FREEDOM OF SPEECH?.... NOT in the Philippines I'm AFRAID
Author: Brian Shane // Category: brian shane gorrell
Please find attached an article out today about the blog.
********************************************************
I LOVE the Philippines.
I lived there and grew there.
Filipino's and filipina's are my sisters and brothers.
My heart is full of love for your people.
So much love.
But that does not change the fact that your system would be against me.
If I came back to Manila to fight in court.
I KNOW that.
Lawyers in Manila warned me.
I listened.
My mom was with me. She listened.
DJ Montano stole my life savings.
We all know that.
That is the only thing these people should be worried about.
These people who are worried about bloggers and such.
I was NOT a blogger until your fellow countryman stole all of my money.
He drove me to this blog.
Its DJ's blog.
I created it just for him.
I hope he likes it.
People come to your beautiful country, not to battle in your courts.
Not to lose even more money because of the corruption and shady characters involved.
This is my battle.
I will fight it the way I see fit.
NOT in a Manila court house.
No thanks.
been through enough torture with the ex.
Yes, I will make mistakes.
I am only human.
Not everyone will like my decisions.
I have to live with that.
And I do.
I will fight any attempt to shut me down and shut me up.
I will NEVER EVER stop my fight for balance and justice.
Your country can try to beat me down.
They will fail.
DJ will fail.
He already has.
But I am not yet done.
He still has my money.
My country will neither prosecute me for my free speach nor would they ever extradite me to the Philippines.
This blog is everything to me at the moment.
Its the only shread of hope I have.
You think that will be taken away from me?
Never.
Reprinted hot off the presses.

The Brian Gorrell Story on Media in Focus
Published by: yuga under: Blogosphere.
posted: March 25th, 2008 (Visited 420 times)
Since the Brian Gorrell blog has emerged a couple weeks ago, I tried to steer away from it because of its libelous nature. Obviously, tens of thousands of people are visiting this Australian guy’s blog about his Filipino ex-lover and the $70,000 money the latter owed him that it has gotten him much attention from the press. This evening, we taped the panel discussion at ANC’s Media in Focus discussing the social and legal ramifications of this phenomenon.
Anybody who’s been following his blog knows the scandalous posts and pictures will only attract libel suits. Lawyer’s of the parties involved have made their moves so far, though nothing concrete has been done. Google, the owner of Blogger.com where the BlogSpot blog is being hosted, has been sent a letter of request to take down the blog as well (not sure if it’s a C&D though).
What other bloggers who have been religiously covering this issue is that they’re also accountable about the spread of such libelous acts and can be held liable in Philippine courts. That’s according to Atty. JJ Disini who was also one of the resource speakers of ANC. Even JV Rufino, EIC of Inquirer.net, said he made sure all their articles (9 so far and counting) steer clear of identifying names, linking or publishing URLs.
Here’s what could get bloggers into trouble if they’re covering the issue.
Publicly mentioning names of people being exposed in the blog.
Posting pictures of the people being named by Brian Gorrell in his blog.
Publishing the URL of the blog or linking to the blog.
Quoting a libelous sentence on the blog or re-publishing/summarizing allegations thereof.
The personalities and families of the people being exposed in the blog are desperate to end this and looks like they’re doing everything they can to stop people from talking about it and they will include bloggers too.
Watch Media in Focus on ANC this Thursday to learn more about this issue. We tried real hard not to name names or mention the blog. The only name we can really talk about in the segment was Brian Gorrell himself.
WTF!
The person who wrote this can't even mention names.
A disgrace to REAL journalism.
DISGRACE!!!
Are you living in the USSR?
China?
Cuba?
What ever happened to freedom of speach?
Holy Shit!
what are they gonna do? sue and imprison hundreds of thousands of people because of commenting on this blog? and try them all in court? they can't even prosecute all the true criminals here
"The personalities and families of the people being exposed in the blog are desperate to end this and looks like they’re doing everything they can to stop people from talking about it"
PAY UP... then it'll stop... if you're as rich as you all claim u are why can't you pay up then? if you're all at wits end why dont you cough up the money???
go brian
Hi, Brian. Just wanted to let you know quickly that it should read "speech" instead of "speach."
And no, I'm not Jose, haha.
And also, know that I think of and wish you the best everyday, and I think your mom must be one amazing woman.
We all love you and even after you shut this blog down, will always remember you.
Celine is the epitome of a high society crashing into a pile of sh*t. The world is indeed round Celine. I’m loving every moment of this. Who can forget all that name calling you did for my friends. So my dear, where are your friends now? Where are they my dear?
I remember when we were in Japan and you said “HI” to me, I nearly fainted. You have bad breath! I thought you swallowed 10 dead rats and 2 skunks. Gross! I nearly puked my lunch meal. I can’t believe you have 5K to buy coke and can’t spare 25 pesos for toothpaste. My dear, the smell of your mouth still haunts me like Nightmare on Elm Street. You should try smelling your breath and be kind enough not to speak to others specially if you knew you didn’t brush your teeth for 3 days. Gross!
Tina, Tina, Tina. When they published a photo on the blogsite, I wondered why the Great Wall of China had a blue tarp over it. Lo and behold! Upon closer inspection, I realized that it was you! Lord, have mercy on us! I nearly poured acid over my eyes. Aaaarrggghhhh…Ang hapdi….. Girl, you are delusional – it seemed like you packed 10 pounds of sugar in 2 pounds of sack. I can never forget when you ate half of my birthday cake. It seemed like you weren’t fed for 18 days. And I bet you had those bikinis custom-made. No sane bikini maker would dare manufacture a size-20 swimwear. Thank God, Lex saw the light and dumped you in the rough seas between Nami and Manila.
What about the little troll that is Patrick. What will your wealthy private banking clients say of you at Morgan Stanley? Thank God my money is not with you no matter how much you tried to rim my ass and worship the ground I walk on. Oh my god! Sucking Marco’s cock isn’t enough. Both of you should be called tweedle pee and tweedle cum. You should throw in Ricky Delgado as your alternate. The three of you can win an academy award for showing the world what studs you are (well, not flamboyant and super-gay Patrick) when in fact you love cocks more than life itself. This is an open secret everyone knows about. Bravo for trying to act straight. Ricky, you are a fucking mean and shrewd businessman. One day, you will fall flat in your face.
Wendy, what were you thinking? Disguising your boyfriend as a gay-yoga instructor is not so cool. However, I must give you five stars for creativity. Macau money is not good enough for you? The money you make peddling your pu**y isn’t enough? Well, then go back to the filth where you came from. I’d pay $500 to lay you – even just for an hour. After all, you did it for free with a celebrity hunk named T.M. Yes, I know about him and your one-night stand. Well, make that five.
And what about DJ. Hoy Bakla, mag bayad ka na ng utang mo! You owe me 25K pesos but what the heck. It’s loose change for me compared to the money you owe to gazillion of other people. I always knew this day would come to you when all your debtors will come and stalk you no end.
Celine, Tina and DJ should be thrown in the slums of Tondo. May pok-pok ka na, may letchon pa, may kurbador ka pa. We can even make a movie out of this starring: Bella Flores (as Tina Tinio), IC Mendoza (as Wendy Puyat); Pokwang (as Celine Lopez); Roderick Paulate (as DJ Montano); Mr. Shooli (as DJ’s Attorney); Mahal (as Marco Antonio); Mura (as Patrick Reyno); Lolit Solis (as Millet Mananquil); Ronald McDonald (as Tessa Prieto-Valdez); Ai-ai Delas Alas (as Emily Lopez); Chocolate (as Albertito Lopez), Pops Fernandez – without make-up (as battered and beaten up maid of the Lopezes). The title can be: The Day the Circus came to Town, Swindler’s List or Palimos ng Coke.
Shit, the sight of Tina in a blue bikini still haunts me no matter how hard I try to forget it. Barf! I should seek professional treatment.
Sincerely,
Glad-Im-Out of Gucci Gang (or G.I.O.G.G.)
Manila Polo Club, Philippines
PS: Good luck with your endeavors Brian. I find your BLOGSITE Google Ads for “Drug Rehabilitation” and “12-Step Program for Addiction, Depression and Alcoholism” darn hilarious. Keep your head up high, dude. Hope you send that DJ-douche bag in jail.
ANC... ABS_CBN... LOPEZ...
FYI maybe you mean speech not speach.
from a friendly reader
Like it or not you have to go to court Brian, remember you have supporters here in the Philippines.
Corruption is a part of life here, but it doesn't mean that everything is corrupt and your efforts will be futile.
Remember, this is a country that overthrows presidents through the popular support of the people for peaceful revolutions. Don't think that the common person here is powerless, we have strength in numbers.
If this blog loses steam and you have not done any legal action, then the chances of you retrieving your money might become slim.
Will you just be another victim of the talented mr. montano? or are you willing to commit to put an end to all this?
like any other publicity stint...bad publicity is still PUBLICITY!!! let them discuss your blog on TV, thats the best publicity you will ever have! we're with you all the way B!
The rule is: republication of libel is also libel. but the person who republishes a libelous statement can only be guilty if the original publisher is also found guilty. No guilty verdict on the original publisher -- no libel for the republisher. simple!
Use your lawyers Brian! Filipinos should be educated more on cyberspace freedom of speech!
that article is just meant to scare the public from reposting data from this blog. legally, it's very easy to skirt around it... even if we created our own sites dedicated to this scandal..all you have to do is put the words 'alleged' etc... or put a question mark.. and you're off the hook. haha they can't stop this..
there are no laws yet to govern the internet... in the world...so what can you expect in the philippines?
Celine: why don't you take a public drug test to settle this score once and for all?
Take a drug test and prove Brian wrong. Afraid of the truth?
An anarchy of families
Source: http://www.iloiloviews.com/an-anarchy-of-families.html
THE RAGING controversy involving the Gucci Gang and Australian landscape designer Brian Gorrell continues to draw spectators from all walks of life. The personalities involved in this online drama are too sensational to be ignored. High-society devotees and lifestyle observers are glued to this hullabaloo minute by minute. As gleaned from the now very popular blog, the main target of the tirade is Delfin Justiniano “DJ” Montano II, whom Gorrell alleged to have duped him of US$70,000. Caught in the crossfire is Philippine Star lifestyle editor Celine Lopez, whom Gorrell accused of not only allowing her best friend to commit the rip-off but supporting him as well by covering up the con and striking back at him.
The accusations against Montano and Lopez are simply sidelights to the intriguing story of their equally controversial families, which have become subjects of case studies on political bossism and the practice of rent-seeking – phenemenons which are watermarked all over the Gucci Gang controversy. Blog fanatics will surely be amazed over the titles of two chapters – Chapters 3 and 9 – in the book An Anarchy of Families: State and Family in the Philippines edited by noted American historian Alfred McCoy. The book, which was conferred the 1995 National Book Award, examines how some families in the Philippines were able build their political and business empires in a manner replete with fraud, deceptions, trickery and violence.
A now very familiar name is bannered in Chapter 3, Walking in the Shadow of the Big Man: Justiniano Montano and Failed Dynasty Building in Cavite, 1935-1972 by British scholar John Sidel (who wrote another book Capital, Coercion and Crime: Bossism in the Philippines that also has an interesting chapter on the Montanos and on politics in Cavite). Chapter 9, Rent-Seeking Families and the Philippine State: A History of the Lopez Family was written by McCoy and is a must-read for those who everyday turn on their TV (ABS-CBN and SkyCable), drink water (Maynilad), use electricity (FirstGen and Meralco), or make a call and surf the Internet (BayanTel), among other daily consumer activities.

WOW, NASA LIBRO PALA SILA!!! HANEP!!
you attack dj.
you attack celine lopez AND HER FAMILY!
You attack the gucci gang and anyone merely associated to them.
You philippine star.
Now you're attacking US FILIPINOS!
Go SHIT in your own backyard and bitch there BRIAN GORRELL.
No one told u to come here.
No one forced you to go out with Dj.
It's not our fault you have HIV!
It's not our fault you got screwed over!
You made YOUR choices, you got screwed.
Deal with it! Don't drag everyone else in it with you!!!
I personally has never met, seen or even hear about u until this fucking blog came out and you know what, because of the comments section of your which u originally failed to control, you ruined my relationship with my family as well!
You have issues.
I have issues.
Well welcome to the reality of life BRIAN FUCKING GORRELL, WE ALL have issues and problems that we have to deal with!
I dont even know u or have met u or have even been n the same room as u BUT you screwed up many lives as well!!! the sad part is, i was never even a part of you fucking problem!!!!
NOW YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT Y O U HAVE DONE and I REALLY HOPE YOUR HAPPY bec ALOT OF PEOPLE other than myself (i still think about the people around me other than myself) HAVE BEEN AFFECTED AND HAVE LOST A LOT BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID RAMPAGE!
thats a load of crap! Keep posting Brian. Keep fighting for whats right! I've never heard of anyone been extradited for 'blogging', nor have there been publicized cases of bloggers been sued!
there are always going to be ppl like the Gucci gang around, no matter what country you are in. but i've never heard of a story like yours b4... perhaps becoz u are one of the few to speak out.
Give the sydney morning herald a buzz! Try CNN! What are you waiting for! Your blog has ppl from all over reading this, why stop at Philli press? Step up the pressure mate:)
ha! who ever gets convicted here of libel? none! cheap shot...stupid move...now you'll see the wrath of all bloggers and commenters...brian should not be afraid...half the pinoy population reads your blog...
Brian, I just read this post again. (I read all of them several times each, such is your brilliance).
And one thing came through this time around for me: I feel for you SO MUCH re: "this blog is all I have right now." I know exactly what you mean.
Today I told myself I would keep checking your blog, clicking on ads, and telling people I know about this for as long as it exists, anything I can do in any tiny way to be part of the momentum that keeps it up.
If I were actually in Manila, I'd be organizing underground groups to do concrete things FOR you and AGAINST the GG.
People, help do something real naman for Brian. Ang dami nang magagandang ideas na na-post, pero sana naman may mag-organize so the others can have their goodwill channeled into some real action. That will make everyone feel a lot more empowered than just posting here.
And most of all, we can do something to really show our support of Brian, not just all this palaver in the ether, however well meaning.
all i can say is if takes 3 years to get your $70k back through our judicial system, imagine how much longer it will take to sue the blogosphere for libel.
our libel laws are ridiculously outdated; even the world of wiki points out our peculiarity.
anyway, still not hiding behind anonymity.
you go, bri!
I love this blog...
But, it is also spreading a lot of disinformation along with the juicy stuff.
The Reyno's do have lots of money. One of the kids may be gay/bi, I can't confirm or deny that, but I do know they have lots of money and are not failing due to debt. They have done their share of under-the-table deals, but that is part of the industry they are in, and you can't really falter them for protecting their interests. The posts about them about to go under from previous posts are way off the mark. Queer? Maybe. Broke? Not even close.
The Antonio's are good people for the most part, at least Marco and his brother Jigger. The father is a bit shady, but they are generally good people. Marco may like to suck cock on occasion, but that doesn't make him anything other than confused.
Celine and her Mommy? I have not read anything that was so far off the mark to comment otherwise. Her mother is a gold digging wench, and Albertito is a scaliwag, scum-sucking leach-cum-politician. If I hear right, most of his assets are now in her name to hide them from those he has stepped on in the past...
Take the comments with a grain of salt. There is a lot of rich resentment in here: success breeds contempt. Not all of the people mentioned are "bad" people, even if they are associated with gutter trolls like DJ and Celine.
On the issue of free speech: "justice" in the Philippines is not free, in fact it's not even cheap. Want anything from the court? Make an offer, but be ready to haggle when the other party trumps it.
Brian, good luck. Keep up the fight, we are all rooting for you. As well as waiting for some of the bombs you claim to be holding onto:-)
The Philippines = Nazi Germany
Hey! Sue me for libel! I'm going on record to say that:
1. DJ Montano is a stealing, no-good mother fucker with no writing talent nor should be let near college-aged kids in that culinary school unless more degenerates like him come out of the woodwork.
2. Celine Lopez is a cocaine addled pussy with halitosis, bad flaky skin and no writing skills. And her mother is a money-grubbing social climbing "querida" and she must be proud that ALL members of her family are a bunch of criminals that should be the first to be dragged out and shot for corruption, illegal drugs and just being tasteless assholes.
3. Tim Yap is the fuck-face hypocrite who speaks with a fork tongue and pushes drug use in his club co-owned with Erik Cua, and is a probable candidate for "2 Boys 1 Cup".
4. Tina Tinio should be called TiTinio, and she is a walking natural contraceptive as the presence of her makes dicks all around shirk in fear. She is also a pretentious snob who is so insecure as to write her own wiki entry to mask the ugliness of her pathetic but deep-fried and icing-enriched life.
5. Bea Ledesma is another fat fuck who has the gall to name her paid by the square inch pseudo-column "Jackie O Flash" like Jesus Christ! Her name near "Jackie O" might make Jackie O rise up and choke her neck, or rather necks, down to hell.
I'll add more once I save enough for a lawyer.
Love,
Christy Fermin
the part about not being able to link, post pictures of, or name people on your blog sounds false. weak, wishful thinking.
see http://w2.eff.org/bloggers/lg/faq-defamation.php
for defamation
regarding use of pictures and linking to pictures or your blog, if these are copyrighted images from a publication, you may be liable but you might be able to invoke fair use.
http://w2.eff.org/IP/eff_fair_use_faq.php
you may want to make sure too that you only talk about public figures, the rules change considerably regarding defamation of non-public people.
TM?
Wendy Puyat slept with Troy Montero?
Am I correct?!?
isn't that jj disini guy related to the marcos crony who brokered the bataan nuclear power plant that put our country forever in debt??!! geez...
Anonymous 6:58 pm, sobra ka naman. Wag namang "half the Filipino population," ha. Nakita mo ba sa Sitemeter na 1.5 million or so and page views ng blog ni Brian? Eh, ang population ng Pilipinas is about, what, 85 million?
It's easy for you to be so cavalier about prodding Brian on for your own entertainment purposes, but seriously, go easy on the hyperbole, because if you care about Brian, you should be responsible about what you say here, di ba?
"Lawyer’s of the parties involved have made their moves so far, though nothing concrete has been done. Google, the owner of Blogger.com...."
argh. what is it with people putting apostrophe s after plural nouns?! nosebleed!
Fuck them.
ANC is owned by the Lopezes. If I were them I will be scared shit. By "them" I mean those lawyers who are prostituting their services and the media who do the same. This blog is only a tremor of a bigger social volcanic eruption. They are pushing the people to prefer a dictatorship over a democratic country.
Hahaha i find it funny that all of these so called "High" Society (pun intended) people are so bothered by this blog. The way i see it almost everybody in Manila agrees with most of what Brian says, hence the popularity of the blog. I mean come on who doesnt know that most of them are druggies and con-artists? Any person who come across these people would know, it's too obviouse not to notice. It just took a foreigner who didnt give a rats ass about Philippine "High" Society to articulate all the things people in Manila wanted to say. Libel? i don't think so, yes the pen is mightier then the sword but the pen's might only becomes effective when backed up by truth... something for the Philippine "High" Society to think about.
I sincerely hope poster "G.I.O.G.G." is real and share more juicy info to Brian- at least to keep this blog running longer. It would be a shame if this dies like they Soozy Hopper site.
you attack dj.
you attack celine lopez AND HER FAMILY!
You attack the gucci gang and anyone merely associated to them.
You philippine star.
Now you're attacking US FILIPINOS!
Go SHIT in your own backyard and bitch there BRIAN GORRELL.

==============================
Yun yon... its all about YOU and YOU being dragged with this issue.
At ginamit mo pa kaming mga FILIPINOS. YOU DEFINITELY CANNOT SPEAK FOR ME!
DJ PAYS. EVERYTHING STOPS.
anarchy of families is a good piece, the author hit the nail right on the head.
you should put a link on media coverage to that one brian. the filipinos deserve to know who are the montanos and the lopezes in our society.
imagine if one crazy lopez puts poison on our waters, we can all get killed. or if they shut down electricity so we can no longer go online. business monopoly is really evil!
screw libel.
i am a filipino, but i would say keep on fighting, brian. i hope your country supports you. these people are just hiding behind the face of the libel law because they're scared of the powers that you're fighting against.

Your Post was frickin' Brilliant! keep em coming, man!
Anonymous that posted on March 26, 2008 6:56 PM..
you're an idiot.. Brian has not blamed anyone but himself and DJ for the predicament he's in, including his HIV.. He's never said anything detrimental about the Filipino people.. just that one guy that screwed him over.
Your life was ruined because of Brian's blog? I don't understand how that's possible. i think YOU ruined your relationship with your family on your own, buddy. Brian was thousands of miles away. Blaming him for your troubles is convenient, though..
but at any rate, take that feeling of anger and frustration that you have now, and multiply it by a million.
Maybe then you'll have a small inkling of how Brian feels.
"never tempt your enemies with your weakness." continue your tirade as long as you need to. your venomous expression needs no more exquisite purpose than serving itself. your targets should know well now that social climbing is a contact sport, eh? thrive, brian! in any language or mood, what you've done is courageous. they claimed the beginning; own the finish. smooches to you!
Jackie O flash is the REAL name of a parking toll booth operator in Greenbelt.
And BEA ripped off her name because she thought it was cute.
Identity theft. Im telling you. These guys will steal anything that isnt nailed down.

==================================
Truly affected? U? Part of the issue? Daym. Hahaha LAUGHING OUT LOUD. Uhm... Whoever u are, why dont u just pull your lips over your head, and swallow it?
Threats. Arrest people thru their IP addresses? "Yes, my first name is 'anonymous' and my last name is 'said'." Or "Hi my first name is 'Ice' and my last name is 'Munchster'." Funny nitwits.
Deej, Brian has just one request. PAY HIM BACK. And this is just gonna be part of your bad dream.
Keep it up, mate. ü
"In order that such discreditable imputation to a public official may be actionable, it must either be a false allegation of fact or a comment based on a false supposition. If the comment is an expression of opinion, based on established facts, then it is immaterial that the opinion happens to be mistaken, as long as it might reasonably be inferred from the facts."
http://www.lawphil.net/judjuris/juri1999/jan1999/gr_126466_1999.html
Truth is your defense Brian. If it is true, then it is not libelous.
The pigs are afraid to touch you because there's no disputing the fact that DJ stole your money. And since DJ is a public figure (through his lifestyle columns), there's legal precedent in the Philippines for your blog, without fear of libel.
Fuck off this is why the Philippines is a third world country. THIRD WORLD MENTALITY!!
First of all, who owns ANC? (I mean, come on!) Second, I think people should look up what libel which generally means (I say generally because of certain legalities which differ from country to country) which in essence refers to a false (<--underlined, italicized, font 100) accusation or representation of someone. By virtue of which comes my third issue with this entire thing which is that the opinions that have come forth on these so-called reputable forums, broadcasts and media publications have targeted everything but finding out the truth. Freedom of speech? Surely with information like this, a reporter or journalist true to his job would do the proper thing which is to investigate the REAL issue further. Surprise, surprise, no can seem to put forth anything to contradict you Brian and instead, waste their saliva on discussing restrictions that should be placed on the internet OR scare people into not talking about it as they CAN be sued for it. One thing they don't realize is that real people like us pay taxes and I'd hate to see the country in uproar just to waste OUR money to sue people (that would still be us) who've expressed their opinions because several spoiled brats couldn't get their mommies and daddies to make all the "bad stuff" go away. What Martina said is true, surely if they were rich enough, they could easily get the money to make it stop (or if they still come up short, the Gucci Gang can all put in their own contributions)... unfortunately, they can only afford to pay lawyers who are most definitely cheaper than Brian's $70,000 dollar request.
Philippine journalism is sad. When you tell the truth, you get killed. Not naming names, the attitude of "familial ties" and clannishness, so called libel charges that can be charged even when substatiated with proof...it allows people to control what the media actually lets you portray. Check the KBP (Kapisanan ng Broadcasters ng Pilipinas) Code. Hahaha. It's a joke.
But given that you do have the burden of proof, then it should not be a problem.
Besides, they'll have to come get you first! And if they shut this blog down (which is HIGHLY unlikely) then move to another address!
There is no truthful "objective" journalist, but this country is so obsessed with gossip and chikka that we've found a way around it, thus the gossip columns and aliases. But naming names, now that's an act of bravery.
GO BRIAN!
saw Tim Yap in a segment with KC Conception's Bday at Virlane Children...
what gall!!!
he looks like he doesn't even know what's happening around him holding that big fake check :D
hahahhaha.... freeloading again??
sheeessssssssssshhhhhhhhhhh!!!
eye lurve eet!!! TROY MONTERO and WENDY PUYAT???????????? the has been and the HO? oH my gawd!!! Troy rammed Wendy's pu**y!!! I so fucking lurve eet!!!
GO TEAM BRIAN!
you're not alone in your fight!
it's not a crime to speak up
and shout the truth from the
rooftops!
BTW, Marco Antonio's family owns Century Properties. Just to let you know.
Will I be sued for libel for that?
that (meaning the article) is a big load of BULLSHIT. a big big BIG load of BULLSHIT.
they want to censor, why now? there have been billions of other issues before you. dahil ba kaya lang ng mga involved bayaran yung government? (just because they can pay the government?) yung media? mga p***ng ina nila! they have absolutely no control over freedom of speech, especially on the internet!
this just proves those people are scared, scared enough that since they know they can't get to you, they're going to go through us, the people who go here and support you. but what can they do? scour ALL the blogs, even the PRIVATE entries that are inaccessible to the public? and even if we don't write about it in our blogs, we can still TALK about it to everyone! and are they going to arrest EVERY SINGLE DAMNED person who gossips in this entire fucked up nation?
it sickens me to realize the extent of the corrupt in this country, just to protect the failings of their kind. it makes me ashamed that they would be filipino.
if you own the truth, and you know you own the truth, as long as you STILL own the truth, don't let up on the pressure, brian. fight!
No need to despair. ALL OF US KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU'RE WRITING ABOUT.
The media cannot quell this upswell of public dissent over the so-called elite.
The Celines, Tims and DJs of this world cannot hold sway over the rest of us. Shove your perceived status and fame up yours, GUCCI GANG!
Power to the oppressed! KEEP THIS BLOG GOING, BRIAN!
no matter what you say or do, they will still be who they are. celine lopez will always be celine lopez. above all of you. hahahaha! so get real.
this blog is getting boring already! add juicy stuff!
Tim Yap holding a big check as donation? P*%^&*$ I@! What a rotten cliche!
Boy Abunda is doing a piss poor performance in trying to clean Tim's image. What he does not realize is that you can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear.
P!%$# Boy Abunda! I hope you don't use that crap "At least tutoong tao ka." excuse again because if you do, ipapabarang na kita!

Get international coverage for this blog. The Philippines is more afraid of what they are seen as in international eyes.
Have the Philippine Government hang the cokeheads as examples to prove they do not favor a few.
Shame the local government of Taguig into action.
Tell bloggers all over the world what is happening here!
Spread the word across the blogosphere! Blog-o-Power.
team brian shirts at embassy!!!
Brian, I admire your tenacity and it's very clear that when you started this, you knew very well all the possible repercussions. Libelous or not you really stirred manila's high society and made a traffic in the blogosphere. You mentioned in one of your posts that this blog will soon be a subject of study and debate and I think it is now because they even called it a "phenomenon". So whether you recover your money or not and whatever will be the outcome of this blog you made a history not counting the supporters you've got.
brian,
wow this blog has gotten way out of hand... please don't take it the wrong way when i say this but it's a little too much.
the comments section is nothing but low blows and unnecessary attacks.
i still agree with you brian that those that have DIRECTLY harmed you such as dj, celine, tim etc, yes, you should dish out the dirt... after all, it's a minute consequence for what they've done to you. not fair... you did it in the name of love but also remember at the end of the day, you partook in it as well by allowing them to malign you. i'm sure you must have had your own suspicions but you allowed it cause your heart and soul came from a good place. i understand that.
however, you fellow bloggers, you guys are just terrible by using this blog to just lambast all kinds and sorts of people just cause they may or may not be connected... if any of them has done anything bad to you directly then by all means, go for it but really you do it cause you can't stand them and there is a touch of jealousy. no matter what, you guys wonder what's it like to be them.
now, please don't assume i am a "gucci gang" lover for i am not, i have had my own personal experiences with the likes of them and am part of a totally different clique but i'd like to think i am a hell of a lot more educated that i will ruin a person cause they did me wrong.
in all honesty guys, these people need help, they are far more lost and stupid than all of you out there. you work hard and that is an admirable trait but as for the drugs, come on, everyone in manila does drugs at one point or another... who gives a crap who snorts what? that's just a sign of insecurity... people, wake up, manila does drugs as does any other city, country out there... give me a break, it's not that shocking!
however, i agree brian... dj stole and maligned you, you should get paid and the rest deserve this as this is a nice wake up call and maybe they'll think twice how they treat people
but please fellow bloggers don't lose focus in brian's fight but saying ridiculous things... you're just wasting your time and giving all of them an ego boost cause YOU MAKE THEM IMPORTANT.
perhaps you guys should think about that...
as for the "gucci gang", namely dj, celine, tina and tim... maybe you guys should be nicer to people then maybe the world will treat you better as well... and seek professional help, i hear cocaine addiction is a bitch to get out of... now i've personally met you guys and you were fairly nice... should you continue that and not look down on so many then maybe like i said, karma will then give you back better responses.
think about it...
I think they are reluctant to pay you B, coz once they do, then you'll close this blog (as promised). But all of us (your dear readers) will know what they truly are & they just "hate" that!!!
You have unleashed an unprecedented attack on "high society" (pun intended) & I daresay, they will never think about "blogs" the same way again!
Go B!
celini and dj you two are totally gross. i mean you befriend this guy brian steal his money then kick him out of the country? or deport whatever. i mean i so totally love scandals especially when im in them like when my cousin ruth tried to poison her classmate jill after she found out jill slept with her husband at their house in punta fuego while she was in Miami last December. so true! she didnt go to jail though good for her. then when i sold one of my dad's olmedo sculpture thingy when james pushed me into paying for the coke he owed his "supplier" at embassy whatever james my dad almost got me into rehab for that you pig! and i know your supplier now this guy i saw at your house at dasma last monday in the white hummer. anyways i mean i know what its like to be fun and fabulous and you dont care what you do and you get out of your suv at the club and people stare at your clothes and your car and my new super pretty marc jacobs purse with the many crystals in them (last season but i dont care) and also my super super pretty blue YSL heels hi!hi!hi! and you dont care coz you just want the attention and for people to get jealous. so true! yes i dont care where your dad gets his money but when you steal from others like from this brian person? my gosh that is so totally cheap like in a soap or something eeeewww! yukk! don't you guys have money anymore being is this blog because of this must be so so shameful why do you have to pretend when you're really poor pala? and celini your birkin is a fake? what about your kelly i saw ages ago? my gosh i was so so jealous when i saw it now i know they're fake yikes! then you befriend this brian person then steal from him and then spend his money yikes! this is so so not classy. why dont you just ask money from your parents? celini im so so shocked to think i was even jealous about the birkin and the diamante necklace thingy you wore at the loungerie party? was that fake too? dont tell me??!! i loved your boots though but you're in one big mess now dear, when we see each other "anywhere" at makati sometime please understand when i act like i don't know you for the meantime. sorry.
LIBEL?
1. DJ OWES a lot of people a lot of money.
2. Celine looks like a boy, and has bad breath.
3. Tina Tinio is FAT.
Are you all blind? It's the TRUTH.
brian, u are a blessing in disguise to us Filipinos. your fight is for your life savings. however to us, ur blog is an awakening. Filipinos reflect... reflect... our country will remain 3rd world for we dont learn from the past. we elect shady politicians... emily relucio became a governor, mark jimenez got elected congressman, the marcoses, the estrada's... it would be a slap in the face f a querida becomes an ambassador to the vatican. if we unite & not tolerate or support shady businesses like the phil rats, gg endorsements, lopez own ANC ... if we think all these are impossible to support against... pity on us. i commend u brian... again thanks for the awakening.
LOL how can you arrest people via IP addresses when a lot of users, especially those coming from the philippines, access the internet at cafes or at random hotspots where they might be at the time of posting. most people here probably have jobs, so their IPs would be their own office's IP. The Lopezes think they live in their own universe. In their universe, they rule and that includes having lawyers (are they even media lawyers?) say something much to their advantage. But hear this, they rule in that universe because they are the only ones there, nobody else. :)
To March 26, 7:50PM
"...but as for the drugs, come on, everyone in manila does drugs at one point or another... who gives a crap who snorts what? that's just a sign of insecurity..."
-I beg to disagree!!!!!!!!!!
ANC is owned by the Lopezes. If I were them I will be scared shit. By "them" I mean those lawyers who are prostituting their services and the media who do the same. "This blog is only a tremor of a bigger social volcanic eruption." They are pushing the people to prefer a dictatorship over a democratic country.
=====================================
I definitely agree! And the next EDSA won't be in the streets anymore. It's gonna be int the internet.
Hooray for Brian! Thank you for starting this. HOY DJ MAGBAYAD KA NA NG UTANG MO ANIMAL KA!
Why is it, that whenever Ms. Tinio is mentioned, this ad shows up:
"5 Tips to Lose Belly Fat
Stop making this 1 major mistake & you'll finally lose your belly fat"
Cracks me up.
are you taking philippine libel laws seriously? piolo pascual and sam milby sued lolit solis for libel just for insinuating that they're gay! and what's wrong/malicious/defamatory about being gay? are piolo and sam telling me that i'm a walking defamation? not this ass sisters.
anyway, any libel suit against you brian and us bloggers will not prosper because while they may sue us for saying bad things about them, if we prove that these things are true, then we're acquitted! people always forget to cite this provision:
Art. 361. Proof of the truth. — In every criminal prosecution for libel, the truth may be given in evidence to the court and if it appears that the matter charged as libelous is true, and, moreover, that it was published with good motives and for justifiable ends, the defendants shall be acquitted.
indeed, the truth will set us free!
naunsa naman tawn nang tawhana oi nga si DJ nagpaka aron ingnon mana cya nga datu tawon. nawong ni celine og dj murag lubot nako. KAWATAN pa jud! gapakaulaw laman sa mga pinoy. nganu imu manang gibuhat nagpaka ulaw man tawn ka oi.. kana sad nag sunodsunod unya nga GUCCI GANG kunohay naunsa sad gud tawn mu inyu man gipaklaro sa tibuok kalibutan nga wala muy grado.. maypa maglatik mu ug tae makabuhi pa ug tanum
Yeah DJ and Celine can try to sue my ass! Maypa mag HIKOG KA DJ UG CELINE. GAPAKAULAW LAMAN MO SA KALIBUTAN.
MARCH 26 (6:56 PM):
If you're going to have a tirade of verbal abuse such as that, you might as well check you grammar first. Sakit sa ulo!
Actually, I am AMAZED how Lex Ledesma tolerated Tina Tinio for what ... a decade? I don't know how you did it buddy.
Myself I can't stand even being with her for two seconds, watching Miss Blubber constantly blabber about HERSELF non-stop.
Just like Celine's column, which is all about herself and her fabulousness. How readers in Manila can stand that garbage, served on a weekly basis ... is WAY beyond me. Her shallow life is NOT FABULOUS. Being a drug addict, she is just being delusional about HERSELF.
And EVERYONE who has been hanging out with these two CLOWNS are FAKE. How could you stand it? You just want some FAKE FAME rubbed off on you.
Brian, please don't blame the system. Blame the people who abuse the system for their ends. These are the same people who have stolen your money from you and who have used their influence to terrorize and malign you and drive you out of this country. Unless someone has balls enough to challenge them and use the system as it should be used, this will just happen and happen again. I trust that you Brian have balls enough to challenge these people. It might take a foreigner to correct our system. We Filipinos are happy people but we're cowards sometimes when we're being pushed back. We're coward to do the right thing when we're challenged. You've said that you have nothing more to lose. I say why not take this all the way. You are given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to help bring change in a country that's begging for it. Your principles and morals are still intact, unlike us who have helped in one way or another, directly or indirectly, bring these people to their positions of abuse, arrogance and delusional grandeur. Go to court, sue their asses, get your money back and make them pay dearly for their mistakes.
I agree with anonymous 6:45, Let them do talk about your blogs on TV, I am sure Brian, your loyalists here in the Philippines won't leave you because WE all believe that you are fighting for your rights and for your money of course... Shame on DJ!
I dunno if they would be successful in closing this blog but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Brian, why don't you put up another blog at another site where they can't touch you. Preferably an aussie blog site. That way if they do close this site you're already ready. And your lawyers would be near the company that hosts your blog to parry any of the attempts to shut you down.
Maybe you should start selling merchandise too? Like shirts lol. Just a thought coz I'd buy one.
Brian, do you have a paypal account setup somewhere? or a P.O. box? I'd like to send you some money for the best entertainment I've had in awhile. If we can get 70,000 readers to send in like a dollar each, you'd have your money back and hopefully restore some faith that not all Filipinos are like Mr. Montano and his ilk.
They can do what they want. all the options which money can buy BUT it will never change the TRUTH.
TRUTH that DJ deceived Brian.
TRUTH that they are so into coke & messed a lot.
Im 10000% sure DJ will not pay. But it will take a helluva lot of time for people to forget not just him but all about them.
Im also sure they will have the guts to hold their heads up high!
Kapal.
All the best to you Brian. TC.
Yes whatever happened to FREEDOM OF SPEECH...?!? well they can try to stifle everyone who comes to this site, yeah try suing thousands of people just because they post links to this blog...
Obviously, this is part of the Lopez campaign to shut this blog down or at the very least scare people from visiting the site. We all know who owns ANC... Celine may not exactly be a part of the LOPEZ family that owns ABS but still her family may have done enough begging to assist them in protecting the "privacy, virtue and reputation" of their precious daughter, MY ASS!!!!
And I thought the Lopez's were victims of Martial Law, they should have learned something from that experience.
Respect the Freedom of Speech, this is an absolute right, otherwise we are not fit to say that we live in a DEMOCRATIC country.
If you think the libel thing is shit, then everyone who linked this page in their sites or talked about this in your own blogs, DONT TAKE IT DOWN. Keep posting and linking the URL. At the very least--spread the truth--DJ Montano is a thief! and his accomplices are scammers!
When Brian shut down his blog a few weeks ago, several people in online forums felt a tremendous lost after following the updates on the blog for several days and then finding it all gone...many of these people, particular from the femalenetwork forum expressed that they wished that someone had backed-up Brian's blog before it had been shut down...
i think we should ALL make back-ups of Brian's blog in case Brian decides to shut it down again or in case blogspot shuts it down for good...then we can all sign up for free blog accounts and reproduce Brian's blogs online as a way to archive this for years to come

Freedom of speech is not absolute..
Its has limitations. This is true in any part of the Globe.
I'm not a lawyer... But i guess the limitations to this freedom is:
1. being fair (even there is great and overwhelming evidence that the other party being discussed is at fault or guilty.
2. GMRC - Good manners and right conduct.
And i think that majority of commenters and those writing about this issue should not get into trouble - charged with any case - coz for one, they (most of them) are just stating their opinion and the feelings that they show in their posts is a result of their belief (they were convinced) about what brian has written.
What about the case of Malou Fernandez? a lot of netizens called her so many names and accused her of a lot of things... why were they not afraid? Where was libel in all of this?
ANC/ABS CBN was all for press freedom during the recent coup at that Makati hotel. their reporters wouldn't leave the site kahit na may orders ang military to vacate the area.
jamby madrigal threatened to reveal the dark secrets of neri if he refuses to testify before the senate.
media people and politicians say the people have the right to know what's going on if it helps their ratings or their agenda.
so sila lang ba ang may freedom to express their opinion and to make exposé?
tayo wala?

"about the little troll that is Patrick. What will your wealthy private banking clients say of you at Morgan Stanley? Thank God my money is not with you no matter how much you tried to rim my ass and worship the ground I walk on. Oh my god! Sucking Marco’s cock isn’t enough. Both of you should be called tweedle pee and tweedle cum. You should throw in Ricky Delgado as your alternate. The three of you can win an academy award for showing the world what studs you are (well, not flamboyant and super-gay Patrick) when in fact you love cocks more than life itself. This is an open secret everyone knows about. Bravo for trying to act straight. Ricky, you are a fucking mean and shrewd businessman. One day, you will fall flat in your face."
Aha, could this be the much awaited confirmation that Jose Ricardo Delgado AKA Ricky Delgado is gay.
Not to confuse anyone the other Ricky Delgado is his dad, Ricardo C. Delgado.. anyway this Ricky Delgado is the President, COO (Child Of the Owner)of Citadel Holdings, a privately owned company based in Makati and is soon to be the company's Chairman.
Indeed, he is a shrewd business man and an all time ASSHOLE, he blabbers about all things but in fact he doesn't know what he is talking about, so now you we have a Brainless Faggot... Shame, shame, shame!!! Now Ricky, start mobilizing Atty. Henry to cover up your faggotry...
what brian want is you dj to pay up..then he stop.
you use this guy and run away with his money and we filipino want to tell the whole world were not like you eventhough were not as rich as you.
Honestly. I've seen Tim Yap and some of the G.G. at events, and I gotta say, what Brian tells us is pretty much the truth. Especially the part about Tim Yap. I was at a Nokia Event a few months ago and Tim Yap was hosting. He took the phone from the cradle, showed it to the crowd and started talking for 10 minutes non-stop about it. He failed to realize that he was holding the phone UPSIDE DOWN. And before you ask, the phone was right side up when he picked it up. I didn't think of that much at that time, now it just kinda makes sense.
Welcome to the PHILIPPINES!!!
The only place in the world where one's MONEY can buy FREEDOM OF SPEECH! :D
grabe naman. kinakaladkad na din ung mga pangalan ng iba na wala naman sa post ni brian. its unfair for these people. tsaka mapanghusga talaga ang tao. lets first knwo the other side of the coin before making judgement or better shut up if you dont really know the person well.
There is no absolute laws here in the Philippines for cyberspace. What they say about blog content and arresting people is just crap. Also... ANC is ABS-CBN is Lopez.
My god, they'd go and trace down every IP address that left a comment in here and arrest everyone's ass for that? They can't even reprimand their own kids for stealing money from a sick person.
Keep writing, Brian.
does that mean i cant sell t-shirts with the following :
"I'm a slut, my daughters a cokewhore, so what, I'm HIGH SOCIETY"
the background is the picture of emily relucio lopez that i got from brian's blog
Love don't get pissed off w/ that kind of news or threat...well you can't expect anything nice about FREEDOM in this DAMNED COUNTRY that's why we're still one of the 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES....FOREVER!!!!!
They're throwing heaps of nonsense things to you but they haven't discussed the MAIN ISSUE....this SH**'s DEBT...WHERE THE FU** is BRIAN'S LIFE SAVINGS....This rich or elite people (for THEIR perusal) wanted(not needed) fame and wealth through corruption,lies and betrayal(to friends or relatives)
I'm not scared, I'll support you all the way
Take Care
KRYPTO
LOL, threatening to sue is merely a scare tactic. That's how the high society socialites react when they want to intimidate people. They harass the people thinking that the people don't know the law. Shame on them, thinking they own the world and that they can shoot down whoever they want. You may be filthy rich, but you do not own the world and the internet.
It's funny when they say that quoting can be libelous. Quoting cannot be libelous, that's why you're quoting. By quoting, you are merely relaying a piece of information said by another person.It doesn't mean you claim it as your own statement. When you do, that's plagiarism.
Go Brian, fight for what is yours! Long live the blogging community. Don't be afraid! Fight for our freedom on the internet. Besides, they can't possibly sue more than 100,000 bloggers all at the same time.It will cost them so much more.
"I personally has never met, seen or even hear about u until this fucking blog came out and you know what, because of the comments section of your which u originally failed to control, you ruined my relationship with my family as well!"
-i personally 'has never seen or even hear' so many grammatical lapses in one sentence. you're a joke.
not hiding behind anonymous so sue my ass Lopez,
C.
Poor little rich boys and girls, it is too late for you to redeem yourselves by shutting out this blog. Your bad reputation is already instilled in millions of people's mind. We will never look at you as we use to do. We will be watching you.
That is such a stupid article. First and foremost, it's very hard to prove libel in court. To try to prove it against a private individual writing on his web log, which is by definition a personal online journal, is practically impossible (and to suggest otherwise is ridiculous). If what that article implies were really true, then no one would ever be able to blog about anything.....blogs like Perez Hilton, Gawker, Chikatime would've all been pushed off the web long ago.
But the point here is, Brian, you're not a journalist and this is your private blog. Everything expressed here in your blog by you and by the commenters are individual opinions written by private citizens, so anyone trying to prove libel or even defamation can go fuck their lawyers.
Let the Inquirer, Star, and media outlets say what they want to say for themselves--they're held to a different standard of reporting (even if we were to entertain the idea, only 1 or 2 high profile libel cases against journalists have ever been won in the Philippines and it took a President to win one).
Don't worry, Brian. THEY CAN'T TOUCH YOU.
C'MON, DUDES... LAY OFF CELINE, IF UR MOM IS AN AMBITIOUS HUBBY-GRABBING WHORE, AND UR DAD IS A THIEF, YOU TOO WOULD JUST WANT TO SNORT COKE MORNING, NOON, AND NIGHT TO ESCAPE THE REALITIES OF LIFE.
IF YOU'RE AS PRETTY AS WENDY PUYAT, OF COURSE YOU'D KNOW TROY MONTERO WON'T BE ABLE TO RESIST WHAT'S BETWEEN YOU LEGS. AND IF YOU'RE WENDY PUYAT WHO MARRIES A DISINHERITED HOTUNG, OF COURSE YOU'LL CHOOSE TO HAVE AN AFFAIR.
IF YOU'RE AS UGLY AS DJ & ALL YOUR FRIENDS ARE PRETTY & RICH, BUT YOU GOT AN ORIFICE WHERE THE SUN DOES NOT SHINE, OF COURSE YOU'D WANT TO USE THAT AS YOUR ONE & ONLY ASSET TO MAKE SOME MONEY SO YOU CAN AFFORD THE SAME THINGS, COKE INCLUDED, THAT YOUR FRIENDS INDULGE IN.
IF YOU'RE AS BIG-BONED AS TINA OF COURSE YOU'LL... AH... AH... YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO TURN SIDEWAYS ALL THE TIME WHEN A CAMERA IS SHOVED AT YOUR FACE SO IT CAPTURES YOUR "BETTER SIDE" (WHICH SIDE?). AND IF YOU GOT A NICE LOOKING SISTER WHO'S 25 SIZES SMALLER THAN YOU, OF COURSE YOU'D ENTERTAIN THE THOUGHT YOU JUST MIGHT BE AN ADOPTED KID AND THEN YOU'D ALSO WANT TO DO COKE CUZ YOUR GENES ARE SCREWED UP.
IF YOU'RE AS FILTHY RICH AS PATRICK REYNO, OF COURSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE YOUR GENDER.
IF YOU'RE AS FLAKY AS TIM YAP, AND YOU GOT A TINY DICK, OF COURSE YOU'LL JUST PREFER TO SUCK RATHER THAN BE THE ONE SUCKED (SO LOVER DOES NOT KNOW/SEE UR REAL SIZE).
AND IF YOU'RE LIKE ANA ANGARA WHOSE DAD BEDS A COLLEAGUE IN THE SENATE & THEN BEDS THE COLLEAGUE OF HIS EX-SENATE COLLEAGUE LOVER (YOU FOLLOW?), YOU'D ALSO WANT TO CHANGE UR SEXUAL PREFERENCE. OR JUST SNORT COKE AND TRAIPSE IN WONDERLAND ALL DAY.
SO SEE? THESE PEOPLE, NO MATTER HOW WARPED THEY ARE, ARE JUST LIKE US... THEY HAVE ISSUES TOO, REAL ISSUES, AS REAL AS THE DYSFUNCTIONAL HOMES THEY GREW UP IN... AND THEY DEAL WITH THOSE ISSUES THE BEST WAY THEY CAN.
Teka, teka..
ANAK, ANO BAH?! NASAN NA YUNG BINILI MONG BABY POWDER SA... EMBASSY BA KAMO? PAHINGI NGA NG KONTI, MA-I-TERNO DINE SA NILALAKLAK KONG GIN KASI I HAVE ISSUES, EH. AH, OK... OK... IKAW NGA PALA ANG MAY ISSUE ANAK. AT AKO YUN! DON'T CRY ANAK, STOP SNORTING COKE NA. PROMISE I WILL BUY U A "TEAM BRIAN" TSHIRT!

Interesting input.
However, if I may just say this--you may sound like you are one of those rich kids who live and party in the dasma-forbes-fort area, you may even be a bonafide rich kid driving around in your parents-bought-this-for-me SUV while admiring your latest "it" bag; but your english sure is atrocious.
I suggest you pay more attention to school--take a remedial english class--than your bejewelled Marc Jacobs bag from last season.
Honey, all the "it" bags in the world, all your parents' money, all Louboutins Christian can produce in his lifetime cannot buy you class if you think, write and speak this way.
You sound like you're FOB from Xiamen, sweetie.
Stop wasting your time envying what Celine has-- whether kelly bag or bad breath--and get a life instead.
This blog should be a lesson to you or else you're missing the point.

12:28 pm - my nose, my nose, my kingdom for a nose!
what's the big deal about rhinoplasty? Sure, Dr. Vicky has stared at me long enough to bring up the idea, and when I was in grade school, my half-white classmates mocked me with their genetically perfect nosies, but I don't see why my roots have to be altered for the sake of (ah, the word!) vanity. Sure, I down ephedrine as often as Michael Jackson gets fondled by a 12 year old boy, I religiously hit the gym in the manner of the rosary, but going under the knife is a totally different deal. slightly unnatural, a lil bit too morbid for me, and I just might be allergic to anaesthesia. Call me Lo-nose anytime!

If she was trying to be ironic or sarcastic in what she wrote, she sure did a bad job of it.
"Here’s what could get bloggers into trouble if they’re covering the issue.
"Publicly mentioning names of people being exposed in the blog.
"Posting pictures of the people being named by Brian Gorrell in his blog.
"Publishing the URL of the blog or linking to the blog.
"Quoting a libelous sentence on the blog or re-publishing/summarizing allegations thereof.
"The personalities and families of the people being exposed in the blog are desperate to end this and looks like they’re doing everything they can to stop people from talking about it and they will include bloggers too."
Because of this, you have unleashed the wrath of the bloggers. This site will become far bigger than you think. Many more will take notice, discuss and propagate this website. People all over the world will know about your sordid tales of scumming, snorting and stealing from the good-hearted Filipinos. You will not enter any public space without people muttering about your disgrace. They will not meet your eyes. You will be treated like a pile of shit walking around, abuzz with flies. Anything you touch will turn into shit. Businesses will protect their interest and not hire you. Your businesses will crumble. Future generations will discuss all of this as a cautionary tale. They will spit on your graves once all of you are dead and your names will be mentioned with a horrific shudder.
I'm all for justice and whatever, but dude.
It's not "the Philippine's", but rather "the Philippines". At least respect the country enough to spell it right.
Your quarrel is with a few people. Few people do not a country make.
Good luck with your quest for justice.

Brian, I'm sorry to say that the momentum is subsiding down. After all the accusations and the hatred have been thrown at the "Gucci Gang", most people will eventually lose interest and move on. It doesn't help also that this "episode" will have a disappointing, predictable ending. DJ , not paying you back and the Gucci Gang , after a few months of silence, riding out the tempest, are back in the limelight as if nothing had happened. That's a reality in this part of the world. We easily forget and not learned our lessons.
Let me give you a recent example..I vividly remember months ago when this popular series on television about celebrities living together in a "house" was the talk of the town for its 2007 season. Celebrities that came and go out of there were subjected to a barrage of criticisms by viewers who saw and nitpick every fault they make. As the show was winding down to its final week of telecasts, a guest celebrity made a suprising, unforgivable blunder and what seems like a career-ending faux-pas. Under the influence of alcohol , she was heard madly cursing on to a popular mainstay of the house. Immediately after that scene, blogs everywhere sprouted just to express the masses' extreme revulsion for her.It seemed a riotous mob is out to get their retribution and beat her to a pulp. Even You-tubers joined in the fray and the comments there then reminds me of the people's comments here now. During those period, there was no doubt she was the most hated person on TV .
Fast forward to date..the said celebrity is popular as ever, even doing more shows than ever before..Instances like that are a dime- a- dozen..sad to say..
My point is.. people easily forget, Brian..That's the sad reality. Im so sorry what happened to you..But am afraid that after the people have their fill of the free-for-all trashings here, this will all be, just a mere exercise in futility. I sincerely hope that you'll attain your sole objective..Maybe explorin' other venues will give you a much favorable result in attaining your goal..
Peace..
"I personally has never met, seen or even hear about u until this fucking blog came out and you know what, because of the comments section of your which u originally failed to control, you ruined my relationship with my family as well!"
BOOHOOHOO FOR YOU! GO TAKE A PILL!
The people that were mentioned in this blogs are public figures and all these time, they have been hogging the magazine covers. If you can not stand the heat, get out of the kitchen and hibernate in the Himalayas. I just hope that you will just go away and never be seen again. Without you, Philippines will be a much nicer place.
hey guys. the person who wrote the other blog entry (yugatech) is a respected person as far as blogs are concerned in the philippines. consider him as being in the forefront of blogging in this country. so no, he didnt write it because he's jealous of brian. met the guy one time and he's exactly the techie type who doesnt care at all what other people think. i think he just gave his own opinion on this situation as well as a few insights since he's been sued for libel as well. helps to have the point o view of someone who's been there.
Hi brian, dont mind them! I bet they're just one of the GG. Those bitches!
We are in as free country and they are the criminals!! DJ, will you just pay off?? And celine, f*ck off!
leave troy alone!
he's mine!!!
PEOPLE,
LET US STICK WITH THE ONE ISSUE
===== THAT DELFIN DJ MONTANO SHOULD PAY BRIAN. THAT'S IT.
PERIOD!
WE NEED NOT DWELL ON THE ACCESSORIES THOUGH.
AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, WE ARE NOT "MALIGNING" PEOPLE WHATEVER THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION IS.
THIS IS NOT GAY BASHING OR DISCRIMATION. WE LOVE GAY PEOPLE.
AS SUCH, PLEASE, DJ... PAY UP..
PAY UP..PAY UP..PAY UP..PAY UP..PAY UP..PAY UP..PAY UP..PAY UP..PAY UP..PAY UP..PAY UP..PAY UP..

ANC's Square Off (the debate show) is having a debate on the pros and cons of blogs. it's airing right now.
there have been a lot of references about this blog.
just thought you guys might wanna watch.
RELAX!!!!
Wait till you watch ANC tmrw then JUDGE!
Oh yes!!!! Journalists get salvaged baby. Don't judge.
The best way to end this BLOG? give the $70,000 back to Brian, period!
The thing about Philippines (my country) is that, crooks will try to find LOOPHOLES as much as they can to hid their true colors. But they cannot, no matter how much they try.
Crooks in my country will do everything they can. Corruption is everywhere. Remember, in my country you can bribe everybody even the people from the church. Show real cash and they will be eager to help you.
Look at Erap Estrada, Marcoses, Lopez's etc etc. All of them are crooks yet the church, judges and some people are still supporting them.
Do NOT be afraid BRIAN and please don't come to Philippines for god sake. Unless you want to see your self in a box ahaha then come. There is NO such thing as NO crocodile in my country. Justice mostly cannot be served here. Crooks are everywhere. Fight for what is right brian. We will rally behind you!
Just as a refresher, the family of Celine has nothing to do with owning or running such companies as Meralco, ABS, First Gen, Bayantel etc, they are related but it is the other decent side of the Lopezes' controlling these companies, Celine's family has no shareholdings thereof
hey brian, don't get me wrong...i support you all the way. but i don't think it's fair to drag the names of the other members of the so-called "gg gang" just because.
i understand that you want to humiliate dj,tim and celine and i say it serves them right. but what about those people who are merely associated or friends of those three? like tina, jackie and marco antonio etc... i don't remember you saying that they too helped in stealing your money.
i know you're very hurt and just want your money back but still try to reflect. you're just putting yourself in their icky level
Justice in the Philippines doesn't exist unless you have the money and know a powerful person. Freedom of speech does not exist in the Philippines,but corruption do! if you know any "higher ups" then you're good. Sad to say but the judicial system back home is not effective at prosecuting and punishing individuals for corruption when abuses are uncovered.. great example the president itself. Shameful! it is such an embarrassment what these so called "gucci gang" did to. Who the hell are these ppl anyway?
I am with you Brian!
Get yourself a Wordpress blog, and some offshore hosting.. and start mirroring your site. If Google does get a C&D that they follow, just move servers.
YUGATECH IS SCARED TO BLOG ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE HE IS ORIGINALLY FROM GUIMARAS SO HE HAS VESTED INTERESTS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S WHY HE IS SCARED SHITLESS OF THE LOPEZES!!!!!!!
ALSO HE NEVER BLOGS ANYTHING INVOLVING HIS SPONSORS SO GUESS WHAT.. HE HAS TO PROTECT THAT TOO.
FOREFRONT OF BLOGGING MY ASS... HE'S MORE LIKE A SELF-PROCLAIMED BULLSHIT OF BLOGGING.
YUGATECH DOES NOT HAVE ANY CREDIBILITY WHATSOEVER.
PERIOD.
Brian, you are lucky to be residing in a country the protects its citizenries from oppressors and the likes.
In the Philippines, the judicial system was deliberately crafted to permit loopholes so that people in the right places can make some money out of it.
One reason why you crossed paths with a Filipino like DJ who will con his way to get a few bucks is because Filipino kids were raised in a wrong way as we have people in government like our President calling a COMELEC official for the added votes, Judicial people calling Malacanang that their requests have been granted, Bishops and Priest who ask for millions in donation, Police Officers who ask for bribe money, etc.
How do you expect Filipinos to do what is right when what they see day in and day out are people around them doing what is proven to be wrong?
It is indeed very sad and the only way to solve this problem in the Philippines is for an entire generation to die and start fresh with a new generation that is innocent of everything.
hindi na tuloy nag uupdate ng post si bryanboy sa blog nya....
i dont know baka takot na sya makasuhan ng libel, hehehe, luv u BB
the credit should be given to him, we must admit the fact that na nasensationalize lang naman to because of his blog ;)
bryanboy.com
to blogger he said, she said:
where's your user profile?
Gumawa ka lang ata para makacomment dito. you didn't even put your name or even a pic in your user profile.
tsk...tsk..
takot ka sa libel noh?
hahaha
One word: FIGHT
BG is fighting for his money from that crook DJ.
I hope the people posting/reading this blog actually take to heart what is being posted here (re: social change). Letting fucking THFs that have raped the filipino people and STILL continue to do so is what is holding back the rest of the country. Philippines IS a 3rd world country because the few people with money abuse the system. Filipino people are amazing people who don't deserve having to live in a 3rd world country.
They can try to stop 1 person, but they can't stop the masses!
I will NEVER run out of things to write on my blog.
I will get my money back.
One way or another.
Trust me.
Brian
yugatech has been sued for libel, i think before. that's why he is scared.
Please, please please please.... LEAVE Eric Cua OUTTA this... He's a self-made men. Being co-partner doesnt always mean u embrace ur partner's way of living. So please again... leave eric outta this mess.
Joey Z.
Can someone tell me the story about Angelique Vilaraza and her fallout with the GG? What happened?
Also, how did the "Gucci Gang" name come about? Do they really call themselves that? Who thought of it?

He is correct Brian. You can easily import your entries here to wordpress. So you don't have to worry about blogger closing this when a C& D order is given.
youre right man, this blog is all you have. the pen is mightier than the sword. wield it, flaunt it like a 10,000 peso Birkin bag (yung orig ha)!
TO anonymous 6:56pm
Tim Yap? Celine Lopez? DJ? Istatue? :))
My gaaaad, The people involved in this fiasco adds up to the crises that us Filipinos are facing. Pain in the ass fucking spoiled brats! And their families are making it worse! For pete's sake!
Please, leave some dignity to our country and pay the f*ing $70,000 to this guy! Arg.
who's going to give a C&D order? the australian court or the philippine court? if it's the philippine court, can it be implemented in australia? i don't think so.
Now I can't help it.
Whenever I think of Celine or see a photo of hers, my thoughts go ,"BAD BREATH? She has BAD BREATH? How could she have BAD BREATH? She's pretty cute but does she really have BAD BREATH? BAD BREATH....BAD...BREATH...I can't believe it! No, she couldn't possibly have BAD BREATH! She would know. Or someone would have told her maybe? That's a pretty Birkin bag she's holding....she has BAD BREATH? BAD BREATH. Celine. BAD. BREATH."
I would die if there was any itsie bitsie rumor around me of having BAD BREATH!
When I think of DJ, I go, "Thief. Thief. Thief. Estafador. Estafador. I wonder if he's got BAD BREATH, too? They say his bff does! Oh my gosh, Celine has BAD BREATH???"
I was at Zen Zest Store today in Ayala. Saw a poster of Tim Yap for some product Zen Zest he's endorsing. The salesgirl made a sales pitch to me. I said no, thank you and told her that I will not buy any product endorsed by him due to his questionable drug-related lifestyle.
More power to you, Brian.
EXCITING!!!! I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE DEVELOPMENTS!!!
1. ANC hovering over the issue, the way I see is that they are testing the water. Would talking about it make the blog disappear or make it more popular? Do take note, its ANC, not any of the more mainstream channels.
2. Again, talk about libels. Do read the comments, they are a wealth of information. DUHHHHHH. People describe the blog as libelous but have they defined it legally? If my memory serves me correctly - libel has two components is that it is false and that it was done with malicious intent. No one has denied any of the blog entries and it was not to malign these personalities but to pressure them, for the peripheral people to nag DJ Montano to pay what he took from Brian Gorell.
Sure... people have short memory, its a question of spin. So what is next?
a. a senate hearing in aid of legislation?
b. newspapers to really print more about it
c. mainstream tv to discuss about it

"Aha, could this be the much awaited confirmation that Jose Ricardo Delgado AKA Ricky Delgado is gay."
==========
YES HE IS!!!
Long long ago, when the Delgado's still had IslaCom (the GSM network that Globe bought out), I had the privilege (NOT) of working with him. It was a TV ad shoot. After a long take, our male talent was sweating beads. And what does Rickyboy Jr. do? Walk up to the talent and tenderly wipe the sweat off his face. And when I say tenderly, talagang tenderly. Nagulantang ang buong crew!!! Pati ang direk napatili. Ay vakla siya. He totally ignored the beautiful female talent. And then, when it was time to go home...aba, sino ang pinasakay niya sa car niya? Yung male talent. Wonder what they did.
Brian, you can forget DJ paying up. If he owes you money, I'm sure he owes money to others too. Make money off this blog. Write a book. Sell T-Shirts. Become a brand!!! Take advantage of all the PR generated by this blog. As Lucy in Peanuts said, "When life gives you lemons, MAKE LEMONADE!!!"
"ALSO HE (YUGATECH) NEVER BLOGS ANYTHING INVOLVING HIS SPONSORS SO GUESS WHAT.. HE HAS TO PROTECT THAT TOO."
Naturally. You don't bite the hand that feeds you (or pays you as much as this guy makes off of his blog)...unless, of course, he's somehow related to DJ...
hey people, check this out ---

this explains a lot why brian and celine have become con artists
hindi magbubunga ng santol ang manga!
Pay up DJ so Ryan will shut up. That is the only solution to end your nightmare. You really look cunning and also your friends, specially Celine. Sue me for libel? It is my observation. Do not let your face show in magazines so you will not receive insults. You do not have IT so don't flaunt it.
Ha ha ha ha. Que locura. Carajo. Ya know, no one should try to take the topic to something else simply bec the dude cannot PAY UP. I swear I hear depressing news back home. So sad. El cabron tiene que pagar, eso es simplemente el caso. Hijo de.
this is the official statement of tim yap when interviewed about alleged photos of manny pacquio dancing with other females at Embassy (from gmanews.tv website):
"Embassy as an establishment will always uphold the confidentiality of our valued customers. Whatever we see and hear from other people, that's part of their own freedom and responsibility. It's their own discretion to do what they choose to do. In the end, we are just after good, clean, wholesome fun. We say no to violence and anything immoral in the eyes of the public. We have installed 64 roving cameras and bouncers inside and outside the club for added security, not to mention police mobiles and precinct right outside the club. Plus roving security. In the end though...whatever happens inside the club, stays inside the club."
Very carefully selected words, he said nothing about being against drugs and sex. I wonder if has those roving cameras inside the rest rooms as well?
what happened to the sitemeter?
Brian, Do not worry. Walang credibility yan si Yugatech. Kasi

I am a Filipino and I support you in your fight for justice. The Gucci Gang deserves this and you should not give up.
However, I do feel that one blog or newspaper article does not represent the mentality of all Filipinos. What the blogger feels does not reflect how Filipinos think.
In the same way that the Gucci Gang does not represent the Philippines.
I just hope Brian that with your fight, you do not help smear our country and the Filipinos. One post that I find alarming is the Philippines being compared to Nazi Germany. Even the Germans will not like that comment.
Keep fighting.
I am a lawyer and I can certainly determine the real issue at hand. DJ MONTANO OWES BRIAN GORRELL $70,000.00. Don't divert the issue into a legal one.
shut up YUGA!
muchlove,
AngelicMom
Hi, Brian! I came across this site. Might be interesting to you...scroll down and read about Emily Relucio "Lopez" - her maltreatment case...
http://janineislove.multiply.com/journal/item/45/THE_CELINE_LOPEZ-TIM_YAP-DJ_MONTANO_SCANDAL
As you know Emily was the mistress of Albertito, his first wife was a Mejia, they have beautiful children --- can't say the same for Emily & A's kids. Since she's a homewrecker, I guess her KARMA is her 2 children with Albertito --- Celine & Tito are really fucked up. Their Lolo Fernando Lopez must be turning, no, SPINNING in his grave!
That's just about the most ridiculous piece of garbage I have ever heard of! Hey, Philippines - why don't you solve other problems, like, oh, I don't know - rampant corruption, pollution, traffic, poverty, a stagnant third-world economy? Why the F**k should the government waste its resources on Brian Gorrell and his hundreds of thousands supporters for "libel"? HAHAHAHA. Freakin' ridiculous.
DJ pay up you snotty little bastard. (Sue me.)
I don't think this will ever stop. even if brian gets paid, the trash talking will continue. maybe not in this blog, but we'd probably find another venue or maybe just in our coffee tables. we will find more scandalous and juicier exposes concerning the GG. we would shame them until the next big scandal explodes. maybe a bigger and better celebrity will fall into the cracks.
admit it guys, we love doing this, we like to kick people while they are on the ground. but it's much more satisfying to kick them when they're clad in designer clothes with spotlights flashed on them. isn't it? it is a really sad part of the human psyche but it is human nature nonetheless.
it's just like smoking, drinking or drugs, or even eating too much sweet and fatty food stuff, we all know it's bad for us and to the people around us but we still do it. simply because it's fun. it's human nature. we can't have it any other way.
till the next scandal hits, i sure will keep on kicking. maybe i'll just stop when the spotlights are on me. but i don't think they'd be as bright as this. it probably wouldn't be bright at all. :)
I'm one who likes to look at the brighter side of things, filipino may not have freedom of speech, but they certainly have reckless freedom to steal, cheat, murder and corrupt!
You can easily count in both hands the number of criminals in the government, and that's just the parents.
to 1:04 am
About 6:56, I think it's Tim Yap kasi mali mali English niya.
Keep fighting Brian. Until you get that order to shut this down, keep blogging. Fuck all the haters. Freedom of speech? We fought so hard to have our freedom back in the Philippines in 1986, but people like DJ, et al, and their ilk, have been using it to scare people like you from exposing their dirt. Enough is enough!
Hi Anonymous 6:43! Your inside story is what compelled me to finally comment on this blog. I want to be so mean but I'm still scared of karma.
Brian, we met In Bora--at Jude's and I recall you mentioning about this swindling experience. I would like to commend you for this brave fight. You give me hope that justice might eventually exist in this country if there's a public clamor to support you, especially these manufactured wannabes would do anything to distort truth.
I went to school with Celine and she has always been a disturbed child. Back as a teenager, she told teachers that her mom used to beat her up that's why she's absent from class. She would actually injure herself to look battered. The nuns actually called for her mom. I'm sharing this because you are up against someone who is abnormal. She herself would destroy her (well already destroyed)family for even mundane and selfish reasons such as cutting class.
Since birds of the same feathers flock together, they are all abnormal!!!
I personally know all these free loaders and posers.
My tip for you my dearest Brian--- hit them where it will really hurt. An honorable name, a dignified status in society is not something these people would care about. Remember, they are shallow and hedonistic. Hit them with losing opportunities to support their vices. Hit them with losing their comfort. If you can find a sponsor.... do so. Provide for all their vices. Let them drug themselves to death. They are already depressed so thrive and leverage on that. Send them more coke, Ks, Es, and the likes. Provide them with the easy way out. Refresh your memory as to what other weaknesses these losers have. Strike them there.
Conspire with their former friends to pose as concerned friends and feed them chocolates, cheeses, drinks galore so they all look fat. For these losers, all that matters is what's tangible, visible and quantifiable. Make moves on how to make them obviously ugly. With the way they already look , it shouldn't be so hard. Make them poor! Write to head offices of their favorite signature brands. Provide their profile and ban them from the stores and from any purchase. Destroy their fucking face value in Singapore, HK, Paris, etc.
They are nobody abroad. Even Celine's family was bumped off in flights in Europe--as in deplaned. Her parents were not able to do anything! Sad to say that no matter what amount of money they put across, they're still 3rd class citizens!!! Unknown and unrecognized by the real VIPs abroad.
Collaborate with those who hold evidence on their malfunctions so they won't have livelihood even!
XXXX
Celine, to be fair, I know you were once good. You have a great focus when you are motivated to excel. However, you chose the evil path and you should know, as well as your peers, that there are consequences for wrong choices and rewards for the right ones. You already know you and your family are dysfunctional, straighten things up and start doing right from hereon! You're a full grown monster with sad tears running in your veins instead of healthy blood.
Good luck Brian! I'd love to help you with evidence like photos and videos of them snorting but sayang my phone got stolen a few months ago. This is it for now.
Cheers!
Celine, DJ Montano, Tim Yuck, ta-Bea-chingching, Marcel tax-evader Crespo, Ana 'lesbo' Angara.
There! I name names!
Now sue fucking me!!!
to brian,
keep it rolling, man. these GG morons and their lawyers don't know shit about the internet. i hope they continue to piss off the bloggers and netheads so the cyber version of project mayhem could be unleashed.
libel, my ass.
you're talking about law. does the philippines have any law about the internet? electronic content?
even new york has yet to define who owns the content of a forwarded email using a company's address and who gets the flak if the email is defamatory. and that's in nueva fucking york.
trying to contact google? this is really funny. mwahahahahahahaha! even the US supreme court can't make google cough up a single datum in aid prosecution, and the US senate in aid of legislation.
why? because doing that would be evil.
and google's motto is: DON'T BE EVIL.
try that delfin justiniano. don't be evil. start by PAYING THE FUCK UP!
{coffee - still supporting from NYC}
PS: brian, your mom is awesome, rearing you to be the man that you are now. someone who speaks out when a wrong has been done.
had it not been a lopez and a tim yap who got involved in this controversy, the big networks would have probably been raking revenues now.. yes, it'd surely be a big show on tv.
The guy who wrote that is a 'blogger' Brian. His only concern is his pageviews, adsense ad whatever online advertising systems there are out there, his advertisers, his feed subscribers. There people are not journalists. Coward bloggers. What a shame.
TFC is ABS CBN
ABS CBN is owned by Lopez
Celine is Lopez
That answers the question !
to anonymous 1:27AM... who's RYAN? if brian also goes by ryan, i'm sorry. i may be misinformed. ;)

Yes I know that blogging about the names/people mentioned are libelous that’s why I never blogged about it. I know others tackled the legal issues involved which is good.
even the anonymous commenters are liable if they made slanderous comments. They think they are anonymous. Wait till there is a court order requesting for those IP numbers.
Who knows the parties involved will spring a surprise?
Abe Olandres aka Yugatech is indeed a COWARD.
He's always there at product launches and events... always blogging about what's new (as long as there's free lunch involved), always endorsing products left and right. As soon as complaints start rolling in, expect him to keep his silence.
How can you trust someone like that?
I agree to the poster who said he's got no credibility.
Why?
HE'S PAID TO KEEP HIS SILENCE!
CHEAP, ISN'T IT?
I lost respect to Abe ever since he appeared on those auction ads.
What a sell-out!
The only reason why he aligned himself as "pro-blogger" is for him to get endorsement deals BEFORE any other blogger gets it.
Abe and his yucky little clique.
Abe Olandres aka Yugatech is indeed a COWARD.

and SCARY UGLY to boot.
Oo nga.
Kaya pala si Yuga mahilig gumawa ng poll sa site nya to get information about bloggers.
Parang si Jayvee Fernandez and his Blogbank business.
Their group made blogging look like MLM scams!
If the money they make from blogging is "enough", then why the are they starting overhyped blog ad networks?
it's simple. they're not making money from their OWN blogs!
oh em jee
katakot kaya yung auction ads!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA
abe the ugly is hypocrite. he was there at the forefront when the entire nation ridiculed the near extinct Dugong, also known as malu fernandez.
To G.I.O.G.G.
If there were Palancas for exceptionally clever sidesplitting comments on this blog, you'd win hands down.
You now join Kitty Go in my altar of icons.
Keep up the good fight Brian.
You deserve justice.
ei peeps,
arent u barking at the wrong tree? yugatech reported in his blogpost what was discussed at ANC about le affaire brian. arent u shooting at the messenger and not at the message?
No!!! fight those Pathetic rich people in Manila. There are good lawyers in Manila that cannot be paid off so you can't lose.
Get the best one
I am still mad at those Filipinos who treated people like shit. They smile but they back stab you. sick and tired of losers
Why? Look at freakin country the Philippines a laughing stock of all Asia. You should have invested your money to a poor filipino at least at the end of the day you will see your profit. You don't have to squeeze their brains just to give back your money.
I wonder what are and where are their sources on this libelous claims they are saying. This is the first time I heard of this!
Blogs are supposed to be "anything and everything goes." The internet does not have rules! (Thre rules are still being made as we move on and they're all meant to be broken. God, I love chaos and anarchy!)
It's like saying "bawal p0rn sa internet." :P
Please leave the ABS-CBN Lopezes out of this issue. Celine is not a real Lopez, her mother just snatched her father from his original family. The father of Celine is not really rich. I myself is a Lopez but we are not rich.
"I myself is a Lopez" ... what the hell kind of grammar is THAT????
Come on. You didn't know that free speech didn't mean slander? I think everyone knows that. I was wondering myself how you are able to get away with this. Maybe because of international borders? I'm sure your lawyer has told you the laws covering this. And of course newspapers especially can't just print whatever they want. And I'd like to add that it's unfortunate that the intelligence level of many of your commentators have gone way down.
To anonymous who said that the comment section of this blog has ruined her relationship with her family (I think I know who it is). Your still deluded. If a comment section in a blog can do that then you didn't have much to begin with. N 'cest pas?
Dear Brian,
I agree with the other posters, it's not looking good for you in terms of getting your $70K back.
However, while I think your blog will be old news tomorrow, rest assured you've made a lasting impact in their lives more than they think. I think $70K is a small price to pay if you can afford it but if you're actually as poor as a church mouse, then there's the rub. If you don't get paid, I suggest they move out of the country for good because...
Who will trust a known homo swindler with their money and hearts from now on?
What high society mom would let their son marry someone who's just a querida's daughter slash drug addict?
Who would date a woman - fair or not - everyone else thinks looks revolting?
I love you Brian and I believe in you!!!
and hello, whoever wrote that article, yuga, i believe, can't even write straight english and doesn't know that in the 2nd sentence of the 2nd paragraph, he/she used "lawyer's" (possessive case) when he/she obviously meant "lawyers"!!!!
go brian, we are right behind you. the philippine so called "high society" needs to revisit their values (disvalues, actually). thank you for bringing this to our attention! we owe you one!
oh and brian,
pls make sure you keep a copy of all your entries saved somewhere in the event that google might try to shoot your blog down. the goal: keep this immortalized until they pay for their mistakes!!!
The Gucci gang are public personalities, and are therefore news worthy. there's no denying that did drugs, its in the photos, there are eyewitnesses. the money they stole was real. they invited the public into their private lives one they decided that to benefit frombeing 'personalities', too bad they had no clue about maintaining integrity.
I'M WITH BRIAN - KICK THEIR ASSES!
i agree.
the gucci gang are indeed public personalities.
they're media whores!
why else would they have their OWN columns in the newspaper at the same time be featured left and right in EVER glossy magazine and broadsheet? that's not all. the same people also have endorsements AND business ventures too.
they manipulate the media because they ARE the media.
they make their lives public by being constantly posing for the cameras, granting interviews about their lifestyles.
Look at celine lopez for fuck's sake. she writes about herself ALL the fucking time in her own sunday column!
if that's not making yourself public then what is???
WAKE UP!
HOW MANY MAGAZINE COVERS AND ARTICLES HAVE THESE PEOPLE APPEARED ON?
THEY ARE PUBLIC PERSONALITIES.
It's all just blowing smoke . . . they can have as many panel discussions as they want but with all the other problems the country is facing, and global recession looming, do they really want to focus on this? If so, let's just hope they do not end up using the Filipino taxpayers money, who always end up doing so, and still remain as poor as ever, year in year out . . . 25 years after I left the country, it is still third world, worse than before. how about solving poverty in the Philippines first?
ei peeps,
arent u barking at the wrong tree? yugatech reported in his blogpost what was discussed at ANC about le affaire brian. arent u shooting at the messenger and not at the message?

abe isdatchu?
barking at the wrong tree??...maybe if we're as simple as you, who can't read between the lines, then yeah we are barking at at the wrong tree, an ugly tree. but try to read beyond abe's minefield of grammatical error scribble he passes for an article and you'll quickly realize that it's a nothing more than a scaremongering maneuver! of course, not without nice incentives, cos that's how abe sustain his indulgent for greasy junk food!
Quoting a libelous sentence on the blog or re-publishing/summarizing allegations thereof.
The personalities and families of the people being exposed in the blog are desperate to end this and looks like they’re doing everything they can to stop people from talking about it and they will include bloggers too.
DESPERATE? THEN WHY NOT PAY BRAIN
70K? ~~FUCKERS...
I HATE THESE MUTHAFUCKERS, YEAH THAY MAYBE POWERFUL IN THE FREKIN ISLAND OF THE PHILIPPINES BUT THEY DON'T FUKEN OWN TGE WWW SHIT!
putangina please lang!
People, let's not be too "anal" about spelling, ok? As long as you get the meaning of what Brian is saying, then it's all good. ;-) If you want him to STOP posting stories and pics, then pay him his $70,000! Of course, I will miss Brian's blog, but it's better that justice be done. If there are any DJ and GG supporters, please convince DJ to pay up! DO THE RIGHT THING.
yugatech has been sued for libel, i think before. that's why he is scared.

"NOW YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT Y O U HAVE DONE and I REALLY HOPE YOUR HAPPY bec ALOT OF PEOPLE other than myself (i still think about the people around me other than myself) HAVE BEEN AFFECTED AND HAVE LOST A LOT BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID RAMPAGE!"
Hey anonymous, why didn't you post your name? Chicken-shit! Brian's rampage is NOT stupid, stupid! It's a legitimate beef because his life-savings was STOLEN. Get a grip and tell DJ to pay up!
I am a Filipino living in the UK. I cannot believe what the woman said in that article. When there is a hot topic involved, people just come and say the names, although they include the word "alleged" or "unverified" so that people watching or reading the paper can make up their minds for themselves.
Kung ayaw nilang tawaging coke addicts, just submit themselves to drug testing and everything will be cleared up. If they argue that they dont have to prove anything..being public figures, they have the responsibility of ensuring that they maintain a clean image for the public. :-) Go Brian! I'm also married to an aussie. And I'm biaised to Australians, they are one of the warmest, genuine people on this planet. Prayers for you! be strong!
YES,it's TRUE..troy montero f*cked WENDY PUYAT and i heard from a closefriend that her thing SMELLs!!!!!
Lawyers are making a big deal with your blog, but they aren't advising DJ to pay up for the extortion. That's how F'ed up the country is nowadays.
Don't mind yuga, he's just a nerd relaying transcriptions.
This makes me so MAD!!! This is truly a testament to how dire the situation in the Philippines is. This is so typical Filipino : People in power/ personalities are being attacked? Threaten the masses so that they shut up and so that these personalities can continue doing what they're doing. So typical...
And GEEZ! They're talking about going after anyone who posts the link on their blog? This is such hoodlum mentality! These families - the likes of the Lopezes no less - know no other way except the hoodlum way. "Scare the shit out of anyone who dares speak against us or expose us! " They're so narrow-minded, they can't even own up to their own faults and unacceptable behavior. Instead of taking accountability for their actions, they use their money and connections to bribe the press, like ANC, to scare people!
I am SO SICK of this! Whom can we turn to? The U.N.? Help! Our country is so full of pretentious hypocrites and bullies! We are being threatened into submission and they are using the "legal system" to do it. What rights do the Filipinos have? None! Really, why do we tolerate this? Publishing the link to this PUBLIC blog which is on the INTERNET is now a crime??? Good Lord! If anyone from the U.N. is reading this, you gotta help us do something. The government is corrupt, the system is skewed in favor of those in power, and there is simply no protection for the ordinary citizen.
Brian, that is the reason so many people are supporting you. We're just all really tired of being threatened into silence by those in power. Of being bullied. Contrary to what our Government claims, we are NOT a democracy. Power belongs to a handful of people, and basic freedoms are not a right, they are a privilege.
Someone, help us.
those posting comments in french, spanish, local filipino dialects, etc - can you please refrain from doing such? not all will understand and your comments are meant primarily for brian to read, and for the rest of us readers to enjoy. i have no idea why some of you are doing it... hopefully not to seem 'wordly'... how pretentious ha! Chura!
jeg kan forstaar lidt spansk og fransk men jeg kan forstaar engelsk mere....
now how interesting is that to everyone???? NOT!!!
so pppuuuhhh-leeezzzz.... let's stick to english and tagalog (sorry brian... hopefully you understand a bit of tagalog now) na lang.

1. We are racist. We call indians 'boombs'; blacks are 'egoy' and chinese are 'instik beho.'
2. Many journalists ARE MURDERED in the Philippines, if they speak against the current administration. You must research more on that.
3. MANY of our leaders have no conscience. They travel often and drive luxury cars while 90% of the population belong to the CDE social class.
One death is as good as hundreds of deaths, so yes ... The Philippines = Nazi Germany.
DJ IBALIK MO YUNG PERANG NINAKAW MO!!!!
Keep the faith, Brian ...

Their Lolo Fernando Lopez must be turning, no, SPINNING in his grave!
hahaha fuckin love it.
Fighting for our life savings on a daily basis is what we do.
Thank you Brian.
Stupid morons! These people in position are always abusing their powers and threatening the Filipino people. But most Filipinos are cowards anyway. No one dares to be different. No one dares to speak up. This is really what I hated back in the Philippines. I HATED THE OPPRESSION THERE. THERE IS NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN THE PHILIPPINES. And a lot of people can't event think for themselves.
Brian show them there is hell in heaven.

hello brian,
in case you are interested, here's one great read ... the blogger has interesting posts about you and your blog ... you'll have to scroll down a bit to find his comment about the so-called ANC-debate as you have published in your last post. you see, the intellectuals back in Manila do have a say on your plight.

It's all crap. It's another shit fight by all these so called wealthy people in the Philippines. Question: Where did they get their money? Is this a pre-emptive strike on the blog just in case bloggers starts asking where they get their monies considering that they could even pay up the Consulate to go to Brian's house paid for by blood sweat and tears of Filipinos? Connect the dots with the scare these lawyers are sending. Connect the dot with ANC. What is ANC trying to get from here? Hmnnn... looks like it's an easy answer! Could it be traffic???
your problem is that your still in love with the guy and hoping against hope that you could have him back cuz you know damn well inside you that there is no way you will ever get back your $70,000. you were willing to risk the monies from the start by investing in a business and you know there is no sure fire success guarantee so what if the restaurant closed down, would you still be after him for the monies? Stop fooling yourself Brian, just go to a corner, lick your wounds and move on, your just killing yourself slowly and softly
