UPDATED: Ramon "RJ" Jacinto buking!

Ellen Tordesillas got a letter re RJ Jacinto:

“Ininterview si Chavit Singson sa DZBB. Nang tanungin kung bakit kasama niya si RJ Jacinto (who owns a recording studio), sagot niya, hindi niya alam. Pagdating daw niya sa presscon nandoon na si RJ Jacinto.

“Ngunit nang ininterview si RJ Jacinto sa isang himpilan ng radio, sinabi niya inimbita siya ni Chavit Singson at hindi niya alam na ilalabas ang CD. Inulit ni Chavit ang kanyang version sa interview kina Korina Sanchez at Ted Failon sa DZMM. Pagkatapos noon, tinawagan nila si RJ at sinabi ang version ni Chavit. Nabigla siya at iba na naman ang version. Sinabi niya na may nagyaya na kung sino sa kanya sa presscon na ‘yun at bigla na lang siyang pinatabi kay Chavit. Tatlo silang magkatabi: Chavit, RJ at isa pang nagtatrabaho sa RJ Station.

“Ha! Ha! Ha! Nasira ang script nila.

“Eto pa. Nakita sa GMA News mga limang oras bago mag-presscon sina Chavit at RJ, nandoon sila sa Malacañang at nakita silang nag-uusap nina undersecretary Serge Remonde and Lupita Kashiwahara. Nakakahiya sila.”

HULI KA!!!

UPDATE: More on RJ Jacinto

Alecks Pabico of the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism said Chavit’s X-tape which was made allegedly with the help of aging rocker Ramon RJ Jacinto, was so amateurishly done, it’s an "insult to pirates."

Chavit, claimed that it was part of the Sammy Ong and Allan Paguia tapes. Hello? Where was he all these weeks when it had been established that it was Garcillano who was wiretapped. Where is Garcillano in the X-tape?

The choice of RJ to accompany Singson in presenting the X-tape didn’t help in the credibility aspect. RJ is the former brother-in-law of Mike Arroyo. His first wife is the sister of Mike.

Jacinto owns radio station DZRJ and RJTV located at Ventures Bldg. on Makati Avenue which propagated anti-Erap materials at the height of Edsa Dos in 2001 and anti-FPJ slogans during the 2004 election campaign. A DZRJ staff said they noticed many visitors and heightened activities in the studio the past two weeks. One even remarked that there seemed to be "an infusion of funds."

Jacinto’s record as a businessman is far from spotless. As vice-chairman of the flagship committee during the Ramos administration, Jacinto was reported to have obtained P2.9 billion from the Philippine National Bank (PNB) in 1996 and P400 million from the Land Bank in 1994 under questionable circumstances.
