Looking at Advantages

As the cliché goes, there are no permanent enemies, just interests. An enemy today will be a friend tomorrow and, in some cases, the reverse could happen. Simply put, a person who is ignored in the past can become useful in the future. When Major Achiever (MA) decided to participate in a huge event sometime ago, Go-Getter Volunteer (GV) said she wanted to do her share to assist MA. However, at that time, GV’s offer was rejected, as she had done a provocative project and the camp of MA believed such image would ruin the line-up of MA. So, GV stayed at the sides and wished MA well.
Time flies and this time, MA is almost in the same situation. Between then and now, GV has moved on and has gained so much as an actress. She has matured and eventually shrugged off the sexy image. She has even earned recognition from various organizations. This time, the camp of MA decided to make GV useful. After all, GV has always wanted to be part of MA’s team, so now, she’s openly accepted.
To assure her achieving, MA must work harder, as the people’s perception has changed. When she was mostly admired when she was starting, her reputation became that of someone who plays safe when it comes to critical issues. Instead of showing fire, MA would rather approach issues subtly and most often, not go against the norm, to avoid controversy. Much help is needed to assure that MA has a better image and the way to reach that goal is to make GV part of her team.
When there used to be hate and awkwardness, GV is now visibly part of major celebrations on the part of MA. What was surprising is that it’s not MA who has personally called GV to ask for help. No other than a well-respected figure took time to invite GV. Photos of GV with MA and GV showing involvement in MA’s undertakings are already in social media. Forgiveness and recognition seem to be part of the image that MA is trying to project. Hopefully, by projecting an inclusive image with GV as the main lead, followers will forget MA’s sanitized reactions toward issues.

Repost: P40M of Kris Aquino Invested in Businesses in Thailand, but Trustee is Still Former Financial Manager

Here’s the answer to the P40-million question in the ongoing saga that is Kris Aquino’s legal dust-up with her former business manager, Nicko Falcis.
Where’s the money now?
A source from Aquino’s firm revealed the exclusive information to Lifestyle that the Thai partners of the firm, where the P40-million had been invested, affirmed that Aquino is the rightful owner of the investment.
Eloi Sy, one of Aquino’s lawyers, confirmed Lifestyle’s source’s statement that Aquino’s money had been invested by Falcis in Rocks PC Co., Ltd. (Potato Corner Thailand), which accounts for 10 percent shares in that company.
The source also said that the Thai partners, including actor Pachara “Peach” Chirathivat of the prominent Chirathivat clan of Thailand, have reaffirmed Aquino, through a text message last October, as the “beneficial owner” of the P40-million investment, which was under Falcis’ name. Falcis was Aquino’s trustee.
A trustee has no legal claim to the amount in question, Sy said.
Aquino’s Thai business partners, the source said, informed her that after a meeting with Falcis, they have “agreed and established” that Aquino is the rightful owner of the “P40 million plus the shares in Mang Inasal” and the 10 percent Falcis assigned in Potato Corner Thailand.
Falcis, according to Sy, is also a partner in the Thai venture.
“While the shares are in Nicko’s name as your trustee to protect your privacy, it is in our corporate records that you are indeed the beneficial owner of the said shares,” the source quotes Aquino’s Thai partners. “You still have the right to vote and also the right to dividends that may arise in your 10 percent in Rocks PC Co. Ltd.”
Qualified theft
Aquino is suing Falcis for qualified theft, for allegedly charging P1.2 million in a credit card intended for expenses in her production company, Kristina C. Aquino Productions, for his personal needs.
The P40-million investment is a separate issue, according to Sy.
“The P40 million was unaccounted for, and we’re trying to account for all the money our client entrusted to Nicko Falcis,” Sy said.
“We had a meeting with Nicko’s sister and his lawyer in September, with the understanding that we were to have another meeting where they would give us the full financial report. They didn’t talk to us again. Instead, they’ve been maligning our client.”
Nothing also has come out of the initial talks on Potato Corner Philippines’ offer for Aquino to buy them out in their Potato Corner + Nacho Bimby partnership, Sy said.
“I asked for an accounting of [the] P40M invested for my sons, and financial reports for our 12 Potato Corner + Nacho Bimby branches and my lawyers and I were ignored,” Aquino wrote on Instagram.
“When Ms Aquino gave Nicko that amount to invest, there was no contract, she didn’t make him sign for it. It was only because she trusted him,” Sy said. “This is so crucial for Ms Aquino because the money came from her sons’ trust fund.”
This past week, Falcis’ camp responded to Aquino’s alleged “bullying tactics,” with his legal counsel, Ponferrada Ty Law Offices, releasing a statement denying claims that they are engaged in “delaying tactics.”
The statement said that Falcis’ counsel filed an “Omnibus Motion to dismiss the cases for forum-shopping, for consolidation of the cases before the Department of Justice, or for suspension of the criminal cases.”
Filing Falcis’ counter-affidavit immediately, it added, “might render our Omnibus Motion moot.”
