Apparently, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima believes so as well. In an interview on GMA News' "Unang Hirit" Wednesday, she said the confirmation of the "closeness" of Enrile and Reyes could be of help in the ongoing investigation into the misuse of lawmakers' Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF).
