Roxas denied the allegation, citing figures. “Sabi nila, selective. Kitang-kita na out of 85 na sinuspinde ng Ombudsman, 25 or so are members of the Liberal Party. Kung titingnan natin ang mga conviction ng Sandigan, may mga members of the Liberal Party who have been convicted. Kung titingnan natin ang mga kaso filed by the Ombudsman, members of the Liberal Party rin ang kasama diyan.”(They say its selective but it’s clear that out of 85 officials suspended by the Ombudsman, 25 or so are members of the Liberal Party. If you look at convictions made by the Sandiganbayan, there are members of the Liberal Party who are convicted. If you look at the cases filed by the Ombudsman, members of the Liberal Party are also there.)Recently, the Ombudsman said it would file charges against the second batch of individuals allegedly involved in the pork barrel scam, including former Customs chief Rozzano Rufino Biazon, a Liberal Party ally.
