A FORMER golfing buddy of the late president Marcos who is facing a P51-billion ill-gotten wealth case together with Marcos’ heirs has declared his willingness to consider a settlement offer from the government.
Herminio Disini, in an amended pre-trial brief he filed last Jan. 13 before the Sandiganbayan, said he “is willing to listen to, and possibly consider, any reasonable offer from the prosecution.”
Angara, Roxas lock horns over projects
Senator Mar Roxas II has proposed a suspension of payments for right-of-way claims for infrastructure projects to augment funds that can be used to stimulate the economy and blunt the adverse effects of the global financial crisis.
But Roxas’ proposal was quickly rejected by Senator Edgardo Angara, chairman of the finance committee, who warned that this would only derail the implementation of public works’ projects.
