More documents covering pork barrel transactions were included in deleted files of principal scam whistleblower Benhur Luy, according to a list of these computer files submitted to the Senate.
Over 50 deleted files — including project proposals, endorsement letters and disbursement records — mentioned the name of Senate Minority Leader Juan Ponce Enrile.
Senators Ramon Bong Revilla Jr. and Jinggoy Estrada were also mentioned in Luy’s deleted files.
Code names believed to refer to senators such as “Dahon,” “Bigote,” “Sexy,” “Bonget,” “Pogi” and “Tanda” also appeared in these computer files.
Among members of the House of Representatives, the surname of former Masbate representative Rizalina Seachon Lanete was mentioned the most, appearing in over 40 file names.
The full names of Representatives Abdullah Dimaporo (Lanao del Norte) and Rufus Rodriguez (Cagayan de Oro) also appeared in Luy’s deleted files.
Other surnames that appear in these deleted records include: Sotto, Legarda, Marcos, Amatong, Flores, Montejo, Fuentebella, Ungab, Pangandaman, Abante, Lagdameo, Chiongbian, Pingoy, Dangwa, Estrella, Real, Sandoval, Serapio, and Valdez.
The National Bureau of Investigation earlier turned over a CD containing Luy’s digital files to the Senate blue ribbon committee, including those that had been earlier deleted but retrieved.
Copies of Luy’s files were distributed to the media on Thursday morning. The files can only be accessed with a password and could not be directly copied to another computer. — JDS, GMA News
