Pinoys angry, frustrated with Aquino – Diokno

ASIDE FROM being the “last peaceful  alternative,” the People’s Initiative (PI) campaign to fix the government’s “corruption-prone” budget system is the “last best hope” for majority of Filipinos who are “angry and frustrated” with the administration of President Benigno Aquino 3rd, former Budget secretary Benjamin Diokno said on Sunday.

“Most Filipinos are angry and they want real reforms. Because they are disappointed and frustrated with the elected leaders, they are willing to take the act of legislation, through the people’s initiative, into their hands. This is an act of direct democracy as opposed to representative democracy,” Diokno told The Manila Times.
