MECO accused of rape cover-up
Edited on Tue Feb-17-04 01:26 AM by dArKeR
SEX SCANDAL: The International Labor Association said MECO helped Elmer Fung by getting his alleged victim to accept a settlement and return to the Philippines

STAFF WRITER , WITH CNA
Tuesday, Feb 17, 2004,Page 2

The International Labor Associa-tion yesterday accused the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) in Taipei of colluding with former New Party legislator Elmer Fung (???) in reaching an out-of-court settlement between him and a Filipina housekeeper whom Fung is accused of raping during the Lunar New Year holidays.

The association also accused MECO of colluding with Fung in sending her home.

According to the association, Fung raped the 25-year-old woman, identified only as Rose, whom he had hired to take care of his mother-in-law, on the afternoon of Jan. 23.

Association chairwoman Chen Su-hsiang (???) said that after the incident, the woman turned to MECO for help, but the office put her in a temporary shelter and cut off all contact between her and the outside world.

Isn't this sweet. You've got Whore Arroyo, KMT/Pan Blue Whore Pigs, child prostituion rampant in the PI, the PI economy is a Whore of a showing before/since Marcos was overthrownand, and Bush declaring the PI the 'model for Asia to follow' on his run away from the White House when the WMD story was breaking.

How many American Media Whores are going pick up on all of these facts? Fineman and Russert belong in Guantanamo Bay!

Some analysts fear the elections could be postponed because of a lack of preparation or collapse altogether under the weight of public cynicism
