In the Philippines, the Regulator of the gambling industry will investigate a pair of councilors for the city of Paranaque, Edwin Benzon and John Ryan Yllana, over allegations that they may have accepted ‘grease money’ in order to help fast-track the approval of Entertainment City casino projects.
In other words, they have conspired with Paranaque City Council Executive Assistant Rick Villanueva in order to bribe fellow government employees, which is a violation of the code of conduct for public officials as laid out in Republic Act 6713.
While the investigations start the three of them were suspended, so they cannot influence or intimidate incumbent city officials and other persons that may have knowledge relevant to the investigation.
