I will mention some names and see if you can remember them: Brigido “Jun” Simon Jr., Mario Raymundo, Dr. Tony Martinez, Rodolfo Valentino, Isidro Garcia, Mel Lopez, Ben Abalos and Ignacio “Toting” Bunye.

Bunye was Mrs. Arroyo’s one-time press secretary and recently ended a full term as a member of the Monetary Board. As to the rest, your answer will be this: Who are they?
