Lawmaker blasts inclusion in pork scam list

MANILA - Aurora Rep. Bellaflor Angara-Castillo on Tuesday rejected reports that her priority development assistance funds (PDAF) were used in the multibillion-peso pork barrel scam. In a radio DZMM report, Castillo said she did not allocate her 2003 PDAF to buy equipment for the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC). She said all reports linking her to the scam should have been double-checked with the Department of Budget and Management. RADIO DZMM, MAY 20, 2014
