Illustrated in this 1990 photo is the protest of senior citizen low income military veterans, who lived in the Dimasalang House, a San Francisco HUD subsidized Housing project for low income senior citizens.

These senior citizen war veterans included Raul Vincent Almacen and other survivor sof the Battan Corregidor world war two surrender.

Although these veterans publicly protested to HUD, US Department of Housing & Urban Development, the veteran's protests were ignored by Robert De Monte, the regional director of HUD, his officials as well as US Senator Dianne Feinstein, and San Francisco's District Attorney.

De Monte's karma caught up with him in an unrelated public corruption case DeMonte and other HUD officials were caught up in the HUD connection to the billion dollars worth of Heroin that was filmed by NBC News and the DEA in a Hayward California warehouse. Among the investors in that warehouse was US Representative Nancy Pelosi. She claimed ignorance of the Heroin.

The Dimasalang House, now renamed San Lorenzo, was and remains mismanaged by Antonio P. Garcia and his family of goons. His critics refer to Antonio as "The Filipino Godfather" because he fled the Philippine Islands to escape prosecution for other criminal offenses. Inexplicably, Garcia and his family of goons have not been extradited back to the Philippines to face long overdue prosecution.

In February of 1995, Jesus Abulencia, one of Garcia's goons maced or chemically sprayed Mrs. Honorata Casucay, a seventy seven year old widow of a world war two veteran living in HUD's subsidized housing-the Dimasalang. House.

After Mrs. Casucay filed a report with the San Francisco Police Department, Garcia's goons threatened her with eviction if she proceeded to prosecute Garcia's goons.

Other violent acts against military veterans and their widows included such intense harassment that a few senior citizens had strokes and heart attacks.

Again the local federals, HUD and the District Attorney Terrance Hallinan did nothing to protect these military veterans and their widow's human rights.

But when Hallinan was a candidate for San Francisco District Attorney, he didn't hesitate to seek out the support and votes of Filipino ethnic war veterans and their widows There are other instances of the abuse by subsidized and public housing managers who violated the rights of military veteran senior citizen tenants in San Francisco's and other California Public and HUD subsidized Housing.

In May of 2005, there will be a national conference held in Washington D. C., which is supposed to publicize the plight of the abuse of military veterans and the benefits due them but denied to them by the Veterans Administration corrupt administrators. At least two prominent veterans administrators have been caught, prosecuted and convicted of misappropriating millions of veteran's administration funds that were due to America's military veterans.

No one knows whether or not the Veterans administration conference will address the abuse of military veterans who are living in HUD's subsidized housing projects.
