The 'POSEUR, LIAR'

Senator Santiago said that only 87 hectares of lands in Batangas specifically in Rosario were approved for conversion, so the senator immediately questions why the property reached to 350 hectares.

Sen. Santiago believed that the size of hacienda alone indicates a non—compliance with intent of agrarian reform law, in which was to break up the haciendas and then sell them it to the farmers. the legality of existence of hacienda - whether 145 — 350 hectares - under the R.A. No. 6657 (CARL), aka agrarian reform law is already deeply suspicious, and may involved crimes of the falsification of public documents, and illegal conversion of the agricultural land.

Santiago brands the statements on land now as "fairy tale."

"If Mr. Gregorio was not the owner or farmer—beneficiary, it is presumably that he is somewhat a poseur or fraud. And Mr. Tiu is surely lying when he claims that he have bought the said land from this poseur. With this, Tiu is now liable for contempt for telling some sort of fairy tales," senator said.

Santiago then questioned why the Binay has pictures of the said improvements of the alleged property if he does not own it.

Santiago then supported calls to file cases before Ombudsman so office can turn file cases in the court. She also believes that probable cause has already been established.
