Nag submit na ng formal resignation si Puno, di na naghintay ng "request" kay Roxas. Now that private citizen na siya, makakaiwas ba sa Senate hearing on Friday c/o Lady Mirriam?

MANILA, Philippines - Rico Puno has resigned as undersecretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

Puno made the announcement in a two-page statement he issued to Palace reporters. It came a day after a Senate committee decided to hold an investigation on him.

"Moving forward I have resigned as DILG undersecretary o support the President's decision to give the incoming [DILG] secretary a freehand in forming a new team," Puno said in the statement.

Susubok pang makalusot kaya late ang courtesy resignation. If he had the Robredo in him, he might've even tendered an irrevocable resignation.

I don't think he can escape Madame Miriam's invite. But i don't think Miriam's session per se can put him in cuffs, coz it's in aid of legislation. Unless there's a law that was overlooked....

[wowiesy]

gumaganda ang laro... hopefully totoo talaga na yan ang nangyari... dahil kung hindi.. ticking time bomb yan... anytime may ma disgruntle sa cabinet ni PNoy... madaling ileak yan kung ano talaga nangyari sa likod nyan...

[shadow]

As he breaks his silence, so will I

sino yun "the man"?

[wowiesy]

As he breaks his silence, so will I

sino yun "the man"?

OO nga.. sino yung "The Man"... si Anthony Taberna ba ang nag break ng news? nung isang araw inabutan ko sa MM kumambyo naman sila na di pa nga nagsasalita at they deserve the full benefit of doubt... although I just figured that perhaps, the spokespeople of PNoy and possibly the owners of the network got to him kaya medyo lumambot... kasi nung umaga talagang may kiling yung reporting eh...

weird lang talaga... may timeline pa sya inilabas... di ko makuha bakit di inilabas na nag resign na pala effective aug 31 ba yun? hinintay pa bumalik si PNoy para iannounce ng Malacanang na nag resign? eh pupuwede naman maaga pa lang inilabas na? si ES din lang ang nag reply at tumanggap ng resignation.. not sure though baka kasama din si ES sa Russia for APEC... kaya tuloy lumaki ang storya...

shempre pa naman dito... ilabas ang explosive / sensationalized story... ulit ulitin ang kwento... sasabihin na malaya ka naman tumawag sa kanila para ibigay ang panig mo... and yet paulit ulit nila yung storya... habang nananahimik ka.. lalo kang pinipintahang guilty... yan din nangyari kay Corona... in a way...

but still .. weird lang talaga..

Baka si Mar?

Sabi ng spokesperson ni Puno, si Pnoy, na may ooffer ng goverment posisyon pa rin sa kanya. Iba talaga kung best buds for life...

Using Google, PNoy found Galil firearms deal grossly overpriced
September 10, 2012
By Raïssa Robles

President Benigno Aquino III asked his close chum Rico Puno to resign after the President personally did a Google search and discovered that the Galil assault rifles Puno the Department of Interior and Local Governments had helped arranged to buy for the national police were overpriced. Puno is in charge of police affairs in the DILG.

Aquino told Filipino reporters at the APEC conference in Vladivostok that the indicative bid price for the Galil firearms was around P80,000 per unit:

"Nag-Google search ako ngayon, at doon ko nga nakitang ang daming below 1,000 dollars, apparently."

He said he had ordered the purchase stopped, pending investigation. He also indicated during the press conference that he expected a resignation letter from Puno as Undersecretary for police affairs of the Department of Interior and Local Governments “but I don’t have it.”

During the Validvostok press briefing, Aquino also indicated he is an intensive user of Google’s search engine. He explained why he surfed online regarding this particular arms deal:

"Yung sa rifle hindi ako satisfied, ano. Nag-umpisa kasi ‘yon na napakaraming bidders para at least—I think the last time they told me about it was seven bidders were interested, they [not audible on tape] documents.

Yung actual bidding naging isa. ‘Yung presyo ‘pag nag-search sa internet napababa nila ‘yung… Parang may na-acquire previous to this ‘yung contract na in-execute before we step into office, P150,000. ‘Yung indicative price nila naging P119,000. Tapos parang ito yatang kino-consider nila is now what – 80,000 per unit."

Aquino said the DILG had originally said they wanted to buy M4 carbines (shortened versions of the M-16 assault rifle) but that somehow the order had changed to the Galil rifle:

"Pero tumingin ako sa internet dahil noong nag-umpisa ito about two years ago, mga 2,000 dollars ’yung gusto nilang M4 e, so roughly tama yung presyo. Pero pag tumingin ka sa internet ngayon, you can get it for as little as 800 plus dollars, e. So 800 times 40 will give you 32, ‘di ba, and 32 and 80 are very far off. Tapos yung the rifle itself was not what they told me they wanted.
So tinanong ko sila, “Saan napunta lahat nung mga ibang interesado?”

Kasi even two years ago, there was allegedly an offer from a foreign country to set up a factory here to produce the rifle they wanted, and at the time that it was selling for 2,000 dollars, they were offering it for 40,000 pesos dahil dito ipro-produce.

So sabi ko, “Bakit ‘yung may nag-alok sa inyong 40, bakit itong 80 na lang ang natira diyan? Bakit nung hindi nag-meet doon sa gusto niyong model, bakit niyo pinatuloy pa?”

So ito ‘yung subject na… And I think instructed Secretary Robredo to look into it to—para lahat na. Saan ba ’yung competence nung mga miyembro nung [Glock?], saan ba ’yung technical group dito.

Parang I wanted to know exactly why—’yung parang simple question lang doon, “Bakit walang tumingin sa internet at nag-check lang."

He likened the firearms deal to ordering food:

"In-order mo hamburger dumating hotdog. Bakit hindi ka nagrereklamo."

PNoy also said it was he who had instructed the late DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo to stop the bidding and to investigate the bidding process of the firearms.
