Hango mula sa Column ni William Esposo (The Philippine Star)
"Nakaranas na ba kayong ... mamatayan ng kapatid dahil wala kang perang pangpagamot?" – Tanung ni Villar in his Panata TV commercial. Tinutukoy ni Villar dito ay yong nakababatang kapatid na si Danny na namatay noong Oktubre 1962. Sa komersyal na ito pinakita pa yaong larawan nilang dalawa.
Itong pagpapakita na sila ay dating mahirap ay isang makalaking kasinungalingan na makikita rin sa iba pang komersyal ni Villar upang makakuha ng awa at suporta sa mga masa at mahihirap na Pilipino na bumubuo ng 90% ng botante. Pero, etong paggamit niya sa pagkamatay ng kapatid ay katumbas kung hindi man mas masaklap pa sa mga kasinungalingan ni GMA.
Dalawang pampublikong dokumento ang magpapatunay na puro kasinungalingan ang imahe na gustong ipakita ni Villar: (a.) Death Certificate ni Danny Villar at ( b.) Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT number 135396/3194) ng 560 sq. meter na lupa sa San Rafael Village sa Navotas kung saan sila tumira.
Bilang patotoo sa mga kasinungalingan ni Villar, narito ang mga tunay na impormasyon tungkol sa estado ng buhay nila noong panahon na namatay ang kanyang kapatid:
Bago mag-1962, ang magulang ni Villar ay bumili ng 560 sq. meter na lupa sa Bernardo Street sa San Rafael Village kung saan ang mas nakakaangat sa buhay (middle class) ay nakatira. Nangyari ito bago pa man namatay ang kanyang kapatid na si Danny.
Ang kanyang ama ay nagtratrabaho noon sa gobyerno bilang budget officer ng DANR (Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources) kung saan nasa ilalim nito ang Fisheries Bureau. Samantalang ang kanyang ina ay isang seafood (sugpo, alimango, at isda) dealer sa Divisoria at hindi magtitinda na tulad ng sinasabi ni Villar.
Ang kita ng magulang ni Villar ay tiyak na mas malaki ng di hamak sa karaniwan upang makabili ng 560 sq. meters na lupa. Ang isang ordinaryong tao ay bumibili ng di hihigit sa 100sq. m na lupa upang tirikan ng bahay. Sa katunayan, nakapagloan pa ang kanyang ama ng P16,000 sa GSIS (na kung isusuma ang halaga sa ngayon ay di bababa ng P1.14 Million)
Sa ngayon, ang lupa nilang yaon ay may halaga na di bababa sa 5.6M pesos base sa zonal value na P10,000 kada sq. meter.
Si Manny Villar ay nagtapos ng elementarya sa "Holy Child Catholic School" at sa Mapua Institute of Technology sa High school. Parehong pampribadong paaralan. Ang mga mahihirap ay sa pampublikong paaralan lang kayang pag-aralin ang kanilang mga anak.
si Jun Borres, na nakabili ng property nina Villar noong 1987, ay sinasabing ang bahay nina Villar ay 2 palapag. Ang Ibaba ay bato samantalang kahoy ang itaas. Ito ay tipikal na bahay ng isang pamilya na kabilang sa upper middle class.
Ang mga impormasyon naman hinggil sa pagkamatay na kapatid niyang si Danny:
Ang death certificate ni Danny ay nagpapatunay na nakatira sila sa nabanggit na bahay nuong pang 1962.
Hindi totoong namatay si Danny dahil walang maipangpagamot. Si Danny ay tumagal ng 13 araw sa FEU Hospital kung saan namatay siya sa edad na 3 taon at 8 buwan. Kung totoong mahirap sila, dapat sa PGH sya dinala at hindi sa FEU hospital. Ang FEU hospital ay kabilang sa de-primerang hospital noong mga panahon na iyon.
Si Danny ay namatay sa Cardiac and Respiratory Failure dahil sa Leukemia. Noong 1962, wala pang bone marrow transplant at chemotherapy at lahat mayaman man o mahirap ay namamatay sa ganung sakit.
Pagkamatay ni Danny, siya ay ibinurol sa LA FUNERARIA PAZ – na hanggang sa ngayon ay kinukonsidera na isa sa pinakasikat at mamahalin sa ganuong serbisyo. Muli, eto'y patunay na sila'y di mahirap na katulad ng sinasabi ni Manny.
Paanong ang isang kapatid na tulad ni Manny Villar ay gamitin sa kasinungalingan ang magagandang alaala ng kanyang kapatid na si Danny? Paano niya nataim na palabasing mahirap sila upang gamitin sa personal na interes at palabasing siya ay minsan na rin naging mahirap at pasinungalingan ang magagandang bagay ni ipinagkaloob sa kanya ng kanyang ama't ina?
Kung kaya ni MANNY VILLAR na magsinungaling na katulad nito, ano pa kayang kasinungalingan ang kaya niyang gawin sa taong bayan? Sa tingin nyo ba, kaya ng taong tulad nito ang magsabi ng totoo at iangat ng pamumuhay ng mahihirap? Sa tingin nyo ba, hindi rin kaya ng taong ito na mangurakot at magnakaw para sa sariling interes? Kung ginamit at itinatwa niya ang dangal ng kanyang pamilya sa kasinungalingan, hindi kaya't ang dangal ng bayan ay kaya rin niyang ibenta? Kayo ang magpasya.

Justice for the Parañaque Shootout Victims
Last December of 2008, a father and his daughter were among the victims of a shootout between the Philippine National Police and suspected robbers.
According to abs-cbnnews. com, Alfonso de Vera and daughter Lea Alyanna were on board their Isuzu Crosswind when they were intercepted by policemen along Sampaguita Street in the United Parañaque Subdivision IV in Sucat district.
A witness said Philippine National Police-Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) members trained their guns and opened fire on de Vera even after he alighted from the vehicle.
“Nakita ko, nakita ko niratrat nalang ‘yung sasakyan ng mga operatives ng SAF kahit lumabas na si Alfonso ng sasakyan, pinagbabaril pa rin.’ Di tinigilan hangang mamatay s’ya nang nakaluhod,” said the witness.
Lately, an email's been circulating about the feelings and emotions of the wife and the mother of the victims.
Here is the email…
I considered myself as one of those blessed and happiest people on earth. Why not?
I married a guy who was an epitome of kindness. A guy who worshipped the very footsteps I made. More importantly, our union blessed us with a daughter who not only became the main source of our happiness…more so; she was the center of our lives.
We’re simple folks who led a simple life. We felt the happiest even about mundane things and inconsequential ones that most people would only take for granted. Our joy mostly revolved on simple pleasure like a sudden trip to Jollibee or a late night marauding of the fridge for any leftovers.
A perfect family with simple delights, dreams and aspirations. ..until that fateful night on December 5, 2008 . The day my husband and daughter were taken away from me in a very violent way. That Friday night on December 5, 2008 marked the beginning of all the terror, anguish and misery in my life.
In keeping with my ritual or “panata” on every first Friday of every month, I went to Quiapo Church on the above mentioned date to pay homage and respect to the Almighty One.
My husband and daughter were supposed to pick me up in Pasay City after which we planned on giving our daughter a treat to Jollibee. While riding the jeep, I tried to call my husband to tell him that I’m on my way to our meeting place.
But despite all the calls I made, my husband remained silent. A very unusual occurrence in as much as he seldom missed my calls.
Despite my trepidation and wonder, I took the next jeep going home and prayed that everything was alright. I even promised to myself that I will forgive my husband for not answering my calls and for forgetting to pick me up.
I felt relieved when near our place my phone rung. Such relief was somehow only momentary… in fact the phone call I got was the bearer of the worst news in my entire life. My helper called, only to tell me that my husband and daughter were shot to death by “men in uniform”. The same men who swore to protect innocent people from bad guys brutally slayed the two most important persons in my life. They were the same men whose sacred duty was to preserve the lives of the public against all harm and danger. Yet... they were the same men who murdered my love ones in the most cruel, savage and inhuman way.
My husband’s face was unrecognizable because he was shot in the head at close range while he was kneeling with his head bowed down. My daughter’s young body was riddled with bullets, one hit her head, blowing her brains out, all from too powerful guns and ammunition fired by the “men in uniform” at two innocent and defenseless persons.
The “men in uniform” were allegedly on a mission to take out some gang of robbers victimizing people at large. The police shot the crosswind van my husband and daughter were riding. Based on some witnesses’ narration, the police sprayed bullets into the van despite the lack of provocation or shots coming from the crosswind van.
In his last effort to save their lives, my husband grabbed my bloodied daughter and shielded her with his body while trying to run away from the police and tried to get cover from a parked jeepney My husband and daughter were so defenseless.
How can you mistake a child for a robber? How can you shoot at someone who was already kneeling with head bowed, an indication of helplessness? !
My husband and daughter are gone ... forever. The pains I feel for their lost is too much too bear. And the only thing that motivates me to go on with life is the mission to seek justice for their senseless killing. If the people who were responsible for their death will be punished, if I could bring them to justice, my pains would be alleviated. The misery I will live by will be lessened. My husband and daughter will be vindicated and I will learn to live the remaining years of my life in peace.Thus: I’m asking and begging everyone who will come across this letter/e-mail to forward the same to all your relatives, friends, and acquaintances. Help me bring my cause to the eyes of the people capable of steering the wheel of justice in the right direction.
Help me make the loudest cry worthy of attention by those people in-charge in rendering justice to those who deserve it.
Strength comes in numbers; it is where the impossible becomes possible. It is also where the unattainable becomes achievable.
My heartfelt gratitude for everyone who will take a moment in their too busy lives and forward this letter/e-mail to everyone they know.
May God always protect you and your loved ones from all harm.
