SUPREME COURT DECISION ON THE UNCONSTITUTIONALITY OF PDAF
The decision by the Philippines' highest court on the Priority Development Assistance Fund--it was unconstitutional--was a victory for the oppressed Filipino people, a million slaps on greedy lawmakers who have been "feasting" on the Fund year after year after year.
Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, whose father was convicted of economic plunder, has been seen in Tacloban City, Leyte distributing relief goods to the Yolanda victims.
Jinggoy is merely giving back to them part of the money he and his cohorts siphoned allegedly from the Fund.
Shame on him for rubbing salt to the people's injury. That was part of the money he stole from them. It was merely a drop in the bucket, so to speak.
Incidentally, where are his co-accused--Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile and Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla--in the plunder charges filed against them by the Department of Justice?
