Mr. Bernardo Diaz,
Honest politician (s)? Like looking for a needle in a haystack, isn’t it? The possibility of finding one or two or three is not impossible. Hard to find I tell you that, nevertheless, you have one within your reach….JDV.
Him, being a member of the administration, is an easy and convenient target for the scapegoat, but let his career speak for itself. Let's separate the untruth, the falsity from the realities of his service. There's naught of record you could pinpoint of any wrongdoing, like misappropriation of public funds, any violation of the public trust. Nada. He is as clean and clear like the first rain in May.
Pork barrel funds? You're absolutimo, it's people's money. These are monies budgeted and allocated to every senator and congressman to spend in their districts for the common good. On the provincial, city and municipal level, it's called IRA…Internal Revenue Allotments. The same cuisines in a different culinary setting. Everything about these funds are legit. It mustered congressional approval. It's the law.
The way you're talking, whom would you entrust its safekeeping and spending if you're so concerned? For the spending, I leave that to everybody's imagination. However, if you were to ask me, I'll leave that task with confidence to… JDV.
