The blog world rocked in 2008 when one wronged man dared to use the internet to serve his own brand of justice. In one corner, alleged estafador and issuer of bouncing checks, Delfin Justiniano “DJ” Montano, in the other, internet denizen Brian Gorrell.
But more than just trailblazing, Brian Gorrell’s crusade revealed the soft underbelly of
Revelation after revelation began to hurt or hit other members of the by now infamous Gucci Gang and Montano took action. He went on television and had himself interviewed together with his mother to tell his side of the story. But the interview was ephemeral and whatever opinions could have been swayed by it, was somehow negated by the seeming permanence of the internet.
So soon enough, Montano did, as any good Gucci Gang member does when the going gets tough – he left the country and headed for the
The story doesn’t end here though.
Montano remains un-prosecuted for the crimes he allegedly committed against Brian Gorrell. Furthermore, uncorroborated information received by this website indicates that Montano is in the

Thus Victorina enters into a new advocacy to help our friend Brian Gorrell: FIND DJ MONTANO.

LOL. i love this. there's actually a price? this is marvelous. makes me want to go bounty hunting right now.
Where society columns and lifestyle magazines held up these alta sociedad scions as icons of breeding and good taste, Brian Gorrell held up his own mirror and reflected coke parties, conspiracies to commit estafa, kidnapping, serious physical injuries and other secret crimes....
KA-CHEAPAN ang Philippine High Society. YUCK!

“Hey Brian, I’ve been thinking..with the amount of damage this Blog has already done for DJ and the rest the Gucci Gang, I doubt you’ll get your money back this way. You got to take DJ to court. "
How can Brian take him to court when he is hiding in San Fran!
What would keep the blog powerful? VICTORINA...a BLOGGING CONGLOMERATE of the TOP BLOS!
Dear Council,
"A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history."
That was from Gandhi.
Who would have thought that this small, feeble old man in a loincloth would change the course of history for one of the world's most populous nation?
His example is inspiring.
And so is yours, Council.
Keep on fighting for what is right.
You owe it to yourselves and to your future.
Mabuhay kayo.
John White
PS. Where do I send my donation for the bounty?
I want DJ to fry for what he did to Brian.
Can I raise the bounty? another thousand dollars?
Last I heard he was in San Fran with a new bf - very old, named Craig
I raise the reward: LV Bag to any member of the Gucci Gang who will just tell the truth!
Craig is an aging Irish guy who frequents Asian gay bars!
I donate a Shu Eumura lipstick, Folded and Hung shirt and a Motorola razr
Brian has nothing to fear. If DJ is an illegal immigrant then he is not protected by American law!
I raise the reward: LV Bag to any member of the Gucci Gang who will just tell the truth!
add ako 50 pesos pasa load
I'll be offering personal protection within San Pablo City for the hunt. If he or she feels threatened by them, that person is welcome in my home city.
Isn't this invasion of privacy?
if in US illegally, he can't leave for another country (say, canada). he can't stay in US, either.
i'd say checkmate.
however, what if he tries to make himself a US citizen (say, marriage)? ok, poor spouse is gonna be a sucker, but seriously, just hoping all bases are covered.
DJ Montano = another form of swine
Dear Council!
Hahaha! Nabuhos kape ko talaga! Hahaha! I love this! No worries, let me start calling people in my neighborhood. Baka nasa New Orleans hahaha

Brian’s blog reveal how extravagant and lavish the lifestyle of the Filipino rich, basking on the temporal pleasure that cocaine, liquor and sex bring to them, while those in the very wide base (and its getting wider) of the social triangle had to shed not just sweat and tears but blood as well to put food on their table...The next is the law enforcement divide. As claimed by Brian, these rich kids do drugs in hotels with the drug dealers delivering cocaine right at their doors. Often it is asked: Why are our laws lenient on the rich yet harsh on the poor? “Those who have less in life should have more in law,” said the late President Ramon Magsaysay, who must be turning in his grave right now knowing that the police had chose to ignore the felony of the rich but always notices the misdeeds of the poor. A quick scan of past news reports reveal no story about a bunch of rich kids arrested while in a cocaine party. But there are a lot about poor street children sniffing rugby to suppress their hunger and loneliness.
Brian Gorell mentioned that DJ Montano is a VERY expensive boyfriend. Brian said, ” I asked him once to come to Andoks with me.
He told me he could not be seen there.
Ever.
So I asked HRH (His Royal Highness) to go for Inasal (another grilled chicken resto). He said, No way.”
HAHAHA... Amiel you should torture the guy with fishballs and isaw sa AS (that's arts and science blg in UP)
HOY the best fishballs is near Malcom Hall. tamis ng sauce!

15 questions for celine lopez and posse
* 1) Were you and Brian Gorrell lovers (as opposed to “friends”)?
* 2) You said the money Brian sent you was for the “bills.” Brian said he lived on Boracay only for a few months. Even if we assume that the monthly upkeep was 100,000 pesos and let’s assume that Brian spent that amount each month for one year — that’s still short of the nearly 3,000,000 that he claimed he sent you over several months. What happened to the rest of his money? He HAS proven his claims against you now. Unlike before.
* 3) Did you tell Brian that Marcel Crespo and Celine Lopez had promised to invest in the restaurant that, according to Brian, you and he were going to put up?
* 4) Did you resign from the Philippine Star or were you fired?
* 5) Have you ever used your position as a writer of the Philippine Star to gain favors, such as free hotel accommodations, as alleged?
* 6) Did you use your position in the Philippine Star to send the police to Brian’s hotel room that night that you had a fight and, allegedly, you cleaned out his safety deposit box?
* 7) What other sources of income did you have in order to support such a lifestyle?
Allegedly, your businesses folded up but you were always in Boracay, which can be quite expensive. So if you were not using Brian’s money, as you claim, where were you deriving your income? Does the Philippine Star pay so well so as to afford such a lifestyle?
* 8.) Why would an HIV-positive man, who sold his property in Australia to be with you in the Philippines and who requires expensive medication in order to survive, squander all that money just to live like a king, as you and your stepfather put it? If he did, did it ever occur to you to stop him, knock some sense into him?
* 9) Is it true that you also owe other people millions and that, as alleged by Brian, you also scammed these people?
* 10) Is it true that your mother, as reported by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, was involved in the PEA-Amari scam?
* 11) As a socialite, you live such a public life. You open your life up to the public the moment you allow your name and your picture to appear regularly in the papers. How can you claim privacy now? I mean, if you value privacy, why flaunt your lifestyle?
* 12) Don’t you think that far from Brian being the one insulting Filipinos, the sins that you allegedly committed have done far worse damage to the image of our country and our people?
* 13) You claim that Brian is just using his blog to extort money from you. Normally, an extortion act goes like this: the extortionist calls up the, uh, extortionee and demands that if the extortionee doesn’t pay up, he will expose the skeletons in your closet. In his blog, Brian has exposed so much dirt about you that it would make a fertilizer factory extremely happy. Why would he risk his chances of not getting that money from you, if indeed it was extortion?
* 14) And if indeed it was extortion, why threaten to sue him with libel and defamation, and not extortion or some such related crime?
* 15) You claim that you came out because you felt the issue had gotten out of hand. Weren’t you concerned that by coming out, you are doing exactly what Brian wanted — lend his story some credibility? Before this, people actually thought this was just a person seeking attention. By coming out now, by confirming essentially Brian’s story, you’ve just added fuel to the fire. Now, the mainstream press — which exerts far more influence than all the blogs put together (contrary to their delusions that they can now change the world) and which had protected your identity for so long — can write about this without NOT mentioning you or bleeping your name. Who advised you to come out?
NO the best fishballs is near ECON!
cool! now this' what im talkin' about.just like opening a can of worms!! some people want their money back.
parang telenovela ito!

just a question: why is it that brian has never revealed if he and dj had had sex?
Cowards will always run away. DJ Montano should just pay him back and end this three ring circus.
LOOK IN SAN FRANCISCO. THat's the last place I heard. When all else fails, think about 'red herring' tactics and false trails. Foxes and Birds sometimes make multiple dens/nests to evade bigger animals aned shake them off the trail. Since the U.S. is tougher than a chestnut to break into, the likelier place of refuge is CANADA. Vancouver or Ontario for the Asians. Laying a trail of breadcrumbs to the U.S. might just be another way of raising his profile as an exile, when he is (in truth) slithering in less glamorous locales.
Good luck with the hunt. I wish you justice.
A
Montano needs to be jailed.
arrest DJ Montano for illegally entering the United States! shame on him! it's so hard to get a US Visa!, while these people can freely roam the country with an estafa case! it's so unfair!! They should deport DJ Montano and put him in jail!!
He has to come back here eventually.
The Gucci Gang controversy is a series of events that involved an Australian blogger Brian Gorrell who published his accusation against his former boyfriend—identified as DJ Montano—of swindling him of money totaling US$70,000. Gorrell's blog, which was first published on March 4, 2008, has also accused Montano's well-to-do friends, whom he tagged as "Gucci Gang", of attempting to cover up the deed and striking back at him.The blog has since become a major gossip topic in Philippines' capital city Manila, exposing its high-society youths' alleged freeloading lifestyle and addiction to cocaine. It has also tested Philippine and Australian online libel laws, and raised questions about the extent of freedom of speech in blogging.
grabe!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you brian gorrell for exposing what the whole world wants to know about celine lopez and dj montano.
these two OBNOXIOUS bitches parade around town like they own the place, feeling untouchable thanks to their connections.
i don't understand why vapid useless bitches like them are constantly championed by the media when they are SO evil and rotten behind close doors.
these two should be ashamed and stoned for their crimes against you and should serve as a lesson to others who want to follow their footsteps.
Manila's society is so riddled with the fakes. Just like in greenhills. Wasn’t Tina Ocampo deported from Europe for using a fake LV luggage? And isn’t the Ocampo couple notorious for not paying their suppliers? And to think they projects themselves to be in high society. This is another couple whose husband is gay.
There are so many of them. Its fun to watch them party and see them in social climbing magazines like the Philippine Tattler, the EIC of whom is the biggest fucking faggot social climber of them all, Anton San Diego. Wasn't he Raul Manzano's flavor of the month for sometime back in the 90’s? And wasn’t Raul the one who introduced him to the society crowd? Kitty Go’s description of him in her book is so accurate.
When DJ used to own and run the aquario-raj-whatever restaurant group in malate, he used his investors’ moneys to clothe himself and his sister, Marvili. In fairness, she sacrificed a lot and worked her ass off running the chain for her brother while he pillaged the cash register for his habits. I hope she’s doing better now.
I read earlier that he scammed Consuelo Zamora, cousin of Cecile Zamora van Straten (whose dad, incidentally, is number 27 in Forbes list of 40 richest Pinoys). So true, I pity the girl, may she rest in peace. She was swindled of millions of pesos in investment which she never got back until she died. DJ, where did you spend the company’s money at that time? Coke, ugly branded clothes, trips….
Miguel Rosales, I agree, is a nice guy mixed up with the wrong crowd. But get to know him more and you’ll find out he has acquired the bitch attitude of his friends. Feeling diva!!! Not really good naman as an interior designer. All copies. Just like Ito Kish. Who incidentally is not part of the Gucci gang but am sure dying to be part of it. Another publicity-hungry-social-climbing-brand-conscious-sex-addict-lowlife who sleeps with anyone with a cock.
Hindy Weber-Tantoco is another bitch. She thinks just because she has Tantoco in her name, she reached the pinnacle of society. Actually Hindy, do you know that the Tantoco name (not Huangs of SSI) is so destroyed outside the Philippines? It owes so much money abroad that no other retailer would dare deal with you. But still, may naloloko pa din, just like DJ. So Hindy, stop acting like you can buy the whole world because you can’t really afford it bitch!!!
I never liked Celine Lopez. I use to live near her parents place in Dasma (clue) when she still stayed there. Modest size house. Ours is even bigger. But they got lotsa cars, more than ours. Her mom is a known whore in her time. She stole her dad from the first wife. Celine is smarter though. She will not marry Marcel for money. Get it without the contract, fuck him to make him happy, then leave him for another moneyed guy. Celine’s columns at the Star are trash, just like her. I wonder why the Star hires such people. When I saw DJ writing for the Star, I immediately knew he got the job because of Celine. So I stopped buying the Star because the quality of the writers have gone down. Plains & Prints should stick with Gretchen, her scandals are not of this proportion.
Then Tim Yap writes too. And he writes so that he could get payments for “endorsements” he does in his columns. He easily charges P200K to host an event and bring in the “crowd”. And he dupes companies into his schemes. He once refused to be part of a TV show because, according to him, “I’m not out as a gay person”. And the show required him to be gay, even unspoken. Who doesn’t know he’s gay? Puta TIM!!! Do you really think ang tanga-tanga namin??!!?? Tang ina ka talaga!!! Who do you think you are? Society’s shit is out in billboards. I gave Technomarines for Christmas, even if it was a lot more expensive than ODM’s. Just because you endorse ODM. Fuck your endorsements!!! I never patronize them anymore.
Fuck you DJ Montano

just a question: why is it that brian has never revealed if he and dj had had sex?
May 4, 2009 2:57 PM
*******************
DJ Montano was my boyfriend. Of course we had sex although it was never very good. Looking back, it's probably something he felt he had to do.... however DJ did love getting rammed from the back. He also enjoyed it when I was role playing with tough guy talk. He was very loud. Especially when I would slap his ass.
There you go. It's confirmed.
I had sex with DJ.
HELLO!!!!!!!!
DJ told me my HIV was not an issue because safe sex is still great sex (which is soooo true btw)..... and DJ dated another HIV positive man and screwed him too for money and other things. DJ has been at this scamming thing for quite a while. But I am not nor will I ever be at liberty to tell that story or name the name. Not even in the book. It would truly ROCK the Philippines to its very core. But I will tell you, the person is very famous and very HIV positive and known to all.
I have written about my sex with DJ many times on my blog. He was a lousy lover and always had a bucket of spit in his big monkey like jabber jaw mouth. I swear I have NO idea what I saw in him now. He's short and has a wonky body. But anyone could have got me back then right off the mark. I was a very sad guy when i met him. DJ saw that and pounced within minutes and his game began.
DJ lives in San Fransisco.
We will find him.
I will not rest until DJ and his cohorts are charged and found guilty in a Philippine court.
Yep.. the sex is never any good when your stinking partner is aids infested- DUH!
DUH! DUH! DUH!
Some nerve idiot. Make sure your partners know from the get-go next time. FYFI.
The boyfriend is Japanese-American Brian, Good luck with the court case. Will keep my eyes and ears open.
don't stress yourself with this family of fucktards.
anyone with half a brain can hear the monotone that DJ used when he was denying that he did not get money from you.
a little while ago before i saw the video (i am in thailand so i dont have immediate access to tv patrol) i was so eager to watch it and now that i have, i wish i hadnt.
it was so tasteless. such a pathetic liar.
don't worry, he'll get what he deserves. in due time he will.
karma is always karma,,,,,,,,,,i knew him pretty well.
he's so pathetic and a c*nt! justice is not enough for him he will be alive thinking about what people said because why? he's living with reality and he can't get away from it as long he don't have any conscience.
MABUHAY KA BRY!
craig I think often visit malate!!!!
Im not sure!!!!
but I think so!!!!
ok I will add a bounty reward!!!!
