                    [Title] => Perez refutes PCIJ report
                    [Summary] => Justice Secretary Hernando Perez refuted yesterday the claim of the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) that he was involved in irregularities in the prosecution of the plunder charge against jailed former President Joseph Estrada.


Perez, in a statement, said PCIJ writer Malou Mangahas was not fully informed of what was going on in the ongoing prosecution of the plunder cases before the Sandiganbayan.

"Judging from the slant of the article, they interviewed people who were not really in the know," Perez said in the statement.

Ang also refuses to betray the former president by turning state witness and testifying against him in his plunder trial.

"Charlie has complete faith in the US court system," lawyer Donald Etra of Los Angeles said. "This is a matter of life and death. If he stays in the US, he will live. If he returns to the Philippines, the likelihood is he’ll be killed."
