Apart from the OFFICIAL P485.74 EXTORTION in the proposed 2015
national budget which I wrote about the other day, PNoy may very well have
CONTROL OF HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS MORE once the measure becomes law.
A
story in manilastandardtoday.com quoted ACT Teachers Rep. Antonio Tinio as
saying that the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) submitted last Friday
100 pages of errata with several amendments to the national budget, to House Committee on Appropriations chair Davao
City Rep. Isidro Ungab
JUST
HOURS before the national budget was approved on second reading.
Tinio
said the errata would allow PNoy to realign projects to another project if he
so desires.
But
here’s the catch, boys and girls: the errata were NOT SUBJECTED TO DEBATES OR
ANY OTHER FORM OF CONGRESSIONAL SCRUTINY, and were CASUALLY INSERTED into the
national budget SHORTLY before its approval on second reading.
Meaning,
the errata WERE HIDDEN from the congressmen, and the PUBLIC.
A
person ONLY HIDES SOMETHING if there’s an ILLEGAL OR IMMORAL BASIS for it.
Had
the errata not been discovered it would have been APPROVED WITHOUT QUESTION,
REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER WILL BE THE CONSEQUENCES, along with the national
budget.
Considering
that the DBM had the STOMACH, and the NERVE, to try to HIDE THE ERRATA from
congressmen themselves, and in effect the people, its provisions must be so
GROSSLY IMMORAL OR ILLEGAL that mote likely than not, it would trigger OUTRAGE
at the very least.
Otherwise,
if there’s nothing to hide or to fear, the errata would have been submitted
early enough for deliberations before the approval on second reading of the
national budget.
Now,
think about these, boys and girls:
The
OFFICIAL EXTORTION in the proposed 2015 national budget is P485.74 billion.
It’’s
EXTORTION because PNoy will have SOLE DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY over the P485.74
BILLION, with Malacanang NOT PROVIDING ANY SPECIFIC DETAILS ON HOIW AND WHERE
THE MONEY WILL BE SPENT.
Simply
put, PNoy’s government is demanding P485.74 BILLION from us and THEY DON’T NEED
TO EXPLAIN where our money will go. Just like a BULLY forcing the weak to yield
his money without justifying it.
It’s
OFFICIAL because the vehicle for the extortion is an official measure.
So
the million-dollar questions are WHY SHOULD PNOY BE GIVEN ACCESS TO, AND
DISCRETION ON, HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF PESOS MORE despite the P485.74 BILLION
which he has SOLE DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY on?
FOR
WHAT are the MOUNTAINS OF MONEY which the national budget wants to ENTRUST TO
PNoy?
Choose
your wild, ladies and gentlemen. But BELIEVE ME, something smells like a DEAD
RAT in the national budget.30
