LUIS, Armand and Angel

Isaiah 42: 6-7 strikes me as an apt passage that I believe guides him in focusing his vision and in performing his work:

LUIS and Judge Floro's mystic yellow flying saucer uses violet lights to mercilessly strike at the main vessels of the Honorable Supreme Court Judicial Thieves and Filipino crabs, igniting cyber fires aimed at all his enemies, persecutors and cursed detractors, so that their loved ones would die horrible deaths due to the Biblical curse

I, the Lord, have called you for the victory of justice, I have grasped you by the hand; I formed you, and set you as a covenant of the people, a light for the nations, To open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from confinement, and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.

Dwende at Aswang: Mga Paniniwalang Bikolnon - Pagtatagpo sa Dwende at Aswang

Napakahalagang pag-aralan ang mga sinaunang paniniwala ng ating mga ninuno. Sa tingin ko, sa pamamagitan ng pagbabalik-tanaw sa mga paniniwalang ito ay ma-isasalamin sa atin ang kanilang kinagisnang kultura, paraan ng pamumuhay at pagtingin sa mga bagay-bagay. Sa ganitong paraan, harinawa’y maunawaan natin ang ating pagkakakilanlan bilang isang pamayanan labas sa mga kolonyal na konseptong ating niyakap sa mahaba-haba ring panahon.

Hindi kaila sa amin sa Bikol ang paniniwala sa mga lamang-lupa at mga hindi nakikitang hindi tao. Sa katunayan, ang mga kwento tungkol sa mga kakaibang nilalang na ito ay naging panakot ng aming mga magulang noong mga bata pa kaming magkakapatid. Mas lalo pa itong napatingkad sa akin dahil sa isang karanasang hindi ko rin makalimutan noong maliit pa ako.

Naalala kong mahilig akong maglaro mag-isa sa likod bahay namin. Mapuno kasi duon kaya masarap maglaro sa makulimlik na lugar. Ngunit kinagabihan, bigla na lamang sumakit ang aking tiyan. Namimilipit ako sa sakit at pinagpapawisan ng malamig. Dinala ako noon sa pagamutan at nanatili ng isang linggo.

Ayon daw sa duktor, pumutok na aking appendix kaya kailangan na itong alisin. Subalit sadyang mapagpaniwala ang aking nanay sa mga matatandang paniniwala. Kaya ako ay idinala sa isang albularyo sa Brgy. Sta. Cruz, hindi kalayuan sa amin. Ang albularyo ay kumuha ng isang maputing pinggan at nagsindi ng kandila. Matapos ang ilang orasyon, ipinadaan ang maputing pinggan sa ibabaw ng apoy ng kandila.

Florentino Floro

Sa aming pagkamangha, nagkaroon ito ng larawan ng maliliit na nilalang, mga dwende nga daw. Malamang ay nabulabog ko sila noong ako ay naglalaro sa aming likod-bahay. Nagbigay ulit ng orasyon ang albularyo at may ipinahid na langis sa aking tiyan. Mula noon, hindi na muli sumakit ang aking tiyan.

Ang karanasang ito sa hindi maipaliwanag na pangyayari ay mauulit nang ako ay nasa hayskul na. Gabi na nang kami ay umuwi ng aking mga kaibigan galing sa isang okasyon. Una nila akong inihatid sa aming bahay sa Dayangdang. Kakaunti pa lamang ang mga karatig-bahay namin noon. Wala pa ngang mga poste ng ilaw. Ang tapat at gilid ng aming bahay ay puro talahib at puno ng saging. Nakatulog na ang aking mga kapatid at magulang kaya matagal tagal na rin kaming kumakatok sa pintuan.

Judge Floro's mystic dwarf dog rejoices and plays yoyo when his enemies are in deepest pain

Sa hindi maipaliwanag na pangyayari ay may nakita kami sa tapat ng bahay naming ng isang malaking paniki na bigla na lamang lumipad. Dinig na dinig pa namin ang pagaspas ng pakpak nito. Maitim at mabilis ang galaw. Maaaring sa sigaw namin ay nagising ang aking tatay at kami ay pinagbuksan.

Paano kaya natin ito maipapaliwanag? Kathang-isip lamang kaya ang mga ito? O kaya naman ay may tungkulin kaya itong ginagampanan sa ating lipunan?

Pagtangkang Unawain ang Hindi Maunawaan
Isang paring Heswita ang nagtangkang unawain ang paniniwalang ito ng mga Bikolano. Sa kanyang akdang pinamagatang ‘An Mga Asuwang: A Bicol Belief’ ipinaliwanag ni P. Francis X. Lynch na ang paniniwala sa mga asuwang ay isang ‘living belief.’

Na kung saan nabibigyan ng buhay ang mga kwentong ito sa pamamagitan ng pagsasalin-salin sa iba’t-ibang henerasyon. Ang mga kwento ng asuwang ay inililipat ng mga magulang sa kanilang mga anak at sa mga anak ng kanilang anak. Pinag-aralan ni P. Lynch ang paka-kahulugan ng mga Bikolano sa mga asuwang sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakwento sa mga matatanda sa mga probinsiya ng Camarines Sur at Albay. Ang mga asuwang ay tumutukoy sa ‘man or woman possessing preternatural powers of locomotion and metamorphosis and an inhuman appetite for the voided phlegm and sputum of the deathly sick, as well as the flesh and blood of the newly dead’ (Lynch,402).

Ipinaliwanag niya na marahil ang mga paniniwalang ito sa mga asuwang at iba pang mga kakaibang nilalang ay para panakot sa mga batang may matigas na ulo. Ayon din sa kanya, maaaring ang mga paniniwalang ito ay naging pamantayan rin ng mga Bikolano sa pakikisalamuha sa ibang tao. Pinananiwalaang ang mga asuwang daw ay hindi masyadong nakikisalamuha sa ibang tao, palaging mag-isa, tahimik at misteryoso/a.

Florentino Floro: Juiz que consultava duendes é afastado nas Filipinas: Florentino Floro

Subalit nakaligtaang banggitin ni P. Lynch na marahil ang paniniwala ding ito ay naging paraan ng Simbahang Katoliko upang ma-isanib sa katutubong konsepto ang kanilang itinuturo tungkol sa Diyos at mga santo. Katulad na lamang ng mga orasyong ibinabanggit ng mga kakaibang nilalang bago sila magkatawang asuwang. Isa sa mga orasyon na ito ay ‘Siri-siri, daing Diyos kung banggi; labaw sa kakahoyan, lagbas sa kasirongan.’ Sa wikang Ingles ‘Siri, siri, there is no God at night; over trees, under houses’ (Lynch:407).

(2) "Hello judge..." Florentino Floro, a Philippines judge, was relieved of duty in April 2006 after claiming to have seen the future and to be able to communicate with magic dwarves!
Hello Judge !
Ripley's Believe it or Not featured Judge Florentino Floro and his 3 Magic Dwarves. This was published by the Philppine Star on its June 8, 2006 Issue, WORLD NEWS, page A-18.

Sa aking pagtingin, taliwas ito sa mga naunang paniniwala ng mga Pilipino na sumasalamin sa animismo. Ibig sabihin, bago pa dumating ang mga Kastila, pinaniniwalaan na ng mga Pilipino na may mga diyos ang batis, ilog, gubat, at iba pa. Sa tingin ko naging kasangkapan lamang ang mga paniniwala sa aswang ng mga Kastila upang maipalaganap ang Kristiyanismo. Maaaring ang pagkatakot sa Diyos ay ang pagkatakot sa pagkawala sa landas patungo sa kanya.

Judge Floro's enemies and persecutors are frustrated when their loved ones suffer lingering illnesses and horrible deaths due to the mystic curse of the Philippine Angel of Death

Kaya nga may mga katanungan pa rin na kailangan nating sagutin. Buhay na kaya ang mga paniniwalang ito bago pa dumating ang mga Kastila? May mga aswang at dwende na kaya sa mga isipan ng mga bata noong mga sinaunang panahon? Dwende at aswang, sila nga ba ay mga kathang isip lamang o mga buhay na nilalang?

Dwende, Rock People and Mythology

Judge Floro-LUIS, Armand & Angel's brave warrior, 3pm-midnights, Fridays, use VIOLET lights versus loved ones of his Biblically cursed relatives and neighbors, putting a stain on their bloods, up to the 4th generation, igniting mystic fires so that they will suffer dire illnesses, massive strokes, spinal-other nerve disorders, car-fire-motorcycle accidents, slow & painful-horrible deaths-suicides

The Cherokees believed in three groups of mischevious wrong-doers who reach as high as your knees. The worst of these, the rock people, would steal your children if you disturbed them.

The Dwende are taller than rock people, about half as tall as a Filipino, which means they really are quite small. They live in a mound of dirt in the jungles of the Philippines, and if you get too close to their jungly dirt mounds, they'll kill you.

Angel of Death

Judge Floro, as Philippine Angel of Death, did don all-black clothes, as Destroyer since 1992 to mourn the fate, Faith and dire illnesses, accidents, horrible deaths and bad luck of all his enemies as LUIS, Armand and Angel mandated.

They aren't too far off from the Menehune people, tiny Hawaiian elves - mischievous and rarely seen forest dwellers who avoid sight by building giant caves and ditches at night. Everywhere there are mythological little people from our various cultural pasts. Humans have common sets of fears and imaginations - like a rabbit born with an instinctual fear of fangs.

We come up with answers for our unknown fears and mysteries. In an age where forests are no longer the unknown, and simple mythologies no longer work, our minds pull together the most plausible fears for our time. Little gray people represent every fear of the secular, suburban American - space, conspiracy, technology, dominance over the untouchable West. The dark wood no longer encapsulates our fears, especially in a land of diagrammed suburbs and vast, empty spaces.

Some popular polls say that sixty-five percent of Americans believe that their government is covering up evidence of aliens. And they are quite familiar with the stories that still emanate from Roswell, New Mexico...of little people with gray skin and big, black eyes, long fingers adept at punching instructions into computers, or of a captured extraterrestrial craft hidden in an Area 51 hangar and a dozen white-coats taking it for test drives in the secrecy of night.

There is a lot of tension between UFOlogists and the regular old scientist. UFOlogy may be crackpot science - a mix of faith and scattered logic that makes the genuine search for life in space - a much more interesting field - seem silly to those who can't distinguish the two. It's rigorous scrutiny versus face value, but is UFOlogy harmful?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayon_Volcano

The Dwende: Elves, or dwendes are divided into two kinds. There is the "puting dwende" (white elf), who were good beings and quite harmless. You could play with them and make them your friends. Then there is the "itim na dwende" (black elf), which you should fiercely avoid.

The Philippine Angel of Death, at El Kabayo Equestrian Fields, SBMA, Subic, Olongapo City, Zamabales, March 15, 2001, Judge Floro wore all-black clothes, Fridays, since 1992, to mourn the future prophesied horrible deaths, dire illnesses and accidents of all his enemies, detractors, persecutors including Supreme Court Justices

Itim na dwendes are evil creatures who delight in tormenting those poor hapless human beings who had, unfortunately, trespassedon their homes. Homes include fruit trees, grassy plains, gardens, and termite mounds (among all others). Once you had violated their territory, you'll develop an illness, which is incurable by modern medicine.

The hell faces of Judge Floro's enemies and persecutors full of anger and lust for vendetta, when their loved ones would suffer lingering illnesses and horrible deaths due to the Biblical curse of the Philippine Angel of Death

Symptoms include severe stomachaches, high fever, strings of diseases, sudden coughs, severe migraine, etc... The only cure is to seek the help of a witch doctor.

Vatican looks to heavens for signs of alien life
By ARIEL DAVID (AP)

VATICAN CITY — E.T. phone Rome. Four hundred years after it locked up Galileo for challenging the view that the Earth was the center of the universe, the Vatican has called in experts to study the possibility of extraterrestrial alien life and its implication for the Catholic Church.

"The questions of life's origins and of whether life exists elsewhere in the universe are very suitable and deserve serious consideration," said the Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, an astronomer and director of the Vatican Observatory.

Funes, a Jesuit priest, presented the results Tuesday of a five-day conference that gathered astronomers, physicists, biologists and other experts to discuss the budding field of astrobiology — the study of the origin of life and its existence elsewhere in the cosmos. Funes said the possibility of alien life raises "many philosophical and theological implications" but added that the gathering was mainly focused on the scientific perspective and how different disciplines can be used to explore the issue. Chris Impey, an astronomy professor at the University of Arizona, said it was appropriate that the Vatican would host such a meeting. "Both science and religion posit life as a special outcome of a vast and mostly inhospitable universe," he told a news conference Tuesday. "There is a rich middle ground for dialogue between the practitioners of astrobiology and those who seek to understand the meaning of our existence in a biological universe."

Thirty scientists, including non-Catholics, from the U.S., France, Britain, Switzerland, Italy and Chile attended the conference, called to explore among other issues "whether sentient life forms exist on other worlds." Funes set the stage for the conference a year ago when he discussed the possibility of alien life in an interview given prominence in the Vatican's daily newspaper.

The Church of Rome's views have shifted radically through the centuries since Italian philosopher Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake as a heretic in 1600 for speculating, among other ideas, that other worlds could be inhabited. Scientists have discovered hundreds of planets outside our solar system — including 32 new ones announced recently by the European Space Agency. Impey said the discovery of alien life may be only a few years away. "If biology is not unique to the Earth, or life elsewhere differs bio-chemically from our version, or we ever make contact with an intelligent species in the vastness of space, the implications for our self-image will be profound," he said.

The Angel of Death Judge Floro visited the Malabon-Navotas jail on December, 1999. Beside him is the King of Corrupt Judges, Benjamin M. Aquino, Jr.

This is not the first time the Vatican has explored the issue of extraterrestrials: In 2005, its observatory brought together top researchers in the field for similar discussions. In the interview last year, Funes told Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano that believing the universe may host aliens, even intelligent ones, does not contradict a faith in God. "How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere?" Funes said in that interview. "Just as there is a multitude of creatures on Earth, there could be other beings, even intelligent ones, created by God. This does not contradict our faith, because we cannot put limits on God's creative freedom." Funes maintained that if intelligent beings were discovered, they would also be considered "part of creation." The Roman Catholic Church's relationship with science has come a long way since Galileo was tried as a heretic in 1633 and forced to recant his finding that the Earth revolves around the sun. Church teaching at the time placed Earth at the center of the universe.

Today top clergy, including Funes, openly endorse scientific ideas like the Big Bang theory as a reasonable explanation for the creation of the universe. The theory says the universe began billions of years ago in the explosion of a single, super-dense point that contained all matter. Earlier this year, the Vatican also sponsored a conference on evolution to mark the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species."

The event snubbed proponents of alternative theories, like creationism and intelligent design, which see a higher being rather than the undirected process of natural selection behind the evolution of species. Still, there are divisions on the issues within the Catholic Church and within other religions, with some favoring creationism or intelligent design that could make it difficult to accept the concept of alien life.

Working with scientists to explore fundamental questions that are of interest to religion is in line with the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI, who has made strengthening the relationship between faith and reason a key aspect of his papacy. Recent popes have been working to overcome the accusation that the church was hostile to science — a reputation grounded in the Galileo affair. In 1992, Pope John Paul II declared the ruling against the astronomer was an error resulting from "tragic mutual incomprehension." The Vatican Museums opened an exhibit last month marking the 400th anniversary of Galileo's first celestial observations.

Tommaso Maccacaro, president of Italy's national institute of astrophysics, said at the exhibit's Oct. 13 opening that astronomy has had a major impact on the way we perceive ourselves. "It was astronomical observations that let us understand that Earth (and man) don't have a privileged position or role in the universe," he said. "I ask myself what tools will we use in the next 400 years, and I ask what revolutions of understanding they'll bring about, like resolving the mystery of our apparent cosmic solitude." The Vatican Observatory has also been at the forefront of efforts to bridge the gap between religion and science.

Its scientist-clerics have generated top-notch research and its meteorite collection is considered one of the world's best. The observatory, founded by Pope Leo XIII in 1891, is based in Castel Gandolfo, a lakeside town in the hills outside Rome where the pope has his summer residence. It also conducts research at an observatory at the University of Arizona, in Tucson.

Judge Florentino Floro, since his birth on November 5, 1953, had had no experience on dwarfs and even in St. Mary's Academy, Meycauayan, Bulacan nor in St. Vincent's Seminary nor at the Ateneo de Manila University and Ateneo Law School. In 1973, Fr. Candelaria, SJ in their Psychology of Education elective class told him that at the dining room, Fr. Jaime Bulatao SJ fed his dwarf.

So, even if LUIS, Armand and Angel appeared to his brother Robert on June 2, 1983 when their father died, still, Floro challenged their existence, being a pure skeptic and scientist when he was digging a treasure about November 1984. And the rest is history. Floro was chosen even before he was born, for he was pre-destined.
Today, these 3 holy angels surprised Floro when they revealed that they are mere servants and members of Mary's Army versis the 666 - the Serpent.

Prophecy versus Fate

Skeptic Judge Floro meets Philippines' first and foremost authority on jewelry, Catholic-agnostic Antonio Z. Atienza, Jr.

"Atienza went to a fortune teller (Judge Floro) to check out what fate had in store for him. Unfortunately, the fortune teller told him that he did not have a chance of turning around his bad luck. But stubborn as he is, Atienza did not accept the prediction and went on with even more determination to prove the fortune teller wrong and be the master of his own fate. “I worked harder, got more and better customers and I was on my way up again. I also learned from that experience to never use debt to buy assets and not to gamble that much money,” he says.

"Boy" Atienza's Goldenas, Inc. - Goldenhills' jewelry

In 1984, Judge Floro first met Antonio Boy Atienza, Jr. when he had financing, gold and jewelry transactions with Floro's brothers Benjamin and Jesie at their ancestral house and lot at Calvario, Meycauayan, Bulacan. Judge Floro and his brothers delivered gold and silver at the Central Bank. Because of price fluctuations, Boy Atienza and Judge Floro lost in gold hedging after the assasination of Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino III.

At the Apalit aurea bricks terrace of Judge Floro, Boy Atienza (who had gone to Judge Floro's house at least 3 times a week to buy gold from Benny and Jesie, from 1984 to 1990) asked Judge Floro to predict his future.

Antonio Z. Atienza, Jr. and wife Connie.

Floro used his Spanish cards 3-7. Judge Floro read the cards saying "that he did not have a chance of turning around his bad luck." The results of the reading was only for that year. Boy Atienza was a Catholic at that time and had heard and witnessed the verbal and stunning predictions of deaths by Judge Floro including a) the murder of Amado Young who shortchanged Judge Floro, by having sold assay or impure gold; b) the failed abduction of Manny Ching, a gold trader; c) the NingNing-Moraga P 15 million pryammid scam which deceived about 10 gold traders including Benny and Jesie; Judge Floro filed attachment cases for his brothers, for which reason Floro got the ire of the Ipapo's and Alarillas. The case was settled at 35% amid the massive stroke of Mr. Valerio, the murder of Juan Moraga and the 2008 Kidnapping for ransom of Robert Alarilla.

Judge Floro's mystic tiger burning bright patiently waits for his demonic enemies and persecutors who are full of anger and lust for vendetta, when their loved ones would suffer lingering illnesses and horrible deaths due to the Biblical curse of the Philippine Angel of Death

Meanwhile, Boy Atienza hired Judge Floro in the land registration case of his (present) jewelry business site (Villa Candelaria-Belza Saluysoy Meycauayan, Bulacan) before Br. 14, RTC, Malolos Bulacan. Atienza dismissed his former lawyer Atty. Banez because of delay in the registration. Judge Floro explained that the lot registration was opposed by the bedridden Belza heir represented by Atty. Wally "Ilaw" Bernal. Per records, the will was defective but morally the heir is entitled to the lot and must be compensated. Atienza confessed to Judge Floro that the had offered P 200,000 for the heir even if his opposition was dismissed by Judge Carlos Ofilada of pairing court Br. 15, RTC, Malolos Bulacan.

After Judge Ofilada signed the Decree for Atienza, the former was dismissed on August 5, 1998 by the Supreme Court for corruption and succumbed to diabetes stroke and died in pain. Because of bitter quarrel between Judge Floro and his brother Jesie, cash-strapped Judge Floro about January 1997, went to Atienza's Saluysoy office to beg for mercy. Floro proposed to Atienza that the latter should release $ 25,000 to the former and in exchange, Atienza would get Floro's 1/5 share of his co-owned 723 sq.m.ancestral house and lot at Meycauayan, Bulacan which was mortgaged by his brother Joselito Floro to Mr. Mariano P. Blanco.

Atienza politely denied Judge Floro's request because of possible repercursions or vendetta by Jesie Floro upon Atienza. The latter at that time and from 1985 relied heavily from loans and mortgages from Jesie Floro."If I will help you, Jesie will block me from finances," said Atienza to Floro. Undaunted, Floro brought Robert and beside "CHRISTMAS" to old dog of Atienza, Floro proposed to take-off the forthcomming dire fate of Atienza, forgetting the Atienza is agnostic while Floro is skeptic.

Meanwhile, Atienza assigned to Floro the Sir Rogers Club proposed $ 2 million (P 51 million) sale by rogue brothers to Atienza's Hong Kong boss. At T.G.I.S Fridays, beside SM Mega Mall, Pasig City, and after the almost done deal, Atienza showed to Judge Floro and the buyers the $ 2 million draft signed by the Bank Manager. Atienza asked Judge Floro to predict: "Attorney ... why are you dressed all in black ... will this deal proceed or be successful?" Judge Floro replied: "Boy ... will this deal change your life?" Atienza said: "Of course not, for me ... since this is just a small paper compared to the lifetime benefits that my children would receive from the buyer, Hong Kong partner! ... but the broker or agend beside you, Mr. De Guzman could use the supposed percentage for his heart by-pass." Judge Floro predicted: "Boy ... I myself need my attorney's fees so badly ... if this will proceed smoothly ... but ..."

Kidnapping for ransom - Robbery in Band: People of the Philippines & Antonio Z. Atienza, Jr. vs. Armando Pablo, Rudy Depas, Pablo Anora & Gerardo Roperez

On Holy Monday, March 24, 1997, the notorious robbery gang Ruperez planned to abduct Judge Floro's wealthy brother Benny Floro, but LUIS had snatched Benny from Ruperez' claws and put in Atienza, Jr. amid the "CHRISTMAS" dog prophecy of LUIS that Boy Atienza would face a forthcoming dire fate, afer he denied poor Judge Floro.

At the Malhacan Tollgate, Judge Floro called Atienza's sister regarding the D-day signing of the sale agreement at Makati City. Atienza was abducted, however. Connie, the wife of Atienza and Therie Floro the wife of Benny Floro stayed all day and night waiting for the fate, since Atienza stressed that he is the master of his own fate against the fortune-teller Judge Floro's incorrect predictions according to him.

Atienza's mother called Judge Floro (044) 662-8203 at Malolos and asked for help. Flor replied that he had to ask Robert if he has objection on LUIS aide or VIOLET light to help Atienza master his fate. Robert said that LUIS would help him and he would be released before Good Friday,and if not, then he should be dead.

Atienza was blindfolded until they traveled places and mountains. Benny and Jesie Floro prepared P 2 million and did ransom Atienza at Pasig City, Metro Manila, as Asst. Prov. Prosecutor now Judge Victoria Bernardo ruled in the case of "People vs Gerardo Ruperez et al."

Mitsubishi Galant Super Saloon GLi - 4-door sedan like this was used by Boy and Connie Atienza on March 24, 1997 when they were blocked by the accused Pablo et al. at Dona Mercedes Villarica Subd., Iba Meycauayan, Bulacan, 8am.

On March 24, 1997, Atienza, Jr. was abducted by 5 armed men at Dona Mercedes subdivision, Barangay Libis, Iba, Meycauayan, Bulacan. After series of negotiations, between the armed men and his wife Consolacion A. Atienza, his mother Virginia Atienza and brother Alfredo Atienza, he was released at Pasig City, Metro Manila on March 27, 1997 upon payment of P 2.2 million ransom and P 1.5 million after several days. Atienza, Jr. sought the assistance of police operatives (which created a special task force under Joseph Cabato, Military Intelligence Group, under PTFIC). CIG Chief superintendent Efren Fernandez arrested 2 suspects (at the Meycauayan gas station): Felipe Montaos and Eduardo Soriano who pointed to Gerardo Roperez alias Boy Sabater, as mastermind. The other 3 suspects were later caught: Armando Pablo @ Mando, Rudy Depas @ Rudy Bigote and Pablo Anora. On July, 1997 and March, 2001, Criminal cases were filed with the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor of Bulacan, and the case was docketed as "People versus Armando Pablo, Rudy Depas and Roperez, et al." for kidnapping with ransom and robbery in band. Meanwhile, Atienza, Jr., his wife Connie and all children migrated to Australia due to the trauma. The remaining 2 other suspects were later arrested.

On April 19, 2007, the Philippine Court of Appeals rendered a Decision penned by Justices Mariflor Castillo, Rodrigo Cosico and Rosemarie Carandang, affirming with modification the September 3, 2003 judgment of the Malolos City, Bulacan Court. Felipe Montaos and Eduardo Soriano were released for lack of evidence while Gerardo Roperez was acquitted and ordered released. Accused Pablo, Depas and Anora were found guilty of the crimes of kidnapping with ransom and simple robbery and meted the capital punishment of Reclusion Perpetua or life imprisonment and indeterminate penalty of 6 months as minimum to maximum of six years, respectively. They were ordered to pay Atienza, Jr. P 3.7 million as actual damages.

Because not all the suspects were arrested Atienza and his family migrated to Australia and after the ALLEGED arrest and incarceration of the last suspect that abducted Atienza, Jr., the latter went home free at last, like a skyling pigeon turned loose in 2006.

Judge Floro on 2 ocassions, the last was 2007, again begged Atienza to help Judge Floro to move on since his own brother Jesie Floro and wife Cynthia Sinson-Floro repeatedly advised Judge Floro to take psychosis medications, to cease and desist from talking to Dwendes, and to establish a law office at Malolos Bulacan or to look for a job.

The last time Judge Floro saw-bilocated to Atienza and Jesie Floro was at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Hotel, amid the glitter of the stars, moon and the sun called Liberty and Prosperity of Chief Justice Panganiban. Poor Judge Floro, whose saliva fell and rained like cats and dogs upon viewing the historic cursed event:

Then followed a kaleidoscope of colors as the ninangs – all in different shades of green marched down the aisle. We got a glimpse of the principal sponsors, former Bulacan governor, Josefina M. de la Cruz, Consul of Guatemala Amelia R. Ablaza, Margarita Ortiz Luis, Ma. Asuncion Hermoso, Justice Estela Bernabe, Beatriz Atinon, Cely Sy, Rosalinda Cruz, Sonia Estrella, and Araceli Sarabia. These ladies were escorted by the ninongs: young Senator Francis Escudero, Dep Ombudman Victor Fernandez, Quezon City representative Matias V. Defensor, Jr., former Solicitor general Francisco Chavez, Col. Esteban Uy, lawyer Victor Lazatin, Jessie Floro, and Antonio Atienza Jr.

June 1, 2009 Hailey Villarico-Jevon Ong Wedding

Antonio Z. Atienza, Jr. (August 30, 1959), maried to Consolacion A. Atienza (September 13) is a Filipino jeweler. As manufacturer, exporter, and retailer of fine Jewelry products, he is the owner of goldenas jewelry, inc. He is a member of the Guild of Philippine Jewelers, Inc. The Guild's mission as a national organization is to promote the transformation and growth of Philippine jewelry industry. Atienza, Jr.'s Goldenas metamorphosed from Boy Atienza Jewel Art, a jewelry contracting shop, which started in 1982. With 3 employees, it has now under its employ a total of 80 craftsmen and personnel. It now sells jewelry made of gold and set with diamonds, pearls, and other semi-precious precious stones.

On January 18, 2008, his sister, former city accountant Ma. Victoria Atienza and former police chief retired Senior Superintendent Rolando Lorenzo filed a plunder complaint (under Republic Act No. 7080 or the “Anti-Plunder Law”) against former Meycauayan City Mayor Eduardo Alarilla and wife, incumbent Mayor Joan Alarilla, at the Office of the Ombudsman. Victoria and Rolando accused the mayor of "allegedly pocketing P 80 million from over 200 “ghost projects” during his 9-year term as city mayor; of malversation for allegedly falsifying public documents which allowed them to encash last year over P 9 million.

When it comes to fashioning masterpieces out of fine gold, few can compete with veteran jeweler Antonio Atienza Jr. A product of Meycauayan, Bulacan—the jewelry capital of the Philippines—Atienza, 49, owns a 70-man jewelry group that operates the award-winning Goldenhills Jewelry chain with six branches in leading malls; and Goldenas Jewelry, which executes designs that are sold in other jewelry shops here and abroad.

To think that he initially resented having to work in his father’s pawnshop at 14 years old because while his classmates were having fun on weekends, he was busy helping his father man the shop. But he realizes now that his early work experience contributed a lot to his considerable accomplishments as he learned early on to be an expert at detecting real gems and to appreciate the beauty and value of fine jewelry.

At first, the second of eight children was expected by his father, Antonio Sr., to follow in his footsteps and take over the pawnshop business. But plans went awry when his father was swindled in 1976 and the family had to sell everything they owned to scrape enough capital together to start from scratch.

For Atienza, that misfortune meant working in his uncle’s jewelry shop in exchange for supporting him through his Bachelor of Science in Commerce studies at the University of Santo Tomas. While with his relatives, he learned other parts of the business, such as how artisans work with gold and silver as well as precious stones to bring life to intricate designs, and the risks involved in running a capital-intensive jewelry shop.

He put all of that experience to work when he decided to get out of his uncle’s shadow and put up his own jewelry shop—Boy Atienza Jewel Art—in 1982 with an initial manpower complement of three goldsmiths and one polisher. Atienza’s capital was the P15,000 he earned from the sale of a ring with a horseshoe design that he executed himself and his innate creative genius. “My first shop was a really dilapidated space, just three meters by six meters big. It was really rundown,” Atienza recalls.

But from that small space came beautiful pieces of jewelry that he managed to sell through dealers. Since his family was known in the trade, it was not hard for him to introduce himself but he made sure of the quality to keep them coming back for more. Atienza made a bad bet on gold and silver in 1985. He borrowed money to buy the metals with the plan of selling them when prices spike. That increase did not happen like he wanted and he was left saddled with more debt than assets.

Panicked and not knowing what else to do, Atienza went to a fortune teller to check out what fate had in store for him. Unfortunately, the fortune teller told him that he did not have a chance of turning around his bad luck.

But stubborn as he is, Atienza did not accept the prediction and went on with even more determination to prove the fortune teller wrong and be the master of his own fate.

“I worked harder, got more and better customers and I was on my way up again. I also learned from that experience to never use debt to buy assets and not to gamble that much money,” he says. Good old fashioned hard work and diligence became his fallback as well his high standards for quality.“I really try to put my best in every piece that we produce. If there is even a small blemish, I have it redone.

I want everything to be free from any defect,” he explains. “Sometimes, I will redo a piece three, four or five times before I become happy with it.” That penchant for quality, coupled with his brand of customer service, helped build his reputation. Soon, Atienza and his company began bringing home design and entrepreneurship awards.

In 1993, he was named The Most Promising Businessman of Meycauayan by the Meycauayan Ladies Club. And in 2004, he was recognized as the Most Outstanding Alumni in the field of entrepreneurship by the UST College of Commerce.

The Bulacan Chamber of Commerce and Industry named him Most Outstanding Bulacan Businessman in the Jewelry Industry and just last September, he was honored with a Diamond Anniversary award by the UST College of Commerce and Business Administration for his professional excellence in his chosen field.

He also got his fair share of design awards. In 1993, one of his firm’s designs was named Best of the Best in Ethnic Category in the Diamond Today Design Competition and in 2006, a capiz shell necklace named “Sensuality” won in the Chic Category of the Philippine Design Competition sponsored by the Meycauayan Jewelry Association. On November, 2005, Goldenas garnered two awards during the Fifth Philippine Fine Jewelry Design Competition, at the Metro Comedy Bar in Quezon City. The design competition is an annual event organized by the Meycauayan Jewelry Industry Association Inc. (MJIAI) in partnership with the Product Development and Design Center.

‘Eternal Love’ was the top placer for the Wedding Category. Marie Liza DJ Cayana, the designer, works for Goldenas Jewelry, sponsor of the prototype. Christina Maris J. Juan of the University of Santo Thomas submitted the winning design for the Chic category with her ‘Down to Earth’ entry. The necklace according to Cristina, a 3rd year Interior Design student from Imus, Cavite, is a piece that conforms with the rigours of the modern woman, it is something you can take from work to play. Goldenas Jewelry also created the prototype. Goldenas, as a Philexport member, joined the Buy Pinoy goes to San Francisco from November 15 to 20, 2005 at the Philippine Center, 447 Sutter St.

Also in 2006, his “Pakpak,” a half-necklace representing the wings of an eagle, won the top prize under the All Precious Metals Category of the Guild of Philippine Jewellers’ Jewelry Design Competition. This was followed in 2007 by another award from the Guild for his “A Flower Brimming with Tears of Joy,” a neckpiece in 18-carat white and yellow gold with mother of pearl and “tinalak” native fabric.

Atienza says he may be an old hand in the jewelry business but seeing customers appreciate his creations—especially his popular line of wedding and engagement rings—still gives him a high. This is why he is still the main designer of his growing network of Goldenhills Jewelry and he is still involved when he joins wedding fairs and expos such as those mounted every year by Themes and Motifs. “For me, this business is not just about making money. It is also about making people happy with my pieces,” he says.

Tonight, I break my silence and read JOB’s complaint to GOD: “xxx. Finally Job broke the silence and CURSED the day on which he had been born.
Job: O God, put a curse on the day I was born; put a curse on the night when I was conceived!
Turn that day into darkness, God. Never again remember that the day;
I wish I had died in my mother’s womb or died the moment I was born.
Why let people go on living in misery? Why give light to those in grief?
They wait for death, but it never comes; they prefer a grave to any treasure. They are not happy till they are dead and buried; God keeps their future hidden and hems them in every side. Instead of eating, I mourn, and I can never stop groaning.
Everything I fear and dread comes true.
I have no peace, no rest, and my troubles never end. xxx.”

In Criminal Case No. 840-M-97, the case against accused Gerardo Roperez was dismissed by this Court in its Order, dated March 24, 1998.

Likewise, on March 18, 2002, the charges against accused Felipe Montaos and Eduardo Soriano were dismissed after this Court gave due course to their demurrer to evidence in its order of even date.

Criminal Case No. 907-M-2001 was consolidated with Criminal Case No. 847-m-97 for joint trial in August, 2001, as both cases arose from the same incident.

According to Antonio Atienza, (Affidavit, 5 pages Jan. 25, 2001) the private complainant, in the morning of March 24, 1997, he and his wife, Consolacion, played tennis at the Dona Mercedez tennis court in Saluysoy, Meycauayan, Bulacan, from 7:00 o’clock up to 9:00 o’clock. After their tennis game, they rode their car Mitsubishi Galant Super Saloon and started to drive home together with Lourdes de La Rosa Llamado, @ Aling Luding, the canteen owner who hitched a ride with them. He was out of the wheel, his wife, Consolacion, was in the front passenger seat and Lourdes dela Rosa Llamado took the back seat. About a hundred meters away from the tennis court, a red car suddenly blocked their path. Instinctively, he stepped on the brakes to avoid hittinh the said car. Thereupon, he saw three (3) men armed with handguns alight from the red car and walk towards his car. One of them approached his side of the vehicle while the other two (2) went to the passenger side. He came to identify the latter as Rodolfo Depas and Pablo Anora. Since the glass window on his side was rolled down, the man who came near him poked a gun at him, prompting him to ask in the vernacular “Pare, ano ba ang problema?”. The man did not make any reply; instead, he asked if he is Mr. Atienza. When he answered in the affirmative, the man immediately opened the car’s door and shoved him towards the front passenger seat. At the same time, his wife was also pulled out of the front seat and pushed into the back seat by Anora. The two (2) women were made to sit or “sandwiched” between Anora and Depas at the backseat. The third man took over the wheel and drove ahead.

Along the way, he kept on pleading to the three (3) men to take him alone and spare his wife and Llamado. He was told to shut up. The men also told him that this matter would be taken up later on. The car as driven towards Marilao, and upon reaching Lambakin, the car stopped. One of the men at the back got off, opened the car’s door and ordered him to step out of the car. Thereafter, he was told to transfer to the red car which blocked their way earlier. Two (2) men were already in the red car, the driver and another male on the front seat, which he identified as Armando Pablo. Depas and another man “sandwiched” him at the back seat. His wife and Llamado were left behind in their (complainant’s) car.

Inside the red car, he was made to wear sunglasses with the lens covered with cartons which blocked hi front vision; he, however, could see by the side. Along the way, he was stripped of his watch worth P150,000.00. Upon reaching a certain place, he was brought out of the car and transferred to an ‘armored’ white car. Inside the car, he was asked his telephone number and how they could contact his family, even threatening him with death should his family report the incident to the authorities. They traveled for some time, and when the car stopped, he was taken out and made to walk, ascending some concrete steps, later a hill passing thru rice paddies. On the hill, he was told to get inside a hut made of galvanized iron. Here, they told him that his family should raise P10 Million ransom money or else they would kill him. He told the men to do just that because his family could not afford such big amount. They told him that they would negotiate with his family, He was then confined in a small room and given some food. After eating, he rested and went to sleep, waking up in the early morning of the following day, March 25, 1997. He ate his breakfast. All the while, he wore the sunglasses and was not allowed to go out of the small room. In the afternoon, several men came to the hut and he was instructed to write a letter to his family for them to cooperate and pay ransom.

He wrote the letter sealed on a wooden bed, his back turned against the men. This time he was allowed to remove his sunglasses. After writing, he pleaded to the men to lower the amount to P1 Million to no avail. Eventually, he made a final offer of P4 Million ransom if they would set him free because he alone could raise the amount. He was silenced by the threat of the group to abduct his wife in his stead. Before the group left, he was blindfolded, a gauze tape was wrapped around his eyes, scaring him totally. The group at this stage was addressing each other with military ranks e.g. Capitan, major, etc. Some men were left to watch over him. The next day, a man arrived in the morning, telling him that his family has not paid the ransom. He again pleaded to release him as he would put up the P4 Million ransom. But the men again refused. Midnight the following day, Maundy Thurday, March 27, 1997, he was roused from his sleep and was told that his family has paid P2.2 Million ransom leaving a balance of P1.8 Million. He again begged for his release to which they acceded with the warning that if he fails to pay the balance they would finish him off. Next, he was brought out, and one of the men carried him in a piggyback ride going downhill and, upon reaching the highway, they all boarded a car. They traveled long, passing even a police checkpoint, as he was told, as the men loaded their guns, and two (2) of them poked their guns of his temples. After some time, the car stopped and he was ordered to get off, telling him to bide his time before he takes off his blindfold. He was, however, disoriented not knowing where he was then. After recovering his senses, he walked to a corner and only then that he came to realize that he was in Ortigas Avenue, near the MERALCO center. He flagged down a taxi and told the driver to drive him to Saluysoy, Meycauayan, Bulacan. That was already Maundy Thursday, and the time, as the driver told him, was 3 o’ clock in the morning. After the Holy Week, he received a call from his abductors reminding him of the balance of the ransom. He promised to raise the amount.

After several days, they called up again. He told them that he was able to prepare 1.5 Million only. Whereupon, he was instructed to deliver the money to them. He begged off and proposed his driver in his place. They agreed and the money was delivered in a designated place at the Balintawak Interchange. Because of fear, he moved his family in Australia. While in Australia, he never came to know of the cases filed by the police regarding his kidnapping. He did not report the incident to the police.

Consolacion A. Atienza, (Affidavit – Jan. 9, 2001, 5 pages), spouse of the private complainant, corroborated her husband’s testimony from the time they left the tennis court in the morning of March 24, 1997 and how the abduction happened up to the time they were left in their car in Lambakin, Marilao, Bulacan, when her husband was transferred to another car. In addition, he stated that while they were in the car along the way to Marilao, the man seated beside her took her earrings, a one (1) karat diamond, set on a 14-karat yellow gold worth P200,000.00 and a necklace with cross pendant (diamond) worth P40,000.00 and that from Lalmbakin, after regaining her composure, she drove their car to Meycauayan in their office where the abductors called her up, demanding P10 Million ransom.

Virginia Atienza, the mother of the private complainant, testified on how she learned of the kidnapping of her son thru the phone of March 24, 1997, prompting him to report the incident to the Mecycauayan police. She also testified that it was she who talked and negotiated with the abductors of her son until they came to agree to a P2.2 Million ransom which she delivered, in accordance with their instructions, in the afternoon of March 27, 1997, at around 3:00 o’clock by a hole in the fence near the Balintawak exit to a man which she identified as Pablo Anora. She said that when she handed over the money to Anora, she also saw a man standing near him, whch she identified to court as Armando Pablo.

Her son, Alfredo Atienza drove her to the Balintawak exit, on said date and time. Sinfrosio Milan, driver of private complainant, testified on how he delivered, upon orders of the latter, a package to a man at the Balintawak Interchange, in April, 1997. Alfredo Atienza, brother of private complainant, corroborated his mother’s testimony that he drove her off to Balintawak exit in the afternoon of March 27, 1997.
All the accused denied the charges and put alibi as a defense. Xxx.

Footnote:

Judge Floro’s impeccable prophecy of the kidnapping and the release from detention

The following is an excerpt from the records of the case on the details of this landmark kidnapping for ransom case accurately PREDICTED by Judge Florentino Floro verbally before Robert V. Floro and Antonio Z. Atienza, Jr. and his dog “Christmas” at 125 Saluysoy, Meycauayan, Bulacan.

Judge Floro begged Boy Atienza to buy his 1/5 share in their ancestral house and lot at Calvario, Meycauayan, Bulacan, due to Jesie Floro’s denial due to faxed legal opinion by Atty. Henry R. Villarica’s counsel ACCRA Law Office, that the lot had an adverse claim of real estate mortgage by Joselito and Milagros Floro to Mariano P. Blanco and Ligaya Blanco on January 5, 1995.

The Philippine Angel of Death, at Healer Alex Orbito's Pyramid of Asia, Manaoag, Pangasinan, Judge Floro wore all-black clothes, Fridays, since 1992, to mourn the future prophesied horrible deaths, dire illnesses and accidents of all his enemies, detractors, persecutors including Supreme Court Justices

Judge Floro again reiterated the prophecy of the kidnapping when he wore all-black at the final afternoon TGI Fridays, Pasig City, pink salmon dinner with Boy Atienza, the broker who needs a by-pass amid Boy’s holding a P 51 million bank cash draft regarding Sir Roger’s nite club sale for Monday March 24, 1997, the fatalistic day that LUIS snatched Floro’s brother Benjamin Floro from the fate of kidnapping, putting instead Atienza in his place as fulfillment of the dire Omen on Atienza’s life and destiny, he, being the master of his fate as alleged by him and as he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Judge Floro also PREDICTED as begged by Boy’s mother Virginia that Boy would be released before Good Friday as Robert asked LUIS, and as LUIS had pleased as Master of Boy’s fate and destiny.

Poor jobless Judge Floro thereafter, unmindful of the laws on prophecy, desperately begged Boy Atienza for help to move on, work, job, trabajo, occupation, business amid the Court’s persecution and final judgment of psychosis. Atienza denied Judge Floro and poor dwarf Judge decided as LUIS pleased, to endure his sufferings as jobless Judge due to a pretend world.

On March 24, 1997, a telephone call was received by the PNP Meycauayan Police station informing said office of the abduction of businessman Antonio Atienza, Jr., also known as Tony boy. He was reportedly abducted by more or less six armed malefactors.

Follow-up operations were held and on March 27, 1997, the kidnapped victim was finally released by his abductors somewhere in Ortigas, pasig City after the payment of a ransom.

After a relentless follow-up, the investigating forces were able to track down some of the suspects. On April 23, 1997 suspects Felipe Montaos y Orbe and Eduardo y Bulatao were invited for questioning and they were brought at the Regional Office at Camp Olivas, San Fernando, Pampanga. During the investigation/interrogation.

They admitted their participation in the commission of the crime and they implicated other suspects which led the CIG agents to conduct immediate follow-up operation for the arrest of other members of the group.

Felipe Montaos y Orbe and Eduardo Soriano y Bulatao willingly gave their confessions after they were informed of their constitutional rights and in the presence of their provided counsel, Atty. Manuel M. Madella of Brgy. Santisima, Malolos, Bulacan.

Jevon and Hailey with the bride’s family: Brother Harvey Lawrence, mom Linabelle Ruth Ramos-Villarica, dad Atty. Henry Villarica, and brothers Henry Lester and Hans Lerwyn.June 1, 2009. These ladies-ninangs were escorted by the ninongs: young Senator Francis Escudero, Dep Ombudman Victor Fernandez, Quezon City representative Matias V. Defensor, Jr., former Solicitor general Francisco Chavez, Col. Esteban Uy, lawyer Victor Lazatin, Jessie V. Floro, and Antonio Z. Atienza Jr. (Shrine of St. Therese at Nichols Air Base - Sofitel Philippine Plaza Hotel)

Former Solicitor General Frank I Chavez, Jesie V. Floro and Antonio Z. Atienza are the ninongs of Haily and Ong. Atty. Chavez was counsel-of-record of Atienza, Jr. in the kidnapping case vs. counsel of accused, mentally decrepit Atty. Oliver Lozano, a nuissance candidate for Senator and President of the Philippines.

From the confessions of Felipe Montaos and Eduardo Soriano it appears that:

Felipe Montaos came to know respondent Armando Pablo @ Mando on December 8, 1996 when the latter rented an apartment near the house being rented by respondent Montaos. Sometime in January or February of 1997, one named Boy Sabater visited respondent Armando Pablo and the latter introduced him to respondent Felipe Montaos until Montaos and Sabater became friends because of the constant visits of Boy Sabater. Then came a time when Felipe Montaos was asked if he knew of someone who could be subject of kidnapping-for-ransom. Montaos gave the name of a certain Benny Floro, a rich man from Saluysoy. Meycauayan, Bulacan.

Sometime in March 1997, respondent Mario introduced montaos to a certain @ Rudy Bigote a certain @ Boyet, and then two days thereafter, to a certain @ Efren of Marilao, Bulacan. It was planned by the group that they would kidnap Benny Floro on March 24, 1997.

As planned, the group, composed of Boy Sabater, Armando Pablo, Rudy Bigote, @ Efren and @ Boyet, proceeded to a tennis court at Dona Mercedes Subd., Meycauayan, Bulacan at about 9:00 in the morning of March 24, 1997. Respondents Montaos and Eduardo @ Rudy Soriano were left behind at Malhacan Church as look-outs. It so happened that the intended Benny Floro did not arrive at the tennis court. So the group went back to the front of Malhacan Church and asked respondent Eduardo Soriano as to who could be possible substitute-victim. Respondent Eduardo @ Rudy Soriano pointed to Boy Atienza, a jeweler from Maycauayan.

So Antonio Atienza @ Boy was kidnapped on March 24, 1997 at Dona Mercedes Subd., Brgy. Malhacan, Meycauayan, Bulacan and he was released on March 27, 1997 after a ransom of P2,000,000.00 was paid by the relatives of the victim. Ma. Victoria A. Cruz, sister of the victim, confirmed that there had been negotiations between the suspects and the relatives of the victim until the victim was finally released.

A certain Lourdes dela Rosa-Llenado gave a statement to the fact that she, together with Connie, the wife of victim Boy Atienza, were the passengers of the latter in the car he was driving on armed men rode on the car driven by Atienza and one of them took the wheel from Boy Atienza.

The Philippine Angel of Death, at Crown Peak and El Kabayo Equestrian, SBMA, Subic, Olongapo City, Zamabales, March 15, 2001, Judge Floro wore all-black clothes, Fridays, since 1992, to mourn the future prophesied horrible deaths, dire illnesses and accidents of all his enemies, detractors, persecutors including Supreme Court Justices

When Boy Atienza asked them what they wanted, the four of them alighted from the car taking along with them Boy Atienza. Lourdes dela Rosa-Llenado later pointed to Gerardo Roperez y Almozara @ Boy Sabater as one of those armed men who kidnapped Boy Atienza.

On May 20, 1997, respondent Gerardo Roperez was arrested by Bulacan PNP. Upon investigation/interrogation, with the assistance of Atty. Manuel M. Madela, he admitted his participation in the crime. He pointed to the other respondents as his cohorts.

Respondents Felipe Montaos y Orbe, Eduardo Soriano y Bulatao, Gerardo Roperez @ Boy Sabater, Armando Pablo @ Mando, Rodolfo Depas @ Rudy bigote, Pablo Afiora @ Boyet and one known only as Efren in this unrebutted case for robbery appears to have conspired and planned to kidnap a certain Benny Floro on the morning of March 24, 1997 but as the latter did not show-up in the tennis court situated somewhere at Dona Mercedes Village, Malhacan, meycauayan, bulacan where the latter used to play tennis, the group decided to pursue with the intended kidnapping and made complainant Antonio Z. Atienza, Jr. @ Boy as the substitute and indeed kidnapped the latter who on his way home from the tennis court together with his wife Consolacion and one Lourdes dela Rosa Llenado on board their vehicle, A Mitsubishi gallant Super Saloon, their path or way was blocked by a red vehicle while the other occupied the back seat where complainant’s wife Consolacion Atienza was directed to seat in between Llenado and the two (2) respondents.

On their way to unknown place of destination, Consolacion’s pair of stud earrings and a gold necklace worth P200,000.00 and P40,000.00, respectively were forcibly stripped or taken from the latter as well as the universal Geneve solid gold wristwatch worth P150,000.00 and a cash amount of P20.00 of complainant Antonio Atienza, Jr. where the latter was directed to transfer to the vehicle of respondents somewhere at Marilao, Bulacan where Consolacion was left behind with Llenado who thereafter accompanied her at their residence where they were met by some concerned people who came to know that her husband as abducted by respondents and demanding for the amount of P10,000,000.00 for the release of Antonio Z. Atienza, Jr.

It took three (3) days or specifically on March 27, 1997 when Antonio was released after yielding the ransom which was lowered to P2,200,000.00.

Indubitably, a separate offense for Robbery was committed by the four (4) respondents namely- Gerardo Roperez @ Sabater, Pablo Anora @ Boyet, Armando Pablo @ Mando and Rodolfo Depas @ Rudy Bigote apart from the kidnapping for ransom committed by the group which includes Felipe montaos y Orbe, Eduardo Soriano y Bulatao and one known only as Efren, however, the latter appears not to be aware of such forcible taking of the items or property in question hence, for uttered want of probable cause, the case against them should perforce be dismissed but the case against Roperez, Anora, Pablo and Depas should stand, the same having been consummated apparently in connivance with one another while in the process of committing their principal objective of kidnapping.

[Resolution of Fiscal’s Victoria Fernandez Bernardo and Alfredo L. Geronimo].

Former Solicitor General Francisco I. Chavez’s Chavez and Laureta Law Office was hired by Atienza as his private prosecutor while Atty. Oliver Lozano appeared for all the accused.

The Gifts of Prophecy and Spiritual Healing
April 13, Good Friday, 2001

Judge Floro published the following prophecy in more than 20 Supreme Court Motions to Lift Suspension from March 2001 or 2 months after Floro’s Good Friday, 1998 written-published prediction of “Erap will not finish his term” came to pass on January 20, 2001

On January 25 & July 18, 1999, I predicted my July 20, 1999 preventive suspension & the July 22, 2000 FIRE that razed Malabon Halls of Justice Buildings except my sala. On June 3, 1999, 6:00 a.m., or 46 days before my July 20, 1999 suspension, I was endowed the gift of spiritual healing, as upon both my palms were permanently imprinted the images and the indelible golden colors. On the 3rd week of June, 2000, I predicted the unprecedented 3rd term re-appointment of Hon. Teresita Cruz-Sison (beside J. Regino Hermosisima, Jr. at the JBC corridors)[even if ERAP already signed the papers of Atty. Edward Serapio], and the latter's incarceration for plunder. On October 10, 2000, I predicted (in answer to J. Romulo S. Quimbo, 2:00 p.m. hearing) that "xxx this year he will remain. But next year, it's questionable." ERAP as I predicted on April 2,1998, or 41 days before election, left the Palace at exactly 12:25 p.m., January 20,2001, when the S.C. Sheriff left the High Tribunal to serve me the cursed suspension Resolution exactly also, on the 20th day of July,1999. On January 9,1999 (feast of the Black Nazarene, 6:00 a.m.) I saw 3 visions: a). The Global Millennium Earthqua¬kes [India's 15,000 dead was the latest confirmation of this vision], from 1999 to 2012, b) the Worldwide-several apparitions of the Blessed Mother and c) Vice President Gloria Macapagl-Arroyo will be badly hurt:: the prefatory phases of this vision had already happened:: a) Atty. Mike Arroyo's Benguet-Ifugao plane crash, b) Almost successful coup d'etat on May 1, 2001, 3:00 a.m., c) 5 bullets at the restaurant for her son Vice Gov. Mike Arroyo. At the February 27, 2001 OCAD hearing, Mr. Jaime T. Licauco, took the witness stand.

Judge Floro had healed the elderly at Hospicio de San Jose, Manila, in 2001.

Judge Floro's coconut healing oil

For the first time in his life certified: a) the authenti¬city of my extreme hand heat method of spiritual healing and b) that worldwide, I am the sole healing Judge endowed with the gift of spiritual healing. On July 20, 1999, October 12, November 19 & Dec. 5,2000, I predicted the Coronary Artery Disease of Justice Alfredo L. Benipayo (whom I predicted will not be appointed S.C. Justice), as he was under angiogram and was operated via angioplasty on February 21, 2001.
December 8, 1998 [Feast of the Immaculate Concepcion]

The JBC, Supreme Court received my November 5, 1997 Application-letter, as it published my name (among the semi-finals, 11 candidates from the list of more than 80 applicants for the vacant position of RTC Judge, Br. 73, Malabon, Metro Manila [NCJR]) in the papers. At 12:00 noon, Good Friday [San Juanico Bridge|Leyte-Sarar], I predicted that Jose de Venecia's name will never be published in the papers but ERAP (contrary to surveys) will the the 13th UNLUCKY President who will not finish his term but will sign my papers and hold my hand; (On June 30, 1998, 12:00 noon, I reiterated the prophecy and 2 hours later the Malacanang Palace’s chandeliers fell ...) On July 9, 1998, the JBC excluded me from the final list of nominees and denied my appeal but the Council En Banc GRANTED my motion for reconsideration (I claimed to be gifted with PSYCHIC POWERS). ERAP signed my appointment papers on November 4, 1998, hours before my 45th natal day, November 5,1998, when Exec. Sec. Zamora signed the transmittal letter; I took my OATH on November, Friday the 13th before Justice Bernardo P. Pardo, after Malacahang notified me of my appointment on November 12,1998 (I topped the 1983 Bar Exams - 12th place and was the 13th examinee); One need not agree that I am the No. 1 gifted-PSYSCHIC in the Philippines. This living proof-memory nonetheless, is affectionately dedicated to my brother, Robert V. Floro, and our unseen little friends Luis, Armand and Angel, without whose guiding lights (midnight, immense, glimmering, flashing), the foregoing prophecy might not have transpired; and this photo is exhibited for believers and infidels alike who, for varying reasons, perhaps, may wish to gain some insight of what true friendship means.

Amparo S. Lardizabal, Teacher of teachers

Healing Hand: Clearing House of Ideas - Amparo S. Lardizabal is a Scholar and Teacher of teachers

Amparo S. Lardizabal is a Scholar and Teacher of teachers. Dean of the University of the East College of Education.
Amparo Santamaria Lasdizabal was born to a couple of Manileños, Mariano Santamaria and Emilia Somoza. Dean Lardizabal is married to Professor Pedro Lardizabal of Boac, Marinduque. Mr. Lardizabal, a former supervisor in the Bureau of Private Schools, is at present teaching in a local university. The Santamarias, with their two boys and two girls, lived on Elcano Street, in Binondo, so that when amparing became of school age, she was enrolled in the San Nicolas Elementary School, the school nearest the Santamaria home. The North (Arellano) High School was Amparo's next school, but she stayed here only two years, for by that time she had decided to continue her studies in the Philippine Normal School. In 1927 she graduated from this school as veledictorian and it was then that her dream of becoming a teacher came true.

* In 1947, she taught English and business psychology courses, after the establishment of the Philippine College of Commerce and Business Administration. She was also the school's dean of women. Later, before PCCBA attained university status and became the University of the East, Mrs. Lardizabal organized the college of education.

* In 1947-1948, she attended Washington University on a Jessi Barr Fellowship. She was awarded a study grant by the American Association of University Women. She also taught in the graduate schools of the University of the Philippines and the Philippine Normal College during the summer terms. In 1957, 1958, and 1959 with the Philippine Normal College.

Amparo S. Lardizabal writes in Modern Teacher

“To see is to believe. To experience is proof of that belief.

While watching Noli de Castro's "Magandang Gabi Bayan" program on August 21, 1999, a picture flashed on the screen of picture of a man healing a woman of her arthritis. He was doing so through heat emanating from his right hand which was yellow in color. The healer was identified as Judge Florentino Floro, Jr.

I became very interested as if, I’ve been suffering pain in my knees and low back due to arthritis. I had tried several medicines and herbs, applied varied creams, and oil, but got no relief. I determined to see Judge Floro. Through the help of a friend, I was able to get his address: 135 Dahlia Street, Phase 1 Alido, Malolos, 3000 Bulacan.

My friend also found out that Judge Floro was assigned to RTC 73 in Malabon, but was on a preventive suspension. I wrote to Judge Floro and asked for directions of now to get to his place. He answered me and sent the following information on printed paper. Healing daily 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Tel. No. (044) 662-8203.

My friend volunteered to accompany me to Malolos. A colleague decided to come alcng, as she was having pain in one knee. Because of the color code, September 21 was the date set to go to Malolos. We agreed to start at 8:00 a.m., so as to be the first. My friend ringed up Josie on. September 20 to make an appointment. We left AU at 3:00 am. I told the driver to fill the car with 10 liters of gasoline and gave him two hundred pesos (2OO.OO), Instead, he used up the two hundred pesos for gasoline.

Judge Floro is the sole healing judge worldwide

It turned out to be a good decision as the trip used up almost all the gasoline. When we got to Malolos, it was almost 10:00 a.m. but there were already many patients, one came from as far as La Union as she also saw Judge Floro on TV. Although his printed announcement gave 10.00 a.m. as the beginning of the healing session,Judge Floro began treatment at 9:30 a.m. This shortened our waiting time as the previous day's call to make an appointment was discarded. First come, first served was the procedure followed.

Several patients later, we were called to enter an anteroom. Another wait. My companion was called first. I followed while she was still being treated. I expected to see an elderly man. Instead, a boyish looking person, slender and of medium height met my eyes. Too young to be a judge was my impression.

The sole healing Judge in the planet, Judge Floro is the same Angel of Death, the Annihilator

With oil, he began massaging my knees and low back. His hands, changed color and I felt heat coming from them. He said that the color of his hands varies - sometimes red, sometimes yellow or orange. One of his assistants timed the duration of the heat that he applied on the affected body part.

After the healing session, we asked if we could buy some of the oil that he was using. Instead, he gave us some that I now apply on my knees and body before going to bed after a bath and so far I have felt relief. Whether the cure will be complete or not, time will tell.

You must have wondered how he got his special gift when he got it, and what his roots are, that he did not aspire to be a lawyer, a judge or a healer, but destiny decide otherwise. Judge Floro is the eldest of five children. His siblings are Joselito, Benjamin, Jessie and Robert has unseen little friends—Luis, Armand, Angel and 4 other silent ones. The family lived for 15 years in Calvario Meycuayan Bulacan. The parents of the judge died in 1983 and 1995. Judge Floro’s mother first saw the mysterious light on December 5, 1925 and last on December 5,1995.

The judge himself first saw the light at 1:00 a.m. on November 5, 1953. From this day until June 3, 1983, he and his brother Robert saw the light. It was June 3, 1983 that Robert heard sounds whispered to him. Judge Floro prayed fervently to see the light again and he did see it for a split second on March 1, 1986.

Thereafter he hoped and dreamed to see the lights. On March 1,1996 at the age of 42 he saw the lights again thirteen years after the first whisper. From March 1, 1996 until November 13, 1999 in more than 329 midnights, he saw the glimmering, flashing, colorless, colorful and mysterious lights.

The Philippine Angel of Death, at San Juanico Bridge, Leyte-Samar, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan office of Mayor Edward Hagedorn, and Baguio City, Good Fridays, Judge Floro wore all-black clothes, Fridays, since 1992, to mourn the future prophesied horrible deaths, dire illnesses and accidents of all his enemies, detractors, persecutors including Supreme Court Justices

In the last quarter of 1998, Judge Floro saw a vision of himself laying hands upon another. Then at 12 noon of September 3, 1998, Makati Medical Center psychiatrist Dr. George So (of Dra. Pacita Salceda-Ramos office) saw the phenomenal changing of the colors of Judge Floro’s hand. This incident was followed by manifestations of the healing power of his hand. The following are recounted by Judge Floro himself.

1.Good Friday (April 2, 1999 at 9:07 p.m.) at Las Vegas Restaurant, Banaue, Poblacion Ifugao, my right hand became extremely waem as I was writing the 29 page memorandum “Luces Video”.

2. April 30, 1999 (at RTC 73 at my chamber in Malabon) I continued this practice until May 18, 1999 when my right hand stopped releasing heat.
3. First Thursday, June 3, 1999 at 6:05-6:07 a.m. while in trance, I spoke the 2 essential words Amen Jesus more than 5 times simultaneously and saw the vision of oil being poured.

4. First Friday June 4, 1999 (sixteen years from June 3, 1983 when Robert first heard the words), I first laid my hands with the oil and whispered the words on another at Bustos Dam, Angat Bulacan at 8:00 p.m. This phase of healing has a message of reconciliation.

Judge Floro feels that the friends of his brother Robert show what real friendship is and that time will decide if he is truly destined to exercise his healing gift.

If the suspension of Judge Floro is lifted will he go back to the judiciary and preside at RTC 73 in Malolos? A man cannot serve two masters. He cannot be both judge and a healer. As a judge he has to obey the rules of court procedure which were made by men like him. He has to dispense justice in the community—punish people or let them go free. As a healer, he will be able to help people and alleviate suffering. He will be obeying the Almighty Who gave him this special gift.

There are many lawyers and judges in the Philippines. Healers are so few and rare. To Judge Floro, this gift of heat emanation from his hands is bestowed. Is God entrusting him with a mission?

Mr. Jaime T. Licauco’s October 20, 1999 letter-invitation to Judge Floro is reproduced, thusly:

Judge Florentino Floro
#135 Dahlia, Alido Malolos, Bulacan

Dear Judge Floro,
Thank you for coming over to Makati last Friday to demonstrate your healing technique to a small group of patients that I had invited for the occasion. A number of them had experienced complete relief from pain on the head, back and wrists, others reported some improvement and one reported no change at all in her pain at the back and shoulders, but almost all experienced the penetrating heat coming from your palms during healing. One did not experience any heat at all. It is too early to tell whether the pain relief is permanent or only temporary. In the case of internal disease like diabetes, etc., we cannot, of course, tell whether there has been any improvement pending laboratory analysis.

Licauco featured Judge Floro in his 1999 Book, "A Practical Guide to Philippine Healers"

Judge Floro was featured in Mr. Jaime T. Licauco's 1999 Book, "A Practical Guide to Philippine Healers". Floro, in the picture has successfully healed 14 of 15 patients in Mr. Licauco's Prince Plaza II Makati City office on October 20, 1999.

The healing technique you demonstrated is not at all unique. It is universal and is practiced all over the world. In the United States, there are two techniques similar to it, namely. "Touch for-Health" developed by John Thie, and "Therapeutic Touch" developed by Dolores Krieger. A form of heat is also experienced by patients during such healing sessions. It would help your cause more if you will only let results speak for themselves, rather than be talking about them. It turns people off if a healer speaks of how good he is. We must realize that there are thousands of healing techniques, each of which has its own merits and demerits, its advantages and disadvantages. There is no such thing as a universally perfect healing technique. What I believes you are doing is merely letting your natural bio-energy work on diseased organs or parts. Every living being has bio-energy. Human beings have a more pronounced and more powerful bio-energy compared to lower creatures. And some have more of it than others. It is not something unique or possessed only by a few.

It would help your healing effectiveness by maintaining silence and concentration during the healing process rather than dissipating the energy by talking or paying attention to other things while healing. It still works because there is excess bio-energy emitted by your hands, but the effectiveness will be enhanced by concentration and meditation. This is a proven and scientific fact. Something happens to our bio-electrical mechanism during intense concentration. If everybody in the room helps in the process by silence and positive thoughts, the results are greater. I have seen this time and time again with other healers. I also suggest you read more literature concerning spiritual healing and pranic healing to deepen your knowledge about this, important subject. As Alexander Pope said: "A little learning is a dangerous thing/Drink deep or taste not the Pyrrean Spring."

With my very best personal regards.

Physical Death: LUIS, Armand and Angel, Floro's Spirit Guides

Judge Floro had faced physical death 4 times: a) on or about 1961 when he was Grade I, Elementary Education at St. Mary’s Academy, Meycauayan, Bulacan; he was walking by the Meycauayan, Bridge when suddenly Mang Along’s Caretela would have hit-and-run Floro, but the latter held unto its big wheels and the horse was forced to stop standstill; Floro had, at that moment acquired unexplained strength, but thought that the Cartela and the riders could have met the accident; Floro therefore ran towards his Calvario home due to fear to Mang Along’s reprisal. However, Mang Along thought that Floro was hurt and asked forgiveness from Floro’s mother Milagros. Floro was unhurt.

In 1984, Floro was walking towards Barasoain Sweets at Malolos, Bulacan, when a Funeral Car’s wheel hit-and-run Floro’s foot which miraculously never felt pain nor suffered any injury; b) 2000 - at San Francisco, Pulilan, Bulacan, near a chapel - an addict did strike at Judge Floro’s neck-back with steel called “asero”, and further, the teenager did use a knife and pierced the side of Floro; LUIS’ lights flooded Floro’s body and he was never physically hurt; however, Floro felt pain and discovered a scratch upon his left chest below the heart; a 90 years old healer, mother of a nun at Hospicio de San Jose, Manila, healed Judge Floro with her invisible bird; c) March 9, 2001, at Tiaong, Baliuag, Bulacan - a man, with 3 co-conspirators had badly beaten Floro at the back, and Floro would have died where in not for the timely intervention of LUIS. The assailant did not even take Floro’s $ 500 Nokia 8855, and Floro never suffered any pain nor hematoma. When Floro shouted the names of LUIS, Armanda and Angel, there was stoppage, and Floro did walk safely; so Floro visited and thanked Our Lady of Manaoag, Pangasinan; d) November, 2005 - in front of Provincial Capitol, Malolos, Bulacan, while waiting for a jeepney, Floro’s upper lip was badly beaten with steel asero, and the guard of Judge Benjamin M. Aquino, Jr. did see Floro with so much blood and was operated (minor surgery) at the provincial hospital. After just 2 weeks month you Floro’s swollen lip never had a scar, due to a physical miracle of LUIS and his coconut healing oil.

Magic Touch

It was on November 5, 2004, Floro’s birthday, that LUIS gave him a special gift (at the http://www.ortigas.com/map/shops/the-podium.html, 18 ADB Avenue, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City, 1550, Metro Manila, PH). LUIS infused upon my Floro’s golden right palm-hand – the GIFT of destruction-annihilation – the moment it would touch the hand or body of a retired and incumbent Supreme Court Justice, inter alia, who made money, is or was corrupt in any manner or hath done injustice, LUIS would easily stain their bloods up to the 4th generation.

4 Spiritual Nails in each of the 15 S Court Chambers

First Disagreement: On December 2000, Justice Bernardo P. Pardo, 44 Polk St. neighbor of President Erap, issued a resolution which ordered Judge Floro to submit for evaluation by the courts’ own UST psychiatrist and psychologist under Justice Alfredo L. Benipayo (under the pain of contempt, incarceration at the NBI jail); Floro received the resolution which was delivered to his rented house by Peter, the S.C. process server on December 10, 2000. LUIS ordered Floro to clean the Supreme Court by putting 4 VIOLET nails in all corners of each of the 15 Chambers of Supreme Court Justices every first Fridays at 3pm.

Judge Floro first refused, and the vote was a tie. Armand voted in Floro’s favor while Angel was neutral. So Floro imposed a condition: it was an insult to LUIS - “MAKE ME A PROPHET”, let my good Friday prophecy at San Juanico Bridge, 1998 on the downfall of President Joseph Estrada happen on the 20th since I was suspended on 20th also.” Another condition was - ERAP must also suffer the same length of preventive suspension or incarceration.

LUIS’ impeccable-mathematical prophecy-accuracy:
Joseph E. Estrada was ousted on –
January 20, 2001, released, October 26, 2007 =
6 years, 9 months, & 6 days
Florentino V. Floro was suspended on -

July 20, 1999, separated on April 6-7, 2006 =
6 years, -9 months (-14 days).

Ergo, starting First Friday, August, 1999 until before the 2006 decision, Floro filed every First Fridays, MOTIONS TO LIFT SUSPENSIONS at 3 p.m. Aside from this, Floro traveled to the most powerful places in the Philippines on First Fridays from Aparri to Cagayan De Oro City, to obey LUIS’ mandate to help his violet lights burn the corrupt courts and to inflict illnesses, dire pains, and deaths upon the Justices, Judges, their loved ones, inter alia, and top corrupt government officers. The 4 (60) nails are now well embedded and safely installed in all the 15 chambers of the Supreme Court Justices, awaiting their fate.

Purificacion Valera Quisumbing, wife of Justice Leonardo, was the Chair of the Commission on Human Rights, and 1st Filipina Chair of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (1990). They have two children: Josefa Lourdes (Jay) (artist, writer), Married to Grant M. Dawson (lawyer) and Commissioner on Human Rights Cecilia Rachel V. Quisumbing (Coco) Born on November 22, 1966 in Pasay City, 153F Sct. Fuentebella, Q. C.

LUIS, Armand and Angel meet Acting Chief Justice Leonardo A. Quisumbing, the Curse

4 Personal Meetings between Judge Florentino V. Floro and S.C. Senior Associate Justice Leonardo A. Quisumbing, at his Chambers

1. January 24, 2006, before the April 6 decision, – 3 pm to 5:10 pm. Judge Floro told the magistrate all these, and all that would happen after the release of the decision. Floro identified the 8 justices that suffered medical surgeries and warned the dire consequences that would happen after the decision’s release.

2. After the August 11, 2006 appeal denial - Justice Quisumbing gave Floro coffee and listened to the account of dire prophecies. Justice Quisumbing gave Floro xerox copy of the Ripley’s Hello Judge … and the 3 dwarves which he retrieved from the PIO’s daily newspaper cut-outs, specifically from Philippine Star. He gave Floor his very own handwritten desk note which in a jest, made it appear that Floro would obtain a consultancy job from me to seek from Engr. Homer Ortega. Justice Quisumbing talked by cell phone to Engr. Homer Ortega. The latter and Floro met at MMDA Chair Bayani Fernando’s office. Engr. Ortega told poor jobless Judge Floro that the consultancy job was already taken by Atty. Regis Puno; lawyer of ABS-CBN (Senior Partner Puno and Puno Law Officed - http://www.punolaw.com/index.php?id=10 and Director, Philippine Savings Bank).

3. November 3, 2006 – Judge Floro spared Justice Quisumbing
from the spiritual curse for a time which ended on the last meeting, and Floro put his coconut healing oil in Quisumbing’s desk as LUIS permitted effecting the curse later on upon Quisumbing up to the 4th generation.

Justice Leonardo Quisumbing's handwritten note to jobless Judge Floro; Quisumbing tested False Prophet Floro by asking him to go to Engr. Homer Ortega at MMDA Office of Chair Bayani Fernando. Ortega made it appear that Judge Floro was late in applying for the consultancy job taken by Atty. Regis Puno. Poor jobless Judge Floro according to Justice Quisumbing must have had a job, otherwise poor Floro would roam the streets. Floro did roam around the streets looking for beggars to sell his P 15,000 per food pack adobo transferring the heavenly money as 15,000 dire illnesses to Floro's enemies and cursed detractors, including all those who denied poor Floro.

4. December, 2006 – days before the appointment of Chief Justice Puno - Justice Quisumbing showed Floro copy of the newspaper reports on Senator Miriam Santiago’s possible appointment as Chief Justice. And in front of a Masbaste ex-Mayor, Judge Floro predicted that Santiago would never be Chief Justice since Floro predicted the death of her own son A.R. Santiago; and

5. Thursday after the January 16 Supreme Court fire – Justice Quisumbing pasted Floro’s one-page Mystic Fire appeal for reinstatement at the wall outside his chambers. His last words to Floro was: “Huwag kang magagalit sa akin.” And Floro did not say a word. Thereafter, Justice Quisumbing’s secretary Sori gave her cell phone number to Floro’s secretary Belen Gomez. She scheduled all these 5 audiences. After the 5th and last audience with Justice Quisumbing, Floro disagreed with LUIS’ again. Armand told Floro to file the appeal to their holy dwarf En Banc Tribunal. Floro asked one last thing: Floro asked LUIS’ permission to approach and file his pleas to the Commission on Human Rights’ Chair, Purificacion Valera Quisumbing, wife of Justice Leonardo. And so the Resolution was released on August, First Friday: LUIS said – We will allow you to meet personally the Chair of this Human Rights office at the very corridors of power.

SC Acting Chief Justice Leonardo A. Quisumbing - Loren B. Legarda takes her oath as a member of the Senate Electoral Tribunal. Associate Justice Leonardo Quisumbing officiates the oath while (left to right) Senator Manuel Lapid, SET Secretary Atty. Irene Guevarra and Associate Justice Antonio Carpio officially witness the oathtaking.

What does that mean? On first Friday, October 5, 2007, Floro found himself in front of Chair Purificacion Quisumbing with 2 beautiful ladies in black, the 2 daughters of Justice Quisumbing, and the VIOLET lights of LUIS did flash and Floro was scared. Scared, but Floro had no fear … scared, since he saw the vision of painful deaths inflicted by LUIS … up to the 4th generation… So, as a meek lamb, Floro bowed down to the King of kings of elementals, part of the 9 choirs of Angels.

On June 28, 2002, before Floro cursed Ateneo law School, particularly its class 1982, inter alia, Atty. Emily Reyes+, (Floro’s classmate, one of the most corrupt ex-Register of Deeds, ex-LRA officer, and ex-Ombudsman officer), asked Floro, at their Pioneer building reunion to heal Gelay, the daugher of Melvin and Esmeralda Galang-Dizon, who fabricated the charges against Judge Floro. NO NO NO, Floro replied, since they are possessed and had covenants with the devil. Floro had had no power to lift the curse upon them.

Atty. Emily Reyes suffered the wrath of LUIS, and she died in pain due to mysterious cancer, before the week Gregorio Gaite+ died in pain, the father of Floro’s classmate Deputy Executive Sec. for Legal Affairs, Manuel Gaite (who made a set-up fun to trick Floro at the wake of Emily Reyes; he pretended that Floro would meet classmate Jay Flaminiano; classmates Betty Medialdea, with Francis Lim & ET Montecastro joined the fun; yes, quite funny, but for LUIS, it was TIME: he did inflict illnesses which caused the death of Gregorio Gaite, and later the painful death of cursed Ateneo Law School Class 1982 Christopher L. Lim on August 2009.

The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee on November 10, 2009 sought the impeachment of President Macapagal-Arroyo and prosecution of 10 others, including First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo and Deputy Executive Secretary Manuel Gaite in connection with the botched $329 million national broadband network deal with ZTE Corp. of China. These are not punishments but biblical curse versus evil to ward off the black inside them. It is part of the galactic wars of LUIS.

THE LIVING CURSE OF THE HOLY ANGELS

As Floro predicted repeatedly in writing, the judiciary will witness the nationwide death that will happen.

July 20, 1999 to July 20, 2007: ‘View from the mountaintop’ - Extrajudicial killings
At the opening of the summit on extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances on July 16, 2007, Chief Justice Reynaldo Puno gave the reasons why he called for the two-day gathering. “One of them is to prevent losing eye contact with these killings and disappearances, revive our righteous indignation, and spur our united search for the elusive solution to this festering problem,” he said. (See article below.)

The Philippine Angel of Death, at mystic Mambukal Springs, Negros, Camiguin island, San Juanico Bridge, Leyt-Samar and Lucban, Quezon, Good Fridays, Judge Floro wore all-black clothes, Fridays, since 1992, to mourn the future prophesied horrible deaths, dire illnesses and accidents of all his enemies, detractors, persecutors including Supreme Court Justices

The Commission on Human Rights placed the number of victims at 403 from 2001 to May 31, 2007, while the human rights alliance Karapatan reported 863 deaths.

Eucharistic Enthronement – Conversion Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Judge Floro asked the Supreme Court on First Friday of January 2008, per pleading, that the burnt 5 mystic fire Court - SUPREME COURT SESSION HALL, COURT OF APPEALS’ 4th FLOOR, COMELEC, Br. 73, RTC, Malabon sala, and the Muntinlupa MeTC sala, must all be renovated-converted for the enthronement thereat of the HOLY EUCHARIST – by building entirely thereat the Adoracion Chapel, which is the only hope against evil in the judiciary.

The entire judiciary and Government must be consecrated by the Cardinal to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate of Heart of Mary preferably on April 12 and 25 (painful deaths of Chief Justice Reynato Puno’s wife and mother, Luzviminda & Narcisa, respectively).

These special days were chosen by Floro-LUIS for salvation of the justices’ / judge’s and court personnel’s souls from perdition and April should be declared the Filipino Justice month.

The images of Our Lady of Fatima-Our Lady of Lourdes must be crowned and permanently be venerated in all these 5 mystic fire places since she is the Mediatrix of all graces and the Co-Redemptrix who solely crushed the head of the serpent (per Revelation).

The serpent’s name 666 is fully inscribed and subscribed in all the foreheads of past, present and future Supreme Court Justices, and powerful government officers. This is the only way to solve the extra-judicial killings and desaparecidos and to heal the wounds of corruption in the country.

There is no such thing as moral revolution since it never happened since ancient times (due to the corrupt human nature of jurists, pastors and preachers of the Gospel, who are all greedy and veritable hypocrites.

Psalms 109 and 73 must be recited daily to replace the Chief Justice Hilario G. Davide, Jr. demonic or diabolical circular prayer before court sessions, so that all those who steal and abuse judicial power would readily be blood stained.

Arinday: Self-cherishing, psychosis & other oddities
By Judge Graciano .H. Arinday, Jr.
Sunfare Monday, September 24, 2007

IN LIFE, we encounter a lot of oddities and beg for the sublime task to render the same into linguistic idioms. If we say that he is an “odd man out,” the interpretation is as varied as the hues of the rainbow jealously misted by the dark nimbus cloud.

Can you recall of a former regional trial court judge in Bulacan who was eased out of his office because he was said to be suffering from psychosis according to Supreme Court magistrates?

Well, former RTC judge Florentino V. Floro Jr., who confessed cavorting with his three elfin friends (Luis, the “neutral force; Armand, a “benign influence”; and Angel, as the “king of kings” and as an “avenger” in the penning of his decisions), has become a sort of an international media celebrity.

No less than “The Wall Street Journal,” in its September 17, 2007 issue and bylined by James Hookway, featured the dismissed judge who claimed in an interview that:

The Philippine Angel of Death, at Leyte Park and Sagada, Mountain Province, Good Fridays, Judge Floro wore all-black clothes, Fridays, since 1992, to mourn the future prophesied horrible deaths, dire illnesses and accidents of all his enemies, detractors, persecutors including Supreme Court Justices

“It shouldn’t matter what I believed in, whether it’s Jesus, Muhammad, or Luis, Armand, and Angel.” What the former judge said is equivalent to “self-cherishing” as the fundamental concept of the Buddhist’s philosophy on “how to enhance cherishing love.”

In writing the verdict dismissing the judge, considering him as suffering from psychosis largely because of his belief in the supernatural, Associate Justice Minita Chico-Nazario said he has “his broad faith in mysticism and supernatural phenomena.”

“Lest we be misconstrued, we do not denigrate such a belief system...However, such beliefs, especially since Judge Floro acted on them, are at odds with the critical and impartial thinking required of a judge under our judicial system.”

It is not the first time that former Judge Floro attracted those engaged in human interest stories. He has been featured in English newspapers, international or regional, before “The Wall Street Journal” gave him some kind of prominence.

The world of mystics has intrigued me a lot like the paranormal analysis of psychic Jaime Lichauco and the so-called “supernatural” and extra-sensory perceptions.

Accordingly, “there is no accepted explanation of mysticism and few psychologists have interested themselves in its practice,” says The Columbia Encyclopedia. Philosophers William James gave up after failing finding the answer.

On the other hand, Henri Bergson made a significant philosophical evaluation. Bergson, whose psychological or philosophical lectures were attended by “fashionable ladies” of his time surpassing that of Thomas Carlyle’s thought of mysticism as “subjective meditation” or a “vitalist philosophy” akin to romanticism. The notion of Bergson’s philosophy is the strands of continuity in probing deeper into the mysteries of life like the growth of the folk-soul or beliefs on something outside of empiricism.

But former Judge Floro’s venture into the supernatural is overshadowed by the lawsuit filed by self-proclaimed agnostics of Nebraska, Senator Ernie Chambers of Omaha, seeking a permanent injunction against God as reported by foreign news agencies. And lo, behold, the injunction suit was answered by “God” who was charged with “human oppression and suffering misses an important matter.”

As it was written, the answer was “signed by God,” citing St. Michael the Archangel as a witness,” and “God” was quoted that “I created man and woman with free will and next to the promise of immortal life, free will is my greatest gift to you.”

Ho-hum! Such strange things are component of life’s existence. How would we treat the Nebraskan state senator? Consign him to limbo? But the place is exclusively for those “under probation” or inmates in the purgatory.
Definitely, we cannot classify him on the same level with former Judge Floro, the latter being a firm believer in mystical matters, but Chambers is a class by himself.

R.P. trails neighbors in Transparency International’s corruption index

Top News Written by Cai U. Ordinario / Reporter
Business Mirror, Wednesday, 18 November 2009

WHEN it comes to corruption, the Philippines is only better than three of its neighbors in Southeast Asia—Timor–Leste, Cambodia and Burma—after having scored 2.4 and ranking 139th place to the bottom in the 2009 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) recently released by Transparency International. Timor Leste scored 2.2, Cambodia 2.0 and Burma 1.4. The Philippines shares its score of 2.4 with Pakistan and Bangladesh. The 2009 CPI includes 180 countries, the same number as the 2008 CPI. While the country’s ranking improved from 141st with a score of 2.3 in the 2008 CPI, the country continued to lag behind most of its fellow members in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean). The Philippines lagged behind Singapore, which ranked third in the CPI with a score of 9.2; Brunei, 39th with 5.5; Malaysia, 56th with 4.5; Thailand, 84th with 3.4; Indonesia, 111th with 2.8; and Vietnam, 120th with 2.7. The Philippines improved its score in the 2009 Asian Corruption Survey conducted by the Hong Kong-based Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC), a third party performance auditor on key trends and critical issues facing the region. The score of the Philippines in the 2009 survey was 7.0, an improvement from the previous survey score of 9.0. The PERC scale is from 0 to 10, with 0 as the worst. In PERC's 2009 survey, the Philippines had a score of 7.0. It was followed by Malaysia with 6.70, Taiwan with 6.47, China with 6.16, Macau with 5.84, South Korea with 4.64 and Japan with 3.99. Indonesia and Thailand are perceived as Asia's most corrupt economies according to the PERC Survey.

Chief Justices Artemio Panganiban's judicial philosophy - liberty and prosperity = hypocrisy

I have attempted, as best as I could, to (1) demonstrate that just as there is an emerging catharsis over the role of private wealth in alleviating poverty, disease and hunger in the world, there is also an ongoing renewal of the role that courts play in instilling both economic and political justice; and (2) present the twin beacons of my judicial philosophy of Liberty and Prosperity in the context of our history, as well as of existing and emerging realities.

Judge Floro's mystic thoroughbred races to annihilate his enemies and persecutors so that their loved ones would suffer lingering illnesses and horrible deaths due to the mystic curse of the Philippine Angel of Death

By no means is my philosophy of Liberty and Prosperity meant to be an absolute prescription that other jurisdictions must also espouse. They each have their own history, experience, economics, culture and politics, which should dictate whether this philosophy would be viable in their respective jurisdictions. Nonetheless, I present liberty and prosperity as a possible framework within which judiciaries may define their missions and visions for the future.

LUIS and Judge Floro's mystic red balls are released using violet and red lights to mercilessly strike at the main vessels of the Honorable Supreme Court Judicial Thieves and Filipino crabs, igniting cyber fires aimed at all his enemies, persecutors and cursed detractors, so that their loved ones would die horrible deaths due to the Biblical curse

Judge Floro used his Baraja to predict the fate or fortune of chosen ones, like Mr. Antonio Z. Atienza, Jr., Marilyn Puno Santiago, sister of Chief Justice Reynato Puno and his classmate Tonette Brion, wife of SC Justice Arturo D. Brion

Verified Motion / Letter-Affidavit of Merit

[To Reconsider the Denial / Dismissal Resolution

(dated 16 October, 2007) for Non-payment of Docket / Legal Fees]

- with -

Urgent Prayer –

For LEAVE OF COURT, To Allow Payment of Docket / Legal Fees (Duly Reserved), To Intervene in this Case, For Consolidation with A.C. No. 7663 (En Banc, Disbarment Case, “Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. vs. Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago”) and For Immediate Docketing / Resolution

Your Honors,

Undersigned complainant / intervenor Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr., most respectfully moves to reconsider the dismissal / denial Resolution dated 16 October, 2007 (for non-payment of docket / legal fees), WHICH HE PERSONALLY RECEIVED ON NOVEMBER 8, 2007, and further, he petitions to be allowed to pay the required docket and legal fees (duly reserved), to intervene in this case, to present evidence, to be heard, to consolidate the related disbarment case A.C. No. 7663, and under oath, he most respectfully depose and say, that:

GROUNDS:

1. Complainant was duly informed per television, internet breaking news and video reports, thusly:

S.C. PIO, Atty. Midas Marquez (September 26, 2007), stated:

“There are no hard and fast rules in the Supreme Court on how to handle such allegations, according to Marquez. There's no SOP really because cases like this aren't really very common, Marquez said. The court welcomes complaints, even anonymous complaints. We try to conduct investigations whenever we receive complaints, but we would really appreciate if these complaints would state in particular detail some of the allegations so that we could begin the investigation at some point. He lamented that such allegations could be bandied about in the media and tarnish the high court's reputation. "And then it would be picked up by the media. It's bringing the entire Supreme Court down.” (By Leila Salaverria, Tetch Torres, Inquirer, INQUIRER.net, 10:41 pm, 09/24/2007).

2. Complainant forthwith (about the last week of September and first week of October, 2007) called the Offices of the PIO, Clerk of Court, and OCAD, inter alia, to inquire regarding a) where to file or what offices would receive his contempt pleading, and b) how much legal / docket fees he should pay. Since he never got any correct information on the matter, he again called Atty. Winston Banel, but complainant again failed to get the answers to his questions on said procedure and fees. Complainant therefore called Atty. Midas Marquez, but complainant miserably failed to contact this officer.

3. While complainant was preparing his initiatory pleading in an internet café, he accidentally met a classmate of Atty. Midas Marquez. The following critical facts were duly NOTED by undersigned lest they be lost in his memory (storage), to wit:

The Ateneo alumni and Midas (from Pampanga, as she said) were classmates at Loyola Heights and they resided at the Eliazo and Cervini Halls; she studied Interdisciplinary Studies; ….

4. On October 5, 2007, complainant personally approached Atty. Winston Banel of the OCC, since he was the only one thereat who could answer the filing questions; then, complainant asked him where he should file and pay … but Banel said … he had no idea … ergo, complainant also went to the OCAD and an officer told him to go to the Documentation Division; complainant asked Mang Odi, the veteran employee thereat who handles all administrative cases or dockets; he stated that he had no idea about these matters, but he would accept the pleading, and Mang Bito would report the same to the Court; finally, complainant went to the ground floor filing office of all criminal and civil old and new cases; complainant personally went inside the room instead of just filing the 20 copies outside; but Sally and the other personnel thereat stated that they never and do not accept A.M.s since they only accept G.R.s, meaning, therefore, that complainant’s case is Administrative Matter and there is no docket fee required for that even if it is indirect contempt.

5. Complainant again went to Atty. Winston Bannel, OCC, and told him that the former wanted to talk to Atty. Felipa Anama or Atty. Ma. Luisa Villarama, but both were not available at that time. Along the corridors complainant accidentally met Atty. Midas Marquez who was talking to a woman. So, complainant approached Midas, and showed him more than 20 copies of the pleading plus the ORIGINAL. Complainant asked Midas, regarding where would file the pleading versus Senator Santiago and where to pay. Midas was in a great hurry and told complainant to file it anywhere, since he said, it is up to the Court to decide. Complainant then showed Atty. Marquez page 1 thereof, which the former read to the latter:

S.C. PIO, Atty. Midas Marquez (September 26, 2007), stated:

“There are no hard and fast rules in the Supreme Court on how to handle such allegations, according to Marquez. There's no SOP really because cases like this aren't really very common, Marquez said. The court welcomes complaints, even anonymous complaints. We try to conduct investigations whenever we receive complaints, but we would really appreciate if these complaints would state in particular detail some of the allegations so that we could begin the investigation at some point. He lamented that such allegations could be bandied about in the media and tarnish the high court's reputation. "And then it would be picked up by the media. It's bringing the entire Supreme Court down.” (By Leila Salaverria, Tetch Torres, Inquirer, INQUIRER.net, 10:41 pm, 09/24/2007).

6. Complainant therefore asked Midas for help in filing the same, since the 3 offices of the OCC, OCAD and ground floor filing did not know about the procedure and the fees, since the instant case is an ADMINTRATIVE MATTER and there was no precedent in their 3 offices. But Midas insisted that it may be filed anywhere. Complainant told him that the OCC and the ground floor filing would not accept it, but the OCAD would, but would not accept any payment for fees. So, the last word of Atty. Midas was “go ahead file it and let the Court decide”. So, complainant had no option but to file it with the OCAD Documentation Division and Mang Odi and Mang Bito promised to report the same to the Court.

7. When the October 16, 2006 first Resolution was released, Atty. Winston Banel informed complainant that the particular resolution was still to be signed and the latter had to wait. So, on November 5, 2007, complainant personally went to the OCC, to get a copy thereof but Atty. Banel said that it was not yet released. So, complainant again called Atty. Banel on November 6 and the latter read through the phone the denial due to non-payment of docket fees. So, complainant again asked Banel regarding where to pay and how much docket and legal fees should be paid, considering that the only office which receives payment (ground floor receiving) refused to assess fees much less to receive the pleading and repeatedly informed complainant that there is no docket fee required for A.M. or administrative matter or administrative case.

8. With all these, it is not complainant’s fault that he failed to pay the docket fees. This is the first time in judicial history that an indirect contempt is being filed against a Senator and in an Administrative Matter. Complainant based his case and pleas upon the very statements and representations of Atty. Midas Marquez, who is the spokesman of the Court, PIO chief and p.s. of the Chief Justice.

9. Finally, complainant reproduces herein as integral part hereof all the allegations and contents of his filed October 5, 2007 pleading in this case to prove that if this and such initiatory pleading are given due course and granted, he could, beyond reasonable doubt show that respondent Miriam Santiago is guilty of indirect contempt of Court, gross misconduct and utter destruction of the Temples of Justice. Specifically, her lust for power (to become Chief Justice by 2010) goes beyond the legal, moral and the boundaries of fairness and justice. She, in no uncertain terms, wanted to destroy the persona of S.C. Associate Justice Antonio T. Carpio, and for this, she must not escape unpunished lest she further annihilate the entire judicial department by her EVIL touch.

RELIEF

IN THE LIGHT OF THE FOREGOING, it is respectfully prayed that the instant -

Further, it is respectfully petitioned that after filing of respondent’s COMMENT / ANSWER, after due notice, and hearing, judgment be rendered declaring her GUILTY of indirect contempt of Court and gross misconduct, inter alia, and punished accordingly under Rule 71, inter alia, of the Rules of Court.

Special Prayer:

Further, petitioner most respectfully petitions this Court –

1) To set this case for Oral Argument, in order that Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, as lawyer and officer of the Court may properly defend herself in the right FORUM, and be disciplined accordingly, and

2) After all the proceedings, to PUNISH her with the same penalties that this Court imposed upon Raul M. Gonzales, because, the facts of that case and this case are interestingly similar if not duplicate in character:

“Court itself as an institution that has been falsely attacked, libel suits cannot be an adequate remedy. The Court concludes that respondent Gonzalez is guilty both of contempt of court in facie curiae and of gross misconduct as an officer of the court and member of the Bar.

ACCORDINGLY, the Court Resolved to SUSPEND Atty. Raul M. Gonzalez from the practice of law indefinitely and until further orders from this Court, the suspension to take effect immediately.”

We try to conduct investigations whenever we receive complaints, but we would really appreciate if these complaints would state in particular detail some of the allegations so that we could begin the investigation at some point. He lamented that such allegations could be bandied about in the media and tarnish the high court's reputation. "And then it would be picked up by the media. It's bringing the entire Supreme Court down.” (By Leila Salaverria, Tetch Torres, Inquirer, INQUIRER.net, 10:41 pm, 09/24/2007).

SC justice behind smear campaign vs Santiago -- senator
Breaking News / Nation - by Veronica Uy - INQUIRER.net, 10:36pm - 09/25/2007

MANILA, Philippines -- Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago on Tuesday accused another Supreme Court justice of orchestrating the smear campaign against Justice Consuelo Ynares-Santiago. The feisty Senator said Justice Santiago was being implicated in a payoff scandal possibly to force her to inhibit herself from a multi-billion peso land case that is pending in the high court. The court met en banc Tuesday to investigate media reports that insinuated Justice Santiago received a gift-wrapped box containing P10 million and linked the incident to the hotly-contested Maysilo-Araneta University land case in Quezon City. Justice Santiago earlier penned a decision affirming a Court of Appeals ruling awarding ownership of the contested 34-hectare prime property to the heirs of a certain Homer Barque over other powerful claimants. The case was later reopened. Both sides are represented by big law firms.

In a press conference, Senator Santiago said she suspects that another Supreme Court justice could be behind the orchestrated media plot to bring Justice Santiago into disgrace, and compel her to inhibit herself from writing the decision. “I suggest that the Supreme Court investigate as well another Supreme Court justice who used to have connections in one of the law firms involved in this case. I do not say that the Justice devised the plot to destroy Justice Santiago but certainly he is involved in it. Hindi nila masuhulan kaya sisirain nila (They cannot bribe her, that’s why they try to destroy her instead). “That justice should be investigated. If I get more facts I’ll name him outright, and I’ll have the Senate investigate more on the fiasco,” she said. (With Gil Cabacungan Jr. and Leila B. Salaverria, Philippine Daily Inquirer).

Asked about the allegations of Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago that another Supreme Court justice was behind the attacks against Santiago, Marquez said she may have to clarify her statement if there is a need for her to do so. "As of now we don't know exactly what the good senator is referring at. If she is sure, maybe an affidavit will help," he said.

Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago, in a statement, said she was not related to the justice, but defended her as being “impeccably honest.” She said the attacks came from another Supreme Court justice who used to belong to a big law firm, and could be aimed at getting her off the Quezon City land case.

SC to investigate bribery allegations vs one of its justices

by Leila Salaverria, Tetch Torres, INQUIRER.net, 09/24/2007
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=90447

In the decision penned by Justice4 Santiago released last September 4, the high court ordered the Sandiganbayan to dismiss the case against Go because he could be charged for violation of Republic Act 3019 or the Anti-Graft Law Section 3 (g) because such provision only applies to public officers. Section 3 (g) of the Anti-Graft Law punishes "public officers who, on behalf of the government, enter into contracts or transactions manifestly and grossly disadvantageous to the government whether or not the public officer profited or will profit thereby." Go, and co-accused former transportation secretary Vicente Rivera Jr. were charged by the Office of the Ombudsman for allegedly conspiracy in connection with the mothballed NAIA terminal.

Justice Santiago earlier penned a decision affirming a Court of Appeals ruling awarding ownership of the contested 34-hectare prime property to the heirs of a certain Homer Barque over other powerful claimants. The case was later reopened. Both sides are represented by big law firms.

Supreme Court Justice Suspected of Accepting Payoff

By Marites Dañguilan Vitug and Aries Rufo -Tuesday, 25 September 2007
http://www.newsbreak.com.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3741&Itemid=88889005
Two Cases: Piatco and QC Land Dispute

At the time of the alleged payoff, there were two controversial cases pending before the Supreme Court of which Ynares-Santiago penned the decisions. One is the Piatco case, wherein Ynares-Santiago, this month, ordered the dismissal of the graft case against the former chair and president of the Philippine International Air Terminals Co. Inc (Piatco), in connection with the voided contract to build the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3—reversing an earlier Supreme Court decision (click here for our list of stories on NAIA-3). The High Court directed the Sandiganbayan to withdraw the criminal case versus Henry Go, saying that he was charged under the wrong provision of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. In that decision, Ynares-Santiago reversed a decision written by Justice Romeo Callejo in April, who retired soon after. Then, Callejo won, with a 3-2 vote. This time, Ynares-Santiago got two justices on her side, Adolf Azcuna and Cancio Garcia, who concurred with her. The deliberations in the third division over the Piatco case were described as “bitter.” It was in March that Ynares-Santiago fired Delis, at the height of the exchanges on the case. "No concrete proof has been shown," Moises Tolentino, Piatco spokesman, told Newsbreak, referring to the alleged bribery. "We are the victims here. Piatco has been battered by countless allusions of wrongdoings."

The other case, which is still pending before the Supreme Court en banc, reportedly has to do with a dispute over an estimated P1.7-billion, 34-hectare prime property in Quezon City, near the Ayala Heights subdivision. Ynares Santiago wrote a decision in December 2005 in favor of the new claimants, heirs of Homer Barque, invalidating the title of the long-time settlers, the Manotoks.

SC threatens Malaya publisher with contempt over bribery report

http://www.malaya.com.ph/sep27/news6.htm

Court spokesman Jose Midas Marquez said the high court might also ask Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago to explain her statements to the media that another SC justice could be behind the smear campaign against Justice Santiago.
"As of now, we don’t know exactly what the good senator is referring to. If she is sure, maybe an affidavit will help. I suppose she will have to clarify that statement, the court will decide if there’s a need. We don’t know yet, we’re focusing on the columns of Mr. Macasaet," he said. Senator Santiago said Tuesday that the justice behind the smear campaign "used to belong to a law firm known to be interested" in the "lucrative Quezon city land dispute." She also said she would name the suspect justice when she gets more facts.

LEGAL BASIS AND PRECEDENT FOR DOCKETING THIS CASE
“A.M. No. 00-7-09-CA - March 27, 2001

IN RE: DEROGATORY NEWS ITEMS CHARGING COURT OF APPEALS ASSOCIATE JUSTICE DEMETRIO DEMETRIA WITH INTERFERENCE ON BEHALF OF A SUSPECTED DRUG QUEEN: COURT OF APPEALS ASSOCIATE JUSTICE DEMETRIO G. DEMETRIA.

“Such is this administrative charge triggered by newspaper accounts which appeared on the 21 July 2000 issues of The Manila Standard, The Manila Times, Malaya, The Philippine Daily Inquirer and Today. The national dailies collectively reported that Court of Appeals Associate Justice Demetrio G. Demetria tried to intercede on behalf of suspected Chinese drug queen Yu Yuk Lai, alias Sze Yuk Lai, who went in and out of prison to play in a Manila casino. That same day, 21 July 2000, Chief Justice Davide, Jr., issued a Memorandum to Justice Demetria directing him to comment on the derogatory allegations in the news items.”

1. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. In view of the IRREPARABLE damage and injury to the legal profession and to the last bulwark of democracy, this Honorable Court of Last Resort, must defend itself and all the Justices, against EVIL. For, if these continuing attacks by respondent Miriam Defensor-Santiago (“Senator Santiago”, for brevity) are not stopped at the earliest opportunity, the judicial department would be helpless, all the Magistrates would be ridiculed, and like C. J. Panganiban, Senator Santiago would repeatedly SPIT upon, again and again upon the temple of justice.

“Sec. 6. Permissive joinder of parties.

All persons in whom or against whom any right to relief in respect to or arising out of the same transaction or series of transactions is alleged to exist, whether jointly, severally, or in the alternative, may, except as otherwise provided in these Rules, join as plaintiffs or be joined as defendants in one complaint, where any question of law or fact common to all such plaintiffs or to all such defendants may arise in the action; but the court may make such orders as may be just to prevent any plaintiff or defendant from being embarrassed or put to expense in connection with any proceedings in which he may have no interest.

Sec. 8. Necessary party.
A necessary party is one who is not indispensable but who ought to be joined as a party if complete relief is to be accorded as to those already parties, or for a complete determination or settlement of the claim subject of the action.

Sec. 11. Misjoinder and non-joinder of parties.

Neither misjoinder nor non-joinder of parties is ground for dismissal of an action. Parties may be dropped or added by order of the court on motion of any party or on its own initiative at any stage of the action and on such terms as are just. Any claim against a misjoined party may be severed and proceeded with separately.

Sec. 14. Unknown identity or name of defendant.
Whenever the identity or name of a defendant is unknown, he may be sued as the unknown owner, heir, devisee, or by such other designation as the case may require; when his identity or true name is discovered, the pleading must be amended accordingly.”

2. Complainant invokes the liberal interpretation of the Rules, especially jurisprudence on administrative cases which in no uncertain terms teaches that the instant administrative case is not governed by the ordinary rules of procedure.
3. Complaint invokes the TWIN DIRECTIVES / ORDERS of this Honorable Court to RAUL GONZALES and DEMETRIA DEMETRIA to file COMMENT on DEROGATORY ALLEGATIONS versus the Supreme Court / its Associate Justices, made by them, and PUBLISHED in the NEWSPAPER REPORTS.

The ACCUSATION/CHARGES

– in that she miserably failed to be the embodiment of competence, integrity, and independence; (due to her ardent desire to be promoted, for power, lust for glory); she did not behave to promote public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary; she conveyed to the public, an impression that she was so powerful / in a special position to influence others; she failed to follow the strict mandates of Rules 138, Rules of Court, and the Bill of Rights, RULE OF LAW, and due process;

These violations/acts and omissions of respondent definitely show her to be wanting in moral character and probity/good demeanor or unworthy to continue as officer of the Court, or unfit or unsafe person to enjoy the privileges of attorneys or for conducts which tend to bring reproach on the legal profession and to the High Tribunal, or to injure it in the favorable opinion of the public. She clearly demonstrated attitudes and courses of conduct wholly inconsistent with the approved professional standards, of having failed to live up to her duties as lawyer in consonance with the strictures of the lawyer’s oath, the cited Canons and Codes, thereby having occasioned unwarranted sufferings, humiliations and hardships on Magistrates. She was propelled by ill motives and malicious intentions, coupled with greed and lust for power or promotion, having failed in conscientiously seeing to it that justice permeates every aspect of her duties and profession, in conformity with the avowed duties of worthy members and officers of the Bar and the Bench.

Locus Standi

1. Complainant is a Filipino Citizen, a taxpayer, and a registered voter of 123 Dahlia, Alido, Malolos, Bulacan, his home and postal address, where he may be served with court processes, orders and judgments.

2. As a citizen, taxpayer and registered voter, undersigned has LOCUS STANDI or legal standing to file this case, is an interested / real party-in-interest and has direct, special and extra-ordinary interest in the subject matters of this landmark case.

NATURE, SPECIAL PURPOSE AND TRANSCENDENTAL VALUE OF THE COMPLAINT; GENERAL, SPECIAL AND DIRECT INTERESTS OF PETITIONER IN THIS CASE; IRREPARABLE INJURY TO THE NATION / COMPLAINANT/ JUDICIARY

The matter is a delicate one, quite obviously, and must thus be dealt with utmost circumspection, to avoid any FURTHER ridicule, attacks and humiliation not only of Magistrates but the Supreme Court itself. The issues posed by the petition / complaint transcend the persons of complainant, Justice Santiago and the specific Supreme Court Justice from the law firm that respondent accused HELPLESSLY in the media. These issues affect some of our most deeply held values in democracy --- the protection of civil and judicial rights, the tarnishing and perhaps total destruction of the judicial department/our temples of justice. The petition and complaint at bar concern all these values. It is the people on the line. It is we.

3. RIGHT TO INFORMATION: As a citizen, taxpayer and registered voter, complainant has a constitutional right to information on all matters of public concern, not the least of which is the ORCHESTRATED attack of respondent Santiago upon the 3 or 5 nominees would-be in the 2010 Chief Justice Race.

EARLY RESOLUTION DEMANDED BY PUBLIC GOOD

4. Until this petition/complaint is finally resolved, the entire legal profession, the judiciary and the litigants, inter alia, remain in the dark.

This 22nd PUNO-QUISUMBING COURT must perforce leave us a 2009-2010 LEGACY OF AND IRON HAND AGAINST merciless lawyers and powerful public servants, to save not only the High Tribunal, but to protect and defend a Supreme Court Justice who is now rendered HELPLESS.

Article IV – Respondent’s Apology to Chinese Embassy and FFCCCII

Senator apologizes for saying China ‘invented corruption’ (3:39 p.m.)

http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/net/2007/09/27/senator.apologizes.for.saying.china.invented.corruption.(3.39.p.m.).html

MANILA -- A senator apologized Thursday for saying China "invented corruption" during a heated hearing into an allegedly overpriced broadband deal Manila signed with a Chinese company.

"I will write a formal letter of apology to the Chinese ambassador," Senator Miriam Santiago, head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told reporters. Santiago, famous for her mercurial temper, publicly berated China in a nationally televised hearing Wednesday into a US$330 million (euro235 million) broadband network contract that was awarded to China's Zhong Xing Telecommunication Equipment (ZTE) Corp. amid allegations of bribery and overpricing.

"China invented civilization in the East, but as well it invented corruption for all of human civilization," Santiago said Wednesday.

Santiago officially apologizes to Chinese embassy

By Veronica Uy - INQUIRER.net - Last updated 11:56am - 09/28/2007

MANILA, Philippines -- Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago has officially sent a letter of apology to the Chinese embassy, saying she suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome, which might explain her remarks alleging that the Chinese “invented corruption.” “These are not excuses, but perhaps they explain why I was not as diplomatic as I should have been,” Santiago said in her letter addressed to Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Song Tao. The letter, dated September 27, started and ended with an apology.

“This is to respectfully apologize for whatever offense may have been caused by my remarks at the Senate hearing yesterday [September 26] on the proposed RP-China loan agreement…I humbly apologize to you, the People’s Republic of China, and the Chinese people. No offense was intended and I hope none will be taken,” she said.

Chinese embassy, Filipino-Chinese group slam Santiago ‘slur’

http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/breakingnews/view_article.php?article_id=91094

By Veronica Uy, INQUIRER.net, Last updated 05:08 pm 09/27/2007

MANILA, Philippines -- The Chinese embassy in Manila and the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FFCCCII) on Thursday protested Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago’s anti-Chinese remarks during Wednesday’s Senate hearing on the controversial national broadband network (NBN) deal.

The protests came even as Santiago, earlier in the day, said she would apologize to the Chinese embassy for the comment she made Wednesday when, as the Senate continued its probe on the allegedly shady contract bagged by state-owned Chinese firm ZTE Corp. on Wednesday, she blurted out that the Chinese had “invented corruption.”

“Such kind of comments [are] neither fair nor correct,” the Chinese embassy protested. “We believe that the Philippine government and the people of the Philippines will not agree to that. It is known to all that anti-corruption is a common task faced by all the countries of the world. Corruption exists not only in China, nor was it created by China,” the embassy said. “The Chinese government has all along devoted itself to the building of an honest and clean government and combat against all forms of corruption,” it added. “In recent years, the Chinese government has adopted even tougher measures in combat against corruption and achieved prominent results. [We] think people of insight can all see it.”

On the other hand, the FFCCCII demanded an apology in behalf of ethnic Chinese, not just in the country but also around the world. “While her [Santiago’s] outburst may have been made in the heat of emotion during the ZTE-NBN probe, the general and sweeping racial slur is directed against all Chinese and ethnic Chinese around the world,” the FFCCCII said in a statement. “In the interest of fair play, we at the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry -- in behalf of all fellow Chinese-Filipinos -- demand an immediate and unqualified apology from Senator Santiago,” it added. The FFCCCII said it was “taken aback by the irresponsible and insensitive statements” of Santiago against the Chinese.

It said the alleged irregularities in the “isolated” NBN-ZTE transaction “cannot be the basis of the unwarranted and regrettable condemnation” by the senator. “This unfortunate utterance is all the more deplorable since Senator Santiago is not only a senator of the republic, but more so, is chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee,” the group said. The federation has more than 50,000 members in 170 chapters around the country.

Hurt, furious Miriam vows vengeance on JBC, SC

Tuesday, December 05, 2006, By Jomar Canlas, Reporter

Voted out of the shortlist of nominees for the post of chief justice, Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago vowed get back at the Supreme Court and the Judicial Bar Council (JBC) by slashing their budgets. “I am foaming in the mouth, I am hitting the roof.”

Panganiban blamed

JBC sources told The Manila Times that Senior Associate Justice Reynato Puno and Associate Justice Leonardo Quisumbing as topnotchers with seven votes each. Associate Justice Consuelo Ynares-Santiago and Angelina Sandoval-Gutierrez got five votes each.

The JBC also shut out Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, who penned the scathing Court decision that junked the people’s initiative bid of administration allies.

A furious Santiago accused Panganiban of orchestrating her defeat. She said Panganiban punished her for being a close ally of President Arroyo.

But she did not offer any proof except to cite the chief justice’s closeness to former senator Jovito Salonga, a critic of the administration.

Santiago then promised to push for a reduction of the Supreme Court’s budget to 2005 levels and that of the JBC to just P100. JBC member Sen. Francis Pangilinan said the non-inclusion of Santiago sent a message. “I think the judiciary is not yet open in accepting an outsider,” Pangilinan said. Gonzalez, another JBC member, tried to appease the senator, saying some members fought for her nomination. The process of arriving at a shortlist was marred by controversy over the public interviews after the Supreme Court justices snubbed the JBC’s call for public interviews.

Miriam is spurned, hits ‘idiots’ in tribunal

http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=news2_dec5_2006
By Roy Pelovello and Rey E. Requejo

SENATOR Miriam Defensor Santiago yesterday accused Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban of plotting with other Supreme Court justices to keep her off the list of nominees for his position when he retires Dec. 7.

“I’m foaming at the mouth. I’m hitting the roof. I’m homicidal. I’m suicidal. I’m ballistic. I spit in the face of Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban,” she said in a privilege speech after learning that the Judicial and Bar Council left her off the short list of nominees. “I am not interested in becoming chief justice if I am going to be surrounded by idiots,” she said. Santiago tore into Panganiban, who sits as chairman of the council, accusing him of spearheading the campaign to blacklist her for being a court outsider.
“There was a plot to disqualify me from the soon-to-be-vacated post of chief justice on the suspicion that since I am perceived to be an intimate political ally of the President, once nominated, I would be appointed... Mr. Panganiban was the mastermind of this thinly veiled plot to disqualify me. He and his cohorts want to uphold [the tradition] that no outsider should be appointed chief justice.”

Santiago also attacked the members of the bar council as “earthworms” for going along with Panganiban in protecting a tradition that was nowhere to be found in the Constitution.

“I prefer the company of my colleagues in the Philippine Senate anytime, anywhere, any day, to the company of those idiots in the Supreme Court,” she said. “They are idiots not only in the intellectual but also in the moral sense [because they are] so devoid of any sense of moral propriety that they are perfectly capable of voting for self-interest over the rights protected by the Constitution in favor of other people.”

Santiago described her disqualification as “hypocrisy, naked,” and promised to examine the Supreme Court’s funds more closely and to recommend a reduction in its budget.

“If you want a boxing match, I’ll oblige. If you want a debate at Plaza Miranda, that’s fine with me too,” she said.

Senate Majority Leader Francis Pangilinan said Carpio was left out because he didn’t get enough votes while Santiago was dropped because she was an outsider.

Miriam hits back, seeks JBC abolition

http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=politics02_dec06_2005

At the risk of being accused of sour-graping, Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago yesterday called for the abolition of the Judicial and Bar Council by amending the Constitution, and slashing its budget next year “to the minimum.”

Santiago made the proposal after the JBC refused to extend the period of nomination for the chief justice, but gave the candidates for ombudsman a wider leeway. Santiago, a former regional trial court judge, said that technically, the JBC cannot be abolished because it is created by the Constitution, but Congress can give a warning by slashing its budget.

“Yes, I myself have a personal interest, because I was nominated for chief justice. My nomination was excluded because the JBC refused to extend the period of nomination,” Santiago said. “But I am acting in good faith, and not out of personal vengeance.

“Prior to all these controversies, I already told Senator Francis Pangilinan, a JBC member, that I will not be interested in the post of chief justice until my term expires in 2010.”

(Hon. Reynato S. Puno Chief Justice , December 7, 2006 - May 17, 1940 Retirement - May 17, 2010 -Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo)

Santiago also raised suspicions that the JBC could have unwittingly excluded qualified candidates by calling for nominations on Nov. 4, and imposing a deadline of Nov. 10, thus, depriving the public to be informed and to prepare nominations. “Under the present system, it is possible for a Supreme Court justice to support his personal protegés for appointment to the JBC, and in turn for those protegés to vote for him as chief justice when a vacancy occurs. That would be very unhealthy for the judicial system.”

Santiago also assailed the decision of the JBC not to subject to public interviews the three nominees — Associate Justices Reynato Puno, Artemio Panganiban and Leonardo Quisumbing — to the post of chief justice, contrary to the JBC’s own rules. Rey E. Requejo

Article VI– Senator Santiago’s Agenda: At all cost, Viral Attack upon the Integrity, persona and candidacy of ANTONIO T. CARPIO – She knows her formidable opponent

I respectfully SUBMIT my evidence to prove that respondent Santiago’s MEDIA attacks upon the Supreme Court Justice of a BIG LAW FIRM, do have no other purpose but to oust her bitter rival, at the earliest opportunity, having TASTED her most painful TWIN defeats over the Highest Judicial Post, in 2005 and 2006.

I borrow from her Senate biography, news and mainly from MULTI-awarded WikiPedia Encyclopedia, the world’s largest ONLINE encyclopedia:

Assassination Attempt

Miriam was suddenly victimized in a car crash that remains unsolved up to the present. On the highway during a speaking tour, Miriam suffered life-threatening injuries, after a car rammed her vehicle on the side where she was seated. Bloodied and unconscious, she was airlifted by helicopter from Tarlac to Metro Manila and taken to the Metropolitan Hospital.

Her staff decided not to reveal the true extent of Miriam's injuries, so as not to prejudice her presidential chances. But she was completely immobile and could not walk nor even move her arms. Her facial injuries made it impossible for her to talk, and she had to communicate by writing. She underwent surgery, during which she had a near-death experience.

Personal Tragedy – Mental and Physical Health Deterioration

Miriam's husband Narciso Y. Santiago Jr. from Tarlac, nicknamed "Jun," serves as presidential adviser on revenue enhancement. Under President Estrada, Jun served as undersecretary of local government. The couple has two birth children, Narciso III and Alexander Robert.

Miriam lost her younger son in November 2003. He was only 22 years old and was on the Dean's List at the Ateneo University. In the years that followed her personal tragedy, Miriam's irreparable grief manifested itself as a health failure, including a minor stroke (thankfully without lingering effects), hypertension, pinched nerves, high cholesterol, and most recently, unexplained anorexia (an eating disorder) which caused her to lose weight.

Talk:Miriam Defensor Santiago
Son's suicide

“Perhaps we can add details on the son's suicide death. Miriam said something about UP Law Professors and classmates teasing her son about her being crazy or unhinged. This supposedly drove her son to suicide. She tried to sue UP but you can ask any UP law student and it's standard practice to tuant, tease, initmidate etc. any law student. It's suppose to prepare them for future law practice. Responsiblebum 06:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Answer: The above statement an understatement because "tease and intimidate" should be replaced by "insulted". It is not common to "insult people and definitely not common to insult even members of your family" in an interview. And yes, I already asked a UP law student in U.P. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.138.159.4 (talk • contribs) 06:09, November 17, 2006 (UTC)

Well I must check with UP on this whether insult is off limits. From what I know it isn't. Still it is worth mentioning the circumstances of the son's suicide. Responsiblebum 08:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

You can start by making a thorough investigation a) checking police records/interviews from witnesses b) ask the family themselves including Miriam c) conduct interviews from former classmates and professors. Do not rely on Miriam statements alone as she might be angry at the time her son committed suicide i.e. her allegations might be unfounded. Then edit this page and cite your sources. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.36.169.226 (talk) 11:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC).

Miriam Defensor Santiago
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

78% Bar RATING, Teacher of Trinity College, Quezon City, 4 years

She earned a Bachelor of Laws, from the University of the Philippines Diliman in 1969. Her classmates include former Senate President Franklin Drilon, San Juan Representative Ronaldo Zamora, and Eli Pamatong. Miriam took the 1969 Bar Exams and received a 78% average grade, to her great dismay.[3] [4] Her classmates Zamora and Drilon were first and third respectively, getting high grades, eventually landing in top law firms. In stark contrast, Santiago ended up teaching Political Science to undergraduates at Trinity College of Quezon City.[3]

To bolster her credentials and do over her dismal performance in the bar exam, Santiago resorted to higher learning. She attended the University of Michigan Law School from 1974 to 1976, earning degrees in Master of Laws and Doctor of Juridical Science.[3]
(Sources: # "Presidential Profiles: Miriam Defensor Santiago." Probe Team Documentaries. GMA-7. March–April 1998.
# ^ Official Records of the Supreme Court Bar Examinations Committee, Office of the Bar Confidant, Supreme Court of the Philippines, 1969).

Santiago again ran for president in the 1998 elections and invited fellow Senator Francisco Tatad to be her running mate. Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino candidate Joseph Estrada won the election and became president, though Santiago again made claims of election fraud. After the election, Santiago returned to the senate.

When she lost in the Senate race of 2001, she worked on updating her law and political science textbooks, which were last released 2002.[6]Official Publications List, Central Book Store, 2002.

A traditional corrupt politician, carrying high levels of arrogance, greed for power, and opportunism

However, a considerable number of lawyers, academicians, political analysts, journalists, and activists measure her as a traditional corrupt politician, carrying high levels of arrogance, greed for power, and opportunism. She is often quoted as having described less educated Filipinos as "species of lower life forms"

On January 13, 2001, Santiago and ten other senators voted against the opening of a bank envelope. The vote ended the impeachment trial and led to the Second People Power Revolution which removed Estrada from office.

Senator Santiago announced publicly that "I will jump headfirst from a helicopter in Luneta if Estrada gets removed from power" but later recanted and said "I lied".[11]

Santiago ran for reelection in the 2001 elections following the Estrada's removal, but was not re-elected. It was at this point in her career that tragedy struck her personal life. Her favorite son, AR, an aspiring law student, failed an exam and took his life. His last missive bewailed the peer pressure he suffered as the son of a notoriously corrupt politician.[12] In retaliation, Miriam vowed to retire permanently from politics and devote her time to the persecution of the law school professors whom she held responsible for her son's suicide.[13]

In the 2004 elections, Santiago reneged on her vow and ran again for senator, this time switching to the President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's K4 coalition and won. She currently holds the position of chairperson and lone member of the People's Reform Party. Her office in West Triangle, Quezon City offers a library of her written books.

Santiago announced her intentions to apply as one of the possible candidates to fill the post of Supreme Court Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban upon his retirement in December 2006. Ultimately, the Judicial and Bar Council removed Santiago from the shortlist of candidates for the position.[14] Santiago openly criticized the move, questioning the qualifications of Panganiban and labelling the Supreme Court an "old boy's club" for not admitting outsiders into their fold.[15] The shortlisting came after all the nominees, save for Santiago, boycotted a public interview held by the Judicial Bar Council that aimed to improve the institution's transparency.[16]

On July 10, 2007, Santiago said that an acquittal of ousted President Estrada will consequently cast doubts on the legitimacy of President Arroyo’s assumption into office. She advised that only a conviction will be to the best interest of Mrs. Arroyo: “If President Estrada is acquitted now, we will have a dilemma: What then is the status of President Arroyo? Two, if he is acquitted, the conclusion can only be that there was no plunder and therefore there was no basis to remove him from office. What then is the basis of President Arroyo in the elections (in 2004) that followed after she was installed (in 2001)? That in itself will create another legal dilemma,”.[17] Further, Santiago accused some winning senators of having ‘paid their way to office’ (P200 million is the non-negotiable minimum amount to carry out a senatorial electoral campaign “which is simply unethical”).

Health - Chronic fatigue syndrome and anorexia

On September 28, 2007, Miriam Defensor-Santiago stated that she is sick of chronic fatigue syndrome. [25] (CFS) is highly debilitating disorder marked by chronic mental and physical exhaustion, often severe, and by other specific symptoms, arising in previously healthy and active persons. [26] She also suffered from Anorexia (symptom), the decreased sensation of appetite (disorders that cause (harmful) anorexia include anorexia nervosa, severe depression, cancer, dementia, AIDS, and chronic renal failure and the use of certain drugs, particularly stimulants and narcotics. Environmentally induced disorders such as altitude sickness can also trigger an acute form of anorexia. Anorexia may also be seen in congestive heart failure, perhaps due to congestion of the liver with venous blood).
Jurisprudence

I begin by referring to the authority of the Supreme Court to discipline officers of the court and members of the Bar. The Supreme Court, as regulator and guardian of the legal profession, has plenary disciplinary authority over attorneys. The authority to discipline lawyers stems from the Court's constitutional mandate to regulate admission to the practice of law, which includes as well authority to regulate the practice itself of law. Quite apart from this constitutional mandate, the disciplinary authority of the Supreme Court over members of the Bar is an inherent power incidental to the proper administration of justice and essential to an orderly discharge of judicial functions. Moreover, the Supreme Court has inherent power to punish for contempt, to control in the furtherance of justice the conduct of ministerial officers of the Court including lawyers and all other persons connected in any manner with a case before the Court. The power to punish for contempt is "necessary for its own protection against an improper interference with the due administration of justice," "(it) is not dependent upon the complaint of any of the parties litigant.

It has been held that contempt of court is a defiance of the authority, justice or dignity of the court, such conduct as tends to bring the authority and administration of the law into disrespect. It signifies not only a willful disregard or disobedience of the court’s order but such conduct as tends to bring the authority of the court and the administration of law into disrepute or in some manner to impede the due administration of justice. (Abad v. Somera, G.R. No. 82216, July 2, 1990, 187 SCRA 75, 84-85.)

Contempt in facie curiae / 4 ½ years Suspension of RAUL GONZALEZ

“On 9 February 1988, petitioner Zaldivar filed with the Court a Motion to Cite in Contempt 11 directed at respondent Gonzalez. The Motion cited as bases the acts of respondent Gonzalez in: (1) having caused the filing of the information against petitioner in Criminal Case No. 12570 before the Sandiganbayan; and (2) issuing certain allegedly contemptuous statements to the media in relation to the proceedings in G.R. No. 80578. In respect of the latter, petitioner annexed to his Motion a photocopy of a news article, reproduced here in toto, which appeared in the 30 November 1987 issue of the "Philippine Daily Globe:"

Tanod Scores SC for Quashing Graft Case

TANODBAYAN Justice Raul M. Gonzalez said yesterday the Supreme Court order stopping him from investigating graft cases involving Antique Gov. Enrique Zaldivar can aggravate the thought that affluent persons "can prevent the progress of a trial."

What I am afraid of (with the issuance of the order) is that it appears that while rich and influential persons get favorable actions from the Supreme Court, it is difficult for an ordinary litigant to get his petition to be given due course. Gonzalez told the Daily Globe in an exclusive interview.

Gonzalez said the high tribunal's order "heightens the people's apprehension over the justice system in this country, especially because the people have been thinking that only the small fly can get it while big fishes go scot-free."

Gonzalez was reacting to an order issued by the tribunal last week after Zaldivar petitioned the court to stop the Tanodbayan from investigating graft cases filed against him. Zaldivar had charged that Gonzalez was biased in his investigations because the latter wanted to help promote the political fortunes of a friend from Antique, lawyer Bonifacio Alentajan. Acting on Zaldivar's petition, the high court stopped Gonzalez from investigating a graft charge against the governor, and from instituting any complaint with the Sandiganbayan. While President Aquino had been prodding me to prosecute graft cases even if they involve the high and mighty, the Supreme Court had been restraining me. Gonzalez said.

In accordance with the President's order, Gonzalez said he had filed graft cases against two "very powerful" officials of the Aquino government-Commissioner Quintin Doromal of the Presidential Commission on Good Government and Secretary Jiamil I.M. Dianlan of the Office of Muslim Affairs and Cultural Communities. While I don't wish to discuss the merits of the Zaldivar petition before the Supreme Court, I am a little bit disturbed that (the order) can aggravate the thinking of some people that affluent persons can prevent the progress of a trial, he said.

He disclosed that he had a talk with the Chief Executive over the weekend and that while she symphatizes with local officials who are charged in court during election time, 'She said that it might be a disservice to the people and the voters who are entitled to know their candidates.

Gonzalez said that while some cases filed against local officials during election time could be mere harassment suits, the Constitution makes it a right of every citizen to be informed of the character of tile candidate, who should be subject to scrutiny. (Emphasis supplied)
The power to punish for contempt of court does not exhaust the scope of disciplinary authority of the Court over lawyers. The disciplinary authority of the Court over members of the Bar is but corollary to the Court's exclusive power of admission to the Bar. A lawyer is not merely a professional but also an officer of the court and as such, he is called upon to share in the task and responsibility of dispensing justice and resolving disputes in society. Any act on his part which visibly tends to obstruct, pervert, or impede and degrade the administration of justice constitutes both professional misconduct calling for the exercise of disciplinary action against him, and contumacious conduct warranting application of the contempt power.

It is sometimes asserted that in the exercise of the power to punish for contempt or of the disciplinary authority of the Court over members of the Bar, the Court is acting as offended party, prosecutor and arbiter at one and the same time. Thus, in the present case, respondent Gonzalez first sought to get some members of the Court to inhibit themselves in the resolution of this case for alleged bias and prejudice against him. A little later, he in effect asked the whole Court to inhibit itself from passing upon the issues involved in this proceeding and to pass on responsibility for this matter to the Integrated Bar of the Philippines, upon the ground that respondent cannot expect due process from this Court, that the Court has become incapable of judging him impartially and fairly. Respondent Gonzalez misconceives the nature of the proceeding at bar as well as the function of the members of the Court in such proceeding.

In Salcedo v. Hernandez, Atty. Vicente Francisco filed a Motion before the Supreme Court which contained the following paragraph (in translation):

We should like frankly and respectfully to make it of record that the resolution of this court, denying our motion for reconsideration, is absolutely erroneous and constitutes an outrage to the rights of the petitioner Felipe Salcedo and a mockery of the popular will expressed at the polls in the municipality of Tiaong, Tayabas. We wish to exhaust all the means within our power in order that this error may be corrected by the very court which has committed it, because we should not want that some citizen, particularly some voter of the municipality of Tiaong, Tayabas, resort to the press publicly to denounce, as he has a right to do, the judicial outrage of which the herein petitioner has been the victim, and because it is our utmost desire to safeguard the prestige of this honorable court and of each and every member thereof in the eyes of the public. But, at the same time we wish to state sincerely that erroneous decisions like these, which the affected party and his thousands of voters will necessarily consider unjust, increase the proselytes of sakdalism and make the public lose confidence in the administration of justice. (61 Phil. at 726; emphasis supplied)

When required by the Court to show cause why he should not be declared in contempt, Atty. Francisco responded by saying that it was not contempt to tell the truth. Examining the statements made above, the Court held:

... [they] disclose, in the opinion of this court, an inexcusable disrespect of the authority of the court and an intentional contempt of its dignity, because the court is thereby charged with no less than having proceeded in utter disregard of the laws, the rights of the parties, and of the untoward consequences, or with having abused its power and mocked and flouted the rights of Attorney Vicente J. Francisco's client, because the acts of outraging and mocking from which the words 'outrage' and mockery' used therein are derived, means exactly the same as all these, according to the Dictionary of the Spanish Language published by the Spanish Academy (Dictionary of the Spanish Language, 15th ed., pages 132-513).

The insertion of the phrases in question in said motion of Attorney Vicente J. Francisco, for many years a member of the Philippine bar, was neither justified nor in the least necessary, because in order to call the attention of the court in a special way to the essential points relied upon in his argument and to emphasize the force thereof, the many reasons stated in his said motion were sufficient and the phrases in question were superfluous. In order to appeal to reason and justice, it is highly improper and amiss to make trouble and resort to threats, as Attorney Vicente J. Francisco has done, because both means are annoying and good practice can ever sanction them by reason of their natural tendency to disturb and hinder the free exercise of a serene and impartial judgment, particularly in judicial matters, in the consideration of questions submitted for resolution.

There is no question that said paragraph of Attorney Vicente J. Francisco's motion contains a more or less veiled threat to the court because it is insinuated therein, after the author shows the course which the voters of Tiaong should follow in case he fails in his attempt, that they will resort to the press for the purpose of denouncing, what he claims to be a judicial outrage of which his client has been the victim; and because he states in a threatening manner with the intention of predisposing the mind of the reader against the court, thus creating an atmosphere of prejudices against it in order to make it odious in the public eye, that decisions of the nature of that referred to in his motion to promote distrust in the administration of justice and increase the proselytes of sakdalism a movement with seditious and revolutionary tendencies the activities of which, as is of public knowledge, occurred in this country a few days ago. This cannot mean otherwise than contempt of the dignity of the court and disrespect of the authority thereof on the part of Attorney Vicente J. Francisco, because he presumes that the court is so devoid of the sense of justice that, if he did not resort to intimidation, it would maintain its error notwithstanding the fact that it may be proven, with good reasons, that it has acted erroneously.

As a member of the bar and an officer of this court, Attorney Vicente J. Francisco, as any attorney, is in duty bound to uphold its dignity and authority and to defend its integrity, not only because it had conferred upon him the high privilege, not a right (Malcolm, Legal Ethics, 158 and 160), of being what he now is: a priest of justice (In re Thatcher, 80 Ohio St., Rep., 492, 669), but also because in so doing, he neither creates nor promotes distrust in the administration of justice, and prevents anybody from harboring and encouraging discontent which, in many cases, is the source of disorder, thus undermining the foundation upon which rests that bulwark called judicial power to which those who are aggrieved turn for protection and relief (61 Phil. at 727-728; emphasis supplied)

It should not be supposed that the six (6) cases above discussed exhaust our case law on this matter. In the following cases, among others, the Supreme Court punished for contempt or administratively disciplined lawyers who had made statements not very different from those made in the cases discussed above:

1) In re Wenceslao Laureta, 148 SCRA 382 (1987);

2) Borromeo v. Court of appeals, 87 SCRA 67 (1978);

3) Rheem of the Philippines v. Ferrer, 20 SCRA 441 (1967);

4) Malolos v. Reyes, 1 SCRA 559 (1961);

5) De Joya, et al. v. Court of First Instance of Rizal, Pasay City Branch, 99 Phil. 907 (1956);

6) People v. Venturanza, et al., 98 Phil. 211 (1956);

7) In re Suzano A. Velasquez, per curiam Resolution (unreported), Promulgated 29 April 1955;

8) Cornejo v. Tan, 85 Phil. 772 (1950);

9) People v. Carillon, 77 Phil. 572 (1946);

10) Intestate Estate of Rosario 0lba; Contempt Proceedings against Antonio Franco, 67 Phil. 312 (1939); and

11) Lualhati v. Albert, 57 Phil. 86 (1932).

But it is the cardinal condition of all such criticism that it shall be bonafide and shall not spill over the walls of decency and propriety. A wide chasm exists between fair criticism, on the one hand, and abuse and slander of courts and the judges thereof, on the other. Intemperate and unfair criticism is a gross violation of the duty of respect to courts. It is such a misconduct that subjects a lawyer to disciplinary action.

The lawyer's duty to render respectful subordination to the courts is essential to the orderly administration of justice. Hence, in the assertion of their clients' rights, lawyers even those gifted with superior intellect are enjoined to rein up their tempers.
Only slightly (if at all) less important is the public interest in the capacity of the Court effectively to prevent and control professional misconduct on the part of lawyers who are, first and foremost, indispensable participants in the task of rendering justice to every man. Some courts have held, persuasively it appears to us, that a lawyer's right of free expression may have to be more limited than that of a layman.

It is well to recall that respondent Gonzalez, apart from being a lawyer and an officer of the court, is also a Special Prosecutor who owes duties of fidelity and respect to the Republic and to this Court as the embodiment and the repository of the judicial power in the government of the Republic. The responsibility of the respondent "to uphold the dignity and authority of this Court' and "not to promote distrust in the administration of justice is heavier than that of a private practicing lawyer.

Respondent Gonzalez claims to be and he is, of course, entitled to criticize the rulings of this Court, to point out where he feels the Court may have lapsed into error. Once more, however, the right of criticism is not unlimited. Its limits were marked out by Mr. Justice Castro in In re Almacen which are worth noting.

Court itself as an institution that has been falsely attacked, libel suits cannot be an adequate remedy. The Court concludes that respondent Gonzalez is guilty both of contempt of court in facie curiae and of gross misconduct as an officer of the court and member of the Bar.

ACCORDINGLY, the Court Resolved to SUSPEND Atty. Raul M. Gonzalez from the practice of law indefinitely and until further orders from this Court, the suspension to take effect immediately.

Complainant is not unaware of the possible SHIELD that respondent would utilize to bar this Court and Justice Carpio from disciplining her.

THE 1987 CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES
ARTICLE VI - THE LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT

Section 11. “A Senator or Member of the House of Representatives shall, in all offenses punishable by not more than six years imprisonment, be privileged from arrest while the Congress is in session. No Member shall be questioned nor be held liable in any other place for any speech or debate in the Congress or in any committee thereof”.

LET IT BE REMEMBERED that SC PIO / spokesman Atty. Midas Marquez stated that –

SC threatens Malaya publisher with contempt over bribery report

THURSDAY |SEPTEMBER 27, 2007 | PHILIPPINES
http://www.malaya.com.ph/sep27/news6.htm

Court spokesman Jose Midas Marquez said the high court might also ask Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago to explain her statements to the media that another SC justice could be behind the smear campaign against Justice Santiago.

78% vs. 87.55%, 89.1% Bar Ratings – “Idiots”.

I researched very hard to GATHER not only HARD EVIDENCED to discipline respondent (such as tracing in the INTERNET, her statements that clearly violated Rule 139-B, Disbarment and Contempt), but I borrowed TIME to study her LIFE, her MENTAL and Physical Fitness, inter alia.

This is my PER CURIAM finding:
(Per curiam, means, I do not want to divulge, who whispered this legal hermeneutics to my pen).

Respondent is so smart, yet, due to her poor bar rating of 78% (vis-à-vis
:::::
Velasco, Jr. = 89%
Judge Floro = 87.55%
Carpio = 87.50% - Miriam Santiago = 78%

of course she outwitted ALFREDO L. BENIPAYO, with 77%)

and for sure, with moderate to lower I.Q., she would issue statements before the press and outside the Halls of the Senate, committing LEGAL COMEDY of errors.

For example: she asked that Justice Carpio (the Justice she alluded to) must be investigated by the Court. And she promised, once, she does have evidence. That is legal nonsense. The Constitution provided exclusive original jurisdiction to discipline S.C. Justices in the Impeachment Senate Tribunal or Court. She should file an impeachment complaint against THE Justice in the House of Representative, or rather, JOINTLY with NO TAKERS perennial NUISSANCE Senatorial candidate and annual Impeachment FILER, Atty. Oliver Lozano (who is the favorite headliner of the tabloid THE DAILY TRIBUNE). Respondent must comprehend that the Supreme Court is not barred from suspending her or from imposing the death penalty of DISBARMENT upon her HEAD. She will for sure CREATE another “GULO” on or before May 17, 2010. As she warned Senator Pangilinan (the one who did not vote for her in the JBC). Sec. 11 will never ever be a shield.

A final word.

Na headline na ba si Miriam Santiago sa lahat ng frontpages ng New York Times, WALL STREET JOURNAL, MSN, REUTERS, MSNBC, BBC NEWS, CNN – name them all. This is material to this case, since she never got attention from the international PRESS, just from local media. PERIOD, your Honors. I submit my case.

RELIEF

IN THE LIGHT OF THE FOREGOING, it is respectfully prayed that the instant “Verified Petition / Letter-Affidavit [For Indirect Contempt of Court and Gross Misconduct, inter alia] - with Urgent Motions – To Allow Payment of Docket Fees (Duly Reserved), To Intervene in this Case, For Consolidation and For Immediate Docketing / Resolution” against respondent Senator Miriam Santiago, be duly Noted, given Due Course and Granted.

Further, it is respectfully petitioned that after filing of respondent’s COMMENT / ANSWER, after due notice, hearing, judgment be rendered declaring her GUILTY of indirect contempt of Court and gross misconduct, inter alia, and punished accordingly under Rule 71, inter alia, of the Rules of Court.
Special Prayer:

Further, petitioner most respectfully petitions this Court –
1) To set this case for Oral Argument, in order that Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, as Lawyer and officer of the Court may properly defend herself in the right FORUM, and to be disciplined accordingly,
2) And after all the proceedings, to PUNISH her with the same penalties that this Court imposed upon Raul M. Gonzales, because, the facts of that case and this case are interestingly similar if not duplicate in character:

“Court itself as an institution that has been falsely attacked, libel suits cannot be an adequate remedy. The Court concludes that respondent Gonzalez is guilty both of contempt of court in facie curiae and of gross misconduct as an officer of the court and member of the Bar.

ACCORDINGLY, the Court Resolved to SUSPEND Atty. Raul M. Gonzalez from the practice of law indefinitely and until further orders from this Court, the suspension to take effect immediately.”

In the Philippines, Ex-Judge Consults Three Wee Friends

Mr. Floro Loses His Job
But Becomes a Celebrity;
Using a Little Elfin Magic

By JAMES HOOKWAY
September 17, 2007; Page A1

MANILA, Philippines -- As a trial-court judge, Florentino V. Floro Jr. acknowledged that he regularly sought the counsel of three elves only he could see. The Supreme Court deemed him unfit to serve and fired him last year.

Case closed? Not in the Philippines, where vampires are said to prey on unwary travelers and wealthy politicians consult fortune tellers and card readers. Mr. Floro, 54 years old, has become a media celebrity. He is now wielding his new clout to campaign for the return of his job -- and exact vengeance on the Supreme Court.

Helping him, he says, are his three invisible companions. "Angel" is the neutral force, he says. "Armand" is a benign influence. "Luis," whom Mr. Floro describes as the "king of kings," is an avenger.

Mr. Floro has become a regular on Philippine television. Often he is asked to make predictions with the help of his invisible friends. "They say your show will be taken off the air if you don't feature me more often," was Mr. Floro's reply to one interviewer.

The day after Mr. Floro's first appearance on television last year, hundreds of people turned up at his house in a dusty Manila suburb hoping he could use his supernatural powers to heal their illnesses. Now Mr. Floro, who travels by bus, is regularly recognized on the street.

The Supreme Court says its medical clinic determined that Mr. Floro was suffering from psychosis. Even so, a series of disturbing incidents appear to have the nation's top jurists rattled. According to local newspaper reports, a mysterious fire in January destroyed the Supreme Court's crest in its session hall, and a number of members of the court and their close family members have developed serious illnesses or have fallen victim to car accidents.

Enough bizarre things have happened that in July, the Supreme Court issued an en banc resolution asking Mr. Floro to desist in his threats of "ungodly reprisal." The Supreme Court's spokesman declined to elaborate.

Mr. Floro says he is not suffering from psychosis, and that he's not to blame for the incidents. He points the finger squarely at "king of kings" elf Luis, who Mr. Floro says is bent on cleaning up what he says is the Philippines' corrupt legal system.

Mr. Floro says he never consulted the invisible elves over judicial decisions and the fact that he puts faith in them should make no difference to his career. "It shouldn't matter what I believe in, whether it's Jesus, Muhammad, or Luis, Armand and Angel," he says in an interview.

The Philippines has a long history of mixing organized religion with a deep belief in the supernatural. During the 1950s and 1960s, when the Southeast Asian nation was already an independent republic, the Central Intelligence Agency stoked fears of vampires and ghouls to help its preferred candidates win elections.

The elf, or "duwende," is one of a rich pantheon of supernatural beings that predate the Philippines' colonization by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century. Many Filipinos make pilgrimages to Mount Banahaw, just south of Manila, which is reputedly the country's capital for elves and other beings.

READ THE CASE

http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/elf-floro-09172007.pdf

• Read the Philippines Supreme Court decision dismissing Mr. Floro from the service.Jaime Licauco, who teaches parapsychology at San Beda College in Manila, testified on behalf of Mr. Floro in a 2001 hearing. He argued Mr. Floro is mentally fit and argues the former judge's beliefs aren't so unusual in the Philippine context.

Like many others in the Philippines, Mr. Floro says he himself is a Roman Catholic, and once studied to be a priest. He recalls that he wasn't convinced that serving the church was necessarily the best way to serve other Filipinos. He says he thought he could improve more people's lives if he became a lawyer, and he handily passed the bar exams.

Mr. Floro says he first realized he had the power to perceive Armand, Angel and Luis in 1986. In 1998, he applied to switch from being a lawyer to becoming a judge. He passed a mandatory psychiatric evaluation applied to all prospective judges and was sworn in as a regional trial-court judge in November of that year, handling both civil and criminal cases in Malabon, a district in greater Manila.

In 1999, Mr. Floro invited officials from the Supreme Court's administration unit to inspect his small courtroom. What they found unnerved them, and the Supreme Court convened a hearing to determine whether Mr. Floro should be removed from the bench.

According to Supreme Court papers, the court investigators presenting evidence at the hearing said they found Mr. Floro wearing blue robes instead of the normal black. Mr. Floro's own witnesses testified that he wore black on Fridays to "recharge his psychic powers."

The court investigators also reported that Mr. Floro began court proceedings with readings from the Book of Revelation and conducted hands-on psychic healing sessions for members of the public in his chambers during recesses. The investigators said Mr. Floro would sometimes enter a trance to write his rulings.

During the hearing, Mr. Floro revealed his contact with his elves. He also shared with the judges that Luis predicted that then-Philippine President Joseph Estrada would be ousted from office; Mr. Estrada was forced from power by a popular revolt two years later in 2001 and was sentenced last week to life in prison for corruption.

In March 2006, after lengthy delays, the Supreme Court finally dismissed Mr. Floro from the court service, largely because of his belief in the supernatural. Even though Mr. Floro says the elves played no part in his judicial decisions, the Supreme Court justices said his broad faith in mysticism and supernatural phenomena had affected his work. "Lest we be misconstrued, we do not denigrate such a belief system," Associate Justice Minita Chico-Nazario wrote in the Supreme Court's verdict. "However, such beliefs, especially since Judge Floro acted on them, are at odds with the critical and impartial thinking required of a judge under our judicial system."

Mr. Floro dissents. He has filed three appeals of the Supreme Court's decision since then and is continuing his campaign on local television and on the Internet. The Supreme Court hasn't reversed any of his decisions after suspending and later removing him from the bench.

When elves take the law into their own hands...

Florentino V. Floro Jr. is was a trial judge in Manila, Philippines. Things were going fine for Florentino until he saw fit to inform the public that he has three tiny little friends - elves that only he can see and hear.
After being fired, Floro latched on to the gullibility of an already superstitious public, became a media celebrity and has now vowed to exact revenge on the Supreme Court, using the talents of his invisible buds:

"It shouldn't matter what I believe in, whether it's Jesus, Muhammad, or Luis, Armand and Angel"

Angel, Armand and Luis are the elves' names, in case you're interested. Floro calls Luis "the king of kings". Plenty of people are lining up and defending Floro, saying that his beliefs should be just as valid as those who pray to Jesus for help. I agree with that, but I think that I would go a bit further and say that if a judge talks to someone who isn't there, whether he has pointy ears or wears sandals, perhaps he's really more suited to be a weird, vengeful media personality than to help decide the fate of the accused.

Just sayin'.

Fired Judge Blames Elf for Court Mishaps

Posted Sep 17, 2007, 01:50 pm CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss

The Philippines Supreme Court has asked a fired judge who claims he is assisted by three elves to stop making threats of “ungodly reprisal.”
The court kicked Florentino Floro Jr. off the bench largely because of his belief in the supernatural, the Wall Street Journal reports (sub. req.). A medical clinic determined that the judge was suffering from psychosis.
Since then Floro has battled to get his job back, appearing on TV and winning converts who seek his healing powers. At the same time, a series of unfortunate incidents have befallen the supreme court justices or their families, including serious illnesses and car accidents.
Floro says the person to blame for the mishaps is one of the elves, "Luis," a "king of kings" who is an avenger. He told the newspaper that the elves help him predict the future, but he has never consulted them when issuing judicial decisions.
The Supreme Court has not reversed any of Floro’s decisions since firing him.

Judge Florentino Floro Jr. was removed fromt he bench mostly because he believed in the supernatural. A clinic has diagnosed him with psychosis.
Floro is fighting to get his job back, he has been on television, and converts people who believe in his healing powers. Meanwhile, a string of tragic happening are occuring for the supreme court justices and their families… Things like serious illnesses and terrible car accidents.
Floro claims the one to blame is one of the elves, “Luis” a “king of kings” who is quite vengeful. Floro has said that the elves help him predict he future, but has never consulted with the elves on judicial matters.
The Supreme court has not reversed any of Floro’s decisions.

The Journal's James Hookway informs us that a trial court judge in Manila, Judge Floro, has an interesting set of consultants: three elves, only visible to the judge himself! Belief in this trio has caused the country's supreme court to intervene and fire the judge.

Fired Philippine judge gets advice from "elves"

Ugh. This news is disgusting. I'm originally Chinese from the Philippines. Knowing my relatives, I feel that the widespread religious (mainly Catholic) and superstitious views there are what help keep the Philippines backward, ignorant, poor, and corrupt. People from there (including my family) believe in all sorts of ridiculous crap. They are ignorant and cynical about science, but they pony up to faith healers and fortune tellers. The lack of critical thought hurts them big time.

Apr 22 - Looking back fondly on the Psychic Judge

In the comments of the last post the issue of whether or not I should write a book on the Tarot arose. I mentioned that I’d like to, but wasn’t sure whether I could add anything fresh to the subject.
At which point, for whatever reason, R the P googled my name. He said in the comments that someone had mentioned me as ‘prestigious’. Ahem, yes. So they have.
That was Judge Florentino Floro, the psychic judge, whose case drew quite a bit of interest a year or so ago. I even wrote an article about him in Noumenal.net.
The Judge was kind enough to respond to my article in comments, and also sent me a few emails. Later he sent me a copy of his 3rd addendum to his Supreme Court appeal, which mentioned me and the ‘prestigious’ Noumenal.net. Calling Noumenal.net ‘prestigious’ is kind of like calling RPBE pie ‘gourmet’. I mean, its good, but it ain’t gourmet.
I followed some of the links that R the P googled, and found one that belonged to a lawyer who was also mentioned in the Judge’s appeal. Said lawyer mentions me on his blog, Lowering the Bar, takes my words all out of context and makes me sound a bit daffy. I think I was the punchline of his joke, actually. But what can we expect from a lawyer?
I quote:
I think it is fair to say that people were quite interested in the matter, although there is probably not much we can do from halfway around the world.
Or at least that’s what I thought. In a third supplemental pleading that Judge Floro forwarded me last night, I was a little surprised, but proud, to see that he had cited me as one of a number of worldwide authorities on his case. The pleading starts by reprinting most of an article on the case by Justice William Bedsworth, an associate justice in California’s 4th District Court of Appeals, who has his own blog and who frequently publishes articles in the legal papers here as well. Judge Floro also cites (among others) another California attorney, Lester Hardy; David Pannick, a British attorney; Ken Blanchard, a management and business writer (The One Minute Manager); a French blogger; and Che, a tarot reader and clairvoyant who shares her home with "a couple of spirits, some shadow people, some black blobs, one homunculus and a cat."
The actual appeal quotes my article pretty much verbatim, but unless you understand the context of the black blobs and homunculi, then you’re probably going to think I’m a nut.
Well I am kind of a nut but not because I see dead people. Well… I don’t see them much. Once in a while maybe. I hear them more often than see them. Anyway, tangent. I don’t really feel the need to defend myself to some hyper-materialist lawyer dude. I see what I see, I do what I do, and I probably enjoy life more than him. Well, maybe not these days…
Anyway, I know the judge lost his appeal, and I’d like to know how he’s doing these days so Judge, if you see this, could you drop a comment and let us know what you’re up to? I hope you are well and have found new outlets for your gifts.
And for those who don’t remember the original article that I wrote on the matter, it can be found here.

WTF !!
Imaginary dwarves cost judge job

Friday, August 18, 2006 METRO London.

A judge has lost his job in the Phillipines, on the grounds that he regularly consulted with imaginary mystical dwarves who would join him in 'healing' sessions.
Judge Florentino Floro, from Manila, was originally removed from his post in April, after it emerged that he believed himself to be psychic, and that he would begin his court session with readings from the Book of Revelation.
In appealing that decision, Judge Floro mounted a staunch defence of the existence of his three dwarf friends - who were named Armand, Luis and Angel - telling the court in a letter that they had made a covenant together.
'From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal,' he added.
In addition to the mystical dwarves, Judge Floro also reportedly believed that he was able to forsee the future, that he could inflict pain on others, and that he was the angel of death. He would change his judicial robes from blue to black every Friday to recharge his psychic powers.
The court found that he was unable to carry out his duties due to 'mental unfitness', adding that this could 'erode the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the rational guardian of the law.'
Armand, Luis and Angel were unavailable for comment.

for everyone

I had a post about former Judge Floro a while back, he even left a comment on the story and I told him that I would write a follow up post on his story when I had the time. Obviously, I was not able to do that. Then, picking up a free copy of the Asian Wall Street Journal, I came upon this story.

Former Judge Florentino Floro has hit the big time. When I first read about him, his story was featured in Reuters. Now he is in the Wall Street Journal story which was picked up by one of my favorite blogs.

Then and now, his claim is that he should not have been relieved of his position because
"It shouldn't matter what I believe in, whether it's Jesus, Muhammad, or Luis, Armand and Angel,"
On the face of it, he is absolutely correct, it does not matter what he believes in, as long as he does his duties as a Judge fairly and honestly. And the Philippine Supreme Court resolution that relieved him of his position actually states this fact
"There is no indication that Judge Floro is anything but an honorable man. And, in fact, in our disposition of the 13 charges against him, we have not found him guilty of gross misconduct or acts or corruption"
But he was not relieved of his position because of what he believed in, he was relieved of his position because of
"the findings of psychosis by the mental health professionals assigned to his case indicate gross deficiency in competence and independence."
In the WSJ article, it states that
"He passed a mandatory psychiatric evaluation applied to all prospective judges and was sworn in as a regional trial-court judge in November of that year, handling both civil and criminal cases in Malabon, a district in greater Manila."
What is not stated in the article, that he failed two previous psychiatric tests in 1995 and 1998 because as stated by the evaluating psychologists in 1995
"evidences of developing psychotic process"
and in 1998
"he is at present not intellectually and emotionally equipped to hurdle the responsibilities of a judge and he may decompensate when exposed to anxiety-provoking and stress-laden situation"
but
Because of his impressive academic background, however, the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) allowed Atty. Floro to seek a second opinion from private practitioners. The second opinion appeared favorable thus paving the way to Atty. Floro’s appointment as Regional Trial Court (RTC) Judge of Branch 73, Malabon City, on 4 November 1998.
The Supreme Court came to regret this decision by the JBC because despite all the psychoilogical findings against former Judge Floro, the SC states
"It goes without saying that Judge Floro’s appointment as RTC judge is fait accompli. What awaits us now is the seemingly overwhelming task of finding the PROPER, JUST AND EQUITABLE solution to Judge Floro’s almost seven years of suspension in the light of the fact that the penalty imposed herein does not merit a suspension of seven years."
The Philippine Supreme Court tried to do the just and equitable thing, and judging by Judge Floro's actions after his relief, I say the Philippine Supreme court succeeded.

Luis, Armand and Angel

It is fitting that my 100th post is on the subject of bizarre lawyers (I freely confess to being one of that species). However, I don’t think I’m quite as odd as the people mentioned in this article. At least, I hope not.

Supernatural suing
I was talking to a friend, and we both feel a bit sick of all the political jockeying in the news at the moment. So, let’s look at some different news.
1. Luis, Armand and Angel
I wrote a post about bizarre lawyers last year. One was Philipino judge Florentino V. Flores Jr, a trial judge who believed he was assisted by three elves, Luis, Armand and Angel. As this article in the Wall Street Journal explains, the story doesn’t end there. Apparently, belief in elves (or "duwende") is common in the Philippines, and Mr Floro has become a cause celebre.
Apparently it’s all down to Luis, the "king of kings" and avenger elf, rather than Mr. Floro personally.

Filipino Justice Consulted 3 Dwarfs

Dismissed Filipino Judge Florentino Floro lost 3 appeals to the Philippine Supreme Court and is jobless. But he, nonetheless, remains a world celebrity. As gifted, he predicted on 1998 the 2001 downfall of former Philippine President Joseph Estrada.
Assisting him in court proceedings are his 3 invisible guides: "Angel," neutral force; "Armand," a benign influence; and "Luis," the "king of kings," the avenger. These elves, or "duwendes," helped Floro to heal patients by supernatural powers.
Floro wrote dire prophecies on the judiciary. On January, 2007, a fire destroyed the court's session hall while justices and their loved ones died or had been ill. Ergo, on July, the Court cited the dwarf judge in contempt for "ungodly reprisal."

Fired Judge Blames Elf for Court Mishaps

The Philippines Supreme Court has asked a fired judge who claims he is assisted by three elves to stop making threats of "ungodly reprisal."
The court kicked Florentino Floro Jr. off the bench largely because of his belief in the supernatural, the Wall Street Journal reports (sub. req.). A medical clinic determined that the judge was suffering from psychosis.
Since then Floro has battled to get his job back, appearing on TV and winning converts who seek his healing powers. At the same time, a series of unfortunate incidents have befallen the supreme court justices or their families, including serious illnesses and car accidents.
Floro says the person to blame for the mishaps is one of the elves, "Luis," a "king of kings" who is an avenger. He told the newspaper that the elves help him predict the future, but he has never consulted them when issuing judicial decisions.

A Veritable Bench

Opening para of the day, from a WSJ report from Manila:
As a trial-court judge, Florentino V. Floro Jr. acknowledged that he regularly sought the counsel of three elves only he could see. The Supreme Court deemed him unfit to serve and fired him last year.
Well, some people turn to God, so what’s wrong with elves?
Floro Jr, by the way, is a celebrity in the Philippines now. His elves are named Angel, Armand and Luis. No chicas?

Are imaginary friends a prima facie disqualification for a judge?

Posted on: September 18, 2007 1:39 PM, by Janet D. Stemwedel

Via Ed Cone I found one of those stories that makes me love the Wall Street Journal: "In the Philippines, Ex-Judge Consults Three Wee Friends":
As a trial-court judge, Florentino V. Floro Jr. acknowledged that he regularly sought the counsel of three elves only he could see. The Supreme Court deemed him unfit to serve and fired him last year. ...
Helping him, he says, are his three invisible companions. "Angel" is the neutral force, he says. "Armand" is a benign influence. "Luis," whom Mr. Floro describes as the "king of kings," is an avenger.
Oh my.

While it's not common in these parts for adults to claim that they're in regular contact with invisible elves, apparently, in the Philippines, an elf (or "duwende") is as plausible a critter as a vampire -- which is to say, lots of folks believe in them. Still, it would seem that it was an unusual enough thing for a trial-court judge to claim that it made judicial officials uncomfortable. That their medical clinic determined Mr. Floro suffers from psychosis can't have helped, either.
In 1999, Mr. Floro invited officials from the Supreme Court's administration unit to inspect his small courtroom. What they found unnerved them, and the Supreme Court convened a hearing to determine whether Mr. Floro should be removed from the bench.
According to Supreme Court papers, the court investigators presenting evidence at the hearing said they found Mr. Floro wearing blue robes instead of the normal black. Mr. Floro's own witnesses testified that he wore black on Fridays to "recharge his psychic powers."

The court investigators also reported that Mr. Floro began court proceedings with readings from the Book of Revelation and conducted hands-on psychic healing sessions for members of the public in his chambers during recesses. The investigators said Mr. Floro would sometimes enter a trance to write his rulings.

During the hearing, Mr. Floro revealed his contact with his elves.
As I read it, this seems to be saying that there were worries about Mr. Floro's performance prior to the revelation that Angel, Armand, and Luis were in the picture. (Who knew that blue robes would be an issue?) But it doesn't sound like this additional information about the elves counted as a positive for his competence on the bench.
Should they be counted against his competence? If Mr. Floro hadn't been performing psychic surgery on the job, reading from the Book of Revelations in the courtroom, and wearing those non-regulation blue judicial robes, would his belief in the elves be reason enough to remove him from the bench? Mr. Floro argues that it would not:
Mr. Floro says he never consulted the invisible elves over judicial decisions and the fact that he puts faith in them should make no difference to his career. "It shouldn't matter what I believe in, whether it's Jesus, Muhammad, or Luis, Armand and Angel," he says in an interview.

In other words, Mr. Floro is arguing that his faith in the elves is a personal matter, and something quite distinct from his job performance as a trial judge. In the case that he really was making his rulings on the basis of sound principles of jurisprudence, would it be possible to count his elfin inclinations as idiosyncratic but irrelevant?

Or is the belief in elves necessarily a sign of a state of mind incompatible with sound judicial reasoning in the real world we all share?*
In March 2006, after lengthy delays, the Supreme Court finally dismissed Mr. Floro from the court service, largely because of his belief in the supernatural. Even though Mr. Floro says the elves played no part in his judicial decisions, the Supreme Court justices said his broad faith in mysticism and supernatural phenomena had affected his work. "Lest we be misconstrued, we do not denigrate such a belief system," Associate Justice Minita Chico-Nazario wrote in the Supreme Court's verdict. "However, such beliefs, especially since Judge Floro acted on them, are at odds with the critical and impartial thinking required of a judge under our judicial system."
If I'm reading this right, the Supreme Court's verdict seems to indicate that Mr. Floro was acting on his belief in the three invisible elves in the course of his duties as a trial judge. Does this mean that they weren't influencing his rulings but, say, he acknowledged their presence in the courtroom? (I'm guessing that might wig out defendants.) Surely, there are more components of the job performance of a trial judge than the authorities he consults when writing his decisions.
But if Mr. Floro had better compartmentalized his work life and his personal life, would we (or the Supreme Court of the Philippines) be OK with his continued service as a trial judge?

It strikes me that there's a tension here not unlike that in the Marcus Ross case. On the one hand, our confidence in a particular methodology for decision making (whether scientific or judicial) makes us inclined to say that deploying that methodology will get us reasonably objective and impartial results that have relatively little to do with the details of which particular people are using that method. On the other hand, there are some beliefs that strike us as pretty likely to compromise objectivity and impartiality.

It would be nice to have some empirical data on how compatible elf-belief is with competent exercise of jurisprudence, or of the scientific method. As well, getting some independent confirmation of Mr. Floro's psychosis (to make sure there were other indicators besides elf-belief) would be useful. Otherwise, our inclination to take elf-belief as a disqualification from being a judge (or a scientist) looks like an attractive hypothesis without a whole lot of support.
_____
*I suspect some folks would want to make an appeal to community standards here (where Mr. Floro lives in a community in which his belief in the elves is not so outrageous), and others will respond that judges and others with significant authority in society must rise above community standards and try to latch onto something more truth-like. I see the intuitive appeal of each of these positions.

It was clearly an elf and safety matter.

I don't think there's any way you can defend a standard whereby believing in and consulting with elves is "necessarily a sign of a state of mind incompatible with sound judicial reasoning in the real world we all share", but believing in and consulting with God isn't.
The psychosis thing, though. That probably should be considered a showstopper.

That hot dog stand would of course be Top Dog, the libertarian hot dog vendor.
If the judge really does compartmentalize the elf beliefs, then I'd be inclined to say that they shouldn't disqualify him. I would guess that a very large proportion of people who are in such positions have some set of beliefs or other that are equally ludicrous, and we don't want to disqualify all of them. Of course, we'd want very good evidence that the beliefs really are compartmentalized once we find out about them.

I observed, as did an attorney with which I was associated, a Superior Court Judge in California state on the record that he refused to read a 100+ page document in the day's hearing "because it was filed yesterday."
The fact was, according to the document itself and the clerk's date stamp, that it was filed 9 days earlier, not "yesterday."
Plaintiff filed a Motion for Reconsideration, and paid the attorney to appear again on the same matter.
"Your honor," began the attorney in the Motion to Reconsider, "The Court believed..."
The Judge interrupted. "I believed?"
"You are the Court.." continued the attorney, and was cut off again.
"There being no new facts, this motion for reconsideration is denied," said the Judge. And he banged his gavel, ending the hearing.
In the Minute Order, this was described as" Counsel argue. There being no new facts, this motion for reconsideration was denied."
I asked a clerk in another department. "Does Judge Xxxxxx sometimes not know what day it is?"
The clerk rolled her eyes. "I'm pretty new here, but even I know about him. Poor man."
Is this better or worse than belief in elves?
The tragic irony is that this was a lawsuit about Legal Malpractice, where Plaintiff's attorney was fairly good, until more and more frequent lapses of memory.
On my suggestion, Plaintiff filed another Motion for Reconsideration, deeming the old, un-read document, to constitute New Information, the Court not having considered it before. Plaintiff also explicitly pointed out the appearance of bias, where it seemed that a judge with memory or cognitive problems was in abuse of discretion to protect a defendant with memory or cognitive problems -- who just happened to have gone to the same law school. "I would prefer to deral with this here," wrote Plaintiff, "but if this motion is denied, I will have no choice but to take this matter before the Appellate Court for more public analysis."
The case is now in Appellate Court.
I've read about more egregious Judge misbehavior, but this is what I SAW with my own eyes, so I give it greater weight of evidence.
Again, Is this better or worse than belief in elves?

My wording wasn't clear enough -- elves are as plausible in the Philippines as vampires are in the Philippines, and apparently there are a fair number of vampire reports in the Philippines.
Possibly, though, the effect of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and the declining status of the Keebler elves and Snap, Crackle, and Pop) is such that more Americans believe in vampires than elves.

Can't Make This Stuff Up: Law Edition

Former Philippines trial court judge Florentino v. Floro Jr. was fired from his seat on the bench last year after acknowledging that he regularly sought the counsel of three elves only he could see. You might have thought that would have ended his judicial career for good, but Floro is fighting back, waging a campaign to return to the bench. And advising him along the way, he says, are those same three elves. The Wall Street Journal has the full story.
Meanwhile, far from the Philippines, a Nebraska state senator has filed a lawsuit against God, accusing the deity of causing untold death and horror. According to Associated Press, Sen. Ernie Chambers filed the suit to make a point: that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody. As for Nebraska's jurisdiction over God, Chambers notes that God clearly has sufficient contacts with the state given that the Almighty is everywhere.

Finally, in Indiana, prosecutors are investigating whether a convicted forger tried to stay out of prison by forging her own obituary. Just before the woman was to be sentenced, the local newspaper published the phony obituary reporting her death and cremation. Someone faxed a copy to the sentencing judge, to no avail. Authorities found the woman at her home, very much alive, and the judge sentenced her to four years in prison. She said she had no idea who placed the obituary. Associated Press has the story.

Elves and God in Court

Two courts in different parts of the world are involved in situations involving entities who are difficult to verify the presence of. The Wall Street Journal reports on the Supreme Court in the Philippines had to rule on whether a judge who consults with three elves is competent:
As a trial-court judge, Florentino V. Floro Jr. acknowledged that he regularly sought the counsel of three elves only he could see. The Supreme Court deemed him unfit to serve and fired him last year…
Helping him, he says, are his three invisible companions. "Angel" is the neutral force, he says. "Armand" is a benign influence. "Luis," whom Mr. Floro describes as the "king of kings," is an avenger.
While he may have lost his position on the court, it sounds like he’s become a cult hero and television celebrity. There’s no word as to whether Floro has an exclusive source for cookies baked in ovens inside a hollow tree.

The rarest of coconuts

Across Difficult Country's legal counsel Judge Florentino Floro Jr. is in the news again, this time on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

As readers surely remember, Judge Floro was declared psychotic and removed from the bench for being in psychic contact with three invisible "mystic dwarves" 1 named Armand, Luis and Angel. Angel, Judge Floro tells the Wall Street Journal, "is the neutral force", Armand "is a benign influence", and Luis,"whom Mr. Floro describes as the "king of kings," is an avenger."

Now the Supreme Court which fired him is persecuting him again, issuing an "en banc resolution asking Mr. Floro to desist in his threats of 'ungodly reprisal.'"

While not stating explicitly, the Court appears to be blaming Judge Floro for a series of unfortunate events, including a "mysterious" fire which "destroyed the Supreme Court's crest in its session hall", and a string of accidents and illnesses numerous members of the court and their family members have recently suffered from.

It escapes me how Judge Floro could possibly cause these things to happen. It’s true the judge is a man of many talents, including the power to heal, but he’s not a warlock. To have the same people who declared the debonair Judge Floro mentally unstable merely because a few of his friends were invisible now essentially accuse him of casting spells on them is not only slanderous but also hypocrisy of the grossest sort.

The judge himself thinks the plague of misfortune is the handiwork of Luis. Given what we know about Luis that seems the most plausible explanation.

1The author of the WSJ article repeatedly refers to the beings, which Filipinos call dwendes, as elves. This is incorrect. For one thing elves don’t live in the tropics. For more, see one man’s story about his grandmother and the dwende, illustrated with a picture of naked ladies.

Dwende

My grandmother believed in dwende. Not Lorca's variation, but more of the Tolkien genus (our dwende are a sort of cross between Tolkien's dwerrows - or dwarves as most people misname them - and hobbits). She told me that alot of people made the mistake of thinking that dwende lived in earth mounds or punso. "No," she said. "How could people live in such small things? Its unrealistic and stupid." I go, riiiiiiiiight. We're talking about creatures no more than 2 feet tall, caucasoid with flowing white beards and pointy hats, and gramma wants to be realistic. However, seeing as how I was only a little over 5 years old at the time, I kept quiet. So she continued with her explanation.

Dwende, she said used earth mounds only as gateways to their cities which were underground. These cities were supposed to have been above ground a long time ago, but the movements of the earth eventually subsided them to where they are now; and they've been their for a little less than a million years. This, according to my gramma, was why many people still see dwende
above ground: they miss the sky.

Dwende cities do not have a sky, as you might imagine. Instead they have very high ceilings of intertwined plant roots, including tree roots and grass roots. These ceilings were painstakingly grown on by the dwende starting from when they learned that their cities were slowly sinking. It took each city a thousand years to grow their ceilings, my gramma said, explaining why dwende hated people who destroyed trees and why we had to always say "tabi tabi po" - a kind of warning combined with a plea for forgiveness for the intrusion - before we stomped around gardens or pulled up particularly ancient looking clumps of weed.

Being an aspiring archaeologist at that age, I looked at her askance. If there are dwende cities underground, why haven't they been dug up yet? I demanded to know. She smiled at me and patiently explained a little more.

No one has ever dug that deep, she said. Dwende ceilings begin about half a mile under the surface, and the tops of the highest buildings in the dwende cities are about another mile farther down. "So it's hot down there because of the m-m-magma?" I said, struggling with the word but terribly proud to show off that I knew how to use it in a sentence.

"It would be," she said, "but before you get to the magma (big smile at me to show that she noticed my use of the word) there are many big rivers buried deep in the rock."As my gramma explained it, the water of these rivers came from sinkholes near the north and south poles, starting their journey under the earth as chunks of ice. As the ice from the north flowed down to the south pole and vice-versa, the ice melted, taking most of the magma's heat. Not all of it, though, so the dwende cities had warmer climates.

Did they have a sun? I asked. My gramma shook her head firmly: no. That's ridiculous, she said. The dwende didn't have a sun, but the tree-root ceiling has many plants and animals that give off light light fireflies. I nodded sagely. I had discovered fireflies just the night before, so I understood what she was talking about. Animals - and plants - like fireflies, she said, followed a biological clock that told them when to switch their lights on and off. So imagine a million million million of these animals, she told me, all slowly turning their lights on and just as slowly turning their lights off, with some forgetting to do it when everything else has gone dark. That, she said, is biological night and day.

I pestered her for more details, but she said she was tired and that she would continue explaining things to me in the morning. I went to bed that night wondering if I wasn't in some underground city, watching stars that were really just lit up mushrooms and bugs. It made me feel real small and - even at that young age - helped me understand perspective.

Psychic judge ordered to stop bothering the Supreme Court in the
Philippines

This guy would make a fine candidate for Dubya's Supreme Court, and the good news is that he's available now that he's been sacked for good in the Philippines. Meet (former) Judge Florentino Floro, Jr.:
UNDAUNTED by his threats of "ungodly reprisals," Supreme Court (SC) magistrates on Wednesday ordered a dismissed Malabon judge to stop badgering them with phone calls and pleadings seeking a review of his case.

...
The SC said Floro failed to present convincing arguments and substantial evidence to warrant a modification or reversal of its March 31, 2006 decision that ordered his relief as judge of Branch 73 of the Malabon Regional Trial Court (RTC) due to a "medically disabling condition of the mind that renders him unfit to discharge the functions of his office."
...
In the assailed decision of the SC, penned by Associate Justice Minita Chico-Nazario, Floro was separated from service due to his "delusional" tendencies, citing his admissions in several occasions that he decides his case with the guidance of his three dwarf friends whom he named Armand, Luis and Angel.
As a matter of equity, the Court resolved to award Floro back salaries, allowances and other economic benefits corresponding to three year.
...
Floro was sued by the Office of the Court Administrator which investigated about 13 administrative cases lodged against him by his own judicial staff. The SC found him guilty of seven out of 13 administrative charges and ordered him to pay the amount of P40,000 as penalty.
In a motion for reconsideration, in which pages of stories about himself were interspersed, Floro alleged that the six government doctors who examined him counterfeited his intelligence quotient and wrongfully declared him as mentally impaired.
He asked that an impartial panel of doctors who are experts who are likewise gifted to assess his psychic powers should be commissioned to examine him to determine his true mental state.
The beleaguered judge said that the amended Rule 140 in the Rules of Court never included weirdness, healing, psychic phenomena and the like as grounds for discipline.
"Insanity is, but respondent has never been declared insane," he said, noting that his gift "dwell in the realm of both religious and religious belief, free exercise and expression or parapsychology, and beyond the four corners of medicine, psychiatry and psychology."
Floro - who has repeatedly cited in his motion that was the brightest in his class and graduated with honors from Ateneo de Manila and even landed 12th in the 1983 Bar exams - said the SC should not allow itself to be dictated upon by in a proceeding to remove judges based on the medical incapacity of doctors, whose claims are mere hearsay evidence and thus inadmissible.
Dr. Celeste Vista in her report to the SC cited that despite Floros impressive educational background, there is "impairment in reality testing which is an indicator of a psychotic process, such that, cultural beliefs in dwarfs, psychic and paranormal phenomena and divine gifts of healing have become incorporated in a delusional system, that it has interfered and tainted his occupational and social functioning."
But Floro said he said he could not be held liable for Vista's emotional incapability to accept his "gift" with empirical certainty.
Among the "phenomena" that he supposedly predicted were the failure of former President Joseph Estrada to finish his term, the 2001 terrorist attack at the World Trade Center in the US and the July 2001 fire that gutted the Malabon Hall of Justice, except his own sala, which he predicted on July 18, 1999.
He also mentioned his ability to inflict pain via energy transfer or to prevent forthcoming pains on a specific person during Fridays, on the condition that the person should alter his ways, lest they be punished, and his ability to see his little friends."

Censor and Censorship

I subscribe to the theory that those who call the loudest for censorship are usually hiding the most. Confirmation came recently when the British parliament declassified the proposed "talking points" intended to justify the government’s attempt to stop Penguin Books from publishing the unabridged "Lady Chatterley’s Lover", in 1960. D.H. Laurence had written the book in 1928 but because it used "that word" (the word was ****), and because it was about a working class lad "****" an upper class lady, it offended a lot of people who thought they should determine what obscene. In his closing the prosecutor asked the jury if this was the kind of book they wanted their "wives and servants" to read. There hours later the jury delivered their verdict, the equivalent of, "****, yeah. Why not?"
*
And if an established faith won’t sell you the uncensored truth you can always invent your own, as did Manila Judge Florentino Floro. The judge opened his court each day with a reading from the Book of Revelation. Every Friday he changed from his black robes to blue ones, because they recharged his psychic powers with which he could foretell the future, heal or inflict pain upon others, and transform himself into the Angel of Death. Florentino knew this was all true because he and his loyal sidekicks, three invisible dwarfs named Armand, Luis and Angel, had a covenant together. He told a superior court that "From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal." Immortal, perhaps, but Florentino is no longer a judge. The higher court deemed him unable to carry out his duties because of "mental unfitness."

Florentino V. Floro Jr. is was a trial judge in Manila, Philippines. Things were going fine for Florentino until he saw fit to inform the public that he has three tiny little friends - elves that only he can see and hear.
When elves take the law into their own hands...

After being fired, Floro latched on to the gullibility of an already superstitious public, became a media celebrity and has now vowed to exact revenge on the Supreme Court, using the talents of his invisible buds:

"It shouldn't matter what I believe in, whether it's Jesus, Muhammad, or Luis, Armand and Angel"

Angel, Armand and Luis are the elves' names, in case you're interested. Floro calls Luis "the king of kings". Plenty of people are lining up and defending Floro, saying that his beliefs should be just as valid as those who pray to Jesus for help. I agree with that, but I think that I would go a bit further and say that if a judge talks to someone who isn't there, whether he has pointy ears or wears sandals, perhaps he's really more suited to be a weird, vengeful media personality than to help decide the fate of the accused.

Just sayin'.

A.M. No. 2006-24-SC. November 14, 2006

JUDGE FLORENTINO V. FLORO, JR. v. MRS. MARILYN PUNO SANTIAGO AND JASMIN MATEO

En Banc
Sirs/Mesdames:
Quoted hereunder, for your information, is a resolution of this Court dated NOV. 14, 2006.
A.M. No. 2006-24-SC (Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. v. Mrs. Marilyn Puno Santiago and Jasmin Mateo)

x -------------------------------------------------------------------------- x

For consideration are the Verified Complaint/Letter-Affidavit dated August 25, 2006 and Verified Another/Supplemental Complaint/Letter-Affidavit (sic) dated September 1, 2006 filed by former Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. against two court personnel from the Office of Senior Associate Justice Reynato S. Puno of this Court.
While this Court, in cases of this nature, would normally have proceeded to a statement of relevant facts and allegations, it bears noting early on that the complaint is couched in such obscure language as to render that task very difficult, if not impossible.
Parenthetically, it may be recalled that, earlier this year, this Court, in Office of the Court Administrator v. Floro,[1] relieved herein complainant of his duties as a trial judge. Cited among the grounds for his relief were complainant's unusual beliefs which were "at odds with the critical and impartial thinking required of a judge under our judicial system." Thus, this Court noted:
Moreover, Judge Floro himself admitted that he believes in "psychic visions," of foreseeing the future because of his power in "psychic phenomenon." He believes in "duwendes" and of a covenant with his "dwarf friends Luis, Armand and Angel." He believes that he can write while on trance and that he had been seen by several people to have been in two places at the same time. . . .[2] (Emphasis supplied)
Regrettably, the complaint displays vagueness of expression and want of logical thought that it may be described as bearing a trance-like character. Consider, inter alia, the following statement in the complaint:
"Respondents Jasmin Mateo's and Marilyn Puno Santiago's formidable Lust for Power and Glory --- brought them not to the Land of Fantasy, not to Never Land, not to the Island of the Fairies, but to the Enchanted Kingdom of the 3 Mystic and Healing Dwarves --- They would try anything just to . . . They wanted to look inside the CRYSTAL BALL of Luis Armand and Angel[.]"[3] (Underscoring, emphasis, and ellipsis in the original)
The surreal frame in which the complaint was crafted is heightened by the several pictures, printed in full color, interspersed therein, none of which contributes to clearing the obscurity. In one page of the complaint, for instance, there are three pictures: two appear to be logos or seals bearing the Latin word "veritas," while the other seems to be a cover of a foreign religious comic book bearing the title "Veritas".[4] While they almost fill up an entire page, the pictures appear to have no relevance other than complainant's mention of the word "veritas" somewhere in the complaint.
Add to these pictures of clouds and flowers, icons of Mary and St. Peter, pictures of Mahatma Gandhi, Edu Manzano and Justice Sabino de Leon, the logo of a restaurant, a cartoon character, etc., and one would look at the complaint as more reminiscent of a dream-like stream of consciousness than a seriously drafted pleading for the Supreme Court, or any court of justice for that matter.
To consider the complaint any further would only waste precious time which this Court can more fruitfully devote to cases of significance and more pressing urgency.
The complaint must thus be dismissed outright.
WHEREFORE, the Verified Complaint/Letter-Affidavit dated August 25, 2006 and Verified Another/Supplemental Complaint/Letter-Affidavit dated September 1, 2006 are DISMISSED.

Puno, J., no part.
Very truly yours,
(Sgd.) MA. LUISA D. VILLARAMA

The Elven Supremacy

Florentino Floro Jr. used to be a judge down in the Philippines. But not anymore, because it seems that the country’s Supreme Court was a bit tired of Floro being, uhm, crazy. Specifically, a medical clinic tested Floro and determined that he was actually suffering from psychosis, which explains this whole elf thing.

Floro has been on a campaign to get his job back, claiming that he has magical healing powers and that he will take “ungodly reprisal” against the Philippine Supremes if they don’t let him back. The Supremes have asked him to kindly stop making these threats, as they’re not amused by any of this. They’re particularly not amused by the fact that, get this, “a series of unfortunate incidents have befallen the supreme court justices or their families, including serious illnesses and car accidents.”

Floro refuses to man up and take full credit for these incidents however, instead blaming three elves, including “Luis,” who’s an avenging elf. Floro says that Luis and the other two help him predict the future, and they’re the ones responsible for whatever mishaps have befallen the country’s Supremes.

Oh, and just to clear the air, Roco says “he has never consulted [the elves] when issuing judicial decisions.” Cause that would be crazy.

Arinday: Self-cherishing, psychosis & other oddities
By G.H. Arinday, Jr.
Sunfare

N LIFE, we encounter a lot of oddities and beg for the sublime task to render the same into linguistic idioms.

If we say that he is an “odd man out,” the interpretation is as varied as the hues of the rainbow jealously misted by the dark nimbus cloud.

Can you recall of a former regional trial court judge in Bulacan who was eased out of his office because he was said to be suffering from psychosis according to Supreme Court magistrates?

Well, former RTC judge Florentino V. Floro Jr., who confessed cavorting with his three elfin friends (Luis, the “neutral force; Armand, a “benign influence”; and Angel, as the “king of kings” and as an “avenger” in the penning of his decisions), has become a sort of an international media celebrity.

No less than “The Wall Street Journal,” in its September 17, 2007 issue and bylined by James Hookway, featured the dismissed judge who claimed in an interview that: “It shouldn’t matter what I believed in, whether it’s Jesus, Muhammad, or Luis, Armand, and Angel.”

What the former judge said is equivalent to “self-cherishing” as the fundamental concept of the Buddhist’s philosophy on “how to enhance cherishing love.”

In writing the verdict dismissing the judge, considering him as suffering from psychosis largely because of his belief in the supernatural, Associate Justice Minita Chico-Nazario said he has “his broad faith in mysticism and supernatural phenomena.”

“Lest we be misconstrued, we do not denigrate such a belief system...However, such beliefs, especially since Judge Floro acted on them, are at odds with the critical and impartial thinking required of a judge under our judicial system.”

It is not the first time that former Judge Floro attracted those engaged in human interest stories. He has been featured in English newspapers, international or regional, before “The Wall Street Journal” gave him some kind of prominence.

The world of mystics has intrigued me a lot like the paranormal analysis of psychic Jaime Lichauco and the so-called “supernatural” and extra-sensory perceptions.

Accordingly, “there is no accepted explanation of mysticism and few psychologists have interested themselves in its practice,” says The Columbia Encyclopedia.

Philosophers William James gave up after failing finding the answer. On the other hand, Henri Bergson made a significant philosophical evaluation.
Bergson, whose psychological or philosophical lectures were attended by “fashionable ladies” of his time surpassing that of Thomas Carlyle’s thought of mysticism as “subjective meditation” or a “vitalist philosophy” akin to romanticism.

The notion of Bergson’s philosophy is the strands of continuity in probing deeper into the mysteries of life like the growth of the folk-soul or beliefs on something outside of empiricism.

But former Judge Floro’s venture into the supernatural is overshadowed by the lawsuit filed by self-proclaimed agnostics of Nebraska, Senator Ernie Chambers of Omaha, seeking a permanent injunction against God as reported by foreign news agencies.

And lo, behold, the injunction suit was answered by “God” who was charged with “human oppression and suffering misses an important matter.”

As it was written, the answer was “signed by God,” citing St. Michael the Archangel as a witness,” and “God” was quoted that “I created man and woman with free will and next to the promise of immortal life, free will is my greatest gift to you.”

Ho-hum! Such strange things are component of life’s existence. How would we treat the Nebraskan state senator? Consign him to limbo? But the place is exclusively for those “under probation” or inmates in the purgatory.

Definitely, we cannot classify him on the same level with former Judge Floro, the latter being a firm believer in mystical matters, but Chambers is a class by himself.

Court Elves....

....are they anything like the house elves found in the Harry Potter series?

Instead of law clerks, for instance, a Philippine trial court judge sought counsel from "three elves only he could see" in, I assume, rendering his legal decisions. Who knows if Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr., used the elves for guidance in other aspects of his life.

We Get By with a Little Help from Our Friends

A Filipino judge, unconscionably fired from his bench for hiring invisible (at least to the less perceptive among us) elves as court clerks, wants his job back. Florentino Floro Jr. says that if he is re-elevated to the bench (judges must be elevated to the bench because it's a few steps up) he'll call off the king of the elves, who's turned hit man, inflicting illness and car accidents on Floro's former bosses, the Supreme Court.

Floro says the elves only help him predict the future on his personal time, and never used them to help him make judicial decisions. Of course not: that would be unethical.

Wall Street Journal Loosens Collar, Covers Paranormal

Thought the Wall Street Journal was square, unhip and afraid to take on any stories that reek of high weirdness? Uhm... no.

Maybe it's a creeping low-grade Rupertification over at the WSJ, but they recently did a piece on a Filipino judge who believes in elves:

As a trial-court judge, Florentino V. Floro Jr. acknowledged that he regularly sought the counsel of three elves only he could see. The Supreme Court deemed him unfit to serve and fired him last year. [...] Helping him, he says, are his three invisible companions. "Angel" is the neutral force, he says. "Armand" is a benign influence. "Luis," whom Mr. Floro describes as the "king of kings," is an avenger.

It's kind of great that with the Weekly World News gone, we can depend on the Wall Street Journal for our weird fix. Viva!

'Dwarves of Law' update

Last year, we brought you an interview with Florentino Floro Jr. - the Filipino ex-Judge who apparently has healing powers and is counselled by a trio of mystical dwarves. The Wall Street Journal has an update on Floro's attempts to be re-instated as a Supreme Court Judge and also how he has become a celebrity in the Phillipines, regularly appearing on TV chat shows. It also states that there have been a number of odd incidents since Floro's removal from the Court system:

[...] a series of disturbing incidents appear to have the
nation's top jurists rattled. According to local newspaper reports, a
mysterious fire in January destroyed the Supreme Court's crest in its
session hall, and a number of members of the court and their close
family members have developed serious illnesses or have fallen victim
to car accidents.

Enough bizarre things have happened that in July, the
Supreme Court issued an en banc resolution asking Mr. Floro to desist
in his threats of "ungodly reprisal." The Supreme Court's spokesman
declined to elaborate.

Mr. Floro says he is not suffering from psychosis, and
that he's not to blame for the incidents. He points the finger squarely
at "king of kings" elf Luis, who Mr. Floro says is bent on cleaning up
what he says is the Philippines' corrupt legal system

Iceland Still Believes in Elves and Ghosts

According to a recent study on superstition in Iceland supervised by Terry Gunnell, associate folklore professor at the University of Iceland, a significant portion of participants would not rule out the existence of elves and ghosts.

The results of the study were similar to those of a study conducted in 1974 by Professor Erlendur Haraldsson, Fréttabladid reports.

“Icelanders seem much more open to phenomena like dreaming the future, forebodings, ghosts and elves than other nations,” Gunnell said.

Only 13 percent of participants in the study said it is impossible that elves exist, 19 percent found it unlikely, 37 percent said elves possibly exist, 17 percent found their existence likely and eight percent definite. Five percent did not have an opinion on the existence of elves.

More admitted to believing in ghosts. Only seven percent said their existence was impossible, 16 percent unlikely, 41 percent possible, 18 percent likely and 13 percent definite. Four percent had no opinion on the existence of ghosts.

Gunnell was surprised by the results because the Icelandic society has changed considerably since 1974 when Haraldsson revealed that more Icelanders believed in supernatural phenomena than other nations.

“Many factors could have affected these numbers,” Gunnell said. “A growing belief in haunting can be traced back to Hollywood movies. The city and its houses are also growing older and the countryside is becoming more mysterious.”

The study was undertaken in 2006 and 2007 by the University of Iceland’s Faculty of Social Sciences and supported by the university’s Research Fund. About 1,000 people participated in the questionnaires.

The results have not been fully assessed yet and interviews with some of the participants are scheduled in the near future. The final results of the study will be introduced in December.

Mental Elf.Issues.

There are certainly problems with this Judge from the Philippines:

As a trial-court judge, Florentino V. Floro Jr. acknowledged that he regularly sought the counsel of three elves only he could see. The Supreme Court deemed him unfit to serve and fired him last year.

But honestly can he really be any kookier than those we already have? In fact one of his Elves, Luis appears to have a sounder grip on reality than most British criminologists:

Helping him, he says, are his three invisible companions. "Angel" is the neutral force, he says. "Armand" is a benign influence. "Luis," whom Mr. Floro describes as the "king of kings," is an avenger.

.....

According to local newspaper reports, a mysterious fire in January destroyed the Supreme Court's crest in its session hall, and a number of members of the court and their close family members have developed serious illnesses or have fallen victim to car accidents.

Enough bizarre things have happened that in July, the Supreme Court issued an en banc resolution asking Mr. Floro to desist in his threats of "ungodly reprisal." The Supreme Court's spokesman declined to elaborate.

Mr. Floro says he is not suffering from psychosis, and that he's not to blame for the incidents. He points the finger squarely at "king of kings" elf Luis, who Mr. Floro says is bent on cleaning up what he says is the Philippines' corrupt legal system.

In other Elf related news only 13% of Icelanders rule out the possibility of the existence of Elves. I suppose if Bjork is your national icon it's understandable I guess.

Fired Judge Blames Elf for Court Mishaps

Posted by brexwfoldingham on September 24th, 2007

http://www.abajournal.com/news/fired_judge_blames_elf_for_court_mishaps

Complete story:

The Philippines Supreme Court has asked a fired judge who claims he is assisted by three elves to stop making threats of “ungodly reprisal.”

The court kicked Florentino Floro Jr. off the bench largely because of his belief in the supernatural, the Wall Street Journal reports (sub. req.). A medical clinic determined that the judge was suffering from psychosis.

Since then Floro has battled to get his job back, appearing on TV and winning converts who seek his healing powers. At the same time, a series of unfortunate incidents have befallen the supreme court justices or their families, including serious illnesses and car accidents.

Floro says the person to blame for the mishaps is one of the elves, “Luis,” a “king of kings” who is an avenger. He told the newspaper that the elves help him predict the future, but he has never consulted them when issuing judicial decisions.

The Supreme Court has not reversed any of Floro’s decisions since firing him.

The Supreme Court LOGO cut into equal HALVES Channel 7 24 Oras/Saksi and Channel 2 TV Patrol/Bandila vividly videoed the (almost stampede) rushing of all staffs, employees and 14 Supreme Court Justices from the 7th Floor to the ground floor towards the park area, screaming, shouting and utterly nervous; Channel 7 Saksi focused on Supreme Court Justice Minita Viray-Chico Nazario, ponente of Judge Floro’s April 7 psychosis decision, beside the trembling Justice Consuelo Ynares-Santiago, while the firemen were destroying the highest glass windows of the new Supreme Court Building. Philippine Star Metro page 18 news, showed the pics of the Supreme Court LOGO cut into equal HALVES, thereby depicting the New Testament’s landmark moment of Christ’s 3 p.m. death on the cross resulting to the breaking of the ark of the covenant’s or 2 Moses 10 commandments’ breaking or splitting to HALVES, also.

Prologue:

About 2:30 p.m., January 16/Tuesday, 2006, INFO was received that a) Chief Security or Maintenance Officer and b) an officer of a Supreme Court Justice (instructed by the Justice) plus 2-3 employees – marched as early birds to approach the Oracle of Delphi beside the Gods of Faura’s Court to listen to the ASTRAL clairvoyant, specifically to DETERMINE if the mystic DWARVES caused the mind-boggling IGNITION or sparking of lights that pierced the most important landmark of the Court, SUPREME COURT LOGO into equal HALVES. Judge Floro filed at around 2:00 p.m. his ONE-PAGE 4th Appeal for Reinstatement based on the mystic FIRE. Surprisingly, 2 well-instructed supreme court security guards booked and questioned Judge Floro for interrogation and questioning (LIGHT MOMENTS only). Candidly, Judge Floro replied that he never predicted the FIRE since it was the long-delayed 2001 birthday-gift of LUIS (for Judge Floro’s November 5, 2002 birthday, at that time; since Judge Floro asked LUIS to block the Investigator (Ret.) Justice Pedro Ramirez’s hear vessels at a hearing; and his brother Robert said that LUIS would timely cause J. Ramirez’s heart attack which did happen on September, 2002, when he was rushed almost dead at St. Luke’s hospital; ROBERT FLORO, the ward of LUIS, Armand and Angel, PREDICTED and said that LUIS’ gift to Judge Floro is that LUIS WILL BURN THE SUPREME COURT MAIN BUILDING, SESSION HALL, but Judge Floro pleaded for modification to spare Judge Floro’s records, as LUIS burned all of RTC Malabon except Judge Floro’s sala in his 1st anniversary of suspension on July 22, 2000). The 2 supreme court guards repeatedly said that Judge Floro repeatedly told them that the 3 dwarves will take VENDETTA by burning (“susunugin”) the Supreme Court.

BREAKING NEWS - METRO SC fire probed but hearings go on -- court official

http://services.inquirer.net/express/07/01/16/html_output/xmlhtml/20070116-43750-xml.html

January 16, 2007, Updated 15:35:52 (Mla time), Tetch Torres, INQUIRER.net A TEAM from the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) has inspected the damage that was caused by a fire inside the Supreme Court's session hall on Monday, a representative from the Office of the Chief Justice said Tuesday. Midas Marquez said the team would be drafting an evaluation report before reconstruction could start. "We have to wait for the GSIS evaluation report before proceeding with the plans of rehabilitating the session hall," Marquez said. Funds from the rehabilitation will come from GSIS funds -- being the high court's insurer. This is the first time that the high court's session hall had caught fire. A few years back, the Department of Justice (DoJ) had also caught fire, and was prevented from spreading to the Supreme Court. Marquez could not give an immediate estimate of the damage. "But I don't think it’s much because it’s only water damage and only one curtain caught fire," he said. The fire however failed to disrupt court activities, with the justices holding their first en banc session for this year at their lounge on the seventh floor."The en banc room is intact but it's still wet so they temporarily moved to the 7th floor," Marquez said. Meanwhile, oral arguments on a land dispute in Quezon City on January 30 will push through and will be held at the high court's session hall at its old building along Taft Avenue in Manila, said Marquez.

Fire hits SC session hall

http://www.mb.com.ph/MTNN2007011684723.html

A fire hit the Supreme Court (SC) session hall in Ermita, Manila yesterday. Initial reports from the Manila Fire Department showed that the blaze started at 4 p.m. inside the session hall. Nobody was reported hurt by the fire, which damaged the facility. Supt. Pablito Cordeta, MFD Fire Marshal, said that the fire was due to faulty electrical wiring in the ceiling of the session hall. He said a spark ignited a flame which quickly spread towards the ceiling and walls and curtains of the session hall. Cordeta said that the fire was put out at 4:40 p.m. by 15 firetrucks. A portion of Padre Faura St. in Ermita was closed to traffic for responding firetrucks. Cordeta said that despite the damage it sustained, the session hall could still be repaired and restored. Arson probers are now conducting mopping-up operations. (Rizal S. Obanil)

Brief fire damages Supreme Court

http://www.philstar.com/philstar/NEWS200701166302.htm

By Evelyn Macairan, The Philippine Star 01/16/2007

Faulty electrical wiring sparked a one-hour fire at the Supreme Court that partly damaged the session hall and tied up traffic along Padre Faura Street and Taft Avenue in Manila yesterday. Superintendent Pablito Cordeta, Manila Fire Department marshal, said the fire started around 3:52 p.m. at the newly refurbished session hall, located on the second floor. Chief Justice Reynato Puno said he was in a meeting in the building when the fire began. "I was in a meeting in the en banc conference room when I saw smoke coming out from the flooring. Immediately we went out of the room and that’s when the alarm went off," he told reporters. Cordeta said it was fortunate that the fire occurred during office hours and not in the evening when the building was empty with no one to notice the blaze. Puno assured that records of court cases were safe.

Fire strikes Supreme Court’s main building

http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=police3_jan16_2007

A fire hit the Supreme Court building on Padre Faura Street in Manila at 4:20 p.m. yesterday. Manila Fire Marshal Senior Supt. Pablito Cordeta said the blaze, which was caused by an electrical malfunction, reached the second alarm before it was declared out at 4:40 pm. He said no records were damaged during the incident. “It was an electrical short circuit that sparked the fire,” he told reporters, noting the presence of highly combustible curtains. At least six fire trucks rushed to the site. According to him, the fire gutted the en banc session hall, with the flames reaching the ceiling and perimeter wall. This prompted the evacuation of the employees and staff of the high court justices. No casualty was reported by arson probers. “There is only minimal damage to the structures,” observed Cordeta. In an interview, Chief Justice Reynato Puno said they were in conference at the time.“It started when we were having a meeting. The smoke came from one of the conference rooms,” said Puno, who was presiding over the briefing by the Office of the Court Administrator. Court employees said thick smoke billowed out of the third floor of the main building. Rey E. Requejo

The 62-year-old Bersamin, a member of President Macapagal-Arroyo’s party Kabalikat ng Mamamayang Pilipino (Kampi), had just left the church on Doña Juana Rodriguez (formerly Broadway) Avenue and was walking back to his car when attacked. Justice Lucas Bersamin, the lawmaker’s younger brother, declined a TV crew’s request for comment. Bersamin’s murder came more than a month after a relative, Abra provincial board member James Bersamin, 66, was shot dead in the capital Bangued. Family members said the lawmaker had just stood as a sponsor at the marriage of his niece Pia, daughter of Justice Bersamin, to Niño Embuscado and was on his way to the reception when he was gunned down at around 5:25 p.m.“It was the recessional and everyone was going out of the church when we heard gunshots,” said Alvin Salonga, a guest at the wedding.

Prologue

Judge Floro met Judge Apolinario Bruselas, as PJA 2nd highest officer, 2004. As RTC Judge Q.C., Philippines, the latter apologized to Judge Floro per text message on Judge Romeo F. Barza’s humiliation of Judge Floro. The latter prayed for the appointment to the Court of Appeals of Judge Bruselas. When Justice Bruselas was appointed CA Justice the latter introduced Judge Floro to the most powerful CA Justice Lucas Bersamin. The agenda was for the latter to help Judge Floro find a job thru Malacanang. Judge Floro also PLEADED to Justice Lucas for the latter to intervene and convince his S.C. Justice friend then ponente C. Carpio-Morales to decide Judge Floro’s 6 years case. Surprisingly, about 3 meetings between Judge Floro and Justice Lucas Bersamin discussed instead (of job) the a) talk between him and a staff of Justice Nazario, as ponente, circa January, 2006 b) the developments of Judge Floro’s case, and the last accidental meeting was c) at the CA g/f, where Justice Bersamin hurriedly went up but signaled his thumbs up right hand to Judge Floro, saying that J. Nazario is favourable to Judge Floro; and Justice Bersamin and J. Nazario met and talked about Judge Floro’s case, and she read the internet posts of Judge Floro. After that meeting, Justice Bruselas and Judge Floro talked for about 20 minutes regarding the filing of disbarment case against C.J. Davide, and Judge Floro’s plea to Justice Bruselas for help regarding a JOB. Judge FLORO candidly informed Justice Bersamin of the IMPRECATION or curse upon the judiciary, and specifically added, is the curse upon ATENEO class 1982, where Judge Floro accurately predicted the fire roasting death of the wife and Marilou, daughter of Dep. Customs Com. Gil Valera, Abra relative of Justice Bersamin and classmate of Judge Floro.

Philippine Psychic Judge's Imprecation to the Judiciary

Psychotic’ judge enlists help of dwarf-friends vs SC

http://services.inq7.net/express/06/11/03/html_output/xmlhtml/20061103-30439-xml.html

By Tetch Torres , INQ7.net , Posted date: November 03, 2006

BEGINNING this Sunday, three dwarves will work their powers against 14 of the 15 justices of the Supreme Court, a dismissed judge has warned as he filed his third motion for reconsideration for his reinstatement before the high tribunal. Judge Florentino Floro Jr. of the Malabon regional trial court was separated from service after medical findings showed that he was suffering from psychosis. The high court had said that Judge Floro lacked the judicial temperament and the fundamental requirements of competence and objectivity expected of all judges. It said that the findings of psychosis by the mental health professionals assigned to his case indicated gross deficiency in competence and independence. In his appeal, Floro said his three dwarf-friends -- Luis, Armand, and Angel -- appeared to him last week and told him that the justices would suffer their wrath for dismissing him. Floro said the sufferings of the Supreme Court justices would start midnight of November 5, the eve of his 53rd birthday. Floro said he appealed to his dwarf-friends to spare one justice, which according to him had been put into a vote by the three. Floro did not name him. "Voting en banc with full authority, Luis voted negative, Armand conditionally positive, upon full appointment of Judge Floro to a higher or equal position by virtue of the eliminated magistrate, while Angel voted neutral," Floro said. Because the voting was a tie, Floro said Luis agreed to spare one justice if he would spread oil on any part of the justice's house before November 5. Floro said he would follow the dwarves' advice and start praying every Friday so that the curse on the justices would work. "I will devote my entire life, Fridays, until my last breath, towards the fulfillment, execution, and coming to pass of this curse. With absolute faith in Luis, Armand and Angel -- Angels of God, I will fulfill my destiny: spell and karma upon them, all their loved ones, up to the 4th generation," Floro said. Judge Floro, who was appointed RTC Judge in November 1998, has admitted to having “psychic visions,” of having the ability to predict the future because of his power in “psychic phenomenon.” He said he believed in “duwendes” [dwarves] and forged a covenant with them. He also said that he could write while in a trance and that he had been seen by several people to have been in two places at the same time. He also likened himself to the “angel of death” who could inflict pain on people, especially upon those he perceived to be corrupt officials of the Malabon RTC. During court sessions, Judge Floro wore blue robes except on Fridays when he would wear a black robe and black outfit from head to foot allegedly to recharge his psychic powers. He also conducted healing sessions inside his chambers during breaks.

SWS survey: Lawyers say judiciary more corrupt

http://news.inq7.net/breaking/index.php?index=1&story_id=25484

First posted 08:31am (Mla time) Jan 26, 2005 By Donna Pazzibugan Inquirer News Service

"MORE lawyers nowadays complain of corruption in the judicial system compared to 10 years ago, according to the Social Weather Stations. One out of two lawyers knows of a trial judge in their city or province who has taken a bribe but they did not report it because they could not prove it, said the SWS. In a briefing among lawyers Tuesday night, SWS president Mahar Mangahas said the perception of corruption in the various courts -- from the municipal trial courts all the way up to the Supreme Court -- has risen among lawyers in the last 10 years. "Our lawyers are more critical now than before," Mangahas told the lawyers as he presented the survey findings for the first time. The SWS polled 889 trial judges -- or 61 percent of all trial judges in the country -- and 400 lawyers from November 2003 to July 2004 to get their perceptions on various aspects of the judicial system.The last such survey was undertaken by SWS from 1994 to 1996. "Corruption remains a major problem," the SWS said in a press statement."As in 1995, one-fourth of present lawyers say that many or very many judges are corrupt. Although half or 49 percent say they know a case in their own city or province where a judge took a bribe, only 8 percent said they reported the bribery. The main excuse of those who kept silent is that they could not prove it," the SWS said.Among judges, only 7 percent said that many or very many judges were corrupt.The SWS said the judges' perception of the extent of corruption among court personnel was the same as in 1996."What has increased is the proportion of judges seeing many lawyers as corrupt," it said. Mangahas said the survey showed that corruption "remains a serious problem in the judicial system but it is not cultural.” "They're saying there's nothing to be done about (corruption) but it's not accepted. There's still the idealism," he said."

Sumpa ng mga duwende: SC justices mamalasin, mamamatay

"Makakaranas ng sunud-sunod na kamalasan at posible umanong mamatay isa-isa ang mga mahistrado ng Korte Suprema simula sa Linggo ng hatinggabi. Ito ang nilalaman ng pangatlong "motion for reconsideration" ni dating Malabon Regional Trial Court branch 73 Judge Florentino Floro Jr. na inihain nito na naglalayong makabalik siya sa nasabing posisyon. Sa nabanggit na mosyon ni Floro, magdaranas ng sumpa ang mga mahistrado ng Korte Suprema gayundin ang kanilang mga kamag-anak hanggang sa ika-apat na saling lahi. Ito anya ang napagkasunduan ng tatlong duwende na sina Armand, Luis at Angel na nagpakita sa kanya noong nakaraang linggo matapos na tila mag-"en banc session" ang mga ito. Inilakip ni Floro sa kanyang mosyon ang mga larawan ng tatlong duwende na tila kamukha ng komedyanteng "three stooges." Nagalit umano ang mga nasabing duwende sa hudikatura dahil sa pagtatakip ng mga ito sa katotohanan partikular na sa kanyang kaso. Magsisimula umanong matupad ang sumpa sa hatinggabi ng Nobyembre 5 kasabay ng ika-53 kaarawan ni Floro. Isa lamang umano sa mga mahistrado ang makakaligtas sa nabanggit na sumpa matapos na pakiusapan ni Floro ang tatlong duwende na huwag itong idamay. Hindi naman tinukoy ni Floro kung sino sa 15 mahistrado ang hiniling niyang huwag mapasama sa sumpa ng kanyang mga kaibigang duwende. Magugunita na sinibak ng SC si Floro dahil sa umano’y weird na pagsasagawa nito ng hearing sa kanyang sala at pagkonsulta sa mga nasabing duwende sa pagpapalabas ng desisyon."

WHAT IS THE BUSINESS OF JUSTICE LUCAS BERSAMIN TALKING TO MY PONENTE JUSTICE NAZARIO, AND TO HER STAFF ABOUT MY CASE?

THIS IS ANATHEMA NOT ONLY TO THE CONSTITUTION BUT TO THE CANONS OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT.

IS THE IMPRECATION UNDER PSALM 109 BY JUDGE FLORO, REALLY THE NEWLY DISCOVERED REMEDY TO EXORCIZE THE CORRUPT JUDICIARY?

LUIS, Armand & Angel: THEY WILL REGRET IT!

A chilli-hot year for whiny garbage
David Pannick, QC

David Pannick, QC, presides over the memorable
legal appearances of 2006

"In the Manhattan Supreme Court, Justice Jane Solomon told Liza Minnelli and her former husband David Gest to stop their “whiny garbage” of litigation. This year was notable for the quantity of whiny garbage to be found in courtrooms round the world.

There was particularly hot competition in 2006 for the prize for judge of the year. William A. Carter, of the Albany City Court in New York, was a strong contender after being censured by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct for his behaviour when presiding at a preliminary hearing of criminal charges: he removed his judicial robe, walked up to the defendant and asked: “You want a piece of me?”. In Washington State, Superior Court Judge Beverly G. Grant began a manslaughter sentencing hearing by asking everyone in court to join her in a Super Bowl cheer of “Go Seahawks”. She later explained that she was simply trying to ease tensions. Judge Donald D. Thompson was convicted by a jury in Oklahoma on four counts of indecent exposure by surreptitiously using a penis pump in Creek County Court while sitting as a judge hearing (or at least pretending to hear) trials in 2002 and 2003. The judge picks up a consolation award for the least contentious statement by a defendant in a criminal trial this year: “In 20-20 hindsight, I should have thrown it away.”

Those were the runners-up. The award for judge of the year goes to Judge Florentino V. Floro Jr, whom the Supreme Court of the Philippines sacked from the Regional Trial Court in Malabon City for regularly opening proceedings in his courtroom with the statement that he was “a Bar topnotcher” who passed the 1983 Bar examinations “with an average score of 87.55 per cent”; for changing from blue court robes to black each Friday “to recharge his psychic powers” as “the No 5 psychic in the country”; and for claiming to have the assistance of “three dwarf friends named Luis, Armand and Angel”, who, unseen by others, provided him with assistance in court."

C.J. DAVIDE, JR. FILED 2 COMMENTS, WILL FACE PSYCHIC JUDGE FLORO, & SEN. TATAD AT COA, SENATE, DEC. 6, 10 A.M.

2006-11-30T21:22:00.000-08:00

First in Philippine Judicial, Legistlative and paranormal history: A retired Chief Justice, HILARIO G. DAVIDE, JR. will face the PSYCHIC JUDGE, now the ACCUSER/oppositor. The charges, accusations and grounds of the opposition versus his confirmation as permanent representative to the UNITED NATIONS post are:

1) Medical UNFITNESS due to severe diabetes / TERMINAL illness (undisclosed) resulting from his carotid operation (CARROT MAN, borrowing the new word coined by Sen. Rene A. Saguisag) by Dr. George Garcia,

2) GRAFT & corruption, UTTER LACK of INTEGRITY, dishonesty, gross misconduct, and UNEXPLAINED wealth, when he was Member of the S.C. Division chaired by S.C. Justice Teodoro Padilla (who accused all the other members of absolute corruption/palpable receipt of huge sums of money/bribes, via media expose before his death); specifically, the LECHON was the 11 billion pay-off in Hongkong to Justices Hermosisima, Jr., Bellosillo, Kapunan and Davide, while the Chair Teodoro Padilla was shortchanged resulting to tension, that caused the cancer death and expose of the DAVIDE SCAM before his death;

http://www.pcij.org/stories/1997/justice3.html

http://www.pcij.org/stories/1997/justice2.html

his former law partner, Atty. Filemon Fernandez told Judge Floro the FACT of Davide's corruption as practicing partner lawyer at Cebu with Fernandez (circa 2000-2001, when Fernandez treated the 4 JBC Members to dinner, and all revealed that Davide would wait for the retirement of Pardo, the Ponente, to have decided on Judge Floro's suspension delay and VENDETTA); UNEXPLAINED WEALTH, since, he has now several parcels of lands, huge deposits abroad, and he used grease money as law practitioner and as jurist to educate his children and some close relatives,

clear misuse of the Judiciary Development Fund (JDF) has sharply divided employees of the courts,
Mr. Davide and his son Bryan Hilary had no problems spending P120,000 for clerical chairs, luxury retirement mansions and luxury cars, because that kind of excessive spending used up most of the remaining JDF funds specifically allocated for the court employees,

3) deliberate, malicious and in bad faith, with lust for vengeance (due to Judge Floro's 2 world-famous mystic dwarves LUIS, Armand & Angel, the 3 Angels of God's inflicting illnesses upon HILARIO, SR. who was tormented and tortured in pain nightly by the 3 dwarves from July 20, 1999 7 years longest preventive suspension of Judge Floro, until after the release of Judge Floro's Psychosis Decision on April 6, 2006, when the corrupt father of the most corrupt Chief Justice ever, died in PAIN; the 3 mystic dwarves also successfully caused the blocking of Davide's carotid and the December, 2004 Colawin, Cebu foot accident that resulted i Davide's sitting in the wheelchair for 2 months due to extreme DIABETES, and the stroke of his brother) told Justice Regino C. Hermosisima, Jr. (before the latter's PROSTATE one week treatment on December, 2002), that Judge Floro's suspension will stay until Davide's retirement on December 20, 2005, and subsequently Judge Floro would be dismissed;

4) unlawfully,unethically, unprofessionally and with conspiracy with Justice Ynares-Santiago, through the influence of her brother, DAVIDE did talk to Judge Philbert Iturralde, after the Investigator found the Judge guilty of bribery, and DAVIDE/Santiago, Ponente of the Per Curiam case, reinstated Iturralde with back wages while they dismissed co-marked money Judge Calilung ....

DAVIDE filed 2 replies or comments, while the COA, Senate fixed the confirmation hearing on December 6, 2006, at 10 a.m., wednesday, where oppositors SENATOR FRANCISCO TATAD, Mr. Allan Paguia & Psychic Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. with his 3 mystic dwarves will FACE Davide in the confirmation hearings.

Judge Floro will file on Monday December 4, 2006 his supplemental complaint and reply to Davide's 2 comments (with 35 copies for the COA).

Hope Diamond: Mystic Dwarfs LUIS, Armand & Angel, Psychic Judge curse JBC, 14 S.C. Justices and Judiciary

Hope Diamond: Mystic Dwarfs LUIS, Armand & Angel, Psychic Judge curse Judicial and Bar Council, 14 S.C. Justices and Judiciary

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_Diamond#The_Curse

The Hope Diamond is a large (45.52 carat), deep blue diamond, currently housed in the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. The diamond is legendary for the misfortunes it supposedly visits upon its possessors. The Hope Diamond's history can be traced to a blue diamond named the Tavernier Blue, which was originally mined from the Kollur mine in Golconda, India, and was a crudely cut triangle shape of 112 3/16 carats (22.44 g). French merchant-traveler Jean-Baptiste Tavernier purchased it sometime in 1660 or 1661. According to legend, the Tavernier Blue was stolen from an eye of a sculpted idol of the Hindu goddess Sita, the wife of Rama, the Seventh Avatara of Vishnu. The diamond was one of the 2 eyes of the idol. When the priests noticed it was missing, they placed a curse on whoever owned the diamond. One reason that this is not accepted is that the Hope's sister has not been found.
The Curse: The first stories about the supposed curse of the Hope Diamond surfaced in 1909. In the June 25 issue of The Times an article written by the Paris correspondent listed a number of supposed owners who had come to an ignoble end. Tavernier supposedly died of fever soon after (he actually lived to 84, and was not torn apart by wolves). The Hope Diamond was blamed for the fall from the king's favor of madame Athenais de Montespan and French finance minister Nicolas Fouquet, the beheadings of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and the rape, mutilation and beheading of the Princesse de Lamballe. The legend added fictitious persons: diamond cutter Wilhelm Fals (killed when his son Hendrik stole it); Hendrik Fals (suicide); Francois Beaulieu (starvation after he sold it to Daniel Eliason).

Sumpa ng mga duwende: SC justices mamalasin, mamamatay

The Philippine Star Online

Makakaranas ng sunud-sunod na kamalasan at posible umanong mamatay isa-isa ang mga mahistrado ng Korte Suprema simula sa Linggo ng hatinggabi. Ito ang nilalaman ng pangatlong "motion for reconsideration" ni dating Malabon Regional Trial Court branch 73 Judge Florentino Floro Jr. na inihain nito na naglalayong makabalik siya sa nasabing posisyon.

Sa nabanggit na mosyon ni Floro, magdaranas ng sumpa ang mga mahistrado ng Korte Suprema gayundin ang kanilang mga kamag-anak hanggang sa ika-apat na saling lahi. Ito anya ang napagkasunduan ng tatlong duwende na sina Armand, Luis at Angel na nagpakita sa kanya noong nakaraang linggo matapos na tila mag-"en banc session" ang mga ito. Inilakip ni Floro sa kanyang mosyon ang mga larawan ng tatlong duwende na tila kamukha ng komedyanteng "three stooges."

Nagalit umano ang mga nasabing duwende sa hudikatura dahil sa pagtatakip ng mga ito sa katotohanan partikular na sa kanyang kaso. Magsisimula umanong matupad ang sumpa sa hatinggabi ng Nobyembre 5 kasabay ng ika-53 kaarawan ni Floro.
Isa lamang umano sa mga mahistrado ang makakaligtas sa nabanggit na sumpa matapos na pakiusapan ni Floro ang tatlong duwende na huwag itong idamay. Hindi naman tinukoy ni Floro kung sino sa 15 mahistrado ang hiniling niyang huwag mapasama sa sumpa ng kanyang mga kaibigang duwende. Magugunita na sinibak ng SC si Floro dahil sa umano’y weird na pagsasagawa nito ng hearing sa kanyang sala at pagkonsulta sa mga nasabing duwende sa pagpapalabas ng desisyon.

SWS survey: Lawyers say judiciary more corrupt

MORE lawyers nowadays complain of corruption in the judicial system compared to 10 years ago, according to the Social Weather Stations. One out of two lawyers knows of a trial judge in their city or province who has taken a bribe but they did not report it because they could not prove it, said the SWS. In a briefing among lawyers Tuesday night, SWS president Mahar Mangahas said the perception of corruption in the various courts -- from the municipal trial courts all the way up to the Supreme Court -- has risen among lawyers in the last 10 years. "Our lawyers are more critical now than before," Mangahas told the lawyers as he presented the survey findings for the first time. The SWS polled 889 trial judges -- or 61 percent of all trial judges in the country -- and 400 lawyers from November 2003 to July 2004 to get their perceptions on various aspects of the judicial system.The last such survey was undertaken by SWS from 1994 to 1996.
"Corruption remains a major problem," the SWS said in a press statement."As in 1995, one-fourth of present lawyers say that many or very many judges are corrupt. Although half or 49 percent say they know a case in their own city or province where a judge took a bribe, only 8 percent said they reported the bribery. The main excuse of those who kept silent is that they could not prove it," the SWS said.Among judges, only 7 percent said that many or very many judges were corrupt.The SWS said the judges' perception of the extent of corruption among court personnel was the same as in 1996."What has increased is the proportion of judges seeing many lawyers as corrupt," it said.
Mangahas said the survey showed that corruption "remains a serious problem in the judicial system but it is not cultural.” "They're saying there's nothing to be done about (corruption) but it's not accepted. There's still the idealism," he said.

Judge Floro timely files on November 3, 2006, first Friday, the 3rd Appeal or Motion for Partial Reconsideration/Reinstatement and Motion for Reconsideration of Dismissal Resolution of Davide Disbarment Case A.C. No. 7324, respectively.

C.J. Davide, ponente, writes:

"While indeed a second motion for reconsideration is a prohibited pleading under the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure, we have allowed it in certain cases. Besides, in administrative cases involving discipline of judges and court personnel, we have allowed second or even third motions for reconsideration whenever justified by the circumstances."

Madame Justice Minita Viray Chico-Nazario,
Supreme Court, Manila, Philippines

Chief Justice Artemio V. Panganiban, Associate Justice Minita Viray Chico-Nazario, and the MEMBERS, En Banc, SUPREME COURT

Motion for Leave of Court to Admit And Grant a) this Third Motion for Partial Reconsideration [of par. 2), page 74, of the DECISION (in this case)] to Reinstate Judge Floro [under Soria vs. Villegas, allowing 2nd/3rd Motions for Reconsideration of Dismissal of Judges, 11-18, 2004, A.M. No. RTJ-3-1812], and b) Alternative Motion to Expunge from the Rollo this Pleading/Paper if Judge Floro will not be reinstated, and to mail the expunged copy to Judge Floro in accordance with TRUTH and his religious Prayer or Imprecation – Psalm 109, inter alia.

Undersigned respondent respectfully moves for the setting aside of and to reconsider the Resolution dated October 10, 2006, (DISMISSING the 2nd Motion for Reconsideration) which he personally received on October 19, 2006, hence the timeliness of this pleading. Complainant submits only ONE GROUND:

Ponente Justice Minita Viray Chico-Nazario (of A.M. No. RTJ-99-1460, the 7 years preventive suspension case of complainant) improperly, unlawfully, immorally and committing MORTAL SIN under Canon Law and the Divine Decrees or Catholic Dogmas, approached JBC Member Justice Regino C. Hermosisima, Jr. at a dinner, before the latter personally phoned and talked to complainant on February 10, 2006, to settle the case, absolute cover-up or death of TRUTH: that all conspiring respondents in disbarment case No. 7324, 3rd Division, committed PRESUMPTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, an unforgivable MORTAL SIN under CANON LAW, for they LIED or submitted false testimony in violation of the 10 commandments of God.

Private and Confidential Letter A.M. No. RTJ-99-1460

Madame Justice Minita,

Lo and Behold!
The angel of the Lord visited me on the midnight of 15 October, 2006. 4 very brilliant holy white lights flashed and my soul magnified my God. LUIS, the King of Kings of Elementals (ridiculed as mystic dwarf) appeared to me so regally in utterly clear VISION, and declared unto myself:

“Tolle, Lege!

LUIS: Basahin mo at Isulat.
Judge Floro: (And I saw the writing on the wall …)
LUIS: Lilinisin namin ang Hudikatura sa pamamagitan ng Lila at Puting Sinag, Ikaw and napili naming tagapagtupad.
Judge Floro: Hindi po ako karapatdapat …
LUIS: Paparusahan ka namin kapag Ikaw ay sumuway.
Judge Floro: Matutupad po, ako and inyong abang alipin, sa Ngalan ng Kataas-taasang Poong May-Kapal.
LUIS: Isulat mo at Ipatupad.
Judge Floro: Sa Ngalan po ng Diyos Ama laban sa lahat ng kasamaan.”

Duly signed:

Judge FLORENTINO V. FLORO, JR., the ANGEL OF DEATH, LUIS, ARMAND and ANGEL.

Luis, the mystic, healing dwarf and angel of God again appeared to me on October 31, 2006, with a flash of violet light midnight. And I filed an appeal to my guardian Angel in the name of the God, the Divine Mercy, to have pity on just one or 2 supreme court incumbent justices. Luis, under full authority warned that He is an Angel and He would punish me severely if I would not execute the decision thereby utterly disobeying the mandate of the Most High. And Fear caught my soul, and in bended knees I said: “Be it done unto to me according to thy Word.”

Dalliance and Trance with the Mystic King of angels/Dwarves:

LUIS: Ipatupad mo na, Isumpa mo ang buong Hudikatura.
Judge Floro: (And I saw the writing on the wall …) Isinusumpa ko po.
LUIS: Lilinisin namin ang buong Hudikatura sa pamamagitan ng Lila at Puting Sinag, Ikaw and napili naming tagapagpatupad. Daraanan namin ang mga pinto nila sa ganap na ika-12 ng Hatinggabi ng ika-53 kaarawan mo sa ika-5 ng Nobyembre.
Judge Floro: Hindi po ako karapatdapat … subalit matutupad po… aking iguguhit
ang kanilang tadhana sa pamamagitan ng banal na panalangin…
LUIS: Ilagay mo sa loob ng mga sitas at salita ang kanilang mga unang pangalan.
Habang buhay mo itong dasalin tuwing biyernes.
Judge Floro: Parang awa ninyo po, pahintulutan ninyo akong tanggalin kahit isang pangalan lamang upang magbakasakali ng mabuksan ang Katotohanan.

Voting En Banc with full authority LUIS voted Negative, Armand conditionally positive, upon full appointment of Judge Floro to a higher or equal position by virtue of the eliminated magistrate, while Angel voted neutral: TIE VOTE.

LUIS: Ibinibigay ko ang iyong hiling. Hindi namin daraanan ang kaniyang tahanan kung mapapahiran mo ng aming Langis ang ano-mang bahagi ng kaniyang silid o tahanan bago mag-ika 5 ng Nobyembre. Dasalin mu na at ipatupad ang banal na SUMPA:

Psychic and Healing Judge Floro recites the prayer of Curse: STAIN in their Bloods up to the 4th Generation:

“Kill the wicked, O God
O that you would kill the wicked, O God,
and that the bloodthirsty would depart from me—

I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies. ( Psalm 139:19-22 )
Remember, O Lord, xxx
how they said, “Tear it down! Tear it down!
Down to its foundations!”
O daughter Babylon , you devastator!
Happy shall they be who pay you back
what you have done to us!
Happy shall they be who take your little ones
and dash them against the rock! ( Psalm 137:7-9 )

O God, the heathen are come1 into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled;14 they have laid1 Jerusalem on heaps. And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached14 thee, O Lord.

Cry for Vengeance – Imprecation – Psalm 109

109 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; 2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful [1] are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. 3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. 6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan [2] stand at his right hand. 7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: [3] and let his prayer become sin. 8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office. [4] 9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. 10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. 11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. 12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. 13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. 15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. 16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. 20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul. 21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. 22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. 23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. 24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. 25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. 26 Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy: 27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it. when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. 29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, MINITA, MA.

Psa 21:9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
the Bible says that a man's Legacy stays with him through the 7th generation,
“But now, I pray, let the power of the Lord be great, xxx but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.” (Numbers 14:17-20)
Exodus 34:6,7:
“Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, ‘The Lord, the Lord God xxx yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.’”
Imprecation leaves action to God. It is much better to ask God to avenge us (and therefore, leave it to God than to take vengeance ourselves).
Jesus does not want us to remain in a situation of seething anger, embittered toward the enemy. He wants to release us from that prison, to let it go and move on.
In Matthew 5 , Jesus says: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.”
I WILL DEVOTE MY ENTIRE LIFE, FRIDAYS, UNTIL MY LAST BREATH, TOWARDS THE FULFILMENT, EXECUTION AND COMMING TO PASS OF THIS CURSE. WITH ABSOLUTE FAITH IN LUIS, ARMAND & ANGEL, ANGELS OF GOD, I WILL FULFIL MY DESTINY: SPELL & KARMA UPON THEM, ALL THEIR LOVED ONES, UP TO THE 4th GENERATION.

This First Friday, at Malolos, Bulacan, for Manila, November 3, 2006, under my hand and the white and violet lights of LUIS, ARMAND & ANGEL.

RELIEF

IN THE LIGHT OF THE FOREGOING, it is respectfully prayed that the instant motion for leave to grant 3rd motion for partial reconsideration be duly granted, in accordance with Psalm 109, inter alia.
Other relief and remedies are likewise prayed for.

Motion for Reconsideration
With Prayer for Early Resolution

Undersigned complainant respectfully moves for the setting aside of and to reconsider the Resolution dated September 20, 2006, (DISMISSING the complaint) which he personally received on October 19, 2006, hence the timeliness of this pleading. Complainant submits only ONE GROUND:

Ponente Justice Minita Viray Chico-Nazario (of A.M. No. RTJ-99-1460, the 7 years preventive suspension case of complainant) improperly, unlawfully, immorally and committing MORTAL SIN under Canon Law and the Divine Decrees or Catholic Dogmas, approached JBC Member Justice Regino C. Hermosisima, Jr. at a dinner before the latter personally phoned and talked to complainant on February 10, 2006, to settle the case, as absolute cover-up or death of TRUTH: that all conspiring respondents herein committed PRESUMPTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, an unforgivable MORTAL SIN under CANON LAW, for they LIED or submitted false testimony in violation of the 10 commandments of God.

RELIEF

IN THE LIGHT OF THE FOREGOING, it is respectfully prayed that the instant motion for reconsideration be duly granted and resolved forthwith.

Other relief and remedies are likewise prayed for.
