Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez said he had ordered the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to put Time’s Philippine correspondent Nelly Sindayen on the list to compel her to shed light on the alleged plot.

…illegal immigrants monitored

by Jefferson Baraquil
NEW York - It was reported that many Naval/Biliranon settled here in US working as house cleaner, baby sitter and caregiver and some work as part-timer prostitute while some were illegal immigrants as hearsay report reach us.
The US government is combating this illegal immigrant in American soil and deported many of these Filipino illegal back to Philippines on board Miami Air through at Diosdado Macapagal International Airport, in Pampanga.
The aircraft fetched the deportees from San Francisco in California, Honolulu in Hawaii, the US Commonwealth of Mariana Islands and Guam.
The deportees proceeded to the Haribon terminal of the Philippine Air Force in the DMIA complex where they were met by relatives.
Meanwhile, Lorenzo Delfin, Jr. who fought 14 years for his US immigration petition was reunited with his mother and brother here.
Teresita Delfin is finally reunited with son, Lorenzo Delfin, after 14 years of separation. Teresita's former lawyer gave up on son's case, and the letters from two senators and a congressman were of no help. All efforts failed.
Moreover, the reporter without border received a confidential list of the Naval/Biliranon who seeks permanent status in U.S. The U.S. government official who asks for anonymity told the reporter without border to identify and help locate these illegal Naval/Biliranon immigrants. -jb-

So the public may know:

(UPDATED)
I am Anthony Marlon Mecaral that wishes to inform everybody that I was the author of all the crimes and history of Naval Biliran hence at the age of 22 years and my personal knowledge of the political bickering that transpired during the Parilla leadership nor Espinas’ tenure at the EPZA as an administrator is a history driven out by my curiosity.
As an author, of some articles I denounce cowardism and ignorism not to malign or impute wrongdoings to another with the end in view of sowing intrigues and perceived hatred upon persons without color of authority and assert.
As a young journalist that far from my reach, i shall be expected that I expose and detect crimes or serious misdemeanor and protect public health and safety, preventing the public of being mislead by some statement or action of an individual or organization which are coward criminals.
However, I will protect my life and identity to avoid coward criminals to overrun my authority and interest of the public safety. And I shall scrupulously report and interpret the news, taking care not to suppress essential facts or to distort the truth by omission or improper emphasis. I recognize the duty to air the other side and the duty to correct substantive errors promptly.
Be this as it may, the undersigned may welcome everybody to follows the Naval Biliran crimes and its stupidity.

I’m a Navalian, come and be my constituencies

by Rollando C. Borrinaga

As a Navalian working here in Tacloban, …it was very interesting to see the different between the Naval/Biliran politician and Taclobanon but with the same feather they can flock together. However the Taclobanon appear the highest quality to glance but it’s too dangerous to hook up with them.
I am one of the hundreds of hundreds of Navalian neither Biliranon given change to experience a life that is denied in my own town by the former governor which now serving his jail term. I love living and working here in Tacloban which I called home. I can go about my life feeling able to provide a decent life for my self and my family. It is shame that a lot of my constituencies are talented but there are just not enough jobs. My town and my province have been controlled by one family politically for as long as I can’t be wrong.
When I came here in Tacloban, I realized what I was missing and that every Naval/Biliranon here enjoys what I had always longed for. Given a choice, I would want to work here for as long as I can, until I go back to my home town to retire if the opportunity gives-in.
I believe in giving back to Tacloban what it has given me by offering the productive years of my life to help in its continued development with our young and talented governor Petilla.
Don’t get me wrong; I would have done it in my own town/province if we have what Tacloban has, but for now the best way I can help my town and province is to be productive somewhere else.
I don’t pretend to know everything about politics here in Tacloban or the sentiments of the present generation of Taclobanon. I also do not pretend to know what is best for Tacloban in particular and Leyte in general.
What I don’t know is that in my town/province, we don’t understand each other, we have peace but stupidity is out there. We can walk in any place but all eyes follows with funny stupid idolater’s curiosity. We have all our relatives that sometimes help us but at the same time destroy us and yet we are still rotten, poor and dim-witted.
We did not have a good leader for a long time and freedom to do anything was used as a license by the leaders to fill their pockets with the people’s money.
Yes, we always had a choice, but what is there to choose from? It is very rare to find a leaders with is not a womanizers, thief, gambler ect. You have it and I hope you cherish it. The latest “kabet” in town had owned a small book shop located in Naval mall and was funded by the latest politician while another politician is reported for having fun on playing handsome and macho men inside his white Mercedes beans.
On other hand, sometimes we want a change so badly that we fail to think about what is really important: Food on the table, a job, an affordable place to live in, a safe and sound existence, a good future to our children and change to live in your own town to reap the benefits of what the previous generation struggled to achieve.
I hope that Tacloban will continue to move forward. Tacloban makes me proud to say I am a Filipino. And I hope it stays that way for I call Tacloban a home near to my home. he he he

Everdearest pepjun
At least trying hard ka to maintain and sustain your identity. ako nga, if for the nature of my work, I really have to learn to understand cebuano para pag nag-fieldwork ako, di ako mabenta.
Talaga?! defunct na ang DWU sa Tacloban? Member ka ng LFS? How did you applied for asylum? Baguio and Boyet are my uncles, short to say, Chicay and Pilar are my aunties. Their father, the former Mayor of Almeria was the brother of my grandmother.
Actually, Ma Colom is still 50% chinese, here maiden surname is Ang, brother niya si Lito, 'yon may-ari ng RosaLito. The Vero's are not rich, nagsikap lang makapag-aral kaya umasenso!
These things happened because the people of Biliran allowed it. They allowed the Espina clan to abused and marginalized them. I'm not familiar with you associates, who are they? I'm looking for a new job, maybe they need a new staff?! I'm not sure, as far as I know, Sec. Ging is from the northern part of country.
Well, I have too much readings about Iraq, Afghanistan and the Palestine. These are old nations and yet they too never learned from the past.
Gerry Espina used to be the EPZA Administrator. During his time at EPZA, parang manning agency ang EPZA, maraming ghost employees, then majority ay mga kamag-anakan niya. Wala naman matinong mga projects and programs na naimplement. EPZA was the 'milking cow' of the Marcos cronies not only the Espinas.
If my memory serves me right, according to my Dad, Gerry emerged from a very humble beginning, he used to be a cigarette con shoeshine boy in Sangley Point, Cavite, at the same time a working student at FEU. He used to visit us in our house in Cavite for some used clothes or free meals or a few bucks, while his mother is from Talahid, a labandera then or kahit ano daw ipagagawa in exchange for some left-over foods or for a few kilos of rice or palay. My Dad even told me, kung di raw sa pagsisip kay Imelda ay walang Gerry Espina. pero 'nun nakaangat, nakalimutan na ang mga taong tumulong sa kanya. By the way, ATOK ang last name ko, sounds familiar ba? What do you do for a living there is Australia, how long ka na dyan?
