“Senator Bong Revilla wants a lifestyle check for all, including President Benigno Aquino III, Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas, and Budget Secretary Butch Abad,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
Revilla made his stance known in a statement that he released in response to the challenge of on-leave Technology Resource Center (TRC) Director General Dennis Cunanan that he undergo a lifestyle check. Cunanan is the latest whistleblower in the pork barrel fund scam controversy.
Revilla said, “For the sake of transparency and accountability, kung talagang kailangan pang mag-conduct ng mga lifestyle check outside of the SALNs and the Ombudsman, dapat tignan din sina Pangulong Aquino, Secretary Butch Abad, Secretary Mar Roxas, at ang buong Gabinete (they should also include President Aquino, Secretary Butch Abad, Secretary Mar Roxas, and the entire Cabinet). There are estimates that almost two trillion pesos in [Disbursement Acceleration Program] and Malampaya funds that have yet to be accounted for.”
Revilla then reiterated that he himself has nothing to hide. “My life is an open book,” he declared.
