[Autobeat]

A good read for those somehow still enticed by his commercials, to vote for him.

Here is what this guy has been doing while he was in office, clearly conflict of interest, corruption.

Pray that he doesn't become our next president, or even that he never gets another government position ever again.

[claRkEnt]

the numerous tv ads alone is a big turn-off already.

FAILON should also have added the San Pedro Exit in SLEX
- why is there an EXIT in San Pedro, Laguna; an exit without NO ENTRY point in SLEX? is it because for easier access of his villages like the Camella, Park Springs, Portofino, etc.?

WHILE the Senate is declaring a moratorium on the discussion of the ethics case against Sen. Manny Villar, here are some incontrovertible facts, presented in Q & A form. The source of the information is also given.

Question: What roadway projects are the subject matter of the Villar ethics controversy?

Answer: 1. The Manila Cavite Toll Expressway Project (MCTEP), the original C-5 south extension project, linking SLEX with the Coastal Road; 2. the DPWH C-5 Extension project (CX-5), which together with 3. the Las Piñas-Parañaque Link Project (LPPLP), also links SLEX with the Coastal Road. Source: Senate Report (SR) 780.

Q: Is the CX-5/LPPLP project a realignment, as Sen. Jamby Madrigal describes it, or has there been no realignment, as Senator Villar’s allies insist?

A: Technically there has been no realignment, because these are two separate roads linking C-5 from SLEX to the Coastal Road. But they are very close together and, in some areas, overlap, as can be ascertained from a site map. Source: interactive map available at www.gmanews.tv

Q: Are there any differences between the MCTEP and the CX-5/LPPLP?

A: Yes. 1. The MCTEP is a joint-venture project between the government and a private Malaysian partner, with the government’s financial exposure limited to P2.68 billion for the purchase of the road right-of-way; the private partner is responsible for the construction of the project, for which tolls will be charged. The CX-5/LPPLP is a toll-free, wholly-financed government project costing P6.96 billion; 2. The CX-5/LPPLP is longer than the MCTEP, its extra length essentially covering the LPPLP portion; 3. The CX-5/LPPLP passes through more Villar properties than the MCTEP. Source: DPWH project documents cited as Exhibits A, B and TTTT in SR 780; site map from www.gmanews.tv.

Q: How large are the Villar company landholdings in the immediate vicinity of the questioned road projects?

A: At least 50-52 hectares: 40 hectares in the vicinity of the LPPLP; 10-12 hectares in the area between Sucat Road and Multinational Avenue. Source: testimony of Anastacio Adriano Jr., senior vice president and general manager, chief operating officer of Adelfa Properties Inc. and other Villar-owned companies up to 2008; self-styled consultant and political officer of Senator Villar since August 2008. Nota bene: Senate employment records do not include his name. Nota bene: it is not clear whether the 50-52 hectares mentioned above include properties cited in SR 780—roughly 10 hectares in area—to be developed by Villar companies in joint venture with their owners.

Q: What is the involvement of Villar in CX-5 and LPPLP?

A: 1. The Project Feasibility Study of the DPWH for CX-5 states: “The conceptualization of and the initial release of funds for the CX-5 Project was initiated by Sen. Manuel Villar whose same efforts also paved the way for the funding of the Las Piñas-Parañaque Link Road [LPPLP]”; 2. Various insertions and amendments (Priority Development Assistance Fund, read pork barrel) in the national government budget over the years 2002-2008 for CX-5 and LPPLP; 3. Adriano (cited above), in the office of and presence of Villar, dictating to the director general of the Senate’s Legislative Budget Research and Monitoring Office (LBRMO) Villar’s proposed amendments to the 2008 budget, including a P400-million appropriation for the CX-5. Source: documents submitted by DPWH, lawyer Yolanda Doblon of the LBRMO, testimony of both Doblon and Adriano, cited in SR 780.

Q: Were the Villar properties bought for road right-of-way overpriced?

A: SR 780 argues for the affirmative; PSR 1472 (the resolution signed by Villar and his allies exonerating him from all charges) argues for the negative. This calls for a conclusion of the reader. And to help that along, I have—based on the documented prices and acreage of the lands purchased in connection with the LPPLP—computed the weighted average prices that were paid for the Villar and related properties, and those paid for the non-Villar properties. The results: The Villar/related properties, comprising 23,455 square meters, were bought for P168.1 million. The non-Villar properties, comprising 11,685 square meters, were bought for P22 million. That comes to a weighted average of P7,168 per square meter for Villar’s properties, and P1,880 per square meter for the non-Villar properties. That has to be a statistically significant difference.

Given the above facts—which no one can contest, since they are based on official documents, and not on a he-says-she-says set of assertions—it has to be reasonable to conclude:

1. Since there was already an ongoing project (the MCTEP) linking C-5 to the Coastal Road, it was totally unnecessary to build a second one.

2. Which means that there was a waste of scarce resources. Instead of using only P2.6 billion of government funds for the first project, the government had to spend an additional P6.9 billion for the second, which practically duplicated the first, except for the additional length which happily for Senator Villar, traversed his properties.

3. This unnecessary, wasteful project was certainly Villar’s idea. It is specious to argue that it is a DPWH project. As the DPWH feasibility study states (in black and white), both the CX-5 and the LPPLP were conceived and initially funded by Villar.

4. Villar benefited tremendously from the second project. Certainly, his companies were paid significantly more per square meter for the road right of way (which were mostly bought from him). But that pales into insignificance compared with the tremendous increase in the values of his real estate holdings in the area—at least 50-52 hectares.

Is he blameless? Is the Pope protestant?

if he really have not benefited from the Project; nor his family have not benefited from it or let's say he is NOT GUILTY; then why does Sen. Villar tries to AVOID on meeting, appointment and especially on Confrontations to clarify these C-5 Project? Then he's running for a higher post and these is how he practice while he is still in Senate, hhhmmmm.... this is what we should think on, am I still to VOTE him on a higher post of Politics? think about it...

This input was from an editorial by Lito Banayo, ABANTE Tonite:

Manny Villar was never poor.

His mother was a market vendor in Divisoria while his father was a government employee. Right after the 2nd World War, government employment was one of the most sought after job due to high salaries during that period.

They NEVER attended public schools. They were educated in private institutions. And they NEVER commuted when going to school. Hatid-sundo sila ng "stainless" jeep nila. Having a stainless transport during those times was considered a prestige.

In 1987, Manny Villar was already a multi-millionaire! In his SALN, as a senator, he declared a networth of 1.24 Billion pesos. While the Forbes Magazine said that he has 24 Billion pesos, making him the 6th richest Filipino in the country.

Then why lie? Isn't he proud of his parent's achievements?

Siguro pwede nating sariwain yung sinabi ni Susan Roces: "ANG SINUNGALING AY KAKAMBAL NG MAGNANAKAW."

TOTOONG ang isda ay sa bibig nahuhuli. Ganito ang nangyari kay Manny Villar.

Inamin ni Villar, kandidatong Pangulo na hindi na nila kailangang magbayad ng “revolutionary tax” o “permit to campaign” dahil kasama na niya ang mga komunistang National Democratic Front at ang kanilang military arm na New People’s Army.

“Bakit ako magbabayad sa kanila (NPA) samantalang kasama ko na sila. Sila ay aking mga kaibigan,” ani Villar sa media.

Dahil sa kaibigan at kakampi ni Villar ang mga NPA, ang pangunahing layunin ay ibagsak ang lehetimong gob-yerno natin, ibig sabihin ay traidor si Villar sa ating gob-yerno. Isang AFP report ang tumutukoy na si Villar ang kandidatong Pangulo na sususportahan ng mga NPA. Mayroon daw silang nakuhang leaflets kung saan ay nakasaad na si Villar ang dapat tulungan ng mga tao.

Ilan tuloy sa tanong ng taumbayan?

Anong klaseng tao si Villar, nag-aambisyong maging Pangulo ang nasikmurang magtraidor sa ating gobyerno? Dapat bang iboto ang isang kandidato na gagawin ang lahat, pati na ang pakikiisa sa mga kaaway ng gob-yerno, manalo lang sa elek-syon?

Hindi ba ang pakikipagkasundo ni Villar sa mga NPA ay tanda na kinikilala niya ang gobyerno ng mga komunistang rebelde?

Kahit itinanggi ni Villar ang kanyang pakikipag-al-yansa sa mga NPA, matibay ang paniniwala ng militar sa kanyang relasyon sa kanila batay sa mga dokumentong kanilang nakuha.

Kaya, mag-isip-isip tayo. Kung kaya ni Villar ang ma-kipag-“sweetheart deal” sa mga NPA, hindi kaya puwede rin niyang baluktutin ang katotohanan magtagumpay lamang siya sa kanyang matinding obsesyon na manirahan sa Malacañang?

Bago sana kumandidato si Villar, hindi ba dapat ay nilinis muna niya ang kanyang pangalan sa kaliwa’t kanang land grabbing cases na isinampa laban sa kanya ng mga taong inagawan niya ng lupa sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng bansa?
