A Letter to an Investor

Images after Yolanda compiled by International Business Times, London



Below is the template of the letter that we sent to a potential Investor for the planned settlement effort for some of the victims of tropical cyclone #Haiyan codenamed #Yolanda that are spread out in nine (9) Regions of the Philippines.

We are reaching out here to other investors. This same message is shared with other philanthropic individuals and organizations that would want to share in the rebuilding of the devastated places left by the super typhoon. The task at hand is gargantuan that economic expert Gov. Joey Salceda initially estimated a total of Six Hundred Sixty Four Billion Philippine Pesos (PHP664-B) for the entire reconstruction to be accomplished. Gov. Salceda has since toned it down to PHP398-Billion. Our estimate, coinciding with the draft Senate Bill authored by Sen. Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. is a conservative PHP150-Billion that will be spent in a spread of more or less five (5) years of rebuilding and rehabilitation.

We hope that our brothers and sisters all around the world will understand that the real task simply begins after all the relief goods have been given away.

The Investor

Dear Investor:

In the past, the proposal of the our group for a US$2-Billion fund in favor of the Philippine Government for an environment friendly resettlement project to be located in the village of Sampaloc in Tanay, Rizal Province was approved by the Investor.

The Center for Man and Society (Centre di Humanes et Societas, Inc.), over a working period of at least one year, obtained the formal Letter of Intent to the Philippine Government from the Investor to fund the shelter development project. The letter was delivered to MalacaƱang Palace and the housing officials of then Excellency Joseph Estrada, President of the Philippines. With the situation that the project was stalled when a new administration took over from President Estrada, we formed several private companies such as CyberparkHoldings, Inc. and Greengold CyberparkHoldings Corporation, along with Cyberpark Telecom, Inc. and other concerns.

For a start, we hereby further signify our formal intent to enter into investment venture partnership with Investor for an initial fund facility as speedily as the Investor can allow to jumpstart our development projects for the rehabilitation of communities devastated by Typhoon Yolanda.

Thank you very much and hoping for your most favorable response and being able to work with you and the Investor’s Designated Representatives in the very near future.


Faithfully Yours,


Cyberpark companies group 



NARRATIVE OF FUND

In a past venture the Investor approved a fund through the efforts of Centre di Humanes et Societas, Inc. for the Republic of the Philippines Government with an absolute value of USD 2-Billion at tranches of USD50-Million for a shelter development project in the village called Sampaloc, Municipality of Tanay, Rizal Province in the Philippines.

The formal Letter of Intent was issued on the approval of fund for the Sampaloc, Municipality of Tanay, Rizal Province, Philippines shelter development project by the Agent of the Investor based in the United States of America.

QualityChange.com: There is a lesson to Yolanda disgrace



What is Roxas really doing
in Tacloban anyway if the
glitches and troubles in attending
to the needs of disaster victims
can't be resolved?




In the case of Senator, now DILG secretary Manuel A. Roxas the 3rd, the desire to show exemplary performance and to do what other acts in Tacloban that he may not be able to perform with partners in Metro Manila, he had to sacrifice not being with the other member of his family, Mrs. Corina Sanchez Roxas and spend his working day as well as nights in Tacloban - or somewhere near that no man's land: His stay in Tacloban irks the people who see him there and does not bode well for his political future. (Photo credit: Inquirer news) . . .
. . .Unlike Mr. Roxas, unless there are changes we do not expect in the future, Ms. Soliman is not running for President in 2016. Eduardo D. Del Rosario, the head of the NDRRMC, should be the one staying in Tacloban - especially if he is running for President or Senator in 2016. But that may never happen. So far, because Del Rosario is a might shy over the idea of setting up camp in the disaster affected areas, even the very presence of NDRRMC according to international observers, is not felt in Tacloban and other places where they are needed the most.

This man, Del Rosario, like his seniors Secretary Voltaire T. Gazmin and Assistant Secretary Efren Q. Fernandez, is deeply embattled in the Department of National Defense where there is an invisible battle being waged by certain ambitious persons who have made it their daily mantra to campaign for the civilianization of the defense department due to the fact that they are now in the most important positions. Some of these multi-diplomaed civilian persons hold four to five concurrent positions under the Secretary, the undersecretaries and assistant secretaries.

Another secretary, this one without portfolio, Jose Rene Almendras, a very close friend of the President of the Philippines, former President of Manila Water, is in the limelight of the post Yolanda tragedy possibly by the design of Mr. Aquino or Almendras' dream of reviving the golden days of the Almendras clan in politics. From being energy secretary to cabinet secretary, Almendras, aside from Mr. Roxas is now one one of the country's hands-on disaster response management experts. And doing a bad job with Roxas at it.

As Mr. Simeon Benigno Cojuaungco Aquino the 3rd wades through the waters of indifference over the plight of the victims of Yolanda, the share prices in the Philippine stock market plummeted, ostensibly due to the risk avoidance stance of many investors worldwide. The inside track of course will reveal that apprehensions over the Aquino regime's handling of government and the severely wanting response to Yolanda, is a main factor in the share price plunge.

There appears to be lessons in all this. More > >

Featured:  The Petilla family and the Veloso family, have almost completely replaced the Romualdezes in achieving total control and power over Leyte.

For  generations the Petillas have lorded it over Leyte, and now they have adequate power and control as well in Southern Leyte. Therefore the energy secretary, Jericho Petilla, 3-term Leyte Governor, after having benefited from the fruits of their family's being the overlord of Leyte should know the province like the back of his hand, plus it will be a way of giving back to the province what he had received in bountiful blessings in the past.
