The said congressman is a member of Liberal Party but planning to shift party soon, the report added. The source elaborated that the 11 million pesos was released by political party to fund leftist groups who organized the protest rally. The congressman however did not divulge his name during the telecon interview.

The congressman professedly said, "I was tasked to organize at least 500 people from Metro Manila but I told them I cannot because I had a series of appointments and my office was already fully booked. I did not tell them (party leaders) that it will be difficult to organize people from the capital because most are in favor of Marcos's burial in Libingan ng mga Bayani."

"So they asked leftists groups to bring people from Tarlac. Eleven million had been released to pay each person from P2000 to P5000. Each person was paid P2000 before living Tarlac, but only 1,200 people were able to attend because of transportation problem," the source said.

The insider congressman added that he was one among those who signed the voucher to release the fund.

The lawmaker however did not reveal any name but mentioned that some of the main organizers of the said plan were among the attendees.
