Another potential applicant for Arroyo's "Witness Prevention Program"

MEMBERS of the Presidential Security Group last weekend tried to snatch an Army captain in an apparent attempt by the Palace to stop him from testifying before the Senate today on the alleged use of jueteng money to buy the 2004 elections for President Arroyo, sources said.

The sources said Capt. Marlon Mendoza, formerly of the Intelligence Service of the AFP, had been forewarned, however, and decided to forego plans of visiting his family in San Luis, Batangas.

Mendoza, from April to June last year, served as chief security officer of former Elections Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano who is accused of rigging last year’s elections for the Palace.

The sources said the members of the PSG who had staked out the Mendoza house were backed by operatives of the ISAFP.

After the government agents failed to locate Mendoza in San Luis, they looked for his wife and children, but were thwarted by residents who asked the operatives to leave the place, the sources said.

The sources made the disclosure as the AFP held a press conference saying Mendoza is facing court martial proceedings for a scam committed in 2003.

Mendoza said he expected the military to discredit him because of his decision to turn witness.

Read the whole article. Nothing special really... just another typical day under Arroyo's gangster adminstration.

Buti na lang hindi natuloy ang pag "soft touch" sa pamilya ni Mendoza.

shit! ano bang ikinatatakot ng mga kongresistang ito na maimbestigahan
sa impeachment trial si PGMA? Ito ay kahalintulad lang din ng pag-amin nila na guilty ang amo nila at kaisa sila sa masamang adhikain niti (arroyo) kung kaya takot silang mawala ito sa pwesto! Just simply like those Governors and mayors who supported her, di ba? These local officials naman kasi ang commonly engaged in jueteng kaya natural lang suportado nila ang isang jueteng government! ang tatapang ng mga sikmura!!!!!!!!!!!1
