AMAZED by the so-called expensive hamburgers that were donated to members of the Philippine National Police, militant solons filed a resolution calling for an investigation into the alleged anomalies involving the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. Bayan Muna Reps. Teddy Casiño and Neri Colmenares urged the House committee on good government to immediately look into the anomalies that involve former chairman Efraim Genuino. Citing reports, the two solons said that the fund releases of Pagcor clearly favored the family of Genuino and the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Among the issues that the House of Representatives should look into are the P21.1 million check for the purchase of food for PNP personnel two days before President Benigno Aquino assumed office and the various checks issued by Pagcor to the Batang Iwas Droga (BIDA) Foundation of Genuino family members and associates. According to Casiño, Pagcor is not mandated to finance the budgetary requirements of the country’s police force, as this is the duty of Congress Casiño suspected that Pagcor’s funds were used to finance the campaign of BIDA in the 2010 elections and fielded Genuino’s daughter Sheryl Genuino-See as its first nominee. The total Pagcor fund given to BIDA Foundation is P28.2 million, with two Checks issued – one for P26.7 million in December 2008 and another for P1.5 million in March 2009. |
