Napoles has direct access to PNoy, says Lozada

MANILA - Why did businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles surrender to President Aquino? And why did President Aquino meet with her and not the other whistle-blowers in the P10 billion pork barrel scam?

These and more are just some of the questions raised by the surender of Napoles, alleged mastermind in the pork scam, on Wednesday night.

In an interview, NBN-ZTE whistle-blower Jun Lozada said he is angered by the treatment given to Napoles especially after she was identified as the mastermind in the alleged P10 billion pork barrel scam. 

"It made me angry because this administration has not even met or the President or Secretary has not even met with the whistle-blowers but chose to meet with the principal accused. This tells you the priorities of this government," he told ANC.

"Can you imagine being driven by the President to Camp Crame at sa Tagalog nga e ipagbibilin pa sa Chief PNP at DILG Secretary. This tells you the relationship that Napoles has with the Office of the President warrant this presidential escort to Camp Crame," he added.

Lozada said he has never seen a President escort a wanted person to custody. He said the closest example is when then Secretary Ramon Magsaysay picked up the body of Moises Padilla in Negros.

"The only time I can think of is Ramon Magsaysay picking up the body of Moises Padilla in Negros but that is picking up a victim of injustice but here the principal factor or beneficiary of injustice to the Filipino people is being escorted by the President to Camp Crame," he said.

"The President has to be prudent with the company he keeps. Now it opens up the question - was there a deal made?" he added.

Lozada questioned reports that Napoles was previously represented by the law firm of Executive Secretary Jojo Ochoa and how Napoles kept denying her ties with Ochoa during her interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

He said a consultant to the Office of the Executive Secretary was fired after it was learned that he had links to Napoles and had arranged the Inquirer interview.

"Janet Napoles herself wrote directly to the President and his office received (the letter) on the same day that she wrote it. It is becoming more and more obvious that Janet Napoles has direct access to the Office of the President," he said.
