Philippine Daily News / "Scandal" at Simala Shrine
September 24, 2009, 10:15:58 AM

TWO ex-monks and a former devotee of a popular shrine in Simala, Sibonga town revealed yesterday allegations of corruption and sex, saying these have tainted the pilgrimage site for years.

The claims, aired in radio and television reports, went unanswered by the shrine’s officials. A senior official of the Cebu Archdiocese said the complaints should have been brought up with Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal.

In an interview with radio DyAB yesterday morning, Dr. Edwin Fonghe, a physician from Dalaguete town, and two former monks who identified themselves as Paul Cabillon and a certain Dodong claimed that the group overseeing the Blessed Virgin of Lindogon has been “degrading” the shrine and violating vows of chastity, obedience and charity.

But Msgr. Esteban Binghay, episcopal vicar of the Cebu Archdiocese, said that Cabillon was recently expelled from the congregation of the Marian Monks of the Eucharistic Adoration.

This was reported in the Archdiocese’s publication “Ang Bag-ong Lungsoranon,” Binghay confirmed.

Binghay said the allegations should have been discussed with the archbishop, since the group is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese.

“It could have been done properly and in the right forum,” said Binghay.

If they do not trust Cardinal Vidal, Binghay advised the three men to seek an audience with the Apostolic Nuncio in Rome so that the matter can be investigated.

Miss Gay

He told Sun.Star Cebu that Fray Martin Mary, the congregation’s superior, informed him Cabillon had been expelled because he left the congregation without giving notice.

Binghay said that Cabillon was supposed to be transferred to a sister congregation in Hilongos, Leyte, but when Fray Martin called his counterparts there, he was told the monk didn’t proceed to his new assignment.

Among Cabillon’s allegations were that a Miss Gay pageant had been held in the shrine and that “lewd sexual acts” were practiced there. He also accused the monks of greed.

Cabillon, who said he has been a monk for more than 17 years, also described himself as one of the founders of the shrine in Lindogon.

However, he said he resigned from their congregation due to a conflict with the monks and decided to leave for Hilongos, Leyte. This happened earlier this year, said Cabillon.

Sex

To his shock, in August he found his picture and name printed in the Cebu Archdiocese’s “Ang Bag-ong Lungsuranon,” which stated he has been officially removed since he left the congregation without permission. The notice was signed by Fray Martin and Cardinal Vidal.

Cabillon dismissed the publication’s statement as a lie. He added that before he left the congregation, Fray Martin granted him permission.

Cabillon, a self-professed homosexual, said that in 2006, he had sex with a novice monk who made advances on him.

“Iya kung gisaka sa akong kwarto… Dili unta ko gusto kay naa mi gapuyo sa sagrado na lugar, pero…nagpatintal ra sad ko (He went to my room. I didn’t want to have sex but I yielded to the temptation),” said Cabillon.

Cabillon alleged that Fray Martin advised the monks to confess their sins to him, to protect the congregation’s reputation and the Marian shrine.

Cabillon added that during their anniversary, Fray Martin had allegedly organized a Miss Gay pageant inside the shrine for the monks to join. (A picture is being circulated showing some men dressed in drag, next to a few nuns. There are no marks to prove this took place inside the shrine.)

Cabillon said he tried to stop the Miss Gay pageant, but heeded his vow of obedience and joined it. He won second prize.

Dodong, a novice monk who stayed in Simala from February to November 2007, said he wasn’t spared from the homosexual deeds of his fellow monks.

Dodong alleged that one of the senior monks had him sit on the other’s lap.

Dodong also complained he often spent his time counting the money that devotees contributed to the shrine.

“Sa mga ordinaryong monghe, sige gyud nag silag pangadyi, pero sa amoa, sige lang mig kwenta ug sinseyo. Maabtan lang gud mi ug kadlawn ug sige ug pangwenta (Other monks spend most of their time praying. We spent most of our time counting loose change, sometimes until dawn),” said Dodong.

LGU Philippines / Mar Roxas Announces VP Bid
September 21, 2009, 12:13:15 PM
MANILA - Three weeks after giving up his presidential bid, Senator Manuel "Mar" Roxas II on Monday formally accepted the invitation of Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III to become the latter's running mate in the 2010 elections.

With shouts of "Noynoy-Mar!" echoing inside the historic Club Filipino in San Juan, Roxas said he is wholeheartedly accepting the challenge of running for the vice-presidency in next year's polls under the Liberal Party (LP) banner.

"Thank you for this opportunity to work with you as we raise the banner of reform. Thank you for the privilege of joining you and our kababayans in the fight for decency and integrity in public service. Taos-puso ko pong tinatanggap na isulong ang reporma sa ating bansa," he said in his speech.

Roxas said the Noy-Mar tandem is a response to the people's "collective thirst for change", adding that their partnership seeks to put an end to the horse-trading and transactional politics that is the biggest road block to the country's progress.

Aquino praised Roxas for giving up his presidential bid and said his sacrifice "gave way to the launch of a movement of our countrymen who are hungry for the return of a decent, clean and organized government." Mar earlier withdrew from the 2010 presidential race last September 1. He also made known his support for Noynoy’s bid.

The formal announcement was made on the day when Muslims commemorate the Eid’l Fitr or the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Monday also marks the commemoration of the 37th anniversary of the declaration of martial law.

Noynoy is the son of the late former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino and the late Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr.

Roxas, meantime, is the grandson of former President Manuel Roxas and son of the late Sen. Gerardo “Gerry” Roxas.

Noynoy announced his presidential bid last Sept. 9

MANILA - Now that Sen. Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III has crossed the Rubicon, can he untie the Gordian knot?

This is the major question of leaders of civil society as they threw their support to Aquino’s presidential bid in May 2010.

Viewed as a reluctant candidate, which is supposedly one quality that makes him suitable for the presidential post, Aquino now faces the challenge of proving he is worthy of, or better than, his parent’s legacy.

As the candidate currently in the spotlight, activist priest Fr. Robert Reyes said Aquino is on the cusp of reforming the country’s “present elitist democracy to one that is participatory.”

Reyes, who was present in Aquino’s formal announcement at Club Filipino on Wednesday, said he is supporting the Aquino scion’s candidacy, like most civil society groups.

He is among the conveners of the new movement, “Noynoy Para sa Pilipinas” or “Noypi,” which is supporting Aquino's bid.

Reyes said Aquino is different from the other aspirants since he was able to inspire civil society groups to once again be hopeful that change is possible.

Noynoy's democracy challenge


The prelate noted that the late President Corazon Aquino, while she restored democracy, was hampered in demolishing “elitist democracy” during her administration.

President Arroyo, on the other hand, only paid lip service to her vow to bring wider participation of civil society groups in governance. Arroyo came into power in January 2001 following a series of corruption scandals involving then President Joseph Estrada.

While Arroyo may have tapped civil society leaders like former Social Welfare Secretary Dinky Soliman and former presidential adviser on the peace process Teresita Deles in her official Cabinet, they were eventually “co-opted by Arroyo.”

Reyes said “it was a good thing that they bolted out of her Cabinet before it was too late.”

Aquino, he said, has the chance of undoing what Arroyo did by really giving “all sectors in society a voice in governance.”

Deles, who was also present in Aquino’s formal declaration, said she expects him “to bring back governance and to strengthen democracy” in case he wins as President.

Black and White movement spokesperson Leah Navarro said she is hopeful that Aquino, if he becomes president, will uphold “good governance and institutional reform” by “opening accountability and engaging in consultations with stakeholders."

Reforming Hacienda Luisita

The party-list Akbayan, which is supporting Aquino, said that it would engage Aquino on the agrarian reform case surrounding Hacienda Luisita in Tarlac owned by the Aquino and Cojuangco clans.

The fate of 6,400 hectare property has been one of the major criticisms thrown at then-President Aquino's "democratic" restoration. While land reform was one of the pillars of her administration, her own family's agricultural estate was spared of actual agrarian reform. And in 2004, 14 workers died in a violent dispersal of striking sugar plantation workers in the hacienda.

Deles acknowledged Hacienda Luisita's land reform would be one of major issues that Aquino would have to confront. “But we trust him that he will do what needs to be done” when the right time comes, she said.

Reyes said Aquino should also be prepared to handle issues concerning his uncle, businessman Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco Jr., especially the coco-levy fund controversies. Cojuangco is accused of misusing the levy imposed by on coconut farmers to enrich himself.

Recently, a case against a move by Cojuangco-led conglomerate San Miguel Corporation has reached the Supreme Court. San Miguel wanted to convert company shares that coconut farmers have been claiming as illegally acquired by Cojuangco into non-voting shares.

This move had been criticized by farmer groups and civil society organizations as a way for Aquino’s uncle to set aside the farmer claimants in how the company is ran.

Reyes said Aquino should address these issues not only when he becomes President, but also even during the election campaign.

In his formal announcement on Wednesday, Aquino provided a glimpse into his administration in case he gets to Malacañang.

He said he would provide access of justice “not only for the well-connected but for everybody.”

He cited, for instance, the ill-gotten wealth cases of the Marcoses. More than 20 years after the fall of the Marcos regime, he said there is no closure yet.

A woman's caress is the weakness of man. Her perfume, the stimulant, and arouses him.

The sound of her voice, dilates his pupils. The touch of her finger on his face, the ignition of his internal dynamite.

hmmmm

now i know why he missed my touch :P

LGU Philippines / Noynoy Has Accepted The Challenge
September 09, 2009, 08:35:17 AM
MANILA - Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, son of democracy icon Corazon Aquino and national hero Ninoy Aquino, will run for president in next year's elections, a Liberal Party (LP) stalwart announced ahead of his expected declaration on Wednesday morning.

"Tinatanggap niya ang hamon ng ating mga kababayan, ng partido Liberal na siya ang maging standard bearer ng aming partido (That he is accepting the people's and the Liberal Party's challenge to be our party's standard bearer)," LP national chairman Franklin Drilon told ABS-CBN's Umagang Kay Ganda when asked what will be Aquino's announcement at Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan City.

Drilon added: "He will be the people's candidate."

Aquino, who went into retreat in his mother's favorite monastery in Zamboanga City, was expected to make the announcement at 7:30 a.m.

The announcement was timed with the 40th day after the late President Aquino's death.

The venue -- Club Filipino -- was the same place where Mrs. Aquino was sworn in as Philippine president after a bloodless people's revolt that ended decades of President Ferdinand Marcos' martial rule.

Usik bitaw kaajo ang ilang potentials as human beings. What is bound to happen is that they grow cynical at a very early age, and become harmful to society and to themselves.

And to zoom out into the big picture--ang atong politicians way laing gibuhat but to exhaust means fair and foul to perpetuate themselves in office. Oh, my sad republic...

Yes, sad but true! Some become mentally disturbed because of harsh experiences. Na corrupt intawon ang ilang batang huna-huna.

Until now, the struggle for just womens rights has continuously been reinvented to challenge the existing authorities. I think Iran is leading in these struggles.

Kujaw nga maparehas sa nahitabo sa usa ka higal nga bus driver:

A nun walks into a bus and sits behind the driver and says, "I have just one regret before I die."

The bus driver asks, "What might that be?" She says, "I have never had sex, but I can't have sex with a married man or that would be a sin."

The bus driver says, "I'm not married!"

The nun says, "I have to die a virgin so I will have to take it in my ass."

Being the only two in the bus they went to the back and took care of business.

When they were done the bus driver, grinning widely, says to the nun,  "I have a confesion to make. I am married."

The nun says, "I also have a confesion to make. My name is Tom and I'm going to a costume party!"
