  • 5 years ago
MANILA - The lawyer of businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles on Tuesday said her client has denied giving campaign funds for the presidential campaign of Benigno Aquino III in 2010 and the senatorial bid of Aquino's cousin, Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino, this year. "I asked her and she said no," she said in the interview on ANC's Headstart. She said she does not know if Napoles funded the campaigns of other senatorial candidates. Kapunan also revealed that her client denied having any links to Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. despite asking Brian Raymund Yamsuan, a consultant of the Executive Secretary, for help in reaching out to the Philippine Daily Inquirer. She said Napoles apologized to Ochoa and President Aquino during her surrender to the President last Wednesday. "One of the things that happened during our audience with the President is- she apologized to Secretary Ochoa personally in fact to the President and said I do not know you," she said.
