Massive scale corruption exposed/unfolding

[TopEngine]

Teka lang, akala ko tinangal si Corona para ma control ni PNoy ang SC.

PNoy = mediocre

tinanggal si Corona para maprotektahan ang Hacienda Luisita. Si Corona lang ang bukod-tanging CJ na magpa implement na sana ng batas na isauli na sa mga nagmamay-ari ng lupa ang HL. -at least I have corrected you

Dumaan na po sa 3 presidente before si Corona naging CJ at hindi din naman natapos yang HL issue. Kahit hindi pa si PNoy ang nanalo, isyu pa din yan. Tinanggal si Corona kasi tuta yan ni GMA. - at least I have corrected you.

Still prefer it Starship Troopers (from the book, not the movie) style:

Only those who've volunteered for a three year hitch in the military can vote.

No draft. No conscription. If you want to vote, sign up to die for your country.

Should simplify politics enormously.

Bro, borrowing a statement from the famous General and twisting it a bit:

"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.".. General George S. Patton

Here goes:

"I do not want to die for my country,- I want the other poor dumb b*stards to die for their country!"

dahil sa 3 nagdaaang presidente, wala pang CJ ang nangahas na buksan ang issue tungkol diyan sa HL, si CJ Corona lang - at least i'm enlightening you.

hahaha, taon-taon na lang laman nang pahayagan yang HL. Review mo mga article sa major newspaper from 1987-to the present. Hindi mauubos talakayan dyan sa HL. Hindi si PNoy dahilan kaya hindi pa din tapos yan hanggang ngayon. You're blaming the wrong guy. Tsaka may SC resolution na yan 2012 pa with finality. PNoy divested his share in 2012.

this may perceived as biased against Aquinos, but why not read 1st to see the other side then judge?

DAP: A tale of bribery, greed, and Hacienda Luisita | The Manila Times Online

“The Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) was implemented in good faith, and it stimulated the economy as was its intent,” President Aquino’s usually clueless spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said as he wriggled to defend what the Supreme Court ruled the other day as unconstitutional. Lies from Lacierda are becoming too commonplace.

The Supreme Court should take to task the Aquino government for misleading it by citing the World Bank’s March 2012 report that the DAP contributed “1.3 percentage points to GDP growth in the fourth quarter” (of 2011).”

How could that happen, when the DAP started only in November 2011 and released less than P20 billion in the last two months of the year? Indeed, the World Bank’s subsequent reports back-pedaled on its view of the DAP’s contribution to the country’s economic growth.

The World Bank noted in its updated December 2012 report that DAP represented a mere realignment of funds, which “does not guarantee sustained improvement in public spending to address growth and poverty targets.”

Even if it represented some increase in spending, the World Bank pointed out, “its contribution to gross domestic product growth is still miniscule (at less than 0.01 percentage point) given its relatively small amount (P40 billion) relative to the size of the economy (P10 trillion). “
Hacienda-Luisita20140704
Look at the numbers, and you’ll see the argument that the DAP stimulated the economy is so stupid. The P142 billion released in 2011 and 2012 is just 0.8 percent of the P20 trillion GDP for those years, and 5 percent of government expenditures.

While the DAP money (totaling P157.5 billion, including the P15.3 released in 2013) disbursed in three years is indeed tiny compared to the economy or the national budget, a major chunk of this—at least P34 billion—represented probably the biggest slush fund ever held solely by a president to spend at his whim in just two years.

this is intended for at least people who's not siding any yet but the truth, read this...

DAP: A tale of bribery, greed, and Hacienda Luisita | The Manila Times Online

Hacienda Luisita
The root of this DAP saga is the Hacienda Luisita case.

By July 2011, President Aquino had told his key inner circle that by hook or by crook Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona must be removed. He claimed that the Gloria Arroyo-appointee would impede his anti-corruption campaign.

Aquino’s real reason was that he and his Cojuangco clan had become desperate to reverse the Supreme Court decision issued that month. The ruling voided the fake land reform in 1989 of his family’s Hacienda Luisita (which then agrarian reform secretary Florencio Abad implemented) and ordered the hacienda’s land to be distributed to its farmers.

The Cojuangcos, according to the Supreme Court, should be given fair and just compensation of P173 million, or Hacienda Luisita’s 1989 value when the landlords undertook their fake land reform program. The landlord clan wanted P10 billion, its present market value.

Aquino’s appointee to the Supreme Court, the very inexperienced classmate of his, Lourdes Sereno, couldn’t convince the Court to increase the payment to the clan from P173 million to P10 billion. I was told then that Sereno herself told Aquino that there was no way for her to sway the Court if Corona remained as chief justice.

He had to be removed, and that could be done only through impeachment.

The problem obviously is that Congress would have to be bribed for that to happen, and the existing source for the bribes, the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), wasn’t enough to push the legislators to undertake such an unprecedented action, even if Aquino and Congress more than tripled the pork barrel fund from P7 billion in 2010 to P22 billion in 2011.

Enter Aquino’s brain trust, Abad. He wasn’t appointed to the Budget post for nothing.

If Abad could tutor pork-scam queen Janet Lim Napoles on how to use non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to steal taxpayers’ money, as she alleged in her affidavit, he certainly had the expertise to advise Aquino how to create a secret slush fund out of the budget.

This is the DAP, whose illegal, unconstitutional features the Supreme Court decision analyzed in much detail..
