MANILA, Philippines - The latest attack against presidential candidate Sen.
Manny Villar floundered after an e-mail purportedly showing the senator's
opulent mansion in Salt Lake City, Utah in the United States turned out to be a
hoax.
The e-mail, titled "Who owns a house like this?", was sent to several
e-groups and forwarded to the ABS-CBN news desk earlier this week. The e-mail
was prefaced with the question: "Imagine who would have such taste and live in
such opulence?" and then showed various pictures of the alleged mansion, which
had lavish Victorian-style interiors.
At the end of the e-mail, the sender
then identifies the owner of the mansion as Sen. Villar.
"While Filipinos
starve, and die because of abject poverty and while Sen. Villar brags that he
had poor beginnings and he had helped his poor countrymen over and over again...
but look now.. he and his family live like this, his GREED kills his poverty
stricken fellow Filipinos," the e-mail read.
A check on the Snopes.com
website, which investigates urban legends and forwarded e-mail rumors, however,
showed that the e-mail has been circulating as early as 2008 and that the
mansion was first linked to Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe.
A copy of
the e-mail about Mugabe's mansion also had the same wording as the recent e-mail
about Villar, with minor changes to make it appear that it was written for a
Filipino audience.
The Snopes website said that the mansion is not in Salt
Lake City but in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles. It also noted that the
mansion has been extensively photographed because it is sometimes used as a site
for TV shows and films.
Snopes also revealed that the mansion has been
linked to various personalities such as former Nigerian military ruler Ibrahim
Babangida, Indian film star Shahrukh Khan, and Edir Macedo, founder of the
Universal Church of the Kingdom of God.
In a phone interview, Nacionalista
Party spokesman Gilbert Remulla downplayed the latest attempt to besmirch the
reputation of Villar.
"Who would want to buy a mansion in Salt Lake City?
Are there papers to support it?" he said, adding that there was absolutely no
truth to the rumor.
He added: "The campaign being waged by Villar's
opponents reaches record lows everyday, starting with the false associations of
'Villaroyo.' It only shows that his opponents are insecure and desperate. We
pray that they campaign on platforms and capabilities rather than mudslinging."
At least one of those who forwarded the e-mail about Villar has apologized.
Domingo Guevara Jr. of the Guevara Group of Companies apologized to the Villar
camp for forwarding the bogus e-mail to his contacts. He said he issued his
apology "not because I support Villar but I wish to be fair to all concerned."
Mudslinging against Villar
The e-mail hoax is the latest in a series of
attempts to spread black propaganda against the Nacionalista Party
standard-bearer.
Earlier this month, an e-mail sent to news organizations by
a certain duwagsatondo@gmail.com
said Villar would allegedly hold a press conference at the NP headquarters in
Mandaluyong City.
The e-mail sender said Villar will talk about his campaign
expenses and even hinted at an alleged romantic relationship between him and his
vice presidential candidate, Loren Legarda.
The e-mail then ends with a note
that journalists covering the event should go to NP Senator “Allan Cayetano” to
get their envelopes.” It then lists the amounts to be received by the reporters,
which range from P1,000-P3,000, depending on the media organizations they
represent. (Read:
