NOLI "KABAYAD" DE "CASH"TRO UNMASKED!!!



NOLI DE CASTRO has, in the past few years, portrayed himself as every corrupt government officials’ nemesis, the defender of the poor and the oppressed and the hope of the exploited and the helpless. Every morning, De Castro is heard over radio DZMM fearlessly lambasting corrupt police officials, taking to task lazy and inefficient government functionaries and exposing exploitative and oppressive private individuals and Big Business. His exposes continue on ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation’s primetime television news, TV PATROL and the once-a-week news magazine program, MAGANDANG GABI, BAYAN. In the process, De Castro has managed to cultivate an image of "MR. CLEAN." Indeed, he has become everybody’s KABAYAN.

BUT THE SIXTY MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION IS: IS NOLI DE CASTRO FOR REAL?

To the hordes of uninformed and unsuspecting radio listeners and television viewers, BE WARNED!!!

The "MR. CLEAN" NOLI DE CASTRO you have been admiring for his fearless commentaries and exposes against graft and corruption IS A FAKE!!! IN REALITY, his name is synonymous to NOLI DE "CASH"TRO and he is derisively called "KA BAYAD" by those who have fallen prey to his black-mailing tactics in the guise of public service. The hard-hitting commentaries, the fearless exposes and all the other noise and chest-beating by De Castro purportedly against graft and corruption are all in fact mere CHARADES….. SCRIPTED DRAMAS….. and PALABAS…. with the end view of harassing and shaking down their targets to come across with the amount demanded OR ELSE the "fearless commentaries and stinging criticisms" will not stop. Even MGB, the highly-acclaimed weekly news magazine TV program, has been derided as MAGANDANG GABI, BAYAD!

NOLI DE CASTRO, THE DEFENDER OF THE POOR AND THE OPPRESSED, IS AGAIN A FAKE!!! IN REALITY, his "crusades" for the poor are just fronts of the whole money-making venture he is engaged in through what is known in the media as AC-DC. In the guise of taking the cause of the poor and the oppressed, De Castro then "Attacks or Defends" his targets – be they government officials, police officers, contractors, vice lords, gambling lords and individuals. In either case, De Castro collects piles of money from his preys.

AS HOPE OF THE EXPLOITED AND THE HELPLESS, AGAIN NOLI DE CASTRO IS NOT. For what can be expected from a man who is judged by his peers and colleagues in the industry to be the MOST CORRUPT broadcaster alive. This is most obvious in the area of PR and Crisis Management work where De Castro has no qualms using MGB, TV PATROL and his KABAYAN radio program over DZMM to shakedown and harass targeted government officials and private individuals to further enrich himself.

But what puzzles most of the people in and out of media, is how come the top management of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation has chosen to look the other way amidst many reports from A-1 sources about De Castro’s unethical, even criminal money-making activities? How come the management of ASIA’S MOST ADMIRED NETWORK refused to even just investigate the A-1 reports even for the sake of knowing the truth and the veracity of its sources? How can it continue to claim as its network’s motto "In the Service of the Filipino" when management itself has remained deaf and mute to NOLI DE CASTRO’S corrupt journalistic practices, clearly a disservice to the Filipino people? YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS ANYBODY.

NOLI DE CASTRO’S CHOP-CHOP DAYS AND OTHER EARLY CORRUPT ACTIVITIES

In 1987, De Castro, an upstart broadcaster at that time, was tagged as one of those directly involved or giving protection to smugglers in the Bureau of Customs who were bringing in Completely Knocked Down (CKD) but highly-dutiable luxury vehicles in what is now the infamous Chop-Chop Controversy. In exchange for lending his supposedly untouchable and feared name, NOLI DE CASTRO was gifted with an L-300 Van by the smuggling syndicate. When his involvement was exposed in the media, NOLI DE CASTRO tried to explain himself by claiming that he was just a buyer (of the smuggled luxury utility vehicles). But informed sources in the Customs confirmed that NOLI DE CASTRO was indeed involved (either directly or indirectly, it was not sure) in the smuggling attempt and that the L-300 Van was a payment for the services (whatever it was) he rendered to the syndicate. Fearful that the controversy may cut short his budding broadcasting career at ABS-CBN, and to avoid further public ridicule, NOLI BOY sold the Van and used the proceeds (still the fruit from an illegal activity) to buy a red Nissan Pathfinder.

Also, at the time when NOLI DE CASTRO was still making a name for himself in the broadcast industry, San Pablo City (Laguna) Mayor Vic Amante, Southern Tagalog Jeepney magnate and one of the region’s biggest illegal logging and quarrying operators, BRIBED KABAYAN NOLI with several hectares of prime agricultural land. In exchange, NOLI "MR. CLEAN" DE CASTRO must, in the first several days upon his acceptance of the "gift," get and air the side of Mayor Amante when KABAYAN’S topic concerns the illegal logging and quarrying activities in the Southern Tagalog region. The Mayor hoped that his explanations on air will help put the issue to rest. As part of the whole deal, when the issue had quieted down, KABAYAN NOLI must refrain from ever exposing and criticizing Mayor Amante’s illegal activities. Even CPP’s Ka Roger and the late Ka Hector Mabilangan know about this whole rotten deal. Six months later, MR. CLEAN sold Mayor Amante’s "gift" to a buyer.

BLACKMAIL is another favorite tactic employed by NOLI DE CASTRO to get his share of the pie from government contracts. One of his victims was the venerable FF Cruz whose construction firm was awarded to build the KAMUNING Fly-Over. During its construction, MR. CLEAN NOLI DE CASTRO mounted daily attacks on his radio program against FF Cruz for its alleged defective construction of the fly-over. NOLI BOY pointed to alleged unsound structural design and poor construction methods. But while NOLI BOY was waging his public battle on air against FF Cruz’s alleged failure to comply to sound engineering standards, NOLI "MR. CLEAN" DE CASTRO had privately sent emissaries from the staff of MGB to FF Cruz. NOLI was demanding P500,000.00 from the firm in exchange for his silence. The issue was "settled" for a lesser amount. Let us not be surprised then, why MR. DE CASTRO THE CRUSADER would not touch any issue concerning fly-overs especially those constructed by FF Cruz.

Before he made a name for himself, when he was still the private valet and butler of ROD NAVARRO, MR. DE CASTRO used to live in a modest house in Lagro, Quezon City, now occupied by his sister and brother-in-law. Only months after he came to ABS-CBN, MR. DE CASTRO was able to acquire a twin townhouse in ROMAROSA TOWNHOMES. Then, with bank accounts bulging with money from his illegal connections in Southern Tagalog, particularly from his patron Mayor Amante, NOLI THE DEFENDER OF THE POOR, was able to acquire a new multi-million peso house in Tierra Pura bought from a retired military general who was also a friend of Mayor Amante. This general was Amante’s protector in the latter’s illegal logging and quarrying operations in Laguna and Quezon provinces. Again, MR. CLEAN NOLI DE CASTRO got the house at a bargain price with the help of Mayor Amante. The deal? NOLI BOY’S continued silence concerning the Mayor’s illegal activities in the Southern Tagalog and the Bicol region. And how about the large FARM property he’s got in San Jose Del Monte in Bulacan? What rotten deal (through bribery or blackmail perhaps) did he get into this time?

"MR. CLEAN" DE "CASH"TRO’S CORRUPT PRACTICES CONTINUE


Noli de Castro
ABS-CBN's highest paid anchorman.

SEGMENT FOR SALE….. INTERVIEW FOR A PRICE….. GRACE MAGUAN, the sister of ELDON, ROLITO GO’S murder victim, was asked to pay P200,000.00 so that she will be interviewed on MGB and ASSIGNMENT. This was the time when GO was in hiding and media was losing interest in ELDON’S case. MS. MAGUAN intimated this "interview cost" to LOREN LEGARDA when she sought her for an INSIDE STORY interview. LOREN could only drop her jaw in disbelief.

Big real estate companies like FIL-INVEST and FIL-ESTATE have also BRIBED "MR. CLEAN" DE CASTRO with "choice properties" at give-away prices in exchange for MR. DE CASTRO’S silence concerning the real estate giants’ controversial projects such as the FIL-INVEST QUARRYING in San Mateo, Rizal, and FIL-ESTATE’S very controversial Blue Waters and Fairways project in Boracay Island in Panay and another golf course project in Nasugbu, Batangas.

When you believe that MR. DE CASTRO IS THE DEFENDER OF THE POOR AND THE OPPRESSED, THEN YOU ARE DEAD WRONG!!! He exploits them to suit his personal agenda. Complainants against big companies are A-1 materials. When they come to him for redress, MR. DE CASTRO uses them as leverage to force subject companies to settle to his personal demands such as FRANCHISES at give-away prices. That is why MR. DE CASTRO loses no opportunity to hit hard at JOLLIBEE and MACDONALDS – and this is no secret among the directors and officers of the two hamburger giants – so that he can have a franchise from these two at give-away prices.

Another case involves a buyer of a condominium unit in Makati who complained to MR. DE CASTRO about the substandard materials that were being used by the property owner/developer in constructing the said condominium. After only a few short airtime on his radio program, MR. DE CASTRO lost interest in pursuing the complaints against the developer. It was learned that NOLI BOY accepted a "GIFT" of one condominium unit located in another part of town given by the subject owner/developer.

Another seemingly untouchable firm is the ASIAN ALCOHOL FERMENTATION PLANT in Pampanga. It was the subject of numerous DENR closure orders for polluting the Apalit River and blatantly violating environmental laws. And the daily barrage of reports on radio DZMM and TV PATROL and the in-depth reports on MGB and ASSIGNMENT could have helped closed the polluting alcohol plant permanently. But very suddenly, the reports stopped and MR. DE CASTRO was once again abruptly silent on the issue, the very same issue he was so hot about the previous days. Informed sources however, said there were millions of reasons why MR. DE CASTRO was suddenly mum on the issue.


Mon Tulfo
Columnist of Philippine Daily Inquirer.

And how hot was NOLI BOY on the issue involving the proposed sale to the EVER GOTESCO group of a prime government lot by the Kalookan City government for a measly P10,000.00 per square meter? HE IS VERY HOT!!! And MR. DE CASTRO loses no opportunity to hit hard against EVER GOTESCO and the ORIENT BANK because the EVER GOTESCO group did not agree to his demand of tens of millions of pesos in exchange for his silence on the issue. What the EVER GOTESCO group has offered to MR. CLEAN for him to stop his attacks on the proposed sale during a meeting at Melo’s Restaurant in front of ABS-CBN was only less than P10-M, which NOLI BOY found too small and unacceptable. The said meeting was also attended by Inquirer columnist RAMON TULFO.

Further, MR. DE CASTRO has cashed in on the following cases by killing these stories:

- Biñan Mayor Alonte Rape Case

- The Acquittal of San Ildefonso Mayor Galvez in the Vinculado Murder Case.

- Bong Pineda’s jueteng operations in Mindoro and Southern Tagalog Region

- Marcopper Waste Spill

- Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA)

- All Complaints against San Jose Builders Inc., Controversial Builder of the San

- Andres Tenement Houses along the South Super HighWay in Manila.



And how cold is NOLI BOY on the many issues against LUCIO TAN? COLD. Indeed, NOLI BOY IS DEAD COLD. He hasn’t even tried even to direct small pot shots against the taipan who is accused of evading payment of taxes to the tune of P 25-B. Even the highly-irregular deal between LUCIO TAN’S Philippine Airlines and the government in the NAIA Terminal II, had received nary a comment from DZMM’s fearless commentator.

THE REASONS: Material and financial favors were granted to MR. CLEAN NOLI DE CASTRO by MR. TAN through one of his minions, a certain MR. BACSAL. A new KIA PREGIO was said to have been "acquired" by MR. DE CASTRO at almost the same time that he met with MR. BACSAL. Informed sources from BACSAL’S group also said his sizeable FARM in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, was formerly owned not too long ago, by no less than their KAPITAN. Residents around the FARM also confirmed this that indeed LUCIO TAN, THE TAIPAN was the immediate past owner of the property which is now titled in the name of NOLI AND ARLENE DE CASTRO!!!

Alam ko meron ding nagbigay sa kanya ng bahay sa Tagaytay para wag nya lang expose yung illegal logging ni AMANTE.
This comes from a true reliable source.

ayaw kasi bumili ng share..
tinira na lang nya para maka-"libre"..

[Peng23]

this is very true, yung isang kapitbahay namin supervisor sa ABS. Madalas daw yan magbayad lalo na sa mga politician na tinitira nya dati nung kasikatan ng MGB. No wonder ang pangit na ng mga pinapalabas ngayun sa MGB, di tulad dati, ang dami nila kalaban. Ngayun may mapalabas na lang, ok na.

[mantoy]
