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
