Maza Seeks Probe on US-RP Balikatan Fund Scam

“The allegations of corruption and kickbacks involving high-ranking military officers merit no less than a serious and immediate investigation. Instead of adversely criticizing Navy Lieutenant Senior Grade Nancy Gadian’s character, the proper authorities should act on the whistleblower’s exposé and all other officials involved in this case should be held accountable.”

This is the statement of Assistant Minority Leader and Gabriela Women’s Party Rep. Liza Maza today over Navy Lieutenant Senior Grade Nancy Gadian's expose on the alleged P46-million US-RP Balikatan fund scam in 2007.

The Gabriela solon also scored the Armed Forces of the Philppines for resorting to draconian measures by placing Gadian’s 13-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter under military surveillance.

“These alleged harassment and evil tactics employed by the AFP apparently shows that they are threatened over Gadian’s exposé,” Maza stressed.
