Thus claimed Akbayan Rep. Loretta Anne "Etta" Rosales as she confirmed that the Marcoses are again trying to convince the victims to forge another compromise agreement with them.
Rosales said that a Mindanao solon, serving as an emissary of the Marcoses, has approached her and lawyer Rod Domingo for the possible forging of another compromise agreement.
"We told the emissary that if there will be another compromise agreement, the Marcoses should give it to us in cash and there should not be any conditionalities that will exonerate the Marcoses from criminal charges," Rosales said.
Rosales said that Mrs. Marcos, who was released from the Makati Medical Center on Dec. 20 after undergoing a major operation in the head, was merely floating her plan to enter into another compromise agreement with the victims to justify her travel to the US.
The Sandiganbayan granted on Dec. 7 the request of Mrs. Marcos to travel to the US where she is scheduled to issue a deposition on her family’s alleged ill-gotten wealth.
In her two-page motion to travel filed on Nov. 27 through her lawyer Gaudencio Palafox, Mrs. Marcos said that she received a "notice of videotaped deposition" last Nov. 14 from the plaintiffs, namely the Estate of Roger Roxas and the Golden Buddha Corp. — Jose Rodel Clapano
