Powerful people behind pork scam case: Jinggoy

Senator Jinggoy Estrada believes "powerful people" in the Aquino administration are behind the filing of plunder and graft charges against him and two other opposition senators. "Maybe I just can surmise some powerful people [in the administration] are behind this," said Estrada, adding that this could be related to the upcoming 2016 presidential elections. He claimed they are being targeted since he is perceived to run for vice president and Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. for president while Senator Juan Ponce Enrile is a stalwart of the opposition. Estrada said even Vice President Jejomar Binay, who will also run for the presidency in 2016, is now being targeted by political rivals. ANC Beyond Politics, June 18, 2014
