HOY BALLSY AQUINO, MGA EXTORTIONIST PALA KAYO! NAKAKAHIYA!

Congress probe urged on Ballsy extort try 

 The alleged involvement of one of the sisters of Noynoy in an irregular deal comes not as a surprise since the four Aquino siblings has been active in the daily affairs of their brother from his haircut down to the clothes he wears for the day.
So why not a slice of the action since Noynoy still has three years left in his presidency?
The alleged involvement of Ballsy Aquino Cruz and Noynoy’s brother-in-law Eldon Cruz and their group, in the contract for the supply of coaches for the metro rail transit (MRT) which is the one that traverses the Epifanio de los Santos Ave (Edsa) that is a key road for the Aquinos since this is where the People Power assembly that had installed former President Cory Aquino, Noynoy’s mother, happened.
The persons said to have been helping the two in swinging the deal with Inekon, a Czech manufacturer of train equipment, are all family allies, and the name of a Lopez brother in law, Steve Psinakis, is also alleged to be in the inner group of Ballsy and husband.
Pete Prado was the Philippine National Railways (PNR) general manager during Cory’s term and Steve Psinakis was the chief conduit of the Aquinos with the Lopez family which runs a business empire the fate of which, in turn, hinges on an Aquino heading the government.
The allegations against Ballsy Cruz will also put to test the resolve of Noynoy on his “tuwid na daan” (righteous path) hype, which the longer that Noynoy stays in power, the more it is seen as a mere advertising slogan.
The details are not as sketchy as Aquino’s mouthpiece Abigail Valte claimed they are, since the main personages and the company they are brokering with plus the amount of commissions, from $2 million to $20 million in “facilitation fees,” were all identified in the report about the irregularity.
Valte also claimed the Aquino sisters were “far-removed” from the affairs of the government and should not be embroiled in allegations of anomalies particularly since the charges started from a blind item that had appeared in a newspaper.
The Ombudsman, however, is empowered to act on such blind items that implicates a government official going by the Ceasar’s wife rule.
The Ombudsman, however, cannot run against Ballsy since Aquino’s sister is not a public official, but it behooves Noynoy to follow the same principle in having the allegations investigated.
The main criticism on Cory Aquino was maintaining a so-called Kamag-anak Inc. which goes into action each time a juicy contract is entered into by the government.
Under Noynoy, the set up was resurrected and brought nearer to home under a revival.
The Czech deal may very well signal the Kamag-anak Inc.’s coming out in full force in the final years of Noynoy the same way that the last years of Cory Aquino had many of the Cojuangco-Aquinos getting into the act on some of the more juicy government contracts.
The Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act addresses the involvement of the Aquino sister in the Czech contract.
In Section 5 of the law it was stated that “It shall be unlawful for the spouse or for any relative, by consanguinity or affinity, within the third degree, of the President of the Philippines, the Vice President of the Philippines, the President of the Senate, or the Speaker of the House of Representatives, to intervene, directly or indirectly, in any business, transaction, contract or application with government.”
In the Time magazine commentary on naming Noynoy among the 100 most influential individuals in the world, it said that Ballsy should have been Noynoy’s nickname for his courage against corrupt practices.
So let’s see who Ballsy really is.

 PNoy's sister Ballsy in extortion?

MANILA, Philippines - Malacañang on Friday dismissed reports that presidential sister Ballsy Aquino and husband Eldon Cruz are extorting money from a company in exchange for government contracts.
Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte denied the allegation, which has already reached President Benigno Aquino III.
“One, everybody knows that the presidential sisters are very far removed from the affairs of government. Napaka-murky ho ng storya at halata naman pong talagang ito’y conjecture or gawa-gawa lamang," said Valte.
The Palace official said the allegation started as a mere blind item in the media.
"Hindi sa pinagkibit-balikat [ni Presidente] pero... at this point, it does not even merit a response given the obscurity of the details that are supposedly part of the story," Valte said.
Reports said the group of Aquino-Cruz was allegedly involved in an extort attempt against a Czech company that is supposedly among the bidders for the new coaches of the Metro Rail Transit.
