                    [Summary] => The joint team from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) which raided the three corporate offices last Monday was aimed at putting pressure on the Everflow group of companies to testify against Multinational Telecom Investors Corp. (Multitel), an Everflow official said yesterday.


Everflow director and merchant Marine Capt. Felix Aquino clarified that the search warrant was directed to gather pieces of evidence against Multitel because of their short-lived association.
