This document details how immigration attorney Joel Bander was falsely accused of sexual assault in the Philippines in 2006. A woman named Myrna Tiu paid for Bander to consult with a "Christina San Jose" but then fabricated a story accusing him of misconduct. Several newspapers published false stories about legal charges against Bander, and attempts were made to extort money from him to make the false accusations go away. Bander refused to pay bribes and was ultimately acquitted when the facts came to light. The document alleges the scheme was orchestrated by enemies of Bander in the U.S. to damage his reputation.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

4. On July 13, 2006, Atty. Joel Bander was in Manila
providing immigration consultation services when he
received an e-mail from Myrna Ang Tiu. The e-mail stated
that she desired an immigration consultation for herself
and seven (7) friends with similar issues. Bander had
earlier advertised his consultation services in the Los
Angeles editions of Asian Journal, which then and now is
the largest Filipino-American newspaper, and where he
was then serving as legal counsel.
3/15/2012 James Beirne Scam 4
5. Based on a deposition made by Lotis Rosario, who was Bander‟s
legal assistant in Manila, a law student at San Beda College,
who has since passed the Philippine Bar and now serves as law
clerk for the Philippines Court of Appeals, Ms. Tiu arrived a few
days later with only one (1) client who called herself „Christina
San Jose.‟ Ms. Tiu paid for „San Jose‟s‟ consultation fee of $100.
The meeting room was less than one meter away from the
reception area. Ms. Rosario recalled that during the meeting, she
went into the consultation room to bring Mr Bander tea.
“Nothing unusual was happening; it was an uneventful
consultation, with Christina San Jose leaving the room smiling,
almost laughing.” Little did Bander and Rosario know at the
time that „San Jose‟ was happy because she „thought‟ she had
made some quick money.
3/15/2012 James Beirne Scam 5
6. Meanwhile, Myrna Tiu (this is her real name) then consulted with
Atty. Bander about processing her immigration visa. She made
another appointment to meet Bander the next day at the EDSA
Shangrila Hotel to pay the retainer fee. But she did not show up. Ms.
Rosario recalled that when she called Ms. Tiu to inquire about her
arrival, the latter was “shocked” to find out that the legal assistant
was also in the meeting to accompany Atty Bander. Rosario thought
the response was odd.
At that point, Bander considered the matter closed and flew home to
Los Angeles. But unbeknownst to both he and Ms. Rosario a devious
plan had been hatched to make up a sexual story to malign his good
reputation.
3/15/2012 James Beirne Scam 6
7. Then, in the July 27, 2007 edition of Manila Standard, a news report that
“sex charges” were filed against „consular officer‟ Joel Bander appeared,
obviously paid for by people out to ruin his reputation. That story was
followed by another news story in the August 5, 2006 issue of
People‟s Tonight, written by Allan Begornia, who called Bander a
„trader‟ and claiming that charges were filed in Branch 73 of the
Taguig Trial Court.
But the real, hard truth is that there is no Branch 73 at the Taguig Court.
And there was never any case in the Taguig Trial Court, even though
Balita Media, through its obedient executive editor keeps repeating a
baseless and non-existent „sexual assault‟ case stories filed against
Bander. The stories, by their inaccuracies, were total fabrications
and assuredly paid for, as is the rampant practice in some less
reputable newspapers in Manila and written by reporters with
less than sterling journalism ethics.
3/15/2012 James Beirne Scam 7
9. A Manila investigator for PinoyWatchDog.com who interviewed
People‟s Tonight reporter Allan Begornia, admitted, after a few
shots of hard liquor, that he was paid about $200 to write the
Bander sex scandal story, and whoever it was that approached
him to write the story really hated Bander with a passion. It was
this highly trained investigator‟s opinion that Begornia was an
alcoholic. After this brouhaha reached People‟s Tonight
management, the tabloid made a retraction and fired reporter
Begornia.
A few days after September 8, 2006, Ms. Rosario, Bander‟s Manila
legal assistant, received a call from someone professing to be
Christina San Jose‟s brother. He said that the articles in the
newspapers were all part of a plan to smear Joel Bander‟s name in
the Philippines and that the source of this campaign came from
the U.S. The caller further claimed that his „sister‟ was not paid,
as promised, by this group. Hence „San Jose‟ wanted to retract the
false accusations against Bander.

10. “This is a set-up”:
Amb. Raul Rabe
“It was obvious this was a setup from the start,” said Ambassador
Raul Rabe, who had worked with Bander organizing and helping
Filipino World War II veterans during the late 1990s, and has
remained Bander‟s friend. “I wanted to help Atty. Bander, who did
so much for war veterans over the years,” Rabe said. His law office
in Manila initially undertook the legal representation of Bander,
and developed an overwhelming case demonstrating that the
complaint was a fraud and a set-up. However, even with his firm‟s
influence, the rampant corruption in the Philippines won the day
until the Aquino administration came into office and Bander was
ultimately acquitted.
3/15/2012 James Beirne Scam 10
11. His case was made even stronger when:
* „San Jose‟ provided a false address, an abandoned
warehouse/factory space;
* Ms. Rosario still had the receipt of the person identifying herself
as „Christina San Jose‟. However, the signature on the Complaint
Sheet at the fiscal‟s office was very different than the one on the
receipt.
Despite Balita‟s repeated and malicious publication of this story
without regards for responsible, truthful and ethical journalism,
Bander had placed himself before the court in the fall of 2006 by
requesting a formal Reinvestigation, which the court granted. He
appeared at the Manila fiscal‟s office, but the “fictitious” „San
Jose‟ did not appear. “I was amazed how pathetic the Manila
Fiscal‟s office looked,” recounted Bander. “They did not even have
a phone or a computer at their desks.”
3/15/2012 James Beirne Scam 11
12. “Everyone Wanted a Bribe”
Rabe‟s law firm then filed a Petition for Review with the
Philippine Department of Justice in October 2007, with Bander
further placing himself within the structures of the Philippine
Justice system, despite Rhony Laigo‟s claim that Bander was
“making a mockery of Philippine justice system.” After six
months inquiries were made and a meeting was set up through
the assistance of a congressional office. “I was quite surprised
to be meeting with about four (4) Justice Department officials,
and a couple of congressional aides,” Bander recalls. “Then the
bigger guy showed up. I think he was head of finance. We ate
and talked about the case. I thanked everyone, paid for the
food and left. Afterwards, my then attorney, Lloyd Nonato,
told me these officials wanted money too, about $3000. I was
incensed, but continued to refuse to pay these bribes.”
3/15/2012 James Beirne Scam 12
13. In the meantime, Balita‟s executive editor, Rhony Laigo, was
instructed by his bosses, Anthony Allen and Luchie Mendoza-
Allen, to fly to Manila and obtain a Hold Departure Order from
the Bureau of Immigration through the help of his friends and
former colleagues at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport beat.
After Laigo reportedly bribed his way to obtaining a Hold
Departure Order, Bander‟s lawyer, Lloyd Nonato obtained a
personal appointment with the Immigration Commissioner on
October 29, 2009. He described to the commissioner how the
charges were fabricated and was a big hoax.
The commissioner directed Nonato to his aides, who asked for
$4000 to lift the HDO. “At this point,” Bander recalls, “I decided to
wait for the end of the Arroyo administration, as I will not pay
bribes.”
3/15/2012 James Beirne Scam 13
14. Aquino Wins
In August 2010, after Noynoy Aquino was elected president,
Bander traveled to Manila, and with the assistance
of prominent attorney Sig Fortun the HDO was removed
without the payment of any bribes, and a few months later
Bander was acquitted by the trial court. “I want to state,”
Bander said, “that at no time did anyone from the court in any
way ask for a bribe, nor did anyone even intimate that I
should.” Joel Lucanan was the Manila Trial Court judge.
“From my few times in court, Judge Lucanan treated everyone
with dignity and fairness, even though he was just handling
minor matters,” Bander added.
3/15/2012 James Beirne Scam 14
15. Atty. Sig Fortun told PinoyWatchDog.com, “I represented Atty.
Bander as a brethren who has helped so many Filipinos.
I did not want him to think that Filipino Justice is so corrupt.”
However, corrupt elements of the Philippine American
Media that only wish Attorney Bander harm continue to
discuss this criminal case as if the underlying facts have
any basis in truth, or that Bander somehow was running
from even a corrupt criminal justice system.
