Talk of the town: Joavan, Greco, ‘shoplifter’s’ death
PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT ->> ARREST OF BUDDIES. How police were able to quickly arrest Greco Sanchez, son of the late vice governor, and yet remain unable to catch Joavan Fernandez despite the higher number of scrapes the son of the Talisay City mayor has had with the law. Guess the reason.
>> POLITICS. Both Greco and Joavan using politics as reason for their woes: Greco, blaming his sister and her politics for sicing the cops on him; Joavan, blaming a politician for tarnishing the Fernandez name so that his grandson would lead the councilor’s race; both Greco and Joavan though are also suspected of using drugs.
>> MALL DEATH. The suspicious circumstances under which a teenager died while in custody of guards who allegedly caught him shoplifting in a mall; the autopsy requested by his mother should clarify cause of his death.
>> MARRIAGE VALIDITY. How valid were marriages solemnized by four MTCC judges who were ordered dismissed by the Supreme Court for misconduct? They wouldn’t be valid, a Bzzzzz source says, not because of lack of authority of the judge but because of the defects when the marriage was solemnized.
>> WHICH MOM? News about Jake Ejercito coming home from London to help his father Erap Estrada’s bid for Manila mayor drew the question: Which mother? Answer: retired actress Laarni Enriquez.
Humble commercial
One political commercial that doesn’t boast of accomplishments of the candidate is that of a Cebu Provincial Board member.
A Bzzzzz source says it oozes with humility, which the song used for the jingle suggests: “Matud Nila (Ako Dili Angay).”
In contrast, a commercial for a senatorial wannabe boasts he can produce jobs and the good life for voters.
‘Election-related’? Not quite
The shooting of the live-in partner of a Masbate town mayor and her woman companion, killing the first but sparing the second, was rated by the police as possibly political in nature.
Using police standards, one at most can call it “suspected election-related.”
Did you know a police committee, not just one police official, could call the incident “validated election-related”?
And its finding has to be sent to Camp Crame to validate the “validated election-related.”
EQ diaper makers identified
A Lapu-Lapu City Hall source names JS Unitrade Merchandise, Inc. with corporate address at Ortigas Center in Pasay City as the manufacturer of the controversial EQ diapers. The owner of the firm is said to be Samuel Po.
Yesterday, Lapu-Lapu City legal officer Yuri Beluan wrote Frederick Alegre, president of AdBoard, to express the city’s opposition to the airing of the commercial that City Mayor Paz Radaza earlier criticized as an inaccurate and disrespectful representation of the Battle of Mactan. It’s a misinformation and distortion of history, Beluan told AdBoard, asking for the stop to its airing and imposing sanctions on persons responsible.
