Lu ha" been 0seeking attention” an" sen"ing signals to Baligo" a number of times that he felt ignore", but the law er apparentl pai" no attention. A source pri! to "e!elopments in the witnesses2 camp sai" Lu an" Baligo" trie" to patch things up, at least once, but it "i" not work. 0The alrea" ha" a one3on-one meeting to "iscuss each other’s issues but apparentl the were not able to arri!e at a compromise,” the source sai".

Lu repeats this e>planation at a Senate Blue $ibbon committee hearing. Baligo" onl atten"e" at least twice in the man times Lu an" other witnesses were summone" b the court. In one instance, Baligo" reporte"l left the court after being there for onl 6? minutes. A reporter co!ering the procee"ings con:rme" she saw Baligo" onl “once or twice1 in court. Baligo" woul" also miss se!eral appearances in the Senate blue ribbon committee hearings on the pork barrel scam. But what apparentl broke the camel*s back was when Baligo" faile" to accompan Lu when he appeare" before a Supreme =ourt in!estigation into the allegations raise" against San"iganba an Senior 7ustice +regor @ng. #$EAD' %>clusi!e' Napoles parties with anti-graft court Austice) The .= has tappe" retire" 7ustice Angelina San"o!al3+utierre8 to look into the allegations raise" b Lu "uring one Senate hearing – that @ng was a regular :>ture in parties where Napoles was also present. @ng is a member of the Bth &i!ision that trie" the P3.C million De!lar helmet case where Napoles was among the accuse".

The also reporte"l argue" o!er the phone o!er an issue in!ol!ing "isclosures. The source woul" not re!eal "etails of what le" to the argument, citing law er3client con:"entialit . $appler trie" to call Baligo" se!eral times but he has not returne" calls. Legal strategy Luy also complained that he was being kept in the dark by Baligod about legal strategies in building up the pork barrel case. One particular instance involved Technology Resource Center chief Dennis Cunanan (officially on leave), who was initially tagged by Luy as among those who benefitted from the pork barrel scam. Cunanan however denied that he pocketed rebates from Napoles. Baligod has tapped Cunanan to help pin Senator Ramon “Bong" Revilla Jr in the pork barrel scam. Cunanan is now a “provisional state witness., A source from the whistleblower.s camp said Luy is concerned that his and Cunanan.s testimony will not jibe as far as his culpability in the scam is concerned. *0e.re saying he accepted bribes. He is saying he did not. How do we reconcile this conflicting claim?” the source said. Luy is also reportedly uncomfortable about Baligod being Cunanan.s counsel. In an earlier phone interview& Baligod confirmed that he is counsel for Cunanan, stressing that he had known Cunanan even before the pork barrel scandal broke out. “In fact, only after I got confirmation from Cunanan that the pork barrel of the lawmakers was misused that I found the resolve to pursue the case,, Baligod said in that interview. Thankful @n Mon"a afternoon, March ,, Lu procee"e" to the National Bureau of In!estigation to formall inform authorities that he was se!ering ties with Baligo", his counsel in the pork barrel case an" in the illegal "etention case he :le" against former emplo er an" cousin 7anet Lim Napoles. @n Tues"a , 7ustice Secretar Leila "e Lima con:rme" that Lu ha" se!ere" his ties with Baligo", on the groun" that Baligo" lacke" the time to atten" to Lu 2s legal nee"s. “It has been a rough an" rugge" roa" for us, an" for all ou ha!e "one, I am eternall thankful. -owe!er, I ha!e notice" that ou are !er bus with our other a"!ocacies an" that is wh I ha!e "eci"e" to pursue this Aourne e!en without E ouF gui"ing me,” a portion of Lu *s letter to Baligo" sai". The witnesses who want to drop Baligod are also citing "lack of time" on his part to attend to their legal needs. In several instances, Luy complained that Baligod “lacked time for us,, and these would reach Baligod. When Super Typhoon Haiyan struck, Baligod could not be reached by the whistleblowers, who found out later that the lawyer went to Baybay& Leyte, to help out in his fiancée's relief operations. 7 Rappler.com 8 88 .+ 0 0 03/11/14--05:27: Legal Ethics. - December 2013 Philippine Supreme Court Decisions on Legal and Judicial Ethics | LEXOTERICA: A PHILIPPINE BLAWG See - December 2013 Philippine Supreme Court Decisions on Legal and Judicial Ethics | LEXOTERICA: A PHILIPPINE BLAWG "x x x.

Karlo Alexei Nograles (1st District, and programs, and major accomplishments of the Davao City), listened to the presentations on the proposed FY 2019 following government offices: budget, plans and programs, and major accomplishments of the CSC, CHR, the Judiciary, and DOST. Civil Service Commission (CSC) Committee Vice Chair, Rep. Raul del Mar (1st District, Cebu City), sat as the presiding officer during the CSC’s budget briefing. CSC Chair Alicia dela Rosa-Bala said that under the FY 2019 National Expenditure Program (NEP), the CSC is set to receive a budget of P1.65 billion, which is 4.97% higher than its current budget of P1.57 billion. By expense class, CSC’s 2019 proposed budget will be distributed as follows: personnel services (PS), P1.26 billion; maintenance and other operating expenses (MOOE), P317.27 million; capital outlay (CO), P78.05 million; and financial expenses (Finex), P9,000. Several Members of the Committee support the call of the CSC to restore its FY 2019 budget to its original proposal of P2.24 billion. Bala explained that the slashed budget of the CSC will affect the following programs: creation of new positions in the CSC field offices; upgrading of CSC field offices; and reactivation of the CSC Academy. In response to the query of Reps. Carlos Isagani Zarate (Party-List, BAYAN MUNA) and Mark Aeron Sambar (Party-List, PBA), Bala clarified that Joint Circular No.1 series of 2017 issued by the CSC, Commission on Audit (COA) and Department of Budget and Management (DBM), pertaining to the rules and regulations governing contract of service (CS) and job order (JO) workers in the government, does not prevent government agencies from engaging the services of CS and JO workers after December 31, 2018.
