Scam, no! PDAF a ‘mafia’ of executive & legislature « Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism. THERE’S NO making nice about this: when the shit hits the fan, the squall and stench are sure to rub off on everyone.

That means President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III, and officials of the executive agencies, government corporations, and local government units that are the funds conduit and implementing agencies of pork projects, would be hardpressed in evading blame for the financial and political mess that pork has become.

Mga Punto sa RH Bill, sa TOTOO lang. Naalala ko nung nasa college pa ko, nag-walk out ako minsan sa isang misa.
Sa mga nakakakilala sa kin ngayon, malamang ay di sila makapaniwala sa ginawa kong yun. Pero totoong nangyari yun.
