MANILA - The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee recommended the filing of criminal charges against businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles, and Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada and Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. in connection with the multibillion-peso pork barrel scam. In a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Chairman Teofisto "TG" Guingona III said his committee "finds merit in the evidence presented and finds sufficient basis for the filing of appropriate criminal cases with the proper court" against Napoles, the three senators and their respective chiefs of staff or representatives. The Blue Ribbon Committee has conducted 9 hearings on the pork barrel scam with the goals of determining how the anomaly was perpetrated, who should be held accountable, and what measures should be done to prevent public funds from being misappropriated in the future. Guingona said they have dissected the scheme of Napoles and several government officials to steal the people's money through the lawmakers' Priority Development Assistance Funds (PDAF). He said the first step is the creation of Napoles and her employees of bogus non-government organizations (NGOs), where the PDAF will be coursed through. Second is the negotiation between Napoles and the lawmakers regarding pork kickbacks. Third is the implementation of the scheme, and fourth is the splitting of the loot. He said the lawmakers receive 50 percent of the pork barrel, their chiefs of staff get 5 percent, Napoles gets 35 percent, the implementing agencies get 10 percent, while the supposed beneficiaries of the projects get nothing. Criminal raps Guingona said it is now up to the Office of the Ombudsman if it will file only one, some or all of his committees' recommended charges against the following people.
