The Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) admitted yesterday that it has paid $20 million — roughly P1 billion — to foreign lawyers, but its officials said the commission is not wasting taxpayers’ money.


PCGG director for legal affairs Jay Miguel said there are three foreign lawyers in the commission’s active list.


"These are not so-so lawyers. The Philippine government, if we hire lawyers, want to make sure they are good. The price is reasonable because they are competent," he said.
