Learning from developed nations By Alex Lacson If the pork barrel system, in whatever form, is truly and completely abolished, if our lawmakers’ salaries and allowances are fixed annually by an independent body like Britain’s Ipsa, if we adopt a “transparency card” for our lawmakers like the one in Sweden, and if their powers and privileges are made to focus on enacting laws and seeking accountability from top officials of the executive branch for their decisions, programs, and expenditures, our Congress will become the biggest monitoring body in our government—and the biggest protector of our public funds. There will be no Priority Development Assistance Fund, no Disbursement Acceleration Program, etc.
