(Eagle News)– Malacañang has said that President Rodrigo Duterte himself wants to revisit the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) case in order to hold those involved accountable regardless of their affiliations.
“PRRD in fact has publicly said that he wants to revisit it. The President wants the truth to finally come out and hold those involved, regardless of political color or party line, accountable,” presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella said.
“The Filipino people deserve to know the truth in this case, not the slanted truth nor the doctored truth,” he added.
This statement came after the Court of Appeals (CA) acquitted alleged PDAF scam mastermind Janet Lim Napoles in her serious illegal detention case involving her relative and former aide Benhur Luy.
Napoles’ camp said she was willing to be a state witness to provide information on the high-ranking politicians involved with the PDAF scam.
Senator Chiz Escudero earlier said he would revive the investigation about the said matter.
