House to set test vote on reproductive health bill

MANILA — The House leadership is determined to finish debates on the highly divisive reproductive health (RH) bill before it goes on Lenten break at the end of the month.
Majority Leader Neptali “Boyet” Gonzales II said the voting on the termination of debates will be a “test vote” on the RH bill, now pending for second reading approval in the House of Representatives.
“You cannot make the RH bill suspended in animation,” Gonzales said Tuesday.
Congress will go on a six-week break starting May 24 to May 6. Plenary sessions will resume May 7.
“If the termination of debate will win, then the bill has hope,” Gonzales added.
Plenary debates on the RH bill started March last year. The controversial measure was first filed in the eighth Congress (1987-1992).
Less than 20 House members are still lined up for debate.

The growing array of hotel resort accommodation, recreation and entertainment facilities, places to unwind and relax, fine dining and family restaurants, bars and pubs makes it increasing easy for tourists and visitors from Manila to spend quality time in a place of leisure in Clark, Pampanga.

To many visitors from Manila, a place of leisure or a good hotel or resort in Pampanga must be located in a city that is safe, clean and not so noisy. Convenience and accessibility are important considerations in choosing a holiday destination in Philippines. Clark Freeport is probably the easiest tourist destination to reach from Manila. Clark also has its own international airport with dozens of daily flights connecting Clark directly with Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Bangkok, Malaysia and South Korea. Clark is home to some of the best golf courses in Pampanga. Although golf continues to be one of the reasons why visitors from Manila travel to Pampanga, residents of Angeles City, Subic and Bulacan travel to Clark not just to play golf in one of the best golf courses in Pampanga but also to relax and unwind in the best resort in Philippines.

Hotels, resorts, vacation rentals, fine dining and family restaurants, bars and pubs, entertainment, nightlife, place of leisure, sports and recreation facilities in Clark and Angeles Pampanga are showcased for the convenience of visitors planning a getaway from Manila or a weekend out of town to relax and unwind in a clean and safe city.

Spa is not the only way to unwind for people who are stressed out by Manila traffic and noise pollution.

Clearwater Resort & Country Club offers several styles of accommodation from US$65 up inclusive of breakfast for two at the beautiful Breakfast Garden Restaurant overlooking the large Clearwater lake and beach. This is a good rendition of the lifestyle that the Americans left behind after they left the Clark Airbase. A good short description of this lifestyle is suburban laid-back slow-paced clean living, very suitable for tourists and guests looking for a way to unwind from the stress of living in Manila.

In a city like Manila, most residents rely on visits to spa and beauty parlor to unwind and relax. But with a short getaway to Angeles City Clark Pampanga one can de-stress by enjoying beautiful outdoor amenities of this beach resort, savoring what nature can offer.

House Okays 75 bills on final reading

MANILA — Taking advantage of the one-week break from the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona, the House of Representatives on Monday approved 75 measures, including 21 national bills on final reading.
Among those approved on third reading are the Anti-Cable Television and Cable Internet Pilferage Act, Regulating the practice of Geology in the Philippines, Declaring December of every year as “Anti-Corruption Month”, and amendments to the Civil Aeronautics Act and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) charter.
Also passed on final reading is a proposed law exempting population and land area requirements in the conversion of a municipality into a component city if it has an average annual income of at least P200 million.
National measures proposing the creation of 39 branches of Regional Trial Courts (RTC) were also approved by House members. The new RTCs are spread across Negros Occidental, Agusan del Sur, Iloilo, General Santos City, Samar, Cebu, Cavite, Lapu-Lapu City and Lanao del Norte.
“This proves that House members are fully focused on their legislative duties. Credit goes to the collective leadership and the members of the majority as well as to the critical cooperation of the Minority. We continue to work silently but consistently,” House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. said in a press statement.
Quorum numbers dwindled in the House of Representatives since the start of Corona’s impeachment trial in the Senate.
Lawmakers also approved seven national bills on second reading, including House Bill 98 defining and penalizing enforced of involuntary disappearance.
“With this development, we are a step closer towards the advancement of human rights in the country. It’s about time that we enact a law that shall respond to the continuing issue of enforced and involuntary disappearances that have befallen many progressive Filipinos,” said Deputy Speaker Lorenzo “Erin” Tañada III, a principal author of the bill.
The measure proposes to include the liability of commanding officers or equivalent senior officials of the offender for failure to prevent, discontinue, or uncover an enforced disappearance.
Also approved on second reading is House Bill 5715 providing for the protection, security and benefits of whistleblowers.
Both HB 98 and HB 5715 are eyed to be passed on third reading before Congress goes on a Lenten break on March 21.

Group wants airport’s prexy out

ANGELES CITY – A multi-sectoral group asks Malacañang to replace Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) president Victor Jose Luciano instead of pushing for the retention of the name of the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA).
The Angeles City Multi-Sector Consultative Council (ACMSCC) in a manifesto denounced the move to rename the airport. It also requested President Benigno Aquino III to remove Luciano from his post as CIAC head.
According to the group, Luciano is being insensitive to the feelings of the Kapampangans and the Filipinos, who respect and hold high regards to the legacy of the late President Diosdado Pangan Macapagal.
In their manifesto, the group appealed to President Aquino not to be swayed by the proposals of Luciano.
“Rather than changing the name of the airport, the president should definitely consider replacing Luciano himself,” the group said.
“Ang panukalang ibalik sa Clark International Airport ang pangalan ng DMIA ay produkto ng sagad-sagarang kaisipang kolonyal (The move to restore the name Clark International Airport from DMIA is a product of colonial mentality) ,” Bhot Mangulabnan, a spokesperson of the group, said.
The group added that Clark Air Base is a former military installation of the United States, which became a symbol of incursion and American supremacy here in the Philippines and in Asia.
Covering 2,500 hectares, the Clark Aviation Complex used to be the central facility in the Clark Air Base of the United States Air Force until 1991 when the Senate ordered all US military bases in the Philippines closed and American troops pulled out.
Clark Air Base was named in honor of Major Harold Clark of the US Army Signal Corps who died in a seaplane crash in Panama Canal in 1919. In honor of this aviation pioneer, the American government changed the name of Fort Stotsenberg into Clark.
“Napalayas na natin ang mga Kano, kaya walang dahilan na panatilihin pa natin ang pangalang Clark hindi lamang sa airport, kundi sa buong lugar na ngayon ay ginawa na nating isang malayang kalakalan o Freeport zone (We have sent the Americans out, that is why there is no reason to keep the name Clark not just for the airport and for the place as well which is now a Freeport zone),” the group stressed.
At the same time, the multi-sectoral group said they will also conduct protest rallies and mass actions to prevent Luciano from implementing the CIAC board resolution renaming DMIA to CIA.
The CIAC board during its 10th special meeting on October 14, 2011 approved the resolution restoring the name of CIA.
The resolution states that it will restore the name “Clark International Airport” to refer to the Clark Civil Aviation Complex within the Clark Freeport Zone to enhance its international acceptance and to preserve its historical significance.
CIAC however clarified that it did not drop Macapagal’s name in the airport, noting that the Terminal 1 will be named as Diosdado Macapagal Terminal (DMT) to recognize the legacy of former President Diosdado P. Macapagal as the first Kapampangan to become the President of the Republic of the Philippines.
Clark International Airport was renamed to DMIA in July 2001 through a board resolution in honor of the late President Macapagal.

This Pampanga resort hotel is different from other hotels in Clark Philippines or hotel in Angeles City. This Clark Hotel has large outdoor space for children to play and adults to enjoy some peace and quiet in the picnic grounds near the lake. Guests like the Hotel’s café breakfast garden which serves the best breakfast in Pampanga. Clearwater Resort has nice ambience and wide space, much better than the other hotels in Angeles City and Manila Philippines.

Many guests like staying at Clearwater Family Inn Hotel Room in the picnic grounds of this resort in Clark Pampanga. Some like the trees in the resort camping grounds of this place of leisure. One can stay in other hotels in Angeles City but it is not often one finds amenities and ambience like Clark, not like Clearwater Resort in Angeles City Philippines.

Clearwater is a highly recommended place of leisure and a most frequently visited hotel resort in Pampanga.

City mayors league signs MOU with Hawaii

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) and the State of Hawaii represented by its top officials signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on March 1 to boost bilateral ties.
City of San Fernando Mayor Oscar Rodriguez, who is LCP’s president and Governor Neil Ambercrobie representating the State of Hawaii signed the MOU in Honolulu.
Rodriguez said it was the first time a Filipino mayor led the signing of the MOU, which he said was met with a standing ovation from Hawaii state officials and Filipinos there as he spoke.
“They were all very happy about the historic moment. Primarily the bilateral agreement focuses on arts, culture, education, business and trade as well as Hawaii’s maintaining sister state relationships between Cebu, Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, Pangasinan, Isabela, and Negros Occidental. The State of Hawaii is also seeking to expand its international ties and has interest in developing goodwill, friendship, and economic relations with the Philippines,” said Rodriguez.
The LCP-Hawaii MOU he added, is also seeking for opportunities in the sectors of health, tourism, and environment protection and conservation, renewable energy sources, water and sewerage management, juvenile justice system, mass transport, housing and social development for the benefit of Philippine cities.
The MOU, Rodriguez said, notes of the “common desire to maintain a close cultural, commercial and financial bridge between ethnic Filipinos living in Hawaii who occupy significant and very sensitive positions both in the Executive and Legislative branches who contribute to the prosperity and development of the State.”
It is in that note, he said of the MOU, “that the LCP recognizes the rich historical relationship between the United States and the Republic of the Philippines and there continue to exist valid reasons to promote international friendship and understanding for the mutual benefit of both countries to achieve lasting peace and prosperity.”

Philippines wedding planners and wedding reception caterers recommend Clark Philippines as this year’s premier destination for beach weddings and garden receptions. Wedding couples in Philippines no longer prefer traditional indoor venues and hotel ballrooms for wedding receptions in Manila, Angeles City, Subic and Clark Freeport.

Selecting a good and safe event venue in Philippines is not that easy. Many public event venues in resort hotels in Philippines can’t deliver assurances of safety and security. This exposes corporate and private events to risks that are not acceptable to event organizers in Philippines.

This exclusive hotel in Angeles Philippines is a place of leisure that is. The resort has the perfect ambience for a romantic beach wedding and a garden style wedding reception, exactly the kind of wedding venue we have been looking for to get married in the Philippines. Angeles City is near Clark Philippines and just 90 minutes from Manila. Clark is home to some of the best golf courses in Pampanga. Although golf continues to be one of the reasons why visitors from Manila travel to Pampanga, residents of Angeles City, Subic and Bulacan travel to Clark not just to play golf in one of the best golf courses in Pampanga but also to relax and unwind in the best resort in Philippines.

Garden style wedding reception can take place within a few meters from the beach of this hotel in Clark Philippines so guests and observe the ceremony at the comfort of their seats on the table.

Clearwater is a highly recommended and most frequently visited private resort in Pampanga. This Clark hotel is a famous private resort outside Manila for corporate planning because of its exclusivity.

It is important to visitor that the family feels safe in a hotel in Angeles Philippines. That is a main reasons that we choose to stay in this hotel in Clark Pampanga outside of Manila Philippines. Many don’t like the hotels in Subic or some of the hotel in Angeles City Pampanga. This highly recommended hotel in Angeles city Clark Philippines does not make them comfortable and secure.

Aquino rings opening bell at PSE

MANILA — President Benigno Aquino III led on Tuesday the ringing of bell in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) in Makati City to formally open the stock trading after the local bourse closed at a historic high of 5,030.80 points on Monday.
The President was joined in expressing the nation’s exuberance during the event by Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima, PSE chairman Jose Pardo and PSE director Eusebio Tanco.
In his welcome remarks, Pardo said this robust performance of the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi), the barometer of the country’s economic health, was a direct result of the optimism the country’s investors see and feel about the Philippines under the current administration.
“This historic rise of the index is a strong testament to the growing investor interest in the Philippines, the continued strengthening of our macro-economic fundamentals, positive outlook on the growth of our listed companies and more importantly, confidence in the administration’s good governance drive, among others, have been catching the attention of investors in both local and global markets,” Pardo said.
He added that since Aquino took over the reins of government in 2010, the PSEi’s historic rise “marks the 11th time this year and the 19th time under the present administration that the index has set new highs.”
“Since the first day of the President’s administration or in a matter of only 20 months, this index has already climbed by 52 percent,” Pardo said.
He vowed to work towards inviting more investors to invest in the Philippines in order to improve the index’s performance to breach the 6,000 point mark.
“Moving past the 5,000 (mark) signals the beginning of our journey to what I understand, Mr. President, was your requested commitment from our (PSE) Director (Eusebio) Eusi Tanco for the index to breach, not the 5,000 (mark) but the 6,000 level,” Pardo said.

6 killed in robbery, shootout in Panabo

MANILA — Six people, including a police senior inspector, were killed and another was injured in a robbery and shootout in Panabo City on Tuesday afternoon.
Southern Mindanao regional police spokesperson Senior Inspector Gretchin Cinco said two robbers, aboard a motorcycle, swooped down at Yidong Agri Supply at Purok Avocado in Cagangohan village around 1 p.m.
The store is owned and operated by a Filipino-Chinese businessman, Leo Apalie.
Cinco said the robbers, including one Dexter Marcellones, shot and killed the store’s security guard and driver – Edgar Mocos and Allen Jones Polo, respectively – and wounded warehouseman Darios Pilitos.
She said Panabo City policemen immediately responded to the scene but the suspects opened fire at the lawmen upon arrival, killing Senior Inspector Rene Angelo Alampa.
“The police companions of police senior inspector Alampay engaged the suspects in a shootout resulting in the death of the two suspects,” said Cinco, adding that one Irene Zamora was also killed in the shootout.

Getting to this beach resort in Pampanga Angeles City Clark Philippines
After entering Clark Freeport from Dau and Angeles City, proceed straight along the main highway MA Roxas, passing the stand-along wine shop called Clark Wine Center on the right, continue to bear right making no turns at all, go past Mimosa Leisure Estate on the opposite side of the road, one will hit a major intersection. Go straight and the road becomes Creekside Road. YATS Clearwater Resort and Country Club is on the right just 200m down.

Swimming in the lagoon by the white sand beach of Clark

Experienced event organizers place safety, law and order and privacy as the most important criteria for selecting a suitable venue outside Manila. They realize that unpleasant incidences can ruin the entire event causing anxiety among participants and taking all the fun away from a summer outing outside Manila. These event planners are no longer attracted to cheap package trips that promise much more than the resort or hotel can actually deliver. These packages invariably result in disappointments and complaints from the participants attending these company outings outside Manila.

Guests of past events have frequently praised their event organizers for the choice of venues. One of the most frequently cited reasons is the unique ambience that our properties in Clark offered. They were referring to not just the ambience of natural charm and beauty of the lake and picnic grounds but the general ambience of a country park. Clearwater for example, is a striking contrast to a busy city like Manila. It is not about the beach or the swim spots, not even the picnic grounds and other facilities of the resort. It is really the general feeling of being in a place that doesn’t force you to have to do something other than to relax, unwind and enjoy nature.
 
 
 
 

 
 
Here are some factors that event organizers are particular concerned about when asked to select a good destination for a company event such as corporate outing and team building, outside of Manila. Although the north is a highly convenient and rather attractive as a location for group outings and team building, event planners look at underlying issues when deciding on which hotel or resort to hold an event in Pampanga.

SAFETY CONCERNS

While participants pay attention only to the fun side of things, organizers as well as the management look out for their safety and wellbeing throughout the event. Although no one can guarantee absolute safety for their guests, the nature and location of the venue play a significant role in reducing exposure to safety risks. Here are some of safety advantages offered by our properties in Clark:

1. Clark Freeport itself is well known among event planners as a destination that has the lowest crime rate. Even the 60-minute journey to Clark offers not only the comfort of the refurbished NLEX-ScTex highway but it also means that it eliminates potential hazards of travelling on roads through small towns along the way. Once the bus gets on NLEX, the next exit would be Clark itself.
2. Properties of Yats in Clark like Clearwater Resort and Country Club for example are private establishments. Access is naturally restricted and as such, members and guests enjoy a sense of exclusivity while inside this property. Less interaction with the general public further reduces potential safety and security risks.

PROXIMITY TO MANILA

Clark is probably one of the most accessible event destinations outside of Manila not only in terms of distance but the quality of the journey. As mentioned about the direct link from Manila to Clark is all covered by expressways, not only does this make the journey by bus extremely comfortable, it makes the time of arrival very accurate. In other words, your event starts on time instead of one or two hours late because of some unforeseen traffic holdup in one of the towns that the journey takes you through.

The 60-minute journey from Metro Manila to Clark means even more to day-trip excursions. The extra 2 to 3 hours of time saved from the journey means more time to enjoy the facilities. Participants arrive fresh and ready for action instead of feeling exhausted and worn out from a long and tedious journey.

Renaming of airport an insult to Kapampangans

CLARK FREEPORT, Pampanga — Members of the Clark Development Corporation (CIAC) board should apologize to Kapampangans for renaming the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA), a former Clark official said.
Alex Cauguiran, former CIAC vice president for operations, lambasted the board, including CIAC president Victor Luciano and Clark Development Corporation (CDC) president Felipe Antonio Remollo, for approving a resolution renaming DMIA to Clark International Airport (CIA).
The CIAC board during its 10th special meeting on October 14, 2011 approved the resolution restoring the name of CIA.
The resolution states that it will restore the name “Clark International Airport” to refer to the Clark Civil Aviation Complex within the Clark Freeport Zone to enhance its international acceptance and to preserve its historical significance.
CIAC clarified, however, that it did not drop Macapagal’s name in the airport, noting that the Terminal 1 will be named as Diosdado Macapagal Terminal (DMT) to recognize the legacy of former President Diosdado P. Macapagal as the first Kapampangan to become the President of the Republic of the Philippines.
Clark International Airport was renamed to DMIA in July 2001 through a board resolution in honor of the late President Macapagal.
Cauguiran said the CIAC board resolution is deceptive and defective.
“[All members] of the CIAC board are all accountable for their action, I think for not making a thorough research before they approved the resolution [renaming the airport],” Cauguiran said.
He said legalities and guidelines were not studied well, and how the Kapampangans would react to the collective action was also not considered.
“Status quo (DMIA) should be maintained for now. CIAC should make public apology to the Kapampangans,” he added.
Cauguiran also stressed a guideline of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines that prohibits the renaming of the airport if it is already named after a former President.
“The tourists and investors will not come here because we have a good name. In the first place, who is Harold Clark as compared to former President Diosdado Macapagal? They will come here because the labor is cheap, the place is secured, and people are kind,” Cauguiran told Luciano.
Some members of the Pampanga Mayors’ League (PML) also said the initiative to rename the airport is an insult to the intellect and dignity of the Kapampangans.
“Isang kabastusan at pagyurak sa dignidad ng mga Kapampangan ang alisin ang pangalan ng dating Pangulong Diosdado sa ating airport kapalit ng pangalan ng isang dayuhan (It’s an insult to the dignity of Kapampangans to remove the name of former President Diosdado Macapagal in exchange for a name of a foreigner),” PML president Jerry Pelayo said.
Pelayo also questioned the loyalty of Luciano to the Kapampangans, after the latter openly admitted that he favors the renaming of the airport.
Cauguiran, now the chief of staff of Angeles City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan, also criticized a story of Sun.Star Pampanga, saying it did not reflect what really transpired during the dialogue on the airport renaming where Pampanga mayors echoed their strong objection against the CIAC resolution.
“It (story) focused on Ping Remollo’s role. Luciano, I think, is even portrayed here na parang hindi accountable sa ginawa nila. Him, being president of CIAC should know better,” Cauguiran said.
Luciano is the one peddling CIAC justifications on DMIA renaming in his press releases, said Cauguiran.
“Luciano even admitted that their board action overlooked the points raised by the mayors. In other words, admitting CIAC board’s mistakes. Luciano, Remollo, et al should all be made accountable,” Cauguiran said.
Luciano met with the local officials led by Pampanga Mayors’ League President Jerry Pelayo last Friday here.
The mayors informed Luciano that majority of their constituents are opposed to the renaming of DMIA.
Luciano also vowed to relay to the CIAC board the sentiments of the Pampanga mayors who are objecting the renaming of the airport.
Various groups in Pampanga reportedly threatened to stage mass actions if CIAC would implement the resolution.
Angeles City Councilor Willie Rivera, meanwhile, said he will file a resolution in the City Council declaring Clark officials persona non grata if they implement the renaming of the airport to CIA.
Meanwhile, Bacolor Mayor Jomar Hizon told Luciano to reconsider their decision as it could set a precedent in the future.
“Baka magpapalit-palit ang pangalan ng airport tuwing nagbabago ang administrasyon (Renaming of airport might happen as administration changes),” Hizon said. (Sun.Star Pampanga/Sunnex)

Corona may not be able to testify in his own trial

MANILA — The defense panel may think twice of bringing Chief Justice Renato Corona to the witness stand in his impeachment trial after the Supreme Court maintained that confidential information should not be disclosed by magistrates, court officers and employees.
In a resolution, the Supreme Court said “it cannot waive the privilege that belongs to the Court as an institution, not to any individual Justice, official or employee who may disclose these documents without the Court’s authority.”
“It is this sense that dictated the issuance of this Resolution, as well as the Court’s intense desire to fully be mindful and compliant with the separation of powers that the Constitution mandates for the three branches of government — the Executive, the Legislative and the Judiciary,” the five-page resolution read.
Corona’s lawyers, however, believe that their client can choose to defend himself before the senator-judges and his accusers from the House of Representatives.
“He is the one charged [with] an impeachable offense, hence, due process requires that he be heard if he feels he needs to testify,” defense spokesperson Tranquil Salvador III told Sun.Star.
Lawyer Ramon Esguerra echoed Salvador’s statement, saying Corona “should not be denied the right to defend himself.”
Lead defense counsel Serafin Cuevas said in a television interview last week that Corona should not testify since he could be subjected to grilling by the senators and objections will easily be thrown out.
“I believe this is not good because the members of the impeachment court can examine him on all angles and Justice Cuevas cannot object,” he said.
Earlier, the Court said in its February 14 resolution that the House prosecution panel cannot look into the records of pending cases that cast doubt on the impartiality and integrity of Corona.
Specifically, the Internal Rules of the Supreme Court prohibits the disclosure of the result of the raffle of cases, actions taken by the Court on each case included in the agenda of the en banc session and deliberations on pending cases and administrative matters.
Exempted from the guidelines, meanwhile, are cases and matters classified as public record such as the official appointment of Corona as Chief Justice in May 2010, and the resolution that allowed former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to leave abroad despite being placed under the government watchlist.
“The judicial privilege in the February 14, 2012 SC resolution refers to the internal deliberations and workings of the Court. I believe that the prohibition does not cover the CJ in this case,” Esguerra said in a text message.
Clerk of Court Enriquetta Vidal admitted that she failed to strictly follow the Court’s February 14 resolution after she furnished the Senate impeachment court with documents such as the logbook showing the date and time of Justice Lourdes Sereno’s dissent on the travel clearance given to Arroyo.
While this is considered confidential, Vidal said the document was submitted even before the Court released the guidelines.
Sereno’s dissenting opinion alleged that certain infirmities or irregularities attended the issuance of the temporary restraining order, such as the fact that it was implemented despite the failure of Arroyo to comply with all the conditions before the order could be fully effective.

Manila orders probe into property of Corona wife’s family

THE Manila City Government has ordered an investigation on the supposed expropriation of the 1,020.7-square-meter property of the Basa-Guidote Enterprise Inc. in Sampaloc, Manila entered by former mayor Lito Atienza with Cristina Corona, wife of Chief Justice Renato Corona.
Talks about the expropriation of the BGEI property, located along Legarda street and covered by Transfer of Certificate of Title (TCT) no. 76220, was approved by the City Government in a letter to BGEI in January 2000 to pave the way for the relocation of stallholders of the old and new Sampaloc markets who were displaced by the construction of the Metro Rail Transit Line 2.
The City Hall had made a last and final offer to buy the property at the price of P34,000 per square meter.
The agreement was finalized through a Deed of Absolute Sale dated March 26, 2011, signed by Atienza, Cristina, former secretary to the Mayor Emmanuel Sison, and former city legal officer Melchor Monsod.
However, in a two-page letter dated March 1, 2002, City Legal Officer Renato dela Cruz said the title to the property has not been transferred to the city’s name, as no record including TCT no. 76220 on file with the Register of Deeds would show any transfer.
Dela Cruz wanted to know the answers to the following questions: “Which department is in possession of the original deed of sale and to which department was the owner’s duplicate copy of the TCT surrendered? Was the title transferred to the city? If so, where is the new title? If not, why was the title not transferred?”
If the property has not been transferred to the City Government, dela Cruz said that capital gains tax should have been filed by the company, but the Bureau of Internal Revenue should have possession of the official receipt for such payment.
“We, therefore, request that efforts be exerted to determine what transpired after the execution of the deed and to locate the original copy of the deed, owner’s duplicate copy of TCT 76220, official receipt of payment of capital gains tax and other information relative thereto,” he said.
The letter was addressed to the heads of the City General Services Office, Office of the City Treasurer, Market Administrator and the City Engineer’s Office, copy of which was furnished to Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim.
Dela Cruz further warned that those who failed to comply with the City Hall’s directive may be charged with violation of Republic Act 3019 (anti-graft law) and gross neglect of duty.
According to de La Cruz, the investigation was ordered by Lim upon learning that the title of the BGEI lot had not been transferred to the city despite the payment it made worth more than P34 million over a decade ago.
He said the mayor wanted to find out whether the supposed deed had actually been executed, especially since the BGEI property has been dragged in the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Corona in the Senate.
Lim also noted that the property remained to be under the name of BGEI despite the full payment made by the City Government for the purchase of said property.
If there were violations in the execution of the deed of sale, dela Cruz said the city may file appropriate legal actions against Mrs. Corona and certain city officials involved in the sale of the property.
House prosecutors earlier made an issue of the BGEI property, alleging before the Senate impeachment court that the Chief Justice could not have received an P11-million cash advance from BGEI, a company owned by his wife’s family, in 2003 because its certificate of registration was revoked that same year.
Last February 16, a Philippine Savings Bank official testified in the Senate that Corona, through his wife, closed three accounts — whose opening balances totaled P32.6 million — on December 12, 2011, the same day House lawmakers filed the impeachment complaint against him.
Sought for comment, defense lawyer and spokesman lawyer Ramon Esguerra said the money in the Corona bank accounts was held in trust by BGEI, but that “the money is still intact.”
“Mrs. Corona received it in trust for the corporation. The check says so. She appears to be the administratrix of the estate of the Basa matriarch, and the city government paid the check to her in that capacity,” he said.
Esguerra said that while the defense panel has not officially considered adding Atienza in its list of witnesses, the lawyers have decided on presenting as witness the records custodian of the Manila City Hall, for whom they will ask the impeachment court to issue a subpoena duces tecum.
“In our list is the records custodian of the city of Manila simply to produce certified true copies of pertinent documents on the expropriation of BGEI property where the Sampaloc market is presently located. The check evidencing payment of the compensation is certainly relevant vis-a-vis the cash advances made from that fund by the couple Chief Justice and Mrs. Corona,” he said in a text message.
