FILAM LEADERS SUPPORTS BEN HUR LUYS TESTIMONIES VS SUSPECTED PLUNDERS’ SENATORS AT THE SANDIGANBAYAN. 

Los Angeles –‘FilAM leaders in Southern California were unanimous in their show of support to whistleblower Ben Hur Luy and the Anti Money Laundering  Council (AMLC) s revelations of 81 bank accounts of suspected plunderer senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla during the Sandiganbayan hearing in the Philippines.

In the TALAKAYAN sa FACLA discussion forum last Thursday, October 8, the Filam leaders were unanimous in their show of support for Ben Hur Luy. Luy was a state witness against the accused senators at the Sandiganbayan hearings in Manila.

Dr. Orly Cagampan said, “we are proud that there are people like Ben Hur Luy who are not afraid to tell the truth and have kept records about Janet Napoles and her cohorts who robbed and plundered the public coffers.”

JFAV leader Arturo Garcia also lashed at Senator Estrada, “ to say that Ben Hur Luy is gay and a liar is not only a smack of machismo but also a proof that the Senator cannot handle the truth” Garcia was reacting to a news report that Senator Jinngoy Estrada in a fit of anger called Luy “ a gay liar.”

Dr. Veronico Agatep expressed surprise to the revelation that Vice President Binay has a 350 hectares farm during the Senate investigation.

Agatep said, “ if this is the tip of an iceberg, that means more and more government officials are being unmasked as corrupt and unscloporous when they should really are supposed to be public servant.”

Meanwhile, New FRICLA President Lino Brutas said, “ this graft and corruption must be stopped. We appreciate that President Noynoy Aquino has taken steps to lock these plunderer up in jail. We just hope that he will do the same to his friends in the cabinet and the PNP.”

TALAKAYAN thanked Lino Brutas and Orly Cagampan for providing food during the TALAKAYAN. and the lunch after the discusssion.
