                    [Summary] => The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) yesterday belied reports that the Philippine embassy in Tokyo profits immensely from fees collected from Japanese recruiters of Filipino workers deployed to Japan.


The DFA said the bond of $20,000 paid by Japanese recruitment agencies for each overseas Filipino worker they hire is actually an escrow bond that the DFA deposits in either the Land Bank of the Philippines (LandBank) or the Philippine National Bank.

                    [Summary] => Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) head Ma. Livia de Leon called on opposition Sen. Panfilo Lacson yesterday to issue a public apology for "maliciously implicating" the agency in the controversy surrounding the Jose Pidal bank accounts.

She rebutted Lacson’s claims that the PCSO deposited checks for P1.35 million in the Jose Pidal account.
