PNoy’s Pork Barrel Republic

It’s certainly no surprise that President Aquino and the Congress he controls won’t be listening to calls to investigate the alleged corruption of pork barrel funds.

What for? The damage had already been inflicted on Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and his protégé Gregorio Honasan as well as presidential or vice presidential timbers Ramon Revilla, Ferdinand Marcos, and Jinggoy Estrada with the purported exposés painting them as pork-barrel thieves. The message has been delivered by this regime: cooperate with us, or with media as a tool, we will bury you.
