TACLOBAN CITY – A regional trial court in Biliran has ordered the arrest of Biliran Representative Glenn Chong on a libel complaint filed by his political rival, but immediately posted bail in Manila.

Chong, who is serving his first term in the province’s lone congressional district, posted bail at the sala of Presiding Judge Antonio Rosales of RTC Branch 52 in Manila on Wednesday afternoon after arriving from Malaysia.

Judge Bienvenido Montalla set a P10,000 bail for each of four counts of libel.

Montalla issued the arrest order on June 4 based on a resolution made by Romeo Senson, acting Biliran prosecutor, on the libel complaint filed by Biliran Governor Rogelio Espina.

Chong described the charges as “political harassment.”

“[But] I will face it like a true leader. I am a brave man. I [will] defend my honor and reputation,” he said on Wednesday night in a phone interview.

In his May 13 resolution, Senson found Espina’s complaint valid as the elements of libel were present – imputation of a discreditable act, its publication, the identity of the person defamed and malice.

According to Senson, Chong, in a radio program, accused Espina of having masterminded the ambush on his father Charles on June 7 on P. Inocentes Street, Barangay (village) P.I. Garcia, Naval, Biliran.

The attack resulted in the deaths of Alberto Parilla and Antonio Barcelo, who were identified as among the security escorts of Representative Chong.

“[The] respondent likewise imputed against the complainant’s family, specifically his brother and father, several crimes. These utterances in themselves are defamatory and tend to dishonor, malign and discredit the complainant and his family’s name, honor and reputation,” Senson said.

The alleged libelous statements were made by the congressman in his interviews on June 8, 9, 10 and 11 last year over Radyo ng Bayan.

On four occasions, Chong accused Espina, his father Gerardo and brother Rodolfo of being involved for the ambush.

Espina, who is on his third and final term as governor, is rumored to be running for the lone congressional seat next year.

  1. ************GOVERNMENT DEDUCTION*****

    A little boy who wanted P100 very badly prayed and prayed for two weeks, but nothing happened. Then he decided to write a letter to God requesting the P100.

    When the postal authorities received the letter to “God, PHILIPPINES,” they decided to send it to the PRESIDENT. The president was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a P5 bill. Mrs. Arroyo thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.

    The little boy was delighted with the P5, and immediately sat down to write a thank you note to God which read “Dear God, Thank you for sending me the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through MALACANANG, and as usual, those politicians deducted P9

    Di ko batid bakit may taong ganito sa likod ng ngiti nagkikimkim ng galit. Politikang pinasok dapat handa kang tanggapin bawat bira ng madla upang pamunuan moy tumino upang ikay maging totoo sa anyo ar uri ng puwesto ikaw nakaupo.

    wag mong gamit lugar mo sa estado upang takutin lahat ng mgat tao dahil habang patuloy mong sisiilin karapatan ng tao lalo kang lumulubog sa kanilang paningin..

    di lahat ng oras kaya mong linlangin… di lahat ng oras kaya mong magsinuangalng.. di lahat ng oras kaya mong takutin masang Pilipino na nag iisip at lumalaban ng parehas sa likod ng buto at sa likod ng serbisyo.

  9. Pinoy, alipin ng mga iniupong lider — Bishop
    (Jun Tadios)

    Naging emosyonal ang mensahe ni Catholic Bishop­s’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) president at Jaro (Iloilo) Archbishop Angel Lagdameo sa pagdiriwang ng ika-111 taong anibersaryo ng Independence Day kahapon.

    Ani Lagdameo, nakakalungkot isipin na hindi maganda ang bunga ng 111-taong kalayaan ng bansa dahil naging alipin ang mga Filipino ng sari­ling kalahi at ng mismong mga iniuupo nitong lider.

    “Filipinos remain slaves today not of foreigners but of their fellow Filipinos. Filipinos remain slaves from poverty, injustices, graft and corruption. Worst, the ones that oppresses us most are the self-serving politicians and leaders,” ani Lagdameo.

    Sa ngayon, ayon sa arsobispo, nabubuhay na lamang ang diwa ng Independence Day para sariwain ang paghulagpos ng Pilipinas sa dominasyon ng mga dayuhang bansa.

    Pero pinaalalahanan nito ang mamamayan na hindi ganap ang paglaya ng tao sa pagiging alipin, bagkus higit na nasa kawalan ang mga Filipino dahil sa pang-aalipin ng mga kapwa Filipino.

    “We may have declared independence from some nations, but the ones that now enslave and exploit Filipinos are their fellow Filipinos,” giit ng arsobispo.

    These latest developments are simply legal processes that have come to a head. It has been expected that the members of the Espina Dynasty will file counter charges after the dismissal of the charges filed by the Chong family as a result of the ambush incident. It is surprising though, that it is Governor Roger Espina who first filed the libel case against Rep Glenn Chong, as everyone expected Gerry Espina Sr to fire the first salvo in these forthcoming charges and counter charges that may never end.

    Incidentally, Rep Glenn Chong is in the position to file libel charges against Governor Espina, Gerry Espina Sr and his leaders who have been broadcasting on radio and several media accusing the Chong family of masterminding its own ambush to win elections. In Gerry Espina Sr’s words, it was a drama staged by the Chong. These statements were uttered in numerous occasions intended to defame the honor of the Chong family. All the elements of libel are also present on this case.

    As such I won’t be surprised if warrants of arrest will be issued against the Governor Espina and Gerry Espina Sr in the very near future.

    In the Philippines, dozens of libel cases are filed everyday. Warrants of arrests are issued in as fast as the court clerks can type. Likewise, filing of bail, cash or bonds, is a regular occurrence that it loses its value apart from a short lived satisfaction of the complainants and the embarrassment and inconvenience of the respondents.

    In Biliran, Gerry Espina Sr has dramatized the issuance of the warrant of arrest against Rep Glenn Chong as if he has won a major victory and spell the end of the latter’s career. Unfortunately, although cases filed Gerry Espina Sr, Col Sabornido and SPO3 Bacalla have been dismissed for now, the charges of 2 counts of murder, 1 count of frustrated murder and 1 count of attempted murder against SPO2 Renato Saul, CIDG operatives Ando and Cabillan will now go into full blown trial. In the forthcoming trial proceedings, a motive will be established and it is evident that those three suspects will eventually confess to the motive of the killings. That will be the tricky part of this saga of events. It does not help too, that the ally they have been relying on to defend them no longer possess the power and control to insure cases filed against them will favor their way.

    That could be the reason why Gerry Espina Sr is holding back his own filing of counter charges against Rep Glenn Chong, or he could be vying for the right time to file the case for maximum effect, the 2010 elections. I still think, Governor Espina has jumped the gun and has prematurely filed the libel case. The elections is still a year away, and the ambush case may not have been resolved by then, putting the proverbial sword of Damocles hanging over Gerry Espina Sr’s head. At this stage, his future is uncertain.

    Unfortunately, Rep Glenn Chong has to go through the unnecessary expense and time to resolve this case and prepare for the counter charges of libel. As I said, this will be a never ending saga. The ultimate winners will be the lawyers, neither the the Espinas nor the Chongs. It does take a lot of money and time to try cases of this nature under the Philippine style of judicial system. Let keep a close watch at the turn of events and insure that truth and justice prevails

    God Bless Biliran

  14. Aquarius,

    Yes, you are right, “The ultimate winners will be the lawyers”….

    And the sure losers? People of Biliran!

    Who made the first blood? On ex-gov Parilla?

    The killer-the actor- is associated/controlled/inspired/produced/directed by whom?
    (Anybody knows who financed day-to-day living
    of the killer’s family? Follow the money please!)

    And the sequel to the first blood…on the ambush

    of the congressman’s family?

    What is next? LIBEL?

    What do we prefer – the mouth of someone or the barrel of guns?

    Yes, somone is trying to silence everyone’s opposing views

    by hook or by crook – everytime they want to accomplish something.. They do it during election time, pinoy idol

    time(paid texters), in radio(bin-laden-llok-alke?), newspapers(Jackie, boy) in the internet( hi, utip- special mention, excuse me for others who were misguided who volunteered FREE
    for the Espina)

    Folks, voters/OFW/expats, we are the LOSERS!

    Again, instead of doing positive work for the masses,

    these politicians-the Espinas, some judges, some police officers are spending their time at taxpayers monies

    just to save political clan OWN FACES!

    I hope these politicians are spending their personal money
    to pay their lawyers….and let them fight in the court.

    But, the big but, is with the history of more than 10 years,
    how they misuse people’s money, how can we be so sure
    they are using their own. Attention: COA, Ombudsman,
    and BAGGAT, please!

    God help us for the 2010 election.

  15. I can only assure one thing….From now on i will let every Biliranon i talk with realize the importance of their votes and be very vigilant tp safeguard it from start to finish meaning from the campaign period up the last time where the result will be tallied in the official board where everyone will see so that manipulation will be thwarted. i also encourage them to use whatever multi media they can possible have to record whatever incident that is uncalled for. have them submitted to the right authorities if not their respective parish priest as what one of the bloggers have suggested so that outpouring evidences will be properly documented and be presented in court…
    This is about time for these unscrupulous personalities to see how Biliranons are awaken and how Biliranons are educated enough to safeguard their votes for their future and fo the next generation…
    Some of our political personalities have been very abusive… we can feel their pangs but nobody even them can stop us to do what is right and to do what is good for our own betterment.
    No matter what and how they try to fool us with their propaganda, with their harassment schemes, with the money the ploy us to accept, with the goods, isda, bulad , noodles and picture takings etc,,,, we are no longer swayed by these artistic charades.
    Let us all decide who to elect to and be strong enough to fight for whoever will trample down this sacred right of ours….
    i look forward to that day where these corrupt individuals will realize that their stuff is already not acceptable to the discerning and well-informed voters…….
    Let’ us all support the anti corruption movement… let’s all listen to our religious personalities who do safeguard our morals and innate obligation to chose the candidate who has the political will to guide us into the right path…..
    We have plenty of political personalities who possess this values and attitudes…. they are willing to serve but their machinery is unlike those who would like to cling to power forever,,,
    How foolish we are in the past to be blinded by their fake smiles to listen to their bias arguments to intertain their sugar coated regards to us but look where did the place Biliran in their midst… They made us fools because we have let them made us fools…. But not anymore….. teka muna… tama na ang napakaraming taon ninyo kaming niloko at patuloy na niloloko..patuloy na tinatakot at patuloy na ninanakawan…
    Di na uubra inyong istayl…. patay na po si Marcos…..di na uubra iyan ngayon……
    Di na aasenso ang Biliran kung kayo pa rin ang maghahari sa aming isla….
    Tama … itigil na … palitan ng bagong pagasa ang Biliran ng taong hindi nabibili ang prinsipyo at taong hindi tuta o pakawala ng politiko na gustong ang Biliran ay pagharian….Maraming salamat po.

  18. Utip,

    I am flattered you mistakenly identify me as Aquarius.

    No I am no Aquarius though I am proud to say that we

    both have the same beliefs if I am not mistaken: fair-minded, dignified, decent, morally principled, and love the freedom of blogging and exchange of intellectual ideas.

    I wish you will be like us.

    Any chance?Or, just plain hopeless?

    I have to admit also that Aquarius has better command

    of grammar than me. Boy, I wish I have that writing

    skills and you will see my work everywhere.

    By the way, Anti-Dynastiya has questions for you in other forums,can you be kind enough to reply please?

    Thank you and good morning.

    porque the spanish blood still existing in Biliran..
    These spanish clan should not live in Biliran their blood as strong as the spaniards robbery and curruption are in the midst of their plans.
    If we think about our Filipino Heroes Like Doctor Jose Rizal,Andres Bonifacio and the rest of our National Heroes
    they are fighting against the Spanish Era in our country
    why?because the Spaniards are very strict to our fellow Filipinos they make us a slavery.
    Now a days Filipino agaisnt Filipino are fighting for their own good.

  24. I think, male lessen na ang dayaan at manipulasyon sa votes ng mga tao dis coming election since naaprubahan na ang computerized System sa election..

    Remember nako adtong bata pa ko, nga Inig eleksyon, mukalit lang man ug brownout.. taz pag resume sa Suga… MAnipulated na ang results..

    Bisag mga patay nakabutar man.. hahaha
    Luoy lang pod sa mga patay…

    Although wa ko makauli adtong May 2007 election, kay may work man ko ug wa poy iparasahe pauli… jeje

    wala intawon nako mapraktis akong right to vote.

    Personally. ngaman mibilib man ko kang GC, (although wala jud ko kaila niya, mabatian lng na nako iya name inig uli nako sa Biliran). daghan naman gud xa nabuhat sa Biliran in less than 3yrs of service as a congressman. MAo ni nga mibilib me sa iya. Then I heared na Miingon xa during his campaign nga ” kung wala xa project nga mahimo sa Bawat Baranggay sa Biliran, Magpalabay xa og Bato”..

    Daghan na intawon nag-agi nga pulitiko sa atong Probinsya, pero walay kauswagan ang atong beloved Province.

    Ahong mga Classmates og Co-workers ngari sa MAnila, mangutana asa man na dapit ang Biliran? Naa ba na sa mapa sa Pilipinas?

    Ako intawon, nagkamalisod pag explain kay sukad-sukad, wala man gibuhat ang atong mga pulitiko para mailhan ning atong province.

    Basta Kaming mga kabataan, kang “GC” ang among suporta…

  26. FYI. The skeletons from Raul Gonzales closet are starting to come out. I have the feeling that the ambush case and the warrant of arrest were just some of the midnight resolutions Gonzales ordered before being sacked.

    Gerry Espina Sr should now start feeling uncomfortable.

    GMA candidacy can hasten her downfall
    GOTCHA By Jarius Bondoc Updated June 22, 2009 12:00 AM

    Drugs. That, insiders aver, is the reason Raul Gonzalez was removed as Secretary of Justice. President Arroyo was livid with his actions on three big drug cases. First, he agreed to dismiss charges against the Alabang Boys in the wake of exposure of likely bribery to do so. Then, he sat on the case of the Balasan Boys in the midst of findings that they’re close to his protégé, the Iloilo head prosecutor. Lastly, he dropped from the complaint sheet the financier of the Naguilian, La Union, shabu lab operated by the Dagupan police chief. Apparently Gonzalez had misread how serious Arroyo was with her anti-narcotics drive.

    Had she known, Arroyo might have gone wild over a fourth case. It resurfaced from Gonzalez’s odder actions just before relinquishing office.

    Gonzalez’s transfer as presidential chief legal counsel should have taken effect June 4. But, sources say, he asked successor Solicitor General Agnes Devanadera for a week’s delay, purportedly to clean out his stuff. Late Wednesday, June 10th, Department of Justice personnel frantically text-messaged their counterparts at the Office of the Solicitor General. “Di lang pala sa Pasig may (shabu) tiangge; dito sa DOJ may tiangge ng resolusyon (ng kaso),” it went, “Not only in Pasig is there a (shabu) flea market after all, at the DOJ there’s now a flea market of (case) resolutions.” Early the next day the OSG staff went to the DOJ to inspect. Shocked, they found dozens of midnight decisions, signed the week just past and ready for registered-mailing. The OSG crew stopped the dispatching of the resolutions. On review they found that some had no requisite bar code, since the coder was busted. One case had two contrary conclusions, both signed for delivery to opposing parties. Several decisions already had been sent out before the OSG detected the mess. One of the intercepted rulings was for the PCGG to return Imelda Marcos’s confiscated jewelry.

    Devanadera finally assumed office on Monday the 15th. Because the S-O-S text mentioned the Pasig shabu tiangge, she reportedly called in the three plucky female prosecutors on case. Murmurs at the DOJ are that Gonzalez had wanted them to go light on indicted shabu den owner Amin Boratong, but that they refused. He had even ordered them to drop out of the prosecuting team, but they found a loophole in his memo to justify their stay. Now backed by a new chief, the trio was glad the pressuring is over. Colleagues similarly situated were happy too that the new woman at the top seems determined to bring back to the DOJ its lost glory. Devanadera had halted the PCGG from returning the Marcos jewels because of pending court cases, and ordered a review of the Naguilian drug rap.

    Devanadera had a pending application to fill up one of two Supreme Court vacancies when tapped to replace Gonzalez. She’ll have to postpone that dream till the next vacancies come in succession in four months or so. Meantime, she has that short a time to re-up the DOJ’s battered morale.
