Sen Francis Escudero and Sen Francis Pangilinan also cautioned Arroyo

From Manila Bulletin

Senate minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. warned the Arroyo government about the plan to auction the expensive jewelry of former First Lady Imelda Marcos which he said should be left to the next administration to avoid suspicion.

Senator Francis Escudero and Sen Francis Pangilinan also cautioned the Arroyo government about the plan to dispose of those Imelda jewels which were seized by the Philippine government from the Marcoses when they fled the country in 1986 following a People Power revolution.

The Arroyo government should restrain itself, out of propriety and courtesy, from entering into midnight deals. Further, let prospective bidders or buyers be forewarned that these transactions may be nullified and declared illegal later, Escudero said.
