Court grants Arroyo’s plea to reset arraignment over plunder suit

MANILA — The Sandiganbayan on Monday deferred the arraignment of former President and Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo over the non-bailable plunder suit filed against her.
Arroyo, through her lawyer Anacleto Diaz, earlier sought the deferment of her arraignment to allow her to seek remedy before the Supreme Court (SC). The arraignment was reset to October 29.
Former Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) board member Manuel Morato’s arraignment was also reset to October 29. Morato is detained at the St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City due to a heart ailment.
“Their arraignment was reset to October 29 which according to the court would give them sufficient time to secure from the Supreme Court any temporary restraining order,” Sandiganbayan spokesperson Renato Bocar said in a television interview.
Both Morato and Arroyo, who were arrested last week over a plunder case in connection with the alleged misuse of PCSO P366-million intelligence funds, did not attend the scheduled arraignment Monday.
Although moved out of the intensive care unit of the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC), Arroyo’s doctors advised her not to attend the arraignment.
On Friday, Arroyo was said to show signs of coronary ischemia. She was told to undergo a stress echo test at the Philippine Heart Center or any hospital that offers the test.
Arroyo’s lawyers earlier filed a motion to place the former President under hospital arrest. The court had issued a subpoena to VMMC director Dr. Nona Legaspi to “substantiate” the Arroyo camp’s petition.
Although the prosecution did not object to the motion to place Arroyo under hospital arrest, it said they prefer the former President be detained in the Philippine National Police General Hospital and that she shoulders all hospital expenses.
Prosecution lawyers also insisted on Arroyo’s arraignment even if it had to be conducted inside a hospital.
Before her arrest, Arroyo was out on provisional liberty after a Pasay City court granted her petition for bail over a separate electoral sabotage case.
Meanwhile, former PCSO Chairman Sergio Valencia and PCSO Assistant Manager for Finance Benigno Aguas who was also charged with plunder entered a not guilty plea.
The preliminary conference for the two has been set on October 22. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)

Aside from the Malaysian leader, a delegation from Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) led by Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu is also attending the event.
“I am grateful for their participation in this very significant event which will mark the beginning of peace for the Bangsamoros,” Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Teresita Quintos Deles said.
She said the attendance of many foreign leaders to the ceremonial signing “confirms the broad support we have been getting from the international community.”
“The presence of OIC Secretary-General Ihsanoglu and the rest of the OIC delegation indicate their support for the Philippine government’s pursuit of a common development track and vision for the MILF and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF),” she added.
Composed of 57 member states, the OIC brokered the 1992-1996 GPH-MNLF peace negotiations that led to the signing of the Final Peace Agreement on September 2, 1996.
Malaysia, on the other hand, has been facilitating the GPH-MILF peace talks since 2001.
As of Sunday, those who have confirmed presence to the signing ceremony are ambassadors and emissaries from Egypt, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, US, Spain, Netherlands, Italy, Singapore, Turkey, China, Cuba, Russia, Indonesia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Angola, Netherlands, Laos, Thailand, Pakistan, Norway, Canada, Australia, Brunei, among others.
Also witnessing the signing rites are leaders and representatives from foreign development agencies who have been supportive of the Mindanao peace process.
These include the Center for Humanitarian Dialogue, The Asia Foundation, United Nations Development Programme, Japan International Cooperation Agency, Australian Agency for International Development, Conciliation Resources, European Union, United Nations Children’s Fund International Labour Organization, World Bank, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, United States Agency for International Development, Muhammadiyah, International Committee of the Red Cross, among others.
The signing will also be attended by the First Family, cabinet secretaries, civil society organization heads, and local and national government executives.
The GPH-MILF Framework Agreement is dubbed “mother agreement” that serves as a roadmap for the creation of the new Bangsamoro entity that will replace the current Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. (Jill Beltran/Sunnex)

MNLF leader backs blueprint of peace in Mindanao

MANILA — A leader of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) disagreed with the position of MNLF chairman Nur Misuari that the draft framework agreement will not serve as blueprint for permanent peace in Mindanao.
Hadja Bainon Karon, who is currently chair of the Bangsamoro Women’s Committee of the MNLF, said she was “overwhelmed” and “happy that at long last, peace, security and development will reign.”
“I believe that this feeling is also shared by most of the members of the Moro National Liberation Front which this representation is affiliated,” said Karon, who is also the vice governor in-charge of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Armm).
Misuari earlier said the framework failed to consult his group, a statement denied by government negotiators.
Karon said the Armm was endowed with vast natural and human resources that remain untapped owing to the armed conflict.
“We have enough workers to do both manual and skilled labor. All what we need are technical and financial support to explore these resources. Our resources must be explored to generate employment for our people. It must be tapped to generate economic activities and open livelihood opportunities for our people,” she said.
After the signing of the framework agreement on Monday, an Executive Order will be issued by President Benigno Aquino III to constitute a 15-member Transition Commission (TC).
The TC will draft the Bangsamoro Basic Law, which will be certified as urgent bill by the President and passed by Congress. It will then go through a plebiscite and ratified by people in the proposed Bangsamoro areas.
Meanwhile, the UK congratulates the Philippines on the historic signing of the Framework Agreement between the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in Malacañang on Monday.
UK Chargé D ‘Affaires Trevor Lewis, who attended the ceremony, said: “The signing marks the beginning of a new era for Mindanao and the Philippines as a whole. The messages of support for the agreement over the last week and the diverse mix of representatives at the signing in Malacañang underline the widespread commitment to a more peaceful and prosperous future. The road to full implementation will not be without difficulty. But the strong levels of support the Agreement has attracted will help the process get off to the best possible start.” (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)

Corona told to answer tax evasion charges until October 25

MANILA — Former Chief Justice Renato Corona has failed to convince the Department of Justice to give him three more weeks to submit his reply regarding the P150-million tax evasion case filed against him and two relatives by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
Corona asked Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to push the deadline to November 5 but the three-man panel of prosecutors handling the investigation opted for October 25 instead.
Corona, who celebrated his 64th birthday Monday, was no-show for the third time. He also failed to appear in the hearings scheduled on September 25 and October 5.
His co-accused and daughter Carla was present along with husband Constantino Castillo III to personally submit their counter-affidavit.
According to the BIR, Corona deliberately failed to pay P120.5 million in taxes as a result of his acquisition of pricey condominium units and a house during his 10-year stint at the Supreme Court.
Carla was also charged for violating section 254 of the National Internal Revenue Code (NIRC) or attempting to evade or defeat taxes in 2010 and violating section 255 or failing to file an income tax return for the same year.
Constantino, a physician, is likewise cited for evading taxes in 2003 and 2009 and failing to file an ITR in 2003. Both have an accumulated income of less than P3 million yet they were able to buy P43.5-million worth of properties in Quezon City.
The couple’s tax liabilities are estimated at P30 million. (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)

Kiefer Ravena still hoping for MVP’s return to Ateneo

MANILA — Kiefer Ravena, who is expected to banner the Ateneo Blue Eagles next year, expressed hope that top businessman Manny Pangilinan will reconsider his decision to cut ties with the school that racked up five straight UAAP men’s basketball titles.
Pangilinan announced his “complete and total disengagement” from his alma mater last September 21 over differences with the Jesuit-run institution on the issue of reproductive health bill and mining, one of his prized investments.
But he still joined the team in mass shortly after it swept University of Santo Tomas in the finals on October 11, describing it on Twitter as his “final act.”
“It’s still at the back of my head that one day that he will come back. If not for him, we won’t be able to get five straight championships. He’s one of the biggest contributors to our team and hopefully he can help us again,” Ravena, a former top rookie, told reporters.
After being in the doldrums in the 1990s, the Eagles soared high in the past decade as they won six crowns in the last 11 years. Pangilinan brought in Norman Black, who later turned out to be the most successful coach in amateur basketball in recent times.
Pangilinan also sponsored the Eagles’ summer trainings in the United States, which, in a way, contributed to the school’s sterling performance in the UAAP.
Rumors of Pangilinan turning his attention to Ateneo’s neighbor University of the Philippines swirled last week after he donated P5 million to the Alpha Sigma Fraternity on its 50th year. In his keynote speech, Pangilinan even poked fun on the Fighting Maroons, the perennial whipping boys in the eight-team field.
So far, the Eagles said they are not yet looking for someone who can fill Pangilinan’s shoes.
“I don’t think the school is doing it right now. I don’t think they are searching. Nobody can replace MVP as the patron of the school. If anything, we haven’t reached that point yet, whether how the team can be supported this time around. We can talk about that when we get there,” said team manager Paolo Trillo.

Abaya all set to leave Congress for DOTC

NCOMING Transportation and Communications chief Joseph Emilio Abaya is all set to leave the House of Representatives after the third reading approval of the proposed 2013 national budget in Monday’s plenary session.
“All my bags are packed, I am ready to go,” Abaya, the incumbent first district representative of Cavite, said.
As the chairman of the House committee on appropriations, the three-term lawmaker defends the proposed P2.006-trillion budget before the 286-member House of Representatives.
After the third-reading approval of the budget in the House of Representatives and Senate, a bicameral conference committee (bicam) will be created to reconcile the conflicting provisions in their version of the budget bill.

After the bicam report is ratified in both chambers, the proposed General Appropriations Act will be sent to Malacanang for President Benigno Aquino III’s signature.
Abaya was appointed as secretary of the Department of Transportation and Communications replacing Secretary Mar Roxas who transferred to the Department of Interior and Local Government after the tragic plane crash of the late Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo.

Comelec ‘too liberal’ in past party-list polls

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) “may have been too liberal” in the previous elections, its spokesperson said, after representatives of disqualified party-list groups slammed the poll body for being inconsistent in its rulings.

“The Comelec may have been too liberal in the past. Not anymore,” spokesperson James Jimenez said in a text message.
On Monday, the poll body disqualified 1st Consumers Alliance for Rural Energy Partylist (1-Care) and the Association of Philippine Electric Cooperatives (Apec).
Both groups have sitting members in the House of Representatives.
1-Care has two incumbent representatives, Michael Angelo Rivera and Salvador Cabaluna III, while Apec has one representative, Ponciano Payuyo.

Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. said the commission en banc unanimously voted to cancel the accreditations of the two party-list groups.
“We don’t think there is a sector for electricity consumers,” he said.

In an ambush interview, Payuyo said Comelec should be “decisive.” He said disqualification cases against his group were junked in the past 2001 and 2007 elections.

“We were disqualified before and we were forced to defend ourselves before and yet we were allowed to run. Not just once, but twice, 2007 and 2001,” he said.

Ako Bicol Representative Rodel Batocabe raised the same argument when his party-list group was disqualified last week to join the 2013 party-list race.

Batocabe recalled that two disqualification cases filed against his group in 2010 were both junked by the poll body.
Four Comelec commissioners, namely: Rene Sarmiento, Elias Yusoph, Lucenito Tagle and Armando Velasco, were among the poll body’s officials who upheld the Ako Bicol position in 2010.

Batocabe said Comelec is committing grave abuse of discretion and betrayal of public trust.

1-Care party-list Representative Rivera, for his part, said his group was surprised with the decision of the poll body because they knew they had a good record.

Rivera said “big men” from distribution companies are behind their disqualification.

1-Care, Apec, and Ako Bicol party-list groups vowed to appeal Comelec’s decision before the Supreme Court (SC).

But Jimenez said the poll body is confident that the SC will uphold its ruling.

“Comelec stands firmly on its decision, confident that it is in accordance with the essence of the jurisprudence, law and the Constitution,” he said. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)

Gatdula aides: Ex-NBI chief is innocent

FOUR former security agents of dismissed NBI director Magtanggol Gatdula submitted Monday their sworn statements to the Department of Justice (DOJ) corroborating the former bureau chief’s innocence in the kidnapping charges filed by Japanese national Noriyo Ohara.

At the continuation of the preliminary investigation, Gatdula also submitted his rejoinder-affidavit insisting that he has no personal or direct control over the NBI’s Security Management Division, which had original custody of Ohara.
“It is the Deputy Director of Administrative Affairs that has personally and direct control over the SMD, and not the NBI director. Thus, respondent Gatdula cannot be prosecuted for the acts of the NBI agents who are not under his direct control. Besides, herein respondent cannot be charged with a crime which he has no knowledge of,” he said in his rejoinder-affidavit.

Gatdula was sacked from his post by President Benigno Aquino III following the findings of the fact-finding panel of the DOJ that he not only covered up the abduction of Ohara and the P6-million extortion from her by an NBI-SMD team, but that he also was insubordinate when he failed to turn over Ohara to the Bureau of Immigration.

To disprove the allegations, Gatdula submitted the testimony of four witnesses, namely, Jackson Singh Gill, Julian Bautista, Alfonso Albay and Ricardo Martinez, who supported his claim that his supposed appearance at the detention cell of Ohara on October 29, 2011, constituted his complicity in the kidnapping.

Gatdula also said that Ohara was merely assuming that he had knowledge of the SMD operation just because, allegedly, he was not surprised that the complainant was detained in the SMD office.

“The truth is, I did not know she was being detained in the SMD. As per NBI agents, she was being rescued. Moreover, she was not handcuffed or locked in jail while being there at the NBI premises. She is even free to go in and out of the NBI premises,” he said.

“Taking into consideration the allegation of the complainant that the NBI director knew of the operation, it is quite illogical and unreasonable that the alleged mastermind of a crime will meet face to face with the alleged victim. No person in his right mind will face his alleged victim. This runs counter to logic, human reason and experience,” he added.

In the sworn statement of Gill, a security guard at the NBI, he said Gatdula was in his regular, routinary inspection of the NBI at the time of the incident, contrary to the claim of NBI special investigator Jose Odellon Cabillan, that Gatdula “appears to have prior knowledge and participation as well as in its cover-up” in the operation to abduct and extort money from Ohara.

Gill said that on October 29, 2011, Ohara and a Japanese policeman identified as a certain Hiruta were introduced by NBI Deputy Director for Administrative Services Rickson Chiong and Interpol Division chief Jun de Castro to Gatdula.

Gill said the Japanese nationals did not seem to be under duress during their visit to Gatdula’s office, and that they were even happy to see him when they entered Gatdula’s office.

After 15 minutes, Chiong, de Castro, Hiruta and Ohara left Gatdula’s office, with Ohara even smiling. Afterwards, Gatdula already left his office to proceed with his inspection of the NBI premises, which he does even on weekends.

Gill’s statement was corroborated by two other security guards, Albay and Martinez, and Gatdula’s security escort, Bautista, who all said that Ohara was not being held against her will when she and Hiruta paid a visit to Gatdula’s office on the same day that the NBI director supposedly saw her detained at the SMD detention facility.

Martinez further went on to say that he overheard Gatdula reiterating his instruction to NBI-NCR Regional Director Constantino Joson to release the Japanese woman who was brought in by Joson’s team once documentation is done. (JCV/Sunnex)

Recto quits chairmanship, withdraws report on sin tax bill

AFTER drawing flak for allegedly endorsing a watered-down version of the sin tax bill, Senator Ralph Recto told his colleagues on Monday that he has resigned as chairperson of the committee that suggested lower state revenues.
“I would like to apologize to you, Mr. President, and to my fellow senators if this move of mine will affect the flow of business in this chamber. But deep in my heart, this is for the best, for all of us,” Recto, head of the ways and committee, said in a speech.
Saying he doesn’t want to block the agenda of President Benigno Aquino III in reforming the tax scheme imposed on liquors and cigarettes, Recto also withdrew the Committee Report 411 to give the new chairperson a free hand to come up with a rough draft.
“Ang sa akin lang, ginawa ko ang trabaho ko, para masimulan na ang debate, at umusad na ang pagpipinal nito. At gaya ng inaasahan ko, may batikos. Isang malaking milagro na kung ang isang panukalang buwis sa bansang ito ay dededmahin lang ng mga magbabayad nito,” he said.
Under Recto’s proposal, the three-tier tax regime on cigarettes could yield between P9.8 billion to P14.8 billion in additional revenues, while alcohol would contribute by as much as P5.2 billion to P7 billion in the first year or in 2013.
By comparison, the version passed by the House of Representatives in June seeks to generate some P31.5 billion in taxes on its first year of implementation. Malacanang, however, is pushing for P60 billion.
“Kulang pa nga daw ang P60 billion, kung tutuusin ang kailangan nga ay P100 billion. Pero ito ang tanong ko: If you raise that amount, you will have to sell more unhealthy products that will cause more sickness and death,” Recto said.
Health advocates welcomed Recto’s decision to quit, which came after he was accused of favoring the proposal of industry leader Philip Morris Fortune Tobacco, which has a facility in his home province of Batangas.
“It is an honorable decision considering the mounting pressure from the civil society, health advocates and from the government agencies for him to consider the health objectives and revenue targets of the government in this sin tax bill,” said Emer Rojas, president of the New Vois Association.
An official of the Department of Health (DOH), however, said the development is not something to cheer for as they hope that the next panel chair would see the bill as a health measure.
“I’m sad that this has to happen rather than the Senate to move on for greater good of our people,” said DOH consultant for non-communicable diseases Dr. Anthony Leachon.
Recto, who is also chairman of the committee on government corporations and public enterprises, said he was not pressured by the ruling Liberal Party to resign.
