THIS is a lame excuse.
First, the LPP (League of Provinces of the Philippines) does not have a resolution granting P500, 000 each to Pampanga and Bulacan governors. Second, LPP is hard up on funds. How can it prioritize giving to Pampanga and Bulacan, both rich provinces. This is stupidity. Third, how could you give away P500, 000 of the people’s money without receipts? This is irresponsible.
The LPP [members] say they were able to meet only yesterday since their national president just came back from abroad. How could the LPP have distributed the money two weeks ago without their president, which according to their constitution, is the final approving authority for the release of any fund?
Governor Panlilio immediately reported the issue to the media after receiving the money. Was the LPP president already out of the country?
I think this matter really should be pursued until the truth comes out. The people are tired of all the lies.

according to your recent editorial, it is now people of the philippines vs the power-grasping gma and that money-grabbing convict. no, it is the people of the philippines versus the clan of greedy, me-first, trapos now in congress. gma and erap are only the representatives of this ruling class. we have been colonized by these leeches and bottom-dwellers. countrymen, let us take back our country from these crododiles and sharks!

i too, am tired of all these shenanigans of these politicians since time immemorial…but as long as there is a gov’t of patronage, and w/ congress as needed allies of a sitting president, this will go on forever.
the solution? why not adopt the form of gov’t of uk…when blair became unpopular, his party wasn’t able to muster votes in the parliament, thus he didn’t run anymore.
if the congressmen are all honorable, there would be no need to corrupt them. but, the system is an opportunity for corruption too, not only its people.
i see no end in sight except abolish congress, and then, we’ll save money as a result.

So you want the Philippines politic just like in UK? HA, HA! Imagine that. If the Philippines have the same politic system all the corruption has been going on right now will never come out, It just going to swipe under the rug, Better yet it just going to rott in payatas! tuloy ang ligaya ng mga kawatan.

I doubt if there is a Filipino that will believe LPP allegation.
Maybe Secretary Bunye only.
