Nasa radar na pala ng FBI at US Dept of Homeland Security si Gina O. Reyes ng Marinduque

2 US agencies asked to probe disqualified bet in Marinduque

Manila Bulletin – Sun, May 12, 2013

A congressional candidate in Marinduque earlier disqualified by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) is now in the radar of United States federal authorities over alleged discrepancies in her Philippine and US travel documents.

This came after the United States Department of Homeland Security (USDHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were asked to investigate the issuance of a US passport to Regina Ongsiako Reyes.

In his letters to the two US agencies, Pepito Vergara, of Bagumbayan in Quezon City, said that official Philippine government records showed that "Reyes possesses a US passport with No. 306278853 and that she had been repeatedly using the same to enter and exit the Philippines."
Reyes is the daughter of Marinduque Governor Carmencita Reyes and the sister of former congressman Edmundo Reyes Jr.

"Interestingly, Ms. Reyes' date of birth as stated in her US passport is indicated as 03 July 1959, while her date of birth in her Philippine passport is indicated as 03 July 1964," Vergara said in his letters dated May 3.

He pointed out that records from the civil registry of Manila and from the Philippine National Statistics Office showed that Reyes' full name is Regina Victoria Hyacinth Ongsiako Reyes, born of Filipino parents in the City of Manila on July 3, 1958.

Last March 27, the Comelec's First Division cancelled Reyes' certificate of candidacy (COC) for being an American citizen and for lack of the one-year residency for candidates to an elective office.

The Comelec decision stemmed from the petition filed by Joseph Tan, a resident of Torrijos, Marinduque, to cancel Reyes' certificate of candidacy for making several false representations in her COC.

In its 13-page decision, the Comelec First Division ruled that Reyes is an American citizen based on the certificate issued by the Bureau of Immigration detailing Reyes' use of a U.S passport since 2005.

"Unless and until she can establish that she had availed of the privileges of Republic Act 9225 by becoming a dual Filipino-American citizen, and thereafter, made a valid sworn renunciation of her American citizenship, she remains to be an American citizen and is, therefore, ineligible to run for and hold any elective public office in the Philippines," a Comelec resolution stated.

Regina O. Reyes diniskwalipika na ng Korte Suprema

Nanalong kongresista sa Marinduque, diniskwalipika ng SC

• Tuluyang diniskwalipika ng Supreme Court (SC) ang nanalong kandidato sa pagka-kongresista sa Marinduque na si Regina Ongsiako Reyes.

 Mula sa bomboradyo.com

Batay sa en banc session ng SC, ibinasura nito ang "petition for certiorari" na inihain ni Reyes kung saan hiniling nito na pigilan ang ginawang pagdiskwalipika sa kaniya ng Comelec sa pagtakbo sa nakalipas na halalan.

Sa botong 7-4-3, mayorya sa mga mahistrado sa pangunguna ni Justice Jose Perez ang nagsabing walang naging pag-abuso sa panig ng Comelec.

Apat sa kanila ang nagsabi na dapat atasan muna ang Comelec na magkomento sa petisyon bago desisyunan ang kaso, habang ang tatlong iba pang mahistrado ay nag-inhibit kabilang na sina Justices Jose Mendoza, Estela Perlas-Bernabe at Presbitero Velasco.

Si Velasco ay tatay ni incumbent Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco na nakalaban naman ni Reyes sa eleksyon.

Noong Mayo, pinal na nagdesisyon ang Comelec na idiskwalipika ang kandidatura ni Reyes dahil siya raw ay American citizen.

Hindi matuwid at harap-harapang mga paglabag sa batas

Marinduque board of canvassers defies comelec

In what is described as a brazen defiance and blatant disregard of the power and authority of the Comelec En Banc, the Provincial Board of Canvassers of Marinduque --- composed of Regional Director Emmanuel Ignacio (who replaced Provincial Election Supervisor Edwin Villa), Prosecutor Bimbo Mercado and Magdalena Lim -- proclaimed candidate Regina O. Reyes as the elected representative of the lone district of Marinduque Saturday afternoon at Boac, Marinduque.

Re-electionist Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Jay Q. Velasco protested the proclamation and denouncing it as “highly irregular, illegal and premature” in view of the May l4, 20l3 ruling.

Velasco, son of Supreme Court Associate Justice Presbitero Velasco, stressed the PBOC should have suspended the proclamation in the meantime to await the Supreme Court’s action on the challenged resolution.

The Comelec issued a resolution  last May l4, denying with finality the motion for reconsideration of Reyes of the March 27, 2013 Resolution finding her to be a U.S. citizen and ineligible for the position of representative.

Reyes admitted she did not avail of Republic Act. No. 9225 for the reacquisition of Philippine citizenship.

Velasco sought the annulment of Reyes’ proclamation for being null and void and without any legal and constitutional basis since Reyes is not qualified for the position.

Velasco vowed to take necessary legal actions against the “highly anomalous and premature”proclamation of Reyes.

Velasco said Marinduqueños are bewildered by Reyes’ proclamation since the PBOC is under the Comelec En Banc and is required to comply with and obey all resolutions and orders of the Commission.

Kulay ng pera sa Marinduque na kulay mandin ng panglilinlang

Mar Roxas at Gina Reyes pagkatapos ng iligal at kontrobersiyal na proklamasyon. 

Panay at hindi matapos-tapos ang pagmamalaki ni Regina O. Reyes na prinoklama ng PBOC Provincial Board of Canvassers bilang nanalo sa Kongreso. Ito ay sa kabila ng pagkansela sa kandidatura niya ng Comelec En Banc at sa kabila ng mga usap-usapan na binayaran ng milyones ang PBOC na may kasama pang pananakot. Bakit po anung yabang?

Hawak daw nila si DILG Sec. Mar Roxas, dahil kaibigan daw ng pamilya lalo na ng kapatid na Edmund at kaya raw tapalan ng salapi si Mar Roxas para sa 2016, kasabay ng pagpapalabas ng larawan nina Roxas at Reyes matapos ang proklamasyon na naga-V sign. Nasa larawan ngani naman.

SALN NI CARMENCITA O. REYES

Panay pa rin ang pagyabang ng Reyes camp na sako-sakong salapi mula sa BARRICK GOLD lamang ang kapalit ng ano mang naisin nila. Kung tutuusin nga naman sa SALN ni Gov. Carmencita Reyes ang sabi niya ay P 17.7-million lamang ang kanyang salapi at pag-aari. Paanong nangyaring sa tantiya ng mga mas nakakaalam na mga pulitiko sa Marinduque at base sa pagmamayabang ng mga Reyes ay gumastos sila ng hindi bababa sa P 200-million noong nakaraang eleksyon para sa pamili ng botos? 

Saan nga naman nanggaling ang salaping talamak na pinambili? DOLLARS DAW ang padala galing Canada. Bawal ang ganyan lalo. Mismong ang SIMBAHAN sa HOMILY ng mga pari pag Linggong MISA nitong mga nakaraang linggo ay sunod-sunod ang pagtatanong. Bakit anila "mas pinili ng mga taga-Marinduque ang PITONG DAAN kaysa sa MATUWID NA DAAN"? Libo pa ngani sa iba.

Si Regina O. Reyes na isinuplong ng County of Ventura sa State of California dahilan sa pag-abandona at hindi pagsuporta sa kanyang anak sa America ay may milyon-milyon kayang baon mula sa Amerika na pambili ng boto? Sa Barrick Gold nga kaya galing yaon katulad ng pagmamayabang nila? 

Sa harap naman ng daan-daang estudyante at magulang nila na isinagawa kanina laang sa Boac Covered Court para sa Scholarship program ng Reyes daw, na sa pananaw ng mga nakasaksi ay pampolitikang rally, ay ipinagsigawan na wala si Regina (Gina) sa Marinduque dahil diumano ay kapulong nito sina PANGULONG NOYNOY AQUINO at SPEAKER BELMONTE ng KONGRESO SA MGA ORAS NA IYON! 

Pag-gamit na ng mga pangalan yaan mandin na mas malamang sa hindi ay hindi rin totoo at ni hindi alam ng kinauukulan! 

Ilang beses na bagang ipinangako ng mga Reyes noong panahon ng kampanya na 'madating si Mar Roxas', 'madating si Pnoy para itaas ang kamay ni Gina'. Wala namang dumating..

Awan laang kung mapayag na magpagamit lao't higit magpatapal ng salapi ang dalawang iginagalang at inapagpitaganang mga taong kanilang PINANGALANAN para paupuin lamang sa puwesto ang isang KUMPIRMADONG AMERICAN CITIZEN!

Hindi wari kasama yun sa mga prinsipyo ng MATUWID NA DAAN. Mapayag ka baga naman? Ay anu na sa Marinduque!
