Joker disturbed by AMLC probe on CJ records
Posted at 02/20/2012 6:04 PM
MANILA, Philippines - Sen. Joker Arroyo on Monday raised concerns about the Anti-Money Laundering Council's inquiry on Chief Justice Renato Corona's bank accounts before he was impeached last December 12, 2011.
"I find it strange that as far back as September to November 2010, there was already an inquiry on Chief Justice Corona...then followed by impeachment then followed by the investigation of the [Bureau] of Internal Revenue. Three invesigations have been conducted against the Chief Justice," he said.
"If we offend Malacañang, if we do not follow Malacañang they can proceed against us with the information gathered through AMLA. It is a disturbing thought," he added.

The bank secrecy law is clear on stating that foreign currency accounts (dollar accounts) could not be disclosed to anyone unless with the written consent of the depositor. but since corona earned the ire of the president, pnoy ordered the two branches of the government to dig up corona's bank accounts in order to black mail the latter. that is one credible thing that would justify or explain why the bank accounts of corona were exposed and fell into the hands of the prosecution.
the malacanan tenant is the one who ordered BSP and AMLC to investigate corona. to do that, BSP came up with a dept. circular that classified certain people as "PEP" or politically exposed personalities. this is all intended to give way to the witch hunt which the palace tenant orchestrated and to circumvent the law so he could get back at his perceived political foes. with the advent of such dept. circular, BSP and AMLC began a special witch hunt for PEPs who can be a subject for audits and whose accounts can be examined. this did not just put the banking industry in bad light but it has a big impact to the bank depositors. it sends a disturbing thought that this government could illegally order an investigation of the bank account(s) of anyone using BSP and AMLC's. the memo itself deeply encroach into the rights of our people. we can safely say that the law could not protect anyone who's a perceived political foe of the chief executive. the tendency of pnoy being a dictator is right in front of our doorsteps.
for the record, the two branches of the executive (BSP and AMLC) have no business investigating the accounts (dollar) of corona for two reasons. first, there is no court order to investigate the bank accounts of the chief justice. second, the law is clear in bank secrecy that all foreign currency deposits should be treated with utmost confidentiality unless with the written consent of depositor.
What the BSP and AMLC could not deny is that, they have examined the bank records of corona in PS Bank without a court order nor did they determine probable cause to start an investigation. one undeniable fact is that, the BSP auditors accompanied by certain Jerry Leal (anti-frau expert) have investigated the 1 million peso that corona won in a bank raffle. however, the million dollar question is this, why would BSP and AMLC would do a joint investigation involving the chief justice if there is no direct order from the tenant of malacanan? remember that this investigation on corona's accounts happened late last year while the president is berating the chief justice in many forums.
the tenant of the palace is hardly known to uphold, obey and defend the law. to make things worse, BSP and AMLC both vowed to execute the illegal orders of the boy from the stinky pasig river. take it from garcia, the man has more credibility than the man (?) in the palace.

amla
senator joker arroyo, times change, laws have to be amended or repealed or replaced, that is why we have lawmakers, if you think that we have to stick to antiquated laws, then we do not need lawmakers like you who wants to be staying i the past, please retire and save any dignity you had. thanks.
Its time for crooks to be worried
AMLA should be given more power to investigate. Joker is worried more about protecting corrupt official. If you have nothing to hide why worry. Laws should be made to protect the people against criminals and not the other way arround. Vendetta? How? If you are clean then you have nothing to be disturbed or worry about. Baligtad ang katwiran ni joker. Kailangan punta muna sa korte bago mag imbistiga? Hindi ba dapat mag imbistiga muna bago punta sa korte? Kaya pala palpak ang justice system dito.
I am also disturbed by Joker Arroyo!
I am also disturbed by Joker Arroyo's views being used by political group. he is the laziest senator judge in the senate not heard of any bill filed by this old man. He sleeps most of the time on senate sessions and probably waiting for his salary and pork barrel. I never voted for this guy because I know he will just sit and relax on the senate and I was right. Joker stand just to say that? how funny and irrelevant and without basis there he goes again of course we can only correct his behavior during election time and I hope he runs again so can make him pay his misbehavior in the senate. Poor old guy retiring without a legacy of his own! I pity this guy and Corona as the saying goes "Same feathers flock together" sad but true!
iisa ang tono ni joker arroyo.
bakit ba tuwing tatayo itong si JOKER ARROYO' ay lagi nalang nakapabor at nakaprotekta sa respondent na si chief justice?ano ba ikinababahala ni sen JOKER ARROYO sa pagbukas ng mga account ni CHIEF JUSTICE?baka mabuko na illgotten wealth nga?disclosure of SALN?takot sya ma impeach si CHIEF JUSTICE?.baka mawalan ng proteksyon si GMA?o baka naman....,may sabit ka din sa mga kaso ni GMA at ni corrona?kung walang mali,nakaw na itinatago..bakit kayo natatakot?
Joker (Arroyo) Has his priorities backwards,
It appears the Joker (Arroyo) Has his priorities backwards, Just like his mother, first there are investigations before there are indictments, Just ask Corona, the Chief Justice, he should know about these things, in this case there was an investigation as to large sums of money transferred, the part of government who does this is Anti-Money Laundering Council's inquiry this is their Job, then there was chargers such as impeachment, I am proud they did their jobs not like under the Arroyo administration, Yes that is right Arroyo is Jokers mother, so the Joker here is trying to save the one chief justice who tried to get the fugitive out of the country before Jokers mother was arrested, yes and when the IRS saw how much money this corrupt Chief Justice official has not reported, (in selling out cases or just out right payments bought for Corona justice, bought and paid for by the highest bidder, that is the normal business for the IRS, state office to investigate, The Joker has forgot that he too is under investigation by the United States Government, IRS, the questions in America is how so much money came into the country and why the Joker transferred California property was transferred from his name to his wife’s, could that be so the Joker was hiding this property from,

When will this government finally take hold of a true investigator who know how to read people and start their investigations on people like this Joker as it appears he is as dirty or worst then the Chief Justice himself? Please we cannot forget Miriam herself as she is running a close second with the joker!
