Vigan vas changed to Seville by 66.30.113.132 I think this should be verified --Melaen 13:41, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I've removed that nonsense about Solvar and Seville, and how Precious "supported" them financially. The Solivens are from Santo Domingo, Ilocos Sur. As Max Soliven says: FBI = Full Blooded Ilocano. Max had good income from writing and consulting during the Marcos years, and put up a travel magazine in the late 1970s. I'm in a good position to verify the facts of this article. We're blood relations.

Henry Kissinger and Max Soliven
Maybe the references to the contacts between Henry Kissinger and Max Soliven are derived from proximate sources. However it does seem odd. According to Kissinger's own Wikipedia entry, he earned his M.A. degree from Harvard in 1952, or one year after Soliven earned his Ph.D from the same university. Seems unlikely that an M.A. student would be deemed worthy enough to teach Ph.D classes at Harvard.

Also the quote about Romulus and Adidas is also attributed to Larry Henares. The quote seems more typical Henares than Kissinger.

 * It was mentioned at least once in this article, although I have yet to find another source for this. Since he died yesterday morning, we can expect a lot of more comprehensive write-ups in the major dailies, especially from the Philippine Star. Feel free to add (and cite) as necessary. --- Tito Pao 23:11, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Re "Accompanied"
To the one who commented the "accompanied" part: I fixed this section to make the intended meaning clear: I believe that what the author of that trivia meant was that MVS was jailed with other journalists and political figures.

The anomaly of choosing "accompanied", IMO, was a carry-over of what might be idiomatic Tagalog but cannot be translated in English; whoever wrote that passage must be thinking of:


 * Si MVS ay ibinilanggo kasama nila Mitra, Aquino...

but, when literally translated, could be rendered as:


 * MVS was jailed accompanied by Mitra, Aquino...

and my best guess was that the original writer was writing along the lines of kasama in the sense of samáhan (to accompany).

At any rate, I rewrote it to its present form:


 * MVS was jailed along with...

Hope this rewrite expresses it clearly. --- Tito Pao 14:45, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
