Aquino, Abad not yet off the hook – SC justice

President Benigno Aquino 3rd and Budget Secretary Florencio Abad are not yet off the hook for their transgressions in connection with big-ticket projects funded under the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP), which was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court (SC).

Associate Justice Arturo Brion gave this clarification in his separate opinion in light of the High Court’s decision that sealed the fate of the outlawed disbursement scheme.
