In fact, she’s even proud of her assets– from her fancy abode to her lavish lifestyle to her designer fashion pieces. It’s part of who she is. What some do not know is that the Queen of All Media is also generous and loves to give back to her fans in her own, simple way. For Thanksgiving Day, she looks back on the past and shared that it was her mother Cory Aquino who taught her about generosity. “Today is Thanksgiving in … And yes, makiki join ako because i have so much to really be grateful for- my mom would always tell me that blessings are more meaningful when you share them w/ others because in that way you honor the generosity of our Creator.” Now that the Holiday season is coming up, Kris announced on her Instagram that she’s celebrating not one, not two, but 12 days of Christmas gift giving to some lucky fans. “So we just finished our 12 days of Christmas gifts from me for all o...

Mar Roxas, again "cleansing hands" in anomalous MRT 3 maintenance deal



Doing what he does best, former Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Mar Roxas excluded himself for the people to blame on the previous administration’s dismissal state of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT 3).



In a text message to Inquirer, Roxas said: “In a word? Pathetic. Dahil walang mapakitang accomplishment sa mga ipinangako, nagimbento ng kasong walang laman, walang basehan sa katotohanan o sa batas para ipakitang may ginagawa sila.”



Roxas was referring to the plunder case filed by Department of Transportation (DOTr) against him and nine other member of former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino’s cabinet due to the allegedly anomalous maintenance deal for the MRT system.



 “I was informed that I have been included in a case filed by the DOTr. According to media reports, I was included because of decisions made by the GPP [Government Procurement Policy] Board of which I was a member in my capacity as secretary,” he said.



“This is laughable on its face. I haven’t received a copy of the complaint and will withhold further comment until I do,” Roxas added.



It could be recalled that on Tuesday, the DOTr filed a graft and violation of government procurement act complaint at the Ombudsman against Roxas, former Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio “Jun” Abaya, former Budget Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad, former Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima, former Energy Secretary Jericho Petilla, former Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin, former Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson, former Science and Technology Secretary Mario Montejo and former National Economic Development Authority chief Arsenio Balisacan.



According to the 64-page complaint, Roxas and Abaya allegedly conspired with other cabinet members on the questionable maintenance contract of the MRT 3 and both of them were also accused as a “fund raiser” of the maintenance program.





The complaint stated:  “[They] set into motion a grand scheme of turning the DOTC as a bottomless cash cow, entering into one anomalous procurement project after the other, in order to amass, accumulate and acquire ill-gotten wealth by taking advantage of their official position, authority and influence to unjustly enrich themselves at the expense and to the damage and prejudice of the Filipino people.”

In his recent Facebook post, Reyes explained their group’s stand on why they needed to gather and took their sentiments on the streets while we have visitors who are leaders from all over the world. Yung bisita na dumating, si US President Donald Trump, ay hindi simpleng “bisita”. May kakaibang panganib siyang dala para sa ating bansa. Nais niyang kaladkarin tayo sa sigalot sa North Korea,” he wrote. Reyes also hit back on those netizens who criticized him for sipping a McDonald’s beverage, “So yung tungkol sa McDo, medyo non sequitur yun.  Masyado namang simplistiko at pinabababaw natin ang mga usapin. Ipokrito agad ang banat? Di ba pwedeng nauhaw lang?” he added. The now tagged as “professional rallyist” also defended those s...
