PORK SCAM PROOF SHOULD BE BOTH STRONG AND AUTHENTIC!

As the Aquino Government and the lawyer of the whistleblowers in the pork barrel scam continue to boast of a strong case, here’s hoping that the evidence is as STRONG as they claim to be.

STRONG AND AUTHENTIC enough to warrant a conviction of those who should be jailed for this multi-billion criminal enterprise.

First: The evidence should be INDISPUTABLE PROOF that the accused senators and congressmen POCKETTED their supposed commissions from the scam or had GAINED PERSONALLY from it, as required under the law.

I sincerely hope that the supposed boxes of evidence contain documentary or physical proof that the supposed commissions of the senators and congressmen had indeed come from Napoles and their pork barrel funds.

That they were able to buy properties or assets and valuables out of these supposed commissions.

And that the evidence has been proven BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT as genuine by concerned government agencies, professionals and individuals.

For the simple reason that strong as they appear to be, the evidence would be WORTHLESS if these turn out to be FAKE, Instead of conviction, the evidence would lead to ACQUITTAL.

I raise this concern because if you’ll recall, guys, then Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano claimed several years ago to have seven or so boxes of proof of hidden accounts of then First Gentleman Mike Arroyo in a German bank.

But eventually, no less than the bank issued a statement categorically saying that Arroyo does not have any account with them.

I also find it both amazing and surprising how boxes of evidence of the pork barrel scam were accumulated despite the issue’s daily coverage by media.

I just forgot who but somebody claimed to media that Napoles had ordered the SHREDDIING of documents before the scam was blown wide open in media.

And it’s common sense to assume that any person, government agency or private entity who figured they would be linked to the scam would have also destroyed possible proof they were keeping.

I repeat, I am for convictions of those responsible for the scam.

What I’m against is a MONUMENTAL WASTE of government time and resources on what could still be a massive publicity gimmick. 30
