Senate probers order arrest of rice traders linked to P500-M Subic smuggling case

Senate probers on Wednesday ordered the arrest of at least 20 rice traders suspected to be fronting for rice smugglers linked to the P500-million illegal rice shipment seized at the Subic free port.
At the resumption of the rice- smuggling inquiry on Wednesday, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile also asked the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to conduct a thorough background check of the trading companies and cooperatives believed to be used by the traders in seeking the release of the confiscated rice shipment.
Sen. Francis Pangilinan, chairman of the Agriculture committee conducting the inquiry, said the arrest orders were issued after Enrile moved to cite the 20 traders in contempt for repeatedly ignoring summons to appear at the Senate hearings.
The traders non-appearance prompted Enrile to suspect that the list of rice traders and their companies linked to the seized shipment were either fictitious or, “if they exist [at all], they are nothing but paper organizations and, therefore, dummies of certain interested and influential parties.”
Enrile then moved to direct the NBI to conduct a separate inquiry “into the background of those named and report the matter to the committee so that we can take proper action against them, including their principals.”
Enrile and Pangilinan learned at the abbreviated hearing that at least five of the 21 subpoenas for the summoned traders could not be served because the addresses were fictitious.
Senate process servers reported to the committee that among those who could not be located were: Efren John Frac of Chon Buri Trading, Jeffrey Daradal of Mahindra Rice and Food Trading, Jupiter Ong of Red Mountain Grain and Cereal, Jenny Alfonso of Wish Granted Enterprises, and Michel Cao of Swings Grans and Rice Enterprises.
As ordered by Enrile, the NBI is also expected to conduct background checks on the following: Emily Alabado of Ugnayang Magbubukid ng San Isidro, Crisanta Reyes of Malimpangpang Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Elpidio Mendoza of Sili Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Maximo Hernandez of Samahan ng Magsasakang Kapampangan at Katagalugan, Juanito David of Kapatirang Takusa Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Michael Villanueva of Jaded Ranch Grains Trading, Gil Calipayan of King Casey Trading, Sandra Lim of Lexant Trading, Louie London Teading, Willy Sy of Montevallo Enterprises, Enigo Espiritu of Nemid fusion Rice and GVRains Enterprises, Jason Colodado of Pure Country Trading, Dennis Gonzales of St. Dominique Rice and Food Enterprises, Jenny Reyes of West Point Cereals Enterprises, Ricardo Gatuz of Formosa Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Juanito Evangelista of riverview Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Ronaldo Valdez of Sitio Muzon Farmers Cooperative, Zenaida Abano of Sta. Cecilia Multi-Purpose Cooperative and Felix Villena of Ugnayang magsasaka sa Kaunlaran.
