                    [Summary] => Smarting from the results of an international survey of 102 countries that ranked the Philippines as the 11th most corrupt nation, President Arroyo said yesterday the Public Estates Authority board of directors must resign even as she suspended all PEA projects, notably those which require public bidding.


The President said she would install an "interim" board to replace the current seven-member PEA board which figured prominently in the alleged overpricing by as much as P600 million of the President Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard (PDMB).

                    [Summary] => Lawyers of Public Estates Authority whistleblower Sulficio Tagud Jr. are trying to determine if the previous board of the PEA had something to do with the allegedly "overpriced" President Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard (PDMB) in Pasay City.


"We’re still looking for evidence. If the evidence shows that the old board could be liable, then we can amend the plunder charges we filed before the Ombudsman," lawyer Leonard de Vera told The STAR in an interview.
