MLA STANDARD: ROY CALLS FOR '99M' PROTEST TO END PORK

Saying the P137.3-BILLION DAP was illegal, a lawyer on Thursday called on the Filipinos to increase the "Million People March movement" to "99 million" to put an end to the illegal and unconstitutional use of public funds by public officials. Judd Roy, one of the defense counsels of ousted CJ Renato Corona, also called for an end to what he described as the deteriorating "state of political culture" in the country arising from widespread corruption in the government. Roy recalled how he had been cited in contempt by the Senate, sitting as an impeachment court, last year when he first disclosed that MalacaƱang had offered P100M worth of pork-barrel projects to the senator-judges to convict his client.
