Now Cadio is showing greater interest in blogs as a vehicle for information dissemination. He has hired a mercenary to put up a counter-blog against Pavia Watch, Diskartidor and Boy Mejorada. And of course, Boboy Syjuco. This is great for democracy. What has happened is that in the past two days, the “hits” of this blog rose to a record average of 50 a day. That means 50 people are viewing this blog every day and opening the documents showing the grand theft committed by Cadio nine years ago. Thanks for the advertisement. Keep it up Cattleya.
Cadio’s mouthpiece complains about the “campaign to destroy” the super mayor. A little lecture is in order here. You Cattleya, no amount of muckraking can destroy a person if the issues thrown are falsehoods and lies. This has been proven in the case of Gov. Tupas and Boy Mejorada who survived the relentless attacks of Novie Guazo and Rhod Tecson for over four years now. Nobody could dispute that Bombo Radyo was an effective vehicle for spreading information, good or bad. But Tupas easily won the 2004 and 2007 elections, posting the biggest margin of victory in Iloilo politics. In the end, truth will triumph.
In the case of the Panay Fed affair, what is being presented here is the ugly side of a person who markets himself as a super clean and super good politician. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Cadio stole P1.3 million from Panay Fed, and he would have gotten away with it had it not been for a super efficient accounting system in the organization. In fact, when it was first brought up at a board meeting, Cadio kept quiet and pretended not to know anything about it. It was only when Ely Bagtasus presented the receipts that found its way into this blog that he reluctantly pleaded guilty.
But even after he agreed to restitute the money, and issued two post-dated checks, Cadio still had the gall to commit yet another felony — he broke into the Panay Fed offices and stole the second check. Too bad for him, the office watch man saw him and reported the incident. What Cadio did was replace the stolen check with several smaller amounts spread over one year.
Atty. Aloysius de la Cruz wasn’t exactly lying when he said that Cadio was “cleared of all obligations” with Panay Fed. That’s only because the whole amount was paid up — after a year.
If Cadio could do this as a private individual, this blog is just raising questions about how he would behave now that he is the mayor of Pavia. Has he changed his ways? Has he repented his sins of the past and walked down a straight path of honesty and integrity? It’s that simple. It’s not about Syjuco or Boy Mejorada or Governor Tupas or Mayor Boboy Tupas. This is a valid concern, and I’m suspicious about Cadio because he’s been trying to bury the documents and the incident. He could not even tell the public that the story is a falsehood. He cannot even tell us that the documents posted here are forgeries.
The whole affair betrays a serious character flaw in Cadio Gorriceta.
Meanwhile, I’m enjoying the newfound popularity of this blog. I’ll keep my readers entertained and informed about the truth. As Cattleya may have noticed, this blog sticks only to issues that have documentary basis. No “tsismis”.
