                    [Title] => DOJ mas gustong ’wag munang bumalik sa Pinas si Atong Ang
                    [Summary] => 

Kung si Justice Sec. Raul Gonzalez ang masusunod, mas gugustuhin nitong manatili na lang muna sa Estados Unidos si Atong Ang hangga’t hindi pa naibababa ang desisyon sa kasong plunder ni dating Pangulong Joseph Estrada.


Ayon kay Gonzalez, anumang sasabihin ni Ang, pabor man o laban sa dating Pangulo ay makakaapekto sa kaso.

Gayunman, ayaw ng kalihim na hilingin sa gobyerno ng US na panatilihin pa roon si Ang dahil posibleng mapahiya lamang siya kung hindi ito papaburan ng US.
