The decision of the Court of Appeals to allow the Department of Justice to file charges of syndicated estafa against Globe Asiatique owner Delfin Lee and his co-accused is a welcome development. Now we can finally continue our quest to seek justice for the ordinary workers defrauded by Globe Asiatique.
The decision also proves that Judge Rolando Mislang erred in issuing the Temporary Restraining Order. I laud the CA for not allowing one person to stand in the way of justice for the thousands victimized by Globe Asiatique and the fulfillment of President Aquino's promise to end corruption. It is a campaign that we are pursuing vigorously in the housing sector.
The evidence against Globe Asiatique is clear and unequivocal. We will continue to vigilantly monitor the case and assist the Department of Justice in whatever possible way to ensure that Delfin Lee and his co-accused will face justice.
