Subject: Can Somebody Please Verify This?
This was forwarded to me a few days ago, can somebody please verify if this is
for real? Anybody else received this same email from other sources?
All I know is that Noli De Castro has been *rumored* planning to run for the
Senate in this forthcoming election in May 2001. Latest surveys on the "Magic
12" - *shoe-in* candidates for the Senate include Noli de Castro among the
bottom 6, perennially.
Maybe it's about time we know this candidate better. Anybody can help out
there verify any of these?

NOLI "KABAYAD" DE "CASH"TRO UNMASKED!!!
NOLI DE CASTRO has, in the past few years, portrayed himself as every corrupt
government officials' nemesis, the defender of the poor and the oppressed and
the hope of the exploited and the helpless. Every morning, De Castro is heard
over radio DZMM fearlessly lambasting corrupt police officials, taking to task
lazy and inefficient government functionaries and exposing exploitative and
oppressive private individuals and Big Business. His exposes continue on
ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation's primetime television news, TV PATROL and the
once-a-week news magazine program, MAGANDANG GABI, BAYAN. In the process, De
Castro has managed to cultivate an image of "MR. CLEAN." Indeed, he has become
everybody's KABAYAN.
BUT THE SIXTY MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION IS: IS NOLI DE CASTRO FOR REAL?
To the hordes of uninformed and unsuspecting radio listeners and television
viewers, BE WARNED!!!
The "MR. CLEAN" NOLI DE CASTRO you have been admiring for his fearless
commentaries and exposes against graft and corruption IS A FAKE!!! IN REALITY,
his name is synonymous to NOLI DE "CASH"TRO and he is derisively called "KA
BAYAD" by those who have fallen prey to his black-mailing tactics in the guise
of public service. The hard-hitting commentaries, the fearless exposes and all
the other noise and chest-beating by De Castro purportedly against graft and
corruption are all in fact mere CHARADES... SCRIPTED DRAMAS... and PALABAS..
with the end view of harassing and shaking down their targets to come across
with the amount demanded OR ELSE the "fearless commentaries and stinging
criticisms" will not stop. Even MGB, the highly-acclaimed weekly news magazine
TV program, has been derided as MAGANDANG GABI, BAYAD!
NOLI DE CASTRO, THE DEFENDER OF THE POOR AND THE OPPRESSED, IS AGAIN A FAKE!!!
IN REALITY, his "crusades" for the poor are just fronts of the whole
money-making venture he is engaged in through what is known in the media as
AC-DC. In the guise of taking the cause of the poor and the oppressed, De
Castro then "Attacks or Defends" his targets - be they government officials,
police officers, contractors, vice lords, gambling lords and individuals. In
either case, De Castro collects piles of money from his preys.
AS HOPE OF THE EXPLOITED AND THE HELPLESS, AGAIN NOLI DE CASTRO IS NOT. For
what can be expected from a man who is judged by his peers and colleagues in
the industry to be the MOST CORRUPT broadcaster alive. This is most obvious in
the area of PR and Crisis Management work where De Castro has no qualms using
MGB, TV PATROL and his KABAYAN radio program over DZMM to shakedown and harass
targeted government officials and private individuals to further enrich
himself.
But what puzzles most of the people in and out of media, is how come the top
management of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation has chosen to look the other way
amidst many reports from A-1 sources about De Castro's unethical, even criminal
money-making activities? How come the management of ASIA'S MOST ADMIRED NETWORK
refused to even just investigate the A-1 reports even for the sake of knowing
the truth and the veracity of its sources? How can it continue to claim as its
network's motto "In the Service of the Filipino" when management itself has
remained deaf and mute to NOLI DE CASTRO'S corrupt journalistic practices,
clearly a disservice to the Filipino people? YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS ANYBODY.
NOLI DE CASTRO'S CHOP-CHOP DAYS AND OTHER EARLY CORRUPT ACTIVITIES
In 1987, De Castro, an upstart broadcaster at that time, was tagged as one of
those directly involved or giving protection to smugglers in the Bureau of
Customs who were bringing in Completely Knocked Down (CKD) but highly-dutiable
luxury vehicles in what is now the infamous Chop-Chop Controversy. In exchange
for lending his supposedly untouchable and feared name, NOLI DE CASTRO was
gifted with an L-300 Van by the smuggling syndicate. When his involvement was
exposed in the media, NOLI DE CASTRO tried to explain himself by claiming that
he was just a buyer (of the smuggled luxury utility vehicles). But informed
sources in the Customs confirmed that NOLI DE CASTRO was indeed involved
(either directly or indirectly, it was not sure) in the smuggling attempt and
that the L-300 Van was a payment for the services (whatever it was) he rendered
to the syndicate. Fearful that the controversy may cut short his budding
broadcasting career at ABS-CBN, and to avoid further public ridicule, NOLI BOY
sold the Van and used the proceeds (still the fruit from an illegal activity)
to buy a red Nissan Pathfinder.
Also, at the time when NOLI DE CASTRO was still making a name for himself in
the broadcast industry, San Pablo City (Laguna) Mayor Vic Amante, Southern
Tagalog Jeepney magnate and one of the region's biggest illegal logging and
quarrying operators, BRIBED KABAYAN NOLI with several hectares of prime
agricultural land. In exchange, NOLI "MR. CLEAN" DE CASTRO must, in the first
several days upon his acceptance of the "gift," get and air the side of Mayor
Amante when KABAYAN'S topic concerns the illegal logging and quarrying
activities in the Southern Tagalog region. The Mayor hoped that his
explanations on air will help put the issue to rest. As part of the whole deal,
when the issue had quieted down, KABAYAN NOLI must refrain from ever exposing
and criticizing Mayor Amante's illegal activities. Even CPP's Ka Roger and the
late Ka Hector Mabilangan know about this whole rotten deal. Six months later,
MR. CLEAN sold Mayor Amante's "gift" to a buyer.
BLACKMAIL is another favorite tactic employed by NOLI DE CASTRO to get his
share of the pie from government contracts. One of his victims was the
venerable FF Cruz whose construction firm was awarded to build the KAMUNING
Fly-Over. During its construction, MR. CLEAN NOLI DE CASTRO mounted daily
attacks on his radio program against FF Cruz for its alleged defective
construction of the fly-over. NOLI BOY pointed to alleged unsound structural
design and poor construction methods. But while NOLI BOY was waging his public
battle on air against FF Cruz's alleged failure to comply to sound engineering
standards, NOLI "MR. CLEAN" DE CASTRO had privately sent emissaries from the
staff of MGB to FF Cruz. NOLI was demanding P500,000.00 from the firm in
exchange for his silence. The issue was "settled" for a lesser amount. Let us
not be surprised then, why MR. DE CASTRO THE CRUSADER would not touch any issue
concerning fly-overs especially those constructed by FF Cruz.
Before he made a name for himself, when he was still the private valet and
butler of ROD NAVARRO, MR. DE CASTRO used to live in a modest house in Lagro,
Quezon City, now occupied by his sister and brother-in-law. Only months after
he came to ABS-CBN, MR. DE CASTRO was able to acquire a twin townhouse in
ROMAROSA TOWNHOMES. Then, with bank accounts bulging with money from his
illegal connections in Southern Tagalog, particularly from his patron Mayor
Amante, NOLI THE DEFENDER OF THE POOR, was able to acquire a new multi-million
peso house in Tierra Pura bought from a retired military general who was also a
friend of Mayor Amante. This general was Amante's protector in the latter's
illegal logging and quarrying operations in Laguna and Quezon provinces. Again,
MR. CLEAN NOLI DE CASTRO got the house at a bargain price with the help of
Mayor Amante. The deal? NOLI BOY'S continued silence concerning the Mayor's
illegal activities in the Southern Tagalog and the Bicol region. And how about
the large FARM property he's got in San Jose Del Monte in Bulacan? What rotten
deal (through bribery or blackmail perhaps) did he get into this time?
"MR. CLEAN" DE "CASH"TRO'S CORRUPT PRACTICES CONTINUE
Noli de Castro ABS-CBN's highest paid anchorman.
SEGMENT FOR SALE... INTERVIEW FOR A PRICE... GRACE MAGUAN, the sister of ELDON,
ROLITO GO'S murder victim, was asked to pay P200,000.00 so that she will be
interviewed on MGB and ASSIGNMENT. This was the time when GO was in hiding and
media was losing interest in ELDON'S case. MS. MAGUAN intimated this "interview
cost" to LOREN LEGARDA when she sought her for an INSIDE STORY interview. LOREN
could only drop her jaw in disbelief.
Big real estate companies like FIL-INVEST and FIL-ESTATE have also BRIBED "MR.
CLEAN" DE CASTRO with "choice properties" at give-away prices in exchange for
MR. DE CASTRO'S silence concerning the real estate giants' controversial
projects such as the FIL-INVEST QUARRYING in San Mateo, Rizal, and FIL-ESTATE'S
very controversial Blue Waters and Fairways project in Boracay Island in Panay
and another golf course project in Nasugbu, Batangas.
When you believe that MR. DE CASTRO IS THE DEFENDER OF THE POOR AND THE
OPPRESSED, THEN YOU ARE DEAD WRONG!!! He exploits them to suit his personal
agenda. Complainants against big companies are A-1 materials. When they come to
him for redress, MR. DE CASTRO uses them as leverage to force subject companies
to settle to his personal demands such as FRANCHISES at give-away prices. That
is why MR. DE CASTRO loses no opportunity to hit hard at JOLLIBEE and
MACDONALDS - and this is no secret among the directors and officers of the two
hamburger giants - so that he can have a franchise from these two at give-away
prices.
Another case involves a buyer of a condominium unit in Makati who complained to
MR. DE CASTRO about the substandard materials that were being used by the
property owner/developer in constructing the said condominium. After only a few
short airtime on his radio program, MR. DE CASTRO lost interest in pursuing the
complaints against the developer. It was learned that NOLI BOY accepted a
"GIFT" of one condominium unit located in another part of town given by the
subject owner/developer.
Another seemingly untouchable firm is the ASIAN ALCOHOL FERMENTATION PLANT in
Pampanga. It was the subject of numerous DENR closure orders for polluting the
Apalit River and blatantly violating environmental laws. And the daily barrage
of reports on radio DZMM and TV PATROL and the in-depth reports on MGB and
ASSIGNMENT could have helped closed the polluting alcohol plant permanently.
But very suddenly, the reports stopped and MR. DE CASTRO was once again
abruptly silent on the issue, the very same issue he was so hot about the
previous days. Informed sources however, said there were millions of reasons
why MR. DE CASTRO was suddenly mum on the issue.
Mon Tulfo Columnist of Philippine Daily Inquirer.
And how hot was NOLI BOY on the issue involving the proposed sale to the EVER
GOTESCO group of a prime government lot by the Kalookan City government for a
measly P10,000.00 per square meter? HE IS VERY HOT!!! And MR. DE CASTRO loses
no opportunity to hit hard against EVER GOTESCO and the ORIENT BANK because the
EVER GOTESCO group did not agree to his demand of tens of millions of pesos in
exchange for his silence on the issue. What the EVER GOTESCO group has offered
to MR. CLEAN for him to stop his attacks on the proposed sale during a meeting
at Melo's Restaurant in front of ABS-CBN was only less than P10-M, which NOLI
BOY found too small and unacceptable. The said meeting was also attended by
Inquirer columnist RAMON TULFO.
Further, MR. DE CASTRO has cashed in on the following cases by killing these
stories:
- Biñan Mayor Alonte Rape Case
- The Acquittal of San Ildefonso Mayor Galvez in the Vinculado Murder Case.
- Bong Pineda's jueteng operations in Mindoro and Southern Tagalog Region
- Marcopper Waste Spill
- Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA)
- All Complaints against San Jose Builders Inc., Controversial Builder of the
San
- Andres Tenement Houses along the South Super HighWay in Manila.
And how cold is NOLI BOY on the many issues against LUCIO TAN? COLD. Indeed,
NOLI BOY IS DEAD COLD. He hasn't even tried even to direct small pot shots
against the taipan who is accused of evading payment of taxes to the tune of P
25-B. Even the highly-irregular deal between LUCIO TAN'S Philippine Airlines
and the government in the NAIA Terminal II, had received nary a comment from
DZMM's fearless commentator.
THE REASONS: Material and financial favors were granted to MR. CLEAN NOLI DE
CASTRO by MR. TAN through one of his minions, a certain MR. BACSAL. A new KIA
PREGIO was said to have been "acquired" by MR. DE CASTRO at almost the same
time that he met with MR. BACSAL. Informed sources from BACSAL'S group also
said his sizeable FARM in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, was formerly owned not
too long ago, by no less than their KAPITAN. Residents around the FARM also
confirmed this that indeed LUCIO TAN, THE TAIPAN was the immediate past owner
of the property which is now titled in the name of NOLI AND ARLENE DE CASTRO!!!
"MR. CLEAN" MAKES DIRTY MILLIONS DURING ELECTIONS
Elections are golden harvest time for the likes of "KA BAYAD" NOLI DE CASTRO.
In 1992, Presidential candidates RAMON MITRA, FIDEL RAMOS, EDUARDO COJUANGCO,
MIRIAM SANTIAGO and other wannabes, each paid P 200,000.00 for a one-on-one
interview with MR. CLEAN himself and featured full length in his weekly program
MAGANDANG GABI, BAYAN. The amount is ostensibly a donation for NOLI THE
DEFENDER OF THE POOR DE CASTRO'S "pet projects for the needy" in his hometown
in Mindoro.
In 1998, MR. CLEAN once again made a killing from the gullible presidential
candidates. This time though, "KA BAYAD" NOLI did not ask for donations for his
"pet projects" which is a pittance. Instead, MR. DE "CASH"TRO SOLD HIS SOUL to
his favorite candidate, GEN. RENATO DE VILLA for P 3-M. The money was delivered
to him by a trusted henchman of the AYALAS. The same AYALA henchman, a PR man,
was lent by the AYALAS to the DE VILLA camp to help manage its media bureau
during the campaign period.
But GREED has apparently overtaken MR. DE CASTRO'S sound judgement and so, not
content with the P 3-M he got for selling his soul to DE VILLA, "KA BAYAD"
threw HONOR away into the air and TRIED TO PEDDLE HIS SOUL (the very same soul
he sold to DE VILLA) to the LAKAS PARTY for P 10-M. Realizing maybe that his
WORD OF HONOR is not as honorable because of his own double dealing with the DE
VILLA camp, MR. DE "CASH"TRO settled for P 3-M in exchange for his half-a-soul
commitment to also support Presidential Candidate JOSE DE VENECIA. This fact,
MR. CLEAN cannot deny, since the money was delivered to him by no less than
Former Press Secretary and now LAKAS spokesperson ANNABELLE ABAYA and former
DZMM colleague MARIO GARCIA.
The P 3-M "KA BAYAD" had received from LAKAS was over and above the more than P
2-M he received from an ABS-CBN colleague and fellow anchor who doubled as DE
VENECIA'S PR man. The amount was reported by the anchor cum PR man to MS. GINA
DE VENECIA as NOLI BOY'S share in the media payroll of ABS-CBN officers.
The most recent report of NOLI BOY'S extortion activities involves one of the
mayoral candidates in Pasay City's forthcoming recall elections.
Vice Mayor Peewee Trinidad who is running for mayor in the recall elections was
reportedly approached by emissaries from MGB and was asked to shell out P
100,000 so that he will not be bothered by negative reports from "KA BAYAD 'S"
morning radio program.
It is not known however if other mayoralty candidates have also been
approached.
P 3-M BUNNY GERMAN JUNKET IN THAILAND
Another instance that MR. CLEAN made a pile of money in the guise of conducting
exclusive interviews was the case of MS. BUNNY GERMAN, the pyramiding wife of
erstwhile ERAP publicist RELI GERMAN.
No less than ATO ANG, a known ERAP henchman, who went about town bragging to
those who care to listen that he gave "KA BAYAD" the dollar equivalent of P 3-M
for his "efforts" in going to Bangkok, Thailand where he conducted an exclusive
interview with MS. BUNNY GERMAN for her side of the pyramid scam and in the
process, protect the FIRST LADY, an alleged victim of the scam, by excluding
her from any involvement in the scam. The catch is to portray the FIRST LADY as
a victim instead. According to ATO ANG, NOLI BOY immediately deposited the
amount to his secret dollar account in Hong Kong. ATO ANG added that it was he
who arranged everything for NOLI BOY'S trip, including airfare, accommodation
and pocket money.
MR. CLEAN NOLI DE CASTRO'S ILLEGAL GAMBLING CONNECTIONS
TELEVISION NEWS' MR. CLEAN FORMS UNHOLY ALLIANCE WITH THE COUNTRY'S
ACKNOWLEDGED JUETENG KING!!!
PINEDA - DE CASTRO TANDEM ESTABLISHES BIGGEST ILLEGAL GAMBLING OPERATIONS IN
SOUTHERN TAGALOG!!!
DE CASTRO REIGNS SUPREME IN THE ISLAND OF MINDORO; JUETENG OPERATIONS HAVE
BECOME UNTOUCHABLE!!!
There was a time when the jueteng fiefdom of BONG PINEDA, easily the country 's
most controversial gambling lord, was restricted to the six provinces in
Central Luzon. At that time, with PINEDA'S many political patrons and police
protectors, he need not fear the likes of an upstart broadcaster named NOLI DE
CASTRO. At most, MR. DE CASTRO'S commentaries on illegal gambling barely made a
dent on PINEDA'S phalanx of protectors. But then, PINEDA, through sound
judgement or pure luck, didn't totally ignore MR. DE CASTRO, whom he considered
a minor irritant but still someone to be taken cared of - just in case he
needed his services in the future. Soon, "SMALL CHANGE" regularly found its way
to the pockets of MR. DE CASTRO. The die has been cast.
In 1992, then President Fidel Ramos ordered a crackdown against private armed
groups, majority of which were being maintained by gambling lords, following
the involvement of former Calauan Mayor Antonio Sanchez and his armed goons in
the rape and double murder of UP students Aileen Sarmenta and Allan Gomez.
PINEDA became a natural target.
By this time, the now very famous and influential MR. DE CASTRO had PINEDA in
the palm of his hand. The BENEFACTOR-BENEFICIARY relationship soon became a
PARTNERSHIP with PINEDA as the financier/gambling operator and DE CASTRO as his
protector/business partner.
With SANCHEZ in jail, his once solid illegal gambling machinery in Southern
Tagalog has been fragmented. Bit players tried to cash in with the vacuum left
by SANCHEZ'S group.
Encouraged by NOLI BOY, PINEDA lost no time to set-up his own jueteng operation
in Southern Luzon, including in the two Mindoro provinces, MR. DE CASTRO'S
natural power base. THERE, NOLI DE CASTRO, MEDIA'S MR. CLEAN WOULD REIGN
SUPREME over the illegal numbers game operation.
To further consolidate his hold on the jueteng operations in Mindoro, NOLI BOY
lost no time to call the then just appointed (just a few minutes after it was
announced) PNP Chief, GEN. PANFILO LACSON, and requested that the GENERAL
appoint his (NOLI'S) recommendees as police provincial directors of the two
Mindoro provinces. These are Superintendents RAJACA KOIANDO and NAPOLEON
CACHUELA. NOLI BOY expects the two police officers to protect his illegal
gambling operations from harassment.
Ted Failon Erstwhile protégé of De Castro.
There were also reports that erstwhile NOLI protégé TED FAILON became a
beneficiary of PINEDA'S generosity. Informed sources revealed that FAILON
bought his BMW in 1998 with COLD CASH courtesy of MR. PINEDA. Sales
representatives of the BMW dealership and some clients present at the time,
have confirmed the reports.
THE DE CASTROS' USAPANG BUSINESS
NEWS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS' PRINCESS TARHATA: "NOTHING HERE"
NOLI DE CASTRO'S wife, MS. ARLENE FATIMA SINSUAT DE CASTRO was appointed to
various powerful positions in the Current Affairs department ONLY AND ONLY, to
accommodate the fair-haired boy of TV News. Frankly, MS. DE CASTRO a.k.a.
"PRINCESS TARHATA" has long been the object of top management's derision for
her thick-skinned temerity to demand for higher positions when in fact she is
devoid of any qualifications to deserve her various appointments. EXCEPT of
course, that she is presently NOLI DE CASTRO'S wife, his second in fact. On the
other hand, NOLI is ARLENE'S THIRD HUSBAND, not counting the past dalliances
she had with other men like FLORENTINO DAUZ of the Bureau of Broadcast - PTV -
4.
When a colleague, a senior manager was promoted Director to head one of NCA' s
units, MS. DE CASTRO, then Director for Current Affairs, unashamedly twisted
the hands of top management to appoint her AVP for Current Affairs, a
non-existent position because she cannot, in conscience (whatever that means)
accept that she is now of equal rank with a former underling. Again, because of
NOLI BOY, top management relented.
Then again, when the former underling-Director was appointed AVP for a newly
consolidated division and another colleague was designated managing director of
an ABS-CBN subsidiary with a rank of Vice President, PRINCESS TARHATA, then an
AVP once again used her husband NOLI'S influence with top management to have
herself appointed VP for Current Affairs. When management balked, she filed a
leave of absence feigning sickness. All the while, NOLI BOY pressured
management to relent to his wife's request saying that she is very sick because
of the problems in the work place. Management finally relented.
PRINCESS TARHATA: THE CORRUPTION ACCOMPLICE
As Vice President for Current Affairs, PRINCESS TARHATA has gained complete
control of THE CORRESPONDENT, ASSIGNMENT, F, PIPOL, LOREN, PINOY EXPOSED and
KNOWLEDGE POWER. She has also at her complete disposal her family's
line-produced program, MAGANDANG GABI, BAYAN.
Just like in the defunct THE INSIDE STORY, USAPANG BUSINESS and COMPANERO Y
COMPANERA, MS. DE CASTRO continues to "dictate" the topics to be aired in these
programs and keep them attuned with their money-making activities. There were
numerous instances when MS. LOREN LEGARDA was instructed to change her topics
on THE INSIDE STORY, for various reasons. LOREN, unaware of the DE CASTRO
operations, relented. A case in point is the GRACE MAGUAN interview that MS. DE
CASTRO de-listed from THE INSIDE STORY line-up. THE REASON: PRINCESS TARHATA
has wanted the MAGUANS to pay P200,000 for the interview just like what they
have demanded from GRACE when she had her interview in MGB and ASSIGNMENT. The
thing was, GRACE had already intimated to LOREN MGB'S and ASSIGNMENT'S monetary
demand and ARLENE was preempted by LOREN who made it clear to the MAGUANS that
she was not charging them a single centavo for the interview.
This corruption-driven "censorship" was also experienced by GEL SANTOS RELOS,
CATHY YAP and CES DRILON in the heat of her JOLLIBEE snafu.
GABBY'S MOTHER-IN-LAW GETS A TASTE OF THE DE CASTRO CORRUPT OPERATIONS
In another instance, MS. BARBARA GONZALES, mother of PANJEE GONZALES, GABBY
LOPEZ'S second wife, has a story to tell on the corruption going on in the
Current Affairs department. During the last presidential elections campaign,
TWEETUMS GONZALES, who is president of J WALTHER THOMPSON, a leading
advertising agency in the country, was informed that an emissary of MS. ARLENE
DE CASTRO was asking for money in order to guest then Senatorial candidate
ROBERT JAWORSKI in MGB and other Current Affairs programs. The emissary turned
out to be JAMES ONG, then a news writer of THE WORLD TONIGHT. ONG, an alleged
hatchet man of the DE CASTRO'S money-making operations, claimed that he was
sent by MS. DE CASTRO precisely to deliver that proposal to JAWORSKI. MS.
GONZALES, being the president of a big advertising agency, was very much peeved
by this apparent brazen act of corruption perpetrated by Current Affairs
officials of the MOST ADMIRED NETWORK IN ASIA. Her daughter, PANJEE is married
to no less than the Chairman of ABS-CBN GABBY LOPEZ. When top management
learned of this scandalous operation, Company President FREDDIE GARCIA ordered
ONG to be fired. But until now ONG is still very much employed in the News
Department and maybe without GABBY and FREDDIE'S knowledge that their order to
fire ONG was never followed. AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, ONG is still doing
"errands" for the DE CASTROS.
For sure, ONG is being protected by MS. DE CASTRO for fear that ONG might tell
on her extortion and other illegal activities.
Then, how come that ABS-CBN management is powerless to move against MS. DE
CASTRO and even her lowly hatchet man, JAMES ONG? WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD?
