An open letter to C.J. Panganiban: No Cross, No Crown; "No Pain, No Gain"
Sir,
I am still jobless today: since you signed the S.C. En Banc Res. dated July 20,1999 (my longest preventive suspension in world history) and the April 7, 2006, 75 pages Minita Viray Chico-Nazario Decision (my separation from judicial service/payment due to dwarf consultation).
Since I was suspended on July 20, 1999, and since I lost my appeals on August 11, 2006 and July 12, 2007 (or 10 years, now), I miserably failed to find a kind heart to help me convince my 'spirit guides' to cease and desist from 'godly reprisals'.
Since July 21, 1999, when I begged Mr. Regino C. Hermisima, Jr. to talk to you, to allow me to see the light of your chambers, and from the last time I begged your mentor Mr. Jovito Salonga (August 4, 2006,in his Vallle Verde mansion) to help me find a job thru your grace, and from the last and 3rd time I knelt before my own lawyer Mr. Rene AV Saguisag (on August 29, 2006, 2nd Flr., Heritage Hotel), I was fully incarcerated in a world of darkness, and I never saw SUN light.
I had written 2 books about my life, case and the spirit guides. I am writing the 3rd book about the inside of the corridors of power in the Supreme Court/Senate/Malacanang. Specifically, I am writing in detail, my presence in all the En Banc deliberations of my case since July 20, 1999, 11 a.m., on how you and the magistrates discussed my case and the 8 medical surgeries which caused my pains and gains.
You are correct that nobody has yet written about the deliberations in the chambers of Faura. I will be the first one.
On 2010, more or less, a new Chief Justice will be destined to rule with terror on our nation. 666 will be the visible mark on the head of this new This Chief. [Since 2003, Alicia Austria-Martinez is suffering from the dreaded Alzeimer's disease, while Mr. Renato C. Corona's metallic spine (2 times surgery at St. Luke's and abroad with 3rd treatment last December); Consuelo Ynares-Santiago's kidney was removed on 2004, while Angelina Sandoval-Gutierrez' gall bladder was operated on February, 2006; Miriam Defensor Santiago lost his A.R. and had 3 stitches on her head, after the S.C. dismissed my A.C. 7663 case against her last month; Alfedo Benipayo suffered angioplasty and fell on February 22, 2008 at Iloilo; etc.]
And as I repeatedly written, only the consecration of the entire judiciary, senate, the executive and our nation by our Cardinal, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the enthronement of Our Lady of Fatima / Hope, with the Eucharist in the Adoracion chapel in 5 places destroyed by 5 mystic fires, will put an end to the CURSE under Psalm 109/73, by my Holy Angels.
Every Friday midnights, Luz Puno, Hilario, Sr. Jose and Jorge Davide, Sabino De Leon, Dulce Saguisag, Lily Victorino, Luis and James Bersamin, Marcelo Fernan, and 40 others appear to me not in ghostly forms, but in horrible attires, begging me to write to the Supreme Court, thru you, and your family: to prevent their living loved ones, the incumbent S.C. Magistrates, inter alia, from being clawed by the mighty sword of my Angel of Death, LUIS, and to let them stay away from the gates of hell, to convince them to repent, and be saved from perdition; and I repeat, to be saved from the hands of the Angel of Death, LUIS, the King of kings of elementals.
At 8 pm., August 29, 2006, I begged Rene Saguisag, for mercy ... not for myself, but for his own family ... he never understood my riddles and cryptology ... I was prevented from ... my lips were sealed, but now, I was allowded to OPEN this letter / secret to you ... lest you be, INTO perdition ... I specifically told Dean Virgilio Jara, San Beda, to ask Rene, to reach to Corazon Cojuanco Aquino, to help a jobless Filipino dwarf Judge in pretend world ... my maid Belen bombarded Rene's secretary Malen and Glenda (as Belen also called Vilma, your secretary) with 20 phone calls for mercy ... but Rene failed LUIS, the King of kings of elementals ...
At 8pm, November 5, 2007, I approached my spiritual director, Fr. Constancio Gan, CM at Adamson University, after I filed the MOTION FOR ENTRY OF JUDGMENT, detailing RENE SAGUISAG's Atty. Bibing Timbangkaya's draft of my decision, and I was enveloped by terror ...
IN THE LIGHT OF THE FOREGOING, I beg of you, IN TIME, to be compassionate, not to me, but to all your / their LOVED ones who are now lined-up to suffer all these. PATIKIM lang po ang dinanas nila.
Peace of Christ!

With Due Respect
Public scrutiny of the Supreme Court
By Artemio V. Panganiban
Philippine Daily Inquirer First Posted 00:50:00 05/11/2008
Other than those authored by the justices themselves (See “Res Gestae,” 2000, by Justice Isagani A. Cruz and “From the Academe to the Supreme Court,” undated, by Justice Jose C. Campos Jr.), the Philippines does not have equivalent tomes written by non-jurists. However, given the brisk sale and historical value given to similar books in the United States, some investigative journalists are at the moment writing books on our Supreme Court and its members.
The moral lesson is that the information and transparency revolution has invaded the judicial fortress. Magistrates would do well to remember that their courts are no longer sacrosanct and that their work and lifestyles are now open to constant public scrutiny.
THE WIDE PUBLIC CRITICISM OF THE RECENT decision of the Supreme Court sealing the lips of Secretary Romulo Neri has generated a side issue: Is the Supreme Court fair game for public and media scrutiny?
Deities on Mt. Olympus. When I was a student of law half a century ago, courts were sacrosanct. Supreme Court justices were revered like little deities on Mt. Olympus, whose pronouncements were accepted with finality by the litigants and the public. No one dared lampoon the Court or its gods.
Moreover, when a litigation was pending, the parties and their counsels refrained from publicly commenting on its merits. Under the strict sub-judice rule, arguments and opinions were confined to the courtrooms and the pleadings of the parties. To argue a case elsewhere, especially in the absence of the opposing party, was unheard of and deemed unfair.
However, the information revolution has invaded the judicial fortress. Our people power culture has widened democratic space and encouraged our citizens to question plainly unreasonable impositions from whatever source. Our new Constitution has ordained transparency and accountability as primary principles of governance.
The sub-judice rule has been relaxed in public interest cases in which not every affected citizen could possibly be heard in the courtroom. Hence, public scrutiny, both the pros and the cons, of these cases, especially the judgments thereon, have become part of life in our democracy. Magistrates are presumed to be prudent enough to be able to separate the chaff from the grain in these public discussions.
Worldwide change. Aware of this development, our Supreme Court created a public information office in 2000 and has, since then, regularly named a spokesperson who routinely dealt with media. This sea change of judicial attitude towards public scrutiny is not confined to the Philippines. Even jurisdictions that did not undergo the yellow revolution or have no transparency provisions in their basic laws, have adjusted to fair criticisms.
This phenomenon is common in America, Europe, Australia and many countries in Asia-Pacific. Justice Michael Kirby has earned a worldwide reputation of being the “in-house” critic of the Australian High Court (the equivalent of our Supreme Court). Books dissecting the US Supreme Court have become bestsellers. Here are some recent ones.
“Decision ” (1996) by Bernard Schwartz, a professor of law at the University of Tulsa, described by the New York Times as “one of the nation’s leading legal scholars.” This volume provides a unique behind-the-scenes look at how US justices decide cases. “Rarely do arguments of counsel—brilliant though they may appear to the courtroom audience—dictate the decision in an important Supreme Court case. Rather, the crucial arguments in a case take place privately among the justices after the public hearing.” It “gives a privileged look at how countless cases throughout the Court’s history” have been debated, voted upon and decided.
“Closed Chambers” (1998) by Edward Lazarus, a former law clerk to Justice Harry A. Blackmun and one of the 36 lawyers who assisted the nine US justices. To quote from the book itself, the author’s “riveting account shows us a Court broken into scheming factions whose members resort to crass political calculations and transparently hypocritical arguments as they discard legal principles for bottom-line results. The justices further compound this cliquish antagonism by granting excessive power to immature, ideologically driven clerks, who then use that power to manipulate their bosses and the institution they ostensibly serve.”
“Men in Black” (2005) by Mark Levin, radio journalist, editor, constitutional law expert and advisor to some Cabinet members in the Reagan government. The book is a scathing critique of the present and past US Supreme Courts and their members. It accuses them of “usurping the authority of the elected branches of government… of regularly vetoing the decisions of the elected federal and state authorities.” It attacks individual justices; for instance, it charges the brilliant Justice Felix Frankfurter of unethically leaking to executive officials “confidential information about the positions of fellow justices.”
“The Nine” (2007) by Jeffrey Toobin, a CNN senior legal analyst and New Yorker staff writer. This bestseller “tells the story of the Court through personalities—from Anthony Kennedy’s overwhelming sense of self-importance to Clarence Thomas’ well-tended grievances against his critics, to David Souter’s odd 19th-century lifestyle. There is also, for the first time, the full behind-the-scenes story of Bush vs Gore—and Sandra Day O’Connor’s fateful breach with George W. Bush, the president she helped place in office.”

Third Open Letter to Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban
Liberty and Prosperity
As Independent Director of Meralco, and counting all your wealth, fortunes and dire prosperity, I remember you Miggy, who gave your family so much joy, with the honors and medals earned from grade and high school. The confluence of events, these days, point to a rhyme, rhythm and impeccable comming to pass of the vengeance of the 3 mystic dwarves, ridiculed by the Davide, Panganiban and Puno Courts.
Yes, Mr. Chief Justice, the planet, the universe and the entire creation are only classified to the unseen and the visible: the light and darkness.
My 3 holy angels are not imaginary, and they are not ungodly. They were born at the time of the angels, and their sole mission is to annihilate evil, by putting stain in the bloods of evil up to the 4th generation. This is my vision: to take off from this world, all my enemies, detractors and more importantly, jurists, magistrates and honorable thieves, dambuhalang kagalang-galang na magnanakaw, na nagkukunwari - BALATKAYO, enjoying your PROPERITY, cherishing Davide's Temple of INJUSTICE, and siphoning PUNO's sword of Damocles.
COMELEC - How far can the CURSE spread?
The Commission on Appointments did not confirm his appointment due to opposition of some Commissioners led by Luzviminda Tancangco. On June 5, 2002 President Arroyo appointed Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman and former Mandaluyong City mayor Benjamin S. Abalos, Sr. to replace Benipayo.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfredo_Benipayo
Angioplasty
When Justice Benipayo signed the cursed July 20, 1999 suspension, he was operated Angioplasty on February 21, 2001, while my Investigator Justice Pedro A. Ramirez, who released his March 2000 Report declaring me INSANE, was rushed to St. Luke's Hospital and tranferred for angioplasty on the last quarter, 2003.
After cursing the COMELEC, Benipayo's Velma Cinco was gunned down on 20 November, 2002.
Fr. Rolando de La Rosa, O.P., UST, wrote in the Manila Bulletin: "Benipayo had chronic cough that bothered him for years. At first the best doctors thought the trouble was with his lungs. They found out later that it was his heart. He was suffering from CAD (coronary artery disease). His heart was clogged." On Feb. 21, 2001, Benipayo underwent angioplasty surgery 5 days after his appointment as Commission on Elections Chair.
On February 22, 2008, 3 p.m., Alfredo Benipayo (Dean of the faculty of civil law at the University of Santo Tomas) was hospitalized in Iloilo City's Saint Paul's Hospital. At the middle of his lecture before the Integrated Bar of the Philippines Iloilo Chapter in a hotel, he collapsed.
When my resume was brought to Chair Abalos by Nonoy, the neighbor and mentor of his Dr. Arsenio Abalos of Biyaheng Pinoy, Chair Abalos, rejected my plea for job, work and trabajo, since the S.C. Justices were so angry due to my Imprecation or Curse.
The old Comelec building was razed by fire on March 11, 2007, while Law Dept. Chief Dalaig and his successor Winie Asdala were both gunned down, after Rene Saguisag lost Dulce on November 8, 2007. ZTE broadband contract controversy did put the last curse and coffin nail to Abalos career.

‘Psychotic’ judge enlists help of dwarf-friends vs SC

Judge with 'spirit guide' earns Supreme Court's ire anew
Aug 10, 2007 - McClatchy Tribune Business News
Author(s): Jomar Canlas
Aug. 10--THE judge who was dismissed from service for believing in dwarfs which he called gabay (spirit guides) has earned the ire anew of the Supreme Court and is in danger of being cited for indirect contempt for his numerous pleadings which threaten he justices with "ungodly reprisals." In a 9-page per curiam resolution of the High Court, sitting en banc, the Court said it would no longer entertain the series of motions for reconsideration prayed by Judge Florentino Floro of Branch 73 of the Malabon Regional Trial Court to reinstate in o the service. The Court said the ruling separating him from the judiciary due to his "medically disabling condition of the mind" has already attained finality. Floro filed a series of motions reaching for reconsideration despite the clear provisions of the Rules of Court that "no second motion for reconsideration" is allowed. In its decision on March 31, 2006, the Court said, "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 of cor uption. However, the findings of psychosis by the mental health professionals assigned to his case indicate gross deficiency in competence and independence." Despite being sacked, the Court awarded Floro his salaries, allowances and other economic benefits for the past three years. But he was ordered to pay a fine of P40,000 for seven cases against him. In the medical examinations conducted by Supreme Court doctors, Floro admitted that he believed in "psychic visions." He said he has dwarf friends named Luis, Armand and Angel.
He claimed he could write while in a trance and could be in two places at th same time. Floro also likened himself to the "angel of death" who can hurt people especially corrupt court officials in Malabon. He also conducted healing sessions in his chamber during his break time. The Court advised Floro to look for other jobs in areas where he would be successful, but not in the judiciary. He was suspended indefinitely by the high court in 1999 after it upheld the recommendation of then-Court Administrator Alfredo Benipayo who conducted an audit of his sala. His violations were distributing cards containing his qualifications, declaring that he is pro-accused, ordering the mental and physical exam of an accused who he described as slow-witted (mahina ang pickup), openly criticizing the Rules of Court and th judiciary, among others. Floro was promoted to the RTC of Malabon by then President Joseph Estrada. He claimed that he was the one who predicted the stroke of Judicial and Bar Council member Teresita Cruz-Sison, the death of Supreme Court Justice Sabino de Leon and the ouster of Hernando Perez as secretary of justice, his teacher in Ateneo.
Second Open Letter to Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban
On April 2001, and June 2001, when I begged and knelt before JBC Ex-officio Members (Miriam Santiago, Companero Cayetano) and my Insurance and Crim. Proc. Ateneo Prof of 1979, 1982, DOJ Sec. Nani Perez, after 4 months of waiting, and after my classmates, his chief and vice chief of staff Lazatin and Veni Fule with Chona Dimayuga, and Amb. M. A. Teehankee, I faced Perez in his august DOJ chambers:
"Perez" - You know the President has no power to reinstate you!
"Dwarf Judge" - Sir, I am here to ask your 1 or 1/2 JBC vote for my Court of Appeals promotion since I got high grades in your insurance and crim. proc., topped the Bar Exams, 12th with 87.55% equivalent to 92% since only 21.3% passed and 70% of Ateneo and UP failed, and I got the record of 91% in Crim. Law Review, unbroken by 10 Ateneo Valedictorians since 1975-1985 ...
"Perez" - If you have a pending case, forget about it.
So, I cursed the day, the place and the room, and I promised not to return to that place until his fall.
Hospitalized on Dec. 17, 2001, due to gall bladder and severe diabetes, Perez politically fell, in his defeats - Batangas Governorship, DOJ post, etc.

Perez, co-accused refuse to enter plea
Former Justice Secretary Hernando Perez, his wife Rosario and brother-in-law Ramon Arceo refused to enter their plea before the Sandiganbayan during yesterday’s arraignment over the $2-million robbery-extortion charge filed in 2001 against them by former Manila Rep. Mark Jimenez.
He also declared that Rosario Perez, who is undergoing medical treatment for cancer, would no longer be required to appear in future hearings.

Chief Justice Andres Narvasa turned down membership due to legal questions and instead, a deputy court administrator attended the meetings merely as observer, not as member. Narvasa thereafter created the “Blueprint of Action for the Judiciary,” an 18-month consultation or judiciary-wide dialogue, funded by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). Later, Chief Justice Hilario G.

In Panganiban’s tenure, APJR centered on 4 ACID problems of the judiciary: “(1) Access to justice by the poor; (2) Corruption; (3) Incompetence of some judges; and (4) Delay in the resolution of cases with the 4 Ins: Independence, Integrity, Industry and Intelligence, and with ultimate goals of safeguarding of liberty and the nurturance of prosperity under the rule of law.” Narvasa, Davide and Panganiban’s judicial reforms achieved "the a) the doubling of judicial compensation through Republic Act 9227, b) computerization of the Sandiganbayan and selected trial courts, c) construction of model court houses in Angeles and Lapu Lapu cities, and the d) creation of the unique electronic library, the mobile courts, funded by Japan, and the Tagaytay Philippine Judicial Academy Center in Tagaytay", inter alia. On fiscal independence, the Supreme Court of the Philippines looks to Jelac "as the alternative for the annual budgetary grilling but it limited Jelac’s 'mandate' to its present functions."

He’s Unfit, But the Elves Are Fine
Speaking of the supernatural, a judge in the Philippines is appealing a decision by the country’s supreme court removing him from his job because, while on the bench, he frequently consulted three invisible elves--he calls them “Angel,” “Armand,” and “Luis.” The high court found him to be suffering from psychosis. Still, strange things have been happening-- including destruction by fire of the court’s crest and a spate of illness and accidents involving its members and their families. These led the court to ask the judge to “desist” in threatening “ungodly reprisal.” The judge blames elf Luis, the “avenger,” who he says wants to clean up corruption in the legal system. In finding the judge unfit to serve, the court noted he claimed not to rely on his elfin pals in deciding cases. “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,” the court wrote. That’s good news.

The Elf Hex [Jonah Goldberg]
By Odin's Raven:
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.

Blame the elf
Abajournal.com- A judge in the Philippines Supreme Court has asked a fired judge to quit making threats of “ungodly reprisal.” The judge was fired largely for his belief in the supernatural. Since his firing, the justices and families of the Supreme Court have suffered serious illnesses and car accidents. The fired judge, Florentino Floro Jr., claims he is assisted by three elves. The elf to blame for the mishaps is named “Luis” and is a “king of kings” and an avenger. He also claims the elves help him predict the future, but he has never consulted them in judicial issues.

Sane Judges See ‘Emanations’ and ‘Penumbras’
This “Best of the Web” summary featured in today’s WSJ Opinion Journal is funny enough, but when you consider the headline in the context of the story, it is off the charts:
Sane Judges See ‘Emanations’ and ‘Penumbras’
“A Philippine judge who claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs has asked for his job back after being sacked by the country’s Supreme Court,” Reuters reports from Manila: Floro was sacked last month and fined $780 (40,000 pesos) after a three-year investigation found he was incompetent, had shown bias in a case he was trying and had criticized court procedure, a ruling showed. He told investigators that three mystic dwarfs–Armand, Luis and Angel–helped him carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers.
So much for the little man getting his day in court!

A philippine judge and his belief in elves... THE TRIAD

Quote:
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. I wanted to bring this up because, eventhough I don't know what to think about this judge and his mixing of his personal beliefs with his job as a public officer, what I found odd was this simmilarity between the TRIAD forces he says he is in contact with, and what I have read in the books of Whitley Strieber.
Strieber talks about the visitors in the sense that many times they seem to operate by the rule of the triad: there's a positive force, a negative force, and a neutral that binds the other two, keeping the triad in constant equilibrium. In the novel The Grays, Strieber uses this rule to portray the characters of the aliens known as "the three bandits".

Stupid For Legal Purposes
Maybe the producers of Desperate Housewives aplogized too soon. Or maybe Phillipines medical elves are more benign than the legal ones.
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. 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.
When you ask the elf guy to call off his elves, you have unambiguously lost the argument about whether the elf guy is nuts for believeing in elves.

Dwarfed by justice
A judge in the Philippines was sacked by the Supreme Court in April after it became publicly known that he believed he had befriended three mystic dwarves in his chambers. Judge Florentino Floro recently failed in his appeal against a three-year inquiry which led to his removal from the bench, after a medical evaluation found him unfit to continue on the grounds of psychosis. “They should not have dismissed me for what I believed,” Floro said after lodging his appeal following his dismissal on “administrative grounds”.
Liberty and Prosperity
As Independent Director of Meralco, and counting all your wealth, fortunes and dire prosperity, I remember you Miggy, who gave your family so much joy, with the honors and medals earned from grade and high school. The confluence of events, these days, point to a rhyme, rhythm and impeccable comming to pass of the vengeance of the 3 mystic dwarves, ridiculed by the Davide, Panganiban and Puno Courts.
Yes, Mr. Chief Justice, the planet, the universe and the entire creation are only classified to the unseen and the visible: the light and darkness.
My 3 holy angels are not imaginary, and they are not ungodly. They were born at the time of the angels, and their sole mission is to annihilate evil, by putting stain in the bloods of evil up to the 4th generation. This is my vision: to take off from this world, all my enemies, detractors and more importantly, jurists, magistrates and honorable thieves, dambuhalang kagalang-galang na magnanakaw, na nagkukunwari - BALATKAYO, enjoying your PROPERITY, cherishing Davide's Temple of INJUSTICE, and siphoning PUNO's sword of Damocles.
COMELEC - How far can the CURSE spread?
The Commission on Appointments did not confirm his appointment due to opposition of some Commissioners led by Luzviminda Tancangco. On June 5, 2002 President Arroyo appointed Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman and former Mandaluyong City mayor Benjamin S. Abalos, Sr. to replace Benipayo.

Angioplasty
When Justice Benipayo signed the cursed July 20, 1999 suspension, he was operated Angioplasty on February 21, 2001, while my Investigator Justice Pedro A. Ramirez, who released his March 2000 Report declaring me INSANE, was rushed to St. Luke's Hospital and tranferred for angioplasty on the last quarter, 2003.
After cursing the COMELEC, Benipayo's Velma Cinco was gunned down on 20 November, 2002.
Fr. Rolando de La Rosa, O.P., UST, wrote in the Manila Bulletin: "Benipayo had chronic cough that bothered him for years. At first the best doctors thought the trouble was with his lungs. They found out later that it was his heart. He was suffering from CAD (coronary artery disease). His heart was clogged." On Feb. 21, 2001, Benipayo underwent angioplasty surgery 5 days after his appointment as Commission on Elections Chair.
On February 22, 2008, 3 p.m., Alfredo Benipayo (Dean of the faculty of civil law at the University of Santo Tomas) was hospitalized in Iloilo City's Saint Paul's Hospital. At the middle of his lecture before the Integrated Bar of the Philippines Iloilo Chapter in a hotel, he collapsed.
When my resume was brought to Chair Abalos by Nonoy, the neighbor and mentor of his Dr. Arsenio Abalos of Biyaheng Pinoy, Chair Abalos, rejected my plea for job, work and trabajo, since the S.C. Justices were so angry due to my Imprecation or Curse.
The old Comelec building was razed by fire on March 11, 2007, while Law Dept. Chief Dalaig and his successor Winie Asdala were both gunned down, after Rene Saguisag lost Dulce on November 8, 2007. ZTE broadband contract controversy did put the last curse and coffin nail to Abalos career.

‘Psychotic’ judge enlists help of dwarf-friends vs SC

Judge with 'spirit guide' earns Supreme Court's ire anew
Aug 10, 2007 - McClatchy Tribune Business News
Author(s): Jomar Canlas
Aug. 10--THE judge who was dismissed from service for believing in dwarfs which he called gabay (spirit guides) has earned the ire anew of the Supreme Court and is in danger of being cited for indirect contempt for his numerous pleadings which threaten he justices with "ungodly reprisals." In a 9-page per curiam resolution of the High Court, sitting en banc, the Court said it would no longer entertain the series of motions for reconsideration prayed by Judge Florentino Floro of Branch 73 of the Malabon Regional Trial Court to reinstate in o the service. The Court said the ruling separating him from the judiciary due to his "medically disabling condition of the mind" has already attained finality. Floro filed a series of motions reaching for reconsideration despite the clear provisions of the Rules of Court that "no second motion for reconsideration" is allowed. In its decision on March 31, 2006, the Court said, "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 of cor uption. However, the findings of psychosis by the mental health professionals assigned to his case indicate gross deficiency in competence and independence." Despite being sacked, the Court awarded Floro his salaries, allowances and other economic benefits for the past three years. But he was ordered to pay a fine of P40,000 for seven cases against him. In the medical examinations conducted by Supreme Court doctors, Floro admitted that he believed in "psychic visions." He said he has dwarf friends named Luis, Armand and Angel.
He claimed he could write while in a trance and could be in two places at th same time. Floro also likened himself to the "angel of death" who can hurt people especially corrupt court officials in Malabon. He also conducted healing sessions in his chamber during his break time. The Court advised Floro to look for other jobs in areas where he would be successful, but not in the judiciary. He was suspended indefinitely by the high court in 1999 after it upheld the recommendation of then-Court Administrator Alfredo Benipayo who conducted an audit of his sala. His violations were distributing cards containing his qualifications, declaring that he is pro-accused, ordering the mental and physical exam of an accused who he described as slow-witted (mahina ang pickup), openly criticizing the Rules of Court and th judiciary, among others. Floro was promoted to the RTC of Malabon by then President Joseph Estrada. He claimed that he was the one who predicted the stroke of Judicial and Bar Council member Teresita Cruz-Sison, the death of Supreme Court Justice Sabino de Leon and the ouster of Hernando Perez as secretary of justice, his teacher in Ateneo.
Second Open Letter to Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban
On April 2001, and June 2001, when I begged and knelt before JBC Ex-officio Members (Miriam Santiago, Companero Cayetano) and my Insurance and Crim. Proc. Ateneo Prof of 1979, 1982, DOJ Sec. Nani Perez, after 4 months of waiting, and after my classmates, his chief and vice chief of staff Lazatin and Veni Fule with Chona Dimayuga, and Amb. M. A. Teehankee, I faced Perez in his august DOJ chambers:
"Perez" - You know the President has no power to reinstate you!
"Dwarf Judge" - Sir, I am here to ask your 1 or 1/2 JBC vote for my Court of Appeals promotion since I got high grades in your insurance and crim. proc., topped the Bar Exams, 12th with 87.55% equivalent to 92% since only 21.3% passed and 70% of Ateneo and UP failed, and I got the record of 91% in Crim. Law Review, unbroken by 10 Ateneo Valedictorians since 1975-1985 ...
"Perez" - If you have a pending case, forget about it.
So, I cursed the day, the place and the room, and I promised not to return to that place until his fall.
Hospitalized on Dec. 17, 2001, due to gall bladder and severe diabetes, Perez politically fell, in his defeats - Batangas Governorship, DOJ post, etc.

Former Justice Secretary Hernando Perez, his wife Rosario and brother-in-law Ramon Arceo refused to enter their plea before the Sandiganbayan during yesterday’s arraignment over the $2-million robbery-extortion charge filed in 2001 against them by former Manila Rep. Mark Jimenez.
He also declared that Rosario Perez, who is undergoing medical treatment for cancer, would no longer be required to appear in future hearings.

He’s Unfit, But the Elves Are Fine
Speaking of the supernatural, a judge in the Philippines is appealing a decision by the country’s supreme court removing him from his job because, while on the bench, he frequently consulted three invisible elves--he calls them “Angel,” “Armand,” and “Luis.” The high court found him to be suffering from psychosis. Still, strange things have been happening-- including destruction by fire of the court’s crest and a spate of illness and accidents involving its members and their families. These led the court to ask the judge to “desist” in threatening “ungodly reprisal.” The judge blames elf Luis, the “avenger,” who he says wants to clean up corruption in the legal system. In finding the judge unfit to serve, the court noted he claimed not to rely on his elfin pals in deciding cases. “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,” the court wrote. That’s good news.

The Elf Hex [Jonah Goldberg]
By Odin's Raven:
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.

Blame the elf
Abajournal.com- A judge in the Philippines Supreme Court has asked a fired judge to quit making threats of “ungodly reprisal.” The judge was fired largely for his belief in the supernatural. Since his firing, the justices and families of the Supreme Court have suffered serious illnesses and car accidents. The fired judge, Florentino Floro Jr., claims he is assisted by three elves. The elf to blame for the mishaps is named “Luis” and is a “king of kings” and an avenger. He also claims the elves help him predict the future, but he has never consulted them in judicial issues.

This “Best of the Web” summary featured in today’s WSJ Opinion Journal is funny enough, but when you consider the headline in the context of the story, it is off the charts:
Sane Judges See ‘Emanations’ and ‘Penumbras’
“A Philippine judge who claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs has asked for his job back after being sacked by the country’s Supreme Court,” Reuters reports from Manila: Floro was sacked last month and fined $780 (40,000 pesos) after a three-year investigation found he was incompetent, had shown bias in a case he was trying and had criticized court procedure, a ruling showed. He told investigators that three mystic dwarfs–Armand, Luis and Angel–helped him carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers.
So much for the little man getting his day in court!

I wanted to bring this up because, eventhough I don't know what to think about this judge and his mixing of his personal beliefs with his job as a public officer, what I found odd was this simmilarity between the TRIAD forces he says he is in contact with, and what I have read in the books of Whitley Strieber.
Strieber talks about the visitors in the sense that many times they seem to operate by the rule of the triad: there's a positive force, a negative force, and a neutral that binds the other two, keeping the triad in constant equilibrium. In the novel The Grays, Strieber uses this rule to portray the characters of the aliens known as "the three bandits".

8-8-08 The CA Bribery Panel Investigation
I filed 2 pleadings: 82 pages and 82 pages - a) Intervention and b) Supplemental Disbarment Complaint against the CA Big 5 and included J. Edgardo Cruz, J. Martin Villarama, J. Sabio's 2 lawyer daughters Fides Angel "Bobbie" Sabio, Silvia Jo, and I will later add Midas Marquez.
I was shocked and flabbergasted that the 3 Panel investigation was and is being held in a petite room called S.C. training center, at the first floor of Centennial Bldg, Supreme Court, below the 2nd Flr. JBC, in front of PGH Hospital.
I thought it will be large enough like our Malolos Gym which is 1/10 of the Ateneo Gym. But, the room is good for just 100 persons.
When I filed the 2 pleadings with the Office of C.J. Reynato Puno, his P.S. - the most beautiful and "mabango" Jasmin Mateo (against whom I filed the administrative case I lost on 2007) peeped inside and was beside me. Every time I filed pleadings on fridays, Jasmin Mateo would surprisingly be beside me and my 3 dwarfs. Using Justice Sabio's "Deadma" not Tongpats, I snubbed Jasmin.
So, along the corridors of power, I also Deadma Justice Apolinario D. Bruselas, 3 times ... the final brush, when I was 5 inches off his body as I entered the Panel Room.
I stood up since there was no vacant chair. I was surprised when the Big 5 with some of their staff and 70% of the audience are composed of media-journalists. I was able to sit down during the break, and I wrote, luckily the words "Fides Angel "Bobbie" Sabio" the name of Justice Sabio's lawyer daughter against whom I filed the disbarment complaint as "Jane Doe."
As TV and Print media published: Justice Callejo scholarly scolded Justices Sabio, Vidal and Roxas due to word wars and incivility for lies, cover-up, name-dropping Fr. Bernas, boasting of daily recitation of the holy rosary, holy communion, Bible and rosary. It was a cheap atheist's soap opera.
Will you please all tell me then, why the public did not participate in the panel investigation amid the Trio's Order that the investigation was and is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and MEDIA, with no cameras (but the TRIO allowed cameras after hearing).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSIS-Meralco_bribery_case
The GSIS-Meralco bribery case, legally termed criminal obstruction of justice and malfeasance in office, is a political controversy and pending Supreme Court of the Philippines legal case, involving the P 10-million bribery attempt which allegedly involved a Manila Electric Company (Meralco) 'emissary' and Philippine Court of Appeals Justice Jose Sabio.
The "case-switching" scandal originated from Meralco and Government Service Insurance System (Philippines) row, after Sabio - in a letter-complaint against Justices Vicente Roxas and Bienvenido Reyes - revealed the attempted felony in consideration for him giving way to Reyes' chairmanship of the CA's Special 9th Division.
It has caught wide media coverage and has achieved political, international and judicial significance because of its very threat to the integrity and credibility of the Philippine judicial system. The corruption scandal forthwith caused the motu proprio assumption of jurisdiction over the issue, by the High Tribunal per its Chief Justice's rare agendum of an En Banc hearing and deliberation on August 6, 2008. The Senate of the Philippines' legislators, inter alia, called for speedy resolution of the issues.[4][5] The scandal engulfs the Judiciary and has uncloaked a dark, transactional periphery of the justice system.

“It is true that there is bribery in the appellate court,” the 88-year-old founder of the judiciary watchdog group Bantay Katarungan told the Inquirer. “It should be stopped. The bribery should be exposed. It should be the beginning of legal reforms in our system of justice.”
Preventive suspension
On Friday, a former Malabon City judge asked the Supreme Court to order the preventive suspension of all appellate court justices involved in the Meralco vs GSIS case. In a “verified complaint-letter affidavit,” Florentino Floro Jr. said these justices should be investigated for gross misconduct, gross ignorance of the law, manifest undue interest and violations of the Codes of Judicial Conduct and of Professional Responsibility, among others. Floro said the high court should once and for all “cleanse the entire Court of Appeals.” “The undersigned, in his conscience, knocks at the doors of this court, because of the shocking events which rocked the very foundations of our entire judicial system: CA justices accusing each other, not in courts, but in the media. This is too much. This is the darkest hour of the CA since its creation,” he said. Floro named as respondents in the case Sabio and Associate Justices Bienvenido Reyes, Apolinario Bruselas, Myrna Dimaranan-Vidal and Vicente Roxas, as well as CA Presiding Justice Conrado Vasquez Jr. He said the high court should appoint one of its retired associate justices as an independent investigator and a special prosecutor to look into the matter.
Headline maker
Floro himself made headlines when he was ordered dismissed from the judiciary in 2006 by the Supreme Court. The high court declared him mentally unfit after he admitted to having “psychic visions,” having dwarfs as friends and being an “angel of death” who could inflict pain on people, especially those he perceived to be corrupt. Undeterred, Floro filed cases against judiciary officials he claimed to have violated the law. In April 2007, he filed administrative charges against what he called the CA’s “Dirty Dozen,” whom he accused of corruption. He said those found guilty should be dismissed from government service and disbarred. With reports from Jerome Aning in Manila; Ma. Cecilia Rodriguez, Inquirer Mindanao

3-man panel created to look into CA bribery try
08/04/2008 | 03:45 PM
MANILA, Philippines - The Supreme Court on Monday created a three-man panel of retired justices that will investigate the bribery issue in connection to the Court of Appeals’ controversial ruling on the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) leadership row.
The panel, created during an en banc meeting of the high court, will be led by retired Justice Carol Griño-Aquino and has former Justices Flerida Ruth Romero and Romeo Callejo as members.
The panel will start its investigation on Thursday, August 7, and is expected to submit a report on or before Aug. 21.
"They will investigate the propriety of actions of the justices in the decisions of the Court of Appeals and also the allegations of the attempt to bribe a justice of the Court of Appeals," SC spokesman Midas Marquez said.
The appelate court, headed by Presiding Judge Conrado Vasquez Jr, turned over the case to SC after an en banc session last Thursday.
I filed 2 pleadings: 82 pages and 82 pages - a) Intervention and b) Supplemental Disbarment Complaint against the CA Big 5 and included J. Edgardo Cruz, J. Martin Villarama, J. Sabio's 2 lawyer daughters Fides Angel "Bobbie" Sabio, Silvia Jo, and I will later add Midas Marquez.
I was shocked and flabbergasted that the 3 Panel investigation was and is being held in a petite room called S.C. training center, at the first floor of Centennial Bldg, Supreme Court, below the 2nd Flr. JBC, in front of PGH Hospital.
I thought it will be large enough like our Malolos Gym which is 1/10 of the Ateneo Gym. But, the room is good for just 100 persons.
When I filed the 2 pleadings with the Office of C.J. Reynato Puno, his P.S. - the most beautiful and "mabango" Jasmin Mateo (against whom I filed the administrative case I lost on 2007) peeped inside and was beside me. Every time I filed pleadings on fridays, Jasmin Mateo would surprisingly be beside me and my 3 dwarfs. Using Justice Sabio's "Deadma" not Tongpats, I snubbed Jasmin.
So, along the corridors of power, I also Deadma Justice Apolinario D. Bruselas, 3 times ... the final brush, when I was 5 inches off his body as I entered the Panel Room.
I stood up since there was no vacant chair. I was surprised when the Big 5 with some of their staff and 70% of the audience are composed of media-journalists. I was able to sit down during the break, and I wrote, luckily the words "Fides Angel "Bobbie" Sabio" the name of Justice Sabio's lawyer daughter against whom I filed the disbarment complaint as "Jane Doe."
As TV and Print media published: Justice Callejo scholarly scolded Justices Sabio, Vidal and Roxas due to word wars and incivility for lies, cover-up, name-dropping Fr. Bernas, boasting of daily recitation of the holy rosary, holy communion, Bible and rosary. It was a cheap atheist's soap opera.
Will you please all tell me then, why the public did not participate in the panel investigation amid the Trio's Order that the investigation was and is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and MEDIA, with no cameras (but the TRIO allowed cameras after hearing).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSIS-Meralco_bribery_case
The GSIS-Meralco bribery case, legally termed criminal obstruction of justice and malfeasance in office, is a political controversy and pending Supreme Court of the Philippines legal case, involving the P 10-million bribery attempt which allegedly involved a Manila Electric Company (Meralco) 'emissary' and Philippine Court of Appeals Justice Jose Sabio.
The "case-switching" scandal originated from Meralco and Government Service Insurance System (Philippines) row, after Sabio - in a letter-complaint against Justices Vicente Roxas and Bienvenido Reyes - revealed the attempted felony in consideration for him giving way to Reyes' chairmanship of the CA's Special 9th Division.
It has caught wide media coverage and has achieved political, international and judicial significance because of its very threat to the integrity and credibility of the Philippine judicial system. The corruption scandal forthwith caused the motu proprio assumption of jurisdiction over the issue, by the High Tribunal per its Chief Justice's rare agendum of an En Banc hearing and deliberation on August 6, 2008. The Senate of the Philippines' legislators, inter alia, called for speedy resolution of the issues.[4][5] The scandal engulfs the Judiciary and has uncloaked a dark, transactional periphery of the justice system.

Heart Attack - 8-7-08
http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/net/2008/...eralco.row.html
Justice Bienvenido L. Reyes was on leave after he suffered a seizure August 7, Thursday evening. He was brought to the intensive care unit of the Capitol Medical Center in Quezon City for "valvular heart disease, secondary to rheumatic heart disease; mitral regurgitation; and aortic stenosis."
Reyes's attending physician, Dr. Francisco Lukban, however, declared him stable.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valvular_heart_disease
Valvular heart disease is any disease process involving one or more of the valves of the heart (the aortic and mitral valves on the left and the pulmonary and tricuspid valves on the right). Valve problems may be congenital (inborn) or acquired (due to another cause later in life). Treatment may be with medication but often (depending on the severity) involves valve repair or replacement (insertion of an artificial heart valve). Specific situations include those where additional demands are made on the circulation, such as in pregnancy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_stenosis
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a valvular heart disease caused by the incomplete opening of the aortic valve.
The aortic valve controls the direction of blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. When in good working order, the aortic valve does not impede the flow of blood between these two spaces. Under some circumstances, the aortic valve becomes narrower than normal, impeding the flow of blood. This is known as aortic valve stenosis, or aortic stenosis, often abbreviated as AS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheumatic_heart_disease
Rheumatic fever is an autoimmune inflammatory disease which may develop after a Group A streptococcal infection (such as strep throat or scarlet fever) and can involve the heart, joints, skin, and brain. It commonly appears in children ages 6 through 15.
