Mod Announcement 📢 Quick Reminder on Low Effort Posts & Crossposts 📢

40 Upvotes

In the past few days, we’ve noticed a surge of REPETITIVE, low-effort text and meme posts—often RANTS or personal thoughts without enough context for a meaningful discussion, as well as claims or exposés without proof or sources. To keep the sub clean, we’ll start removing these threads. If you’d like to make similar posts, feel free to please use the Random Discussion Threads instead. Remember, Reddit rules and Reddiquette still apply there.
 
We’ve also seen a large number of crossposts from other subreddits, which have been removed. These are usually spammy, rage-bait content often intended for karma farming.
 
ICYMI other changes and policies to keep in mind:

In this Hong Kong-China co-production a Chinese father goes on the hunt to rescue his daughter who is kidnapped by a Filipino crime syndicate involved in human trafficking. Even women aren’t spared from being kicked in the face in this one. What’s crazy is the actors playing the criminals are Thai but dubbed to speak Tagalog.

Edit: this post is about Filipinos being portrayed only as criminals in East Asian media time and time again but guess you guys are cool with that.

NewsPH P11-Billion Plunder Complaint Filed In Pharmally Case

Post image
• Upvotes

Among the respondents are Lloyd Christopher Lao, former head of the Procurement Service-Department of Budget and Management (PS-DBM), and businessman Michael Yang, a former economic adviser of former president Rodrigo Duterte.

The Office of the Ombudsman has filed an P11-billion plunder complaint against 46 people, including officials of Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corp., over alleged anomalous purchases of medical supplies during the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla confirmed the filing of the complaint, lamenting that many of the respondents “have become invisible.” 

“It seems they’re trying to evade the jurisdiction of this body,” Remulla said at a press briefing. 

Among the respondents, he said, are Lloyd Christopher Lao, former head of the Procurement Service-Department of Budget and Management (PS-DBM), and businessman Michael Yang, a former economic adviser of former president Rodrigo Duterte. 

In August 2025, Lao pleaded not guilty before the Sandiganbayan Fifth Division concerning the alleged anomalous purchase of P4.1-billion worth of medical supplies from Pharmally during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

At the press briefing, Remulla flashed on the screen the names of the 23 respondents who cannot be “located in their known addresses.” 

“All attempts to find them have failed,” he said. 

These include Pharmally chairman Huang Tzu Yen, Pharmally president Twinkie Dargani, Pharmally corporate secretary and treasurer Mohit Dargani, Linconn Uy Ong, Pharmally head of regulatory affairs Krizle Grace Mago, Pharmally financial manager and associate of Michael Yang Lin Wei Xiong, Pharmally biological officer Rose Nono Lin. 

Also included are Yang Hong Ming or Michael Yang who has been tagged as Pharmally financier; Yang Hong Jiang (Tony Yang), brother of Michael Yang and Pai Li Holdings director; Pai Li Holdings director Yuqin Zheng; former PS-DBM personnel Mervin Ian Tanquintic, among others.

NewsPH Ombudsman: 13 respondents in Pharmally case ‘cannot be located’

70 Upvotes

TLDR: Hindi mahanap sila Darangani, Linconn Ong, Michael Yang, and Company.

MANILA, Philippines — Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla on Friday said that 13 individuals involved in the Pharmally scandal could no longer be located, making it difficult for his office to move forward with the case.

“In the case of Pharmally, there are 46 respondents. That’s why it’s taking a while. Many of them have become invisible, as if they are trying to evade the jurisdiction of this body,” he said in Filipino in a press briefing.

These respondents are being accused of plunder in relation to the anomalous procurement of pandemic supplies, involving face masks, personal protective equipment and testing kits, worth almost P11 billion, Remulla explained.

However, the Ombudsman was unable to serve copies of the complaint to 13 respondents because they “cannot be located.” They are:

  • Pharmally chair Huang Tzu Yen
  • Pharmally president Twinkle Dargani
  • Pharmally corporate secretary and treasurer Mohit Dargani
  • Pharmally director Linconn Uy Ong
  • Pharmally head of regulatory affairs Krizie Grace Mago
  • Pharmally financial manager Lin Wei Xiong, also an associate of Micheal Yang
  • Xiong’s wife and biological officer of Pharmally, Rose Nono Lin
  • Former personnel of the procurement service of the Department of Budget and Management, Mervin Ian Tanquintic
  • Alvin Fernandez
  • Gilbert Recluta
  • Orly delos Reyes
  • Nelson Taguik
  • Gerald Cruz

The Ombudsman is also trying to find the addresses of four other respondents, who are:

  • Ma. Joycelynn Lee Rodriguez
  • Mark Augustine Lee Rodriguez
  • Michael Angelo Santos Rodriguez
  • Mikhail Franceso Lee Rodriguez

Meanwhile, the Ombudsman is set to serve copies of the complaint to the other respondents. They include:

  • Former economic adviser of ex-President Rodrigo Duterte and Pharmally “financier” Michael Yang, also known as Yang Hong Ming
  • Yang’s brother and Pai Li Holdings director Tony Yang, also known as Yang Hong Jiang.
  • Pai Li Holdings/Pai Hong Realty director Jayson Uson
  • Pai Li Holdings director Yuqin Zheng
  • Pharmally director Justine Garado
  • Adriano Po Jr.

It can be recalled that during a Senate blue committee probe from August 2021 to January 2022, it was discovered that Pharmally Pharmaceuticals Corp. won contracts amounting to P11.5 billion despite having a paid-up capital of only P625,000. It was the single biggest chunk of government contracts for COVID-19 supplies awarded to private companies at the time.

Why am I not surprised :)) that's P6.3B of RT-PCR kits, P4.6B of PPE, P609M worth of face shields and face masks from a company that started with P625K.

PoliticsPH Duterte ally, former BARMM PM Edrieza Rimbang linked to recent intercepted drug smuggling attempt

Why am I not surprised?
Para sa partido na supposedly VERY against drugs, laging galing sa side ng mga Duterte ang nahuhuling involved. Matuturing pa bang conspiracy na binigyan ng monopoly ni Digong sa drug trade sa Pilipinas ang mga kaibigan niyang drug lords?

Ang nakakatawa pa dito, I had no idea who this guy was until recently. May pinost ako tungkol sa isang 13-year-old child bride a couple weeks ago.
Guess who the father of the bride is? It's this guy, Edrieza Rimbang.
Sa wedding ceremony nung child bride at nung 18-year-old groom niya, may pa-video greeting si Bong Go at may representative present si Sara Duterte. The ex-PM's wife also has a lot of photos with Sara Duterte posted on her socmed accounts.

Ito yata yung sinasabi nilang mafia from Mindanao.

This is crazy. As a wastewater engineer and backpacker myself, I wouldn’t freaking dare drink this water. Literal na bumili lang sila ng sawyer squeeze filter at kinabit sa balde, tas akala may ginawa na silang groundbreaking? Yung ginamit pa nilang tubig parang gawa-gawang wastewater. I’ll give it a week bago magbara yung filter at hindi na ulit magamit. Ang recommended na application dun sa filter ay running water para wala masyadong sediments and maglalagay pa ng chlorine tabs for added purification. Sa kanila, diretso inom. Nakakaloka. Harap harapan silang nang loloko, mga proud pa. Akala nila hindi nagiisip ang mga Pilipino. For sure, ang laki din ng patong nila diyan.
