Ligot grilled over brother-in-law's properties
By KIMBERLY JANE TAN, GMA News
Senator Franklin Drilon on Thursday questioned former military comptroller Lt. Gen. Jacinto Ligot how his brother-in-law acquired P300 million in cash and assets from 1999 to 2004 despite being unemployed. Drilon, chairman of the Senate finance committee, asked Ligot how his brother-in-law Edgardo Yambao made so much money and bought expensive properties without having any declared mode of income. He explained that Yambao retired in 1999 and did not file an income tax return from then until 2004. During this time, he said millions were deposited to his bank account. "He is a mysterious person here," Drilon said during the day's Senate blue ribbon committee hearing on the alleged corruption in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
