Assassination highlights financial woes - Philippine prosecutor
NY TIMES NEWS SERVICE , MANILA
Monday, Oct 27, 2003,Page 5

In the last few months, Armando Rosimo had become a symbol of hope in the Philippines, a fearless government investigator leading a series of inquiries into the pervasive tax evasion, corruption and fraud by wealthy families and big businesses that have crippled this nation's finances for decades.

But as Rosimo drove his Honda Civic out the front gate of his home on the morning of Oct. 16, a man waiting just outside with a pistol fired two .45-caliber bullets into his head, killing him, the Philippine National Police reported.

The gunman and five accomplices, who had been serving as lookouts, yanked open the car's doors, checked to make sure Rosimo was dead, then commandeered a passing van and disappeared, said Colonel Don Montenegro, the senior police superintendent investigating the case.

This happened the 16th but I never saw any report on it so I put it LBN because the story came out today.

I am 100% that Estrada was framed by Ramos forces. The Philippines is a disgrace to the world. Bush is a disgrace to America for calling the Philippines a model for all to follow. Bush should be prosecuted for such a false statement which is much morally wrong than Clinton evading a question about sex with a girl. What, the American Media Whores, like Whorie Fineman, can't see the difference?

What date was Junior in the PI? It no one else heard about this assassination then it was illegally covered up by the Bush Shemale Whore Arroyo in conspiracy with the US Government as not to detract from Shit-for-Brains visit.
