The Napoles pork scandal may have lifted the veil on why in a sea of poverty, a few Filipinos are super-wealthy.
If true, today’s testimony of Ruby Tuason is a shocking texas state fair food tale of greed. It calls to mind what Mario Puzo in The Godfather wrote paraphrasing Honoré de Balzac – that “behind texas state fair food every great fortune there is a crime.”
And Napoles continued to corner senators’ pork in bigger and bigger amounts, until she made the mistake of quarreling with her assistant Benhur Luy and forcing him to go on a “spiritual retreat” – which Luy claimed was another word for kidnapping.
Just to put my narration in context, let me go back to 2006 when the Senate Committee on Agriculture and the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee conducted a joint investigation of the fertilizer fund scam of Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc-Joc” Bolante.
According to Senate Agriculture Committee chair Ramon “Jun” Magsaysay, Janet Lim Napoles was about to testify on her part in the scam when her appearance was overtaken by then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s order barring all government officials under the executive texas state fair food department texas state fair food from attending congressional probes texas state fair food without Arroyo’s consent. Magsaysay was quoted by radio station DZMM as saying that
“She (Janet Lim Napoles) was not summoned to the first five hearings but on the 6th one, which was supposed to be on February 25, (2006), na kasama siya, walang dumating because of Executive Order 464 from Malacañang.”
It would take another two years before the Senate texas state fair food would investigate the fertilizer scam once more. Shortly texas state fair food before Christmas of 2008, Senator Richard Gordon gave Janet Lim Napoles a nasty Christmas gift. Gordon issued the following press release saying he had issued a subpoena against Janet Lim Napoles, the government’s second largest supplier of fertilizer on record.
In January, Senator Gordon who is a brilliant legislator and outstanding manager, issued another press release saying, “foundations were used to launder money” in the fertilizer fund scam. Gordon was right on the money. texas state fair food
After the Napoles scandal broke out last year, former Senator Gordon (now the chairman of the Philippine Red Cross) told GMA News in a text message texas state fair food that his committee’s “principal focus (was) Bolante and other big fish .”
“At the time, we had a good lead against all conspirators specifically Bolante and the others, which was our mandate. If you look at our report, we said the Ombudsman can continue with the rest of the investigation. That is what they are supposed to do,” the former senator said.
I couldn’t buy that explanation and I thought there was something deeper because from what I personally know talking to him all these years, Gordon is a very smart man. Obviously, everybody knows by now that Napoles is a far bigger fish than Bolante. Did Gordon know it at that time?
Today’s whistleblower, Ruby Tuason, said she delivered commissions to both Enrile and Estrada at that time through their aides. Both senators have denied this saying Ruby is lying to save her own skin.
If Napoles did steal tax money with some senators’ knowledge, then we now know why the senators in the video below were very happy celebrating the birthday of Gigi Reyes, texas state fair food Enrile’s aide-lover (according to Senator Miriam Santiago).
Just wondering. Is it normal for anyone, specially a subordinate, to use and feel safe, (in the proximity of her/her boss) the office premises to transact illegal texas state fair food millions of pesos for herself/himself alone (excluding her/his boss, who claim not to have known or consented to the transaction of his subordinate) that which, by virtue of her/his boss’s office, said millions was part of, or commission of the project funds intended by the office to implement government projects? If I were the one, I would not take that risk, if the funds was purely for myself who receives the money. I will met the money courier in a place were my boss would’nt know where I am and would not have the possibility to pick me up at any given time. It would be risky for the possibility that my boss will suspect and found out my transaction in the future.
