The lawyer of an alleged associate of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo on Saturday said the use of a private plane by Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos to fetch her in Indonesia was a possible violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. Ferdinand Topacio , who serves as legal counsel of Cassandra Li Ong, noted that Abalos himself said that the government spent nothing for the use of the aircraft.
Can you imagine, ipagmamayabang pa ng secretary of the interior, 'walang gastos ang eroplanong 'yan, hiniram ko 'yan!' Saang universe na mayroong batas at Saligang Batas na legal 'yung public official ka, manghihiram ka?" Topacio asked.GMA News Online has requested comment from Abalos regarding the matter, but he has yet to respond as of posting time.Abalos previously said transportation via private plane was needed to meet the 24-hour window to get Guo out of Indonesia.
