Ipakulong na ang mga sangkot sa Fertilizer Scam - Sen. Jun Magsaysay

Kinalampag ni dating senador Ramon “Jun” Magsaysay ang SANDIGANBAYAN para aniya ay ipakulong na ang mga responsible sa fertilizer scam na naglimas ng salapi ng bayan noong 2004 elections. Si Magsaysay ay kandidato ng Team Pnoy ng administrasyong Aquino. Si Magsaysay ang nanguna sa pag-imbestiga ng fertilizer scam noong 2005 at 2006.

Si Gobernador Carmencita Reyes ng Marinduque ay isa lamang sa mga nauna ng sinampahan ng kaso sa Sandiganbayan hinggil sa anomalyang ito. Ka-alyado naman ni Pnoy sa partido ang tambalang mag-inang Reyes, sina Regina Reyes sa Kongreso at Carmencita Reyes sa pagka-gobernador. Noong nakaraang pagdiriwang ng EDSA 2013 ay sinambit naman ni Pnoy ang ganito: 

"Mulat po ako: May kakaharapin pa tayong mga suliranin, at hindi pa rin nga po nauubos ang mga balakid sa ating tuwid na daan. Malinaw po, nariyan pa rin ang mga nakinabang sa nakaraang status quo", ani Pnoy. 

Ang bilyong pondo ng bayan na para sa mga magsasaka dapat ay pinadaloy lamang sa mga ghost private foundations at kumpanya, at ginamit lamang para sa pangangampanya noong 2004 elections ayon sa mga report.

CARMONA, Cavite — Compared to the time he came out with the Senate committee report on the P2.8-billion fertilizer fund scam, the period in which President Aquino’s appointee, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales, elevated the case before the Sandiganbayan, seems to be longer insofar as waiting time is concerned on securing justice for hundreds of farmers deprived the government funds due them, former Sen. Ramon “Jun” Magsaysay Jr. said yesterday.

Magsaysay, a senatorial candidate of the administration’s Team PNoy, called on the Sandiganbayan justices to act on the case and finally put behind bars those responsible in raiding the government’s coffers during the 2004 presidential elections.

Magsaysay spearheaded the Senate investigation between 2005 and 2006, being at the helm then of the committee on agriculture and food and came out with a report saying that former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo should be held accountable for the mismanagement of the funds intended for poor farmers.
The said amount was reported to be diverted to the political allies of Arroyo, allegedly channeled to ghost private foundations and companies, and eventually ended up being part of the so-called war chest or campaign kitty of the previous administration during the 2004 national polls.
