Lucio Tan, the Philanthropy Charlatan with No Heart for His Dead Passengers

After receiving a barrage of criticisms from politicians and media men for the sinking of its MV Princess of the Stars passenger vessel, Sulpicio Lines now offers P200 thousand for each of the perished victim. Why should this be brought to mind relative to Lucio Tan, the Yellow Economic Lucifer in the Filipino land (copied from CenturioParko)? When his Air Philippines flight 541 crashed in Samal Island in April 19, 2000, seen burning in the sky by eye-witnesses, no politician or media man ever made such a cry. As reported by PDI in March 19, 2008, bannered “$165M for crash victims,” this crooked Chinaman in the Filipino land offered the families of each of the 124 dead passengers only about $20 thousand. No politician or media man made a howl of protest considering that Tan, with his tax cheated and Marcos wealth coveted fortune, is the country’s richest man, and considering that he advertises his being a philanthropy charlatan. With these considerations, should Sulpicio Lines deserve a shout of praise from the same for its settlement offer to its dead passengers’ families?It is not attempted here to extricate Sulpicio Lines from its responsibility on the death of its passengers. It is to point out that the politicians and media-men we have are selective in their attacks, for political and journalism mileage respectively. Whenever an event would give bad image to Tan, the mouths of grandstanding of politicians are none, and so with media-men, suggesting them all to be parasitic to Tan.

Going back to the said crashed plane of Tan, “President Erap’s appointed commission to investigate the matter blamed the crash on pilot error and found no evidence of mechanical failure. But lawyers for the families said no one will ever know what caused the crash because the parts of the mangled plane were dumped in a pit and buried in concrete before they could be examined by independent experts.” The insurers in the US settled with $165M for the families of 100 victims that pursued justice. It meant that the air plane was defective, not as what Erap’s appointed investigators declared. That was so because Erap then was dangling on this Yellow Economic Lucifer’s strings. Bring this up to Erap now and surely he would admit having been dictated by this Yellow Economic Lucifer. Erap, knowing how he was immediately betrayed by Tan when the EDSA II mob was building up, even admitted in public that his campaign fund when he ran for president was provided by Tan, with a chain attached that when he would become president, his P26B tax rap should be made to die before reaching the High Tribunal.

So, politicians and media-men in our Inang Bayan, you are letting yourselves known to have been “Tan-ned!” You are all dung!
