Bros,

Using a little math, ang net assets increase nila Loot is only something like 30% in the 9 years from 1998 to 2007. That comes out only to 3.33% per annum ug tinambanon ug subay. Better than the banks, but not too high a ROI.

So nganong makadaog man na sila pirmi sie? vote buying? ballot switching? only because mga taga Daanbantayan pasagdan ra sad siguro sila sa ila gipamuhat. magpapalit lang guro pud during election. Dili lang sa Daanbantayan, true to other cities na naa sad corrupt officials ha, sige reklamo ang mga constituents na mga polpol ug corrupt ila mga mayor, PERO, pag-abot election, magpapalit. magpagamit. labaw pung pangwartahan ang mga candidato. So if thats the case, thats the leader that they also deserve.

Hapit na election, kung gusto jud sa taga Daanbantayan na matarong sila, KUNG tinood man gani na dili tarong run, motindog sila ug mobarog sa ilang katungod. dili kay taga gawas ang moaway para sa ilaha.

Let's not pretend that the Loot's are just regular politicians who get a bit of tong (bribe) money. They are serious criminals who deliberately use their positions of power for their own wealth generation purposes. Yes it's common practice in the Philippines, but these people ie Malu Loot, her husband Police Supt Vicente Loot and their son Sun Shimura are "devils in disguise". This site lists a few examples of corrupt activities of the administration in Daanbantayan headed by Malu Loot Corruption

Anyone who gets in their way is trodden on, and ends up getting sued by Malu, removed from any job they have in Daanbantayan, and even sent to jail on concocted charges fabricated by Malu Loot and her team of gangsters who are supposedly called the "Municipal Council". They are all crooks and cheats & liars who only support the Loot's because there is money in it for them. Anyone who crosses Malu politically or in any way opposes her publicly incurs Malu's wrath, and an extremely vindictive attack commences. Malu just doesn't let go until she has annihilated her opponents, that can be by running them out of town, denying them access to government services, having them sacked from their jobs and even coercing others not to do business with them, thus stifling their ability to earn a living in Daanbantayan. Here's the outcome of one case against Jeronimo Cosido where he lost his job in the Municipio after undue pressure was applied to him by Malu Loot. His brother Bartoleme crossed Malu over the illegal implementation by Malu of new tax laws without approval from the Cebu government. Malu's response was to attack family members who were vulnerable ie Jeronimo Cosido, as he was a town employee, see http://7434977933982169991-a-1802744...tCp2rFzsqJg%3D


If you really get in the Loot's way, then you will end up being murdered, of which there are numerous cases to quote such as Gogong Arrogante in March 2008. See this site for more details Murders

Many residents have understandably become compliant and no longer attempt to oppose the Loot's. At least that way they can still survive at the meagre poverty level. So many people have had their own and their families lives "destroyed" by the Loot's that the locals see there is no point in trying to oppose them anymore. It's more like a military dictatorship that is controlling the town.

Many supporters of Itok Corro are unable to get services from the Council offices and have to travel to Bogo City and Cebu City to do normal transactions that are usually done at the local Town Hall.
Others do not get water and garbage services, even though they pay rates for these etc, as Malu has ordered that certain residents are not to be provided with essential services. It's not surprising to know that these certain residents are political opponents who support the opposition team. Complaints to the Ombudsman and local police fall on deaf ears, as both these government bodies are seemingly "under the control" of the Loot's, usually by payment of bribes etc to do what the Loot's want done, or to block any cases that have the Loot's name on them.

The Loot's get millions of pesos from bribes to turn their eye to illegal big time fisherman, who decimate the waters off Daanbantayan and make it difficult for the small rural self sufficient fisherman to make a meagre living anymore. See Illegal Fishing in Daanbantayan waters & Protection bribes

Malu uses the influence of her senior policeman husband who is currently Chief of Staff of Cebu Provincial headquarters, to exert pressure on local Daanbantayan policeman, and other policeman who have families living in Daanbantayan. Virtually the whole town of Daanbantyan lives in fear of the Loot's and their regime as there are many henchmen with guns who carry out Malu's wicked orders without hesitation. These goons are impervious to arrest from local police as they have exemption from prosecution, as ordered by the Mayor and Vice Mayor.

There are many reports of Vic Loot threatening and intimidating people in the lead up to elections. Opposition candidate Itok Corro lodged a case with the Ombudsman alleging interference in the May 2007 council election by Vic Loot during vote counting procedures. Vic Loot should have been no where near the ballot boxes when votes were being counted, yet he was directly outside the glass walled room, banging on the wall in a threatening and intimidating manner. Scrutineers were scared not to do the cheating that had already been arranged with Malu Loot & Vic Loot. If they don't do what they are told, then they are out of a job, get run out of town and may even get murdered.
See this story for more details Election interference case against Vic Loot lodged with Ombudsman

That case is still pending and no action has yet taken place about the complaint, nearly 2 years later. The Ombudsmans office in Cebu is effectively under control of associates, friends and "so called" relatives of the Loot's. Malu Loot herself publicly brags that Aniano Descierto (ex Ombudsman) fixes all matters for them. She has publicly stated that no one has enough money to beat her and that Descierto fixes all issues in the Ombudsmans office for them. There are many other cases lodged over 2 years ago that have had no action take place. The Loot's use the strategy to just delay and delay all cases pending against them until the next election comes around. As many matters are of an administrative nature, then they never get heard within the elected term, so Malu escapes prosecution under the Aguinaldo doctrine. If any matter does somehow become escalated, then they just pay someone to "fix it".

The murder of an dual Australian/Filipino citizen Renerio "Gogong" Arrogante III on March 9, 2008 was the beginning of an uprising against the Loot's. Many townspeople were angry that their local hero had been murdered by the Loot's as payback for his rising political popularity and the fact that he emotionally hurt the Loot's when he sued them for bigamy, a case based on official records Gogong had acquired. The Loot's supposedly had official records sanitized as well as bribed the judge, and the "altered documentation" presented as evidence in court showed a different story to the "original" records. Gogong lost that case and also lost his life for his trouble. Vic Loot stated he was "hurt to the bone" by the actions of Gogong and never forgave him. Retribution raged in his & Malu's minds for nearly a year until the order to assassinate Gogong was issued for a reported fee of P200,000.

Over 3,000 people attended Gogongs funeral in Daanbantayan, there had NEVER been a funeral that big in the town. Townspeople formed the Justice for Gogong Movement (J4G) and have held monthly vigils and memorial services at his grave on the 9th of every month since his murder. On the one year anniversary on 9th March 2009 over 700 people attended the memorial service at his Mausoleum in Balingasag, Daanbantayan. Many supporters attend the memorial service held every month, attendance ranging from 100 to 500 people. Malu Loot gets particularly mad and lamblasts the organisers and supporters over the local Bantay Radyo station immediately after the gathering. She is so angry that the murder of Gogong is being kept at such a high profile in local peoples minds and in Cebu newspapers reports. Why doe she get so angry ? Because she is scared that one day those who know of the direct involvement of the Loot's will succumb to the ongoing display of public sympathy and turn against her & her husband and start talking to the NBI. That will be the day the Loot's get arrested for murder. Read more about Gogong here Renerio Mongaya Arrogante III (Jun or Gogong) - murdered 9 March 2008

The recent Graft case against Malu & Vic Loot lodged with the Manila Ombudsman by NBI on 3 April 2009, is the start of their downfall. NBI have obviously taken an interest in the Loot's and discovered in routine examination of official SALN,s that there were serious discrepancies. The Loot's are crying foul, and claiming that due process was not given to them as they were unaware of a lifestyle check being carried out. That's nonsense as Vic Loot is a policeman, and he well knows that there is an official "No Contact" policy during lifestyle check investigations. This is to prevent interference or coercion being applied to investigators and their familes and friends etc, in an attempt to pervert the course of the investigation. The Loots say they should have been told before charges were laid, but again that's nonsense, the first thing the Loots would have done is to try and bribe someone, and failing that to then threaten to have them murdered, and if that still didn't work, then the investigator would probably have been murdered. This is not fanciful imagination either, there are many cases in Cebu of investigations getting too close to individuals, and the investigator suddenly got murdered. There was one story about an official investigation into illegal fishing practices in Cebu, an activity that Malu Loot was very vocal about as it involved investigators coming onto her "turf" ie the waters of Daanbantayan. She was very annoyed that someone actually arrested an illegal fisherman who had already paid the Loot's "protection" money, and this was therefore affecting her income from illegal fishing "tong". Soon after this event, the Government investigator was murdered.

There are serious Graft & Corruption charges which are supported by lot's of documentary evidence in the complaint lodged by the NBI, and the Loot's should be very worried as this could be the downfall of both their careers. The Loots are pretending that the matter is nothing and that they can overcome it just like all other legal matters & charges they have previously faced. They are claiming that senior officials in the Government will help them "fix the case". Quite the opposite is the real truth though, as reports from "insiders" tell that Malu and Vic are very, very worried, and are arguing constantly and no longer living in the same residence in Daanbantayan. She stays at the "white house" in poblacion, and he stays at their holiday house in Pajo near the beach. Their pattern of behaviour has changed quite significantly and there have been many unusual changes in their mannerisms. Malu has been "rallying the troops" at various urgently called meetings, to try to tone down negative morale amongst her supporters over the many and serious charges that have been laid against them in the last month, both by the NBI for Graft and now the Capitol re gross negligence and dereliction of duty charges. Only time will tell who will "win" this matter, but the Loot's are likely to be the big losers !
