BALLSY, ELDON, PRADO: VICTIMS OF A DEMOLITION JOB

There have been reports that presidential sister Ballsy and brother-in-law Eldon Cruz, former Transportation secretary Pete Prado, and Engr. Steve Psinakis, husband of Precy Lopez, the daughter of the late Eugenio “Geny” Lopez, had attempted to extort $30 million from a Czech company in exchange for a supply contract with the Metro Rail Transit (MRT).

What amazes me no end is that a leading network and a radio station aired the allegations twice last week and yet again on Monday with the announcer urging the couple to clear their names without bothering to check the accuracy of the facts. Never mind if the story was devoid of substance.
