P-Noy hijacking protest rally against pork barrel LUNETA HIJACK: President Noynoy Aquino is attempting to hijack tomorrow’s anti-pork barrel mass protest at the Luneta by promising to scrap porky congressional development funds and to prosecute those who had pocketed billions intended for public projects. If not tamed on time, the protest against the plunder of the Priority Development Assistance Funds in the budget (popularly known as pork barrel) may whip up a political tsunami that could sweep away the Aquino administration. The President promised in a statement last Friday to scrap PDAF, to tighten the system of releasing public funds for countryside development, and to prosecute those who stole pork barrel funds. Tomorrow we may have a hint of whether or not the protesters, whose wrath had been whipped up by social media, will surrender their reform initiative to the President and his propagandists. philstar/opinion/2013/08/25/1131611/p-noy-hijacking-protest-rally-against-pork-barrel
