Business,Business News,Business Opportunities

A Pampanga judge has ordered the arrest of the owner and officialsof Globe Asiatique over a questionable P6.5-billion loan that itssupposed "ghost" buyers obtained from the HomeDevelopment Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG). Vice President Jejomar Binay revealed Wednesday this development inthe Globe Asiatique case in his capacity as chairman of the Housingand Urban Development Coordinating Council and the Pag-IBIG Boardof Trustees. San Fernando, Pampanga Regional Trial Court Branch 42 JudgeAmifaith Fider-Reyes issued the warrants and recommended no bail,the Vice President said . "Globe Asiatique defrauded the ordinary workers who arecontributors of Pag-IBIG Fund. The company defrauded hardworkingcitizens of Pampanga by selling property they already soldlegitimately to other buyers, a practice known as doubleselling," Binay said.

"The issuance of the warrants of arrest against Delfin Leeand his co-accused just shows that the law is on the side of theordinary workers duped by Globe Asiatique," he added. Binay said the judge found probable cause for the syndicated estafa(swindling) charges against GA owner Delfin Lee, Lee's son Dexter,Globe Asiatique officers Christina Sagun and Cristina Salagan, andPag-IBIG Fund employee Alex Alvarez. "We will remain vigilant in monitoring the case until DelfinLee and his co-accused are behind bars," Binay said. Binay said he was told that Reyes initially deferred the issuanceof the warrants and directed the prosecution team to presentadditional evidence. However, upon the prosecution"s inquiry,it was learned the court staff did not disclose to the judge thatthere were six boxes of evidence in court.

"After reviewing the pertinent evidence, Judge Reyes issuedthe warrants of arrest. We were informed that the court staff arenow required by the judge to show cause why they should not bepenalized for the non-disclosure," the Vice President said. The Department of Justice (DOJ) earlier recommended the filing ofsyndicated estafa charges against Lee and his co-accused. An investigation ordered by Binay revealed that GA used "ghostborrowers" and fake documents to obtain over P6.5 billion inloans from Pag-IBIG.

In October 2010, Binay directed Pag-IBIG to file charges ofsyndicated estafa against Lee and other GA officials, along with anofficer of the agency, before the DOJ. A Pasig Regional Trial Court judge issued a Temporary RestrainingOrder covering the syndicated estafa case and another case for"double sale" filed against GA, but the Court ofAppeals in a decision last month allowed DOJ to continue filing thesyndicated estafa charges. — ELR, GMA News.
