Our congressmen and senators gave President Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino 3rd (The Last?) a prolonged standing ovation even before he could start his State of the Nation Address (SONA).

They saw nothing wrong in his hijacking of their inherent power of the purse. Since he had been giving them more of their much coveted pork, how can they not appreciate him? It really doesn’t matter to them that they’re supposed to be show windows of the people’s sentiments. The people’s thoughts be damned as long as they receive funds from the people’s taxes given them by the President “in good faith.”
