Estrada hits pork barrel probe


Senator Jinggoy Estrada in his privilege speech on Wednesday criticized the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, saying he and his two other colleagues in the Senate minority are being singled out in the alleged P10 billion pork barrel scam.

Estrada noted that 371 lawmakers were mentioned in the Commission on Audit (COA) report, but claimed that not all are being scrutinized.

He also appealed to the public not to judge him and urged his colleagues not to wash their hands off the scam.

“Mensahe ko ito sa mga tao: Sa bawat pagturo niyo ng mapanghusga at mapagkutyang mga daliri, apat na daliri ang nakaturo pabalik sa inyo,” he said.
