"In all stories about the misuse of “pork”, the lawmakers and the President are routinely named, but not Abad. His name never comes up, even though no “pork” is ever released to any recipient unless he first clears it. He also controls the release of official data to the Commission on Audit and other agencies. Thus, by withholding the data from COA on the “pork” releases from 2010 up to the present (or until 2012 at least), he has kept the nation blind on the actual misuse of funds by the Aquino government, and kept the focus solely on the misuse of funds during the Arroyo administration. But although the total amount is not known, Aquino’s misuse and abuse of the “pork” is a non-contestable public fact. There has been no attempt to hide it. Aquino openly used the pork to bribe members of Congress to impeach and remove Renato Corona, the Arroyo-appointed Supreme Court chief justice, and to ram through the widely opposed, foreign-dictated population control law whose validity is now under question before the High Court."
