                    [Summary] => We have a new monument, and it’s one that no Filipino wants. Transparency International, in its 2005 Corruption Report, listed the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant among several "monuments to corruption" in construction projects around the world. Transparency noted that the contractor of the BNPP had admitted paying $17 million in "commissions" to a crony of dictator Ferdinand Marcos to win the deal.

                    [Summary] => The Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) will file a forfeiture case next week against Marcos crony Herminio Disini in connection with the businessman’s bank deposits in Switzerland.


PCGG Commissioner Ruben Carranza Jr. said the agency cannot ascertain the exact amount of the deposits, but said the total was conservatively estimated at $1 million in 1986.


"The deposits had been moved before a freeze order on all the Swiss accounts of the Marcoses and their cronies was issued," he said.
