MANILA, Philippines—Former congressman and now Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) head Prospero Pichay had been allegedly receiving P500,000 from the military when he was chairman of the House of Representatives' committee on national defense, a former military officer disclosed on Monday.
Testifying before the Senate blue ribbon committee, former military budget officer Lieutenant Colonel George Rabusa claimed that he was always asked by his then boss, former military comptroller Carlos Garcia, to prepare P500,000 every time Pichay would visit the office of the military chief of staff.
The chief of staff then, Rabusa said, was Diomedio Villanueva.
“Si Congressman Pichay...Prospero Pichay,” said Rabusa when asked by committee chairman Teofisto Guingona III if there were lawmakers involved.
“Every time na bumibista po sya sa opisina ng chief of staff, ipapatawag po ako ni General Garcia…O prepare mo na yung P500,000 para kay Congressman Pichay (Every time Pichay visits the office of the chief of staff, I would be called by General Garcia, who would ask me to prepare P500,000 for Congressman Pichay),” she said.
But Garcia, who was at the hearing, immediately denied Rabusa's allegation.
“Wala po akong maalala na ganung pangyayari (I don’t remember any such incident),” said Garcia.
But Senator Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada went on and asked Rabusa why the military was giving money to Pichay.
Rabusa said he did not know why except that he was always v asked to prepare money for Pichay every time the former congressman visited the chief of staff's office.
He later surmised that Pichay was being given money because he was the chairman of the House committee on national defense.
“Sya (Pichay) yata ang nagdedepensa ng budget naming (He defends our budget),” Rabusa said.
Asked again by Estrada how many times he went to Garcia's office then, Rabusa said not less than three times.

[SIZE=2]Ramon Magsaysay, Man of the Year, January 6, 1951[/SIZE]

In Classic articles on March 15, 2006 at 12:48 am January 6, 1951
Ramon Magsaysay: Man of the year
by Leon .O. Ty

Mr. Ramon Magsaysay has now started a thorough reorganization of the armed forces of the country. His efforts in this direction have been acclaimed in all quarters for he has shown clearly that his purpose is to create a defense organization capable of accomplishing what is expected of it.
“Secretary Magsaysay, with an eye to efficiency and with an awareness of the necessity of doing justice to the officers and men of the Armed Forces, has eliminated positions, effected transfers, and forced resignations to achieve his aim. Secretary Magsaysay has not completed the reorganization of the Armed Forces. But with what he has accomplished so far, there is ample reason to hope that when finally he is done with the reorganization, we shall have a force which will stand the test of battle, within or without. It is our hope, as it is the hope of everybody, that Secretary Magsaysay is backed up by all the highest authorities as President Quirino is backing him up. He is doing well.��?

Ramon Magsaysay became secretary of national defense last September 1. Though he has occupied the position for only four months, he has accomplished in that short span of time much that his predecessor failed to achieve in almost four years. However, in fairness to the man before him—Ruperto Kangleon—it might be mentioned, in passing, that if reforms were not elected before Magsaysay’s time, the former secretary of national defense was not entirely to blame. Quirino had a share in that blame because he did not give Kangleon complete backing. In fact the President seldom sought Kangleon’s views on matters affecting peace and order in the country.

Upon his assumption of office as defense secretary, Magsaysay at once saw what was wrong with the Philippine Army and the Constabulary. Both outfits were run by “cliques��? which determined promotions, transfers, etc. He called it “politics inside the armed forces.��?

After the publication in this magazine of the now famous “Secret Report��? about shocking cases of graft, corruption gross inefficiency, brutality and barbarism among PC officers in Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, and Pangasinan, Magsaysay at once took drastic steps. He ordered the transfer and investigation of more than a dozen high army officers in the provinces mentioned in the report.

That he incurred the displeasure of those yanked out from their lucrative stations in central Luzon was known to Magsaysay.
“I don’t give a hang about what they think of me,��? “Magsaysay once told a number of newsmen. “I’ll clean up the armed forces of crooks and misfits if it kills me. I left my job in Congress and accepted my present position because I felt that I could help President Quirino in my own humble way. I have no choice in this matter. Either those useless officers who are not a credit to the government must step out or I step out.��?
Since he made this statement, scores of “useless officers��? both in the Army and the Constabulary have been relieved. A goodly number have been reverted to inactive status.

From interviews with certain Army and PC brass we have learned that officers who used to feel secure in their jobs are now on their toes most of the time. They know that many of their colleagues who used to boast of their strong “connections��? with bigwigs in the high councils of the armed forces have been either relieved or transferred to distant provinces.
“Some of those officers had adopted the I-don’t-care attitude because they felt secure in their jobs due to their connections with people in the ‘clique,’ ��? Magsaysay said. “I changed that attitude. Now, the same officers are aware of the fact that they can remain on their jobs only as long as they improve themselves. They know that it’s only efficiency and devotion to duty that can keep them there.��?
One officer who failed to send reinforcements to some soldiers whom the Huks had surrounded in the Zambales mountains not long ago was kicked out of the Army upon orders of Secretary Magsaysay.

One night this man went to the Secretary’s house and tearfully begged that he be given another chance. He had with him his wife and children. In the course of his plea, this man went to the extent of showing his scars from wounds sustained while fighting the Japanese in Bataan in 1942.
“I’m very sorry,��? Magsaysay told him, “I can’t reinstate you. I know how you feel. I know how your family will feel about this. But what you did was something an officer should never do. I can’t maintain discipline in the army if I don’t punish you.��?

A lot of other officers whom Magsaysay ordered dismissed have come to him for “another chance.��?
“I always refused to reconsider,��? he said. “If I didn’t, there could never be any discipline in the armed forces. We must have discipline and we can only have it if we apply a firm hand on officers and men who manhandle civilians, refuse to fight the dissidents, commit irregularities, and abuse their authority.��?

Magsaysay has already relieved many officers for maltreating civilians. He told this writer that if there is anything he hates in men in the armed forces, it is brutal treatment of civilians, especially those in out-of-the-way places.

“I am very hard on officers and men who abuse or torture innocent civilians,��? Magsaysay said. “The army and PC are supposed to protect, not to exploit them. Whenever I hear a report of abuse and manhandling of farm folk, I personally see to it that the officer or men responsible are punished.��?

Magsaysay has contributed his bit in reviving the faith of the Filipino people in their government. Whenever he goes to the provinces, he makes it a point to talk with the parish priest, the teachers and farmers of the community. From these people, he gets correct information about the behavior of officers and soldiers.

Crowning achievement
“I do not bother talking at length with the officers,��? he once told us. “If I confined myself to them, they would tell me nice stories about their achievements. But the people are the best judge of these officers. So I talk with the people and from them I invariably get a correct report on what the members of the armed forces are doing in their locality.��?

Since Magsaysay assumed office, he has succeeded in effecting the surrender of several Huk chieftains and their men. These surrenders have taken place in Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Batangas, Laguna, and Zambales. Firearms and ammunition have likewise been turned over by these dissidents to the government.

Secretary Magsaysay has already done much to boost the morale of the men in the field. He goes to them unannounced and at the most unexpected moments. He is able to do this because he uses a plane in visiting combat teams in the provinces, thus saving much time. When an officer in the field is deserving of promotion. Magsaysay goes to where that man is and hands him in papers.

“I hate paper work and red tape,��? he has repeatedly told newspapermen. “In the past, plenty of paper was wasted in the office because of endorsements from one office to another. And it took time to get those endorsements dispatched. Now, I either go to officers personally or just use the telephone to transact or just use the telephone to transact official business. It is much better because it is faster. The US Army is efficient because there is less paper work.��?

The mass arrest of men and women suspected of being the core of the Communist party in the Philippines is Magsaysay’s crowning achievement. He told us that in due time he would give the lowdown on the incidents and circumstances that led to the discovery and final apprehension of the members of the local Politburo.

Furious
Co Pak, local Chinese multimillionaire, who is suspected as one of the top financiers of the local Reds is now confined. Magsaysay had him arrested. When the order to nab this Chinese was made, those in the Military Intelligence Service were hesitant. They were afraid of Co Pak because they had been informed that the man had hirelings who would murder at the drop of a halt. When Magsaysay learned about this, he flared up.
“If you cannot arrest Co Pak because you are afraid,��? he told the arresting officers, “I’ll arrest him myself!��?

Co Pak was finally apprehended and confined. But he stayed in the PC stockade only for a short time. Somehow or other, he succeeded in getting his temporary release by the mere expedient of filing a bond. We were informed that the man used political “pull.��? He has strong “connections��? among local bigtime politicos.

When Magsaysay heard of Co Pak’s temporary release, he became furious and ordered the immediate arrest of the Chinese.
Magsaysay has ordered the sale of scores of staff cars in the Army and Constabulary. When all the vehicles are sold, the government will net something like one and a half million pesos. With the money, new trucks (which are very much needed in the campaign against the Huks) will be bought. Magsaysay also said that his department will purchase some 100 trucks from the Manila Railroad Company. These will also be used by the combat teams in Central Luzon.

wala talaga akong tiwala sa hilatsa ng mukha nung pichay na yun

syempre si garcia, deny lang sya ng deny

[Zeus]

Nagpakamatay na si Gen. Reyes, dapat sumunod na rin ang mga guilty

[chua_riwap]

baka magpakamatay na rin yung iba kung isusunod na senate hearing against the mistresses nung mga generals........

[ab_initio]

nasaan ang burden of proof nyan? sa iginigisa, o sa naggigisa?

In the Blue Ribbon Committee Hearing, there is no burden of proof to discharge. This is an exploratory activity of the Senate. It may be in aid of legislation or a basis of filing a complaint for preliminary investigation. During PI, the complainant and his witnesses are required to satisfy the requirement of Probable Cause. Your lawyer knows this. In trial for conviction or acquittal: the former needs GUILT BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT; while in the latter, the defense just needs to cast a doubt and he would be free. If we take the case of Garcia in Plunder, maybe, the Ombudsman prosecutors have seen that their pieces of evidence are not so tight that they did not risk losing the 150M-sure na yun ibalik sa gobyerno. And, perhaps, they thought that it was a better deal because, sure na rin ang conviction for a lighter offense of bribery. Wala din kasi witness that could prove the scheme of plunder. It has to be a series of act. The auditor's, now whistle blower, statements or findings, may prove na nawawala ang pondo. But how? You have to specifically prove the scheme. That's the pain of fully discharging guilt beyond reasonable doubt.

[ab_initio]

baka magpakamatay na rin yung iba kung isusunod na senate hearing against the mistresses nung mga generals........

Di lang pala loyal sa bandila ang sundalo, sa asawa din. Si Garcia offered to enter a plea of guilt sa bribery when his wife and children were about to be extradited. Willing to give back 150M just to save his wife and kids. So with the late Reyes...he put an end to his life.
