DINKY SOLIMAN'S SUSPICIOUS BUDGET REQUEST

Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Sec. Dinky Soliman had better have a DETAILED, AIR-TIGHT and JUSTIFIABLE explanation for all these BILLIONS.

And if Pnoy and his boys will still clear Soliman without question, like others before her,  ang patuloy na maniniwala kay PNoy, dapat nang magpatinigin sa isip. No offense meant.  

First and foremost, the Commission on Audit (COA) reported that Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) disbursements for 2011 reached P14,486,750,011.28. But ONLY P10,716,588,449.28 was “properly documented and verified.”

Meaning, P3.7 BILLION, not just million but billion boys and girls, remain UNACCOUNTED FOR OR MISSING! Hindi malaman kung SAAN NAPUNTA.

Second, banking fees were increased by Soliman from P346 million in 2012 to P633 million in its 2013 budget, or an additional P287 MILLION.

If you divide P633 million by 365 days, that’s more than P1.5 million a day.

A big-time businessman I consulted (big as in companies left and right, here and abroad) reacted without thinking: “Why are there banking fees in the first place? The banks are the ones who should pay interest to the government for holding the CCT money,”

The businessman, and an accountant, told me there is no way anyone will spend more than P1.5 million a day for banking services alone.

“Not unless you will move or transfer hundreds of millions daily to other countries. But remember, the CCT is supposed to be for the Philippines only,” the businessman added

From P3.8 billion in 2012, the DSWD wants to increase the budget for overhead expenses in 

administering the CCT program in 2013 to P4.7 billion.

That is an additional P900 MILLION, or almost P2.5     MILLION DAILY for one whole year.  

ANO ANG KAILANGANG GASTUSAN NG P2.5 MILLION ARAW-ARAW para lamang maipatupad ang CCT? DAANG LIBONG PIRASONG PAPEL ba araw-araw ang magagamit? I

Isang libo ba, 5,000 o 10,000 litro ng gasolina o krudo ba ang makokonsumo ng mga sasakyang gamit araw-araw?   

TONE-TONELADA bang pagkain ang nauubos araw-araw ng mga tauhan ng CCT? DAANG LIBONG PISO bang halaga ng kuryente o tubig ang nakokonsumo araw-araw ng CCT, kung may binabayaran man?

And you know what’s the HYPOCRITICAL, and DEHUMANIZING, part people? In case you missed it in the news?

The DSWD REDUCED BY 92 PERCENT the CCT budget for the Autonomous Region  in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), acknowledged  as one of the poorest of the poor regions in the country.

From P3.5 billion in 2012, the CCT budget for ARMM is now down to a measly P251 million.

But for salaries and wages of CCT personnel, the DSWD wants P610 MILLION MORE for 2013, from P1.87 billion in 2012 to P2.48 billion in 2013

This despite COA findings in its 2011 CCT report that the number of beneficiaries DECLINED compared to the 2010 total.

KUMONTI na nga ang nakinabang sa CCT, gusto pa ni Soliman na TAASAN ang suweldo ng mga tauhan oara dito? ANONG KLASENG KATARANTADUHAN ITO?

Before anybody ignores this issue, think about this:

PERA NG BAYAN ang ginagastos sa CCT. BUWIS AT MGA BAYARIN NATIN sa gobyerno. PERA NATIN! 30
