Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile confirmed that he refused to give 4 senators additional funds under the Senate’s Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses or MOOE before the Christmas break. The 4 Senators are Miriam Defensor Santiago, Alan Peter Cayetano, Pia Cayetano and Antonio Trillanes IV – either his vocal critics or members of the Senate minority. The Senate President was responding to a Philippine Daily Inquirer report that came out Wednesday which said he gave 18 senators P1.6 million each as a cash gift billed as “additional MOOE” but he approved only P250,000 each to the 4 senators mentioned. Enrile insisted that he exercised “prudence and equity” in handling Senate funds but stood by his decision not to give more money to his 4 critics.
