Aquino sees conviction of 3 senators in pork scam

PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino 3rd wants nothing less than the conviction of all suspects, including lawmakers, who are involved in the P10 billion pork barrel scam case, stressing that the success of his administration’s anti-corruption efforts will hinge on having the guilty punished for their crimes.

In an interview over Radyo Bombo, Aquino said the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Office of the Ombudsman continue to work closely to make sure that the Sandiganbayan will mete out a guilty verdict against the respondents, who include Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada and Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr.
