MANILA, Philippines—Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo admitted she decided to run based on “gut feel” but rest assured, she knows her advocacies clearly and so are the measures she will propose once she get elected into office, she told in a radio interview Saturday morning.
“They gave me only two hours to decide,” she said, referring to her constituents who went to her house in Naga City on Friday to convince her to run for the 3rdcongressional district of Camarines Sur.
Robredo also admitted she never considered even running for the local elections and as a grieving widow, she explained her involvement with politics went as far as accepting the leadership of the Liberal Party in the province.
“It was meant to continue what my husband left,” she said. When her husband, former interior and local government secretary Jesse Robredo, died she said she has set her mind on living a quiet, private life.
Then again, when she thought of Jesse and what he would have done if he were in her position, she said he won’t refuse the call of the people to serve them.
That’s why, she emphasized, despite the abrupt decision, there’s no chance for her to back-out. “That would be unfair to the people. I accepted to run, I gave them hope, so there’s no turning back.”
Asked if she fears facing powerful political opponents and the dirty tactics that come with the job, she said the only fear she has is not spending quality time with her three daughters. “They lost a father and I don’t want to be an absentee mother to them because of the requirements of the job.”
Then again, she said if she’s going to win, that would mean spending more time in Metro Manila than Naga City. She said it’s timely because all of her children will have to be based in Manila in June next year for their studies.
As for her advocacies, she said as a lawyer, she belongs to a group where the focus is the welfare of the youth, the peasants, laborers, fishermen and the plight of women.
“There are a lot of laws that need to be revised because they are not fit to the times anymore. There are gaps in terms of people participation. There are so many causes that need to be enacted into laws,” she said.
She said she admits she might be seen as a “fence-sitter” at the onset of her term.
“That’s why I’ll work hard to push for my advocacies and those left by my husband,” she said.

VATICAN CITY — He had the trust of Pope Benedict XVI and the cardinals, monsignors and priests who run the Roman Catholic Church. And because of his privileged position as papal butler, he had access to their deepest secrets: confidential letters, memos, financial reports.
From under Benedict’s nose, Paolo Gabriele used the photocopier in the small office he shared with the two papal secretaries that adjoined the pope’s library, studio and chapel — and, he says, started copying them all.
At first he kept the documents to himself. Then he found a journalist he trusted, and the intrigues and injustices he saw around him spread around the world in the gravest Vatican security breach of modern times.
A three-judge Vatican tribunal on Saturday will decide whether Gabriele is guilty of aggravated theft, accused of stealing the pope’s private papers and leaking them to journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi, whose book “His Holiness: Pope Benedict XVI’s secret papers” became an immediate blockbuster when it was published in May. Gabriele has pleaded innocent, claiming he never took original documents, though he said he was guilty of “having betrayed the trust of the Holy Father, whom I love as a son would.”
From court documents, trial testimony and the book itself, the anatomy of the scandal has taken shape: They describe how a 46-year-old father of three, said by court-ordered psychiatrists to be unstable, desperate for attention and with illusions of grandeur, came to consider himself inspired by the Holy Spirit to expose the Vatican’s dirty laundry for the sake of saving the church. They demonstrate how he instigated a Hollywood-like plot to sneak the documents out of the Apostolic Palace under the cover of darkness to a waiting journalist outside the Vatican walls, who then exposed them on TV and in the most talked-about book of 2012.
Gabriele himself told the court this week that he became increasingly “scandalized” when, as he would serve Benedict his lunch, the pope would ask questions about issues he should have been informed about. That suggested to Gabriele that the pope was being intentionally kept in the dark by his advisers.
“I had a unique and privileged occasion to mature the conviction that it’s easy to manipulate someone with decision-making power,” Gabriele said of the pope. “With the help of others like Nuzzi, I thought I could help things be seen more clearly,” he told prosecutors in a July 21 interrogation.
Gabriele told Nuzzi that he started copying documents sporadically soon after Benedict became pope in 2005, and then in earnest in 2010 and 2011, when the No. 2 Vatican administrator began complaining about a smear campaign launched against him for having uncovered corruption and waste in running the Vatican City state.
In his testimony, Gabriele almost boasted that he would copy the letters in broad daylight, during his 7 a.m.-2:30 p.m. shift, while Monsignor Georg Gaenswein and the other papal secretary, Monsignor Alfred Xuereb, were at their desks facing his. He was free to sort through the mail that would come in daily to the office inboxes, even documentation that was on Gaenswein’s desk.
“The photocopier was in the corner, on the opposite side of the office,” Gabriele told the court as his lawyer handed out a floor-plan of the shared space. “I did it while I was in the office, since I was free to move around and didn’t have any wicked aims. I did it calmly, even in the presence of others.”
At the same time, Gabriele would also discuss Vatican problems with any number of trusted acquaintances he would run into on his walk home from the palace. On foot, the walk should take three to four minutes, he said, but sometimes he didn’t get home until 4 p.m. because he would be stopped by so many highly-placed people who wanted to speak to him.
He named names, including cardinals and monsignors. But in his testimony this week, Gabriele insisted he had no accomplices, recanting statements to prosecutors that his plot had been “suggested” to him by others.
Once home in the Vatican City apartment he shared with his wife and three children, Gabriele would file the papers away, “hidden” — police would later say — in between hundreds of thousands of pages of Internet research on Freemasonry, secret service units, Christianity, Buddhism and yoga. He filled a floor-to-ceiling armoire with the documentation in the study near his children’s’ PlayStation. A dining room cabinet held the rest.
“‘See how much I like to read and study,'” Vatican police officer Stefano De Santis quoted Gabriele as telling the four officers who searched his home May 23, the day Gabriele was taken into police custody.
In all, it took 82 moving boxes to cart out all the documents they found, though police said only about 1,000 pages were pertinent to the investigation. Police and Gaenswein have said that — contrary to the butler’s claims — they also contained original documents, obvious because of the seals, stamps and internal processing codes used in the Vatican.
Some bore the pope’s own handwriting, including with the word “destroy” written at the top in German, police told the court.
It was Gaenswein who found the “gotcha” documents that pointed him to the culprit: three letters reproduced in Nuzzi’s book that he said had never left his office.
Other documents had come from other Vatican congregations, so they could have been leaked at any point along the internal mail chain. These three, though, were addressed to Gaenswein: one from Italian TV host Bruno Vespa with a check for €10,000 and a request for a private papal audience; another from a Milan banker also containing a check; and an email from the Vatican spokesman that Gaenswein had printed out.
“These three didn’t leave the room,” Gaenswein testified. “This was the moment I started to have doubts.”
He convened a meeting of the tiny papal family on May 21, a day after Nuzzi’s book came out: Gabriele, Xuereb, the four consecrated women who tend to the papal household, and Birgit Wansing, who transcribes the pope’s tiny handwriting. Cristina Cernetti, one of the women, testified she knew it was Gabriele because she could “exclude everyone else” in the papal family.
Gabriele denied he was the leaker that day. Two days later, Gaenswein again convened the papal family to tell Gabriele he was suspended. A few hours later, he was in a Vatican jail cell.
Gabriele has denied to prosecutors taking any originals, insisting he only made copies. And he has denied having ever seen a nugget believed to be gold and a check for $100,000 made out to the pope that police said were found in his apartment. In their testimony, police were unable to say where exactly in his study they found the items.
Nuzzi has all but confirmed Gabriele was his main source, sending him a good luck tweet at the start of the trial and telling The Associated Press on the eve of the first hearing that he hoped the testimony would “unveil the motives and convictions that compelled Paolo Gabriele to bring to light documents and events described in the book.”
The handoff of documents from Gabriele to Nuzzi was something out of Hollywood.
Nuzzi wrote that he first met with his source, code-named Maria in the book, in January 2012. The first meeting was a test of whether Nuzzi could be trusted. Another meeting began with a long drive around Rome to ensure they weren’t being followed. Finally, there was a nighttime encounter in an unfurnished apartment, with a single chair in the living room where his source was sitting — in which “Maria” began spilling secrets.
In all, he said, the security precautions were more excessive than those used by Mafia turncoats he has interviewed. In one meeting, Maria turned up empty handed. Nuzzi recounted that his source then took off his jacket and turned around: There were 13 pages taped to his back.
Gabriele made copies of the documentation he gave to Nuzzi and gave them, in a box with the papal seal on it, to his confessor between February and March, court records show. The priest, identified by Gabriele only as Padre Giovanni, told prosecutors he burned the documentation soon after, knowing that it had been acquired illicitly.
Gabriele said he had made the copies because he knew he would eventually have to pay for what he had done, and wanted first to absolve himself spiritually.
“When the situation degenerated, I soon realized that I would need to face justice in some way,” Gabriele testified.
Gabriele faces four years in prison if convicted, though a papal pardon is widely expected.
The next step plays out Saturday. (AP)

THE global movement for digital freedom “Access” has launched a worldwide petition to “Stop Cyber Martial Law” in the Philippines.
“With broad and unjust cybercrime laws being enacted around the world, we need to fight them one by one. That’s why it’s critical that the international community stands together on Black Tuesday,” the petition stated.
Access is an international non-government organization that promotes open access to the Internet as a means to free, full and safe participation in society and the realization of human rights. It has been in the forefront of the international action against SOPA and PIPA.
In an email sent to millions of Access members worldwide, the organization pointed out: “This defiant and democratic spirit has been seen before. Over 25 years ago, Filipinos fought and won to overcome martial law and institute a democratic government. But what makes this law’s passage curious is that President Aquino is the son of Corazon Aquino, former President and leader of the opposition party that restored democracy in the Philippines in 1986. So many Filipinos are left wondering why the son of the leader who fought for their rights is allowing free speech to be taken away.”
The artist collective Dakila, a core member of the Philippine Internet Freedom Alliance, has been working with Access to bring to the attention of the international community the fight against cyber martial law in the Philippines.
Ayeen Karunungan of Dakila said, “It is really saddening that the cybercrime law has actually done what SOPA and PIPA have failed to do. In fact, it turned out far worse than the two. While we all want to be protected from cybercrimes such as cyberbullying, the Cybercrime Prevention Act does not answer the problems we are facing but merely curtails our freedom of expression and sends a chilling effect on Filipinos. And all of this is happening as we commemorate the 40th year since the declaration of Martial Law in our country.”
In the Twitter world, people from all over the world have been retweeting: “This tweet’s safe, but 1 bad RT=12 yrs in jail under new Filipino #CyberCrimeLaw” to gain support for the petition.
On Tuesday, the Philippine Internet Freedom Alliance is set to hold another Black Tuesday to protest the law as they wait for the Supreme Court en banc’s decision for the temporary restraining order.
Access has called on the international community and netizens all over the world to stand together on Black Tuesday. (PR)

MANILA — Tropical storm “Marce” has slightly weakened as it moves away from the country towards Vietnam, according to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
“Marce” took a “U-turn” Thursday moving westward.
Weather forecaster Lenny Ruiz said tropical storm Marce was moving 85 kilometers per hour (kph) on Thursday morning. The storm’s maximum sustained winds further declined to 75 kph in Friday morning while its gustiness also fell from 100 kph to 90 kph.
As of 4:00 a.m. Friday, Marce was located at 280 km west of Subic, Zambales (14.5°N, 117.4°E) as it continues to slowly move in a westward direction.
Ruiz said Marce maintained its slow movement, prolonging its stay in the country as the storm is now expected to leave the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Saturday afternoon or Sunday, instead of the earlier forecast of Friday.
He added that storm warning signal number 1 hoisted over Zambales and Bataan is now lifted.
Ruiz said the storm is not expected to make a landfall in any part of the country but will continue to enhance the southwest monsoon while it stays inside the PAR.
It is expected to bring light to heavy rains in many parts of the Luzon and Visayas, particularly in its western sections.
Metro Manila, on the other hand, Ruiz noted, will have passing light to moderate rains “due to the effects of the active southwest monsoon or localized thunderstorms.”
Pagasa said that those areas within the 500-km diameter of the tropical storm are expected to experience 10 to 25 mm per hour, which is classified as “heavy to intense.”
Fishing boats and other small seacrafts are advised not to venture out into the western seaboard of Luzon and Visayas due to big waves generated by Tropical Storm “Marce”.
In its advisory, Pagasa said Mimaropa (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan), Visayas and Zamboanga Peninsula will be cloudy with occasional moderate to heavy rains and thunderstorms. Metro Manila and the rest of Mindanao will have occasional light to moderate rains or thunderstorms. The rest of Luzon will be partly cloudy with brief rainshowers or thunderstorms.
Moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast to east will prevail over the Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley and Ilocos Region and coming from the southwest to south over the rest of Luzon and Western Visayas.
The coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough.
Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the southwest to west with slight to moderate seas.
The weather agency also issued gale warning as strong to gale force wind and will affect the western seaboard of Luzon and Visayas.
Fishing boats and other small seacrafts are advised not to venture out into the sea while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves. (PNA)

MANILA, Philippines – Six suspected hijackers were killed in a shootout with policemen in Dasmariñas, Cavite early Friday.
Police reports said they spotted the four alleged hijackers – three on board a Mitsubishi Adventure and one driving an Isuzu van filled with sandwich spread in Barangay San Agustin 3.
According to Cavite provincial director John Bulalacao that they have been eyeing the group because of the series of hijacking incidents of the delivery trucks in Cavite.
The authorities tried to flag down the group but the group fired shots.
Four suspects were eventually killed after the said chase.
Police said two of the suspects were identified as Jonjie Lianco and Robert Santos – both wearing in police uniforms.
The police director said he will still have to verify if the two slain suspects were policemen.
However, Bulalacao noted that the IDs of the two suspects seemed to be original and their guns bore the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) seal.
Meanwhile, in a follow-up police operation, authorities located a warehouse in Mahogany Street, Langkaan 2, Dasmariñas, Cavite, where two alleged hijackers were killed.
Police found, in the said warehouse, boxes of sandwich spread.
Bulalacao also suspects that the third suspect, who has yet to be identified, was also a policeman after a gun with a PNP seal was recovered from him.
The fourth suspect was identified as Jesse Gonzales Villanueva.
Bulalacao suspects the six slain suspects belong to a single group.
Cavite police added that there have been four incidents of hijacking in the province in the past two months where some P3 million worth of goods were stolen. (sunnex)

The discovery of a tomb that experts believe might be that of a great Maya queen could redefine the understanding of women’s political roles during the Classic Maya period, experts said Thursday.
A team of U.S. and Guatemalan experts led by anthropologist David Freidel found a stone jar at a burial chamber in northern Guatemala that led them to believe it is the burial site of Lady K’abel, considered the military governor of an ancient Maya city during the 7th century.
“Lady K’abel was buried 11 meters down from the surface in a temple near a stairway,” Freidel said. “K’abel was not a regular person. To put her in that location means that it was important; it means that people continued to worship her after the fall of the dynasty.”
The team working in the royal Maya city of El Peru-Waka also found other evidence, such as ceramic vessels, jade jewelry, thousands of obsidian blades and a large stone with carvings referring to Lady K’abel.
The alabaster jar showed the head and arm of an aged woman emerging from the opening and glyphs pointing to the name of the queen, Guatemala’s cultural ministry said in a statement Thursday.
“The royal tomb shows that women have been leaders in the past and we must now assume and exercise political participation to strengthen the role of women in the new era,” Rosa Maria Chan, deputy minister for cultural and natural heritage, said in the statement.
K’abel, considered the greatest ruler of the Late Classic period, ruled with her husband, K’inich Bahlam, for at least 20 years in the 7th century, Freidel said. She was the military governor of the Waka kingdom for her family, the imperial house of the Snake King, and she carried the title “Kaloomte” — translated as “Supreme Warrior,” higher in authority than her husband, the king.
Freidel, who is from Washington University in St. Louis, said the findings at the ruins of El Peru-Waka were “serendipitous.”
“In retrospect, it makes a lot of sense that the people of Waka buried her in this particularly prominent place in their city,” Freidel said.
For Marcello A. Canuto, director of the Research Center of Central Tulane University in Louisiana, the alabaster identifies the tomb as that of the “Lady of Kaan” and noted there is a stela erected in her honor at the archaeological site.
“She has been given all the honors a male king would have been given,” Canuto said. “It’s not the first such tomb discovered, but it gives an idea of the important role women played in forging dynastic alliances, and the status they enjoyed.”
Traci Ardren, associate professor of anthropology at the University of Miami and a Mayan archaeologist specializing in gender relations, said the traditional belief that Maya men occupied a more important place than women has to do with the amount of images in Mayan art that show men in positions of authority.
“People like Lady K’abel show there were examples of extraordinary women who occupied powerful positions than men, which were successful and which were accepted by society,” Ardren said. (AP)

Philippines wedding planners and wedding reception caterers recommend Clark Philippines as this year’s premier destination for beach weddings and garden receptions. Wedding couples in Philippines no longer prefer traditional indoor venues and hotel ballrooms for wedding receptions in Manila, Angeles City, Subic and Clark Freeport.
Selecting a good and safe event venue in Philippines for team building and company outings is not that easy. Many public event venues in resort hotels in Philippines can’t deliver assurances of safety and security for a good team building event outside Manila. This exposes corporate and private events to risks that are not acceptable to event organizers in Philippines.
Visitors coming from Manila will be looking for beautiful places to relax and unwind because that is something that people living in the city hope to do when they get out of town. Clark is one of the popular holiday destinations because it offers that peaceful ambience for visitors to enjoy a day without stress.

Three persons, including a village official, were wounded when a fragmentation grenade went off just few feet away from an abandoned Army detachment in Pikit town in North Cotabato, around 8:20 p.m., Thursday.
Senior Inspector Elias Dandan, chief of Pikit Philippine National Police (PNP), identified the victims as Gilbert Perdida, barangay councilor of Kapinpilan, Midsayap; Renante Duelo of Midsayap; and Datuan Patugkain from Pikit town.
Dandan said the victims, Perdida and Duelo, were on board a tricycle driven by Patugkain, when the blast happened.
Perdida and Duelo, according to Dandan, had just attended a meeting in Pikit and decided to return to their place in Midsayap town.
While on their way, another motorcycle, was headed towards their direction.
One of the passengers lobbed a grenade and tossed it near the victims’ direction, reports said.
The victims were rushed to a hospital in Pikit town.
Authorities have yet to find out the motive and those behind the blast.
Last September, another grenade went off just outside the Army detachment where four Citizen Armed Forces Geographical Unit (Cafgu) members detailed at the area were wounded.
After the incident, the Army decided to abandon the outpost, Dandan said. (PNA)

MANILA — Two former officials of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) facing plunder charges with former President Gloria Arroyo are now under the custody of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
Former PCSO board chairman Sergio Valencia and former assistant general manager for finance Benigno Aguas surrendered on Thursday evening with their lawyers, radio reports said.
The two accused officials were brought to the PNP Custodial Center before midnight Thursday.
Meanwhile, the manhunt continues for the other former PCSO officials who are co-accused: Manoling Morato, Roasario Uriarte, Raymundo Roquero, Fatima Valdez, and Jose Taruc V.
Taruc reportedly left the country last July.
Arroyo and the accused PCSO officials are facing plunder charges for the alleged misuse of the P325-million intelligence fund of the said government office.
The former president was placed under arrest at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) on Thursday afternoon after the PNP served her warrant.
Arroyo once stayed under arrest in the VMMC due to the electoral sabotage charges filed against her. She was however released after posting bail. (Emmanuel Louis Bacani/Sunnex)

MANILA — The electorate are wise enough to vote for the “real Magsaysay,” former senator Ramon “Jun” Magsaysay Jr. said as he formalized his senatorial bid under the administration slate Friday.
Aside from the former senator, another Magsaysay is joining the senatorial race, Zambales Representative Milagros “Mitos” Magsaysay. She is the niece-in-law of Jun.
Mitos, who is running under the United Nationalist Alliance of former President Joseph Estrada and Vice President Jejomar Binay, earlier slammed Senator Franklin Drilon, now the campaign manager of the Liberal Party-led administration slate, for tagging her as a “fake” Magsaysay.
“I think Senator Drilon just mentioned it as a matter of fact,” the LP bet said. “I have a sister, Milagros Magsaysay, but I think she’s more of a Magsaysay than others.”
Asked whether he was referring to the three-term Zambales congresswoman, Jun said: “Not necessarily. As I said the final choice is up to the voters.”
He also dismissed claims that he was asked to run by President Benigno Aquino III to ensure the loss of Mitos, saying he was persuaded to run to “come out of retirement.”
“We can both win, we can both lose, (or) she wins and I lose or she loses and I win. It’s the option of the voters,” he said.
Mitos filed her candidacy papers with the UNA slate Monday, October 1. In a text message, she said: “We (Jun and I) are not enemies.”
Jun’s public service started in 1965 when he was elected as congressman for the lone district of Zambales. In 1992, he ran for vice president under the People’s Reform Party. He lost against then Senator Estrada.
From 1995 to 2007, he was a member of the Senate.
The former senator, 74, vowed to focus his legislative work on improving the economy if he wins next year. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)

Despite abrupt decision to run, Robredo has ‘clear advocacies to champion’
Press ReleasesMANILA, Philippines—Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo admitted she decided to run based on “gut feel” but rest assured, she knows her advocacies clearly and so are the measures she will propose once she get elected into office, she told in a radio interview Saturday morning.
“They gave me only two hours to decide,” she said, referring to her constituents who went to her house in Naga City on Friday to convince her to run for the 3rdcongressional district of Camarines Sur.
Robredo also admitted she never considered even running for the local elections and as a grieving widow, she explained her involvement with politics went as far as accepting the leadership of the Liberal Party in the province.
“It was meant to continue what my husband left,” she said. When her husband, former interior and local government secretary Jesse Robredo, died she said she has set her mind on living a quiet, private life.
Then again, when she thought of Jesse and what he would have done if he were in her position, she said he won’t refuse the call of the people to serve them.
That’s why, she emphasized, despite the abrupt decision, there’s no chance for her to back-out. “That would be unfair to the people. I accepted to run, I gave them hope, so there’s no turning back.”
Asked if she fears facing powerful political opponents and the dirty tactics that come with the job, she said the only fear she has is not spending quality time with her three daughters. “They lost a father and I don’t want to be an absentee mother to them because of the requirements of the job.”
Then again, she said if she’s going to win, that would mean spending more time in Metro Manila than Naga City. She said it’s timely because all of her children will have to be based in Manila in June next year for their studies.
As for her advocacies, she said as a lawyer, she belongs to a group where the focus is the welfare of the youth, the peasants, laborers, fishermen and the plight of women.
“There are a lot of laws that need to be revised because they are not fit to the times anymore. There are gaps in terms of people participation. There are so many causes that need to be enacted into laws,” she said.
She said she admits she might be seen as a “fence-sitter” at the onset of her term.
“That’s why I’ll work hard to push for my advocacies and those left by my husband,” she said.

Anatomy of Vatican scandal: How the butler did it
Press ReleasesVATICAN CITY — He had the trust of Pope Benedict XVI and the cardinals, monsignors and priests who run the Roman Catholic Church. And because of his privileged position as papal butler, he had access to their deepest secrets: confidential letters, memos, financial reports.
From under Benedict’s nose, Paolo Gabriele used the photocopier in the small office he shared with the two papal secretaries that adjoined the pope’s library, studio and chapel — and, he says, started copying them all.
At first he kept the documents to himself. Then he found a journalist he trusted, and the intrigues and injustices he saw around him spread around the world in the gravest Vatican security breach of modern times.
A three-judge Vatican tribunal on Saturday will decide whether Gabriele is guilty of aggravated theft, accused of stealing the pope’s private papers and leaking them to journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi, whose book “His Holiness: Pope Benedict XVI’s secret papers” became an immediate blockbuster when it was published in May. Gabriele has pleaded innocent, claiming he never took original documents, though he said he was guilty of “having betrayed the trust of the Holy Father, whom I love as a son would.”
From court documents, trial testimony and the book itself, the anatomy of the scandal has taken shape: They describe how a 46-year-old father of three, said by court-ordered psychiatrists to be unstable, desperate for attention and with illusions of grandeur, came to consider himself inspired by the Holy Spirit to expose the Vatican’s dirty laundry for the sake of saving the church. They demonstrate how he instigated a Hollywood-like plot to sneak the documents out of the Apostolic Palace under the cover of darkness to a waiting journalist outside the Vatican walls, who then exposed them on TV and in the most talked-about book of 2012.
Gabriele himself told the court this week that he became increasingly “scandalized” when, as he would serve Benedict his lunch, the pope would ask questions about issues he should have been informed about. That suggested to Gabriele that the pope was being intentionally kept in the dark by his advisers.
“I had a unique and privileged occasion to mature the conviction that it’s easy to manipulate someone with decision-making power,” Gabriele said of the pope. “With the help of others like Nuzzi, I thought I could help things be seen more clearly,” he told prosecutors in a July 21 interrogation.
Gabriele told Nuzzi that he started copying documents sporadically soon after Benedict became pope in 2005, and then in earnest in 2010 and 2011, when the No. 2 Vatican administrator began complaining about a smear campaign launched against him for having uncovered corruption and waste in running the Vatican City state.
In his testimony, Gabriele almost boasted that he would copy the letters in broad daylight, during his 7 a.m.-2:30 p.m. shift, while Monsignor Georg Gaenswein and the other papal secretary, Monsignor Alfred Xuereb, were at their desks facing his. He was free to sort through the mail that would come in daily to the office inboxes, even documentation that was on Gaenswein’s desk.
“The photocopier was in the corner, on the opposite side of the office,” Gabriele told the court as his lawyer handed out a floor-plan of the shared space. “I did it while I was in the office, since I was free to move around and didn’t have any wicked aims. I did it calmly, even in the presence of others.”
At the same time, Gabriele would also discuss Vatican problems with any number of trusted acquaintances he would run into on his walk home from the palace. On foot, the walk should take three to four minutes, he said, but sometimes he didn’t get home until 4 p.m. because he would be stopped by so many highly-placed people who wanted to speak to him.
He named names, including cardinals and monsignors. But in his testimony this week, Gabriele insisted he had no accomplices, recanting statements to prosecutors that his plot had been “suggested” to him by others.
Once home in the Vatican City apartment he shared with his wife and three children, Gabriele would file the papers away, “hidden” — police would later say — in between hundreds of thousands of pages of Internet research on Freemasonry, secret service units, Christianity, Buddhism and yoga. He filled a floor-to-ceiling armoire with the documentation in the study near his children’s’ PlayStation. A dining room cabinet held the rest.
“‘See how much I like to read and study,'” Vatican police officer Stefano De Santis quoted Gabriele as telling the four officers who searched his home May 23, the day Gabriele was taken into police custody.
In all, it took 82 moving boxes to cart out all the documents they found, though police said only about 1,000 pages were pertinent to the investigation. Police and Gaenswein have said that — contrary to the butler’s claims — they also contained original documents, obvious because of the seals, stamps and internal processing codes used in the Vatican.
Some bore the pope’s own handwriting, including with the word “destroy” written at the top in German, police told the court.
It was Gaenswein who found the “gotcha” documents that pointed him to the culprit: three letters reproduced in Nuzzi’s book that he said had never left his office.
Other documents had come from other Vatican congregations, so they could have been leaked at any point along the internal mail chain. These three, though, were addressed to Gaenswein: one from Italian TV host Bruno Vespa with a check for €10,000 and a request for a private papal audience; another from a Milan banker also containing a check; and an email from the Vatican spokesman that Gaenswein had printed out.
“These three didn’t leave the room,” Gaenswein testified. “This was the moment I started to have doubts.”
He convened a meeting of the tiny papal family on May 21, a day after Nuzzi’s book came out: Gabriele, Xuereb, the four consecrated women who tend to the papal household, and Birgit Wansing, who transcribes the pope’s tiny handwriting. Cristina Cernetti, one of the women, testified she knew it was Gabriele because she could “exclude everyone else” in the papal family.
Gabriele denied he was the leaker that day. Two days later, Gaenswein again convened the papal family to tell Gabriele he was suspended. A few hours later, he was in a Vatican jail cell.
Gabriele has denied to prosecutors taking any originals, insisting he only made copies. And he has denied having ever seen a nugget believed to be gold and a check for $100,000 made out to the pope that police said were found in his apartment. In their testimony, police were unable to say where exactly in his study they found the items.
Nuzzi has all but confirmed Gabriele was his main source, sending him a good luck tweet at the start of the trial and telling The Associated Press on the eve of the first hearing that he hoped the testimony would “unveil the motives and convictions that compelled Paolo Gabriele to bring to light documents and events described in the book.”
The handoff of documents from Gabriele to Nuzzi was something out of Hollywood.
Nuzzi wrote that he first met with his source, code-named Maria in the book, in January 2012. The first meeting was a test of whether Nuzzi could be trusted. Another meeting began with a long drive around Rome to ensure they weren’t being followed. Finally, there was a nighttime encounter in an unfurnished apartment, with a single chair in the living room where his source was sitting — in which “Maria” began spilling secrets.
In all, he said, the security precautions were more excessive than those used by Mafia turncoats he has interviewed. In one meeting, Maria turned up empty handed. Nuzzi recounted that his source then took off his jacket and turned around: There were 13 pages taped to his back.
Gabriele made copies of the documentation he gave to Nuzzi and gave them, in a box with the papal seal on it, to his confessor between February and March, court records show. The priest, identified by Gabriele only as Padre Giovanni, told prosecutors he burned the documentation soon after, knowing that it had been acquired illicitly.
Gabriele said he had made the copies because he knew he would eventually have to pay for what he had done, and wanted first to absolve himself spiritually.
“When the situation degenerated, I soon realized that I would need to face justice in some way,” Gabriele testified.
Gabriele faces four years in prison if convicted, though a papal pardon is widely expected.
The next step plays out Saturday. (AP)

Black Tuesday protest gains support of international group
Press ReleasesTHE global movement for digital freedom “Access” has launched a worldwide petition to “Stop Cyber Martial Law” in the Philippines.
“With broad and unjust cybercrime laws being enacted around the world, we need to fight them one by one. That’s why it’s critical that the international community stands together on Black Tuesday,” the petition stated.
Access is an international non-government organization that promotes open access to the Internet as a means to free, full and safe participation in society and the realization of human rights. It has been in the forefront of the international action against SOPA and PIPA.
In an email sent to millions of Access members worldwide, the organization pointed out: “This defiant and democratic spirit has been seen before. Over 25 years ago, Filipinos fought and won to overcome martial law and institute a democratic government. But what makes this law’s passage curious is that President Aquino is the son of Corazon Aquino, former President and leader of the opposition party that restored democracy in the Philippines in 1986. So many Filipinos are left wondering why the son of the leader who fought for their rights is allowing free speech to be taken away.”
The artist collective Dakila, a core member of the Philippine Internet Freedom Alliance, has been working with Access to bring to the attention of the international community the fight against cyber martial law in the Philippines.
Ayeen Karunungan of Dakila said, “It is really saddening that the cybercrime law has actually done what SOPA and PIPA have failed to do. In fact, it turned out far worse than the two. While we all want to be protected from cybercrimes such as cyberbullying, the Cybercrime Prevention Act does not answer the problems we are facing but merely curtails our freedom of expression and sends a chilling effect on Filipinos. And all of this is happening as we commemorate the 40th year since the declaration of Martial Law in our country.”
In the Twitter world, people from all over the world have been retweeting: “This tweet’s safe, but 1 bad RT=12 yrs in jail under new Filipino #CyberCrimeLaw” to gain support for the petition.
On Tuesday, the Philippine Internet Freedom Alliance is set to hold another Black Tuesday to protest the law as they wait for the Supreme Court en banc’s decision for the temporary restraining order.
Access has called on the international community and netizens all over the world to stand together on Black Tuesday. (PR)

‘Marce’ slightly weakens as it exits Philippines
Press ReleasesMANILA — Tropical storm “Marce” has slightly weakened as it moves away from the country towards Vietnam, according to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
“Marce” took a “U-turn” Thursday moving westward.
Weather forecaster Lenny Ruiz said tropical storm Marce was moving 85 kilometers per hour (kph) on Thursday morning. The storm’s maximum sustained winds further declined to 75 kph in Friday morning while its gustiness also fell from 100 kph to 90 kph.
As of 4:00 a.m. Friday, Marce was located at 280 km west of Subic, Zambales (14.5°N, 117.4°E) as it continues to slowly move in a westward direction.
Ruiz said Marce maintained its slow movement, prolonging its stay in the country as the storm is now expected to leave the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Saturday afternoon or Sunday, instead of the earlier forecast of Friday.
He added that storm warning signal number 1 hoisted over Zambales and Bataan is now lifted.
Ruiz said the storm is not expected to make a landfall in any part of the country but will continue to enhance the southwest monsoon while it stays inside the PAR.
It is expected to bring light to heavy rains in many parts of the Luzon and Visayas, particularly in its western sections.
Metro Manila, on the other hand, Ruiz noted, will have passing light to moderate rains “due to the effects of the active southwest monsoon or localized thunderstorms.”
Pagasa said that those areas within the 500-km diameter of the tropical storm are expected to experience 10 to 25 mm per hour, which is classified as “heavy to intense.”
Fishing boats and other small seacrafts are advised not to venture out into the western seaboard of Luzon and Visayas due to big waves generated by Tropical Storm “Marce”.
In its advisory, Pagasa said Mimaropa (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan), Visayas and Zamboanga Peninsula will be cloudy with occasional moderate to heavy rains and thunderstorms. Metro Manila and the rest of Mindanao will have occasional light to moderate rains or thunderstorms. The rest of Luzon will be partly cloudy with brief rainshowers or thunderstorms.
Moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast to east will prevail over the Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley and Ilocos Region and coming from the southwest to south over the rest of Luzon and Western Visayas.
The coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough.
Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the southwest to west with slight to moderate seas.
The weather agency also issued gale warning as strong to gale force wind and will affect the western seaboard of Luzon and Visayas.
Fishing boats and other small seacrafts are advised not to venture out into the sea while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves. (PNA)

6 ‘hijackers’ in Cavite killed
Press ReleasesMANILA, Philippines – Six suspected hijackers were killed in a shootout with policemen in Dasmariñas, Cavite early Friday.
Police reports said they spotted the four alleged hijackers – three on board a Mitsubishi Adventure and one driving an Isuzu van filled with sandwich spread in Barangay San Agustin 3.
According to Cavite provincial director John Bulalacao that they have been eyeing the group because of the series of hijacking incidents of the delivery trucks in Cavite.
The authorities tried to flag down the group but the group fired shots.
Four suspects were eventually killed after the said chase.
Police said two of the suspects were identified as Jonjie Lianco and Robert Santos – both wearing in police uniforms.
The police director said he will still have to verify if the two slain suspects were policemen.
However, Bulalacao noted that the IDs of the two suspects seemed to be original and their guns bore the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) seal.
Meanwhile, in a follow-up police operation, authorities located a warehouse in Mahogany Street, Langkaan 2, Dasmariñas, Cavite, where two alleged hijackers were killed.
Police found, in the said warehouse, boxes of sandwich spread.
Bulalacao also suspects that the third suspect, who has yet to be identified, was also a policeman after a gun with a PNP seal was recovered from him.
The fourth suspect was identified as Jesse Gonzales Villanueva.
Bulalacao suspects the six slain suspects belong to a single group.
Cavite police added that there have been four incidents of hijacking in the province in the past two months where some P3 million worth of goods were stolen. (sunnex)

Archaeologists find likely queen tomb in Guatemala
Press ReleasesThe discovery of a tomb that experts believe might be that of a great Maya queen could redefine the understanding of women’s political roles during the Classic Maya period, experts said Thursday.
A team of U.S. and Guatemalan experts led by anthropologist David Freidel found a stone jar at a burial chamber in northern Guatemala that led them to believe it is the burial site of Lady K’abel, considered the military governor of an ancient Maya city during the 7th century.
“Lady K’abel was buried 11 meters down from the surface in a temple near a stairway,” Freidel said. “K’abel was not a regular person. To put her in that location means that it was important; it means that people continued to worship her after the fall of the dynasty.”
The team working in the royal Maya city of El Peru-Waka also found other evidence, such as ceramic vessels, jade jewelry, thousands of obsidian blades and a large stone with carvings referring to Lady K’abel.
The alabaster jar showed the head and arm of an aged woman emerging from the opening and glyphs pointing to the name of the queen, Guatemala’s cultural ministry said in a statement Thursday.
“The royal tomb shows that women have been leaders in the past and we must now assume and exercise political participation to strengthen the role of women in the new era,” Rosa Maria Chan, deputy minister for cultural and natural heritage, said in the statement.
K’abel, considered the greatest ruler of the Late Classic period, ruled with her husband, K’inich Bahlam, for at least 20 years in the 7th century, Freidel said. She was the military governor of the Waka kingdom for her family, the imperial house of the Snake King, and she carried the title “Kaloomte” — translated as “Supreme Warrior,” higher in authority than her husband, the king.
Freidel, who is from Washington University in St. Louis, said the findings at the ruins of El Peru-Waka were “serendipitous.”
“In retrospect, it makes a lot of sense that the people of Waka buried her in this particularly prominent place in their city,” Freidel said.
For Marcello A. Canuto, director of the Research Center of Central Tulane University in Louisiana, the alabaster identifies the tomb as that of the “Lady of Kaan” and noted there is a stela erected in her honor at the archaeological site.
“She has been given all the honors a male king would have been given,” Canuto said. “It’s not the first such tomb discovered, but it gives an idea of the important role women played in forging dynastic alliances, and the status they enjoyed.”
Traci Ardren, associate professor of anthropology at the University of Miami and a Mayan archaeologist specializing in gender relations, said the traditional belief that Maya men occupied a more important place than women has to do with the amount of images in Mayan art that show men in positions of authority.
“People like Lady K’abel show there were examples of extraordinary women who occupied powerful positions than men, which were successful and which were accepted by society,” Ardren said. (AP)

Philippines wedding planners and wedding reception caterers recommend Clark Philippines as this year’s premier destination for beach weddings and garden receptions. Wedding couples in Philippines no longer prefer traditional indoor venues and hotel ballrooms for wedding receptions in Manila, Angeles City, Subic and Clark Freeport.
Selecting a good and safe event venue in Philippines for team building and company outings is not that easy. Many public event venues in resort hotels in Philippines can’t deliver assurances of safety and security for a good team building event outside Manila. This exposes corporate and private events to risks that are not acceptable to event organizers in Philippines.

3 hurt in North Cotabato blast
Press ReleasesThree persons, including a village official, were wounded when a fragmentation grenade went off just few feet away from an abandoned Army detachment in Pikit town in North Cotabato, around 8:20 p.m., Thursday.
Senior Inspector Elias Dandan, chief of Pikit Philippine National Police (PNP), identified the victims as Gilbert Perdida, barangay councilor of Kapinpilan, Midsayap; Renante Duelo of Midsayap; and Datuan Patugkain from Pikit town.
Dandan said the victims, Perdida and Duelo, were on board a tricycle driven by Patugkain, when the blast happened.
Perdida and Duelo, according to Dandan, had just attended a meeting in Pikit and decided to return to their place in Midsayap town.
While on their way, another motorcycle, was headed towards their direction.
One of the passengers lobbed a grenade and tossed it near the victims’ direction, reports said.
The victims were rushed to a hospital in Pikit town.
Authorities have yet to find out the motive and those behind the blast.
Last September, another grenade went off just outside the Army detachment where four Citizen Armed Forces Geographical Unit (Cafgu) members detailed at the area were wounded.
After the incident, the Army decided to abandon the outpost, Dandan said. (PNA)

Press ReleasesMANILA — Two former officials of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) facing plunder charges with former President Gloria Arroyo are now under the custody of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
Former PCSO board chairman Sergio Valencia and former assistant general manager for finance Benigno Aguas surrendered on Thursday evening with their lawyers, radio reports said.
The two accused officials were brought to the PNP Custodial Center before midnight Thursday.
Meanwhile, the manhunt continues for the other former PCSO officials who are co-accused: Manoling Morato, Roasario Uriarte, Raymundo Roquero, Fatima Valdez, and Jose Taruc V.
Taruc reportedly left the country last July.
Arroyo and the accused PCSO officials are facing plunder charges for the alleged misuse of the P325-million intelligence fund of the said government office.
The former president was placed under arrest at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) on Thursday afternoon after the PNP served her warrant.
Arroyo once stayed under arrest in the VMMC due to the electoral sabotage charges filed against her. She was however released after posting bail. (Emmanuel Louis Bacani/Sunnex)

Magsaysay Jr.: Voters to discern real Magsaysay
Press ReleasesMANILA — The electorate are wise enough to vote for the “real Magsaysay,” former senator Ramon “Jun” Magsaysay Jr. said as he formalized his senatorial bid under the administration slate Friday.
Aside from the former senator, another Magsaysay is joining the senatorial race, Zambales Representative Milagros “Mitos” Magsaysay. She is the niece-in-law of Jun.
Mitos, who is running under the United Nationalist Alliance of former President Joseph Estrada and Vice President Jejomar Binay, earlier slammed Senator Franklin Drilon, now the campaign manager of the Liberal Party-led administration slate, for tagging her as a “fake” Magsaysay.
“I think Senator Drilon just mentioned it as a matter of fact,” the LP bet said. “I have a sister, Milagros Magsaysay, but I think she’s more of a Magsaysay than others.”
Asked whether he was referring to the three-term Zambales congresswoman, Jun said: “Not necessarily. As I said the final choice is up to the voters.”
He also dismissed claims that he was asked to run by President Benigno Aquino III to ensure the loss of Mitos, saying he was persuaded to run to “come out of retirement.”
“We can both win, we can both lose, (or) she wins and I lose or she loses and I win. It’s the option of the voters,” he said.
Mitos filed her candidacy papers with the UNA slate Monday, October 1. In a text message, she said: “We (Jun and I) are not enemies.”
Jun’s public service started in 1965 when he was elected as congressman for the lone district of Zambales. In 1992, he ran for vice president under the People’s Reform Party. He lost against then Senator Estrada.
From 1995 to 2007, he was a member of the Senate.
The former senator, 74, vowed to focus his legislative work on improving the economy if he wins next year. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)
