MLA STANDARD: Palace dangles 'pork' against Church lobby
With only 6 session days left before Congress goes on a Christmas break, the Palace countered heavy lobbying by Catholic bishops by WARNING lawmakers that they would NOT get up to P280 million in pork barrel each if they fail to support the RH bill, the Manila Standard learned Wed. The P280 million constitutes the last tranche of pork for this year, and the first tranche for 2013 that will be released in advance to skirt the election ban, which begins in the third week of January.
