The LPP officials refused to apologize for the money distribution and blamed their secretariat for handing out the money right in Malacañang and for not explaining to the two governors what the money was for.news from Inquirer.
Evardone said it was unfortunate that the Palace was dragged into the issue, which was a result of a “miscommunication.”
A convenient excuse. An escape goat.
Not that it is unbelievable, it's just so late an excuse. And I don't want to add anymore to those who are perpetually questioning the motives of this administration. But, sanamagan, they should have done that the very next morning Gov. Panlilio of Pampanga asked them to explain what the money was all about. It is laughabale at the most, but everyone finds it funny no more. So the spokesperson of LPP claimed it was because of the secretariat's fault not explaining to the newbie governors what the money in the brown baggy is for and of all the places distribute it inside the palace! Doling out 500,000s without explanation nor receipts is not dubious?! Wow, where is transparency albeit accountability? Ho hum. It seems, from the same article, that the only qualification for receiving such small amount of moolah is to be a first timer governor. Because it is the 'noble' wish of the LPP to help the said governors in their 'capacity-building' .Despite the capacity of the province? Would it not be inequitable to give Bulacan and Pampanga (already relatively stable if not rich provinces ) a measly 500,000 when other provinces would have benefited from that ALLOTED/PULLED/CONTRIBUTED fund which according to the governonr of Palawan totals 21 Million (the fund or the total money given?).
Noble huh?
Hmm... this is one of the legitimate issues which fails to solicit a palpable reaction from Juan dela Cruz. Haay, it seems many are still lethargic to take action (not necessarily on the street). But apathy just seemed to be still the general atmosphere. Yep, everyone just wanted to go on with their everyday life, earn a living, feed their family and politicians be damned, nobody cares anymore. Why? My observation is that many if not most are fed up with the antics of our politicians. Oppositionists blaming the administration for the nation's every ill, conducting investigation at the hint of every controversy, all for media mileage. And the administration for shrugging off it's human right's statistics, of its legitimacy, of its foreign policies and treaties (JPEPA, ZTE, CyberED, etc.). Of the so-called civil society who also blames the administration also for everything including the death of their pets. Of religious preachers who cannot help but meddle with the afffairs of the State. Of the leftist activists who denounces every government as 'tuta ng kano'. Of the rightist government apologists. and other clowns and buffoons. (ejusdem generis). All these contribute to the numbing of Juan dela Cruz whose body now has an inch thick kalyo.
We are not stupid, and please do not push us over the edge. Because when push comes to shove, bigla na lang magigising ang mga damdaming makabayan! And, I may be an idealist but hell yeah, what's wrong in wanting to be governed and served by a government that truly cares for the welfare of its citizens?
I'm sure marami pa rin ang mga matatapang, tunay, palaban, at makabayan!
