Baby Asistio talo uli sa RTC
MULI na namang nakatikim
ng kabiguan si Luis “Baby”
Asistio matapos maglabas ng
kautusan ang Caloocan City
Regional Trial Court (RTC) na
nagdidismis sa apela nito
hinggil sa disqualification case
na inihain ni Mayor Enrico
“Recom” Echiverri.
Noong Lunes ay naglabas
ng kautusan ang RTC Branch
129 na nagdidismis sa apela
ni Asistio dahil sa hindi
pagbabayad ng kampo nito ng
kaukulang docket fee na
umaabot lamang sa halagang
P1,510.00.
Dahil dito, nawalan na ng
karapatan si Asistio na
kumandidato sa anumang
posisyon ngayong darating na
May, 2010 election.
Matatandaan na unang
naglabas ng desisyon ang
Caloocan City Metropolitan
Trial Court (MTC) na nagsasabi
hindi tunay na residente ng
nasabing lungsod si Asistio
matapos madiskubre na hindi
ito nakatira sa inilagay na ad-
dress sa Certificate of Candidacy
(COC) na inihain nito sa Com-
mission on Election (Comelec)
noong November 30, 2009.
Matapos ito, naghain
naman na apela sa RTC si
Wooing the voting public
THE maximum campaign
expenditure for a presidential
candidate, based on the law on
campaign spending, is limited
to only P500 million, or P10 per
voter.
Some candidates can ma-
nipulate this expenditure ceil-
ing by reasoning out that they
got discounts and all, but one
of the country’s presidential
candidate already reached P2
billion for advertisements
alone prior to the campaign
season. Is that insane or what?
The Philippine Center for
Investigative Journalism said
if only the law on campaign
spending and political adver-
tising were imposed before the
official campaign period began
last week, one presidential
candidate would have already
overspent in the past three
months alone.

Asistio ngunit dahil limang
araw lamang ang ibinigay ng
husgado para sa apela nito ay
nabigo ang kampo ni Asistio
na makapag-file sa tamang oras
at makapagbayad ng docket fee
na isinasaad sa ating batas.
Natanggap ni Asistio ang
desisyon ng MTC noong Feb-
ruary 5, 2010 kung saan ay
kailangang maghain ito ng
apela sa RTC hanggang Feb-
ruary 10, 2010 ngunit nakapag-
file lamang si Asistio ng
kanyang apela dakong 5:30 na
ng hapon ng February 10,
2010.
Bukod pa dito, ang bayad
sa docket fee ay pinadaan ni
Asistio sa money order kaya’t
nakarating ito sa husgado
dakong 8:44 ng umaga noong
February 11, 2010.
Malinaw na ang kampo ni
Asistio ang nagkamali kaya’t
naglabas ng kautusan ang
RTC na nagdidismis sa

Liberal Party (LP) presiden-

down south to woo

Aquino laid out a four-

inihain nitong apela.
Sa hindi nakakaalam, ang
pagkakadiskubre sa maling
address ni Asisito ay nang
maghain ito ng disqualifica-
tion case laban kay Echiverri
ngunit matapos ang ginawang
pagdinig napatunayan na
walang merito ang inihain
nitong reklamo kaya’t
naglabas ng desisyon ang First
Division ng Comelec na
nagdidismis dito.
Matapos namang malaman
ni Echiverri na hindi na
nakatira si Asisito sa inilagay
nitong address ay ito naman
ang nagdemanda sa MTC na
pinaboran naman ng korte
dahil napatunayan na hindi
na talaga ito naninirahan sa
Caloocan City.
Walang ibang dapat sisihin
sa nangyaring ito kay Asistio
kundi ang kanyang kampo
dahil kung hindi sila
naghanap ng butas sa
kanyang katunggali ay hindi
madidiskubre na hindi na ito
naninirahan sa nasabing
lungsod.

Aquino, together with run-

III visited Esperanza, a town
near the municipality of
Ampatuan in Maguindanao
where 57 journalists and sev-
eral civilians were massacred
last year.
The group also held a stu-
dents’ forum and multi-sectoral
dialogue.
The LP delegation paid a
courtesy call on Sultan
Kudarat Governor Suharto
Mangudadatu, cousin of
Buluan Vice-Mayor Esmael

Aquino also called in Com-
mission on Elections to an-
nounce whether forthcoming
polls will be reverted to manual
counting in the wake of loom-
ing power failure in various
parts of the country and the
proposed withdrawal of tele-

earlier tapped to transmit poll

Mga showbiz friends
KAMI sa QC, di maiwasan na marami kaming showbiz
friends. City of Stars kasi kami dahil nasa QC kasi halos
lahat ng TV networks sa Pilipinas at ibang mga movie out-
fits. Ako bilang Majority Floor Leader ng QC Council,
tinatanaw kong malaking tulong sa ekonomiya ng QC ang
pagiging City of Stars ng
lungsod.
Bilang ganti, marami
akong naging mga showbiz-
friendly ordinances na
isinulong gaya ng 0% amuse-
ment tax para sa lahat ng lo-
cal films. Tulong ko na rin sa
ating local movie industry
para ma-enganyo pa silang gumawa ng maraming pelikulang
Pilipino.
Marami ding mga dati at kasalukuyang mga showbiz
personalities ang ngayon ay nagsisilbi bilang mga public
servants sa QC.
Sa sistema ng pulitika sa ating bansa, mahalaga ang name-
recall. Kaya nga mas maraming boto ang pwedeng makuha
ng mga pamilya o kamag-anak ng mga dati nang pulitiko sa
bisa lang ng name-recall.
Minsan, kung hindi masyadong sikat ang pangalan mo,
malaking bagay na i-endorso ka ng isang sikat na tao, gaya
na nga ng mga artista o mga showbiz personalities. Pero
unang hakbang lang ito dapat sa pagpili ng mga lider na
iboboto. P
agkatapos na sumikat ka dahil ikinabit mo ang pangalan
mo sa isang sikat na tao, ang susunod ay ang pagsusuri na
ng botante kung sino ka nga ba bilang kandidato at bilang
tao. Kung ano ang kakayahan mo, at ano ang maari mong
maitulong sa mamamayan kung ikaw ay ihahalal.
Para sa akin, malaking tulong ang ma-endorso ng isang
artista o ng isang sikat na personalidad pero ang
kwalipikasyon pa rin, base sa track record at kalinisan ng
pagkatao ng isang kandidato ang dapat maging basehan ng
mga botante sa kanilang pagboto.
Kung halimbawa, inendorso ang isang kandidato ng isang
sikat na kandidato rin pero alam ng marami na hindi karapat-
dapat ang kandidatong inendorso dahil sa mga kaso sa kanya
ng katiwalian, o may mga napatunayang kwento ng
panlalamang o kawalang-silbi niya bilang isang public ser-
vant, eh bakit naman iboboto pa.
Simple lang naman ang prinsipyo ng usaping ito. Pinasikat
ka nga ng isang artista, pero ikaw pa rin ang titimbangin
pagdating ng halalan dahil ikaw ang magsisilbi sa bayan at
hindi ang nag endorse sayo.
Makakatulong ang endorsement ng isang artista para
malaman ng publiko na tumatakbo ka para sa isang posisyon
sa pamahalaan pero hindi ang artista o ang sikat na tao na
nag-endorso sayo ang dapat pagbasehan ng isang botante
sa pagboto, ikaw pa rin. Sabi nga sa ingles, “it’s still your
neck!”
Kung ang isang kandidato ay inendorso ni Dolphy, o ni
Willie, o ni Boy, o ni Judy Ann, o ni Sarah, o kahit ni Kris,
hindi ibig sabihin na ang mga nagawa ng mga sikat na taong
ito, o ang naging kontribusyon nila sa sambayanan ay maki-
credit sa taong inendorso nila. Para sa taong bayan hindi
ang nag-endorso ang dapat tingnan kundi ang ini-endorsong
kandidato.
Matalino naman ang karamihan ng botanteng Pinoy at
pagdating ng eleksyon ang kanilang pasya ang huhubog sa
kinabukasan ng bayan at hindi ang endorsements ng aming
mga showbiz friends.
Mag-text po kayo sa akin tungkol sa usaping ito. O kaya
ay sulatan nyo ako sa 2 nd Floor, Council building, Quezon
City Hall o email sa: ariel.inton@gmail.com. Pwede rin ang

COMELEC JUNKS
GOMA CANDIDACY
THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has disqualified
actor Richard Gomez from running for a Congressional seat
in the 4th district of Ormoc City.
The Comelec First Division, in
an eight-page resolution, granted
the petition of Buenaventura
Juntilla who asked to disallow
Gomez to run for a seat in the
House of Representatives for lack
of residency requirements.
The First Division also said the
actor failed to prove that he al-
ready abandoned his Manila resi-
dence despite being a registered
voter in Ormoc City.
“In an instant case, the re-
spondent has not presented suf-
ficient proof that would establish
his ties to Ormoc City. The ab-
sence of such ties indicates his
lack of intention to stay perma-

Trillanes, former Scout Ranger
regiment commander Brigadier
General Danilo Lim and 16 other
members of the Magdalo, all
charged with rebellion in connec-
tion with the 2007 Manile Pen-
insula Hotel siege, were granted
temporary liberty by the Makati
Regional Trial Court.
In a 16-page order, Judge Elmo
Alameda, of Makati RTC Branch
150, allowed Trillanes, Lim and
16 junior officers to be released
from detention while their case
for rebellion is being heard.
The court set a P200,000 bail
for each of the accused though

cisco Jr., who said they will ask
the court to lower the amount.
Allowed to post bail were Navy

the resolution.
The decision further disclosed
that Gomez and his wife, Lucy
Torres-Gomez, continue to prac-
tice their profession in Manila;
that he is still doing business in
Manila and that he and his fam-
ily continue to stay in their house
in Colgate St., East Greenhills in
San Juan City.
Last December, Juntilla, a
former barangay chairman in
Ormoc, questioned the residency
of Gomez in Ormoc.

checkpoints review
NORTHERN Police District (NPD) di-
rector Chief Superintendent Samuel D
Pagdilao, Jr. has directed all police com-
manders in Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas
and Malabon (CAMANAVA) area to re-
view their checkpoints operations and
intensify police patrols after observing that
firearms related crimes remain prevalent
despite the gun ban.
Pagdilao particularly took note of the
recent shooting incidents in Malabon City
last weekend which resulted to the death
of Noel Ortega, 54, a barangay official.
Pagdilao also ordered his command-
ers to solve firearms related crimes.
Pagdilao, in his memorandum issued
to the chiefs-of-police of Camanava, also
ordered a review of the locations where
PNP/COMELEC checkpoints were placed
and add more checkpoints if necessary to
preempt the resurgence of crime related to
the use of firearms. Albert Nasser
BAGUMBAYAN Party presidential
bet Dick Gordon stated that once elected,
he will prioritize to address the alarm-
ing hunger problem in the country.
Gordon’s remarks were issued at
the Philippine Chamber of Commerce
and Industry (PCCI) Presidential Fo-
rum in Pasay City yesterday.
Gordon authored the Food Dona-
tion Act of 2009, which was signed into
law on November 25, 2009 (Republic
Act No. 9803), and addresses the pov-
DFA implements quick, hi-tech ePassport services in new building
FOREIGN Affairs Secretary Alberto
G. Romulo said the realization of a
dream came into fruition with the
implementation of the ePassport and
the turnover of the new Department
of Foreign Affairs consular building.
“It is part of our dream for the Fili-
pino people to have a world-class
passport and consular services. We
have done it through the Machine
Readable Passport (MRP) and the
ePassport, and now the dream is com-
plete with the new DFA-Office of Con-
erty issue in the country and brings
back dignity to the poor through en-
couraging wholesome food donations
to those in need. According to the
National Statistics Coordination Board
(NSCB), 16 million Filipinos live be-
low the food or subsistence threshold.
“Because of greedy politicians, our
children go to bed hungry while their
parents spend sleepless nights won-
dering where their next meal will come
from. While the corrupt grow rich,
sular Affairs (DFA-OCA) building,”
Romulo said during the turnover cer-
emonies yesterday morning.
According to the Foreign Secretary,
before, Filipinos had to bear the em-
barrassment and humiliation of being
shunted aside in immigration queues
and questioned lengthily on the ve-
racity of their identities and their pass-
ports, which caused many delays for
the Filipino travelers.
”In this intelligent building, in-
stead of sweltering heat, our consu-
our children grow hungry,” said Dick
Gordon. “Passing the Food Dona-
tion Act is a stopgap measure to al-
leviate the food insecurity too many
Filipinos experience.
Ending the corruption that takes
the food out of people’s mouths, cre-
ating family-wage jobs, and strength-
ening our agriculture industry will
provide the more permanent solution
to ensuring that every child eats ad-
equately.”

stead of going from building to build-

Tutuban Mall eyes makeover for Tondo streetchilden
THE fastest-growing shopping hub
in downtown Manila, Tutuban Mall,
will celebrate its 21st anniversary dif-
ferently. This time, it will give back
something to the community it has long
considered as its home via a special
project for the street children of
Tondo—a complete hygiene makeover.
On February 21, 2010, around 100
street children from the different
baranggays within the immediate
perimeter of the mall will get a free
makeover courtesy of some of the
mall’s kind-hearted tenants, who have
all volunteered to support this noble
yet unique corporate social responsi-
bility (CSR) effort by the mall’s man-
agement.
Dubbed “Paliguan ang Batang
Bayan sa Tutuban,” the project,
which will start from 9 a.m. up to 12
noon and will be held at Tutuban
Mall’s Food Street section, is
deemed as a fitting follow-up to its
successful feeding program for street
children held last December 18,
2009. This time, however, the street
children will be bathed, dressed up,
and then treated to a sumptuous
meal afterwards.
As soon as the kids are bathed and
dressed up in clothes provided by
Bench, Napoleon and Encarnacion/
Cut Salon, they will then proceed to
the salon of popular beauty stylist Jesi
Mendez where they will be given a
haircut. This will be followed by a
hearty and delicious meal brought to
the mall’s Food Street area courtesy
of Jollibee. But that’s not all. Before
going home, the kids will have a chance
to exchange gift stubs given to them
earlier in the day where they can get
exciting gift packs courtesy of Pherica
Toys, Andeng’s Toys and Flowers Inc.,
and Get Laud.
“For this year ’s anniversary, we
wanted something different yet should
have the same impact of our past
projects, especially for children, who
are closest to Tutuban Mall’s hearts.
We believe that, considering the ar-
eas where these children came from
and the kind of socio-economic con-
ditions their families are in, personal
hygiene would surely be a least pri-
ority. I’m sure this would be some-
thing they’d look forward to, and I’m
sure they’d go home smiling since
they will look clean, nice—and even
smell better—in front of their parents
and loved ones,” explains Bernardo
Espiritu, General Manager of Tutuban
Mall.
Tutuban Mall’s “Paliguan ang
Batang Bayan sa Tutuban” is sup-
ported by Jollibee, Jesi Mendez Sa-
lon, Encarnacion/Cut Salon, Bench,
Napoleon, Pherica Toys, Andeng’s
Toys and Flowers Inc., and Get Laud.
Tutuban Mall is located along his-
toric C. M. Recto Avenue at the Phil-
ippine National Railways com-
pound in downtown Manila. Both
an icon and a landmark in the famed
Divisoria shopping district, the mall
attracts some 200,000 customers
daily. It has seven interconnected
buildings with more or less 2,000
tenants, while its year-round, all-
season Tutuban Night Market,
which continues to pack crowds
because of its various offerings of
affordable yet quality goods from
garments and home furnishings to
food, has become THE shopping area
of choice for most Manilans and even
shoppers from other areas of Metro
Manila.
Aside from its competitive prices,
Tutuban Mall has become a favorite
shopping destination for it has ad-
equate parking and ample lighting
and security that will truly delight
shoppers. Its wide shopping lanes
provide convenient and hassle-free
shopping and of course, its quality
and wallet-friendly items ensure
value for one’s hard-earned money.
