Foreign investors are being aggressively warned not to invest in the Philippines, corruption is uncontrollable and will lead to losses in investments. Websites, blogs and emails are warning foreign investors to stay away from investing in the Philippines. These warnings are being sent to foreign tourist agencies, business commerce groups, company executives and foreign government officials. The warnings are explicit and giving accurate details.
It is very evident that this warning campaign is working.
Philippines Department of Trade and Industry along with Board of Investments stated foreign investment is down 70% in 2014. See http://allpinoynews.com/boi-tally-of-foreign-investments-down-70-in-2014/
How can it not be, when government justice agencies are so corrupt that foreigners are unprotected. Foreigners being arrested, kidnapped and extorted by government officials. Complaints are filed with Ombudsman and Commission on Human Rights but absolutely no action is taken. See http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1191514
Criminal complaints filed with Philippines Ombudsman that are clearly exposing corruption by DOJ Secretary Leila De Lima are being covered up and buried.
A Greek businessman who has filed numerous criminal complaints against DOJ secretary Leila De Lima for malicious delay of justice, arbitrary detention and human rights violations has been forced to escalate his human rights violations by filing complaints in the United Nations Office of High Commissioner against 13 Philippine government officials as a "Criminal Syndicate".
The complaints state that he was illegally arrested, detained, extorted, denied due process and his family's human rights were violated. That no warrant of arrest was ever issued, that he spent 18 months locked up in Bicutan immigration detention center without violating any laws, all because he did not pay 9 million php ($150,000) to corrupt immigration officials. The Greek businessman owned a 600 station call center that provided hundreds of jobs to Filipinos and openly supports 2 local Cebu children's charities, thus the target of a corrupt Philippines Justice system.
Complaints filed with the Philippines Ombudsman CONCHITA CARPIO MORALES and Commission on Human Rights LORETTA ANN P. ROSALES have gone no where, not 1 government official has been arrested or charged, despite overwhelming evidence against them and numerous letters to CHR Investigative Division Attorney Diana De Leon and Attorney Flora Atilano, who in turn forwarded the complaints to Attorney Gilbert Boiser Director of CHR-NCR, who in turn has done nothing. These agencies delay and delay, hoping that the foreigner will tire out and quit. This is how complaints are handled for foreigners.
Even DOJ secretary Leila De Lima, who has been given numerous orders by the Assistant Ombudsmans Evelyn A. Baliton and LEILANIE BERNADETTE C. CABRAS to produce the "fantasy arrest warrants" that she refers to in his denial of being released, cannot produce them. Surely if the DOJ Leila De Lima has detained a foreigner for 18 months, she must have in her possession official arrest warrants, but after 26 months, she still cannot produce them.
DOJ Leila De Lima has been the subject of this complaint for 9 months, in the 9 months De Lima cannot produce the subject "fantasy arrest warrant" that kept the Greek businessman illegally detained for 18 months. Again violating R.A. 6713 prescribed time period of 30 days and despite numerous notices to her.
DOJ Leila De Lima committed perjury in letters to Senators, Office of the President and numerous government agencies who wrote to her inquiring why the Greek businessman was being held and his case not being promptly resolved. Leila De Lima responded that the Greek businessman is the "subject of pending arrest warrants" but when ordered for her to produce these subject arrest warrants, Leila De Lima has no answer, she is empty handed.
If the DOJ secretary Leila De Lima is corrupt and violates the Philippines Constitution and its laws, how protected is the foreigner who invests in the Philippines. DOJ secretary Leila De Lima answers to no one, not even the Ombudsman. Leila De Lima is lying to Senators, Office of President officials and other government secretaries in the DFA, DTI, DOT, BOI, who have sent inquiries into this illegal arrest and detainment for extortion.
The ego of the DOJ Leila De Lima is so big that she would rather destroy the Philippines economy rather than admit her mistake and correct her malicious injustices against foreigners. As more time passes, support of spreading the news of a corrupt Philippines justice system spreads quicker and wider, reaching millions of viewers weekly thanks to Net citizens groups like Foreigners for Justice, Get Real Philippines, Corrupt Immigration, Anonymous Philippines, Filipinos against Corruption, etc.
DOJ Leila De Lima is already under fire for her delay in justice of the Ampatuan massacre, its been 5 years and not 1 trial has been heard, all the while, the witnesses are being murdered. Leila De Lima recently stated, in the murders of the 44 SAF, that justice will be served. Who honestly believes this? The Philippines justice system has become an excuse factory.
Despite the DTI and DOT promoting the Philippines as friendly place to visit and do business, corruption complaints filed by hundreds of foreigners say other wise. They give a clear message "Warning, do not visit or invest in the Philippines!"
The internet and social media give thousands of links every year of the horror stories that depict the violence against foreigners, complaints of murders, robberies, assault, kidnapping, extortion and human rights violations pile up, the main violators are corrupt government officials.
For example if any foreigner googles "Philippines immigration corruption", there will be thousands of pages about the endless corruption by immigration. Just Google the present commissioners name "Siegfred Mison", again thousands of pages about his involvement in corruption. Corruption is so common that every week, the media reports about new cases of extortion by immigration and police officials.
Why would foreigners risk coming to the Philippines? Where the real terrorist are the government officials that are given the responsibility of administering justice.
