CITY OF SAN FERNANDO—Realtor Delfin Lee, president of Globe Asiatique Realty Holdings Corp., is still detained at the Pampanga provincial jail here, almost a month after the Supreme Court (SC) downgraded his syndicated estafa case to simple estafa for a P7-billion housing scam that state auditors uncovered in 2010. The SC order allowed Lee to file bail. Rivera said Reyes had suspended all proceedings in the case against Lee until the second week of September. The DOJ has not yet amended the information because it also has not received an official copy of the order from the high court, Rivera said. The provincial warden, Edwin Mangaliman, on Wednesday confirmed that Lee was still at the Pampanga jail.
