MANILA, Philippines—Detained businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles appeals to the Manila Regional Trial Court to let her use her foreign currency bank accounts, saying she needs the money for her surgery and medication.

The foreign currency accounts of Napoles are among the bank accounts included in the provisional asset preservation order (PAPO) issued by the  Manila RTC Branch 22. The lower court issued the order after the government sought the forfeiture of assets not only of Napoles but her family and several others implicated in the alleged “pork barrel” scam.
