President Benigno Aquino III has created a special fund containing P317.58-billion in pork barrel that could be turned into a campaign kitty to support administration candidates in the 2013 elections, former national treasurer and Social Watch Philippines convenor Leonor Briones said Tuesday.āThis P317 billion [in the Special Purpose Fund] is one big pork barrel that can be used for election purposes. Only the President is allowed by the Constitution to tap the P317 billion in the undisclosed, hidden and vague SPF, whichever way he may see fit,ā Briones said....Brionesā group has been lobbying Congress to disclose details of the Special Purpose Fund. FOI NOW!!!...āWhile it is legal for the President to create a Special Fund, in this case the P317 billion Special Purpose Fund, the Palace has no right to duplicate budgetary items and place them under the sole discretion of the President,ā Briones added....She referred to the ānew outlayā of P22.42 billion in Priority Social and Economic Projects Fund under SPF when she said there was already P44 billion allocated to the Conditional Cash Transfer Program.Briones also questioned a P70.8-billion allocation for Budgetary Support to Government Corporations in the Special Purpose Fund, when there was already P16.82 billion set aside for this purpose, and P60.86 billion in the Debt Management Program, both under Unprogrammed Funds.
exactly the same thing arroyo did. i wonder what his loyal supporters would say? mag-iingay din kaya sila tulad nung pag-iingay nila for the past years? iko-condemn din kaya nila si noynoy like they did kay arroyo? tuwid na daan nga naman. ano na naman kayang drama ang sasabihin ni noynoy? ano na naman kaya ang palusot nya? actually, i understand or lets say expected na talaga yan in philippine politics. you need to fatten up your congress, your senate. what i hated about this guy is sya na yata ang patron ng mga hypocrites at trapo sa pinas. and to think, no concrete accomplishment pa din sya till date.
