Garcillano faces new complaint |
|
Tuesday, 04 April 2006 |
|
from the Manila Times Internet Edition By Candice Y. Cerezo, Researcher SIXTEEN lawmakers on Tuesday filed charges of perjury, passport tampering and falsification of documents against former election commissioner Virgilio Garcillano before a Quezon City court. The lawmakers, led by Rep. Gilbert Remulla of Cavite, filed the charges to pressure Garcillano into disclosing what he knows about fraud committed during the 2004 elections. They accused Garcillano of faking his passport and its supporting documents to support his allegation that he did not leave the country at the height of the controversy last year, triggered by wiretapped telephone calls in which he and President Arroyo allegedly discussed poll rigging. Remulla said he and the 15 lawmakers filed a more detailed case of the same charges that Sen. Panfilo Lacson and three other representatives filed against Garcillano two weeks ago.

At a press briefing yesterday, Minority Leader Francis Escudero urged the poll officials to resign in the light of Commissioner Resurreccion Borra’s admission that cheating was carried out by both sides. Escudero’s position was backed by Akbayan Rep. Loretta Ann Rosales, who said Borra’s statements could be used to impeach Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos. |
