LP raises doubts on Napoles "hitlist"

House leaders from the ruling Liberal Party (LP) have raised doubts on the supposed affidavit of Janet Napoles that tags Secretary Florencio Abad of the Department of Budget and Management as one of the architects of the P10 billion Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) scam.

Reps. Niel Tupas, Jr. of. Iloilo, Reynaldo Umali of Oriental Mindoro, Ben Evardone of Eastern Samar and Edgar Erice of Caloocan City vouched for Abad a day after a supposed Napoles affidavit linked Abad to the PDAF mess among other administration Senators such as Franklin Drilon, Alan Peter Cayetano, Francis Escudero, among others.
