In the past two others weeks the same editor again Fred Amora was being hinted about as being an exstortinist in this ordeal against Boy Pernia.

I will post them seperatley so you can get the full meal deal on whats really going on and being said and you allbe the judge yourselves of such matter.

Both persons invlolved on the two sides of the fence are friends of mine.

Editor hits attempts to ‘muzzle the press’                        Fred Amora

AN editor of a local weekly English newspaper lamented on the recent attempts to “muzzle the press” from further exposing raging issues of corruption in government.
Fred Amora, associate editor of another local newspaper here in Bohol, through an email message, sent a challenge to his colleagues in the Bohol Tri-Media Association, Inc. if, “they will surrender to those who seek to destroy us and the very democratic principles which give us the freedom to speak and write freely?”
For exposing the alleged illegal money-making activities inside the Bohol Poverty Reduction Management Office, Amora claims he is now maliciously accused of extortion and blackmail, among others.
Amora submitted to BTMA Wednesday his answer to the accusations filed b
rey dalay: by Antonietto “Boy” Pernia, chief of BPRMO who sent a letter to BTMA President Peter Dejaresco complaining about Amora’s alleged ethical conduct.
Amora said that copies of the complaint were distributed for publication without his side, and worst of all picturing him as an extortionist?
Two Commission on Audit Observations (COA-AOM) No. 2007-014 and AOM No. 2008-005 dated Dec. 18, 2007 and Feb. 18, 2008 respectively, declared “ILLEGAL” such deductions of coop funds amounting to P344,000 made by BPRMO.
COA lambasted the 10% deductions saying, “The poverty reduction office (BPRMO) is there to help and assist the cooperatives and not to manipulate the transactions to his own benefit.” (COA-AOM No. 2007-014, Sec (2), paragraph 2)
Amora said that he asked for a copy of BPRMO Chief’s officia
rey dalay: official explanation and comment of the issues as ordered by COA, clearly telling him that he needs that copy since his work in the print industry (newspaper) requires documentary references when writing a news story, particularly issues of serious concerns.”
“Waiting for a copy of his written explanation for almost three (3) weeks before its publication was “more than fair enough” – and that is because I value his name and our friendship,” Amora said.
“The publication, in fact, also opened an opportunity for Pernia to clear his name as the COA report was circulating in whispers inside Capitol, all pointing to him as responsible being chief of said office,” Amora added.
“The issue that Mr. Pernia should deal with and hopefully he could convincingly explain is why he kept such 10% deduct
rey dalay: deductions “un-official” and away from the knowledge of the Governor and even from provincial auditors?” Amora asked.
He added that “with coops now complaining there is no amount of media cover-up or muzzling of the press that can prevent the truth to come out.”
Amora also said that after the story came out in print, he called and put Pernia LIVE ON AIR for him to explain his side of the story at the DyRD 9-10 in the morning PULSO radio program where Amora briefly sat as co-anchor of Batchoy Alba.
The STANDARD also published an interview with Pernia about his reported trip to Canada; that he is not like the fugitive Joc-joc Bolante and he’s “not taking flight to evade the issues of BPRMO.”
“But after board member Josephine Socorro Jumamoy, SP chair on cooperatives called for an inves
rey dalay: investigation to the report which also prompted the creation of a Special Probe Team upon orders of the Governor, Mr. Pernia took a different view and “sadly” aimed his guns on me.”
“With his confidence and statements of innocence, I now wonder why he seemed so confused; even launching an all-out smear campaign against me,” Amora lamented.
“Anybody can even go further to check court records if I was ever charged of LIBEL, a crime that some media colleagues mistakenly consider a smart badge to wear,” Amora stressed.
“I was not even afforded a copy of said complaint for me to know what I am accused of and explain my side. I have a wife, children and a name to protect too. Does he value honor and family? --0
