A TOTAL of 290 indigent beneficiaries from 11 associations in the five districts of Iloilo City benefited from the P1.45million cash aid provided through Self- Employment Assistance-Kaunlaran (SEA-K) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

Rep. Jerry P. Treñas, Mayor Jed Patrick E. Mabilog, Vice-Mayor Jose Espinosa III, and DSWD-6 regional director Minda Brigoli led the distribution of SEA-K Livelihood Capital Assistance to the recipients during the turn-over and oath-taking ceremony of officers at the Congressional office Friday.

The SEA-K Association composed of 30 members received P150,000 each while the 25-member group got P125,000 or P5,000 per member.

The recipients SEA-K Associations are Amethyst, Silver, Moonstone, and Topaz in La Paz, Opal and Turquoise in Lapuz, Sun Stone and Amber in Molo, Garnet and Gasper in Arevalo and Rose in City Proper.

The SEA-K is DSWD’s micro-finance strategy for poor individuals with entrepreneurial skills. They are given non-collateral and interest-free seed capital, which is payable within one to two years.

The fund has been made available for the beneficiaries to start a business or income-generating project after they have been trained in food and fish vending, and sari-sari store operation.

They are recipients also of Pantawid Pamilya poverty-alleviation program of the national government. (Iloilo City PIO)

Mabilog comes clean over Tigbauan mansion

BY JEZZA NEPOMOCENO

 

Danny Fajardo's reporter is a better journalist than him. Danny is good only with kiss-ass journalism, a new genre endemic and prevalent only in Iloilo City.

 

ILOILO City – Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog’s mansion in Las Conchas Del Mar Subdivision, Brgy. Namocon, Tigbauan, Iloilo was acquired long before he became the city mayor, his spokesperson clarified.

The city mayor’s liaison officer for political affairs Jeffry Celiz said the mansion was a conjugal property bought year after Mabilog was elected as city councilor in 2004.

Based on the 2006 Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net worth (SALN) of Mabilog, the house and lot in Tigbuan worth P1.44 million was acquired in 2005.

“There is no truth to reports that the property was bought during the mayor’s first year in office.

It was acquired way back in 2005 when he was still a neophyte city councilor,” Celiz explained.

Apart from the aforementioned mansion, Mabilog owns another residential house in Tigbauan.

The other one was worth P1.48 million and it is adjacent to the first property.

Celiz said Mabilog, as a public official, has been very transparent in all his dealings, especially in declaring his properties and debts.

“The mayor is not hiding his properties, and even his liabilities, from the public. However, we are saddened that these properties were being tainted by malicious imputations,” Celiz said.

The mansions in Tigbauan are currently being occupied by Mabilog’s relatives.

Mabilog and his family are permanently residing in Brgy. Tap-oc, Molo district here.

Meanwhile, Mabilog’s net worth as of December 2008 reached P42.3 million. Mabilog’s SALN for fiscal year 2009-2010 has not yet been disclosed to the press.

All public officials are required to submit their respective SALNs in the Bureau of Internal Revenue annually pursuant to Section 6 of Republic Act 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees./PN

A letter from a city scholar on the kabastusan of Panay News and the evil triumvirate

Dear Adobo Ilonggo,

Dugay na ako nagabasa sang imo nga blog apang gahipos hipos lang. I am a scholar of Iloilo City studying at West Visayas State University. Daw indi na gid ako ka sikmura sang akon nabasa sa Panay News subong nga Lunes nga peke kuno ang kasal ni Mayor Jed.

Paano ina natabo nga peke kay pirmi ginasugid sang akon pakaisa nga naimbitar siya sa kasal kay mayuhay sila ni Marivic nga misis ni Mayor Jed. Didto ato sa Buntatala sila ginkasal. Dumduman ko gid to kay man Christmas 2006 kag gin updan ko pa si Manang bakal sang bayo. Tama gid to siya ka excited kay daw sa ano bala gin imbitar siya sa kasal sang vice mayor mismo sang Iloilo City.

Nagsulat gid ako para pabutyag ang kalain sang buot ko nga-a patu-patuan sang Panay News istorya si Mayor Jed kag iya asawa. Kadamo sang nakakita sang kasal kag nag attend reception. Ano sala ni Mayor Jed sa Panay News haw? Ngaa nga daw sapat pagtratar nila sa Mayor sang siyudad? Ano man, gusto ni Fajardo mag mayor man? Daw katayog na gid na ya.

Ginakasubo ko nga pilambilog lang ga sagang kay Mayor Jed nga amo na ina ang iya kaayo sa mga kubos kaangay nakon nga haluson ka eskwela. Kung wala pa ko nangin city scholar sa ikaayo ni Mayor Jed, sapwan na lang guro kami nga pamilya. Ako nga daan ang magulang kag may anum pa ko ka manghod.

Sir Adobo Ilonggo, palihog indi ini pagbutang lang sa comments section sang blog. Tani dira gid ya sa front page kumbaga para basahan man sang tanan. Naluoy na gid ko ya kay Mayor Jed kag sa iya pamilya. Daw sobrahan na gid man ginahimo sa iya. Kabay pa nga maakig man siya kay daw sobrahan kabuot. Kunsabagay, karmahon man lang inang mga naga himo-himo istorya.

Ang imo fan,

Jonathan sang WVSU

A letter for Mayor Jed from an offended Ilonggo

Adobo Ilonggo is posting here, a letter emailed by a housewife from Mandurriao through her daughter who reads Adobo Ilonggo. Celia, the letter-sender is requesting that this letter reach Mayor Jed.  Here is her letter:

Dear Mayor Jed,

Kumusta ka na? Pacencia gid indi mayo akon English kay undergrad housewife ako kag indi anad magsulat English apang makaintinde Iningles. Nakasulat ako sa imo paagi sa Adobo Ilonggo kay ginabasa ina pirmi sang bata ko nga college student da sa UP Visayas kag amo kuno ina ginagamit palautwasan sang kalain sang buot sang pumuloyo sang siyudad amo gani nadumduman ko nga sa imo ipa agi ini nga sulat. Ginahambal ko ini sa bata ko habang ginasulat niya sa laptop padala sang iya magulang.

Mayor Jed, nagasakit ang akon buot mamati sa mga radyo kaangay RMN kag kay John Sapio sa Aksyon Radyo nga gina yamuhat ka nila. Bilang mayor, pabay-an mo lang ginatamay reputasyon mo? Nagasakit gani buot ko nga ginabastos lang mayor ko, ikaw pa ayhan? Ti ano, mapasensiya ka na lang hasta sa katubtuban nga tawgon ka sang kung ano nga ngalan kag patu-patuan istorya? Kabay pa mayor magbugtaw ka man nga ginabastos ka na sang media. Daw wala na gid na sila sa husto.

Wala ko ya labot sa kay Romel Ynion nga ina. Ang akon lang, tahaon tani sang medya ang mayor sang siyudad. Indi man bi sila kauyon sa imo, at least tahaon man nila pagka meyor mo kag ang posisyon mo. Ano na lang hambalon sang iban nga tawo nga sa sobra mo nga kabuot sugot ka lang lapakan dignidad mo? Nagasulat lang ko ya dala sang kalain buot kag kaluoy kay sa akon panulukan, nagatinguha ka man bilang meyor nga mag ayo ang siyudad ta kag kita ko man ina kay dugay na kami ga istar diri sa Mandurriao.

Salamat sa Adobo Ilonggo, napabutyag ko man akon balatyagon. Kabay pa iban dira mapabutyag man sang ila sentimiento. Daw sa into man ta nga mga Ilonggo sari ka agwanta sang mga medya nga ga tamay sang aton pinili nga mayor nga kung isipon wala ka man sang ipintas.

Kabay pa, makalab-ot ini kay Meyor Jed. Madamo gid nga salamat, Adobo Ilonggo kag padayuna ang imo sulat kay nasadyahan gid ang akon bata mag basa.

 

Ang nagakabalaka,

Celia sang Mandurriao

Ynions are a mafioso family ( a teaser)

Sorry, Adobo Ilonggo fans, your favorite balikbayan is in transit to the United States for a class reunion and some research. Adobo Ilonggo was hoping to get a seat beside Rommel “Mafioso” Ynion, the most talked about man in Iloilo City for being consistently illegal, among many other things but we heard he is busy doing more illegal stuff and might move his trip to the US.  Adobo Ilonggo also uncovered many sins of the Ynion Family, a true Mafia family in the scale of Don Vito Corleone. Adobo Ilonggo shall dissect the comings and goings of this Ilonggo Mafia family but that will have to wait for about three hours when we go on a layover in one of them huge airports that give me a headache. Meantime, make do with a post by Adobo Ilonggo’s number one fan, IlonggoAdoboGwapo from Facebook. Come on, be friends with him, your name won’t be seen and so your head won’t get bashed in ala Lemuel Fernandez. Security settings on that site is extremely tight (tsk, poetic a).

 

Who is Jed Patrick Mabilog (Part 1)

Crucified and vilified by all the local newspapers in Iloilo City (according to media insiders of Iloilo City, these newspapers such as Panay News, The News Today, and The Daily Guardian were bought by Rommel “Mafioso” Ynion (https://adoboilonggo.wordpress.com/2011/07/05/green-zone-corp-is-a-money-laundering-company/) specifically for propaganda purposes), one wonders who Iloilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog is that he deserves such ire and venom.

Mayor Jed (right) and CIDG chief CSupt. Pagdilao discuss peace and order issues in the region. Mayor Jed is the Regional Peace and Order Council chairperson.

Could the accusations against him as being corrupt be true? One must reconcile a person’s character and his actions and check which one is more consistent. So, Ilonggo Adobo Gwapo sifted through internet articles about Jed Patrick Mabilog just like what he did to Rommel “Mafioso” Ynion to see if the venomous accusations against the Iloilo City Mayor are true. And this is what Ilonggo Adobo Gwapo found:

• Deputy Secretary General for Visayas, League of Cities of the Philippines
• Chairman, Metro Iloilo-Guimaras Development Council
• Chairman, Infrastructure Committee, Regional Development Council
• Chairman, Iloilo City Taskforce on Economic Promotion
• Chairman, Regional Peace and Order Council of Region VI
• Chairman, Iloilo City Anti- Drug Abuse Council (ICADAC)
• Chairman, Area VI Boy Scouts of the Philippines Iloilo Confessor Council

And so, why would reputable and highly-esteemed organizations like the League of Cities of the Philippines and the Boy Scouts of the Philippines elect someone to a chairmanship if he was not trustworthy, if he does not have the statesmanship and the leadership qualities to steer the organizations to success? Just wondering. For more information on what’s going on in Iloilo City, check out the most viral blog in Western Visayas: https://adoboilonggo.wordpress.com/2011/07/07/conflicting-news-good-news/
