[Summary] =>
The late Arturo Rocha had a very extravagant lifestyle. He traveled extensively, stayed in five-star hotels, and gave very lavish parties in his 5,000-square meter home in South Forbes. He had very expensive taste in cars and he bought a lot of priceless paintings from masters like Fernando Amorsolo, Luna, Hidalgo and others. With his kind of lifestyle, people naturally perceived Arturo to be a very wealthy man. When he died of blood poisoning in Ireland in 2003 however, this opened a can of worms.

[Summary] => Cost-cutting techniques vary from one company to another, depending on who’s running it. As far as multi-tasking is concerned, AMA, it seems, is making headway among its competitors. It was reported by our ear-spies that the company is streamlining its workforce by making full use of the lean-and-mean concept. Management is cutting the company’s administrative cost so that a Property Custodian also works as part-time Librarian, HR officer as Registrar, and IT officer as Property Custodian.

[Summary] => According to our Washington ear-spies, the US National Security Council is re-assessing whether POTUS (code word for the President of the United States) should continue with his trip to the Philippines in October or not, in view of the recent escape of Jemaah Islamayah bomber Al-Ghozi. CIA and FBI operatives on the ground are in fact evaluating whether the escape of Al-Ghozi would have serious implications on the personal security of POTUS.
