The National Bureau of Investigation has cleared Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez and is excluding him from its investigation into the alleged multi-million peso bribe, supposedly paid to secure to release of three suspected drug pushers known as the “Alabang boys.”

Arnel Dalumpines, head of the NBI Special Task Force investigating the reported bribery of justice officials and personnel of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), told VERA Files Gonzalez was not in his list of people to be summoned for questioning.

“We are not investigating Secretary Gonzalez because he was the one who ordered the investigation,” Dalumpines said.

Asked if, in effect, Gonzalez has been cleared of any involvement in the bribery case, Dalumpines said, “Yes, he is cleared.”

    Nakakatawa, Gonzales was cleared by his own corrupt agency!

    now here is the Question, who wants to believe the NBI on Gonzalez? It is not improper for an Agency or Police force to investigate its own on Matters of Administrative infractions, but for Criminal Matters, which is the case of the “alabang boys” scandals, it should never, never had been the case..never heard such thing..

  3. Wow! Ang mga unggoy, trying to impress pa raw na serious sila sa investigation nila! Ulol! Command responsibility ang kaso noong gunggong kung hindi man siya involved sa bribery kasi siya ang boss ng mga kurakot sa DOJ.

    These NBI agents should not have been under the DOJ but a separate entity like for instance our National Police Agency that is not part of the Ministry of Justice but coordinates with the said department in pursuing criminals especially in the government. Bobo! Nakakasuka ang sistema!

    Sabi nila, may deperensiya lang ang mga tao, pero sa sistemang pinapairal lalo na ngayong kriminal ang pinuno, hindilang tao ang may deperensiya. Mismong sistema palpak. Ginaya sa mga kano, tapos modify-in para daw tumama sa utak ng mga pilipino, lalong napalpak kasi ang layunin namang totoo ay para makakurakot ng husto ang mga gustung kumurakot lalo na iyong may bangaw sa mukha na may asawang ganid na baboy pa!

    Gloria as drug czar! Walang patawad, pati drug ay si Pidal na rin ang magmamaniobra. Dapat ay itumba ng drug lords ang mag-asawang Pidal kasi ay mawawalan sila ng hanapbuhay in the very near future.

    Grizzy,

    Grabe….obvious talaga, gusto ng mga kurap na igisa sa sariling mantika ang kasong ito?

    Wala na talaga sa pagtino ang gobyernong ito, paano nga naman makakasuhan itong si Raul o eh yong NBI na mag-iimbistiga mga alipores din ng DOJ?

    Sumaryosep naman…saan ba tayo niyan patutungo kung ganito ng ganito ang sitwasyon, walang matinong ahensiya ang makadiskarte upang kasuhan ang mga kurap at sinungalin na yan.

    May Ombudsamaan…wala rin kwenta, paano na ito?

  6. balweg balweg

    Chi,

    Ginagago lang nila ang kanilang mga sarili, remember…magkakanya-kanya ng lakad ang mga iyan sapagka’t nalalapit na ang kanilang katapusan.

    Ang kahayupan nila na pinaggagagawa eh may hangganan at nalalapit na ang kanilang mga araw?

    Ang Karma ang tutuldok sa kanilang kasinungalingan at itim na budhi.

    Nakapag-antay tayo ng matagal so konting tiis pa at sa sa atin din ang katarungan.

  7. Elvira Elvira

    Haay, naku…tumawa na nga lang tayo ng walang sound! Hanggang kelan itong panloloko sa mga Pinoy? Para silang mga Artista sa Itim na tabing! Sige, magpatawa lang kayo mga Ayup!
    Grizzy: Drug Czar na si Manang Gorang! Congrats! Marunong talagang magputong ng sariling korona!

    Bals (short for Balweg): Kung Drug Czar na si Gloria, ano ngayon ang title ni First B:? Answer, please…

    Answer: Drug Aczar.

    Will she fire Gonzalez? If not her being drug czar is just damage control. Also a diversionary tactic.

  11. Statement of the Concerned Citizens Movement

    Civil society today lambasted Secretary Raul Gonzalez for saying that the 20 Magdalo operatives working now with PDEA are responsible for discrediting the Justice department as part of a destabilization plan. “On the contrary, this Administration does not need help from anyone in destabilizing itself. The fact is rampant corruption in the Arroyo government, from the top to the bottom, is what is destabilizing this government and causing the Filipino people to lose trust in democratic institutions”, said Prof. Harry L. Roque of the UP College of Law.

    Betina Legarda, Co-Convenor of the Concerned Citizen’s Movement, lamented what she described as Gonzalez desperate effort to deflect blame from himself.: “As Justice Secretary, Secretary Gonzalez should be a man enough to accept blame for the Alabang boys fiasco. He is after all, the country’s Chief Prosecutor. The buck stops with him”. Meanwhile, former DOTC Secretary Josie Lichauso warned Malacanang to observe transparency and fairplay in the resolution of the Alabang Boys controversy. “It is when people have lost hope in the Justice system when they are left with no further recourse but to take justice into their own hands”, Lichauco added.

    Civil Society groups also demanded that Justice Secretary Gonzalez should also go on leave to avoid the impression that there is an ensuing whitewash. They also questioned the objectivity of the panel thus far appointed by the President observing that its members are “fanatics” of the President: “How can a known staunch supporter like Fr. Ranhillo Aquino be expected to be objective when he is an open advocate for the President?”, asked Gloria Alcuaz, also of CCM.

    Roque added that blame for the Alabang affair should ultimately lie with the President: “USEC Blancaflor has been very vocal in his statements that he only reports to the President. This must be why the draft letter for dismissal was prepared in the letterhead of the DOJ and why whoever prepared it was confident it was going to be signed by Secretary Gonzalez”, Roque added. “This is ultimately Mrs. Arroyo’s fault: the death of our democratic institutions”, Roque lamented.

    Correct. She just wants to calm down the situation since it involves two government agencies. Why doesn’t she also act as Golf Czar to solve the golf mauling incident involving Pamandamans and Dela Paz?

  13. WOW. ALA NA KO MASABI.

  14. Elvira Elvira

    BE:

    Good Answer!
    The Czarina in the midst of this big controversy! Does she think she can solve this problem by using her wand in Lying, Cheating, Stealing etc?
    Let’s wait and see! Excited na ako!

  15. Elvira Elvira

    “Why doesn’t she also act as Golf Czar to solve the golf mauling incident involving Pamandamans and Dela Paz?”

    BE:

    Walang Tongpats, este, no 50M, tama ba?

  16. Tedanz Tedanz

    Tanggalin na ang mga Secretaries niya at siya na lang lahat ang bahala. Para sa kanya na lang lahat ng Tong-Pats. Czzzzzzzzzzzzzariiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!!! Kapal talaga ang mukha … ni hindi naman ibinoto ng tao… ano ba ang ipinagmamalaki niya.
    Kaya pala BOBO lahat ang mga Prosecutor sa DOJ kasi kung magagaling sila e di nasapawan nila si Gunggung-zalez. E di ganun din sa Ombudsman puro BOBO rin ang mga Abogago doon …. kasi BOBO din yong Boss nila!!!!!!! Ngiiiii …. kala ko si Erap lang ang BOBO ….. ang dami pala. Sabagay yong mga Topnotcher nasusuhulan naman ng mga BOBO.

  17. chi chi

    Gusto ko sa lahat yung sinabi ni Atty. Roque, si Gloria ang may kasalanan ng lahat.

    Raul is just blackmailing his pekeng presidente, si Gloria talaga ang puno at dulo at lahat ng masamang nangyayari sa Pinas.

    The civil society should direct their anger to Gloria first before the Gunggong. Kung wala si Gloria ay wala sigurado si siRaulo. Raul is just there taking advantage of his creation.

    “..kala ko si Erap lang ang BOBO ….. ang dami pala.” – tedanz

    Hindi ka nag-iisa, erap! hahaha!!!

  19. kitamokitako kitamokitako

    Ang OA naman ng mga prosecutors sa red armband. Sobra defensive sila, dahil kaya pare pareho silang lahat, takot lang silang lumawig ang mga mabubuking? Nasan na ang inventory ng mga dismissed drug cases ng DOJ, dapat ipublish iyon, pati na ang mga nagdimiss na mga prosecutors or fixcals.

  20. bitchevil bitchevil

    Erap is not dumb as what you tedanz and others think.

  21. Si Gloria, drug Czar? Dyuskopo! Hindi na bayong-bayong na manok ang bigayan ngayon diyan.

    Buong poultry na!

  22. Panahon na ng balimbing. Tignan ninyo kung sinu-sino ang pupunta sa lamay ng ina ni Erap.

    Magkakalat ang mga huyango doon, pusta ko!

    ***********

    Nakikiramay nga pala ako sa pamilya Ejercito.

  23. vonjovi2 vonjovi2

    SI ERAP ay di BOBO baka tayo (yan sinama ko na baka tayo).. Naging Presidente ng PILIPINAS at mayaman kesa sa atin si Erap. Iyun ba ang BOBO…????? Minahal ng MASA at maraming natulungan na mahihirap kesa sa atin>>.. sino ang BOBO???

  24. bitchevil bitchevil

    Of course Tongue. Many politicians from the opposition and administration would visit the wake of Dona Mary. In fact, Malacanang through Sec. Durasa already sent its condolence. I wonder those like Mayor Fred Lim, Tito Sotto, Tessie Oreta would drop by now that they’re not in good terms with Erap.

    NBI clears Gonzales – harharharharhar! It feels like their s–t is in their mouth! You puke at the thought alone. Gonzales orders NBI Agent Dalumpenis to investigate the allege bribery to clear Gonzales – hakhakhakhak! What a farce. Its a comedy straight from hell. NBI is s–ting on the DOJ and Gonzales loves to eat their s–t. Just because Gonzales so ordered Dalumpenis to investigate the bribery clears Gonzales – yakyakyakyakyak! It beats plugging your head into your rear where the sun does not shine. Grabe – terrible – nakakadiri.

  28. Sabi ng mga sipsip, anti-drug czarina daw si Bangaw, pero mas tama ka, Elvie, sa di mo sinasadyang tawag sa kaniya.

    Natumbok mo! Tama ka sa pagtawag kay Gloria Mandarambong ng “Drug Czar!” Bwahahahahaha! Iyan ang tawag sa boss ng drug cartel sa Colombia sa totoo lang.

  29. Dito sa amin, pag may kasong ganyan, kahit na bulung-bulungan pa lang, sibak na agad ang hepe. Hindi tatagal dito si Gunggonzales kung dito nangyari ang kasong iyan.

    Sa totoo lang, never na narinig kong nakialam ang Minister of Justice namin sa mga imbestigasyon ng mga kasong pinu-pursue ng mga prosecutor dito na hindi nagsisilbi para sa Minister of Justice o sa Prime Minister namin kundi para sa hustisya at taumbayang nagbabayad ng sahod nila. Lalong di siya puedeng makialam sa mga imbestigasyon ng mga pulis.

    Tang-nanay ni Gunggonzales at Gloria Bangaw, sila ang nagididikta kung palalabasin o hindi ang mga kriminal lalo na iyong may milyong puedeng ibigay sa pondo ng mga Pidal. Yuck! Papaanong nakakalusot iyan? Apparently, walang improvement ang bansang sinilangan/nilisan na ng marami sa inis dahil mukhang walang pag-asa. Lalong napalpak nang ipuwesto si Gloria Bangaw y Taratitat!

    kung makakamatay lamang ang pagmumura’y hindi lang milyong beses nang namatay ang mga-anak ng inang putang umaastang presidente na ‘yang ubod kapal ng mukha’t walang kahihiyan kasama ang mga nakapaligid sa kanyang puro timawa’t gahaman sa salapi at kapangyarihan.

    lahat ng nakapuwesto sa administrasyong itong kulapol ng kababuyan ay mga lalaking walang bayag at mga babaeng kaladkaring ipinagpapalit ang linis ng pangalan sa akala nila’y habambuhay na pananatili sa kalinga ng pinakapangit na hayup sa balat ng lupa.

  31. MPRivera MPRivera

    sumpa ng sanlibong kuto’t milyong lamanlupa!
    bakit tayo ganitong para nang isinumpa
    sa gobyerno’y namumuno, mga gahaman at timawa
    mga sukab at mga ganid na tila walang pagkasawa
    sa paghuthot sa kabang bayang tuyot na at walangwala!

    hanggang kailan ba itong dusang ating pasa’t dadalahin
    hanggang saan ang pagtitimpi, ang pagpipigil ng damdamin
    aasa na lamang ba sa isang milagrong aasamin
    kahit gapok na ang pag-asang tinatalo ng hilahil
    makakangiti pa kaya tayo sa pagpikit ng mata natin?

    kung nais natin ang pagbabago’y simulan na itong dapat
    huwag nang magtumpik pa’t baka magahol itong oras
    lumalakad ang panahon, ang araw ay lumilikwad
    alalahaning walang pagsisising nauuna sa patawad
    at lalong ang pagso-sorry sa mga kasalana’y hindi sapat!

  32. MPRivera MPRivera

    wala na!

    ang laban ng magigiting na magdalo ay nilambungan ng senseysyonal na isyu ng alamang boys sa pangunguna ng mag-among poodle at inaamag na huklubang dayalisis sickretari.

    Hindi lang ako o kung sino pa … pati siya mismo tanggap niya.

    Being dumb is very different from lack of education. One can even be illiterate but has high IQ.
