MANILA – Former Palace Social Secretary Ruby Chan Tuason whom the Department of Justice (DoJ) is considering as a state witness in the P10-billion pork barrel scam case being pinned on three opposition senators have numerous bank accounts which are now under investigation by the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC)..
A source noted that alleged bank deposits of Tuason were being kept in the  Bank of Commerce, BdO, Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corp., Metropolitan Bank & Co., Philippine Bank of Communications, Security Bank Corp. and Union bank.

Sources said the AMLC is now looking into 89 of Tuason’s purported bank accounts and other financial records under her name and jointly with her children kept in at least seven banks.
Documents showed that the said “monitoring” by the AMLC, an agency under the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) tasked to investigate suspicious transactions from financial institutions, was in relation to her alleged involvement in the pork barrel syndicate of businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles.
The AMLC, it was learned, is looking into a transaction in 2010, one of her purported numerous accounts in Metrobank, amounting to P30 million and another, involving P20 million, was under her account in Union Bank in Sept. 2008.
