TWO PCSO BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ESTAFA CASES FILED AGAINST THEM

Francisco Joaquin charged with estafa

TWO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF THE PHILIPPINE CHARITY SWEEPSTAKES OFFICE HAVE PENDING WARRANTS FOR THEIR ARREST FOR ALLEGED ESTAFA CHARGES.


OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PCSO BOARD LED BY MARGARITA MARGIE JUICO ARE ALSO BEING INVESTIGATED AND BEING LIFESTYLE CHECKED BY AN INTERNAL GROUP OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES FOR POSSIBLE FILING OF CASES BEFORE THE OFFICE OF THE OMBUDSMAN. 

DOCUMENTS HERE SHOWED ATTY. ALETA TOLENTINO AND FRANCIS JOAQUIN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD LED BY EMBATTLED CHAIR MARGIE JUICO HAVE PENDING CASES BEFORE THE COURTS FOR ESTAFA.

A CASE OF ESTAFA HAS BEEN CHARGED AGAINST JOAQUIN BEFORE THE METROPOLITAN TRIAL COURT OF MANILA, A COPY IS SHOWN HERE.

ANOTHER COPY OBTAINED FROM THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION SHOWS ANOTHER CASE FILED AGAINST FRANCISCO JOAQUIN BEFORE THE REGIONAL TRIAL COURT OF QUEZON CITY FOR VIOLATION OF SPECIAL STATUES.

HE IS ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THE WANTED LIST OF THE NBI. RECORDS SHOW THAT JOAQUIN REPORTEDLY LIVES IN NORTH GREENHILLS, SAN JUAN METRO MANILA. THE CASE IS DOCKETED AS Q-33595.

CASES OF ESTAFA HAS ALSO BEEN FILED AGAINST ATTY. ALETA TOLENTINO, AS SHOWN IN THESE PAPERS PUBLISHED HERE AND OBTAINED FROM THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.

TOLENTINO IS REPORTEDLY A MEMBER OF A PARTYLIST ORGANISATION THAT LOST IN THE 2010 ELECTIONS. SHE IS REPORTEDLY A RELATIVE OF A HIGH RANKING AQUINO CABINET OFFICIAL (?).

A COPY OF HER NBI RECORDS IS SHOWN HERE. SHE HAS A CASE OF SWINDLING OR ESTAFA AND IS WANTED BY THE COURTS OF LAGUNA. HER CASE NO IS 8477-01-C.

SHE REPORTEDLY LIVES IN THE PAMANA BUILDING, A. ARNAIZ AVENUE IN MAKATI CITY.

ACCORDING TO THE CIVIL SERVICE RULES, NO PERSON ACCUSED OF A CRIME OR WANTED BY THE LAW CAN ASSUME A GOVERNMENT POST UNTIL AFTER THE RESOLUTION OF THEIR CASES IN COURT.

IT SHOWS IN THESE DOCUMENTS THAT THE TWO, ALETA TOLENTINO AND FRANCISCO JOAQUIN HAVE BEEN FOUND TO HAVE REPORTEDLY EVADED THE LAW. THEY ARE BOTH ACCUSED OF THE CRIMES OF ESTAFA AND SWINDLING.

A GROUP WITHIN MALACANANG IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING OTHER BOARD MEMBERS OF THE PHILIPPINE CHARITY SWEEPSTAKES OFFICE NAMELY: BETTY NANTES, WIDOW OF THE LATE QUEZON GOVERNOR RAFFY NANTES AND MABEL MAMBA.

INITIAL PROBE SHOWS THAT A CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEE OF NANTES HAS BEEN FOUND TO HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD YET WAS ABLE TO WORK AT THE PCSO.

THIS SPACE IS OPEN FOR THE TWO BOARD MEMBERS TO EXPLAIN THIS TO THE PUBLIC. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR THE FILIPINO PEOPLE TO HAVE TWO PERSONS CHARGED WITH ESTAFA AND SWINDLING HAVING THE POWER TO HANDLE BILLIONS OF PESOS WORTH OF PUBLIC FUNDS. 

Juico--Trojan Horse ni Gloria? Or just plain stupid. Resign Juico Now!

Imagine the entire Church humiliated by the erroneous accusation of Margie Juico and the PCSO board with Betty Nantes, Mamba, Tolentino and what-have-you. Juico denies accusing the bishops of getting "Pajeros' when three (3) reputable news outlets, including one which they paid 750,000 pesos allegedly (source is internal) to just publish the "kuryente" news of the Pajero bishops have attested that it came from her own mouth. 

Juico should re-examine her statements. She really said those bishops got Pajeros, not utility vehicles. The senate discovered that there was no Pajeros involved.

And I am saddened by the statement of Senator Teofisto Guingona IV, head of the Senate Blue Ribbon committee. Guingona, whom I admire and helped during the elections, said that Juico should not resign from her post. WTF?

Mr. Senator, this woman is either a trojan horse of former president Gloria Arroyo or just plain stupid. IMagine, coming out and accusing innocent people of a crime they did not commit and now says, she's sorry? 

Juico should not just be fired and the entire board as well. They should be charged with libel!

And to my friend, Senator Guingona. Join us in asking for Juico's head.

CBCP SHOULD FILE LIBEL CHARGES AGAINST JUICO AND PCSO BOARD

According to a very reliable source, it was the suggestion of a lady board member of the PCSO who is a non-lawyer and reputedly very close to Dante Ang to picture the vehicles as PAJEROS or SUVs when in fact, the vehicles donated by the PCSO were all utility vehicles.

And based on my contact, the CBCP particularly the bishops are thinking of filing libel charges against Juico and the rest of the PCSO board. My sources say the PCSO board committed libel when they accused these bishops of impropriety. The main requisite for the crime of libel is when a person imputes a crime against another without sufficient basis in truth and in fact.

In this case, there were several quotes attributed to Juico and other board members accusing the Bishops of receiving SUVs or Pajeros. In today's Senate hearing, Juico denied ever mentioning the term "Pajero" despite overwhelming pieces of evidence (news reports) directly quoting her.

Seems like the truth is finally unravelling...

JUICO AND THE PCSO BOARD'S EXPOSE BECAME A DUD. POOF. PAHIYA SI JUICO SAMPU NG MGA PCSO BOARD MEMBERS. YAN, PAPAKITANG GILAS KAY PNOY AT PARA DI MABUKO NI PNOY SA MGA KATIWALIAN NILA SA AHENSYA, NAGPASABOG SILA NG EXPOSE NA SUMABOG SA MUKHA NILA. BUTI NGA.

THE PCSO IS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE DUE TO THE MISMANAGEMENT OF THE JUICOS. STARTING TOMORROW, THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT.

THE JUICOS AND THE IRREGULARITIES REPORTEDLY COMMITTED BY THE PRESENT BOARD WILL BE EXPOSED, ESPECIALLY THE EXPLOITATION OF THE PR FUND....THE RECEIVING OF LOTENG MONEY BY PCSO DIRECTORS COURSED THRU A MAN WITH SO MANY CRIMINAL CASES...JUETENG MONEY BEING REPORTEDLY CHANNELLED THRU PHILIO JUICO AND PNOY RELATIVE ARBOLEDA....MILLIONS OF EXTORTION MONEY REPORTEDLY RECEIVED BY A TRUSTED MAN OF A LADY BOARD MEMBER FROM STL OPERATORS...

MARAMI SIGURONG KATIWALIAN ANG DATING BOARD PERO, ANG MALI PINALITAN NG MGA TIWALI RING MGA TAO ANG BOARD NG PCSO.

Senator Miriam Santiago slams PCSO for asking for investigation of the Church SUV: Juico's head should be cut now!

Senator Miriam Santiago lambasted the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) today at the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee for "wasting the time of the Senate and the people's monies" for calling for an investigation on the giving away of the SUVs to Catholic bishops.

In a stirring speech, Santiago says that the Supreme Court has already ruled that donations or cash coming from government should not be immediately rendered as illegal or illicit, just because it was given by the government. In a landmark case of the Supreme court, the Highest Tribunal of the land, says that the reason for the donation or the reason why the donation is necessary is enough to allow such donations.

Kumbaga, the church officials are not liable for breaking any law. Therefore, the scandal is a non-scandal. Pooh. Poooopppp!

Or what we call in the industry as KURYENTE! KURYENTE!

Juico's revelations backfired. 

This issue exploded before the very face of Juico and the current PCSO board composed of Betty Nantes, Mamba, Tolentino and others.

Santiago's expose is very excellent. I will get a copy and published it here.

The entire PCSO board now will be abolished by Senator Santiago! Congratulations!

PCSO wants to make amends with the Church after false accusations

AFTER ACCUSING THE CHURCH OF IMMORALITY IN GETTING LEGITIMATE DONATIONS FROM THE PHILIPPINE CHARITY SWEEPSTAKES OFFICE (PCSO), PCSO CHAIRMAN MARGIE JUICO WANTS A VERITABLE "CEASEFIRE" WITH THE CBCP.


Realizing that they erred in this and already squeezed every publicity juice out of the so-called scandal, Juico is trying to cleanse the Church from any anomaly. Sources say, Juico and the Board will use the Senate hearing in trying to mend their sour relationship with the Church. 


This only proves that the PCSO just used the Church in this publicity stunt. If I am a member of the CBCP, I will not approve of the PCSO's overtures. If the PCSO indeed hold solid pieces of evidence against these Church officials, they should instead file appropriate charges before the courts. 


The PCSO's statement of reconciliation is a trapo move. The Church should not welcome such moves. Why? Because it should not allow itself to be a victim of negative publicity just for the current board to hide what it is currently doing----legitimizing jueteng operations.


Yes, several people will be testifying against the PCSO board very soon. A fact-finding probe is in order. 


The Senate should start investigating the current PCSO board for irregularities.

Aquino administration re-discovering the straight road?

Aquino rediscovering the
true and straight road?

President Aquino just sold his Porsche for 4.6 million pesos. That car has been with him for only a few months but probably due to "pressure" (some say from his sisters), Noynoy was convinced to part with it. 


When I heard that he did this, I sighed and cried. Is this the start of a new beginning for this administration? I hope so.


I really hope that Aquino will now face these challenges with a broader than usual perspective and a strong political will. 


I really hope that Aquino continues to open his ears to suggestions and critiques (not criticisms) since these are being done for his benefit. 


If Pnoy was able to part with his precious dream car, will he also have the gall to part with his "shooting buddies" and erring classmates who put him under very humiliating circumstances in the past?


I am referring to Margie Juico, who continues to say that there are anomalies in the PCSO without legally substantiating them. Juico, I think, is a Trojan Horse. The entire deck of cards against the former regime would fall by the second, the public discovers that these PCSO board allegations are all PR stunts. 


Based on a review of the PCSO charter, there is nothing legally infirm about donations given to the Church. The Supreme Court already clarified and classified the term donations given by the PCSO to church and religious affiliations. 


Fact is, Juico even admitted that they are very worried about this since this allegation against the Church is largely unfounded and has no basis in law. Again, a review of the PCSO charter will show that no irregularity in giving donations to churches and religious groups. 


Nothing wrong again with giving donations to local government units, this has been admitted again by Juico in her interview with Ted Failon yesterday. Failon commented the piece meal thing the PCSO is doing, even alleging that the PCSO is conducting a PR campaign instead of really showing a very tight legal case.


Morato etal should file libel cases against Juico since Juico is churning up allegations against allegations without legal basis. Juico is liable for libel.


Aquino should fire Juico and the entire PCSO board for murking up these cases against Arroyo. 


This goes to Virgie Torres, who was investigated for alleged complicity in the stradcom ownership dispute. Same goes to shooting buddy Undersecretary Puno who remains at the DILG but without any legitimate function. We are paying for the salary of someone who's useless.


Other Cabinet members fit for retirement are Customs chief Angelito Alvarez and other members of GOCCs particularly of RPN 9.

PCSO SCANDAL, ACCORDING TO JUICO: KURYENTE

Margie Juico should be fired. The same goes to the entire board of the PCSO for two (2) reasons: one, for ignorance of the law and two, for spending PCSO money to back up a PR campaign to ingratiate themselves to Pnoy.


What is so illegal with giving ambulances to provincial governments? None. What is so illegal with giving vehicles to the Church? None.


Tainting these with the term "political patronage" is, without a doubt, a PR stunt, not necessarily, a legal one.


Inquirer should not banner such things, since this PCSO scandal, according to Juico, is what we in the industry call "kuryente".


Worst, it may even drag other cases of more substantive nature with it. 


It's okey to drag Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo with the fertilizer scam, the North rail project and this and that anomalous deals, since these have basis of illegality.


But to drag her and her allies with this so-called PCSO mess is very dangerous.


What is so anomalous about the PCSO now?


It is Margie retaining his son as Chief of Staff, ergo, nepotism.


It is Margie and the board abandoning the Quezon Institute (QI) and spending the operational funds of the agency for leasing expenses.


It is Margie allowing a pro-Arroyo publicist Dante Ang full control of PR funds. 


And it is Margie mismanaging the affairs of the agency and not being able to settle the debts of the PCSO with hospitals despite getting bigger revenues every single day.


These are according to Manoling Morato, former board member of the PCSO.

To Pnoy--fire Margie Juico and the entire PCSO Board Now!

If you're doing something illegal, the best tactic to use is bring up the anomalies of the past to hide those you're doing right now. This is what Margie Juico and the current PCSO board is doing, says Manoling Morato.


Juico is being accused of nepotism. She maintains her son as her chief of staff, earning millions of pesos worth of salaries from the PCSO. Her brother, Emmet Penson, supplies wheelchairs to the PCSO, an obvious conflict of interest. Her husband, Philip Juico, together with publicist Dante Ang, a known Arroyo henchman, reportedly controls the PR funds worth multi-millions of the PCSO. Tons of money from alleged crooked STL operators goes to the pockets of the Juico gang allegedly being facilitated by a staffer of one of the PCSO directors who has numerous criminal cases tugged in his belt. 


Morato says more and more Filipinos are dying because of lack of assistance from the PCSO. The old board left at least 6 billion pesos in the agency's coffers. Now, Juico claims that there is no more money. Where is the money of the PCSO?


Juico is reportedly doing these exposes for the benefit of the people. It is quite obvious, based on evidence, that Juico is just trying to hide her alleged nefarious activities at the PCSO. The PCSO's funds are being used by some directors for their future political plans, says an insider. One of the directors has a plan to run for either the governorship or the congressional post in his/her province.


What this director does not know is one or two of her staffers are getting into illicit deals without her knowledge and even robbing her of her money in clear daylight. An internal probe is being conducted by the palace and the NBI and it is a matter of time before these staffers are hauled to jail.


The Senate or Congress should investigate this mess. The Filipino people do not deserve this. President Aquino should fire the entire board.
