The ill-fated aircraft took off from the Loakan Airport in Baguio City late Tuesday afternoon and was supposed to go to Ifugao province as advance party for President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's inspection. However, it never reached its destination.

On board the aircraft were Press Undersecretary Jose Capadocia Jr., senior presidential military aide Brig. Gen. Carlos Clet, Undersecretary for Presidential Engagements and Appointments Malou Frostrom, Presidential Management Staff assistant director Perlita Bandayanon, Navy Petty Officer 1 Demy Reyno, and Air Force Sergeant Roe Gem Perez.

The pilots were identified as Major Rolando Sacatani and Captain Alvin Alegata. The Bell 412, a twin engine helicopter, was purchased brand new and delivered in 1996. Its latest certificate of airworthiness was issued last February 10 and is set to expire Feb. 10, 2010.

Chopper wreckage, 8 bodies found in Kabayan, Benguet On board the aircraft were Press Undersecretary Jose Capadocia Jr., senior presidential military aide Brig. Gen. Carlos Clet, Undersecretary for Presidential Engagements and Appointments Malou Frostrom, Presidential Management Staff assistant director Perlita Bandayanon, Navy Petty Officer 1 Demy Reyno, and Air Force Sergeant Roe Gem Perez.

The wreckage of the chopper was found Wednesday at a heavily forested mountain along boundaries of Benguet and Ifugao provinces. The bodies of seven of the victims were likewise recovered Wednesday while Perez's remains was recovered only Thursday morning, authorities said.



Judge Floro, LUIS, Mark my word, they will regret it! PHILIPPINE Air Force (PAF) said the pilots of the ill-fated presidential helicopter that crashed in Benguet last April 7 evaded a low cloud formation and thick fog engulfing a crucial mountain pass en route to Lagawe, Ifugao. Air Force spokesman Gerardo Zamudio said the evading helicopter flew into an enveloping mass of clouds behind it causing the Bell 412 Number 1946 to made contact with trees and crashed.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo pays tribute to the late Press Undersecretary Jose Capadocia (whose remains are in the coffin at left) and seven other Palace officials and staff (who died in a chopper crash on April 7, Holy Tuesday, in the thickly forested boundary of Benguet and Tinoc, Ifugao) during the vigil mass for the victims on Holy Thursday night (April 9) at Malacanang's Heroes Hall.

Eight died in the incident, including Press Undersecretary Jose Capadocia, Presidential Management Staff Undersecretary Malou Frostrum, and President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's senior military aide, Brigadier General Carlos Clet. Citing initial findings of the PAF Aircraft Accident Investigation Board under Major General Jovito Gammad, Zamudio said that the doomed 250th Presidential Airlift Wing helicopter crashed 6,900 feet above sea level between Mounts Mangingihi and Pulag in Tinoc, Ifugao.

Malou Frostrom: GMA's closest and perfect co-worker Frostrom was the Appointments Secretary at the Office of the President, and Undersecretary for Presidential Engagements and Head of the Office of Regional Concerns (ORC) at the Presidential Management Staff (PMS).

Midnights and 3pm on Fridays, Judge Floro's 2 mystic dwarves rejoice and jump endlessly crazy when they release Vendetta Violet light which strikes patiently targeting Honorable Thieves and Filipino crabs destroying by cyber fires all his enemies and persecutors so that their loved ones would suffer lingering illnesses and die horrible deaths due to the Biblical curse

"The impact site's bearing of 280-degrees that was way off the northernly direction of 30-degrees to Lagawe indicates that seasoned pilots Major Ronaldo Sacatani and Captain Alvin Alegata decided to turn back instead of hurdling the Kabayan-Pulag saddle towards Lagawe," he said. The Kabayan-Pulag pass is the usual gateway for PAF pilots flying the Benguet to Ifugao route because the mountain ranges that increasingly descend from that point makes flying safer.

"Florentino Floro was appealing against a three-year inquiry which led to his removal due to incompetence and bias. He told investigators three mystic dwarves - Armand, Luis and Angel - had helped him to carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers.

'Dwarf dalliance'

The Manila trial judge had asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the complaint and return him to the bench, after being sacked in April.

Florentino Floro "They should not have dismissed me for what I believed," Mr Floro told reporters after filing his appeal in May. The judge said he had made a covenant with his dwarf friends that he could write while in a trance and that he had been seen by several people in two places at the same time.Judge Floro reportedly changed from blue court robes to black each Friday "to recharge his psychic powers".

In a letter to the court he said:"From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal."

However, the Supreme Court said dalliance with dwarves would gradually erode the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule."

Why Execs Who Commit Crimes Should Serve Time

Why Execs Who Commit Crimes

Should Serve Time

• Here’s one big difference between you and me and a large bank: if we break into someone’s home and take their possessions and then have the misfortune to be caught, we’re going to face criminal prosecution and maybe even jail time. But as Mimi Ash discovered, when the Bank of America broke into her home, changed the locks, and took all of the possessions in the house, including her late husband’s ashes, even though the foreclosure behind these actions was a mistake, no one at the bank faced criminal charges. And the difference between us and a government entity: if we promise to make payments and then renege on that commitment, we will be in trouble, and may even face fraud charges if we made the promise knowing that we did not have the means to fulfill our obligations. But when the town of Prichard, Alabama, stopped making pension payments to its retired employees, something that was both predicted and violated state law, the city officials who made promises they didn’t keep faced few consequences.

The difference between what happens to individuals and organizations may help explain why there is so much persistent organizational malfeasance. After all, deterrence is a central concept in our criminal justice system. The idea is simple: if people think they can get away with misbehavior, they will misbehave. Thus, to stop murders, robbery, and assaults, it is incumbent on law enforcement to ensure that perpetrators of crime will face a high probability of being caught and enough punishment for their crimes to deter the undesired behaviors.

Companies face a very different landscape. When and if caught, companies may get sued–witness all of the foreclosure cases for damages winding their way through the courts. But who pays? A company’s fine comes out of its general funds, not from the pockets of those who actually did or oversaw the harmful behavior. As the recent news from Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, and other large banks that have set aside billions of dollars in reserves against anticipated future costs from the foreclosure fiasco illustrate, the shareholders are the ones who are ultimately on the hook. Corporate directors and officers are invariably covered by indemnity agreements. There is almost never individual prosecution for actions that, in a different context, would generate harsh prison sentences.

This even includes murder. Companies have sold tainted food (peanut butter, ground beef, spinach) that resulted in deaths, operated unsafe workplaces that wound up killing people (remember the Texas City refinery of BP), and dumped toxic pollutants into the air and the water. But no individuals went to jail.

This state of affairs is not just a problem for society and the past and future individuals who are harmed by corporate criminal activity. As Sarbanes-Oxley nicely demonstrates, all companies and managers incur the costs that arise from the misbehavior of a relative few. And when there was tainted spinach, bad ground beef, and other food scares, sales of the product category as a whole suffer, not just the companies responsible. That’s why it is actually in everyone’s interests, including businesses, to ensure that there is effective deterrence of corporate criminal behavior.

What’s appropriate for common criminals should be appropriate for people working inside corporations as well–as the saying goes, people who do the crime should serve the time. If the findings of the research on deterrence hold true here, and executives inside companies started facing criminal prosecution for criminal actions, there would be less criminal behaviors. That means fewer business consequences for companies, and less damaged reputations.

Punishment is obviously not the only way to modify behavior, but it works. Executives have unfortunately learned that they face virtually no consequences for approving break-ins and the theft of people’s property or food and workplace safety practices that result in death. No wonder all of these criminal actions continue unabated.
