Kaban ni D_BystandeR: GISUKA NI MAGBABALAOD TERRY ANG GINAMOS SA MALACAÑANG???
Without the courageous
expose of Kabataan party-list Rep. Terry Ridon, nobody will have ever known how
the things discussed in the deliberation of 2015 budget have stubbornly
included in the form of lump sum appropriations while saying, on the other
hand, that Malacanang has already avoided the inclusion of pork barrel that
became the unifying force in building up the people's resolve to do away with
PDAF which became the source of huge money-making scheme to different lawmakers
with the connivance of Janet Lim-Napoles who operated lots of bogus
NGOs to scrape-dry the billions of taxpayer's money that could have helped
improved the lot of our poor countrymen. What Ridon is saying is that, despite
the Malacanang assurance that no more pork barrel is included in the budget,
Malacang's wanton insistence to cling to that pork barrel is evident with its
strategy to make it appear in a different form - in lump sum appropriations! And
this will only serve to strengthen and reinforce the people's decision to go on
with the impeachment against P-Noy. While P-Noy is assured by his political
allies overwhelming number to thwart the impeachment filed against him but
Ridon cleverly responded that the impressive number of ordinary men marching on
the streets will ultimately defeat the callous government of P-Noy. But it
doesn't mean the people will resort to a "bloody revolution" because
it is self-defeating. But it expects the feeling of "guilt and shame"
will finally overcome their awareness to surrender to people's
demand for honesty and sincerity of purpose to serve the people who thirst for government help in our
country.
