                    [Summary] => Blame Ogami. I just did what I was told.


This was the statement yesterday of Motohiko Hagisaka, executive vice president of the ill-fated Unitrust Development Bank (UDB), pointing to his boss Genta Ogami as the culprit in the multi-million peso loan scam.


"I only did what he (Ogami) said. It’s Japanese company style," he said in Nihonggo to a lady Japanese reporter who translated her interview to local newsmen covering the justice department.

                    [Summary] => The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a writ of execution for the seizure of the assets of Japanese national Genta Ogami and other officials of G. Cosmos Philippines after they failed to pay the P57.18-million fine for the sale of fraudulent investment contracts.


Tomas Syquia, director of the SEC’s Compliance and Enforcement Department, said the 15-day deadline set by the Commission for the payment of the penalty expired last Monday,  Jan. 21, hence prompting the SEC to resort to the asset seizure.
