Bravo, Rep. Toby Tiangco!

Navotas Rep. Tobias “Toby”  Tiangco performed a great service Wednesday when he held his ground for the submission by Budget Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad of the detailed use of the so-called Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP).

People who want accountability and transparency in government support Tiangco’s efforts.  Billions of pesos have been spent for DAP but the people, the supposed “bosses” of the administration, are still in the  dark on this issue. It’s to the credit of Tiangco that he wouldn’t settle for a wishy-washy submission of DAP details from Abad. He knows that the people wouldn’t want half-truths.
