Hasty departures

Until formal charges are filed against Janet Lim-Napoles and any number of senators and representatives in connection with the pork barrel scandal, everything else remains in the realm of speculation. This, even if the links prove tantalizing and a certain logic attaches to the mysterious goings-on.
Take note of the departure for foreign shores of personalities linked to the operation: Gigi Reyes, former chief of staff of Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile, who, according to “whistle-blowers,” received and even signed for millions of pesos siphoned off the senator’s allotment; former congressman Rodolfo Plaza who allegedly allowed Napoles-created NGOs to use his pork barrel funds; Ruby Chan Tuason, the former social secretary of former President (now Manila Mayor) Joseph Estrada, who is said to have been Napoles’ conduit to the offices of Senators Enrile and Jinggoy Estrada; and Richard Cambe, purported “chief political adviser” of Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr.
Enrile, Estrada and Revilla, along with Senators Bongbong Marcos and Gringo Honasan, had been identified by whistle-blowers as colluding with Napoles and her group to defraud the government of funds meant for development projects. Many other legislators, including former and present congressional representatives, have likewise been named as complicit in the scam.
Now, for all we know, the departures of the aforementioned personalities may have been just coincidences. Maybe they all made travel plans for the same period; maybe they even used the same travel agencies. Perhaps the fact that they all had something to do with the irregular if not illegal siphoning of funds is simply an accident. Or maybe they have simply been brought out of reach (supposedly) of local authorities who may have wished to question them.
But as Justice Secretary Leila de Lima remarked when asked about Reyes’ departure: “Fleeing is the first sign of guilt.” What do all their principals have to say about the untimely travel plans?
