Tiglao: PNoy’s Pork Barrel Republic: manilatimes.net/pnoys-pork-barrel-republic/29287/ It’s certainly no surprise that President Aquino and the Congress he controls won’t be listening to calls to investigate the alleged corruption of pork barrel funds. What for? The damage had already been inflicted on Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and his protégé Gregorio Honasan as well as presidential or vice presidential timbers Ramon Revilla, Ferdinand Marcos, and Jinggoy Estrada with the purported exposés painting them as pork-barrel thieves. The message has been delivered by this regime: cooperate with us, or with media as a tool, we will bury you. Never have pork barrel funds been as huge as it is under Aquino, so much so that calling ours a “Pork Barrel Republic “ isn’t an exaggeration. In President Arroyo’s last three years in office, pork barrel funds averaged P7.8 billion annually. Under Aquino’s first three years, these have tripled to P24.8 billion. #rizalhenyo #angonorizalnewsonline Rizal Henyo Rizal News Online Rizalhenyo Kyo Ami Filliffe Anorico Danilo C.
