Muntinlupa Bliss Scandal Part 1 Fix May 2026

Ramon worked in the City Housing Department until early 2026. He claims he was present during a meeting in November 2025 where the “fix” was designed. “It wasn’t a secret. One of the [City Council] consultants laid it out on a whiteboard. He said, ‘We need to change the HOA. If we control Bliss, we control the road widening project.

However, our investigation found that was ever issued by the Muntinlupa City Engineering Office. The notices were fake. They were a weapon. The Whistleblower’s Testimony To understand the depth of the corruption, we spoke to a former city hall employee (who has since resigned). Let’s call him “Ramon.”

The local police responded, but instead of dispersing the crowd, they reportedly refused to enforce the eviction orders. According to a police intelligence report (leaked to this paper), the officers noted that the HOA's documentation was "questionable at best."

Because The property’s value has increased 2,000% since the 1980s. Controlling the HOA means controlling who is recognized as a "legitimate" resident versus an "informal settler." The Anatomy of "The Fix" The term “fix” is colloquial, but in this context, it describes a three-step scheme allegedly executed between October 2025 and January 2026. Step 1: The Voter Purge Residents claim that weeks before the HOA elections, a mysterious "Audit Committee" appeared. They went door-to-door, asking for proof of original ownership. Many long-time residents—some who had lived there for 20 years but lacked notarized deeds—were told they were "ineligible to vote."
