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?

President Aquino, Senate President Drilon facing rough times

Mr. Frank Drilon in very delighted and enchanted state as he poses with Madam P Barreles and Monsieur P Barreles. At right is a repeat performance post of au naturelle poseur Ms. Jeane P, together in a very custodial pose with most high, Mr. Noynoy Aqu. Perhaps with all the posing and posturing by this government and functionaries, allies outside the public sector, some slip-ups were made and a few got slighted.  A new potential coup group sent a manifesto to media about their discontent. They call themselves the Reformist Officers United or the ROU.
