JOC JOC fertilizer scam and JENNY NAPOLES: MORE OF THE SAME Then as of now, the supposed beneficiaries of the agri-fund—the farmers—did not receive fertilizers and farm inputs. In the fertilizer scam, money was siphoned off to the campaign kitty of Arroyo’s allies and dubious NGOs. The scam purportedly totaled P3 billion in all, still paling in comparison to the P6.156-billion Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) found by the Commission on Audit to have been misused for the period 2007-2009 by NGOs. In the pork barrel mess, beneficiaries were fabricated, with one NGO lifting names from board passers in government licensure examinations. It involved a sharing system for all the participants in the division of the spoils. In the fertilizer scam, 25% goes to the DA; 30% to the LGUs; 20% to the supplier of farm inputs; and 25% to the runners. In the pork barrel scam, 40%-50% went to the lawmakers and the rest went to the NGO and its conspirators.
