Senator Franklin Drilon Says He Will Lead the Abolition of the PDAF in the Senate

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Did I hear that right?

Senate President Franklin Drilon has proclaimed his intention to lead and promote to the members of  the Senate the abolition of the highly controversial Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or most commonly known as the "pork barrel" fund.

"I will lead the Senate in the abolition of the PDAF."

This warranted an applause from the majority, if not all of the audience, present during the 50th Annual Conference of the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) celebrating their golden year with a three-day event composed of many activities for the HR practitioner delegates sent by the many companies and organizations doing business in the Philippines.

The event was also graced by a lot of notable top and popular personalities from both government and private sectors.

Watch the video by further reading to see if I did hear it right.

Napoles, Malacanang and the Pork Barrel Conspiracy Theories

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"These allegations merits a PUBLIC SHARE on my timeline not for any other reasons other than knowing the whole TRUTH about the matter. The article presented a lot of questions that needs to be answered and as of this moment there have been no attempts to provide a satisfactory 'no bullshit' answers to all the QUESTIONS!" - Raine De Ocampo

NAPOLES HAD LUNCH AT PALACE BEFORE SHE SURRENDERED TO PNOY
 By Francisco Kit Tatad | Opinion | Manila Standard Today

(Personal Note: As it appears, their battery of online trolls - the same ones who attack me each time I have a column that is critical of the President - have succeeded in blocking the link to this article, flagging it as having malicious/ inappropriate content. How can the link to a Manila Standard Today article be blocked from being posted/shared on Facebook? Is someone afraid because the truth is starting to come out? Solution: Copy-paste. Please share so these trolls' efforts will be for naught.)

Contrary to what the nation and the rest of the world have been led to believe, President Benigno S. Aquino III spent several hours in “closed- door conversations” with Janet Lim Napoles, the suspected mastermind in the alleged P10-billion pork barrel scam involving selected opposition lawmakers, before showcasing to the media her formal “surrender” to “the only person she trusted,” on the evening of August 28, 2013, authoritative sources have revealed.

This incredible detail was completely left out of Malacanang’s official statement, which had sought to present Aquino’s meeting with Napoles as no more than a 10-minute affair that ended an otherwise fruitless manhunt of a celebrated fugitive from justice, and was witnessed by several Cabinet members and duly recorded for posterity by the Malacanang press office.
