The Pork Ball From Different Angles

Posted on August 30, 2013August 31, 2013 By John Bay 10 Comments on The Pork Ball From Different Angles
The Pork Ball From Different Angles

 I have been fortunate enough to have been invited to the Rotary Club of Manila by its President Rudy Bediones at the Manila Polo Club, August 29, 2013. The Rotary Club of Manila (RCM) has a long tradition of inviting excellent speakers, many of which come from their esteemed membership. The motive for me was…

Filipino politicians all on edge as top Ph ‘pork barrel scam’ fugitive Janet Lim Napoles ‘surrenders to PNoy’

How exactly does one “surrender” to the President of the Philippines? Does one come knocking at Malacanang’s door with their hands in the air? What exactly does turning a fugitive over to a cabinet Secretary for “processing” mean? Regardles… now that Janet Lim Napoles has reportedly surrendered to Philippine President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III,…

Jinggoy Estrada couldn’t care less where his pork goes

Jinggoy Estrada couldn’t care less where his pork goes

Quoted on an ABS-CBN News report… “It is not up to the senators to determine whether an NGO is bogus or not…” Well now. So the question is, “honourable” senators: Why then do you insist on being involved in the disbursement of “development” funds if you are not willing to be responsible for ensuring our…

PNoy misled public on pork barrel funds: It’s still in the budget and legislators still want it

Posted on August 28, 2013October 22, 2013 By Ilda 66 Comments on PNoy misled public on pork barrel funds: It’s still in the budget and legislators still want it
PNoy misled public on pork barrel funds: It’s still in the budget and legislators still want it

Tax evasion should not be a criminal offense anymore in the Philippines. After all, some of the country’s public servants, those who blatantly steal taxpayers’ money, do not get prosecuted or go to jail. It is even quite baffling how members of Congress made a big deal out of former Chief Justice Renato Corona’s undeclared…

Pork, Paybacks and Picnics

Pork, Paybacks and Picnics

Droves of tax-paying citizens flocked to Luneta and other public areas around the Philippines on Monday August 26, 2013 (coinciding with National Heroes Day) to protest the “Pork Barrel” scheme and allegations of corruption perhaps triggered by the recent exposure of P10-B Napoles Pork Barrel scam. The event was largely mobilized through the social media…

Si Richard…

Hindi ko dapat i-po-post ito pero mabigat nang dalhin. Eto po si Richard, nakilala ko siya  sa Million People March sa Luneta. Tubong Cebu pero napadpad sa Maynila para maghanap ng trabaho.  Dahil wala siyang mapasukang trabaho, siya ay nagtitinda ng kahit anong pwedeng itinda para maitawid ang kanyang mga araw araw na pangangailangan. Sa araw…

On Booing Corona and More Misguided Outrage Fads

On Booing Corona and More Misguided Outrage Fads

One of the more remarkable events that occurred during the August 26 Luneta Rally (I wonder how many of them went on the spot where the Bus Hostage Crisis happened) , was the reported booing of former Chief Justice Renato Corona when he appeared at the rally. I also noticed a lot of rabid anti-Coronans…

Senate President Franklin Drilon proposes abolition of Congress!

Senate President Franklin Drilon proposes abolition of Congress!

Seems like even the honourable and learned senators of this fine land cannot grasp simple principles that underpin a growing public sentiment against discretionary public spending in the Philippines by the legislature — specifically that which comes in the form of “pork barrel” funds. Senate President Franklin Drilon, for one, cannot seem to understand that…
