Imelda, "my father was not given the opportunity."

Former first lady Imelda Marcos said Monday she will not back down in her fight to reclaim the pieces of property purportedly owned by her family, including the P18-billion “Payanig sa Pasig” land in Ortigas, Pasig City.

The first lady said her family can prove that the Marcoses own the property, which she said was acquired even before her husband, the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos, was elected to the Senate.

Last week, Marcos's son, outgoing Ilocos Norte Gov. Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., filed a claim before the Sandiganbayan for the property.

The property, believed to be ill-gotten, was turned over to the government 21 years ago by businessman Jose Yao Campos, Marcos' godfather.

In his 54-page "Complaint-in-Intervention", Marcos said the Presidential Commission on Good Government made a premature and illegal transfer of the shares of stocks of his father's corporations to the government in 1986, which included the said property.

Marcos filed his intervention in two separate lawsuits filed by Ricardo Silverio in behalf of Anchor Estate Corp (Civil Case No. 0147) and Ortigas and Company (Civil Case No. 0093) against the PCGG over the same property

Election related crimes

Just a few minutes ago, someone texted me about a carjacking incident in Banawe QC. I disregarded it at first then, i checked news websites to see if the news was true. to my surprise, it was already posted in abscbn news online flash report. not just only one incident. but two! the two incidents includes several armed men and a toyota innova as their escape vehicle. In banawe, a Nissan Xtrail was taken while in Visayas ave, a Honda CRV was carjacked.

a few weeks ago, Toyota fortuner was carjackers/carnappers vehicle of choice because there was also news that, its gonna be used for campaigning in the provinces. Why fortuners? its good enough to climb uphills, big enough to pass through anything. i guess since they really need cars fast, they are targeting SUVs like CRV and xtrail because its also good enough for those terrains.

as i said in my post yesterday, its a season for pings. and today, as usual, "nag-dilang anghel nanaman ako. lagi naman ako ganon." it happend.
