MLA STANDARD: ALL RELEASES OF PORK BARREL LEAD TO MALACANANG, with Pres Benigno Aquino III having THE LAST SAY on who gets the grease, lawmakers and Palace officials said Thursday. UNDER MR. AQUINO, pork barrel allocations for Congress WENT UP from P7.89 billion in 2008 during the Arroyo administration to P24.62 billion in 2011 and P25.24 billion next year, said former Iloilo City congressman Augusto Syjuco. Former Pres Gloria Arroyo, he said, had allocated P7.89B in 2008, P9.67B in 2009 and P10.86B in 2010 for congressional pork, officially known as PDAF. "Pres Aquino IMMEDIATELY INCREASED the PDAF to 24.62B in 2012, P24.89B this year and P25.24B for 2014," said Syjuco.
