NOTE: Many pictures have not been posted, out of respect for the genuinely hard working Filipinos visited in a tri-state area of the Northeast USA. However, a question remains -- what of her acquaintances met in Cebu: Were they involved in the scam?

Introduced as the "de la Cruz family vacation home" Ormoc City, Leyte. It is owned by Zorah's Mom, Thelma Villacorte Subla and is not a "de la Cruz" family property. 
Some of the activities we shared together ...    

If you read the web site and happen to know Belen ... maybe Ging, old high school mates. Perhaps Lynn (remarried in CA), in-laws and Fr. Ray we visited in New York. Email them and let them know how well Zorah is doing.

Someday, more will be said about the "vacation home" in Ormoc City as that is not it's true purpose. It is more an office to entertain and conduct business, only a high-speed ferry ride away from Cebu City. The floors and several walls are Italian marble ... all manner of pricey liquor is there for entertaining and the look of success. Yet, no one in the Subla family drinks. A spiral staircase leads upward to a large, fully equipped, exercise room. A second floor terrace is for cocktail parties and a view to the ocean far below. The figurines in the front yard are tasteless ... tasteless as pink plastic lawn flamingos in Miami.

The Caretaker staff is in some ways a "prop" to the whole thing. On that, I will explain at a later date. 

Mom Subla, methinks it should not have been explained "It was all for the family business." Good one Zorah ... bragging about this facet of the mythical family banking activity was perhaps an act of severe overconfidence and exposes too much of the game!
