THE MARCH 7 ARTICLE ON Manny Villar’s house along Moriones Street in Tondo confirmed the belief that he was never poor, never spent his Christmas on the street and never swam in a pool of garbage. In the early 1960s, if you had a three-story house in a 60-square-meter lot in the business district of Tondo, you were considered an aristocrat.

Not too far from that Moriones house were shanties leading to the pier where children went to the nearby public schools for education. Such was not the case of Villar: he went to Holy Child Catholic School for his elementary education and to Mapua for high school. Coming from Moriones going to Mapua, Villar had to pass by three outstanding public high schools: Jose Abad Santos High School, Arellano High School and Teodora Agoncillo High School, and public schools in the latter part of the 1950s and 1960s were at their best.

But not for the Villar children. Because their father was a white-collar employee and they had a businesswoman for a mother, Manny and his siblings were able to study in the best private schools nearby. They had corned beef for breakfast (as told in Villar’s ad with Boy Abunda) and I am pretty sure suahe and other seafoods for lunch or dinner.

During the times that Villar claimed he was poor, his family actually belonged to the AB and upper C economic strata or the top 10 percent of the population. As in the C-5 controversy, in the conversion of agricultural land in Iloilo, in the landgrabbing of the Dumagats’ land in Norzagaray and his questionable use of socialized housing funds among many others, Villar shows a penchant for covering the truth.

I hope television’s investigative journalists can dig deeper into this so the poor people who are being used will find out the truth.

eto pa isang article kay villar para ma-expose ang tunay na katauhan niya.

Pagsisinungaling ni Villar
Ang aking Lola Ines ay anak ng mga mahihirap na taga-Paombong at Malolos sa Bulacan. Dala ng kahirapan, sila’y nagbibiyahe ng sukang Paombong, bagoong at patis, mula sa Bulacan patungong San Pablo, sentro ng lalawigan ng Laguna, at nu’ng panahon ng mga Kano ay mayaman dahil sa pag-export ng kopra. Nu’ng mga panahong iyon ay wala pang mga komersyal na produktong ganito, at ang mga Bulakeño ang siyang magaling sa paggawa ng patis, sukang galing sa sasa (nipa), at bagoong alamang. Nakilala siya ng aking lolo na isang Tsino na noon ay nagtatrabaho sa tableria ng isang mayamang kamag-anak. Ikinasal sila noong labimpitong taon pa lamang ang aking Lola Ines, at napag-isipang mamuhunan sa pagtinda ng isda sa palengke ng San Pablo. Sa malaon at madali, umasenso sila, hanggang sa naging consignitaria ang aking Lola. Ang isda sa palengke ng San Pablo, Alaminos, Tiaong, Dolores, Nagcarlan, Liliw at Calauan ay sa amin binibili, na pautang na binabayaran ng mga manininda. Dahil dito, napag-aral ng maayos ang aking ina, bilang doktor.
Dangan nga lamang at pinaslang ng mga Hapon ang lolo Carlos ko at ang nakababatang kapatid ng aking ina na si Tiyo Carding, kaya’t hindi ko na nga inabutan ang aking lolo at tiyo.
Sa aking pananaw ay ganito rin ang naging buhay ng mga Villar ng Tondo. Nagtitinda ang inang si Ginang Curita sa palengke ng Divisoria, habang ang ama ay nagtatrabaho sa pamahalaan. Noong mga panahong iyon matapos ang giyera, maganda na ang buhay ng isang kawani ng gobyerno. Lalo na nga at naging masipag si Ginang Curita, matatantiya natin na naging maayos ang buhay at umasenso ang mga Villar. Gaya nga ng napag-alaman, sila ay hindi sa public school nag-aral, kundi sa pribadong eskwelahan. Sadyang pinilit ng mga butihing magulang na mabigyan ng mas magandang kinabukasan ang kanilang mga anak.
‘Yun ngang mga “squatter” nu’ng panahong kami ni Villar ay nasa elementarya, hindi naman sa Tondo nakatira, kundi sa Intramuros, sa gilid ng mga pader ng Muralla. Isang araw na lamang nu’ng bata pa kami ay inilikas na pilit ni Mayor Arsenio H. Lacson ang mga “squatter” sa Sapang Palay, na ngayon ay sentro na ng San Jose del Monte sa Bulacan. Maging ang mga squatter na ito, o kanilang mga saling-lahi, ay umasenso na ang buhay, ngayon at maunlad na ang komersyo at mga pabrika sa lugar na ito.
Pero sina Villar ay kelanman hindi naging squatter, at noon ngang siya ay mga dose-anyos, nakabili ng dalawang loteng magkatabi na tig-280 metro kwadrado (560 sq.m. total) ang mga Villar sa San Rafael Village sa pagitan ng Tondo at Navotas. Pinatayuan ito ng magarang kabahayan na ibinenta noong 1987, kung kailan milyonaryo na sina Manny at Cynthia Villar.
May kaklase ako na doon din naninirahan, matapos na matagal nang sa Juan Luna sa Tondo nakatira.
Tulad ng mga Villar, nikilado ang jeep na naghahatid-sundo rito, at tulad ko nga rin, nu’ng kami ay nasa kolehiyo na, e may sarili na kaming mga sasakyang minamaneho. Maganda ang mga bahay sa San Rafael, at noon ngang araw, may security guard pa sa gate nito. Kalimitan ng mga nakatira doon ay mga negosyanteng Pinoy o Tsino na ang negosyo ay nasa Divisoria o Tondo.
Bakit pilit na ikinukubli ito ni Manny Villar, at kesyo hirap na hirap sila nu’ng siya ay bata pa? Para linlangin ang taumbayan na sadyang maralita sila? Para naman niyang minamaliit ang pagsisikap ng kanyang mga ama’t ina na nagpunyagi upang sila’y itagu¬yod ng maayos at umasenso.
Maging ngayong aminado siya na ubod siya ng yaman, bakit kinukubli naman niya ang tunay na “net worth” niya? Ayon sa kanyang SALN (Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth) na naka-file sa Senado, ang kanyang yaman ay nagkakahalaga ng 1.46 billion pesos. Pero ayon naman sa listahan ng kinikilalang Forbes Magazine, na taun-taon ay nagtatala ng pinakamayayaman sa buong daigdig, dito sa ating bansa ay ikasiyam na pinakamayaman si Manny Villar, at ang halaga nito ay 24 billion pesos (530 million dollars).
Kung tayo ay mahirap man o mayaman, hindi natin ito dapat na pagsinungalingan. Ang asal, ugali at pagkatao ninuman ay hubog sa aral na itinuro sa kanya, at moralidad na kinalakihan at isinabuhay.
Hindi dapat magkunwaring ubod ng hirap, at ipagsinunga¬ling ang katotohanan para lamang malinlang ang sambayanan upang isi¬ping dama nito ang kanilang paghihirap.

ako lumaki sa tondo...

at napunta sa cavite..

si Villar ay mayaman.. dahil sa lupang nabibili nya..

magaling magnegosyo si villar. usually real states..

Villar is never been a poor guy who lives in street or something he is saying in

his advertising campaign.

He needs more power as a politician to buy more government lands and

others!

More states to sell more money..

If killing is not a sin those OLIGARCHIST in our government ways i should have

killed them all one by one by assasination.

the bigger the lie, the more believable it became:
