According to new COA audit: 3 senators gave P38M to fake NGO last year

THREE senators released P38 million of their Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) to a questionable non-governmental organization (NGO) last year, according to the Commission on Audit (COA).

A COA report said Jose “Jinggoy” Ejercito Estrada, Juan Ponce Enrile, and Loren Legarda channeled part of their “pork” to the People’s Organization for Progress and Development Foundation, Inc. through a town in Bataan province. The money was supposedly used to purchase agricultural products but the documentary requirements it submitted for liquidation were not sufficient.
