ICYMI: A farmers’ group criticized the Supreme Court’s decision to dismiss a graft case against Enrile and several others in connection with the alleged misuse of the coco levy fund, calling the ruling a “brazen” injustice.
Geronimo’s father, Pedro, 73, died two years ago from a heart ailment and Parkinson’s disease.
He got involved in the struggle for the return of the levy fund in his desire to bring justice to his family and the rest of the coconut farmers across the country. The graft case never went to trial where the respondents’ guilt or innocence could have been established. The chief legal counsel of President Marcos, the dictator’s son and namesake, agreed with the constitutional ground for dismissing the case cited by the Supreme Court as it took years for the government to complete its investigation.
“The perpetrators and the victims of the coco levy scams are now nearing the end of their lives. But the issue still lingers,” Geronimo said. “Worse, the undistributed fund is still being coveted by unscrupulous government officials under the cloak of the state bureaucratic maze.”
