Statement of Sen. Cynthia Villar on Napoles list

It is unfortunate that my name was included in the so-called list of senators and congressmen who allegedly transacted with Napoles' bogus NGOs. As I have said in the past, I do not know Janet Lim-Napoles and I did not have any transaction with her or her NGOs.

This political persecution masquerading as a search for truth is reminiscent of what we experienced during the 2010 presidential elections. My husband, Manny Villar, and I endured malicious allegations that up to now remain unproven. It pains me to see that some quarters resort to dirty tactics to pursue political ends.

I urge the people to be more discerning of these attempts to misinform and besmirch a good person's reputation. As a senator, I am committed to deliver the promises I made to the Filipino people and to provide livelihood and help lift our poor people from poverty.
