OFFICIAL P485.74-BILLION EXTORTION IN 2015 NATIONAL BUDGET!

There is an OFFICIAL P485.74 EXTORTION in the proposed 2015 national budget.

It’s OFFICIAL because it’s in an official measure.

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 robbing the weak of their money without having to justify it.

In a story in manilastandardtoday.com, Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares broke down the P485.74 BILLION to P44.55 billion in off-budget accounts, P214.62 billion in special purpose funds, P123.05 billion in un-programmed funds and other lump sum appropriations amounting to P103.5 billion.

For the P44 billion, THERE WERE NO DETAILS, AS IN NONE.

PNoy’s government itemized the P214.46 billion into P61.31 billion for budgetary support for government corporations, P33.13 billion for assistance for local government units (LGU), P1 billion for the E-government Fund, 118.14 billion for the maintenance personnel benefit funds, P1 billion for rehabilitation and reconstruction and P28.6 million for “other” budgetary support for government corporations.

.

But NOT S SINGLE GOVERNMENT CORPORATION WAS NAMED. There was NO DATA on HOW MUCH WILL EACH CORPORATION GET AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE.

Same thing for the P33.13 billion assistance for LGUs.

No breakdown for the P1 billion for the E-government fund, no names and number of beneficiaries and justifications for the P118.14- billion for maintenance personnel benefit funds and NO SPECIFICS on what will be rehabilitated and reconstructed with the P1 billion and for what is the  P28.6 million for “other” budgetary support for government corporations.

There was NO BREAKDOWN OR ITEMIZED expenditures either under the P123.05-billion un-programmed funds, JUST GENERICS:

Another P5.06 billion for budgetary support for government corporations, P3.09 billion for support to foreign assisted projects, P20 billion for infrastructure projects and social programs, P30 billion for the Armed Forces modernization program, P200 million for general fund adjustments for use of excess income by agencies, P800 million for general fund adjustments for the share of the ARMM or Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and P53.9 billion for equity value buy-out of the MRT Corp.

NO SPECIFIC government corporation, foreign-assisted project or infrastructure project and social program. NO BREAKDOWN on where the P30 billion for the military’s modernization will be spent. NO EXPLANATION on the need for the P200 million for general fund adjustments for use of excess income by agencies and  P800 million for general fund adjustments for the share of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao

NO EXPLANATION on how the P53.9 billion will be utilized for the MRT buyout.

The Office of the President allotted P25.87 billion to monitoring and evaluation activities for bottom-up budgeting and peace and poverty alleviation projects tin various government departments.

But NOT EVEN ONE ACTIVITY was identified by Malacanang and NOTHING WAS MENTIONED on how much will each agency get and why.

The Office of the President did not also give any breakdown on the P331 million in pensions for former Presidents and their wives.

GOD HAVE MERCY ON THE PHILIPPINES… PLEASE, SAVE US. 30
