After the corrupt elections, corruption in spending

After people in many parts of the country started getting through their suffering from their popular and honest leaders losing in elections to traditional politicians, what they had feared while voting for upright and conscientious candidates has blatantly become manifest.

The NAPOLES, et al scandal rocked the consciousness of the nation and some of those who felt nauseated and fed up with all the shenanigans of the men and women walking the halls of power once again would like to take to the streets. Without knowing about the real intentions of the organizers of the protests against PDAF or pork barrel, thousands vowed to go Rizal Park. And thousands actually did.

Before the day ends, there are still questions about the campaign to abolish PDAF. But in the end, if the people actually want this practice to end, then it should end.

Ultimately, do-gooders will try to stop the momentum and complain that PDAF has its own merits. Well bullshit to all of them and hope they just fade away. We vote for the absolute crushing of the extremely corrupt pork barrel system.
