Dr. Perla Legaspi, former director of the UP Center for Local and Regional Governance and former vice chancellor of UP Diliman, also questioned the timing of Orduna's expose, especially now that the 2013 mid-term elections are fast approaching. "Bakit kasi ngayon lang siya lumabas?

INQUIRER: Atty. Ferdie Topacio said. "All this guilt by association and baseless finger-pointing and blame-laying has to stop," he added. Topacio dared Orduña to present evidence against Arroyo "instead of wasting time and energy making up fantasies."

INQUIRER: Atty. Fedie Topacio said: "It is regrettable that once again, without any proof other than the say-so of certain individuals ... the name of former FG Jose Miguel Arroyo is being linked to illicit activities." He said Orduña's claim that Arroyo had benefited from jueteng payoffs "is not only utterly lacking in factual bases, but is malicious and downright criminal." "It besmirches the name of Arroyo, whose name has been endlessly maligned but whose involvement in any illegal activity has yet to be proven in any proceedings in his entire life." Topacio said.
