June 23, 2008, Pampanga Governor Among Eddie T. Panlilio filed a plunder case at the Ombudsman against Mr. Rodolfo "Bong" Pineda. According to the Sandiganbayan, Mr. Bong Pineda is one of the prominent personalities who helped former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada in acquiring his ill-gotten wealth. In Panlilio's recent press conference, he stated that under Republic Act No. 7080, any person who participated with the said public officer in the commission of an offense contributing to the crime of plunder shall likewise be punished for such offense. According to the Sandiganbayan's decision, Mr. Pineda severally gave millions of pesos to the former President. That's is why he is now being directly linked to the case. The governor's actions are part of his crusade and advocacy for Good Governance and Responsible Citizenship. " I call on all people of goodwill and courage to stand behind this crusade to rid our country of all the malaise that continue to pervade every level of government. Join me. This is not my personal crusade alone. This is a crusade of all decent Filipinos who will give everything of themselves to realize a dignified and dignifing country. As we desire leadership by example, so do we also desire justice by example. We, as responsilble citizens of this Republic, let us raise our collective voices against this pervasive perversion, or else governance will not have any moral ground to stand on. ", Panlilio stated.
