STATEMENT OF SENATOR AQUILINO Q. PIMENTEL, JR.

On statement of Total Information Management Corp. CEO Jose Mari Antunez denying any link to the First Gentleman and the allegation that he demanded P500 million from Smartmatic

Friendship is not a crime. What is cause for worry is if criminal demands are proven to have been made. Then, there is justification for calling the deal with Smartmatic off. But if things are simply being speculated on, the automation should go on. And those who have the proof of any wrong doing should come out in the open and say so. It is important that thievery in government should be stopped the moment it rears its ugly head.
