MANILA, Philippines – Senators Loren Legarda and Ferdinand Marcos Jr. have been dragged into the probe of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) against a businesswoman who reportedly defrauded the government of billions of pesos by establishing ghost projects allegedly funded by pork barrel. The names of Legarda and Marcos appeared in the affidavit of Merlina Pablo Sunas – one of the six supposed whistle-blowers in the scam that implicated Janet Lim Napoles of JLN Group of Companies – submitted to the NBI. Sunas, Napoles’ trusted employee of 12 years whom she appointed president of the allegedly bogus non-government organization People’s Organization for Progress and Development Foundation Inc. (POPDFI), claimed that a certain “Ma’am Maya” served as JLN’s “coordinator for Senators Legarda and Marcos.”
