Miriam: May asim pa rin si Tanda
MANILA -- Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago warned businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles that she could end up dead if she continues to refuse to tell everything she knows about the multi-billion pork barrel scam. During the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing on Thursday, Santiago said Napoles should reveal who among the lawmakers tagged in the scandal is the most guilty. She said she believes Napoles, who is accused of setting up fake non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as conduits of lawmakers' Priority Development Assistance Funds (PDAF), is not the most guilty in the case. "Kung ayaw mong aminin na ikaw ang most guilty, dapat lang sabihin mo ngayon pa lang kung sino ang most guilty para hindi niya ilipat sa iyo yung pagka-most guilty niya. Kasi yung taong yun nakikinig sa atin eh. Hindi nagpapakita, yan ang style niya, pero nakikinig yan at napakaraming pera niyan... At maraming gustong patayin ka," Santiago said. "Kaya tuturuan na kita bilang isang abogado na sabihin mo na ang gusto mong sabihin para hindi ka na ipapatay," she continued. The senator warned Napoles that lawmakers in the pork barrel scam are already "planning your murder." But if she spills the beans now, Santiago told Napoles they will no longer have a motive to kill her. Santiago also advised Napoles not to underestimate Senator Juan Ponce Enrile, whom she referred to as "Tanda." Enrile is one of the three senators facing plunder charges before the Office of the Ombudsman in connection to the pork barrel scam. "May asim pa rin si Tanda," she said. Napoles, for her part, said she does not know who among the lawmakers is the most guilty. ANC, November 7, 2013
