MANILA - Four new whistleblowers in the pork barrel scam have asked to be included in the justice department's witness protection program. They are former employees of Janet Lim Napoles who became officials of bogus non-government organizations that reportedly received millions of pesos from the pork barrel of lawmakers. The whistleblowers claim Napoles has ties with Sandiganbayan Justice Gregory Ong who had exonerated Napoles and her husband in a case of irregular purchase and ghost deliveries of 500 kevlar helmets worth P3.8 million for the Philippine Marines.
