So now the pork barrel mess brings on the collateral damage for legitimate and accomplished non-government organizations This is extremely unfair and counterpoductive at the very least. In a country like this where government is hard pressed to deliver services, competent, sincere and legitimate non-government organizations are the answer and in fact, the salvation, particularly in rural areas. No, it is not the pork barrel congressmen and senators that deliver help as a matter of course. A few may have, though I would not think they did consistently. Too many detours into the political minefield that they are mired in. When politics are involved, everything takes its color. It is the non-government organizations partnering with aid agencies, local government units, philanthropic organizations that deliver.
