The short answer: Maybe.
“Former Senator Ramon Revilla Sr may just find himself in the center of the National Bureau of Investigation’s (NBI) probe into the alleged siphoning of lawmakers’ Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) to so-called Napoles non-government organizations (NGOs),” reports ABS-CBN News correspondent Ina Reformina on ABS-CBNnews.com.
The report revealed that Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Leila De Lima is set to meet with primary whistleblower Benhur Luy, Napoles’ former aide, and his lawyer, Atty. Levito Baligod, to find out if they are in possession of evidence against Revilla Sr.
For now De Lima stated, “Pag-aaralan muna namin yan. Depende kung may sworn statement tungkol dyan. I know that Benhur Luy or his counsel already said something about that, na maski noong time ni former Sen. Ramon Revilla, Sr., he was also dealing with Napoles or Napoles NGOs.”
In English: We’ll study that further. It depends if there’s a sworn statement about that. I know that Benhur Luy or his counsel already said something about that, that even during the time of former Sen. Ramon Revilla, Sr., he was also dealing with Napoles or Napoles NGOs.”
For the record, the younger Revilla, Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Jr., is one of the respondents charged by the NBI and “pork barrel” scam whistleblowers before the office of the Ombudsman. He’s accused of pocketing as muuch as PHP224.51 million as kickbacks from Janet Lim Napoles.
