PNOY'S VETO OF MAGNA CARTA FOR POOR IS UNACCEPTABLE

Unless it can be JUSTIFIED IN DETAIL, PNoy’s veto of the Magna Carta for the Poor is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

PNoy said the implementation of the Magna Carta cannot be funded by his government, especially since the rights of the poor to food, livelihood and others provided in the Magna Carta can be demanded by the less-fortunate.

I have not read the whole bill but I will dare say that the authors did not mean NOW or IMMEDIATELY, LITERALLY, when they used the word demand in writing the measure.  

As quoted by PNoy himself, the Magna Carta provides that “the government shall, as a matter of duty and obligation, PROVIDE THE REQUIREMENTS, CONDITIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES for the full enjoyment of these rights of the poor."

Meaning, it’s UP TO THE GOVERNMENT, and not to the poor, how to effectively, and comfortably, implement the Magna Carta.

  

Ano ngayon ang problema? Personally, I see two possibilities:

PNoy himself DOES NOT WANT the Magna Carta implemented. Or HE AND HIS BOYS ARE one big bunch of incompetents that THEY SIMPLY DON’T KNOW how to do it.  

If PNoy will say it’s the money:

If billions, of pesos can be readily allocated to the conditional cash transfer program despite the ABSENCE of a PUBLIC ACCOUNTING of the funds since Pnoy became president, WHY can’t the same thing be done for the Magna Carta?

How much money does the government have and how much exactly is allocated for pro-poor programs?

PNoy’s government HAS NOT STOPPED collecting all kinds of taxes and fees since they assumed power in 2010. And as I had mentioned in an earlier blog, add to these funds the billions coming from Pagcor, the PCSO and other state-run firms.

Plus government earnings from various investments here at home and abroad.

So, HOW MUCH are we talking about? And WHERE’S THEMONEY.

Remember, people, since PNoy became president, NOT EVEN ONE MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE project has been funded, and finished, by his administration, 

Anybody correct me if I’m wrong.    

We are being bombarded lately with all kinds of ‘pa-pogi’ from the government --  billions and billions of pesos allocated or ready for release of this and that project;  tens of billions of pesos worth of investments or projects approved, and the like…

Tandaan n’yo, naglaan pa lang ng  pondo o ready pa lang kuno iyung pondo.  O kaya ay aprobado pa lang kuno iyung proyekto. Pero WALA PANG AKTWAL, o SINISIMULANG proyekto.

PURO KUWENTO LANG.
