A RELATIVE of the alleged pork barrel scam brains Janet Lim-Napoles, who is a resident of Davao City, sought help from Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.
Duterte said Napoles's first cousin, whom he did not identify, is wife of a barangay captain in the city.
He said the woman confessed that she once received P300,000 from her cousin who is presently detained at Fort Sto. Domingo in Laguna for serious illegal detention case.
The woman said she intended to borrow P400,000 from Napoles to buy a lot, but she was instead given P300,000 right away.
"Nahadlok siya. Ana ko sa iya, nangutang ka, gihatag sa imo, wa man tay mahimo. Pero kadtong kwartaha, kwarta sa Pilipino gyud (She was afraid last night. I told her it was given to her and there's nothing we can do. But the Filipinos own that money)," Duterte said.
"It's an economic sabotage," he added.
