MANILA, Philippines—The Office of the Ombudsman has ordered the filing of plunder cases against former agriculture secretary Luis Ramon “Chito” Lorenzo and former undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc-Joc” Bolante implicated in the P728-million fertilizer fund scandal.
Based on the 134-page joint resolution, the Office of the Ombudsman, through its panel of investigators said “there exists probable cause” to pursue the criminal cases against the officials who are “probably guilty of the crimes charged.”
Me themesong ito: "Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang" ni Ogie Alcasid.
Kung sabagay, marami namang dahilan bakit ngayon lang:
- Naghahanap pa ng ebidensiya ang Ombudsman. Naubos na kasi ang pera sa Fertilizer Scam kaya di makita kung nasaan. Walang pera, walang ebidensiya, di ba?
- Allegedly, liquid fertilizer ang pinagkagastusan ng P728 M. Nagkataong nabasag yung lalagyan kaya hayun, di na nakita pa yung liquid. Yung nabuhusan, wala ring tumubo kaya di rin nakita ang fertilizer.
- Wala ring maidudulot yung Senado at ang nakalap nilang ebidensiya ay mahina lang. Tsaka me virus sa Senado -- Ribonitis. Kaya mahirap pagkatiwalaan ang ebidensiya na maipo-produce ng mataas na kapulungan baka na-contaminate ng virus.
- Mas magaling pa ring maghanap ng ebidensiya ang Ombudsman. Lalo na kung under pressure -- that is, Impeachment pressure. Yun nga lang, LATE. Pero di ba may kasabihan: Huli man daw at magaling, huli pa rin... este, naihahabol din?
