Pampanga joins call to junk ‘pork’

ANGELES CITY–Kapampangans, led by Pampanga Auxiliary Bishop Pablo Virgilio David, joined efforts to completely abolish the “pork barrel” system in the country.
Hundreds of Kapampangans stood up against the pork barrel system–or the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) of lawmakers–during a mass celebrated by David at the Holy Rosary Parish church here.
During the mass, David called on concerned Kapampangans to “seek for the truth” against widespread corruption in the country.
The mass here coincides with the “One Million March Against Pork Barrel” at the Luneta Park in Manila.
Marchers in Manila, including those who attended the mass in Angeles City, wore white shirts as a symbol of their protest.
David encouraged Kapampangans to demand transparency from public officials.
“’Wag iwanan ang governance sa mga pulitiko lamang. Sana sa pamamagitan ng ating participation, mapalitan natin ang ‘tiwali’ sa ‘tiwala’,” David said.
Groups like the Advocacy for the Development of Central Luzon (ADCL) and the Subli Taya Ing Upaya, Bie at Leguan Ning Indung Kapampangan (Subli) attended the mass.
Sonny Dobles, president of the ADCL, supported not only the abolishment of the pork barrel system but all forms of corruption, as well.
“The pork barrel is just one issue. The root of this issue is corruption. That’s what we need to address,” Dobles said.
Dobles also encouraged Filipinos to demand transparency from all public officials starting from the barangay level up to the president.

Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan also expressed his support to the scrapping of the PDAF system. However, he said the money allotted for discretionary projects should be given to line agencies for continuity.
“Lawmakers would ask what will happen to their scholars? Their budget should be given to line agencies then to continue their programs and projects,” Pamintuan said.
The pork barrel system, Pamintuan said, started in 1986, during the administration of President Aquino’s mother, former president Corazon Aquino. ●Charlene Cayabyab
