A HARD SLAP ON RAISSA ROBLES' FACE!

Here’s SOLID, INDISPUTABLE PROOF that Charina Corona can afford to buy, and is the OWNER of, the California, USA home which accusers of her father, Chief Justice Renato Corona, persist as his or was bought under DUBIOUS TERMS and conditions using her as a dummy.

From a report by NADIA TRINIDAD of the ABS-CBN North America News Bureau (which I am quoting in full):

Given her work as a physical therapist, Chief Justice Renato Corona’s daughter Charina can afford to buy a house in Roseville, California where she is now based.

A report from ABS-CBN North America News Bureau showed that the house which blogger-journalist Raissa Robles wrote about is a “starter home” and not a lavish one as some quarters had alleged.

Based on aboveallhouseplans.com, “a starter home implies the home can be built on a low budget for a first-time home owner. Sometimes they are called 'cost buster' meaning a great deal of planning has gone into the design to eliminate waste.”

Based on the US Labor Department, a physical therapist earns at least $79,830 a year or P3.5 million a year. This supports earlier statements from Corona’s camp that Charina can buy a house on her own. Corona, who is going through an impeachment trial, said he does not own the property.

The ABS-CBN North American Bureau tried to get Charina’s statement, but she refused to answer.

The house is worth $269,500. Charina made a 10% downpayment and she pays the balance every month. The balance is payable in 30 years.

According to California real estate expert and lawyer Norberto Reyes, Roseville is one of the many communities in the US greatly affected by the foreclosure crisis that started in 2006.

Costs of houses slipped by almost half because of the economic crisis. Charina bought the house in 2008.

“This might be a home that's suitable for a young married couple just starting out. You know, low- to middle-income. It is by no means a luxurious property,” Reyes said.

Based on a title obtained by the bureau, Charina also signed an inter-spousal grant deed for the property, which means she is the sole owner of the house. Reyes said, however, that this is common in the US.

“It's not uncommon for married couples to enter into an agreement whether formal or otherwise, that certain property would be considered separate property of one spouse instead of community property even though that property may have been acquired during the time of the marriage. That's not uncommon at all,” Reyes said.  30

Now, think about these, ladies and gentlemen:

Raissa Robles cited documents and other data in her blog that cast serious doubt on the financial capability of Charina to buy the home. For those who missed it, Robles even used the purchase as a justification for the opening of Corona’s dollar accounts.

But she NEVER CAME OUT in her blog with how much can a physical therapist earn in the US.

Any writer worth his or her salt would have readily asked that question, since it’s OBVIOUSLY RELATED to her blogs. So the question now is WHY DIDN’T SHE? Anybody correct me if I’m wrong.

If Robles will say it was an oversight on her part, considering how good she supposedly is, I’ll readily comment: Tell it to the marines. If she’ll insist on the accuracy of her blogs and dare say the ABS-CBN report was erroneous, then she had better have airtight proof and very, very credible sources.

If Robles won’t comment, then it will be UNDENIABLE PROOF that she had been into INTRIGUES ALL ALONG in writing her Charina blogs with the VULGAR GOAL of helping DEMONIZE Chief Justice Corona in the public mind.

Take your pick, ladies and gentlemen.

I just sincerely hope that everyone will be VERY, VERY CAREFUL from now on before believing in whatever Robles will say against Corona.

DON’T PANIC OVER NORTH KOREAN ROCKET!

JESS LUDOVICE

Isa lang ang panalangin ko. Sana, ang mahulugan ng rocket debris ay yung NAGNONOYNOYING. Yung nasa Malacanang lang, ha!

ENCHONG JUANATAS

That’s true. We are not in panic regarding the rocket launch of North Korea dahil we are expecting its debris to fall straight on Malacanang at nandun ang nagnonoynoying. Lord, hear our prayer!

ERNESTO ROMUALDEZ

Mga nagpapanic, PARANOID!

JAN VICTOR AYSON of Quezon City

Aba, nakazipper yata po ang mouth ni Pnoy sa kahirapan, taas-presyo ng langis, mga demolisyon, mga pagpaslang.

LENI RACCA

What's Pnoy going to do if it falls on Malacanang, hide under the bed?

HAZEL LOUISE

Sana, Noynoy seeking missile iyun.

MINDANAO POWER CRISIS SUSPICIOUS, IMMORAL!

ALON VALDEZ

A case of Mindanao always forgotten!

EDMUND VALEN

It seems no one in Mindanao is complaining, except for a few of us here in Manila. I believe there are many cause-oriented groups in Mindanao who can publicly air and drumbeat this problem to awaken the Noynoying people in government. Bakit kaya wala?

LARD SOLOSA

Congress wants to give emergency powers to Pnoy to solve the problem, yet Pnoy wants to throw these same problems to LGUs.  30
