The Dept. of Justice Monday ordered the filing of syndicated estafa charges before the Iligan City Regional Trial Court against Pagadian City Mayor Samuel Co and 11 others.

The case was in connection with the P12-billion pyramiding scam allegedly committed by Aman Futures Group Philippines, Inc. owned by Manuel Amalilio.

Aside from Co, also ordered charged were Manuel Amalilio, Fernando Luna, Lelian Lim Gan, Eduard Lim, Wilanie Fuentes, Naezelle Rodrigurz and Lurix Lopez.

The case arose from the P29-million syndicated estafa complaint filed by Julius Labunog against the respondents.

According to Justice Secretary Leila M. De Lima, the panel of prosecutors found that Co was an agent of Aman Futures contrary to his claim that he was merely an investor.

After the meticulous investigation conducted by the National Prosecution Service, it found probable cause to file in court syndicated estafa charges against Mayor Samuel Co and 11 other respondents.

Also ordered charged were Manuel and his wife, Abigail Pendulas-Amalilio as chairman of Aman Futures and the incorporators, directors and officials of Aman Futures namely Fernando Luna, Lelian Lim-Gan, Eduard Lim, Wialnie Fuentes, Narzelle Rodriquez, and Lurix Lopez and other John and Jane Does for collecting money from investors despite their knowledge their activity was illegal.

According to the panel of prosecutors, it was clear that Pagadian Mayor Sammuel Co was involved in the operation of Aman Futures based on the certification issued by Aman Futures on Aug. 25, 2012 certifying that Mayor Co is a legitimate agent.

This was corroborated by another respondent in the case Lilian Gan.

Mayor Co also offered the management of Aman Future their public building C3, where the operation of Aman Futures was conducted.

Meanwhile, the NPS cleared another respondent in the case, Jorino Ledesma for lack of sufficient evidence to be included in the charge sheet.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
