I will never forget it.
Someone was at the door.
It must be DJ I thought. I sprinted towards it.
I answered it in my underwear. No shirt. Just standing there in my jocks.
I had spent the last three hours on the bed, staring at CNN.
I was in shock. I was cold.
The air con in the hotel was on high. DJ liked it that way. Cold blooded creature that he is.
I was covered in goose bumps. My tears would not stop. I was dying inside.
I had just been through the worst four hours of my life.
I thought it was DJ on the other side of the door.
He must have come to his senses I though.
I just wanted to pain to go away.
But it was not DJ. It was the scariest bunch of police I had ever seen. Some under covers. A Sargeant was there.
I was scared to death. They sealed my hotel door and took me away. Dragged me through the lobby. Past tourists and locals.
People were staring. I was crying. Screaming that DJ stole my money.
I could see Celine and Jackie sitting there trying to avoid eye contact with me. They were looking away at DJ. Poor DJ.
Fucking crook.
After our argument earlier that afternoon, I knew in my heart our relationship was over.
I just could not cope with the lies anymore. I knew there were no bank accounts.
I knew my money was gone. I could see it in his eye's. I felt it. I smelt the deception everywhere.
I really was scared to death.
I had flashes of my mum nagging me to be careful.
'Do you really know him son' she would say to me.
'Trust me mum' I would reply. Trust me.
Cocaine was not a part of my life. I knew DJ was hooked on it though after a while.
He was just not normal. Not consistant. Erratic. And now his behaviour was about to ruin my life.
I saw him so many times. High as a kite. He though I didn't know.
Celine too. All of them. They would go to the toilet and snort their drugs.
I was not so dumb.
They just could not function without drugs.
Celine could not function without cocaine when I was with her. She still can't.
I know she bought drugs this past weekend because i know where she buys her cocaine from.
I know more then Celine and DJ think.
I have been recieving e mails from 'other' members of the GG.
People promising me that they have nothing to do with DJ anymore.
They are afraid of being on this blog.
I don't blame them.
DJ and Celine keep this drug dealer in business.
People want me to post his name. I know who he is.
He lives and works at Embassy.
He is the biggest drug dealer in Manila.
He sells to Imelda's grand son.
I would hear them planning and organising for hours.
They had to have cocaine in order to go out. But first they had to organize the pesos.
They always made people pay for the lines they snorted.
They are so cheap with the drugs. They have no money.
Marcel got so tired of paying for Celines drugs.
He begged her to go to re hab.
But she would only go with DJ.
And he will NEVER go to re hab.
Can't afford it.
They won't take Celine in re hab until she gets her eating disorder under control.
Marcel tried to admit her to re hab last December.
Once, at an arts awards show, Celine was asked to hand out a prize.
But she arrived smashed.
Slurring her words.
Marcel was so embarrassed for her. We all were.
She could hardly walk to the podium.
When she got there, she mumbles some words.
FORGOT THE WINNERS NAME and basically made a complete fool of herself. Almost fell over in front of everyone.
I was so ashamed for her.
But none of her friends said anything to her. No one cared that she was completley fucked off her mind.
Everyone sits by and watches Celine and DJ and the rest consume so much drugs, they have lost touch with the real world.
No one really cares about them.
And why shoud they.
That night, they were all around Celine.
Like flies on shit.
Buzz buzz.
Marcel was there. Jackie and the whole gang.
Ana A. looked hot in her dress. Not bad for a lesbian.
Wendy looked bloated. She always does I reckon.
DJ was coked off his face. He always is. I lost count how many times they all went to the bathroom.
We were eating at DJ's Tita's new restaurant.
I wonder how she would feel if she knew DJ and his gang bring their drugs and snort them in her restaurant.
DJ was swanning around all night like a prince telling everyone he was the evenings host.
No you were not you loser. You are dilusional like Celine and Chut and Tina Tinio and everyone else who was there that night.
Just drugged out uglies.
Smashed on Veuve and cocaine.
The hilarious thing is the bathroom door at Chut's condo kept closing and locking, leaving the cocaine on the other side. The revellers were going crazy.
Because someone kept sneaking lines and forgetting to leave to door open.
Tina?
They had to call a lock smith THREE times to get access to the cocaine.
It was CRAZY.
Another world away from reality.
So much money.
So many drugs.
I think Celine and DJ bought nine baggies of coke that night.
And they finished them all. I fell asleep.
Its all so fucking boring.
Tina was there with her ex boyfriend. Snorting her face off.
This girl has a hoover nose.
And Tim. Tim was smashed.
Snorted for hours.
Tim asked me for sex that night. I almost died.
He begged me at the evevator to suck him off.
He did not care that I had a boyfriend.
he just wanted head.
He told me he wanted a white guy.
WTF.
Tim you are hideous.
And your cock is tiny. Teeny Weenie Tim. TWT.
Anyway's, back to the story.
But the real nightmare was just abut to start for me at the hotel room door.
Standing there in my underwear. The darkness begins.
DJ and I got into a terrible fight in our hotel room earlier in the day.
We struggled we ended up on the floor.
Screaming at me. Like a mad man.
I saw us laying on the floor.
I was in shock.
He would not get up. He liked it down there. On the four. On all fours.
He loves playing the victim.
When he is actually the one who started the entire physical aspect of our fight.
After the fight, he tricked me. We had sex. But he got everything in the end. He convinced me to go to the gym for a work out after we finished in bed.
I did.
After I left, he ran away.
He took everything.
My phone, my money, my plane ticket, my ipod. Everything.
I called Celine. I rang Jackie. I called others. Hysterical. Hurt. And deeply afraid.
No one helped me. No one cared about Brian.
Why did you hurt me so much DJ?
How could you plan such a devious act against the man who gave you EVERYTHING you wanted?
How many personalities do you have?
The police dragged me away to the Makati station.
DJ told them I assaulted him
DJ would not even look at me.
He would not look up.
This is your payback for that night DJ.
Enjoy it. Because it will never end for you.
Until you pay me back.
Remember DJ, when you had the police check my room?
For what? You already stole everything you filthy little thief.
I though you planted drugs.
You idiot. You should have put some coke in my bag. That would have fucked me up.
But your too cheap to waste a line on anything else apart for your piggy like nostrils.
How did it feel DJ, when you saw my face? The fear in my eye's?
You bastard DJ.
I was crying. I was begging. Screaming. Ripped to shreads inside. Desperate and alone.
But you have no feelings. No soul. No texture or depth. No heart strings.
You let them take me away.
You are evil.
I gave you everything you wanted.
Never denied you.
Your cashed up foot soldier.
Thats what I was.
You told them I beat you up. That is a lie.
Thats all you have DJ. Is this lie that you continue to perpetuate.
Telling people YOU were abused.
That I abused YOU.
HA!
Fuck off DJ.
And anyone else who believes for one second that I abused the talented Mr. Montano
Now, I really wish I had though.
I would do anything to smack your pudgy round little pumpkin head.
Anything.
You spent that entire night trying to have me deported.
You must have been really beat up eh DJ?
You seemed perfectly fine to me you little fraud.
Spent the rest of the night lying to your friends Celine, Jackie and Marcel. Lying to everyone in your life.
Not to mention the phone calls you made to Boracay trying to destroy my life there for me.
I will never forgive your friends for the destruction that I had to clean up.
You seemed fine when you were inhaling your Macdonalds that night Montano. Laughing on the phone.
Playing the victim role.
Where did I injure you DJ?
YOU LUNGED AT ME YOU LITTLE LIAR.
You told people I punched you.
You made it all up.
You liar. Fucking liar. I have NEVER hit another human being you tragic little bullshitter.
You should have kept my original reservation at the Peninsula. The rooms are bigger. You would not have fallen over.
But you cancelled that reservation didn't you DJ. Because you owed them so much money and used my GOOD name there to book your room. You ruined my reputation at the Peninsula because I would NOT pay your 300,000 peso bill.
You changed the reservation. You didn't tell me. Did you impersonate me DJ.
We know you have before.
Your a crazy little bastard DJ.
BECAUSE YOU KNEW THIS FIGHT WOULD OCCUR. Right. You planned it!
Your 'other' boyfriend wanted me out.
Your Singaporian boyfriend.
And you did not want it to happen at the hotel that gives you all the freebies. The Peninsula.
I LOVED that hotel.
Big money for me to stay there. But its worth it. They were VERY good to me.
I stayed at the Peninsula with my mum in January.
I was determined to leave that hotel on the best terms.
Mummy loved it there because she had seen the tank go through the front on Television in Australia. We just stood there and stared and imagined all the commotion. The drama.
She thought it was neat to be there.
So did I.
I love the Peninsulas. Friendliest staff ever.
If you can only afford a couplw of nights in a hotel. Stay there.
However,
The Peninsula should be ashamed to house you in their hotel.
Does the hotel know what you guys do there?
Having drugs sessions in your 'free' rooms.
Your little sex orgies DJ?
I know all about your prostitute parties.
At the Peninsula.
Drugs and sex in their rooms.
Drug dealers delivering to the hotel room door.
You need to be busted one day with your cocaine.
I spent so many hours with the police that night.
My Australian Embassy became involved. My lawyers were called.
My heart was on the floor.
Of course I was never charged. They refused to be used by DJ.
The police knew I was telling the truth. I had no reason to lie.
I was only ever questioned.
NEVER arrested. Never charged.
You failed DJ.
DJ eventually fled from the station.
The police wanted to question him over the theft from my hotel.
I demamded they check his car.
That is the last time I ever saw DJ.
He was fleeing.
Fleeing from the truth.
Fleeing from the pain.
Fleeing from his distruction.
Now look what this had started DJ.
You can't run from me now.
I told you the night you had me questioned, that you would never get away with your devious plan.
I was right.
"False friends are like our shadow, keeping
close to us while we walk in the
sunshine, but leaving us the
instant we cross into the shade."
KEEP UP THE FIGHT BRIAN!!!!!!!!!!
WE'RE HERE FOR YOU!
You are the one with real talent Brian, with your writing...it's incredible!...keep on posting, we're all here for you...
So they just showed up at the hotel door to take him to the station? Shouldn't they have a warrant to do that? What proof did DJ show the police that he was assaulted?
brian,
i'm praying for you.. i hope you get the justice you deserve.
-ks
I have been reading your blog since it hit the fans here in the Phils. I guess I just want to apologize for what has happened to you here in our country..to think that you wanted to move in here with us.
God bless you Brian. I hope DJ and the others get what they deserve.. I wish with all my heart that you get not revenge, but justice for what OUR people (though the likes of the Gucci Gang treats the rest of us Filipinos LOWLY), did to you.
I am ashamed that this awful thing has happened to you while you were in our country..while the rest of us are fuming over the disrespect and injustice our OFW's receive from other nationalities..
It's so sad.
You're in my prayers Brian... Be strong.
Brian,
Listen to this song.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=GMlAvIV2-_A
It will break the pieces of your heart further. But afterwards it will feel like you're healing. I wish you hope and peace always.
These guys are f*cked up drug addicts, somebody send them to REHAB now before they victimize anybody else.
Drug Addicts will do ANYTHING for their next fix. THEY DON"T CARE.
So send them to REHAB now.
For some people, one line of cocaine and that's it, they're DRUG ADDICTS!
You are very right Brain - keep it up!!!
Nothing like standing solid next to the TRUTH!!!
Is this Jackie married to one of the Antonios? I want to hear more! I've been really suspicious of this family's wealth!! Where did it all come from?! Stop hiding behind your supposedly successful parents.
Oh my goshhhhh... I am so sorry with what happened to you. Please be strong. At least there is progress- he is losing his clout. I hope this gets him to pay up. Be strong and hang in there.
GO BRIAN!!! KEEP IT UP!! SHOW EM WHO'S THE LIAR AND WHO'S NOT!! MORE WESTERN UNION PICS PLS!! =)
I can feel your pain through your words. You are really heartbroken. But strong too! I WISH YOU LOVE. =)
Oh Brian, my heart bleeds for you.
As for those businesses that DJ and the Gucci Gang are connected to:
PLEASE look out for yourselves and don't let yourselves be contaminated by the criminal behavior of these people! Do the right thing like "a heavy print advertiser" in the other comments page promised to do.
REFUSE to patronize these characters, REFUSE to be used by them!
PULL OUT your media, revoke your endorsement contracts, and
TEACH THEM A LESSON!
THIS SHOULD BE PART OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY NOW.
Wow....
Everything you wrote here is just so vivid!
We love you Brian. I feel for you.
OH MY GOSH!
Horrible!
Now I know why you will never give up on this case.
I hope you get what you deserve and DJ will rot in hell.
please write a book. I wish I had. When they were called the Gucci Crew...
I had no idea the incidents leading to your fleeing the Philippines were so extreme and frightening. I don't blame you for your vitriol. I hope this is all resolved in your favor, Brian. Fight the good fight, and here's hoping you can visit the islands again on a better, brighter day, after The Talented Mr. Montano returns your money.
heart wrenching... what a horrible experience to be caused by the person whom you loved.
do you have a picture of them in action? maybe that would really make them see that you are serious about this, that it is not going to end?
i must admit, it has been a long battle for you and i wish you all the best to get what you want... but what i want? i want them to go down.. people like tina should not be worshipped in the beauty industry.. the company will suffer and so does the brand.
in the end, all these socialites might as well lose their careers and reputations, because frankly, we all know that you are a good, honest person, and these GG are all just a bunch of lying wannabes.
I really hope you get your money back or in the alternative, that all the people who took advantage of you will feel what its like to be humiliated... The way you were humiliated that last night at your hotel.... I feel for you Brian. Nobody deserves what DJ did to you.
You write compellingly Brian. Your experience with the grifter, DJ, could fill up an entire book. Have you ever thought of writing a book? All you need is a good editor and a good agent. It would be cathartic for you and at the same time, recoup your losses. "Revenge is a dish best served cold."
Give him back his money and end this for this poor guy. How much can one person take. Do the good thing. Give him his money back.
I AM CAPTIVATED by the Gucci Gang brouhaha. It has all the elements of high drama: society icons, sex, drugs, schemes, defrauded money, jilted HIV-positive Australian lover, death threats -- all in one sentence. When the dust clears, if it will ever, I can see this 8R scenario:
> Ruptured reputations - It will require massive damage control and staggering legal defense to prevent the colossal collapse of those who are directly and remotely involved in the scandal. After treating them as high and mighty, many of their audiences will now treat them as damaged goods -- thoroughly flawed, unworthy of adulation. From being flattered, egos are now flattened.
> Reduced sales - Patrons will shy away from products to which those implicated are attached. If the blogger's support base will muster the critical mass, some companies will have a think coming. Remember that these socialites also endorse products that the masa patronize (clothes, food, etc.). Already, the blogger's supporters are advocating ad pullouts and other forms of boycott.
> Ruined careers - As pressure mounts, companies will have to resort to decruitment - dropping these celebrities as image models, product ambassadors, etc.
> Renegade repercussion - The blog's comments section contains statements such as: "pag nakita kita sasapakin kita" and other such threatening declarations. Owing to their high-profile visibility, it is easy to recognize those involved in the scandal. It will become a challenge for them to roam around Metro Manila as freely as they used to. They will be encumbered with worries of potential physical harm whenever they are in public. Of course, they can perhaps protect themselves with cordon sanitaires or hibernate in the comforts of their homes in the Philippines and abroad until Filipinos forget about the scandal. If at all.
> Rethinking of lifestyles - Yes, the blog entries and the comments section are not short on viciousness. It, however, offers an opportunity for the Philippines' elite to examine their lifestyles. With increasing scrutiny, a lot of socialites will be compelled to reflect on the lives they lead.
> Recasting of Filipino-Foreigner gay relationships - Filipino gays (puera delos todos) optimize internet technology (email, chatting, etc.) as moneymaking channels. The modus operandi is to hook up with a foreign chatmate, ignite a relationship, enamor the foreign partner and start asking for money transfers. With the blog's tell all, actual and potential foreign 'benefactors' will reconsider their money-related actions thereby strangling a booming cottage industry.
> Regrouping among socialties - Alliances among the socialties will shift. It is inevitable that some of its members will be cast out. Until those implicated come up with convincing explanations (which is taking them too long to produce), many of them will end up as social pariahs. Some of them may even initiate their own inaccessibility to avoid being grilled by their peers. The stench is simply too strong for their fellow socialites to ignore -- it's either they let the stigma rub on them by association or they position themselves as having moral ascendancy by maintaining distance.
> Review of literature - The furor it is sparking is difficult to ignore. For years to come, analysts will dissect the merits and demerits of using consumer-generated technology, in particular this blog, in mobilizing the potency of the internet as a channel of demanding remedy for abuses, and, in the process, generating support.
I believe in karma...
They are a bunch of sad people, they may be roch but they are empty inside, like mummies they are calcified dead people.
You them dead people, dear brian!
and am happy you are now back to the land of the living!
I will always pray for you!
Love!
OMG!!
The grandson of the former first lady is also a druggie?
no wonder he is always involved in a brawl right there at the EMBASSY BAR.
SHOCKING! APPALLING! SCANDALOUS! Truth can be stranger than fiction indeed...tsk tsk
This is no way to treat a lover or a friend or a guest in your country! Brian, I apologize for the ordeal you had to go through in the hands of the execrable DJ and the Gucci Gang. I can assure you that this whole thing does not define the Filipinos and that we condemn this kind of lifestyle and injustice they did.
Be strong Brian. We are praying for you and behind you all the way!
"Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest."-- Benjamin Franklin
DJ and his cohorts will burn in hell for their misdeeds...
We're praying for you, Brian, and your health, and your loved ones. Stay true and beautiful... catalina
-hugz-
OH MY GOD!
following the story - from cambodia...
this blog's a sensation..hope you just be easy with celine..she may have feet of clay, but i think she's a good person..
While I agree that it was wicked of DJ and the gucci gang to do such an inhuman act on someone as sweet as you Brian, I also believe that such a defining moment in your life will lead you to become a better person. I do wish that the money will be paid back, but i also hope that even if the amount will not be paid, justice will be served and you will have ur life back. I pray for you brian
The details of your story, how they party, etc. are real good stuff for a book/mini-series, keep 'em coming, I hope you have a smashing bestseller! Do keep some surprises for your book though. Don't give up your fight Brian.
Now I fully understand where the anger and hurt is coming from, and I am so sorry that this happened to you. Be strong.
I wasn't surprised really that the former First Lady's grandson is on drugs. His altercation with various people in various locales paint him as such, full stop. I wouldn't be surprised either if he was a member of the Gucci Gang.
- Cocoy
the grandson of the former first lady does NOT do cocaine. maybe the people around him, but not him.
i believe what happened to you brian. dj does owe you all that money and for breaking your heart. i feel for you. be strong.
Makati Girl,
First of all, I sympathize with Brian. DJ, and the rest of GG, are just disgusting. But be informed that you don't need a warrant for a police to show up and accost a suspect if the act was reported as on-going. If there is a complaint, the police will react. If there is no case, they will let you go. That is the procedure. The thing though is that Brian forgot about the rights he has even though he is a foreigner. A police officer can invite you for questioning but if you resist you can do so. But resisting will only aggravate the situation because it will be a sign of imminent guilt. The police are taught to presume innocence but they are also trained to doubt alibis. I don't blame Brian though. Its easy to lose your wits in a situation. But lets not demonize the whole police force for doing this job. Its the same thing in any parts of the world that has a democracy in place. Lets not damn our country because of a few who gives it a bad name. Doing so will only alienate a lot of people and this will not help Brian's cause. Lets keep our eyes on the ball.
Sincerely,
Richard

I feel like roasting DJ, Celine, et al, Andok's style!! Shit, I see daggers before me!! No mea culpas for this palpable hatred I harbor for DJ and his ilk. But, mea culpa for the horrors you're going through because of this soulless Pinoy and his evil cabal...
This is just so heartbreaking...
I know how all this could impact on your current health status, and I pray that you are well and healthy...
Love and peace your way--- catalina
Ang cheap talaga ng Gucci Gang! No class at all.
there's an ad for amazon.com in your website.
Brian, I urge you, please try and make money off of this crap. Enough with this pride thing. HIV cocktails are not cheap. If the Paypal thing is offensive, then fine, I like the ad idea.
Good luck man.mygeneva
the grandson of the former first lady is far from being part of the gucci gang. they all know each other but he hangs out with a completely different set of people. yes, he's been involved in all those fights. but not because he was high on coke. he doesnt do cocain.
unlike those names mentioned by brian. yes, dj and all all of them love love love to sniff snort gum and snort some more.
brain, u mentioned that you have sex with DJ. You also said that you are HIV+.. right?.. so that means DJ is affected too?.. just asking?...
dear brian,
i'm hoping that you heal from all the wounds that they have inflicted on you. i'm from michigan, and i'm following your story.
Good on you Brian! Looking forward to tomorrow's post! Those fucking druggies in Manila!!! GOOD FOR NOTHINGS!
Yo Brian!
I am a follower of the series 24 and prison break... just like your blog, you just can't wait until the next episode!
Maybe one of these days you can sell your story to hollywood and even make more than you are asking for.
May you get the justice you deserve and more power to you!
boy bastos
Prayers are very powerful. You have prayer warriors here Brian. Keep the faith.
DJ Montano will pay dearly for his crimes. Its just a matter of time.
We love how you write.
it's so funny, on the amazon ad on the home page, the first cd that's advertised is dj montano volume 2 :-) good one brian! we love you!
Too much revelations..boohoo..give the money back to brian, DJ. Or nothing of these will stop. We've already had enough of these humiliations.
You and the rest of your posse of social climbers have already disgraced the entire nation, I think that's enough proof that you are a bunch of unworthy individuals.
Feel the powers of KARMA. Feel your empty, coke-infested bodies sucking the vigor of KARMA.
Brian, I hope you'll find your peace SOON. I love my country too much, brian. I hope you'll soon see the beauty and maybe come back and visit again -- minus DJ and the rest of their gang. God Bless!
A Plea to everyone reading this blog.
Please send pictures to Brian of the Gucci Gang so he can publish them here. (If you'll let him). I am sure he will keep the source of the pictures anonymous.
Feeling ko wala na siyang ma-post na pics. :)
You've ruined them already Brian! Keep your head high. Most Filipinos are on your side. Celine on coke, I've heard that years ago, and she's really fucked up when she's high.
I just can’t stop visiting your site! I have discussed this blog with my Manila friends and they all agree to everything you’ve said. With Manila being such a small small world, I just mention one name from your list, and they would have their own stories to tell. Almost everyone can attest to what you have written here. The Gucci gang had already been known to be blood-sucking thieves, liars & users! How disgusting! They’re an embarrassment to the Philippine society!
Keep it up Brian! Be strong!
oh brian, that was sooo sad... but at least the police believed you were telling the truth & that DJ was NOT... imagine, the complainant fleeing the police station! now that's the first time i heard of that happening... funny!
just hang in there brian, i truly believe that in the end people do get what they deserve... just you wait DJ!!! this is just the beginning... so if i were you, DJ, i would pay brian now!
DJ, what you did was wrong... it doesn't matter if you committed it here in the Phil (where you think your being 'elitista' would acquit you from a crime).. it's wrong & its never gonna be right!
- W.
it was heartfelt. i hope brian you get your money back.
god bless you
It's so funny how these guys refuse to be seen at Andok's because it's not sosy but it's perfectly fine for them to be appear in public higher than kite from all the drugs they took and embarrass themselves.
Hay! Que lastima!
the drug problem in manila cuts across classes, gender, ages, and races. its so easy to buy a pill, a baggie of hash. i got a approached by a ranking french expat (he is now based in cebu) here once and asked if i can hook him up with high grade coke - of course i dun do anything of that shit. but the problem is real- its not just GG. we had a party in alabang 2 weeks ago and people were smoking weed (fine some people doesnt consider it drug but it is prohibited in the philippines nonetheless). come on, this is an open secret! small events, big events, every one sneaks to the toilet to snort a line. we used to even smuggle pills, and bumpers to embassy, nuvo, bigfish events.
i really dont think you will get your money back B. and unless you do something really concrete, the issue will die a natural death and people will have moved on to the next scandal. this is fastfood nation, morphine generation. next please. my people has a very short attention span.we are an entire country of it. Estradas are back. Marcoses are back. people forget.
a blog will never get back your stolen money. sorry. but the richer you are in this country, the more shameless you are - people steal millions and millions of pesos and all they get are bad publicity. no indictions, and even if there is, it is a bloody protracted fight.
i feel sorry for what you have suffered. you are not alone. about 2% of Filipino families control the wealth of the entire country- the same people who have stolen right under our very own noses. billions of pesos Brian. Where are they now? They are back in scene. Imelda is back and spawned a dozen replicates. If this was Bucharest, the people would have dragged the Marcoses in EDSA, shot and then hanged.
but people will forget. 70K USD is just a drop in a bucket. it is just the price of a car. i know it may not be much and you are going out on a leg here for your principles but yeah. dont count on it. dj will not pay. never. it is sad, makes you angry, but he will never.
go on Philippine national tv. international even. heck go to every media outlets that will air your story. file embezzlement charges in Australian courts. use your connections. think DJ is hiding in Singapore? contact Singapore press. shame him in every hotel and restaurant in Singapore. shame in Australia. shame him in the US and Canada. shame him even in his school he attended. report his name to the interpol. shame him on the internet. post your links all over at every forum. shame him all over the world. get mad, get even, get everything.
but whatever you do. just dont blog. dont hold back. destroy.

Hi brian! I believe on you 101%! But I suggest you post more photos of them, the GG in action! That would be more evident and will truly support your sentiments.
You're in my prayers Brian. ANd I hope that you don't hate filipinos. Because the GG members are not filipinos, they're monsters!!!! and pls dont think that all filipinos are like them.coz we are not.
Get well soon and I'll support you all the way!!
Only a drugtest could prove if Imelda's grandson is a coke-lover, same with all the Gucci Gang. Although I believe they all are.
TIM YAP: fagly. he's a complete waste of spermatozoa and egg cell.
on behalf of other faceless filipinos, we apologize brian for the despicable deeds of the gucci gang.
members of the gucci gang are accidental pinoys. fact is they're a bunch of protozoans.
we support you brian!
Am so ashamed that you had to experience "that" here in our beloved country, i feel so bad not just for you but for what these gucci-fucking-gang represents...but its easter week, i hope and pray that everybody here, involved or otherwise, may find in themselves to reflect on what is really important in life...inner peace and true happiness! I pray for yours B...and also for these kids' redemption.

Brian,
We've read your story unfold and our thoughts are with you, so you may recover your money and you will have the best of health given your condition.
However, as Filipinos, we know that bringing this to Philippine courts won't do good for your cause. And since the money were sent from Australia to the Philippines, it might be that a case could be opened and heard in Australia. But I fear that DJ Montano won't go there, unless the Philippine government extradites him. But this is a long shot.
That being said, we fear, as most bloggers have expressed, that DJ Montano won't pay up at all. Knowing the psyche of people whose dirt had been laundered in this blogosphere for everybody to read and know, he'd take up the extreme nonchalance and ignore your plea. What else has DJ Montano got to lose? Nothing. So ergo, I don't see him paying up.
However, if his ilk still has an ounce of decency shame left in them - that is if they are still in good communication, might prod him to raise the funds and pay you. But we still doubt this.
So our concern is, what happens to you when all the information you know have ran out? What will you do then? We hate seeing you at the losing end, as if you have not yet lost everything. We want you to succeed, Brian, because we believe in you.
So we suggest that you take up other means of information dissemination. The idea of a book is good. With the right publisher, you could convey your story and plight to millions more who have not read you here, and hopefully put the DJ Montanos of this Earth into shame so the likes of them would not keep on roaming this Earth spilling their filth, scum and scam.
At least you've granted interviews to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, so your truth and you being an actual person is already corroborated. Nobody now could say that you are somebody's dummy who was put up to popularize this certain bar, product or service or that your allegations are just a result of some 15-year old boy's whimpering due to a spat with his lover.
So you go on, Brian. Think of more stages to tell your story. Never stop. Never lose interest. Do not give up.
- Kapitan Gregorio
Brian, DJ's being a crook runs in the blood. Grandfather, father and maybe his siblings.. who know? his family name is a disgrace to our hometown in Cavite City.
i am addicted to your blog, keep them coming. tell the world about how disgusting these people really are!!
poster@1:03pm
Actually,
Brian's blog has some results to the GG although this has yet to be confirmed(aside from the fact that the reputations who the peeps in GG are screwed)
1.The Embassy is considering removing Tim Yap as one of their partners.
2.Product endorsements of Celine were removed due to this.
3. Advertisements in the Philippine Star have 1 and a half pages less EVERYDAY.
Anyone else who wants to add?
was holding my breath reading the entire post and imagining what's it like to be you, brian.
may you be blessed at the end of this ordeal.
now... who wants to have sex with tim yap? raise your hand, i mean your eyebrows.
ew...
oh tim, celine, dj, tina and the whole GG ... have you a single cell of morality, shame and conscience in your system?
i guess not.
we would so love to kick your asses for brian. but then again, we would all end up at the makati police station, huh?
you have all the connections. but you all dont have a soul.
fuckers.
Fuck all the social climbers, the elitists, the corrupt politicians, the wanna-be socialites who steal and flaunt their wealth in the faces of the common Pinoy struggling to put food on the table on a daily basis. These people should be held accountable for their actions, stripped of their ill-gotten wealth and paraded in the streets with no more than their pants and a pair of tsinelas. The common Pinoy needs to rise up and stop feeding the egos and wallets of these people and make those who have stolen and flaunted their money pay for what they have done. They should be made examples of, find them, punish them by hanging or shoot them in front of their million dollar homes. Burn their expensive cars and their brand-name clothing. Abuse them the way they have abused the commoners. My they rot in hell. Rise up Pinoys and finally eliminate the greed and the evil that the Philippines is!
Tangina mo brian! D ako magbabayad!
DJ
brian, i hope you get your money back a thousand fold. write the book as was reported by the inquirer, you'll be next year's barnes and noble's new talent. good luck.
to the GG, mga hinayupak na durugistang walang pera, mahiya kayo sa mga fez nyo, afam pa ang biniktima n'yo, mga loko, ayan, may katapat na kayo!
lots of people are glued to your revelations brian. don't let up. don't give them breathing space. these scums should be jailed.
the filipinos in oman are with you. team brian all the way!
whoah!!!! what a day to start....i am ur big fan Brian !!!...
Go for it! Get ur money back!!!
Go Brian....ur a fighter!!!
Never doubt a mother's intuition.
my heart goes out to you and your mother.
be strong.
and
keep bringing it on!
these bitches need to pay.
wow, this is the best entry yet. what a way to kick-off the holy week.
the blog is mightier than the snort! good luck to your virtual/legal battles ahead, mr. gorrell.
on a lighter note, you have just replaced jun lozada as manila's hottest whistleblower.
that pinoypress interview article did a good job of putting this whole thing in a nutshell. for those still with questions you owe it to yourself to read that article.
You're absolutely sensational.
You're so brave and amazing as a person.
I'm in love with you
i just read the pinoypress.net. there's a good point in brian's interview, can the B.I.R. at least tax DJ and his sister for these wire transfers? can someone look into this?
i really can't blame you for being too trusting. being like that as well, i truly empathize with you. i don't have anything much to say here except drop the line my good friend used to tell me when i had been down in the dumps:
have faith in better days.
there's a rainbow after the rain, as the OPM song quipped. i hope you reach yours soon and i hope you get the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow too. take care brian.
Hay naku. that Millet Manananggal should have them all fired then fire herself after.
How annoying was Tim Yap's reply to all this on his Supreme column.
Yuk. They are delusional and kadiri.
to MAKATI GIRL: they only need a warranty if the 24hour period is over. But within the 24 hours they can arrest anyone without it. It is called 'follow-up operation'. Brian dear, be brave and i believe in you. Mr. Manotoc on the other hand is known to be hanging too much at EMBASSY, that bar should be closed because of drugs.
The public knew about these drug thing in Embassy they all do, even the POLICE. But they were all scared to hit the big fish, the HIGH SOCIETY.
- myke
Dear Brian,
I would like to apologize in behalf of what my country have caused you. It's only because you were hanging out with the wrong crowd. Please bear in mind that it was only an experience from a certain group of people and not all filipinos specially in the high society are like that... specially not. The people you were hanging around with are people whom the REAL high society laugh at in my country. My apologies.
I am also a pen club frequent peninsula loyal client... I don't think anyone will take the gucci gang seriously in that hotel since we don't really mind them. We have money to pay for our hobbies and quirks... never seen them there neither. Simply because most of them didn't actually grow up in Makati. They're not really Makati boys and girls... acting to be brats but just acting. There is a big difference of a Makati born and raised character and it only takes one to know one. THEY'RE NOT AT ALL VERY MAKATI. OR, THEY'RE NOT "MAKATI" AT ALL.....That gang is simply "trying hards" in the real society in the Philippines.
MY APOLOGIES BRIAN for meeting a bad crowd in the Philippines.
All the best BRIAN... spill more beans and we have all your support.
Don't mind the people who deny to be in that group as they don't want to be part of the blog... just do it... YOU ARE TEACHING THEM AN INCREDIBLE LESSON! Don't mind what they beg to clear them from this mess.... they were part of that group.... you have all the "aces" now to screw them up.... SO SCREW THEM ALL UP WITH NO HESITATIONS!!!
DON'T GET BOTHERED BY NOT ASSOCIATING THEMSELVES NOW WITH DJ AND CELINE....... THAT'S NOT TRUE!
SPILL MORE OF THE BEANS!!!
With all our support!!!
aawww...i almost cried on this one. i feel sooo sorry for you and very much angry for the people who abused you. just remember, God sees the truth but waits. He will never leave you nor let those people get away with their crime. karma will pay them BIG time!!! we would always be here to support you. be strong.
thanks JJ...pinoypress.net!!!!!
I just read your interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer. (I didn't get the Garbo analogy - I don't think it worked in this context. But whatevs. Media coverage is a good thing, Brian. So keep it up!) One cool thing I learned about you is that you're into photography. May I suggest flickr.com? "Flickr is almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world." In other words, this is the perfect place to CONNECT with not only your friends and family but with your NEW friends and NEW family. I know a lot of your readers are amazing photographers who share their work here. :D
And one more thing, please take care of yourself. Your health is the most important thing - so keep exercising and eating healthy and doing yoga (if you don't do it already). See what you get for not listening to your mother? There are now thousands of us who will stand beside your mom help rebuild your life. Big picture, Brian, big picture. You need to commit to this long-term. That's how you're going to get your money back.
And BTW: DJ Montano is the new Judas.
Brian, that was a masterpiece, I mean that in a good way. You can actually write. Go write your novel but keep things interesting like you did with this one.
I guess we always suspected what went on behind those doors, the gang was quite proud to wear their cool, glamour club life on their sleeves, they made it so "in" something people should aspire for, at the end of the day its all just an ugly lie, the drugs bring them up then down to a cesspool. I really hope this opens the eyes of those who romanticize that whole lifestyle. First its the cool club with the E and K, then they graduate to the C and some even to Shabs, but its either you get out or it eventually eats you alive. If you ask me they should close down those clubs and stop the big rave parties. I wouldn't want my kids to grow up wanting to be part of it.
my god im in love with brian!!!!...im blushing!!!! hi hi hi hi...
justice will be yours brian, one way or the other.
from the pinoypress interview:
--------------------------------
When and how did you meet CK? You sounded like you were swept away by this man.
I WAS swept away.
It’s still hard for me to talk about this because I don’t want to think of CK in a positive light. It does not help me when I recollect the wonderful times we had at the beginning of our relationship.
I was not looking for a supermodel boyfriend. I was not looking period. It just happened. He pushed the right buttons.
CK is very dashing. Don’t be fooled. He sucks you in very quickly. If you are not looking out for it, it gets you. Some people are very sneaky.
Looking back, I don’t know what I was thinking. Truth is, I am embarrassed.
--------------------------------
to all those who're in love and been in love.... i know we can all relate to what happened to brian.
Embassy is full of junkies and it's no secret. Dunno what the cops are doing or the mayor, it's all happening right under there nose. Protection Money? Connections? Maybe...
Just cancelled an ad in PhilStar just now. Moved it to Inquirer and Bulletin. Just because I could and I don't want to support a paper that supports people that could influence the younger generation a druggie lifestyle.
To the Star: clean up your lifestyle pages and we'll put our ads back in.
My prayers are with you Brian. They shouldnt be spared from this. Thank you very much for letting it out. I can just hope that justice prevails. These rich-err... pretending to be rich guys are so crooked! morals are nil and had the guts to flaunt their faces. You should be ashamed of yourselves guys!
I really pray you'll be out of this situation sooner. You deserve to live your normal life. ASAP.
Youre the bomb brian! ur good.i think im inLOVE with already. =) will you marry me?
my thoughts and prayers are with you.
keep up the fight!
and i'm sorry that you encountered these types of people in our country.
Who's Ana A.?
Hi Brian! I just read your pinoypress interview Front Page! Congratulations! It was concise pet packed with info and fact. In a matter of 2 weeks, your blog has really been a great hit!
brian your writing is compelling!
i had no idea the instances leading to your leaving for Aus were this harrowing.
Now i understand even more fully where your strength is coming from. You've been deeply hurt and deceived by a person you loved wholly and truthfully.
Mr montano and the gucci gang deserves this....and more!
Keep up the good fight!
DJ is a typical con artist. Sleek and charming on the outside and if you are not careful and discerning enough, you'd be drawn to his scheme. Let this be a lesson to everyone.
What my mom told me is so true: "All that glitters isn't gold." She has always reminded me to be simple and live within my means. I am so thankful she never got tired of telling me that.
Thank you for this Brian, you really put it so well. You really deserve our thanks.
From the Pinoypress interview (http://www.pinoypress.net/2008/03/19/brian-gorrell-and-his-sordid-scorching-sensational-tale-of-betrayal/4/):
In hindsight, how do you view now the circle in which CK, Christine and the others move around in?
Toxic and drug-induced boredom. I despise what they represent. The Philippines needs beacons of light, not spotlights of shame.
I pity the youth who have few real dignified people to observe and aspire to be. It’s all about money and family and who owns this and who controls that.
Brian I feel bad that you had to go through these things. I can feel your pain :( I will pray for you! Just be strong. You're putting up a good fight.
XOXO, J.
Brian my heart goes out to you. I really hope you can recover your lost money.
I am disturbed that Celine is a trustee in the Ateneo Art Awards. That is supposed to be the best institution of higher learning and one of the most prestigious art awards in the country. Why is their main trustee/curator/representative a cocaine addict?
Attention ATENEO!
Awww I can't believe Siesta gets death threats too! :-(
Brian, I can't wait until your book comes out! :-)
Brian, go ahead and name the dealer. Let's get rid of the scum, one by one.ii
brian, i can really feel the pain, anger and frustration you have in your heart. you were totally taken for a ride by shameless bastards and bitches...
if DJ and Celine are really rich, Php 3.6M is nothing... i am not in their circle of high society but i can come up with that amount in less than a minute by calling my bank. again, i am just an ordinary guy... not from the elite or high social circle.
i hope what follows help... tim yap is from St. Jude Catholic School and so am I... you can send your blogs or things about him to our yahoogroup. Our Catholic School run by SVD priest are so proud to have an alumni like him... They will never be proud of alumna like me because we are down to earth but CASH-RICH...hehehehe
You may forward your blog or comments about tim yap to:
sjcsalumni@yahoogroups.com or judenites@yahoogroups.com
More power to you and keep on fighting...
These guys need a lesson or two about messing with an Aussie...
"kristian said...
this blog's a sensation..hope you just be easy with celine..she may have feet of clay, but i think she's a good person.. March 19, 2008 1:20 PM"
-- you honestly still think she's a good person? have you been reading the blog at all?
I had a friend who got deep into drugs. He changed. Thank god he pulled out of it. He was not a bad person but the drugs changed him, and while he was deep into it - he was unrecognizable.
Likewise, I will grant that perhaps this is true for the GG. Maybe they are good people deep down inside. But not while they are deep into the drugs. Money and a life of privilege can easily make you think you are above every thing and drugs on top it all can't be a good combination.
Honestly, SOMEONE should intervene, do a drug text, do random drug tests at Embassy... this madness must stop. When people start behaving this way - something must be done. It is only proper.
As regards your postings on this blog and this unabashed expose... true that we only hear your side, but somehow there is a ring of truth, only a few have stood up for the member of GG and the one or two that did have tenuous excuses for the behavior you describe. To say that so-and-so is a 'good person' in the light of all you have described is not defense enough, and like in a movie where the villain has gotten away with almost everything - the audience gains a deep sense of gratification when this villain is caught and we see him getting his comeuppance. But this is real life. The catharsis is just as real. No one should have to endure what you have gone through.
So, yes, Brian. Rattle the cage. Shake their universe. Wrong or right, the world has changed. The internet is a tool so use it. Let people know that there is a new way to deal with things. That those who are well-connected, or moneyed are no longer 'immune' from the effects of their actions. That, in fact, being in their positions in society, they should be MORE responsible for what they do.
I am forwarding this blog link to everyone I know.
GO BRIAN! AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
best entry ever.
i think that it's all about details.
it not only shows the bigger picture but also what's going through the tiniest precipice of your emotional state at that moment.
i can't say i'm here for you because i don't know you. all i know is that i respect you and your efforts to air your dirty laundry out there, to let everyone smell it, and tell them this is who you are and what you have gone through.
No, it's not enough. Filipinos are a FORGETFUL people! Why do we let imelda and her family gallavant around manila? Have we forgotten where they got their wealth?
There is no accountability in this country! People forget past sins and "move on". That's why we're so poor! That's why were stuck in the 3rd world! THERE IS NO JUSTICE.
brian, don't stop this until you get justice!
everyone, continue to show the gucci gang that their ways are wrong! What were doing now is NOT ENOUGH!
WTF! DJ, you are the lowest of the low! Its payback time for you and your lowlife "friends". What goes around comes around. B, i pray you get the justice you desrve. Remember there is a just God that sees everything. Hang in there.. We're all behind you!!
Can someone please a post a list of products, companies, establishments that these people supposedly endorse so we can boycott and put pressure on them
I believe you 200% dude. I've been to parties at the club... and your descriptions are quite accurate. I even know some people who are hopeless drug addicts such as the personalities you've mentioned... I think I've met the cocaine dealer you speak of as well, he's reputedly THE top cocaine dealer in Metro Manila... a friend of mine pointed at him from afar and told me about his illegal activities, he should be hanged in public ... give us a clue dude... is he the slightly tall skinny sonofabitch with colored hair? They can no longer deny you Brian, in the end, truth does prevail.
Brian your latest blog is not what I have expected it to be. My co workes were expecting the continuation of the western receipts? we want to see it so we can believe that he took monwy? Why are you delayig it?
Hiding it.
Hi, Brian! Did you say you were at the Pen with your Mom just last January 2008? The failed coup attempt (where the tanks crashed the Front Lobby entrance) didn't happen a week before, but last November 29, 2007 to be exact. I'm kind of confused with the dates you mentioned. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you. -- from, SB
To answer the question above-
Marco (Jackie's husband) Antonio's family owns and controls Century Properties Group -http://www.century-properties.com
u can see him on the photo with his dad etc on the page
can't believe jackie was in the hotel with your latest post!
this is why the philippines is so fucked up. because of people like DJ.
I am praying for you and justice you deserve, Brian. What goes around comes around. DJ will fall hard soon!
hello brian. dont stress yourself too much. take care of yourself please. us middle class pinoys will fight half of your battle (since we cant pay for what was robbed off you, i mean emotionally.) :)
i am also sad that this blog doesnt get televised. scared as hell (or the people involved are related to them?idk.). boo hoo.
ituloy ang pakikibaka! hanggang sa mabayaran na sya! whoo hoo!
-xoxo
Why is Celine a trustee and a judge for the Ateneo Art Awards anyway? What credentials does she have that makes her a good judge of art in this country? I suspect it's all about the popularity thing. Eeek! Ateneo should make a second look on this. My goodness! Prestigious institution pa naman ang Ateneo and they have a coke addict in their fold.
Baka dapat ilipat si Celine sa Dangerous Drugs Board or something?
Anonymous 447, you are way too obvious. way to nitpick.
http://geninemoons.blogspot.com/2008/03/supporting-fellow-blogger-in-his-time.html
I'm supporting you, Brian.
PJP
wi'm in support for you.. dnt wori...
Your blog confuses me Brian. I wanted the story of the money. But all you are doing is saying vulgars about every gang. I think its best to just go and put everything to the court. You and Mr. Montano. Its the best way. Unless you want all your life revealing foolish stories of everyone. Why not go to court Mr. Gorrell.
If you win, at least everyone will know who is telling a lie.
GoD Bless.
brian my prayers are with you.

BRIAN
PLEASE POST A CHRISTIAN BLOG FOR THE WEEKEND. WE DO NOT WANT THE YOUNG MINDS THINKING OF EVIL THINGS THIS WEEKEND. THANK YOU BRIAN. HAPPY EASTER IN ADVANCE.
THE LORD WILL ALWAYS HELP US IF WE DO GOOD TO HIM AND HIS FOLLOWERS.
AMAZING! I want to make a movie out of this: "The unTalented Mr. Montano"
The movie starts with a blur of events (lomo effect):
the night when DJ screamed like little girl.
Story telling will be 'in medias res'.
How will this movie end?
Brian, your blog is really starting to create change and the perception of social scene in Manila. Passed by Embassy last night and it almost completely empty- looks like nobody wants to be seen hanging out there anymore.
Keep on going! Don't let these posers fool us anymore!
i sure hope Romy Neri is also reading this blog. tutal he's gay naman talaga. but i think getting that out in the open is stopping him from revealing what he knows about the NBN deal...
dapat mag ala-Brian na siya. we won't be able to overcome these crises of trying to belong, trying to be rich, trying to be powerful, trying to be someone we're not if people who perpetrate them are not held liable for their actions.
you see Brian, your disclosures are not only making us aware of the ugly realities in our society that we have allowed for so long to exist. it is also helping us evaluate how we should respond to the injustice, that if one commits a crime, we all have a duty to make him account for it. what's amazing is, you have a following now who will dishonor these people and put them in their right place (sana kasi i-ban na yang mga lifestyle pages na yan eh...) all of us against their lot! woohoo! we can call it the anti-social climber revolution! haha.
thanks a thousand fold to you Brian for your courage and for inspiring a nation to stop tolerating injustice. good luck and i hope you get your money back (and more! i'll buy your book promise :))
Celine has been dropped as an endorser for a clothing brand...DJ has been fired as a teacher and writer...just don't know if Celine will continue writing for the newspaper
In behalf of my country I apologized for all the things that you experienced. The truth is not all Filipinos are like that. You just went to the wrong group of friends. It's really a huge shame that we have people ( I guess they are popular as mentioned-no idea cos I live in another country now)like them. For a third world country ***WE DO NOT NEED PEOPLE LIKE THEM*** SUCH A SHAME!!!
They are trying to be cool acting like hollywood stars pretending... lies...what a pity!
Brian,
Your story made me cry. I am so sorry that you experienced that. I feel ashamed for my fellow Filipinos who did this to you.
This is sad. How can we ever improve as a country if these popular people in the society are trash... I am pretty sure the youth look up to them as role models... what a shame!!!
SAD... SAD...
Ipa-raid ko ang Embassy Club na 'yan this coming Friday 21 March at around 10pm to 2am. *wink wink. I will make sure all those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. - Mamang Pulis, Sonny R.
is DJ Montano a grandson to former senator who was accused of multiple murder in the 50's?
BRIAN would you pls post a story about your past life, where you live? the countries you have been? your family. You ispire me but i need to know what you do for a living.
to anonymous 4:47 pm
you're right. he confused the dates.
so what?
what matters is the failed coup happened before they checked in (jan 2008) and not after.
which proves he's not lying...just not anal about dates.
Good day Sir,
I am a student in the Phiippines. We are doing a thesis on your blog. Would you be kind enough to give us info about you sir.
It is only mostly bout the Gucci gang and Mr.Montano.
How about you sir.
Thank you.
How old are you sir?
This is your best entry yet! I could feel your pain as I was reading the article, especially your account of what transpired when the police dragged you because of those false charges DJ made.
I could also feel the anguish at being rejected, rejected by DJ's friends when they couldn't even look at you as the police were escorting you in the holtel lobby for everyone to see.
I am sorry you had to experience all this in our country. It is a shame that something like this happened to a visitor in a country that prides itself on its hospitality. I deeply apologize Brian.
Keep writing. Keep exposing them. Keep telling us what you feel. We are here to listen and support you.
Hey Brian,
I heard that Celine's sister sells FAKE Hermes Birkins
We are no longer supporting the Philippine Star for believing and patronizing the Gucci Gang. Our alumnae have been sending emails to stop advertising and patronizing in Philippine Star until the lifestyle editor wakes up and smells the coffee.
HAVE A GOOD DAY!
ANG SASAMA NG UGALI NG MGA TAONG PASOSYAL NA TO. YOU HAVE NO GOOD MANNERS AND RIGHT CONDUCT! YOU'RE WHAT'S SHAMEFUL OF THIS COUNTRY!
All I can say is even if the stories are true or not, it is libelous. It’s also defamatory and a sort of HATE Blog. Our Philippine laws state that:
Article 353 of the Revised Penal Code defines libel as “a public and malicious imputation of a crime, or of a vice or defect, real or imaginary, or any act, omission, condition, status or circumstance tending to cause the dishonor, discredit or contempt of a natural or juridical person, or to blacken the memory of one who is dead”.
PLEASE KINDLY POST THIS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I'm sorry on what happened to you Brian.
Screw you Dj! come out come out and pay back on what you stole from Brian!
To people who want the Star to get rid of these writers and are canceling advertisements:
I hope that when you make your cancellations, you tell whoever it is you are talking to that you are removing the ads because of these people, because otherwise, they really won't know what it is you want them to change.
As far as I know, the Belmontes aren't big on the Internet or gossip, so they probably don't know (rather than don't care) what is going on.
good luck bryan. i think DJ will not pay but at least nakaganti ka na. i'll support you by not supporting any product, service, event that the GG is involved in.
Kudos to those people who've pulled out their ad placements in the Star. Perhaps when they start losing more revenue they'll begin to rethink the value of integrity when it comes to their staff.
I also agree with a listing of all companies/products associated with the "stars" of this whole affair. Boycott them all until they, too, realize the ramifications of being represented by these characters.
This is one of the more constructive ways to deal with these people, unlike the freewheeling mudslinging of some commenters who, unlike Brian, have nothing to lose.
From now on, I will ask my sister to stop shopping at Plains and Prints which Celine endorses (will tell her to check Kamiseta instead; Natalie Portman is far more human).
Unless they remove their Tim Yap collection, I will never dare visit Folded and Hung again.
I will boycott each and every product that any of the Gucci Gang members endorse or will endorse in the future. I don't want to be an unwitting accessory to the crime which is their addiction.
go on Philippine national tv. international even. heck go to every media outlets that will air your story. file embezzlement charges in Australian courts. use your connections. think DJ is hiding in Singapore? contact Singapore press. shame him in every hotel and restaurant in Singapore. shame in Australia. shame him in the US and Canada. shame him even in his school he attended. report his name to the interpol. shame him on the internet. post your links all over at every forum. shame him all over the world. get mad, get even, get everything.
but whatever you do. just dont blog. dont hold back. destroy.
"i love this comment"
There's such a thing as Tim Yap Collection at Folded & Hung? Yikes! If they are inspired by Tim Yap's taste then I guess it's sooooo baduy! Dios mio! Whoever says that Tim is a fashion icon must be a cast of The Emperor's New Clothes.
Tim Yap for Folded & Hung? He isn't even "hung" hahahaha
@3:27 PM
to all those who're in love and been in love.... i know we can all relate to what happened to brian.
so true, so true! and the looking back, in retrospect, "what the h@ll was I thinking?!?!?!?!"
brian, i really feel for you. i've been betrayed by the people i love, taking away some pride, some degree of respect. but you were stripped of a large sum AND your dignity. FOUL!!!
i am ashamed that duplicitous dj is my fellow Filipino, but i know that the vast majority of Filipinos, both from the high class and those striving to make a daily existence, are much better than him.
CELINES SISTER SELLS FAKE HERMER BIRKINS.
I just read in the inquirer that even your really cute dog siesta is getting death threats?? how pathetic can thay be?!
Anyway i'm positive that you will win this battle. more power to you Brian and God bless you and your dog siesta :)
Your blog confuses me Brian. I wanted the story of the money. But all you are doing is saying vulgars about every gang. I think its best to just go and put everything to the court. You and Mr. Montano. Its the best way. Unless you want all your life revealing foolish stories of everyone. Why not go to court Mr. Gorrell.
If you win, at least everyone will know who is telling a lie.
GoD Bless.
To the person who posted the above message, have you EVEN read the rest of the posts here!? Brian probably told, in stone cold detail, everything about the money stolen from him by Montano. Brian even posted the receipts as evidence! Those rants about the Gucci Gang are just icings on the cake.
And its funny that you mentioned about Brian going into court. Don't you even know Brian's enemies here? The Montanos, The Lopezes... those are pretty influential people.
And judging on HOW CORRUPT our judicial system is, it's kinda funny that you couldn't connect the dots: Brian has no chance in winning our corrupt courts. With those influential enemies, they'll just manipulate the jury.
I don't mean to be MEAN, but its kinda surprising you're still oblivious about our country's corrupt justice system. I'm not hating, just telling the truth.
---------------------------------
As for Brian, dude we're all rooting for you. The only ones probably not with you are the actual Gucci Gangsters themselves.
I don't think Montano's gonna pay you, the cheap conniving bastard that he is.
The best advice I can give you is accept the Google adsense and other blog sponsors.
That way, you're earning money on the expense of Montano. At least in one way or another, you're making him pay for all these crap he's given you. And it's in no way charity, because its your OWN writing that keeps people coming back for more. At least this is an alternate fall back in case you need money for your medication in the future.
Godbless Brian. We wish you all the best. I hope your perception about Filipinos doesn't change. We are actually good people. It's just that some, like Montano and company, are just conniving little bastards.
Take care.
WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF DEALING WITH THE PENINSULA MANILA WITH REGARDS TO THE GUCCI GANG. TO BAN THEM IN THE ESTABLISHMENT! OTHERWISE, ALL OUR ALLIES, GROUP OF COMPANIES WILL MAKE THE PENINSULA A FLOP!
WE HAVE A MEETING TOGETHER WITH THE REST OF THE ALLIES AFTER THE HOLY WEEK.... WE WILL MAKE SURE TO BAN ALL OF THE GANG OUT OF THE PENINSULA OR THEY LOOSE ALL THEIR SALES AND PATRONS OF THE HOTEL WITH REGARDS TO THE DRUG DEALINGS AND IRRESPONSIBLE ACTIVITIES OF THIS GROUP WHO ARE NOT EVEN PANINSULA LOYALISTS.
WE WILL MAKE IT A POINT TO BAN THEM AT THE PEN HOTEL OR THEY LOOSE ALL THEIR RESERVATIONS IN THE SUCCEDING TIME.
THIS REQUEST OF OURS WILL ALSO BE FORWARDED TO ALL PENINSULA HOTELS FOR INSTANT ACTION. WE WILL MAKE SURE TO BAN THEM.
hey bryan show us some pictures.. your story sounds like Dirty Sexy Money already... a fiction. O by the way, Imeldas grandson doesn't do drugs at all. Big Mistake hahahaha . He hates cocaine. Stick to the objective man. You and DJ
i see an Amazon Ad on your site, which is just good. if DJ doesnt pay (which I doubt he will)
at least youll earn something from exposing the shits that they are.
God bless you Brian, its sad that a thing like this would happen to you and in our country pa
ur blog brian is really a perfect gift for me.. i'm damn having fun reading this one! drop more bombs bro!
was amazed that tim yap is gay? WTF! is he the guy connected with studio 23 and the one being thrown out of that newspaper company??.. wew! more buzz brian!
yah right, stupid lovelife! :).. it's being single once again!
101% agree with tom Yam ... the Amazon ad is a start... make money out of that coward DJ's name.
And for the GG if you say that Brian is lying and crap then say it on national TV that hes a fraud oh and show some evidence please. And i pray that somebody do a drug test on these people quick to really prove that Brian is the person telling the truth here.
Pinoypress.net interview of Brian is fantastic! He is right that the GG will protect each other no matter what (perhaps except for those Brian says have emailed him and asked to be excused from this mess). Mr. Retail "Scion" himself met his end in the condo of Celine. And they even had to get Makati mayor himself to appear at the scene to ensure the press would use anything but OD as the reason. Can't believe Celine and his parents made people cry at the funeral. Hopefully, people are now crying because they were fooled. I'm sorry but I would have to blame the parents in this case. All of them. For failing to take their kids to rehab or jail.
Some legal advice, Brian. Keep at this blog, but be careful of what you say to mainstream, Philippine-based media.
See, Philippine libel/defamation laws state that libel/defamation cases be filed at the court nearest to the accused publication's office.
And, technically, no one in the Philippines can bring you to court for something you publish from outside the Philippines.
However, you could still be sued for libel or defamation for anything you say to publications that publish from within the Philippines.
But keep this blog up! I hope you get your money back.
Why don't you try ChipIn?
BIG... BIG... BIG...
HUG
for BRIAN
i'm from davao city and we don't know each other but i admire your courage. be strong and you'll get the justice that you deserve. sometimes, we have to learn the hard way and you're quite unfortunate that the hard way.
i am here to support you. don't let it get to you. you can survive this. you will survive this.
xoxo..
moi(hehe..)
to the one who wrote: "was amazed that tim yap is gay? WTF!"... haha! i liked this comment. i think you're funny!
i thought manufacturers get product endorsers because they represent the whole "image" of their wares... if that's so, something's wrong with plains and prints because it hires the nastiest image models.
as regards the philstar's lifestyle writers... well, manong max must be turning in his grave because of you.
Who's Ana A the lesbian? I was at embassy VIP one time and noticed the gucci gang there, then I saw a girl who was with the group making out with another girl at a far corner.
isn't BRYANBOY a member of the GUCCI GANG?
ana a., the daughter of a "s_n_t_r"?
bryanboy was never part of the GG. he always wanted to be but somehow, never got in the inner circle.
Pathetic Gucci Gang (heard some of them use fake Guccis anyway)! All of them should take drug tests and placed in rehab if found positive!
Banning the GG from Peninsula is right! We are also now in the process of getting together a group of companies, restaurant, cafe and establishment owners to ban them from setting foot in our establishments. We urge you to help in this cause and do the same with your network. This is a SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY that we must do. NO to drugs! NO to thievery and abuse of innocent people! NO to these vile criminals that call themselves Filipinos and give our country a bad name. Money/connections do not talk. JUSTICE, GOODNESS and the TRUTH do!
In the end, truth shall triumph Brian. Keep fighting -- all of us are with you. Looking forward to your next revelations about this pathetic group of social climbers.
DJ MONTANO, walang hiya! BAYAD NA!!!! GAGO KA!
Brian,you may not remember me but we met once in a dinner hosted by Tina O. sometime ago. Xeng Zulueta was there too. I appeal to, please,leave Celine L alone. She has nothing to do with your predicament right now. She is a sweet, admittedly at times naive, but nonetheless nice person. I know her more than you do. She makes me laugh and happy. So please, find peace in your heart and live your life. - Jacques Dupasquier

-This Dupasquier is an arrogant bastard who treats people like crap. Oh, and did I mention he's a coke head too?
in reference to this post:
this blog's a sensation..hope you just be easy with celine..she may have feet of clay, but i think she's a good person..
March 19, 2008 1:20 PM
celine is a good person?
are you for real?
as brian was whisked away by the police, what did she do?
nothing.
brian asked her for help with the $70,000? and what did your good girl do?
nothing.
some say she shouldnt be involved in this.
if i lost $70,000 i would drag everyone down. heck, id stir up a hornet's nest.
way to go bri.
be easy on celine? hell no.
id slap her till my fingernails fall off or her celeteque face rips up. whichever comes first.
then wipe the blood off her face with plains and prints shit, i mean shirt.
oh hell whats the difference.
546... feed the protozoa in your brain... naghihingalo na... read what you just said... "Philippine laws"
and then... THINK!
9mm, winner ka! I think I like you already. :)

Am ashamed that such a group exist in the Philippines. What happened to you is really traumatic. Just wandering why the television media haven't pick up this news yet. Kudos to the Inquirer and Mla Standard for being objective
Can something that is TRUE be MALICIOUS? Libel laws apply to private citizens. But as far as I am concerned, the people mentioned are all public figures with endorsements and publicity photos. In fact, they sought publicity every waking moment including when they were coked up. No one asked these people to lead public lives. They loved to show off and enjoyed the attention. Media attention is like marriage. It is 24/7 and has to exist in 'sickness and in health' till they become has-beens do they part. That's why when socialites who wear cheap clothes (and don't pay their dress bills) cry when they get comprominsingly papped, I have NO SYMPATHY for them.
To those people who are demanding that Brian post more proof of the money that he sent DJ, Brian DOESN'T OWE YOU ANYTHING. Brian has made his point and he doesn't need to publish EVERYTHING on the internet. Leave the rest for legal matters. What has been written on this blog, the receipt, and the way C and DJ reacted is proof enough.
By the way, love the Pinoy Press interview, Brian! Hope you do more interviews and spread the word about DJ!
DESTROY THAT ASSHOLE!
BRI - AN! BRI - AN! BRI - AN!
Go brian! :-)
hugs,
liz
PS: arent you pleased at how many people luv you? would be 10x sweeter i know, if you got your money back and your heart ain't broken :-(..
Is DJ in Manila? If not where is he? Does anyone have recent pic of him?
No to drugs!
No to Date Rape!
No to Sex in the public Restroom!
No to Gucci Gang!
Close down embassy!!!
How come the mayor and police have not done anything about Embassy yet?!
The NBI?
No Raid whatsoever?!?!
What restaurants right now are connected to DJ? I'd like to steer clear of those.
boycott Embassy! it's not safe there! lots of f*cking posers and junkies!
calling PDEA! How come you haven't raided this place? WTF?
Hello Brian from (still) chilly Paris!!
geesh..your latest blog moved me to tears ( how dare u ruin my fake mascara!!, just making you smile, m8!)
2 of Celine's freinds called me again :-) guess what , apparently, Celine's parent's are DOING EVERYTHING to stop you( as if!!) They even called DFA chief to "convince" the Australian Ambassador to do "favours" for them, but heck, after the Ozzie police and Phil. Emb staff went to you, DFA-manila got a call from their "boss" to back-out. Coz SHE (the boss, aka GMA) does not want "her government" to be "used" and perhaps , maybe even open more can of worms on her side;-)
As for the other "gangmates" some pan to lie-low for a bit and go here to Europe... some of the parents of the "gangmates" EVEN called Amb. ESPIRITU (in London) to "pacify" their vacation.... THE NERVE!!!!! but am sure, Amb. Espiritu denied their request..coz i sent your blogs to various PHILIPPINE EMBASSIES here in Europe;-) am sure if one Ambassador "allows these favours", his/her staff will blog it here and expose them;-)
Btw, I also emailed a Pinoy friend based in Berlin ( he is gay) he will try to distribute your blogs re: DJ so the LGBT community can stay away from DJ and the rest...
am sure like Tim Yap-Yuck..; he still MILKS this Parisian photographer ;-) maybe i should contact him too(mmmm i will!) .; so better inform the LGBT community here.. so the "gang mates" can never FOOL anyone else:-)
To DJ: just try/dare to go here in Paris... I will be the first one to SHAME U in PUBLIC ;-)
To: Celine: Be like your cousin, Melissa.. she is a ROLE MODEL!!! luv her to bits!!
To Tim Yap-Yuck: tick tack tick tack: TIME's UP! give it up! same, I will SHAME U here in PUBLIC, so don't even dare to be here ;-)
TO ALL BLOGGERS:
Let's help BRIAN.. Let's SHAME THE GUCCI-CUCHI GANG! Photocopy pictures of DJ on A4-size with a caption: SWINDLER !!! and distribute it everywhere
plus don't forget to mention ALL the GG-members too.. and just put a caption: BEWARE!!!
SHAME TREATMENT IS ALL THEY NEED... not only in the Philippines BUT EVERYWHERE:-) SPILL all what you know ppl!!
Brian.. keep the fire burning in your heart... continue to smile in spite of this traumatic events... Live Life and enjoy.... Never give up coz in the end, you are the VICTOR:-) and after this "battle" , continue to love again..; you deserve to be love for REAL and for a very long time.....
Paix, Amour et Bonheur

parisian belle ;-)
ok brian we all know about tim's small dick! what about tina's? she looks like an asian version of chris farley hahaha
is that you angelique?
parisian belle, when you said they are asking Ambassador Espiritu to "pacify" their vacation to London, are you saying that they are asking our embassy to shoulder their expenses while they are in London? If yes, WTF!!!
Are we really this fucked up that spoiled brats can just ask our foreign embassies to "pacify" their trips?
hey marco's not gay he tried to hit on me many times!!! i doubt it and many other girls too!!! we even complain about that on him?! so how can he be gay?
Brian, I beg of you, leave Celine alone. She is a good girl. I am not perfect either, I admit to doing coke every so often and to fooling Filipina girls into marrying me but please leave Celine out of this. Jacques Dupasquier
DJ has to pay up!! Parang awa mo na DJ magbayad ka na, kasi si Brian nagiging dios na dito sa Pilipinas. Kulang nalang sabihin niyang lalake si GMA maniniwala ang buong bayan kahit walang proof. Para na shang si El Shadai. Puro kwentong walang binabasihan pero paniwalang paniwala ang mga spectator sa blog na to. Sige na DJ para matapos na to kasi naaawa nako sa ibang taong sinasali niya wala namang kinalaman.
oh my god! are you that feeling tina?! you had the audacity to wear a bikini!!! hey everyone check out the elephant's bikini pic in the tina tinio entry!!!
this weekend's a looooong one so i'm forwarding this blogsite to as many yahoogroups as i know!!!!!! this story just so needs to be spread around.
Hey Dj i think you better respond to Brian!!
Your the root of this all!!!
Shame on what you did to him!!
and now decent people like Celine,Chut,Tina,Tim,Marco etc... are being dragged in this while their intention (specially celine)is to give help to a friend,which later on wer also being fooled by DJ!!!
Thats why you dont have a restaurant that last even before you finish the lease of the place, my god so pretentious!!!
Brian i hope you get your money back ! Kayo naman puro kayo kunyari support kay brian. When push comes to shove tutulong ba kayo kay brian. Chismis lang ang gusto niyo at paninira. Puro kayo mga anonymous. Buti pa si kitty go my balls kahit walang balls.
to the one who wrote: "oh my god! are you that feeling tina?! you had the audacity to wear a bikini!!! hey everyone check out the elephant's bikini pic in the tina tinio entry!!! March 19, 2008 9:06 PM"... please post the link. thank you!
Team Brian One & All.
I do not know Brian personally but I know these people & their circle having been born into a family sucking the life out of our country --- my blood & relations steal,steal, steal and hold onto power by any means, even destroying each other. Meanwhile spoiled brats become of their children, lost in all their acquired riches, drowning in leeching friends, cars, sex & drugs; lives without direction. Outside the family looks 'all that glitters' what with the annual family calendars given to the masa recounting 'faked' achievements. Sayang, the masathey are fooling are too naive to do anything but lap up their stories. That Montano asshole comes from that similar circle but is just a pretender --- no more cash. Celine's a product by that vicious greed, her mother a secretary cohabited with a Lopex and destroyed a family, then stolepower & wealth from unsuspecting Guimaras were Celine is worshipped & idolized by the youth. Knowing what happens in closed doors I couldnt stand all of the corrupt deception & has long left for Europe.
I applaud you for the Venue, the Bravery & the Voice you have given people while seeking for your own justice. Knowing Evil Emily (no remorse, no conscience) she'll do everything to stop this. Sadly, Democratic Australia is beyond her vile & limited understanding of freedom. There are more powerful people who are listening to you, with the clout to protect you.Silently they listen deep in their heart what they know is real & true. Keep it up, my prayers go to you.
Kitty, Parisian Belle, Everyone --- let's keep up the support and keep doing what we can. Not because we hate these people & what they stand for, because we know that itis the right thing to do.
Brian,
I am sure there are a lot of Filipinos/australians who can help you out file cases of embezzlement and qualified theft against DJ.
Easy on Celine she's really kind hearted and giving when a friend is in need... just like you Brian she was also trick by DJ's slippery tongue. you know that brian you witness it yourself, your just mad with what happened. a friend went up to her asking for help, respond would be of course give help!!!
Oh my Beezesus.. the coke pusher is the Filipino asswipe comedian Maverick. The plot is getting thicker and better. I suspect the Don of the Mafia family is Palito.
Dj pay up you stupid, asshole. Kayo naman mga supporters dyan padalan niyo kaya si brian ng pera tsaka wag na kayon anonymous total you know that "this is the right thing to do diba". Pakita niyo kay Brian na talagang tunay kayong kaibigan. Ilagay ninyo address niyo at email at totoong pangalan. Yan ang problema natin eh ang lakas ng loob magsalita pero puro anonymous. Pahabaan pa ng sulat na puro flowery english words.
