Another Burden

Image courtesy of www.irregulartimes.com

The fate of Troubled Star TS remains to be very uncertain at this point. The many crisis that she has to endure are not only tough, but very, very tough. Along the way, the people close to her are the casualty of it all.

TS had been through hell and back - the agony she could have avoided had she been more circumspect. She’s into very troubled times for so long now that insiders believe that if she continues to ignore the words of her advisers, TS might be fast digging her own grave.

What’s worse, TS’ lack of projects seems to compound her problems even more. Reportedly, her management had given up on her because they felt that TS is just unmanageable at this point.

Yet the public compassion goes out to her children who are made to endure the blows in their young lives.

Since TS has major problems as well, her financial drain is making it very difficult for her to pay the people to help her attend to these problems. For quite a long time now, she is hardly getting by. Fortunately or unfortunately for TS, the Person in Charge PC of her problems fully understands her predicament – but for a price.

PC has reportedly taken over not only of TS’ problems, but to a great extent, her personal life, too. Was reliably informed that PC was seen bringing TS to a hotel somewhere in Ortigas for some ‘privacy.’ Reportedly, TS was seeking her elders for help, but their hands are tied, helpless about the situation.

Talks have it that TS is also often forced to do things against her will, and that she needs to take ‘something’ before she can do what PC expects her to do.

PC has taken some roles, too, sometimes seen bringing loved ones of TS to the place where they need to be. Maybe this explains why PC is sooo into her – hook, line and sinker.

Tearful Napoles was surrounded by Jesus' and Virgin Mary's images during meeting

The written testimony submitted by alleged pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim Napoles has "a lot of details" and signifies her intention to spill more beans and become a state witness, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said Tuesday.

In a press conference, De Lima confirmed meeting with suspected "pork barrel" scam mastermind at the Ospital ng Makati before Napoles underwent a surgery for a myoma on her uterus on Monday night.

"There are more details, more information from Mrs. Napoles. ... But not everything. Mrs. Napoles appears to know these things. But I cannot share with you the details," De Lima said.

She also admitted that Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr. and Jinggoy Estrada are tagged in Napoles' statement.

Asked if Napoles backed the Department of Justice's (DOJ) plunder charge against the three main respondents in the multi-billion peso embezzlement scheme, De Lima answered, "Yes, absolutely."

De Lima similarly confirmed that some of the names Napoles disclosed are already respondents in the case submitted before the Office of the Ombudsman, which has elevated the proceedings to the Sandiganbayan.

The justice secretary said that Napoles also disclosed some "documentary evidence" during their five-hour meeting.

De Lima arrived at the hospital around 11 p.m. Monday and left at around 3 a.m. Tuesday.

The justice secretary refused to confirm whether Napoles tagged other senators in the pork barrel fund scam.

De Lima said that she was confident that Napoles' testimony provides valuable information, but clarified that the alleged scam mastermind still has to undergo further questioning by the National Bureau of Investigation.

"There will be further sessions with her ... We need to get those additional facts and details. Ayaw namin sayangin ang pagkakataong ito," she said.

The official also recounted her conditions for agreeing to meet with Napoles, whom she said has been sending the DOJ "feelers" during the past week.

"To tell all on pork scam. Ayoko na may iba pa siyang kakusapin [and] no commitment to make her state witness," De Lima said.

De Lima said she entered the hospital room where Napoles was "tearful" and was praying the Rosary. She was also surrounded by images of the Virgin Mary and Jesus.

"Sabi niya she is now coming clean. She was tearful when she saw me," De Lima recounted.

She believes that detained businesswoman decided to divulge what she knows as she was anxious of her impending operation for myoma.

Accused in Vhong Navarro Case Turns vs Cedric Lee, Deniece Cornejo

The case surrounding the mauling of Vhong Navarro took a crucial turn on Monday after it was learned that one of the seven persons facing criminal charges is seeking to turn state witness and reveal the alleged plan to beat up the actor on the night of January 22.

According to Justice Secretary Leila de Lima, one of the male accused, whom she did not name, has applied to become a state witness to detail an alleged "Oplan Bugbog" planned by the group of businessman Cedric Lee.

"I cannot divulge yet the name, kasi kung malaman nung iba, lalo na 'yung pinaka-principal na accused, baka may balakin," de Lima said. "And he is really very scared, umiiyak nga nang umiiyak so we will announce in due time. Maybe tomorrow. Ipa-fast track naman ang application."

The others accused in the mauling are Deniece Cornejo, Bernice Lee, Simeon Raz, Jed Fernandez, Jose Paolo Calma and Ferdinand Guerrero.

Last week, arrest warrants for all seven were issued by the Taguig Metropolitan Trial Court in connection with the criminal charge of grave coercion.

On Monday, arrest warrants for the non-bailable offense of serious illegal detention were issued by the Taguig Regional Trial Court against the group, with the exception of Calma and Bernice Lee.

'Prepared to tell all'

De Lima said the application of one of the accused to turn state witness is now being processed. However, she stressed that it is still up to the court whether to grant it.

"He is now being handled by the witness protection program. This accused will be narrating -- I have seen his draft affidavit -- the entire incident, beginning with the planning.

"There was a planning made by the group of Cedric Lee. Ang sabi nga 'Oplan Bugbog.' So from the planning to the actual incident, he is prepared to tell all," she said.

De Lima added that the account of this accused, while still up for evaluation, will strengthen the case against Lee and the rest.

"It applies premeditation, evident premeditation... It bolsters the findings of consipracy and kung sinu-sino talaga ang bumugbog nang todo-todo, sakop 'yan," she said.

Still More of the Same

Wherever she is, expect that she will disappoint. That has been her signature for years, a common perception of most people around her.

This is Controversial Star CS whose image is undergoing some serious overhaul. Observers believe that no amount of repackaging will work if the old attitudes haven’t left.

When CS made a major career move, it was then that the public saw some relevant changes in her. She had become more visible on television and social media. It was evident that she was a lot busier, her hands full with more stuff that had eluded her for years: projects, social invitations and charitable/civic concerns, and most of all, endorsements.

Indeed, it was a welcome change and a big turnaround for her. Her fans and followers couldn’t be happier. That being said, CS believes that the ball is now on her court to prove herself to her public, especially to skeptics, that she is deserving of it all.

CS Drama Series DS was to be a test case. It was no surprise that DS, with a casting coup and staffed with the network’s most talented, was heavily trumpeted and expectations were really high.

Yet weeks after DS premiered, the high momentum had lost its grip fast. Currently, DS is reportedly on anemic mode - as in doing badly in the ratings game. Hardly are commercial loads, which are the lifeline of any tv shows, coming in. Last heard was that it is now up on the chopping board.

Though mad and hurt, CS is tough, still in fighting form. Reportedly, she argued and blamed the network for the fate of DS saying that its shows fail because it doesn’t promote its programs the way its Rival Network RN does. CS said that RN is so good at hyping up and building viewers’ interest even if the show’s material is bad, or is rating poorly.

Allegedly, CS uttered something that sounded like it was okay for her if the network chops her show as long as that show of Hot Momma HM goes ahead of hers. And to top it all, CS further argued that the series of arch rival from RN had to be the first to go among the three (3) of them.

Reportedly, it is for this reason why DS was extended further. Tough act. If this is so, the power that CS wields is quite intriguing. Hmmm…

Note that all the mentioned series were launched simultaneously.

Arrest Warrants Out vs Cedric Lee, 4 Others for Serious Illegal Detention

Accused wants to turn state witness, bare 'Oplan Bugbog'

A Taguig court has issued arrest warrants against model Deniece Cornejo, businessman Cedric Lee and three others accused in the mauling of actor-TV host Vhong Navarro.

The arrest warrants were issued by Judge Paz Esperanza Cortes of the Taguig Regional Trial Court Branch 271 against Cornejo, Lee, Jed Fernandez, Simeon Raz Jr. and Ferdinand Guerrero in connection with the serious illegal detention case filed by Navarro.

Serious illegal detention is a non-bailable offense.

According to Chief Supt. Jose Erwin Villacorte of the Southern Police District, they received the arrest warrants at around 12 noon.

Villacorte refused to comment on why the two others accused in the case -- Bernice Lee and Jose Calma -- are not included in the arrest warrants issued by the court.

"Subject pa to further evaluation," Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said. "It means the judge made her own independent evaluation of the facts and the evidence. Ipapa-evaluate ko 'yan sa panel of prosecutors namin, if there's need to file motion for partial reconsideration or a motion reiterrating the previous motion for the issuance of warrants of arrest against everybody kung hindi sakop lahat."

Meanwhile, de Lima said one of the males accused in the mauling is seeking to turn state witness and tell all regarding a supposed "Oplan Bugbog," which he said was planned by Lee, Cornejo and their group.

The January 22 incident took place at Cornejo's condominium unit in Taguig. Navarro was tied up, blindfolded and mauled by the group, and was then brought to the Southern Police District where he was made to sign a blotter that details his supposed attempt to rape Cornejo.

Last week, arrest warrants in connection with the criminal charge of grave coercion were issued against Lee's group.

Cornejo and Fernandez have since posted P12,000 bail for the grave coercion case.
