A Philippines judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job.

Florentino Floro was appealing against a three-year inquiry which led to his removal due to incompetence and bias.

He told investigators three mystic dwarves - Armand, Luis and Angel - had helped him to carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers.

The court said psychic phenomena had no place in the judiciary.

The bench backed a medical finding that the judge was suffering from psychosis.

'Dwarf dalliance'

The Manila trial judge had asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the complaint and return him to the bench, after being sacked in April.

From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal
-Florentino Floro

"They should not have dismissed me for what I believed," Mr Floro told reporters after filing his appeal in May.

The judge said he had made a covenant with his dwarf friends that he could write while in a trance and that he had been seen by several people in two places at the same time.

Judge Floro reportedly changed from blue court robes to black each Friday "to recharge his psychic powers".

In a letter to the court he said: "From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal."

However, the Supreme Court said dalliance with dwarves would gradually erode the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule.

What the hell?

and yet religion does?

I want a magical mystery dwarf judge.

I want it now!!

Dont we all .....dont we all

I wonder what kind of dwarves we are discussing?

Are they more like the friendly yet mischievious gnomes?

Or the tough, hardened folk of fantasy lore?

Perhaps folks with dwarfism?

Or maybe they're in their own class, being mystical and all.

I personally envisioned Oompa Loompas.

Judge Floro Florentino is not too pleased with his three spiritual guides being referred to as dwarves or duende, as superstitious Filipinos call these elf-like beings. His brother, who first saw them, called them duende, a Spanish word of ambiguous definition.

To Filipinos, they are something like tiny magical goblins who live in forested areas. There are, according to folklore, two types: black, denoting evil which can harm, and red, who are good and can heal. On the island of Mindoro , the Mangyan tribe claim to trade with the few remaining duende for forest products. They are said to be extremely shy because of the violence that has been done

Then there are the nocturnal Agta, tall black men who also hang out in the forests, while the Batibat, found in Ilocos, look like fat women who live inside posts, and suffocate people by sitting on top of them.

The bovine-like Mantahungal have fearsome teeth, the Pugot are self-beheading multi-formed creatures, and the Tikbalang are centaurs in reverse. These and many more magical creatures - some invisible, some half-human, half- animal - are all said to inhabit the Philippine countryside.


Florentino and the three dwarves

Saturday, September 02, 2006


A Filipino judge who was dismissed from the bench because of his ongoing relationship with invisible mystics meets with Sam Chambers to explain his side of the story.

The Philippine judiciary has oft been the butt of a joke but never before has one of its members caused so much mirth as Judge Floro Florentino and his three invisible dwarves.

Judge Florentino and the dwarves - Luis, Armand and Angel - might sound like a good name for a band but they are in fact the main characters in a surreal tale from a nation famous for its superstitions.

Last month, the trial judge lost his final appeal to keep his job, with the Supreme Court's 72-page ruling stating that Florentino's "dalliance" with Luis, Armand and Angel showed he had a "medically disabling condition of the mind" that rendered him "unfit to discharge the functions of his office" which in turn could "erode the public's esteem of the judiciary" and make it an "object of ridicule."

Florentino and I arrange to meet at what seems the most apt of places to discuss such matters - the Hobbit Bar on Mabene St in the Manila district of Malate. Charitably offering employment for the vertically challenged, it has been a tourist attraction for more than 10 years.

Florentino's three sidekicks, or "spiritual guides" as he prefers them to be called, take many different forms. Luis is the "king of kings" or "God's angel," while Armand is a beautiful boy who, like Luis, has wings. Angel is their sister. Florentino has on
ly seen Luis once - on a rock in the middle of the Philippine archipelago. Luis communicates and uses his powers via violet and white lights.

Florentino peers over the bar and orders a bottle of Australian shiraz but shows no sign of recognition - it seems that Luis, Armand and Angel are not among the diminutive presences to serve us. Moments later a pudgy hand holding a 2003 vintage appears out of nowhere; two glasses follow, as if by levitation, from beneath the bar.

Looking 10 years younger than his 53 years, Florentino comes across as remarkably lucid. For sure he rambles in a high-pitched tone, often going off on tangents, yet the psychosis the Supreme Court claims he has is not immediately apparent.

Fame, or infamy, clearly is something this otherwise shy man seems to enjoy. He comes to the interview armed with 300 pages of clippings and court appeals. He says, with no small relish, that he and his three cohorts have appeared in more than 66 media titles and 1,000 blogs.

One such blogger described Florentino as a Filipino X-Man for his efforts to rid the country's judiciary of corruption. In 1995 a Supreme Court commission found that more than 50 percent of judges received bribes, something Florentino has been determined to wipe out. His area of jurisdiction in Manila was Malabon, a coveted location in which to work, he says, because within a month a judge could become a millionaire, the starting price for any judicial decision being 50,000 pesos (HK$7,640).

"Court starts at 11am; at 11.05am (the judges) go for golf," he quips. He shows even less mercy in his judgment of the Court of Appeals: "They say it is 85 percent corrupt," he muses, "It is 100 percent corrupt."

Florentino initially trained to become a priest and was just a young teenager when he joined a seminary in 1965. He transferred to a Jesuit institution a few years later but then left to enter the legal profession. His life changed forever, he says, on June 2, 1983 - the day his father died. It was on that day that Luis, Armand and Angel made themselves known to Robert, Florentino's mentally disabled youngest brother.

"My brother, because of his innocence, can see them," he says. Floro Florentino recounts how the dwarves had revealed his healing and psychic powers. At first, he says he was sceptical. An avid gambler - horse racing coupons are mixed in with his press clippings - the dwarves told him to get involved in cockfighting. He bought 13 cockerels, made 21,000 pesos and "suddenly believed them."

Since then he claims to have healed many people, explaining that his hands are golden and impart heat to the afflicted. "I am not a faith healer," he says, "I am gifted."

Though at times in the conversation he bristles at the term psychic, Florentino rates himself as as the country's number five seer. Number one? Ferdinand Marcos, apparently.

Florentino says he predicted Joseph "Erap" Estrada's presidential downfall and prayed that present incumbent Gloria Macapagal Arroyo would survive her endless political battles. Looking ahead, he reckons Arroyo's power will end soon and the nation will suffer as a result.

He'll also have you believe he is a bilocator - someone who can be seen in two different places at the same time, which he acknowledges is also a trick for which the devil is known.

Florentino says such powers do not come without sacrifices and that he has had to remain single or lose his gift of healing: "That's in the Book of Revelations," he adds.

He glances over his shoulder at a child laughing nearby. "You know it's painful for me not to have a kid. That's why I am the Filipino martyr."

Florentino was appointed on November 5, 1998, as the country's youngest judge. It was not the first time he'd tried to become one. Three years earlier the state had failed him for psychological reasons but he was allowed an independent, private mental assessment that cleared him.

His reign as a judge was as bizarre as it was short. Sessions would start with readings from the Book of Revelations; on Fridays he would change from blue robes to black to recharge his powers, and in between hearings he'd provide healing sessions, even for other judges, as well as consulting his trio of "advisers."

Such unorthodoxy brought a swift end to his career and he was suspended in July 1999. So began his seven-year battle to be reinstated, with more than 100 motions tabled, finally ending with the Supreme Court decision. He was paid 1.1 million pesos in back pay, over half of which has already been used to pay debts.

He lists the names of senior judges who have in the past come to him for healing and says these are the same people who turned on him for political reasons, using his paranormal "gifts" as the excuse to get rid of him.

"This is a first in our judicial history - the Philippines Supreme Court has never dismissed or removed a judge because of their belief in the paranormal or religion. Other country's constitutions provide for dismissal or removal of judges, jurists and magistrates because of graft, corruption or misconduct," he insists.

However, Florentino admits to having a darker mission, avenging those who corrupt the legal system. This has led him to be dubbed an angel of death, a description he does not dispute.

At this point I am reminded of the fact that to be a dwarf in the Philippines, or duende as they are known, is not to possess the lovable qualities often attributed to them in fairytales. Rather they are regarded as figures full of malice and violent intent.

Eight judges who Florentino has deemed corrupt have all been struck with serious illnesses, three of them dying. He has, he confesses, been psychically "inflicting illnesses" upon his tormentors, even going so far as to ensure one of them gave birth to a child with epilepsy.

"Armand, Luis and Angel's role is a never-ending fight against `black' or evil; a spiritual battle - the angels versus Lucifer. Right now Satan is winning, God is losing. All our leaders have 666 on their heads from the president down, the Supreme Court, everywhere," he says in his mild, yet animated, manner. "My mission is healing the wounds of the judiciary."

His more immediate goal is to appeal the Supreme Court decision as early as next week. He intends to file a disbarment case against Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. for delaying his case for so long. "I am asking for a job. I am asking for justice," says the spiritual crusader.

Is this just a tall tale of short people? Or is that Luis reaching up to take my credit card? Filipino judges, you have been warned.

Philippine Psychic Judge who talks to 3 mystic dwarfs loses appeal to keep job: Martyr of Filipino Justice will file 2nd Appeal, Disbarment/Administrative Cases before the August 29 Deadline.

hello, LET me quote some of my statements regarding these mystic dwarves, my spirit guides, as ANGELS of GOD ....

Paracelsus,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracelsus

Paracelsus (born 11 November or 17 December 1493 in Einsiedeln, Switzerland - 24 September 1541) was an alchemist, physician, astrologer, and general occultist. Born Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim, he took the name Paracelsus later in life, meaning "beside or similar to Celsus", an early Roman physician...

said there are 4 elementals .... earth (dwarves, gnomes), water (mermaids), fire (vulcans), and air (fairies) ...
in Ireland and Iceland they are visible to many people ...

they are not santas...

they really are ...

http://www.loweringthebar.net/2006/06/lowering_the_ba.html

LoTB: Second, why did the press say that Luis, Armand and Angel were “dwarves”? Was this a mistranslation of “dwende,” the mischievious spirits believed to reside in anthills (also translated “gnomes”)? Are they truly of small stature? Did they help you with your opinions, and if so, do they have any legal training?

JF: Answer: The names of my spirit guides are Luis, Armand and Angel; they are not the ordinary dwarves, gnomes, leprechauns, vulcans, . . . Luis is the King of Kings of elementals, an angel of God; if you are a Christian, you can read this in genesis,etc. and you can click angels in encyclopedia.com or wikkipedia,etc. . . In Ireland - a Catholic country - they can see dwarfs, but only the ordinary kind. LUIS IS THE KING OF ALL KINGS OF THESE. Usually, they are of small stature, but they only appear to me in the form of lights. TRUTH: I never used the word “DWARVES” in any DECISION, and I never consulted any imaginary dwarf to pen my decisions. LUIS is highly educated.

LoTB: Third, you stated that you were the fifth-best psychic in the Philippines. Who do you think are the top four, and do any of them practice law?

JF: I stated in 1998 that I believe our President Ferdinand Marcos is # 1. . . I specifically have the following gifts: cross of the tongue, lightning teeth, my eyes emit spiritual fires, and my hands emit extreme heat that heals the poorest of the poor (with heat-processed coconut oil). All of us are psychics to a degree but very few can bend spoons. I was gifted with healing, bilocation, exorcism,etc. I graduated 2nd full honors and placed 12th in our 1983 Bar Exams, 87.55% (our Bar exam is the toughest, since many aspirants here who failed 3 x could easily pass your Bar in California, please do not be offended).

LoTB: Fourth, I am very interested to know what verse or verses of the Bible you selected to begin each court day. One report stated that at least on some days these verses were from the Book of Revelations. Is that true, and what are your favorite verses from that Book?

JF: In 1998, when I assumed office . . . I asked them to read the Book of revelations, because it is the hardest book but there it is, ALL. My favorite verses of the Bible are ECCLESIASTES, there the philosophy of life’s uselessness and injustice but God will judge everything done in secret. Also, the psalms, on curses on God’s punishment versus evil.


http://www.wunderkabinett.co.uk/damndata/i...-revisited.html
Damn Data- You have been contacted by LUIS king of kings elementals - when did this happen and how did it manifest itself?


Judge Floro - It was on June 2, 1983 that LUIS, the King of King of Elementals (I opine), first appeared to my mild retarded GIFTED brother Robert. At that time, since I was trained by Jesuits, ATENEO, PHILIPPINES, I never believed in this (PSI etc.).
Until I went to treasure hunting, so I asked my brother Robert, and he promised me that Luis would make his presence felt. I waited until 1996 (12+ years) and weekly, I offered food for them believing absolutely in them even if I never saw them. I was predestined by him, LUIS to be his instrument against evil (they could not choose any, since these spirits are ordered from above, to guide the chosen one, me) - hence, if I could do good, like healing the poorest of the poor and inflict illness upon the corrupt only. To mend ways and repent via illness, then their power against Satan and the black ones, would be increased by God.

1.a. So, I began to see LUIS' violet lights and white lights in 1996
(erratic times, no pattern, sometimes once a week at nights, and at daytime, the violets -- these are flashes, thousandth of a second; light travels 186,000 miles per second, then, if it travels million times then there would no more distinction between time and space, so STATE, no more matter, since E = mc2 as Einstein, said, but until this date we humans could not make time travel this past; so LUIS and Armand and Angel were created at the times of the Angels, and these lights are the very essence of the universe, time travel etc..

1.b. I was tasked to be a judge by them, on my birthday I applied, Nov. 5, and I was appointed by the Philippine President Joseph Ejercito Estrada whom I predicted would not finish his term as he didn’t, on Jan. 20,2001. My duty is to clean the judiciary and other government offices here of corruption and evil, via sicknesses. So, I was suspended because the JBC Member, Atty. Tesie Sison suffered a stroke and she falsified my I.Q. to 68 and that I believed and consulted dwarves. 6 3/4 years I waited until J. Nazario fought for me but she lost because a Justice was operated on who had suffered spinal cord problems, blaming me.

1.c. I first saw LUIS and Armand on March 1, 1996 via a vision that was more than a Dream and it occurred in a higher plane. Then on Good Friday - maybe about 2002 -LUIS again made his appearance, a similar vision on a higher plane. LUIS is "nakalakip" (Tagolog Philippine term, meaning, since 1996 he made a covenant that he would not leave me and would be with me spiritually for all moments provided I would not persecute the poor. I see his violet and white lights maybe 20 times a month, no pattern when.


Damn Data - What other entities (good and evil) have contacted you and what information have they imparted about their intent?


Judge Floro - LUIS told me that their mortal enemies are the BLACKS, but these could not penetrate me because of LUIS' lights that enveloped me; last 2004, Nov. 5, my birthday, he promised (he gave me the sword, that whoever I would hold or touch by hand that is corrupt, would develop sickness forthwith) that I would be reinstated by 2006-2007 and he provided he would inflict the illnesses upon our Chief Justice Davide and my investigator, Justice P. Ramirez, both suffered carotid and angioplasty surgeries,etc. LUIS also appointed J. NAZARIO as the one destined by God to clean the Supreme Court and be an example to them; so I do not know of any other spirits, and I never contacted them; in fact, I never read any book on Psychic Phenomena coz I'm gifted; here in the Philippines, the foremost authority is Mr. Jaime T. Licauco, not a psychic, but a writer (you can know more about him re - your question on these, just type his name and enter in yahoo search or search.com, you can buy his books) but I do not believe in these books, because they are finite and limited, they could not penetrate the LEVEL of LUIS, these violet and white lights from GOD, I am a devout Catholic and believe only in the GOOD; I know evil everywhere, and this is LUIS' job to fight evil by these lights.


Damn Data - You say they have imparted prophesies - what form do they take? How many have come true? Any major outstanding ones that we could keep an eye out for?


Judge Floro - IMPECCABLE PROPHECIES: First, VISION -- meaning not prediction, but ---the highest:
On Jan. 9,1999, 6:00 a.m.feast of our Philippine Black Nazarene (Jesus Christ carring the Cross, Catholic Version of like Guadalupe,etc.), I saw 3 visions that have now happened:
a) the several world apparitions of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God/Christ
the Millennium, global greatest EARTHQUAKES and natural disasters, tsunamis,etc. UNPRECEDENTED from 1999-2010, more or less, as punishment for evil, as foretold also on 1918 in FATIMA, Portugal to 3 children
c) Philippine V.P., now President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo would be badly hurt and later on physically, no time frame

I specifically have the following gifts: krus sa dila (cross of the tongue) pangil ng kidlat (lightning teeth), my eyes emit fires, spiritual, and my hands (golden yellow) emit extreme heat that heals the poorest of the poor (with heat-processed coconut oil). I was given the gift of healing on June 3,1999 one month before my July 20,1999 suspension; and I healed many poor people, about 5,000 since 1999. The prophecy was given to me as gift, circa 1987, not at its peak, but yet to be enhanced. Luis told me that the P.I. Judiciary would mourn many times, as it did in the death of Justice Sabino De LEON and as I wrote you, the wife of S.C. Justice Puno. Atty. Luz Puno passed away, 4 days after it was decided I would be relieved of my duties, on April 12, 2006.

I predicted many other events in the Philippines, about 800. Second, my prophecies are spontaneous, except the inflicting of illnesses. I was tasked to seal the 15 doors of our S.C. Justice since 2000 (with 4 spiritual nails) that would be the source of illnesses upon receipt of bribes. Every first Friday of the month since 2000 until this date, at 12 noon and 3:00 p.m., I would go to places - powerful places - here to inflict illnesses upon those that receive bribe money in the judiciary and to those that have fixed my case and prolonged my suspension and the investigation to a 6 3/4 years delay. I received the gift of EXORCISM, last February and in 2002 I was gifted with BILOCATION. Lastly, April (Good Friday) 1998, when I predicted there would be the downfall of Erap, our President who did fall on Jan. 2001.


Damn Data - Do you have any powers yourself or is it all the work of Luis?


Judge Floro - All of us are psychics to a degree but very few can bend spoons. 99% of what I am as gifted is from LUIS, without him and Armand, Angel, I am nothing.

You, know, if you read all books written on PSI, quantum physics, parapsychology, you could read more upon WITCHCRAFT, evil, voodoo, occult and other things that would be less good. It is very rare that people would they be endowed with the gift to see these spiritual WHITE LIGHTS and VIOLET lights.

I would rather be remembered as the HEALING JUDGE RATHER than the Psychic Judge. I am renting a house and am poor, the poorest judge in the Philippines. You know, LUIS wanted me this poor, yet he gives me what I want, as I need. Before the Decision (Judge Floro was recently awarded back pay from the time of his first suspension - Hyde), my money was only P 30,000 or $ 400, but now I have been awarded by J. Nazario P 1.180 Million or about $22,000. What is destined for me is up to LUIS to decide. I suffered because that is what he and God wanted. I was called to be a priest but I asked for time and I wanted just to be a Judge. I opine that since birth, I am brilliant, always with honors. I graduated ATENEO, JESUITS, full second honors, and placed 12th 87.55% 1983 Philippine Bar exams for lawyers, but my gifted hand did all these discoveries of what would be asked. So, in sum, I am also a Pyschic of my own, but LUIS is inseparable from me.


Damn Data - You say they have only revealed themselves to your brother Robert? Why is this and how does he describe them?

Judge Floro - Oh. Robert had first seen LUIS and others on June 3,1983 when my father died. My mother died in 1995. They were destined to be their lifetime guardian angels, from the time of my father's death. Robert was able to see them as is, with all the colours, he was able to go down to their castles, where only gold, diamonds etc. are ... but ... just their lights, if these would flash a longer than a thousand of a second, I would be blinded. They could not show themselves to those who are not pure of heart, they only reveal themselves to the little children (chrismasses) [sic - Hyde] and ... what you read and see of them as pictures, like leprechauns, gnomes etc.. They are not kings, but ordinary ones; you see, if they reach the rank of kings, they would not be just visible.

In Ireland - a Catholic country - they can see dwarfs, but only the ordinary kind. LUIS IS THE KING OF ALL KINGS OF THESE ... my brother Robert described them as small, but have bonitos, or bonnets or hats as reverence to God. LUIS' clothes are often violet but they also wear other colours. Armand appeared in a vision to me in the form of human MOST HANDSOME and loveable child of say 7 years of age, while LUIS, appeared as a King with violet hat, sitting on a stone. I asked him, “Who are you?” he said, “LUIS”. I asked him, “Why only now?”, (about 2002) he said, “Because you are afraid”. Meaning therefore, that if I would see his lights and self for so long, then I would die.. time has not yet come...


Damn Data - Are these entities known from Filipino folklore or are they purely part of the Christian pantheon of saints and angels or a mix of both?

Judge Floro - The Filipino people - in culture and folklore - believe in them. We Catholics partly believe in them, not all though but my point is this: the LEVEL or DIMENSION of LUIS is impenetrable by any psychic, because he's of the highest: this is one of the deepest secret of the universe. We’re too backward: PSI, psychic phenomena, spiritualism, quantum physics etc.. We’ve not discovered their twin lights, violet and white, the most powerful non-matter in the universe.

Yes, even Virginia asked if there is a Santa Claus ....

We all want mystic dwarves to be with us ... friends worth dying for ...

the good and white ones ...
Luis is the King of Kings of elementals , because of his lights ....

Classic example of "be careful what you wish for".....yikes....

I Love the Dead. I am an Ordained Clergy Person. You can call me Rev.

See our beautiful country the philippines, the 8th wonder of the world, banaue rice terraces...

ecclesiastes taught us that ---

better are the dead ... but much better is one who has not been born, who will never ever see the injustice done in this world...

So you're quoting me now? Would you like a signed copy of my autobiography as well?

sure why not ... I found it touching ...it is so nice...

there are really many unexplained mysteries in the world, and for me...
(based on my 7 years pain under suspension)... the greatest treasure I found on earth is ---

KINDNESS .... i never found this stuff in my own country ... I found it here and from the far far other side of the world ...

http://www.google.com.ph/search?hl=en&...floro&meta=

if you have time ... read my life and pains ... it is everywhere ...
here in the philippines, many are dying of poverty ... sick of mind and body coz of hardships... many eat once a day and they do not know what will happen tomorrow ...
yours is a blessed country ... ours is ...

[An ordinary filipino (over 40 percent of all Filipinos are living under the poverty line), is happy and grateful to God, if he has a job with a monthly income of php 10000 or 15000,- to buy family's basic needs.

There is no choice. Except overseas employment.

For children there is a tiny chance of good luck. To find a foreign sponsor ...
Within the Philippines and without help from outside the own country, there is very little what you can do as a child, if you are born in a slum.

http://www.jkfoto.nl/manilla/index.html

that is the grim reality ---

and by contrast judges are millionaires here, they are well protected ...
you see... when I assumed office, I was asked to join this group, but I thought I became a judge ... to clean this stuff...

the supreme court here is UTTERLY corrupt ...

SWS survey: Lawyers say judiciary more corrupt

First posted 08:31am (Mla time) Jan 26, 2005
By Donna Pazzibugan
Inquirer News Service


MORE lawyers nowadays complain of corruption in the judicial system compared to 10 years ago, according to the Social Weather Stations.
One out of two lawyers know of a trial judge in their city or province who has taken a bribe but they did not report it because they could not prove it, said the SWS.

In a briefing among lawyers Tuesday night, SWS president Mahar Mangahas said the perception of corruption in the various courts -- from the municipal trial courts all the way up to the Supreme Court -- has risen among lawyers in the last 10 years.

"Our lawyers are more critical now than before," Mangahas told the lawyers as he presented the survey findings for the first time.

The SWS polled 889 trial judges -- or 61 percent of all trial judges in the country ...]

So...you're just pretty much here to spread propaganda around really? No offence, I'm just asking. It's really hard to understand your disconnected posts.

with all due respect,

since april 7 when my decision was reported worldwide, i began to learn computer and registration and replies to forums...

as a judge or lawyer...
i cherish the right to air my side to all these...
hence, i do not post everywhere but i limit my posts to sites or forums and blogs that specifically posted the world news about me...

as lawyer, my style is to reply with lengthy arguments..

hope for your best understanding of my side...

best wishes to your forum and your family, u!

So the concept of asking these elves for help... Is a practical legal proceeding in judging? Is there any evidence that you can bring up to prove that these elves are real?

I'd like a direct answer... Not your lawyer tricks of overloading people with infomation to throw them into the defensive.

I never asked the elves any help in judging... they accused me of consulting dwarves... they never proved it...

yes, i saw them, their lights, both under sensory and spiritual plane...
they helped me in healing and predictions, including cleansing our corrupt judiciary of corruption via their white and violet flashing lights i regularly see...

mr. jaime t. licauco, paranormal expert witness testified on my case ...

the VCD documentary was admitted in evidence...


http://youtube.com/results?search_query=judge+floro

the unexplained mysteries to them were REALIZED and proved by me per object and expert evidence...

Your wish is my COMMAND!

I replied here instead of writing a new topic, since this is memorable to me: you wrote this thread and I found yeah!

Hi,
Hi miss all of yeah, Happy Easter,

Actually, I visited this thread since I am about to finish my 900 pages (6x9) 2nd book on my ordeal, case and the 3 mystic dwarves; I am including this thread and about 70 of the 140 forums that wrote about my case (and wherein I responded); they are part of my life: the first book is just a copy paste of links (just in case you have no time to read my links in Google search "judge florentino floro", and a little bit of pleadings and tirades against those who fabricated my story; but the second book is 80% original - all about the untold DIARY of my 7 years judicial suspension, the prophecies and the 3 mystic Filipino dwarves.

LUIS the Elf of Cosmic Holy Justice
and His Pet Human, His Honor
Florentino V. Floro, Jr.

by Laszlo Xalieri
December 2007
Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr., passed his bar exam with high grades. He passed an interview okay, didn't do so well with a psychological evaluation, got a second opinion that was allowed to overrule the first one, and took a seat on the bench. In eight months or so, he was suspended pending an investigation regarding a handful of irregularities. Blue robes, for instance, instead of black ones (except on Fridays, in order to recharge his psychic powers).

Before you shout "Looney!" recall the definition of pathology: It's not an illness or a disease unless it interferes with one's ability to work or study, with relationships with friends or family. Short of that, and it's just a quirk. A trait.

And if belief in psychic powers isn't quite your bag, suck it. A lot of people believe in psychic powers. It doesn't matter if it's bunkum. You can't go firing or imprisoning people because they have a belief you think is funny. Hell, there'd be maybe seven or eight of us incredulous skeptic b******* left outside the prisons, each trying our dead-level best to lock up the last six or seven.

Like I said, suck it. Judicial, congressional, and educational sessions are opened with prayers worldwide. Floro had a reading from the Bible he liked to include. He also claimed to have a God-given gift to heal people, which he exercised on breaks. And a few other things, all of which are very well documented, if you are interested in the gory details. Start here, if you feel like being thorough.

Anyway, he was suspended pending investigation. It was supposed to take around sixty days. Ninety max. Floro fought back, challenging the qualifications and impartiality of the investigators, challenging any questionable detail, and at the same time getting upset (and filing complaints accordingly) that things were taking so long.

A couple months short of seven years later, the Supreme Court of the Philippines issues a ruling on the thirteen charges and/or other points to be investigated for Floro's suspension. In the end they fine him forty thousand pesos (around $1,000 US), reimburse him three years of back pay (blaming him for dragging things out, so sticking him with responsibility for the other four years) and declare him unfit for judicial service due to his unsavory psychological quirks and apparent unwillingness to present a dignified image consistent with trial judges in the Philippines. Separated from service. Fired. More or less.

Consistency check: His beliefs interfered with his work. Therefore, according to the definition of pathology, he is ill. Except, say, if he had a job as an evangelist or a faith healer or some other kind of non-judge bureaucrat, at which point he would be sufficiently sane. In fact, the sixty-plus-page ruling I linked to above pretty much said that.

Is it possible to be conditionally ill, depending on your job? Given the definition of pathology, I'd have to say yes. For instance, I'd be nuts to be a linebacker for the New England Patriots. I'm 5'4" and less than a hundred and sixty pounds. Even if I were otherwise qualified, it would be clear evidence of a suicidal urge.

I haven't gotten to the elfs yet. Duendes, Elemental spirits of great power, the Red ones forever at war with the Blacks. Like ants here in Georgia. Except in the Philippines (and probably elsewhere) the Red ones are the good guys. Provisionally speaking.

Elfs appear to feature prominently in Floro's case. I'm assuming they're Catholic elfs, as Floro is himself devoutly Catholic. And before you say anything here, let me mention law, and Santeria, and how all the classic pagan deities and heroes of the British Isles ended up as Catholic saints. I've read the Bible in its entirety, even the slightly fatter Catholic one, and, let me tell you, a lot of popular proper nouns are missing. Among the missing names are Luis, Armand, and Angel -- the three duendes who have been an integral part of Floro's life since 1996 (although Angel didn't come along until 2006).

Floro's mildly r******ed brother, who, according to Floro, retains enough innocence to experience the beings directly, introduced Floro to Luis back in 1984, around the time of death of their father. Floro himself experiences Luis as a nearly daily visitation of violet and white lights and, at least once each, as a "regal violet king" and as a chicken. Floro's compact with Luis et al grants Floro certain healing gifts, psychic powers, and the ability to bestow curses to punish the wicked and corrupt. (In particular the wicked and corrupt justices of the Philippine court system, which, indeed, have an international reputation for being quite wicked and corrupt.)

This is the part that attracted the attention of the international press, of course. According to the take on the story you'd get from just reading the headlines and no deeper, you'd discover that Floro was fired from his position because of his association with killer elfs. Those headlines were indeed what caught my eye. I commented about them (irreverently, as usual) in my blog. Floro himself responded. And, sensing with my own psychic powers a depth of story only hinted at by the headlines, I asked him for an interview. He said, in effect, bring it.

He's been interviewed a number of times before. I read those interviews over and set up a bunch of questions that I believed filled in some gaps from previous interviews. These are the questions I sent:

* What's the ideal outcome for your current situation with respect to your career, your family, and you daily life?
* What is your typical day like? To what extent do supernatural elements of any kind affect your average day, if at all?
* What was the best day of your life? What was the worst?
* If you had to choose to give up one of your goals or gifts, which one would it be and why?
* How would you describe your relationships with your brothers?
* Why did you drop the suits you had pending against those people you were accusing of trying to ruin your career? What made you decide to let them off the hook?
* Do you ever have disagreements with Luis, Armand, and Angel? Do they ever scare you?
* I have a big problem with punishing one's family for crimes one has committed. In modern days, it's permissible to choose your wife or husband, but children can in no way be responsible for the actions of their parents. You mention that some judicial official's child was born with epilepsy as punishment for something a parent has done to you. Where is the justice in that? And doesn't it imply that that your brother's mental disabilities might be punishment for something you or your parents might have done?

In response I received ... well, it's hard to describe what I received. When reformatted to single-spaced ten-point type, around ten pages. Later expanded to fifteen--and simultaneously filed with the Philippine Supreme Court, lightly seasoned with my own personal information harvested from various and sundry sites and what passes for my credentials. To be followed by a death announcement, a travelogue with some nice pictures, and previous versions of mailings reissued with expansions, illustrations, and attachments. All in good fun.

The question about "ideal outcome" was skipped, or else embedded elsewhere. In all, he seems willing to accept whatever horrors Luis drags him through as an acceptable substitute to "ideal."

Here's a portion of his response to the "typical day" question, lightly edited for style and grammar and shrunk like a new cotton t-shirt in a super-hot clothes dryer:

I've been jobless since July 20, 1999. I begged for compassion from the most powerful in our judicial, executive and legislative departments ... from all my classmates (Ateneo Law, Class of '82, including 2 incumbent Supreme Court Justices). I asked all of them to give me clemency, compassion, justice, kindness, and a job. But as Luis desired, I failed in my quests.

I've been financially helped by a kind brother (we are five) since last year and, in my most difficult times, just to survive. Luis would not permit me yet to have a job. He wanted me to suffer more. By bearing my cross, Luis would be able to infuse upon my mortal body the higher violet and white pure lights to fight evil or the black angels (fallen, the instruments of 666, in Revelations).

Two of my brothers are multimillionaires. (They have mansions in Valle Verde, Pasig City, Metro Manila, in Bulacan and in Greenhills; they are engaged in gold, diamond and foreign exchange trading; they have expensive cars - Mercedes, Volvo, Pajero, Nissan Durano, etc., and several security guards...) I have only rented a house since 1989. I walk and take the bus.

From April 7, 2006 until today, as I am unemployed, I wake up at 10 AM. I eat vegetables and fishes and sometimes meat. I sit in an Internet cafe from 12 Noon to 12 Midnight (with breaks, 8 to 10 PM to eat). I respond to a thousand blogs' comments, like yours and thousands of posts in 140 forums that reported my case based on more than a hundred international wire reports and front-page headlines. I am an established Wikipedia editor and contributor. Recently, I spent about 10 hours daily editing Wikipedia and creating articles.

I'm assuming the best day involved entering into his agreement with Luis. For worst days, he mentions three attacks on his life. I'm assuming ordinary muggings, as he doesn't mention suspected links to enemies in the courts system or elsewhere. In response to my question about gifts to give up, he says he basically has no choice in the matter and it's impossible to give any up, adding that his life would be worthless without Luis and the impact he has had.

Of his four brothers, two of them are wealthy, and at least one of those, I'm assuming, is his benefactor. His brother Robert is the mildly r******ed one, and Floro has custody. There is another brother who apparently believes Floro should not have custody of Robert and has sued unsuccessfully to take Robert away. Their relationship is understandably somewhat cool.

Floro filed suits against a number of people who he believes acted with malice to try to get him fired from his job. He says his reason for dropping the suits was that he could forgive them somewhat for their fear and discomfort in working with him, and also the suits were about to be dismissed on technicalities anyway. It was an easy concession.

The final two questions generated a bit more in terms of response. I gather from Floro's words that Luis and company terrify him all the time. They ask him to perform horrible curses on the corrupt judges and justices -- former coworkers and associates -- and their families and spouses and children. He's refused a number of times and eventually was forced to compromise or give in completely. He sent me huge catalogs of material, documented in English and Tagalog (not that I can read Tagalog, but that's my problem, not his), detailing pretty much every horrible thing that has happened to judges and supreme court justices and their families, and claiming personal responsibility for deaths, illnesses, accidents, birth defects, and the occasional courthouse fire.

As you can see in my final question, I take issue with visiting divine retribution on innocent children and generations unborn and ask to hear his justification. His response is largely that it's always been done that way and gives numerous biblical references, paying particular attention to the 109th and 73rd Psalms, which are, indeed, quite grim.

That doesn't help me much; I've carried that same objection to God Himself, who offers absolutely no justifications for anything He does. God's Divine Finger of Holy Retribution is roughly ten miles wide at the tip and has all the fine motor control of an epileptic ape on an anthill.

God possibly thinks so, too. In the Old Testament, even before there were kings, His prophets set up the office of judges (with whole books dedicated to the phenomenon) and legal systems to help give attention to the fiddly details of human interactions and prescribe sentences, while still a tad harsh by modern Western standards, perhaps less overkill than worldwide flooding, plagues of frogs, killing all the firstborn males, and torrents of burning brimstone. And -- if you believe modern evangelists -- hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

It's my opinion that even a laughably corrupt judiciary is (albeit slightly) preferable to "a STAIN on his blood unto the FOURTH GENERATION," because at least with the former you can have hope of justice if you can raise enough money for the bribe.

My further opinion, Mr. Floro, is that Luis is bad news for you. He may have a tremendous plateful of holy work for you to do and bizarre and cool holy gifts with which to pay you, but you won't have a peaceful, normal life until you give him his walking papers. In your own words, "HIS WAYS ARE NOT OUR WAYS." I believe there's good reason for this. I also believe that the supernatural should be left to its own devices and that we humans should stick with what we're good at --discernment and fine manipulation with our tiny fingers. And justice on a human scale.

Anyone who wants copies of Floro's literal and lengthy responses can feel free to contact me. I will happily forward them along.

NOTES:
Crucify elfin judge

Flopo will be crucified on Good Friday (the days radars of fetus suckers in full moon are electrified and opened full volume)

Frolo will rise on Resurrection and Apocalypse day

Floro and the 3 Mystic Dwarves will judge those tons of detractors and litany of enemies on the 2nd Comming of the elves.

This hour, 4:32 pm Good Friday, our country (due to the 1521 - 1899 Spanish colonization) is immersed in the culture of saints, images and colorful Holy Week;
I want to share this with you; but lest I be misconstrued, I do believe more in Mass and Rosary, rather than all these parades; in the seminary in 1965-1974, we were taught about Mass as center of Faith ... so our chapels are bare of saints, images, except a modern crucifix ...

Fresh from the OVEN:

Filipinos warned on crucifixions
By Frances Harrison Religious affairs reporter, BBC News
Filipinos re-enact Good Friday crucifixion
Thousands flock to Good Friday crucifixions in northern Philippines
35 Devotees nailed to the cross in Good Friday rites - 03/21/2008 | 02:24 PM

SAN FERNANDO, Philippines - Philippine devotees re-enacted Jesus Christ's suffering Friday by having themselves nailed to crosses in rites frowned upon by church leaders in Asia's largest predominantly Roman Catholic nation. Fernando Mamangon, 37, was among the first of some 30 men scheduled to go through the Good Friday rites in three villages in northern Pampanga province's San Fernando city. Five other devotees, including a woman, were nailed to crosses in nearby Bulacan province. It was Mamangon's 13th straight year for the rite, which penitents endure to fulfill a vow or pray for a cure for illnesses. In San Pedro Cutud village, the main site of the annual event, 19 people have signed up for the crucifixion, according to local officials. Another 10 are expected to be crucified in nearby Santa Lucia village. Luciana Reyes, a 48-year-old housewife, says this will be the 19th time that she will be nailed to a cross and she vowed to continue re-enacting the crucifixion on Good Friday for as long as she can.

Maybe he was being subtle... and really meant it as a sly, yet friendly dig at the Filipino lawyers...or mystic dwarves.

Necro-posting: never did much to make you seem more believable.

Although the idea of an actual judge consulting mystery dwarves /did/ make my day.
