TRC chief says Lacson list doesn’t merit attention

MANILA, Philippines – The director general-on leave of the Technology Resource Center said an unsigned affidavit that has been attributed to Janet Lim-Napoles does not merit attention.

In the affidavit, a copy of which was given by former Senator Panfilo Lacson to the Senate blue ribbon committee, Dennis Cunanan allegedly received P960,000, which was delivered to him by Napoles’ nephew, John Lim, at a car showroom in Greenhills, San Juan.

But Cunanan’s lawyer Odessa Bernardo said: “I have not read that affidavit. That is an unsigned affidavit. We should not be talking about an unsigned affidavit.”

Bernardo, together with Cunanan arrived at the Department of Justice (DOJ) Thursday and met with Justice Secretary Leila De Lima. However, they refused to give details about the meeting.

At the same time, they also denied that Cunanan left the country last April.

“There is no truth that he went out of the country,” Bernardo said.

But immigration records showed that Cunanan left the country on April 5 on board Delta Airlines Flight 630. He returned to the country early morning of May 14 on board Delta Airlines Flight 629.
