Mayor Co’s Camp Reacts to the Accusations

Mayor Co’s camp reacts to the accusations blithely thrown by parties interested in the outcome of the political race in Zamboanga del Sur.

STATEMENT:

The person or persons making baseless accusations that Mayor Samuel Co is allegedly planning to offer bribes to prosecutors, are doing so in order to cast aspersions on what they fear will be an imminent acquittal. In doing so, they directly assail the integrity of the prosecutors of the Department of Justice and indirectly, that of Sec. Leila Delima.




We note that the allegations are so flimsy and baseless that the accusers are reduced to saying that Mayor Co is simply “planning to bribe” prosecutors. Nevertheless, they do so out of fear – the fear that they will be exposed as opportunists and liars, seeking to recover from an innocent party, amounts that they gladly and willingly invested in Aman.

The accusations that Mayor Samuel Co allowed Aman to operate are also strangely unique only to Mayor Co. No such accusations are hurled against mayors in Cebu, Misamis Oriental and other places where Aman and other such schemes have operated. In some of these cities, the permits to operate have been only for merchandising and it is only Mayor Co who sought to contain Aman Futures in Pagadian, by revoking their inappropriate permit.

We wonder how these accusers could have the temerity to make such accusation when the Mayor has only filed counter affidavits on two complaints. He has yet to file on the third. There is still quite a ways to go before the prosecutors can begin to deliberate on the cases. No trends have been established, no reasons for believing that the prosecutors have been unduly influenced. Nothing, save that of a plain reading of the law which clearly shows that based on the facts interposed, there can be no probable cause against Mayor Samuel Co

Clearly these accusations are fueled only by an intent to destroy the integrity of a Mayor who remains beloved in Zamboanga del Sur and whose chances for a resounding win for a Congressional seat remain excellent.

Accusations are easy to make during elections, but clearly, it’s all just politicking.
