SENATE OFFICE, Manila, July 5, 2011-Senator Panfilo M. Lacson revealed that he has a copy of documents indicating that the Arroyos were the former owners of the helicopters which were forcibly sold and priced as brand-new to the Philippine National Police (PNP) for P105 million last 2009, saying that the sale of the choppers may make the Arroyos along with all those who took part in the sale prime candidates for a plunder case as the amount involved exceeded P50 million.
Lacson exposed that the initial findings would indicate that the previous and original owners of the pre-owned, yet sold as brand-new light police operational helicopters are the Arroyos. While it's bad enough that the two units were overpriced and therefore grossly disadvantageous to the government, passing them off as brand-new smacks of brazen deceit and utmost bad faith.
Lacson had initiated an investigation into alleged misrepresentations in the P105-million purchase of light operational helicopters by the Philippine National Police's elite Special Action Force (SAF); thus, the Senator together with the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Chairman Teofisto Guingona III have filed Senate Resolution 518 to take a closer look at the acquisition of the Light Police Operational Helicopters (LPOHs) from Manila Aerospace Products Trading Corp. (MAPTRA).
Lacson said that while the PNP officials involved in the deal were complicit partners, they are the least to blame in this anomalous transaction, saying that the first couple was so powerful at that time that ramming the used helicopters down the throat of the police was easy and effortless.
He said that since the proceeds could exceed the P50-million threshold in a series of acts, those liable are candidates for a plunder case under the country’s existing laws.
Earlier, the PNP Negotiation Committee recommended the award of the contract to MAPTRA for one Robinson R44 Raven II and two Robinson R44 Raven I helicopters last July 9, 2009.
But it was later learned that MAPTRA had been engaged in the business only in June 2009. Also, it was learned the supposedly new choppers were pre-owned as far back as March 2004. (Jason de Asis)

Akkaw....Ang tindi...Grabe naman pala yang si Arroyo.
nag dudusa na ang mga mamayanan ,namamatay sa gutom . ano ba kayo !!!Lacson: Helicopters sold to PNP in 2009 owned by Arroyos. The light operational helicopters priced and sold as brand new to the Philippine National Police (PNP) in 2009 were previously owned by the family of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Sen. Panfilo Lacson claimed Tuesday.
Mga kababayan ibinunyag ni Pangulong Benigno Aquino III na may apat na bagong kaso ng anomalya na kinakalkal ngayon ang Malacañang laban kay dating Pangulo at Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Abangan!
thumbs up ako sau bok...keep up the good and best work...
Hindi naman siguro magagawa ng mga Arroyo yun....Marami silang natulungan na mga tao. Diyan nga lang sa Aurora kung hindi dahil sa kanila ay hindi gaganda ang mga daan at tulay hanggang Norte. Maganda din yung bagong daan sa SCTEX na pinagawa niya.
Sir Jason napanood ko po yan kagabi grabe talaga.
ARROYOS TUMIBA NG P100M SA PNP CHOPPERS
Ang pamilya umano ni dating Pangulo at Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo ang may-ari ng dalawa sa tatlong overprice na helicopters na binili ng Philippine National Police (PNP) noong 2009.
Ito ang ibinulgar kahapon ni Senador Panfilo ‘Ping’ Lacson matapos itong makakuha ng dokumentong nagsasabing ang mga Arroyos ang dating may-ari ng mga helicopters na pwersahan umanong ibinenta at prinesyuhan bilang brand new sa halagang P105 milyon sa PNP noong 2009.
HOY GISING!
Dapat na lang ba natin tanggapin ang reyalidad na talamak ang kurapsyon sa Pamahalaan?
bakit po kaya ang mga tao tila hindi marunong masiyahan. puro batikos sa pulitko. sino ang mamumuno at sino ang susunod? para sa akin, walang pinakamagandang gawin kundi ang pakikipag kaisa, pakikipagtulungan at pagbibigay ng panahon na maibahagi ang positibong ideya.....kesa manira at maghanap ng pagkakamali ng ating mga halal na lider ng bayan.
Sa totoo lang po sir matagal ng umuusad ang kaso na iyan. Tahimik lang ang PNP sa pagdinig ng kaso. Kaya lang naging usapin ngayon ay dahil kay Sen. Lacson.
