Who’s Really Busted? More Information about the issue

Here’s some more information that relates to our previous blog “Who’s really busted? A response to Reyfort Media Group’s (PNT) Rey Fortaleza’s Philippine Asian News Today article “Busted: Bomba News.”” If you haven’t read that yet, we suggest you do before reading this one.

WHO WAS THE FIRST TO LIKE AND COMMENT ON ARACELI FORTALEZA’S POST and KONSENSYANG PINOY’S POST?

JOEY ALBERT

The very first commenter that chimed in was none other than a formerly well-known 1980’s singer in the Philippines, Original Pilipino Music OPM Queen, JOEY ALBERT where she wrote “Getting 100 copies!”.

Joey Albert also was the very first person to like a photo posted on Facebook which appears to be putting down Luisa Marshall and her TV show by using what looks like Luisa’s TV show logo but with the altered text “Simply Busted!” made by none other than the nameless coward Konsensyang Pinoy. The Facebook post also features the unauthorized use of photographer Bert Morelos’ copyrighted photo. Joey Albert was the very first and the one and only liker of the photo at that time.

If you thought Joey Albert would have better things to do than get herself involved in a ridiculous Facebook bashing that turned into Cyber Bullying against Luisa Marshall, you maybe wrong. She was the first to like the whole post and first to like the unconscionable cowardly attacks by the nameless Konsensyang Pinoy.  

We wonder, doesn’t Joey Albert have a PR manager? Does nobody advise her to not stoop down and get herself involved on a distasteful Facebook post like Araceli Fortaleza’s. We thought it makes her look ridiculous to jump in and be the first liker on irrelevant posts that attack Luisa.

MESSAGE TO JOEY ALBERT – Luisa was not busted for anything. Have you in fact read Rey Fortaleza’s Busted Bomba News article? If not, then you should. If so… then maybe you should read it again. We believe there were a LOT of things you might have missed.

THE JUATCO FAMILY ISSUES?

Bodeng Juatco (aka Roque Perona Juatco), Janice Lozano and Roque Juatco Jr.

We don’t know where to start with the Juatco family issues. Steve and Luisa Marshall gave half of their prime TV air time on Shaw to Janice Lozano and Roque Juatco Jr. so they could have their TV show Pinoy Buzz (which was the creation of Elena Aikenhead). Steve and Luisa then filmed their first pilot for free so that Janice and Roque could get the go ahead from Shaw. 10 or so shows after they got going, Janice allowed people to attack Luisa and her show on her Facebook wall. (Click here to read more)

“If we knew back then what we know now about this family we would NOT have allowed them to have our valuable airtime for their Pinoy Buzz Show. They are very good at acting nice with different intentions in the end.”

– Steve Marshall

Then Steve and Luisa made a stand that they would not support anything that the Juatco’s did and chose to support the Juatco’s alleged victims, including the ones that were brave enough to tell their stories on Nellie Vandt’s site. Bodeng Juatco Sr. wrote an article titled “The other side of the story” which he acted like they did nothing and it was everyone else’s fault.  Steve Marshall challenged him on Nellie Vandt’s site and on Bodeng Juatco Sr.’s own Asian Chronicle Facebook wall but Bodeng disappeared with no answer.

It seems the whole family has been waiting for a chance to get at Steve and Luisa and the inappropriate Reyfort Media articles gave them that chance even though Luisa had nothing to do with any of Rey Fortaleza’s personal issues with Amado Lugtu and Christian Cunanan.

After Araceli Fortaleza put the front page AMADO LUGTU THREATENS REY FORTALEZA Showbiz magazine story on her Facebook wall and Rey Fortaleza shared it on his wall, Roque Juatco Jr. is the first one to make an ignorant comment “…..Looks like the scambusters are getting busted lol”

Roque Juatco Jr. was under the impression that Amado Lugtu is one of the so called SCAMBUSTERS. Roque Juatco Jr. is ignorant of the facts. Steve Marshall had to remind him that the SCAMBUSTERS was a title given by Lugtu (the publisher) to describe the alleged victims that Lugtu wrote about in his newspaper from the www.nellievandt.com site.  The SCAMBUSTERS are actually the people that came forward in part as alleged victims with their stories about what Roque Juatco Jr., his wife Janice Lozano and his parents Erlinda and Roque Juatco Sr. did in the past to them. (Click here to see more about this issue.)

JOJO QUIMPO RUNNING IN FEDERAL ELECTION NOMINATION FOR THE CONSERVATIVES

We thought Amy Sundberg would have Jojo Quimpo busy out trying to get people to sign up with the Conservatives as he is attempting to get nominated to run in the federal election for the Conservatives in Kingsway.

It’s very disappointing that Jojo Quimpo, the person that allegedly allowed Cyber Bullying against Luisa Marshall to happen on his Facebook wall for 3 or so weeks last year, starts liking public Facebook posts including a thread that has an unnamed coward called Konsensyang Pinoy which AGAIN is Cyber Bullying Luisa Marshall. We guess some things never change… even if you are running for a Conservative Nomination in a Federal Election.

So Jojo Quimpo wants to run for a Federal MP for the Conservatives? It’s unbelievable to us based on his actions and his admission that he altered his professional credentials to suit his personal liking (only after being confronted by Bert Morelos and being featured in the Georgia Straight). But you better believe it Kingsway Conservatives, and he wants your vote and support. (Click here to read more about Jojo Quimpo’s issues.)

WHO IS MARY BETH QUIMPO?

Steve and Luisa have never had any interaction with Mary Beth Quimpo in the past, but being the sister of Jojo Quimpo, it was no surprise that she got involved in sharing the nameless Konsensyang Pinoy that made the libelous cowardly comments on Rey and Araceli Fortaleza’s Facebook walls and his/her own wall.

Mary Beth Quimpo shared Konsensyang Pinoy’s info with others. Note there is a bunch of comments after Araceli blocked Steve Marshall from commenting any further.

SALVE DAYAO OF THE COMING SOON REYFORT PRODUCED TV SHOW “FRIENDS OF ED AND SALVE AT JAVA JAZZ TV SHOW”

Salve was friends with Luisa for many years until Salve allegedly started to say things about Luisa and her family to other people. When Luisa confronted Salve she tried denying what people were telling Luisa. Salve liked a lot of things on Araceli’s wall and it’s no surprise as Salve is hoping Reyfort will come through and finally produce a TV show for her. So far it is still in the COMING SOON status along with others.

GIGI GREY-RICARSE

Steve and Luisa have never had an issue with Gigi. She likely got caught up in this whole thing and possibly someone asked her to like this post. But regardless she is also in the waiting for one of the COMING SOON TV show spots that Reyfort Media Group says they will do. As of this writing, we heard that Gigi pulled her show from the Reyfort camp.

AND HE’S BACK AGAIN: ROMEO GABRIOLA TORRES

Steve and Luisa Marshall have never had any involvement with Romeo Torres. Yet he puts down Luisa and her TV show any chance he gets, calling her a copycat and calling her show Simply the Best Liar. He even went as far as to make homophobic slurs against a guest on Luisa’s TV show who was sharing his story about being bullied and taken advantage of. This time he repeated his “Simply the Best Liar” statement. Look how he communicates with the nameless coward. Romeo Torres’s post below shows that he must have a hard time understanding and reading because Luisa was not busted for anything.

Below is the first post Torres posted on Jojo Quimpo’s wall against Luisa last year.  Up to now, Romeo Gabriola Torres has never specified or justified what lie he is referring to or what his issues are with Simply the Best TV Show or the interviewed guest at that time. (Click here to read more about Romeo Gabriola Torres.)

DID STEVE MARSHALL QUESTION THE REYFORT NEWSPAPER PRINCIPLES?  

Prior to BUSTED BOMBA NEWS there was an email exchange between Steve Marshall and Reyfort Media Group on another matter.  At that time, Steve questioned their newspaper reporting tactics (see the pdf below).  Araceli responded in Blue and Steve responded back in Red, the black and purple text is Steve’s original text to Araceli.

Araceli never did respond again to these emails.

ARACELI Emailed Steve Marshall about their Showbiz Today article and Steve responded in Red. You can see Steve questioned Reyfort Media Group for the second time about how they operate and the principles of their newspaper. Steve also requested that himself and Luisa should have a meeting with Rey and Araceli. Fortaleza’s never did respond again to Steve’s request for a personal meeting. Instead Rey printed the BUSTED BOMBA NEWS article without asking Luisa or the others their side of this story. (RED text is Steve answering to Araceli Fortaleza,  the black and purple text is what Araceli wrote.)

REY FORTALEZA PUT THE FACES OF FOUR PEOPLE ON HIS VERY PERSONAL FRONT PAGE NEWSPAPER “BUSTED BOMBA NEWS” AND FAILED TO DO BALANCED REPORTING

Prior to putting out his “BUSTED BOMBA NEWS” Rey Fortaleza did not follow common standard industry procedures in balanced reporting by making sure that he ask for the other side of the story. Not only did Rey and Araceli Fortaleza ignore Steve Marshall’s request for a meeting, they did not get ahold of Luisa to ask her side of this story and ask her to confirm or deny his accusations. Luisa confronted Rey Fortaleza at the press conference of Jaya and asked him why he included her in his newspaper. Rey could only say what Araceli keeps writing “the picture is self explanatory”. What picture? And HOW is it self explanatory?

In response to Rey Fortaleza’s “Busted: “BOMBA News”” article, and to set the record straight, Luisa Marshall is not a personal friend of Amado Lugtu and is innocent to the baseless accusations made by Rey Fortaleza in his inaccurate article. Rey states multiple times that Luisa was discussing “BOMBA news” against him yet in his article he provides no clear evidence to back up his accusations. Rey and Araceli Fortaleza have been asked numerous times as to why they included Luisa Marshall in their libelous newspaper article and – still today – they could not produce a single credible reason. All they’ve been able to say is the “picture is self explanatory”.

To us, none of the pictures used by Rey Fortaleza in his article justify his false accusations against Luisa and find Araceli’s reasoning of the picture being “self explanatory” as completely unacceptable.

Reyfort Media Group’s questionable use of photos and copyright?

Speaking of pictures, in Rey Fortaleza’s newspaper article, the only one who seems to actually be BUSTED is none other than Rey Fortaleza himself – TWICE. In his newspaper, he uses an event photo belonging to freelance photographer Bert Morelos and also uses a Simply the Best TV Show episode picture without authorization from either party. Reyfort Media Group used both pictures without permission.

The Original Photos vs Reyfort Media’s Front Page Newspaper Article

Reyfort Media Group cropped and used Bert Morelos’ photo which had 2 copyright reserved notices on the picture before using it for their Philippine Asian News Today.

Reyfort Media Group left the Simply the Best TV show logo visible in the picture they used without permission.
