THE ACT of Congressman Benny Abante is more or less the same as the act of the Pampanga governor.
Is it that hard to clarify to the president or whoever distributed the money what it was for? It is pathetic for this lawmaker to suddenly come out of the closet after the scandal broke out. Transparency is the keyword here. Why is it that these mushrooms suddenly sprout only after one individual decides to stand for the right of the people to information? They are all like Pontius Pilate who washed his hands before Christ was crucified. They are only admitting that they received cash because there was a whistleblower and now claim to be innocent when in fact they could have actually done something in the first place.
Please, you politicians know that you are public servants and not servants to your personal interests. This should be a lesson for those who keep silent because they benefited out of such anomalous transactions and suddenly wash their hands and try to appear innocent when it is disclosed.
Sorry, but you are all guilty in the eyes and voice of the people.
Vox populi, vox dei.

Natural na yan sa isang ‘bogus government’. Eh, hindi naman kasi deeds and integrity ang nagpapatakbo sa ganyang klase ng gobyerno, kundi pera, pera, at pera.

NAKAKALUNGKOT LANG NA SI PASTOR (CONG.) ABANTE AY LUMABAS AT “NAG EXPOSE” DIN AFTER FATHER PANLILIO’S EXPOSE. Pastor Benny… Ba’t ngayon ka lang lumabas… Paki paliwanag sa amin na mga miembro mo…. Magkano na ang natatangap mong mga “cashgifts” MULA NG IKAW AY MAGING CONGRESSMAN!
Sayang Pastor-Congreesman. Bakit ngayo lang! sana di ka na lang lumabas at nag “expose” din. Pero sa isang banda… nakabuti rin para mapatotohanan ang expose ni Gov. Panlilio.
HINAHANGAAN KO SI PANLILIO!!! A priest-politician who exemplified true transparency in governance.
I PRAY THAT MANY LIKE HIM WILL RISE UP AND BE COURAGEOUS TO STAND UP against corruption. God bless you Governor Panlilio. You are an inspiration to your beloved countrymen.
Your Mayors and Vice Gov and provincial
board members went to malacanang to give support to GMA. Magkano kaya ang binigay na cash gift sa kanila! Grabe!

MONEY, MONEY AND MORE MONEY. AS THE SCRIPTURE SAID; FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.
WHOEVER AMONG THOSE PRESENT IN MALACANANG THAT TOOK THE MONEY CLEARLY KNOWS IT WAS WRONG AND WHAT IT WAS FOR. FOR JUSTIFYING OR MAKING A LOT OF ALIBIS AND EXCUSES FOR ACCEPTING THEM INSTEAD OF REGRETTING THEY TOOK IT, ONLY JUST SINK THEM DEEPER IN THE MUD.
BUT WHO AMONG THEM POLITICIANS ALLIED WITH GMA DO REALLY CARE IF THEY’RE ACTIONS ARE WRONG AND WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK. I THINK NONE. THEY ARE SO ACCUSTOMED SWIMMING WITH GMA IN THE MUD. DONT KNOW IF THEY’RE ALL WILLING TO SWIM WITH HER IN THE LAKE OF FIRE.
