MANILA \u2013 Whistleblower Ruby Tuason testified before the Sandiganbayan on Friday, stating that Senator Juan Ponce Enrile could have received more commissions from alleged pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles than what was stated in the Ombudsman\u2019s complaint.<\/p>\n

Continuing her testimony against Napoles\u2019 petition to post bail, Tuason told the Sandiganbayan Third Division: \u2018It could have been more, your honor,\u2019 referring to the purported kickbacks that she delivered from Napoles to Enrile.<\/p>\n

Tuason came up with the suspicion since some of primary whistleblower Benhur Luy\u2019s records were missing. She was referring to Luy\u2019s external hard drive which contained the daily records of Napoles\u2019 transactions with several senators who supposedly funded her bogus foundations and nongovernment organizations\u2019 (NGO) projects and programs using their Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) allocations. The Supreme Court has already declared the PDAF unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

The hard drive was then used together with the sworn affidavits of other whistleblowers as evidences for the Ombudsman to file complaints against Senators Enrile, Jinggoy Estrada and Bong Revilla before the Sandiganbayan.<\/p>\n

It can be recalled that Luy earlier admitted that his records lacked details of some transactions.<\/p>\n

Tuason, for her part, disclosed that she never knew the exact amount of the commissions as she never counted the money she delivered. She also admitted that she never directly handed them over to Enrile but to his former chief of staff Gigi Reyes.<\/p>\n

They [Napoles\u2019 employees] were counting it in front of me using a machine\u2026 Kapag naka-plastic na. Hindi ko na pinapabilang. Madami kasi masyado,\u201d Tuason said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes we meet in restaurants over lunch, sometimes she (Reyes) picks it (kickbacks) up in my house,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
