‘Rosebud’ says she has video of her in b

Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned.

Rebuffed by an alleged ex-lover, former undercover police agent Mary "Rosebud" Ong said yesterday she has a videotape of a bed scene with the police official who denied on television he ever had an intimate relationship with her.

She explained, however, the videotaped bed scene was not pornographic but simply showed her literally sleeping with her former boyfriend, Senior Superintendent John Campos, a former intelligence chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Narcotics Group.

Ong told a press conference in Makati City yesterday that she would show the tape if only to belie Campos’ denial that he lived with her and her children for five years.

The other day, Ong broke down in tears amid reports that Campos had denied their relationship. Campos, who is separated from his wife, said he merely used Ong to infiltrate drug rings.

On Thursday night, the two talked by phone patch arranged by the Channel 7 show Debate, where Campos again denied their relationship. Ong accused Campos of being a woman beater.

Ong also revealed yesterday her two sons have been receiving threatening text messages, causing them emotional and psychological distress.

"Babae ako, wala akong balls. Pero ang totoo, mas may balls ako sa inyo. Huwag ninyo idamay and pamilya ko, tayo lang (I am a woman, I don’t have balls. But if truth be told, I have more balls than you. Don’t drag in my family, let’s keep it between us)," she said, apparently referring to Campos.

Campos was supposedly among her police handlers when she worked as an undercover narcotics agent with the NarGroup and later with the defunct Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force (PAOCTF), headed by then police chief now Sen. Panfilo Lacson.

Ong has accused Lacson and other ranking officials of the PNP, including former NarGroup chief Director Reynaldo Acop, of colluding with a criminal triad in Hong Kong in smuggling narcotics into the country.

Both Lacson and Acop have denied the charges and claimed Ong was a double-agent who had been paid by Lacson’s opponents to implicate the senator in a string of criminal activities.

Ong said Campos has been searching for her and her two sons since she publicly exposed Lacson’s alleged criminal activities.

On Aug. 13, Campos allegedly mauled Ong’s helper Dominador "Teng" Bartolata at a gasoline station in San Juan.

Bartolata, who has served Ong for the last 11 years, said Campos wanted to know where Ong and her two children were staying. When he refused to tell, the aide was mauled by the policeman and was left with cuts and bruises.

Ong was then in Xiamen, China, trying to persuade a Chinese youngster to testify against Lacson. The youngster was supposedly the sole survivor of a group that was allegedly kidnapped by Lacson’s group.

Ong also denied having been given a condominium unit by former Philippine National Police chief Roberto Lastimoso in exchange for accusing Sen. Panfilo Lacson of drug trafficking.

"I do not own and have never owned a condo unit. I live in quarters na bumabaha pag umuulan (that floods when it rains)," she said.

She vowed to reveal the names of all active PNP officials involved in the drug trade when she testifies anew before three Senate committees probing the allegations against Lacson.

She also clarified that her revelations were not meant to damage the PNP and claimed she only wanted reforms in the police organization.

"I want change. We have to come up with an example," she said.

Meantime, she insisted that controversial businessman Kamsin "Kim" Wong was indeed involved with the Hong Kong triad and was even used as a contact by the NarcGroup.

She also challenged Kim’s lawyer, former solicitor general Frank Chavez to explain what he was doing in Hong Kong on June 2 or 3 when she saw him at the lobby of the Marco Polo Prince Hotel.

She explained that she was then on her way to the US to investigate the bank accounts Lacson supposedly maintains in the US allegedly to launder the proceeds of his criminal activities.
