Which the PCGG promptly accepted and implemented.<br /><br />Subsequently, the very same Devanadera who recommended that Generillo be fired also recommended to the PCGG that it not grant immunity to Tanenglian, and not use him as a government witness.<br /><br />In other words, the government, through Devanadera and the PCGG, shot its case against Tan in the foot—twice. Worse, the PCGG is making it appear as if Generillo and Tanenglian are the bad guys. In that, it is in complete accord with Tan, who wants both out of the case. Which leads one to wonder which side the PCGG and the solicitor general are on in the first place.<br /><br />Now the reader knows what I mean when I say that if things continue the way they are going, we stand to lose from P220 billion to P330 billion.<br /><br />If we don’t want that to happen, folks, we have our New Year’s Resolution for 2010: to exert pressure on the PCGG to use both Generillo and Tanenglian. Generillo because he not only has done his homework, but is not open to transactional justice. Tanenglian, because they have everything to gain and nothing to lose if they use him—assuming of course that the PCGG officials have the country’s financial interests, and not their own, at heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3075806794834383096.post-64687164201993484362009-12-31T07:17:30.430+00:002009-12-31T07:17:30.430+00:00Vivienne Tan, d doter of Lucio Tan, runs 4 Congres...Vivienne Tan, d doter of Lucio Tan, runs 4 Congress?
