Malacañang prepared for ‘burn the house down’ scenario

MALACAñANG on Monday said it is ready to defend itself from any “burn the house down scenario” being cooked up by personalities involved in the pork barrel scandal, adding Cabinet officials who are being linked to the scam still deserve to be treated fairly.

“That goes into the theory that, you know, everybody is trying to burn the house down. The Palace stands [ready to] defend itself. We in the Palace have committed ourselves to daang matuwid [straight path],” said its spokesman Edwin Lacierda.
