Freed of accountabilityIs President Aquino serious about giving his good friend, just-resigned head of the Bureau of Corrections Ernesto Diokno, another position in government?
What’s the basis for such an appointment? It could not be competence because he has proven as BuCor chief to be clueless about his job.
He said his understanding of his job was just policy-making and he refused to take command responsibility for the violation of his subordinate for allowing former Batangas Governor Antonio Leviste, in prison for the 2007 killing of his business associate Rafael de las Alas, to go out of the jail accompanied by fellow inmates.
Diokno also considered the practice of prisoners living out a “small matter.”
Antonio Leviste, living the life of the free while in prisonSana ang magiging aksyun ni Pangulong Aquino sa kaso ni Bureau of Corrections Director Ernesto Diokno ay hindi magiging katulad ng nangyari kay Undersecretary Rico Puno ng Department of Interior and Local Government, dating hepe ng Philippine National Police na si Jesus Versoza, at Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim nang sila ay nasangkot sa palpak na pag-handle ng kaso ng panghu-hostage noong Agosto 23, 2010 sa Rizal Park.
Ernesto Diokno: Leviste living out while in prison is just a 'small matter'Kaibigan daw kasi ni Aquino itong si Diokno katulad din nina Puno at Versoza. Kaya kahit palpak, hindi naparusahan. Nanatiling undersecretary si Puno sa DILG at si Versoza at pina-retire na lang. Hindi na ginawa na DILG secretary na siyang plano sana ni Aquino.
Sabit si Diokno sa kontrobersiya tungkol sa nabulgar na special treatment kay dating gubernador ng Batangas na si Antonio Leviste na nakakulong dahil sa sa kanyang pagpatay sa kanyang kaibigan at kasosyo sa negosyo na si Rafael de las Alas noong 2007.
