Ping won’t cover up for Noy’s crime

After the Supreme Court declared illegal Noynoy Aquino’s Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP), otherwise known as the “Presidential pork barrel,” Malacañang dictated on Congress to devise convenient ways to fleece this year’s national budget.

With little opposition, the culprits managed to insert provisions in the 2015 General Appropriations Act (GAA) to allow budget realignments, where the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) pools appropriated funds and diverts them to other uses.
