LaSallian says Andres Bautista harassed the Marcoses during his term as PCGG Chief
The Marcosses and former PCGG Chief Andres Bautista
Andres Bautista’s name is all over the mainstream and social media due to his alleged 'ill-gotten wealth'. Now, he is again in hot waters for supposedly abusing his authority as PCGG Chief during Benigno Aquino III’s presidency.

Jerms Estradatouille Estrada, an alumnus of De La Salle University, explained why he resents Andres Bautista so much.



During Bautista’s term as PCGG, he ordered to raid the houses of Marcoses to retrieve the valuable and costly paintings owned by the Marcos Family. These paintings were untruthfully labeled as bought with the ill-gotten wealth of the Marcoses, said, Estrada.

“One can research court records but those paintings the PCGG sought were already ordered returned to the Marcos family by the Courts that handled cases that involved these paintings” Estrada stated. Therefore, in the eyes of the law, the said paintings were not acquired through the “what they call ill-gotten” resources of the Marcos Family.

This event was a form of harassment according to Estrada. He said that the courts have cleared the search warrants to the items of which the PCGG have seized. Was Bautista in good faith in executing such search warrant? Or was it because the President then was Aquino and it was the Marcoses who will be troubled.

As of this moment, the property of the Marcos family in San Juan was still under sequestration and Estrada would want to be informed as to why an asset bought before the prescribed period of investigating the assets of Ferdinand Marcos during his term as President is held by the PCGG as a product of an ill-gotten wealth and held for seizure.

Estrada even advised the new chief of PCGG to verify Bautista’s claims were not politically motivated and  and the warrant were legally issued. “Perhaps the current PCGG leadership should check the veracity of Andy Bautista's then claim and authorization to conduct those raids was to look for assets hidden by the Marcoses.”

People have privately asked me why I have so much disdain for Andy Bautista.

Well here is one:

Remember those "raids" PCGG conducted on the houses of the Marcos Family during the time Bautista was the head? The then PCGG Chairman says those "raids" in all of the Marcos homes including the San Juan property, where to search for other valuable paintings which the PCGG disingenuously stated were bought with ill-gotten wealth.

One can research court records but those paintings the PCGG sought were already ordered returned to the Marcos family by the Courts that handled cases that involved these paintings.

The "raids" were some sort of harassment since those alleged missing valuables listed in the PCGG search warrants were already cleared.

There was instead a "message" to the Marcoses from a then top administration official, which served as a warning not to pursue someone's employ.

Perhaps the current PCGG leadership should check the veracity of Andy Bautista's then claim and authorization to conduct those raids was to look for assets hidden by the Marcoses.

On a side note:

The San Juan property which the Marcos family owned before Marcos was President is still under sequestration


Why? I don't know and perhaps the current leadership of PCGG can explain why a property, acquired before the prescribed period of investigating the assets of Ferdinand Marcos during his term as President, is held by this agency
