Bangladesh’s Ambassador to the Philippines John Gomes met with Philippines’ Finance Secretary Carlos G Dominguez III recently. The DOJ has already filed a petition seeking a nod from the Manila Regional Trial Court to forfeit the $15m in favour of Bangladesh. “Under the Rules of Civil Procedure, the Manila RTC gave the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) 15 days to comment on the petition. “After filing their [OSG] comment, we will now wait for the judgment of the court for the $15m,” Paras added. Maybe there is another $17m, but we’re going to continue seeking that and hopefully recovering that on your behalf,” Dominguez told Gomes.
