My Facebook status two days before the Million People March. |
I resigned from a BPO company in Ortigas after my father's death last Fathers' Day. It's depressing to watch news every single day about this Pork Barrel Scam. I feel betrayed at the same time, disarmed. Why because I am jobless. Within that 5 years of working, wala ni isang payday na hindi ko naisusumpa ang tax deduction on my payslip.
A day before...
I knew I have to be in Luneta on the 26th. I needed to. I wanted to. I asked my Mom if I could go and for the very first time, she allowed me to join the protest. Fortunately, my orgmates from the Society of Young Leaders (a non-government organization in my previous school, Colegio de San Juan de Letran) are also going.
Right thing to do.
Aeta youth just made me braver. |
My stand...
...at Luneta for the Million People March |
I don't think it is a necessity. Joker Arroyo served as Makati representative from 1992 to 2001 then became senator from 2001 to June 2013 but he never used his pork. As per Philippine Daily Inquirer, Arroyo said these earlier this year - "“I do not touch nor avail myself of the pork barrel so I wouldn’t know about kickbacks. I do not spend even half of that for my office expenses. What is not spent is retained in the general fund of the Senate. That is why for 20 straight years, starting when I was in the House of Representatives and continued in the Senate, I have earned the title ‘Scrooge of Congress’ for being the thriftiest, most frugal and tight-fisted legislator."
2nd - Pass the FOI (Freedom Of Information) Bill this year.
Yes, we need it as soon as possible!
3rd - Jail the buwaboys!
Patalsikin at papanagutin ang mga buwaya at baboy sa gobyerno. Ang mga alagad nilang tulad ni Napoles.
