An investigative team of the Office of the Ombudsman has named Senate Minority Leader Juan Ponce Enrile as the mastermind of the alleged P10-billion pork barrel scamâ€"not businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles, according to official documents obtained by Inquirer.

“Clearly, no matter how layered the scheme may have been perpetrated or unrelated the players may appear, all facts point to Senator Enrile as the unseen hand directing the compass and the tempo of the whole orchestra,” according to a memorandum prepared by Assistant Ombudsman Joselito P. Fangon.

The eight-page report submitted on Nov. 11 to Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales said Enrile’s former aides Jessica Lucila “Gigi” Gonzales-Reyes and Jose Antonio Evangelista had a close association with Napoles, who was named by her former employees as the brains behind the scheme that allegedly turned allocations under the congressional Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) into kickbacks.

A separate memorandum also recommended the filing of criminal and administrative charges against Senators Jinggoy Estrada and Bong Revilla.

The Fangon memo likewise recommended the filing of plunder charges against Reyes, Evangelista, Alan Javellana, Rhodora Mendoza, Victor Cacal, Maria Ninez Guanizo, Encarnita Cristina Munsod, Ma. Julie Asor Johnson, Gondelina Amata, Chita Chua Jalandoni, Emmanuel Sevidal, Ofelia Ordonez, Filipina Rodriguez, Sofia Daing Cruz, Antonio Ortiz, Dennis Cunanan, Maria Rosalinda Lacsamana, Consuelo Lilian Reyes Espiritu, Francisco Figura, Allen Baysa, Marivic Jover and officials of six nongovernment organizations (NGOs) controlled by Napoles.

“There exists sufficient evidence to warrant the filing of criminal and administrative charges against all individuals involved in the release, utilization and disbursement,” the memorandum said, citing statements of former Napoles employees led by Benhur Luy and documents from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the Commission on Audit (COA).

the downside of staying too long.  even great stage performers know when to make a final curtain call with great dignity.  he missed his chance.

indeed. i mean, he was a big shot during marcos's years. now , many years after his cousin has been dead and cold, still he is in politics. pag retire na lang diha nong. gi samoksamokan na lang kami nimo.

i for one would like to see new blood in politics. not those who are part of the established oligarchy over there yonder in manila. sadly votes can be purchased. it is unfortunate that many of our countrymen have short term memory.

Samtang naa pay mapuga gikan sa kaha sa kagamhanan, hala bira pa si Manong...

once a crocodile, always a crocodile diay. ay. ka uwaw lang ba. it just disgusts me to hear this man discuss philosophy and political correctness when all the while people in bohol, leyte, samar, negros and iloilo are suffering from these disasters. for f***'s sake, as if these guys have no shame at all.

guilty man jud ni sila. murag wa gi dutlan ba.
