MANILA TIMES: Abad, a bad liar - BOBI TIGLAO

Such a bad liar the budget secretary is. Not only bad, but also a foolish liar. Why would he claim that there were no pork barrel releases when the website of his department has data on releases of pork-barrel funds in 2012, officially called Priority Development Assistance Funds? In fact, P1 billion of the senator's pork barrel was released in the three months before the May 29 vote that found Corona guilty, and another P800 million in the three months after. In fact three senators - Ramon Revilla, Francis Escudero, and Lito Lapid - got their pork barrel, P86, P46, and P50 million respectively - just a few days before the May 29, 2012 vote that booted Corona out.
