CORRUPTION OF SANTA ROSA VICE MAYOR
DRIVES AWAY FOREIGN INVESTORS AND
HANDICAPS THE CITY'S FUTURE PROGRESS
"If Vice Mayor Alipon brings his private army to rob us of our investments, we will secretly bring undercover soldiers here from Moscow to crush them like cockroaches. His band of illegally armed amateurs has never fought skilled international professionals. Our soldiers have been toughened by the hardest training in the world and experience with guerilla warfare in the world's most dangerous jungles and cities. They pride themselves in their ability to give captured enemy the slowest and most painful death imaginable. We welcome attempted extortion from puffed-up corrupt politicians like Manoy to give our soldiers some fun. We will make him listen to his private army as his men scream like frightened little mice in the most excruciating pain known to military science. Then we will do the same to him. Our advice to you, yes YOU with Manoy's pitiful toy guns that you think give you power, is think again because you have never come up against real professionals with real up-to-the-minute training, experience and weapons. GET OUT OR FIND OUT!!! Squealing your pathetic excuses when you are suffering with unbearable pain will be too late and will get you no sympathy from us or our soldiers."
- Dimitri Rubin, Vladimir Berezutsky and Konstantin Shirokov, Russian investors visiting Sta Rosa
"Some people are surprised at how inactive and reclusive our corrupt Vice Mayor, Manoy Alipon, has been lately. When
he was merely 'Kap Manoy' of Barangay Balibago the city of Sta. Rosa was flooded with his fake smile on promotional
tarpaulins everywhere. Since then the floods have come from 'Ondoy', 'Pepeng' and other calamities, and the cowardly
Manoy Alipon hides away behind the unlicenced guns of illegally armed municipal employees. Why? Because he was
involved with illegal Laguna De Bay activities causing the unnecessary floods that made so many people homeless and
destitute. His entire working life consists of involvement with illegal activities that destroy the peoples' homes and God's
environment given to us all for responsible use and protection. God may forgive Manoy Alipon, but it is hard for humans
to see forgiveness in the faces of thousands of poor innocent children suffering from malnutrition and disease when the
funds allocated to help them are plundered and spent by our Vice Mayor Alipon to give his own children very expensive
educations. He, Manuel Gonzales Alipon, represents the worst and most destructive element in Philippine politics. With
no ethics and no morality, he demonstrates daily how easy it is for criminals to become rich in our society by entering
politics. He failed as seminarian. He failed as teacher. He failed as businessman. With God guiding our paths, it is our
Christian duty to ensure that Manoy Alipon fails as politician. Working together against his corruption, we will stop him."
- CACOMA (Campaign Against Corruptions Of Manoy Alipon)
"I just do whatever it is that I believe I should do, regardless of the risks to my life....I would rather
die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.... This is a time to return to our basic values.
For us who are a people of faith, Christians and Muslims alike, it is a time to return to our true faith.
True faith must be rooted in prayer, in our trust of a loving father, in loving sacrifice of self for the
greater good of all. The problems of peace and poverty, social justice and good governance are
concerns of everyone and everyone must do his or her share."
- Cory Aquino (Jan. 25, 1933 - August 1, 2009),
First Woman President of the Philippine Republic
"In 2010 Vice Mayor Manuel Alipon will be a burden and a handicap to any political group that supports him, whether it
favors or opposes the present Malacañang administration. The Vice Mayor's closest family, friends and supporters know
that CACOMA, the anti-corruption campaign against him, has legal substance and a lot of money behind it. What this
indicates more than anything else is an absence of political skills on the part of Alipon and his advisors. The people he
turns to for professional advice, if indeed he ever listens to anyone else, will inevitably suffer from association with him.
Any real politician with a modicum of the basic skills necessary to career survival would long ago have been pragmatic
enough to nip this situation in the bud, not allow it to escalate out of control. At the level of Vice Mayor, near the very
bottom of the political ladder, making so many rich and powerful enemies in one's first term of office is political suicide.
Manuel Alipon had his chance and he blew it. His political career is over, and ultimately he has only himself to blame."
- Philippine political analyst/consultant
"Manoy Alipon is a criminal. Nothing more, nothing less. There is no way that he can be regarded as honorable.
He does not know the meaning of this word. Who would this dishonorable robber and fraudster be without his private
army of Sta. Rosa municipal employees threatening the public with his illegally procured unlicenced guns? The corrupt
Vice Mayor would be absolutely nothing, a waste of space on Planet Earth, a useless nobody obsessed with self-love,
consumed with greed, and insanely jealous of successful Filipinos. He has no concept of public service, and no interest
in building a better Santa Rosa or a better nation. Vice Mayor Alipon has only one interest in life, and this is himself. He
will do what benefits him and only him. The way that he parades his long-time mistress Jenny in public is proof that
even his own wife and children are not as important to him as his adulterous affairs. Our honest Filipino business
partners in Makati deplore Manuel G. Alipon's destructive corruption and his appalling anti-Catholic depravity."
- Norman Collins, foreign investor robbed by his former business partner Vice Mayor Manoy Alipon
"Nonoy, you have raised the banner. This is the banner of hope and reform. This will put food on the table
because the funds for the farmers will no longer be stolen. This will provide jobs to the people because
investors will no longer be victims of extortion. This will make prices of medicine affordable because there
will no longer be government connivance with abusive pharmaceutical companies. This is about our thirst
for change finally overcoming those who want to continue the tayo-tayo system, the horse-trading, the greed,
the self-interest, the transactional politics that has been the biggest roadblock to progress and prosperity
for all. This is about what is straight and what is crooked. This is about the honest against the corrupt. This
is about right versus wrong. We are up against forces who will fight tooth and nail, fair and unfair, legal and
illegal, against us. The fight is on. Our opponents will exhaust all avenues in order to win. They have been
robbing us for so long, and they want to continue robbing us. But we will not allow them to rob our hopes as
well. I am honored to join Nonoy Aquino in this field of battle. To all of us across this great nation who are
fighting alongside him, make no mistake about it: we will not back down from this fight, not now, not ever."
- Senator Manuel Roxas II
"We have heard the same rumors as you that Vice Mayor Manoy Alipon was behind the killings of Mely Carvajal, Leon
Arcillas, Boyie Gomez, Jensen Cristobal and Raul Aala, and the attempted slaying of Joey Catindig. It is rumored that
over several years Manuel 'Manoy' G. Alipon's ruthless desire to be Mayor hatched a cunning and devious plot to create a
false vendetta that would divide and conquer the Arcillas and Catindig clans who stood in his way by turning their massive
political organizations and their many thousands of supporters against each other. His alleged plan was to sneak past them
while they are fighting and seize the mayoralty for himself. Already we know he is guilty of grafts, adulteries, corruptions,
deceits, extortions, frauds, thefts, dealings in illegal drugs and guns, and other unlawful activities. We also know that many
of his former sponsors, volunteers and voters are turning their backs on this satanist hypocrite and switching their support
to candidates who are true to Santa Rosa and who will genuinely serve our city with ethics, honesty, integrity and honor
like those of Cory Aquino who saved our whole country from the evil dictator Marcos. This collective deserved backlash
will vote Manuel "Satan-Worshiper" Gonzales Alipon out of politics forever. The longer that Alipon remains in politics,
the more damage he will do. He is a municipal calamity, a bringer of destruction and disaster to our city and our people."

"The most
hypocritical and corrupt Vice Mayor in Santa Rosa's history."
"Called by SATAN to deceive and rob the people."
"He is a liar, an adulterer, a deceiver, a fraudster, a plunderer, a robber and a thief."
"He is the most dishonorable man in Santa Rosa."
- Poll of Constituents 2009
Foreign Investors recently assessing Philippine investment potential came from China, India, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan,
Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam, Dubai, Abu Dhabi,
Sharjah, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, USA, Canada, Russia, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Sweden, Australia, South Africa, Brazil,
New Zealand, and other countries. Those who investigated Santa Rosa Laguna were
powerfully vocal in their criticism of the corrupt City Vice Mayor.
This caused us in September 2008 to survey an investment group of mixed nationalities
on why their research into the activities of Vice Mayor Manuel 'Judas' G. Alipon
had turned them against investing in Santa Rosa City and had driven them to
invest outside the province of Laguna. Prevailing circumstances 10 months later led us to call for an update in June 2009.
Q: Are
your answers unanimous?
A:
Yes, we have all signed a declaration that we discussed your written questions
and agreed these written replies.
Q: Would you trust Manoy Alipon,
at present the City Vice Mayor of Santa Rosa Laguna.
A:
No. Never. Not even with something small. Never with anything at all.
Q:
Why?
A:
Because his brain is so addled with selfish corruption that he is permamently incapacitated. He lacks honor and integrity. He is totally dishonest and untrustworthy.
Q:
On what evidence?
A:
On our own business experiences and on experiences of the many many Filipino business people that we do regular business with.
Q:
Why is it important to you?
A:
The United Nations issued a statement that answers this question
better than we could:
“Corruption harms society, undermines democracy, and weakens the rule of law.”
Philippine Catholic Bishops issued a statement that answers this question
better than we could:
“Corruption is the worst form of crime, because it kills the common good, it kills the poor, it kills the country. It violates God’s commandments.”
The Philippine Chief Justice, Reynato S. Puno, issued a statement that answers this question
better than we could:
“This country does not belong to the powerful. Nor does it belong to
the greedy. It belongs to the Filipino whose spirit calls for honesty, for fairness, for justice, for liberty and for prosperity.”
Q:
Do you see the Vice Mayor as a threat to Santa Rosa?
A:
Without a doubt. Corruption is a destructive force. Manoy Alipon is destroying
all the good things that honest Filipinos were achieving in Santa Rosa City
and in other parts of Laguna.
Q: So
you think a Vice Mayor has power to cause widespread damage to local society
and economy?
A: As
an individual, no. It is the corruption, not the person, which has power to destroy anything and everything that people hold dear to them - their families, their homes, their livelihoods.
Q: How
can the power manifest itself?
A: When there is a public official as corrupt as Manoy Alipon, the present but soon to be deposed Vice Mayor of Santa Rosa, the society
around him degenerates. Contamination spreads like a disease. People first
experience the effects of poverty, disease, pollution, crime, and so on. They quickly
lose all respect for local government, and soon they lose confidence in the
wider national democratic process. Social and economic instability are bad
news to domestic and foreign investors, both.
Q: Would
you ever reconsider your decision not to invest in Santa Rosa City?
A: Yes. Last September we thought that rooting out corruption in Sta. Rosa must only be the job of local Filipinos, not of foreign investors. 10 months later we have reassessed the situation. It is clear to us now that thousands of ordinary Filipinos do not have any resources to oppose the oppressive corrupt politicians who keep them permanently living in poverty with no hope of improvement for their children or their children's children. The experiences of HRLD and LHR are enlightening, and their mission to help the Philippine people is inspirational. Following their convincing presentations, our revised thinking is that we have a humanitarian duty to assist in any way we can - whether by finance or influence or both.
Q: Do you
think this will ever happen?
A: If corrupt Vice Mayor Manoy Alipon is defeated in 2010, foreign investors will come rushing to pour millions of dollars into
Santa Rosa, creating jobs and prosperity for thousands of people. If local Filipinos are serious about protecting their families and improving their lives, their combined blitz on local political
corruption in the 2010 elections must be their top priority, and we will support them all the way.
Q: Is there
no corruption in the First World?
A: There
is a criminal element in every society and the First World is not immune to
corruption, but it has greater transparency with stricter controls and the punishments
are much more severe. What makes this possible is that the culture is antagonistic. Corrupt politicians are not admired as they sometimes are in the Philippines. The First World rightly considers them to be enemies of the people.
Q: What
do you think makes it such a big problem here?
A: Historically,
corruption seems to have been accepted and condoned in the Philippines to become
the norm in political culture. Such an extraordinarily high level of official
corruption oppresses ordinary people who deserve a better life, and it sabotages
every genuine attempt to achieve real progress.
Some of the Santa Rosa investors
who moved their businesses out of Laguna after being treacherously robbed by Vice Mayor Alipon authorized us to publish the following extracts from correspondence
with other investors.
"Misguided Alipon supporters, we have a very important life-saving message for you. Do you want, and do your loved ones want you, to suffer the inevitable consequences of following a greedy, lying, corrupt, bloated-ego satan-worshiper like Vice Manoy into serious battle? You know that you have no chance against the international forces of freedom to invest, and you know his infernally corrupt extortions well because you have seen them for yourselves. Don't be sweet-talked into collusion with him in the hope of sharing his unlawful gains. You know that he will never sacrifice his personal profits to help you if you are convicted and go to jail or to help your families if you are killed or captured in a real war against his many enemies. He has made too many enemies, and his days are numbered. They are his enemies, not yours. You are Manoy's disposable fodder to save the skins of him and his family. But what about you and your families? Don't let Manoy mislead you into thinking that he has a political future. Manoy has no future: neither personal nor political. His bloated ego has blown it big time. In one word: forever. If the BIR does not get him for tax avoidance, then he will be hit some day by a hired assassin in revenge for being behind so many past political Sta. Rosa slayings or for double-crossing so many of his local associates."
- Private consortium of Sta. Rosa municipal employees
"Santa Rosa's Vice Mayor can never be trusted. A politician as corrupt as the
dishonorable Manuel 'Judas' G. Alipon is the lowest form of life. A poisonous
snake has more integrity than Manoy Alipon."
- Jacqui Wones, foreign investor, robbed by former business partner Vice Manoy
"The Vice Mayor of Santa Rosa is a fraudster and robber. He misuses taxpayers'
money to pay wages in his private businesses. He misuses taxpayers' money to procure
guns unlawfully and to pay his unlicenced private army. He sends his gunmen to
steal other people's property."
- Steve Franklin, foreign investor, robbed by former business partner Manoy Alipon
"What more can I add? Everything they say is true. We came here in good faith to invest in the Philippines. Manoy Alipon, first as Balibago Barangay Captain then as City Vice Mayor stole our money, tricked us into paying Man-Ali's rent and electricity, sent crook after crook - including his cousin Danny Alipon - to cheat us at the factory and multiply our startup costs, ordered some of our key workers to absent themselves from the HRLD factory to complete projects for his home and for Barangay Balibago while HRLD was paying all their full-time wages, then finally changed the locks at our factory, seized our machines, equipment and supplies, installed his gunmen to keep us out, and demolished the workers' barracks, forcing our business out of Laguna and destroying the livelihood of 32 Filipinos whose jobs we had created in Santa Rosa City. All this after we had so generously supported his Vice Mayoral election campaign with cash donations of more than 1.1 million pesos, the free use of factory space, materials and labor, the free loan of printer, computer, Nikon digital camera with 1Gb memory card, professional tripod, and two 1HP air conditioners for his campaign office, plus personal gift of the most expensive Nokia cell phone for him to co-ordinate his campaign management. Is this what all decent honest Filipinos mean by "Utang na loob?" If so, all foreign investors should take their money out of the Philippines and never return. I know for certain it is not so. Decent honest Filipinos are truly decent and honest. But foreign investors need to find them. Manuel 'Judas' Gonzales Alipon merely represents the most un-Christian and most evil side of Philippine corruption. I was converted and baptized into the Catholic church after coming to the Philippines, and for this I have no regrets. Yet regrettably I must advise that my spiritual progress was a constant battle against the inhumane corruptions of City Vice Mayor Manoy Alipon."
- Al Collins, foreign investor, robbed by former business partner Vice Mayor Manoy Alipon
Some of the new investors who
decided against Santa Rosa after investigating the corruptions of Vice Mayor
Manuel Alipon authorized us to publish the following extracts from notes made
in their business journals.
"Santa Rosa mayor of vice is bad man. We cannot ever
trust him. He will negate our investment if we give him opportunity. We do not
invest until he is removed."
- Nanaho Hyobu and Hitomi Agata, Japanese investors visiting Sta Rosa
"This Alipon guy is a disgrace to the City of Santa Rosa. He's a gangster who holds up and damages its progress. Without him this city would be a serious contender for my money."
- Thomas Gelfo, American investor visiting Sta Rosa
"If Vice Mayor Alipon brings his private army to rob us of our investments, we will secretly bring undercover soldiers here from Moscow to crush them like cockroaches. His band of illegally armed amateurs has never fought skilled international professionals. Our soldiers have been toughened by the hardest training in the world and experience with guerilla warfare in the world's most dangerous jungles and cities. They pride themselves in their ability to give captured enemy the slowest and most painful death imaginable. We welcome attempted extortion from puffed-up corrupt politicians like Manoy to give our soldiers some fun. We will make him listen to his private army as his men scream like frightened little mice in the most excruciating pain known to military science. Then we will do the same to him.

- Dimitri Rubin, Vladimir Berezutsky and Konstantin Shirokov, Russian investors
visiting Sta Rosa
"His ego is bloated like a balloon, but we investors have the means to burst it. He is too ignorant to know that he is playing with fire."
- Huub van de Laak and Klaas-Jan Atteveld, Dutch investors visiting Sta Rosa
"Not a chance. The man is so corrupt I will never invest here while he's the Vice Mayor. This place could do fine if it got its anti-corruption act together and turfed him out of office."
- James Petchey, Australian investor visiting Sta Rosa
"His thoughts, words and deeds are satanic. His principles and methods are satanic. Manoy Alipon is a curse to all mankind and must be stopped."
- Reine Blomqvist, Swedish investor visiting Sta Rosa
"Advantage of Santa Rosa Laguna is good location near to capital city Manila.
Disadvantage is corruption and depravity of vice mayor, Manuel G. Alipon. He
has too much egomania and greed, and he has private army to steal our assets
and profits. Nothing here but trouble. Too much risk unless we use our secret
weapons to force him do what we want. Easier for us than he thinks. Let him try to double-cross us. We will enjoy his attempts, and he will regret them."
- Manfred Herrmann and Helmut Fleischer, German investors visiting Santa
Rosa
"Such a man Alipon is vice mayor. How can it be good? Is very bad for Santa Rosa.
They must dispose of him. He must be locked in prison."
- Suk Hahm, Korean investor visiting Sta Rosa
"He will burn for all eternity in the fires of hell, and he will take with him everyone who
aids and abets his evil abuse of public office in city government. If he cheats us, we have Mafia investors who will know what to do with him."
- Stefano Galliani, Pierluigi Palazzi and Adriano Moggi, Italian investors visiting Santa
Rosa
"Vice Manoy Mayor would be in prison if he live in Korea."
- Paik Hak-soon, Korean Investor visiting Santa Rosa
"In Japan, Vice Mayor Alipon would be banned from public office. Philippines allow
him to rob foreign investors."
- Rikuto Nakamura, Japanese Investor visiting Santa Rosa
"I laugh when they tell me Vice Mayor is Catholic. Maybe he use religion to make his frauds. No true Catholic could ever be so corrupt.
I invest only with honest people not like him."
- Fabio Martinelli, Italian investor visiting Sta Rosa
Many of the Santa Rosa constituents who were betrayed by Vice Mayor Alipon's corruption after voting for him in
2007 authorized publication of their local quotes alongside relevant quotes from the Bible and from national and international sources.
"Manoy Alipon is the most hypocritical and corrupt Vice Mayor in Sta. Rosa's history. He is called by Satan to deceive and rob the people."
- Poll of Santa Rosa Constituents 2009
"Corruption harms society, undermines democracy and weakens the rule of law."
- United Nations, Office on Drugs and Crime
"Times have changed. Filipino bloggers around the world are watching. Filipino bloggers are fearless warriors. Filipino bloggers protecting their families will never be silenced by the hired guns of corrupt politicians like the infernal Satan-worshipper Manuel 'Judas' Gonzales Alipon of Laguna. To us he is the foul stench of a bad breath belch or a turd of putrid shit. We cast a curse on his murderous thefts of public funds, and our curse will exterminate his 2010 election campaign."
- internet blog
"The Vice Mayor of Santa Rosa City is an adulterer and fornicator who pretends to be a Catholic."
- Santa Rosa municipal employee not working for Manoy
"Man is obliged to follow the moral law ... to do what is good and avoid what is evil."
- Catechism of the Catholic Church
"Vice Manoy is nothing without his family and the staff he put on the City payroll to assist his corruption, because he cannot do it alone. They depend on him for money and jobs, but he depends on them for secrecy. They know that his fake Catholicism is a blasphemy and his corruption is evil, and some of them have the real Catholic faith and conscience."
- Santa Rosa municipal employee not working for Manoy
"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

- Matthew 16: verse 26, New American Standard Bible
"Manoy Alipon makes the corrupt politician's mistake of thinking the people love him. Nothing could be further from the truth. He was elected because in 2007 he robbed his business partners to buy votes. This is the truth."

"What will one gain by winning the whole world if he destroys himself? There is nothing you can give to recover your own self."

"People everywhere are in great need of honesty and integrity in government."
- Rudy Giuliani, former Mayor of New York and world-acclaimed Leader In Time Of Crisis
"Success in politics requires a high level of integrity. The slightest betrayal of trust will always result in a backlash. Failure is inevitable and deserved when politicians let down those who backed and supported them at election time. Come next campaign, the backing and support will be multiplied one hundredfold and switched to someone else."
- Archbishop Tutu
