So is this why Aquino doesn’t want FOI law?
It all makes sense now why the Aquino administration doesn’t support the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill. Especially with President Aquino’s and Senate President Franklin Drilon’s link to Janet Lim-Napoles coming to light for all the world to see, and following revelations about Mr. Aquino’s improper release of millions if not billions of pesos to provide financial support to Team PNoy in the May 13 elections. Now I understand everything: The Aquino administration refuses to support the passage of an FOI law because it wants to hide its own misuse of “pork funds.”
All the talk extolling the “daang matuwid” is just all talk. It is now clear that impeached and convicted Chief Justice Renato Corona was just an innocent sacrificial lamb in the Aquino administration’s scheme to control all branches of government. A goal Mr. Aquino successfully achieved by using his popularity, the powers of the presidency, and his power over “pork.”
Is this the kind of president the Filipino people would want to follow?
