Little Miss Taray

Our eye-spies were in a funny mood lately when they submitted this report: Last week, Little Miss Luli Taray, sat through a Calvin Klein Watch launch, eating her curds and soda pop. Along came a photographer, who tried to take her picture, but got frightened when Little Miss Taray blew her top. "No! I’m eating!" Guests were stunned! But then again they thought to themselves, well, what do you expect from the daughter of Little Mrs. Tough-et!
Security Risk
What is the name of this so-called MIAA subsidiary whose supposed president, after being allegedly convicted of graft and corruption last July by the Pasay City Regional Trial Court and given a four-year sentence, still continues to serve as one of the top dogs of the company? According to our ear-spy sources, this subsidiary’s "plan of action" is to take over all contracted services of MIAA, including the most sought after money-making racket of all – the contract for security agency services. Sources confirmed that one of the top bow-wows of MIAA sits also as chairman of this subsidiary company. No doubt, strings are being pulled by some diamond-studded ring fingers, and if this is not checked, some government worker who’s sick and tired of the low pay could end up being a millionaire soon – thanks to the very "democratic" idea of monopolies.
‘Greedy Greggy’
With all the rancor being thrown on the Marcoses concerning their so-called "Marcos Loot," it has become difficult to see that even from within, there lurks a "Greedy Greggy." According to our ear-spies, the remaining Marcoses are trying to make sense of (and perhaps some gains from) the loot before it’s hoarded off by the government. However, this guy is moving heaven and earth (and most likely, secret bank accounts) trying to get his greasy hands on his self-declared "share" of the loot. Looting the country is one thing, but looting from the alleged looters? Talk about greed!
Unaccustomed To Corruption
An email sender who allegedly works at the Bureau of Customs, and who readily admitted that he "is part of the corruption, " wrote that the lifestyle checks on three officials of the agency are uncalled for because they are just "fall guys of a certain mafia ring" assigned to cover up the real culprits. It is a sign of personal penance that the email sender is revealing all these, the person wrote, and he is now asking and begging the media to conduct its own lifestyle check of Custom’s officials. "The Customs is as dirty as hell, and the dirt starts from the leadership!" One hot example of corruption in the Bureau of Customs, the person wrote, is the retaining of a very high security official despite being "dismissed" from service last Sept. 17, 2002 because of allegedly faking his credentials. "Check out the lives of the leaders and collectors, especially of MICP, Subic and the rest of the ports. A certain leader is running for office and is making money for his campaign funds." The email ends there.
One More Time
Have you heard? Hollywood is doing a local sequel to the hit comedy movie Dumb and Dumber. The new comic flick will be based on the lives of Jose Velarde and Jose Pidal. According to a "La Sallite" ear-spy, the Ateneo Alumni Association will sponsor the premiere showing of the film.
