Philippine's version of The Departed! The intermediary in the kickback case of Senate President Escudero, Ngau, turned out to be a special envoy of President Marcos!
After being accused of being involved in the kickback case of Senator Escudero, tech company executive Maynard Ngau resigned from his position at APVI Real Estate Company.
Former Deputy Secretary of Public Works and Highways, Bernardo, testified that Ngau accepted a 160 million peso kickback on behalf of Escudero.
Ngau is the CEO of Cosmic Technologies, the company behind the Cherry Mobile brand, and also serves as a director at APVI Real Estate Company. More interestingly, Ngau is a special envoy for trade, investment, and tourism of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
Bernardo claimed he is friends with Ngau and accused him of receiving kickbacks on behalf of Escudero. Escudero denied all the allegations, calling them part of a script against him. The former Senate President vowed to prove his innocence.
