From Philstar - De Guito got laundered money
The senate committee and RCBC Jupiter Branch Maia Deguito went into executive session where she promised to tell all. (She refused to answer questions in the open session) It was alleged according to Customer Relations Head Romualdo Agarrado who said he and a certain messenger Torres loaded P20 million into the Lexus SUV of de Guito (wow she can afford that SUV) on Feb 5, on the day that $20 was deposited into the account of Go. It was alleged that de Guito told Agarrado that she would rather do this than have her family killed.
A perjury charge will be made vs. right hand of de Guito Customer Relations Angela Torres who made in an affidavit that she saw the money being loaded into the car of William Go. She claimed that Deguito did nothing wrong. She has since resigned after being grilled by auditors. Agarrado claimed he never saw go in the branch. Deguito and Torres both came from East West bank where they used to work. (Deguito and Torres have been dismissed by their employer
RCBC Legal Affairs and Regulatory Head Ma. Cecilia Fernandez Estavillo revealed that in the internal investigation that the signature on the cards and withdrawal slips and the opening of account of William Go were not certainly his.
What else is new?
Testimonies of witnesses and the accused can be pack of lies and would throw statements to throw off the investigators. Like Deguito allegation that the top officials of RCBC knew of the transaction, that they will tell all.
In our organization, there are suckers to the falsehood being thrown (the red herring) to divert pressure from the accused and other witnesses.
It is too early for us to make conclusions but certain questions can be raised:
1. Did the branch manager act alone?
2. Is she part of the syndicate?
3. Is she a victim; was she merely a branch manager interested in levelling up her deposit that is why she got into this mess <from the kuwento of Kim Wong, while he is pointing fingers, and after knowing of his background, he and his Chinese friends worked closely. The could be part of an international syndicate, the same who worked with the Sri Lankan woman)
4. Did Deguito's boss really confirm the transaction?
5. Is she or she not well known to the President of the bank?
