CORRUPTION DE HAUT VOL !

Une femme d’affaire, supposée être à la tête d’un vaste réseau spécialisé dans le détournement de fonds publics, vient de se rendre aux autorités. 

Et pas auprès de n’importe qui, auprès du chef suprême de l’Etat, auprès du Président Aquino.   

Janet Lim Napoles, recherchée depuis plus de deux semaines par les autorités et qui fait l’objet d’un mandat d’arrêt, s’est rendue hier 28 août.



C’est après que la Présidence ait offert une récompense de 10 millions de pesos (€165.000) pour tout renseignement qui amènerait à son arrestation, que  Napoles, est sortie de sa cachette.

Dans cette affaire de détournements de fonds, qui porterait sur plusieurs milliards de pesos, il est à peu près certain que plusieurs personnalités de premier plan sont impliquées.
De ce fait, compte tenu du climat local et de la façon dont certains différents peuvent se terminer sur l’archipel, Napoles a préférée se rendre vivante, plutôt que de rester cachée, morte.

Si elle obtient le statut de State Witness, elle pourrait ainsi échapper à toute sanction et être autorisée à refaire sa vie sous une autre identité.

A la condition toutefois qu’elle ‘’balance’’ tous ceux qui sont impliqués dans cette vaste affaire de corruption qui porte sur d’importants détournements de fonds publics !


Va-t-on assister au début d’une véritable lutte contre la corruption ?

Lundi dernier 26 août, une manifestation contre la corruption a réuni plus de 75.000 personnes à Manille. D’autres manifestations se sont également déroulées dans plusieurs villes du pays.

Wait and see.

Just hours after Malacanang set a P10-million bounty for any information leading to her arrest, Janet Napoles surrendered to President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III.

Napoles, who is wanted for alleged serious illegal detention of Benhur Luy, a whistle-blower in the P10-billion "pork barrel" scam, surrendered around 9:37 pm, Wednesday.



"Janet Napoles surrendered to President Aquino. Napoles is wanted on charges of serious illegal detention arising from the alleged kidnapping of Benhur Luy," Malacanang said in a statement.

Malacanang said Aquino turned over Napoles to Interior Secretary Manuel "Mar" Roxas and "Philippine National Police Director-General Alan Purisima for processing and booking."


Napoles surprised the whole nation when, after hiding for over two weeks, suddenly surrendered--not just to any law officer but to the highest official of the land, President Aquino.

This move raised several speculations such as this being a "scripted" plan to surface Napoles, as claimed by Kabataan Partylist Rep. Terry Ridon.

Roxas however said Napoles opted to surrender to the President out of fear for her life.
"Hindi siya ang maimpluwensiya. Ang pangulo ay nakatanggap ng surrender feeler…si Napoles na possible witness o hinahanap dahil napakalaki ng iniimbestigahan, karapat dapat lang na maibalik sa kustodiya," Roxas told reporters at Camp Crame, where Napoles will be detained.

Roxas also said there is no special treatment for Napoles.

"Trabaho namin ito. Wanted siya na tao. Mas gusto mo ba na hindi namin pansinin ito e hinahanap siya ng buong sambayanan? Siya ang nasa sentro ng napakalaking anomalya na ito. Mahalaga ma-isecure siya para malaman natin ang katotohanan. Ginagawa natin ang lahat para mai-secure natin ang kaniyang testimony," added Roxas.

How it happened

Roxas said authorities fetched Napoles and her husband at an undisclosed but "secured" location before they were brought to Malacanang to talk to the president.


"Kasama ng kaniyang asawa ay sinundo sa isang secured location at dinala sa Malacanang at doon siya hinarap ng pangulo. Bago sila nagharap ng pangulo, chineck ang kaniyang medical situation para masigurong ligtas siya," said Roxas.

Roxas said Aquino then vowed to secure Napoles, amid claims that there are threats to her life.
"Ang interes ng pangulo ay malaman ang buong katotohanan…wala tayong sasantuhin," said Roxas.

Napoles was able to reach the President through presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda, he added.

Social media sites were abuzz with Napoles' sudden surrender. It could be recalled that Monday's successful Luneta protest, spurred by discussions on Facebook and Twitter, called not only for the abolition of the controversial Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) but for Napoles' immediate arrest. 

Reynaldo Lim, Napoles' brother, who is also wanted for serious illegal detention charges will soon surrender as well, ABS-CBN newscast Bandila quoted Kapunan as saying.

Businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles was ordered arrested by Makati Regional Trial Court Branch 150 last August 14. Napoles has since been unseen and reports that she left the country, or have had plastic surgery floated.

On Wednesday, authorities were checking reports of missing yachts which could have been supposedly used by Napoles to escape. 

Napoles made headlines for allegedly orchestrating a massive money-making scheme that involved several lawmakers. The pork barrel scam supposedly diverted PDAF to bogus non-government organizations.

UN KAPRE ... A MALACANANG ?

Image
Don Miguel Perez Rubio, President Benigno Aquino III’s chief protocol officer, usually utters “Hello, Mr. Brown" whenever he passes by the old balete tree in front of the state entrance of Malacañang Palace. “Mr. Brown," Perez Rubio told reporters Monday, is a benevolent kapre who calls the more than a century old tree his home. A kapre is a Philippine mythical creature described as a tall, hairy male who always smokes big tobacco pipe. Perez Rubio said he utters the greeting to avoid any misfortune that might befall him if he ignores “Mr Brown," whom he said had once raised a security guard high off the ground. He said the creature also once scared a limousine driver by towering over his car. So far, no one has been hurt by “Mr Brown." And perhaps he will not have a reason to, especially now that President Aquino has officially proclaimed the aforementioned balete tree (Ficus concinma) as a Heritage Tree. On Monday, President Aquino led the ceremonial ...

RESIDENCE DE L'AMBASSADEUR DE FRANCE ... AUX PHILIPPINES !

Image
Rare qu’un Ambassadeur de France ouvre les portes de sa résidence en dehors du 14 juillet.  Suffisamment rare tout du moins pour que j’en fasse un post. Petite aparté, tout ceci est payé, directement ou indirectement, par vos impôts. Profitez en bien, compte tenu de l’état des finances du pays, il se pourrait bien que d’ici quelques années le patrimoine du ministère des affaires étrangères soit mis en vente afin de combler une dette devenue abyssale. A quand le passage des résidences de nos ambassadeurs sous le contrôle des Qatari ou des Chinois ? Les paries sont ouverts. En ce qui concerne les Philippines, passer d’une superbe villa située à  Forbes Park, pour un trois pièces sur Quiapo, Tondo ou Binondo, ils risquent d’apprécier le changement nos diplomates ! Home to French ambassadors, the Embassade de France in Makati is a modern residence with elements of history and culture. The architecture bears some elements of the plantation ...
