The Secretary of the DOTC, ex-General Leandro Mendoza has amassed billions and billions of Phil. pesos, aside from his share in the defunct ZTE-NBN scandal. This general has received KB's during his tenure with the Land Transportation Office and was instrumental in the smuggling of alleged car and truck spare parts, but the container vans contain luxury vehicles. Cebu was chosen as the hub of this smuggled vehicles considering that Gen Mendoza has rapport with the BOC and Gabby Leyson, who is a relative of the Osmenas. Mendoza commands the once travel agency called Maharajah Tours, handled by Annie Chavez, who was the runner in the securance of documents for paid US tourist visa applicants, from passports, ownership of houses and mansions, ownership of land, vehicle registered ownership, and even bribing the Census Bureau in the issuance of these land titles. The US Embassy has not been spared. A direct source of information among the employees of Mrs. Mendoza who handles the now called Rolling Stone Travel Agency, gives FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS (P50,000) to the US Consular Staff and out of 10 US tourist visa applications, only 8 is approved for one day. US Senators and Congressmen are being brief on the participation of US Consulat Staff assigned at the US Embassy in Manila regarding this.
