"Manuel Manoy Alipon hides behind the guns of illegally armed city staff. Why? Because his whole corrupt political life
has involved unlawful activities that robbed the people of funds, projects and jobs that would improve their lives. God
may forgive him, but it is hard for humans to see forgiveness in the faces of thousands of poor innocent children forced
into a life of malnutrition, disease and illiteracy when the public funds allocated to help them are plundered and spent by
the City Vice Mayor to give himself wealth and aggrandizement and to give his own children very expensive educations.
Manuel Manoy Alipon represents the most corrupt, most criminal and most destructive element in Sta. Rosa local politics.
Lacking morals or ethics, he demonstrates daily how easy it is for criminals to become rich in our society by entering local
politics. He failed as seminarian. He failed as teacher. He failed as businessman. He rejected Jesus and followed Satan.
It is our Christian duty to ensure that Manuel Manoy Alipon is never re-elected.
Vote ARNEL GOMEZ for Vice Mayor in 2010."

“We don’t need or want another faked up, phony image for the same old
corrupt adulterous thieving gangster vice mayor alipon that we’ve got now.
What we need and and what we want is a truly brand new, younger,
honest Vice Mayor like ARNEL GOMEZ that we can believe in and trust
to bring a better future for our city and our children.”

"The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one."
- 2 Thessalonians 3:3

"Manuel Manoy Alipon is a criminal. Nothing more, nothing less. There is no way that he can
be regarded as honorable. He cheats on his wife, he steals from his friends and supporters,
and he robs his constituents. The boastful way that he flaunts his mistress Jenny in public,
witnessed and photographed by so many people, is proof that even his own family is not
important to him. Evil corrupt adulterer Alipon does not know the meaning of honorable.
He even syphons off government funds intended to help the poor. How much lower
can anyone in public office get than this? Manoy is the pits, the lowest of the low."
- Norman Collins, robbed by his business partner Vice Mayor Manuel Manoy Alipon

"I just do whatever it is that I believe I should do, regardless of the risks to my life....I would rather
die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.... This is a time to return to our basic values.
For us who are a people of faith, Christians and Muslims alike, it is a time to return to our true faith.
True faith must be rooted in prayer, in our trust of a loving father, in loving sacrifice of self for the
greater good of all. The problems of peace and poverty, social justice and good governance are
concerns of everyone and everyone must do his or her share."
- Cory Aquino (Jan. 25, 1933 - August 1, 2009),
First Woman President of the Philippine Republic

"In 2010 Manuel Manoy Alipon will be a burden and a handicap to any political group that supports him, whether it
favors or opposes the present Malacañang administration. The Vice Mayor's closest family, friends and supporters know
that the collective anti-corruption campaigns against him have legal substance and a lot of money behind them. What this
indicates more than anything else is an absence of political skills on the part of Alipon and his advisors. The people he
turns to for professional advice, if indeed he ever listens to anyone else, will forever suffer from their association with him.
Any real politician with a modicum of the basic skills necessary to career survival would long ago have been pragmatic
enough to nip this situation in the bud, not allow it to escalate out of control. At the level of Vice Mayor, near the very
bottom of the political ladder, making so many rich and powerful enemies in one's first term of office is political suicide.
Manuel Manoy Alipon had his chance and he blew it. His political career is over, and he has only himself to blame."

"CITA views CORRUPTION as SIN and in obedience to our living and true God, the
creator of all things who hates SIN, we believe we should vigorously and openly reject
CORRUPTION from the Barangay level all the way up to the highest office on the land.
We are all witnesses to the devastation that runaway corruption has wrought upon our
people and our country. Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng spotlighted the urgency of taking
immediate action against corruption. Surely, we do not have to wait for the next natural
calamity to happen before we are roused into collective action."

"We expect the new law on firearms to have more bite by increasing the fines and penalty of illegal
possession. People who will get caught in illegal possession of three or more guns will not be allowed
to post bail. The PNP is offering two amnesty programs in 2009 – one which started last August 1 for
those who have expired and un-renewed firearm licenses; and two, the one-month amnesty period
from Oct 1 to 31, which is for patently loose and never-been-registered guns. We encourage our
constituents to register their patently loose firearms to avoid legal problems in the future
like heavy fines and imprisonment."
- Jesus Verzosa, PNP Director General

"I feel sorry for Manoy's wife and family. Girls like me have no choice.
We have nothing and must take anything we can get to survive. Manoy
has everything and he abuses everyone. He exploits our poverty and
takes whatever he can get to bolster his ego and give him pleasure.
He does not care about his wife and family. He cares about power and
the feeling that it makes him some kind of God. Everyone knows this is
his fantasy. Manuel Manoy Alipon is not God. He is a disciple of Satan."

"Manuel Manoy Alipon makes the corrupt politician's mistake of thinking the people love him.
Nothing could be further from the truth. In 2007 he was only elected because he robbed
his business partners to buy votes. This is the truth that he does not want you to know.
The people living in poverty whose votes he bought for a few pesos each have only contempt
for the Vice Mayor's abuse of their predicament and his public office, because he reneged on
his promises to provide jobs for them and food, education and medical care for their children."

"I wonder, will Manuel Manoy Alipon take responsibility for the illegal arming of his
Sta. Rosa employees with patently loose and never-been-registered guns, or will he
deny any knowledge and make his staff liable to heavy fines and imprisonment?
Sorry, this is unfair question because already we know the answer. Manuel Manoy
Alipon denies any knowledge so his staff will be fall guys who take the blame."

"Manuel Manoy Alipon likes to boast that he has "Brothers in Christ" who occupy
high public and commercial positions. Are they all hypocrites like him? Do they
all indulge in adultery and corruption as Manoy himself does? Do they all like to
boast of their brotherly association with the reprobate Alipon in the same way?"

"We have heard the same rumors as you that Manuel Manoy Alipon is now suspected of being behind the
killings of Mely Carvajal, Leon Arcillas, Boyie Gomez, Jensen Cristobal and Raul Aala, and in the attempted
slaying of Joey Catindig who narrowly survived an ambush in 2006. Alipon's consuming and ruthless desire
to be Mayor is well known for many years, and the only obstacles standing in his way are rival factions of the
Arcillas, Catindig and Aala clans. All three have established political organizations, each with many thousands
of supporters. The rumors are that Alipon is suspected to have been scheming over several years to set these
clans at each others' throats and to sneak past them while they are fighting each other so as to seize the mayoralty
for himself. Already Manuel Manoy Alipon's grafts, adulteries, corruptions, deceits, extortions, frauds, thefts, armed
robberies and other illegal activities are well known. Alipon's public image is at rock bottom. Former sponsors,
volunteers and voters are ditching him in droves and switching their support to candidates who are true to Santa Rosa
and who will genuinely serve our city with ethics, honesty, integrity and honor like those of Cory Aquino who saved
our whole country from the tyrannical dictator Marcos. This collective deserved backlash will vote Manuel Manoy
"Satan-Worshiper" Gonzales Alipon out of politics forever. The longer that Alipon remains in politics, the more
damage he will do. He is a calamity, a bringer of destruction and disaster to barangay, city and people."

Foreign Investors recently assessing Philippine investment potential came from China, India, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, USA, Canada, Russia, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Sweden, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, New Zealand, and other countries. Those who investigated Santa Rosa Laguna were powerfully vocal in their criticism of the corrupt City Vice Mayor Manuel Manoy Alipon.

This caused us in September 2008 to survey an investment group of mixed nationalities on why their research into the activities of Manuel Manoy Alipon had turned them against investing in Santa Rosa City and had driven them to invest outside the province of Laguna. The coming election led us to call for a further update in March 2010.

Q: Are your answers unanimous?
A: Yes, we have all signed a declaration that we discussed your written questions and agreed these written replies.

Q: Would you trust Manuel Manoy Alipon, at present the City Vice Mayor of Santa Rosa Laguna.
A: No. Never. Not even with something small. Never with anything at all.

Q: Why?
A: Because his brain is so addled with egoistic arrogance and self-obsessed corruption that he is permanently incapacitated. He lacks honor and integrity. His corrupt, immoral and unlawful actions speak for themselves. He is totally dishonest and untrustworthy.

Q: On what evidence?
A: On our own business experiences and on experiences of the many many Filipino business people that we do regular business with.

Q: Why is it important to you?
A: The United Nations issued a statement that answers this question better than we could:
“Corruption harms society, undermines democracy, and weakens the rule of law.”
Philippine Catholic Bishops issued a statement that answers this question better than we could:
“Corruption is the worst form of crime, because it kills the common good, it kills the poor, it kills the country. It violates God’s commandments.”
The Philippine Chief Justice, Reynato S. Puno, issued a statement that answers this question better than we could:
“This country does not belong to the powerful. Nor does it belong to the greedy. It belongs to the Filipino whose spirit calls for honesty, for fairness, for justice, for liberty and for prosperity.”

Q: Do you see the Vice Mayor as a threat to Santa Rosa?
A: Without a doubt. Corruption is a destructive force. Manuel Manoy Alipon is destroying all the good things that honest Filipinos were achieving in Santa Rosa City and in other parts of Laguna.

Q: So you think a Vice Mayor has power to cause widespread damage to local society and economy?
A: As an individual, no. Manuel Manoy Alipon leads a gang of illegally armed city staff. By following his orders it is their collusion and their armed extortions and robberies which allow the Vice Mayor's corruption to destroy anything and everything that local people hold dear to them - their families, their homes, their jobs, their livelihoods. Other staff on the payroll at City Hall are also guilty of collusion in his misappropriations of public funds. Alipon's staff share responsibility for his widespread damage to local society and economy, and one day they will inevitably be brought to justice and face the consequences.

Q: How does the damage manifest itself?
A: When there is a public official as corrupt as Manuel Manoy Alipon, the present but soon to be deposed Vice Mayor of Santa Rosa, the society around him degenerates. Contamination spreads like a disease. People first experience the effects of poverty, disease, pollution, crime, and so on. They quickly lose all respect for local government, and soon they lose confidence in the wider national democratic process. Social and economic instability are bad news to Filipino and foreign investors.

Q: Would you ever reconsider your decision not to invest in Santa Rosa City?
A: Yes. Originally we thought that rooting out corruption in Sta. Rosa must only be the job of local Filipinos, not of foreign investors. We have since then reassessed the situation. It is clear to us now that thousands of ordinary Filipinos do not have any resources to oppose the oppressive corrupt politicians who keep them permanently living in poverty with no hope of improvement for their children or their children's children. The experiences of HRLD and LHR are enlightening, and their mission to help the Philippine people is inspirational. Following their convincing presentations, our revised thinking is that we have a humanitarian duty to assist in any way we can - whether by finance or influence or both.

Q: Do you think this will ever happen?
A: If corrupt Manuel Manoy Alipon is defeated in 2010, foreign investors will come rushing to pour millions of dollars into Santa Rosa, creating jobs and prosperity for thousands of people. If local Filipinos are serious about protecting their families and improving their lives, they will use their voting power to elect an honest Vice Mayor in 2010. Already we are financially supporting the campaigns against the corruptions and the criminal gangsterism of Manuel Manoy Alipon.

Q: Is there no corruption in the First World?
A: There is a criminal element in every society and the First World is not immune to corruption, but it has greater transparency with stricter controls and the punishments are much more severe. What makes this possible is that the popular culture is hostile to them. Corruption is not condoned, and corrupt politicians are not admired. The First World rightly considers them to be enemies of the people because they rob the people. Manuel Manoy Alipon is an enemy of the people of Santa Rosa City and the people of Laguna province.

Q: What do you think makes it such a big problem here?
A: Historically, corruption seems to have been accepted and condoned in the Philippines to become the entrenched norm in politics. Such an extraordinarily high level of official corruption oppresses ordinary people who deserve a better life, and it sabotages every genuine attempt to achieve real progress particularly for the millions of people still living in poverty. This is why foreign investors are encouraged to see that nationally and regionally in the 2010 elections so many Filipinos are standing up to denounce corrupt politicians and energetically promote honest candidates to replace them and create widespread prosperity instead of preventing it.

"The most hypocritical and corrupt Vice Mayor in Santa Rosa's history."
"Called by SATAN to deceive and rob the people."
"He is a liar, an adulterer, a deceiver, a fraudster, a plunderer, a robber and a thief."
"He is the most dishonorable man in Santa Rosa."

"The Vice Mayor of Santa Rosa City is an adulterer and fornicator,
a liar, a robber and a thief who pretends to be a Catholic."

"If you know someone in an adulterous relationship, don't be embarrassed to mention it for
fear of hurting their feelings. Go on! Talk about it! Hurt their feelings! Fight for your Faith!"
- Mother Angelica, Founder of EWTN

Do not believe the corrupt City Vice Mayor's words.
His lying is notorious and he never tells the truth.
Simply watch him and make notes,
for his corruption will speak for itself.
Alipon's corrupt actions tell you the TRUTH about him.

"Our investments also include essential ways to strengthen our institutions of governance in order to
fight the decades-old scourge of corruption. I will continue to fight this battle every single day."
