Forces target De
Lima to derail pork scam case, says group
 |
| Justice Secretary Leila De Lima |
MANILA,
Philippines—An anti-corruption group on Monday said Justice Secretary Leila De Lima who is set to face the
powerful Commission on Appointments is the target of forces wanting to muddle
the pork barrel scam controversy.
A statement
submitted by the Reborn Filipinos for Reform
Philippines Movement (RFRPM) to the CA said “powerful forces are putting vast resources to
sabotage the prosecution of those involved the multi-billion peso pork barrel
scam.”
“It is well known
that several attempts to muddle and misdirect the issues by certain
personalities involved in the PDAF scam have been made in the past since
the expose’ but has not deterred the feisty Secretary from her pursuit of
the truth and justice for the aggrieved Filipinos,” the group’s lead convenor Leon Estrella Peralta said.
RFRPM an affiliate
of the Anti-Trapo Movement (ATM) said “[stories]
being churned out in the media are primarily designed to alienate and embarrass
the person of the Secretary and her family whose marriage is known to be legally
annulled, with the primary intent of derailing and misdirecting the issues
concerning the Pork Barrel Scam and the persons involved in it.”
The group added that
a 12-page affidavit filed before the CA opposing De Lima’s confirmation “raises
more questions as to its real motive and intent, considering it has been four
years that Secretary De Lima has held the position in the Department of Justice
and these allegations have never been put out in public.”
“Such attempts, all
known to be dirty tricks employed by hired spin doctors in the political arena
to cover the real issue of the still prevailing “Systemic Corruption” in
government and using this vehicle as an opportunity to drag and discredit the
President to pave the way for an undemocratic regime change whether
through legal means or by way of force,” the group added.
