Odd Names?

In the past Quadcom hearing on Confidential Funds, names like Mary Grace Piattos, Renan Piatos, Jay Kamote, and Miggy Mango were unearthed, leading the congressmen to doubt the veracity of the beneficiaries' names (they sound like aliases), making them look fictitious, bogus, and fabricated.

Extra efforts were made to verify the names and birth certificates. (They were like a bunch of fools looking for a needle in a haystack.) One congressman said no such names matched any birth, marriage, or death records mula sa Philippine Statistics Authority.

I am asking: "Were the people behind OVP so stressed out ... that when it was time for a liquidation ... they, instead of helping the beleaguered office ... had their ineptitude and clumsiness take the centerstage ... it invited national scrutiny and a close-up look. Can even elementary students read between the lines?

One Kibitzer commented there is no such family name as Piattos despite Senator de la Rosa's and OVP exec white-washing na may mga Piattos sa Davao. Di ba ang mga young guns sa Congress were offering 1M para lumabas lang sa lungga niya si MP ... pero walang kumakagat.

At the time they were making the dubious receipts ... were they munching Piattos as a snack, and it did not dawn on them that their inept and incompetent behaviors (na basta na lang magsulat diyan ng mga pangalan na parang naglalaro lang) would come to haunt them in the future?

                                      *************

More odd names are sprouting like mushrooms, and one group that stood out was the Dodong Gang, which includes Dodong Bunal, Dodong Alcala, Dodong Darong, Dodong Bina, and Dodong Barok. Ano ba yan? Pati ang movie legend na si Barok ay umeekstra at pumipila na as beneficiary sa confidential funds?

Una may chichirya, may root crop at mga prutas. With these revelations, more kinky and kookie names are expected to come out in the open, and this will be added as additional evidence that fictitious names were used to cover up the extravagant spending of the OVP.

                                         *************

As of press time, more irregular and non-existent names indeed have risen from their grave ... and some of the names that caught the prosecutors' attention were the Team Amoy Asim group, including Amoy Liu, Fernan Amuy, Joug de Asim.

This will really cast doubt on how Duterte's offices disburse their confidential fund. According to reports, these names were submitted by OVP to the Commission On Audit. "If something smells off from the list how much more the transactions themselves," asked one congressman.

                                         **************

Other supposed beneficiaries of the DepEd’s confidential funds who were found to be nonexistent include Andong Mio (nickname or alias ba yan?), Erwin Q. Ewan (Ewan ko sa inyo), Ellaine Aray (Araguy!!!!); Mutya Palanca (baka Diwata yan), Panglaw Quizon (Kung Tanglaw existent yan), Zeta (sixth letter of the Greek alphabet, Mike Delta (aka Mike Alpha - ang daming Greek beneficiary ha?) and Jael Zumba (siya yong dance instructor)

Being non-existent ... the absence of documented information for their names galvanizes the belief that their names were made up, and using them to justify the OVP confidential fund spending raises more doubts and eyebrows about the lawfulness of the disbursements.

                                                 ******************

Congressman Ortega stressed that the increasing number of bizarre names seemed to indicate a deliberate scheme to fabricate recipients and misuse public funds.

 “This isn’t just simple negligence. The names on the liquidation are fake. Where’s their accountability?"

                                    ***************

Inday Sara supporters countered na baka mga alias lang ang ginamit.

For crying out loud ... kailan ba katanggap-tanggap ang mga alias at nicknames to get a big sum of money?

Kung sa banko hinahanapan ka ng 2 or tatlong ID, swerte nila at napakaluwag ng disbursing officer ng OVP at nagbigay ng ora-orada kay Dodong,  Andong, kay Mrs. Aray, kay Mr. Ewan. kay Mr. Zumba, kay Mr. Asim lalo na kay Mary Grace Piattos  na wala man lang pagdududa.

                                     ***************      

Inday Sara could not shrug the issue or swept it under the rug by saying: "Wala akong hand diyan ... wala akong kinalaman diyan."

Wala kang kinalaman ... pero ikaw ang pumirma ng liquidation report? Ikaw pa rin ang mananagot diyan kasi ikaw ang pumirma. That is basing according to the tenets of accountability.

And there is also "Respondeat Superior" - a Latin phrase meaning " Let the head of the office answer". It is a legal doctrine holding the VP liable or principally legally responsible for the wrongful actions of her employees if such acts occurs within the scope of their employment.
