Capitol's PNB Loan 'sinister measure' further opposed


Previous post is about DOTC's approval of a grant for the development of the Marinduque Airport, the same project that the Provincial Government of Marinduque under Gov. Carmencita O. Reyes appears bent on pursuing. This is occuring inspite of prior statements already made by the DOTC and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) confirming allocation of appropriate grants to complete the said airport. Atty. Benjo R. Buenviaje of Sta. Cruz, Marinduque made a response on the article through his facebook account.

Atty. Buenviaje

Atty. Buenviaje serves as legal counsel on the case for Marinduque First Saturday Movers, Inc. an NGO at the forefront of moves to oppose the 'flip-flopping resolutions' issued by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan to justify the loan. Buenviaje, in his facebook account posted his comment, reproduced below with some friend-comments.

PNB had earlier given the provincial government up to December 31, 2012 to contract the said term loan for the specified amount of P300-Million or twice the SP approved amount of P300-Million. With three months before the elections in May, the loan proposal has been resurrected by the Reyes administration. In his facebook account Buenviaje states that 'the group already initiated an injunction case against the provincial government and the PNB before the Regional Trial Court of Marinduque. 

"The case became even stronger when the court recently granted my motion to have the mayors of Sta. Cruz, Boac, Gasan and Buenavista be impleaded as party plaintiffs", Buenviaje stated in his post.

  • Tats Collantes The more we voice out, the more kababayan will shout for justice.
  • Rose Ribleza Why not involve the media? Big time media......... Start the fire... make it big..... Make it real controversial to media... to politicians in Manila. Get everyone's attention.
  • Trixie Pelaez Atty my nephew is Ombudsman but I think he got promoted to a more higher position. Maybe he can help? His name is Atty. Vladmir Pelaez. His wife is also an Ombudsman. Good luck po: good morning! Have a Blessed Sunday to u & lvd ones!
  • Trixie Pelaez We have no Ombudsman over here & I really don't know exactly what's their job descriptions are. I just want to help..all I've heard is that Vladmir had helped several of our kbbayans already. If he can't do it, he has other pple who can do it.. I wish we can help! Good luck Atty! God blessings to all! Good morning po:
  • Benjo Recella Buenviaje Thanks for the sound advises Rose Ribleza Rose andTrixie Pelaez. We already initiated an injunction case against the provincial gov't and the pnb before the regional trial court of marinduque. The case became even stronger when the court recently granted my motion to have the mayors of sta. cruz, boac, gasan and buenavista be impleaded as party plaintiffs. While the court did not extend the temporary restraining order it earlier granted, the joining of the 4 mayors, together with the actual filing of a direct action of the people via the referendum process with the comelec, served a strong notice to the pnb that their money could be in a very big trouble if they insist on proceeding with the loan transaction while these cases are pending. These are legal maneuvers intended to gain harder impact with least cost. I'd like to have a detailed discussion of this matter with you but I am now barred by what we term in law as the rule on sub judice. Be that as it may, rest assured that there's no letting up and we'll finish the job come what may. I know God will bless us because we are on the side of what is good and just.
  • Trixie Pelaez Thank you po for sharing d development of this case. Good job Atty! God will not allow this thing to pass because it's not going to benefit our province. Good luck for d hard work Atty! You will be in our prayers as always! You're doing such a wonderful job already & you are not even in d office yet! I can only imagine how Marinduque will be in few yrs in d hands of our future good officials! Hats off to you Atty! How clever can you be! No wonder you are a lawyer. The future of Marinduquenos! Mabuhay ka Atty!
