Controversial Photos amidst ONDOY

MICKEY ARROYO BUYING LIQUOR THE DAY AFTER ONDOY

This picture I got from the facebook album of Kaila Dionisio, the quote from the picture was>>>
Saw this post from my brother's friend, so frustrating! She says: "Was buying food for keeps... then we saw Mikey Arroyo in Rustans Liquor Section asking the salesman for a brand of hard alcoholic drink. Effin Crazy! Just a few kilometers away from Katipunan, people are needing help for search and rescue, and there he was buying bottles of alcohol"

Hi, I reposted the Mikey picture after picking it up from another network…hours later, I got this message from a certain Andrew Lacsamana:

—————–
Hi! Just concerned… I hope you don’t mind. The posted photo of Mikey Arroyo is a hoax. I hope we could let everyone know that this is a hoax. The owner of the photo already sent a shoutout that this is was taken a long time ago. Let’s hope this doesn’t get blown out of proportion. This is the last thing the country needs right now. I hope we could just concentrate on helping each other out after this calamity.

Thanks

You seem to know the owner of the FB account which was the apparent source of the photo…Perhaps you can confirm or deny what this Mr. Lacsamana is saying…my other friends who reposted the picture on FB also received the same message from Mr. Lacsamana…

Best,

Romel

I can’t believe they are already threatening her. Maybe Mikey is drinking because he can’t come back to his million dollar house in the US. He broke US laws regarding mortgage fraud, money laundering and Section 312 of the USA Patriot Act that deals with Senior Foreign Political Figures and ill-gotten wealth. He put $264K down on the house and obtained a 1st mortgage of $858K and a 2nd Mortgage for $198K. This means he claimed an income of at least $300K US to qualify for the mortgage. (he makes 40,000 Pesos a month as salary) That’s fraud. He paid the mortgage in 20 months as a Deed of Reconveyance was issued to Angela Arroyo Montenegro from IndyMac Bank on 4/15/2008, meaning they paid off the mortgages. By paying off $1,056,000 in mortgages in 20 months, they skirted the safeguards in place to monitor bank accounts. Once the house is sold, the money is now “clean” and Angela Montenegro can deposit the title company check and say she is a real estate investor and no one would know she is the daughter-in-law of the President of the Philippines. I have supplied this evidence to FBI, who can pull the original mortgage application and sniff out their other properties here. I hear there is a house in Fremont CA that Rufa Mae Quinto has boasted that Mikey bought for her as well. Now she is boasting publicly of a new house in SF, by some “mystery” man. It is well-known in showbiz circles there that she’s his kabit.

I also saw this picture. Some friends and I are currently debating about this one. If the link or account was suspended, there are two main reasons. First, the user (owner) was the one who deleted it. Second is that Facebook was the one who did it. Which means there was possible copyright violation. If there was such a violation, could it mean then that it is really him?

Just my two cents.

spread the word~ It’s him! It’s that sly smile that he carries just like his mother.

Explanation re: Ondoy's packed lunch

Sa aming mga kaibigan,
Panalangin ko na lahat kayo ay nasa maayos na kalagayan. May litratong kumakalat sa Facebook at sa mga social networking sites tungkol sa packed lunch na pinamimigay ng ating mabuting kaibigan, Senator Villar. Bilang kaibigan, sana tulungan niyo kami na maipaliwanag sa kanila kung ano ang tunay na nangyari. Nakakalungkot dahil sa oras ng ganitong kahirapan, may mga tao pang nais sumira sa kagandahang loob na ating ginagawa. Nawa'y ilaan na lang natin sa pagtulong ang oras na ginagamit natin kaysa sa pagsira ng kapwa. sana ipost niyo sa mga litratong nakikita niyo ang isa o dalawa sa reply sa baba.

In campaigns, maraming volunteers na sumasali. Pwedeng maglagay ang isang 'hater' para sirain ang taong kung sino man. Madaming supporters si Senator na nagbibigay din ng tulong. So, hindi natin alam kung kanino nanggaling yan.isa ako sa mga nagvolunteer para mag re-pack sa WCC, office ni Senator Villar. Wala kaming nilagay na kahit isang pangalan sa mga packed lunch. It's sad kasi 72 hours ka na nagrerepack at tumutulong sa mga victims, ganito pa yung makikita mo. Meron din mga generous friends and mga nagdonate ng ready to distribute packed lunch, and we did not bother to check them kasi kailangan mabilisan ang galaw, so lagay lahat sa trucks. Meron din namang mga friends na dumretso na agad sa affected areas at tumulong in behalf of the good Senator. Shempre, tumutulong sila, hindi natin alam kung ano ang nakalagay sa mga pinamimigay nila. It's not the time to meddle in politics and magsiraan. Magtulong tulong na lang tayo para sa mga nasalanta. You are more than welcome to give donations and/or join us in helping the Ondoy victims. Let us spread love not hate :)... thanks
