INQUIRER: DBM released P140-M pork for ex-solon via 'caretaker'
- Budget Sec Florencio Abad Jr. defended the release of Ecleo's two years worth of PDAF, noting that this was facilitated through Akbayan Rep. Kaka  Bag-ao. Two representatives, one from a party-list group and one from Mindanao who both declined to be named form the LP, said the release of pork barrels funds to Dinagat was POLITICALLY tainted. They noted the Bag-ao, an administration ally who was one of the House prosecutors in the impeachment trial of former CJ Renato Corona, had FILED her candidacy for the Dinagat congressional seat in the May midterm elections.
