Inquirer today COA scores DBM over MALAMPAYA FUND release "Rep. Neri Colmenares on Monday said president aquino's channeling of the malampaya fund to the defense dept. and military should be considered misuse"

MALAMPAYA FUNDS THEN AND NOW:

THEN: Former Pres GMA was never known for "penny-pinching" or delaying tactics when it comes to disasters and calamities. (the double-whammy) ondoy and pepeng's devastation prompted her to do everything under her power to help the nation's recovery by releasing with urgency funds needed to cope with the situation. even the international community responded swiftly as well. be it malampaya or calamity funds, she responded promptly to remedy that emergency situation as it was dangerously transforming into hunger and health worries aside from huge loss of properties. her immediate physical presence on these two situations (not three or four days later), was a standard work ethic known to all. government's presence was felt as per geographical needs and not by party affiliation.

NOW: malampaya funds are being used like party funds to finance and railroad measures that will favor the whims and caprices of Tonto riding the lone ranger's white horse to impeach a chief justice, pass the RH law, Cyber crime law, Sin tax law and to demolish its perceived political opponents for the 2016 election. and the irony of it all, malampaya is NOW BEING PEDDLED TO DISTORT ITS USAGE TO VILIFY THE FORMER ADMINISTRATION AND PROCLAIM THEIR AS LILY WHITE.
