so, the brain in your head tells you that possessing properties is a violation of ethics AND a criminal offense? (How do you define possession anyway? If it’s in a company, well theres nothing really criminal about that. Did I need to clear that up?)

Why would anyone in their right mind divest their properties if in the first place, they obtained it fair and square?

Even in referencing “ethics rules”, you are coming from a subjective interpretation of a loosely established concept of “ethics” or “ethics rules”. It seems you don’t even know what those are. In fact, it seems you’re just calling out terms out of nowhere for convenience.

Because if there is anything ethical or criminal about it, they won’t be fussing over C-5 insertions and whatnot but the mere possession of the whole of Villar’s properties. Hell, he might not be able to take a seat in the Senate nor become Senate president previously if those were tackled.

And I won’t even ask about the “laws” you are talking about.

I have to ask you this because people would think you are spewing out absolute, authentic, facts and not some random half-truths and/or downright lies just to gain favor. I respect your contribution but I find it hard to tolerate lies and false information.

I may be wrong but I will have to apologize later. I am seeking the truth myself.

Tama ka “Kaya nga dapat mas mababa na valuation ang ginamit para kahit maliit ang tax maliit din ang presyo na babayaran ng gobyerno”

Kasi baliktad ang mundo pag nandyan si Villar. C5 at Taga nga

MB,

What gets me is that at the end of the day, after wasting time(is it really wasting time, though, if these politicians just run around looking at what benefits them anyway?) investigating this whole political morass, no one will be found truly guilty and punished. The issues will be muddled so much and so that nothing will come out of it. Folks who will lose political capital this time around will come back next election and will be able to worm their way back into office like nothing happened at all.
Clearly, Bacod did something wrong. She had to have acted with malice because no accountant or lawyer would have been so DUMB and STUPID.

The fact that Vilaar has not divested himself of the properties is not only a violations of ethics rules it is also a criminal offense against laws prohibiting such practices

Riza,

Ganun? Hahaha.

And I guess the municipal CARP officer who converted CARP lands that Villar turned into subdivisions was also acting without any prompting from Villar.

supremo,

siempre mas maliit kasi yun tax ay sa ganansya ng may-ari ng lupa. Kung yun tax ay kasing laki ng binayad sa lupa eh confiscation of property ang tawag dyan kasi walang napala yun may ari ng lupa.

Naintindihan ko MB na mas mataas nga ang capital gains tax ng 30k sa 20k o 10k. Pero ang makokolekta na tax ay kulang pa na pambayad sa lupain na binili.

There is a great difference in using other people’s
money to become rich with their consents. And using
other people’s money (tax money) without their consent to become a Billionaire. Then, using the earned money to become their President. “Gigisahin tayo sa ating sariling mantika”! What a lousy way to deceive people!

The valuation is BIR’s decision, not Villar’s. He couldn’t have ordered that.
