"Ginigisa kayo sa sariling ninyong mantika!" A financial analyst of the World Bank would like to inform Filipinos about the money-making scheme of the Pidals, the proceeds from which go to the family's secret account in Switzerland. He disclosed that all LOTTO DRAWS are orchestrated, and big money goes to the two sons of The Pidal Couple. Recent example is the SUPER LOTTO 6/49 draw, where supposedly two individuals from Luzon won. Do you know WHO these individuals are? The Two PIDAL Sons who else? SHOCKING DISCLOSURE FROM THE WORLD BANK

“Filipinos are being skinned alive, fried in your own fat and lard!”

Yano qualified his answer as "NO, if you are asking to fire at the people". Verzosa made similar statement. http://www.ellentordesillas.com/?p=5139 It is not hard to see the presidential prerogatives in moving her chess pieces especially drawing close to possible endgame in 2010.

The two notable officers are Prestoza and Bangit. Both are PSG (protection of the First Family) and Intelligence (military assets and movements) chiefs. During critical time of 2010, Prestoza is the Intelligence chief while Bangit will be the AFP chief. Early this year, Prestoza handiwork materialized in Dacer-Corbito case by turning Mancao against his boss Sen Lacson a presidential aspirant. It is interesting to watch orchestrations done by the president and her handpicked military generals.

In the Marcos era, there was much speculation about Ileto and Yan. It made interesting reading, but nothing came out of it. Incidentally, there was also much speculation about another general named Fidel V. Ramos. He was portrayed as a principled West Pointer, a professional soldier who didn't like the way the military was being politicized by Marcos and Ver, although it wasn't evident from the way Ramos ate shit from Marcos and Ver for several years. Ramos eventually did turn against Marcos, but only after Minister of Defense Enrile and his Ramboys were forced to fight back after they were implicated in a coup attempt.
