Sila rin pala... " But perhaps the public had good reason to. What has emerged from the gargantuan breadth and scope of the PDAF scandal is that barely any hands in government are left untainted by PDAF. Last year, according to the budget department records, Bayan Muna also received P124.7 million; Anakpawis, P52.3 million—and this year, P20 million; the Alliance of Concerned Teachers, P20 million for 2011, P70 million for 2012; and Kabataan, P23 million in 2011; and so on. The total released so far to the Makabayan coalition: P674.215 million. And yet, to hear it from the representatives of these groups, it’s as if only the usual traditional politicians and their partners in crime, like Janet Lim-Napoles, had their hands inside the PDAF jar. Bayan Muna’s justification for taking the money? Because it was already in the budget. And the money went to good projects anyway."
