Na naman? KAMPO NI VP BINAY AT ANTONIO TIU HULING NAGSINUNGALING NA NAMAN?

Ni Manny Pinol
May kasabihan ng mga matatanda na “Walang usok na puedeng kimkimin.”
Pagkatapos ng kanilang sunod-sunod na pahayag bilang pagtatanggol kay Vice President Jejomar Binay sa mga alegasyon na nagkamal ito ng salapi at namili ng malawak na lupain sa Batangas at rest house sa Tagaytay Highlands, muli naging abala ang kampo ng Pangalawang Pangulo pagkatapos lumabas ang isyu na may babaeng nagngangalang Grace Martinez na syang namili ng lupa ni Binay.
Ang ulat tungkol sa mahiwagang babae na si Grace Martinez ay inilabas ng TV Patrol ng ABS-CBN kagabi.
Ayong sa TV Patrol report ni Henry Omaga-Diaz si Grace Martinez diumano ang nag-ahente sa pamimili ng mga lupain na ngayon ay bahagi ng kontrobersyal na Hacienda Binay.
Heto ang link sa TV Patrol report sa youtube.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6eqbnfLjAE…
Kaagad pinabulaanan ni Antonio Tiu, isang Chinese-Filipino businessman na umangkin sa Hacienda Binay bilang kanyang pag-aari, at sinabing empleyada nya si Grace Martinez subali’t wala itong koneksyon sa mga Binay.
Subali’t katulad ng mga nangyari sa naunang pahayag ni Vice President Binay na hindi kanya ang Hacienda Binay na pinasinungalingan ng isang tape recorded interview ni Raissa Robles ng South China Morning Post at ng matandang sakitin na si Maria Guico, mukhang sabit na naman ang bagong depensa ng kampo Biinay.
Merong mga nagpadala sa akin ng iilang mga larawan ng isang babaeng sinasabi nilang si Grace Martinez na kasama nya mismo si Vice President Binay.
Kasama sa mga larawan ay isang screengrab ng Facebook page ng isang Grace Cueto Martinez na kung saan ay kinakamusta sya ng isang kaibigan na nagtanong kung sya na ba ang right hand man ni VP Binay.
Wala akong pamamaraan na makumpirma kung ang Grace Martinez sa larawang pinadala sa akin at ang Grace Martinez na kasama sa kontrobersya ngayon ay iisa.
Pero sa kawalan ng ibang patunay, inilalabas ko itong mga larawan na ito upang makumpirma o mapabulaanan.
Sya ba ang Grace Martinez na ahente ng mga lupaing diumanoy binili ni Vice President?
Kung sya nga, isa na namang pagsisinungaling ang ating na nadiskubre sa pamamagitan ng tulong ng mga taong ang adhikain ay pumili ng lider na matapat sa Dios, sa tao at sa bayan.

21-Year-Old Cotabato Airport: Sad Story Of Childish Politics Twenty-one years after work on the Cotabato Rural Airport was started and 15 years after the Runway and Terminal Building construction were completed, it remains unused, a sad testament to the evils of petty and childish politics which had prevailed in North Cotabato. For people to truly understand this tragic narrative of a project which could have brought progress to the province, here is the historical account of the Mlang Airport Project: 1. I was a young Mayor of Mlang (1995-1998) when I envisioned the growth of my town into an agro-industrlialized city and thought an Airport would be critical in realizing that vision; 2. With the help of the Vice Mayor then, Luigi Buenaflor Cuerpo, whose family owned most of the areas in the former Hacienda de Tomas Buenaflor, I presented the idea to the elders of the clan and they loved the idea but since there were no funds available for the project, it remained just a dream; 3. In 1998, after one term as Mayor of Mlang, I was elected Governor of North Cotabato and I pursued the vision of building an airport in my hometown; 4. In 2003, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan authorized the purchase of 62 hectares of land in the former Hacienda Buenaflor for the purpose of building the airport; 5. With an initial P30-M Grant Fund which was provided by then Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo sourced from the Department of Energy (which at the time, operated the Mt. Apo Geothermal Project), the project was started in 2004; 6. By 2007, my term as Governor ended and I was succeeded by Governor Jesus N. Sacdalan. I served as his Vice Governor. Gov. Sacdalan continued the project; 7. In 2009, the Runway and Terminal Building of the Mlang Airport were completed and Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo arrived for the blessing and inauguration; 8. In the 2010 elections, Gov. Sacdalan ran for Congress in the 1st District of the Province while I attempted to regain the Governorship but I lost to then Congresswoman Emmylou Taliño-Santos (now Mendoza); That was when work at the Airport was stopped and to justify the suspension of the Airport Development, the new administration claimed that the documents covering the purchase of the land were not perfect. I was accused of owning the land which was, of course, ridiculous and false. It was also claimed that the project was started without a Feasibility Study which again is a big lie, for how would it be given a budget if there was no study conducted. In fact, I made a public declaration that I was willing to help perfect the documents if they needed my signature on the alleged incomplete documents but my offer was ignored. In 2019, when former Congresswoman Nancy Catamco won as Governor, the alleged missing documents were recovered or reconstructed and perfected. That was when work was started again in the airport. Unfortunately, in 2022, Gov. Catamco lost in a tightly contested election to then Vice Governor Emmylou Taliño-Mendoza before she could turn over the Airport Land Property which is owned by the Provincial Government to the Dept. of Transportation and the Civil Aeronautics Authority of the Philippines for it to be operational. The incumbent Governor is the Chairman of the Regional Development Council and she could have given utmost priority to the completion of Airport. Access to funds for the completion of the project would not be difficult because Speaker Martin Romualdez is the nephew-in-law of her husband, TUCP Partylist Congressman Raymond Mendoza. The real reason why the Mlang Airport Development has dragged for 21 years is because it is identified as the Brainchild and Pet Project of former Governor Manny Piñol and the current leadership dread the thought of seeing planes loaded with passengers and fruits from Cotabato to the big cities and the people giving credit to Piñol for initiating the project. The airport is for the people of North Cotabato now and the next generation and I would not care if she names it after her grandfather or whoever. This narrative is my account of the real story behind the delay in the completion of the Central Mindanao Airport which I know will be refuted by the other party. So, here is my challenge: Let’s hold a Public Debate/Forum on the real and true reasons behind the delay in the completion of the Central Mindanao Airport. I am willing to face anybody from their side in that debate, anytime and anywhere. The People of North Cotabato deserve to know the truth. #WeDontOwnGovernment! #TheTruthWillSetUsFree!
