JDV requests 5,000 rich families to donate 1M each

[altec]

HOUSE Speaker Jose de Venecia on Tuesday urged 5,000 rich families to donate one million pesos each to help the cash-trapped government avert a looming fiscal crisis.
De Venecia said he would personally give 500,000 pesos to help ease the country's fiscal woes apart from the 500,000 pesos in reward money he had earlier pledged for the killers of murdered journalists.

"My donation of one million pesos I hope would trigger a national momentum and we are appealing to the 5,000 [rich] families in the Philippines to contribute one million pesos each to raise five billion pesos," he said during a press conference.

At 1M per family, that's 5 billion pesos!! Sa personal opinion ko, kung gusto talaga ng mga congresista at senador natin na makaipon ang pinas ng 5 billion pesos, all they have to do is remove maski 10% out of the x percent they earn under the table from their pork barrel. Assuming each has 400M pork barrel each, at 10%, all you need is 125 congressmen giving up 10% under the table!! And I believe they earn up to 20-25%!! If we assume their pork barrel is only 200M, at 10%, that's 250 congressmen! E ang mga senador, alam ko 400M ang kanilang fund!!

Lastly, e di ba lifetime politician si JDV? and he has the excess money to donate 500,000 pesos just like that? Hmm, sounds very fishy...parang ginisa tayo sa sarili nating mantika.

[kiper]

Mukhang tumatanda na si JDV ah.. Sana lahat ng mga rich families na un eh ka-close nya para matiyak nya ung success ng plano nya.. tsktsk.. Kung mayaman ako magbigay lang ako ng 200k tops.

[niky]

whoops, sasabihin ko sana na sya muna ang magbigay, pero nagbigay na pala siya...

By the way, JDV is riiiiiiiich... whether in his role as trapo or as a private businessman, he can afford 1mil... that's chump change to him.

I strongly Agree!! Why 500,000 Pesos only! Dapat 50 Million pesos galing sa kanya!

JDV is associated with ARAMCO if im not mistaken.

[empy]

kung kukurakutin din naman niya eh kumita pa siya

senators pork is 200M, congressmen i think is 30-40M, per year.

[afrasay]

sa kaban ng bayan din nila kukunin yun...

[ghosthunter]

I think all the congressmen and senators should be the first to donate P1M each (actually more).

[rukawa]

congressman 65 million and pork, senator 200 imillion

[zero]

some of our politicians put up foundations where they divert their pork barrels using aliases or dummies to hide their real identities.
the bank secrecy law also prohibits us to take examine evidences to be presented in the court of law.

we just can't trust these kind of people.

[odell]

sa kanila din mapupunta yan.. kahit ako pag mayaman ni isang kusing wala akong ibibigay.. idederetsdo ko na lang sa charities nuh!

[luckytruck]

ubos na pera ng mga mayayaman sa "pagdonate" sa mga kampanya sa last elections.

kung inayos lang nila paghuli sa mga tax credit scams, malaking halaga din yun.

what really pisses me off is that they keep trying to think of hairbrained ideas to raise money when all it takes is proper and SELFLESS implementation of all the existing laws and policies.

[ssaloon]

eh kung yung pork barrel nga di nila mabitawan, much less yung mga tangible assets na hawak nila. KALOKOHAN!

desperado lang talaga gobyerno natin.

[pajerokid]

hahaha!!! This 'request' is simply laughable.

i agree! magbigay man sila eh babawiin din nila sa tao..

[badkuk]

nothing's for free; ano kaya ung kapalit nung 1m na "donation"?

[mbt]

dami naman ibang measures pwede gawin ng govt to raise revenue (practical stuff like shoring up tax collection, stamping out corruption, yadda yadda)... ayusin muna nila yung system bago sila mag-resort sa solicitation

Sari sari talaga ang naiisip nitong JDV na ito. Instead of tackling the real problems, gamot kabayo ang sina-suggest.
