- The 70-year old TV host accused broadcaster Gani Oro for emotional blackmail.
Last March 2, veteran entertainment columnist Lolit Solis appeared on Raffy Tulfo’s shows “Wanted sa Radyo” and “Itimbre Mo Kay Tulfo.” The 70-year old TV host complained about the broadcaster Gani Oro for alleged emotional blackmail.
Prior to this, Lolit reported that the broadcaster’s wife Imee Santiago Oro offered his artist Alfred Vargas a travel tour. However, it seems that the travel package seemed to be a ‘scam.’
“Ang ikinakairita ko pa, nung tumawag si Gani Oro sa akin, sabi niya, parang feeling pa niya, pinoprotektahan pa niya si Alfred. Na kawawa naman si Alfred, maeeskandalo kapag nalaman ng lahat kung anong klaseng tour ang ibinigay sa amin. Hindi eskandalo yun, ‘no! Eskandalo ba yun kung nagtitipid siya? Buti pa nga, ibinlow-out pa niya kami, ‘no!” Lolit started sharing to Raffy.
Lolit shared that Alfred was supposedly gave them a tour in South Korea.
“Si Alfred kasi, alaga ko. Ako ang manager ni Alfred. So, nilapitan ko siya. Sabi ko, ‘Alfred, i-blowout mo naman kami, apat kaming reporter—si Salve Asis na editor ng PSN saka PM, si Rose Garcia, at si Vinia Vivar na mga movie writer din. Sabi ko kay Alfred, ‘Blowout mo naman kami sa South Korea, package tour na lang kasi mura yun,” she said.
“Siyempre, siya ang sponsor, siya ang naghanap ng travel agent. Kinuha ni Alfred ang package tour sa Las Vegas Travels and Tours kay Imee Oro, na hindi dapat Oro dahil tanso siya,” she fearlessly added.
Lolit then shared the airport incident when they discovered about the travel scam of the travel agency.
“Pagdating namin sa airport, sinalubong pa naman kami ng airport police, ‘Ay, Ma’am, bibiyahe pala kayo!’ Pagpunta namin sa counter, sabi ng PAL clerk, ‘Hindi naman kayo naka-book.’ Wala! Mukha kaming kawawa. Sabi ni Salve Asis, ‘Ay, Nay, nakakahiya, lahat sila nakatingin sa atin. Bayaran ko na lang ng credit card. Mag-booking na lang tayo,'” Lolit recalled.
In the latter part of her statement, Lolit shared how broadcaster Gani Oro tried to emotionally blackmail her.
Ang naloloka ako sa kanya, sinasabi niya na kapag nalaman ng lahat na si Alfred kuripot mag-blowout. Na ang kinuhang tour, yung pinakamura. Hindi yun ang point. Kahit na gaano kamura yun, ang point is nangloko siya. Si Alfred, ang unang ibinigay kay Imee Oro, P100,000, ‘tapos nagdagdag siya ng P50,000 para maiba yung hotel na tutuluyan namin, and then another P200,000 bago kami umalis. Tapos si Salve Asis, nagbayad ng P162,000 sa counter ng PAL para sa plane tickets,” she added.
During the show, the staff of Raffy’ show coordinated Garry Domingo, Business Process and Licensing Office head of Quezon City. It was then revealed that the travel agency has no permit to operate.
“Kumuha siya ng permit sa Quezon City noong 2010, pero hindi siya nag-renew. Ang records namin, so far, dalawa yung opisina niya—isa diyan sa Sacred Heart, sa Don Alfon Building sa Timog, at isa sa Doña Imelda. Pero parehong 2010 lang kinuha, hindi na nila ni-renew pagkatapos. Illegal na, so puwede na nating ipasara ‘yan, Raffy, immediately. Gagawa agad ako ngayon ng mission order para mapapuntahan ko sa tao ko at maipasarado immediately,” Garry Domingo revealed.
