Senate concluded its rice smuggling investigations which resulted to the prosecution of Lito Banayo, an Aquino appointee yet, spared Davidson Tan Bantayan from prosecution. Why is this person so strong?
That is a 6 billion peso question.
Lito Banayo, said to be the "man" behind David Tan, ran yet withdrew from the Congressional race last elections. He faces an Ombudsman case for graft.
What the public does not know is that these David Tan, Danny Ngos and the rest are financiers. They facilitate the speedy release of cargoes inside the Bureau of Customs using what they earned from the importation of rice.
At the bureau, three items are considered for the big-time players--rice, oil (all kinds) and construction materials.
These financiers boast that they can squeeze the local economy dry and prevent progress by manipulating or managing the entry of goods into the country. Such bravado necessitates a strong state-led response.
Are you not asking why no one prosecutes or even touches these persons, as if they are gods?
As they say, God hates other gods. The True God annihilates them all.

Customs being challenged by influential forces involved in smuggling
BIR commissioner Sonny Sevilla and the rest of the deputy commissioners have just warmed their seats, when the Philippine Daily Inquirer released a two-part series describing how customs collections got affected by the illicit activities of three big-time smugglers of rice.
One of the three has been identified as Davidson Tan. It seems that this person is a pure Filipino-Chinese. What people do not know is that the surname of Davidson is not Tan, but Bantayan.
Yes, this person is indeed a Filipino-Chinese but his true surname is Bantayan, not Tan.
This alleged smuggler is quite known in the industry because of his strong links with a former official of the Aquino administration who now faces a criminal charge because of alleged graft and corruption when he was still an administrator. This person is once the communications adviser of a former PNP chief who became a legislator. He likewise advised a former president who was jailed.
Davidson is reportedly close to the Powers-That-Be. He is proximate to the Center of Power because of his alleged links with a presidential uncle. He likewise partners with a certain Danny Ngo.
Davidson is very influential. He came into influence during the time of Customs commissioner Napoleon "Boy" Morales.
Sources say, Davidson hires members of the NBI and the PNP as his bodyguards. He uses two persons by the names of Ely and Hermie. Ely reportedly gives the monthly take to the Commissioners while Hermie does the coordination with other officials.
Another "influential smuggler" who continues to operate in this country is a person named Tina Yu. Her full name is Tina Vidal.
This person claims to be friends with officials in the Aquino administration. She is reportedly very close to certain members of the Aquino cabinet and is "untouchable".
Other untouchable smugglers are the following:
Armand Ng, Richard Ng, Edwin Santos, Noel Mariano, Leonida Dalida alyas Josie Permeho and Ahan Chong.
Now you know.
