P153M stashed in scam box |

Liquid fertilizer hugely overpriced–supplier
|
|
Some P152.77 million passed through a bank account meant as

headed by Sen. Richard Gordon.
Julie Gregorio, president of Feshan that
supplied liquid fertilizer to the Department of Agriculture, said

but was sold as high as P1,500 by the department in 2004. Feshan
supplied 90,000 bottles to the government.
