Francis Earl A. Cueto, Correspondent
FORMER Commission on Elections Chairman Benjamin Abalos Sr. on
Monday denounced what he called as a continued demolition job
against him, after a landowner in Antipolo City dragged his name
over accusations of landgrabbing against the owner of the National
Book Store chain, which even insinuated the involvement of the
President’s husband lawyer Mike Arroyo.
In a media briefing, the Samahan ng Nagkakaisang
Magkakapitbahay President and Esteban Sierra Foundation Chairman
Aurelio Sierra accused bookstore owner Alfredo Cancio Ramos of
landgrabbing, which involves some 58, 382-square-meter worth over
P116 million.
