  • 5 years ago
MANILA - A meeting between pork scam whistle-blower Benhur Luy and Ruby Tuason turned out to very friendly, Luy's lawyer said in an interview. Lawyer Levito Baligod described Tuason as a "very credible" witness who intends to return at least P40 million worth of kickbacks. Baligod said Benhur Luy was present when he met Tuason. He added that his client and Tuason knew each other. "When she was conversing with Benhur Luy, and I was trying to observe their behavior toward each other, talagang nakikita mong matagal na silang nagkakilala. Sinasabi ni Benhur ay dinudugtungan niya. Mrs. Tuason was even telling us earlier na 'Di ba Benhur, iyung last time na pumunta ka sa bahay ko sa Dasmarinas was on this day.' So ganun po yung conversation nila kanina," he said. Baligod said Tuason confirmed the statements of the whistleblowers. "She admitted that she in fact served as agent of some legislators, in fact received the kickback of the legislators and she in fact delivered their share personally." ANC HEADSTART, February 11, 2014
