Writer Charlie Avila different from P70-million ‘broker’ Charlie Avila

A writer who was implicated in a supposed P70-million “unholy alliance” of the camp of Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero and two leftist groups for the purpose of defeating the vice-presidential bid of Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has vehemently denied that he took part in the deal.

The story of The Manila Times that appeared on the paper’s front page on February 29 pointed out that according to a highly reliable source whom this paper named “Heart,” a certain Charlie Avila was the one who worked on a P20-million deal of Sanlakas and Escudero’s camp.
