Senator Chiz Escudero wants President Ninoy Aquino to
list down the list of projects where his new program went to. He wants the president to tell the public the
funds were only used for good purposes.
He is right as the president should get the trust of his fellow
countrymen and women. DAP means
disbursement acceleration program and it is a program that uses unused funds
for the benefit of projects. Chiz is
saying the public needs to have assurance that those funds would indeed be used
for the right purpose.
The public is still recovering from the infamous pork
barrel scam that got 3 senators in jail including a 90 year old man so the last
thing we need right now is something that is similar to what happened. Nobody knows whether or not President Aquino
will indeed reveal the list of projects the DAP went to but he can do that in
his speech tonight. He scheduled a
speech to address the public about the DAP ahead of his scheduled state of the
nation address that is scheduled to happen on July 28. A lot of people are anticipating this speech
since the DAP hasn’t exactly been something that the public has liked.
Secretary Abad tries to resign from his post as the
secretary of the Department of Budget and Management but President Aquino stops
that from happening since he is doing a good job with his job. It has not been a good past few weeks for the
president as there were calls for impeachment and demands for an apology. There is no doubt the president will want to
get on the good side of the Filipinos by issuing a public apology in front of
national television. However, nobody
knows if the DAP will still continue after that or not anymore.
