This is a contender for this week’s dose of the surreal.
“According to Benhur Luy, before moving on to senators, alleged pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim Napoles first offered her services to members of the House of Representatives after getting an introduction from actor Mat Ranillo,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
The report cited Luy’s lawyer, Atty. Levito Baligod, who said Luy claimed that Ranillo supposedly introduced Napoles to members of the House of Representatives. The report explained that “Napoles would then offer hefty kickbacks to the congressmen for every pork barrel-funded project that the lawmakers would funnel to her foundations.”
As Luy said, “Ranillo and Napoles had a falling-out since the businesswoman no longer needed the actor after he made the introductions.”
In any case, the report also noted that “Ranillo was also linked to the scam by Ruby Tuason, former social secretary of former president Joseph Estrada and the alleged conduit of pork barrel kickbacks for Senators Jinggoy Estrada and Juan Ponce Enrile.”
We wonder what Ranillo has to say about this.
