Pork oozes from 2014 national budget

MILITANT group Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) claimed that the national budget for 2014, which was recently signed by President Benigno Aquino 3rd, is filled with pork barrel funds.

KMU said that legislators’ pork funds previously under the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF), which the Supreme Court has ruled unconstitutional, have merely been included in the budgets of various government agencies and that legislators can access the said funds through “recommendations.”
