Napoles at the Senate hearing wearing bulletproof vest
Repost from Rappler
The hearing at the Senate proceeded despite the request of JLN to postpone her appearance at the Senate because her defense counsel Atty Lorna Kapunan resigned (Is it because one of the alleged recipient of the PDAF commission was surnamed Kapunan too)
Many of the "facts" mentioned by Ben Hur Luy and other whistle blowers yesterday, November 8, 2013, were loose and could not specifically pin down link the solons he/they mentioned to the receipt of the money/commission. The mentioning of the names without solid evidence (all they have are testimonials) like documents available : cash or check vouchers, memos, agreements, written orders. It could even be held defamatory.
Only Jane Napoles, holds the key to linking the alleged recipients, the solons to the crime. Without her confirmation, nothing will prosper. Without her turning witness, her joining forces with the whistle blowers, we could only dismiss this as another "palabas" distraction. As of now, only the NGO and Napoles will hold the brunt of the case. The alleged commissioners will go scot free. But then again, we need the truckload of evidence. To prove who indeed was lying. Where are they?
Perhaps Sen Santiago is aware of the exact nature of the case that is why she was very kind to JLN and profuse in her kindness and love for the latter to turn state witness
The hearing yesterday was spectacular " She is lying your honor" So it is just one testimony against another. We need physical evidence. That would be more fun. More fun, fund, indeed in the Philippines.
Sen Santiago steals show at Napoles hearing
