I admire Dela Paz for taking the heat alone, (truly observing the motto of all cavaliers, 'don't drag your superior when you go down') and at the same time, I feel vindicated as a Filipino for things such as this must not go unpunished. It is not because I'm a blood-hungry individual but I believed that justice must prevail. Filipinos are dying of hunger everyday, soldiers are dying in the field for the lack of standard equipment, while these officials have the audacity to travel around the world with million of persos? No amount of 'palusot' could be better than metting justice as necessary.

That RP culture of corruption is revealed most obviously on govt ranks of which they themselves should be the one to promote & set examples for patriotism & integrity being given the privileged of such noble positions for national service.

CBCP & other civic-groups are calling for NATIONAL TRANSFORMATION starting from every individual including the prelates.
However, to my opinion it is the govt who runs the system & therefore transformation should start from there.

NICE TOPIC SIR GINO!!!

Bros Gino and Regay,

I really doubt on this? Is he a Fall guy or a Sacrificial lamb?

What do you think?

Dela paz is definetely a sacrificial lamb up for offering. It has been the culture of men in uniform to protect their own kind.

Definitely!

They have their so-called "MISTAH" or Camaraderie or like in the Fraternity it's a Brotherhood!

Sa ganang akin mga bro. sadyang nakakabahala na ang talamak at walang pakundangang pangungurakot sa ating kabang yaman, kanya kanyang pamamaraan lang at estilo ng pandarambong, nakakainis na sa mga tulad natin nagbabayad ng tamang buwis (30%) ang makita nilulustay at binubulsa ng mga tiwaling opisyal na nakaupo sa pwesto, di lang sa kapulisan, militar at gobyerno pati nadin sa pribadong sektor ng pagnenegosyo. Sa kakapiranggot na matitira sa sweswelduhin ng isang ordinaryong manggagawa e mapupunta pa sa walang kwentang namamahala. Itoy matagal ng kalakaran sa bansa, bakit nga ba nagpapakamatay ang ilang mga gustong makaupo sa gobyerno dala pa ang kanilang kaapupuhan para manatili lang sa pwesto ang kanilang angkan. Mulat ang mga Pilipino sa ganitong katiwalian, ang sa akin lang naman ay may kuko ba ang batas kung mismong batas na nagsasabing proprotektahan ang mamamayan ay sya pang pumapatay sa bawat Pilipino di nga lang direktang ginagawa, pero naway maawa naman sila sa mga tapat at walang kakayahang ipagtanggol ang kapakanan ng sarili at bansa.

Just for observation:

Why does the government need to be replace by another traditional politician and keep on revising our constitution??? just for thought............walang magawa at gustong manatili sa gintong luklukan, lahat ng itoy mayhangganan......

tama ka sa obserbasyon mo na iyan bro marione, sa katunayan, ay di na kataka-taka na ang mga politiko ay nuknukang magpatayan para sa iisang pwesto. noong nakaraan lamang, napanood ko sa tv ang tungkol sa gulo sa may kalookan dahil sa pag-aagawan sa pwesto ng 2 bgy. chairmen. sa politika na umiiral sa pilipinas, ang lahat na tumakbo sa eleksiyon ay 2 lamang ang sinasabi, nanalo sila o kaya sila ay nadaya, walang gustong tumangap ng pagkatalo. ang hindi alam ng mga taong tiwali sa kaninlang sinumpaang posisyon ang malaking kahangalan na naghihintay sa kanila sa oras ng paghuhukom, hindi dito sa lupa kundi sa oras na itinakda ng maykapal

whew, these generals are really a pain in the ass of every filipinos paying their taxes.

just come to think about it, why do you have to bring your wife on an official business trip wherein they will be using the taxpayers money???what if those money were never detected in moscow??

aahh, poor ex general dela paz, if i were him, i will tell the whole world the truth and nothing but the truth.to hell with his chief pnp, if he will be jailed and so his superiors.

ex general de la paz is owned!!!!

[Gino]

dalawang bagay lang naman siguro ang dahilan kung bakit ayaw na ni Dela Paz idamay ang mga senior officers niya, (1) maaring he is really an 'officer and a gentleman' gaya ng sinasabi ng mga kabaro niya dahil sa di niya pag squeal, or (2) he is being pressured by his superior, either my death threat or baka ipitin ang retirement benefits niya. pero sabi nga sa biblia, "the truth will set us free"

[VtEC]

parang those were the days pa yang a true officer and a gentleman, napanood kopa nga yan na si richard gere ang bida he he he...pwede pa siguro yan kung reveal nya lahat ng damay..

sa kakainis ang ganyang ugali, alam ng mali pagtatakpan pa ang mali..kaya walang nangyayari sa pinas ng dahil sa mga mokong nayan e.sila sila nagtatakipan ng kawalanghiyaan nila sa gobyerno, kaya ang unang nahihirapan ang mga madlang tao.

Missing link to more anomalies in PNP

Sadly, silence has ceased to be golden rule.
Even though retired national police comptroller Eliseo de la Paz appears resigned to accept full culpability for the “euro generals” scandal, I don’t think the Senate should stop its probe. There are still many unanswered questions lingering in the public mind.

Did the euros confiscated in Russia really come from the Philippine National Police (PNP)? If so, why were those not intercepted in our airport when the generals were leaving the country, or when they arrived in Russia?

Let’s admit that the inspection facilities at our international airports are practically useless with respect to highly placed government officials, military and police generals among them.

It is imperative that the Senate uncover the source of the money. Even if the euros came from the Philippines, was the source legal? Consider the legions of drug and gambling lords we have in the country, corrupting police officers.

The Senate should look deeper into businessman Tyrone Ng Arejola’s admission that 45,000 euros of the seized money was his, that he gave it to De la Paz, who is his friend, for the purchase of a luxurious watch in Vienna to add to his collection of expensive watches. Arejola, the Senate should note, also admitted that he has several big projects with the PNP. This is more than circumstantial evidence. But who says the Senate needs more than circumstantial evidence?

Finally, does the PNP really keep millions of cold cash in its vault? If so, for what reason—other than sheer stupidity? And why was the cash taken by De la Paz not officially covered by a cash voucher? I have a gut feel that, if properly pursued, this horrendous cash management absurdity (ask the Commission on Audit if it is not), would provide the missing link to other anomalies in the PNP.
