Villar's father was a government employee and his mother owns a seafood wholesale business. I don't think that would qualify his family to be "poor" by any Philippine standard. Villar also claimed that he's born in Tondo, therefore "poor." Tondo is an old town and used to have its own ruler before the Spaniards arrived. There are notable Filipionos who were born in Tondo and they're not poor by any means. Villar passes himself as poor boy who became rich and concocting a "rags to riches" story. He is a charlatan and should stop spreading all these lies about himself. He is not "pro-poor" as he claims to be. On the contrary, his wealth was built on allegations of land-grabbing and questionable actions using his government positions as Congressman, Speaker, Senator, and Senate President in the past 17 years. Villar should be exposed for what he really is. Best, Perry For Manny Villar to claim that his family is poor is like saying that all government employees were poor. Villar’s father was a government employee and his mother owns a seafood wholesale business. I don’t think that would qualify his family to be “poor” by any Philippine standard.

Villar also claimed that he’s born in Tondo, therefore “poor.” Tondo is an old town and used to have its own ruler before the Spaniards arrived. There are notable Filipionos who were born in Tondo and they’re not poor by any means.

Villar passes himself as poor boy who became rich and concocting a “rags to riches” story. He is a charlatan and should stop spreading all these lies about himself. He is not “pro-poor” as he claims to be. On the contrary, his wealth was built on allegations of land-grabbing and questionable actions using his government positions as Congressman, Speaker, Senator, and Senate President in the past 17 years.

Villar should be exposed for what he really is.

Best,
Perry

By Mark Alegre: View from a point Global Pinoy!!! Salamat Mr. Esposo,you gave an insight of what poor is all about in your view. With the information shared, I truly appreciate your effort and those that shared what they know about the man. As pictured in the featured article,"Is Villar really poor"? In the blog with 11 on a household eating corned beef is a luxury, or does it means Villar's family not poor? Hmmmm. Pag-aari ng nikiladong(stainless) jeep status symbol!!! Wow, in the blog, it really share the glimpse of the life of the man who like to share his talent, expertise, scholastic education, schools which he attended [catholic parochial,Mapua Institute of Technology UP college of Business Administration and Graduate Studies Master's Degree ] Phenomenal!!! Hard work, he did it on his own despite being eldest in the family helped his family's Fish vendor business. From graduation from High school to Master's Degree it took 11 years, he did not stop, he got perseverance. This is a very admirable virtue of perseverance; a glimpse of the man who like to be president of the. Philippines. It's really gives us hope, those of us who are poor in similar situation that everything is possible for anybody who like to succeed; given Villar's educational and work experience. Villar is an epitome of character, strength and perseverance of an ordinary guy who wants to succeed. In a degree, this blog help us makes that discerning decision who to choose; considering all aspect of choosing the president who will serve the best interest of the people, the dispossesed, and those that lack a voice and representation in the seat of power. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime. If the common tao wakes up to this opportunity and reality, and not succumb to the wiles of selling their vote or confused by black propaganda but firmly hold on to the principle that their vote could change the lives of their children and their children's children, the choice is Villar. Those of us born before 1946, remember that World War II devastated our country, we had been forced to war not of our making but America who was fighting the containment of Communism. The independence gain in the commonwealth gave Quezon the presidency. America's occupation from 1903, gave us a glimpse of freedom, liberty and culture of openness, honesty and frugality. My Father who served the call of duty like others served well and share stories that the American regime were strict in discipline that if a municipal treasurer got audited and embezzled or found short, he would go to jail. It also enshrined Quezon's message in the mind of the generation after that it's better that the Philippine be governed by Pilipino like hell than like heaven by Americans. It was a curse that embedded to the minds of Pinoy generation after to this day. Subsequently, what are we in power Avelino's rethoric gave credence of what power. and how such abuse of power could be used to punish political opponents, a tool of which gravitate business people go to politics to further their influence that gave rise to behest loans for the few that were influencial and big wigs in the arena of politics.The nation's colonial past weaned from 333 years of colonial Spain,43 years of American tutorship, 3 years Japanese occupation until July 4, 1946 began to seek its identity. The Pilipino nation had gone to a lot. Imagine, 333 years of Spanish occupation and Pilipinos didn't learn spanish language? On the other hand; America shared their language, built Gabaldon schools and sent missionaries of protestant christian faith that enriched our culture, and yet activist today gloat on the idea that the Americans are imperialist forgetting the Americans gave us independence and a taste of the American way of life and open its door for immigration. Going back to Villar, as painted in the blog; he was raised in the era of difficult times, not a squatters or payatas kid, but of industrious parents who want the best for their family and work hard to educate their children. That was a noble fete. I was six years old when Villar was born; my recollection of the hardship of the times lumps everybody were in the boat, we ate mantikang baboy",saluyot, malungay, isda, talbos ng sitao, kalabasa at paminsan minsay corned beef with sotanghon parang makakain ng(5) lima sa pamilia. That was a rare food and truly that corn beef would be reserved for important visitors or occasions. Maybe, we might be considered rich (ancestry) because my grandfather a six grade drop out was abe to send his daughter to Philippine Womens University and got college education for (6) children four school teacher and I lawyer, my dad. But the point I want to emphasize is and always is Villar epitomize possibilities and role modeling fora family and the youth today. Your dad's story of honesty seems to me a fairy tale or misplaced delicadeza. I am sure that had he taken the opportunity maybe life would have been better for you today.. In contrast, your dad's story give me a glance of what opportunist the Aquino-Cojuangco familylies are; The Donya Luisita Hacienda was bought for 6 million from the government during the Magsaysay presidency on instalment if my memory serve me right. I would add that it is certainly foolhardy not to use wise judgment when given the opportunity, thus would it be too bad if Villar took the same opportunity of getting rich not at the expense of Juan de la Cruz but the opportunity arises and grabbed it? The issue which refuse ro go away address impropriety and moral conflict which any businessman that have common sense would grab if given the same opportunity. I would add that for the sake of argument, the senator and congresspeople reneged in their responbility if there were laws that they were aware that with due deligence could had prevented the consumation of the issue of impropriety. Which is why I for one like to know the names of those who approved the law that created the C-5 and the issue it entail.Those involved must be censured and voted out of office. Access was granted to the welfare of 6 million resident that benefited in C-5) extension without tool payment, such beneficiaries will vote for Villar election time. The neophyte senator, Gamby Madrigal running for president herself is exposing herself as graftbuster but her scheme is shallow, thinking maybe that she can picture herself as such but we the people will not be fooled. I would like to know if Gamby voted for the approval of the law that approved C-5 extention, if so exposes her lack of due deligence in her obligation with others who pursue the issue after the fact. Obviously such grandstanding is passe` and their motives suspicious. Email:Rajah1211@aolm.com. Mark Alegre Advocate for good government and citizen awareness.
