Fortunately our foreign and OFW investors were prepared for initial losses when starting their business in Sta Rosa Laguna, and our bad experience with its corrupt vice mayor has made us stronger. We know from collective experience and contacts that not all Filipino politicians are corrupt like Manoy Alipon. Learning from our mistake in trusting a man so undeserving of trust, we made a successful fresh start with elected officials who understand that corruption is an evil that oppresses Filipino people and denies them a good future.
HRLD no longer exists as a manufacturing business. Manoy
Alipon submitted in its company registration several 'dummy
stakeholders' including himself, none of whom ever invested
a single peso in it. This forced the true investors to cease
trading as HRLD and form a new trading business together
with genuine Filipino stakeholders. Manoy's corruption has
made it necessary for us to terminate our partnership with
him. Instead, our consortium has been boosted by honest
resident and OFW Filipino investors as well as by other
foreigners.
HRLD lives on as an international investment group with
Christian vision. We are united in our support for the Philippine
Republic and in our operating principles of honor, respect,
love and dignity for all. We forgive Vice Mayor Alipon,
for he is merely the product of his past. Let us all join
together in the prayer: "Father forgive him, for he knows
not what he does. Amen." Manoy's future - like ours and
yours - is in the hands of GOD.
At this time of world financial crisis with high inflation
and high unemployment we sincerely hope that President Arroyo
and Mayor Nazareno, who in total contrast to Vice Mayor
Alipon are both working diligently to attract more foreign
investors and more new jobs to the Philippines, will both
succeed in their endeavors with flying colors. They and
this nation deserve such success.
The original small group of HRLD investors from the UK who
started the manufacturing business in Laguna was part of
the international HRLD investment group. It includes Filipino
OFWs and foreign investors from the USA, Philippines, China, Japan, Korea, Dubai, UK, France Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia and Russia.
We salute all Filipinos of integrity and passion who want their city, their province and their nation to
progress and prosper beyond Third World poverty, pollution, disease and crime.
We bring honor, respect, love and dignity to our colleagues,
associates, workers and customers, and to the honest uncorrupt
officials who invite and welcome overseas investors to create
new business and new jobs in their municipalities. They
represent the future of the Philippines true to GOD and
true to every Filipino citizen. Practitioners of hypocrisy,
greed, corruption and obsessive self-aggrandizement such
as Sta. Rosa's evil Vice Mayor Manoy Alipon represent only
themselves and are a destructive handicap to the nation's
progress.
