I AGREE WITH OSCAR FRANKLIN TAN!!! (Y) PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE IN FULL! SALAMAT :-) --------------------------------------------------------- However one defines pork, it is impossible to run a government without discretionary funds. It is impossible to prohibit pork in every sense, and instilling transparency and accountability remains paramount. We must thus channel our anger into specific steps. First, we must pass the Freedom of Information bill. With the failure of practically every check against corruption, the only way to end impunity is to empower every citizen to see for him/herself how his/her money is used. Second, we must support the nonpartisan checks already in the system... The COA is theoretically coequal to the President and Congress, and Tan has made this real. The same is true of the feisty Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales who, we believe, is beholden only to how history will judge her good name. It must be made indubitable that public opinion is on their side as they confront the formidable web of pork mafias.
