Comments on: Manny Villar on Wowowee http://pinoybusiness.org/2009/11/14/manny-villar-on-wowowee/ Sun, 05 Feb 2012 16:11:59 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: PilipinoPoAko http://pinoybusiness.org/2009/11/14/manny-villar-on-wowowee/comment-page-1/#comment-51367 PilipinoPoAko Sat, 06 Mar 2010 06:23:17 +0000 http://pinoybusiness.org/?p=2859#comment-51367 HOW, REALLY, DID MANUEL BAMBA VILLAR JR. GET TO BE RICH? It bears to investigate and it can serve the Filipino nation well to know that Manny Villar may actually have broken through from Tondo-ragged accountant to billionaire-rich presidentiable by allowing himself to be used as a foreign investor’s dummy in the Philippine real estate business. You see, the conduct of real estate business in the Philippines is made exclusive by law to Filipino citizens, necessarily because its affairs involve sensitive issues affecting civil rights, territory, sovereignty, patrimony, and national security. Wasn’t that a debonair American who was smilingly visible every day at the offices of Crown Asia Inc. way back before the Villars became political aspirants? Unfortunately, sighting American presence at the Crown Asia Inc. organization deteriorates to zero visibility in hot election weather, especially nowadays! As Manny Villar embarked on a political career, it strategically became imperative to avoid flaks of damaging controversy about being financially beholden to foreign influence, especially from nationalist camps of the likes of then Senator Teofisto Guingona Jr. who was one among legislators instrumental in passing general law limiting real estate business in the Philippines to Filipinos only. In fact, it was from 1997 to 1999 that the bespectacled, middle-aged, happy American investor (silent? fronted? non-express? implied?) of Crown Asia Inc. was last regularly observed at the 18th Floor of Cityland Herrera Tower. Apart from being born with a silver spoon, most of us often have "humble", sometimes "rotten", beginnings; yet being transparent about such beginnings can do even more good than harm. The answer may go as far back as Villar’s auditing days at internationally-patronized Sycip Gorres Velayo (SGV) or, perhaps, good Senator Manuel Villar would like to comment on the matter at this time?

The time to help, indeed, is now -- not after these politicians are elected. That's why I'm happy to see that Sen. Manny Villar has been helping all along and since the start of his long career in public service. When other candidates were busy getting OTHER people to donate for them. Senator Villar and his colleagues quickly mobilized themselves along with other volunteers to help Ondoy victims. It's so easy to fall prey to free publicity from famous siblings, but if we learn to be discerning of how presidentiables help (not to mention their qualifications), then Manny Villar should be the clear choice.
