Janet Lim-Napoles, currently detained at the Ospital ng Makati, is now singing a different tune. In two affidavits, signed on May 12, 2014, Napoles named over 100 lawmakers who allegedly received kickbacks in exchange for disbursing their PDAF funds to bogus NGOs. Napoles added that she was made out to be a scapegoat for these very same lawmakers. “I am the victim of a wrong system in society that I thought was normal and legal because this became the practice for a long time.” She added that she could not have been the mastermind because she just followed the requests of the senators and congressmen. Napoles also asked the Ombudsman to grant her immunity and put her under the Witness Protection Program. Senators and other lawmakers have mostly denied Napoles’ claims.
