The Quezon City Police District denied the allegation of the wife of former National Democratic Front of the Philippines consultant Vicente Ladlad that police confiscated her husband’s automated teller machine (ATM) card when he was arrested last week. “We would like to reiterate that the Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card of Communist Party of the Philippines Central Committee Member and Head of its National United Front Commission, Vicente Ladlad, was not among the confiscated items during the implementation of a Search Warrant for violation of Republic Act 10591, or the Comprehensive Law on Firearms and Ammunition last November 8, 2018 in Novaliches, Quezon City,” said Quezon City Police Director Chief Superintendent Joselito T. Esquivel in a statement on Monday. Last week, Mr. Ladlad’s wife Fides Lim posted in her Facebook page that the police should investigate the attempts to steal from her husband’s bank account. “While the arrest operation for Imelda Marcos following her graft conviction and for the killers of human rights lawyer Benjamin Ramos and the Sagay 9 deserves utmost priority, I request the concerned authorities to immediately investigate the repeated attempts to STEAL the deposit in my husband Vic Ladlad’s LANDBANK Visa Debit Card, which comprises part of his human rights compensation as a political prisoner during the corrupt, brutal Marcos regime where Imelda reigned as queenpin,” said Ms. Lim in her Facebook post last Friday, Nov. 9. — Vince Angelo C.
