         President Noynoy Aquino now is on fire because he is battling against the Supreme Court. He don’t want to accept their decision that Disbursement Acceleration Program is illegal because it doesn’t undergo to the legal process. Because of this issue the integrity of his administration was questioned by the public. If they are against PDAF, why they made an another form of pork barrel?

          Why does he still want to pursue DAP, if this is being already declared as illegal? It seems that he don’t know that the Judicial Branch has the final say such a complicated case like DAP. It is normal to appeal for the loser camp, but to attack the high court is unusual. Does the President is power tripping or he want to protect someone like Budget Secretary Buth Abad, the creator of that controversial policy? Let us say that their intention is good; but they are not become transparent. That’s why their actions became doubtful for many people.

           The important question is who benefited from DAP. Is it the public or the allies of P-Noy? The Aquino Adminstration was already explained that they used the funds from DAP for important projects that the public could benefit. Maybe yes, because they made a lot of beautiful projects like police modernization, relocation resettlement of the informal settlers, building insfracture and many more. He also said that the administration didn’t selective from giving fund from DAP. They don’t care about the political affiliation; eitheir it is color yellow or other color. But all of this will put in vain if the source of funds is not according to the law. It might also be used for personal interest.

             Based on the news that propagated, Interior Secretary Mar Roxas is the biggest recipient of funds from DAP. He accepted about 10 billion pesos. But Sec. Roxas said that he used that money to implement projects in DILG and he denied that he is using it for the preparation of his candidacy in 2016. According to him, his political enemies want him to put in shame and to wreck his personality. Even P-Noy was accused that he also used money from DAP. The Department of Agrarian Reform said that they released 5.4 billion pesos and it was used for the payment of landowners including Hacienda Luisita.

             So, P-Noy should stop from his claim that DAP is legal. If he still insist it, the public would conclude that they are only protecting their personal interest, not the interest of the people.
