WHERE'S OUR MONEY, PNOY?

Another grave danger that we are overlooking is the underspending of the Aquino Government.

Other than their own words, WE HAVE NO ASSURANCE that PLUNDER of public funds is not being carried out in this Administration.

Think about this, among others, boys and girls:

It has been established that nothing has been spent for infrastructure projects. Not even one major road or thoroughfare, bridge, airport, pier or other similar structure has been built by Noynoy’s Administration in its 18 months in power.

No major livelihood or job-generating project or program which can benefit even a few thousands of the poor has been launched or carried out.

Instead of augmenting, cuts have been made in the budgets for pro-poor services like public health care and education.

But generation of government revenues continue non-stop.

Tax collection has not been stopped by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. So has the Bureau of Customs with the duties and fees paid by importers and traders in all ports nationwide.

Pagcor and the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) still rake in money for the government. Contributions to the Social Security System (SSS) and the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) have not been stopped and are still in the billions monthly.

Investments these two agencies make in various big businesses pour in millions more to their coffers. Add to these the earnings by the Manila International Airport Authority, Philippine Ports Authority and government-owned or controlled corporations.

So the million-peso question is WHERE’S THE MONEY? Remember, folks:

We have no idea where is the money, the bulk of which I’ll dare say is our hard-earned taxes, kept. We don’t know which banks hold the funds, how much is in what bank and who’s  authorized to withdraw. We don’t know what’s the assurance that the right amount is being deposited.

We have had NO PHYSICAL PROOF that the money IS STILL IN THESE BANKS!

We don’t know HOW MUCH EXACTLY is the government earning, or has earned in its 18 months in power.

We don’t know how much has been spent, or is being spent, where and by whom.
Only a handful of people in government know the true whereabouts of public funds and what’really is left of it.

But NO DETAILED or ITEMIZED breakdown of government funds has been disclosed to the public since the Aquino Administration took over. Anybody correct me if  I’m wrong.

How can we be sure now hat we’re NOT BEING ROBBED of our monies by the government? Keep in mind, people: If public funds are stolen, it’s us ordinary mortals who will suffer the most!

We will be deprived of basic services, as we replace the stolen monies with our taxes!

I heard the word TRANSPARENCY a lot of times when Noynoy was running for president. But if this is Noynoy’s definition of transparency, somebody better gift him with a dictionary or a thesaurus, FAST!

NOYNOY’S HIGHLY DOUBTFUL POPULARITY

ELI:
I agree with your presentation, but let me add that the population of the Philippines now is 94.6 million. Therefore, it is ridiculous to say that the survey results from 1,200 respondents can represent the sentiments of 94.6 million Filipinos. It is the height of folly and stupidity to believe the surveys but P-Noy and his fanatics believe and swallow hook, line and sinker the results.

JERRY OCAMPO
Surveys are political tools.

VULGAR PROTECTION POF JUETENG

MARIA DOLORES SANTOS of London, United Kingdom
Pang-lima sa prioridad ni Pnoy.ang pagsugpo sa jueteng pero bakit parang di siya natitigatig! Dahil kaya sa jueteng, lahat ay nakikinabang mula puno hanggang sanga? Ang pangakong 'matuwid na daan' ay tila bako-bako na.

LOLITA GUINIGUIN-PERSCHBACHER
Since our mayor in Baguio was called a jueteng lord, we feel we are being ignored up to now. until now. Maybe because all leaders are jueteng lords.

JOE ALVARADO JR. of Makati
Jueteng has been untouchable since time immemorial. At least, it is a lesser evil than drugs.

NIQUEKY LAU
Indeed, it exists! Vulgar protection of jueteng, I’ve heard of that. Terrible na.

THE DANGERS OF MALACANANG’S PLAN B

GRACE TAMAYO of Manila
Wala ng magagawa si Pnoy sa kaso. Pag di niya inilabas ang pondo ng Senate, maiipit lahat ang projects katulad ng ginawa niya sa 2010. Ibabalik sa treasury ang pera at iimbistigahan siya ng IMF. DIKTA NG DIKTA, gusto ko ito, gusto ko yan. Pulos palpak naman. Madaming hangin sa utak. 30

"Instead of augmenting, cuts have been made in the budgets for pro-poor services like public health care and education." -- Obviously, the gov't wants its people to stay poor, unhealthy, and ignorant. Para madaling utuin pag election na. Nasabi nga ni Gordon before, poverty is an absence of choice. Kawawa naman ang Pilipinas =/
