THE Liberal Party (LP) is not discounting the possibility that Janet Lim Napoles will implicate its members in the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel scam once the plan to make her state witness pushes through. Senator Francis Pangilinan, President of LP, said there are efforts to destroy the party. The Court of Appeals has reversed the ruling of a Makati City court convicting Napoles of serious illegal detention. Napoles’ lawyer had said that his client is willing to talk if she will be made state witness. “The possibility that Napoles in turn will be used against me for my supposed selective prosecution of PDAF scam legislators was, I was told, implied today in an interview of Napoles’ lawyer,” she added.
