Prosecutor’s son airs side

Philip Kimpo, son of State Prosecutor Philip I. Kimpo, sent me his letter to Philippine Star.

It’s important that we listen to both sides so, please check this out:

  1. Who is State Prosecutor Kimpo in the scheme of things?

  2. I have read the son’s letter to the Philippine Star. Good literary work, but then, of course, a son is a son devoted to clean up his father’s mess to save even just the same name he carries.

    I would rather he tells his father to prove his accusers wrong. Otherwise, he does not convince me that his father is the only honest man there in the DOJ. Kung baga sa sakit, if there is an epidemic and his father is within the area of contamination, he is considered also a possible victim and/or carrier of the disease and needs to be isolated for further test, investigation and scrutiny.

    It is actually that simple. No need for any washing of hands like what Pilate did when the Jews crucified Christ.

    Time to kick out the sick deputy of Gloria Mandarambong at the DOJ. Sibakin na, ngayon na!

    Who is the ” DOJ’s honest prosecutor”? Meron ba? Name him!
    Si Kimpo? Bwahahaha!!!

    Much as I love to see all of the culprits to go behind the bars, but what caught my attention is the order of the evil bitch, instructing the DOJ prosecution (all of them) team to go on leave. But what surprises me is why the fuck did the evil bitch ask the INjustice secretary to also take a leave of absence, who he admitted that he talk to one of the family of the so called “alabang boys”. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS???

    The fuck is that’s the fact !

    Hindi lahat ng prosecutor ay dishonest, but the fact that they serve or in the employ of this fake and evil government of Gloria and under Goonzales pa, who’s one of the architects of the original sin, sorry na lang kayo. Perhaps, the honest ones should go out in the open and make bulgar to the public about DOJ’s illegal transactions. Gusto rin namin kayong makilala, kung meron nga.

  7. bitchevil bitchevil

    Not all prosecutors and government officials are dishonest and corrupt; but they look the other way. Let’s take this DOJ state prosecutor Resado for example. He showed quite a conviction in his testimony. He knew what happened and even witnessed the bribery; but he was only following order from his superiors. What these guys should do is to tell the truth like what Jun Lozada did. But then…what happened to Jun Lozada?

  8. rose rose

    I can understand his side..but can he tell his father to tell the truth on the what he knows about the system at DOJ? Just tell the truth..at doon malalaman natin kung malinis siya o hindi..kung tatahimik siya then pinatatakpan niya ang mga kasamhan niya..and I don’t blame him either he works there..king dapat siya magresign siya and get out from the system..

  9. vic vic

    The young Kimpo his speaking only for his father and granting for the sake of argument that his testimonies to his father dignity is true it is at the same time admitting that those other Prosecutors, even below his father’s positions, (his dad, i believe is the senior among them) who are having a higher standard of living than them, driving a more luxurious cars than them and living in better houses than them are into the “deals”…and so be it.

    alam ng ama, alam ng anak.

    bakit sila nananahimik?

    bakit pumayag silang maging kasangkapan ng isang administrasyong mula’t sapul ay alam nilang ang pundasyon ay PANG-AAGAW, PANDARAYA AT KASINUNGALINGAN?

    bakit nang magalusan ay saka lamang sila umangal?

    alin ba ang mas maantak, ang galos na hanggang balat lamang o ang sugat na tagos hanggang kalaliman ng laman?

    Kimpo Jr.’s story is a sorry one. Sad to say they have fallen victim to the corrosive and destructive touch of GMA-Gonzales cabal at the DOJ. They are getting burned. That’s what people get when they are close to evil. Prosecutor Kimpo Sr. may be an honest one, but he has wittingly or unwittingly condone the going-ons at the DOJ, hence he should willingly accept the onus they are getting. What the DOJ has done and is doing in its “kalakaran” is doing more harm than good. It is not far fetch that a lot of criminals are roaming the streets and neighborhood because the DOJ has been remiss and dishonest in its work. GMA’s corrupted ways has rubbed off the DOJ with Gonzales at its helm. What sorry state the DOJ is in (with its honest and dishonest prosecutors included) is their own doing. To Kimpo Jr., ask your Pa to fight corruption within the DOJ if he were really honest as you claim. We the ordinary citizen are hurting more than you.

    Solicitor General Frank Chavez was interviewed in the ABS-CBN News TV at ito ang ilan sa mga sinabi niya:

    1- maraming milagrong nangyayari sa DOJ
    2- hindi lahat ay nasusuhulan
    3- maraming kasong isinampa sa husgado na di dapat isinasampa at maraming dapat isampa na dini-dismiss
    4- alam naming mga abogado na kung sino-sino ang mga gumagawa (bribery) diyan

    Masyado rin daw maraming rekados ang hinahanap ng mga prosecutors para madis-miss ang kaso na hindi na nila sakop. Trabaho na daw dapat ng attorney at judge ang mga rekados na ito at ang korte ang siyang magdidis-miss ng kao kung kinakailangan.

    “………….Nakakatawang nakakainis nang sabihin ng Pangulo na gagamitan ng buong puwersa ng kapangyarihan ng pamahalaan ang mga opisyal na nagtaksil sa tiwala ng bayan o sa Ingles “those who betray public trust”.
    Wala yatang salamin sa Malacañang para magamit mismo ng Pangulo.
    Ang problema kasi sa administrasyong ito, kapag nakahuli ka ng medyo maliit o middle-level officials na gumagawa ng kalokohan sa gobyerno, lagi silang may ingunguso na kanilang idolo — Ang Pangulong Arroyo mismo. ”

    PGMA (Power Grabber Macapagal-Arroyo), idolo ng mga sinungaling, mang-aagaw, mandaraya, magnanakaw, bangag, manloloko at mga baliw!

    ‘yan marahil ang puntong ibig sabihin ni Taning este, ni tonying.

    “4- alam naming mga abogado na kung sino-sino ang mga gumagawa (bribery) diyan”

    itong si frank chavez ay magaling, matalino at palaban.

    alam pala niya, bakit hindi niya pangalanan?

  15. syria syria

    Hindi ba kayo nagtataka kung bakit mukhang pinapanigan ni GMA ang PDEA kaysa sa DOJ?

    Ang PDEA ngayon ay hawak ng military. Mas kinakailangan ni GMA ang military kung kinakailangan niyang ideklara ang martial law para sa kanyang planong term extension.

  16. MPRivera MPRivera

    syria,

    ang PDEA ay isang sibilyang ahensiya at si major marcelino sampu ng kanyang kapwa opisyal at enlisted personnel (kung meron) ay itinalaga lamang sa naturang tanggapan samantalang si general santiago ay isang retirado at ‘yung iba ay mga pinalayang makabagong katipunero.

    maaaring ang punto mo dito ay BUMABANGO ang PDEA dahil sa buong tapang at walang pag-iimbot na paninidigan ng mga unipormadong kasapi sa naturang tanggapan na nagpapatunay lamang na KUNG ANO ANG TAMA, HINIHINGI AT TAWAG NG KATUNGKULAN ay IYON lamang ang kanilang pinaninindigan.

    major marcelino at mga kasama, isang matikas na saludo!

    gayundin sa inyo, general santiago at makabagong katipunero!

    mabuhay kayo!

    kayo panibagong pag-asa ng sambayanang pilipino!

  17. syria syria

    MPR, you are right. I must have been carried carried away by the trustworthiness of the incorruptible PDEA agents who came from and who are still active in the military. I have the notion that the moral support of the military on the PDEA agents may have, in a way, influenced Malacanang to side with them instead of the DOJ from their conflict. Due to GMA’s evil intention for term extension, she finds it more advantageous to show that she sides with PDEA.

    If she sides with DOJ, the military will be hurt. Of course she doesn’t want and need this to happen, especially during this critical period. She doesn’t want her baby to cry. She badly needs her baby should there be an election or not.

  18. MPRivera MPRivera

    syria,

    no one among the righteous officers and soldiers support the PGMA’s (Power Grabber Macapagal-Arroyo’s) ambition to stay more in power.

    this one thing is sure, HER DAYS are numbered because i believe (and hoping) that the prosecutors who she wanted to take indefinite leave shall “sing a song” she will never like to hear. a step they’ll take in order to redeem their tarnished pride.

    after all, INILAGLAG na sila ng dialysis secretary of injustice.

    kanya kanyang linisan na lamang ng bakuran!

  19. Magno:

    Hindi sibilyan ang PDEA. Government agency din iyan gaya ng DEA namin sa Japan o kahit na iyong nasa Tate. In fact, may DEA rep from the US sa Japan na ang alam ko nasa US Embassy naka-detalya at nakiki-coordinate sa DEA namin dito. Same arrangement din yata sa Pilipinas para sa pagkokontrol ng drug trafficking kung saan-saan. Ang problema nga sa Pilipinas sa pagkakaalam ko may mga protector pa ang mga drug traffickers doon sa PDEA lalo na iyong mga nasa probinsiya gaya noong mga nadakip na agents sa Bacolod na bayan ni Mike Pidal.

    Dito sa Japan, ang DEA ay sakop ng Ministry of Health namin dahil kasi droga ang kino-kontrol. Kaya nag-i-imbestiga din sila ng mga kaso ng drug trafficking na parang mga pulis lalo na iyong mga inaangkat (smuggle) sa koreo. Ang mga warrants natural issued by the court, tapos ang nagsasampa ng kaso sa korte para mahusgahan ay ang prosecutor (taga-usig).

    Apparently, sa Pilipinas, mukhang pati iyong mga prosecutor ay hindi naiintindihan kung ano ang function nila gaya nitong mga involved sa Alabang Boys. Sila dapat ang nag-uusig sa mga kriminal at hindi nila trabaho iyong ipagtanggol pa ang mga dapat na ipinaaaresto nila. Hindi sila dapat nakikikutsaba doon sa abogago ng mga kriminal/gangster na Alabang Boys. Dapat nakiki-coordinate sila doon sa mga imbestigador ng PDEA and/or police. Bobo talaga sa totoo lang!

  20. Para sa mga bobo na gusto pa raw paingles-ingles di naman pala naiintindihan, ito ang ibig sabihin (meaning) ng mga titulo daw nila:
    lawyer/solicitor/counselor for the defense—tagapagtanggol
    prosecutor/fiscal—taga-usig (para mag-usig sa mga kriminal)
    judge of the court—hukom ng korte o hukuman
    police—pulis para mag-aresto at mag-imbestiga ng
    pinagsususpetsahang kriminal

    Bakit hindi alam ng mga unggoy ang nature ng mga trabaho nila? Pa-ingles-ingles pa kasi di naman pala naiintindihan ang wikang hiram at di naman kanila. Pwe!

    ‘Alabang Boys’ prosecutors to go on leave; DOJ conducts silent protest

    “……..Togonon said he was dismayed at how a mere allegation of a P50-million bribe turned into a huge controversy. He said that NPLP’s image has hit rock bottom with the bribery scandal that has dragged the names of the prosecutors of the “Alabang Boys” case.

    “We’ve been pushed to the very bottom. That’s why we’ll be meeting up at the Department of Justice to discuss how we can regain the people’s trust,” he said…….”

    ***************************************************

    in order for them to regain the people’s trust, file charges in court against the BIGGEST small bribe giver, gloria and the destructor of the philippine justice system, the dialysis secretary of department of injustice.

    tanggalin na nila ang kanilang pikit matang suporta sa dalawang anak ng putang nagdudyuwet sa pagsalaula sa ating lipunan!

    simple lang.

    huwag na silang manloko pa ng tao!

  22. MPRivera MPRivera

    “Hindi sibilyan ang PDEA. Government agency din iyan gaya ng DEA namin sa Japan o kahit na iyong nasa Tate.”

    yuko, government agency nga ang PDEA, pero purong sibilyan ang tema ng kanilang misyonat set up at ang mga katulad nina major marcelino ay detailed lamang sa naturang ahensiya.

  23. Dapat doon sa nag-lobby na pakawalan ang mga Alabang Boys ay inaalisan ng lisensiya para mag-practice ng law. Masama ang ginawa niya.

    Bribery na attempt to corrupt pa ng mga hindi dapat kinukurap maliban pa doon sa pagtatangkang huwag ipairal ang batas, at hindi pagtupad ng pamamaraan ng pagpo-prosecute ng mga kriminal na batay sa batas na tinatawag na “Criminal Procedure Law” na lahat ng bansa maliban siguro doon sa mga backward na bansa ay meron.

    Ang problema kasi sa Pilipinas ngayon, iyong mismong pinuno ng bansa ay isang kriminal!!! Kaya papaanong mapapasunod at maipapairal ang batas? Rule of law, wala! Rule of the jungle o rule of the piggery, meron!!!

    Sibakin na, ngayong taon na!

  24. Iyan ang dapat na tinatanggal, Magno, ang pag-a-appoint ng mga sibilyan na hindi dumadaan sa tamang proseso (meaning, kumuha ng civil service exam) sa mga delicate na trabaho gaya ng position sa PDEA, police, etc. Maski iyong mga hukom, hindi dapat mga appointee ang mga iyan. Problema kasi sa Pilipinas, maraming nagmamagaling, palpak naman kaya hindi na naayos ang bansa. Dapat alam na nila kung ano ang tama at dapat na gawin para tumino ang bansa, hindi iyong dinagdagan pa lalo ang mga privileges, etc. ng pinuno ng bansa na nakikialam sa lahat ng sangay ng pamahalaan na hindi dapat. Kaya ayan, sobrang abusada iyong kriminal na pinaupo nila na lahat na yata ng kamag-anak, kaibigan, etc. nakaupo sa mga mataas na posisyon sa pamahalaan lalo na iyong mga ahensiya na puedeng magpatalsik sa kaniya gaya ng DOJ at pulisya!!!

    Anyway, enjoy ako sa banat mo friend. Feel na feel ko kasi ganoon din ang damdamin ko. Salamat!

  25. Dapat ang ginagawa ng mga prosecutor ay hindi iyong hinuhusgahan si Marcelino sa pag-iimbestiga niya ng kaso ng mga drug traffickers na Brodett, et al. Dapat sila ang nagrerekomenda ng pag-i-issue ng mga warrants at mag-utos na puspusan lalo nina Marcelino ang imbestigasyon nila para lumabas ang katotohanan.

    Iyong ginagawa sa Tongreso, kalokohan iyon na doon ginagawa kuno ang imbestigasyon ng kasalanan ng mga drug traffickers, na tinawag pa kuno ang kamag-anak ni Brodett para patunayang drug trafficker nga siya. Para que? Para iligaw ang lahat at hindi pansinin iyong sumbong kung totoo o hindi na may attempt to bribe officials of the DOJ, including the Sickritary, and the state prosecutors? Wise try, mga unggoy! Sabi nga bobo dela yuca!

    Iyong imbestigasyon ng ginawa ng mga drug traffickers, trabaho iyan ng mga pulis at hindi iyan trabaho ng mga tongressmen lalo na kung may mga parokyano pa sa kanila iyong mga drug traffickers. Natural magtatakipan ang mga unggoy na iyan. Bakit hindi iyan naiisip ng mga bobo sa pamahalaan? Ang sagot? Kasi pare-pareho lang silang mga kriminal gaya noong babaing may bangaw sa mukha!

  26. CaseBlue CaseBlue

    The prosecutors in the Philippine setting have a dual role. They investigate complaints and they prosecute cases in court. When they investigate complaints, they act like a judge. They determine if there is sufficient evidence to file the complaint in court. They have to be impartial. They have to be neutral. Both the complainant and the respondent have the right to due process: the right to be heard by a neutral and impartial investigating prosecutor.

    Once the case is filed in court,the prosecutor becomes the lawyer for the People. The complainant is merely his witness. It is only at this state that the prosecutor can tell the complainant what evidence is needed to secure a conviction.

    We used to live in Galas, QC, in my boyhood (huwag niyo nang tanungin kailan). It is not a plush neighborhood, in fact a working man’s neighborhood. The lifestyle check proves the son’s assertions.

    The news reports I have read point only to Resado, and Zuño as the probable connections of the Alabang boys. Kimpo, may have been caught in the crossfire. He may not know about the “business” in the DOJ. If he does, then he has the duty to tell the authorities what he knows. But like bitchevil says, he will have to take on the powers, just like Jun Lozada.

    The issue, is still the resolution. Where is it? The text will determine whether or not it was “massaged” for a preferred result. Kahit anong himas, kung pilipit, makikita sa panunulat mismo. Bakit ayaw ilathala ng DOJ?

    True, it has not yet been promulgated. But it is now the subject of allegations about bribery, so it is evidence of whether or not an attempt has been made. So the House should be furnished a copy.

    Yup, meron ba syang balls gaya ni Lozada? He may be honest, but it takes more than ‘silent’ honesty to make a change.

    The Evil Bitch is in a panic mood. She wants to redeem herself artificially. Take note that next year is 2010. Between now and then, she’ll pretend to do some good things. I was astonished by Ping Lacson’s recent statement about the Bitch. He said she could still change for the better. It’s not too late for her. Why such a tone from Ping now?

  30. Seriously, I asked about Kimpo (the prosecutor) because don’t know about him. Been scouring the news but who exactly is he? Where does he fit in, in the scheme of things.

    Thanks.

  31. chi chi

    Hi Anna,

    From Ellen’s “Droga sa Administrasyong Arroyo”, Jan 6:

    “May resolusyon na kasi ang Department of Justice na napirmahan ni State Prosecutor John Resado na inirekomenda naman ni Senior State Prosecutor Philip I. Kimpo na aprubahan at inaprubahan naman ni Chief State Prosecutor Jovencito Zuño.”

    Kimpo is one of the Three DOJ Mosquitos.

  32. bitchevil bitchevil

    As long as DOJ denies and refuses to admit the fixers roaming around the office, everyone there without exception is guilty; at least as accessories to the crimes. They certainly know who Atty. Alex Tan and one Mike Muslim are.

  33. bitchevil bitchevil

    After the DOJ prosecutors were ordered to go on leave by the Evil Bitch and complied by Raul Goonzalez, the latter argued that the PDEA officials must also go one leave. This old shit
    never gives up. Instead of going on leave or resign himself, he wants PDEA to be punished too.

  34. chi chi

    Nagpapatunay lang yan na kayang-kaya ni siRaulo na ‘takutin’ at ‘utusan’ ang kanyang bitch!

  35. Thansk Chi!

    Now I understand… If so, and if he wants to be included in the bravest of the braves, he must join Major Marcelino in exposing the attempted corruption.

  36. Agree with Atty, “He may not know about the “business” in the DOJ. If he does, then he has the duty to tell the authorities what he knows. But like bitchevil says, he will have to take on the powers, just like Jun Lozada.”

  37. Been to his son’s blog twice and must say that if what the son says is true, they don’t even own the house where they live is pretty simpatico but again, Kimpo must come clean if he really wants to protect his “integrity.”

  38. I can understand the son’s defense of his father, but c’mon, he shouldn’t be that naive, he knows for a fact that there is a strong possibility that money could have, indeed, changed hands. He himself hinted, in his letter to Jarius Bondoc, that “Yes, people, there are honest prosecutors in the Philippines.” As if honesty was a rare gem, which of course, it actually is, set against the backdrop of the whole bureaucracy in general. Which only connotes that the DOJ is indeed a corrupt organization. Just like the rest of Gloria’s government. I will give Kimpo the benefit of the doubt for now, he may indeed be a pearl amidst all the swine.

    As for the others’ “low morale”, because they have been wrongly accused, they say? Of course they’ll have low morale. Who wouldn’t, after the opportunity to feed their long history of insatiable greed has been “moderated” or worse, the possibility of losing it altogether has become stronger?

  39. chi chi

    If Kimpo recommended the resolution to Zuno for approval without knowing the ‘dots’, what would it make of him?

  40. It’s an Old Boys Club mentality that’s prevalent in this case. Listen to the lawyers rantings on TV, they seem to protect their own kind. I saw Atty. Sal Panelo and the lawyer from the CHR, they are siding with the DOJ in this case. Ditto Atty. Verano’s interview on Mo Twister’s show on ANC. Also check the blogs, the fora, they speak the same thing. Suddenly, the pushers’ rights are more important than those of the victims! Is it because pushers generally can afford to pay fat sums for their legal defense far more than the ordinary schmoe can? I just hope not.

    Such twisted minds.

  41. Right on Tongue!

  42. vic vic

    The Young Kimpo in his blog entry confirmed that the family was not unaware of the “goings on” in his Father’s Agency. He did mention that their lifestyle is different than most of the other prosecutors, then why his father not doing anything about the “ongoings”? It is just like the famous statement that if a few good men would just sit and let go the wrongdoings around, they, the good men in fact by omission can no longer claim to be such, somehow they are part of the problem.

  43. Statement of support for Maj. Ferdinand Marcelino from his classmates detained in Camp Capinpin:

    We wish to convey to you our unequivocal support as you stand on your ground to tell the TRUTH.The search for it is a costly endeavor if it runs against the interest of the powers that be.The dignity of the soldier and the institution should be guarded like our very own no matter what it takes.

    As your mistahs,we feel proud as another member of the class chose the road less travelled, unmindfull of the consequences that come with it. One can not just sit back in his comfort zone and become deaf,mute and blind to the evils that pervades in our society today. At the very least,condemn it with his words. Dissent without action is consent.

    The Academy motto of “Courage,Integrity and Loyalty” is meant to guide us our whole life through. We pray for you as you are subjected to all kinds of pressures. In the end, it will only be the truth that will prevail and will set you free.

    As our class name “BANTAY LAYA” connotes,we should stand guard against tyrany of whatever form.Emma Goldman said,”Resistance to tyrany is obedience to God”. Freedom can not prevail in a corrupted society where lying,stealing and cheating are the orders of the day.

    Lift up your endeavors to God Almighty for nothing is more powerful than the prayers of a righteous man,keep the faith and finish the race.

    Our salute to you mistah.Godbless.
