Congressmen who voted to kill impeachment cashing in. More here on the post-impeachment payoffs.
Read this too. Detalyado ito.
PARTYLIST Rep. Eulogio "Amang" Magsaysay, the first to withdraw his signature in the amended impeachment complaint against President Arroyo, allegedly got P5 million.
The check, issued by Gina de Venecia, wife of Speaker Jose de Venecia, was deposited in Magsaysay’s account at the Eisenhower-San Juan branch of Bank of Commerce, a Malacañang source said.
His personal data submitted to the House of Representatives showed he lives in the Eisenhower Tower, Eisenhower street, Greenhills, San Juan.
His wife, Cachola, was overheard as telling a friend that they would use the money to pay for a new house.
Mrs. De Venecia, when told that the P5 million could catch the attention of the Anti-Money Laundering Council, supposedly said she would just say she bought jewelry from Magsaysay, the source said.
In withdrawing his signature, Magsaysay, of the Alliance of Volunteer Educators, said that he made a mistake in signing the amended complaint and asked that his signature be removed.
Magsaysay is the son of the late Sen. Genaro Magsaysay, younger brother of President Ramon Magsaysay, and Delia Rodriguez, daughter of the late Senate President Eulogio "Amang" Rodriguez.
He is a cousin of Sen. Ramon Magsaysay Jr.
Rep. Magsaysay earlier claimed that he was offered P5.5 million in exchange for not signing the complaint.
His endorsement of the July 22 amended complaint, he said, was a result of his disgust that some administration solons had tried to "unduly influence" his decision.
