From GMA News - Sen Sonny Trillanes files plunder case vs. Sen Richard Gordon
From CNN - Trillanes files plunder case vs Gordon
Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV made good his threat to file plunder case vs. Sen Richard Gordon. In a 22 page (24 sa CNN) affidavit that he filed before the Ombudsman today, Trillanes alleges that:
1. From 2004 to 2011 Gordon used his PDAF worth P193 million to the Red Cross and Sen Dick conspired with the Sec. Gen Gwendolyn Pang for anomalous projects ( CNN report mentions the total is about P400 million
"In a 24-page document, Trillanes said Gordon allocated P193 million from his Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) to Red Cross from 2004 to 2011, with some funds coursed through the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
He added another P200 million was allocated from Gordon's PDAF to Red Cross with the help of former Red Cross Secretary General Gwendolyn Pang. Pang is also facing charges."
Who is Pang? That is the pretty lady at the left
2. That the disbursements/projects were made without approval of the Board of Governors,
3. That the disbursements were made without benefit of public bidding as is required for govt funded projects by an NGO
4. That Sen Gordon continued to be trustee of Red Cross despite being a Senator in violation of Govt Laws: ethics and corrupt practices act.
5. It was alleged that the funds so diverted were used in Presidential and Senatorial bids of the Sen Dick
We still wish to ascertain the charges.
Some criticism
1 What ever it is it seems that the senatorial candidates especially those who are not well off or who do not have financial backers are forced to commit high crimes. As was in the case of Sen de LIma. She allegedly used the Drug Lords at Bilibid to fund her candidacy
2. And now Sen Dick Gordon as alleged.....
3. Di dapat pala 4 Senador, Sen Dick included ang nakulong. Selective justice nga ba Ombudsman?
Many Pro Dutertes hate the guts of Trillanes saying he is off his rockers and is crazy. But he was an honor graduate of PMA and multiple skills and is making a lot of sense. His charges are well researched thought of and planned, and very smart as he conducts his questioning
Many vs Duterte are glad there is Sonny Trillanes. What do you think
