It could get emotional if Senate probes

Investigating their colleagues in the Senate on the pork barrel scam could lead to emotional

hearings that might bog down legislative work, Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano on Friday warned, in

reaction to an earlier suggestion by Sen. Francis Escudero.

The Senate majority leader and chair of the committee on rules instead suggested a public

and televised investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) or the Ombudsman into the

multibillion-peso pork barrel scam.

Escudero the other day reiterated the need for the Senate to investigate the alleged funneling

of billions of pesos in Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) to questionable

nongovernment organizations (NGOs), especially since senators have been linked to the

controversy.

A Senate probe would dispel the notion that the Senate was an old boys club that would

shield i ts members from any investigation of wrongdoing, he added.

Cayetano said that while a Senate or House investigation was always productive because it is

open and transparent, it might be problematic since were dealing with our own members.

What if we run out of time [while conducting the investigation] and senators and

congressmen fight among themselves? We might not (be able to) pass any piece of legislation,

he added.

Cayetano said that some senators might also miss certain hearings so they could attend the

(hearing) on the pork barrel scam because they were implicated.

Televised hearings

Theres a solution, which is to allow the hearings to be televised, Cayetano said, adding that it

had been done in the case of the Luneta hostage-taking incident in 2010.

It can be done without the Senate and the House (getting involved) but just the DOJ and (the)

Ombudsman forming a panel that will investigate and allow full and complete media access

Internet, print and broadcast, Cayetano said.

Malacaang said it was eyeing more stringent measures in processing requests for funding by

lawmakers to eliminate corruption involving the pork barrel funds.

Tighter screening

Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said Malacaang and the Department of

Agriculture (DA) are putting in place a tighter screening process for accrediting and

monitoring the implementing agencies and NGOs being used as conduits for pork barrel.

Valte made the disclosure even as she admitted at a news briefing that President Aquino

himself was against the abolition of the pork barrel.

I think thats what I got from my conversation with the President. We had already mentioned

this previously, that in theory, the intention of the PDAF is good. Thats what we also wantfor

the theory to become a reality, she said.

Valte did not disclose the specific stringent measures but said that while the (PDAF) is coursed

through these (conduits), it is really the legislator who identifies the request that is being

processed.

Cayetano indicated that there has yet to be a consensus on whether the Senate wil l investigate

the pork barrel scam or not.

So far there are only individual statements, he said.

Less than satisfactory

Cayetano said he would personally push for the Senate to investigate the matter if the probe

by the National Bureau of Investigation turned out to be less than satisfactory.

The NBI would have to finish i ts probe soon and endorse its findings to the Ombudsman, the

Senate majority floor leader said , adding that unlike the Ombudsman, the NBI has no power togive immunity to a potential witness.

My personal issue here is that some of (those implicated) have a big influence on the DOJ

and the NBI because the Senate will handle their budget, Cayetano said, referring to the

budget hearings that the Senate committee on finance will conduct on the allocations of

government agencies for 2014.

The Inquirer i-Teams series on billions of PDAF being funneled into Janet Lim-Napoles

questionable NGOs, had initially mentioned opposition senators Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile, Sen.

Jinggoy Estrada, Sen. Gregorio Honasan, Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr., and Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr.

as being involved in the scam.

Subsequent reports on alleged PDAF misuse later mentioned Senators Vicente Sotto III and Lito

Lapid.

Budget hearings

Cayetano also indicated that lawmakers could give the DOJ or the NBI a hard time during the

budget hearings.

NBI Director Nonnatus Rojas did not respond to text messages from the Inquirer to comment

on Senator Cayetanos proposal.

As for Escuderos Senate Resolution No. 40 calling for a Senate investigation on the PDAF

controversy, Cayetano said it was up to Sen. Teofisto Guingona III to decide what to do with it.

Guingona had indicated that he would respond to the issues on the PDAF scam on Monday.

Escudero had defended his resolution in a weekly news forum at the Senate: It is not our

objective to investigate each other My objective was to clean the institution, to show that

were not an old boys club, that were not silent when it comes to issues like these that

confront any of our colleagues.

He added: This is also an opportunity for any witness to identify who are involved so that not

all would be implicated, (and) the institution will be spared.

Lost chance

Escudero called for a vote on the resolution so that the views of each one will be seen and

known.

But it will be a lost chance for the Senate if it votes against the probe on the pork scam, he

added.

It has not been my style to throw a tantrum but I will be greatly disappointed at the lostchance for each member to explain and be given explanations as regards this issue, Escudero

said.

DAs probe of pork

Valte said that aside from taking more stringent s teps in processing requests for PDAF,

Agriculture Secretary (Proceso Alcala) has put together a fact-finding investigation to see what

these allegations are (and) to put together documents relative to this. And well know the

resultshe told usby next week.

The Palace official said the fact-finding investigation ordered by Alcala would not only look into

the possible culpabili ty of Ophelia Agawin, an assistant secretary for finance in the DA, and

reported gatekeeper of NGOs sanctioned to accept state money for livelihood projects for the

last two years.

Conduit for fake NGOs

Agawins name cropped up after pork scam whistle-blower Merlina P. Suas tagged her as the

conduit for a web of fake NGOs controlled by Napoles, the alleged brains of a syndicate

systematically channeling PDAF into ghost projects through bogus NGOs.

Alcala said that he was just waiting for Agawins explanation. He denied endorsing

questionable projects, but added that the programs of accredited NGOs were being

revalidated in light of the whistle-blowers claims.

But while Alcala has vowed to look into the projects in connection with the fake NGOs and the

PDAF, Valte admitted that he had not indicated what he intended to do with Agawin.

Asked whether Malacaang had demanded an explanation from Alcala on why Agawin had

been promoted assistant secretary under his leadership, Valte said: No, it wasnt mentioned

because when we spoke to Secretary Procy (Alcala) earlier (yesterday), he told us, were doing

something about it. We have acted on it. So (since it) is our inclination not to preempt the

results of any investigation or inquiry, we will defer comment on these allegations until such

time that the secretary has come out with the results of their investigation, said Valte.

On calls for the abolition of the PDAF, Valte said the President was not inclined to support its

deletion in the General Appropriations Act.

The proposed P2.268-trillion national budget for 2014 contains P27 billion for PDAF.

Macro concerns

When I had the occasion to speak to the President about it, what he said was, You know the

job of the national government is to look at the macro concerns. The local (officials) are in

charge of micro concerns. And who are those in a position to correctly ascertain what are the

essential (needs) of the community? said Valte.

The President, she added, recounted to her how, as a congressman, he had concentrated on

certain projects because these were not given attention by the national government.

So, what he said was, Technically, the job of a legislator is to bring to the attention of the

national government the (local) concerns that are not given attention (at) the national level,

Valte said. With reports from Michael Lim Ubac and Nancy C. Carvajal

GREED sometimes can make a person an IDIOT!

Bingbong Recto

what a bunch of clowns

mekeni62

In a recent news in connection to this ongoing PDAF scandal, Valte said that they cannot

compel the BIR to examine these lawmakers' SALNs since BIR is part of the Executive

which is co-equal with Congress. This government is really taking us for a ride!! Why is it

then that during Corona's impeachment trial Henares even sat on the witness stand

scrutinizing his SALN when the Judiciary was co-equal with the Executive. Why would

Congress then be any different? Well, majority of the members are palace allies.......

Need I say more?

Paking

Simple! Dissolve the congress and senate. Evidences show that the people in these

chambers are ALL crooks and incompetent. They are only good at corruption and the

cause of our inability to progress. Investigations, hearings and media coverage are big

waste of time and money since these have been done in the past without anyone going to

ail. it deceives the people by showing that these crooks are doing something about a

problem but at the end of the day, nothing happens. Stop this, dissolve the congress and

senate which is the home of corruption and incompetence.

JLFS

We can have a compromise, there won't be an investigation by the senate of the scam

but they will hold office at the Spratlys.That way there won't be many mediamen to report

their shenanigans, and they will be our first line of defense if China invades.

MG

Whaaaat? Cant believe this came from Cayetano. Who cares about the emotion of the

guilty ones. We too have emotions and want to get to the bottom of this mther of all

scams. Screw their emotions. Daang matuwid di ba.

THOSE W HO STEAL THE MONEY OF THE PEOPLE. THEY ARE CRIMINALS HIDING

IN POLITICAL IMMUNITY WITHIN THE WALLS OF CONGRESS AND SENATE.

tama lang dyan sa senado gawin ang imbestigasyon, kapag hindi senador ang

iniimbistigahan nyo, binabastos nyo, ipinakukulong nyo,ngayon, kayo kayo na lang ang

maglabasan ng baho at manonood kami. gusto ko unang magtanong si trillanes kay

inggoy yung style na parang walang bakas ng kasalan, tapos si jinggoy kay trillanes na

If these honourable politicians do not heed the demand of the people to abolish the corrupt

pork barrel system, Filipinos should throng the streets ala-EDSA 1 and 2. We had kicked

out a brutal dictator and a plundering actor-politician by people power. PDAF shouldn't be

that difficult.

I saw an interview of janet, jimmy and two of their children, jo-christine and his younger

brother. The interview was conducted by Korina Sanchez. I was amazed how Korina

played on the set and in a very sublime manner, projected the Napoles family as a victim.

et me exp a n.

Korina is married to Mar Roxas. Mar is from Iloilo and he has a cousin, Johnny Roxas.

Johnny stands 62, fair, brown hair and brown eyes. Johnny is a good looking male and a

mestizo. Johnny used to work at JLN Corp. and he used his connections through Mar

when he was still Mr. Palengke. Johnny earned significant amount of money by closing

deals and getting the SARO of some congressmen and mayors and governors with the

help of Mar. But Johnny had a fallout with Janet when some some cash commissions

were not equally divided to him. He was also hoping to have a Mercedes Benz as a

incentive from one of his successful transactions from a congressman based in Samar,

bur Janet failed to deliver the car to him. Johnny soon left the company upset.

Nevertheless, Johnny left JLN with few million pesos richer, and Mar Roxas a few million

above 10M richer. Johnny Roxas became visible again in the political arena when he

oined the campaign camp of Fernando Poe Jr. He was always visible on TV appearances

and newspaper photos sitting or standing beside or behind Poe. With this said, Mar

Roxas has ties with Napoles and that explains the interview with Korina that appears to be

biased with the Napoles. And you now know the reason why.

dorky mitos

why?

Caa Critics Everyone wants to know the identities of the congressmen and senators and cabinet

members and judges that have business relations with JLN Corp.

Simple.

There are numerous security cameras installed in Janets office and the recording

machine is located in her room. You will see all the people that comes in and out of their

office including ALL the politicians in HD viewing.

If by any chance they have deleted it, the people of the philippines can ask Discovery

Suites CCTV footage of their hotel entrance at the back of their building. Or the CCTV at

the Serendipity Lounge. It is also interesting to check the CCTV footage of Landbank

Ortigas and see how many times the employees of JLN come in and out in a day for the

last five years. Or probably all CCTV at the banks in Greenhills (alongortigas avenue) because most probably, JLN Corp have accounts on them.

We might as well try CCTV footage at Starbucks and Dome Cafe at Podium. I am sure as

hell that they will find videos there for the past 3 or more years.

But people, we better act fast because once they read this blog, those videos are good as

gone.

What I would like also to read from you was the JNL connection including the

transactions if any linking, Enrile, Jinggoy, Bongbong Marcos, Bong Revilla, Tito

Sotto and Rene Velarde to the JNL 10 Billion Mother of all Scam in the Senate andCongress. For me they are the most important personalities involved because

these people has the capacity to destabilize the country with their loot, influences

and crooks at their command aside from the fact that they want the next Philippine

President (God forbid) to come from their group like Binay who's also considered

a very corrupt person/official himself. I have already read about Honasan in your

earlier post that's why his name was no longer included in this request. Thank you.

Janet Lim Napoles has strong ties before with the late Emilia Boncodin, DBM Secretary.

Emilia is the one that kept Janet in the loop whenever a budget or SARO is approved and

to which senator or congressman.

Gringo Honasan is a dear friend of Janets husband, Jimmy Napoles. I was surprised

when I read somewhere online when Honasan was interviewed and he said that he

doesnt know the Napoles family.

During the coup in Corys time, Jimmy Napoles was driving a tank on the way to Camp

Crame when hes tank was hit by a mortar. Jimmy was operating the .50 caliber machine

gun and the soldier driving the tank died during the blast. Jimmy survived and was jailed

along with Honasan. If you can get clear photos of Jimmy Napoles online, you will see that

part of his face and his arms show burn marks.

Their wealth started to build up during the late 90s when they engaged themselves with

mayors based in Zamboanga to use them as a front for a Foundation that will implement

projects or deliver farm materials. With connections at COA, they were able to arrange

completed projects without delivering anything. They established JLN Group of

Com anies sometime in 2000 and the moved to their new office from AFPOVAI to

desi derata

You and I are angry at Janet. Yes, that is true. But consider this, Janet is only a facilitator.

The beneficiaries of everything she stole goes back to the senators, congressmen,

mayors, etc. JLN Corporation is only ONE company that we are aware of. There areMANY companies and foundations out there that members of the congress and senators

operate. You think that Enrile has no foundation similar to Janet? Hell no, he got dozens.

And also Estrada, etc.

Caa Critics....just one question. Do you have anything or proof to back all these

court of law, it may not hold without proof or witnesses. Though we're talking

Well, in reality, the judges will be on their payroll as well. What I am saying

here did not come from me. Google Janet Napoles Theft Of A Nation then

go straight to the comments section. Here's another:

"I can tell you that there are two metal safes inside JLN Corp.s office at

2502 Discovery Suites in ortigas. One safe is inside Jimmy Napoles office

and the other one is in Janets office. Their office also have a small storage

room where all previous invoices and receipts that were never use during

the past few years are being kept. If you, the reader can magically teleport

yourself in that room, you will definitely find all the answers to your

questions."

"There is also a 5-drawer filing cabinet (metal and beige in color) in front of

Janets office door where all files of each congressman, senators, mayors,

governors, secretaries, undersecretaries, are nicely filed and named. Each

folder contains copies of cheques, cash vouchers, petty cash vouchers,

receipts of cash advances and bank account details for each transaction."

to our government lawyers, please secure a search warrant and

safeguard the place, so that the suspects cannot destroy all pieces

of evidence.

The Napoles has been moving their money the past few weeks so most of their money

are not in the country anymore. The people need to ask the female manager at Metrobank

Binondo, shes related to Janet Napoles brother, Ronald Bullet Francisco Lim. Bullet is

also one of the incorporators of Janets countless foundations.

The people of the Philippines should also ask the manager at Landbank Greenhills.

Maglanque holds a post before at DOTC, and the Napoles made a lot of money by

providing countless transactions through DOTC using numerous congressmen and

senators between 2002 2011. Zenaida Ducut, previous congresswoman in one of the

provinces in Pampangga made a killing through Janets company. They also have strong

ties with the Ampatuans in the south and yes, they also benefited from Janets company.

Previous PNP chiefs during the Arroyo administration also used JLN Corporation as the

foundation to supply communication radios initially valued at

Php5,000 only to be listed in the receipt given to COA valued at Php65,000 each.

Lets stop and reflect, if the local media publishes these facts, do you think that the

current government CAN do something? NO. even if Noynoy wants to punish Janet and

even if hes the president of the country, he can only do as much because our constitution

Our legislators should legislate laws and not meddle with the affairs of the local

government. We already have governors, mayors, etc. which are tasked to undertake that

work.

The PDAF used as a carrot to make legislators follow its initiative is not effective in the

long-run. It adds more greed and corrupts the legislative branch, instead let them do their

work within their pay like any other civil servant. Initially, they'll resists the change,

especially those who hasn't recoup their investment; however, it is for the best of our

country by discouraging those who are in for a quick buck and encouraging those true civil

servants to enter public service.

have enough laws. The government will not shut down if no new law (except the budget)

is passed over the next year. As everyone knows, we do not have a problem with laws,

we have a problem with implementation. It is high time that the Senate and congress

spend more time to see if all the laws they have passed are being implemented and are

effective. Rather than spending on pork barrel and pet legislation, the legislators should

focus all their efforts on investigations into the effectiveness of the thousands of laws they

have already passed.

Just like in a well run company, the Board must look at the company performance and

enforce drastic changes when necessary otherwise the company sinks. They can't just

sit in the boardroom making policy (making laws). A good board must look at the

effectiveness of the corporate direction. In the past 10 years, it has become clear that bad

governance and corruption have been responsible for the the greatest destruction of

capital of all time. We have seen how the largest companies in the world like Enron,

Arthur Andersen, AIG and the worlds largest banks with hundreds of thousands of

employees have brought themselves to ruin and in the process destroyed so many lives

and careers. All because of greed and lack of governance.
