Villar’s C-5 ethics case goes to archives — JPE
By Angie Rosales 07/23/2010 The Senate’s probe into the charges of unethical conduct allegedly committed by Sen. Manuel Villar Jr. in connection with alleged improper gains he made from transactions involving the construction of the C-5 road extension project will be consigned to the upper chamber’s archives like many other unresolved cases handled by the chamber. Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile, who led the Senate committee of the whole (Scow) in investigating the C-5 scandal, yesterday said the case will end up in the Senate’s records as the 14th Congress failed to act on it. He, however, said that reviving the case is still feasible even if the “complainant,” former Sen. Jamby Madrigal, is no longer a member of the Senate. “There’s nothing that will prevent anybody from reviving it because Villar is still a member of the Senate,” he told reporters at the Kapihan sa Senado news forum.
