Preskong Kalambuan, Di Bajao

2010-04-23T19:47:00.000-07:00

Nagpa-interview intawn si Luis Jore, ang amahan sa biktima sa pagpatay nga si Lalaine Jore, sa mga sakop sa media sa miagi pang semana apan sa Sunstar lang gyud intawon niguwa. Makaduda nganong daghan ang naka-interview apan usa lang gyud ang nakapatik niini.

Sigi na lang kay kaalyado man ni Nenette ug Nonoy Reluya si Kongresista Eddie Gullas nga dunay dakong impluwensya sa media. Dako sab ang posibilidad nga gigamit ni Nonoy Reluya ang iyang mga amigo nga naa sa Customs ug kining mga taga Zamboanga.

Presko nga kalambuan karon ang pagpadayon ni Luis Jore sa kaso ug ang iyang pagpakita sa mga litrato nilang Nonoy ug Lalaine.

Atong gipaabot karon nga makakuha niining dugang pang mga litrato kanilang Nonoy ug Lalaine, dihang buhi pa kini ug loving pa sila kaayo, aron lang pagbuko sa iyang gisulti nga wa gyud siya makaila sa mga Jore.

Nonoy's Resbak is "Ahat"

2010-04-03T20:20:00.000-07:00

Nonoy Reluya is a clever man. The strength of the complaint against him as alleged mastermind of the killing of his mistress, Lalaine Jore, was the affidavit of the victim's father Luis Jore.

Because he cannot dispute Luis Jore's affidavit, Reluya is now using a certain Roland Bajao, who came forward as an additional witness, to thwart the allegation against him. The husband of San Fernando mayor Nenette Reluya is saying Bajao could prove that the whole case was politically motivated.

This came out in today's Sun*Star written by a certain GC on page 6.

After presenting himself as witness in favor of Luis Jore, this person named Roland Bajao is now singing a different tune. He is saying former mayor Antonio Canoy paid him P30,000 to link Reluya to the killing of Lalaine.

Ang problema kay wa moingon si Bajao nga sayop ang alegasyon sa amahan ni Lalaine Jore. Igo lang siya nga nitumaw aron mapahirag politika ang kaso nga gisang-at ni Luis Jore batok ni Reluya.

Kung atong tukion ang kaso, ang alegasyon sa amahan batok sa mastermind sa pagpatay sa iyang anak mao ang labing importante nga naglambigit kang Noynoy Reluya. Walay bearing ang pag-apil ni Bajao. Kahibulongan gani nga niapil kini siya og kalit nga ang katuyuan mao lang diay ang pagsabotahe sa kaso.

Kung moingon si Bajao nga gibayran siya nga mopahid sa kaso kang Nonoy Reluya, unsa may kasiguruhan nga binayran sab siya nga mobalitok? Mao nga makaingon kita nga brayt gyud kini si Nonoy Reluya. Nakakita dayon og paagi nga masabotahe ang kaso.

Ang bottomline sa kaso mao kini. Gipasanginlan ni Luis Jore, ang amahan sa biktima nga si Lalaine, ang bana sa mayor sa San Fernando nga maoy mastermind sa pagpatay. Way labot ang politika sa maong pasangil. Kini si Bajao ug si Reluya lang ang niingon nga dunay politika.

Klaro nga ang katoohan kanila mao ang amahan nga si Luis ug di kining niangkon nga binayran nga si Bajao ug ang dunay interes nga masurambaw ang kaso nga si Nonoy Reluya.

Ahat ang resbak ni Nonoy Reluya.

Thank you Sun.Star for this scoop!

Husband of town mayor tagged in murder case

Sun*Star Cebu (March 24, 2010)

CEBU CITY -- The father of a slain businesswoman has accused the husband of San Fernando Mayor Lakam-bini Reluya as the mastermind in the killing of his daughter last year.
Luis Jore, in his affidavit submitted to Cebu City Prosecutor’s Office dated March 8, alleged that Ricardo Reluya, Mayor Reluya’s husband, “masterminded” the shooting to death of his daughter, Lalaine, last February 17, 2009.

The killing was “motivated by jealousy and business interest,” according to Jore’s affidavit suing Ricardo for murder.
But the Reluyas dismissed the complaint as “politically-motivated.”
Mayor Reluya told Sun.Star Cebu in a phone interview Tuesday night that they were not aware of the complaint.
“We will answer (the charge) as soon as we receive a summon. I am sure it’s politically motivated,” the mayor said.
The mayor also questioned the timing of the filing of the complaint, which was lodged at the City Prosecutor’s Office barely two months before the May elections.
Like his wife, Ricardo also said he has yet to receive a copy of the complaint. He said they will answer it once they receive summons from the court, adding that he was not “really familiar” with the complainant.
Lalaine, 32, who owns Gorordo Convenience Store and Internet cafe on Gorordo Ave. in Barangay Camputhaw, this city, sustained multiple gunshot wounds, in the right side of her chest, armpit, face and arm.
She was taken to the nearby Perpetual Succour Hospital after the shooting.
The police have filed murder and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunitions complaints against retired Philippine Army Sergeant Filomeno Amistad for the killing of the businesswoman.
A separate complaint for violating Republic Act 8294 was also filed against Amistad after an unlicensed 9mm pistol with seven bullets was seized from him upon his arrest near his house in Barangay Poblacion III, Carcar City recently.
In his affidavit, Jore said Lalaine was in the brokerage business for several years when she was introduced to Ricardo, who was then an examiner of the Bureau of Customs-Port of Cebu. The two then had an affair, he said.
Later, he said Ricardo put up an office for his brokerage business and used it to “manipulate the business/brokerage business” of Lalaine.
When his daughter was shot, Jore said his other daughter, Louella, called up Ricardo but he replied “Unsaon man na nako? Naa ko sa Dipolog (What can I do with that? I’m in Dipolog).”
Jore said it made them curious because Ricardo frequently asked questions about people visiting the wake of Lalaine. He claimed that Louella even received death threats from Ricardo.
Since September 2008, Jore said that Lalaine had wanted to end her relationship with Ricardo because she wanted to renew her life but the suspect reportedly refused to let go.
Jore said there were instances when Lalaine called up her sister to accompany her because she feared that Ricardo would harm her.
Jore said that Ricardo used to carry high-powered firearms when going in and out of their residence and had appeared to have wanted “to silence us.”
After the death of Lalaine, Jore said Ricardo did not show any concern towards his slain daughter.
“Without Ricardo (Reluya), my daughter would not have been killed as she had no other enemy except Reluya,” said Jore.
Jore said that Amistad was actually a “protégé” of Ricardo. Two witnesses also executed separate affidavits corroborating the allegations of Jore. (GMD/Sun.Star Cebu)

Nonoy masterminded killing of mistress says victim's pa, witness

2010-03-18T17:23:00.000-07:00

I just learned about this now. A witness has come out into the open linking Nonoy Reluya to the killing of Lalaine Jore. Lalaine's father has also filed an affidavit to this effect. The information had reached the fiscal's office more than a week already. Question: why has the Cebu media particularly the justice beat ignored this important development for justice? It is a reporter's SOP to check on new cases and developments of old sensational cases. The filing of information against the husband of a mayor for the killing of his mistress is very news worthy. Why has it not come out in the papers? Nonoy's magic?

Dangerous Nonoy

2010-03-18T17:16:00.000-07:00

Nonoy Reluya and his private army. Should San Fernandohanons allow political violence to reign? However, countering Reluya's army with counter-violence only creates a spiral and we will all lose. Let us oppose this the peaceful way.

Who is the mastermind in the Jore killing? An Update

2010-03-09T14:25:00.000-08:00

The whole truth is reportedly coming out into the open. The family of the late Lalaine Jore has pieced together significant parts of the dark and tragic puzzle.

During their happy times, Nonoy Reluya relied on Lalaine Jore, who is also a customs broker, to handle his smuggling shipments of expensive hot cars, chop-chop vehicles, and rice from Vietnam and Thailand. Lalaine was his smuggling conduit. To escape lifestyle check investigations, he also used businesses under her name to launder smuggling money and cover for expensive properties.

However, when the relationship went sour and Lalaine decided to finally leave him, Nonoy exploded in anger.

According to police investigators, crime committed under the heat of passionate anger could only result in sloppy execution. This was the reason the killer, Filomino Amistad failed to note that the convenience store where she killed Lalaine had a camera that was not hidden at all. Nonoy Reluya, in ordering the kill, forgot the camera.

Amistad still remains a loyal follower until now.

Nonoy has also taken cared of this aside from ensuring police silence of his involvement and keeping the whole Cebu media establishment through his Customs connections and the Zamboanga group he helped form where a prominent member is a top-rating television host, broadcaster and columnist.

It is just very unfortunate for Nonoy that he cannot silence everybody forever. The family is already poised to reveal everything they know in court.

Calling on all members of the Cebu media, better check out the Lalaine Jore slay case at the Palace of Justice. That is if you are not also in Nonoy's take.

Jore case update

2010-02-18T14:40:00.000-08:00

The Lalaine Jore case is now up for resolution at the sala of Judge Yrastuza. The latest hearing was last February 17, 2010. I am wondering why the Cebu media had not been covering the case. The case had all the elements of being sensational news. Yet the media had ignored it. Had the mastermind succeeded in getting into the media too?

Let's hope members of media visiting this blog shall update us on the latest of the Lalaine Jore murder hearing this February 17, 2010 at Judge Yrastuza's sala.

Happy Moment ni Nonoy ug Lalaine

2010-02-12T21:10:00.000-08:00

Look closely how happy Nonoy Reluya was while coddling his child with Lalaine. What could have happened that led to Lalaine's violent death at the hands of Felomino Amistad who is Nonoy and Neneth's bodyguard? Does Mayor Neneth know about this relationship?

Who is the mastermind of the Jore slay? Nonoy or Nineth?

2009-03-02T15:37:00.000-08:00

Two gunmen pumped caliber .45 bullets into businesswoman Lalaine Jore, 34, inside her Gorordo Convenience Store and Internet Cafe along Gorordo Avenue in Barangay Camputhaw last February 17, 2009. She later died at the hospital due to multiple gunshot wounds.

Several witnesses saw the suspects. The police also identified one gunman from the security camera inside the convenience store.

Follow up operations later led to the arrest of former Army Scout Ranger Filomino Amistad.

Who is Amistad?

The police now know that Amistad is a bodyguard of elected San Fernando Mayor Nineth Reluya and de facto mayor Nonoy Reluya. He was first seen with the Reluyas during the campaign in the 2007 local elections.

Why did he kill Jore?

According to the police based on news reports, Amistad is a hired killer.

But who hired him and what could possibly be the motive?

So far, Amistad has remained mum. The fact about the illicit relationship between Lalaine Jore and Nonoy Reluya is however coming out into the open. They even have a two year old child.

Is this not a case therefore of a tragic love triangle? Did Nineth order the killing of Jore after she discovered the illicit relationship and the belief that Nonoy gave Lalaine capital to start a successful business? Or did the relationship between Nonoy and Lalaine went sour to the point that she had to go just to keep the whole thing under wraps?

Whatever is the truth, only Amistad, his still free companion, Nonoy, and Nineth only know the answer.

And the big question is: who is the mastermind of the killing of Lalaine? Nonoy or Nineth?

Naa lang koy pangutana sa mga supporter ni Mayor Reluya, asa na man ang itemized nga listahan sa mga gisulod sa van? Ato ning itandi sa gidam-ok sa Sangat. You could praise the mayor all you want but more effective if you can show that all that was donated is accounted for.

This is still the Taga San Fernando blog of San Fernando town in Cebu, Philippines. The earlier one, being a free service, had already reached its limits so we could not anymore view the pictures. I did not expect the volume of response to the blog.

I'm posting the pics here again along with future posts. This shows the anomaly in the turnover of donated computers to Sangat National High School.

I will also starting moderating the comments. Yes, both pro and anti-Reluya comments are welcome. But please refrain from insults and other objectionable comments. Let us stick to the subject at hand.

Maulaw sab ta sa mga sakop sa Cebu media and others who will be viewing the following pictures:
