Paje during the SLAMMATLORD party shortly after 2010 elections. This was held in Quezon City |
It is confirmed by the intelligence community that General Lim does not tolerate corrupt practices and does not receive any single cent from locators, smugglers, or foreign importers. He does not maintain any bank account for this purposes nor fixes papers for big-time smugglers.
The thing really is, there is a very close friend of the General who claims to represent him. Who is this guy? He goes by the name of retired Colonel Alan B. Paje.
Paje reportedly collects monies from big-time locators and players at the Bureau of Customs. Unknown to Paje, there are tons of evidence already collected against him and it is just a matter of time before the forces of Reason and the Tuwid na Daan guys bust him out.
Paje was formerly Lim's campaign manager during the 2010 elections. He, like Lim, is a member of the Reform the Armed Forces Movement or RAM. He's a Bicolano, and once studied at the Marcial Ranola Memorial High School in 1967.
Paje was one of several civilians who filed for amnesty before the DND. This includes my friend, Atty. Jose Belmonte, and several others namely, Jose Albert, Jimmy Regalario, and Jason Paul Malajacan. (that was last March 22, 2011).
Paje runs an office at Teachers' Village. This is the office he uses in illegally transacting with big-time locators and smugglers. Fact is, one of the meetings where he called those smugglers was held in this office.
Paje also transacts business with these smugglers and big time players in one of the hotels within the vicinity.
Paje uses a certain "emman" to handle media attacks against him. This emman writes for General Lim.
General Lim, if reports are to be believed, already scolded Paje for using his name in soliciting protection money from Customs smugglers.
(I am not at liberty to divulge current efforts against Paje because it could compromise operations)
There is another guy, R. Sacramento, who is also now involved in the big-time rackets game at the Bureau who was initially thought of, as Lim's Chief of Staff. Sacramento is involved in the Tina Yu smuggling business which is the reason why he was ousted by the Bureau in the first place.
A certain Mary Salvacion and this Sacramento guy liaises with big players at the Customs and collects monies from them. These monies, in turn, they give to Paje. Salvacion brags that she can protect the asses of those smugglers because she has the backing of General Lim.
General Lim should immediately disassociate himself with these stupid characters and this space is open for the above named individuals to issue statements clearing their names.
The fight against corruption at the Bureau of Customs should never stop! This bureau is the microcosm of Philippine society and if these people who now hold the relm of power there are useless and weak, what more to do, Mr. President?
I strongly believe Danny Lim will not tolerate anyone who besmirches his integrity as a person and as a public official. If this Mr. Paje is really the kind of guy you describe, he will be in trouble with General Lim himself for sure.

ReplyDeleteSacramento has been in the BoC for 22 years, now CIIS and reportedly "confidant" of Ruffy Biazon. Lim started in September 16, 2011 and took with him retired General Ordonez to be his Chief of Staff. Col Alan Paje could never hold a candle before Gen Lim. Paje is cousin of DENR Secretary who's also corrupt like him.
ReplyDeleteWhat? I guess, this accusations are baseless and mired with personal interests...
ReplyDelete@anonymous, I dont know why you think this is baseless when the facts are extremely accurate. What personal interest are you talking about, when I don't have anything to do with customs. I am a private citizen. I just had the privilege of having some friends who know what is happening at the Customs. Even President Aquino commented negatively at the Customs.
ReplyDeleteI think instead of defending these people, try to dig deep into that agency.
I am not destroying General Lim. Fact is, I am one of his supporters for change.
