KASONG ISINAMPA KAY DRILON, ABAD, ET AL: DAPAT BANTAYAN! Lino Celle New York USA November 24 2013 ( Manila Philippines ) WORLD NEWS: PHILIPPINES BANKRUPT FOR INDISCRIMINATE RELEASES OF PUBLIC FUNDS BEFORE SERIES OF CALAMITIES STRUCK As a result of indiscriminate releases of public funds under President Aquino prior to the series of natural and man-made calamities that hit the country, former Iloilo Rep. Augusto “Buboy” Syjuco Jr. suspected over the weekend the government is already bankrupt which was the reason for it to borrow $1 billion or approxi-mately P43 billion from the World Bank to fund its multiple relief efforts. Syjuco said that prior to the string of crisis that hit the country this year, which the Moro National Liberation Front’s (MNLF) Zamboanga siege, the strong earthquake that devastated Bohol and the recent typhoon Yolanda that laid waste to most parts of the Visayas, the Commission on Audit report for 2011 to 2013 showed unexplained irregularities in the Department of Budget and Management’s (DBM) implementation of the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP), specifically stating the missing of control numbers for 3,158 different Special Allotment Release Orders (SAROs) out of 42,193 SAROs for 2011. He said that these SAROs amount to more than P1.9 trillion that were spent without undergoing state audit. “Where are the money supposedly released for numerous projects under the SAROs in 2011. And what and where the projects implemented?” he asked. The former lawmaker said that he had already filed criminal charges against Senate President Franklin Drilon, Budget Secretary Florencio Abad and his wife Batanes Rep. Henedina Abad, in connection with the alleged questionable releases of hundreds of millions of public funds. In a 12-page complaint filed before the Office of the Ombudsman, Syjuco asked Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales to prosecute the three respondents for plunder, violations of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act and Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees. Syjuco is also seeking their preventive suspension. In his complaint, Drilon allegedly gave P70 million od his PDAF for the Iloilo Esplanade I project. “Adding altogether the construction of the retaining wall, slope protection, landscaping and amenities to complete the Iloilo Esplanade I is overwhelmingly incredible. This P70-million Iloilo Esplanade I project is absolutely a windfall to the pocket of respondent Franklin Magtunao Drilon,” the complaint retaining wall aid. Syjuco said while the Esplanade has been furnished and equipped with lighting, interlocking block pavement and landscaped with ornamental plants, another P13.5-million PDAF was allocated by Drilon for its improvement in August 2012. “Obviously, the hasty allocation of another P13 million from PDAF of respondent Drilon under the guise of the Esplanade project is a scam to fund a non-existent project,” he said. ‘Drilon okayed release of P752.5-M to Mrs. Ana Paulicia Abad Paula Marie Abad Suicoyjuco also said Drilon and Mrs Abad should be prosecuted for plunder and violation of the Anti-Graft Law for the questionable release of P752.5 million to Mrs. Abad, which is 10 times her regular pork barrel allocation for the lone district of Batanes. He said it was released upon the approval of Drilon who was then chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. by: DT LISTEN 24/ 7 HD USA & Worldwide for NEWS & Information: radiopinoyusa
