“There is no curse in elvish, entish, dwarvish, or the tongues of men that can describe this treachery.” – Tree Beard, Lord of the Rings In the infamous interview with Arnold Clavio and Winnie Monsod, Presidential son and Cong. Mikey Arroyo said that his exponential jump of net worth was because of wedding gifts and campaign contributions when he run for Congress. In the interview it was shown that his 5M worth jumped to 76M, then 99M, then more than 120M. Here’s the interview for everyone’s “viewing” pleasure: Mikey Arroyo’s Statement of Election...

Reacting to the photo of him buying liquor at Rustan’s the day after Ondoy, Rep. Mikey Arroyo lashed out against his critics and said that Facebook and other similar mediums should be regulated. In his response, Arroyo said that it was impossible for him to buy the liquor at the height of the storm because the roads were impassable. He goes on to explain that he was in Malacanang helping out in the relief operations for his constituents in Pampanga. Let me just share some of my thoughts on this issue: - The original caption of the picture said that he was spotted the day after Ondoy, not...

Storm “Ondoy” has literally devastated several parts of the Philippines. According to reports on the Inquirer, the storm brought in rains equal to that of a month all in a span of a few hours. That’s the main reason why a lot of areas got flooded. In fact, Ondoy was so bad it beat Katrina which leveled several cities in the US. Other than the disaster this calamity brought, what disturbs me the most is this picture taken of what looks likeRep. Mikey Arroyo the day after Ondoy. In this picture he’s in a liquor store in Katipunan buying alcohol. Photo courtesy of (Author...

A few days ago Rep. Mikey Arroyo showed to the world how corrupt, devious, and immoral their family has become when he miserably tried to defend his SALN declarations during an interview on GMA 7 with Winnie Monsod and Arnold Clavio. If we were in a different country, Arroyo would be facing charges and cases from the office of the Ombudsman right now. However instead of filing cases, the Ombudsman does the unthinkable – they release stricter guidelines for obtaining SALN’s. Instead of defending the Filipino people, the office of the Ombudsman would rather shield corrupt officials from...

This video has been circulating on Facebook again for the past few weeks. If I’m not mistaken, this was taken around 2007-2008 during an episode of Straight Talk with Cito Beltran. This is a rare occurrence of a famous movie star expressing venting his frustration on what’s happening with his country. It’s a real touching and human moment to see him speak like this. I think it’s really timely to watch this again seeing as the 2010 Presidential elections is just around the corner. Just some of the quotes that I liked a lot: Ang daming milyon or bilyon ang umiikot, naitatago,...

In an interview this morning with Winnie Monsod and Arnold Clavio, Rep. Mikey Arroyo literally got butchered on national television during prime time. Just as a background for those who are not aware about the issue, Mikey Arroyo was exposed by a group of journalists when he didn’t declare a multi-million dollar beachfront property in the United States. Mikey Arroyo came out with a barrage of press releases claiming his innocence. However in the interview with Winnie Monsod, Mikey literally committed media suicide. This for me was the winning exchange that really showed the true colors of...

I’ve refrained from talking about this particular issue however I can’t help but give a comment now. Apparently Rep. Mikey Arroyo tried to defend his mother for eating at expensive restaurants ($20,000 tab) while in the US for her meeting with President Obama. In last night’s episode of TV Patrol, Rep. Mikey Arroyo asked this question to the media – “Do you want your President to eat in Mcdonald’s or some turo-turo?” I’m sorry but the Arroyo family desperately needs a good Public Relations Manager or Consultant. The son of the President probably just...
