    August 2016

    A businessman, Abeto Uy and the chairman and CEO of the Batangas-based


    Steel Corporation of the Philippines (SCP), filed a complaint for extortion and
    grave misconduct against Judge Josefino Subia of Makati City Regional Trial
    Court Branch 138.

    It is said that Judge Subia asked for P15 million in exchange for a favorable
    ruling in connection with the complaint against the 5 insurance companies
    that failed to pay the corporation their insurance claims.

    Backstory, civil case for an insurance claim after the firm incurred a $41.9-million loss
    because of a fire that hit the cold rolling mill of its Balayan steel plant on Dec. 9,
    2009. (April 2015 filed Motion to Dismiss)
    Ang mga inirereklamong insurance companies ay ang Philippine Charter
    Insurance Corporation, Asia Insurance Philippines Corporation, Malayan
    Insurance Company Inc., New India Assurance Company Ltd., at MAPFRE
    Insular Insurance Corporation.

    Uy claimed that Rolando L. Palad, who was employed by SCP as an insurance


    consultant, served as a middleman between him and the judge as Palad’s wife was
    supposedly related to Subia.

    Palad supposedly told him that the judge would deny the motion to dismiss the
    insurance claim in exchange for P15 million.

    Uy said he negotiated through Palad to first give P7-million in downpayment and


    agreed to pay the balance once the motion is denied.

    Allegedly as instructed by the judge, Uy delivered the P7 million to Palad while in a


    car driven by Subia’s nephew.

    On Jan. 26, 2016, Subia denied the insurance firms’ bid to have the case dismissed.
    The firms appealed that order while seeking Subia’s inhibition from the case―but
    both motions were later denied by the judge as well.

    “It is apparent from the chain of events and the text messages of Mr. Palad that
    Judge Subia extorted money from me in exchange for denying the motion to dismiss
    filed by the insurance companies. Judge Subia’s actuation undeniably undermines
    the people’s faith in the judiciary and should not be allowed to continue to sit as a
    judge,”

    Former police colonel and self-styled gaming industry expert Wenceslao “Wally”
    Sombero surrendered to incoming Philippine National Police (PNP) chief
    Director Oscar Albayalde yesterday.

    Sombero surrendered after the Office of the Ombudsman on Tuesday issued a


    warrant for his arrest on plunder charges.

    Sombero is a retired police officer with a rank of senior superintendent. He was


    involved in the controversial release of some 1,315 Chinese illegally working at
    the Fontana Leisure Parks and Casino at the Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga
    in November 2016.

    The two former Bureau of Immigration (BI) officials, on the other hand,
    allegedly demanded P50 million from Jack Lam to facilitate the release of the
    illegal Chinese workers.?Albayalde said Sombero was among those summoned
    to shed light on the controversy before a Senate inquiry which later
    recommended the filing of charges of bribery, graft and plunder against the
    former police officer.
