Let there be no doubt---the Filipino People will protect honest government people like Heidi Mendoza, the fearless auditor who now is exposing the anomalies at the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Mendoza has called upon the Filipino People to protect her and her family from harm. And the Filipino People will respond accordingly.
I call upon all Patriotic elements to rally behind this petite lady as she takes the cudgels for honest men and truth seekers everywhere.
Various groups, including ecumenicals, have rallied behind Mendoza as she exposes how millions of pesos went poofed during her probe into the Garcia case. It seems that there were numerous pieces of evidence against Garcia that the Office of the Ombudsman failed to consider when they were investigating the case.
A re-investigation, and possibly a deeper one, is in order. Ombudman Merceditas Gutierrez should, in the interest of honesty and fair play, re-investigate this matter and file an appropriate case. There should be no doubt about it. Mendoza and ex Lt. Col. Rabusa's revelations are new pieces of evidence that could really be used to pin down Garcia and his cohorts.
Likewise, the State should not proceed with the plea bargaining agreement with Garcia given these new revelations.
The only question now is---how deep will these revelations affect the institution, that is, the Armed Forces of the Philippines? Will it initiate a reform movement within the organization?
