COA denies singling out Jinggoy, JPE, Bong

MANILA - Commission on Audit chairperson Grace Pulido Tan insists she did not single out Senators Jinggoy Estrada, Juan Ponce Enrile and Bong Revilla in the pork barrel scam investigations. Tan told ANC the COA report on pork barrel allocations from 2007-2009 would prove this. "The mere fact alone that they acknowledged that our report contains hundreds of names of legislators and 82 NGOs, already proved that we have not been selective," she said. "It's such a waste of time for me to be addressing this point over and over. The mere fact alone that they acknowledged that our report contains hundreds of names of legislators and 82 NGOs, already proved that we have not been selective... It's such a waste of time for me to be addressing this point over and over." Estrada earlier accused the COA, the justice department and the Ombudsman of being selective in going after lawmakers implicated in the pork barrel scam. Estrada also accused the media of selective reporting on the multibillion-peso scandal. ANC DATELINE PHILIPPINES, JUNE 12, 2014
