Villar blames govt, P720-million fertilizer fund scam
for problem
|

Senate President Manuel Villar Jr. blamed Malacañang

properly in 2004.
Villar on Monday told a press conference that

country the ill effects of Malacañang’s lack of cooperation with
the Senate in the investigation of an alleged scam that caused
dissipation of the P720-million fund.
