DON'T FORGET THIS NEWS ITEM JUST THIS JAN 14, 2013 OF PHILSTAR: Cayetano sibling biggest 'pork' spenders
- Amid the brouhaha over the supposed cash gifts given by SP Juan Ponce Enrile to majority senators, senators have also used up most, if not all of the P200-million Priority Development Assistance Funds (PDAF) allocated to each of them for 2012, Siblings Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano used up their pork barrel and even went beyond the 200-million ceiling after they spent P256,700,000 and P277,006,092, respectively. Alan Cayetano, who is also minority floor leader, spent P190,200,000 out of his 2012 PDAF allocation while the rest of P66,500,000 came from "continuing" appropriations. His elder sister Pia, got P150,004,190 out of her PDAF allocation and some P127,061,902 from "continuing" appropriations. Following the Cayetanos in the "high spenders" circle are Senators Antonio Trillanes IV who has used up P253,591,680; Sen. Francis Pangilinan at P227,200,000; Sen Teofisto Guingona III at P229,400,000; and Sen. Loren Legarda at P206,000,000.
