                    [Summary] => A 12-year-old graft case filed against former top executives of the Development Bank of the Philippines has been dismissed by the Sandiganbayan First Division on the recommendation of government prosecutors.


In an eight-page resolution issued last Sept. 13, the anti-graft court granted the prosecution’s motion to withdraw the information against all the accused concerning the alleged anomalous approval of a P23-million loan in favor of the now-defunct Wright Patterson Manufacturing Corp. (WPMC).

                    [Summary] => The Rizal police admitted having difficulty prosecuting the owner of a firecracker factory in Binangonan town that burned down the other day, leaving a worker dead and injuring nine others, because the victims refused to file a formal complaint against him.


Senior Superintendent Freddie Panen, Rizal police director, said they tried their best to convince the victims, including the relatives of the lone fatality, Rodelio Manamam, 25, but they all refused to file formal charges against factory owner Manuel Diaz, 54.

The factory owner, Manuel Diaz, 54, also sustained second-degree burns and shrapnel wounds while trying to save what was left of his P4-million business.


Senior Superintendent Freddie Panen, Rizal police director, told The STAR that the fire was a "plain and simple case of negligence," and not sabotage.
