‘Impossible’ for ranking BI execs not to know ‘pastillas’ modus–Hontiveros

“Dito lang sa pastillas operation, tantyang P10 billion and counting,” Hontiveros added. “So paanong naka-eskapo that time sa atensyon nilang lahat?”

Asked if the scheme was an indication of how BI Commissioner Jaime Morente was running the bureau, Hontiveros answered: “Nakakahiya nga yung position in which he was placed sa kasalukuyan. ” “Para gamutin yan, kaya binibigyang halaga ko rin yung pag-amyenda at pag-update sa 1940 Bureau of Immigration Law,” Hontiveros said, vouching to amend the Philippine Immigration Act of 1940.

Morente previously said that he had limited powers under the law to remove corrupt officials in the BI, as he had no authority to suspend or sack permanent employees.

hindi nila alam yan,,may appointee ba si duterte na may alam?parang wala nman..

Para din gobyerno kung kumikita sa tax na dati ay bawal, just look the other way.

Lahat sila kumikita. Hanggang sa pinakataas. Ang mafia protector

Heads should roll Ms. Senator.

Maybe 10B is not enough to constitute a whiff of corruption.

Sabwatan po yan may basbas na nangagaling sa higher authority .... Di nila magagawa yan na sila sila lang.....

Korek. Kasi pagdating sa kataastaasan, yema na po sa kanila. Mas matamis.

As always! Takipan

2 words. Money trail.

It's teamwork. Low ranking employees cannot pull off a scheme this big without support from the bosses.

Sounds like Carinderia Story!

it is impossible for high-ranking, corrupt government officials to NOT know about corrupt practices in their own operations. those practices are firmly in place likely because they're there. P10-B is not a drop of blood for these vampires. it is The Blood Bank.

Yun na nga eh! Bulag-bulagan lang?

Lumalabas na kabulukan ng gobyernong ito! Change is coming pla ha.

Bilyong halaga ng drugs nakakalusot. Prostitusyon at illegal aliens nakakalusot. Chinese at Du30 admin lang ang naiisip ko.🤔

Korek! paanong d nya alam ang laganap na corruption sa BI? lahat ng itinalaga ni Duterte na involve e malinis sa kanya sa anomalya ma corruption at ma drugs.

risahontiveros, sa Clark daw po 70k per head ang pagpasok nang mga Chinese Pogo workers
