Comments Section... to Re -Open? Yes.
Author: Brian Shane // Category: brian shane gorrell, Dee Jay Montano, dj montano, gucci gang
The demand for the commens section to be re -opened is overwhelming. Over night, I recieved almost eight hundred e mails.
I am drowning in e mails. I have to stem the flow somehow.
Please be patient as I am determined to answer each one.
I will be opening the comments section at different periods through out the day.
I need time to go through them and try my best to edit.
It is a huge dynamic of this blog.
I have to listen to my readers.
They are this blog.
The following was pulled from the Chismizan with Chuva blog.
Thank you for your support.
**Since the story broke out about Brian Gorrell and his blog about DJ Montano and the Gucci Gang, I haven’t seen such traffic on one site be accumulated so fast in such a short time. We were given the tip from one of the readers (who will remain anonymous) a couple of days after Brian Gorrel’s blog was opened. Not knowing who DJ Montano or Celine Lopez, we just thought that Brian’s posts were quite interesting to say the least. Until the story caught fire and we started to realize who these people are.
Alright, we understand from his entries that he is owed 70K by DJ Montano. Celine Lopez will not assist Brian in getting his money back. Brian has written about DJ’s mom as well and asked that she mediates about the issue. No avail. Celine’s lawyers have written to Brian stating that Celine has tried to ask DJ to pay up but received nothing but DENIALS from him about the alleged money owed. So right now - Brian is caught between two things and two things only - ROCK and HARD PLACE.
My advice would be for Brian to apply (although it may be a little tacky) for Google Adsense. Why? Because his blog hits are phenomenal! I remember one Pinoy who earned $137.00 on his blog in just one day because of traffic spike. Brian Gorrell’s blog receives an average of 42K unique hits a day! That is a blogger’s dream. If he manages to keep the interest of people reading his blog (the blog views have considerably dropped since he closed the comments section where the really juicy entries are) he could recoup the 70K owed him in 510.94 days. That will be close to two years. If he monetizes his blog, he would probably be able to recoup the money owed to him sooner.
I posted this entry not to demean his real reason why he is blogging about the “GUCCI GANG”. I don’t want to disregard the fact that he is aching from this REAL experience and needed to vent it out. I posted this because I am amazed about how fast his blog rose through the ranks. It took us one year to reach 200,000 unique hits. It took his blog DAYS! It’s simply amazing.
Anyway, just so that you can see how his blog performs SEO-wise. Here are screen shots of his Sitemeter.
363,036 Unique hits in 8 days. 650,011 page views!
Topped 100K page views in ONE DAY?! WOW!
Highest day had 68, 443 in one day. Just guess how much he would
received from Google Adsense if he had it.
Coming later today- I will be posting the PROOF!!!
Prepare DJ as you won't be able to deny it any longer.
I am so happy you opens the comments again. We all need a voice. I want to help you.
thanks for re-opening the comments section!
GO Brian!
i'm very happy you've decided to re-focus your efforts on what this is all about to begin with: you trying to recoup the money dj stole from you. not about the other people who were unfortunate enough to have photos taken with this gucci gang. inasmuch as this particular sect of "high society" might deserve this lashing, let other people who have grievances against them open their own blog. you, brian, have your own war to wage. and we're here behind you 100%!
may God bless you this time.

Good luck, bro, just be careful in toeing the line between being litigious and being libelous. I hope all goes well with you.
Take care!
hi brian! You know what? i am amazed at how well you read these people. the only thing they have are their egos and their connections to people from the society pages... they think that self promotion equals their value in society. it had to take someone from outside their circle (you) to expose them for who they really are: self-promoting useless members of society. (there's a reason why one of them got booted out of the inquirer right?...because he kept using his "column" to self-promote)... anyway, i've said this before and i'll say it to you again. you are like the kid in the emperor's new clothes. you see the reality in things in a way others don't (or don't want to). and you speak up. :)
i hope you're well. i hope your mom's well. and i'm glad that you're a thousand miles away from people who have hurt you.
Nice to hear that the comments section has been opened.
Good Luck
I missed you! My boyfriend's already jealous of you, but I caught him reading your blog today. Too funny.
Hi Brian
DJ is seriously doubt if DJ will pay you back. I am sure no one will lend him money. You may have lost 70K but DJ lost his friends, business and credibility. Now he lost so much more than you did. I hope you recover what you lost in some other way.
post it, post it, post it!!!!
we all can't wait!!!!
Been away for two weeks and only learned of this thru the PDInquirer when I arrived. It's terrible what those people did to you, Brian. But take courage in the thought that many Filipinos are behind you. I've been reading the comments when you opened them and noticed this fact. Truly, goodness rises over lies and deceit. That (your crusade)is being cheered on by Filipinos readers of your blog, that you will get your money back and get your life back. Keep the fight, Brian. We will be with you!
oh god... oh god... here we go again
These people, they think they're so rich throwing away money on cocaine and expensive bottles of champagne. i know alot of people who have alot more money than them but choose to keep a low profile. The chinese tycoons can buy their souls, for crying out loud. Geez, and some people actually want to live lives like theirs.
Hi Brian,
Thanks for quoting our post. We are just really following the storyline here. WE DO HOPE FOR THE BEST for you and everyone else.
Peace!

hi brian, I hope you consider Chuva's suggestion so that you could at least earn a bit for your treatment. Stay strong!
Hey Brian,
Just wanted to wish you well. I hope nothing bad came out of your encounter with the police. I pray that NSW Police are nowhere near as corrupt as the ones in the Philippines - or else, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.
I wish you all the best, and although I fear your ex isn't honourable enough to return the money, I do hope that you get some of it back somehow.
Filipinos are behind you. Spill everything you know. They are just a few who give filipinos bad image. Teach them a lesson! Go Brian!
Filipinos are behind you Brian. I'm really sorry for what Dj has done. Spill everything you know and make them suffer! They're one of the few who give filipinos a bad reputation. Teach them a lesson!
This quote deserves to be immortalized:
“There is this mind-set, which I think is so passe, that says: ‘The country is in shambles and the country is having a hard time and you are out there partying.’ But this generation is guiltless when it comes to that.” - Tim Yap
Makes me want to do an EDSA against the fashionistas, just like that memorable dance in the Senate.
C'mon jologs guys n gals, let's all go to Embassy wearing our pambahay jeans n tees and our tagalog accents. So what if we're POOR?? Let's Parteeey!!
hi brian
before reading your blog, i was like really a fan of those socialites... i patronized them, and wanted to be like them...
thank you for the epiphany that you gave me, that they are all superficial scumbags... i used to think that celine lopez and tim yap should be idolized for being so nearly perfect ( which they are portrayed in philippine media.
but i was wrong.. thank you brian.. so much.. now, i don't have to be insecure about myself,knowing that i am a much better person than those pretenders...
good luck and god bless!
You're now in Wikipedia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gucci_Gang_controversy
You should read Yap's take about this blog in his saturday Star article... Good you're back!
your brave, mate
go fight for what is right!
I am glad you opened the comment section. It has been so entirely quite for the last few days... at least for us who are reading comments in your blog. Honestly brian, your blog will be a bit useless if comments arent published. Comments add more pressures and these people are 98% Filipinos and know these cokeheads. More Power Brian. Davao City is behind you all the way.

I don't know if you've read my email..I sent it in the yahoo mail just before you posted that it ( your yahoo mail) got corrupted..
N'ways..I just wrote there how sad it is to read what happened to you. I had quite a similar experience wherein a friend who owed me money refused to pay. It isn't as big as yours though so I just charged it to experience.
And no, I don't know the people who have caused you hurt ( though I read about them in the mags and newspapers once in a while and would wonder about how nice and snuggly chic' their lives seem to be...all those dresses and partying and smiles...)but I do hope that your struggles and pain come to a close...a healing...and that of course an agreeable settlement will be reached.
I guess, somehow the memory of all these hurt will linger and yes, be etched in your heart for a very ( very very..sigh')long time...I only hope that you have not lost all faith and trust in the goodness of people....I hope that you be happy again..smile again..and breath again...I hope you find love..real and honest and pure the next time around...
I know you will..
This will probably be my first and last comment...I wish you peace. Take care and good luck.

take the bull by its horns and eye-to-eye, tell the beast you are not afraid!!!! do what you need to do Brian... good people always prevail! GUY FROM TORONTO
Hello brian! Im still in shock from all the things Ived read in this blog day by day.
But anyway, I really look up on you and people who has the courage to fight for the truth, even if your opponents are like the young gods and goddesses of the manila's high society. Before, I used to wish to have a life like them! Rich and famous. But now, I realized how rotten they are. Especially that coke-head heiress and that self-proclaimed eventologist!! BOO to these people and their whole stoopid addict gang.
May you be well soon and get your money back. More power to you mr brian!!
i love you brian! stay strong. thanks re-opening the comments.
Love and prayers from the south of the philippines for you dear... be strong.
Its been a guilty read for me....I love watching a train wreck happen in slow motion...I do hope you get your 70k back & to the so-called scions especially the ones who "write" in our newsies here...STOP SELF PROMOTION! Your articles are just full of vapidness, you suck as a writer...Oh yeah I see them all the time around the spots in my beloved Manille...two words...SOCIAL LIGHTWIEGHTS...Anyways, keep your head up always..keep the blogs a coming!
Go Brian Go! This guy Montano has been getting away with murder! Even that social climbing intsik from binondo, tim yap, has to be put in his place. i do hope you get your money back. We are all behind you.

those bitches are only social climbers...they really don't know anything about fashion and couture...they are all just a bunch of wannabees (tacky and trashy)....keep it up brian!!! we're all here to support you, stay strong have faith in God.

I support you 100%. Keep the blog going! We are here to back you up and give you moral support. I am a pinay who grew up in Manila amongst these conio kids and "wealthy scions". Several of my former classmates behaved in this manner and were children of wealthy families. They deserve their comeuppance! So much has been given to these people and yet they are self-destructive and hedonistic. All the care about is themselves. The country is going down in flames and they're just out there making pa-sosyal, seeking attention,scamming and asking for money, wanting their ugly faces on magazines. They don't know nor appreciate the meaning of hard work.
May they wake up and smell the crap around them. The Gucci Gang is a collection of useless human beings who only care about themselves, how they look and how they can be pleasured.
Again, I went to school with these types of people (in an elite, private school) and they're repulsive.
PS. I really think that Tim Yap and Tina Tinio are pathetic.
Hi Brian! This only proves that what you are saying about the Gucci Gang is true... In Angleque V.'s blog (she is Chut's ex-fiance') she said,
"Finally, I have to admire that controversial blogger, for having the great courage to do what I myself was too chicken to accomplish many years ago." She knows these people very well & she's a very credible person.
You are truly very brave!
Good luck!!!
To the Gucci Gang and their like in our society;
We really are so very very tired of your tireless self-promotion, your fabrication of a materialistic self-indulgent existence like its something to aspire for, I pray that my children don't see it and believe it and want it. Really, we live in a desperate third-world country, our duty is to find ways to make it a little better for everyone. People are hungry, people are tired, the leaders are greedy and they lie all day long can't we just all help each other and turn it around already?
Best of wishes to you Brian. I'm glad you're ok. At first I thought you were paid when the blog went offline.
Montano got some real tough nerves for holding out for this long. I hope that schmuck gets what's coming for him.
This scandal must be knocking the delilahs out of Celine, DJ, and co.
LOL. Take care and good luck.
Does anyone else feel sick when they see the Tim Yap billboards along EDSA? Why would anyone want to emulate him? I feel sorry that he and his hedonistic image is being put up on a pedestal and being made into a role model for the younger generation. Is that what we want?!? NO! Enough!
In a manner of speaking, you have already gotten your revenge, Brian. Nothing is more devastating than the loss of credibility and reputation: people will start to see DJ, Celine, Tina and the rest of the so-called Gucci gang in a different light.
Tearing down the facade from where these people hide their real worth, push them off their imaginary pedestals and expose the crassness of their sordid lives were the unexpected outcomes of your personal quest to simply reclaim what is rightfully yours.
Hopefully, this episode should lead them to re-examine their lives and start treating people humanely.
We commiserate with you Brian. But consider the suggestions of others. With his reputation severely tarnished, it is highly unlikely that if DJ ever comes up with that amount and pay you back, he will be able to get back whatever remains of his tattered dignity. Hell, no.
He is scraping the bottom, as Manila's attention is really on him and his group of friends right now. 70k is not going to change that. And he probably realizes that as well.
What I'm saying is that most likely, you're not gonna get back your money. (I could be mistaken, of course)
In the meantime, you need money for your medical needs. So consider other options.
cheers, dude
ask the personal trainors in fitness first rcbc and they'd tell you that he didn't pay anyone of them for his personal training sesh. if there is redemption for brian it would be that the fugly OGIE DIAZ will play DJ's character should there be a movie! Check the Inquirer! I think that's the most defamatory of all!!! HAHAHA.
Hi Brian,
contrary to the advise given, i would advise you NOT to monetize your blog. Don't cop out and sell your soul to the devil. It's not just about getting your money back. It's about getting your money back from the poeple who stole it from you. Your blog is not about money. it's about justice. keep it that way. be strong. be well. we are all rooting for you.
team Brian all the way!
much love,
just another jologs earning a living
after all their self promotion and high society ekek...these people are bakya din pala! ang cheap cheaP! (my apologies to the bakya crowd) it's not a crinme to be poor, but it is a shameful to be a thief, liar and hypocrite.

Hi! I just discovered your blog thru Sunday's PDI and was just stunned by your revelations. I'm sorry for the misfortune you have had with this WORTHLESS, SCUMBAGS and HYPOCRITE people. When I read your posts and being a Filipino I suddenly became ashamed of what they did to you. Not all Filipinos are like them and definitely they are those who gave people here a bad reputation. I can't condemed you for creating this blog, if you think this is the only to get your money back by all means GO FOR IT!! I admire you for your braveness and I hope you get your justice.
you know for a fact that almost half of the fun of reading your blog is going through the comments section right?
thanks!
- I agree with you "March 17, 2008 2:55 PM."
Tim is the biggest disgrace and he is not OLD MONEY (well, none of them are)... he pretends and proclaims himself as one... well ONE BIG PRETENTIOUS LIAR!!!

Tim Yap's article on Philippine Star regarding this issues

My friends and i were talking about how we almost want to sell talking tees for Brian in the Salcedo Saturday Market!
It can contain any of these lines:
Save Brian!
Team Brian
Western Union
70k now
Xoxo Brian, wish you well.
tina tinio's entry in wikipedia is the height of kacheapan and self aggrandizement. 'a scion of two prominent families...' WTF! cuenca? prominent?! i can only puke! and a large percent of philippine high society is related to her?! does that large percent of philippine high society knows her to be their relative? i doubt it! she is the granddaughter of rudy cuenca for crying out loud! the infamous cuenca of the equally infamous cdcp! pwe! being a granddaughter of a marcos crony and a behest loanee is nothing to be proud about.
Just read Tim's article. Tim, you are so full of shit, you spin things and you are a bad, bad influence to all the kids. Life is not one big drug filled party. Wipe the coke off your nose, stop the self promotion and start helping real people. We are very, very tired of you.
I suggest they undergo a drug test, just to prove that they are not drug addicts. Mayor Lim anyone?
These are serious allegations and these people must move to clear their names, especially the one about drug dealing.
The said people would not have allegedly stole Brian's money if they did not have a dire need, and it could be because of their ADDICTION.
DRUG ADDICTION is a problem, and Brian along with countless other parents have become VICTIMS of this drug seeking behavior.
Drug addicts will not voluntarily enter rehab, like it or not these people are victims too.

Tim Yap's muted reply to this blog.
he really can't write can he?
yay to FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
Wow Tim Yap's take on this issue is so mediocre. The nerve of this guy to lecture readers about being judgmental. Somebody should beat this guy up.
brian,
you opened our eyes and we finally saw the truth behind the facade of manila's elite. (elite???)
now we all know that they SUCK! ill never look at them the same way again.
you're right , only a few in manila have style and fewer have class.... and it aint them!
celine lopez is a turn-off. really.
dj montano's happy days are over... no more pretending dear.
Hi brian. First of all, I want to greet you for a very well done job! You opened the eyes of the reaDERS, especially the ordinary filipino public!
I hope that you will be able to get the money soon and live peacefully, away from the "high-class partyphiles cokeaddicts monsters".
I am just alarmed with whats really happening inside embassy. I BELIEVE THAT THE THE BAR SHOULD BE CLOSED!! It's seems to be a house of evil!! The innocent partygoers can be harmed there!!! Imagine, the sole owners are even the ones who push drugs there?? To think that the bouncers are so strict to the ordinary people who go in that club. TSK TSK TSK. PEOPLE, say goodbye to embassy.
More power to you brian! We'll support you all the way!

70K Now. seems like a nice shirt. How much?
It's easy to throw stones and accuse people of this and that but it would be more credible to have evidence and proof to bring truth to claims.
I have to echo Riain's comment: oh god... oh god... here we go again...
The comments section is half the fun, I agree, but I'm bracing myself for the return of those who *say* they care about you, but use your blog to baselessly malign whomever they want from behind anonymity. When you make shocking revelations and name names, Brian, you back it up with your own name and face; but when anonymous commenters make allegations, then it's fiction until proven fact. Please be careful about what and who you believe. You've been burned badly before by people you thought you knew, so don't be quick to believe people you've never even met offline.
And before any haters flame me by saying that I am anonymous too, please take note that I have not insulted anyone nor made any accusations. I'm just appealing to you all to not let the comments section devolve into what it was before, and force Brian to close it down once again.
hi brian! i am so pleased that you finally opened the comments section. i've been dying to read the comments posted by people who read your blog just like me.
i am a Filipina who happens to despise the Gucci Gang for their pretentious shits.Go brian! i support you all the way to your fight for justice. bring those thugs to their rightful place
I think Brian should only moderate comments involving people who did something to him rather than dragging innocent people in this blog.
tim yap is a fucking fruit loop. look at him talking about being judgemental. so much for a guy who called someone a dog huh?
go brian!!! ^_^V
The Philippine Star should do itself a favor and get rid of these particular people writing for them. It really gives the paper a bad image. I mean who really cares about Celine's articles that don't even make any sense, it becomes obvious after a paragraph that she is a. drunk b. stoned or c. both when writing them. Secondly, why would Tim Yap be an authority on anything, does he have any STYLE or SUBSTANCE? Substance abuse maybe but not real substance. To the owners and publishers of the paper, clean up your staff before they bring you down further.
Dear Mr. Brian Gorrell,
I would like to get in touch with you. I have sent an e-mail to your bigpond site.
Sincerely,
Raissa Robles
senior Manila correspondent
South China Morning Post (HK)
btw Embassy and most other clubs anyway, people are on xtc, ketamine not just coke. Just go to any bigfish parties. I used to snort K at Nuvo and Embassy. LOL. Sorry my poor ass couldnt afford coke. LOL. but 5K for one baggie you say? LOL.
damn it dj pay up! you little rat, you just dint steal money you steal people too! i should know!!!!
Tim Yap is so ful of shit its actually funny! Thanks for the lecture Yapster but its ten years too late you HYPOCRITE!
Go Brian!! I'll be buying the t-shirts at the Salcedo market and will wear it proudly!
Tina Tinio's Wiki entry has been edited 15 times since this blog appeared.... someone's getting nervous...
The people you write about are the bottom-feeders of our society. Thank you for making more people aware of that.
Goodluck. I sincerely hope someone gets a conscience and pays you soon.
You rock, Brian!!!
Would anyone really have the GUTS to wear a shirt that says "$70K Now"?
How's that gonna help?
Wouldn't that be social suicide?
It would be better to send in the PDEA cops or NBI if you really want to solve this drug and money problem.
You guys just want to see these people go DOWN, tsk tsk, call the cops if you're really sincere!
so there are teeshirts? i want a yellow one. 70K. Now.
I do hope you get justice, here or in the afterlife. But please, spare the innocent people that are "associated" with the scum of partyphiles in Manila. You send too much shrapnel so stick to your real targets with laser-precision. Keep the collateral damage at zero casualties as much as possible. ;)
And your bravery here has given us one thing that always escape our minds once we set foot inside dancefloors, bars, and society events, vigilance against the cancers of society. Stay strong and stay the course!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Pathetic attempt by Tim Yap to cleanse himself! And what's with the moralizing? You and your group's hypocritical ways have been revealed with so much proof that there is no way for you deny.
By the way, we'd like to know who your ghostwriter is for this piece of s@#$ you printed. Pathetic...so pathetic!
Brian, here's a link where you can see the GG including your EX minus Celine at a party in Embassy early this month...

brian,
thanks for validating that the space that these socialites are given in the newspapers is really a waste. i just hope the media will wake up and deprive these deluded people the power to define what is cool, fashionable, hip, and trendy.
the negative sentiments of the gucci gang must go beyond the blogs. i just hope the newspapers and advertisers are also abreast of these. i'm sorry brian but you opened a can of worms that needs to be opened a long time ago. thanks for being the catalyst to exposing the decadendce of the Filipino "high" society.
we are supporting you!
Hi Brian,
Wishing you good luck on your fight with the GUCCI GANG! I've read all the blogs you posted on this site . I met Celine Lopez and Tim Yap few years ago. I was surprised with what they are involved in. Drugs, etc;
I'm really concern with your health and well-being. I hope you can fight till the end. We are with you all the way!
I'm really embarrassed on what they did to you. As a Filipino I can't imagine that those "wanna be" society people would do this to a person that gave love, friendship and trust.
Drug use in Manila is getting serious. I met with people who are in to it. I even know who is the BIG TIME PUSHER! For sure you know him, You've seen him with the society people like (tim and celine) But if you look at his character seems like he doesn't belong to that group. He's only there because Wealthy People buys drugs from him. (tall guy, dark, thin, big round eyes, deep eye bugs, like never slept for days) For sure you met him already. I know he's not part of the Gucci Gang, but I just want you to share how I feel about the Manila's society People are starting to evolve to drug addicts.
If they weren't using drugs probably they won't be doing this to you or to anyone right?
They don't deserve to be role models to any brand or product. They don't deserve to be writers or Fashionistas, Even she belongs to a LOPEZ CLAN it doesn't mean she's one step ahead from all of the people in Manila. Celine and Tim should go to REHAB and clean their life style.(Lopez clan should do something) And Mr. Montano should pay up and apologize on what he did to you.
I'm really proud what you've been doing and I'm glad you opened the eyes of all the Filipinos.
GOOD LUCK and GOD SPEED,
ps. I can send you a photo of
that pusher if you want me too.
One of the reasons why alot of people posted hate comments on this section is that, these people who betrayed your trust and stole your money are the same people who flaunt their wealth and popularity like they're better than everybody else. It just became a means to vent other people's frustrations. Some of the gucci gang members are real-life bitches, so there's really no surprise there.
Nevertheless, this is your stage, not theirs. We can only support you through prayers and site hits. You've opened our society's eyes. DJ, Celine and the rest of their friends are no longer invincible as they seemed. God bless you, Brian.
I will buy all these shirts and will certainly be very proud to wear them in public as much as I can. I hope they become available at the Salcedo Market this coming Saturday. I shall wear one right away upon purchase.
I will also be seen at the Mall of Asia on Easter Sunday wearing one of these shirts.
I hope others will do the same.
hi...
I have a question though,,,did DJ knew from the start the you're HIV (+)????
I hope my question isn't too invading...With issues like this, it's easy to go along and believe everything. As much as I could, I like to have an open mind on both parties (you and the gucci gang).
I hope soon they''ll settle things with you (the right way).
God Bless..Be strong.
Didn't Tim Yap exit ungracefully from The Inquirer not too long ago? He was forced to resign because of his unpopularity and for unabashed self-promotion, right? So does this mean that The Philippine Star makes do with the scraps and chopped liver from Inquirer? I find it ludicrous that Tim Yap attempts to be sanctimonious in that reply when in fact he was disgraced at Inquirer. Ang kapal talaga ng mukha. If I were a columnist at The tar, I'd be offended to be working alongside Tim Yap. He so openly blows sunshine up Imelda's a$$. It seems that he's a hanger-on to KC Concepcion these days. Booooo.
Is DJ related to Cesar Montano?
The nerve of Tim Yap to allude to biblical literature to save face! Riding on the solemnity of the Lenten season! Goodness...isn't anything sacred?
Speaking of lenten season, I wonder where the Gucci Gang will observe it? By snorting till kingdom come in Bora as usual?
Happy to hear that this section is opened. i am a filipino based in vancouver, canada and is appalled to read about these rotten tomatoes in high society. Nakakahiya kayo!!!!
Bravo Brian!
PINOYS in ILLINOIS, USA support Brian. Blogging will never be the same again. We are monitoring your blog. May justice be achieved.
to ana b lv, if you're gonna do this blog, at least get your facts straight boba. how many times has brian said that it was dj who stole the money? get with the program because brian doesn't need any more stupid people jumping on his bandwagon. no one else took the money except dj.

Makes me want to do an EDSA against the fashionistas, just like that memorable dance in the Senate.
C'mon jologs guys n gals, let's all go to Embassy wearing our pambahay jeans n tees and our tagalog accents. So what if we're POOR?? Let's Parteeey!!
Which reminds me. My first job was with an events company na madalas sa Embassy ang venue because friends ng boss ko yang Gucci Gang na yan.
Naka-jeans and sneakers lang ako, pero kasi inutusan ako ng boss ko na pumunta sa Embassy (EMBUH)kasi magbebenta ako ng tickets for an event at parang may pre-party sa "EMBUH" para makuha ng mga tao tix nila.
HInarang ako ng doorman at tinanong ako kung san ako pupunta kasi nga ratty jeans at butas na Chucks ang suot ko. Itim na backpack at t-shirt. So nung sinabi ko name ng boss ko, umatras naman.
(Pucha naman, magbebenta ako ng ticket kasi trabaho ko ito, hindi ako makikipagsosyalan. Di ko hilig ang mag-EMBUH)
Polite naman yung doorman/greeter whatever, pero it just shows na haharangin ka kapag mukha kang dukha. Unless you name-drop and then they let you in.
Sa mundong ito, kelangan may kapit ka kundi laging may balakid sayo. Kaya ganyan ang ibang tao, grabe ang kapit sa pangalan at karangyaan, talo pa ang hayok na linta.
Hey Brian,
Please take their advice. I know that you've said before that you don't want charity or money from anyone but DJ Montano. Still, you have said that you do need your money. So please, go apply to Google AdSense. :)
We do want you to have your money from putting up this blog. Take it as our sincere attempt to help you and support your cause.

@brian gorell
i also have this story up since the first days of your blog..in my blog as well, i called it Manila High Society scandal", and people are also ragging about Celine Lopez there,lol..
I even have a story about "THE CELINE LOPEZ scandal" and about her brother ALbertito Lopez, which also get tons of traffic..
btw, you know what, you could have recoup 30-40% of your money lost on DJ Montano if you have google adsense..google what it is..it is true what chuvachienes said..
dear brian,
not to dampen your spirits or anything, but knowing how philippine society works... this thing is going to fizzle down eventually and at the rate things are going.. i dont really think (and most people do too) you will get your money back.
these gucci bitches know how filipinos think too much. theyre just waiting til people get tired... then they can get back to partying and the only victim will still be you. it sucks but its true. the philippines is indeed going to hell.
the reason im writing to you is because i really do think you should take advantage of the money making options open to you right now while this thing is hot. theres no harm in taking up adverts in your site. you earn money and if u do get paid eventually then all the better.
think about it. :)
thanks for opening the comments again
Yes, I'd love to buy a shirt from the Salcedo Saturday Market, the $70K Now one. Yes, I would wear it in public and have my picture taken in it. I'd even send it to this blog for posting! - Lia
(Sorry, I don't own a blogspot account)
Keep fighting Brian! Your strength and courage is admirable. I'm sure DJ Montano and the Gucci Gang are trying their best to pretend that they're not affected by all this when in fact they're really scared shit. :)
huwow! so this is the (infamous) blog I've been hearing about...
sir brian =)
I really do hope you'd get back your money and that
this (tragic) experience will still make you think good about Pinoys
...earning money thru your blog could be one way of getting money as suggested by one in your other post...there are alot of Pinoys who go online..
Good luck po
will someone please prepare a design of the gucci gang t-shirt? let us sell them and donate the proceeds to charity
WE SUPPORT YOUR CAUSE BRIAN. JUST KNOW THAT THERE ARE TOTAL STRANGERS OUT HERE IN CALIFORNIA WHO BELIEVES IN JUSTICE AND IN YOU. GO GET THAT THIEVING, COKEHEAD SLIME AND HIS CRONIES!
I'm all for the shirt! Are they still selling?
