It only took P100-worth of bananas and P50 cash for unlicensed boat captain Donald Anain to operate the M/B Princess Aya. | charieabarcaINQ
Anain said he was able to get the Philippine Coast Guard’s approval and signature – which allowed him to operate the ill-fated MB Princess Aya and leave the port on July 27 – after he gave the “gifts.”
Senator Grace Poe said she is no longer surprised about knowing that a scheme described by Anain exists. “Alam mo hindi na tayo nagtataka na may ganung kaganapan. Bakit magbubulagbulagan kung walang padulas?” Poe, who presided over the hearing, told reporters. Poe noted that P50 could go a long mile considering the number of boats that venture in the lake each day.“Kung 50 pesos [ang padulas] at sa isang araw [ay may] 20 [boats], [may] P1000 [agad] siya may kasama pang saging o alak. Nakaupo ka doon, may extra na bigay sa’yo diumano tapos may sweldo ka rin,” she added.“Ganun lang ba presyo ng buhay para ipikit mo ang mata mo? 50 pesos o 1,000 pesos? Ang sakit naman ‘yun kung ikaw ang nawalan ng mahal sa buhay,” she stressed.
