Yesterday Big Mike Arroyo showed to the media a Certification from a German bank that he had no acount with that bank. In effect he is saying that Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano is lying and he hinted that he will file a case (probably libel) against the gentleman from Taguig. Big Mike then bragged that "siya ang nagsasabi ng katotohanan at hindi si Cong. Cayutano." Thats what he said.
Question:There are still other ways to obtain a certification from a bank to one’s favor. Say for instance that the bank account is in someone else’s name, say, one John Michael, but a Joseph Michael goes to the bank instead and asks it if any account in that account number is in the name of Joseph Michael. Naturally, the bank, if asked for a certification, may issue one stating that there is no such bank account in the name of Joseph Michael, but the bank will not state either that there is one account in the name of John Michael. Or, like the Jose Pidal case, by the time the bankers testified, the account was already closed, thus, it was safe for the bank to state that no such account exists, even it there was one in existence then.
Lately a discrepancy in the number of the bank account has been noted.
Mike Arroyo's number: account number 87-570-23030-32100-
62771571
Cayetano's referred account number: 87-570-23030-32100-
6271-571
Look closely. Mike Arroyo's account had an extra number.
