Reports hint Abad was Napoles’ ‘pork’ mentor

IF reports were true that detained businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles dipped into Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) funds, then it would mean that Napoles’ claim that Budget Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad was her “mentor” may have some basis, according to former senator Joker Arroyo.

In a radio interview aired over dzBB, Arroyo on Sunday said such conclusion draws strength from recent reports in which pork barrel scam whistleblower Benhur Luy said Napoles was also a recipient of DAP funds.
