Ombudsman’s P40-M deal with Tuason stinks

When accused-turned-state witness Ruby Tuason on May 2 handed over P40 million in manager’s check to Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales, which she said was the amount in commissions she got from Janet Napoles’ pork-barrel scam, nobody raised an eyebrow.

Many seemed to believe her testimony in the hearing of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee barely three months before, that she had to sell her Dasmarinas house to raise the money.
