BLOOD on Who's Hands?

Author: Brian Shane // Category: , , , , , , ,




DJ's Mother and Two Sisters


DJ would never talk about his family with me.
Never.
And I thought this to be so strange,
because I talk about my family the time.
Both the good and the bad.

But there is one thing that always troubled me.
He changed his story a few times about his fathers murder.
He could not keep track of his lies.
Told me the Marco's killed his father.

Then a street gang.

Because you see,

DJ's father's death is as mysterious as Joel Tantoco's
death.
To many people, this is an unsolved murder.

Some of the Montanos have a sneaky suspicion that DJ's
mom had a hand in the death of the dad.

DJ's dad was the only child of Governor Montano.

Aurora (nickname Auring) was rumored to be an employee of the rich
Montanos. In fact, there are strong rumors that she was "house help".

Why?

Because people would often notice how she would mangle the
English language every time she'd open her mouth.

I spoke to her as well.
Well, I was actually just threatened by her.
Scared the heck out of me.

Anyway, DJ's dad knocked her up and they got married.

VERY much to the disappointment of Governor Montano's wife.

She was FURIOUS.

Story goes that DJ's dad would always beat her up.

One time, when the family was living in the U.S.,
his mom had to call the police because she was beaten
up black and blue. When they went back to the
Philippines in the 1980s, DJ's mom couldn't take
it anymore.

It was rumored that she had someone kill
DJ's father.
And that the mastermind was somebody having an
affair with DJ's mom.

It was no secret at the time that DJ's mother was having a long term affair.
DJ is a cheater too.
But we all know that.

This is the reason why DJ is such a troubled person.

One of the reasons.
There are others.
We will get to them as well.
In time.

Too many skeletons in the family closet.
It's rattling with bones.

Not everyone in the family is bad, though.
Governor Montano and his wife, (DJ's grandparents) were good
people.
Many have confirmed this through research.

How about Senator Montano who is DJ's great grandfather?

Crazy bastard.

That's another story.

He wasn't called a warlord for nothing.

He's the only Senator on record who slapped another Senator on the Senate floor.

This I find amazing because DJ lifted his hand to me once and screamed,

I AM A MONTANO!

I laughed out loud and he was actually shocked.
I screamed back that I was a GORRELL.
Because I am.

Auring (DJ's mom) was in the news a few years back
when she tried to broker a government deal which
would have earned her a HUGE amount in kickbacks. This
was the PEA-Amari Land Scam. She was the subject of an
investigation in the Philippine Senate in 1996.
Read about the government scam DJ's mom was involved in
atthe website of the Philippine Center for
InvestigativeJournalism at
http://www.pcij.org/stories/1998/amari.html



It's all quite fascinating.
Powerful people fleecing The Philippines.
Over and over and over again.
It makes me sick to my guts.
Poor people EVERYWHERE, and all they do is line theor pockets.
Over and over again.

The poor stay poor.

And the rich get filthier.

Filthy Rich.


When you read the article, you will see the hand
of DJ's uncle Bobby Montano and DJ's mom, Aurora
"Auring" Montano.

They were caught red-handed trying to
skim off the Filipino taxpayers with Billions of Pesos.
They were, of course, caught and the deal did NOT
push through. But because of their connections, they
were not criminally charged.

AGAIN

The failed PEA-Amari Land Scam was supposed to be
DJ's mom's ticket to big money as the Montano family
left her nothing when DJ's dad died. Unfortunately,
the deal never materialized.

At present, DJ's mom is
a small-time land developer in Cavite.

The land that she is now developing is the very
same land where her compound is located (in the
outskirts of Tanza, Cavite).

Her compound is called BONITO DEL MAR (which in Spanish means "Beautiful Place by
the Sea").

I have a feeling this is where DJ is currently hiding.
DJ's mom now makes a living selling lots in her BONITO DEL MAR compound
notwithstanding the fact that the compound is NOT beside the
coastline of Tanza, Cavite but rather beside a very small stagnant creek (talk about truthfulness in
advertising).

DJ's mom is, of course, now the girlfriend of Benjie Laurel -- a great grandson of a former President
and Supreme Court Justice, a grandson of a former
Speaker of the House of Representatives, and a nephew of a
former Vice-President.

Benjie Laurel used to be
the best friend of DJ's dad when they were growing up.


The lawyer that DJ is presently using (that Mr.
Oliveros who sent me an e-mail) was given to him
by Benjie Laurel.
Mr. Oliveros is a lawyer connected
to the Laurel Law Office.

The funny thing about Benjie Laurel is that his
cousin, Cholo Laurel (a movie director), was DJ's
former boyfriend (they lived together for a few
years). Cholo (who is at least 10-15 years older
than DJ), dumped DJ when he caught DJ fucking another
guy in their very own bed (DJ was too cheap to bring
his boy-toy somewhere else.
DJ had the nerve to cheat
on his boyfriend on the very same bed he was sharing
with his boyfriend)

De javu!.

DJ is a really troubled person. The "GG" is
actually composed of very troubled persons. They should
all get professional help. There are very good
psychiatrists in Manila.

Please make an appointment DJ.

Pay UP!

going back to the early part of this blog,

who was the idiot ambassador/consul to australia that managed to make the aussie police confiscate brian's computers? were they returned? when? what was the supposed case to be filed against brian?

i seriously doubt it was a directive from the philippine government since this issue is not of national concern for either country. how did the gucci gang manage to bypass our government's bureaucracy and have an order carried out IMMEDIATELY and DUTIFULLY by no less than a philippine ambassador?

is this puppet ambassador on the gucci gang's payroll?

Wow! You really do good search of materials for this EVIL family.

I'm just a blog follower and am amazed at how dysfunctional these people are. I am no longer surprised after reading DJ's family background that he came from criminal breeding.

Not only it's probably true his mom had a hand on his Dad's killing but his dad probably lived an un-Saintly life and deserved what he got. Except in this case, the criminal is out and not in jail. Another possible Cover-Up,then again, this is "da pilippines" and everything can be pushed under the rug.

From Sydney's Newspaper:
==================
"...Montano's and Lopez's lawyers have demanded that Gorrell stop the blog. "If [Gorrell doesn't sue], it's really because he has no case, I'm sure of that," Montano's lawyer, Jose Oliveros, told the South China Morning Post.

Asked why Gorrell was not being sued for defamation, Lopez's lawyer, Concepcion Jimenez-Aquino, said: "The major block for us in suing him is that he is in Australia."
=============

Mwahahahaha. Brian is right. Philippine court systems are fucked up. Everybody knows this. Thank god for free speech in Australia. This is the reason why this blog is great. You can bring down the rich and powerful. Its a fuckin EQUALIZER, BITCH.

hello brian...as i told you before take care that you dont sink into clinical depression.i am sure some members of the gucci gang have been to psychiatrists in manila or usa,its just that there is a stigma attached to seeing one for psychotherapy or pharmacotherapy in the philippines.also should they fall under personality disorders,it is unlikely they would seek intervention or consultation.
i say, should one's coping style becomes unwieldyits okay to ask for help and see a psychiatrist.

As scandalous as it sounds, crimes like this is already becoming so commonplace here in the Philippines. I just hope that the Filipino people do not get too blase and complacent that they just allow these crimes to go unpunished.

GMA Network is a huge DISAPPOINTMENT in this saga. The station banners that they are "walang kinikilingan, walang pinoprotektahan blablabla", but where are they in Brian's plight to search for truth?

the truth to the matter is that the coke sniffing "small titi" Tim Yap hosts one of the programs of QTv and was a runner up in a Celebrity(?) singing show over GMA-7. What a shame?! getting a drug addict to host a show!

but this "walang kinikilingan, walang pinoprotektahan blablabla" is no stranger to GMA Network. remember why Cheche Lazaro and the whole Probe team moved to ABS? because of "pagkikiling and pagpoprotekta" sa one of the relatives of a GMA executive.

GMA network is a bad cheetahhhh.

No wonder DJ Montano and Celine Lopez are BFFs. Aside from the screwed up values and screwed up family, their mothers are of the same feather.

Aurora Montano - maid who had an affair and got herself pregnant.

Emily Relucio - secretary who had an affair, probably got herself pregnant as well.

kickazzmomma Says :

Hi Bry,

There is a lot to say about mothers and their children...sad, sad,sad, this one.

You see, you are indeed been raised by a decent, God-fearing woman that is why you have turned into a loving, responsible adult, albeit a clueless one, because I am sure, the dirty sins of the world are not the bedtime stories that your mother rocked you to sleep. The filth of humanity is not the subject of your little talks. She raised a son in the sunshine of honesty and integrity that nothing prepared you when satan unleashed his foot soldiers in Boracay, hahaha!

On hindsight, we should feel really sorry for DJs mother that she has raised a person so much like herself. I think that is the most tragic thing that could happen to a mother, to bore a son that is only a shadow of a human being.

April 5, 2008 7:18 AM

I'm a relative of cokesnorer Celine Lopez (very, very distant, some documents non-existent, but let's go to my point, shall we?) & I'm quite pissed at her already. If she dares abuse her already dwindling power by shouting "I'm a Lopez", then I can just change my surname to Labrador or Odonell instead, since those surnames aren't synonymous to wealth, fame, fortune, the rich lifestyle, "high" class crap, influence shit, etc. I'd rather put a fist on her thick, air-filled head of hers and knock some sense to that wannabe. I'd say that I'm a Lopez. But I'm not arrogant, snobbish, and do not act like social wannabies and faux socialites. I'm humble to my roots, I'm not that arrogant, I try to help out people in distresss, and I pray that you will receive your 70K. Patience, persistence, and prayer could do the trick. By the way, I also read the Philippine Star, but I generally avoid the oversaturated Lifestyle sections. Some of the articles suck and despite your calls to boycott the said publication, I will read on. One day, the cokesnorters Tim and Celine will finally get pink slips (notices of terminaion) and get replaced by more competent writers. Despite your sins, God knows that he is on your side. Godspeed, Brian. I'll be praying for your safety and the recovery of the stolen $. No rest for the wicked... Good will always triumph and prevail over evil...

It won't be the downfall of evil, but the downfall of the cokesnorters is good enough. Don't fuck with the truth. Team Brian all the muthaphuckkin way!

It's called Kerosene by the laovely Miranda Lambert. Listen to it, and maybe created a video with this song.

Swak na swak ang lyrics.

Hehehehe, most relateable ones:

"Forget your high society, I'm soaking it in Kerosene

i read your blog post about brian and this blog. oh well. what a disappointment.

i am speaking for myself here, but i did not appreciate your jokes about how brian contracted HIV. Haven't you read brian's post about the day he discovered he had it? item # 2 of your hypotheses was offensive and insensitive enough. all the rest are just plain unfunny (was that your goal?)

man, im doubting if you're really on TEAM BRIAN. I'm not saying you should take in everything written here as fact, but it still goes that Brian was a victim.

your take on this whole thing was offensive,a bit rascist, and unneeded.

Brianluv, either you're stubborn or just plain lazy about your spelling. :)
In your "alias coon" blogpost, you wrote: "I would rather have HIV then, meet another DJ Montano.
Full blown AIDS would be better.
Better then him." The dictionary defines "then" as "soon after that." So if we substitute "soon after that" for "then" in what you wrote, it becomes: I would rather have HIV and soon after that, meet another DJ Montano. (Yiiikkeeess! Not again!) Full blown AIDS would be better. Better soon after that him. (Oooh, nooooo!)
And your blogpost title "Blood on who's hands?" - fully written out it is: Blood on who is hands? It should be "whose."
I KNOW Blogger has a spellchecker, Brianluv so please, please make use of it.
I'm just a grammar/spelling cubscout, but your blogposts give me headaches. So I assume it's giving the real grammar/spelling police out there blinding migraines. :D

hi brian! i'm edsel fr the philippines.. i hope that dj will return the money he pitifully stole from you..

i'm so sad of what had happened to you.. everything you've done for dj is all about love.. how come you did not have a slightest clue that he is a user and a fraud? is love that blind that time..

i'm only 20, but i have friends who are of the same sexuality as you are.. after i have known what has happened to you, i immediately warned them.. at this age, they are already dealing with older men and meeting up with them (foreign and local)..

i admire you of your braveness in unveiling the ill side of the socialites here in the philippines.. it's really sad that the rich are the ones savoring the richness of our country.. i really believe that our country is rich and abundant but few people just have the hand in all of it.. it's just so sad..

my country is so beautiful, i love my country, and will never choose any other country than the philippines... i just hope that the people who have been reading your blog will not judge the ENTIRE FILIPINO PEOPLE.. the GUCCI GANG doesn't represent the FILIPINO people.. most of the filipinos are striving out of poverty, but we do our best to live a decent life...

brian, i hope that you're doing fine now and slowly moving on.. i will continuously pray for your recovery... take care!

Why yes, Prince, there is! A handful of supporters are using a gazillion fake id's! "tsk..tsk!" BARF!

What a riot!

At least we are somewhat back on topic and targeting the correct scumbag. It was anyways until the latest picture was thrown out. Funny, i don't see any of DJ's family pointing a gun to Brians head in this picture. How about adding a word bubble out of the babys mouth that says "Give me 70 grand Brian or i'll kick your butt!" to help implicate them a wee bit more.

Geez, from the amount of fucktupness going on within rich and powerful families as evidenced in this blog, one can only speculate how commonplace it is among the general population. Say, do most people here have similarly sordid stories to reveal? Lets unload our dirty laundry and have a quick blog healing session.

"Heavens, no! We are perfect! Attacking other families on this blog just makes us feel much better about ourselves. Beat it Cyclecrank. Your such a loser!"

But hey, at least you guys are here supporting him. I'm sure you are getting together a crack team of thugs that will head out to Tanza and lay siege to DJ's moms compound as we speak. Keep him stuck inside. No groceries, no facials, no cheap call boys, no checking on land purchased with Brians cash until he pays up. Now THATS the kind of solution i'm talking about. LETS GET GOING!

.....Twelve hours later at Jollibee Tanza.......

"Team Brian Pasig chapter said 10pm at Jollibee. Its 6am already. Where is everyone??" WHAT THE HELL IS UP, MAN? ..... uh....um.....crap.

Brian, your research could use some touching up. Since you went into family history, might as well get the details straight. Benjie Laurel is the grandson of President Jose P. Laurel. His father was the Philippine ambassador to Japan for some time. Both Laurel elders were honorable men and served their country with integrity.Your research on the Montanos also has inconsistencies, but in general you've captured the essence. At this point most of the Blog's followers are ready to accept everything you say as the unimpeachable truth. That makes it even more important for you to verify what you post. So far, you have done pretty well. You now have the power, always use it responsibly. Ingat, Brian.

to prince couen golez:

you mentioned in one of your comments that you used to be a teacher so I guess it is safe to assume that you know the answer to your question regarding inaccessible profiles.

Blocking our profiles is our prerogative and should not be misconstrued as anything other than that.

I find it extremely tacky that you should begin questioning our choice to block access to our profiles after Brian erased 2 of your comments.

To help you better understand Brian and what he's going through, here is a quote from J.D. Salinger:

“Did you ever get fed up? I mean did you ever get scared that everything was going to go lousy unless you did something?”

Put yourself in Brian's position, why he decided to open this blog and to spill his heart out in the open. Think of what he is going through, the torment of not knowing what will happen tomorrow, and the pain of being betrayed by a loved one. then see if you won't do the same thing he is doing.

1) learn how to carry a conversation.

2) stop reading "the rats" uhhh.... I mean the "the star".... not good choice of reading material... i guess that's where you get your pick up lines..

3) stop idolizing tim yap.... okay... Tim had to beg Brian to such his cock... I know you want Brian to suck your tiny birdie... not gonna happen...lol

enji, i am very sorry if I have disappointed you. I wrote the entry not to ridicule brian or anyone who roots for him.

the entry sounds blunt (yes.), but that doesnt mean i am hating brian (which is indubitably a big NO)

I was just trying to be 'balanced'. I do not want to state on my blog that Brian's accusations are all authentic, or what. Let us as well give the other camp the benefit of the doubt.

Next time you comment on the issue, you comment on my blog. Disclose your identity so that I wont be addressing any concern to a someone whose blogspot account is inaccessible, and someone whose hiding on an alias.

If you are truly behind Brian's cause, be more transparent.. and please loosen up.

A lot of the comments here have already cleared up some inconsistencies and provided a few missing bits of information, but the fact is you've been pretty accurate in what you've stated here.

Scandalous skeletons hiding in their closets are now all coming out. You might not be able to recover your money from DJ, Brian, but I doubt if he will ever recover any true self esteem. Unless he's completely delusional to begin with, of course.

@ couen

i suggested an explanation about your question regarding profiles being unaccessible. i think brian hasnt approved it yet. i dunno.

but still. it doesn't mean that if we do not have blogs or blogger profiles that we are bots / or the same few persons

sabi nga na mapangurirat, prerogative yun. besides, tulad ko madami dyan ang walang time mag maintain ng blog at probably gamit lang ang kanilang gmail (not blogger) accounts to comment.

and huh. i commented on your post on this blog because you yourself advertised it here. i read your comment before brian wiped it off.



we all appreciate critical thinking (marami dito ang Isko rin gaya mo,ahem), and cge, pagnadisprove si brian sa kanyang mga allegations, kami ang mapapahiya dahil naniniwala kami sa kanya.


alam ko rin naman na hindi lang pang pro-brian ang comments section but still, joking about HIV in that manner? it's not about loosening up man, manhid ka lang talaga siguro but for some people, including me, sensitive yun.

kaya go ka lang prince couen. its a free country. you can continue raising suspicions, and we'll continue supporting brian.

you know Brian i'm not that very optimistic that you'll get your money back from him but it will be a miracle it it will happen. after all these dissing i doubt it. but if a door closes another door opens as they say and it's true. you should be very careful next time. trust should be earned and not just be given away like what you did even though clearly you weren't thinking right bec. of love. i know you are a good person and it showed in your interview and it's just sad that you did fall into such a very sad situation. take care of yourself first, it's not the end of the world. sometime, somehow in the future you will be better off after all these. remember though that when this comes to find it in your heart to forgive and forget. this load that you are carrying plus your health is just too much of a heartache that only Him up there can ease the pain. i hope that this is a start of a much more better and a happier life for you in the future.

I donated to you but now I feel you are just exploiting certain things like joel t that have no relevance to your "goal".you can dish out all the shit you want about the people who hurt you and are amongst the living. please respect the dead as you wish to be respected on this blog. people have shown you compassion so cant you do so with joel and just drop him from your blog? you dont even know him except for the shit that you hear from dj who you keep saying is such a liar as well as celine so stop using the info you got from them to make assumptions about joel. you are upsetting people who loved/love him. and for the person who called him an sob fuck you can go to hell POSTER:EEG.

ps LISA ROSSITER (his ex-gf) is not kawawa she is a meth addict. aka enabler as well, besides the whole time she was screwing jacques dupasquier (gross) behind joel's back. so NO PITY PARTY FOR HER, ALTHOUGH SHE PUT UP AN OSCAR WINNING PERFORMANCE AT THE FUNERAL.

I just got pissed off with the mentioning of Celine Lopez as "the PARIS HILTON OF ASIA" at the Sydney Morning Herald. There are just so many glaring differences between Celine and Paris. It's such an insult to compare Celine with her. Though they are both bitches, Celine can never become Paris even if she makes it to Hollywood (which I doubt).

First, Celine only does local advertisements. Paris does international. She even has an MTV video and a perfume named after her. Second, Paris is a genuine scion of a wealthy world-reknowned family. Her father is the owner of the classy Hilton Hotel, a chain of luxury hotels scattered around the globe. On the other hand, Celine is nothing but a trash Lopez wannabe. Celine is just the daughter of Albertito Lopez in his adulterous marriage. Albertito and Emily really do not have anything except skeletons in their closet and a bunch of dysfunctional kids. Celine's parents do not own Meralco and ABS CBN. Nakikihati lang sila sa pangalan. Definitely, Celine can never be like Paris.

With her anorexic figure, Celine can never snatch a boyfriend of a Hollywood star. Nobody would even spot you in Hollywood, Celine. No boobs. No butt. Average Asian face...and crooked teeth. You are way too UGLY compared to Paris.

I do not romanticize how Paris snorts coke. She does, sadly. However, she does it with real class unlike Celine who'll just sniff anywhere and everwhere when she could. Most importantly, Paris' friends can always afford 70,000dollars anytime. They work for it. While Celine and her friends can only afford to become dollar-faced. They always rely to other people in making the money that they splurge in Embassy.

Really Brian, it’s troubling to read about his mother and father but I believe that you have reliable sources. I admire your courage for having the balls to tell their family rubbish in your blog without fearing of being sued which is a possibility (or not?) he-he Anyway, we are still behind you 100%!!

After these brief lessons in history and politics, we go back to the Gucci Gang to learn, as what an anonymous author aptly wrote, that “children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.”

---well, I guess this is in the genes already. I think this blog doesn't hurt celine, wendy, dj, tina, chut, tim, etc..since this is a case of "they are just following in the footsteps of their corrupt parents and these parents could even be proud (secretly) of what their kids have "accomplished"...makings of ganglords, swindlers, killers?etc...bravo kids! you have now become like us! Now let us teach you more tricks of the trade. You have passed the initiation?!"

What gets to these dons and donyas is the fact that these children of theirs "got caught" and got exposed by a very charming, very credible, very nice,genuine, humble australian man who by the way is so lovable that i want to be counted in as one of his "queens." Brian, you can nowbecome a famous actor here in the philippines just learn the language LOL I will be the first to fall in line in the cinemas...;-)
Ow, i think i got lost somewhere there...let me pick myself up.har har.
Hey dj and your gang...i would really like to spray "fart spray" all over your fakilicious bods.

Anyway...

And to the bloggers here who are trying to convince brian to just shut down this blog and move on...let's wait until this very same thing happens to you and let me hear you give "words of wisdom" of yours and see you apply it to your own life...double duh!!!!

Go Team Brian!

Hi, Brian...

As days pass, I grow more concerned that DJ seems not to have shown any inclination at all of giving you back your money.

I'm also thinking what if your blog does lose steam before DJ finally understands that giving you back your money is the only decent thing to do?

Maybe you could have a "suggestion box" of some sort in your blog, that is strictly only for suggestions on what could be done on another level to help you? (aside from the donations that are helping tide you over, and filing a legal suit, which I am not in a position to comment on, not being a lawyer myself)

With a separate space for suggestions, any good idea wouldn't get buried in the regular comments.

Blogspot's interface can accommodate a space like that through settings and layout.

I would hate for all your efforts to go to naught.

Yes, this is news up to now, but as soon as the "novelty" wears off, or something more pressing distracts people... well... I don't want to think about what could happen after :(

Maybe if all of us rooting for you pool our thoughts together, one or two among us could come up with other viable and more-lasting options to help you.

Just a thought...

I wish you well, along with all you love (especially your lovely dogs, and your mom, a wonderful lady)

--- athena

p.s.
will donate as soon as I get hold of my friend who has a paypal account. that's probably gonna be on tuesday or thursday. apologies for not being able to donate much, I am an ordinary citizen :)

Reply to ferocia. RE: Albertito Lopez

"he made a scene by slapping the guy in the face with 10,000 php and walked away. what a diva!"

I am from Iloilo and at one point have associated with some of the close friends of your subject. I would like to disagree with your story, specifically, the one which says that Albertito or Tito slapped the guy with Php 10,000.00 because it is not factual. You must have heard the story from a confused story teller. You must have confused it with the story of his uncle who did the exact thing to a sales lady from a mall in Iloilo City because allegedly the sales lady was caught staring at him in an ill fashioned manner. So, this Lopez guy, slapped the face of this sales lady with his money.There's another story involving the same Lopez guy (Uncle of Celine) who for the second time, slapped another lady, this time, a lawyer. The story goes on when the lady lawyer filed a demand or a case against this Lopez guy and eventually ended when there was a settlement agreement executed between the parties.

This is how the story was told among the yuppies in Iloilo City.

About Tito Lopez,every party people in Iloilo City who belong to the intellectual crowd, would probably agree that this guy has full of insecurities. I pity him because he sorrounds himself with tall guys (probably his bodyguards or a sort of basketball team) and most of the time when he gets pissed off by another guy in a club for some reason, (probably because his candy is being robbed off by another good looking guy)
he would put his middle finger on his neck and move it like he's slashing his own neck.LOL. It is so kindergarten, I am telling you. Thereafter, he would call and whisper to one of his guys and my suspicion is, he would tell his guy to get rid of the good looking guy who is bothering his senses.The good thing is and most of the time, his bodyguards or his so called friends would just warn the guy who had been the subject of his envy.

I wonder if this guy has real friends.

A short post about yaya/maid, domestic worker, or any other name you prefer to call them. Maybe it's out of the topic but just my grain of salt here:

Yaya is called nanny (or an au pair) in english. Yaya is only for little children who can not take care of themselves. A yaya is hired by parents who can't for some reason or another look after their own children but can afford to pay someone to do this for them. Some really rich families have yayas stay with them even after their wards have already families of their own, and this speaks for how well these yayas (and their families even) have been treated by their employers.

A maid as the name implies is someone who make things in order at home, by herself, and receives a wage for doing so. Again, maids are employed for doing household chores that do not want to be done by their employer. In tagalog, "utusan", someone you command to do things around the house which you don't want to do but you can actually do, because you are a lazy person (maybe even a slob) who has the money to burn.

Yayas and maids are so third world. Nowadays, some people are using the term yaya to connote some kind of social status, like a way of social climbing too. Pleeeease, make your own juice or coffee, make your own bed. You are an adult. Don't call someone your yaya if you are an adult and she's been with you only for 3 months, or old enough to do things on your own. You sound "trying hard".

Now, helper is someone you employ to help you with household chores because manual work takes a lot of your time which you need to actually earn a living. So you hire someone to help you to make things easy for you so you can be more productive. In poorer countries with a labor surplus (like the Philippines), hiring a household help is also a humanitarian pursuit. You help someone have a better life by offering shelter, clothing and food and some money, maybe even send to school and also help the helper's family from time to time. You also treat your helpers as part of the family, and not "utusan".

In more affluent countries, majority don't need helpers because everything is automated and less time-consuming. Affluent countries also have an egalitarian society (middle-class society) so there are hardly domestic helpers. Yes, there are some who do this for a living, but normally they are stay-out and part-time professional cleaners (or from less affluent countries who went abroad to work for rich families).

I grew up in a home where we had successions of household help. Some of them we sent to study and are now professionals themselves. But some are not ambitious enough to make better lives for themselves, there was nothing we could do about that. Growing up, my mom's rule was to make our own bed, get our own water, etc. etc. We were trained to wash and iron our own clothers, cook, wash dishes, everything. So we all help each other, including the "helper".

This yaya/maid thing is a mentality that we never got out of our colonial past. Sometimes, it's not just us in the 3rd world. I remember an Australian roommate who went to Brazil as an exchange student for a year. She stayed with an affluent family there who had hired maids. She kept talking about "our maids". I was very surprised to hear her talking like that, being an Australian I expected more from her. But she was only 19 years old then. She's now a pharmacist in England and when she remembers this episode in her young life, she feels embarrassed.

It's now a global community, we now have URL addresses. Let's stop this yaya/maid mentality. If we have helpers at home, let's be kinder and help them become something more. And let's not make comments like, "she looks like my yaya, my maid, etc. etc. Let's give them the respect they deserve.

hmmm, i really think am off topic, but that's my point.

Brian, dear hope you are okay today.

Hoy DJ, magbayad ka na.

Anya Says :
April 6, 2008 11:12 AM

Dear Roma,

I believe that was off-topic... but very well-said. We too have had a succession of household help from my mother's province; and although we did not exactly treat them as one of the family, we were raised believing that terms like "mukhang katulong" (looks like a helper) and "atsay" were an unncessary insult. We actually had pretty househelp most of the time! Some of our former helpers have done well, too. In fact one of my former yayas now owns a chain of canteens, while another former helper owns a gas station. I am sure they treat their own househelp well.

Sigh. Hoping that this third-world mentality of ours will cease. And to hear horror stories of Em*ly Reluc*o-L@pez castigating and physically abusing her househelp?! Que horror. Refined and genteel (CREAM de la creme ey!) on the outside but... you know the rest.

here's my take on this story:

[The funny thing about Benjie Laurel is that his
cousin, Cholo Laurel (a movie director), was DJ's
former boyfriend (they lived together for a few
years). Cholo (who is at least 10-15 years older
than DJ), dumped DJ when he caught DJ fucking another
guy in their very own bed]


Well, cholo should have been forewarned because he started a 'romantic relationship' with DJ when DJ was still with his college sweetheart in la salle.

The Golden Rule....

Having a senator in generations past is no big deal. Lots of people have the same setup.

The only time anybody even discovered he (and the family) existed was due to the infamy in the blog.

Being a "montano" in the philippines is like having the name "Abbadabababa"- nobody recognizes it, and it meant nothing. Until he made it mean $70,000 thief.

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.

The rise and fall of former Congressman and Senator Justianiano Montano (DJ’s grandfather) is a story of political murders, warlordism, criminal activities, corruption and his “skillful exploitation and manipulation of the law.” Sidel described Montano as “a fearsome pugilist and an aggressive interloper who depended for his success not only on bluster, bravado and bullying but on the persistent threat and use of violence.” Montano, according to the author, made headlines by brawling with his rivals on the stairs of Cavite ’s Capitol Building and whipping out his .45 caliber revolver before fellow congressmen on the floor of the House of Representatives. To perpetuate himself in power, Montano endeared himself with political patrons in Manila , installed his sons in positions of political and economic prominence, and delegated powers to his municipal wards. He was alleged to have enlisted the services Cavite ’s most famous criminal, Leonardo Manecio alias Nardong Putik (remember the Ramon Revilla movie?) as his political assassin. Among the quotable quotes attributed to Montano include “I HAVE NO TACT!” and “I’ll KILL YOU, DAMN YOU!” Montano also managed to have his sons Delfin elected as governor of Cavite and Justiniano Jr. appointed as chair of the Games and Amusement Board (who was later implicated in match rigging, race fixing, toleration of illegal betting and the management of boxers through dummies for his personal profit). His other son, Ciriaco, was tasked to manage the family’s expanding real estate and construction investments, cornering juicy infrastructure contracts.

But the rise of Ferdinand Marcos signaled the downfall of Montano, who was an ally of Diosdado Macapagal, the late dictator’s political nemesis. Montano himself got the ire of Marcos when the Cavite kingpin was tagged as mastermind in the smuggling of blue-seal cigarettes, thus threatening the Ilocos-based tobacco industry, the lifeblood of politicians in the north. When Marcos became president, he engineered the ouster of Montano from political power, which eventually led to his self-exile in the United States when Martial Law was declared. After the 1986 EDSA Revolution, Montano already found himself old, and his former grip of Cavite now in the hands of the Remullas, a Marcos crony who had switched to the camp of Cory Aquino shortly after the people power revolt.
