Eto actually sya. Sobrang yaman: Lifetyle check iniutos sa mga Ampatuan

How does one explain kung bakit super uber uber and yaman nang mga Ampatuan sa Maguindanao considering na ang poorbinsya nga to eh is one of the poorest sa lahat nang mga puritang probinsya sa Pilipinas? Ilang backhoe ang ginamit para itayo ang mga palasyo nang mga [insert bastos word here] to? At ilan ang komisyon at nadekwat nila sa magarbong capitol na to? This is dreamland. Napapaligiran nang mga taong walang trabaho at walang makain. Poverty at its finest.

Bakit ngayon lang napansin? Lahat ba nang foreign aid napunta sa mansyon nang mga to? Lahat ba nang programa nang gobyerno napunta sa sala nang mga to? Ano ba talaga? As usual, eto na naman tayo sa reactive at reactionary. Walang pro-active lifestyle check nang mga opisyales nang gobyerno. Yong bagong ARMM Governor na pinasumpa, sino sya? Na-lifestyle check na ba sya? Na-background check na rin ba sya? Ilang clan ang meron sya? Sino ang kanyang Mother Lily?!

Within their respective compounds are a “satellite office” or “sub office” of their respective capitols – even as the elder Ampatuan’s provincial capitol is only 400 meters away and the younger one’s is 53 kilometers (he had vowed to spend more time in his supposed base in Cotabato City but is rarely seen there).

Malacanang is aware of these “sub-offices” – offices with all the amenities but within the compound of the mansions — but an official from the Office of the President who was asked by MindaNews a few years ago could not answer the questions: “Who paid for the construction of the sub-offices? Who’s paying for its upkeep? The Ampatuans or government? What if they’re no longer governor? Would the building and the land on which the ‘sub-offices’ are built be carved out of their compounds and turned over to government?”

But it is not only in Shariff Aguak where the Ampatuans have other mansions.

On an otherwise quiet stretch along Calamansi St. in Juna Subdivision, Davao City, residents started selling their houses some two years ago, with the arrival of a new neighbor who came in a convoy of black luxury vehicles, escorted by heavily armed men, sometimes led by a police vehicle.

    Gosshallah…anuber ang pinagngi-ngitngit ng butche nyo. The Imp-aktuans have divine rights to lived ostentatiously; at pag dikaw umayon, their vast landholdings would be your unceremonious sorry-grave; avec ou sans backhoe!

    Naloka ako sa figures. I wonder how the Maguindanao budget looks like. 5% for the people and etc., 95% for the Ampatuans? OMG

As a Finance cum Economist person, wez lang sumagi sa isip nya where in the world these warlords are getting the monies for all these extravagance considering na puritas ang everything else in Maguindanao?! O baka takot ang Gloria na sya rin ang kwestyonin sa extra uber uber wealth nila?
