Greediness
With the country abuzz about the apparent suicide death by gunshot wound of a former cabinet member and Armed Forces chief of staff, we tend to go over what has transpired through the years prior to him and other high-raking military officials being charged with corruption.
I wrote this in FB:
“while we feel sad for the family of the late Angie Reyes and wish the media will give them privacy to grieve for him, there are still questions that need answers, truth that need to come out, people who are accountable to corruption charges and we can’t ignore these”
Was this the easy way out? How can he clear his name now? Amidst the grief and shock, the nation is divided with how the situation will proceed from this day on.
These men are exceptional, no doubt about it.
The higher-ups are nervous by the investigation.
It is however not mind-boggling how they came to be: swimming in thousands or dollars and living the high life with homes in America using money meant to be for the poor, hungry, wearing old shoes, using old arms and flying flying coffins much, much older military planes soldiers.
One of the wives even wrote:
“I often travel with my husband on business and my travel, expenses and shopping money in excess of US$10,000 to $20,000 is provided to me. He often receives cash for travel and expenses from the businesses that are awarded contracts for military hardware.”
Wow.
And what exactly gets the nerve of those observing and listening to the hearings about these corruption charges is the way they DON”T REMEMBER anything. A general’s wife having eight homes in the USA and the husband, the general being investigated says “This is the first time I saw this house,” Ligot replied.
Sigh…
We are not stupid to believe you, General Limot Ligot.
Oh yeah, quite a birthday blast for P-Noy.
