A very dense lapsus, bow!

After barking themselves hoarse looking for justice for the late radio blocktimer Lito Jimena, here comes Lapsus writer Danny “Estafador” Fajardo pretending that Mayor Jed Mabilog and a certain Muchada has been checking on the CIDG and the progress of its investigation on the Lito Jimena case. Granting this chismis from Iloilo’s numero uno chismoso is true, what is wrong if Mabilog indeed asked what the status of the investigation is?

Someone drowning in estafa cases just can't make up his mind. Haslo no?

As rabid as Jimena’s family is in seeking redress for their kin’s death, Mabilog must also be as rabid in getting his name cleared as the “mastermind.” After all, the coward and slanderous Manuel Mejorada refuses to issue an affidavit naming Mabilog as the mastermind which just reinforces one’s belief that all this is moro-moro and political harassment. Just how many times have they been proven wrong but won’t “cease and desist” from making up stories? Check out the supalpals on Jed’s alleged bogus wedding, the political angle on Jimena’s murder, Jed’s Tigbauan mansion, and Rommel Ynion going to Stanford.

Mabilog, Ynion believe it’s a ‘third party’ liability

Mabilog, Ynion believe it’s a ‘third party’ liability

By: Herbert Vego

http://www.thedailyguardian.net/index.php/local-news-8/2434-mabilog-ynion-believe-its-a-third-party-liability

FROM the bits and pieces we have read and heard, both Iloilo City Mayor Jed Mabilog and businessman Rommel Ynion agree that a “third party” could have masterminded the grenade-blasting of Ynion’s Bali Hotel Monday. Ten days earlier, an alleged stray bullet had pierced the glass pane of Ynion’s house at Puerto Real.

Culprits, a theory goes, would do anything to keep the Jed-Rommel “word war” going.

But “third party” doesn’t make sense yet until pinpointed because the words could refer to one man or a thousand and one men who could lose whatever gain they had bagged from the Mabilog-Ynion “word war” on air and in print. They could be minions of any of the two who want them to run against each other in 2013 for the “fund” of it.

Let’s recall that a day after blocktime broadcaster Lito Jimena fell dead from an assassin’s six bullets in an ambush in a Negros Occidental town, The News Today’s Boy Mejorada tagged Mayor Mabilog as main suspect.

Imagine the anti-Mabilog public wrath that such a slanted story could have provoked had the readers swallowed it. Fortunately for the mayor, nobody believed it.

A few days before the Bali explosion, Ynion had terminated the services of his anti-Mabilog radio blocktimers with no explanation, leaving only one Boy M as the sole “anchor” of a weekly radio-cable TV presentation – an indication that the “word war” was about to end.

Also, while in the United States, Rommel Ynion had texted Mayor Mabilog to say that an anti-Mabilog item in his own newspaper (referring to The News Today), had misquoted him. “Wala ko da ‘ya labot ha,” he added.

It was tantamount to disowning the words that Boy M had put in Ynion’s mouth.

In the event of a Mabilog-Ynion reunion, Boy M could go jobless and pinch pennies once more.

But let it not be said that this bitterest Ynion critic (circa February and March 2011) had anything to do with the grenade explosion. In fairness to Boy, he is no violent. His forte is simply making a killing – making big money with no sweat, that is.

A group calling itself Advocates for a Better Iloilo City has expressed support for the idea of architect Melvin Lataquin on how to solve the squatter problem in Iloilo City.

The idea is to build condo-style four- or five-story tenement homes available to the urban poor for an affordable rent at P500 to P1,500 per non-transferable unit. This should end the proliferation of jobless but “professional” squatters who make use of City Hall connections to acquire “relocation sites” on which to build houses for sale or rent.

Financing for the project could be provided through loans from the banks or the National Housing Authority (NHA).

The idea is also aimed at driving squatters back to their hometowns to plow the fields or fish at sea. Jobless squatters who are given free housing in the relocation sites tend to commit crimes for a living.

Rommel Ynion mad at Manuel Mejorada because Jed was not the mastermind of Lito’s killing

Upon reading this piece by Alex Vidal, Rommel Ynion was supposed to have gotten mad at his bloody media mercenary Manuel “Boy” Mejorada and hollered (Danny Fajardo’s favorite word for “shouted”) at the fat one, “Abi ko migohay kamo ni Alex?! Damo naman to nahatag ko sa imo?!”

Aha, tumboy time!  And now for the “piece de resistance” that caused a lover’s tiff between Rommel and Boy (What?! No free beer at Del Rio?!) :

http://www.thedailyguardian.net/index.php/local-news-8/1989-batman-escapes-slay-try

By: Alex P. Vidal

IF reports were true that unidentified gunmen tried to liquidate “Batman” while he was waiting for a ferry boat in the Bacolod pier for a trip back to Iloilo last August 24, our suspicion that “Robin” was murdered because of his activities as “Batman’s” sidekick could be correct.

We suspect it was not only “Robin” who was the target of the assailants. Given the right opportunity and proper timing, the triggermen would have succeeded in taking the lights out of both “Batman and Robin” in three days!

“Robin” was killed in E.B. Magalona, Negros Occidental on August 22 after being chased down by two hitmen while riding on his motorbike. Iloilo-based “Batman” went to visit his subaltern’s cadaver at the morgue of the Teresita Jalandoni Provincial Hospital in Silay City.

CHARACTERS

Sources said unidentified characters believed to be cohorts if not the culprits who finished off “Robin” followed “Batman” and spotted him in the Bacolod pier.

“The presence of policemen in the wharf alarmed the gunmen and decided to call off the operation,” a source informed us Thursday afternoon.

The source said “Batman” is aware that he is also being followed and probably marked for liquidation by the same characters who murdered his civilian partner “that’s why he is very cautious and careful with his movements.”

Because of that alleged incident in the Bacolod wharf last Wednesday afternoon, “Batman” must have been convinced already their enemies were determined to annihilate them at all costs.

EVENTS

This latest chronology of events surrounding “Robin’s” murder will throw out to the window the insistence of curious observers that a top politician in Iloilo City could be the mastermind, and that “Robin’s” murder was purportedly done in Negros “to confuse police investigators.”

We refuse to buy this angle, although it is incumbent upon the investigators to seriously consider this possibility for procedural purposes. They could be right in this slightest probability. But based on “Batman’s” alleged latest near-fatal brush with would-be assassins, we have become more convinced the entire hullabaloo is handiwork of gangland perpetrators with bad blood against “Batman and Robin.”

RECONCILE

It’s not hard to reconcile the circumstances of alleged attempt to liquidate “Batman” after “Robin” had been downed only in less than 48 hours.

If “Robin” had been ordered killed by an Iloilo City politician to even the score for slandering the politician in his blocktime programs, based on theories of those agitating to link the Iloilo City politician to the crime, why would the politician or the politician’s mad dogs also run after “Batman” who does not handle political blocktime programs?

Different angles and theories are being pursued and analyzed both by police probers, friends and relatives of “Robin” as they scramble to put a face in the puzzle and mystery that shroud “Robin’s” cruel death.

APPEAL

For the meantime, we appeal to authorities to dig deeper into the angles of “double-cross” and “vengeance over a botched deal.” Sources told us the 2009 slay attempt on “Robin” could be connected to his murder last Monday afternoon.

We are not insinuating that “Batman and Robin” are the guilty parties in these brouhaha, but common sense would tell that extreme punishment of death has always been the underworld’s logical and final option for those they deemed to be major stumbling blocks in their operations and existence.

Journalists are morally obliged to tell the truth BY ALEX P. VIDAL

by Alex P. Vidal on Saturday, August 27, 2011 at 4:37pm

 

I will risk my reputation as journalist to declare that the incumbent mayor of Iloilo City has nothing to do whatsoever with the cold-blooded murder of blocktime radio commentator Niel “Lito” Jimena last August 22 in E.B. Magalona, Negros Occidental.

I don’t wish to act as spokesman of the mayor who I haven’t met eversince I left for the United States in 2008; but, I believe, we journalists are morally obliged to tell the truth, inform and educate the public, and present the facts of issues objectively without any mental reservation, fear or favor, and purpose of evasion.

We mislead the public when we make baseless and unfounded accusations and insist they are the gospel truth despite the absence of concrete and damning evidence.

 

INCREDIBLE

 

We mislead the public when we make wild and incredible charges based on hearsay, half-truths, partisanships and emotions.  

We have mental dishonesty when we insist posthaste the city mayor had masterminded the killing because Jimena was one of those who regularly lambasted the city mayor in his radio blocktime programs. 

After talking to my very reliable sources most recently, I have become more certain that Jimena’s murder could have something to do with his controversial liaison with police Senior Inspector Musa Amiyong, Iloilo City’s former police intelligence officer, who was actively engaged in the campaign against illegal drugs in metro Iloilo.

Either the hit was ordered by the top brass of a disgruntled drugs syndicate that wanted Jimena dead as early as 2009, or by remnants of a group of former intelligence operatives composed of scalawags with links to the syndicate who were also involved in “hulidap” (“huli” or arrest first and “holdup” or rob them afterwards).

 

RACKET

 

“Hulidap” is a common racket among rogue cops anywhere in the country. This has been a lucrative “sideline” of some bad eggs in police service  And most of their victims are criminal elements that agree to settle for certain cash rather than spend time in jail.

This is where criminals develop their deep hatred towards the arresting officers and their civilian underlings responsible for providing tips that lead to their arrest.

In many cases, police scalawags utilize their civilian assets to transact with the criminals. There are cases when both the criminals and the civilian assets develop “unholy alliances” that result in the civilian assets being tempted to betray their police bosses.

There are also cases when disloyal civilian assets don’t turn over the loot to their police bosses who, in turn, incur the ire of their “business partners” — their fellow police scalawags waiting for their share of the “SOP” (standard operating procedure).

 

DELIVERED

If the SOP is not delivered, either the police “business partners” will clash and shoot each other in a “misencounter” or “heated argument,” or they will both agree to liquidate the erring civilian assets as punishment for betraying them.

It is not only the syndicates that are capable of initiating extreme punishment on police civilian assets. Internal wrangling over money matters among ruffians in uniform can also result in the killing of their civilian underlings.

The “Task Force Jimena” formed by Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office (NOPPO) director, Senior Supt. Allan Guisihan last August 26, should invite Amiyong and ask his cooperation to shed light on their past operations and activities when both Amiyong and Jimena earned notoriety in the underworld community as “Batman and Robin.” 

A background of the relationship of the late Lito Jimena and Manuel “Boy” Mejorada (Great for the NBI Files)

Aug. 13, 2009

MANGGARANON C BOY:

“One voucher for instance showed three payments made to “Boy Mejorada” in April 2005 that totaled P116,115,50. The voucher was prepared by a Chelo Mae Tagsa, HN Trading Accounting/Human Resource Department staff. Another voucher also showed Mejorada’s cut of P58,588.20 for the quarry proceeds from 79 trucks in March 2005. Mejorada’s share here was P600 per truck and the same share for the delivery of 40 trucks amounting to P29,666 also in March 2005.”

And now for the complete story:

Remember the 10% quarry commission brouhaha courtesy of top governor’s aide Manuel Mejorada? Remember the criminal and administrative complaints against the governor and same aide over mis-use of Capitol funds through Capitol radio blocktime program, “Capitol in Action”?

Try no more for yesterday an Ilonggo lawyer “resurrected” the cases and the complaints before the Office of the Ombudsman in the Visayas.

In doing so, lawyer Joviel Edama, Associate of the Soriano, Sy & Simora Law Office sought for a case update bringing to light Capitol “ghosts from the past.”

Edama was a former Associate of known lawyer – writer Cornelio Panes who passed away in April. Cases left unresolved by the Panes, Panes & Edama Law Office were then turned over to him including those pending before the Ombudsman.

Among the principal cases personally pursued by Panes where he stood as complainant himself were the Tupas – Mejorada Capitol matters.

Mejorada was hurled before the Ombudsman for his role as “commissioner” in a quarry operation of businessman James Ang of HN Trading.

To recall, Mejorada’s boss, Governor Tupas called for an in-house Capitol investigation where Mejorada admitted as much to the 10% commission deal.

The Provincial Legal Office (PLO) fact-finding team in its report cited how Mejorada admitted to a “business partnership” with former quarry runner Niel “Lito” Jimena. It was Jimena who squealed on the Mejorada 10% quarry commission.

Further still, the PLO wrote that Mejorada “went on to admit that he had a direct del with James Ang though as “middleman” who contacted truckers or owners of hauling businesses to deliver quarry materials to James Ang who in turn sold them to Taishi.”

“Taishi” or Taisei –Shimizu were the contractors of the new Iloilo airport project.

“Mejorada further told this Committee that he got paid by Ang as commission, P10 for every cubic meter delivered to the latter by the truckers,” the PLO report went. “Helping him in that deal with Ang was Jimena as business partner, specifically “runner” who collected his commission from Ang.

Mejorada could not “exactly” recall how many times did Jimena deliver checks to him and the exact amount of monies he got in commission but he did inform this Committee that he has given Jimena some P25,000 as the latter’s “share” in the partnership. That business partnership, however, is now dissolved, as the Mejorada – Jimena relationship soured.”

Admission and all, the PLO though only admonished Mejorada stating “he should be reminded from engaging in a similar activity so as to be above suspicion.”

That apparently closed the case as far the governor’s investigation was concerned. Yet for Edama, seeking anew the Ombudsman’s action meant the continuance of the probe as earlier sought.

Edama in the death of Panes manifested now his intent to take over and be the substitute as complainant.

Among the evidences submitted by Panes and resubmitted by Edama were HN Trading vouchers and a check showing and confirming Mejorada’s commissions.

One voucher for instance showed three payments made to “Boy Mejorada” in April 2005 that totaled P116,115,50. The voucher was prepared by a Chelo Mae Tagsa, HN Trading Accounting/Human Resource Department staff. Another voucher also showed Mejorada’s cut of P58,588.20 for the quarry proceeds from 79 trucks in March 2005. Mejorada’s share here was P600 per truck and the same share for the delivery of 40 trucks amounting to P29,666 also in March 2005.

Meantime, the same Manifestation from Edama on the “Capitol in Action” program that dragged both Mejorada and his boss, Governor Tupas in the Ombudsman complaint.

The complaint pointed out the purpose of the “Capitol in Action” blocktime program which was designed and supposedly aimed at advocacy for public’s payment of taxes.

Yet as presented to the Ombudsman, said radio program was used “ to the personal and political benefits of both public respondents by way of useless blabber maligning and attacking other public officials including some members of Congress.”

Rommel Ynion and Manuel Mejorada should be suspects in Lito’s killing

Adobo Ilonggo went on a day’s hiatus and what do you know? Several readers sent emails positing their views about the Lito Jimena murder. Most of them were one in their view that pathetic Mafioso Rommel Ynion and his bloody media mercenary Manuel Mejorada of The Ngarag Today (also called Black Media Manipulators) may as well be suspects themselves.

Here are the views of Adobo’s readers in their own naked language:

• Hoy Adobo, wala ka kabalo nga Ynion gave P100 thousand to the late lito jimena para kasohan si mayor before? According ina kay john sapio kag na confirm namon ina. (name withheld upon request)
• There is great possibility that  Manuel Mejorada had a role in the murder of Lito Jimena. Boy has a deep and old grudge against Lito especially because Lito exposed their racket in the quarrying operations of the New Iloilo Airport during the time of the Tupases. Indi ayhan gin sulsulan niya si Rommel nga tumbahon si Lito para makabalos siya kag mapuslan nila ni Rommel ang isyu kay pasibangdan nila si Jed? Ari link ho:http://www.thenewstoday.info/2005/06/21/iloilonews4.htm

  “Jimena has since said he worked for his “Boss Boy”and became a quarry permittee despite his failure to come up with the required qualifications.

  While all the papers are under his name, Jimena bare though that in the final end, checks for payment was issued to Mejorada.

  Radio reports confirmed several checks issued to the Provincial Administrator by a contractor with business dealings on the Capitol relative to the quarry operations on the New Iloilo Airport Development Project. However said top Tupas aide argued, the checks were for a private deal that had nothing to do with the quarry where he reserves his right not to divulge it.  Heard over Aksyon Radyo, ace-reporter Johnny Diaz then got hold of the confirmation from the contractor’s secretary of said Mejorada checks though she clarified not being privy to the reason of said practice.”

  The above was sent by a certain “Soxy”. Adobo Ilonggo doffs his hat off (never mind the balding head) to the intrepid readers who do their research well and are a great help to investigators researching on the possible motives for the death of Lito Jimena.

A decent analysis of the Lito Jimena murder: Look what you’ve done, Musa Amiyong

Adobo’s note:  Here is a decent analysis of events pre and post-murder of radio block-timer Lito Jimena, unlike the scurrilous and libelous “news articles” of Manuel Mejorada and Daniel Fajardo. Don’t you wish there were more Alex Vidals in this world?

 

By: Alex P. Vidal

http://thedailyguardian.net/index.php/local-news-8/1861-look-what-youve-done-musa-amiyong

POLICE Senior Inspector Musa Amiyong has a lot of explaining to do, first,

to the bereaved family of murdered radioman Niel “Lito” Jimena; and, second, to members of media in Iloilo and Negros.

It was Amiyong who recruited Jimena, 42, to become civilian agent of the Philippine Drugs Enforcement Agency (PDEA) several years back thus exposing the radioman’s life to danger.

If Amiyong did not enlist Jimena in the dangerous police operation, he probably did not suffer a cruel death last August 22 in Victorias City, Negros Occidental.

A radioman or any media practitioner for that matter, can’t serve two masters at the same time. There is always conflict of interest; and he ceases to be impartial once he wears multiple caps and lays his hand on a payroll outside his mandate as fiscalizer and purveyor of truth.

But because he probably thought he was incompetent as law enforcer, Amiyong needed to buttress his force by hiring the services of a mediaman to act as his sidekick. And Amiyong was so proud of this arrangement that he had no qualms telling all and sundry he was instrumental why Jimena was allowed to carry a firearm.

COFFEE

While having coffee at Dunkin Donut inside a mall in Iloilo City several months back, Jimena joined me in the table to ask my help regarding his relative who wanted to migrate to Canada. When I saw a short firearm tucked in his waist, I grilled him why he was carrying a deadly weapon when, as member of the Fourth Estate, he was supposed to be non-combatant (I am against the idea of allowing journalists to carry a gun. The pen itself is “mightier than the sword”).

Jimena told me he was “helping” Amiyong in the cop’s campaign against illegal drugs in Iloilo. In what capacity and how, he did not elaborate. How did he become instant police civilian agent while at the same time handling radio blocktime programs for politicians and businessmen was something that boggled my mind.

My worries reached a climax on August 22 near midnight when columnist Peter Jimenea texted me to inform that Jimena had been shot dead in Victorias City, Negros Occidental at around 6pm that evening.

REPORT

According to police report, Jimena was riding on his motorcycle at around 5:45pm from Victorias City on his way to his temporary resident at Hacienda Teresa in Brgy. Alicante, E.B. Magalona, Negros Occidental when two men riding in a motorcycle chased him and started shooting him.

Jimena incurred two bullet wounds in the back that exited in the front of his body. When he tried to escape by returning to Victorias City, he lost control of his motorcycle and fell. At this juncture, the assailants came nearer and pumped two more bullets on his head.

Probers said Jimena was still breathing when rushed to the Silay City Provincial Hospital where he expired at around 6:30 p.m.

MISGIVINGS

“Ka Peter” Jimenea also had misgivings of Jimena having ties with the controversial Amiyong whose credibility as anti-illegal drugs crusader is also a big question mark ( I have covered the police beat in the early 90’s and, more or less, I am familiar with Amiyong’s “talent”).

Probers are zeroing in on the suspects who also tried to kill Jimena in 2009 in Taytay Malago, Victorias City. In the first attack, Jimena was hit only in the leg and survived. Last August 22, they made sure Jimena was dead.

Many believed Jimena flirted with disaster when he decided to tie up with Amiyong. Probers theorized the hitmen could be hired killers or members of a drug syndicate that collided with Amiyong’s team.

INCUR

Although he had also incurred the ire of politicians and private individuals in his blocktime programs in Iloilo City, the issues that Jimena handled were not so dangerous that would warrant his brutal murder.

Only those with primitive minds that harbor deep hatred and ax to grind against Jimena and his activities as Amiyong’s civilian agent would be emboldened to commit the dastradly crime, and Amiyong, as command responsibility, is not blameless for the death of Lito Jimena being his superior.

We condemn Jimena’s treacherous and senseless murder and demand immediate justice for our fallen comrade. Rest in peace, Lito!

Jed killed Rizal! And other twisted theories from Black Media Operators

It is obvious by now that the twisted brains of Manuel “Kerida King” Mejorada and “Daniel” Danny Fajardo, under the instructions of Mafioso Rommel Ynion, will bleed the Lito Jimena murder dry — connecting Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog endlessly to the death of Jimena even without any official statements from the authorities yet. They have become judge, jury and executioner in exchange for bullet proof cars, town houses, Rolexes, iPads, guns and a million pesos of reasons.

What do you think is the right justice for people like Mejorada and Fajardo who have foisted lie upon lie on the Ilonggo public and assassinated the character of Iloilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog without an iota of evidence? They have filed cases against the mayor over alleged corruption but after filing the cases, they have talked themselves hoarse trying to convince the public the mayor is corrupt even though there is not a single statement from the Ombudsman to that effect.

Look at the daily malice and lies Fajardo spreads in his rag of a paper:

The police has not released any statement but look at how Panay News commits libel.

And by the way, one wonders what happened to the case of Daily Guardian publisher Lemuel Fernandez whose head was bashed in sometime early this year? That incident happened after Fernandez went up the office of Ynion and gave him a lecture on how to deal with the press. Two weeks after, he landed in the hospital and accused Ynion of having master-minded the bashing. Well, whatever happened to the police investigation? Just asking.

Rommel Ynion and the overpriced Macapagal Boulevard, according to the blog of Manuel Mejorada

Manuel Mejorada is such a good journalist.
