CORRUPTION OPPORTUNITIES BEHIND RH BILL!


In case you missed it, I   had pointed out in an earlier blog that a staggering P21 BILLION has been allocated by PNoy’s government for the Reproductive Health (RH) bill once it is enacted into law.

Now, since NO LESS THAN PNOY HIMSELF IS DIRECTLY INTERVENING for the speedy approval by both the Senate and the House of Representatives of the bill so that he can sign it into law, time to ask these questions, boys and girls:

WHO are the prospective SUPPLIERS of the contraceptives and other items on which the P21 BILLION would be spent?

Do they have LINKS, and I mean any at all, TO PNOY and HIS SISTERS OR RELATIVES,  to any Malacanang or government official or to any senator or congressman/woman who/s actively supporting the passage of the RH bill?

And what I mean by any link whatsoever is whether as classmates, personal friends, former employers or bosses or co-workers, former employees, former teachers or professors or boyfriends/girlfriends, or distant relatives even to the 5th or 6th  degree or relatives of in-laws  of any or all of the above.

By this time, business proposals have been surely submitted by the prospective suppliers, or bidders. The people should immediately know who these businessmen are.

For all we know, they are all known cronies or friends of the Aquino Government.

The DoH should reveal the details (especially the prices of the goods), the terms and conditions, officials and personnel who will run the program and be accountable for everything about it, including the funds and safety nets against graft and corruption and theft of the money.

So that we, the people, will know who to run after in case something questionable or anomalous comes up in the implementation of the RH law.

And last, but definitely not the least, the DoH should immediately publicize the schedule or lineup of to whom or where will the RH law and its freebies will be implemented, first.

We must have an assurance that prioritization will be based on the gravity of the need of the area and beneficiaries, and NOT ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE PRO OR ANTI-PNOY. 30
