PASG chief resigns

[SIZE=2]The chief of the Presidential Anti-Smuggling Group (PASG) has resigned out of disgust to two congressmen who had been pushing for the abolition of the agency.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]A radio dzMM report said PASG chief Antonio "Bebot" Villar was to submit his resignation letter to President Arroyo on Thursday.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]The report said that Villar cited the efforts of Representatives Ma. Milagros Magsaysay of Zambales and Al Francis Bichara of Albay to abolish PASG as the main reason for his resignation.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Villar had repeatedly snubbed the hearings of the House Committee on Good Government in connection with alleged car smuggling operations in the country, particularly in Cebu province.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Before PASG became a subject of the House hearings, Villar revealed that Bichara owned four of the 81 luxury vehicles recovered by PASG from the Auto Sports 24 car repair shop in Makati City last December 14.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]PASG said the congressman's luxury vehicles include two Grand Cherokee, a Volvo and a Jaguar. Investigations of the agency showed that the Grand Cherokee with plate number ZEP 947 was mysteriously registered with the Land Transportation Office under the name of Bichara on December 17 last year, or three days after the raid at the Auto Sports 24.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Further investigations also showed that the car, which was supposedly a 2006 model, was registered as a 1995 model.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Villar had also revealed that Bichara failed to present proper documents that can prove he legally owned a Jaguar SI model 2001.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]The PASG chief made the revelations after Magsaysay filed a resolution to abolish the agency, which Bichara endorsed to the House Committee on Good Government.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Villar said the moves are part of the two congressmen's plan to demolish PASG's operations.[/SIZE]
