Contemplating on the PCIJ explanatory report that the top two with the biggest insertions or “additions by amendment” to the executive-palace-proposed national budget are … drumroll please…
the Speaker of the House himself (Speaker Bojjie) and the House Budget Appropritions Committee chair herself Mika Suansing —
— these two will have the biggest pork budget allocations resulting in the biggest future kickbacks (do the math, the bigger the pork the bigger the kickback)
According to an economist, budgetary allocations per district should be based on poverty incidence and population, computed together.
The “power of the purse” of the House of Representatives however means they keep the purse to themselves, and the power.
Of course.
Budgetary allocations per district has always been based not on poverty incidence and population but on who have power positions.
The two are therefore the new King and Queen of Pork and future Kickbacks of the 2026 proposed budget …
give it up for … 2025 Pork King Speaker Bojie Dy and 2026 Pork Queen Budget Chair Mika Suansing …
Senators and media beat reporters of the bicam are working hard and being vigilant to trim the pork off the 2026 proposed budget but the House contingent led by 2026 Pork Queen Mika Suansing represent the congressmen/women who do not want to give up their kickbacks in billions for 2026…
kayo naman, senators and media workers, you’re being “rude” — give His and Her Majesties their crown
… Attitude Pose … (pose without smiling) …
… with my crown reindeer 🦌 headgear though …
