BIR Commissioner Joel Tan kulang sa pansin!
Sa tuwing nakukulangan ng
pansin ang BIR at nais nitong
magpasikat, nagpapa-presscon
ang kanilang commissioner at
nagbabantang tutugisin ang
mga celebrities sa showbiz na
hindi nagbabayad ng buwis.
Kung sino man ang publi-
cist ni BIR Commissioner Joel
Tan, magaling ang tarantadong
ito at alam niya kung sino ang
mga gagamiting tao para
sumikat agad ang kanyang amo.
Tama nga naman, kapag
sinabi kasi ng BIR sa kanilang
mga press releases na tutugisin
nila ang mga Tsekwa sa Binondo
na hindi nagbabayad ng buwis
iyon ay di pag-iinteresan.
At di rin puwedeng basta
na lang ipa-dyaryo nila ang mga
Chinoy dahil sila ang mga
ginagawang gatasan ng mga
taga-BIR at kapag napahiya
baka gumanti at magsumbong
sa media kung magkano ang
tinatapal nilang pera sa mga
matatakaw na examiner ng BIR.
Isang magandang
halimbawa ay ang kumpanyang
BEST FEEDS na ang main of-
fice ay nakabase sa Navotas.
Ayon sa records ng BIR ang
nasabing kumpanya ay
nagkakautang ng lampas sa
P200 million sa buwis.
Election theme song – money, money, money
IT looks like that the 2010
elections will be decided not
by the number of votes but by
the zeroes in a candidate’s bank
account. And most probably
this could be the most expen-
sive election ever in the history
of Philippine politics. In a re-
port released by the Philippine
Center for Investigative Jour-
nalism (PCIJ), six (6) of the top
presidential wannabes have al-
ready spent over P2 billion for
their political ads since Novem-
ber 2009 until January 2010,
and half of the total amount
represents the “adspend” of
the Nacionalista Party stan-
dard- bearer Sen. Manny Villar.
The PCIJ pointed out that a

Mahigit tatlong Letter of
Authority (LOA) na ang
naipapadala ng BIR sa
tanggapan ng BEST FEEDS
para bayaran ang nasabing
halaga. Ginagawa na ngayon
na raket ng BIR sa Navotas
ang magpadala ng LOA sa BEST
FEEDS para kumita ng limpak-
limpak na tong.
Kamakailan isang examiner
ng BIR Navotas ang nakipagkita
sa isang representante ng BEST
FEEDS sa isang five star hotel
sa Maynila para pag-usapan
umano ang mangyayaring
aregluhan para sa lahat ng
outstanding LOA nito, ayon sa
isang source. Humihingi daw
ng P12 million ang nasabing
examiner kapalit ng pagbubura
sa P200 million na utang ng
BEST FEEDS sa records ng BIR.
***
Noong nakaraang Sabado,
February 20, lumabas ang press
release ni Commissioner Tan
sa isang broadsheet tungkol sa
presidential candidate’s maxi-
mum campaign spending must
not exceed P500 million or P10
per voter. Take note that Villar
posted a total airtime of 1,454
minutes on two top tv stations
only, excluding other free and
cable tv stations, before the start
of the campaign period.
Hindi kataka-takang isipin
kung bakit halos pumantay
siya sa survey rating ni
Noynoy kasi nga halos binili
na niya ang buong estasyon.
Pagbukas mo pa lang ng tv sa
umaga kukuliliin na ng

pagsasampa ng BIR ng kaso
laban sa teen actress na si Shaina
Magdayao dahil sa hindi raw
pagsumite nito ng kanyang
income statement para sa taong
2007.
Kung hindi ba naman
saksakan ng pagka-payaso
nitong si Commissioner Tan,
bakit pag-iinitan niya ang isang
dalagita na kumikita lamang
ng barya-barya samantalang
marami naman diyang mga
Tsekwa na kumikita ng bilyun-
bilyon?
Halimbawa dito ay si Andy
Co, ang may-ari ng BEST FEEDS.
Kung i-check lang daw ni Com-
missioner Tan sa records ng BIR
wala siyang makikitang
binabayaran na personal in-
come tax itong si Co para sa
kinikita ng kumpanya nito na
umaabot sa P3 billion kada taon.
Baka hindi rin alam ni Com-
missioner Tan na si Co ang
totoong may-ari ng building na
inuupahan ngayon ng DOTC.
Baka hindi rin alam ni Com-
missioner Tan na si Co ay isa
sa mga wheat cartel ng bansa.
At baka hindi rin alam ni
Commissioner Tan na si Co ang
isa sa mga tinaguriang umano’y
big time smuggler ng mga wheat
sa bansa.
Manny ang kanyang
deklarasyon ukol sa kanyang
campaign fund. Marami pa
nga ang nagdududa na medyo
diskwentado pa ang suma ng
PCIJ sa naturang “adspend”
at kahit na ‘yung kabo sa
jueteng namin sa Laguna ay
nagsasabing higit pa sa
nalathala ang ginastos at
gagagastusin pa.
What’s more interesting to
note is not the amount of money
that a candidate would spend
for his campaign because this
is one of the requirements of
the Comelec to be admitted as
an “official candidate” or you
will be declared a nuisance
without it, the issue here is the
Fair Election Practices Act or
Republic Act no. 9006. Sobra-
sobra na sila or over-the-limit
na sa kanilang ginastos at isa
pa malayo pa ang official cam-
paign period ng nilustay nila

cusing POLICE INSPECTOR
NESTOR PALTING and some
of his corrupt men of extor-
tion. Humihingi ng lagay? I
was told that they are also
allegedly protecting illegal
gambling in their jurisdiction.
Personally, I don't believe that Palting would resort to small-
time corruption. Posible pa itong si PO1 Garcia na mahilig
mambatok ng sidecar boy pag lasing. Also, anybody who
has a grudge against Palting and his men can easily concoct
allegations against them. What I know is that he had the
pedicabs of my drunkard brother confiscated last week. Wala
tuloy nakain ang mga anak ng kapatid ko kasi kinuha ang
kabuhayan nila. What I know is that what Palting and this
nameless PO1 Garcia did was an obvious display of arro-
gance and abuse of authority.
Going back to extortion allegations, perhaps Palting does
not know that his men are using his name and the names of
their bosses in their extortion activities. "Galing daw po kay
DD (Gen. Sammy Pagdilao) at sa Crame sa mga tao ni Gen.
Verzosa and utos," said one of the drivers who mustered
enough guts to spill the beans.
If the allegations were true, then Palting and his cohorts
have no right manning PCP 8. Kawawa naman ang mga
mahihirap na inaabuso nila. They should be transferred to
Mindanao at once.
ILLEGAL ARREST
Let me give you a backstory however. Last Saturday, Palting
(who was obviously getting back at me and my brother) al-
legedly ordered his men to arrest my brother Mauro "Jun"
Marinay on charges that to this day are non-existent. They
detained him for two hours. I was told Palting would like to
talk to my brother about an incident so they had to put him
behind bars. I find it really amusing and absurd that Palting
entertains his guest by detaining him or her first.
So I requested a friend to call Supt. Florendo Quibuyen,
officer in charge of Caloocan police who was kindhearted
and generous enough to assist me. Thank you very much sir.
I was not surprised though when Gen. Pagdilao was in-
formed about what happened. What reached the good gen-
eral, however, was a "twisted" version of what actuallly tran-
spired.
THERE WAS NO COMPLAINANT SO THERE WAS NO
CASE. IN SHORT, PALTING AND HIS MEN ILLEGALLY
DETAINED MY BROTHER.
Are we filing charges against these crooked cops? We are
mulling over our next action. We feel that Palting and his
men are out to do something sinister and evil the next time.
As I said in my earlier column, they could plant a shabu or
marijuana sachet on my brother or even salvage him.
While Verzosa and Pagdilao have their hands full imple-
menting the PNP Transformation Program, Palting and some
of his men are doing otherwise. They should be investigated
for tarnishing the names of their bosses.

Rediscovering Virgin Coconut Oil Safe swimming

IT is ironic that the abundance of
modern inventions and discoveries
has become proportionate to an in-
crease of health problems and mal-
nutrition—cancer, HIV, bird flu, SARS,
Mad Cow Disease, etc. We expected
modern science to help eradicate dis-
ease- not aggravate it and, in the pro-
cess, spawn a whole slew of new ones.
We were wrong. It is in response
to this that people started going back
to basics. Doctors worldwide, started
encouraging breast feeding to ensure
that infants get proper nutrition and
that their immune system are strength-
ened to face modern living. Our own
Department of Health has already
launched a massive campaign to pro-
mote breastfeeding.
An excerpt from the book of Bruce
Fife, N.D., director of the Coconut Re-
search Center and the author of the
bestseller “The Coconut Oil Miracle”
and “Coconut Cures”, states that”…in
one study with two groups of low birth
weight infants, coconut oil was added
to the formula of one group. The group
that received the coconut oil gained
weight quicker than the group that did
not. The weight gain was due to physi-
cal growth and not fat storage. Hu-
man breast milk contains medium
chain fatty acids and”… these pro-
vides an easy source of nourishment
as well as protection against infec-
tions. The more MCFAs in the milk,
the healthier the baby is likely to
be…would enhance the protective
nature of milk and provide a high
percentage of easily digestible fatty
acids that can promote health and
development…a great deal of nutri-
tional benefits as well as the antimi-
crobial protection”.
Children and adults who were not
breastfed now have the opportunity
to boost their body with the same
nutrients found in mother ’s milk.
Virgin coconut oil, when processed
properly, contains MCFAs which are
also found in human mothers’ breast
milk. Drinking virgin coconut oil gives
you the energy, protects your immune
system and has other health benefits-
all of which an infant gets when he
drinks his mother ’s breast milk.
However, most Filipinos have a
hard time drinking virgin coconut oil
liquid. It is for this reason that Dr.
Eduardo Lalusis, a surgeon and
known researcher on virgin coconut
oil, found a process of encapsulating
cold-process manufactured virgin
coconut oil with the integrity of its
nutrients intact. He introduced
GROWRICH VIRGIN COCONUT
OIL in 500mg. And it was the first
virgin coconut oil 500mg. Capsules
to be approved by our bureau of Food
and Drug (BFAD).
According to Dr. Lalusis, “The
beauty of Growrich vco capsules is
that since it is pure, you only need
to drink 1-2 capsules a day for pre-
vention and maintenance and a
maximum of 6 capsules a day for
those with afflictions versus the sug-
gested dose of the liquid vco of 2-8
tbsp a day. This is because the mol-
ecules of Growrich vco capsules are
not broken down and are intact and
has a higher lauric and capric acid
content than those found in other
forms of vco. A lot of the other vco
available in the market are not pure.
Growrich vco is the easiest way of
drinking vco aside from being the
surest way you can benefit from the
goodness of vco”.
Available in Mercury Drug and
other leading drugstores nationwide,
Growrich Virgin Coconut Oil 500mg
capsules have two text hotlines

for great summer fun
BE safe swimming in pools, rivers and beaches
to have a great summer fun.
The National Association of Independent Travel
Agencies (Naitas) gave this advice as it encour-
ages local and foreign tourists to go on a sum-
mer holiday in pools, rivers and beaches.
Naitas said swimming gives low-cost but high
value adventure as the country abounds with pools,
rivers and beaches far and near. It said some
rivers can be dangerous and it is best to avoid
them unless one is familiar with them.
Safety must come first, Naitas said.
In this connection, it issued the following safety
swimming tips:
Do not swim alone and do not leave a child
unsupervised;
Do not dive into water less than twelve feet
deep;
Do not drink alcohol and swim;
Do not chew gums or eat food while swim-
ming;
Do not push or dunk other swimmers or fool
around with others while swimming;
Do not swim outside designated safe areas;
Do not overestimate one’s swimming ability
and do not depend on flotation devices;
Do not disregard warning signs and do not
swim near cliff edges;
Do not get into the water without first check-
ing depth and current;
Check depth of water and current.
