PNoy warns vs. using GMA as shock absorber

President Benigno Aquino 3rd has been warned by opposition lawmakers against blaming his predecessor, former President Gloria Arroyo, amid the heat that Aquino administration is getting for releasing Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) funds to lawmakers which is on top of the legislators’ Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel.

Reps. Ferdinand Martin Romualdez of Leyte, Tobias Tiangco of Navotas and Neri Colmenares of Bayan Muna party-list made the caution a day after President Aquino blasted his predecessor for misusing at least P1 trillion worth of government funds just to stay in power amid corruption allegations.
