Soldiers, policemen
assured of P18 rice Local execs ‘hoarding’ stocks
warned
BY VICTOR REYES
THE Armed Forces yesterday started selling
government-subsidized rice in its 32 commissaries for soldiers
and veterans and their dependents.
And instead of P18.25 a kilo, it sells the
rice from the National Food Authority for P18.
"All our outlets in the AFP commissary and
exchange service system will now be used as the distribution
outlets which could serve veterans and soldiers," said AFP chief
Gen. Hermogenes Esperon.
THE United Opposition (UNO) yesterday branded
as a "cheap charade" the graft charges against Hernando Perez,
the first justice secretary of President Arroyo.
UNO spokesman Adel Tamano said the filing of
the case against Perez was meant to create a public illusion
that the Ombudsman can prosecute allies and relatives of
President Arroyo.
"This reminds us of Oliver Lozano filing
impeachment proceedings against President Arroyo before the
House of Representatives," Tamano said.
