Budget Secretary dismisses ‘pork king’ tag

Here’s another denial…and more are sure to follow.

“Department of Budget and Management Secretary Florencio Abad on Friday, April 25, denied allegations that he was among the officials in the Aquino administration who was involved in the multi-billion peso pork barrel scam,” reports Camille Diola on Philstar.com.

Abad was quoted as saying,””I’ve been called several names since I began serving in this Administration, but ‘Pork King’ is certainly the most ridiculous. It would in fact be funny if it weren’t such a blatant lie.”

Abad’s denial comes as rumors about Janet Lim Napoles’ list of cohorts reaches its fever pitch.
