Appreciation for time and energy saved and funds spent

UPDATE (07.22.13):  The public reply to our letters continues as seven (7) pages of paper were just delivered on the 35th floor.  They had been making a four page double-sided copy with all 7 pages but this changed.  I guess they wanted Unit Owners to have room for notes on the back.  Once again, for all those that have not received copies go to the 4th admin office and get a copy.  Ryan & I would once again thank the Board for their time and energy saving us money for advertising the online blog and forum.  There has been an increase in readership and responses we very much appreciate.

 

Appreciation for time and energy saved and funds spent

Ryan and I would like to thank the Soho Central Condominium Corporation (SCCC) currently constituting a developer-appointed, unelected Board of Directors/Trustees as represented by their Residential Areas Committee for the advertisement of our endless efforts and the recognition of the online forum(s).  There are actually two websites regularly written to with others being posted for information to be clearly understood by many sectors.

The excess time and energy it would have taken to properly gain greater attention was accomplished much more rapidly with the advertisement being free for us though at great cost to the dues paying Unit Owners who are all members of the SCCC.  The burden of the cost for the open letter that is a reply to 17 letters from Ryan & I was lifted from our shoulders and placed on that of the Unit Owners by the Board using its power and authority at their many meetings and subsequent decisions.

We would like to thank Buenhijo F. Diaz (Unit 2719, Buenhijo.Diaz@interpublic.com ), Ma. Zenaida M. Garcia (Unit 3921, ma.zenaida.garcia@gmail.com ), and Ma. Consolacion J. Tiotuico (Unit 1623,  soljay@yahoo.com ) for your time and spending the money to publicize for us.  All three are Directors though their proper designations are not written next to their names on the publicity ad.

Ryan and I would now like to encourage all Unit Owners, members of SCCC, to go to the administration office on the 4^th floor and get your 4-page double sided copy.  There are 886 units, I believe, and you need to get your copy soon.  If there are any questions, please ask us.

There will be a future message with our responses to the reply covering 17 letters from late November early December 2012.  Thank you.

The following are responses to the Open Letter sent by the Board members with SCCC money.
 

The first reply below is a compilation of 9 unit owner messages sent to a list member then sent to the facebook list for SOHO Central.
 

"We would like to thank the 3 who revealed to us the very controversial and much talked about couple, George DeCarlo and Ryan Reyes, who were right in exposing on the blogs what we are not aware of.  We thank them for the effort together with their friends and other owners like us who are so very much disappointed on how our hard earned income is being used to pay the association dues which are manipulated and misused without conscience and consideration nor sympathy for our daily efforts to raise extra money to be able to comply with the responsibility of what is due us investors/owners of Soho Central Private Residences.

We have also seen the pictures of what the lobby looks like, the worn out chairs way back 2009 that already need replacement to give an ambiance of good reception to everyone, the roll up blinds which had not been fix so that it can all be rolled up to conserve electricity wherein payment comes from us unit owners/investors.  The elevator wherein the RAC report stated all their denial and passing on to whoever is responsible.   Our question is - as unit owners are we not all responsible for the building wherein our own units are located?  The 3 who claim to represent us owners are owners themselves however we cannot accept everything that they have written in the RAC due factual information we have been tracking from the blogs and our own relatives and balikbayan owners who confirm what is in the blog.

In addition, the open letter which was scanned and sent to us must only be for your addressee and that the dispute between you 3 and the addressees ought to be dealt with in a professional way AND NOT waste our money to print your answers and response to all of us unit owners/investors.  We condemn your stupid move to spend our earnings paid to association dues, vat and daily interest with a motive to destroy the personalities of Mr George DeCarlo and Ryan Reyes as well as an unidentified broker whom we know since we were present in last year’s annual meeting.  We have been aware of all the issues that transpired through the blog and skycrapercity and we are so disgusted, annoyed and convinced that you 3 are not qualified to represent us owners nor are our Proxy forms to be used to vote or retain you.

from us: names withheld for our own personal reason as the 3 of you too did not specify your designation in that shit open letter

and it is our right to voice out how we all felt for all that you 3 have done to represent us as owners of Soho Central."

"To : 3 RAC
From : Owner of 5 condo units at SOHO Central
Re : Refund of Print Out Expenses"

"My husband and I own 5 condo units and spend for Assoc Dues, Vat, Insurance, Common Area Tax plus the daily interest is no joke.  Yes, it is none of your concern since we bought it from Century on the golden promises of having a profitable investment with good management service, high quality facilities, etc.

Upon reading the forwarded comments and grievances from my co-unit owners at Soho, I was so shocked on how you 3 decided to use the funds at Soho Accounting wherein they claim you have rights. What right are you speaking of whereas we were never informed of anything.  We were never told of what plans you have, worst we were not told that you will print out all those oh yes "shit" letters and distribute them to all the units.  Are you insane?  Most of us unit owners are not residing in Soho and we are out of the country trying to earn enough to sustain for our needs. What right have you to use those funds then.  Did you solicit our advice?  Did Accounting email us that you RAC will deduct from the funds and spend it to fight back and destroy or finally crash Mr George de Carlo and Ryan Reyes and others together with them?  Your ill motives have triggered my madness to write this as a petition for you to REFUND to us owners what is due us. Or better still, REFUND TO CEASAR WHAT IS DUE CEASAR!

As for the comments that you are not at all qualified to represent us owners, may I ask. . . who voted for you?  I was informed there was no quorum in last year annual meeting and I even listened to the youtube about it.  And pretty sure you want to find out from Accounting who owned 5 units, then rest back on me and my husband like what you did to George and Ryan.  How old are you guys?  Is being in the RAC something like showbiz?  True enough the comments that you 3 are NOT QUALIFIED to represent us owners must end effective today if I may vote on that, but before you go and keep your mouth shut, please refund all that you spent for that funds came from Accounting and you 3 used our money for your OWN VESTED INTEREST and not for the good of all.

For George and Ryan and your very supportive unit owner friends and others, thank you and we revolt with you against all this CORRUPTION going on in our building.  No one will sit in a position with "hot seat" without receiving any centavo or penny.  That is bullshit!  Please keep on posting what we need to know.  Again our vote is - effective immediately upon reading this letter from us, the 3 must close their doors and work on their own lives and refund every centavo they withdrew from BDO through the approval of our incapable accounting staffs as well as the officers involved.

Same as the others, our names as husband and wife withheld like the 3 without designation in the open letter and whose names are in the picture of the missing chair."
