200M Peso C-5 Scandal true or just a mere hoax?

I was just wondering what’s the purpose of Panfilo Lacson’s expose of the 200M C-5 expose. According to the reports those accusations were false, sadly Lacson can’t even show his evidences. Is the 200M Peso C-5 Scandal true or just a mere hoax or just a mere psychological manipulation. We all know that in the Philippines, people usually believe on what they see on the television especially the lower class people. We can’t deny that Panfilo Lacson (famous on his trial by publicity political strategy) can use his psychological warfare experience in manipulating things in the Philippine politics.

On the other hand Jamby Madrigal, backed up Lacson regarding the not-so-real fraud. Hmm, are they just jealous on Manny Villar’s wealth? We all know that Villar is the richest senator in the Philippines. Quote as “The businessman from rags to riches”. Wait, let’s see the statement of assets and liabilities of these senators.

Philippine Senators Statement of Assets and Net Worth - via Inquirer.net

Based on his latest statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN), Villar, the Tondo boy who made good selling low-cost houses, listed his net worth as P921.4 million, up less than 1 percent from the P915.6 million he declared in 2006.

Villar, who ranked No. 24 in Forbes Asia’s 40 richest Filipinos with a $110-million fortune, accounted for 47 percent of the combined net worth of P1.954 billion of all 23 senators.

His latest net worth is nearly three times the P330 million he declared in 2000, his first year as a senator.

Trillanes, the jailed leader of the Magdalo group of junior military officers which launched a coup in 2003, reported a net worth of P2.3 million, placing him last on the list of all 23 millionaire senators.

Among the new senators, only Juan Miguel Zubiri joined the 10 richest senators. Zubiri was ninth with a net worth of P43.3 million.

More than P100 million

Two scions of old-rich families followed Villar — Sen. Maria Ana Consuelo “Jamby” Madrigal with a net worth of P148.9 million (Rumors said she’s behind the illegal logging in Quezon Province) and Sen. Manuel “Mar” Roxas II with P140.3 million.

Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. came in fourth with P107 million.

Villar, Madrigal, Roxas and Revilla are the four senators with a net worth of more than P100 million each.

Rounding out the Top 10 are Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile (P98 million) (What’s this? 98M Gross income for one year? This can not be the net asset no no way man); Sen. Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada (P83 million); Sen. Pia Cayetano (P76.2 million); Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago (P76 million) and Sen. Loren Legarda (P41.4 million).

Modest

Compared to Zubiri, the other neophyte senators have “modest” wealth — Alan Peter Cayetano (P16 million), Benigno Aquino III (P13.3 million) and Francis Joseph Escudero (P7.4 million).

The rest of the senators and their net worth were Edgardo Angara (P41 million), Rodolfo Biazon, (P27.4 million); Panfilo Lacson (P25.8 million) (Yeah, multiply this by 100) and Richard Gordon (P25.6 million).

Francis Pangilinan (P15.4 million), Gregorio Honasan (P12 million) (Hmmm I will not believe this, I heard rumors that he owned hundreds of tamaraw taxis in the Metro Manila), Lito Lapid (P11.6 million) (C’mon, his Ranch alone exceeds 11M, only stupid fools will believe this), Joker Arroyo (P11 million) and Aquilino Pimentel Jr. (P10.3 million).

Anyway, Philippines politics is one of the worst not only in Asia but in the world. Surrounded by greedy bastards who only want is power, fame and money.

The sins of the fathers will be visited upon the children
