23.01.2022 From a source close to Monsignor Arnel Lagarejos, the priest who was found "with a 13-year-old girl": "Fr. Lagarejos was well known to be a womanizer. "Monsi" a...s he was known, drove around in a Ducati Diavel motorcycle, one of the most expensive Ducati motorcycle models available (same motorcycle as Dingdong Dantes) and would go out drinking and carousing with women when he would go out with his motorcycle group." NOTE: Ducati Diavels cost anywhere from P 1.4 million to P 3 million.

16.01.2022 An Appeal to the United Nations from a former Filipino Delegate to the United Nations General Assembly I am Michael Francis Acebedo Lopez, a Filipino and a form...er delegate to the United Nations General Assembly. Nearly ten years before the questionable rise of one Leni Robredo to the Philippine Vice Presidency, I had the honor of representing my country, the Philippines, as the youngest Filipino delegate to the United Nations General Assembly in its history. I also had the opportunity to be the Philippiness first actual Youth Representative or Delegate, a partial fulfillment of our commitment to the UNs World Programme of Action for Youth or WPAY. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon accepted my letter of credential signed by the Philippine Foreign Minister. There it was stated that I was attending the General Assembly as Adviser to the Third Committee Plenary Session on Social Development, including questions relating to the World Social Situation and to Youth, Ageing, Disabled Persons and the Family. In the august halls of the UN World Headquarters in New York, I also had the honor to draft and deliver the Philippine Statement to the General Assemblys Third Committee. In light of Vice President Robredos video message to the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs posted on TIME Magazines website and shared by various media organizations, I am recalling the mandate I was once given in an effort to reach out to all of you, member states of the UN and all organizations within the UN System. If said mandate is not sufficient because it has long since lapsed, I am hinging my appeal therefore on my being a natural born citizen of one of only four Asian nations who signed the 1945 Charter that created the United Nations. I am making this urgent appeal on behalf of each and every Filipino grossly misrepresented by our a Vice President in said video message, a Vice President whose own mandate has been called into question, with the highest electoral tribunal of the land, the Presidential Electoral Tribunal, having considered the election protest against her win to be sufficient in both form and substance. With unfounded claims and unsubstantiated allegations, Vice President Robredo wantonly painted an impossibly grim image of the Philippine situation if only to attract international attention and action. To say that she delved in speculation is understating the gravity of her made-up claims and the severity of the damage she has caused on our country and our people in so doing. In reporting to the world what she failed to report to Philippine authorities, assuming there are actual reports received by the Office of the Vice President, she has not only embarrassed our country, she has betrayed the public trust and committed economic sabotage, both punishable under Philippine laws. For her to say that our people feel both hopeless and helpless is a brazen lie. Confidence in the presidency is at an all time high (while the same cannot be said of the vice president whose approval ratings continue to plummet); as a people, we feel hopeful and empowered like weve never felt before. Please understand that at the heart of this is destructive party politics. It is the Vice Presidents party flexing its muscles to overthrow a duly elected government so they may once more regain control of government. Perhaps she feels time is running out for her because of developments in the Presidential Electoral Tribunal. So she and her allies have launched an expensive campaign using human rights and the War on Drugs as their excuse to bait the world into interfering in our domestic issues. When the Vice President says 7,000 people have been killed in the Presidents War on Drugs, she fails to mention that this is set against the backdrop of around 700,000 to one million successful arrests and surrenders. So the figure she presents to you is not even one percent. And surely with the sheer number of those involved in the illicit drug trade, some police operations see suspects resisting arrest and fighting back and the police having to defend themselves resulting in casualties. Every war has casualties. It is not a perfect war and Im certain there have been abuses along the way, and these need to be looked into and those responsible must be brought to justice. But exaggerating things does not help at all. In asking for the international community, the UN, to intervene, she uses the issue of human rights. Let us then talk about human rights. In responding to the call of Robredo, the international community must tread carefully lest it encroaches on our very sovereignty and our right to self-determination. And as a sovereign state, we have determined to wage an internal war (not a war against another nation) against the evils of drugs, a direction affirmed by our democratic processes when President Duterte who included the War on Drugs as one of his main programs of action, received an overwhelming mandate during the May 2016 Presidential Election. In short, the War on Drugs, by extension, has the peoples mandate. Any effort to disturb our democracy and sovereignty as a response to the Vice Presidents irresponsible and unfounded claims will subvert the will of the Filipino people and violate our Human Right of Suffrage enshrined in both the Philippine Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 21 of the international covenant). Once again, I am making this appeal to all member states of the United Nations and all organizations within the UN System to disregard the Philippine Vice Presidents statement which is, I reiterate, a grave misrepresentation of the prevailing sentiments of our people and a gross perversion of the facts surrounding the War on Drugs. To my fellow Filipinos, let us remain vigilant in the face of threats to our democracy by the very people who claim to defend it. Ako poy nanawagan na i-share ang video na ito upang ito ay umabot sa UN at sa ibat ibang foreign governments. Maraming salamat. Thank you and good evening.

02.01.2022 Happy 40th birthday to this beautiful lady Marie claire, thank you for your conttibution to our ORFAAI community.
02.01.2022 On behalf of the ORFAAI committee, I would like to express our gratitude for attending the 121st year of our Philippine Independence day held at the council car park on the 22nd of June, 2019. It was attended by quite a number of people even Bathurst, Nenita Weekes and friends. The mayor of Dubbo Cr Ben Shield officiated the ceremony assisted by our president Vic Avila, unfurling of both Australian- Filipino flags followed by the National anthems, it was a very humbling and s...obering moment that both countries are uniting together. Cr Shield spoke with kindness, and appreciating our contribution to the community. He also inducted the newly elected officers. The Council provided the refreshments after the Flag Raising. Our ORFAAI President Vic Avila read the messages from President Rodrigo Duterte and Department of Foreign Affairs secretary Teodoro Locsin on behalf of the Consul -General who was unable to attend the ceremony. We were reminded of our duties as Filipinos to protect and preserve our culture to the end of times. Our Pres. Vic Avila spoke on our objectives to help our fellow Filipinos and proudly encouraged Filipinos who are living in Dubbo to support our council and one another. Our big thank you to Leah Mc Kinney our PRO and family for hosting the dinner last night at her home 1 Giles St. Leah is a wonderful asset to our association her tireless contribution to our community, by opening her home for the new Filipino migrants arriving in Dubbo, looking for a place to stay she sacrificed her own comfort in order to give these new skilled migrants a room, she picks them up from the airport, and provides them meals and a social environments. Her kindness also showed last night the tireless effort in bringing people together for the dinner at their residence with delicious food and the open camp fire to keep every one cosy and warm. She makes and decorates beautiful cakes with our emblems. Leah is organising a hamper fundraiser and the proceeds of this fundraiser will be given to Marivic Rontale to help her sisters hospital bills in the Philippines who met an accident in Manila while riding on a motor bike. The driver that hit her is not cooperating with his responsibility. Tickets are now available its a dollar a ticket and there are good prizes to be won. The draw will be done during Claires 40th Birthday at her residence on the 13th July 2019. Please enquire with Leah for more details. And for those who bought the raffle tickets for baby Chunie who is recovering well thank you so much. The father received the proceeds of the raffles and thankful for the support. The Association expresses its appreciation for all donations especially to Raymond for the beautifully crafted and deliciously baked huge cake enough to share to everyone at the Flag raising. On behalf of ORFAAI thank you everyone! Kind regards, Joanalyn Woodrow- ORFAAI secretary See more
