Now go to P83 billion. That was the amount of the pork barrel in 2009, which marks the 20th year of the pork barrel, and the almost-end of the Arroyo administration. The pork was composed of the PDAF appropriations of P10 billion; VILP, P23 billion; and CI, P50 billion.
The good news is that from a high of P83 billion in 2009, the pork barrel plummeted to about P25 billion in 2012 (alas, the hanky-panky continues). And it will be zero for 2014. But as we have seen, the PDAF is not the pork barrel. Until P-Noy says that he is abolishing the pork barrel, I will not be satisfied, and neither should anybody else. We’ve been hoodwinked enough. Abolish the pork barrel. Not just the PDAF. Now.
pork barrel = PDAF of P10 billion
VILP of P23 billion
CI of P50 billion
yes, our legislators have been proposing for the abolition of the PDAF, but that's only part of the pork barrel, as we can see. there's still the bigger VILP and the CI. and the PDAF is the smallest amount. hehe, mga wais gyod.
