I don't usually agree with Senator Santiago. But her latest bill vs publicity-hungry politicians earns my support. I am doubtful however if it will pass the congress. Knowing our politicians, this bill may not be debated at all in the "hollow"ed session halls.
It is sickening to see public work and public service projects being associated with politicians when the money used in these projects actually came from people's taxes. That is if there are any projects at all. It in fact interesting to see the unusual rise in the number of short term public works projects before any elections. Of course the projects will shamelessly thank the politician(s) who 'purportedly' financed the project out of their 'pork barrels' or any other government discretionary funds.
