Chavit Singson's tape FAKE

From the PCIJ Blog:

IF there’s such a thing as a "smoking tape," this is not the one. This one’s a dud.

Chavit Singson and rocker RJ Jacinto could have done a better job by getting professional advice from one of the music pirates at Makati Cinema Square, sound experts whom we talked to say. The alleged phone call, all of 41 seconds where Estrada supposedly plots the assassination of Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, is "such an amateur job that the pirates are considering suing them," quips Gerry Kaimo, an audiophile and independent record producer.

We know this CD is spurious and are only making the "Chavit X-Tapes" downloadable from this blog for your weekend entertainment pleasure.

LOL. What did I tell you, eh?

Walang dudang peke ang tape o compact disc (CD) na iprinisinta kamakalawa ni Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis ‘Chavit’ Sing-son na naglala-man ng diuma-no’y usapan nina dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada at dating Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief of staff retired Gen. Joselin Nazareno upang guluhin ang gobyerno at isa sa plano diumano ay ilikida si Pangulong Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo at maging si dating Pangulong Fidel Ramos.

Binigyan-diin kahapon ni Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile na halatang-halatang pinagdugtung-dugtong o pinagtagpi-tagpi lamang ng source ni Singson ang mga bahagi ng pag-uusap, partikular ang pagsingit ng diumano’y ‘kill-GMA plot’ sa pinalilitaw na wiretapped conversation.

Kahit si Sen. Panfilo Lacson ay nagsabing halata ang pagkakadoktor ng tape.
“Na-perfect na kasi nila ang pag-splice ng usapan. Ito na ang practice nila,” anang senador. “Mukhang spliced ang isang track. Alam ko track 6 ‘yan, pangalawa sa huli. Biglang luminaw, biglang lumihis sa usapan. Nawala sa election,” dagdag pa ni Lacson.

Pati administration Congressmen walang tiwala kay Chabby Chavit. Tapos, sabi pa ni Sen. Loi at Jinggoy Estrada na magre-resign sila kung authentic yung tape ni Chavit re Erap planning to assasinate Arroyo.

"Handa ako at ang aking anak na si Jinggoy na magresign sa Senado kung mapapatunayan na nag-utos si Pangulong Erap na ipa-assassinate sina Mrs. Arroyo at Presidente Ramos," Sen. Loi said in a radio interview.

Atapang Senadora ah! Kaya ba ni GMA magbigay ng pledge na ganyan?

And here's Lito Banayo on the Chavit tape:

Meanwhile, after threatening secession and getting a "who cares?" attitude from the "imperial" Manila which pays the sin taxes that makes his province survive, El Duque de Nueva Segovia came rushing down from the Baluarte de Fernandina to unveil yet another tape, allegedly coming from the "mother of all tapes".

Señor Don Luis Singson "el Chavit", beside the beaming producer, Mike Arroyo’s brother-in-law Ramon "RJ" Jacinto, the ageing kilabot ng mga kolehiyala two generations ago, unveiled their tape before the press.

And what did Chavit and RJ’s tape say? A conversation between an ex-president and an ex-AFP chief of staff about the results of Mindanao elections in some provinces in 2004. So far removed from the conversation of incumbent President Gloria and incumbent Commissioner Garci. Plus a bonus of a clearly spliced, clearly fabricated voice of a young person talking about imagined plots of juntas and the terminal extermination of a certain "pandak" and an Erap sound-alike saying nothing but "Oo, oo".

Chavit seemed ill at ease in that press conference, even more in Mare at Pare’s Debate yesterday morning.

He had volunteered to sing, a la Pagliacci, an operetta of the classic fool.

Kawawa naman ang Malacañang. Naubusan na ng palusot, gumigimik naman ngayon ng imbento. Still and all, I have to take my hat off to Chavit, steadfast to the last. How much did that caper cost the people’s money?

Kawawang Malacanang.
