Here’s what Sen. Jinggoy Estrada should do next following his
privilege speech in the Senate investigation into the pork barrel scam:
First and foremost, on the supposed letter from then Senate
Finance Committee Chairman Franklin Drilon informing those who had voted for
the conviction of former Chief Justice Renato Corona of an additional
P50-million fund:
Estrada should distribute copies of the supposed letter from
Drilon to media, the Internet and even personal friends.
Estrada should reveal the details and circumstances behind
the supposed letter – when was it given, where, what time, by whom and how. He
should narrate what happened next when he rejected the P50 million.
For example, did Drilon say anything and does he know who
were his colleagues who accepted the P50 million.,
If he can, Estrada should ask for a Senate probe of where the
money came from,
He should also dare those who accepted the P50 million to
explain where did the money go to and to come out with documentary proof that
it had been spent LEGALLY or LEGITIMATELY.
As expected, Drilon and Budget Sec. Butch Abad have denied
bribing the senators who convicted Corona
with the P50 million. So the question is WHY was the money (Malacanang mouthpieces
can call it whatever they like) GIVEN ONLY TO THOSE WHO CONVICTED CORONA ?
Estrada said the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee did not investigate
P1.2-billion in questionable transactions of some local government units funded
by Senators Alan Peter Cayetano and Miriam Defensor-Santiago and former
Senators Francis Pangilinan and Manny Villar from their pork barrel.
Estrada should identify these local government units and cite
details of these transactions.
He
should also FORMALLY ask committee chair Sen. Teofisto Guingona to explain why
the P1.2-billion questionable transactions were not, or has not been probed, by
the panel.
Lastly,
Estrada should pound on Commission on Audit chair Grace Tan to COME OUT IN
MEDIA with PARTIAL OR FULL audit reports on the pork barrel funds since PNoy
became president.
Reports which
will include pork barrel disbursements by ALLIES OF PNOY.
For the
simple reason that PNoy’s allies are NOT EXEMPTED from graft corruption. 30
