Two municipal agriculturists from La Union and Davao Oriental on Thursday testified that their areas did not receive the agricultural packages and livelihood projects identified in the 15 graft charges filed against former senator Juan Ponce Enrile and his former chief-of-staff Gigi Reyes over the alleged misuse of Enrile’s discretionary fund or pork barrel.

Solamo, who was Agricultural Center Chief 1 during the period covered in the graft raps in 2009, was firm that the list of supposed beneficiaries presented by state prosecutors to her and attached to her judicial affidavit was bogus. Solamo also responded in the affirmative when Rempillo asked if she concludes that the subject individuals did not receive the agricultural packages and livelihood projects since they did not mention such an incident to her, as stated in Solamo’s judicial affidavit.
