No VIP treatment for Napoles, Roxas says
  • 5 years ago
Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas on Saturday reiterated that businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles is not being given special treatment. But he admitted that Napoles is considered a high-profile detainee because of the information she may have against those tagged in the alleged P10 billion pork barrel scam. "Pano naman kung mawala itong kaalaman na ito? Gusto ba nating mawala ito dahil nasalisihan tayo, naunahan tayo?" "Hindi ito VIP treatment, pero kinikilala natin na hindi siya pangkaraniwang akusado... I think mauunawaan din ng ating mga kababayan na yung preservation ng kanyang buhay ay hindi dahil VIP siya pero dahil gusto natin na humarap siya sa buong proseso ng ating batas," Roxas said.
