can these senators stop complaining about juggling their responsibilities and working long hours?! you earn six figures A MONTH.
kapag pagod kami, we don’t have the luxury of having people work for us, of having staff handle things for us, or of simply stepping away when things get overwhelming. we still have to show up because we have bills to pay and families to support.
and let’s be very clear: kayo ang tumakbo. nobody forced you to seek public office. you asked for the privilege AND THE RESPONSIBILITY of serving the Filipino people. you campaigned for the position knowing exactly what it entails.
millions of Filipinos are working long hours for a fraction of what you earn, paying taxes that help fund the very government you represent, while getting far fewer resources, protections, and privileges in return.
so maybe stop acting like doing the job you actively sought is some extraordinary burden.
nakakahiya naman.
🔥 ARMY DID THE WORK. SO WHAT DID SARA DUTERTE’S DepEd’s ₱15.54 MILLION CONFIDENTIAL FUND ACTUALLY PAY FOR?
OMG, ang lala nito. 😱
Imagine si Col. Manaros Boransing II ka.
Lumapit sa’yo si then-DepEd Usec. Nolasco Mempin asking for a certification.
So, you certify what you actually know: that the Philippine Army successfully conducted Youth Leadership Summits and IEC activities.
Nothing unusual. Army programs yun. Army ang nagplano at nagpatakbo naman talaga.
But here’s the problem.
According to the prosecution, that certification later became part of the documentation DepEd submitted to COA in connection with ₱15.54 million supposedly paid as confidential-fund rewards to informers. 😲
Except Boransing wasn’t certifying DepEd informers.
He wasn’t certifying that ₱15.54 million confidential fund was actually paid to them.
He wasn’t certifying that their intelligence produced those Army activities.
In fact, Boransing testified that no DepEd confidential funds were used in those activities.
So, imagine his certification saying essentially:
“Yes, the Army conducted these programs.”
Then DepEd allegedly using that accomplishment as supporting documentation for millions in its own confidential expenditures.
That is what makes this serious for DepEd under Sara Duterte.
Because, if the Army certification proves only what the Army did, then DepEd still has to prove what DepEd did with ₱15.54 million.
Saan na napunta yun?
Who were the informers?
What information did they provide?
What connected that information to these Army activities?
And what evidence proves the ₱15.54 million was legitimately paid?
The Army can account for its programs.
The question now is whether Sara Duterte’s DepEd can account for its ₱15.54 million.
Tapos sasabihin ng mga supporters nya na pinupulitika lang si Sara? 😱
The Philippines has only two seasons: dry and wet.
Dry season drains your wallet (high electricity bills)
Wet season drowns your home (high floodwaters)
We’re paying for both.
CORRUPTION is the bill we never stop paying.
Let me share with you something hehe Imagine him having the same set of staff from his mayor years all the way to becoming Senate President.
