MANILA, Philippines (2nd UPDATE) – Alleged pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim Napoles added the names of 9 more senators in her list of officials who supposedly got kickbacks in the pork barrel scam. 

In one of the two Napoles affidavits submitted to the Senate on Monday, May 26, the alleged mastermind included more names of senators who got commissions in the scam:

  1. Former Senator Rodolfo Biazon
  2. Former Senator Loi Estrada
  3. Former Senator Robert Jaworksi
  4. Former Senator Ramon Magsaysay
  5. Senator Lito Lapid
  6. Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr
  7. Former Senator Tessie Aquino Oreta
  8. Former Senator Aquilino Pimentel Jr
  9. Senator Cynthia Villar

These names were in addition to the initial list she submitted to Justice Secretary Leila de Lima. De Lima gave the Senate a copy of the list on May 15.

In the affidavit signed, notarized and dated, Napoles made a list of officials she transacted with and enumerated their alleged agents. She classified them according to the following categories: Senators, Senators (Campaign Funds Only), Congressmen, and Agencies.

The alleged mastermind named a total of 20 senators, 100 congressmen, and 10 officials of implementing agencies. This affidavit was written in Filipino, and typewritten. (READ: Napoles details ‘transactions’ with 20 senators)

Before listing them down, Napoles wrote, “Sa abot ng aking naaalala, sa kasalukuyan kong kalagayan dito sa Ospital ng Makati, ang mga sumusunod na mga senador, kongresista, at kanilang mga agents at ang mga opisyales  o kawani ng mga implementing agencies (sic) ng pamahalaan na nagkaroon ng kaugnayan sa akin at tumanggap ng bahagi ng mga pork barrel:”

(As far as my memory permits in my current condition here at the Ospital ng Makati, the following senators, congressman, and their agents, and officials or employees of implementing agencies of government had a connection with me and received their portion of the pork barrel:)

Senators:

  1. Biazon, Rodolfo
  2. Barbers, Robert
  3. Enrile, Juan Ponce
  4. Estrada, Jinggoy
  5. Estrada, Loi
  6. Honasan, Gringo
  7. Jaworksi, Robert
  8. Lapid, Lito
  9. Legarda, Loren
  10. Magsaysay, Ramon
  11. Marcos, Ferdinand Jr
  12. Oreta, Tessie Aquino
  13. Pimentel, Aquilino (sic)
  14. Pimentel, Koko
  15. Revilla, Ramon Jr
  16. Sotto, Vicente (sic)
  17. Villar, Cynthia
  18. Villar, Manny

Senators (Campaign Funds Only):

            Villar, Manny

19. Cayetano, Allan Peter (sic)

20. Escudero, Francis Chiz

(See the full list below) 

The list excluded Senator JV Ejercito, who Napoles named in her original list. Her lawyer later admitted there was an encoding mistake and Napoles asked that Ejercito’s name be taken off the list. 

In the succeeding pages, Napoles detailed her specific transactions with the persons she included in her list.

In her introduction, Napoles said she was the victim and not the mastermind.

Ako ay naging biktima ng isang maling sistema ng ating lipunan na akala ko noon ay normal at tama at naayon sa batas, dahil ito ay naging kalakaran na sa mahabang panahon,” Napoles wrote. (I became a victim of a wrong system in society because I thought before this was normal and legal because it became the practice for a long time.)

Napoles faces plunder charges for allegedly conniving with top lawmakers and executive officials to funnel pork barrel funds to her fake non-governmental organizations. Her lawyer confirmed she is applying for state witness. 

‘In spirit of transparency’

Senate blue ribbon committee chairman Teofisto “TG” Guingona III decided to release the Napoles affidavits, after Justice Secretary Leila de Lima submitted these to his office. A staff of Guingona picked up the affidavits from the justice department.

“In the spirit of transparency, to search for truth and in line with my commitment to uphold the public interest, we are going to release to the media and to the public and to my fellow senators of course, the copies of these two Napoles affidavits,” Guingona told reporters.

Guingona refused to comment on the contents of the affidavit, saying he has yet to read these.

He said the next step for the committee is to wait for the digital files of principal whistleblower Benhur Luy.

The Senate will likely call Napoles and Luy in future hearings.

“There’s going to be a hearing. If you have a hearing, who will you call? There’s an affidavit. You call the person who issued the affidavit. There are Benhur files we didn’t know existed before. Now that we can get the files. Once we get the files, we will read it then we ask the person who read those files to testify,” Guingona said.
