There were names recorded in the "red", "green" books of Janet Napoles, the alleged brains of the P10-billion scam that shook the Philippines last August. The names included those of senators and congressmen who signed documents giving authority to fake NGOs run by Napoles to withdraw money from the Priority Development Assistance Fund. The lawmakers like Revilla were given "kickbacks" for giving access to their PDAFs.
These are some of the prominent lawmakers listed in the books: former Senate President Senator Juan Ponce Enrile, Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, Sen. Ramon Revilla, Sen. Gregorio Honasan, Sen. Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. and Sen. Vicente Sotto. Enrile came out with a press conference denying his his participation in the ransacking the national treasury. Who will believe him?
The system is so rotten, we should commit harakiri, said Sen. Miriam Santiago, adding that Congress should be abolished.
If they will not kill themselves, will the senators involved in the scam resign?
