An anti-crime group filed on Monday an ethics complaint against
all the senators in connection with the cash gifts and additional Senate
funds given to them.
The complaint of the
Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) came days after Senate
President Juan Ponce Enrile confirmed that he gave additional funds for operating expenses amounting to P1.6 million to selected senators last December.
He said this was the second tranche of the remaining balance of the
Senate funds. The first tranche of P600,000 was given to all 23 senators
in November.
Enrile likewise gave a cash gift of P250,000 to all the senators. — Kimberly Jane Tan/RSJ, GMA News
