ROXAS: SENATE TO PROVIDE SECURITY TO FORMER LEGACY OFFICERS

The Senate will provide security and personal protection to two former key officers of the Celso De los Angeles-owned Legacy Group who will provide evidence on the company's illegal schemes that led to their eventual collapse.

Without revealing names in the meantime, Liberal President Senator Mar Roxas said that these former Legacy officers fear for their lives due to the weight of the information and evidence that they hold.

"Handa ang Senado na magbigay ng proteksyon sa mga handang magbigay sa amin ng ebidensya ukol sa mga buktot na pamamaraan ni de los Angeles para lokohin ang ordinaryong tao. Kasangga nila ako at ang Senado (We in the Senate are ready to provide protection to those who are willing to provide us with evidence on the corrupt schemes of de los Angeles to deceive ordinary people. They have an ally in me and in the Senate)," he said.

"Hindi na dapat palampasin itong mga kalokohan ni de los Angeles. Magbabayad ang dapat magbayad. Mananagot ang dapat managot. (De los Angeles' corrupt schemes should be stopped. There will be accountability. There will be justice)," he stressed.
