A Dose Of His Own Medicine

The table was turned, and Divine Justice had its way of "reminding the abusers of their excesses." Heaven has its way of making someone remember their actions or behaviors that went far past the limits of what is considered acceptable, reasonable, or moral.

During the 2020 House hearings on ABS-CBN's franchise renewal, Representative Rodante Marcoleta insisted that ABS-CBN had tax deficiencies and had not been paying the correct amount of taxes to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). He claimed the network "hid" the right amount of taxes it owed, often through its subsidiary, Big Dipper. 

He continued his nonstop rant to please HIS Lordship in Malacanang, despite the BIR testifying in Congress that ABS-CBN was a compliant taxpayer, had paid all its taxes, and did not owe any for the covered periods.

Netizens flooded Marcoleta's Facebook with pleas —almost a supplication —to grant ABS-CBN its franchise (that was pandemic ... hello ... and a lockdown), and people depended only on ABS-CBN for news and entertainment.

But Marcoleta has a wooden heart, and that did not even touch his heart, nor did he show signs that he was moved and felt sorry for the people's dilemma. The people's request fell on deaf ears ... and there was not a single iota of compassion ... or sympathy (was seen coming his way) for the Filipino people's misery.

He was callous ... he showed no concern or sorrow for the people's suffering, even though the COVID atmosphere was stifling and the potential for suicide was great. What was important for them was that the President was happy, and he kept true to his vindictive promise.

Well, the tables were turned. He looks like he is getting now a dose of his own medicine. Kung nakita natin kung gaano ka-estrikto ang Lolo ninyo sa ABS-CBN kahit SAGIP representative siya ... wala man lang siyang SINAGIP sa mga tao ... when everybody was bored sa kanilang pagkakulong sa bahay at inip na inip na sila dahil wala man lang magawa ... pati ba naman ang paboritong estasyon ng bayan ipapasara na lang ... dahil utos ng mayor?

BIR na nagsasabi na walang tax problem ang media mogul ... kung anong utang ang kanyang pinagsasabi? 

Well Bilyonaryo News Channel is now asking questions na si Marcoleta lang ang makasagot tungkol sa kanyang SALN.

He declared a net worth of P51.9 million in his 2025 Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth.

Yet when he ran as senator this year, his official campaign report was another story, as he spent P112.8 million, all declared as his personal money, and take note ... he has not received a single contribution from anybody, whether cash or in kind.

So Bilyonaryo is now asking: How did Marcoleta spend P112M with a meshly 52M net worth?

Ayan ... ayaw mo noong mabudol ka ng ABS-CBN noon sa taxes at sa BIR... pakisagot lang ang Bilyonaryo kung may pambubudol din ang iyon SALN?

It just doesn't add up!
