Ombudsman Morales & P10-billion pork barrel scam

It has been more than six months now since the Department of Justice (DoJ) filed the much-awaited plunder and malversation charges with the Office of the Ombudsman. Last 16 September 2013, the DOJ charged 38 persons for the P10-billion pork barrel scam that included three senators, five former congressmen and five former chiefs of staff.

However, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales has not filed the corresponding complaints with the Sandiganbayan until today. Six months and two weeks have passed since the DOJ filed the said charges and nothing has been heard from Ombudsman Morales on the status of the historic case that includes Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, “Jinggoy” Ejercito Estrada and Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Jr.
