QUEZON CITY, Philippines — There are complaints against more than 200 congressmen involved in the PDAF scam still pending in the Office of the Ombudsman.
Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales says they aim to finish the investigation on all congressmen involved.
To be exact, there are 240 present and former congressmen who will possibly face graft charges if the Ombudsman will find probable cause in their investigation.
All of the said complaints are related to the Napoles PDAF cases.
Meanwhile, Morales refused to comment on President Rodrigo Duterte’s plan to revisit Janet Napoles PDAF cases
“I don’t know what he means revisiting the Napoles case. We don’t know,. To us, that’s vague. So, no comment,” she said. “We are not worried because what we did was what we think is in accordance with the law”
Ombudsman Morales also refutes allegations that they filtered out Aquino-allies from PDAF scam investigations.
Morales says they decide which case will be investigated first based on the amount involved in the complaint.
“We decide which case should first be investigated. We do it in accordance with the amount. The higher the amount, the priority is to investigate this big amounts involved in the PDAF,” Morales explained.
Morales also refused to comment on the suggestion of the Commission on Human Rights that the Office of the Ombudsman should help investigate public officials involved in illegall drugs. — Mon Jocson | UNTV News & Rescue
