The Ampatuans
Military authorities say the Ampatuan family whose members are working in government as governors, vice governors, mayors, vice mayors, etc. probably owns as many as 23 houses in Maguindanao, Davao City and Metro Manila, including several mansions. Now we know why they call it “internal” revenue allotment.
Reports say Andal Ampatuan Sr. and his children probably own as many as 23 houses in Maguindanao, Davao City, and Metro Manila. The only other Filipino who’s got more is Manny Villar.
The Ampatuans II
According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, in one Ampatuan compound alone, soldiers found a Hummer, a Toyota Land Cruiser, a Chevrolet Suburban, a GMC truck, two Toyota Hi-Lux pick-ups, a Ford F150, an Isuzu D-Max pick-up, a Toyota Hi-Ace van and two military trucks. A separate raid on Andal Ampatuan Jr.’s compound yielded nine funeral cars.

ISANG LINGGONG PAGHIBIK
The Commission on Elections’ recent ruling against Isabela Governor Grace Padaca and “Ang Ladlad” inspired this parody of an Imelda Papin hit.
Before start singing, click here for musical accompaniment.
Lunes…
”Ang Ladlad” ay ibinasura.
Martes…
Natanggal si Jonjon Mendoza.
Miyerkules…
Na-unseat si Grace Padaca.
Huwebes…
Among Ed? Next na ba siya?
Biyernes
Ay puno ng pakiramdaman
Si Jesse Robredo ay sadyang nahintakutan
Sabado
’Tinuloy kanilang pagbibilang
At pagsapit ng Linggo sino kayang mapupuruhan?
Refrain:
O kay lupit naman ng Comelec
Ruling nito ay sadyang kay bagsik
Natulog kaming pwesto ang kapiling
Ngunit wala na nang kami’y gumising
O kay lupit, Nicodemo Ferrer
Kung umasta para kang si Hitler
Ang ruling mo’y sadya ngang kay saklap
Sa isang iglap lang, tanggal na ang lahat!
Have a great week ahead!

seems that penaflorida will be going for the LP candidates.
I wonder how many houses more Manny V has than all the presidential candidates combined?
Millions to date, since he started the Camella-Palmera business.
But these, he sells for a profit.
A minuscule percentage, he gives out for free to game show contestants for self-”advertising” purposes.
re the ampatuans profligacy – kanya naman kahit ubusan ng lahi kakasa wag lang matangal sa poder. iba-iba lang pangalan at lugar na sinasakupan pero parepareho lang trapo halos kahit saan ka pumunta sa pinas.
cnn hero robbed?
ano daw? sa naia?
yes, parang ako ata nauna ngaun(it pays to be awake @330 am)… another great song., mukhang kinacareer mo na ang pagiging song composer…
grabe din ang yaman ng mga ampatuan. just how could you get so rich from so poor a province as Maguindanao? the filthy rich-poor divide is downright obvious there.
on padaca et al, sad and dreadful reality that it’s really hard for us to trust or pin our hopes on an “impartial” comelec. btw, heckler you’re really, really good! maysakit ka pa nyan ha? sayang, i wasn’t able to watch last night ang aga kasi ng work ko today, sana may reruns.
nice parody! nakakainis talaga ang comelec. dapat tawag sa kanila Commission on Electioneering o kaya Electioneering for a Commission!
Hindi dapat tawag sa Comelec ay:
give me a COMMISSION? or ELECTION?
Di totoong magkaalyado si GMA at ang mga Ampatuan, magkalaban sila …sa padamihan ng mansion
coz ampatuans are druglords, they supply mindanao with all the illegal narcotics. you can’t *ehem* earn that much money from government coffers, even if you’re stealing half of the province’s funds you can’t afford that lifestyle.
take a look at villar, do seriously think all his monies come from the government? no, it’s mostly from his business which is of course boosted by the very fact that he’s in the government.
Dpat kasi minadali ng Comelec ung recount………granting tama ang kanilang findings………..mali namn ang timing………kaya yan, iba ang nasa isipan ng madlang people.
PH , ur not only a sensational blogger but u can give Lito Camo a run for his money. galing mong mag-compose and I did click the link for the musical accompaniment. nyahahahaha…it’s a relief getting some laughs at these times.
thnkx….
on imelda’s quote – yeah so petty but why not share it to the ‘beautiful’ filipino people.
ampatuans’ riches – AMP!!!!
happy holidays people. be spending it alone…..whew!!!
@comelec – huli man at magaling, huli parin. ilang buwan na lang ang natitira, may appeal pa yan kaya tamang-tama sa eleksyon resolve na yan.
@ampatuans – Gandang negosyo talaga ang gobyerno. Laki na ng kita mo, may private army kapa.
@bro eddie – sa interview ni ted failon, sabi niya siniguro daw ni gloria na makulelat siya. bukod sa dinaya ni gma si fpj, dinaya rin daw sya. wtf.
PH i didnt know you were an Imelda Papin fan… kuhang kuha ang rhythm ng lyrics! heheh
Move over Lito Camo, here comes PH!
Because I guess, it is only in the Philippines where Election Losers are rewarded.
Yan ay para sa mga legit miscounts lang ha.
Is there a law that penalizes the wrongly declared winner (read: cheater)?
ANG kinaiinisan ko sa Commission on Electioneering, pipili na lang sila ng i-haharass yung mga matinong governors pa. Ang ipupwesto nila, TRAAAAAPPPOOOOOOOO! Sige nga. Pari na halos walang pangampanya, mandadaya. Broadcaster na naka-saklay, mandadaya. Nanangkupoooo…
[Pero yung mga trapo, hindi nila sinisipa. Nakakainis talaga!]
[Pero feeling ko Second Division lang ang Commission on Electioneering. Sila ang naglabas ng decision ukol sa Ang Ladlad at kay Truly Elected Padaca. Nicodemo Ferrer pa!]
Penaflorida should be given a post in the DECS. I bet he would do something to improve the sad state of public school textbooks. the candidates should consider making him part of their administration. wag lang sya dumikit masyado kina Noy at Mar. di pa sila surewin at this point.
During the Dons/Mafia days, the biggest fishes weren’t convicted of the murders they committed but the way how they amassed their unexplained wealth.
If only the office of the Ombudsman perform their duties righteously, our jails would have been overcrowded already of these filthiest criminals sa bansa natin. All this Merciditas Gutierrez had to do is look at the SAL of these filthy rich criminals (including Mikee Arroyo).
I won’t be surprised at all if all the Ampatuans will be cleared of murder and rebellion charges, buti pa money laundering and tax evasion na lang dahil di mo na kailangang maghanap ng evidence.
What’s up with Comelec? Governor Grace padaca lost to a mere margin of 1051 votes? You did better with the ” One Million Votes “….
9 funeral cars? i thought there were 57 funeral cars? :p
In one Ampatuan compound alone, soldiers discovered a Hummer, a Toyota Land Cruiser, a Chevrolet Suburban, a GMC truck, two Toyota Hi-Lux pick-ups, a Ford F150, an Isuzu D-Max pick-up, a Toyota Hi-Ace van and two mil itary trucks…Prompting Mikey Arroyo to ask if all these were also wedding gifts. He also got so jealous that he plans to marry his wife again.
Come on, Ampatuans are Muslims. They can be married more than once…
ang sabi nga no kingdom exist forever, except the KINGDOM OF GOD, alam ba yan ni PGMA , hala
hahaha Napakanta na naman ako. Pero bakit ganon? Parang ang mga “biktima” lang ng Comelec ay yung nag-bolt sa Adminstration… hmmmm
napakanta mo ako dun ah… hehehe
am still sad because of my father’s death (oct 18, 2009) followed by my mother’s (nov 19, 2009), but your blog made me smile.
this comelec talaga, esp the 2nd division. it reminds me of that song popular during my parents’ younger days: “How much is that doggie in the window, arf- arf!”
take care and happy holidays. you are great!
danton
Hi PH, if the Ampatuans are that rich by just being governors and mayors, i can’t help but wonder how much more our City Mayors, Senators, Congressmen, Department Heads and their minions in public works, customs, et
prof. danton condolence, napakalungkut naman nagkasunod, siguru very very closed sila – siyempre naman ano?
antabay silang lalu sa iyu nyan
sige tawatawa nalang tayo, kesa sa matulad tayung mga sira ang ulo; sira na nga ang gubierno masira pati tayo?
kaya pala nauubos ang kayamanan ng kalikasan dahil sa mga mansion nila, how obscene talaga
Commission on Electioneering~ haha! nice! talaga naman ah.
Solomonic solution to Pacquiao steroids issue:
Why go for the random but intrusive blood and urine test?
Why not do a 100% non-intrusive test – how?
Assign a personal maid (Krista?) to keep close watch every time Pacquiao goes to the toilet and collect all of his shit and piss; for hair sample, his shavings everytime he shaves. Perhaps include his sweat when he perspire. Send them all to Mayweather so it can be analyzed. Do it throughout the training period.
If Pacquiao is taking anything, they’re bound to find out after disecting all these samples. No need for blood.
