The alleged misuse of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) is undeniably one of the biggest corruption issues on the history of the Philippine political arena. Also called as the Pork Barrel scam, the court proceedings took several years and many famous personalities were named in the issue.
One of the popular personalities whose name was dragged in the PDAF scam was Senator Bong Revilla. During the court proceedings, he was detained at the Philippine National Police Custodial Center.
Revilla was detained for four (4) years while serving as a Senator of the Philippines. His former Chief of Staff, Lawyer Richard Cambe, was also dragged in the issue for accusations of amassing millions of the PDAF fund.
In 2018, the Sandiganbayan gave its ruling on the accusations against Revilla, Cambe, and businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles. The businesswoman was accused as the mastermind of the Pork Barrel scam.
