In mid-2013, it came up with an audit report centering on the involvement of those senators in the Napoles scam. It would not take long, however, for the pork barrel issue to blow up in Aquino's face and expose how Aquino himself has been using the PDAF, as well as the DAP, stoking large-scale mass protests last year.
Noong kalagitnaan ng 2013, naglabas ito ng ulat ng pagsusuri na nakatuon sa pagkakasangkot ng mga senador na iyon sa iskandalong Napoles. Gayunpaman, hindi nagtagal at sumambulat ang isyu ng pork barrel sa mukha ni Aquino at nalantad kung paano mismo ginamit ni Aquino ang PDAF, maging ang DAP, na nagpaalab sa malawakang protestang masa noong isang taon.
