It is very possible that plunder cases will be filed vs Sen. Cayetano. Little by little the opposition to the majority are being silenced and the obstacles the votes to defeat impeach Sara Duterte are falling by the wayside. Shall we expect more?
The head of BR committee has been joked as the new Palace spox specifically on the Zaldy Co video on the Php 100 billion budget insertion and that the underlings of the Palace were behind the insertion. He has unofficially replaced Auntie Claire.
That could have been OK but he is the head of an investigating body ferreting out the truth behind the flood control mess. But now he has taken a position and makes him unqualified for the said post
Various names were mentioned by Usec Bernardo in his testimony at the Blue Ribbon committee and there were several: Binay,, (Angara, Revilla) Villanueva. Earlier, Estrada, Escuderos name was dragged into the mess. Will there be more. Will a quorum be lost at the Senate? Will they be recalled? or can they be ousted?
Even Sen Marcoleta is even suspected of having a COI, his wife being an independent director of Stronghold insurance, a vendor of performance bond of the Discayas.
He says a cop knows this. The payment for the assets in intelligence gathering have to be protected. Hence their identities must be kept secret (The leftists are keen in knowing who they are) That is why we have Mary Grace Piattos and other fictitious names.
Those not in the know my mistake this as graft and make this as ground for impeachment.
Thus asking PSA to verify this is pointless and does not make the confidential funds confidential. Marcoleta, fmer COA commissioner Rowena Guanzon, the Ombudsman have made this clear.
The DBM CoA joint memorandum does not require receipts and liquidation via closed envelope and reviewed by a Director.
Noting the comments of Cong Dante Marcoleta on Quadcom:
1. The legislation to be made should have come ahead instead of the investigation and then the legislation comes.
2. The legislature should have called upon investigating bodies to account for the investigation rather than doing the investigation themselves;
3. Allowing a separate Senate committee hearing may not result in similar outcome and throws the two houses in bad light, and cast reasonable doubt and confusion on Quadcomm hearing.
4. Some declaration affidavits may be hearsay;
5. Some affidavits were drawn up while under detention and could have written under duress, and may void the written affidavit. Who provided the computer, the printer, ??
