A puppy cowering in fear

George Rabusa

Rabusa seemed like a puppy  cowering in fear during yesterday's morning program of ABS-CBN "Headstart" hosted by Karen Davila. Tuta na ang buntot ay naka-ipit sa dalawang paa sa likod. Hay, naku, nakorner na nga, ayaw pang sabihin ang lahat.Nahihiya daw dahil masyadong personal. This when asked how much went to the boys on a night out.

But he could not parry the barrage of questions thrown by Davila. At length, he admitted saying it was only P8,000 each. Meaning for the women and drinks at those clubs where nothing is left to the imagination. Nakakahiya nga naman dahil kasama siya doon sa mga outings. Everybody enjoyed the treat - thanks to the millions that flowed into the AFP's coffers. Pero maliit ata and P8,000. What do you think, guys?

No, no, Reyes did not receive only P50 million as pabaon because the total amount that Rabusa withdrew from the bank was P164 M. It was coursed through Carlos Garcia, at one time his boss, and Reyes received P150M. The balance, suggested Rabusa, must have gone to Garcia. The withdrawals were arranged with the bank manager para hindi kagulat-gulat.

The wives of the generals were also included in the scandalous fare. For Mrs. Reyes, it was P30,000 to P200,000 for local trips and $10,000 to $20,000 for trips abroad. Kasama na doon ang mga bata..

In yesterday afternoon's interview of former chief of staff and Senator Rodolfo Biazon, he said Rabusa would be a credible witness because he was privy to a lot of such financial transactions in the AFP. His revelations should tell us more on the extent of this network of corruption in the AFP. Harinawa!

In a parting statement, Rabusa implored: " Sana mapatawad ako ng taong bayan kasi I was part of the rotten systen." ...Everyone must pay his due, right? I guess he should ask that forgiveness from the thousands of soldiers in the AFP who had to suffer as a consequence of the abuses of their superior officers.
