Akbayan Rep. Kaka Bag-ao |
Unang intrigang sablay ay bakit daw si Rep. Bag-ao ang itinalagang caretaker kapalit ng nagtatagong congressman na si Ruben Ecleo Jr.
Ayon sa Inquirer.net report:
"Ecleo was removed from the list of members of the House of Representatives after the Supreme Court affirmed the Sandiganbayan’s guilty verdict on Ecleo for his role in irregularities in several infrastructure projects in San Jose, Surigao del Norte, where he served as mayor from 1991 to 1994.
He was sentenced to 18-31 years in prison and ordered to pay P2.8 million to the government.
Ecleo, a wanted man with a large bounty on his head, was also convicted last April of killing his young wife in 2002. He took over the cult, the Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association Inc., founded by his father, after the latter died in 1987."
