Another Cabinet member who must explain her actions is Department of Social Welfare and Development )DSWD) Sec. Dinky Soliman.
Soliman has requested P2 BILLION more, meaning on top of the P21- billion original budget, for the DSWD’s conditional cash transfer program for the poor.
But despite the additional P2 billion she wants, Soliman has admitted in a presentation in the House of Representatives that the number of beneficiaries will not be increased.
Soliman said on the contrary, a whooping 155,000 families has been removed from the list of beneficiaries because they are not qualified for the program for the CCT.
So where the hell will Soliman use the P2 billion? What is it for?
Normally, one asks for additional funds only when the original allocation has been wiped out or is about to be totally consumed.
Where, then, is the original P21 billion budget for the CCT? Where did the money go and where are the SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS for the expenses, for public scrutiny?
We have the right to know these details, guys. Remember, the P21 billion came from OUR TAXES.
Soliman wants to SPEND MORE FOR LESS. And to think that since the first day of its assumption to office, the Aquino Government has been consistently complaining that THERE’S NO MONEY or NOT ENOUGH MONEY for everything.
Soliman had better have a DETAILED, and I mean ITEMIZED to the last centavo, program on where she will spend the extra P2 billion she wants.
Our congressmen should demand this from her, PRONTO.
Since she has publicly requested for the additional P2 billion, Soliman should already have a justification for it.
If she fails to justify the additional P2 billion, then that request should be THROWN into the GARBAGE DUMP and a THOROUGH REVIEW of the original P21 billion budget for the CCT must be STARTED, on the spot.
If Soliman doesn’t have any basis at all yet, and just requested for the P2 billion simply because she wanted to, then not only the House but the Senate, Malacanang and every other government agency possible must INVESTIGATE Soliman IMMEDIATELY!
And funds of the DSWD had better be AUDITED, now!
That request for an additional P2 billion would be nothing less than a DESPICABLE, CRUDE AND VULGAR attempt at HIGHWAY ROBBERY for us ordinary taxpayers.
Soliman is a known loyal supporter of President Aquino. Let’s see if Pnoy is really for the ‘tuwid na daan’ which he has been trumpeting about since last year.
Ten of our friends on “De Lima must explain on Leviste escape” :
ROMMEL LOPEZ of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Pera- perahan lang yan.
LIZA DE GUZMAN of Hong Kong
Hanep talaga ano? Dito kapatid, napaka fair ng batas kaya talagang bibilib ka. Hindi kagaya diyan sa atin.
JUAN DELA CRUZ
They should all answer for it. At yung iba pang VIP na kriminal. for sure pinabalik nila agad sa kulungan. Bbaka mahuli rin ng tao!
BAL DOMINGO of Quezon City
Money works!
DATU CAMAD ALI of Dumaguete City
Officials should observe the highest degree of responsiblity. Therefore, she must explain.
HENRY NERA JR. of Quezon City
Magkano kaya ang temporary freedom sa NBP?
MARLENE DAMOLO HOWE of Tacoma, Washington, USA
Why De Lima? The President should fire the Bureau of Corrections head, then trickle down the warden, jail guards and others who were responsible for letting the prisoner out! De Lima and Diokno are both appointees and Diokno is the one responsible for running the Bilibid. That is his job! It's not her responsibility to run the prison,
JOE ALVARADO JR. of Makati City
IIyan kay Leviste is just the tip of the iceberg. Marami pa iyan. For a fee, any prisoner could go out.
DELIA SANIDAD of Santiago, Ilocos Sur
This is alarming.
NOEMI MONTENEGRO
Why should it be on De lima? She can't do everything all at the same time? There are a lot of priorities to be solved. Complaints are already on her table about the delays in the Maguindanao Massacre and other big cases. The Leviste case should be the responsibility of the prison director and his people. 30
