Sen. Jinggoy Estrada on Thursday said he will not be surprised if businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles implicates him in the P10 billion pork barrel scam.
In an interview, Estrada said Napoles, the alleged mastermind in the P10 billion pork barrel scam, might be coached on what to say in the scandal.
"I'm not saying that she will be used. But there are chances since she is already in government custody. As I mentioned earlier, some unscrupulous elements might just put words into her mouth," he said following Napoles' surrender to President Aquino.
He refused to say who these "elements" are who would coach Napoles.
He also said he will not be surprised if Napoles links him to the scam now that she is in government custody.
"Of course. Ang mahirap dito, we politicians, they are picturing us as thieves already... Ang pine-present sa media, yung NGOs na bogus na inaakala nila na merong cut ang legislators. Ako, I can prove that," he said.
He also said other opposition lawmakers might also be linked to the scam. "That's trending right now. WelI, I hope not. I'm just hoping and praying that she would tell the truth, nothing but the truth. Because if she will tell the truth, I have nothing to hide."
Estrada refused to comment on allegations that Napoles' surrender to President Aquino Wednesday night was scripted. He said he still believes in the sincerity of the President, saying it is up to the people to decide if the surrender was scripted.
Napoles has been accused of setting up fake non-government organizations to pocket pork barrel funds from certain lawmakers, who in turn allegedly got huge cuts from the deal with the businesswoman.
A Commission on Audit report earlier showed Estrada and 2 other senators regularly gave millions of pesos in pork barrel funds to NGOs controlled by Napoles. The report showed that several NGOs linked to Napoles received P1.23 billion from Estrada, Sen. Bong Revilla and Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile from 2007 to 2009.
Estrada earlier said lawmakers have no responsibility to verify if NGOs that receive their pork barrel funds are legitimate.
He said it is the Department of Agriculture's job to check NGOs receiving pork barrel funds.
"It is not up to the senators to determine whether an NGO is bogus or not," he told reporters.
"Alangan naman na kami pa ang magsasabi na, 'Uy, bogus 'yan.' How will we know?" Estrada added that lawmakers only endorse NGOs, and that they do so in good faith.
He said he himself he himself would like to get to the bottom of the P10-billion pork barrel scam, despite being implicated in it.
He also confirmed that Napoles was his "acquaintance" after they met during parents' meetings in school. He said his daughter and Napoles' nephew were classmates.
He clarified that he never had business dealings with Napoles and did not know if the priority development assistance fund (PDAF) endorsements he signed before were actually for her.
"I wouldn't have known," he said.
'Whistle-blowers should take priority'
For his part, Senate Majority Floor Leader Alan Peter Cayetano said he would rather listen to the testimony of the other whistle-blowers first before hearing what Napoles has to say.
He said the whistle-blowers in the scam have more credibility than Napoles.
Cayetano said he sees nothing wrong with Napoles' surrender to President Aquino, saying that he does not see how this could lead to "selective testimony" from her.
He refused to criticize the alleged special treatment given Napoles during her surrender but noted that she should go to an ordinary jail and treated like an ordinary Filipino.
He said Napoles could be place in a separate cell if there are threats to her life.
The senator urged Napoles to tell all about the scam, noting that the truth is her only protection. She said Napoles should execute an affidavit about the workings of the P10 billion pork barrel scam.
"Habang siya lang ang nakaaalam ng impormasyon na alam niya, magpapatuloy ang threat sa kanyang buhay," he said.
What you were doin is a diversionary tactic, Jinggoy! Public is smart enough to understand that you pocketed peoples money!

Makes me want to puke just seeing your face, Jonggoy! Paanu ka nakakapag-legislate ng batas kung ganyan ka kashunga? Millions of people's money being spent anywhere without you knowing or checking beforehand?
DeleteAnd you even justify your ignorance with a straight face? You deserve to be impeached!!
Sarap talaga ng buhay politiko noh? Kaya pala yung daughter mo, pinatakbo mo na rin as konsehal. Really starting them young, right? The earlier, the better, para mas maraming perks and benefits.

ReplyDeletehay naku if you really have nothing to hide, you wouldnt be talking now and trying to divert the issue by using the 'opposition card' and that Pnoy will influence her testimony? Not this president. He knows the people are fed up and they are not stupid.
ReplyDeleteNobody is buying your 'paghuhugas kamay'. Ignorance is not an excuse...
Caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Mag***ak**. Si Richard Nixon, ng mahuli sa Watergate scandal, itinaas ang dalawang daliri ng dalawang kamay at sabi, "I am not a thief". PERO BUONG AMERICA HINDI NANIWALA. Na-impeached si Nixon. Ganyan sana ang mangyai sa mga magnas na ito. Ikulong.

Ignorantia juris non excusat or ignorantia legis neminem excusat (Latin for "ignorance of the law does not excuse" or "ignorance of the law excuses no one") is a legal principle holding that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law merely because he or she was unaware of its content.
ReplyDeleteActually, this is really sad. Sana nga makulong ang dapat makulong. Matagal ko na rin kilala yung daughter ni Napoles, nakakapagtaka lang, parang nag iba lifestyle nila. Kung mag party bongga talaga. Well, may katapusan din lahat...
ReplyDeleteInuunahan nya na just n case. Ganyan talaga pag guilty.
ReplyDeleteDalin Niyo lahat sa Impiyerno lahat ng perang ninak** niyo!!

ReplyDeleteHindi na tan*a mga Pinoy. Tama na Mr. Senator, maawa ka naman sa mga mahirap at nagbabayad ng taxes.
ReplyDeletedefensive agad kase guilty! mag***ak**!
ReplyDeletetalaga lang ha? U don't even verify the qualifications of the NGO? we are talking about millions and billions here but u don't even care if the NGO is qualified to receive the funding? Sa mga donor agencies and countries meron silang procedures to qualify for program funding in which all applicants have to go through to ensure that the proposed projects of the NGO are worthy of the billions and millions of funding and also to ensure that the NGO is indeed capable of implementing the projects and managing the funds kc malalaking halaga ang involved. Kahit nga donations lang kelangan pang magqualify yan pa kayang pondo ng bayan? Isip pa ng ibang palusot kc hindi pasado ang alibi mo Senator.
ReplyDeleteHay..Pilipinas bakit kasi laging special treatment ang mga politikong nagkakasala when serving their time in prison..hindi regular prison ang pina pa experience kaya naman ang lalakas gumawa uli ng corruption. Eto na naman si Napoles especial treatment uli..bwisit..dapat sa inyo isama sa mga regular na prisoners ng magdusa kayo sa pag nanakaw sa kaban ng bayan.
ReplyDeletePALUSOT story ni Jonggoy. What about the many witnesses that have surfaced implicating you Jonggoy? What about the records presented by COA that you have signed tens of millions to Napoles' fake MGO's? What about the pictures of you and Janet Napoles Jonngoy? You are disgusting Jonngoy.
ReplyDeleteFrom his reaction in one of his interviews he said "di naman trabaho ng mga senador i-validate ang mga NGO beneficiaries"! Read between the lines , it means its true they gave out funds without confirming or investigating if the NGOs' are true or bogus!!!We filipinos are not that stupid you know!!! Kaya pala dami ngkakandarapa tumakbong officials coz of that pork barrel funds not bcoz they want to serve the filipino people!
ReplyDeleteSabi nga nila, kung gusto mong yumaman, tumakbo ka sa senado .
DeleteDisgusting person from a disgusting family.
ReplyDeletebaboy baboy baboy!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBaboy, Liar, Thief, Kapal-mukha.
ReplyDeleteOo nga naman, given his family background, give him the benefit of the doubt, doubt nga ba or conviction, hehehe.
ReplyDeletekapal fez..palusot pa halata naman
ReplyDelete"It is not up to the senator to determine if the NGO is bogus ot not".
ReplyDeleteGagawa na lng kaya ako ng asarili kong NGO at hihingi ako ng mga pera sa senador at congressman at yayaman din ako ng bongang bonga. Dahil wala naman mag verify kong isang lehitimong NGO ba ito.
He is a big thief, just like the other politicians involved. Enough with his explanations. Nobody believes him anyway. All we know is that he got hundreds of millions of the people's money.
ReplyDeleteTama ka diyan! Nobody believes him!!! Ikulong na itong balasubas na senador na ito!

The filipino people never learn. Konting pa cute at konting padulas uli nitong mga senador na ito, pasok uli itong mga corrupt politicians sa kahit anong posisyon sa gobyerno. I bet all my tax money, they win again. How about running for mayor of Manila?
ReplyDeletenakalusot si Jinggoy nung una, BAKIT HINDI ngayon? Sanay na ang Pinoy sa ganyang system...Ningas kogon na naman ito. Arroyo tahimik na, Ampatuan - tahimik na rin...mamamatay na yang mga yan, hindi pa napaparusahan. At mga NINAKAW??? Ipamamana sa mga pamilya....Tingnan ninyo si Angelo Reyes, nag suicide pero walang nabawi sa nakurakut na pera ng bayan....mahairap yata kalabanin mga senatongs at mga tonggressmen - LUSOT na naman ang mga magnanakaws.
ReplyDeleteOBVIOUSLY WITH GUILTY CONSCIENCE
ReplyDeleteGrabe naman ang mga pulitiko sa tin. Huli na nga sa akto, ayaw pang umamin. Buti nakakaya un ng konsensya nila na mgsinungaling. Wala silang takot. Parang wala na silang kahihiyan. Parang sanay na sila sa ganung klase ng pamumuhay. Mayayaman sila pero kung galing naman ito sa masamang paraan, parang di rin sila magiging masaya. Di sila mgtrabaho ng patas. Parang mabuti pa ang trabaho ng magbobote at mag-uuling ba kahit tuyo at kamatis lang ang ulam, masaya naman dhil galing sa malinis na trabaho. Sana lng marunong silang mgbukas ng Bible at mgkaroon tlaga ng banal na takot sa Dios. Kakaawa na ang ating bansang Pilipinas, mayaman na sana. Pray pray na lng tau mga kababayan ko for God intervention. God bless Philippines.
