Senator Leila de Lima expressed shock at reports that the top executives of Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corporation bought luxury cars including Porsches and a Lamborghini as the firm was awared P8.7 billion worth of government procurement contracts.
“Like everyone else, I was shocked by the parade of Lamborghinis, Porsches, and Lexuses owned by the directors of Pharmally who apparently went wild on a luxury car buying-spree after receiving their P8.7 billion windfall from selling overpriced PPEs, masks, and face shields to the government,” she said.
“Kulang na lang yung Maserati ni ex-DBM Usec. Lloyd Christopher Lao kumpleto na san,” the detained senator said in a dispatch from Camp Crame.
“Alam naman nating laway lang ang puhunan ng mga ito, lalo na ang laway ni Michael Yang na tila ba napakatamis para kay Duterte at siya pa ang tumatayong abogado para sa kanila. Alam naman nating si Michael Yang lang at ang kanyang koneksyon kay Duterte ang dahilan kung bakit nakorner ng mga ito ang bilyon-bilyon na kontrata sa gobyerno,” she said.
“So that is where our Bayanihan 2 funds went. Ginamit na pambili ng mga Porsche at Lamborghini, habang namamatay sa gutom at Covid ang ating mga kababayan,” De Lima lamented.
“Napakahalimaw nga naman talaga ng mga Pharmally directors na ito ano po? Mga walang kaluluwa, pati na iyong kanilang mga kasabwat sa gobyerno katulad ni Usec. Lao, ang nasa gitna sa lahat ng transaksyong ito na si Michael Yang, at ang kanilang kalabaw na tinutuntungan sa Malacañang, walang iba kung hindi si Duterte,” she said.
De Lima backed calls to to freeze the assets of “all these soulless monsters before they all fly away to the Carribean with their plundered loot.”
“The AMLC should immediately apply for a freeze order and initiate civil forfeiture proceedings against these shameless profiteers. Kahit huwag muna si Duterte. Saka na yung kalabaw. Kahit hanggang sa kanyang BFF na si Michael Yang muna,” she said.
“That Lamborghini, that Porsche, that Lexus, are the people’s money. That is our money,” De Lima said.
