He still thinks that he can mask his rotten image by saying good things on how public funds should be used and treated. It is so visible that it is the Devil’s trick that he is applying, a way of his in convincing us that his evil deeds do not exist. Janet Napoles is still there alive and kicking, “mandarambong”! You lied not knowing her, but you were immediately bared a big fat liar by your intimate photos with her and her children that subsequently surfaced. You are also in the Napolist and Luystahan! You are making corruptor economic saboteur Chinaman Lucio Tan laugh and laugh with your antics. Even one afflicted by Alsheimer’s can remember your going to Tan’s Biak-Na-Bato masion in the “Walang kumpapare, walang kaibikaigan” abbreviated Erap time! We often dream that you are on Lucio Tan’s dole, getting at times your regular dole at Rembrandth! +++++ Drilon urges ‘pork-free’ national budget for 2015 By Maila Ager |INQUIRER.net 12:12 pm | Friday, June 27th, 2014 newsinfo.inquirer.net/614865/drilon-urges-pork-free-national-budget-for-2015 MANILA, Philippines – Senate President Franklin Drilon on Friday urged the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to ensure that the 2015 national budget would be free of “pork” or anything that would resemble the then Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF). The proposed 2015 national expenditure program is now being drafted by the DBM, which will be the basis of the national budget that will be approved by Congress. “The Senate will exercise the strictest examination of the 2015 national budget to make certain that no revival of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) in any form or calling will occur,” Drilon, former chairman of the Senate committee on finance, said in statement. He said the PDAF, which was declared as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in late 2013, should be avoided altogether in next year’s national budget. “The Supreme Court ruling is clear about when congressional involvement with the budget should end. Therefore anything related to the PDAF in the 2015 national budget should be avoided,” Drilon said. In 2013, the Senate abolished the PDAF months before the SC declared it unconstitutional. Drilon suggested that the pork barrel funds in previous years should be directly channeled for the country’s instruments for social services such as massive backing for public hospitals, free public education in higher levels, poverty alleviation program, and assistance to the agricultural sector. He also asked the public to be “active watchers” of the national budgeting process. “To our people, especially to our youth, take a look, probe and examine piece by piece the laws our lawmakers craft for this country especially the national budget,” the Senate leader said. “”Please help us monitor and make sure that every peso in the 2015 GAA (General Appropriations Act) will be spent for the betterment of our nation,” Drilon added.
