Inappropriate content
"Beltran was a lifelong idiotic Communist who believed in the erroneous and outdated theories of Karl Marx. He was also reputedly the homosexual lover of Jose Maria Sison and the menage-a-trois partner of the same Communist Party leader with Sison's common-law live-in partner Juliet de Lima."

This is clearly a salacious statement, and intended to undermine the reputation of a controversial leader in a religiously conservative country. It is at odds with the biography which follows, indicating that he leaves behind a wife and numerous children. Please note that I an a completely independent reader, with no ideological associations with any factions in the Philipine government- I am reacting only to classic political smears in an independent biography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beedoggy (talk • contribs) 02:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Love story and career
I added inquirer and another link for the personal life, eduction and labor leader sections to expand 26 year old taxi driver Beltran first met then 15-year old Rosario “Ka Osang” Soto (now 68) on November 10, 1956, after she cut classes and left her grandmother at Quiapo. Beltan drove Osang in his taxicab to his San Juan boarding house, and after 3 days thereat, her furious father beat up Beltran in front of her, and brought him to the San Juan municipal jail. Eventually, they had to get married, and had 10 children. Beltran was a cabbie by day and University of the Philippines’ Asian Labor Education Center student by night.Inquirer.net, It started in a taxi for the Beltrans greenleft.org.au, Crispin Beltran — 1933-2008 Beltran began his labor career, at his 20’s when he was president of the Yellow Taxi Drivers’ Union and the Amalgamated Taxi Drivers Federation from 1955 to 1963. He served as vice administrator of the Confederation of Labor Unions of the Philippines and was vice president of the Philippine Alliance of Nationalist Organizations from 1963 to 1972. In August 1982 to 1984, he was arrested and detained at Camp Crame, Quezon City, and his 10 children lived on his small earnings from selling rubber slippers and selling fish in the market. Osang delivered his speeches at rallies, and eventually did volunteer work at the Task Force Detainees of the Philippines. In 1984, when KMU president Felixberto Olalia died of pneumonia in his detention cell, Ka Osang successfully planned a daring escape plan amid his kidney ailment, but she endured blows, punches and kicks from his gurads. Beltran became a fugitive of justice in Central Luzon, and was protected by insurgents. In 1986 President Corazon Aquino ordered the release of Beltran and of all political prisoners. He joined the party-list elections as a second nominee of Bayan Muna in 2001 and won a seat in the House of Representatives. He won a second term in 2004 and a third term in 2007 as Anakpawis representative.Inquirer.net, It started in a taxi for the Beltransgreenleft.org.au, Crispin Beltran — 1933-2008 --Florentino floro (talk) 07:35, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
