PHILSTAR: ABAD ASKED TO TRIM P23-B SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago said Abad’s admission that there were prior consultations with lawmakers regarding their priority projects is proof that there is pork barrel in the 2015 budget. “In other words, there may be no separate item called Priority Development Assistance Fund, but the funds have already been built into the proposed 2015 budget,” Santiago said. “These funds, regardless of the name, may be considered pork barrel, because they are national funds used for local projects selected by legislators, and they are granted in lump sums,” she added.
