When did Francisco Chavez become Mark Jimenez's lawyer?

From the tribune:

Jimenez withdraws raps vs kin, Nani Perez et al

09/26/2007

Former Manila Rep. Mark Jimenez has withdrawn all the criminal charges he filed against his estranged live-in partner, children, on-leave Department of Justice (DoJ) Secretary Raul Gonzalez and former Justice Secretary Hernando Perez, merely saying he did it “in the spirit of reconciliation.”

Jimenez’s entourage, with his lawyer former Solicitor-General Francisco Chavez, went to the DoJ in Manila and

sought the withdrawal of the criminal cases before Assistance Chief State Prosecutor Richard Anthony Fadullon.

“I have unconditionally withdrawn all the cases I filed against my children and other relatives. Also I have withdrawn the cases I filed against Raul Gonzalez and Hernani Perez,” Jimenez told reporters after coming out of the DoJ building.

Naging lawyer na ba siya ni MJ nung binibira niya si ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez sa IMPSA scam noong Jan. 5, 2007? O hindi pa?

OMBUDSMAN Merceditas Gutierrez was accused yesterday of sleeping on the job after she failed to deliver on her promise to resolve pending criminal complaints against former Justice Secretary Hernando "Nani" Perez before the end of 2006.

Former Solicitor General Francisco Chavez, a complainant against Perez, said Gutierrez has apparently developed immunity to criticisms about her snail-paced action on complaints against individuals allied with the Arroyo administration.

"As usual, the Ombudsman is sleeping on the job. Our problem is that it is not a short nap but a long slumber. The callousness of the Office of the Ombudsman is too thick even for public opinion. Kapalan talaga ng mukha," Chavez said.

Chavez has accused Perez of receiving $1 million to secure a government guarantee for IMPSA, the company involved in the rehabilitation of the Caliraya-Botocan-Kalayaan hydroelectric plant, weeks after he was named justice secretary after President Arroyo seized power in 2001.

At ano nang mangyayari sa "imbestigasyon" ni ombudsman Mercy kay Nani at yung IMPSA?

From the Journal.ph:

CONTROVERSIAL businessman Mark Jimenez yesterday withdrew all the criminal charges he filed separately against his estranged live-in partner, children, Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez and former Justice Secretary Hernani Perez, stressing that he did it in the “spirit of reconciliation.”

Accompanied by his lawyers led by former Solicitor General Francisco Chavez, Jimenez quietly sneaked into the Department of Justice and formally withdrew the criminal cases pending before Assistant Chief State Prosecutor Richard Anthony Fadullon.
