Watch "Imbestigador: Bantay Kaban ng Bayan' on September 15

GMA News and Public Affairs’ Bantay Kaban ng Bayan uncovers more this Sunday on Imbestigador right after Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho.

Millions upon millions of pesos stacked on top of a bed or tucked away in money bags inside a bath tub. This is how Benhur Luy, whistleblower in the alleged 10B-peso pork barrel scam, described the cash flow that allegedly went to Janet Lim-Napoles, accused of masterminding the controversial scam. Using connections in government, Napoles and her group allegedly gained billions from the Priority Development Assistance Fund or PDAF, more commonly known as “pork barrel”, through an elaborate ‘kickback’ scheme.

In GMA News and Public Affairs’ special report this Sunday hosted by veteran journalist Mike Enriquez, Bantay Kaban ng Bayan traces the anatomy of the scam. The Bantay Kaban Team goes on-ground - from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao - to physically inspect projects that were funded by the pork barrel and questioned by the Commission on Audit. In various provinces in Luzon,correspondent Joseph Morong and the team are met with ghost projects and overpriced packages given to beneficiaries. Marginalized residents and farmers cry foul over the undelivered projects which were handled by the questionable NGOs being linked to Napoles.

But among the 82 NGOs questioned by COA, only 8 are being linked to Napoles by her former employees. Bantay Kaban ng Bayan asks: who are behind the 74 other NGOs? The team uncovers at least 450 names behind these dubious NGOs and investigates the persons behind the top ten foundations that received billions in pork barrel. In Cebu, residents’ signatures were faked to make them appear as project beneficiaries.

Inspiring speech by Bill Gates on Harvard Commencement

I always wanted to share this inspiring speech by Mr. Bill Gates. This speech is worth reading over and again. (I just can't remember how many times i read it myself). I received this thru e-mail which was sent to me by a good friend. Harvard Commencement (Text as prepared for delivery) President Bok, former President Rudenstine, incoming President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, parents, and especially, the graduates: I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: “Dad, I always told you I’d come back and get my degree.” I want to thank Harvard for this timely honor. I’ll be changing my job next year … and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume. I applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. For my part, I’m just happy that the Crimson has called me “Harvard’s most successful dropout.” I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class … I did the b...

TikTok Viewer Job gone viral

I have posted a story about the company offering a Tiktok Viewer job that has gone viral. Is there such job posting as Tiktok viewer? How much is the salary being a TikTok Viewer? I received a message on my "Whatsapp" account asking me if I can be a TikTok viewer and work from home with good remuneration. She said she got my number from Linkedin and/or Jobstreet. When I accepted the job offer, I was unsure if it was legit. I heard about some home-based typing jobs and think that it might be a valid job since the recruiter told me he is working in a particular company, which I "Google" and saw a legit Website. To register for the job you just need to send them your name, age and mobile number. After accepting my registration they sent P100 pesos to my GCash number as a sign-up bonus. The so-called "The Manager" asked me to install Telegraph apps and joined me in a group chat. There, The Manager" will send a task like Task No. 3 with the link to the T...

I got a TikTok Viewer Job Offer from Skyrocket Studio Ph- Scam or Not?

Earlier today, I got a message on my Whatsapp and telling me to become a TikTok Viewer with an attractive salary and commission. The message says it's a part-time job and I can work from Home. Legit or not? So I ask the sender who he/she is and how did she manage to get my Whatsapp number. She told me she was from Skyrocket Studio Ph and she got my number from Whatsapp, Linkedin and/or Telegram. She's not sure actually where she got my number.
