The newspapers yesterday and the day before were full of stories on the surrender of Janet Lim-Napoles, who is accused of embezzling some P10 billion in the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), after two weeks in hiding as a fugitive. Mrs. Napoles surrendered to President Benigno S. Aguino 3rd late Wednesday evening in Malacañang Palace for fear of her life, saying she trusted only the President.
