Pork barrel thievery going unpunished as traditional Philippine activism fails

Posted on October 6, 2013 By benign0 13 Comments on Pork barrel thievery going unpunished as traditional Philippine activism fails
Pork barrel thievery going unpunished as traditional Philippine activism fails

If the Philippines were a normal country, its government would be paralysed by now. We have a President who’s ability to govern fairly is complicated by his being part of a feudal clan that owns a vast northern Luzon plantation that is on the brink of insolvency and was found to have likely performed accounting…

Military Unrest Under The Shadow of DAP Bribery

Posted on October 4, 2013 By P. Farol 48 Comments on Military Unrest Under The Shadow of DAP Bribery
Military Unrest Under The Shadow of DAP Bribery

Those two words and what they signify at this point is giving me the jitters. Because, if you add those two words to these: Thousands of people massing almost at EDSA and other public spaces condemning the corruption of the pork barrel system. Law experts and two senators saying that the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP)…

Resign Pnoy! (Para Na Sa Daang Matuwid)

Posted on October 3, 2013 By P. Farol 47 Comments on Resign Pnoy! (Para Na Sa Daang Matuwid)
Resign Pnoy! (Para Na Sa Daang Matuwid)

If you didn’t get the point of my last post on President BS Aquino III daring his critics to impeach him, it is this: I think the Pnoy Administration should just save us the drama of another impeachment and just resign before the year ends. Moreover, President Pnoy should stop it with his patented paawa effect….

It is time take Noynoy Aquino and his mob to task for their role in the pork barrel scam!

Former Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno today confirmed policy surrounding the way Malacanang can allocate discretionary “development” funds reportedly saying that; […] Malacañang cannot augment funding for new projects but can only add funds to existing programs. “The constitution is very clear that no law shall be passed authorizing any transfer of appropriation. They allow augmentation…

Thievery in Philippine government: The many creative ways of naming pork

Posted on October 2, 2013 By benign0 4 Comments on Thievery in Philippine government: The many creative ways of naming pork
Thievery in Philippine government: The many creative ways of naming pork

The acronyms may change, but the principles remain the same: Executives execute, and legislators legislate. Senators who were allegedly “rewarded” by President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III were supposedly given additional “appropriations” on top of their pork barrel allocations through a Malacañang appropriations mechanism called the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP). Why did legislators need to…

Whether called a bribe or an incentive pork barrel funds MOTIVATE Filipino politicians

Posted on October 1, 2013 By benign0 25 Comments on Whether called a bribe or an incentive pork barrel funds MOTIVATE Filipino politicians
Whether called a bribe or an incentive pork barrel funds MOTIVATE Filipino politicians

Bribe or incentive? Why does this question even matter? For many weeks now, Filipinos have been left to sift through mounds of information pouring out of traditional media and the Net to make sense of what’s going on as more “revelations”, “confessions”, and “testimonials” emerge about who got how much. Indeed, whether it is a…

August 13, 1996 Ph Daily Inquirer headlines MNLF violence in Zamboanga and pork barrel thievery

Further proof that Filipinos have a very flat learning curve. Congressional pork barrel thievery is nothing new. It’s been going on since its re-introduction into Philippine governance back in the late 1980s by former President Corazon Aquino, mother of current President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III. Even back in 1996, the Inquirer had already published…

Top Ten Reasons Why Proceso Alcala Should Quit As Agriculture Secretary

Posted on September 29, 2013September 29, 2013 By P. Farol 15 Comments on Top Ten Reasons Why Proceso Alcala Should Quit As Agriculture Secretary
Top Ten Reasons Why Proceso Alcala Should Quit As Agriculture Secretary

My first two posts on government funded rice importation caused a bit of a stir, but not enough to change the mind of Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala to stop the government to government importation of rice.  It isn’t enough that after the Arroyo Administration’s P732 Million Fertilizer Fund Scam, the DA insists on continuing a…
