• MR. FRANCISCO. Ang ibig hong sabihin nito noong taong 2004 may request iyong opisina ni Senador
Manny Villar ng halagang P30 million para pondohan itong construction of the Las Piñas-Parañaque
Link Road. Tama po ba?
• MS. DOBLON. Yes.” (TSN dated 08 September 2009, 9:46 a.m., p. 7)
• xxx xxx
• “MS. DOBLON. 2004, Construction of Las Piñas-Parañaque Link Road, including raw acquisition:
Parañaque City, 16 million, DPWH NCR; date received by DBM, April 12, 2005.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Tama po ba na lumalabas na noong taong 2004, batay dito sa inyong summary, ay
dalawang beses nag request ang opisina ni Senator Manny Villar ng pondo para pondohan itong Las
Piñas-Parañaque Link Road sa halagang P30 million at P16 million?
• xxx xxx
• MS. DOBLON. 2003, road construction, concreting of Las Piñas-Parañaque Link Road, Quirino Avenue
to A. Santos Avenue: Las Piñas City and Parañaque City, amount P15 million; implementing agency,
DPWH, Region NCR; date received by the DBM, 12-23-2003.
• MR. FRANCISCO. So, ang ibig hong sabihin nito, in 2003, may panibagong request ang
opisina ni Senador Manny Villar para pondohan ng P15 million itong road construction,
paggawa ng kalsada sa Las Piñas-Parañaque Link Road to Quirino Avenue to A. Santos
Avenue, tama po ba?
• MS. DOBLON. Road construction, concreting of Las Piñas. Yes, Your Honor.

• MS. DOBLON. 2002, slope protection for Las Piñas-Parañaque Link Road at creek
bounding Las Piñas City and Parañaque City and including removal of illegal structure;
location Las Piñas City and Parañaque City, amount 15,500,000, DPWH-NCR, date
received by DBM, September 16, 2002.
• xxx xxx
• MR. FRANCISCO. Okay. Pero ang ibig ho ninyong sabihin na sa taong 2002 ay dalawang
beses nag-request iyong opisina ni Senador Manny Villar ng halagang P15,500,000 para
sa slope protection ng sapa, pagsaayos ng sapa ng Las Piñas-Parañaque Link Road at
iyong pagtatanggal ng mga illegal structures, na sa palagay ko ay tumutukoy sa
informal settlers.
• MS. DOBLON. Based on the summary and which I have read in front of this Committee,
there are two requests for 2002.
• xxx xxx
• MR. FRANCISCO. So batay ho dito sa summary na ginawa ninyo, from year 2002 to
2006, mayroon kayong nakitang anim na requests o kahilingan ng opisina ni Senador
Manny Villar para pondohan ang Las Piñas-Parañaque Link Road, at itong pondong ito
ay may kabuuang halaga na P102 million. Tama ho ba?
• MS. DOBLON. Yes. Your Honor.” (TSN dated 08 September 2009, 9:56 a.m., pp. 3-7;
emphasis supplied)
Villar called Doblon to take note of his
insertion in the 2008 National Budget
including the P200M for the Las Pinas-
Paranaque Link Road
• “MR. FRANCISCO. 2007. At sinabi ninyo na nakatanggap kayo ng
tawag mula sa opisina ni Senator Manny Villar, mga anong buwan o
petsa po ba ito?
• MS. DOBLON. Im sorry but I can no longer remember the date but that
must be in the latter part of November.
• xxx xxx
• MR. FRANCISCO. Can you state to the records where did this line item
that you mentioned originate?
• MS. DOBLON. It was a proposed amendment submitted to the
Committee — It was a proposed amendment relayed to the
Committee on Finance by the Office of Senator Villar.” (TSN dated 25
August 2009, 10:38 a.m., pp. 5-7)
• “MR. FRANCISCO. At pagdating naman po dito sa mga national officials na sinabi ninyo
tulad ng mga senador at congressmen ay tumutulong din sila na maisakatuparan iyong
mga proyekto na kung saan sila ang mga project proponents, di po ba?
• MR. TAYAO. Tama po.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Oo. At kasama sa pagtulong nila, kung kakayanin nila ay ang
magbigay ng pondo para sa mga proyektong ito, di po ba?
• MR. TAYAO. Magre-request po sila sa DBM. Ire-recommend nila iyong kailangan ng
DPWH para maisakatuparan ang proyekto.
• THE CHAIRMAN. At panay raw land ‘yan, panay raw land ‘yang lupa na ‘yan.
• MR. TAYAO. Raw land po lahat ito.
• xxx xxx
• MR. FRANCISCO. What was the reaction of Secretary Ebdane when he learned about this redundant P200
million item in the 2008 budget?
• MR. TAYAO. Ang pagkadinig ko po noon, sabi n’ya “Hindi ika natin problema iyan.” Meaning, hindi naming
alam. The DPWH doesn’t know about the 200 million, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. So, you did not request the office of Senator Manny Villar or Senator Manny Villar to fund
an additional 200 million for the C-5 Road Extension Project?
• MR. TAYAO. As far as I know, wala po kasi alam na namin mayroong 200 million. The 200 million is
included as part of the ceiling of the DPWH. Mayroon po kasing corresponding ceiling kada departamento.
In the case of NCR, binigyan po kami ng ceiling na ganon lang so we will not exceed – we cannot exceed
with that ceiling. The 200 million po ang kasama.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Noong sinasabi mong -- sinabi ni Secretary Ebdane, “Problema na nila ‘yon,” ano ang
ibig mong sabihin?
• MR. TAYAO. Ang ibig ko hong sabihin, ang sabi ni Secretary inasmuch as hindi naman po niya alam ‘yan
from the very start, maybe ‘yong — actually para bang bicam po yata ‘yong nabanggit pa niya, eh.
• SEN. LACSON. Noong malaman na ninyo sa departamento na redundant na yong pangalawang 200
million kasi nga nagpe-pertain ito - nagre-refer sa parehong kalye, ano po ang ginawa niyo doon sa
-- kasi nandoon na sa budget, eh. Ano’ng nangyari doon sa pangalawang 200 million?
• MR. TAYAO. Hindi po na-release, Your Honor, the 200. The second 200 million hindi po na-release.
So, ang ginawa ng NCR, mayroon po aming alam na natatandaan ko, we make the necessary
request for possible modification of that 200 million pero hindi naman po nag-materialize ‘yon,
Your Honor.
• SEN. LACSON. So, ‘yong request ninyo sa DBM, na ‘yong redundant 200 million na appropriation ay
ma-modify, mapunta sa ibang proyekto hindi rin na-release ‘yon?
• MR. TAYAO. Hindi rin po Your Honor.
• SEN. LACSON. So that would confirm na talagang doble ang appropriation sa iisang proyekto.
• MR. TAYAO. Parang ganon na nga — parang ganon na nga po. That’s why we made the
representation to make the necessary modification, Your Honor.
• SEN. LACSON. What do you mean “parang ganon na nga po”? Ganon na nga o parang ganon
lang?
• MR. TAYAO. Ganon nga ...
• MR. FRANCISCO. Now, can you go over this portion of this map pertaining to Las Piñas City and point to the Honorable
Committee the location of the Golden Haven Memorial Park?
• MR. TAYAO: Here is the location of the Golden Haven, Your Honor.
• xxx xxx
• MR. FRANCISCO. Mr. Witness, will you point out where in this map is Perpetual Real Street, Pulanglupa I in the vicinity of
Perpetual Village?
• MR. TAYAO. Here it is the Perpetual Village, Your Honor, approximately three or four blocks away from the Golden
Haven.”
• xxx xxx
• MR. FRANCISCO. Now, will you point out where in this map is the portion that would be traversed by the Las Piñas-
Parañaque Link Road?
• MR. TAYAO: It should be just there, the Golden Haven Memorial Park, Your Honor.
• xxx xxx
• MR. FRANCISCO. And, Mr. Witness, do you confirm that based on the line that you drawn, this area traversed by the Las
Piñas-Parañaque Link Road is quite far from Real Street in the vicinity of Perpetual Village?
• MR. TAYAO. Yes, Your Honor.” (TSN dated 06 October 2009, 10:01 a.m., pp. 4-6 to 10:11 a.m., p. 1; emphasis supplied)
ADRIANO’S
TESTIMONY
Material Admissions
(extracted from the
transcript of stenographic
notes)
Villar’s Adelfa and Brittany planned to develop high end
residential buildings in the area traversed by the realigned
C5 Road Extension Project that connected Multinational Rd.
from Sucat Rd.
• MR. FRANCISCO. You have one. And can you state to the
record what is that joint venture agreement?
• MR. ADRIANO. I think it’s the de Leon family. I’m not --
that is one but I cannot specifically remember the full ...
• MR. FRANCISCO. And how big is the area covered by this joint
venture agreement with the de Leon?
• MR. ADRIANO. If I am not mistaken about 1.7 hectares.
• MR. FRANCISCO. And that’s precisely why you entered into joint
venture agreements?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. But since this is a 10 to 12 hectares
subdivision, it must be on the high-end?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. So, you will not just be selling lots at P15,000
per square meter but the price could be higher, right?
• MR ADRIANO. But I think that would be the average, Your
Honor. Fifteen would be the average.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Okay. And only a portion, 7,768 square meters, will be used for the road
right-of-way.
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. And the C-5 Road Extension will pass through this Lot 2 of 7 hectares, right?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Without the C-5 Road Extension, this is a land-locked lot. Meaning to say, it
has no access to any public road, right?
• MR. ADRIANO. Doña Josefa itself has no access to a public road, but it is adjacent to the
Azalea Realty Estate Corporation which has access to public road, Your Honor.
xxx xxx
• MR. FRANCISCO. My question to you, Mr. Witness, is just Lot 2 registered in the name of Doña
Josefa Vda. De Santos, Inc. On its own, it has no access to a public road, right?
• MR. ADRIANO. On its own, no, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. But because the C-5 Road Extension will pass through
this 7-hectare property eating up 7,768 square meters, this lot will now
has access to a public road, particularly C-5 Road Extension. Right?
• MR. ADRIANO. With the C-5 Road, it will have access to a public road.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Okay. With the C-5 Road Extension, Adelfa Properties
(sic) does not have to provide another access to a public road under
your joint venture agreement.
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Okay. So, by this C-5 Road Extension passing through
this Lot 2 which is under a joint venture agreement, it will now have
access to a public road. Right?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. And that’s the reason why, as you claimed, you dictated an
amendment of P400 million insertion to the 2008 National Budget?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yeah. I enumerated the recommendations of Senator Villar to the
2008 Budget, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. And this was for the amount of P400 million, not P200 million?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, as I can remember, Your Honor, 400, Your Honor.
Xxx
• THE CHAIRMAN. No, I don’t believe in this to be honest about it, you tell us the truth.
• MR ADRIANO. ...there was already a 200 million allocated in the project. I feel that additional 400
million will go a long way in the completion of the project, Your Honor.
• THE CHAIRMAN. That is correct. But you were recommending more than 400 million, 610 ang
nirerekomenda mo. If you’re really working within the limits of the allocation given to the officers
of the Senate, bakit 610 ang...
• MR. ADRIANO. To me, sir, it’s something like there is a high...
• SEN. ROXAS. Okay, so, isn’t that another way of saying, two-thirds or 67 percent
of what the Office of Senator Villar recommended to the budget is made up of this
one project.
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, Your Honor.
• SEN. ROXAS. Okay. Now this one road project, in other parts of the testimony,
even if it helped whatever you are saying it helped, it passes through the
properties that are owned by Senator Villar and/or related interests. Is that not
correct?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, Your Honor.
• SEN. ROXAS. Okay. So, to put those two thoughts together, two-thirds, 67 percent
of what you recommended and Senator Villar approved as an initiative to the
budget was for one project which happened to pass through properties that he or
related interests owned.
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, Your Honor.” (TSN dated 29 September 2009, 10:41 a.m., p.
4)
Villar inserted the additional P200M for the C5 Road Extension
Project so that his properties would be paid by the
government as roads-right-of-way
• “MR. FRANCISCO. Mr. Witness, you will confirm that in November 2007, there were many landowners owning lands that were
affected by the C-5 Road Extension Project who were not yet paid?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. In fact, Golden Haven Memorial Park, Inc. is one of those landowners who has not been paid by the government for
the road right-of-way of this project?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, at that time, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. And Adelfa Properties, Inc. also has collectibles from the government for this road right-of-way project?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, they have properties not yet paid, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Yes. And these landowners who are claiming compensation from the government, it was to their interest that they
get paid, right?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, Your Honor.
• xxx xxx
• MR. FRANCISCO. But when you proposed this P400 million insertion and you did not specify, as you claimed, that it was for the road
right-of-way or for civil works, you knew that portion of this P400 million insertion could be used to pay the collectibles of Golden
Haven and Adelfa Properties, right?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes, that’s possible, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. But you knew when you proposed a P400 million for the construction of C-5 Road Extension ...
• xxx xxx
• MR FRANCISCO. . for the construction of C-5 Road Extension, that amount could go to either civil works or right-of-way, right?
• MR. FRANCISCO. And you also confirmed that you knew at that time when you
enumerated these insertions to the 2008 national budget, that it is possible that a portion
of this P400 million would be used for the payment of the road right-of-way claims of
Adelfa Properties, Inc. and Golden Haven Memorial Park, right?
• MR. ADRIANO. It’s possible, Your Honor.” (TSN dated 09 September 2009, 10:51 a.m., pp.
5-8 to 11:01 a.m., p. 1)
• xxx xxx
• “MR. FRANCISCO. At as of August 24, 2009, itong tatlong lupaing ito na nagkakahalaga ng
83 million ay hindi pa nababayaran ng gobyerno sa Golden Haven Memorial Park, Inc. at
sa Adelfa Properties, Inc. na kung saan kayo ang namumuno, hindi po ba?
• MR. ADRIANO. Opo, Your Honor.
• xxx xxx
• MR. FRANCISCO. So, in November 2007, noong Nobyember 2007 noong umupo kayo dito
sa Senado, sa opisina ni Senator Manny Villar at kaharap ninyo si Atty. Yolanda Doblon at
nagdikta kayo o nag-enumerate ng mga pagbabago sa 2008 National Budget kasama na
ang P200 million na insertion para sa C-5 Road Extension Project including road right-of-
way, itong Golden Haven Memorial Park, Inc. at Adelfa Properties, Inc. ay mayroong
collectible from the government na nagkakahalaga ng P83 million, tama po ba?
• MR. ADRIANO. Sa record pong pinakita ninyo, opo.” (TSN dated 08 September 2009, 12:46
p.m., p. 6)
• MR. FRANCISCO. Okay.
• So, all in all, these three companies will now have receivables from the government of 93
million plus 31 million, that’s 120 million plus about 2 million. So, these three companies
on these three transactions alone will have receivables from the government of P125
million or about that amount, right?
• MR. ADRIANO. Based on the zonal values you mentioned, I think that will be more or less
the amount, yes.
• MR. FRANCISCO. And this P125 million compensation will be requiring funding from the
national government, right?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes.
• MR. FRANCISCO. And the only way to fund this P125 million is through appropriations in
the national budget, right?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Now, from Sucat Road to Multinational Avenue, as you have testified
earlier, Brittany Corporation and Adelfa Properties have receivables of P125 million, right?
• MR. ADRIANO. Yes.
• MR. FRANCISCO. But you requested P400 million insertion to the 2008 National Budget.
• MR. ADRIANO. Yeah, we proposed a 400 million amendment, yes.” (TSN dated 29
September 2009, 11:41 a.m., pp. 7-9 to 11:51 a.m., pp. 1-2; emphasis supplied)
BACOLOD’S
TESTIMONY
Material Admissions
(extracted from the transcript of
stenographic notes)
Funding for the Las Pinas-Paranaque
Link Road came from the initiatives of
Villar
• “MR. FRANCISCO. Okay. At alam mo rin na ang magiging pondo
dito na manggagaling sa Kongreso ay kukunin sa pork barrel,
di ba?
• MR. BACOLOD. Ayon po sa project profile ho namin. Ang
nakalagay ho si Senator Villar.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Pero sinasabi mo sa Komite ay wala pang dokumento na sinusumite yung Golden Haven…
• MR. BACOLOD. Correct. Pero on our part, sa opisina namin, nagre-request na ho kami ng kung magkano sa area na
yan ang mga zonal valuation. Pero wala silang sinabmit (submit). Mayroon na kaming idea kung magkano.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Ah so kahit wala pang sinusumite na BIR Certification on Zonal Valuation, kayo sinabi n’yo na
P13,300 per square meter iyong sa Golden Haven Memorial?
• MR. BACOLOD: Sinasabi dahil based doon sa zonal valuation. Sa zonal valuation – katulad nito sa isang lugar na ito,
halimbawa, sample, may propose kami dito, humingi kami na advance zonal valuation.
• SEN. LACSON. Anong basehan ninyo para gumawa ng listahan na mayroong 13,300 para sa Golden Haven kung
wala palang claim at wala namang sinisimulang — wala namang naniningil, Bakit kayo gumawa ...
• MR. BACOLOD. For record purposes lang iyon, Your Honor. Mayroon kaming ...
• SEN. LACSON. Eh kung wala nga talaga iyong kini-claim na iyon dahil lumalabas wala doon sa aktuwal, so wala pala
talagang ganoong property na dapat bayaran. Ano ang basis ninyo bakit nag-prepare kayo ng listahan na kasama
iyong ganoong kalaking ...?
• MR. BACOLOD. Amin lang iyon kasi mayroon kaming given na area at saka iyong zonal valuation, kino-compute
namin. Pag nagsasubmit ho sila ng papers nire-revalidate namin kung tama o hindi.
• xxx xxx
• SEN. LACSON. Mr. Bacolod, magulo po iyong inyong mga statement.” (TSN dated 01 October 2009, 11:41 p.m., pp.
7-8 to 11:51 a.m., pp. 1-3)
• “THE CHAIRMAN. Sandali lang. Sandali lang. Hindi ba pag bumibili kayo ng lupa para sa
gobyerno ay tinitingnan ninyo na hindi naman magbabayad ng sobra ang gobyerno?
• MR. BACOLOD. Yes, Your Honor.
• THE CHAIRMAN. Ngayon, kung bibigyan kayo ng zonal valuation na suspetsado kaya kita
mo na mayroong parsela na mas malapit sa kalsada, 4,500, hindi ba pumasok sa utak mo,
eh bakit naman ito ay 13,000 samantalang iyong napakalapit sa kalsada eh 4,500? Bakit
hindi ninyo tinanong para hindi naman mapinsala ang mga nagbabayad ng buwis sa ating
bansa? Iyan ang trabaho mo, eh. Kaya ka sinusuwelduhan ng gobyerno para
proteksiyunan mo iyong interest ng gobyerno.
• MR. BACOLOD. Iyan po ang problema ng Public Works, Your Honor.
• THE CHAIRMAN. Oo, totoo iyon. Pero hindi ba kayo nagtataka na iyong zonal valuation
doon sa malapit sa kalsada mas mababa kaysa doon sa zonal valuation na sinisingil sa
inyo? Ganoon na lang ba, oh ministerial, bahala na. Kahit na milyon iyong pababayaran sa
amin, huwag na namin tatanungin tutal hindi naman namin pera iyan. Eh paano kayong
empleyado ng gobyerno kung ganyan ang attitude ninyo? If I were your department head,
I will kick your ass this moment. I will separate you from the service. You are not a faithful
public servant, you know that. With the way you answer the question, I have the right to
tell you to your face, that you are a faithless servant of the people.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Now, sinuri mo ngayon ‘yung mga dokumento na galing a department mo, supporting documents ng pagbabayad sa halagang
P13,000 per square meter at binasa mo sa record itong BIR certification dated May 13, 2002, tama ba?
• MR. BACOLOD. Tama, Your Honor.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Okay. At ang sinasabi mo ay itong certification ng BIR dated May 13, 2002 that reads, “Transfer Certificate of -- this is to certify
that the zonal value of the property covered by Transfer Certificate of Title No. T26482 registered under Golden Haven Memorial Park,
Incorporated located in Barangay Pulang Lupa is P13,300 based on the Revised Zonal Valuation of 1996,” tama po ba ang pagkabasa ko?
• MR. BACOLOD. Tama ho,‘yun.
• MR.FRANCISCO. Okay.
• Now, at ito ang naging -- Itong BIR certification na ito ang naging batayan n‘yo para bigyan n’yo ng go signal na mabayaran itong may-ari?
• MR. BACOLOD. Yes, Your Honor.
• M. FRACISCO. Okay.
• Now, at kasama sa tungkulin mo bilang special investigator at special agent, kasama ng mga kasamahan mo sa departamento, na suriin mo
‘yung mga supporting documents ay hindi fake?
• MR. BACOLOD. Hindi ho. Basta tama ho ‘yan...
• MR. FRANCISCO. Oo, kailangan n’yong tiyakin na ‘yung mga supporting documents ay hindi palsipikado, di ba?
• MR. BACOLOD. Tama ho.
• MR. FRANCISCO. At kasama sa tungkulin mo ‘yan na kailangang i-verify mo kung ‘yung sinasabi sa BIR certification on zonal valuation ay tama o
hindi?
• MR. BACOLOD. Tama ho.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Okay. And you will confirm to the Honorable Committee that that
street is not Sucat Road or Dr. A. Santos Avenue, right?
• MS. BACOD. Yes.
• MR. FRANCISCO. In fact, that commercial area at A. Bonifacio is about two kilometers
from the entrance of Sucat Road at Barangay San Dionisio.
• MS. BACOD. Yes. But it’s still under Barangay San Dionisio.” (TSN dated 22

• THE CHAIRMAN. Why did you choose a property that is two kilometers away and not
a property also commercial regular that is probably about a hundred meters away
or less than two kilometers away?
• MS. BACOD. But we have, as—we have our goal to meet during our...
• THE CHAIRMAN. That is immaterial. I am talking about the Principle of Taxation. I’ve
been teaching this subject.
• MS. BACOD. Yes.
• THE CHAIRMAN. And you are telling me that you want to be arbitrary simply
because you want to squeeze the highest amount of money from the people even if
it is unjust? No way. That’s not what taxation is.
• THE CHAIRMAN. Correct. But you said that there were also property classified as
commercial regular in San Dionisio with zonal valuation ranging from 10 to 20.
• MS. BACOD. Uh-huh.
• THE CHAIRMAN. You have enough values to use. Why did you select a property
although it is within San Dionisio, it is two kilometers away and the highest one?
Why?
• MS. BACOD. So, maybe we...
• MR. FRANCISCO. Yes. And as testified earlier by Engr. Adriano, this lot at the time
you issued the certification was undeveloped, vacant and had an area of 10,213
square meters because it: has not been subdivided, right?
• MS. BACOD. Yes.
• MR. FRANCISCO. Now—okay, you did not check the—you did not verify if the lands
in Ninoy Aquino in the vicinity of A. Bonifacio and the land in Sucat Road are of
similar conditions.
• MS. BACOD. Yes, I did not. No, I did not.” (TSN dated 29 September 2009, 12:21
