THE Department of Justice ordered a reinvestigation into the killing of Palawan broadcaster Gerry Ortega after it granted the request of his family seeking the indictment of former governors Joel Reyes of Palawan and Jose Antonio Carrion of Marinduque.
Local entrepreneurs from Marinduque's six towns are availing themselves of a micro-financing program introduced and implemented by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Marinduque office.  


Justice Secretary Leila de Lima issued Department Order No. 710 creating a new panel to conduct another preliminary investigation of the murder case.
Under this program loan amounts ranging from P 3,000.00 to P 50,000.00 are provided to qualified beneficiaries currently engaged in small livelihood industries such as production of native delicacies, sari-sari store expansion, handicrafts manufacturing, and trading of Marinduque-made products.  


The charges were filed by Ortega’s widow Patria Gloria against Reyes, Carrion and other respondents.
DTI provincial director Carlito Fabalena explains that the program is also open to new businesses with high market demand. Such loans are subjected to interest rate of 6% per annum, and are payable from three to six months depending on the gestation period. Payments are deposited to DTI Marinduque’s trust account and used as revolving fund.


This developed as Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, counsel of Reyes, said the result of the reinvestigation will still be the same -- that his client Reyes  is  innocent.
Chief of Staff, Erick Abad of Cong. Velasco's Office informs that more applicants will be benefited by Tulong Asenso with additional funding from the lawmaker's PDAF.


Reyes welcomed the DoJ order saying all means must be exhausted to bring the perpetrators behind bars.
Tulong Asenso checks are releaased by DTI to the borrowers on scheduled dates at the Office of Congressman Allan Velasco. Tulong Asenso para sa Marindukenyo is funded through Velasco’s Priority Development Assistance Fund.


The new panel is composed of Assistant State Prosecutors Stewart Allan Mariano, Vimar Barcellano and Gerard Gaerlan.  
Interested applicants to the program are required to fill out and submit application forms together with other requirements such as pictures, mayor’s permit, barangay certification and sketch maps.  


De Lima said the reinvestigation will address the offer for additional evidence by the complainants earlier denied by the first panel on Sept. 2.
Yesterday, 58 beneficiaries from six towns received their individual checks ranging from P. 3,000.00 to Php 50,000.00 at Cong. Velasco’s District Offices in Sta. Cruz and Boac.


The denial was based on the ground that an earlier resolution had already been promulgated prior to the filing of the complainants.


De Lima said she opted to use her plenary power in ordering a reinvestigation instead of waiting the possible petition for review from the complainant.


Her move voided a decision of the former panel dismissing the complainants’ motion seeking reinvestigation of the case.
Some of these beneficiaries are shown here being handed over their checks by Mike Velasco, brother of the congressman who also spoke on the latter's beha
