If Leni Robredo underspent her budget for the
poor by more than P89 million, then the people have to IMMEDIATELY know how
much she had spent for her NUMEROUS TRAVELS, both locally and internationally.
Every single peso of it, since her staff at the Office of the Vice-President
(OVP) might say plane fare for some of the trips had been paid for by others.
So that we would know WHO HER REAL PRIORITY
IS, HERSELF or the people. Leni’s budget comes from our taxes. IT’S OUR MONEY.
More importantly, has the country gained anything from these trips? If yes,
DETAILS PLEASE! If no, why did she go there?
ALL government expenses are supposed to be
fully documented. If Leni and her staff have nothing to hide, then there should
be no problem baring her travel details.
Another issue that must be clarified is the
alibi of Leni’s staff that one reason for the underspending is poor people from
the provinces will have to go to their office to apply for assistance.
Leni’s local travels are always
HIGHLY-PUBLICIZED. Her office always says she has gone to a lot of provinces to
find out the needs or problems of the poor. So aside from delivering speeches
or chatting with residents, and having her picture taken, WHAT EXACTLY DID SHE
DO in those trips? Does this mean that she did not give any direct assistance
to the needy among them?
As I had noted in my preceding blog, a story
in inquirer.net quoted a Commission on Audit (COA) report as saying that had the
P89 million been utilized “for
medical assistance, using the maximum amount of P25,000 per request, OVP could
have already assisted or sent at least 3,500 cancer patients to chemotherapy
sessions or in case of the minimum P3,000 burial services, OVP could have
supported additional 29,000 burials.” 30
explain to the people show evidence because it's people money!!!
