I find Heidi Mendoza’s statements credible.
First and foremost, she PERSONALLY discovered the things she revealed like the P50 million which disappeared from a P200 million military check encashed and re-deposited in a Makati bank.
The check was signed by then military comptroller Carlos Garcia.
Mga PAPELES at DOKUMENTO ang pinagbasehan at inilabas ni Mendoza sa mga ibinulgar niya kahapon sa Kongreso.
Hindi siya tulad ng ibang nagbulgar ng mga anomalya kuno na walang naipakitang ebdensiya at sariling salita lamang ang bitbit na katibayan, o impormasyon kuno na nalaman nila sa iba.
Third, Mendoza named a lot of personalities and agencies in her exposes, like branch managers of the United Coconut Planters’ Bank and the US Department of Justice, from which anyone could validate her claims.
Fourth, she specifically pinned down Garcia and is not working for any politician so political gimmickry can be ruled out as a motive for her revelations.
Fifth, Mendoza has no known grudge against Garcia which could be a reason for her to destroy the former Armed Forces comptroller.
At higit sa lahat, WALA siyang kaso o anumang problema na hinihiling, o maaaring hilingin niyang MALUTAS kapalit ng kaniyang pagsasalita.
All that she asked for was security for her and her family.
Mendoza’s expose also left one bugging question about the Garcia plea bargain agreement with the Ombudsman.
Mendoza said she and one of the Ombudsman prosecutors were convinced there was an air-tight case against Garcia because of the things they uncovered against him.
The prosecutor, who also present when Mendoza was talking did not deny this. Subsequently, bail was denied to Garcia.
Kaya bakit lumipas lamang ang ilang buwan ay biglang humina ang kaso laban kay Garcia kaya kinailangan na ang plea bargain agreement?

From our blogmates:
A resident of Imus. Cavite who asked not to be named on “UNTOUCHABLE JUETENG”:
Sabi ni P-Noy noong panahon ng kampanya sa isang TV ad nya galit sya sa kurakot at itutuwid nya ang landas na di dapat paliko-liko. Kung di nya to (jueteng) prayoridad, ibig sabihin pinipili nya na lang ang dapat puksain o bigyan ng atensyon? Anong klaseng mentalidad ito? Dapat maging mabuti siyang ehemplo bilang isang lider ng bansa. at sana maging transparent siya at wag siya playing safe. Kung ano ang dapat kalusin at kung ano ang dapat isaayos na problema ay tutukan nya. Kung hahayaan nyang magpatuloy ang jueteng at wala syang gagawin, para na ring hinayaan nya ang isang kriminal na magpatuloy manalanta at mang-abuso sa mga mamamayan. Very bad. 30
