Senate may admit bank records as evidence

THE Senate is inclined to admit evidence that the House prosecution has offered against Chief Justice Renato Corona, including details of bank accounts that his lawyers want stricken off the record, a senator said Monday.
Senator Panfilo Lacson said the general sentiment in the Senate is to admit as much evidence as the prosecution has marked and offered that they can, “and we will leave it to the defense panel to answer point by point all issues and pieces of evidence presented so far.”
He made clear, however, that that is still subject to discussion.
“That sentiment can change depending on jurisprudence,” he said.
The defense panel has asked the Senate to remove from the record evidence on Corona’s bank accounts at Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank) that the lawyers said the prosecution obtained through illegal means.
The prosecution has said photocopies it attached to a supplementary request for subpoena were from an anonymous source. Prosecutors also said on the request that they could not vouch for the authenticity of the photocopies.
Defense lawyers said details of the bank accounts should be disallowed since the photocopies on which the Senate based its subpoena violate bank secrecy laws.
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, meanwhile, said the admissibility of the bank details as evidence should not be debated anymore.
“(Admitting) that should be automatic already,” he said. “The entire country has seen the bank accounts by now, he (Corona) should just explain.”
The bank records were presented in connection with Article 2 of the impeachment complaint against Corona. Prosecutors said Corona did not declare money in the accounts on his Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth.
The Senate committee on banks has been holding a separate investigation on whether Corona’s bank records were leaked, or whether the documents submitted by the prosecution are fake.
“Of course, that will be relevant to the discussion to determine whether we will admit that as evidence,” Lacson said. He stressed, however, that it has yet to be proven whether PSBank or the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas was the source of the leak.
PSBank has said the photocopies from the prosecution were fake. The BSP, meanwhile, has denied touching Corona’s records.
One BSP examiner, Jerry Leal, is facing a contempt citation at the Senate for supposedly lying about having access to Corona’s records but has been given time to explain himself. (Jonathan de Santos/Sunnex)

High Court asked: Allow partial execution of land to farmers

A GROUP of Hacienda Luisita farmers asked the Supreme Court (SC) Monday to allow a partial execution of its November 2011 decision ordering the distribution of the 4,915.75-hectare sugar land estate of the Cojuangco family in Tarlac.

In a three-page motion, the farmers led by Noel Mallari said the execution of the land distribution despite the pendency of the motion for reconsideration filed by petitioner Hacienda Luisita Inc. (HLI) should be ordered considering that the issue on distribution was no longer being contested by HLI.
Mallari is the leader of a breakaway group of the bigger farmworker and beneficiaries (FWBs) called Alyansa ng mga Manggagawang Bukid ng Hacienda Luisita (Ambala), which has been regularly staging activities in front of the SC building to call of the High Court to already rule with finality on their case by dismissing HLI’s appeal.

Joining Mallari in his motion were 17 other FWBs. The farmers, however, filed their motion without the concurrence of a lawyer.
He said in their motion that HLI only raised issues on just compensation and stock distribution option for FWBs in their motion for clarification and partial reconsideration; thus, there should be no more legal impediment for awarding of land to FWBs who are no longer interested in the SDO.

“Apropos of the foregoing disquisition, the matter with respect to the placement or acquisition of the subject land under the Carp (Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program) through the compulsory or mandated land acquisition scheme is no longer a bone of contention so to say,” the group said.

“Absent any question about the acquisition and redistribution of the land under the Carp, the matter is therefore deemed resolved and it can now be considered executory,” it added.

Mallari said the SC may use its power to order partial execution of its orders under Section 2 (b), Rule 39 of the Rules of Court despite pendency of other issues raised in the appeal filed by HLI.

In its November 22 resolution, the Court affirmed its July 5 decision that the just compensation for HLI’s agricultural land that will be transferred for land distribution to the farmer-beneficiaries should be computed based on the valuation of the land in 1989, when the Presidential Agrarian Reform Committee (PARC) approved its SDP.

The Court said when PARC approved HLI’s SDP, it was only the time that farmer-beneficiaries were considered to own and possess the agricultural lands in Hacienda Luisita.

The justices also unanimously agreed that the contested land should be distributed by HLI to the original 6,296 farmer-beneficiaries pursuant to an order of the PARC in December 2005. The court likewise directed HLI to pay the original FWBs with over P1.33 billion it earned from selling the 500-hectare converted portion of the land estate. (ECV/Sunnex)

State commission opposes Allied Bank-PNB merger

THE Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) said it will pull all stops to prevent the merger of Allied Bank with the Philippine National Bank (PNB), saying the move could jeopardize the government’s stake at the private bank.
PCGG Commissioner for Legal Affairs Gerard Mosquera said the commission has asked the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Bangko Sentral Pilipinas (BSP) to do everything to prevent the merger.
In a letter to SEC chair, Teresita J. Herbosa and BSP Governor Amado Tetangco, Mosquera said the commission’s opposition to the proposed merger of the two banks is anchored on the following grounds: non-compliance with Section 77 of the Corporation Code, violation of Section 2 of Executive Order 2 series of 1986, and absence of specific approval from the Sandiganbayan.
Mosquera said Section 77 of the code provided that the merger should have approval by majority vote of the Board of Directors or Trustees of the corporation, which should be submitted for approval by the respective stockholders or members of the said corporations
The same law mandated that notice, either personally or by registered mail, shall be given to all stockholders for the said purpose two weeks prior to the date of the meeting.
The affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least two thirds of the outstanding capital stock of each corporation is needed for the approval of the merger while Section 2 of EO 2, “prohibits any person from transferring, conveying, encumbering or otherwise depleting or concealing such assets” that are the subject of litigation.
The PCGG official expressed belief that the absence of specific approval from Sandiganbayan, on the other hand, “will compromise the ability of the GRP (government of the Republic of the Philippines) to recover the subject Allied shares and will constitute a deprivation of the GRP’s right to property without due process of law.”
“The shares of stock owned by Mr. Lucio Tan and other principal stockholders of Allied Bank are presently under litigation and are the subject matter of an action for reconveyance pending before the Sandiganbayan,” Mosquera’s letter read.
“The PCGG is seeking the recovery of the shares of stock in Allied Bank on the ground that this is part of the ill-gotten wealth (of the late dictator, former President Ferdinand Marcos which was acquired through Lucio Tan when he acquired General now known as Allied Bank),” Mosquera said.
“To allow the merger involving shares which are under litigation is not only un-procedural, it infringes upon the substantive right of the GRP to recover ill gotten wealth,” he said.
He stressed that “at the very least, the merger should be held in abeyance until judgment in Civil Case 005 is rendered and attains finality.”
Allied Bank is about 75 percent controlled by Tan. He also controlled about 67 percent of PNB, which has a total assets of P240 billion.
The official admitted that the government would have a hard time recovering its Allied shares if the merger is allowed since the PNB, if the latter is the surviving entity, could argued that it was not the subject of a pending case.
At the same time, he said no government representative has ever sat on the board of Allied Bank.
The merger talks started in 2008 though it has not yet to materialize after being subjected to legal proceedings at the Sandiganbayan. (AH/Sunnex)

CA upholds Palace termination of Arroyo ‘midnight deal’

THE Court of Appeals (CA) has upheld a decision of Malacañang to annul the “midnight deal” between the Arroyo administration and a nickel mining consortium in Palawan over allegations of violations of several mining laws in three mining sites in the province.

In a 12-page decision penned by Associate Justice Samuel Gaerlan, the CA’s Fifth Division denied the petition filed by Narra Nickel Mining and Development Corporation, Tesoro Mining and Development and McArthur Mining Inc., seeking a reversal of the resolution rendered by the Office of the President on July 6, 2011.

The consortium had been granted a Financial or Technical Assistance Agreement (FTAA) to operate large-scale exploration, development and utilization of minerals in the towns of Rizal, Bataraz and Narra in Palawan.

President Benigno Aquino III cancelled the mining firms’ FTAA based on the complaint filed by another mining firm, Redmont Consolidated Mining Corporation, which alleged that the recommendation and approval of the FTAA in favor of the petitioners were done with grave abuse of discretion.

Redmont said there were violations of the mining law, its rules and regulations, as well as other applicable laws connected with the conversion of petitioners’ mineral production and sharing agreement (MPSA) and exploration permit applications filed in 1991 and 2001, respectively, to FTAA applications in 2007.

But according to the CA, the petitioners failed to substantiate its claim that the Office of the President committed grave abuse of discretion in ordering the revocation of the mining firms’ FTAA on April 6, 2011, and denying their motion for reconsideration in a resolution issued on July 6, 2011.

The CA turned down the argument of the petitioners that the FTAA can no longer be cancelled since it had already been approved by former President and now Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

It also claimed petitioners cannot argue that the OP cannot cancel their FTAA being one of the contracting parties, citing Section 17.2 of the FTAA, which stated that the same may be cancelled by either party if there was violation of its terms and conditions, failure of the contractor to pay taxes and fees due the government.

“The subject agreement is not merely a contract between private individuals but one entered into by the Republic… As such, public interest demands that a more liberal stance be taken in determining whether respondent (Redmont) possesses locus standi, which is exactly what the OP had done,” the CA ruled.

The CA also said that factual findings made by quasi-judicial bodies and administrative agencies when supported by substantial evidence are accorded great respect and even finality by the appellate courts. This is because administrative agencies possess specialized knowledge and expertise in their respective fields.

“As such, their findings of fact are binding upon this Court unless there is showing of grave abuse of discretion, or where it is clearly shown that they were arrived at arbitrarily or in disregard of the evidence on record,” the Court said.

Likewise, the appellate court did not give credence to the claim of the petitioners of violation of their right to procedural due process.

The fact that petitioners was given the chance to file a motion for reconsideration of the April 6, 2011 decision of the President, although it was eventually denied, only proved that they were not denied due process.

Records showed that the FTAA was approved in favor of MBMI Resources, a Canadian mining firm and its local partners covering four properties located in the municipalities of Rizal, Bataraz and Narra, all in Palawan, on April 5, 2010, just two months before Arroyo bowed from office.

Meanwhile, Redmont, also an applicant of mining exploration permit, filed a petition for cancellation/revocation of FTAA before the OP, citing violations of the mining law and other applicable laws committed by the petitioners.

Petitioners then moved for the dismissal of the petition on the grounds that there is no rule of law that grants an appeal from a memorandum issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources; that the appeal was filed beyond the reglementary period; that there was no proper service of appeal on petitioners; and, that respondent, as an applicant for a mineral agreement, is not a real party-in-interest for the revocation of an existing mineral agreement.

On April 6, 2011, Aquino ruled in favor of Redmont, prompting the petitioners to elevate the case before the CA. (ECV/Sunnex)

P500M allotted for airports security upgrade

THE Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) will purchase P500 million worth of equipment, including passenger and cargo screeners, to upgrade security in 45 airports in the country.
DOTC Secretary Mar Roxas said the 45 airports constitute the bulk of passengers and cargo traffic of the 86 airports nationwide.

We will install, upgrade and layer the security screening for all 45 airports that presently have commercial flights. Of those 45, less than half or only 21 have a security screening facility,” Roxas said in a press briefing Monday.
He said they will start the bidding for the supply of the equipment, which includes nine cargo X-ray screeners, 46 passenger screeners and 59 closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras next month.
“The bidding process will start on the first week of April with the first deliveries to be made within 60 days so that by the end of the year, all will be delivered and installed. By the end of the year, all the 45 airports will have appropriate security facilities,” the official said, adding they will also repair 22 non-operational X-rays.
Roxas said the DOTC wants one bidder to supply all the requirements to ensure uniformity and synchronization of the equipments.
He said of the 21 airports with security screening facility, only the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, as well as airports in Mactan in Cebu and Davao have layered security measures.
He stressed that international standards called for a layered screening, one when the passenger arrived or enter the terminal, and for baggage that are subjected to multiple screening to check for metallic objects, explosives and organic matter such as illegal drugs.
This does not mean, however, that cargoes passing these airports, including NAIA, are not subjected to rigorous screening, Roxas said, adding they want to ensure a seamless screening process.
He said the move to beef up security is also not due to pressure from abroad, particularly the United States.
“In fact, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration), which runs airport security in the United States, gave us a very good mark the last time they were here last December,” he said.
The TSA’s status’s Annual Security Assessment covered airport ID processing and access controls, airport security program, quality control program, airport contingency and emergency plans, cargo security, perimeter and terminal access control systems, passenger and cabin baggage screening system.
But the country’s aviation sector has yet to recover its Category 1 status after the US Federal Aviation Administration downgraded it to Category 2 in 2007 because of safety issues and lack of technical personnel. (AH/Sunnex)

Palace welcomes proposal for purchase of new presidential car

MALACAÑANG welcomed on Monday a proposal for the acquisition of a brand new presidential car.

“Yes, we welcome the resolution of the House to provide the President with a more updated bullet proof car,” presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda told reporters.

Some administration lawmakers filed House Resolution 2191, asking the Department of Budget and Management to earmark fund for the bulletproof and bombproof vehicle for President Benigno Aquino III.

Among those who have been pushing for the purchase of the new car were Representatives Ben Evardone (Eastern Samar), Alfredo Benitez (Negros Occidental), Cesar Sarmiento (Catanduanes), and Mel Senen Sarmiento (Western Samar).

They were among those who inked the Articles of Impeachment against Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona.

The congressmen, in a statement, said the three official vehicles that the President has been using are now in sorry state and unfit already for Aquino’s use.

The three official vehicles include two Mercedes Benz W221 S-Class limousines, which were bought in 1998, and a Mercedes Benz S-Guard automobile, which was purchased in 2007.

The last acquired vehicle was sidelined by the Presidential Security Group after it was damaged by floods when Typhoon Ondoy struck Metro Manila in 2009.

The lawmakers said the President is now using his personal car. (SDR/Sunnex)

Family, colleagues remember Iggy Arroyo at funeral service

MANILA (Updated 2:26 p.m.) — Over a hundred people, including family and colleagues, gathered Monday at the funeral service for the late Negros Occidental Representative Ignacio “Iggy” Arroyo at the plenary hall of the House of Representatives.
Mourners include House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr., Minority Leader Danilo Suarez, the late lawmaker’s elder brother Jose Miguel Arroyo, former speaker Prospero Nograles, Senator Loren Legarda, and Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s legal counsel Raul Lambino, and spokesperson Elena Bautista-Horn.
The late lawmaker’s legal wife Aleli Arroyo and live-in partner Grace Ibuna and their daughters were also present but seated away from each other.
Aleli and her daughter, Alelu, were seated next to her husband’s sister, Maria Lourdes Arroyo, who was a former member of the House of Representatives.
On the other hand, Ibuna and her daughter, Gabrielle, were both seated in the gallery.
Iggy Arroyo’s two daughters with his first wife, Bianca and Dina, were seated beside former First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo.
During Aleli’s eulogy, Ibuna stepped out of the plenary hall and went to the clinic. She returned as soon as Aleli ended her eulogy.
“My grief is unimaginable for he shared with me the best years of my life…My husband is not only a public servant but the love of my life. I will always remember him as a good member of the House,” Aleli said.
Her lawyer, Lorna Kapunan, criticized Ibuna for showing “disrespect” to her client. “Show a little breeding… Some people are just in-bred,” Kapunan told reporters in an ambush interview on Monday.
“This is not really about whom between the two of them deserve the last moments. It is about respect now for the congressman and we think now what she did here, she showed absolute disrespect for the congressman. As a matter fact, when Aleli started to give her speech, she stood up and left,” Kapunan added.
Kapunan said Ibuna was waving to congressmen left and right as if asking for their comfort while Aleli sat quietly with her family.
Meanwhile, the two daughters of Iggy, Bianca and Diana, were emotional when they delivered their eulogy.
“If I could follow your footsteps, it would be the greatest achievement of my life,” a tearful Bianca said.
“I feel I owe it to my father to tell everyone how proud I am…Because of him, I know I can achieve anything in life if I work for it and preserve,” Dina said.
The Negros Occidental lawmaker died on January 26 after suffering a heart attack in London, where he had sought treatment for cirrhosis of the liver.
After the funeral service, Speaker Belmonte handed Iggy’s family a memorabilia, which had the lawmaker’s oath of office, name plate, and set of legislative performance records.
“Death strips a man of everything but never his good deeds,” said Belmonte, who described the late congressman as humble and kind, especially to his constituents.
Zambales Representative Milagros “Mitos” Magsaysay, one of the closest friends of Iggy in the House of Representatives, relived their families’ closeness with each other. She said she knew how Iggy loved his daughters very much.
She asked Iggy’s relatives and loved ones to reconcile their differences as the congressman is already set to be laid to rest this Friday, March 9.
“I hope you will allow Iggy, if you really love him set him free. If ever there is something that is unfinished, I just hope that you all finish it today. I think that is what Iggy would have wanted,” she added.
“Love is about letting go and setting a person free. Sana whatever we are feeling right now, ipaubaya na natin. I know it might be difficult for you, but he always told me I hope they forgive me for all the pains I have caused. As a request, sana naman po pagbigyan natin si Cong. Iggy,” Magsaysay added.
Ibuna has been in tears as Magsaysay was delivering her speech.
Iggy’s remains will be flown to Bacolod Monday afternoon for a four-day wake at the family house in Kabankalan, Negros Occidental.
He will be buried at the family mausoleum at the Manila North Cemetery on March 9. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)

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.

Court allows Arroyo to attend brother-in-law’s funeral mass

MANILA (Updated 10:40 a.m.) — A Pasay City court allowed Monday detained former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to attend the funeral mass of her brother-in-law, Negros Occidental Representative Ignacio “Iggy” Arroyo, on Friday.
Pasay City Regional Trial Court (RTC) branch 112 Presiding Judge Jesus Mupas approved the Pampanga lawmaker’s petition to attend Iggy’s funeral mass at 10 a.m. in La Vista, Quezon City.
Arroyo will leave the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC), where she is detained, at 7:30 a.m.
After the mass, she will be back at the VMMC and will no longer go with the convoy heading for the North Cemetery in Manila, where Iggy will be buried.
The Negros Occidental lawmaker died on January 26 after suffering a heart attack in London, where he had sought treatment for cirrhosis of the liver.
Arroyo visited her brother-in-law’s wake last Thursday at the family residence in La Vista.
Arroyo, who has been detained at the VMMC, has been facing a non-bailable case of electoral sabotage in relation to the
2007 senatorial elections. (Sunnex)

50 Laguna cops relieved

MANILA (Updated 9 a.m.) — About 50 policemen in Los Baños, Laguna have been relieved from their posts following the failed robbery that resulted in the death of a college student on Sunday.
An ANC report said among the policemen relieved was Los Baños Police Chief Dante Novicio after failing to prevent a series of murders in Barangay Batong Malake, near the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) campus.
Rayver Bernard Peñaranda, 19, UPLB student died after he was stabbed in the chest by robbers at F.O. Santos St. around 1 a.m.
The BS Agriculture student was walking along the street with two others when two motorcycle-riding men approached them and announced a hold-up.
The three came from a dance rehearsal inside UPLB and were headed home when the incident happened. Peñaranda’s two companions were able to escape.
Peñaranda was declared dead on arrival at the Los Baños Doctors Hospital and Medical Center.
The robbers took nothing.
Last Wednesday, a 14-year-old high school student identified as Rochel Geronda was also found dead near the UPLB campus.
Laguna Police Director Senior Superintendent Gilbert Cruz said Novicio will be transferred to the provincial police office in Sta Cruz town.
The rest of the police officers will be reassigned to other police stations in the province. (Sunnex)
