Teachers: Channel pork to education

THE Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) on Monday urged lawmakers to use their Priority Development Assistance Funds (PDAF) or pork barrel to fund projects on education and other social services.

“A big amount of the people’s money goes to corruption. This is clearly manifested in the recent pork barrel scam involving Janet Lim Napoles, her fake non-governmental organizations (NGOs), with some senators, congressmen and heads of government agencies. Malacañang is also a party to this anomaly,” Benjie Valbuena, the group’s national chairman, said.
