MANILA, Philippines - The Supreme Court on Tuesday, September 10, stopped the release of the lawmakers' Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), or pork barrel, which is at the center of a scandal now being investigated by the Senate and the National Bureau of Investigation.
After an en banc meeting Tuesday, the High Tribunal issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) on the release of the remaining PDAF in the 2013 national budget and the Malampaya Funds, particulary those that the law allows the President to use.
Signed by all the justices, the TRO was based on at least 3 petitions filed against President Benigno Aquino III, Senate President Franklin Drilon and Executive Secretary Paquito Ocha Jr by various groups and inviduals.
One petition was filed by Greco Belgica; another by Samson Alcantara of the group Social Justice Society; and another by Pedrito Nepomuceno.
Oral arguments have been scheduled on October 8.
The multi-billion pork scandal, running for 3 months now, has linked Janet Lim Napoles to various lawmakers. She is accused of siphoning off PDAF through dubious NGOs with the consent of lawmakers or their chiefs of staff. - Rappler.com

pero diba dapat wala naman pdaf ang mga nasa legislative? kasi gagawa lang sila ng batas. o kung kelangan nila ng budget, di naman ganun dapat kalaki.
tingin ko dapat nasa LGUs ang pork o pdaf eh
