Pork barrel use in budget makes FOI passage necessary

If President Aquino will accept his pork barrel and include pork barrel allocations in the national budget, there is no reason he shouldn’t support the passage of the Freedom of Information bill.

Seeing how billions of pesos easily go to waste in bogus government projects, it doesn’t make sense why he won’t support the bill’s passage.
