The PDAF and the DAP pork barrel scams will not go away. The Philippines has been undergoing the complex and conflict-ridden processes of deterioration and steady erosion of state functions for decades. This is payback time. An increasingly sophisticated voter population with the advent of social media, and the import of modern ideas on governance by overseas Filipino workers both fuel a prolonged voter outrage. The behavior of my colleagues with respect to PDAF and DAP have been so self-seeking that senators and representatives involved have crossed the line into kleptocracy or into state capture. The greed for pork barrel among lawmakers is undermining government legitimacy.
