By: Modesto P. Sa-onoy BEFORE I proceed, let me just note the two events last week related to the continuing Yanson family feud. One was the dismissal of the injunction case filed by the Yanson 4, and second, the criminal case filed by two people against the children of the Yanson 4. These events are

By: Modesto P. Sa-onoy ROBERT Richie of America Needs Fatima sent me on September 27 a request that this catechesis be shared with as many people as possible. I had devoted a considerable number of columns on the Holy Eucharist because of the waning understanding and respect of Catholics on this fundamental doctrine of the

By: Modesto P. Sa-onoy THE public transport strike last Monday caused great harm to people and businesses, but it did not paralyze the country as the organizers had hoped. In Bacolod many jeeps plied their routes and traffic was at a snail’s pace as usual. To this extent, the stoppage of public transport failed to

By: Modesto P. Sa-onoy I AM not referring to the Philippine Medical Association but to the top military training center of the Philippines, the Philippine Military Academy. The image of the academy had for several years now been tarnished by cadets with killer instincts disguised as enforcing an archaic academy code that has no place

By: Modesto P. Sa-onoy YESTERDAY, I wrote that the requests for millions of funds by the Manila Purchasing Office began the month after the death of Ricardo B. Yanson, the founder of this privately owned largest public transportation company in the Philippines, if not in Asia. The company president was Leo Rey and he had,

By: Modesto P. Sa-onoy NOW we know that documents point to Rey Repollo and Rowena Sarona to be the two signatories of all checks issued by the Manila Purchasing Office of Vallacar Transit Inc. To recall, Repollo was usually out of the office so that he pre-signed the company checks and left it to Sarona

By: Modesto P. Sa-onoy THE search for answers on how a large amount of money could have disappeared has become the ball in the table tennis game in the Yanson family feud. Who should explain? The Yanson 4 group demanded that Leo Rey should explain while the matriarch Olivia wanted Celina Yanson to do that.

By: Modesto P. Sa-onoy The Catholic Church doctrine, the communion of saints, says that the faithful on earth can help the departed by their prayers as those in heaven pray for those still on earth. I am sharing the stories from testimonies of Padre Pio, sent to me by John Ritchie of America Needs Fatima,

By: Modesto P. Sa-onoy FOURTEEN out of sixty-one barangays in Bacolod are 100% compliant of the order to remove all illegal obstructions, so declared Mayor Evelio Leonardia. Is that so? Did he go around these barangays or at least his close aide with a keen eye of observation of what illegal obstructions are? Or did

By: Modesto P. Sa-onoy “Do not blame government because this is a free market…We are a member of the World Trade Organization,” President Rodrigo Duterte told owners of sugar mills and plantations Thursday night. As a member of the WTO, the Philippines can export to other countries and they can import to us, the president,

By: Modesto P. Sa-onoy IT APPEARS unusual that a president of a company can be given so much power to dispense funds without having to explain the expenditures. No matter how liberal and generous the board is the most important fact is that there must be a record of every disbursement. Intelligence funds or money

By: Modesto P. Sa-onoy Before we examine the documents related to this money, I think that the issues in the company are being diverted to the search for it when the real issues are the legality of the composition of the Board of Directors of Vallacar Transit, Inc. and the control of the company.
