AS A LADY CANDIDATE PAYS P300,000 BOUNCING CHECK TO DEPT STORE
Bohol electors warned against
syndicated ‘swindling’ of votes
Boholano electors have been strongly warned of a syndicated province-wide campaign out to “swindle†their votes by deceit, fake and even illegal drug money.
Disturbing reports from different Bohol areas commonly linked certain fraudulent election-related activities to the Bag-ong Bol-anon group led by its gubernatorial bet Carmen Mayor Conchita De lops Reyes.
In Second District towns, impostors gathered the signatures of the supporters of Padayon Bol-anon leader and Liberal Party (LP) provincial standard bearer Gov. Edgar Chatto as basis for their “ïnangayan†at P1,500 each.
The Padayon Bol-anon learned that in Dagohoy, to cite a case, the group who falsely claimed working for Chatto’s reelection and gathered the signatures turned out to be hired by De los Reyes and her mayoralty candidate.
The signatures would be submitted to the national leadership of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) for funding for De los Reyes.
Effectively, UNA leaders in Bohol would deceive their own party in the national level by making the signatures appear to be those of their “captive†supporters when they are in fact not.
The camp of Chatto and Padayon Bol-anon said such has never been the governor’s style throughout his political career and that only the people who are known for deceit and swindling could do it.
In the vote-rich First District town of Tubigon, fake money have started to spread, prompting Mayor William Jao, an LP candidate, to report it to the police.
Razilyn Tecson, a former municipal worker and personal assistant of the Carmen mayor, exposed two weeks ago the use of fake money for De los Reyes’ election in 2010.
Authorities are now investigating the source of the Tubigon fake money, which may have likewise been peddled in other points in the province.
Tecson, who admitted in a voluntary radio interview over DYRD’s Inyong Alagad that she is a former drug user, also tagged De los Reyes in illegal drug use and trafficking.
The whistleblower questioned the “wealth†of the mayor whose Beauche beauty soap Tecson claimed has not even been earning much.
Tecson tagged De los Reyes soap manufacturing business, which base is in Cavite, as an illegal drug trade front.
The expose of Tecson, who sought protection because of death threats, spawned serious public fear of drug money during the campaign and, ultimately, in a widespread vote buying which can be unprecedented in Bohol’s electoral history.
In Anda, a Third District town, each purok leader who could recruit 25 voters for Bag-ong Bol-anon has been promised at least P5,000.
The house of each recruit must be posted with a De los Reyes tarpaulin as a proof, according to well-meaning Andahanons who said they could not stomach the politics and ways of the Bag-ong Bol-anon leader and UNA gubernatorial candidate.
They reported that many purok leaders have second thought as they also learned that De los Reyes has been facing numerous criminal charges, most of them swindling and estafa, in Bohol and different courts in the country even long way back his private life years.
The Bag-ong Bol-anon candidate has been in fact on bail for charges pending in Cavite courts alone.
She earlier denied she had arrests warrants for these cases but not until court records show she indeed rushed to put up bail together with fellow Bag-ong Bol-anon leader Tagbilaran City Mayor Dan Lim.
Her twin sister has been charged with estafa cases, too, the latest involving a car purchased from a Baclayon-based car dealer which happens to be owned by a known Tagbilaran –based lawyer who sued her in court.
AND WHO IS
THIS CANDIDATE?
Meanwhile, a lady candidate not belonging to LP recently issued a bouncing check to a department store worth some P300,000 as supposed payment for assorted groceries and other items.
A source who is a government official said this was confirmed by the store management itself.
The candidate who is vying for a high elective seat turned out to be the same woman who, years back, was involved in a large-scale housing project scam in Tagbilaran City.
According to unimpeachable sources, the candidate, who was yet a private citizen that time, swindled several teachers and other potential clients who were duped into investing their hard-earned money.
She would roll out their money for her own gain, the source said.
She was able to “rent†bulldozer and other heavy equipment to start the “development†of her real estate venture but on an intent of merely getting capital from Pag-ibig fund.
Some contractors from whom she rented the equipment have not been fully paid until now, the source said.
She used to rent private service cars for visiting Pag-ibig officials who were unwitting of her scheme. The car owner already died without having been fully paid, the source said.
Since she had no enough money to buy the entire lot alone for the housing site, the source said it still puzzles today why she was able to secure a “deed of sale†with the otherwise hesitant landowners.
The deed of sale was believed to be forged by the woman, whom the source suspected could skilfully imitate signatures.
Pag-ibig officials were made to grace and the city government, on invitation, was even represented during the “groundbreaking†ceremony, which was necessary as one requirement to secure Pag-ibig funding.
The source said the housing project has since been abandoned.
The source recalled that it was noticed during the groundbreaking that the nearby house of the landowners was guarded by armed men, who were thought to be policemen, for obvious reason of preventing them from getting out and telling the Pag-ibig people that they were victims, too.
By that time, the woman already had enemies over bouncing checks she issued so that she even got jailed here. A retired city police confirmed this to another source.
‘EVIL GENIUS’
Also by that time, the woman lived in a rented house in Tagbilaran City with her lover who is a married man. She herself was married to her original husband, not a Boholano, but already separated.
She was able to convince her live-in partner to borrow money from his uncle until their debt accumulated to some one million pesos, the source said.
His uncle had to sue them, prompting them to leave Bohol and stay for about two months in a room at the Mercedes Hotel in Cebu City.
According to the source, the woman used to go to the casino.
At one time, she went to Manila and got back to Cebu already with money, which her live-in partner expected to be used to settle their debt to his uncle. So they boarded a fastcraft from Cebu City to Bohol.
But while at the port and about to board, the woman acted uneasily, as if she was afraid, because some “suspicious†men were “following and staring†at her.
The money were all secured inside her bag, until they arrived at the Tagbilaran port.
But when they were to go to his uncle to settle their debt, the woman suddenly looked “shocked†because the money were all gone from her bag.
The source said the woman and her live-in partner boarded back to Cebu City and sought the assistance of the policemen, some of them even Boholanos assigned there, to help them trace the possible suspects. The case has not been solved until now.
Her lover suspected that the strange men following them---and staring at her---at the port in Cebu City could be her own underworld fellows acting in a “drama†she herself plotted and directed.
The woman had obviously no plan to pay his lover’s uncle, the source said.
She must have an extent of “connections†she could only know since she could get expensive cars anytime she wanted even then.
This, even if there was a time that the power of their rented house was disconnected for few months. But she stayed there. It occurred in their quarrel get worst leading to their last and irreconcilable break-up.
UNDER THE BED
The woman would hide even literally under the bed just to evade law enforcers. “Gahigda ilawom sa katre pwerteng aboga. Namilit og samot ang abog kay gipaningot.â€
It occurred when sheriffs looked for her because she could no longer obligate, in another case, her accumulated delinquent payments for two 10-wheeler delivery trucks acquired from Cebu.
The source said she managed to get a “contract†with a softdrink company for her new business delivering its products. It was suspected to be another case of forgery.
She used the “signed†contract as a “collateral†to acquire the hauling trucks from Cebu.
As the sheriffs knocked the door of their rented house, she warned him not to make any noise and pulled him to hide with her under their bed, the source said.
He got mad because he was made a co-maker in the deal to acquire the hauling trucks but yet it turned out that she did not settle their obligation.
According to the source, the male lover was once scolded by a bank manager in Cebu for issuing a check far beyond his cash account. It turned out to be her work.
WORST OF ALL
Worst of all, according to the source, she was into illegal drug trafficking and addiction, too.
At one time, she ordered shabu worth P180,000 from Cebu City, using her live-in partner as the courier of the dangerous substance back to Bohol, the source said.
Finally, the source said, the man decided to break up with the woman and leave her “kay giigo na hangtud siya. Gikulata pa nang babaye, gadugo-dugo gud, pero baga gyud kayo og nawong.â€
He was already back to his family but his mistress would call him in their house.
Not just once, his wife would receive calls, often at midnight, from his mistress and asked his wife, “Naa si daddy?†His mistress used to call him “Dad.â€
These serious allegations supposedly all happened before she ran for a public office and before she met her present husband.
She has no moral ascendancy right from the start, the source said.
