Remember Mawanay? He’s back to seek DOJ protection from Lacson
By Mike Frialde
Tuesday, March 25, 2008

From out of the blue, controversial witness Angelo Mawanay deal.
Gonzalez first advised Mawanay to file a police report and submit his written statement to the DOJ for evaluation.



Mawanay claimed he was referred to the DOJ by Speaker Prospero Nograles and was even accompanied by Nograles’ chief of staff to the DOJ yesterday.


Mawanay claimed he was an agent of the defunct Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force (PAOCTF) during the Estrada administration. In August 2001, he accused Lacson of involvement in drug trafficking and hidden wealth, but failed to produce evidence.


A “star witness” of former Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces yesterday surfaced at the Department of Justice (DOJ) and asked for protection after he was allegedly pressured by Sen. Panfilo Lacson to testify in the Senate’s probe of the ZTE national broadband network (NBN) deal.


Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez, however, said he is not taking Mawanay’s claim at face value and instead ordered the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to verify his claim.


“I am inclined to take his statements with a grain of salt,” said Gonzalez, adding they are still double-checking Mawanay’s recent allegation against Lacson. Mawanay claimed that Lacson contacted him and ordered him to testify in the ongoing NBN-ZTE hearings at the Senate.


He said he has no knowledge of the overseas bank accounts of some individuals involved in the of the Philippines (ISAFP) chief Victor Corpus, along with former narcotics agent Mary “Rosebud” Ong, Mawanay claimed Lacson deposited millions he made from illegal drug trading and kidnapping in bank accounts in Hong Kong and the United States.


Mawanay also linked Lacson’s men – former Senior Superintendents Michael Ray Aquino and Cesar Mancao – to the murder of publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito. Mawanay also claimed that Lacson ordered the killing of Casino Filipino employee Edgar Bentain, who leaked a videotape showing former President Joseph Estrada gambling with Atong Ang.


Lacson was chief of the Philippine National Police during Estrada’s administration.


Mawanay also claimed that Sen. Loren Legarda purchased P8.9-million worth of smuggled cellular phones from him, and that he delivered a shoebox filled with cash to Sen. Noli de Castro in 2001.
The money allegedly came from Lacson.


He was detained by the Senate sergeant at arms until he could prove his allegations against the three senators, but he was spirited away by ISAFP agents.


In April 2004, Mawanay held a press conference to deny all his allegations. He said he was “pressured” by Corpus, then National Bureau of Investigation


Director Reynaldo Wycoco, and First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo to make those accusations against Lacson and other opposition senators.
He said Corpus asked him to hack into the purported bank accounts of Lacson to find money laundered from illegal drugs but found nothing.

NBI gives sanctuary to Ador Mawanay
By Evelyn Macairan and Delon Porcalla
Thursday, March 27, 2008 National Bureau of Investigation Director Nestor Mantaring yesterday said they have given “temporary sanctuary” to controversial witness Angelo “Ador” Mawanay, who is reportedly seeking protection against opposition Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson.
Mantaring said agents from the office of Deputy Director for Intelligence Service Ruel Lasala fetched Mawanay at the Department of Justice on Tuesday. For the meantime, he would be staying at the bureau.
“DOJ Secretary Raul Gonzalez turned him over to us. We would be giving him temporary sanctuary. I have not talked to Mawanay. I will leave it to Deputy Director Lasala to interview him then I would evaluate his statements,” said Mantaring.
He showed up at the DOJ Monday and claimed that Lacson was allegedly pressuring him to testify in the ZTE-national broadband network (NBN) deal. Gonzalez ordered the NBI to double-check his story.
Mawanay, along with his wife and two teenage sons, are currently housed in one of the rooms of the bureau’s custodial center.
The two NBI officials said they have not yet talked to the witness. Lasala instructed the Intelligence Special Operations Division (ISOD) under head agent Sixto Comia to inquire why he is seeking protection and to verify his allegations.
“Since it was only recently when Mawanay and his family came to the bureau, I told HA Comia to wait for him to settle down and be comfortable before they talk,” said Lasala. But while they would not be preventing Mawanay from leaving the NBI’s premises, Lasala said he would advise the witness to stay within the compound while they are still conducting investigation.
Mawanay led a colorful life as a witness and has appeared in several investigations. He first claimed to be an agent of the defunct Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force (PAOCTF) during the term of former President Joseph Estrada.
In August 2001, he accused Lacson of involvement in drug trafficking and hidden wealth, but failed to produce evidence. He is a “star witness” of then Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP) chief Victor Corpus, along with former narcotics agent Mary “Rosebud” Ong. He alleged that Lacson deposited millions he made from illegal drug trading and kidnapping in bank accounts in Hong Kong and the United States.
He also reportedly linked Lacson’s men, former Senior Superintendents Michael Ray Aquino and Cesar Mancao to the murder of publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito. The senator was also said to be responsible for the killing of casino emplo*yee Edgar Bentain, who leaked the videotape showing Estrada gambling with Atong Ang.
He also claimed that Sen. Loren Legarda purchased P8.9 million worth of smuggled cellular phones from him and that he delivered a shoebox filled with cash to then senator Noli de Castro, now Vice President, in year 2001. The money reportedly came from Lacson.
He was detained at the Senate sergeant at arms until he could prove his allegations against the three legislators, but he was spirited away by ISAFP agents.
On April 2004, he made a complete turn around and held a press conference denying all his allegations.
In other developments, House Speaker Prospero Nograles thumbed down a request of former military asset Mawanay for protective custody, saying he is neither a member of the House of Representatives nor a witness to any legislative inquiry. A statement from the Speaker’s office hinted that Mawanay, who claims he has been receiving threats from Lacson for his refusal to testify in the NBN probe, sought protection from the chamber.
“The House can only give protection to beleaguered members of Congress just like what it did when rebellion cases were filed against the so-called Batasan 5, or to witnesses in an ongoing House investigation. Mawanay is neither of both,” Nograles said.
