So, these are not luxury vehicles after all. PCSO admitted that the vehicles they gave away are all SUV's--luxury vehicles here, but mere "utility" vehicles abroad. So, what's wrong with giving utility vehicles?
Have you seen the plight of mountain people? Of how government services fail to reach them because of their distance from the nearest town? Who helps them in times of need? Who else but Catholic priests, missionaries and health care workers?
It is humiliating for the government to even ask Catholic bishops to account for these vehicles, since these vehicles were bought not because of luxury but because of utility. Sige nga, use a Toyota Vios or a Kia pride going up the mountains? I heard that those Isuzu alterras were used as ambulances and also for sending relief goods to far-flung areas. Of course, you use a 4x4 going up those mountains, especially to those areas with rough roads.
At the Senate hearings, it was later revealed that there were no Pajeros purchased. So, that Pajero angle was all PR, not legal. This shows you that this thing was manufactured in the first place, to humiliate the Church because of its campaign against the Reproductive Health bill.
And why is the church being villified? Because this administration fears that some Church members already joined the growing opposition against Noynoy. There are confirmed intelligence reports that certain personalities linked with the former regime are planning something sinister against the Aquino administration. The administration wants to break the tenuous relationship between fascists members of the former regime and that of the Church.
However, this so-called "scandal" has the tendency to fall flat since it's more of a PR stunt than anything. If you study this thing very closely, no law was breached.
That's why Margie Juico and the PCSO board are ignorant or they play dumb just for political reasons. They want to drag bishops and local government officials to these anomalies to hide the present scandals and indiscretions committed by the present board.
Do the public know that the Loterya ng Bayan, the scheme that PCSO wants to replace jueteng with, is tainted with anomalies? The Senate should look into this because this is more serious than the ones being thrown at previous boards by Juico and her gang.
The Loterya ng Bayan scheme is being peddled to jueteng lords and operators nationwide. They just closed the applications just recently, and the public does not know. Why? Because Juico and her gang launched this PR stunt for two (2) reasons: they want to ingratiate themselves to Pnoy and they want to hide the present anomalous transactions entered into by the present board.
The present board must explain to the public why the Loterya ng Bayan offering was conducted under a cloak of secrecy when the present Aquino administration has a policy of transparency.
The present board must reveal the identities of those who purchased a Loterya ng Bayan franchise.
Gumugulong ba ang pondo ng jueteng dito para pondohan ang pagsisiwalat umano ng mga katiwalian sa PCSO upang matakpan naman ang sinasabing anomalya sa pamamahala ng ahensya gayundin ang sinasabing papausbong na anomalya ng Loterya ng Bayan?
