The pork barrel, aka pig baul hearing by the Senate of the Philippines just ended at this minute. Secretary Leila de Lima brought along the witnesses for the case of pig baul. The extent of stealing of money from the public coffers is mind boggling. It is hoped that the Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines will finally realize, despite the fashion show in Zamboanga City, that it is time for the pig baul, pork barrel to go.

Media asks: who are these other NGOs that have been raking in money from government? If the Napolis NGOs are just the tip of the iceberg, why aren't they naming the other NGOs? What is the government, COA, Congress, DBM, et al hiding?

Money flows

Money goes everywhere the catchers are. Money just keeps on flowing. Our elders used to say, money has no brains. Money has no qualms. Money has no conscience. Money is devoid of any scruples at all.

Money never does distinguish between the dark and shady, the bright and principled individuals in our midsts. Money is neutral

As the media says even the so-called accusers are now part of the sinners.
