REVEAL LENI’S TRAVEL EXPENSES, NOW!!

01 July 2017

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
