“On Monday, Jan 20, Senator Bong Revilla addressed his alleged involvement in the multi-billion peso pork barrel scam in a privilege speech,” reports ANC. He declared, “Utang ko sa 16 milyon na bumoto sakin noong 2004 at halos 20 milyon na bumoto sakin nung 2010 na marinig ang aking sagot (I owe it to the 16 million people who voted for me in 2004 and the 20 million people who voted for me in 2010).”

According to the report, “Revilla went on to question the integrity of the whistleblowers who claimed that he was involved in the pork barrel scam.” Then, through a PowerPoint presentation, he presented a specimen of his signature and compared it to the signatures on the documents which Benhur Luy had alleged were used in the dubious transactions.
Revilla then referred to Luy as “Boy Pirma,” pointing out that Luy had admitted to being an expert at forging signatures in the past.
Revilla went on to castigate the government for taking Luy’s side. The report revealed that Revilla “also mocked the allegations that there was a ‘truckload’ of evidence against him by bringing in a toy truck which was loaded with a stack of documents.”
