ABS-CBN: 'PRESIDENT HAS P1-TRILLION PORK BARREL'
Former National Treasurer Leonor Briones and Bayan Muna partylist Rep. Neri Colmenares want the executive department to explain the lump sum items in the national budget which they believe are the President's version of lawmakers' pork barrel funds. Briones, who has been studying national budget through the years, estimates the lump sums under the President's discretion to amount to around P1 trillion. Briones said the power of the President to realign funds in the budget makes the whole national budget his "pork". By her reckoning, only half of the national budget is detailed.
