Hypocrisy

Bogo jud ni si Bro Meo... Before na gipriso si GMA ug bisan ug lig-on na ang ebidensya, gipalig-on pa gyud ug maayo sa Ombudsman ug gipasaka sa Sandiganbayan...Tungod sa kalig-on sa ebidensya pwede sya prisohon kay dako man kaayo ang salaod iyang nahimo ..... Prehas na ni Gwen Garcia na bisan lig-on ang ebidensya wala pa prisoha tungod sa Due Process...

wala man siya na priso kay guilty siya, hospital arrest gani kay waiting pa siya sa resolution/verdict sa iyang case. On trial pa siya sa 2 case nabilin. kung lig-on ang cases nganong nagkadismiss ? kapila na ingnon non-bailable ang offense mao di siya kagawas dili na kay lig-on or dili ang case. lmao kinsa bogo ron ?

Bogo jud ka Romeo.... Gipriso na gane na.. Pero nagsakit2x man.. Nagwheelchair naman ug gibutangan ug atik2x ang iyang liog.. Naluoy tawn ang Gobyerno ni Pnoy mao nang na Hospital Arrest.. Sulod sa dugay na natong debate Romeo ug wala gyud ni nako gamita na word karon moingon na jud ko na Bogo ka...

^ Romeojin:" hospital arrest gani kay waiting pa siya sa resolution/verdict sa iyang case."

FYI: Kanang Hospital Arrest same ra na sa Gipriso tungod sa rason akong giingon sa unahan na nag wheelchair dayon si GMA... Mao na Romeo.. Wala ko nagpasabot na Guilty o Convicted na si GMA.. Gipriso nana siya kay non Bailable man na.

Kinahanglan ko gyud ni ipasabot ug maayo kay naglibog ko asa gibutang ang utok... Nakasabot namo ni Monroy?

SC affirms junking of charges vs Arroyo over 2004 misuse of OWWA funds

MANILA, Philippines -- The Supreme Court has affirmed the Office of the Ombudsman's dismissal of the criminal charges filed by former Solicitor General Francisco I. Chavez against former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, et al. in connection with the alleged misuse of Overseas Workers Welfare Administration funds in 2004.

In a two-page minute resolution dated Jan. 17, 2013, the SC's Third Division denied the petition and upheld the Feb. 10, 2012 memorandum and Sept. 25, 2012 supplemental memorandum of the Ombudsman for petitioner Chavez's failure to show any reversible error committed by the Ombudsman.

The SC agreed with the Ombudsman in dismissing the complaint against Arroyo, et al., holding the transfer of OWWA funds to Philhealth is valid, and the OWWA funds were used legally.

"Unless tainted with grave abuse of discretion, the judgments and orders of the Ombudsman shall not be reversed, modified or otherwise interfered with by the Court," the resolution said.

In his petition for review on certiorari, Chavez sought the reversal of the assailed Ombudsman rulings approving the resolution of a Dept. of Justice Panel of Investigators that recommended the dismissal of malversation charges against Arroyo for the alleged illegal transfer of P530,382,445 in OWWA Medicare Fund to the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation and of the US$ 350,000 from the OWWA Capital Fund to several labor attachés in the Middle East during the United States-Iraq crisis.



NBN-ZTE testimonies vs GMA, allies branded hearsay

Written by Charlie V. Manalo Tuesday, 07 May 2013 00:00

Testimonies of witnesses presented by government prosecutors yesterday on the graft case filed against former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (GMA), her spouse, and a list of former government officials in relation to the cancelled National Broadband Network (NBN) deal with Chinese supplier ZTE were branded as hearsay after the witnesses admitted their knowledge on the controversial deal was based only on what they heard and what other people told them.
Former Gabriela Rep. Lisa Maza, one of the complainants in the case, told the Sandiganbayan Fourth Division that the main basis of the case filed against Arroyo, who is now a Pampanga House Representative, her husband, lawyer Jose Miguel Arroyo, former Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman Benjamin Abalos and former Transportation Secretary Leandro Mendoza, was the Senate blue ribbon committee report which conducted an investigation on the deal in 2007.
When asked to comment on the testimony, Lawrence Arroyo, counsel of the former President, said all that was presented was hearsay evidence.
“It was all hearsay, they heard it from other people. They don’t have any personal knowledge on the deal but based only what other people, specifically from what the opposing side, had told them,” Arroyo said. Aside from the Senate report, Maza also admitted that her other source of information on the complaint was her conversations with former Speaker Jose de Venecia and his son Joey de Venecia, the losing bidder in the broadband project.
When asked by Ruy Rondain, counsel of the former First Gentleman, if she also sought to clarify the allegations from any of the accused in the case, Maza said she did not.
She also admitted that she and her other complainants in the case, namely Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casino and Bayan Muna Chairman Carol Araullo, deliberately did not include the former Speaker and his son as respondents in the complaint they filed despite the fact that the Senate report also included them as culpable for graft and corruption.
When asked why they excluded the two when they were also found to be culpable, Maza reasoned out that it was because in their opinion the four accused were the ones directly involved in the case.
“I think the two (former Speaker and Joey de Venecia) were not directly involved,” Maza said.
The Senate report found the younger De Venecia violated the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act because his company, Amsterdam Holdings Inc., filed a proposal for the NBN project even when his father was Speaker of the House at that time.
The former Speaker was also found to have violated the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act for his direct participation in the deal in which his son was involved as well as violating the code of ethical standards among government employees.
Another prosecution witness, newspaper columnist Jarius Bondoc, also admitted that all his information regarding the botched deal was taken from what was told to him by his informants and former Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Romulo Neri.
Bondoc, who broke the broadband controversy in a column in April 2007, however, refused to divulge his other sources to protect their identity.
Like Maza, he also failed to get the side of the accused in the case and when documents showing the advantages of the NBN ZTE project over the proposal pushed by De Venecia came out, he did not anymore write about it the issue was already being extensively written by the press.
Bondoc also admitted that he is related by affinity to the De Venecia’s since his wife, Marissa, is a niece of the former Speaker and Joey de Vencia is her cousin.



No evidence to prove GMA pocketed PCSO funds — witness
Written by Charlie V. Manalo Thursday, 31 January 2013 00:00

The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office plunder case against former President Gloria Arroyo and her co-accused is slowly disintegrating as the main prosecution witness admitted that the only evidence the PCSO has on the plunder charge has against Arroyo is her marginal note saying “OK” with her initials GMA.
Lawyer Aleta Tolentino, the main witness in the plunder case involving the alleged misuse of PCSO confidential intelligence yesteday reiterated her earlier testimony that they found no evidence to show that the former president pocketed even a portion of the P366 million subject of the case.
Tolentino, a member of the PCSO Board of Directors, during the continuation of her cross-examination before the Sandiganbayan said aside from her marginal note “ok” with her initial “gma” in some of the requests for CIFs made by former PCSO General Manager Rosario Uriarte, they do not have any evidence to prove that she received or benefited from the PCSO funds.
“That is all we have, Sir,” Tolentino said, responding to a question propounded by Anacleto Diaz, counsel of Mrs. Arroyo, during the hearing for the petition for bail filed by the said accused as well as former PCSO Chairman Sergio Valencia, former PCSO Directors Manuel Morato, Raymundo Roquero and former PCSO Budget Officer Benito Aguas.
In her previous direct testimony, Tolentino said Arroyo, as then the President, was required by law to approve releases of CIFs.
Tolentino also admitted that the new board of directors did not anymore file an appeal to the Commission on Audit (CoA) with respect to the credit notices it issued in favor of Uriarte and Valencia for all the cash advances they made as PCSO accountable officers, including the CIFs disbursed to them.
A credit notice is being given by the CoA to a government officer as proof that he had sufficiently liquidated and settled all his cash advances.
She said the new PCSO Board decided to just file a criminal case for plunder against the accused, including former CoA Chairman Reynaldo Villar and CoA Director Nilda Plaras, instead of first questioning the credit notices to the CoA as required by law.
“We did not anymore pursue the administrative aspect. We just pursued the criminal aspect,” she said.
Tolentino further stated that aside from Aguas, who was then still connected with the PCSO, they did not seek a clarification on the CIF from any of the accused in the case before they decided to file the plunder case.
Diaz said by failing to file a timely appeal on the credit notices, the same are deemed to be final and could not anymore be re-opened for review.
Diaz also noted that the COA did not make any finding, based in the yearly reports they issued on the PCSO, that there were excessive withdrawals made by the accused as members of the then Board of Directors.
On the alleged co-mingling of funds made by the accused that made it possible for them to increase their CIFs, Diaz argued that the law, specifically PD 2029 gives government owned and controlled corporations adequate “operational flexibility” in the management of their budget as compared to other governmental departments and offices.
Continuation of the bail hearing is set for today, Thursday.
