Probe on LP’s P3-B fund raising at BOC

AN opposition lawmaker has called for a senate investigation on the ruling party’s alleged P3-billion fund raising operation at the Bureau of Customs (BOC) for the Liberal Party’s 2016 kitty.

Detained Senator Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada on Tuesday filed a resolution directing the Senate Committee on Accountability of Public Officers and Investigations (Blue Ribbon) to look into the allegation that the BOC is being pressured by groups identified with the administration party to raise a P3 billion campaign kitty for the 2016 elections.
