The plot thickens.
The man tagged as the blogger who came out with the bogus psychological report about Sen. Noynoy Aquino is denying any role in manufacturing the fake report bearing the signature of Ateneo priest, Dr. Tito Caluag.
Atty Ariel Radovan told on-line friends :
I am a lawyer not a doctor. Kung court records pa I could make research pero medical records pa of a well known personality where on earth I would dig (sic) that. If it is court records well and good.
But, medical records of a well known personality, not my type. The picture there (with Sen. Loren Legarda) was taken pa 2004 during FPJ campaign, so it was spliced and painted on the article.
Radovan was directly asked about the bogus psych report:
Radovan said he suspected former Justice Secretary Devanadera of involvement in the brouhaha:
Examine the contents (of the blog written by political writer Patricio Mangubat), the personalities being attacked is my forger boss Gov. (Willy) Enverga (of Quezon) and his son Cong Enverga. I suspect the green camp of former GOJ Secretary Devanadera is behind all of this to discredit my boz Cong Mar through me.
On the ‘psych’ document, Radovan says:
San nga ako kukuha ng ganyan. Ginamit lang ako. Read the article in full and see who is being attacked. bakit ko pagkakaabalahan an med records ni Noynoy eh am not privy to his state of health from the time he was born. In all my political life in association with my bosses sanay na ako na ginagamit.
Here, the only thing that was so funny was the way I am used to malign somebody of a national stature whose primary target was the father and son.
Taking his claims at face value, another angle surfaces – the Radovan’s suspicion that this is the handiwork of people supporting the administration candidate Gilbert ‘Gibo’ Teodoro.
The lawyer makes no reference about suspicions that he is an operator of the Nacionalista Party of Sen. Manny Villar.
The brouhaha is far from over, it seems.
From Mr. Radovan also comes this missive to yours truly:
I respect you as a journalist and the respect remains. I am just surprised why a probinsyano -based lawyer would be USED to malign somebody of a national stature. There are so many sophisticated manila based political operators who have sterling credentials from ivy league university destined by fate to do harm on fellow humans so why pick on me.
If I were to redirect you on the piece of that trash article, you will note through a meticulous study that while I am bannered in the headline which will surely catch fire, the real target of the innuendoes are my political bosses – former gov. enverga and his son, Cong. Mark Enverga. The contents would not lie…it traces allegedly the conflict between the Tanadas and the Enverga from way back due to electoral exercise.
It is a matter of local politics. Why? Who will benefit? I surmise it came from the woodworks and intelligence apparatus of the green camp of former Sec Agnes Devanadera who is rating poorly in the congressional race against Cong. Enverga here in the first district of Quezon.
The psych report is only a collateral issue to attract readers on the on going political exercise at my expense.
In law, he who accuse somebody rest the burden of proof. I can’t offer any explanation as I am not the source of that report. Napaka bobo ng gumawa ng script na ito. Sorry to say. Pang showbiz lang ito.
Thanks kuya Ding.
What should we make of this? It appears to me Mr. Radovan has be instructed to clear the NP by invoking local politics in Quezon is the cause of this brouhaha.
Oh brother.

Bogus report brings psycho issue to fore

Spy-versus-Spy contra-black-propaganda maneuvers.
People really like MAD magazine, heh heh heh.
Read this. You know Belinda is pro GMA right?
That’s the trouble with the Cunanantic. After making a fool of herself too often, who’s to take her seriously now?
But yeah, if I were Villar and my propaganda corp would commit such so outrageous a mistake on Fr. Caluag, I will kill them myself.
Bel is for anyone who happens to be in power at any given point in time.
“boy who cried wolf”… a lesson about Bel?
Ding,
Whew, this has all the stench of Nixonian political tricks . . . and denials. The truth is about somewhere, but all the rumor-mongering, diversions, denials, accusations, suspicions muddy the water and make it likely that no one will know until after the elections, a short three weeks from now.
I suppose it would not be polite for a foreigner to opine on who is crazier, Mr. Aquino or Mr. Villar or Mr. Estrada, as all seem a tad detached from precise reality, truth, and honor to me. So I’ll keep my yap shut and watch this delightful unfurling of loyalties from afar. I’m glad it has nothing to do with the Nicole affair, which was similarly dirt in the wind.
Regards,
Joe
Joe Am: the Nicole affair was tried both in the court of public opinion as well as officially with testimony and evidence heard by Pilipinas judges.
hay, this is why everyone should just drop this.
everyone will deny — of course they’ll deny!
its hard to prove any of it, and the people who might have chance to prove it will never try. Why should they?
can we just move on? (or is this speculation just a lot of fun, so no one wants to let go of anything?)
That almost sounds like a memo.
“is this speculation just a lot of fun?”
NO
from where i am, it seems everyone is having a ball figuring out this “mystery”. everyone’s having fun, which is fine i guess.
its enough to know that someone is trying to derail talking about issues by talking about this stupid psych report.
i think aquino is correct; lets just forget it and get back to the issues.
Ding,
Does this Radovan clown also deny that he put up a blog-site in a flurry so he could post the bogus report?
I have no idea.
the cache pages retrieved by baycas “say” that the PoliticAmateur blogsite was operating at least as far back as Feb 22, 2010.
Now, maybe the attorney can be “encouraged” to forward to his Facebook buddies the e-mail he said was his source for the 3-page psycho-profile report.
The Archives list a “January 2010” link.
This is the farthest I was able to retrieve so far:
“Tamad or Clueless?,” posted January 27, 2010
I was out of range (no internet access) the past few days enjoying the long weekend (with extension!) and still The Fake One is still up in this blog?
Anyway, even Google still has tons of The Fake One’s reflections in its cache. Read through some of his energetic (red) and happy (yellow) writings:
“And the Black Propaganda Backfires…Palpak to the Max!!!,” February 22, 2010
“Naging Mahirap: Twitching Shoulders and the Banyera,” March 13, 2010
“Presidentiable Tantrums? A Yellow Parade?,” March 25, 2010
“Mahirap Tanggapin Na Mahirap si Villar? Ano Pang BASURA ang itatapon nila?,” March 30, 2010
…and his final post before he took down his blog:
“Noynoy’s Medical Record?,” April 8, 2010
…The Fake One’s posts reeks of orange (red + yellow) stench…the Villar kind.
reek only, w/o “s.”

‘di kagad nag-appear ang google cache (ng april 8 post ni politicalamateur) noong april 9. how many days kaya nila inaa-upload?
You found the cache!!!
I have it from unimpeachable sources that Manny V. Pangilinan is the source of the fake report.
Hahaha, you joker you, Nash. Went to your blog tuloy :)
Poor Noynoy Aquino. Psyched out and Booged Down. Sister Kris Aquino cannot help.She is thinking for another Serial Husband…What a good time for humor. Our elections are comedy skits, played by real politicians. Some are real actors and actresses. Ah, Pobre Filipinas…The largest Slave Labor source of the world. Before, it was Africa. Now it is the Philippines. We should send all Politicians as OFWs…
