A stockholder of a company being linked to Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corporation denied Friday that she is involved with the firm being questioned over the procurement of COVID-19 supplies, which are claimed to be overpriced.
Rose Nono Lin, shareholder of the Pharmally Biological Inc., faced the Senate blue ribbon committee and stressed that the firm is not a sister company of the Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corporation.
“Hindi rin po ako susi ng imbestigasyon na ito at wala po akong koneksyon sa gobyerno. Ang Pharmally Biological ay hindi po sister company ng Pharmally Pharmaceutical,” Nono Lin said.
“Wala po akong kinalaman sa pagpapatakbo o operasyon ng negosyo ng Pharmally Pharmaceutical. Wala pong pagmamay-aring shares o stock ang Pharmally Biological sa Pharmally Pharmaceutical,” she added.
During a previous Senate inquiry, Senator Risa Hontiveros said Nono Lin was an incorporator of Pharmally Biological Inc., which she said is a sister company of Pharmally Pharmaceutical.
Hontiveros also said Nono Lin was an incorporator of the Full Win or Fu De Sheng Group in the Philippines, which was allegedly chaired by Michael Yang, who is being linked in the controversial purchase as he supposedly linked Pharmally to suppliers.
Nono Lin mentioned that Yang is not the chairperson of Full Win.
“Hindi rin po totoo na si Michael Yang ay chairman ng Full Win, wala po siyang kinalaman sa kumpanyang Full Win at sa mga dokumento po. Bakit naman po kailangan akong magpaliwanag sa publiko kung kilala ko man si Michael Yang?” Lin said.
Yang, former economic adviser of President Rodrigo Duterte, is being linked to Allan Lim who was allegedly involved in illegal drugs.
Senator Richard Gordon earlier presented a document showing that Allan Lim, claimed to be also known as Wen Li Chen and Lin Wei Xiong, had been allegedly profiled as a drug personality.
Yang denied knowing Allan Lim, but he said he had known Lin Wei Xiong since 2013.
Nono Lin said her husband Lin Wei Xiong is not involved in illegal drugs.
“Mismong hepe na po ng PDEA na si Director General (Wilkins) Villanueva na isang Wen Li Chen ang may kinalaman sa droga at ang mukha po nito ay iba po sa mukha ng aking asawa at pinangalanan pa po itong Allan Lim,” she said.
Nono Lin further expressed confidence that her husband is only engaging in legitimate business transactions.
“Nasa kultura po ng mga Chinese na ang kanilang pinapasok na negosyo ay batay po ito sa trust and confidence at saka po ‘yung word of honor sa mga ka-sosyo nila na kapwa Chinese. Malaki po ang tiwala ko sa aking asawa, kay Michael Yang po ay wala naman po kaming alam na masama tungkol po sa kanya,” she said.—AOL, GMA News
