Update on General Angelo Reyes' death: The Country Club Group's Involvement

After several people exposed the (including this writer) alleged links of Major General Carlos Garcia to several military contractors, businessmen and political personalities, and his knowledge of their offshore accounts and even allegedly helped them in laundering their monies, according to ex Commodore Rex Robles, several members of this exclusive group reportedly met in a posh Chinese restaurant in Makati to plot their next move.


This group, says several sources, control the procurement of arms and equipment at the AFP. They are also involved in several government-related projects, big-ones, and financiers at that. 


The meeting was called to strategize how to "take care" of the Garcia situation. Garcia, several months before the elections, reportedly intimated to a friend, his desire to "spill the beans". Garcia, according to intelligence reports, know of the confidential accounts of several high ranking officials of the Arroyo administration. Garcia reportedly used two foreign based Filipino groups: one in Hongkong and the other at Anaheim California. 


When Noynoy won, this group reportedly assured Garcia of their continued support for the beleaguered general. The group told Garcia to "hold his ground" since the win of Noynoy assures them of continued protection. It was this group who reportedly arranged for the bargaining agreement, and did ways on how to contain those who know what really happened, several deep sources say. 


When the Senate hearing happened, the group reportedly conspired to get the "heat off" Garcia and train the media guns at former defense secretary Angelo Reyes. Reyes, reports say, did receive a sizeable amount for his retirement. Yet, it was really a customary gesture at the AFP. Besides, Reyes reportedly spent the money on several C-S related activities. 


Anyway, it was decided that Reyes should be "out of the loop" since the heat feel on him. Several calls and meetings were made with Reyes in it. Reyes was never apprised of the plans of the group, sources say. He was "left hanging" in several meetings and telephone conversations. 


This led to Reyes' depression, the first one when he lost his money to support a partylist organization which eventually decided to drop him as nominee and second, when his dear friend, Rabusa, decided to "spill the beans". 


Several close associates of Reyes who are still very close to the "boss", reportedly acceded to the wishes of the group and altogether, decided to "come out". The group wants to take off the heat from Garcia and instead, want Reyes to sacrifice his reputation.


Worst, the boss reportedly called him and told him not to mention the name of the boss and their group. This, according to one source, Robles, became unbearable for Reyes. 


I call upon the Senate to investigate further the cause of Reyes' untimely death. We should not stop seeking for the truth. 


Reyes' death is a sign for us to look deeper into this very serious fund misuse scandal. Reyes would have died in vain if we failed to really bag those who still continually support former Major General Garcia.


I call upon President Noynoy Aquino to order a thorough investigation on those who reportedly met and called General Reyes in the last ten days of his life. Some of these people are the same ones who continually protect Garcia's ass.


Let us not just jail Garcia and let him rot there. We, the people, deserve the Truth.  


Garcia should expose those people whom he helped before. They should be held responsible for the death of General Reyes. Their names should be exposed.
