Some legislators have found a new way to earn commissions or kickbacks from congressional pork after a P10-billion pork barrel scam was exposed several years ago, according to Sen. Ping Lacson. “Big amounts of pork are parked in a legislative district of a well-connected congressman. The congressman said he didn’t want to be named but agreed “that the truth about the ‘parked pork’ be told,” he said. But Ramos is not the only legislator who may have been offered projects by their fellow lawmakers, Lacson said. Lacson’s latest exposé followed his recent disclosures of alleged large pork allocations for some leaders of the House of Representatives.
