Where is pork barrel king’s civil society?
In the middle of the scandal over the pork barrel scam, the “civil society” groups that persecuted Renato Corona and Gloria Arroyo are invisible. Where is Leah Navarro and her Black and White Movement? Where is Jim Paredes? Where is Harvey Keh?
These friends of the Aquino administration are nowhere to be found at this time. And neither do we hear the sound of their “righteous” voices. They are not seen in the protest rallies or mass actions calling for the abolition of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF). President Aquino, and this civil society groups are working closely together to make sure that the public does not call for his ouster.
Keh just recently defended the Aquino administration notwithstanding the controversies hounding it. The saintly yellow team will continue to try to impress the Filipino people that “Pork Barrel King” Aquino is the best president ever.
