Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla. INQUIRER FILE PHOTO
MANILA, Philippines – Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. denied in a privilege speech at the Senate on Monday any involvement in the P10-billion “pork barrel” scam.
“For the record Mister President, I have nothing to do with this scam. I have no dealings and transactions with Napoles and the whistle-blowers,” Revilla said before a jampacked gallery of the Senate.
He also showed a PowerPoint presentation to show that his signatures had been forged.
“I did not confirm anything,” Revilla said, apparently referring to news reports that he had confirmed his signatures in some documents pertaining to the release of his “pork barrel” funds.
No less than the witnesses themselves, he said, who pointed to the principal whistle-blower, Benhur Luy, as an expert in forging signatures.
“Sa makatuwid, eto palang si Benhur Luy ay si ‘Boy Pirma,’” Revilla added.
