The alleged mastermind of the pork barrel scam, Janet Lim Napoles, was rushed to a government hospital in Makati after complaining of severe pain in her stomach. She asked Judge Elmo Alameda to allow her to be confined at the St. Lukes Hospital for the removal of her myoma. Judge Alameda, however, ruled that it would be better if Napoles would be treated in a government hospital. Alameda then allowed Napoles to be taken to the Ospital ng Makati for a check-up after she complained of stomach pain. Doctors there however ruled that there is no need for emergency medical treatment for Napoles. By three in the afternoon, Friday, she is already on her way back to Fort Sto. Domingo where she is currently detained.
