The Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) on Monday, January 20, filed a complaint before the Ombudsman against President Benigno Aquino III and 12 others for funneling P125 million of the Malampaya fund to non-existent projects in 2011. Also included in the complaint are Budget Secretary Florencio Abad, Agrarian Reform Secretary Virgilio de los Reyes, Janet Lim Napoles and Benhur Luy. KMP claims that P100 million went to supposed non-existent organic farming projects of two agriculture NGOs. But the projects were never implemented, according to KMP. The group is blaming President Aquino for the fund disbursement despite knowing that it was being allocated to non-energy related projects, in violation of the law.
