MANILA— Six respondents who are allegedly involved in the "pork barrel scam" have left the country. Netizens weigh whether or not the government should find them.
According to reports, former Agusan del Sur Rep. Rodolfo Galido Plaza left the country on September 11.
A former staff member of Senators Enrile, Estrada and Ruby Chan Tuason also left the country last August 26.
Enrile’s chief of staff, Jessica "Gigi" Reyes left last August 31, bound for Macau.
A staff of Senator Ramon Revilla Jr., Richard Came, also left the country last May.
Former executive Dennis Cunanan of the Technology Resource Center (TRC) and head of theCountrywide Agri and Rural Economic and Development Foundation Inc. Mylene Encarnacion, are also no longer in the Philippines.
Thirty-five out of 38 respondents who were charged in the pork barrel scam are on the lookout bulletin, therefore, their travels should be coordinated with the Department of Justice.
In line with this issue, TV Patrol asked the question last Friday, “Tiwala ka bang mahahabol ng gobyerno ang mga nadadawit sa pork barrel scam na nakaalis na ng bansa?”
On Facebook some people agreed, while some people said they do not believe that justice will not prevail in this type of situation.
Litz B. Alico said, “Naniniwala akong maibalik sila pero mahabang panahon pa bago sila maibalik sa pinas. Dapat silang tugisin at hanapin dahil sila’y nagnanakaw sa kaban bayan! Tuonan sana ng pansin ng ating gobyerno para sila’y maibalik at mabigyan ng parusa! Sana mabuwag na yang pork barrel.”
Joan Magno Kostakis said, “Malabo na, kahit man matagpuan sila sa ibang bansa babayaran na lang nila yun mga naghahanap sa kanila. Sagad sa buto yun at kakapalan ng mga mukha ng mga yan. Mga makasarili kala nila madadala nila yun mga perang NINANAKAW nila sa hukay. Pera pera labanan nila sa dami nilang nanakaw tyak di makukulong yan mga walang kaluluwa na yan.”
Lorena Viana agreed and said, “Oo nman dahil hindi naman kurakot at may tiwala ako sa Gobyerno ngayon kesa sa dati.”
Ruben C. Saarenas said, “Mahahabol nila yung mga sangkot sa pork barrel. Kaso hindi na nila makukuha pa ang mga pera na nakuha ng akusado.”
EvhiieLyn Villafuerte said, “Sa tingin ko ay malabo na silang mahabol. Nung nasa bansa pa nga natin sila hindi na nagawang habulin ngaun pa kayang nasa ibang bansa na sila.”
On Twitter, netizens had less hope that the respondents who left the Philippines would be found.
Jason L. (@bacchus2482) said “Hindi. Hindi na bago sa atin ang anomalya. Taon taon meron, saglit lang natin kinokondena ang mga sangkot, hahabulin pa?”
Vonn Liwag (@Liwagerz20) shared the same sentiment as Jason and said “Hindi na, sa liit nga ng pilipinas kung hindi pa susuko si napoles hindi pa makikita, yung nasa ibang bansa pa kaya?”
Kathleen Ynzon (@kathleenynzon20) also said “NO! Hindi nga mahuli yong nasa Pilipinas lang, paano pa yong nasa ibang bansa na mas mayaman at maimpluwensya?”
Marilousyj (@assiprofm20) agreed and said “Mahirap habulin yon. Pero siguraduhin na lang na yung mga prominenteng kawatan ang maparusahan at magsilbing leksyon.”
Lawrence Vida ♫ (@Lawrencium0320) commented “Hindi na mahahabol yan! Lalo na kung pati ang gobyerno kasabwat!”
